	🎸 ♥ 3:21pm Uncle Michael: I'm loathe to cloud the punchbowl, but there is one, well-known version of W.L. that gets on my wick. I won't call it out even if Scott plays it.
	3:22pm Cecile: You have Pizza Ranches in New Jersey?

	♥ 3:23pm Greg from ZONE 5: Oh, hell yes.
	3:24pm Cecile: Ha! I knew it. It's more of a Midwestern thing.
	3:24pm D. Lightfoot: Muzak-esque version reminds me of walking around Kmart to buy Matchbox cars and frozen Cokes as a kid.
	3:24pm choggie: Now do a punk version!
	3:25pm Cecile: My friend who worked as an installer for Century Link, started singing "I am a splicer for the ci-tyyyyy"
	♥ 3:26pm AndyIowa: Hey, hey Scott and fellow 'FMUers! I don't think I've ever commented on your show's playlist, so remedying that... just started a new job in the city today, glad to have your show as part of the day. See ya for another volunteer shift soon!
	♥ 3:26pm Tommy in Neversink: Oh man ....it was the ultimate thrill everything I added a matchbox car to my collection..I got the matchbox city for X-mass so I had a place to drive them
	3:26pm Cecile: My dad was a lineman for the Marines. Not only does it not scan, but the work gave him miserable varicose veins.
	🎸 ♥ 3:27pm Jeff: Hey, what happened? Did Jimmy Webb die?
	♥ 3:27pm Tommy in Neversink: Love this Scott
	3:27pm JakeGould: For anyone who cares, the Housing Works thrift store on 5th Avenue and Garfield Place in Park Slope (Brooklyn) has a few dozen dead stock 1970s Glen Campbell posters up for sale for $10'a pop. Also 5th Dimension and David Cassidy posters too.

	3:35pm virgin: im more of a sphereman myself, but im still diggin the jamz
	♥ 3:35pm Will from Seattle: this whole set's gonna make me cry at work if you're not careful
	♥ 3:37pm Whosondephone: now I'm f****** depressed.
	3:37pm steve: this song makes me long for a quiet, lonesome place in the rural midwest that i've never been to.
	3:37pm Cecile: YES!
	♥ 3:37pm Will from Seattle: oh man almost forgot about Dennis Brown's version
	♥ 3:38pm JP from KC: I'm also a bit partial to the Johnny Cash version. Nobody does that weary, blue collar, everyman kind of sound quite like he does.
	3:38pm Cecile: It's like a York Peppermint Patty singing. Smooth and cool.
	3:39pm Chris from DC: This is cool.
	3:40pm Mrs McGreivey: I never knew there were dio many Wichita linemen.
	3:40pm D. Lightfoot: Dio did it too?
	3:41pm Mike: Johnny Cash did an absolutely heartwrenching version of this song.
	3:41pm MONEYBAG$: It was the b-side of Rainbow in the Dark
	3:42pm Cecile: Wichita Lineman of Evil.
	♥ 3:42pm Will from Seattle: REM covered it too www.youtube.com...
	♥ 3:43pm JP from KC: "I am a Lineman for the county.... and I ride the tiger on these main roads...."
	3:45pm Cecile: AHAHAHHAHAH, awesome JP from KC.
	🎸 ♥ 3:49pm Rev. Turnip Druid: In honor of RTD BIRTHDAY over the weekend, caught a midnight screening of th'Favorite Movie Ever (jodorowsky's Santa Sangre), so now I've got Perez Prado's mambo sounds in my head. If you decide to head in that direction some day...
	3:51pm McGreivey: I figured you'd do 2:59:00 of linemanziz.
	♥ 3:53pm Scott Williams: REV! Happy b'day to you, sir!
	3:54pm steve: hbd Rev!!
	3:55pm Chris from DC: What they said.
	🎸 ♥ 3:57pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Love all the Jodorowsky stuff but that one destroys my head every time. Mambo no.8 echoing into the grey matter...
	🎸 ♥ 4:06pm Rev. Turnip Druid: this will do nicely.
	♥ 4:09pm northguineahills: Fairport!
