	♥ 9:13am annie: guido, i said the same thing to myself, too.. wow
	9:13am Wild Neil: Great, its every CCR song we all know as a hit....
	♥ 9:14am Joe McG: A disco beat improves everything!
	9:14am bobdoesthings: @wildneil - no bad moon rising!? not every!
	9:16am sphere: ahem....ARRRGH! oh, hi folks. :)
	9:16am Brendan: The dude is very glad that you found his credence tape and is shaking his booty on the dance floor
	♥ 9:16am Guido from Cologne: Guess this a tape loop providing the basic beat
	9:17am KP: I hope this is the guy the fake CCR uses
	9:18am sphere: i think there is a pattern to Joe's madness....
	♥ 9:18am annie: hot dog!!
	9:19am djsheilab: Joe you're killing me!! (in the best way of course). Breathy sexy disco Light My Fire!
	9:19am sphere: this is going to be a legendary show, i betcha.
	🎸 ♥ 9:20am melinda: I thought Eleanor Rigby worked quite well with the disco treatment.
	♥ 9:21am Joe McG: @sheilab: SUCH an improvement on the original! ;)
	9:22am bobdoesthings: this is bringing up memories of first learning guitar and trying to get that main riff to Layla down.... weird they called Clapton "slow hand"
	♥ 9:22am duke: Howdy Joe and all
	♥ 9:23am duke: @annie Glad you liked that!
	9:24am sphere: @bobdoesthings - did Duane Allman play the main riff?
	♥ 9:25am annie: just sent you a thank-you immensely email! i knew eventually it coma back around on the gee-tar.
	♥ 9:25am Marcel M: @Bob: I have wondered that myself so I looked it up just now, actualy doesn't have to do with his playing style: "The English audiences would wait out the delay by doing what is called a "slow handclap". Clapton's nickname of 'Slowhand' came from Giorgio Gomelsky, a pun on the slow handclapping that ensued when Clapton stopped playing while he replaced a string."
	9:25am bobdoesthings: @sphere - ohhh, you might be right on that. that explains it.. that Layla riff is kinda explosive
	♥ 9:26am annie: hehe i was just thinking how a disco cover of HotRS would have to be damn good..and there it is!
	♥ 9:26am duke: You can usually find me here on Monday mornings
	9:26am bobdoesthings: @marcel - hah, thanks. I'm leanring so much this morning. <3wfmu
	9:26am bobdoesthings: **learning
	🎸 ♥ 9:28am Brian in UK: Hey Joe Scroll down to Quiero Creedence to see a review of a Creedence covers. www.independent.co.uk...
	♥ 9:30am Joe McG: Thanks, Brian, I would LIKE to hear a cumbia version of "Bad Moon Rising."
	🎸 ♥ 9:32am Brian in UK: I thought this was a Bobby Hebb cover.
	♥ 9:33am Joe McG: OK, one more and I'll leave the classic rock disco alone...for today.
	♥ 9:35am annie: oh no joe say it ain't so! that'd be like taking my crack pipe!
	♥ 9:37am Joe McG: @annie: Now, would I do that? :)
	♥ 9:40am Joe McG: Jimmy Goings, in case you need a visual: i.ytimg.com...
	9:40am Wild Neil: Some disco-like the song played in The Martian or American Hustle are pretty good.
	♥ 9:43am Rev. Turnip Druid: Hammer, I beseech thee: don't hurt these good people.
	♥ 9:46am rsj: I 100% agree with you Joe!
	🎸 ♥ 9:47am Brian in UK: Joe, guess you like Jose Feliciano's version of Light My Fire?
	9:48am P-90: "...inspired by the film Hair" , interesting, the film was a whole different iteration than the stage production
	9:48am bobdoesthings: its pornographic in the way that Georgia OKeefe paintings of flowers were pornographic - 2.bp.blogspot.com...
	9:49am Cheri Pi: belated Yipyips to everyone
	9:49am P-90: And let's hear it for "Vaguely Pornographic Album Covers"!
	9:50am bobdoesthings: Oops I meant - img.discogs.com...
	♥ 9:50am Joe McG: @bobdt: You are precisely right!
	♥ 9:51am Joe McG: @Brian: No, it's not a super favorite. But I like his version of "Hi Heel Sneakers."
	9:53am Wild Neil: @Bobdoesthings-that is vaguely disturbing!
	🎸 ♥ 9:53am Brian in UK: Joe, me neither. @bobdoesthings, read that as Latex Disco.
	🎸 ♥ 9:53am Uncle Michael: Money Chicha kicks complete and utter ass.
