WFMU: Surface Noise with Joe McGasko: Playlist from May 5, 2013

Listener comments!
	12:07am KP: You're playing my song!
	👻 12:10am Ken From Hyde Park: Two things off the bat.... I saw in a newsstand tabloid today that Cher is seeing Gregg Allman again and I notice that some insurance company has an Allman Brothers song on a TV commercial.
	12:11am Droll: Ken, Damn straight!
	12:11am Chop Scott: OUCH! My high school band mates always wanted to play this song endlessly--then to go into Cream Crossroads. Yes, I grew up in the Mid-West! Cheers JOE!
	12:13am Joe McG: I kinda feel like playing this over and over. How many times can you take it?
	12:14am Dr. Goot: www.youtube.com...
	12:14am Holly in NC: Joe, do you have the mega Duane box (Skydog), & if so, your thoughts?
	12:15am Parq: Did you consider doing this with the live version?
	12:15am KP: You know there's a longer version out there somewhere.
	12:16am Chop Scott: I always had more fun way back then with The James Gang.
	12:16am Droll: Joe, Can you spin this backwards? There's also a smokin' version of FZ's band doing this with Bobby Martin singing.
	👻 12:16am Ken From Hyde Park: The commercial is for motorcycle insurance. Members of The Allman Brothers band died in motorcycle accidents. Have these advertisers no shame? Short memories, maybe.
	12:17am Joe McG: Ken, that's hilarious kind of.
	12:18am Mary Wing: Is this an early Mother's Day show, Joe? ;-P
	12:18am G: If you put this track on repeat, fairly soon WFMU and 104.3 will be playing the exact same song at the same moment, and the very universe will be cloven asunder.
	12:18am Joe McG: OK, you guys asked for it.
	12:19am Dr. Goot: images.channeladvisor.com...
	👻 12:19am 12539: Joe, you don't have enough time to play this more times than I heard it growing up. I think I've built up immunity.
	12:19am Droll: Bands have alcohol sponsors all the time, but alcohol has killed plenty o'rockers. Why not travel insurance for Buddy Holly?
	12:20am Dr. Goot: Nice
	12:20am fleep: Different whip, same post.
	12:21am Parq: Second that request for the FZ cover, by the way.
	12:22am Dr. Goot: >www.youtube.com...
	12:22am G: But on the evening's playlist, what could be post-Whipping Post?
	12:22am Joe McG: Wow, two requests for Frank Zappa. I might have to go look for it. BTW, G and fleep, you both just made me laugh.
	👻 12:22am Ken From Hyde Park: Dial up Station Manager Ken to get advice on how to slow down, speed up, or otherwise mess with songs.
	12:22am Droll: I think you need a playlist disclaimer that no Allmans have died.
	12:23am Joe McG: Droll, I think you have a good point there! NO ALLMAN BROTHERS HAVE DIED TO MY KNOWLEDGE.
	12:23am Joe McG: Incidentally, this version of "WP" is only 23 minutes long.
	👻 12:24am Ken From Hyde Park: There ought to be a mash-up of Whipping Post and Devo's Whip It out there.
	12:24am KP: Molly Hatchet's cover of "Dreams."
	12:25am Joe McG: @Ken: That's scary, I was wondering if I should follow this up with some DEVO. But I think G is right, "WP" is not to be followed.
	12:26am Joe McG: @Holly: Sorry I missed you up there! No, I don't have it! Many mountain jams, I imagine! @Chop Scott: Marching band version! Must find!
	12:26am KP: Except by another one.
	12:26am G: I thought this concert was at Merriweather Whipping Post Pavilion? Or was that the Animal Collective CD?
	👻 12:28am Ken From Hyde Park: Joe, let us know when it's time to raise our lighters up over our heads. (* Checks the kitchen drawer for a lighter. *)
	12:28am Chop Scott: I would suggest "Free Bird", or "Tuesday's Gone". I'm serious.
	12:30am Joe McG: Chop Scott, that is an excellent idea.
	12:30am KP: Uh oh this the live one. The Jersey City villagers are lighting torches as we speak
	12:30am Holly in NC: "Simple Man" gets my vote!
	12:30am Dr. Goot: www.youtube.com...
	12:31am Joe McG: Wow, this whipping post is getting a bit meandering....let's whip it up, boys!
	12:31am KP: This has a long solo solo
	12:31am G: Sometimes I feel Sometimes I feel like I been Tied to the whipping solo Tied to the whipping solo Tied to the whipping solo Good lord I feel like Im dyyyyin...
	12:31am Parq: Well, it was the end of the set.
	12:32am Droll: When I first uploaded this album cover as an avatar a few months ago I was sure I couldn't get more than 2 uses out of it... I presume this version is only 23 minutes long because that's all an album side will hold. The free-jazz-space-jam probably covered nights 5-9 of a month long residency.
	👻 12:33am Ken From Hyde Park: This is WFMU. Up next....Björk!
	12:34am Joe McG: The problem with watching the LP is that it's hard to tell how far along you are. We're getting close to two-thirds of the way, but boy oh boy....
	12:35am KP: I think this is where Duane plays Strangers in the Night with one hand while doing a somersault.
	12:36am G: For the first time in recorded history, Joe's plsylist will be shorter than Bryce's.
	12:36am Joe McG: @G: Hey, all I need is about 5 more half-hour versions and Bryce is so in trouble.
	12:37am Droll: Please say when it gets to the end you hit the reverse switch and we get another 23 minutes in reverse! Seriously, this will sound fantastic backwards!
	12:37am Parq: Okay, I admit it, I still love that transition out of the solo.
	12:37am G: Now just pop on a 35 minute bootleg of Yes doing Ritual with the extra extended bass sol.
	12:37am Joe McG: I really need to do my high school heavies show one of these days.
