	🎸 ♥ 9:37am melinda: Good morning! I feel the same way about sunshine pop too.
	9:40am josh: Now you're playing The Divine Comedy, Joe! Wonderful.
	♥ 9:40am Joe McG: I'm glad, melinda! Hey, everybody!
	🎸 ♥ 9:41am doctorjazz: Great tune, this Divine Comedy, never heard it. Happy Monday all.
	9:43am Sam: Celle-ci a toujours ete une des mes chansons preferees
	9:43am Eddie B II: I believe the King cousin was Tina Cole. Robbie's wife.
	♥ 9:43am northguineahills: I don't remember which zine it was (the Wire?), but in '98 I heard that WFMU had a webstream. So, at work, late at night when I was the only one at the office (I was still in college), I tuned it. It was tinny, I believe it was Gateway to Joy. Two years later I moved from FL to here.
	🎸 ♥ 9:43am melinda: For a long time I didn't know it was called sunshine pop. In my mind I had it categorized as floaty 60s music.
	9:43am Sam: Le premier bonheur du jour = The first boner of the day
	9:46am Cecile: Melinda, I think a comp was called "Sunshine Pop" and it seemed like a good category for a lot of music.
	9:50am Eric Hat: Shredding programme, sir. It's keeping me up into these brutal daylight hours...and yet I thank you!
	9:51am Wild Neil: @Roberto-It was 1985 for me...in a car in a rural area of NJ farmland not far from the Delaware Water Gap. My musical influence friend turned me onto it...
	♥ 9:51am Joe McG: Thanks much, E Hat!
	9:51am lloyd michigan: The Feelies will always remind me of an annoying girl named Lois who worked so hard to be "alternative." I think they were here favorite band.
	♥ 9:52am Joe McG: @lloyd: I wonder what Lois is up to these days?
	♥ 9:53am Brian C.: Feelies playing in Maplewood June 10 & 11. Loved their Monty Hall show!
	9:54am lloyd michigan: Good question. She was a friend of a friend. I last saw her in the mid-90s. I should try to find out.
	9:54am Marc Francis: Every time I hear a Feelies song I wonder what the hell I was doing and how the hell I missed them the first time around...
	♥ 9:55am Joe McG: @Brian: I hear extra special surprises on those June shows. Some kind of anniversary!
	9:55am lloyd michigan: She's probably the mother of three, married to a lawyer and lives in an upscale Chicago suburb.
	♥ 9:59am annie: well, all my work is done and i am stagnant.... should i stay or should i go now? i could read the comics from sunday.. fine.!
	♥ 10:00am βrian: It was spring on the isthmus Friday and has been summer since. Strange times.
	♥ 10:03am Parq: We should! And yet, here I am getting ready for work. Phooey.
	♥ 10:07am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe & all!
	10:07am SeanG: hot stuff this santigold
	♥ 10:07am Joe McG: Looking good on the home page today, Greg!
	10:15am Cecile: hi, all! Same here Brian. My transitional boots and clothes are sad.
	♥ 10:19am Greg from ZONE 5: Why thank you! That gave me quite the shock…
	♥ 10:20am Marcel M: This drum beat is ill.
	♥ 10:23am Whosondephone: Get the f*** out of here with this. It's good.
	♥ 10:23am Joe McG: @Marcel: This steel drum funk album isn't getting much love here at WFMU, but I LOVE IT!
	♥ 10:25am Marcel M: @Joe: Haha. Can't imagine why! I'm sure Fabio will play it this week.
	10:25am Brendan: Cool bass
	🎸 ♥ 10:26am PKNY: Good TZAG Joe and everybody! It's funny, while on vacation a few ago, I saw a boat named "Mucho Macho". Who knew it had its own theme music? And count me in as down with steel drum funk!
	♥ 10:26am Joe McG: @Marcel: Ha!
	10:29am Jeffy Jazz: Great set(s), Joe! Thanks for making my Monday AM.
	♥ 10:31am duke: I'm back to WFMU after the fire drill.
	♥ 10:33am βrian: But you can play them @ the RPM of your choice ...