	🎸 ♥ 9:54am Brian in UK: There is a Georgia O'Keefe exhibition on at Tate Modern in London right now.
	♥ 10:00am Marcel M: woahh
	♥ 10:01am Jeff Golick: Morrismexy was taken?
	🎸 ♥ 10:01am Tim 07030: Hi Joe! "Echo en Mexico". Clever clever!
	♥ 10:03am Joe McG: What would "The Smiths" be in Mexico?
	10:04am djsheilab: Just wanted to say again how much I'm loving this show. These Spanish-language newbies are so fun!
	10:05am Wild Neil: @Joe McG-"Los Gonzaleses"?
	♥ 10:06am Joe McG: @djSB: And there's Ozzy! :) @Neil: In the U.S. "Garcia" is #1, according to Google.
	🎸 ♥ 10:07am Brian in UK: Painful with a cactus in the back pocket.
	10:09am Wild Neil: I miss the desert southwest town of Las Cruces, NM very much, home of New Mexico State University, altitude about 4,500 ft asl.
	10:10am Wild Neil: Sorry, 3,900 ft.
	10:15am djsheilab: Yessssss!!!
	♥ 10:15am βrian: Thanks, Joe. I missed it the first time.
	🎸 ♥ 10:15am Brian in UK: Got an African feel to it, Joe.
	♥ 10:18am Joe McG: @Brian: This new Venezuelan Soul Jazz comp is a killer diller.
	♥ 10:25am βrian: Born in Texas. Can you hear the twang?
	10:26am Cecile: just say "waters of March" like you just did.
	10:27am KP: Yes
	10:27am SueAdynamo: i can't see the olympics b/c i CUT THE CORD
	10:28am Cecile: some poor kayaker got hit by a floating couch.
	10:28am Cecile: they should have the ceremonies up by now.
	♥ 10:29am annie: i used to watch them when the feeds were live. now they're all canned and way too flashy. i'll take the high school track competitions. oh, they're accepting couches as flotation devices now?
	10:31am Cecile: Brazil always brings it - the closing ceremonies had Marisa Monte, BNegão and Seu Jorge. B did a rap version of Marcatu Atomico. doca helped me out with that!
	♥ 10:33am Tom Y.: Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil sang "Isto Aqui, O que É?" with a young female pop star. It was great, but of course, the camera focused on the pop star, and Matt Lauer didn't mention who the other guys were until they cut to commercial.
	10:33am Cecile: yeah, NBC sucks about the musical stuff.
	♥ 10:34am Tom Y.: The way they state the obvious DURING the songs drives me nuts.
	♥ 10:34am Joe McG: @SueA: I don't blame you! @Cecile/TomY: Sounds like good stuff, but bummed that Veloso and Gil got sidelined.
	🎸 ♥ 10:39am Brian in UK: World Pacific was a varied label.
	10:39am Cecile: they didn't show fricking Ray Davies set during the closing ceremonies at the London Olympics.
	10:40am Cecile: I was happy they didn't cut away from Jorge, et al at the London Olympics. I mean, it was less than ten minutes.
	♥ 10:40am βrian: Cucurrucucu!
	♥ 10:41am common: joe! all!
	♥ 10:42am Joe McG: Hey, common! Did I already tell you Liz's shirt looks great? If I didn't, I am now.
	10:43am yvang: Bashung is great. He had made a record with Gainsbourg.
	♥ 10:43am Joe McG: @yvang: He was around a long time. He may still be, for all I know!
	🎸 ♥ 10:45am Ken From Hyde Park: When Beavis and Butt-head was on the air, they sang "Good bye to poo!" Hoo boy.
	10:45am Cecile: amazing how the band that made this fun single and video made the bloated and unintentionally hilarious Warrior.
	🎸 ♥ 10:46am Brian in UK: @Ken it is not clever and it is not grown up. Now tidy up the pencils and bring them to the front of the class.
	10:47am Dennis Diken: nice show Joe. I dug that Lee Raymond cut
	10:48am cee: some pretty soul crushing songs this morning
	♥ 10:48am Joe McG: Hey Dennis, thanks for tuning in! Nice little light psyche record, no?
	♥ 10:50am annie: such a great selection of music this morning joe
	♥ 10:50am MD: I LOVE THE REGRET/DEPRESSION COUNTRY SONG! THEY ALWAYS MAKE ME HAPPY!!!! SICK I KNOW!
	♥ 10:51am βrian: Another 10 c.c. of silly ought to do it ...
	♥ 10:51am Joe McG: Why, thanks cee and annie! @MD: You so sick! :)
	♥ 10:51am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Lake Bro Joe!
	♥ 10:52am Rev. Turnip Druid: ZUP.