	12:39am Joe McG: @Droll: Great idea, but unfortunately I put the LP on TT1, which is not the backwards one. TT3 is, and half of the time, one channel pops out, so I rarely use it. I'll leave the stunt turntabling to Mary Wing, every Wednesday night/Thursday morning!
	👻 12:40am Ken From Hyde Park: There are some good riffs on In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed, if I recall.
	12:40am Droll: G, Chris always takes the long bass solo so the other Yes bandmembers can get some prog-fan booty during the break. They nned the first 25 minutes to look for a girl.
	12:40am Joe McG: The only bad thing about this version is that there isn't a long drum solo.
	12:40am Chop Scott: The Southern extended jam of Whipping Post directly leads towards the soup fully condensed -not to be so obvious, but c'mon--FREE BIRD. That is the song I wanna hear..
	12:41am G: Right after this, the members of ABB joined Noodlers Anonymous
	12:41am KP: I thought I saw Mary Wing around somewhere.
	12:42am G: @Droll: Huh, I thought it was so Rick had time to finish his chicken tikka masala and hit the loo for a quick dump
	12:42am Parq: Ken from HP. I have felt for 40 year that "Liz Reed" would make a good number for a jazz combo, with alto sax, piano and tenor sax standing in for the originals.
	12:42am KP: Not Free bird but maybe Show Me the Way/Free Bird.
	12:42am Chop Scott: JOE--I am so sorry...
	12:43am Parq: THA'K YEW, G'NIGHT!!"
	12:43am Holly in NC: Still voting for Simple Man.
	12:43am KP: Even I can't take Mountain Jam.
	12:44am Chop Scott: It is a great song, great recording. Thanks!
	12:44am G: [houselights go up] Ladies and gentlemen, Allmanns Has Left the Building!!!
	12:45am Joe McG: @Chop Scott: No, don't be! Great idea! @Holly: Hmm...maybe I'll play that, too! @G: The audience members are stumbling to the exits, drained but satisfied.
	12:46am G: This track is only listed as 7:32. PIKERS.
	12:47am Chop Scott: That's a Mellotron in this song!!
	12:47am G: Melltron? Pretty effete for the Gimme Three Steps boys.
	12:48am Holly in NC: Have to say this is crazy background music for reading Terminal Boredom archives (my current activity, no decent books at my current location)
	👻 12:49am Ken From Hyde Park: Some Molly Hatchet would be good for nexties.
	12:50am Lonely Planet Boy: Ed King was 3rd guitarist in this version of Skynyrd. He was also in Strawberry Alarm Clock. Odd combo.
	12:50am G: Incense and Whippingposts
	12:51am Droll: Strictly speaking, it's a Chamberlain. The version of the instrument safe for non-prog rockers. I never realized how enormous this arrangement is: 3-4 guitars, bass, drums, organ, Chamberlain...
	12:51am G: Three songs, 50 minutes
	12:53am KP: Ok my confession: Saw Allmans four times. Twice w/ Duane, once w/ berry after Duane, then the brothers & sisters version minus both. The I saw Mott the Hoople.
	12:54am Droll: I have that floatie pen!
	👻 12:57am 12539: .5 hr x 52 weeks = 26 hours
	12:58am G: For single file: James Brown songs with parts one and two, Dramatics In The Rain, etc. Remember when the jukebox people didn't want to place the Dramatics song in their machines b/c it was 6 or 7 minutes and they would lose some income?
	12:59am G: Someone slayed the Slayer dude.
	12:59am Parq: Hey, I remember Nitzinger! She's the drummer, Joe.
	12:59am Holly in NC: So no Slayer? ;-)
	1:00am Parq: They actually sort of kicked off my life long fondness for bands with girl drummers. Looking at you, Gories.
	1:00am Joe McG: @G: Oh yeah, I knew somebody died! The Slayer dude. Well, that's not my area. Diane will do something next week, I'm sure!
	1:01am fleep: Cowbell. Oh yes. Bathe me in cowbell.
	1:01am Matt from Springfield: Nixonger? Or maybe this is from their album "Nitzinger Shmitzinger"... Evenin' Joe and all cowbell swimmers!
	1:02am G: Joe's c. 1970 all-southern-rock extravaganza
	1:02am Lonely Planet Boy: KP:, Mott is one of my favorite bands. I listened to Brain Capers on my commute home yesterday.
	1:03am Holly in NC: Adam Yauch passed a year ago yesterday :-(
	1:03am Joe McG: @Matt: Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger formed Nixinger!
	1:03am fleep: It's surprising there aren't more cock fight songs.
	1:04am Matt from Springfield: @G: Wow, it is! And why the hell not!! :) Louisiana, there and Oklahoma I thought were the only two states that allow cockfighting. Peculiar to the "south central" U.S.!
	1:04am Droll: G, A 6-minute 45 is going to sound awful and wouldn't play without skipping in a jukebox with a 3-year old needle. The Slayer guy guitarist from complications of lifestyle. You almost never see that anymore.
	1:05am Joe McG: @fleep: I agree, we need more cockfight songs.
	1:05am Matt from Springfield: @Joe: The Southern Hard Rock Strategy! @fleep: This stuff sounds up Clay Pigeon's alley--he could look through obscure early 70s rock band LPs from OK and LA, I'm sure he could find some!
	1:07am Droll: I'm trying to imagine a rap, or electro-dance cockfight song... Nope. Er, I mean great open opportunity for the right band.
	1:07am Matt from Springfield: Oh man, too bad I'm alone here, this soundtrack is just begging to accompany a bar brawl! I may have to swing a chair at my houseplant soon!! ;)
	1:08am Joe McG: I saw one once in the Dominican Republic, it wasn't too pleasant.
	1:09am G: The man Twitter was named for. Little known fact.