	4:10pm D. Lightfoot: Anne Briggs next
	🎸 ♥ 4:10pm chris: hi there. late. sorry to have missed the linemen. not too late to wish th'Rev a happy b-day, though... happy day, Rev!
	4:11pm Cecile: Is one of the guys from Steeleye Span singing this song? I mean before he went to Steeleye Span?
	4:11pm Cecile: Happy Anniversary of Your Natal Day, Rev.
	4:13pm the Canterbury wood-elf: i know what you mean, Cecile, but it's Dave Swarbrick singing here (never in Steeleye Span). Ashley Hutchings was in the original Fairport and went on to found Steeleye.
	🎸 ♥ 4:14pm Rev. Turnip Druid: yeh, Cecile I was thinking Tim Hart maybe (from steeleye); I was reminded of the Hart & Maddy Prior material for a second..
	🎸 ♥ 4:14pm Rev. Turnip Druid: & cheers Chris & C..
	♥ 4:14pm doctorjazz: Happy Birthday Rev!
	4:17pm melinda: Hi folks
	4:18pm Cecile: Who's playing violin? Don Harris?
	♥ 4:19pm Scott Williams: @Cecile: Bobby Notkoff
	4:19pm Cecile: Ok, I'll have to look him up.
	🎸 ♥ 4:22pm joe mulligan: I dont know why but I just thought about Einsturzende Neubaten doing an album of rockabilly
	🎸 ♥ 4:27pm Rev. Turnip Druid: those toms.... I smell a Roland TR-505.
	4:28pm steve: i totally thought this was Bryan Ferry
	4:32pm Chris from DC: Oh shoot, Crescent is back?
	♥ 4:33pm Carmichael: @RTD, when was your birthday? Mine was Saturday. Leos rule.
	4:33pm βrian: Oh no, not the listies!
	4:36pm Chris from DC: YES!
	4:36pm the Canterbury wood-elf: No way, it's the Safety Dance!
	4:36pm JakeGould: Is it safe 2 dance?
	♥ 4:37pm Fuzzy: The good version.
	🎸 ♥ 4:37pm Rev. Turnip Druid: @carm: saturday here as well. Alfred Hitchcock is therefore our patron saint.
	♥ 4:37pm Carmichael: @RTD, yes! And George Hamilton.
	🎸 ♥ 4:38pm Rev. Turnip Druid: whoops, strike that. it was sunday. I blame the beersies.
	♥ 4:39pm Carmichael: Totally understandable. A microbrewery was by chance next door to my hotel, so it was indeed a lost weekend.
	4:40pm J Dream: Aw man, I missed Wayne Rogers! He IS a ripper. Major Stars!
	🎸 ♥ 4:44pm chris: Ego Swim making the puppers go crazy. me likey much more than he.
	4:44pm Chris from DC: Also infinite yes for Cabaret Voltaire.
	🎸 ♥ 4:56pm Rev. Turnip Druid: GAH, nice. Haven't played my Tapper yet. Spoiler alert. Very yay.
	5:07pm Cecile: I'm on the fence about this Childish album. I just think he sings too hard on this.
	5:07pm J Dream: So, this is Childish Gambino
	5:08pm ike: Kubikov = sparkly cave music on very nice planet <3
	♥ 5:10pm Scott Williams: FINALLY listened to the Childish Gambino today - I love it, total heirs to Funkadelic
	5:12pm Cecile: I should listen to it more than the couple of times I did. It sounded kind of derivative, and I wasn't wild about his singing a lot of the time. Maybe some time (and a good opinion from someone with great taste) will change my mind.
	5:14pm ike: Those "your mama" jokes you like are coming back into style.
	♥ 5:14pm Rory: This kush I'm smoking is going for nicely with this wonderful synth stuff. Great show Scott!
	🎸 ♥ 5:16pm chris: totally looking forward to the release of that Moondog doc... on pins and needles over here!
	♥ 5:17pm Greg from ZONE 5: @ike: I still prefer The Dozens.
	🎸 ♥ 5:18pm Jeff: When she sits around the house, she sits AROUND THE HOUSE.