	♥ 10:34am Joe McG: @Brian: Sometimes I do without even trying! @Jeffy: You bet!
	♥ 10:37am fred: Good morning Joe and listeners
	10:39am Jeffy Jazz: This is quite a Nugget! Syd and Lennon and soda pop!
	♥ 10:41am Joe McG: @Jeffy: Wish it were in better shape! Hey Fred!
	10:45am Cecile: My dad used to sing this song all the time, too. But it's not as gut-wretching as some other ones he used to sing.
	♥ 10:46am βrian: Detroit City is not too far from Flint City.
	10:46am Cecile: except we didn't know as Detroit City, we knew it as "I WANNA GO HOME"
	10:47am Sarah: Checking in from Detroit City! ;)
	♥ 10:48am Joe McG: @Cecile and Sarah: Nice!
	10:48am Cecile: OTIS
	10:48am Cecile: call me a special snowflake, but I prefer Otis over Al Green any day. YMMV.
	♥ 10:49am fred: A month ago, I saw a Surface Noise DJ set. Not as a reference to your show, but many of the records were surface noise or sounded like it. Knowing both DJs, I wouldn't be surprised if they had recorded actual surface noise to a brand new record. I loved it
	🎸 ♥ 10:49am doctorjazz: Great 45's so far! This Otis Clay is really fabulous. Not sure about the Green/Clay competition, Clay a bit more earthy.
	10:50am Cecile: but I always liked Dennis Edwards better than David Ruffin. dodge projectiles:
	♥ 10:50am Joe McG: @Cecile: I love both, but Otis always sounds so anguished. Al is almost too cool to sound that broken up.
	10:50am Cecile: I like earthy. EXACTLY, Joe. And I feel more like Otis more than I do Al most of my life.
	♥ 10:53am Joe McG: @fred: I'm a big supporter of surface noise. But I hope they didn't add it in! I'm not such a big fan of that.
	10:54am Cecile: hudsons!
	♥ 10:54am βrian: @Cecile: apropos of nothing, do you recall an old style delicatessen on Broadway in Detroit? It was the kind of place that had everything you couldn't get elsewhere. Eel sandwich? No problem.
	10:56am Cecile: I drove through Detroit a lot. It was the 80s. I mostly hit the inner ring burbs, Windsor, Tiger Stadium, St. Andrew's and Greektown. I'm sorry now that my vistas were so limited.
	🎸 ♥ 10:56am ChrisB.: Which Hudson brother does the Macca impression?
	10:56am Cecile: the only coney Island place to was in Flint. :(
	10:56am Cecile: Not that the coneys were bad, far from it.
	♥ 10:57am Joe McG: @ChrisB: Mark?
	♥ 11:00am fred: @Joe: One once did a show with a blank vinyl and a blade mounted on the stylus to that the tracks were cut as he played. I think he's also the one who recorded 4 turntablists playing together live to vinyl, each on a separate spiral, so you can only hear one at a time. So that's his thing
	♥ 11:00am βrian: I doubt this place made it through the 80s. I remember that smell of roasting coffee, mountains of sausage, etc.
	11:01am Cecile: that sounds like a wonderful thing, Brian.
	11:02am melinda: I like Friend
	11:05am Cecile: there were three. One had a mustache.
	11:06am miketp: Friend n lover are really Jim cathy post who reordered with ray stevens Joe South in Nashville. This info from a wfmu listener just the other day. Who knew!
	♥ 11:06am βrian: Three Mile Island?
	11:06am Jeffy Jazz: Didn't the Hudson Bros. have a wacky Saturday morning show in the '70s?
	11:08am Cecile: They had a prime time tv show, a Saturday morning show, and they also had an underrated show called Bonkers with the Muppets.
	11:10am Jeffy Jazz: Wow! I only remember the Sat. morning show. They gave the Banana Splits a good run for their money.
	11:12am Jeffy Jazz: I think Goldie Hawn had an affair with a Banana Split, but she ended up back in the arms of a Hudson. Good thing. Imagine Kate Hudson with purple hair and orange fur!
	11:13am Cecile: yeah, I hope the 'Crust starts touring again. That would be a gas!