	1:10am Joe McG: G: I almost believed you!
	1:10am KP: The proble was not the Allman Brothers in those days. It was the opening acts: Wet Wilie, .38 Special and god help us, Black Oak Arkansas.
	1:11am G: hahahahahahahaha, as if anyone involved in founding twitter had even heard of him!
	1:11am Matt from Springfield: "Pet Sounds" like saxophone and percussion! +9 Waylon!
	1:12am Joe McG: @Matt: You said it, my friend! @KP: I kind of like that .38 Special song that goes "Hold on loosely, but don't let go"!
	👻 1:13am Ken From Hyde Park: Hmmm...I see the Eta Aquarid meteor shower is going on the next couple of nights. I can flip on my car radio and listen outside. I don't think there are any clouds tonight. This meteor shower is dust from Halley's Comet.
	1:13am Matt from Springfield: Hey KP. The Empire (previously The Jaxx) is the nightclub right up the street from the house where I grew up. When Black Oak Arkansas played there about 10 years ago, the WaPo actually published an article for the occasion, referring to BOA as the guy at the high school reunion no one expected to still be around!
	1:14am G: willie turned 80 april 30th, sheesh!
	1:15am Joe McG: Damn, I missed the birthday tribute by a whole friggin' week!
	1:15am Holly in NC: @Joe - double dog dare ya to segue into Run DMC....
	1:16am Matt from Springfield: Oh well, you just rounded the BDay tribute later, than earlier!
	1:17am G: Everything since the Allman Brothers has been designed to make them look like a bunch of Yankees, because all the other artists are from much further south than Macon, GA.
	1:17am Joe McG: @Holly: I do not accept your double-dare!
	1:18am Holly in NC: All good this Kris K is great!
	1:18am KP: My wife has been to Jaxx, not me. i saw black oak arkansas upstate. There were four bands on bill, James Cotton (with Matt Murhpy), fantastic; Mark Almond Band, fantastic, JoJo Gunne, Ok. Black Oak Arkansas unbelievably horrible. There was nobody left, like six people with their legs over chairs in front of them. They did whole set, drum solo, throwing sticks into "crowd.' yeesh.
	1:20am KP: Jesse Colin Younger?
	1:20am Joe McG: @KP: Youngbloods references!
	1:24am Matt from Springfield: @KP: Blues Brother Matt "Guitar" Murphy? Sounds fantastic! But I guess BOA was put last to clear the audience out!
	1:25am Matt from Springfield: "She ain't Raquel - but what the hell! It's warm, and it's free"!
	1:25am Holly in NC: Bobby B :-)
	1:25am Matt from Springfield: What is this Hammie Nixon, Joe? "Jugpunk"? :)
	1:26am G: tappin' what thing????????????
	1:26am Chris in TX via RI: I think James Cotton may be the reason why I first bought a harmonica. Perhaps Paul Butterfield too.
	1:27am Lonely Planet Boy: Found the Nixon to go with the Nitzinger! Way to go, Joe McG.!
	1:27am Joe McG: @G: His jug, of course!
	1:29am Matt from Springfield: Century old blues x 60s/70s folk revival x modern indie revivalist = Karen Dalton! Great job Karen, esp on this production!
	1:30am Matt from Springfield: Oh, recorded in '66 -- but at least it was in a cabin! Probably on a reel-to-reel! 7"!
	1:31am b: Hey! I'm a big hair mustachioed man! You got a problem wit' dat?
	1:31am Holly in NC: Oh man, this sb in my mailbox when I get home, psyched! (yeti)
	1:32am Parq: I had a mustache once. For that matter, I had hair once. Also stamina. Good night, all.
	1:33am Matt from Springfield: Good ol' Shel, never a dull song in his catalogue! Mr. Bare is a great interpreter of Mr. Silverstein's material!
	1:33am Matt from Springfield: Good night Parq! Sleep on your upper lip, your mustache might grow back by tomorrow!
	1:34am b: So glad I missed Conway Twitty, can't put it into words.
	👻 1:35am 12539: Grass Roots?
	1:35am b: Little records, big holes! Little records, big holes!
	1:36am Joe McG: @b: I'm on the other side of the fence, b. I LOVES me some Harold Jenkins.
	1:36am b: Parq may be ex-mustachoied, but he's got awesome eyebrows!
	1:37am Joe McG: @12539: I don't think so....but maybe?
	1:38am Matt from Springfield: This is a fun sound from Bonnie Hayes!
	1:39am hal: Wow, this Bonnie Hayes song slays. Good looks, Joe
	1:39am Lonely Planet Boy: Just added Bonnie Hayes to my Rhapsody playlist. Soon to go to iTunes to purchase.
	1:39am Joe McG: Two points for whoever knows who this is. I played them last week for the first time.
	1:40am b: Simon & Garfunkel.
	1:40am Matt from Springfield: Is this the Simon & Garfunkel "Tom and Jerry"?!!
	1:40am Matt from Springfield: Was this a hard 45 to find?
	1:40am Joe McG: @Matt: Two points for Matt from Springfield!
	1:41am Lonely Planet Boy: Simon & Garfunkel. You're quick Matt!
	1:41am Joe McG: Oops, b beat you to it, Matt!
	1:41am G: The Sounds of Non-Silence
	1:41am b: I'll split the points with Matt anytime.
	1:42am Joe McG: @Matt: Not really, but it was at the bottom of a big stack of wrecked records. It's not in great shape, either, but it's cute to have.
	1:43am Matt from Springfield: The 33 startup amused me :) But I've known for a while about their teenage collab of that name, never heard how they sounded! But very generous of you to split, b! We'll take a point each, and I'll let LPB borrow mine next weekend! :)
	1:46am Lonely Planet Boy: Thanks, Matt.