	🎸 ♥ 5:19pm chris: aw man, my teenage son turned me onto Childish Gambino a few years ago with this Gondry-esque video www.youtube.com...
	♥ 5:22pm common: Scott, all
	♥ 5:23pm Greg from ZONE 5: Jeff, your mama is so ugly she could make an onion cry.
	5:23pm steve: From "Ya Mama" by the Pharcyde Your mom is so fat (How fat is she?) Your mama is so big and fat that she can get busy With twenty-two burritos, but times are rough I seen her in the back of Taco Bell with handcuffs
	5:24pm steve: wonder how many good yo mama based rap songs there are
	♥ 5:27pm Rory: Save the whales! Oh, funky momma, save the whales...
	♥ 5:27pm TDK60: Paul Roessler?! Wow, forgot about him. Saw him open for Black Flag, circa '86.
	5:27pm Cecile: Is this Kira singing?
	🎸 ♥ 5:28pm Rev. Turnip Druid: I didn't witness much YO MAMA jokes in youth ('70s) -- Seemed like folks would just toss "YER MOM" back & forth, as if it was the most offensive thing possible. It was damned funny.
	♥ 5:29pm Scott Williams: @Cecile, it's Michelle Bell
	5:29pm Cecile: thanks!
	🎸 ♥ 5:31pm Rev. Turnip Druid: I was once informed by a recess tough-guy "YER MAMA WEARS COMBAT BOOTS" -- which I agreed with, since she had served in the Army. Nothing shatters the brains of a bully quite like agreeing with him. Psychological warfare wins the day.
	♥ 5:32pm Rory: Couldn't agree more with that @Rev.
	♥ 5:33pm Rory: I used to have so much fun messing with the bullies heads.
	5:36pm steve: great advice Rev
	♥ 5:37pm northguineahills: Metal Rouge has a nice Roy Montgomery vibe going for it.
	🎸 ♥ 5:39pm chris: i wish i was that advanced as a kiddo. having had anger management issues, i just fought the bullies. :(
	5:40pm norton: Is Sam Segal on tonight
	🎸 ♥ 5:41pm Rev. Turnip Druid: @chris: oh there was plenty of attempted murder... but once in a while, bizarre crafty weirdness won the day.
	♥ 5:46pm Rory: I was terrible as a kid I always had fun fucking with people. My parents and siblings suffered the worst. My doctor just said it was a part of my Asperger's.
	🎸 ♥ 5:49pm chris: yay for bizarre crafty weirdness! and this set of gems. this Message track is killer.
	♥ 5:49pm coelacanth∅: (i primarily messed with the adults)
	♥ 5:50pm Rory: I did a book report on the Sade's Philosophy in the Boudoir. Just to get a reaaction out my teacher and classmates. Great show Scott!
	5:52pm Konfuzed: This don't sound like Richie Sambora
	🎸 ♥ 5:52pm chris: i liked messing with adults, too. there was one coworker of my dad who was the big cop in the park where my dad worked. he had lost an eye on the job, so always wore a patch. he messed with me at a party one time, and i asked him if he spelled his last name with one 'i' or two. there was a deadly silence that came over the crowd until he laughed and declared me the winner. i guess that may count as crafty weirdness...
	♥ 5:54pm Carmichael: This is hippie goodness!
	♥ 5:55pm People Like Us: got a light?
	♥ 5:55pm coelacanth∅: haha chris! classic.
	♥ 5:55pm Scott Williams: Thanks for the hang today, everyone! Any last Ya Mama jokes before we go?
	♥ 5:56pm Scott Williams: @PLU !!!!!!!! you bet I do
	♥ 5:56pm northguineahills: Good stuff, Scott!
	♥ 5:57pm Scott Williams: Everyone, stick around for Do Or DIY - People Like Us can really light your F-I-R-E
	♥ 5:57pm People Like Us: I do!
	🎸 ♥ 5:57pm joe mulligan: great show Scott!
	♥ 5:58pm coelacanth∅: i once said "your mm...." (i stopped myself) to a friend, a self-professed mama's boy, who'd just lost his mom a few months before. that was the last your mom, or yo mama joke for me.