	11:14am Cecile: Glenn Jones from Cul De Sac.
	11:14am Eddie B II: I think it was Bingo, the drummer, that was with Goldie
	11:15am Jeffy Jazz: @Eddie B II: It's always the drummers!
	♥ 11:17am Greg from ZONE 5: These guys have the cure for the Monday blues.
	♥ 11:18am Greg from ZONE 5: <gasp!> THANKS, JOE!!!
	♥ 11:18am Joe McG: Greg, you're listening at the right time!
	♥ 11:21am JP from KC: Great track! I will instantly adore anything with vocals even vaguely resembling Nico. And the eastern influence just seals the deal.
	♥ 11:22am Greg from ZONE 5: Fighting the urge to hippie dance around my office…
	♥ 11:23am Joe McG: Let your inner hippie out!
	♥ 11:25am βrian: But he's already half digested.
	♥ 11:25am Joe McG: @Brian: Ha!
	11:27am Will: I like a song that works you hard.
	♥ 11:28am Greg from ZONE 5: Starting the week out on the right foot.
	♥ 11:28am Joe McG: @Will: You've gotta work for it, but it's worth it in the end.
	11:29am KP: Like this "Sun."
	♥ 11:35am Sem Chumbo: Yum. Love this.
	11:37am Dagwood: Great show Joe. I found that Incredible String Band record recently and played it for my teen daughter. She loved it.
	♥ 11:38am βrian: That's my kind of drone.
	♥ 11:39am Joe McG: @Dagwood: That's so cool!
	🎸 ♥ 11:41am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Funny, I recently got The Big Huge out of our local library.
	♥ 11:42am Sem Chumbo: The Bowles connection. Wonderful stuff, Joe.
	♥ 11:42am Joe McG: @Sem: This is an amazing expansion on the original release! @Brian: Great minds! :)
	🎸 ♥ 11:43am Brian in UK: Hello Sem. A friend our daughters' has recently moved to Halifax with his wife. He is a tattooist.
	11:43am Brendan: Bouhiya! This is great
	11:44am Mark R: As soon as I read about this being released I knew it wouldn't be long before I started hearing it on FMU. But you're actually the first DJ I've heard playing it. I'm sure you won't be the last!
	11:45am Cecile: I have that box, it's interesting and gorgeous. I like disc 4 because, probably because th music is the least pure.
	♥ 11:46am Joe McG: @Mark: A couple of DJs have hit it already and hopefully there will be many more exploring their inner hippie with an audio trip to Moroc.
	11:46am Mark R: Yep, it pushes all the right buttons, freak-wise.
	🎸 ♥ 11:48am Brian in UK: Funny thing, my wife asked me the other week "Do you fancy going to Marrakesh?" It was more the Rif Mountains that had my attention.
	11:49am Mark R: Oh, nice segue, I like what you done did there!
	♥ 11:49am βrian: Is it possible to ululate without an uvula?
	🎸 ♥ 11:51am Brian in UK: Ask Laura Mvula.
	♥ 11:51am Sem Chumbo: @BiUK: spent a week up in the Rif, about 2 hours from Tetouan. Small place, spectacular views, killer cuisine. Worth the time, for sure.
	♥ 11:53am Sem Chumbo: @BiUK: HFX is a big college town, lots of virgin skin, year after year, for an inker with the chops.
	🎸 ♥ 11:55am Brian in UK: Thanks Sem. Got your 'tatas planted yet? Yes, they saw his work somehow and gave him a job.
	11:55am Cecile: Is this a shirtless Herbie record?
	♥ 11:56am Sem Chumbo: Shortly, Brian. Leeks, beets and and parsnips in yesterday. Got yours in?
	♥ 11:57am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everybody. Have a great week. Hope it's a sunshiny one.
	♥ 11:57am Sem Chumbo: See you next time, Joe!
	🎸 ♥ 11:58am Brian in UK: Bit behind, still planning.
	♥ 11:59am βrian: Just because: upload.wikimedia.org...