	1:47am b: What a great title by Latimore!
	1:47am Matt from Springfield: Catchy disco, Wiki actually has an article on that one: "Frank Farian's assistant Hans-Jörg Mayer (aka Reyam) had discovered a popular Tunisian folkloric song, "Sidi Mansour" while on holiday, and rewrote the song into a disco track."
	1:48am G: clavinet alert.
	1:48am Holly in NC: Super Latimore
	1:49am Matt from Springfield: @B: Mos def! Though rednecks have certainly added some benefit to soul bands over the years. @LPB: I'm having my point framed, it will look real nice!
	1:49am b: Diggin the clavinet! Was just listening to Godley & Creme using it on "L" today.
	1:50am Matt from Springfield: I think we're due for a clavinet revival. The ball is in your court, bands!
	1:53am b: Got some Zevon comin'?
	1:54am fleep: Because clavinet: www.glidemagazine.com...
	1:54am Matt from Springfield: Shoo-be-doo-bop song! ♥ ♥ ♥
	1:54am Joe McG: @b: I should've brought my Lyme and Cybelle 45!
	1:55am G: complete with the backing arrangement from Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
	1:56am b: JANE! Good one, for a much-maligned group past their prime.
	1:56am Matt from Springfield: Whoa, I like this one! Didn't know it was the Starship! @G: Was that the exact same one? I've noticed them reusing backing tracks in those days.
	1:56am G: They were past their prime, past their second, and probably past their third :)
	1:57am Lonely Planet Boy: best Clavinet: Stevie's "Superstition" and whatever is on Elton's "Capt. Fantastic" LP.
	1:57am G: @Matt: Not the exact same, but pretty close in quite a few spots
	1:57am Joe McG: Lighters aloft, please.
	1:57am G: @LPB: Outta Space...
	1:58am KP: Just saw great Jefferson Airplane clip of them playing on a rooftop in NYC, early morning. Godard.
	1:58am Droll: Laugh all you want, this is the best sounding 45 of them all. A good mastering always stands out even on a worn disc. Does the station have Mother's Finest? That's some fine country-fried rock.
	1:59am b: I'll take Mickey Thomas's Starship over the baloney Marty Balin was putting out solo at the same time.
	2:00am Lonely Planet Boy: G:, you're absolutely right. Which I have on an A&M 45! Shoulda thought of that one.
	2:02am G: Loved that tune in the first half of 72, LPB. Had to listen to radio Luxembourg from my spot in the UK to hear it, till I ordered the 45 -- it wasn't on the UK charts or radio....
	2:02am b: Wow. Rance Allen can WAIL.
	2:04am b: And that will be good enough to send me off to bed for church in the morning. Another great half-hour of 45s Joe!
	2:05am Sean D. Daily: What's this playing behind you, Joe?
	2:06am Julie: aww I thought you were breathless from dancing
	2:07am G: Just ran back from the bathroom? :p
	2:08am Matt from Springfield: Hmm, Hindu Love Gods could be "Remzevon".
	2:08am b: Zevon on piano with HLGs.
	2:09am Matt from Springfield: Hi Julie! Is "Jane" up your alley, or is that era of Starship too late for your interest?
	👻 2:09am Ken From Hyde Park: Mission accomplished...I spotted a shooting star right at the end of Jane. I just now see that was by Jefferson Starship. That's a good omen, right?
	2:10am Matt from Springfield: G'night b! 45s nightcap!
	2:11am Matt from Springfield: Wow, JM in the PM for 1M! :)
	2:13am KP: See ya Matt!
	2:14am Julie: @Matt I confess I didn't hear it, I just got here. I will have to check it out.
	2:14am Matt from Springfield: NOOOO! No reggae Snoop! Marianne preferred! @KP: I was just saying g'night to b! :)
	2:15am Matt from Springfield: @Julie: It was very familiar to me, you've probably heard it before but didn't recognize without hearing it. Late 70s, but good solid rock.
	2:15am KP: Oh good. i felt so alone, as Johnny Thunders put it.
	2:16am Joe McG: @Sean: Sorry for the late reply: Kevin Ayers!
	2:19am Joe McG: @Matt: I'll try to get the Snoop and Marianne in before it's over!
	2:19am Sean D. Daily: @Joe McG: Thank you!
	2:20am That dude: Rain Parade = :)
	2:20am Matt from Springfield: @Joe: Oh, you! :) @KP: Worry not, I'm staying till the end tonight, and probably into the beginning of this live radio D&D special.
	2:21am KP: Oh this already sounds wondrous/ Rain Parade? Up my psychedelic alley.
	2:21am Matt from Springfield: That said, the Kinski was a great instrumental!
	2:22am KP: Live? Now i remember. Maybe should finish coffee.
	2:23am KP: Agree with matt on Kinski/
	2:24am Matt from Springfield: And I agree w/ KP on the Rain Parade! Must be a Paisley song.
	2:25am KP: Ian Paisley?
	2:25am G: Finnish coffee? Is that anything like Irish coffee? :p
	2:27am Julie: This band is so good, I gotta remember to give that cd a listen. Once again they remind me of Danielle Dax
	2:28am KP: Yeah it has Finlandia in it.
	2:29am Matt from Springfield: Finlandia "Finnish" coffee -- sounds like the next big thing! :)
	👻 2:32am Ken From Hyde Park: Geezer quiz: What is wow and flutter? If you based your turntable purchase based on wow and flutter, you might be an old geezer.
	2:32am KP: Stereolab reminds i saw the Tim Buckley/Jeff Buckley movie this week. It wasnut much of a movie but it got to me. I was told on Irene's board FMU helped out in making of it somewhat.
	2:33am KP: wasnut? And i edited that.
	2:34am Matt from Springfield: Whoa, this Marianne is even better than I anticipated! Early Indian-psych Scottish folk!
