	♥ 9:04am karlward: Geez save some critical acclaim for the rest of us.
	♥ 9:04am David (in London): Hey testing - It goes OK, thanks, struggling to get focus after a long weekend, but otherwise all good. Handy - Good my brother. How was the wearing of the Woolworth hippy wig?
	♥ 9:05am LastWhiteRhino: Uno mas Eno.
	♥ 9:05am Baja Joe: Mornin' Joe.
	♥ 9:06am Asheville Jon: Thank You Joe for everything you do!
	9:06am duke: Hello Joe
	♥ 9:06am WoodsOfNH: I have less boing going on this morning.
	♥ 9:06am Hughie Considine: Brian and Roger didn't have the same kind of sibling rivalry as the Davies brothers or the Gallaghers. Although I heard they once got into a bit of a row about the setting on a synthesizer.
	♥ 9:07am Handy Haversack: @David: Glorious. It had been too long. I'll have to do it again and take notes to get ready for our (American) football pool -- assuming the NFL plays this year, which, what do I know?
	9:07am Snoochienucci: i missed my "yip mark" but i am here
	9:08am Joe McG: Good morning, radio friends! A gentle start today.
	♥ 9:08am Krys O.: Perfect selections, Joe.
	♥ 9:08am Hughie Considine: "Roger, Brian, put down that Moog and come in for dinner!"
	♥ 9:08am David (in London): Handy - As soon as the lockdown is over and my son comes over again, we're having a watch at our end too! I'll keep you posted. Snoochie - Yipping glad you're here. Hello!
	9:08am djsheilab: What a magnificent beginning to your show! So serene, elegant, and melodic, and just in time for the rain.
	♥ 9:09am David (in London): Hughie - Ma Eno, not to be messed with.
	9:09am Deborah: Even Clyde The Kitty is meditative this morning. Thanks. Perfect to watch heavy rain, hail and think about functioning.
	9:09am Bill from RockTavern: It's scary (in a good way)how quick Monday morning rolls around and it's time for another Surface Noise❤️
	♥ 9:09am Hughie Considine: She raised her boys proper, @David
	9:10am DRATSUM: This feels like dying.
	♥ 9:10am Baja Joe: Oh this Haigh is lovely
	♥ 9:10am Threemoons: Good morning Joe McG, fellow YipYips
	9:11am Snoochienucci: @DIL im yipping ecstatic
	♥ 9:12am melinda: Morning everyone
	9:12am Joe McG: @sheilab: Ah, yes, and here comes some water now....
	♥ 9:12am Corey: Morning Joe and everyone. Lovely start to the show.
	♥ 9:13am David (in London): Hi Melinda.
	♥ 9:13am Aaron Working In Newark: Good Morning Joe and everyone!
	9:15am Toothgrinder Tom: I’m hoping they will get baseball going perhaps playing games without fans in the stands; that’s what they’re doing in South Korea and Taiwan.
	♥ 9:15am Webhamster Henry: Birdsongs FTW!
	♥ 9:15am p20: I've been wanting to hear the new Rog and Bri record, thanks for playing it Joe!
	9:16am DJ Guin: @ToothGTome -- looks like MLB might commence on July 1 for games. Football is too far in the future to worry about.
	♥ 9:17am p20: Yes I just called Brian Eno "Bri", it's OK, he's cool with it, we're tight like that :)
	9:17am JOYofit: thankyou
	♥ 9:17am Handy Haversack: Hey, Snoochie!
	♥ 9:17am WoodsOfNH: I have my doubts that any of the sports stuff will actually commence this year. The open early crowd are going to force the numbers back up. I really hope I'm wrong about that but still...
	♥ 9:18am p20: Football is a contact sport. I think we should start with non-contact sports. Like free-throw competitions. (Never liked fooball anyway, the brutality and brain injuries are a turn off)
	9:19am Toothgrinder Tom: @DJGuin great news!
	♥ 9:19am David (in London): Hello T.Tom and p20.
	9:19am Snoochienucci: Hello Mr Handy!
	9:20am Jesse Dorris: Really loving the show today, Joe!
	9:20am Toothgrinder Tom: Football can look after itself, it’s a big boy.
	♥ 9:20am TristaC.LadyCaveBrat: This Blue is the Color reminds me of the band Yume Bitsu a bit.
	9:20am Toothgrinder Tom: @DiL greetings, my friend!
	♥ 9:21am David (in London): p20 - I appeared in documentary about Fela Kuti once, and they cut me in next to Eno such that the miracle of the edit made it look like we were in some way connected.
	9:21am Joe McG: @Jesse: We're slowly warming up, emerging from the surf, walking up onto the beach....
	♥ 9:22am p20: @D(iL): I love that story! I'd probably print out a screen-grab and frame it.
	9:22am DJ Guin: @p20 -- I am in agreement. Same reason I cannot watch boxing. Football I will follow, but I do not bet nore really give a shit about the self aggrandizing of players, i.e. OBJ et.al. MLB has become more about dingers and 100+ mph pitches than strategy.
	9:23am Joe McG: @Trista: I don't know Yume Bitsu, you'll have to fill me in! :)
	♥ 9:23am steveo: good morning; digging the vibe
	9:23am DJ Guin: @DIL -- so you and Eno are tight, eh? lol
	9:23am morphe': Making me think of a song; woman sings "...didnt have to____>>>>>?????" Super sweet song... Any guesses???
	9:24am Toothgrinder Tom: @p20 maybe launch a professional ultimate frisbee league and work up from there. Outdoor lawn curling would be another good one.
	♥ 9:27am Webhamster Henry: Non-touch football! Someone picks it up and throws it, everyone else runs away.
	♥ 9:27am Brian in UK: Hey Joe.. Fans of the brothers Eno might care to look here. www.mixing-colours.com
	♥ 9:28am David (in London): p20 - If you search for 'Afrobeat Rebellion' on YouTube you can see it for yourself. It's just the short trailer version, but it's still quite fun.
	♥ 9:28am David (in London): Greetings morphester and Brian.
	♥ 9:29am p20: @TT: Pro Ultimate Frisbee could be pretty cool. When I was in college there was a requirement to participate in a sport. And I am not really a sports guy, even less so when I was a skinny college student. But at least Ultimate was one of the options, and I discovered that I really liked it.
	9:29am Deborah: Love the music, still.
	9:30am Toothgrinder Tom: @Webhamster Henry or just play the kicking aspect of the game - everything is a field goal.
	9:31am MeMo BoingBoing: Ah! I've heard Kate on NPR before! Gorgeous stuff.
	9:31am Toothgrinder Tom: @p20 yes, I understand it’s quite popular. It was quidditch before quidditch.
	♥ 9:32am Krys O.: Saw Kate Tempest in Brooklyn years ago. Such a riveting performance.
	♥ 9:32am the nOggin: Kate Tempest rules! I am diggin the set, Joe!
	9:32am ZeeBee: Giving me shivers.
	9:32am Jeezuseffinchrist: oh boy, we're starting monday virtual staff meeting and I can tell something is up. My boss is waaaay too cheerily greeting everyone as they pop in, and it sounds like she's choking back emotion..... this is unusual :/
	9:32am βrian: We awoke to freezing weather here on day 56. I hope the tomatoes made it.
	9:32am MeMo BoingBoing: @krys I don't know if I could handle it live. I'd be blubbering lol
	♥ 9:32am Webhamster Henry: @Toothgrinder Tom You mean "Footbol" "Footy" or as the Americans call it - "Soccor". Just get rid of the goalie.
	9:33am Jeezuseffinchrist: my plants are suffering too @brian
	♥ 9:34am Brian in UK: David, staying cool? There was a threat of frost last night but it was not to be.
	9:35am Marc Francis: Once again Joe McGasko is playing EXACTLY what I didn't know I needed to hear. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
	♥ 9:35am Brian in UK: Reminds me a little of Mike Skinner.
	♥ 9:35am WoodsOfNH: Dunno about everybody else but on a lot of days I have a hard time concentrating on work. Strangely, I _can_ concentrate on painting: imgur.com...
	9:35am testingwithfire (she / they): @Jeezuseffinchrist sending good vibes...
	9:35am Jeezuseffinchrist: @testingwithfire thanks <3
	9:36am Joe McG: @Woods: Yes, keep creating!
	♥ 9:36am David (in London): Brian - Brrrr. No lunch out in the garden today sadly. Woods - It's not just you. I've been REALLY struggling to get focus today.
	9:36am pellegrino.steve: looper!!
	♥ 9:36am Krys O.: @Memo Boing Boing-Tears were shed, indeed.
	♥ 9:37am b!!!: This is a wonderful set.
	♥ 9:37am p20: Tennis is a good non-contact sport. Tennis, anyone?
	9:37am Snoochienucci: @Woods @DIL totally agree about the concentration thing. 2 weeks ago it was really bad for me. Last week was a little better. For me it seems to be a weekly mood is set and then follows me until the next monday. This week seems a little more focused so far, but well see. and sweet painting woods!
	9:38am Deborah: @ WoodsOfNH: Same with me. Teaching college courses online due to pandemic and papers need to be graded, students need attention (way too much) and I am not my usual prompt self. In a complete mindset of "oh well." Some creative urges but not yet. I write.
	9:39am morphe': Got the song tweeked by the Steve Hiett instumental earlier = Sade - By YOUR SIDE... - not a request just a memory...
	♥ 9:40am WoodsOfNH: @Joe McG Yes! I intend to. By the way, that one is called Fever Dream 2019/2020. Will start another this afternoon.
	9:42am testingwithfire (she / they): @WoodsOfNH @Deborah @Snoochienucci For me concentration is linked to motivation, and sometimes the motivation simply ain't there, like early last week. I got a new client late last week and acquired another special project, so motivation came back (thankfully).
	♥ 9:43am Handy Haversack: Dig the painting, @Woods! I guess I'm concentrating OK on work. Seems like a distraction from all the OTHER stuff. I'm kind of staying on top of game prep, too, which is my main creative channel.