	♥ 11:59am Greg from ZONE 5: Know what's weird? I was thinking of instruments I could learn and practice in my apartment and I thought "Flute!"
	11:59am MenfussMike: hebie mann is THE MAN
	♥ 11:59am Jeff: What, no Wizard Fist today?
	12:00pm greetree14zzz: soooooo gooouuuuddd

	♥ 9:43am northguineahills: I don't remember which zine it was (the Wire?), but in '98 I heard that WFMU had a webstream. So, at work, late at night when I was the only one at the office (I was still in college), I tuned it. It was tinny, I believe it was Gateway to Joy. Two years later I moved from FL to here.
	🎸 ♥ 9:43am melinda: For a long time I didn't know it was called sunshine pop. In my mind I had it categorized as floaty 60s music.
	9:43am Sam: Le premier bonheur du jour = The first boner of the day
	9:46am Cecile: Melinda, I think a comp was called "Sunshine Pop" and it seemed like a good category for a lot of music.
	9:50am Eric Hat: Shredding programme, sir. It's keeping me up into these brutal daylight hours...and yet I thank you!
	9:51am Wild Neil: @Roberto-It was 1985 for me...in a car in a rural area of NJ farmland not far from the Delaware Water Gap. My musical influence friend turned me onto it...
	♥ 9:51am Joe McG: Thanks much, E Hat!
	9:51am lloyd michigan: The Feelies will always remind me of an annoying girl named Lois who worked so hard to be "alternative." I think they were here favorite band.
	♥ 9:52am Joe McG: @lloyd: I wonder what Lois is up to these days?
	♥ 9:53am Brian C.: Feelies playing in Maplewood June 10 & 11. Loved their Monty Hall show!
	9:54am lloyd michigan: Good question. She was a friend of a friend. I last saw her in the mid-90s. I should try to find out.
	9:54am Marc Francis: Every time I hear a Feelies song I wonder what the hell I was doing and how the hell I missed them the first time around...
	♥ 9:55am Joe McG: @Brian: I hear extra special surprises on those June shows. Some kind of anniversary!
	9:55am lloyd michigan: She's probably the mother of three, married to a lawyer and lives in an upscale Chicago suburb.
	♥ 9:59am annie: well, all my work is done and i am stagnant.... should i stay or should i go now? i could read the comics from sunday.. fine.!
	♥ 10:00am βrian: It was spring on the isthmus Friday and has been summer since. Strange times.
	♥ 10:03am Parq: We should! And yet, here I am getting ready for work. Phooey.
	♥ 10:07am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe & all!
	10:07am SeanG: hot stuff this santigold
	♥ 10:07am Joe McG: Looking good on the home page today, Greg!
	10:15am Cecile: hi, all! Same here Brian. My transitional boots and clothes are sad.
	♥ 10:19am Greg from ZONE 5: Why thank you! That gave me quite the shock…
	♥ 10:20am Marcel M: This drum beat is ill.
	♥ 10:23am Whosondephone: Get the f*** out of here with this. It's good.
	♥ 10:23am Joe McG: @Marcel: This steel drum funk album isn't getting much love here at WFMU, but I LOVE IT!
	♥ 10:25am Marcel M: @Joe: Haha. Can't imagine why! I'm sure Fabio will play it this week.
	10:25am Brendan: Cool bass
	🎸 ♥ 10:26am PKNY: Good TZAG Joe and everybody! It's funny, while on vacation a few ago, I saw a boat named "Mucho Macho". Who knew it had its own theme music? And count me in as down with steel drum funk!
	♥ 10:26am Joe McG: @Marcel: Ha!
	10:29am Jeffy Jazz: Great set(s), Joe! Thanks for making my Monday AM.
	♥ 10:31am duke: I'm back to WFMU after the fire drill.
	♥ 10:33am βrian: But you can play them @ the RPM of your choice ...
	♥ 10:34am Joe McG: @Brian: Sometimes I do without even trying! @Jeffy: You bet!
	♥ 10:37am fred: Good morning Joe and listeners
	10:39am Jeffy Jazz: This is quite a Nugget! Syd and Lennon and soda pop!