	2:34am KP: Tremendous.
	2:37am KP: Does Fairport do best known version of Dimming?
	2:39am Joe McG: @KP: Well, Richard and Linda recorded it originally.
	2:39am Matt from Springfield: Hooray Tom Jones, a pleasant surprise from his usual! Is the new album mainly low key, ballads like that?
	2:40am KP: Im getting my Richard Thompson phases mixed up.
	2:41am KP: Thanks for Gene Cark Meanwile. I ordered this some time ago. No sign
	2:41am G: He probably did too
	2:42am Joe McG: I have to do that Richard "Tribute" one of these days, BEFORE he dies.
	2:44am Matt from Springfield: Amen, Joe! I always enjoy a proper "pretribute"!
	2:45am theroth: Just wanted to say thanks Joe for getting the marathon swag out so quick! I love the Brenda Ray CD I won on your show. Thanks again!
	2:45am KP: Hey. I just saw RT. He was rockin. Gene sings on FBB version of this. And Roland White of Country Gazette, is the brother of later day Byrd Clarence White.
	2:46am G: RT turns 65 next april 3rd...
	2:47am Joe McG: I'll mark my calendar!
	2:50am KP: After a couple of songs guy next to me said did you come to see Emmy Lou or Richard (he was huge fan of RT). I said Emmy Lou. He ripped into a long intense version of Tear Stained Letter. i said, Richard Thompson.
	2:52am Matt from Springfield: Emmylou and Richard are wonderful, show sounds like a must see!
	2:52am Joe McG: @theroth: Oh, great, I'm glad you got some swag! We're sending out slow but sure, friends, if you haven't gotten yours yet.
	2:54am Matt from Springfield: WOW! So many legends of country and folk and rock tonight! Marvelous show Joe, this one gets a STAR! Thanks! :D
	2:56am Matt from Springfield: Have a good night everyone! Until next week, Joe!
	2:56am Joe McG: Thanks, Matt! Had a great time tonight. Have a good week everyone, see you next time!
	2:56am KP: Uh, when i saw her Emmy Lou went through almost all of her new and then unreleased album. Crowd got restless. But seeing her do those old GP songs with Rodney Crowell was special.
	2:57am fleep: Thanks, Joe!
	2:58am KP: Thanks, Joe. Always fun, educational and sometimes, emotional.
	2:58am KP: Good night, all.

Listener comments!
	12:07am KP: You're playing my song!
	👻 12:10am Ken From Hyde Park: Two things off the bat.... I saw in a newsstand tabloid today that Cher is seeing Gregg Allman again and I notice that some insurance company has an Allman Brothers song on a TV commercial.
	12:11am Droll: Ken, Damn straight!
	12:11am Chop Scott: OUCH! My high school band mates always wanted to play this song endlessly--then to go into Cream Crossroads. Yes, I grew up in the Mid-West! Cheers JOE!
	12:13am Joe McG: I kinda feel like playing this over and over. How many times can you take it?
	12:14am Dr. Goot: www.youtube.com...
	12:14am Holly in NC: Joe, do you have the mega Duane box (Skydog), & if so, your thoughts?
	12:15am Parq: Did you consider doing this with the live version?
	12:15am KP: You know there's a longer version out there somewhere.
	12:16am Chop Scott: I always had more fun way back then with The James Gang.
	12:16am Droll: Joe, Can you spin this backwards? There's also a smokin' version of FZ's band doing this with Bobby Martin singing.
	👻 12:16am Ken From Hyde Park: The commercial is for motorcycle insurance. Members of The Allman Brothers band died in motorcycle accidents. Have these advertisers no shame? Short memories, maybe.
	12:17am Joe McG: Ken, that's hilarious kind of.
	12:18am Mary Wing: Is this an early Mother's Day show, Joe? ;-P
	12:18am G: If you put this track on repeat, fairly soon WFMU and 104.3 will be playing the exact same song at the same moment, and the very universe will be cloven asunder.
	12:18am Joe McG: OK, you guys asked for it.
	12:19am Dr. Goot: images.channeladvisor.com...
	👻 12:19am 12539: Joe, you don't have enough time to play this more times than I heard it growing up. I think I've built up immunity.
	12:19am Droll: Bands have alcohol sponsors all the time, but alcohol has killed plenty o'rockers. Why not travel insurance for Buddy Holly?
	12:20am Dr. Goot: Nice
	12:20am fleep: Different whip, same post.
	12:21am Parq: Second that request for the FZ cover, by the way.
	12:22am Dr. Goot: >www.youtube.com...
	12:22am G: But on the evening's playlist, what could be post-Whipping Post?
	12:22am Joe McG: Wow, two requests for Frank Zappa. I might have to go look for it. BTW, G and fleep, you both just made me laugh.
	👻 12:22am Ken From Hyde Park: Dial up Station Manager Ken to get advice on how to slow down, speed up, or otherwise mess with songs.
	12:22am Droll: I think you need a playlist disclaimer that no Allmans have died.
	12:23am Joe McG: Droll, I think you have a good point there! NO ALLMAN BROTHERS HAVE DIED TO MY KNOWLEDGE.
	12:23am Joe McG: Incidentally, this version of "WP" is only 23 minutes long.
	👻 12:24am Ken From Hyde Park: There ought to be a mash-up of Whipping Post and Devo's Whip It out there.
	12:24am KP: Molly Hatchet's cover of "Dreams."
	12:25am Joe McG: @Ken: That's scary, I was wondering if I should follow this up with some DEVO. But I think G is right, "WP" is not to be followed.
	12:26am Joe McG: @Holly: Sorry I missed you up there! No, I don't have it! Many mountain jams, I imagine! @Chop Scott: Marching band version! Must find!
	12:26am KP: Except by another one.