	♥ 9:44am Hughie Considine: We have achieved lift-off!
	♥ 9:44am David (in London): Off for an exciting trip to the shop now. Back soon with treats for everyone.
	♥ 9:45am TIMPANDA: What's poppin Joe? Thanks for the chill morning tunes today
	9:46am Toothgrinder Tom: @Webhamster Henry I should have clarified I meant football americano. Soccer might work if they stuck to passing the ball. There’s already a kind of social distancing aspect to soccer.
	♥ 9:46am p20: Thanks for the Diamond Head!
	9:46am P-90: Really like that Manzanera track.
	9:46am wizard frog: Does this sound like Pink Floyd ish?
	♥ 9:46am Handy Haversack: Looking forward to lemon curd, David!
	9:47am Snoochienucci: @testingwithfire i totally agree about the motivation aspect, thats a great point
	♥ 9:47am p20: If this were a Pink Floyd song, I think it might be my favorite of theirs.
	♥ 9:47am WoodsOfNH: @Handy Thanks! Now I've gotta go looking for my lost motivation...
	9:48am Toothgrinder Tom: @WoodsofNH perhaps Austin Powers could lend a hand?
	9:48am MeMo BoingBoing: @Joe you're killing me softly with these songs
	9:49am Toothgrinder Tom: Gotta crank up the Hardy ...
	♥ 9:50am Hughie Considine: How sublime this is....
	9:50am Joe McG: @MeMo: I can't seem to stop playing records...but I'll come on mic soon. I have to!
	9:50am Brendan: Magical morning to you Joe and all. Great first set.
	♥ 9:50am WoodsOfNH: @Toothgrinder Yes. I should quit work for the day, crack open a beer, and watch Austin Powers. Brilliant!!! ;-)
	9:51am Toothgrinder Tom: @Woods particularly the one where he’s on a quest to get his mojo back (can’t remember which one that was).
	♥ 9:52am p20: "Diamond Head" is an underrated gem. My good buddy Brian Eno sings "Big Day" on there (which I always like to hear)
	9:52am Toothgrinder Tom: Is ‘Bowm Bowm Bowm’ on a particular album of hers?
	9:53am Earth Walker: P20 we used to play touch football in the streets of Brooklyn sewer to sewer Tackle in the park Thin helmets got a concussion once That explains it
	9:53am Toothgrinder Tom: Brian Eno and I used to exchange dresses.
	♥ 9:54am Brian in UK: Do you know who I am?
	♥ 9:55am p20: Hey Bri! How's it hangin?
	9:55am Earth Walker: Deborah. My Bro teaches in Boston from home He says it pays more
	♥ 9:56am Handy Haversack: There's that voice! Smooth Joe McG!
	9:57am MeMo BoingBoing: This playlist is your credentials.
	9:57am Deborah: These classes were physical but the college closed its physical plant. I am trying to get more online classes from other colleges. Same measly community college adjunct pay whether online or in person where I teach.
	9:57am Toothgrinder Tom: Station ID.
	9:57am egould310: You were on a roll. Screw the FCC, do your thing. Greetings from Seattle. :-)
	9:57am Earth Walker: Hey DJ dude thanks for the musical journey
	9:58am Earth Walker: Hi Handy. How’s it going
	9:58am βrian: From what I hear, there's also an East Ahrange nearby.
	9:58am Roberto: Except military dog tags include religious affiliation (or they used to anyway).
	♥ 9:58am Handy Haversack: Calvin Rutstrum's route-finding book talks about how to orient yourself in the wilderness by radio call signs and signal -- they are important for trekkers!
	♥ 9:58am Brian in UK: There is only one thing that is lost: the truth.
	9:59am Cp304: This is nice medley
	9:59am Earth Walker: Hey Joe where ya going with that voice in the mike
	♥ 10:01am melinda: I really liked the Suzi Jane.
	♥ 10:05am pantz: "One More Kiss" is my favorite song off of that Blade Runner soundtrack. It would've fit right in to your crooner set a couple weeks ago.
	♥ 10:06am WoodsOfNH: Is it Felder time yet? (* Shoot...wrong day *)
	♥ 10:07am p20: will watch music videos if they are arty enough
	10:08am Jim the poet: cavalcade of death is the new name of my band
	10:08am Toothgrinder Tom: I like ‘Rachel’s Song’ from the Bladerunner soundtrack.
	10:09am MeMo BoingBoing: @Joe It was Valentine's Day!
	♥ 10:09am WoodsOfNH: Habibi. I think it was two weeks from now.
	10:09am MeMo BoingBoing: Habibi is the best
	♥ 10:09am Handy Haversack: Yeah, Valentines Day! Saw them at Market Hotel in BK the next night!
	10:09am Toothgrinder Tom: Habibi = darling, no?
	10:09am Snoochienucci: this one gets stuck in your head all day
	♥ 10:10am ifeelfatnsassy: I bought this album while they were on the air with Sheila. Zero regrets. The whole album is great.
	♥ 10:10am Handy Haversack: @TTom: Yup.
	10:10am Joe McG: @ToothTom: Yes, I believe so. They really were darling people.
	10:10am MeMo BoingBoing: @Tom right. Or like "sweetheart"
	10:10am Snoochienucci: think so toothgrinder but im no expert
	10:10am βrian: Habib'ti is the best, too.
	♥ 10:10am Crudbringer: morning habibis
	10:11am Snoochienucci: crud!!! whats up!
	♥ 10:11am ratso: I dig the Habibi
	♥ 10:11am Crudbringer: I had this dream I was pushing a stone up a hill, and it kept rolling back down.
	♥ 10:11am Handy Haversack: Crudbringer! How goes?
	10:11am ?: Hello D.J. Hello all.Habib my favorite deli on Flatbush Avenue,BK.Cheers.
	♥ 10:12am WoodsOfNH: That first record is great too. SO catchy!
	♥ 10:12am dave wuz here: i'll take a pound of the habibi and a half pound of the free latvia
	♥ 10:12am fred: @Toothgrinder Tom: Yeah, or "dear". My Lebanese friends tend to call everyone that
	♥ 10:12am Phillippe Bastille: Good morning
	10:14am Rick A.: You read my mind, Joe, in playing the Suzi Jane Hokom and Lee Hazlewood song. I have been listening to that song a lot, lately. It just seems appropriate in its moodly reflections on its own time. I am really impressed by the Vietnam references.
	♥ 10:14am Handy Haversack: Phillippe! Welcome to the sky-blue party.
	10:15am Joe McG: @Rick A: I agree, Rick, it's been speaking to me, too.
	♥ 10:15am Phillippe Bastille: Hey Handy! Did you have a good weekend?
	10:15am Earth Walker: Halal Habib
	♥ 10:16am Handy Haversack: It had its ups and downs, Phillippe. Made a new dish for the first time Sat., though (cacio e pepe). And got some good game playing in yesterday. So the ups were pretty nice. You?
	10:18am listener phillip 67 days in quarintine: not even one song by kraftwerk?
	10:18am testingwithfire: I really need to pay more attention to Smithsonian Folkways... some fabulous releases and curation going on over there.
	10:19am Jim the poet: I too like the habibi
	10:19am Listener Alexandra: Good morning, Joe!
	10:19am Joe McG: @listener phillip: I don't think so, not today. Maybe another day. But I won't say for sure, maybe I'll change my mind before the end of the show!
	10:20am Snoochienucci: we are all habibi
	♥ 10:20am Ken From Hyde Park: Add to the cavalcade of death internet-famous Double Rainbow Guy at age 57. RIP
	10:21am Snoochienucci: nooooooo Ken from Hyde park! Truly a legend that guy is
	10:22am Snoochienucci: i wonder if clay knew, sometimes he would play that guys voice sample!
	10:22am Joe McG: Hi, Alex!
	10:23am Listener Alexandra: Greetings from a new work week :)
	♥ 10:25am WoodsOfNH: @testingwithfire Yes. That and Dust To Digital. Both on Bandcamp. Dangerous.
	♥ 10:28am Crudbringer: we started this set in a low-key middle-eastern Tarantino noir... now we're in the mall. it's all fine by me.
	10:28am tim from Champaign (now washington): Hi Joe and everybody!
	10:28am ami ad: Seems like next Monday will be 40 years since Ian Curtis is gone.
	10:28am Joe McG: @amiad: Wow, hard to believe!
	10:28am Itzall Tumánnio: Hi Joe, hope you're having a good morning up there ^! This one by Anado is quite nice, thanks.
	10:32am βrian: Let's get strung out on Anadol.
	10:32am ami ad: @Joe McG:05.18.1980, 12 days before I appeared on this earth.Life is Life.
	♥ 10:32am Phillippe Bastille: @Handy @10:16 Mostly ok. My (adult) sons pretty much abdicated any role they may have on Mothers Day, which didn't please my bride, so there was that. We seemed to have added a pair of green herons and a red wing blackbird to the semi-regular bird crowd so that's cool
	♥ 10:33am Crudbringer: Ask your doctor if Anadol is right for you.
	♥ 10:33am Hughie Considine: Single File, a regular feature, helps keep me regular.
	10:34am testingwithfire: @Philippe green herons were always a treat to see when I lived in the NE US!
	10:34am Toothgrinder Tom: I hear ‘habibi’ in Arabic pop music as often as ‘corazon’ in Spanish-language music.
	10:36am Joe McG: @Hughie: Bulk fiber.
	10:36am morphe': "...Turkish Singer Ibrahaim Gokek died on hunger strike protest last week. His death follows that of fellow band member Helin Bolek on 3 April, and ally Mustafa Kocak, on 24 April.... Article below... https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/turkey-dissident-grup-yorum-ibrahim-gokcek-dies-hunger-strike
	10:37am Toothgrinder Tom: @Woods I hope I didn’t offend you with my Austin Powers joke, sometimes I forget in the daily sameness of quarantine that there are people punching the clock. No malice intended.
	10:37am ami ad: @morphe: R.I.P.