	♥ 10:52am Joe McG: @Greg: Now, wasn't that just the funnest time ever? @Rev: Hey, Rev!
	♥ 10:53am Marcel M: Woahhhhhh Bauhaus cover. Never heard this.
	♥ 10:53am βrian: @MD: I bet you'd like "You Never Even Called Me by My Name" (Goodman and Prine)
	♥ 10:54am annie: @brian- one of my all-time favorites
	♥ 10:54am Joe McG: @Marcel: Really? Didn't know Bauhaus covered this.
	♥ 10:55am Marcel M: @Joe: I thought they did the original!
	♥ 10:56am Marcel M: You learned me something new, Joe!
	♥ 10:56am Joe McG: @Marcel: It's a song that certainly suits them! But Cale wrote it.
	♥ 10:56am Rev. Turnip Druid: Only ever heard th'Bauhaus, myself... I done learned what Marcel learned.
	♥ 11:02am βrian: Hmm, someone ought to do a Steve Goodman show.
	11:03am Lewis: thats a pretty good scratch... ala Pierre Bastien
	♥ 11:03am Whosondephone: I think it was doing that last night. CD Player 2.
	♥ 11:03am Whosondephone: I didn't appreciate it.
	♥ 11:04am Whosondephone: over the intimate music.
	11:06am Cecile: she prolly sold more records than Patti Smith, so I think it turned out OK for her.
	🎸 ♥ 11:06am ChrisB.: I'm saving my marathon premium discs to enjoy on the 4 1/2 hour ride up to Cooperstown this Friday.
	♥ 11:10am βrian: You ought to have a honku competition.
	♥ 11:13am Marcel M: Looking forward to this!
	♥ 11:13am annie: hey ChrisB, say hi to Larry for me if he's showing his face...
	♥ 11:15am Joe McG: Doug's website: www.douglaskatelus.com...
	11:15am bobdoesthings: this is cooooooool
	♥ 11:16am Rev. Turnip Druid: Having flashbacks to my sweet departed Optigan™ some 30 years ago. [heavy sigh]... There must have been an organ disc that loaded a similar sound. Lovely stuff, this.
	♥ 11:16am Joe McG: And bandcamp page: soloorgan.bandcamp.com...
	11:16am steve: thanks Joe, love this guy!
	♥ 11:16am Whosondephone: I want an organ.
	♥ 11:16am Mike East: sorry, missed the intro. Is this on the studio's Lowery organ or did the artist bring in their own instrument?
	11:17am doncaballero: This is such good stuff. Love the Floyd cover of Atom Heart Mother that he does!
	♥ 11:17am Joe McG: @Mike: Yes, this is on our studio organ. You'll hear at one point that he starts putting matchbooks in the keys.
	♥ 11:18am Mike East: Awesome!
	11:18am doncaballero: Nice, he has a Bandcamp page. I had to find, er, certain methods to capture this stuff from Soundcloud and download it.
	♥ 11:18am Mike East: Oops...clearly written right there <---
	11:19am Wild Neil: @Rev Turnip-saw an Optigan in a music store in summer of 2000 in Ann Arbor...could you just write your own discs? I always wondered if that would work....
	♥ 11:21am βrian: I was in Ann Arbor then ...
	🎸 ♥ 11:22am Brian in UK: @βrian anyone who had a record label called Red Pyjamas has my vote. Mr Goodman was a good man.
	♥ 11:22am Joe McG: @donc: I recommend you pick it up if you see the LP. It's a keeper and it's also on lovely blue vinyl.
	🎸 ♥ 11:23am Brian in UK: @Joe matchbooks unlike Keith Emerson with knives.
	11:23am Wild Neil: @Brian-I had an engineering internship at Visteon in Monroe Michigain...and lived in an apt. tower next to a tiny little Dutch Reformed Church...
	♥ 11:23am Rev. Turnip Druid: @Neil: Dunno about writing your own discs from scratch, but there was a certain thing with glitching existing discs. Loved that instrument.
	♥ 11:24am Rev. Turnip Druid: Mrs. Druid is from nearby Livonia, MI -- Thus I've had reason to discover the outstanding vinyl shopping in Ann Arbor...
	♥ 11:24am Joe McG: I'll post some pics on the playlist after the show. As usual, I forgot to upload them.
	11:25am Wild Neil: Ann Arbor is just a cool university town in many respects!
	♥ 11:27am Rev. Turnip Druid: DIGGING.
	♥ 11:27am βrian: It's just not the same without the Del Rio, though ...