	12:26am G: I thought this concert was at Merriweather Whipping Post Pavilion? Or was that the Animal Collective CD?
	👻 12:28am Ken From Hyde Park: Joe, let us know when it's time to raise our lighters up over our heads. (* Checks the kitchen drawer for a lighter. *)
	12:28am Chop Scott: I would suggest "Free Bird", or "Tuesday's Gone". I'm serious.
	12:30am Joe McG: Chop Scott, that is an excellent idea.
	12:30am KP: Uh oh this the live one. The Jersey City villagers are lighting torches as we speak
	12:30am Holly in NC: "Simple Man" gets my vote!
	12:30am Dr. Goot: www.youtube.com...
	12:31am Joe McG: Wow, this whipping post is getting a bit meandering....let's whip it up, boys!
	12:31am KP: This has a long solo solo
	12:31am G: Sometimes I feel Sometimes I feel like I been Tied to the whipping solo Tied to the whipping solo Tied to the whipping solo Good lord I feel like Im dyyyyin...
	12:31am Parq: Well, it was the end of the set.
	12:32am Droll: When I first uploaded this album cover as an avatar a few months ago I was sure I couldn't get more than 2 uses out of it... I presume this version is only 23 minutes long because that's all an album side will hold. The free-jazz-space-jam probably covered nights 5-9 of a month long residency.
	👻 12:33am Ken From Hyde Park: This is WFMU. Up next....Björk!
	12:34am Joe McG: The problem with watching the LP is that it's hard to tell how far along you are. We're getting close to two-thirds of the way, but boy oh boy....
	12:35am KP: I think this is where Duane plays Strangers in the Night with one hand while doing a somersault.
	12:36am G: For the first time in recorded history, Joe's plsylist will be shorter than Bryce's.
	12:36am Joe McG: @G: Hey, all I need is about 5 more half-hour versions and Bryce is so in trouble.
	12:37am Droll: Please say when it gets to the end you hit the reverse switch and we get another 23 minutes in reverse! Seriously, this will sound fantastic backwards!
	12:37am Parq: Okay, I admit it, I still love that transition out of the solo.
	12:37am G: Now just pop on a 35 minute bootleg of Yes doing Ritual with the extra extended bass sol.
	12:37am Joe McG: I really need to do my high school heavies show one of these days.
	12:39am Joe McG: @Droll: Great idea, but unfortunately I put the LP on TT1, which is not the backwards one. TT3 is, and half of the time, one channel pops out, so I rarely use it. I'll leave the stunt turntabling to Mary Wing, every Wednesday night/Thursday morning!
	👻 12:40am Ken From Hyde Park: There are some good riffs on In Memory Of Elizabeth Reed, if I recall.
	12:40am Droll: G, Chris always takes the long bass solo so the other Yes bandmembers can get some prog-fan booty during the break. They nned the first 25 minutes to look for a girl.
	12:40am Joe McG: The only bad thing about this version is that there isn't a long drum solo.
	12:40am Chop Scott: The Southern extended jam of Whipping Post directly leads towards the soup fully condensed -not to be so obvious, but c'mon--FREE BIRD. That is the song I wanna hear..
	12:41am G: Right after this, the members of ABB joined Noodlers Anonymous
	12:41am KP: I thought I saw Mary Wing around somewhere.
	12:42am G: @Droll: Huh, I thought it was so Rick had time to finish his chicken tikka masala and hit the loo for a quick dump
	12:42am Parq: Ken from HP. I have felt for 40 year that "Liz Reed" would make a good number for a jazz combo, with alto sax, piano and tenor sax standing in for the originals.
	12:42am KP: Not Free bird but maybe Show Me the Way/Free Bird.
	12:42am Chop Scott: JOE--I am so sorry...
	12:43am Parq: THA'K YEW, G'NIGHT!!"
	12:43am Holly in NC: Still voting for Simple Man.
	12:43am KP: Even I can't take Mountain Jam.
	12:44am Chop Scott: It is a great song, great recording. Thanks!
	12:44am G: [houselights go up] Ladies and gentlemen, Allmanns Has Left the Building!!!
	12:45am Joe McG: @Chop Scott: No, don't be! Great idea! @Holly: Hmm...maybe I'll play that, too! @G: The audience members are stumbling to the exits, drained but satisfied.
	12:46am G: This track is only listed as 7:32. PIKERS.
	12:47am Chop Scott: That's a Mellotron in this song!!
	12:47am G: Melltron? Pretty effete for the Gimme Three Steps boys.
	12:48am Holly in NC: Have to say this is crazy background music for reading Terminal Boredom archives (my current activity, no decent books at my current location)
	👻 12:49am Ken From Hyde Park: Some Molly Hatchet would be good for nexties.
	12:50am Lonely Planet Boy: Ed King was 3rd guitarist in this version of Skynyrd. He was also in Strawberry Alarm Clock. Odd combo.
	12:50am G: Incense and Whippingposts
	12:51am Droll: Strictly speaking, it's a Chamberlain. The version of the instrument safe for non-prog rockers. I never realized how enormous this arrangement is: 3-4 guitars, bass, drums, organ, Chamberlain...
	12:51am G: Three songs, 50 minutes
	12:53am KP: Ok my confession: Saw Allmans four times. Twice w/ Duane, once w/ berry after Duane, then the brothers & sisters version minus both. The I saw Mott the Hoople.
	12:54am Droll: I have that floatie pen!
	👻 12:57am 12539: .5 hr x 52 weeks = 26 hours
	12:58am G: For single file: James Brown songs with parts one and two, Dramatics In The Rain, etc. Remember when the jukebox people didn't want to place the Dramatics song in their machines b/c it was 6 or 7 minutes and they would lose some income?
	12:59am G: Someone slayed the Slayer dude.