	5:58pm steve: good times...
	♥ 5:58pm Greg from ZONE 5: George Wallace is the King of the Mama Joke. IMHO. Thanks, Scott!
	🎸 ♥ 5:59pm chris: tell ya mamas hi for me, and tell her i'm gonna be a bit late tonight. thanks, Scott!
	10:09pm raga: Ahoy! I was about to say that Dean Hurley's, "Electricity I" sounds a lot like the electric crackling in the new Twin Peaks but then the innertubes informed me that it was no coincidence.
	2:38am tahomajohn: Great show! my fave Wichita Lineman is the instrumental Moto Gators https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjPEMTOiwUQ Adios, Glenn!

	3:32pm Cooh John: Keep it coming, Scott. Not tired of singing this one out loud.
	🎸 ♥ 3:32pm Jeff: Oh yeah, @Uncle Michael: you've already covered that one.
	♥ 3:34pm The Oscar: This has been perfect, and that playlist is a thing of beauty. Thanks!
	3:35pm virgin: im more of a sphereman myself, but im still diggin the jamz
	♥ 3:35pm Will from Seattle: this whole set's gonna make me cry at work if you're not careful
	♥ 3:37pm Whosondephone: now I'm f****** depressed.
	3:37pm steve: this song makes me long for a quiet, lonesome place in the rural midwest that i've never been to.
	3:37pm Cecile: YES!
	♥ 3:37pm Will from Seattle: oh man almost forgot about Dennis Brown's version
	♥ 3:38pm JP from KC: I'm also a bit partial to the Johnny Cash version. Nobody does that weary, blue collar, everyman kind of sound quite like he does.
	3:38pm Cecile: It's like a York Peppermint Patty singing. Smooth and cool.
	3:39pm Chris from DC: This is cool.
	3:40pm Mrs McGreivey: I never knew there were dio many Wichita linemen.
	3:40pm D. Lightfoot: Dio did it too?
	3:41pm Mike: Johnny Cash did an absolutely heartwrenching version of this song.
	3:41pm MONEYBAG$: It was the b-side of Rainbow in the Dark
	3:42pm Cecile: Wichita Lineman of Evil.
	♥ 3:42pm Will from Seattle: REM covered it too www.youtube.com...
	♥ 3:43pm JP from KC: "I am a Lineman for the county.... and I ride the tiger on these main roads...."
	3:45pm Cecile: AHAHAHHAHAH, awesome JP from KC.
	🎸 ♥ 3:49pm Rev. Turnip Druid: In honor of RTD BIRTHDAY over the weekend, caught a midnight screening of th'Favorite Movie Ever (jodorowsky's Santa Sangre), so now I've got Perez Prado's mambo sounds in my head. If you decide to head in that direction some day...
	3:51pm McGreivey: I figured you'd do 2:59:00 of linemanziz.
	♥ 3:53pm Scott Williams: REV! Happy b'day to you, sir!
	3:54pm steve: hbd Rev!!
	3:55pm Chris from DC: What they said.
	🎸 ♥ 3:57pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Love all the Jodorowsky stuff but that one destroys my head every time. Mambo no.8 echoing into the grey matter...
	🎸 ♥ 4:06pm Rev. Turnip Druid: this will do nicely.
	♥ 4:09pm northguineahills: Fairport!
	4:10pm D. Lightfoot: Anne Briggs next
	🎸 ♥ 4:10pm chris: hi there. late. sorry to have missed the linemen. not too late to wish th'Rev a happy b-day, though... happy day, Rev!
	4:11pm Cecile: Is one of the guys from Steeleye Span singing this song? I mean before he went to Steeleye Span?
	4:11pm Cecile: Happy Anniversary of Your Natal Day, Rev.
	4:13pm the Canterbury wood-elf: i know what you mean, Cecile, but it's Dave Swarbrick singing here (never in Steeleye Span). Ashley Hutchings was in the original Fairport and went on to found Steeleye.