	11:27am Davis: this really sounds like my lowry holiday with magic genie. my new axe
	11:28am Davis: but if it is one, how did he get it in the studio? weighs a ton and is massive
	♥ 11:29am Joe McG: @Davis: We have one that a generous listener donated.
	11:29am Cecile: brian, ITA.
	11:30am Davis: thats great Joe, cool donation
	♥ 11:31am fred: @Wild Neil: it's analog, so I guess writing your own would be feasible. But you would need the right equipment, I don't think a regular lathe would do the job, even with the right disc material
	11:32am bobdoesthings: Wiggwaum - soundcloud.com...
	♥ 11:32am Joe McG: Thanks, bob, you're way ahead of me!
	11:34am bobdoesthings: @joe - no problem ALSO - Vimeo - vimeo.com...
	11:36am Wild Neil: @Fred-my understanding is that the waveform is printed on a clear acetate or mylar...it could be drafted carefully AutoCAD or even by hand and then printed on acetate in a regular printer if it can handle acetate....
	♥ 11:36am Joe McG: Many thanks to Doug for coming and playing on the show!
	11:37am steve: arent Optigan discs just clear plastic discs with patterns etched onto them in black, passing or blocking light? i dont seen any reason you couldnt make your own with the right tools...
	11:37am Davis: it was great
	♥ 11:37am Rev. Turnip Druid: Neil: Yep -- I think the whole glitching thing might be as simple as "editing" the concentric circular bands with marks via sharpie/permanent marker... I never had the nerve since mine was pre-internet & didn't know if I'd ever find more discs..
	♥ 11:39am Rev. Turnip Druid: thus, loading a disc upside down would make a reverse-gate effect, playing sounds backwards, etc...
	♥ 11:39am Joe McG: Look for the session on the FMA in a couple of weeks.
	🎸 ♥ 11:39am Brian in UK: I remember Richards Youngs playing a stunning set on the Lowery. wfmu.org...
	11:39am Wild Neil: @Steve-the plastic I saw was maybe .005" (5 mils) and it was merely printed. I'm willing to bet there are performance limitations on waveforms that are too "Radical" to output...which would be interesting to hear! Interesting sysesthesic problem! I wonder if you could load DaVinci drawings and play them? Probably only one wave at a time permitted.....
	♥ 11:41am Whosondephone: God this sounds so good at the shop.
	♥ 11:41am Joe McG: @Brian: Yes, that session is a gem!
	♥ 11:41am fred: @Neil: I doubt a regular printer would handle acetate. A sharpie would do the job for glitches but not much control there. And I thought about that (playing pictures) too. Probably would sound like a big mess, but it could be interesting. Many people do that with digital pics after all
	11:43am Wild Neil: @Fred-you can....see this...www.staples.com...
	♥ 11:44am Marcel M: OSCILLATIONS! Really dug that Solo Organ.
	♥ 11:45am βrian: @BUK: Are you growing sweet corn, at all? We're utterly awash in corn and tomatoes. Dreamy!
	♥ 11:47am fred: @Neil: nice... I guess you could then affix that to a clear disc so that it can be put into the Optigan...
	♥ 11:50am Goatpuncher: Groovy!
	11:50am mary: is minami deutsch a michael rother project? neu!-ish
	♥ 11:51am fred: Minami Deutsch seems to have a Europe tour coming next month! Unlikely to stop in my backwater area though @mary: they're Japanese
	♥ 11:52am Joe McG: @mary: Certainly inspired by him! A guy named Kyotaro Miula is behind it. They're Japanese.
	11:52am mary: thanks... I shall search
	🎸 ♥ 11:53am Brian in UK: @βrian Yes we are but were very late planting so a poor crop is likely. No a big fan of corn myself but the chooks will vacuum it up.
	11:53am Clay: Joe, so good to see you at the lake. Enjoyed hearing your laughter ring out repeatedly during the screening of Patrick Swayze's "Roadhouse." Great show today!
	11:54am Wild Neil: TWO clicky stars in a row! Silver Apples and Minami Deutsch...Cool! @Fred-I did not know it had a hard plastic disk, my bad....memory is faulty sometimes...but I feel a LOT better taking B12 supplements now, no pains and aches not as tired....
	♥ 11:54am Joe McG: @Clay: What a pleasure to hang out with such nice people! Glad we had that moment.
	11:54am bobdoesthings: great show Joe! Thanks!!
	♥ 11:55am Jeff Golick: Thanks, Joe! This Nels Cline record is very fine.
	♥ 11:55am Marcel M: Thanks Joe, loved this whole last set.
	🎸 ♥ 11:55am Brian in UK: Is there ever a bad show? Rhetorical comment. Hope everyone has an easy week.