	10:37am lis-boner pasc: Absolute blinder of a show today! Nice one
	10:38am Joe McG: Thanks, lis-bp! I love the word "blinder" very much.
	♥ 10:38am Phillippe Bastille: @testingwithfire They are fun to watch. We live on a shallow cove and get all sorts of waders, diving ducks, and raptors who spend most of their time here, but this is the first time we've seen green herons in a pair and for multiple days. I hope they are nesting. Something is almost always around looking for some small fry to eat.
	10:39am Dennis Diken: Love Roy Hamilton! Bob Brainen collects versions of “Don’t Let Go”
	10:39am Snoochienucci: everytime i hear one of these songs that we cover at the local bars it makes me miss it that much more
	♥ 10:39am WoodsOfNH: @Toothgrinder None perceived! I knew what you were gettin' at. And I still want to end the day early and watch a movie. ;-)
	10:40am Joe McG: @Dennis: This is no joke: I think of Bob every time I hear that record! Miss you, Bob!
	10:42am TDK60: Good morning.
	10:42am Toothgrinder Tom: @Woods whew! Glad to hear it. (Thought there was a possibility your response was sarcastic.)
	♥ 10:43am Crudbringer: @morphe' <sigh>
	♥ 10:43am Handy Haversack: Love green heron! We get them around here, but not as common as black-crowned night heron or egrets (or even great blues).
	10:43am Snoochienucci: morning TDK!
	10:43am Toothgrinder Tom: @morphe’ what a heartbreaking story. He paid the ultimate price for his music.
	10:44am paul: Where is Bob Brainen these days?
	10:45am Dennis Diken: @Joe! ha, that’s great Joe! Great to hear “I’m Only Dreaming,” I was slated to sing this one (and play drums) at a Ronnie Lane trib in NYC on 4/1 that got cancelled, alas.
	10:45am seedfriend: OMG
	10:45am ?: wow this hushabye mountain!!! chills
	10:46am testingwithfire: @Philippe we have snipe here in southern Chile, no lie
	10:46am βrian: Just popped the earphones into 6-yr-old's ears. She started to get blinky.
	10:47am dano59: I never.cease to be amazed by eithet Steve Marriott or Bobbie Gentry. This could be a signature song of your show, Joe
	10:47am Joe McG: @dano59: I couldn't think of a better one.
	♥ 10:47am Phillippe Bastille: @testingwithfire ha! So that's where they are!
	10:48am testingwithfire: @Philippe lol
	10:48am zivilars: wow, this is a great Single File even for Joe-McG-standards ... love it!
	10:48am TDK60: A true nugget.
	10:48am paul: No word on Bob? He's still around, I hope.
	10:49am seedfriend: Joe’s single file is my ideal boyfriend
	10:49am Joe McG: @Dennis: I just got that Ronnie in Austin CD and it's great. I love Plonk.
	10:50am Rachel Bo Bachel: Up on the roof = so good! Thx Joe :)
	10:50am Joe McG: @seedfriend: Ha ha ha, it's like dating Frankenstein, all parts stuck together this way and that.
	♥ 10:50am queems: great show @joe mcg!
	10:51am Rachel Bo Bachel: Brian my 2 year old asked “is this a nighttime one?” during that song
	10:51am testingwithfire: @Joe so good to hear Little Richard, may he rest in power
	10:51am Jett: Hushabye Mountain is from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
	10:52am TDK60: Still have my R. Lane/P. Townshend duo LP, "Rough Mix." // RIP Little Richard!
	10:52am Snoochienucci: hell yeah billy joe shaver!
	10:53am Joe McG: Nice to see you, RBR, queems, twf! (I think it is a night time one!)
	10:53am testingwithfire: Ode From Billy Joe
	10:53am paul: OK, then.
	10:53am Jett: Great one! Black Rose. Always loved this one.
	♥ 10:53am ratso: I'm a fan of single file, and enjoying this monday groove this morning.
	10:53am seedfriend: @joe I’ll put seeking My Frankenstein on my tinder profile.
	10:54am Dennis Diken: Small Faces so totally rule, so totally
	♥ 10:56am David (in London): I'm back, with a large biscuit selection for everyone. Help yourselves.
	10:57am testingwithfire: @DIL any chocolate in the biscuit mountain?
	10:57am Dennis Diken: oh Joe, you’re killing it! “(Just Like) Romeo & Juliet”!!!! yeah, man! Funk Bros on this track, cut in Detroit, vocals done in Chicago
	10:57am Snoochienucci: just in time David! Hopefully there's some tea to help was em down?
	10:57am Snoochienucci: wash*
	10:57am waters7: Thank you, Joe! Am loving "Romeo and Juliet": sweet, silly, and syncopated!
	♥ 10:57am Brian in UK: @TDK60. Rough Mix is a little gem, just wonder where my copy is hiding.
	10:58am TDK60: Great drummin' on that Reflections.
	10:58am Valerie: First post... Dancing in the kitchen, REALLY digging today's playlist!
	♥ 10:58am Cal Zone!: Great set Joe!
	♥ 10:58am LastWhiteRhino: Oh my, it's the O'Jays.
	10:58am Snoochienucci: Thanks for another great show Joe! skipping out a bit early for a dreaded zoom call.. But i guess its a "work" week after all. See yall later!
	10:59am testingwithfire: welcome @Valerie!
	10:59am Joe McG: Welcome, Valerie! Thanks for saying hello. Thanks, Cal and Snoochie and waters7 and everyone listening this morning.
	♥ 11:00am David (in London): testingwithfire - For sure, dive in.
	♥ 11:00am David (in London): Also, hello TDK.
	11:00am testingwithfire: (gloms every single chocolate biscuit in the pile)
	♥ 11:00am Brian in UK: Home made Victoria sponge over here.
	11:01am P-90: Just as long as it’s groovin’, baby
	11:01am Valerie: Thank you @testingwithfire @Joe McG and everyone! Totally grooving here
	11:02am Toothgrinder Tom: I take it Johann Sebastian Bach doesn’t make the cut.
	11:03am TDK60: Hi Brian, David also.
	11:04am Toothgrinder Tom: Was Chitty Chitty Bang Bang written by Ian Fleming or Roald Dahl? Can’t remember which.
	11:04am Itzall Tumánnio: I loved seeing "Chitty-chitty-bang-bang" in the theater when I was a kid but then I also sat through (and loved) The Beatles' Yellow Submarine. Thanks, Dad!
	11:05am Marc Francis: I MISS BOB BRAINEN
	♥ 11:05am ParUbi: For a show called "Surface Noise," this is certainly the least abrasive show on FMU. And it really helps at this difficult time of the loss of my father. Good show, Joe!
	♥ 11:06am Devin B.: I miss Bob Brainen too.
	♥ 11:06am Brian in UK: Joe, I hear that someone(s) have paid the WFMU one and a half million reward for finding it. @Tom Fleming story, Dahl screenplay.
	11:06am P-90: @T.Tom: The original book was Fleming, the movie screenplay was Dahl. It was produced by EON Productions, who made and still make the Bond movies.
	♥ 11:06am Handy Haversack: So sorry to hear that, ParUbi. My deep sympathies. Always a pleasure to see you on the boards here. Hope there's some joy around here for you.
	11:07am ami ad: @ParUbi:Sorry to hear.Joe McG is great comfort,
	11:07am paul: Nick Lowe's Noise to Go.
	11:07am Toothgrinder Tom: @Brian and P-90 thank you
	11:07am P-90: New category: “Kind of A Dirtbag” songs
	11:08am Joe McG: @Paul: Was he in both or just Noise to Go? Memory fails.
	11:08am reel man: BRING BACK BOB BRAINEN! He was the best part of my Saturday morning. Apologies to the kid's show that replaced him, but I gotta change the dial!
	♥ 11:08am Brian in UK: ParUbi, so sad to hear your news.
	11:09am Toothgrinder Tom: @JoeMcG any covers of ‘Hey Joe’ on this week’s show?
	11:09am paul: Both. Actually pretty much the same band. I think.
	11:09am Marc Francis: @reel man: I agree. Our Saturdays haven't been the same since.
	♥ 11:09am WoodsOfNH: Dang, lovin' the guitar on this track.
	♥ 11:10am David (in London): ParUbi - Really sorry to hear that.
	♥ 11:10am Marley P. Dogg: Love this funky goodness
	11:10am Joe McG: @reel man and Marc: My understanding is that Bob isn't really interested in doing a show anymore for whatever reasons. I'm sure we'd love to have him on if he did. @Toothgrinder: No, mercifully!
	11:10am Joe McG: @ParUbu: I'm sorry to hear about your dad. I lost mine about 5 years ago and it's not easy at all.
	11:11am reel man: thanks for that Joe. I thought some nefarious ousting had occurred.
	11:12am Hoboken Jack: Hello Joe! We here in the Mike + the Mechanics Appreciation Society would like to lodge a formal complaint regarding their lack of mention amongst Mr. Carrack's projects.
	♥ 11:12am WoodsOfNH: @Joe McG @ParUbi I lost my dad 10 years ago. Definitely tough. Over time, the memories will morph from what feels like a stab in the ribs to something more like a gentle tap on the shoulder.
	11:12am Toothgrinder Tom: @ParUbi my condolences
	11:13am Joe McG: @Hoboken Jack: Ha ha, I forgot! @Woods: Agree. I occasionally still dream about him.
	11:13am testingwithfire: @ParUbi: virtual hugs or tea (or both). I'm so sorry.
	♥ 11:14am Brian in UK: Paul C was NOT in the Rutles.
	11:15am testingwithfire: Miriam Makeba's version of "Mbube" is killer BTW
	♥ 11:15am ParUbi: Thanks guys. He was asleep, and the love of his life was taking care of him. A good way to go, at 82.
	11:15am βrian: @ParUbi: I recall others here have done their own musical tributes at home, playing their father's favorite music. (Even if it was terrible.)
	♥ 11:16am WoodsOfNH: @Joe McG Did you play some Au Pairs earlier or did I just have another fever dream during the show?