	♥ 10:41am Joe McG: @Jeffy: Wish it were in better shape! Hey Fred!
	10:45am Cecile: My dad used to sing this song all the time, too. But it's not as gut-wretching as some other ones he used to sing.
	♥ 10:46am βrian: Detroit City is not too far from Flint City.
	10:46am Cecile: except we didn't know as Detroit City, we knew it as "I WANNA GO HOME"
	10:47am Sarah: Checking in from Detroit City! ;)
	♥ 10:48am Joe McG: @Cecile and Sarah: Nice!
	10:48am Cecile: OTIS
	10:48am Cecile: call me a special snowflake, but I prefer Otis over Al Green any day. YMMV.
	♥ 10:49am fred: A month ago, I saw a Surface Noise DJ set. Not as a reference to your show, but many of the records were surface noise or sounded like it. Knowing both DJs, I wouldn't be surprised if they had recorded actual surface noise to a brand new record. I loved it
	🎸 ♥ 10:49am doctorjazz: Great 45's so far! This Otis Clay is really fabulous. Not sure about the Green/Clay competition, Clay a bit more earthy.
	10:50am Cecile: but I always liked Dennis Edwards better than David Ruffin. dodge projectiles:
	♥ 10:50am Joe McG: @Cecile: I love both, but Otis always sounds so anguished. Al is almost too cool to sound that broken up.
	10:50am Cecile: I like earthy. EXACTLY, Joe. And I feel more like Otis more than I do Al most of my life.
	♥ 10:53am Joe McG: @fred: I'm a big supporter of surface noise. But I hope they didn't add it in! I'm not such a big fan of that.
	10:54am Cecile: hudsons!
	♥ 10:54am βrian: @Cecile: apropos of nothing, do you recall an old style delicatessen on Broadway in Detroit? It was the kind of place that had everything you couldn't get elsewhere. Eel sandwich? No problem.
	10:56am Cecile: I drove through Detroit a lot. It was the 80s. I mostly hit the inner ring burbs, Windsor, Tiger Stadium, St. Andrew's and Greektown. I'm sorry now that my vistas were so limited.
	🎸 ♥ 10:56am ChrisB.: Which Hudson brother does the Macca impression?
	10:56am Cecile: the only coney Island place to was in Flint. :(
	10:56am Cecile: Not that the coneys were bad, far from it.
	♥ 10:57am Joe McG: @ChrisB: Mark?
	♥ 11:00am fred: @Joe: One once did a show with a blank vinyl and a blade mounted on the stylus to that the tracks were cut as he played. I think he's also the one who recorded 4 turntablists playing together live to vinyl, each on a separate spiral, so you can only hear one at a time. So that's his thing
	♥ 11:00am βrian: I doubt this place made it through the 80s. I remember that smell of roasting coffee, mountains of sausage, etc.
	11:01am Cecile: that sounds like a wonderful thing, Brian.
	11:02am melinda: I like Friend
	11:05am Cecile: there were three. One had a mustache.
	11:06am miketp: Friend n lover are really Jim cathy post who reordered with ray stevens Joe South in Nashville. This info from a wfmu listener just the other day. Who knew!
	♥ 11:06am βrian: Three Mile Island?
	11:06am Jeffy Jazz: Didn't the Hudson Bros. have a wacky Saturday morning show in the '70s?
	11:08am Cecile: They had a prime time tv show, a Saturday morning show, and they also had an underrated show called Bonkers with the Muppets.
	11:10am Jeffy Jazz: Wow! I only remember the Sat. morning show. They gave the Banana Splits a good run for their money.
	11:12am Jeffy Jazz: I think Goldie Hawn had an affair with a Banana Split, but she ended up back in the arms of a Hudson. Good thing. Imagine Kate Hudson with purple hair and orange fur!
	11:13am Cecile: yeah, I hope the 'Crust starts touring again. That would be a gas!
	11:14am Cecile: Glenn Jones from Cul De Sac.
	11:14am Eddie B II: I think it was Bingo, the drummer, that was with Goldie
	11:15am Jeffy Jazz: @Eddie B II: It's always the drummers!