	🎸 ♥ 4:14pm Rev. Turnip Druid: yeh, Cecile I was thinking Tim Hart maybe (from steeleye); I was reminded of the Hart & Maddy Prior material for a second..
	🎸 ♥ 4:14pm Rev. Turnip Druid: & cheers Chris & C..
	♥ 4:14pm doctorjazz: Happy Birthday Rev!
	4:17pm melinda: Hi folks
	4:18pm Cecile: Who's playing violin? Don Harris?
	♥ 4:19pm Scott Williams: @Cecile: Bobby Notkoff
	4:19pm Cecile: Ok, I'll have to look him up.
	🎸 ♥ 4:22pm joe mulligan: I dont know why but I just thought about Einsturzende Neubaten doing an album of rockabilly
	🎸 ♥ 4:27pm Rev. Turnip Druid: those toms.... I smell a Roland TR-505.
	4:28pm steve: i totally thought this was Bryan Ferry
	4:32pm Chris from DC: Oh shoot, Crescent is back?
	♥ 4:33pm Carmichael: @RTD, when was your birthday? Mine was Saturday. Leos rule.
	4:33pm βrian: Oh no, not the listies!
	4:36pm Chris from DC: YES!
	4:36pm the Canterbury wood-elf: No way, it's the Safety Dance!
	4:36pm JakeGould: Is it safe 2 dance?
	♥ 4:37pm Fuzzy: The good version.
	🎸 ♥ 4:37pm Rev. Turnip Druid: @carm: saturday here as well. Alfred Hitchcock is therefore our patron saint.
	♥ 4:37pm Carmichael: @RTD, yes! And George Hamilton.
	🎸 ♥ 4:38pm Rev. Turnip Druid: whoops, strike that. it was sunday. I blame the beersies.
	♥ 4:39pm Carmichael: Totally understandable. A microbrewery was by chance next door to my hotel, so it was indeed a lost weekend.
	4:40pm J Dream: Aw man, I missed Wayne Rogers! He IS a ripper. Major Stars!
	🎸 ♥ 4:44pm chris: Ego Swim making the puppers go crazy. me likey much more than he.
	4:44pm Chris from DC: Also infinite yes for Cabaret Voltaire.
	🎸 ♥ 4:56pm Rev. Turnip Druid: GAH, nice. Haven't played my Tapper yet. Spoiler alert. Very yay.
	5:07pm Cecile: I'm on the fence about this Childish album. I just think he sings too hard on this.
	5:07pm J Dream: So, this is Childish Gambino
	5:08pm ike: Kubikov = sparkly cave music on very nice planet <3
	♥ 5:10pm Scott Williams: FINALLY listened to the Childish Gambino today - I love it, total heirs to Funkadelic
	5:12pm Cecile: I should listen to it more than the couple of times I did. It sounded kind of derivative, and I wasn't wild about his singing a lot of the time. Maybe some time (and a good opinion from someone with great taste) will change my mind.
	5:14pm ike: Those "your mama" jokes you like are coming back into style.
	♥ 5:14pm Rory: This kush I'm smoking is going for nicely with this wonderful synth stuff. Great show Scott!
	🎸 ♥ 5:16pm chris: totally looking forward to the release of that Moondog doc... on pins and needles over here!
	♥ 5:17pm Greg from ZONE 5: @ike: I still prefer The Dozens.
	🎸 ♥ 5:18pm Jeff: When she sits around the house, she sits AROUND THE HOUSE.
	🎸 ♥ 5:19pm chris: aw man, my teenage son turned me onto Childish Gambino a few years ago with this Gondry-esque video www.youtube.com...
	♥ 5:22pm common: Scott, all
	♥ 5:23pm Greg from ZONE 5: Jeff, your mama is so ugly she could make an onion cry.
	5:23pm steve: From "Ya Mama" by the Pharcyde Your mom is so fat (How fat is she?) Your mama is so big and fat that she can get busy With twenty-two burritos, but times are rough I seen her in the back of Taco Bell with handcuffs
	5:24pm steve: wonder how many good yo mama based rap songs there are
	♥ 5:27pm Rory: Save the whales! Oh, funky momma, save the whales...