	11:16am Joe McG: @Par Ubi: We should all be lucky enough to go so well.
	11:17am Andrea in JC: Hi, really enjoying this set, thanks Joe!
	♥ 11:18am pantz: Hair!
	♥ 11:18am Handy Haversack: Yeah, what Joe said , ParUbi. That's as great as we can hope for. My dad died, jeez, almost twenty-four years ago now, and I definitely still dream about him. Of course, now I'm also starting to LOOK like him ...
	11:18am testingwithfire: what a fantastic find ... @Joe please thank Bodega Gary for us too!
	11:19am P-90: Classic song by Galt MacDermott, who we lost just last year.
	11:19am P-90: Great arrangement too
	11:20am TDK60: Used to play this Full Stop in an old band of mine; gosh, we had so much fun with this!
	11:21am Itzall Tumánnio: Dumb question but-- is this the same band that would later become the ENGLISH Beat?
	11:22am paul: Same band. Had to be call the English Beat in the US, because there already was a band named The Beat.
	11:22am βrian: Is it odd that I love ska but reggae makes me slip into a state of torpor?
	11:23am paul: Like the Charlatans UK
	11:23am Itzall Tumánnio: That's a shame. I mean, has anyone (except their lawyer, I guess) ever even HEARD of the "US" Beat?
	11:24am testingwithfire: @Itzali maybe for like a month in 1980 ? They faded quickly though
	11:24am paul: They had one great album.
	11:24am waters7: don't know these "sacred paws" cool!
	11:25am paul: Then they were branded the Paul Collins Beat, just to confuse matters.
	11:25am Itzall Tumánnio: βrian, I "kind of" agree- there is SO little of what would be called "reggae" that I can listen to on a regular basis, but SKA never gets old to my ears. Thanks testingwithfire, I figured they must have flamed out pretty quickly after collecting a few checks from the REAL Beat!
	♥ 11:25am Rob W: Actually Paul Collins - of the US band The Beat - is quite an FMU favorite! By the way I love Sacred Paws, added to the short list of rock bands that have adapted African guitar music in fluid ways.
	♥ 11:25am Hughie Considine: Actually, @Itzall, Paul Colliins is pretty well loved on WFMU.
	♥ 11:26am listener 126464: heckz yeah
	♥ 11:26am Hughie Considine: Ditto the other Nirvana
	♥ 11:26am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe & all!
	11:27am Itzall Tumánnio: Maybe I've heard them and just didn't realize it? No offense to Mr. Collins intended, it (forcing the "other" Beat or as I like to call them, The Beat to change their name) just smacked of legal f#ckery.
	♥ 11:28am Carmichael: Heya Joe and hepcats.
	11:28am TDK60: Need to do some /wet/ laundry. To avoid crowds, have been doing a lot of hand laundering in buckets in my tub.
	♥ 11:28am Rob W: Has anyone on FMU ever done the Bands-By-The-Same-Name concept show or could this be a job for the great Joe McGasko? No pressure...
	11:28am carl from providence: thank you for the tunes from lil rhody
	11:28am testingwithfire: @Itzali the US Beat's label were probably the ones to insist on it, capitalist moneygrubbing dontcha know
	♥ 11:29am Carmichael: Thsi sounds a bit like That Woman's Got Me Drinking.
	11:29am paul: Itzall, give "Rock and Roll Girl" a listen.
	11:30am testingwithfire: @TDK60 I've become so used to doing hand laundry in my short-term rentals that I'll probably never go back to having a washer/dryer in the house
	♥ 11:30am Handy Haversack: Carm: I was waiting for you to appear! That guitar part. Seems like it had to have been a conscious echo, right?
	♥ 11:30am Hughie Considine: I saw Fetchin' Bones put on an electrifying show at Maxwell's. You can hear they were a volcanic act.
	♥ 11:30am Carmichael: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 .... 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 ....
	11:31am testingwithfire: this Fetchin Bones cut is fetching indeed
	♥ 11:31am Rob W: "Walking out on Love" by Paul Collins and, er, his band is a power pop gem and only requires a 1 minute 47 second investment of your time!
	11:32am TDK60: Is that the Rob W. DJ that plays that music from the Transpacific area?
	11:32am Joe McG: @twf/Hughie: I didn't play the cut I meant to play, but the whole album is good, so it doesn't matter. Hi, Rob!
	♥ 11:33am David (in London): Here in, er, England, they always just continued to be known as The Beat. When I heard people referring to 'The English Beat' it made me think there was another Beat. There was, I just didn't realise for a while that it was The Beat! Confused? I sure was.
	11:33am Itzall Tumánnio: Rob W, that just seem too long for me... haha.
	♥ 11:33am ParUbi: My father was a really musical guy. His last two days were filled with Bach and Mozart. Just sad I couldn't see him with this Covid thing, and that he left us so quickly (pancreatic c).
	♥ 11:33am Rob W: I apologize, I am posting a bit much for a staffer but yes it's me, hi TDK60 and Joe, Katie and I love the show as always!
	11:33am TDK60: My sympathy, ParUbi.
	♥ 11:34am Rob W: Ah, sorry ParUbi.
	11:34am morphe': Sorry Parubi....
	11:34am TDK60: Rob, are the DJs supposed to keep a low comments board profile?
	11:34am Joe McG: Thanks, Rob. I find myself posting more, too. Never used to at all. Miss contact!
	♥ 11:35am Phillippe Bastille: @ParUbi Sorry to hear about your dad, my friend
	11:35am Joe B: "I am posting a bit much for a staffer" what are the accepted limits?
	♥ 11:36am David (in London): Hey Phillippe. Presumably Staysh puts over-commenting DJs on the Naughty Step?
	♥ 11:37am ParUbi: Thanks, and I don't want to make the heavy state of the world heavier. Last observation: grief is surreal
	♥ 11:37am Carmichael: Thanks again Joe for the swag heads up. I had no idea I had that much crap .. er, stuff coming to me!
	11:37am Joe McG: @Joe B.: No more than 50 posts per show.
	♥ 11:38am Brian in UK: @Rob W. Fools Gold had a stab at an African/Tinawaren kind of sound and sung in Hebrew.
	♥ 11:38am Handy Haversack: You owe us 49 posts, Joe B!
	11:38am P-90: Strings, harp, AND electric sitar + tons of echo = lush
	11:39am TDK60: I don't see why it would matter, DJs chiming in. // Rob. W> I heard that Bo Diddley had an African thing in his beat.
	♥ 11:40am Mike Sin: This Monophonics release just doesn't let up... so good.
	♥ 11:40am Matt Fiveash: Joe your show is especially hitting the spot today. Will refrain from trying to fit my allotted 50 posts into the last 20 minutes of the program...
	♥ 11:40am Davis: wow. this is new?
	11:40am Itzall Tumánnio: ParUbi, sorry to hear of your loss and yes, grief does seem surreal. My dad passed on Christmas (yes, just a few months ago) and I can tell you that grief is just part of every day now. Some good, some not so good but it will always be here now. I think I meant that to be useful, hope it doesn't sound like a downer. Just the way it is for me and, I think most people.
	♥ 11:41am Handy Haversack: Every day, I check the hall for swag, heart in throat! No idea what I will look forward to once it arrives! (David, I had left the card table up after date night dinner and then Sunday gaming, hoping it might be too great a logistical challenge for exercise time, but Kate seems to be solving it. Looks like halberd training is back on!)
	♥ 11:41am Davis: that was a lovely track---monophonics
	11:41am Joe McG: Hi, WFMU DJs! I miss you all.
	11:42am Michael Shelley: Fetchin Bones - an lp I know I have somewhere in my house - but haven't laid hands on in years... thanks Joe for the jolt!
	♥ 11:42am Handy Haversack: Just clouded up again over Brooklyn for this song. Do it, Matt Fiveash -- there's plenty of time!
	♥ 11:42am David (in London): Handy - The Runzas will award you a special patch for your dedication.
	♥ 11:43am Brian in UK: Is this an FMU team meeting (virtually)
	11:44am Joe McG: Sure, Michael! Sorry I didn't get to Juniper yet -- I planned to. Hopefully before the end!
	11:44am TDK60: Joe, you unleashed this Joan A. song at this time? Thank you.
	11:44am Cagey: RIP Betty Wright. The Cleanup Woman!
	♥ 11:45am Rob W: Let's go with Joe McG's staff posting guidelines Joe B! And yes Brian, Fool's Gold, spot on! That's another band that effectively worked the African guitar angle. Actually way back in 1982 Weekend in the UK (spinoff of Young Marble Giants) did some nice stuff along those lines on the album La Varieté. Much more recently in the US Vampire Weekend of course got pretty big with some African guitar music influence. Needless to say, I have a list. Anyway Brian I have to leave the FMU team meeting now to get on my exercycle!
	11:45am prudy: Joe, great show...don't tell me Joan died?
	11:45am Michael Shelley: There's never enough time! (no sweat)
	11:45am βrian: I've always thought that was one of the most brilliant opening lines. That Joan!
	11:45am Roberto: I really wore out my cassette of Track Record from about '87-'89.
	11:45am Joe B: was fortunate enough to catch betty at the Ponderosa stomp. impressive
	♥ 11:45am David (in London): I think everyone should junk Zoom and have all their meetings on the FMU Accu. It would be an elegant chaos.
	11:46am P-90: “staffer”? The legendary Rob W calls himself a mere “staffer”? I notice many DJs are posting more frequently, it seems a logical consequence of the Crisis. Feels like another small part of the process of a community that I’ve seen pulling together during a tough time for everyone.
	11:46am Joe McG: Hey, Michael, here's the sax solo you would cut out!
	♥ 11:48am Ken From Hyde Park: Uncle Michael had streaming video from his studio last Friday. That was fun to watch. Marty McSorley occasionally posts photos from his studio.
	11:48am Joe B: P-90 - well back in the old world the majority of my FMU listening was done on the car radio. Now, nowhere to go, listening at home. always wanted to post more but usually not able to
	♥ 11:48am Hughie Considine: This is where the SNL sax sound came from...