	♥ 11:56am Joe McG: Thanks, bob! I hope everyone had a nice time today. Thanks for listening and commenting, everyone! Have a great week!
	♥ 11:57am βrian: @BUK: Really? Hereabouts, we have sweet corn in our blood. (And an ample supply of dental floss, naturally.)
	♥ 11:57am fred: @Neil: don't take my word on this, I have never seen one!
	🎸 ♥ 11:58am Brian in UK: @βrian but the body cannot process it.
	♥ 11:58am βrian: A little movie-music-ish, no? I've always been a sucker for the stuff.
	♥ 11:59am βrian: @BUK: "This too shall pass."

	♥ 9:21am Joe McG: @sheilab: SUCH an improvement on the original! ;)
	9:22am bobdoesthings: this is bringing up memories of first learning guitar and trying to get that main riff to Layla down.... weird they called Clapton "slow hand"
	♥ 9:22am duke: Howdy Joe and all
	♥ 9:23am duke: @annie Glad you liked that!
	9:24am sphere: @bobdoesthings - did Duane Allman play the main riff?
	♥ 9:25am annie: just sent you a thank-you immensely email! i knew eventually it coma back around on the gee-tar.
	♥ 9:25am Marcel M: @Bob: I have wondered that myself so I looked it up just now, actualy doesn't have to do with his playing style: "The English audiences would wait out the delay by doing what is called a "slow handclap". Clapton's nickname of 'Slowhand' came from Giorgio Gomelsky, a pun on the slow handclapping that ensued when Clapton stopped playing while he replaced a string."
	9:25am bobdoesthings: @sphere - ohhh, you might be right on that. that explains it.. that Layla riff is kinda explosive
	♥ 9:26am annie: hehe i was just thinking how a disco cover of HotRS would have to be damn good..and there it is!
	♥ 9:26am duke: You can usually find me here on Monday mornings
	9:26am bobdoesthings: @marcel - hah, thanks. I'm leanring so much this morning. <3wfmu

	♥ 9:30am Joe McG: Thanks, Brian, I would LIKE to hear a cumbia version of "Bad Moon Rising."
	🎸 ♥ 9:32am Brian in UK: I thought this was a Bobby Hebb cover.
	♥ 9:33am Joe McG: OK, one more and I'll leave the classic rock disco alone...for today.
	♥ 9:35am annie: oh no joe say it ain't so! that'd be like taking my crack pipe!
	♥ 9:37am Joe McG: @annie: Now, would I do that? :)
	♥ 9:40am Joe McG: Jimmy Goings, in case you need a visual: i.ytimg.com...
	9:40am Wild Neil: Some disco-like the song played in The Martian or American Hustle are pretty good.
	♥ 9:43am Rev. Turnip Druid: Hammer, I beseech thee: don't hurt these good people.
	♥ 9:46am rsj: I 100% agree with you Joe!
	🎸 ♥ 9:47am Brian in UK: Joe, guess you like Jose Feliciano's version of Light My Fire?
	9:48am P-90: "...inspired by the film Hair" , interesting, the film was a whole different iteration than the stage production
	9:48am bobdoesthings: its pornographic in the way that Georgia OKeefe paintings of flowers were pornographic - 2.bp.blogspot.com...
	9:49am Cheri Pi: belated Yipyips to everyone
	9:49am P-90: And let's hear it for "Vaguely Pornographic Album Covers"!
	9:50am bobdoesthings: Oops I meant - img.discogs.com...
	♥ 9:50am Joe McG: @bobdt: You are precisely right!
	♥ 9:51am Joe McG: @Brian: No, it's not a super favorite. But I like his version of "Hi Heel Sneakers."
	9:53am Wild Neil: @Bobdoesthings-that is vaguely disturbing!
	🎸 ♥ 9:53am Brian in UK: Joe, me neither. @bobdoesthings, read that as Latex Disco.
	🎸 ♥ 9:53am Uncle Michael: Money Chicha kicks complete and utter ass.
	🎸 ♥ 9:54am Brian in UK: There is a Georgia O'Keefe exhibition on at Tate Modern in London right now.
	♥ 10:00am Marcel M: woahh
	♥ 10:01am Jeff Golick: Morrismexy was taken?
	🎸 ♥ 10:01am Tim 07030: Hi Joe! "Echo en Mexico". Clever clever!
	♥ 10:03am Joe McG: What would "The Smiths" be in Mexico?
	10:04am djsheilab: Just wanted to say again how much I'm loving this show. These Spanish-language newbies are so fun!
	10:05am Wild Neil: @Joe McG-"Los Gonzaleses"?