	♥ 5:27pm TDK60: Paul Roessler?! Wow, forgot about him. Saw him open for Black Flag, circa '86.
	5:27pm Cecile: Is this Kira singing?
	🎸 ♥ 5:28pm Rev. Turnip Druid: I didn't witness much YO MAMA jokes in youth ('70s) -- Seemed like folks would just toss "YER MOM" back & forth, as if it was the most offensive thing possible. It was damned funny.
	♥ 5:29pm Scott Williams: @Cecile, it's Michelle Bell
	5:29pm Cecile: thanks!
	🎸 ♥ 5:31pm Rev. Turnip Druid: I was once informed by a recess tough-guy "YER MAMA WEARS COMBAT BOOTS" -- which I agreed with, since she had served in the Army. Nothing shatters the brains of a bully quite like agreeing with him. Psychological warfare wins the day.
	♥ 5:32pm Rory: Couldn't agree more with that @Rev.
	♥ 5:33pm Rory: I used to have so much fun messing with the bullies heads.
	5:36pm steve: great advice Rev
	♥ 5:37pm northguineahills: Metal Rouge has a nice Roy Montgomery vibe going for it.
	🎸 ♥ 5:39pm chris: i wish i was that advanced as a kiddo. having had anger management issues, i just fought the bullies. :(
	5:40pm norton: Is Sam Segal on tonight
	🎸 ♥ 5:41pm Rev. Turnip Druid: @chris: oh there was plenty of attempted murder... but once in a while, bizarre crafty weirdness won the day.
	♥ 5:46pm Rory: I was terrible as a kid I always had fun fucking with people. My parents and siblings suffered the worst. My doctor just said it was a part of my Asperger's.
	🎸 ♥ 5:49pm chris: yay for bizarre crafty weirdness! and this set of gems. this Message track is killer.
	♥ 5:49pm coelacanth∅: (i primarily messed with the adults)
	♥ 5:50pm Rory: I did a book report on the Sade's Philosophy in the Boudoir. Just to get a reaaction out my teacher and classmates. Great show Scott!
	5:52pm Konfuzed: This don't sound like Richie Sambora
	🎸 ♥ 5:52pm chris: i liked messing with adults, too. there was one coworker of my dad who was the big cop in the park where my dad worked. he had lost an eye on the job, so always wore a patch. he messed with me at a party one time, and i asked him if he spelled his last name with one 'i' or two. there was a deadly silence that came over the crowd until he laughed and declared me the winner. i guess that may count as crafty weirdness...
	♥ 5:54pm Carmichael: This is hippie goodness!
	♥ 5:55pm People Like Us: got a light?
	♥ 5:55pm coelacanth∅: haha chris! classic.
	♥ 5:55pm Scott Williams: Thanks for the hang today, everyone! Any last Ya Mama jokes before we go?
	♥ 5:56pm Scott Williams: @PLU !!!!!!!! you bet I do
	♥ 5:56pm northguineahills: Good stuff, Scott!
	♥ 5:57pm Scott Williams: Everyone, stick around for Do Or DIY - People Like Us can really light your F-I-R-E
	♥ 5:57pm People Like Us: I do!
	🎸 ♥ 5:57pm joe mulligan: great show Scott!
	♥ 5:58pm coelacanth∅: i once said "your mm...." (i stopped myself) to a friend, a self-professed mama's boy, who'd just lost his mom a few months before. that was the last your mom, or yo mama joke for me.
	5:58pm steve: good times...
	♥ 5:58pm Greg from ZONE 5: George Wallace is the King of the Mama Joke. IMHO. Thanks, Scott!
	🎸 ♥ 5:59pm chris: tell ya mamas hi for me, and tell her i'm gonna be a bit late tonight. thanks, Scott!
	10:09pm raga: Ahoy! I was about to say that Dean Hurley's, "Electricity I" sounds a lot like the electric crackling in the new Twin Peaks but then the innertubes informed me that it was no coincidence.
	2:38am tahomajohn: Great show! my fave Wichita Lineman is the instrumental Moto Gators https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjPEMTOiwUQ Adios, Glenn!