	11:48am Davido: @P-90 I'm a recent addition to the community here and I can vouch for it being a great source of connection so far. Love the music and the personalities.
	11:49am P-90: Is UM’s video stream archived? I’d love to see it.
	♥ 11:49am Jeff Golick: Wassup. Great show, Joe. (1/50)
	♥ 11:49am Handy Haversack: Since I'm going to be too out of breath in five minutes to say it -- thanks, Joe! Great show today! Really wonderful Monday going so far on WFMU -- and more Joe to come! Be cool, everyone!
	♥ 11:50am jinjabredboy: double Hazlewood helping - yay! - great show
	11:50am Michael Shelley: Ha!
	♥ 11:50am efd: I'm saving my posts so I can post 99 times during Joe B's show. (No offense, Joe McG.)
	♥ 11:50am Yes: this is a sweet one
	11:50am Joe McG: Ha ha, hi Jeff G! None taken, efd!
	♥ 11:51am Brian in UK: Joe. Great show as ever. Stay safe everyone and all.
	♥ 11:52am Ken From Hyde Park: @P-90 - Video is not archived, evidently. I see just the regular playlist archive.
	♥ 11:52am Jeff Golick: (@P-90, re UM's video stream, I do not think he is archiving those.)
	11:53am Toothgrinder Tom: Joan Armatrading’s music has aged well, if that earlier track is any indication. I think I had a couple of her cassettes in high school.
	♥ 11:53am nortonjutland: great show Joe; i repeat myself.
	♥ 11:53am Brian in UK: @P-90, live only I think, you do get the cat wandering around in the background though.
	♥ 11:53am Lizardner Dave 2: Thanks Joe!
	♥ 11:53am Baja Joe: Tom Waits for everyone
	11:54am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting today, everybody. It was a pleasure to be with you, as always. Thanks for the company and I'll see you next time.
	11:54am βrian: Irene coming up on the Drummer stream, if that interests you: wfmu.org...
	11:54am TDK60: Rob W. I'd like to see that list sometime, but you may not see my request there on the exercise machine. Will try to remember to ask you Sat. night during you smash hits show.
	♥ 11:54am David (in London): Such a great show today Joe. Luckily, this being Monday, we can engage the Joe to Joe Continuum, and let the fun carry on.
	11:54am ami ad: 'till next time.
	♥ 11:55am listener 126464: Thank you Joe!
	♥ 11:55am 12539: Thank you, Joe!
	11:55am TDK60: Thanks so much Joe, you have great tastes in music, smells too.
	11:55am morphe': Thanks Joe and all...
	11:56am Sky Blue Scott: Great show!
	♥ 11:56am WO Town Wick: Warm glowing show today. Thanks Joe.

One of the musical bright spots of 2020 was the emergence of Brighton trio Sairie, who updated English folk styles to beguiling effect on their two EPs, "Scarlet and Blue" and "The Trembling Earth." Heavily featured on Surface Noise, the band has kindly recorded an exclusive live session for the show while in lockdown. We'll hear that session on today's program, as well as chat with band members Emma Morton and Jon Griffin about their music.

	♥ 9:04am LastWhiteRhino: Good Morning Joe and WFMU friends.
	♥ 9:04am Krys O.: Greetings!
	♥ 9:04am karlward: Wait... there's more than one Eno?
	♥ 9:04am karlward: Geez save some critical acclaim for the rest of us.
	♥ 9:04am David (in London): Hey testing - It goes OK, thanks, struggling to get focus after a long weekend, but otherwise all good. Handy - Good my brother. How was the wearing of the Woolworth hippy wig?
	♥ 9:05am LastWhiteRhino: Uno mas Eno.
	♥ 9:05am Baja Joe: Mornin' Joe.
	♥ 9:06am Asheville Jon: Thank You Joe for everything you do!
	9:06am duke: Hello Joe
	♥ 9:06am WoodsOfNH: I have less boing going on this morning.
	♥ 9:06am Hughie Considine: Brian and Roger didn't have the same kind of sibling rivalry as the Davies brothers or the Gallaghers. Although I heard they once got into a bit of a row about the setting on a synthesizer.
	♥ 9:07am Handy Haversack: @David: Glorious. It had been too long. I'll have to do it again and take notes to get ready for our (American) football pool -- assuming the NFL plays this year, which, what do I know?
	9:07am Snoochienucci: i missed my "yip mark" but i am here
	9:08am Joe McG: Good morning, radio friends! A gentle start today.
	♥ 9:08am Krys O.: Perfect selections, Joe.
	♥ 9:08am Hughie Considine: "Roger, Brian, put down that Moog and come in for dinner!"
	♥ 9:08am David (in London): Handy - As soon as the lockdown is over and my son comes over again, we're having a watch at our end too! I'll keep you posted. Snoochie - Yipping glad you're here. Hello!
	9:08am djsheilab: What a magnificent beginning to your show! So serene, elegant, and melodic, and just in time for the rain.
	♥ 9:09am David (in London): Hughie - Ma Eno, not to be messed with.
	9:09am Deborah: Even Clyde The Kitty is meditative this morning. Thanks. Perfect to watch heavy rain, hail and think about functioning.
	9:09am Bill from RockTavern: It's scary (in a good way)how quick Monday morning rolls around and it's time for another Surface Noise❤️
	♥ 9:09am Hughie Considine: She raised her boys proper, @David
	9:10am DRATSUM: This feels like dying.
	♥ 9:10am Baja Joe: Oh this Haigh is lovely
	♥ 9:10am Threemoons: Good morning Joe McG, fellow YipYips
	9:11am Snoochienucci: @DIL im yipping ecstatic

	9:12am Joe McG: @sheilab: Ah, yes, and here comes some water now....
	♥ 9:12am Corey: Morning Joe and everyone. Lovely start to the show.
	♥ 9:13am David (in London): Hi Melinda.
	♥ 9:13am Aaron Working In Newark: Good Morning Joe and everyone!
	9:15am Toothgrinder Tom: I’m hoping they will get baseball going perhaps playing games without fans in the stands; that’s what they’re doing in South Korea and Taiwan.
	♥ 9:15am Webhamster Henry: Birdsongs FTW!
	♥ 9:15am p20: I've been wanting to hear the new Rog and Bri record, thanks for playing it Joe!
	9:16am DJ Guin: @ToothGTome -- looks like MLB might commence on July 1 for games. Football is too far in the future to worry about.
	♥ 9:17am p20: Yes I just called Brian Eno "Bri", it's OK, he's cool with it, we're tight like that :)
	9:17am JOYofit: thankyou
	♥ 9:17am Handy Haversack: Hey, Snoochie!
	♥ 9:17am WoodsOfNH: I have my doubts that any of the sports stuff will actually commence this year. The open early crowd are going to force the numbers back up. I really hope I'm wrong about that but still...
	♥ 9:18am p20: Football is a contact sport. I think we should start with non-contact sports. Like free-throw competitions. (Never liked fooball anyway, the brutality and brain injuries are a turn off)
	9:19am Toothgrinder Tom: @DJGuin great news!
	♥ 9:19am David (in London): Hello T.Tom and p20.
	9:19am Snoochienucci: Hello Mr Handy!
	9:20am Jesse Dorris: Really loving the show today, Joe!
	9:20am Toothgrinder Tom: Football can look after itself, it’s a big boy.
	♥ 9:20am TristaC.LadyCaveBrat: This Blue is the Color reminds me of the band Yume Bitsu a bit.
	9:20am Toothgrinder Tom: @DiL greetings, my friend!
	♥ 9:21am David (in London): p20 - I appeared in documentary about Fela Kuti once, and they cut me in next to Eno such that the miracle of the edit made it look like we were in some way connected.
	9:21am Joe McG: @Jesse: We're slowly warming up, emerging from the surf, walking up onto the beach....
	♥ 9:22am p20: @D(iL): I love that story! I'd probably print out a screen-grab and frame it.
	9:22am DJ Guin: @p20 -- I am in agreement. Same reason I cannot watch boxing. Football I will follow, but I do not bet nore really give a shit about the self aggrandizing of players, i.e. OBJ et.al. MLB has become more about dingers and 100+ mph pitches than strategy.
	9:23am Joe McG: @Trista: I don't know Yume Bitsu, you'll have to fill me in! :)
	♥ 9:23am steveo: good morning; digging the vibe
	9:23am DJ Guin: @DIL -- so you and Eno are tight, eh? lol
	9:23am morphe': Making me think of a song; woman sings "...didnt have to____>>>>>?????" Super sweet song... Any guesses???
	9:24am Toothgrinder Tom: @p20 maybe launch a professional ultimate frisbee league and work up from there. Outdoor lawn curling would be another good one.
	♥ 9:27am Webhamster Henry: Non-touch football! Someone picks it up and throws it, everyone else runs away.
	♥ 9:27am Brian in UK: Hey Joe.. Fans of the brothers Eno might care to look here. www.mixing-colours.com
	♥ 9:28am David (in London): p20 - If you search for 'Afrobeat Rebellion' on YouTube you can see it for yourself. It's just the short trailer version, but it's still quite fun.
	♥ 9:28am David (in London): Greetings morphester and Brian.
	♥ 9:29am p20: @TT: Pro Ultimate Frisbee could be pretty cool. When I was in college there was a requirement to participate in a sport. And I am not really a sports guy, even less so when I was a skinny college student. But at least Ultimate was one of the options, and I discovered that I really liked it.
	9:29am Deborah: Love the music, still.
	9:30am Toothgrinder Tom: @Webhamster Henry or just play the kicking aspect of the game - everything is a field goal.
	9:31am MeMo BoingBoing: Ah! I've heard Kate on NPR before! Gorgeous stuff.
	9:31am Toothgrinder Tom: @p20 yes, I understand it’s quite popular. It was quidditch before quidditch.