	♥ 10:06am Joe McG: @djSB: And there's Ozzy! :) @Neil: In the U.S. "Garcia" is #1, according to Google.
	🎸 ♥ 10:07am Brian in UK: Painful with a cactus in the back pocket.
	10:09am Wild Neil: I miss the desert southwest town of Las Cruces, NM very much, home of New Mexico State University, altitude about 4,500 ft asl.
	10:10am Wild Neil: Sorry, 3,900 ft.
	10:15am djsheilab: Yessssss!!!
	♥ 10:15am βrian: Thanks, Joe. I missed it the first time.
	🎸 ♥ 10:15am Brian in UK: Got an African feel to it, Joe.
	♥ 10:18am Joe McG: @Brian: This new Venezuelan Soul Jazz comp is a killer diller.
	♥ 10:25am βrian: Born in Texas. Can you hear the twang?
	10:26am Cecile: just say "waters of March" like you just did.
	10:27am KP: Yes
	10:27am SueAdynamo: i can't see the olympics b/c i CUT THE CORD
	10:28am Cecile: some poor kayaker got hit by a floating couch.
	10:28am Cecile: they should have the ceremonies up by now.
	♥ 10:29am annie: i used to watch them when the feeds were live. now they're all canned and way too flashy. i'll take the high school track competitions. oh, they're accepting couches as flotation devices now?
	10:31am Cecile: Brazil always brings it - the closing ceremonies had Marisa Monte, BNegão and Seu Jorge. B did a rap version of Marcatu Atomico. doca helped me out with that!
	♥ 10:33am Tom Y.: Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil sang "Isto Aqui, O que É?" with a young female pop star. It was great, but of course, the camera focused on the pop star, and Matt Lauer didn't mention who the other guys were until they cut to commercial.
	10:33am Cecile: yeah, NBC sucks about the musical stuff.
	♥ 10:34am Tom Y.: The way they state the obvious DURING the songs drives me nuts.
	♥ 10:34am Joe McG: @SueA: I don't blame you! @Cecile/TomY: Sounds like good stuff, but bummed that Veloso and Gil got sidelined.
	🎸 ♥ 10:39am Brian in UK: World Pacific was a varied label.
	10:39am Cecile: they didn't show fricking Ray Davies set during the closing ceremonies at the London Olympics.
	10:40am Cecile: I was happy they didn't cut away from Jorge, et al at the London Olympics. I mean, it was less than ten minutes.
	♥ 10:40am βrian: Cucurrucucu!
	♥ 10:41am common: joe! all!
	♥ 10:42am Joe McG: Hey, common! Did I already tell you Liz's shirt looks great? If I didn't, I am now.
	10:43am yvang: Bashung is great. He had made a record with Gainsbourg.
	♥ 10:43am Joe McG: @yvang: He was around a long time. He may still be, for all I know!
	🎸 ♥ 10:45am Ken From Hyde Park: When Beavis and Butt-head was on the air, they sang "Good bye to poo!" Hoo boy.
	10:45am Cecile: amazing how the band that made this fun single and video made the bloated and unintentionally hilarious Warrior.
	🎸 ♥ 10:46am Brian in UK: @Ken it is not clever and it is not grown up. Now tidy up the pencils and bring them to the front of the class.
	10:47am Dennis Diken: nice show Joe. I dug that Lee Raymond cut
	10:48am cee: some pretty soul crushing songs this morning
	♥ 10:48am Joe McG: Hey Dennis, thanks for tuning in! Nice little light psyche record, no?
	♥ 10:50am annie: such a great selection of music this morning joe
	♥ 10:50am MD: I LOVE THE REGRET/DEPRESSION COUNTRY SONG! THEY ALWAYS MAKE ME HAPPY!!!! SICK I KNOW!
	♥ 10:51am βrian: Another 10 c.c. of silly ought to do it ...
	♥ 10:51am Joe McG: Why, thanks cee and annie! @MD: You so sick! :)
	♥ 10:51am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Lake Bro Joe!
	♥ 10:52am Rev. Turnip Druid: ZUP.
	♥ 10:52am Joe McG: @Greg: Now, wasn't that just the funnest time ever? @Rev: Hey, Rev!
	♥ 10:53am Marcel M: Woahhhhhh Bauhaus cover. Never heard this.
	♥ 10:53am βrian: @MD: I bet you'd like "You Never Even Called Me by My Name" (Goodman and Prine)
	♥ 10:54am annie: @brian- one of my all-time favorites
	♥ 10:54am Joe McG: @Marcel: Really? Didn't know Bauhaus covered this.
	♥ 10:55am Marcel M: @Joe: I thought they did the original!