	12:59am Parq: Hey, I remember Nitzinger! She's the drummer, Joe.
	12:59am Holly in NC: So no Slayer? ;-)
	1:00am Parq: They actually sort of kicked off my life long fondness for bands with girl drummers. Looking at you, Gories.
	1:00am Joe McG: @G: Oh yeah, I knew somebody died! The Slayer dude. Well, that's not my area. Diane will do something next week, I'm sure!
	1:01am fleep: Cowbell. Oh yes. Bathe me in cowbell.
	1:01am Matt from Springfield: Nixonger? Or maybe this is from their album "Nitzinger Shmitzinger"... Evenin' Joe and all cowbell swimmers!
	1:02am G: Joe's c. 1970 all-southern-rock extravaganza
	1:02am Lonely Planet Boy: KP:, Mott is one of my favorite bands. I listened to Brain Capers on my commute home yesterday.
	1:03am Holly in NC: Adam Yauch passed a year ago yesterday :-(
	1:03am Joe McG: @Matt: Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger formed Nixinger!
	1:03am fleep: It's surprising there aren't more cock fight songs.
	1:04am Matt from Springfield: @G: Wow, it is! And why the hell not!! :) Louisiana, there and Oklahoma I thought were the only two states that allow cockfighting. Peculiar to the "south central" U.S.!
	1:04am Droll: G, A 6-minute 45 is going to sound awful and wouldn't play without skipping in a jukebox with a 3-year old needle. The Slayer guy guitarist from complications of lifestyle. You almost never see that anymore.
	1:05am Joe McG: @fleep: I agree, we need more cockfight songs.
	1:05am Matt from Springfield: @Joe: The Southern Hard Rock Strategy! @fleep: This stuff sounds up Clay Pigeon's alley--he could look through obscure early 70s rock band LPs from OK and LA, I'm sure he could find some!
	1:07am Droll: I'm trying to imagine a rap, or electro-dance cockfight song... Nope. Er, I mean great open opportunity for the right band.
	1:07am Matt from Springfield: Oh man, too bad I'm alone here, this soundtrack is just begging to accompany a bar brawl! I may have to swing a chair at my houseplant soon!! ;)
	1:08am Joe McG: I saw one once in the Dominican Republic, it wasn't too pleasant.
	1:09am G: The man Twitter was named for. Little known fact.
	1:10am Joe McG: G: I almost believed you!
	1:10am KP: The proble was not the Allman Brothers in those days. It was the opening acts: Wet Wilie, .38 Special and god help us, Black Oak Arkansas.
	1:11am G: hahahahahahahaha, as if anyone involved in founding twitter had even heard of him!
	1:11am Matt from Springfield: "Pet Sounds" like saxophone and percussion! +9 Waylon!
	1:12am Joe McG: @Matt: You said it, my friend! @KP: I kind of like that .38 Special song that goes "Hold on loosely, but don't let go"!
	👻 1:13am Ken From Hyde Park: Hmmm...I see the Eta Aquarid meteor shower is going on the next couple of nights. I can flip on my car radio and listen outside. I don't think there are any clouds tonight. This meteor shower is dust from Halley's Comet.
	1:13am Matt from Springfield: Hey KP. The Empire (previously The Jaxx) is the nightclub right up the street from the house where I grew up. When Black Oak Arkansas played there about 10 years ago, the WaPo actually published an article for the occasion, referring to BOA as the guy at the high school reunion no one expected to still be around!
	1:14am G: willie turned 80 april 30th, sheesh!
	1:15am Joe McG: Damn, I missed the birthday tribute by a whole friggin' week!
	1:15am Holly in NC: @Joe - double dog dare ya to segue into Run DMC....
	1:16am Matt from Springfield: Oh well, you just rounded the BDay tribute later, than earlier!
	1:17am G: Everything since the Allman Brothers has been designed to make them look like a bunch of Yankees, because all the other artists are from much further south than Macon, GA.
	1:17am Joe McG: @Holly: I do not accept your double-dare!
	1:18am Holly in NC: All good this Kris K is great!
	1:18am KP: My wife has been to Jaxx, not me. i saw black oak arkansas upstate. There were four bands on bill, James Cotton (with Matt Murhpy), fantastic; Mark Almond Band, fantastic, JoJo Gunne, Ok. Black Oak Arkansas unbelievably horrible. There was nobody left, like six people with their legs over chairs in front of them. They did whole set, drum solo, throwing sticks into "crowd.' yeesh.
	1:20am KP: Jesse Colin Younger?
	1:20am Joe McG: @KP: Youngbloods references!
	1:24am Matt from Springfield: @KP: Blues Brother Matt "Guitar" Murphy? Sounds fantastic! But I guess BOA was put last to clear the audience out!
	1:25am Matt from Springfield: "She ain't Raquel - but what the hell! It's warm, and it's free"!
	1:25am Holly in NC: Bobby B :-)
	1:25am Matt from Springfield: What is this Hammie Nixon, Joe? "Jugpunk"? :)
	1:26am G: tappin' what thing????????????
	1:26am Chris in TX via RI: I think James Cotton may be the reason why I first bought a harmonica. Perhaps Paul Butterfield too.
	1:27am Lonely Planet Boy: Found the Nixon to go with the Nitzinger! Way to go, Joe McG.!
	1:27am Joe McG: @G: His jug, of course!
	1:29am Matt from Springfield: Century old blues x 60s/70s folk revival x modern indie revivalist = Karen Dalton! Great job Karen, esp on this production!
	1:30am Matt from Springfield: Oh, recorded in '66 -- but at least it was in a cabin! Probably on a reel-to-reel! 7"!
	1:31am b: Hey! I'm a big hair mustachioed man! You got a problem wit' dat?