	♥ 9:32am Krys O.: Saw Kate Tempest in Brooklyn years ago. Such a riveting performance.
	♥ 9:32am the nOggin: Kate Tempest rules! I am diggin the set, Joe!
	9:32am ZeeBee: Giving me shivers.
	9:32am Jeezuseffinchrist: oh boy, we're starting monday virtual staff meeting and I can tell something is up. My boss is waaaay too cheerily greeting everyone as they pop in, and it sounds like she's choking back emotion..... this is unusual :/
	9:32am βrian: We awoke to freezing weather here on day 56. I hope the tomatoes made it.
	9:32am MeMo BoingBoing: @krys I don't know if I could handle it live. I'd be blubbering lol
	♥ 9:32am Webhamster Henry: @Toothgrinder Tom You mean "Footbol" "Footy" or as the Americans call it - "Soccor". Just get rid of the goalie.
	9:33am Jeezuseffinchrist: my plants are suffering too @brian
	♥ 9:34am Brian in UK: David, staying cool? There was a threat of frost last night but it was not to be.
	9:35am Marc Francis: Once again Joe McGasko is playing EXACTLY what I didn't know I needed to hear. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
	♥ 9:35am Brian in UK: Reminds me a little of Mike Skinner.
	♥ 9:35am WoodsOfNH: Dunno about everybody else but on a lot of days I have a hard time concentrating on work. Strangely, I _can_ concentrate on painting: imgur.com...
	9:35am testingwithfire (she / they): @Jeezuseffinchrist sending good vibes...
	9:35am Jeezuseffinchrist: @testingwithfire thanks <3
	9:36am Joe McG: @Woods: Yes, keep creating!
	♥ 9:36am David (in London): Brian - Brrrr. No lunch out in the garden today sadly. Woods - It's not just you. I've been REALLY struggling to get focus today.
	9:36am pellegrino.steve: looper!!
	♥ 9:36am Krys O.: @Memo Boing Boing-Tears were shed, indeed.
	♥ 9:37am b!!!: This is a wonderful set.
	♥ 9:37am p20: Tennis is a good non-contact sport. Tennis, anyone?
	9:37am Snoochienucci: @Woods @DIL totally agree about the concentration thing. 2 weeks ago it was really bad for me. Last week was a little better. For me it seems to be a weekly mood is set and then follows me until the next monday. This week seems a little more focused so far, but well see. and sweet painting woods!
	9:38am Deborah: @ WoodsOfNH: Same with me. Teaching college courses online due to pandemic and papers need to be graded, students need attention (way too much) and I am not my usual prompt self. In a complete mindset of "oh well." Some creative urges but not yet. I write.
	9:39am morphe': Got the song tweeked by the Steve Hiett instumental earlier = Sade - By YOUR SIDE... - not a request just a memory...
	♥ 9:40am WoodsOfNH: @Joe McG Yes! I intend to. By the way, that one is called Fever Dream 2019/2020. Will start another this afternoon.
	9:42am testingwithfire (she / they): @WoodsOfNH @Deborah @Snoochienucci For me concentration is linked to motivation, and sometimes the motivation simply ain't there, like early last week. I got a new client late last week and acquired another special project, so motivation came back (thankfully).
	♥ 9:43am Handy Haversack: Dig the painting, @Woods! I guess I'm concentrating OK on work. Seems like a distraction from all the OTHER stuff. I'm kind of staying on top of game prep, too, which is my main creative channel.
	♥ 9:44am Hughie Considine: We have achieved lift-off!
	♥ 9:44am David (in London): Off for an exciting trip to the shop now. Back soon with treats for everyone.
	♥ 9:45am TIMPANDA: What's poppin Joe? Thanks for the chill morning tunes today
	9:46am Toothgrinder Tom: @Webhamster Henry I should have clarified I meant football americano. Soccer might work if they stuck to passing the ball. There’s already a kind of social distancing aspect to soccer.
	♥ 9:46am p20: Thanks for the Diamond Head!
	9:46am P-90: Really like that Manzanera track.
	9:46am wizard frog: Does this sound like Pink Floyd ish?
	♥ 9:46am Handy Haversack: Looking forward to lemon curd, David!
	9:47am Snoochienucci: @testingwithfire i totally agree about the motivation aspect, thats a great point
	♥ 9:47am p20: If this were a Pink Floyd song, I think it might be my favorite of theirs.
	♥ 9:47am WoodsOfNH: @Handy Thanks! Now I've gotta go looking for my lost motivation...
	9:48am Toothgrinder Tom: @WoodsofNH perhaps Austin Powers could lend a hand?
	9:48am MeMo BoingBoing: @Joe you're killing me softly with these songs
	9:49am Toothgrinder Tom: Gotta crank up the Hardy ...
	♥ 9:50am Hughie Considine: How sublime this is....
	9:50am Joe McG: @MeMo: I can't seem to stop playing records...but I'll come on mic soon. I have to!
	9:50am Brendan: Magical morning to you Joe and all. Great first set.
	♥ 9:50am WoodsOfNH: @Toothgrinder Yes. I should quit work for the day, crack open a beer, and watch Austin Powers. Brilliant!!! ;-)
	9:51am Toothgrinder Tom: @Woods particularly the one where he’s on a quest to get his mojo back (can’t remember which one that was).
	♥ 9:52am p20: "Diamond Head" is an underrated gem. My good buddy Brian Eno sings "Big Day" on there (which I always like to hear)
	9:52am Toothgrinder Tom: Is ‘Bowm Bowm Bowm’ on a particular album of hers?
	9:53am Earth Walker: P20 we used to play touch football in the streets of Brooklyn sewer to sewer Tackle in the park Thin helmets got a concussion once That explains it
	9:53am Toothgrinder Tom: Brian Eno and I used to exchange dresses.
	♥ 9:54am Brian in UK: Do you know who I am?
	♥ 9:55am p20: Hey Bri! How's it hangin?
	9:55am Earth Walker: Deborah. My Bro teaches in Boston from home He says it pays more
	♥ 9:56am Handy Haversack: There's that voice! Smooth Joe McG!
	9:57am MeMo BoingBoing: This playlist is your credentials.
	9:57am Deborah: These classes were physical but the college closed its physical plant. I am trying to get more online classes from other colleges. Same measly community college adjunct pay whether online or in person where I teach.
	9:57am Toothgrinder Tom: Station ID.
	9:57am egould310: You were on a roll. Screw the FCC, do your thing. Greetings from Seattle. :-)
	9:57am Earth Walker: Hey DJ dude thanks for the musical journey
	9:58am Earth Walker: Hi Handy. How’s it going
	9:58am βrian: From what I hear, there's also an East Ahrange nearby.
	9:58am Roberto: Except military dog tags include religious affiliation (or they used to anyway).
	♥ 9:58am Handy Haversack: Calvin Rutstrum's route-finding book talks about how to orient yourself in the wilderness by radio call signs and signal -- they are important for trekkers!
	♥ 9:58am Brian in UK: There is only one thing that is lost: the truth.
	9:59am Cp304: This is nice medley
	9:59am Earth Walker: Hey Joe where ya going with that voice in the mike
	♥ 10:01am melinda: I really liked the Suzi Jane.
	♥ 10:05am pantz: "One More Kiss" is my favorite song off of that Blade Runner soundtrack. It would've fit right in to your crooner set a couple weeks ago.
	♥ 10:06am WoodsOfNH: Is it Felder time yet? (* Shoot...wrong day *)
	♥ 10:07am p20: will watch music videos if they are arty enough
	10:08am Jim the poet: cavalcade of death is the new name of my band
	10:08am Toothgrinder Tom: I like ‘Rachel’s Song’ from the Bladerunner soundtrack.
	10:09am MeMo BoingBoing: @Joe It was Valentine's Day!
	♥ 10:09am WoodsOfNH: Habibi. I think it was two weeks from now.
	10:09am MeMo BoingBoing: Habibi is the best
	♥ 10:09am Handy Haversack: Yeah, Valentines Day! Saw them at Market Hotel in BK the next night!
	10:09am Toothgrinder Tom: Habibi = darling, no?
	10:09am Snoochienucci: this one gets stuck in your head all day
	♥ 10:10am ifeelfatnsassy: I bought this album while they were on the air with Sheila. Zero regrets. The whole album is great.
	♥ 10:10am Handy Haversack: @TTom: Yup.
	10:10am Joe McG: @ToothTom: Yes, I believe so. They really were darling people.
	10:10am MeMo BoingBoing: @Tom right. Or like "sweetheart"
	10:10am Snoochienucci: think so toothgrinder but im no expert
	10:10am βrian: Habib'ti is the best, too.

	♥ 10:12am fred: @Toothgrinder Tom: Yeah, or "dear". My Lebanese friends tend to call everyone that
	♥ 10:12am Phillippe Bastille: Good morning
	10:14am Rick A.: You read my mind, Joe, in playing the Suzi Jane Hokom and Lee Hazlewood song. I have been listening to that song a lot, lately. It just seems appropriate in its moodly reflections on its own time. I am really impressed by the Vietnam references.
	♥ 10:14am Handy Haversack: Phillippe! Welcome to the sky-blue party.
	10:15am Joe McG: @Rick A: I agree, Rick, it's been speaking to me, too.
	♥ 10:15am Phillippe Bastille: Hey Handy! Did you have a good weekend?
	10:15am Earth Walker: Halal Habib
	♥ 10:16am Handy Haversack: It had its ups and downs, Phillippe. Made a new dish for the first time Sat., though (cacio e pepe). And got some good game playing in yesterday. So the ups were pretty nice. You?
	10:18am listener phillip 67 days in quarintine: not even one song by kraftwerk?
	10:18am testingwithfire: I really need to pay more attention to Smithsonian Folkways... some fabulous releases and curation going on over there.
	10:19am Jim the poet: I too like the habibi
	10:19am Listener Alexandra: Good morning, Joe!
	10:19am Joe McG: @listener phillip: I don't think so, not today. Maybe another day. But I won't say for sure, maybe I'll change my mind before the end of the show!