	♥ 11:17am Greg from ZONE 5: These guys have the cure for the Monday blues.
	♥ 11:18am Greg from ZONE 5: <gasp!> THANKS, JOE!!!
	♥ 11:18am Joe McG: Greg, you're listening at the right time!
	♥ 11:21am JP from KC: Great track! I will instantly adore anything with vocals even vaguely resembling Nico. And the eastern influence just seals the deal.
	♥ 11:22am Greg from ZONE 5: Fighting the urge to hippie dance around my office…
	♥ 11:23am Joe McG: Let your inner hippie out!
	♥ 11:25am βrian: But he's already half digested.
	♥ 11:25am Joe McG: @Brian: Ha!
	11:27am Will: I like a song that works you hard.
	♥ 11:28am Greg from ZONE 5: Starting the week out on the right foot.
	♥ 11:28am Joe McG: @Will: You've gotta work for it, but it's worth it in the end.
	11:29am KP: Like this "Sun."
	♥ 11:35am Sem Chumbo: Yum. Love this.
	11:37am Dagwood: Great show Joe. I found that Incredible String Band record recently and played it for my teen daughter. She loved it.
	♥ 11:38am βrian: That's my kind of drone.
	♥ 11:39am Joe McG: @Dagwood: That's so cool!
	🎸 ♥ 11:41am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Funny, I recently got The Big Huge out of our local library.
	♥ 11:42am Sem Chumbo: The Bowles connection. Wonderful stuff, Joe.
	♥ 11:42am Joe McG: @Sem: This is an amazing expansion on the original release! @Brian: Great minds! :)
	🎸 ♥ 11:43am Brian in UK: Hello Sem. A friend our daughters' has recently moved to Halifax with his wife. He is a tattooist.
	11:43am Brendan: Bouhiya! This is great
	11:44am Mark R: As soon as I read about this being released I knew it wouldn't be long before I started hearing it on FMU. But you're actually the first DJ I've heard playing it. I'm sure you won't be the last!
	11:45am Cecile: I have that box, it's interesting and gorgeous. I like disc 4 because, probably because th music is the least pure.
	♥ 11:46am Joe McG: @Mark: A couple of DJs have hit it already and hopefully there will be many more exploring their inner hippie with an audio trip to Moroc.
	11:46am Mark R: Yep, it pushes all the right buttons, freak-wise.
	🎸 ♥ 11:48am Brian in UK: Funny thing, my wife asked me the other week "Do you fancy going to Marrakesh?" It was more the Rif Mountains that had my attention.
	11:49am Mark R: Oh, nice segue, I like what you done did there!
	♥ 11:49am βrian: Is it possible to ululate without an uvula?
	🎸 ♥ 11:51am Brian in UK: Ask Laura Mvula.
	♥ 11:51am Sem Chumbo: @BiUK: spent a week up in the Rif, about 2 hours from Tetouan. Small place, spectacular views, killer cuisine. Worth the time, for sure.
	♥ 11:53am Sem Chumbo: @BiUK: HFX is a big college town, lots of virgin skin, year after year, for an inker with the chops.
	🎸 ♥ 11:55am Brian in UK: Thanks Sem. Got your 'tatas planted yet? Yes, they saw his work somehow and gave him a job.
	11:55am Cecile: Is this a shirtless Herbie record?
	♥ 11:56am Sem Chumbo: Shortly, Brian. Leeks, beets and and parsnips in yesterday. Got yours in?
	♥ 11:57am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everybody. Have a great week. Hope it's a sunshiny one.
	♥ 11:57am Sem Chumbo: See you next time, Joe!
	🎸 ♥ 11:58am Brian in UK: Bit behind, still planning.
	♥ 11:59am βrian: Just because: upload.wikimedia.org...
	♥ 11:59am Greg from ZONE 5: Know what's weird? I was thinking of instruments I could learn and practice in my apartment and I thought "Flute!"
	11:59am MenfussMike: hebie mann is THE MAN
	♥ 11:59am Jeff: What, no Wizard Fist today?
	12:00pm greetree14zzz: soooooo gooouuuuddd