	♥ 10:56am Marcel M: You learned me something new, Joe!
	♥ 10:56am Joe McG: @Marcel: It's a song that certainly suits them! But Cale wrote it.
	♥ 10:56am Rev. Turnip Druid: Only ever heard th'Bauhaus, myself... I done learned what Marcel learned.
	♥ 11:02am βrian: Hmm, someone ought to do a Steve Goodman show.
	11:03am Lewis: thats a pretty good scratch... ala Pierre Bastien
	♥ 11:03am Whosondephone: I think it was doing that last night. CD Player 2.
	♥ 11:03am Whosondephone: I didn't appreciate it.
	♥ 11:04am Whosondephone: over the intimate music.
	11:06am Cecile: she prolly sold more records than Patti Smith, so I think it turned out OK for her.
	🎸 ♥ 11:06am ChrisB.: I'm saving my marathon premium discs to enjoy on the 4 1/2 hour ride up to Cooperstown this Friday.
	♥ 11:10am βrian: You ought to have a honku competition.
	♥ 11:13am Marcel M: Looking forward to this!
	♥ 11:13am annie: hey ChrisB, say hi to Larry for me if he's showing his face...
	♥ 11:15am Joe McG: Doug's website: www.douglaskatelus.com...
	11:15am bobdoesthings: this is cooooooool
	♥ 11:16am Rev. Turnip Druid: Having flashbacks to my sweet departed Optigan™ some 30 years ago. [heavy sigh]... There must have been an organ disc that loaded a similar sound. Lovely stuff, this.
	♥ 11:16am Joe McG: And bandcamp page: soloorgan.bandcamp.com...
	11:16am steve: thanks Joe, love this guy!
	♥ 11:16am Whosondephone: I want an organ.
	♥ 11:16am Mike East: sorry, missed the intro. Is this on the studio's Lowery organ or did the artist bring in their own instrument?
	11:17am doncaballero: This is such good stuff. Love the Floyd cover of Atom Heart Mother that he does!
	♥ 11:17am Joe McG: @Mike: Yes, this is on our studio organ. You'll hear at one point that he starts putting matchbooks in the keys.
	♥ 11:18am Mike East: Awesome!
	11:18am doncaballero: Nice, he has a Bandcamp page. I had to find, er, certain methods to capture this stuff from Soundcloud and download it.
	♥ 11:18am Mike East: Oops...clearly written right there <---
	11:19am Wild Neil: @Rev Turnip-saw an Optigan in a music store in summer of 2000 in Ann Arbor...could you just write your own discs? I always wondered if that would work....
	♥ 11:21am βrian: I was in Ann Arbor then ...
	🎸 ♥ 11:22am Brian in UK: @βrian anyone who had a record label called Red Pyjamas has my vote. Mr Goodman was a good man.
	♥ 11:22am Joe McG: @donc: I recommend you pick it up if you see the LP. It's a keeper and it's also on lovely blue vinyl.
	🎸 ♥ 11:23am Brian in UK: @Joe matchbooks unlike Keith Emerson with knives.
	11:23am Wild Neil: @Brian-I had an engineering internship at Visteon in Monroe Michigain...and lived in an apt. tower next to a tiny little Dutch Reformed Church...
	♥ 11:23am Rev. Turnip Druid: @Neil: Dunno about writing your own discs from scratch, but there was a certain thing with glitching existing discs. Loved that instrument.
	♥ 11:24am Rev. Turnip Druid: Mrs. Druid is from nearby Livonia, MI -- Thus I've had reason to discover the outstanding vinyl shopping in Ann Arbor...
	♥ 11:24am Joe McG: I'll post some pics on the playlist after the show. As usual, I forgot to upload them.
	11:25am Wild Neil: Ann Arbor is just a cool university town in many respects!
	♥ 11:27am Rev. Turnip Druid: DIGGING.
	♥ 11:27am βrian: It's just not the same without the Del Rio, though ...
	11:27am Davis: this really sounds like my lowry holiday with magic genie. my new axe
	11:28am Davis: but if it is one, how did he get it in the studio? weighs a ton and is massive
	♥ 11:29am Joe McG: @Davis: We have one that a generous listener donated.
	11:29am Cecile: brian, ITA.
	11:30am Davis: thats great Joe, cool donation
	♥ 11:31am fred: @Wild Neil: it's analog, so I guess writing your own would be feasible. But you would need the right equipment, I don't think a regular lathe would do the job, even with the right disc material
	11:32am bobdoesthings: Wiggwaum - soundcloud.com...
	♥ 11:32am Joe McG: Thanks, bob, you're way ahead of me!