	10:20am Snoochienucci: we are all habibi
	♥ 10:20am Ken From Hyde Park: Add to the cavalcade of death internet-famous Double Rainbow Guy at age 57. RIP

	10:28am tim from Champaign (now washington): Hi Joe and everybody!
	10:28am ami ad: Seems like next Monday will be 40 years since Ian Curtis is gone.
	10:28am Joe McG: @amiad: Wow, hard to believe!
	10:28am Itzall Tumánnio: Hi Joe, hope you're having a good morning up there ^! This one by Anado is quite nice, thanks.
	10:32am βrian: Let's get strung out on Anadol.
	10:32am ami ad: @Joe McG:05.18.1980, 12 days before I appeared on this earth.Life is Life.
	♥ 10:32am Phillippe Bastille: @Handy @10:16 Mostly ok. My (adult) sons pretty much abdicated any role they may have on Mothers Day, which didn't please my bride, so there was that. We seemed to have added a pair of green herons and a red wing blackbird to the semi-regular bird crowd so that's cool
	♥ 10:33am Crudbringer: Ask your doctor if Anadol is right for you.
	♥ 10:33am Hughie Considine: Single File, a regular feature, helps keep me regular.
	10:34am testingwithfire: @Philippe green herons were always a treat to see when I lived in the NE US!
	10:34am Toothgrinder Tom: I hear ‘habibi’ in Arabic pop music as often as ‘corazon’ in Spanish-language music.
	10:36am Joe McG: @Hughie: Bulk fiber.

	10:37am lis-boner pasc: Absolute blinder of a show today! Nice one
	10:38am Joe McG: Thanks, lis-bp! I love the word "blinder" very much.
	♥ 10:38am Phillippe Bastille: @testingwithfire They are fun to watch. We live on a shallow cove and get all sorts of waders, diving ducks, and raptors who spend most of their time here, but this is the first time we've seen green herons in a pair and for multiple days. I hope they are nesting. Something is almost always around looking for some small fry to eat.
	10:39am Dennis Diken: Love Roy Hamilton! Bob Brainen collects versions of “Don’t Let Go”
	10:39am Snoochienucci: everytime i hear one of these songs that we cover at the local bars it makes me miss it that much more

	10:44am paul: Where is Bob Brainen these days?
	10:45am Dennis Diken: @Joe! ha, that’s great Joe! Great to hear “I’m Only Dreaming,” I was slated to sing this one (and play drums) at a Ronnie Lane trib in NYC on 4/1 that got cancelled, alas.

	11:01am Valerie: Thank you @testingwithfire @Joe McG and everyone! Totally grooving here
	11:02am Toothgrinder Tom: I take it Johann Sebastian Bach doesn’t make the cut.
	11:03am TDK60: Hi Brian, David also.
	11:04am Toothgrinder Tom: Was Chitty Chitty Bang Bang written by Ian Fleming or Roald Dahl? Can’t remember which.
	11:04am Itzall Tumánnio: I loved seeing "Chitty-chitty-bang-bang" in the theater when I was a kid but then I also sat through (and loved) The Beatles' Yellow Submarine. Thanks, Dad!
	11:05am Marc Francis: I MISS BOB BRAINEN
	♥ 11:05am ParUbi: For a show called "Surface Noise," this is certainly the least abrasive show on FMU. And it really helps at this difficult time of the loss of my father. Good show, Joe!
	♥ 11:06am Devin B.: I miss Bob Brainen too.
	♥ 11:06am Brian in UK: Joe, I hear that someone(s) have paid the WFMU one and a half million reward for finding it. @Tom Fleming story, Dahl screenplay.
	11:06am P-90: @T.Tom: The original book was Fleming, the movie screenplay was Dahl. It was produced by EON Productions, who made and still make the Bond movies.
	♥ 11:06am Handy Haversack: So sorry to hear that, ParUbi. My deep sympathies. Always a pleasure to see you on the boards here. Hope there's some joy around here for you.
	11:07am ami ad: @ParUbi:Sorry to hear.Joe McG is great comfort,
	11:07am paul: Nick Lowe's Noise to Go.
	11:07am Toothgrinder Tom: @Brian and P-90 thank you
	11:07am P-90: New category: “Kind of A Dirtbag” songs
	11:08am Joe McG: @Paul: Was he in both or just Noise to Go? Memory fails.
	11:08am reel man: BRING BACK BOB BRAINEN! He was the best part of my Saturday morning. Apologies to the kid's show that replaced him, but I gotta change the dial!
	♥ 11:08am Brian in UK: ParUbi, so sad to hear your news.
	11:09am Toothgrinder Tom: @JoeMcG any covers of ‘Hey Joe’ on this week’s show?
	11:09am paul: Both. Actually pretty much the same band. I think.
	11:09am Marc Francis: @reel man: I agree. Our Saturdays haven't been the same since.
	♥ 11:09am WoodsOfNH: Dang, lovin' the guitar on this track.
	♥ 11:10am David (in London): ParUbi - Really sorry to hear that.
	♥ 11:10am Marley P. Dogg: Love this funky goodness
	11:10am Joe McG: @reel man and Marc: My understanding is that Bob isn't really interested in doing a show anymore for whatever reasons. I'm sure we'd love to have him on if he did. @Toothgrinder: No, mercifully!
	11:10am Joe McG: @ParUbu: I'm sorry to hear about your dad. I lost mine about 5 years ago and it's not easy at all.
	11:11am reel man: thanks for that Joe. I thought some nefarious ousting had occurred.
	11:12am Hoboken Jack: Hello Joe! We here in the Mike + the Mechanics Appreciation Society would like to lodge a formal complaint regarding their lack of mention amongst Mr. Carrack's projects.
	♥ 11:12am WoodsOfNH: @Joe McG @ParUbi I lost my dad 10 years ago. Definitely tough. Over time, the memories will morph from what feels like a stab in the ribs to something more like a gentle tap on the shoulder.
	11:12am Toothgrinder Tom: @ParUbi my condolences
	11:13am Joe McG: @Hoboken Jack: Ha ha, I forgot! @Woods: Agree. I occasionally still dream about him.
	11:13am testingwithfire: @ParUbi: virtual hugs or tea (or both). I'm so sorry.
	♥ 11:14am Brian in UK: Paul C was NOT in the Rutles.
	11:15am testingwithfire: Miriam Makeba's version of "Mbube" is killer BTW
	♥ 11:15am ParUbi: Thanks guys. He was asleep, and the love of his life was taking care of him. A good way to go, at 82.
	11:15am βrian: @ParUbi: I recall others here have done their own musical tributes at home, playing their father's favorite music. (Even if it was terrible.)
	♥ 11:16am WoodsOfNH: @Joe McG Did you play some Au Pairs earlier or did I just have another fever dream during the show?
	11:16am Joe McG: @Par Ubi: We should all be lucky enough to go so well.
	11:17am Andrea in JC: Hi, really enjoying this set, thanks Joe!
	♥ 11:18am pantz: Hair!
	♥ 11:18am Handy Haversack: Yeah, what Joe said , ParUbi. That's as great as we can hope for. My dad died, jeez, almost twenty-four years ago now, and I definitely still dream about him. Of course, now I'm also starting to LOOK like him ...
	11:18am testingwithfire: what a fantastic find ... @Joe please thank Bodega Gary for us too!
	11:19am P-90: Classic song by Galt MacDermott, who we lost just last year.
	11:19am P-90: Great arrangement too
	11:20am TDK60: Used to play this Full Stop in an old band of mine; gosh, we had so much fun with this!
	11:21am Itzall Tumánnio: Dumb question but-- is this the same band that would later become the ENGLISH Beat?
	11:22am paul: Same band. Had to be call the English Beat in the US, because there already was a band named The Beat.
	11:22am βrian: Is it odd that I love ska but reggae makes me slip into a state of torpor?
	11:23am paul: Like the Charlatans UK
	11:23am Itzall Tumánnio: That's a shame. I mean, has anyone (except their lawyer, I guess) ever even HEARD of the "US" Beat?
	11:24am testingwithfire: @Itzali maybe for like a month in 1980 ? They faded quickly though
	11:24am paul: They had one great album.
	11:24am waters7: don't know these "sacred paws" cool!
	11:25am paul: Then they were branded the Paul Collins Beat, just to confuse matters.
	11:25am Itzall Tumánnio: βrian, I "kind of" agree- there is SO little of what would be called "reggae" that I can listen to on a regular basis, but SKA never gets old to my ears. Thanks testingwithfire, I figured they must have flamed out pretty quickly after collecting a few checks from the REAL Beat!
	♥ 11:25am Rob W: Actually Paul Collins - of the US band The Beat - is quite an FMU favorite! By the way I love Sacred Paws, added to the short list of rock bands that have adapted African guitar music in fluid ways.
	♥ 11:25am Hughie Considine: Actually, @Itzall, Paul Colliins is pretty well loved on WFMU.
	♥ 11:26am listener 126464: heckz yeah
	♥ 11:26am Hughie Considine: Ditto the other Nirvana
	♥ 11:26am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe & all!
	11:27am Itzall Tumánnio: Maybe I've heard them and just didn't realize it? No offense to Mr. Collins intended, it (forcing the "other" Beat or as I like to call them, The Beat to change their name) just smacked of legal f#ckery.
	♥ 11:28am Carmichael: Heya Joe and hepcats.
	11:28am TDK60: Need to do some /wet/ laundry. To avoid crowds, have been doing a lot of hand laundering in buckets in my tub.
	♥ 11:28am Rob W: Has anyone on FMU ever done the Bands-By-The-Same-Name concept show or could this be a job for the great Joe McGasko? No pressure...
	11:28am carl from providence: thank you for the tunes from lil rhody
	11:28am testingwithfire: @Itzali the US Beat's label were probably the ones to insist on it, capitalist moneygrubbing dontcha know
	♥ 11:29am Carmichael: Thsi sounds a bit like That Woman's Got Me Drinking.