	1:31am Holly in NC: Oh man, this sb in my mailbox when I get home, psyched! (yeti)
	1:32am Parq: I had a mustache once. For that matter, I had hair once. Also stamina. Good night, all.
	1:33am Matt from Springfield: Good ol' Shel, never a dull song in his catalogue! Mr. Bare is a great interpreter of Mr. Silverstein's material!
	1:33am Matt from Springfield: Good night Parq! Sleep on your upper lip, your mustache might grow back by tomorrow!
	1:34am b: So glad I missed Conway Twitty, can't put it into words.
	👻 1:35am 12539: Grass Roots?
	1:35am b: Little records, big holes! Little records, big holes!
	1:36am Joe McG: @b: I'm on the other side of the fence, b. I LOVES me some Harold Jenkins.
	1:36am b: Parq may be ex-mustachoied, but he's got awesome eyebrows!
	1:37am Joe McG: @12539: I don't think so....but maybe?
	1:38am Matt from Springfield: This is a fun sound from Bonnie Hayes!
	1:39am hal: Wow, this Bonnie Hayes song slays. Good looks, Joe
	1:39am Lonely Planet Boy: Just added Bonnie Hayes to my Rhapsody playlist. Soon to go to iTunes to purchase.
	1:39am Joe McG: Two points for whoever knows who this is. I played them last week for the first time.
	1:40am b: Simon & Garfunkel.
	1:40am Matt from Springfield: Is this the Simon & Garfunkel "Tom and Jerry"?!!
	1:40am Matt from Springfield: Was this a hard 45 to find?
	1:40am Joe McG: @Matt: Two points for Matt from Springfield!
	1:41am Lonely Planet Boy: Simon & Garfunkel. You're quick Matt!
	1:41am Joe McG: Oops, b beat you to it, Matt!
	1:41am G: The Sounds of Non-Silence
	1:41am b: I'll split the points with Matt anytime.
	1:42am Joe McG: @Matt: Not really, but it was at the bottom of a big stack of wrecked records. It's not in great shape, either, but it's cute to have.
	1:43am Matt from Springfield: The 33 startup amused me :) But I've known for a while about their teenage collab of that name, never heard how they sounded! But very generous of you to split, b! We'll take a point each, and I'll let LPB borrow mine next weekend! :)
	1:46am Lonely Planet Boy: Thanks, Matt.
	1:47am b: What a great title by Latimore!
	1:47am Matt from Springfield: Catchy disco, Wiki actually has an article on that one: "Frank Farian's assistant Hans-Jörg Mayer (aka Reyam) had discovered a popular Tunisian folkloric song, "Sidi Mansour" while on holiday, and rewrote the song into a disco track."
	1:48am G: clavinet alert.
	1:48am Holly in NC: Super Latimore
	1:49am Matt from Springfield: @B: Mos def! Though rednecks have certainly added some benefit to soul bands over the years. @LPB: I'm having my point framed, it will look real nice!
	1:49am b: Diggin the clavinet! Was just listening to Godley & Creme using it on "L" today.
	1:50am Matt from Springfield: I think we're due for a clavinet revival. The ball is in your court, bands!
	1:53am b: Got some Zevon comin'?
	1:54am fleep: Because clavinet: www.glidemagazine.com...
	1:54am Matt from Springfield: Shoo-be-doo-bop song! ♥ ♥ ♥
	1:54am Joe McG: @b: I should've brought my Lyme and Cybelle 45!
	1:55am G: complete with the backing arrangement from Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
	1:56am b: JANE! Good one, for a much-maligned group past their prime.
	1:56am Matt from Springfield: Whoa, I like this one! Didn't know it was the Starship! @G: Was that the exact same one? I've noticed them reusing backing tracks in those days.
	1:56am G: They were past their prime, past their second, and probably past their third :)
	1:57am Lonely Planet Boy: best Clavinet: Stevie's "Superstition" and whatever is on Elton's "Capt. Fantastic" LP.
	1:57am G: @Matt: Not the exact same, but pretty close in quite a few spots
	1:57am Joe McG: Lighters aloft, please.
	1:57am G: @LPB: Outta Space...
	1:58am KP: Just saw great Jefferson Airplane clip of them playing on a rooftop in NYC, early morning. Godard.
	1:58am Droll: Laugh all you want, this is the best sounding 45 of them all. A good mastering always stands out even on a worn disc. Does the station have Mother's Finest? That's some fine country-fried rock.
	1:59am b: I'll take Mickey Thomas's Starship over the baloney Marty Balin was putting out solo at the same time.
	2:00am Lonely Planet Boy: G:, you're absolutely right. Which I have on an A&M 45! Shoulda thought of that one.
	2:02am G: Loved that tune in the first half of 72, LPB. Had to listen to radio Luxembourg from my spot in the UK to hear it, till I ordered the 45 -- it wasn't on the UK charts or radio....
	2:02am b: Wow. Rance Allen can WAIL.
	2:04am b: And that will be good enough to send me off to bed for church in the morning. Another great half-hour of 45s Joe!
	2:05am Sean D. Daily: What's this playing behind you, Joe?
	2:06am Julie: aww I thought you were breathless from dancing
	2:07am G: Just ran back from the bathroom? :p
	2:08am Matt from Springfield: Hmm, Hindu Love Gods could be "Remzevon".
	2:08am b: Zevon on piano with HLGs.
	2:09am Matt from Springfield: Hi Julie! Is "Jane" up your alley, or is that era of Starship too late for your interest?
	👻 2:09am Ken From Hyde Park: Mission accomplished...I spotted a shooting star right at the end of Jane. I just now see that was by Jefferson Starship. That's a good omen, right?
	2:10am Matt from Springfield: G'night b! 45s nightcap!
	2:11am Matt from Springfield: Wow, JM in the PM for 1M! :)