	11:34am bobdoesthings: @joe - no problem ALSO - Vimeo - vimeo.com...
	11:36am Wild Neil: @Fred-my understanding is that the waveform is printed on a clear acetate or mylar...it could be drafted carefully AutoCAD or even by hand and then printed on acetate in a regular printer if it can handle acetate....
	♥ 11:36am Joe McG: Many thanks to Doug for coming and playing on the show!
	11:37am steve: arent Optigan discs just clear plastic discs with patterns etched onto them in black, passing or blocking light? i dont seen any reason you couldnt make your own with the right tools...
	11:37am Davis: it was great
	♥ 11:37am Rev. Turnip Druid: Neil: Yep -- I think the whole glitching thing might be as simple as "editing" the concentric circular bands with marks via sharpie/permanent marker... I never had the nerve since mine was pre-internet & didn't know if I'd ever find more discs..
	♥ 11:39am Rev. Turnip Druid: thus, loading a disc upside down would make a reverse-gate effect, playing sounds backwards, etc...
	♥ 11:39am Joe McG: Look for the session on the FMA in a couple of weeks.
	🎸 ♥ 11:39am Brian in UK: I remember Richards Youngs playing a stunning set on the Lowery. wfmu.org...
	11:39am Wild Neil: @Steve-the plastic I saw was maybe .005" (5 mils) and it was merely printed. I'm willing to bet there are performance limitations on waveforms that are too "Radical" to output...which would be interesting to hear! Interesting sysesthesic problem! I wonder if you could load DaVinci drawings and play them? Probably only one wave at a time permitted.....
	♥ 11:41am Whosondephone: God this sounds so good at the shop.
	♥ 11:41am Joe McG: @Brian: Yes, that session is a gem!
	♥ 11:41am fred: @Neil: I doubt a regular printer would handle acetate. A sharpie would do the job for glitches but not much control there. And I thought about that (playing pictures) too. Probably would sound like a big mess, but it could be interesting. Many people do that with digital pics after all
	11:43am Wild Neil: @Fred-you can....see this...www.staples.com...
	♥ 11:44am Marcel M: OSCILLATIONS! Really dug that Solo Organ.
	♥ 11:45am βrian: @BUK: Are you growing sweet corn, at all? We're utterly awash in corn and tomatoes. Dreamy!
	♥ 11:47am fred: @Neil: nice... I guess you could then affix that to a clear disc so that it can be put into the Optigan...
	♥ 11:50am Goatpuncher: Groovy!
	11:50am mary: is minami deutsch a michael rother project? neu!-ish
	♥ 11:51am fred: Minami Deutsch seems to have a Europe tour coming next month! Unlikely to stop in my backwater area though @mary: they're Japanese
	♥ 11:52am Joe McG: @mary: Certainly inspired by him! A guy named Kyotaro Miula is behind it. They're Japanese.
	11:52am mary: thanks... I shall search
	🎸 ♥ 11:53am Brian in UK: @βrian Yes we are but were very late planting so a poor crop is likely. No a big fan of corn myself but the chooks will vacuum it up.
	11:53am Clay: Joe, so good to see you at the lake. Enjoyed hearing your laughter ring out repeatedly during the screening of Patrick Swayze's "Roadhouse." Great show today!
	11:54am Wild Neil: TWO clicky stars in a row! Silver Apples and Minami Deutsch...Cool! @Fred-I did not know it had a hard plastic disk, my bad....memory is faulty sometimes...but I feel a LOT better taking B12 supplements now, no pains and aches not as tired....
	♥ 11:54am Joe McG: @Clay: What a pleasure to hang out with such nice people! Glad we had that moment.
	11:54am bobdoesthings: great show Joe! Thanks!!
	♥ 11:55am Jeff Golick: Thanks, Joe! This Nels Cline record is very fine.
	♥ 11:55am Marcel M: Thanks Joe, loved this whole last set.
	🎸 ♥ 11:55am Brian in UK: Is there ever a bad show? Rhetorical comment. Hope everyone has an easy week.
	♥ 11:56am Joe McG: Thanks, bob! I hope everyone had a nice time today. Thanks for listening and commenting, everyone! Have a great week!
	♥ 11:57am βrian: @BUK: Really? Hereabouts, we have sweet corn in our blood. (And an ample supply of dental floss, naturally.)
	♥ 11:57am fred: @Neil: don't take my word on this, I have never seen one!
	🎸 ♥ 11:58am Brian in UK: @βrian but the body cannot process it.
	♥ 11:58am βrian: A little movie-music-ish, no? I've always been a sucker for the stuff.
	♥ 11:59am βrian: @BUK: "This too shall pass."