	11:29am paul: Itzall, give "Rock and Roll Girl" a listen.
	11:30am testingwithfire: @TDK60 I've become so used to doing hand laundry in my short-term rentals that I'll probably never go back to having a washer/dryer in the house
	♥ 11:30am Handy Haversack: Carm: I was waiting for you to appear! That guitar part. Seems like it had to have been a conscious echo, right?
	♥ 11:30am Hughie Considine: I saw Fetchin' Bones put on an electrifying show at Maxwell's. You can hear they were a volcanic act.
	♥ 11:30am Carmichael: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 .... 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 ....
	11:31am testingwithfire: this Fetchin Bones cut is fetching indeed
	♥ 11:31am Rob W: "Walking out on Love" by Paul Collins and, er, his band is a power pop gem and only requires a 1 minute 47 second investment of your time!
	11:32am TDK60: Is that the Rob W. DJ that plays that music from the Transpacific area?
	11:32am Joe McG: @twf/Hughie: I didn't play the cut I meant to play, but the whole album is good, so it doesn't matter. Hi, Rob!
	♥ 11:33am David (in London): Here in, er, England, they always just continued to be known as The Beat. When I heard people referring to 'The English Beat' it made me think there was another Beat. There was, I just didn't realise for a while that it was The Beat! Confused? I sure was.
	11:33am Itzall Tumánnio: Rob W, that just seem too long for me... haha.
	♥ 11:33am ParUbi: My father was a really musical guy. His last two days were filled with Bach and Mozart. Just sad I couldn't see him with this Covid thing, and that he left us so quickly (pancreatic c).
	♥ 11:33am Rob W: I apologize, I am posting a bit much for a staffer but yes it's me, hi TDK60 and Joe, Katie and I love the show as always!
	11:33am TDK60: My sympathy, ParUbi.
	♥ 11:34am Rob W: Ah, sorry ParUbi.
	11:34am morphe': Sorry Parubi....
	11:34am TDK60: Rob, are the DJs supposed to keep a low comments board profile?
	11:34am Joe McG: Thanks, Rob. I find myself posting more, too. Never used to at all. Miss contact!
	♥ 11:35am Phillippe Bastille: @ParUbi Sorry to hear about your dad, my friend
	11:35am Joe B: "I am posting a bit much for a staffer" what are the accepted limits?
	♥ 11:36am David (in London): Hey Phillippe. Presumably Staysh puts over-commenting DJs on the Naughty Step?
	♥ 11:37am ParUbi: Thanks, and I don't want to make the heavy state of the world heavier. Last observation: grief is surreal
	♥ 11:37am Carmichael: Thanks again Joe for the swag heads up. I had no idea I had that much crap .. er, stuff coming to me!
	11:37am Joe McG: @Joe B.: No more than 50 posts per show.
	♥ 11:38am Brian in UK: @Rob W. Fools Gold had a stab at an African/Tinawaren kind of sound and sung in Hebrew.
	♥ 11:38am Handy Haversack: You owe us 49 posts, Joe B!
	11:38am P-90: Strings, harp, AND electric sitar + tons of echo = lush
	11:39am TDK60: I don't see why it would matter, DJs chiming in. // Rob. W> I heard that Bo Diddley had an African thing in his beat.
	♥ 11:40am Mike Sin: This Monophonics release just doesn't let up... so good.
	♥ 11:40am Matt Fiveash: Joe your show is especially hitting the spot today. Will refrain from trying to fit my allotted 50 posts into the last 20 minutes of the program...
	♥ 11:40am Davis: wow. this is new?
	11:40am Itzall Tumánnio: ParUbi, sorry to hear of your loss and yes, grief does seem surreal. My dad passed on Christmas (yes, just a few months ago) and I can tell you that grief is just part of every day now. Some good, some not so good but it will always be here now. I think I meant that to be useful, hope it doesn't sound like a downer. Just the way it is for me and, I think most people.
	♥ 11:41am Handy Haversack: Every day, I check the hall for swag, heart in throat! No idea what I will look forward to once it arrives! (David, I had left the card table up after date night dinner and then Sunday gaming, hoping it might be too great a logistical challenge for exercise time, but Kate seems to be solving it. Looks like halberd training is back on!)
	♥ 11:41am Davis: that was a lovely track---monophonics
	11:41am Joe McG: Hi, WFMU DJs! I miss you all.
	11:42am Michael Shelley: Fetchin Bones - an lp I know I have somewhere in my house - but haven't laid hands on in years... thanks Joe for the jolt!
	♥ 11:42am Handy Haversack: Just clouded up again over Brooklyn for this song. Do it, Matt Fiveash -- there's plenty of time!
	♥ 11:42am David (in London): Handy - The Runzas will award you a special patch for your dedication.
	♥ 11:43am Brian in UK: Is this an FMU team meeting (virtually)
	11:44am Joe McG: Sure, Michael! Sorry I didn't get to Juniper yet -- I planned to. Hopefully before the end!
	11:44am TDK60: Joe, you unleashed this Joan A. song at this time? Thank you.
	11:44am Cagey: RIP Betty Wright. The Cleanup Woman!
	♥ 11:45am Rob W: Let's go with Joe McG's staff posting guidelines Joe B! And yes Brian, Fool's Gold, spot on! That's another band that effectively worked the African guitar angle. Actually way back in 1982 Weekend in the UK (spinoff of Young Marble Giants) did some nice stuff along those lines on the album La Varieté. Much more recently in the US Vampire Weekend of course got pretty big with some African guitar music influence. Needless to say, I have a list. Anyway Brian I have to leave the FMU team meeting now to get on my exercycle!
	11:45am prudy: Joe, great show...don't tell me Joan died?
	11:45am Michael Shelley: There's never enough time! (no sweat)
	11:45am βrian: I've always thought that was one of the most brilliant opening lines. That Joan!
	11:45am Roberto: I really wore out my cassette of Track Record from about '87-'89.
	11:45am Joe B: was fortunate enough to catch betty at the Ponderosa stomp. impressive
	♥ 11:45am David (in London): I think everyone should junk Zoom and have all their meetings on the FMU Accu. It would be an elegant chaos.
	11:46am P-90: “staffer”? The legendary Rob W calls himself a mere “staffer”? I notice many DJs are posting more frequently, it seems a logical consequence of the Crisis. Feels like another small part of the process of a community that I’ve seen pulling together during a tough time for everyone.
	11:46am Joe McG: Hey, Michael, here's the sax solo you would cut out!
	♥ 11:48am Ken From Hyde Park: Uncle Michael had streaming video from his studio last Friday. That was fun to watch. Marty McSorley occasionally posts photos from his studio.
	11:48am Joe B: P-90 - well back in the old world the majority of my FMU listening was done on the car radio. Now, nowhere to go, listening at home. always wanted to post more but usually not able to
	♥ 11:48am Hughie Considine: This is where the SNL sax sound came from...
	11:48am Davido: @P-90 I'm a recent addition to the community here and I can vouch for it being a great source of connection so far. Love the music and the personalities.
	11:49am P-90: Is UM’s video stream archived? I’d love to see it.
	♥ 11:49am Jeff Golick: Wassup. Great show, Joe. (1/50)
	♥ 11:49am Handy Haversack: Since I'm going to be too out of breath in five minutes to say it -- thanks, Joe! Great show today! Really wonderful Monday going so far on WFMU -- and more Joe to come! Be cool, everyone!
	♥ 11:50am jinjabredboy: double Hazlewood helping - yay! - great show
	11:50am Michael Shelley: Ha!
	♥ 11:50am efd: I'm saving my posts so I can post 99 times during Joe B's show. (No offense, Joe McG.)
	♥ 11:50am Yes: this is a sweet one
	11:50am Joe McG: Ha ha, hi Jeff G! None taken, efd!
	♥ 11:51am Brian in UK: Joe. Great show as ever. Stay safe everyone and all.
	♥ 11:52am Ken From Hyde Park: @P-90 - Video is not archived, evidently. I see just the regular playlist archive.
	♥ 11:52am Jeff Golick: (@P-90, re UM's video stream, I do not think he is archiving those.)
	11:53am Toothgrinder Tom: Joan Armatrading’s music has aged well, if that earlier track is any indication. I think I had a couple of her cassettes in high school.
	♥ 11:53am nortonjutland: great show Joe; i repeat myself.
	♥ 11:53am Brian in UK: @P-90, live only I think, you do get the cat wandering around in the background though.
	♥ 11:53am Lizardner Dave 2: Thanks Joe!
	♥ 11:53am Baja Joe: Tom Waits for everyone
	11:54am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting today, everybody. It was a pleasure to be with you, as always. Thanks for the company and I'll see you next time.
	11:54am βrian: Irene coming up on the Drummer stream, if that interests you: wfmu.org...
	11:54am TDK60: Rob W. I'd like to see that list sometime, but you may not see my request there on the exercise machine. Will try to remember to ask you Sat. night during you smash hits show.
	♥ 11:54am David (in London): Such a great show today Joe. Luckily, this being Monday, we can engage the Joe to Joe Continuum, and let the fun carry on.
	11:54am ami ad: 'till next time.
	♥ 11:55am listener 126464: Thank you Joe!
	♥ 11:55am 12539: Thank you, Joe!
	11:55am TDK60: Thanks so much Joe, you have great tastes in music, smells too.
	11:55am morphe': Thanks Joe and all...
	11:56am Sky Blue Scott: Great show!
	♥ 11:56am WO Town Wick: Warm glowing show today. Thanks Joe.
	♥ 11:57am Crudbringer: Thanks Joe!
	11:57am Jett: Nice show, thanks!
	11:57am Andrea in JC: Thanks Joe! :) :) :) Have a good one!
	♥ 11:57am Phillippe Bastille: Thanks Joe
	11:57am Davido: Thanks Joe!
	♥ 11:58am TomDash: I LOVE that Fetchin Bones song...brings me back to the old 80s college radio days!
	♥ 12:00pm radioronan: Thanks Joe!
