	👻 9:04am Ken From Hyde Park: I just flip when I hear the yips!
	9:05am Cheri Pi: Present.
	9:06am Roberto: It took me a while to figure out those were extraterrestrials. I thought they were ducks or frogs at first.
	9:07am Joe McG: Hey, folks! Have an audio truffle.
	9:07am common: i'm gonna quit my stupid job and become a puppeteer!
	9:08am Glenn M: Good morning!
	9:08am Roberto: Digging this. A contemporary take on the White Album.
	👻 9:15am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. This track put me in mind of this from the other day. www.liverpoolecho.co.uk...
	9:17am Joe McG: Good ol' Freda! Haven't seen it yet, but will!
	👻 9:28am 12539: (There's that great morning bed again!)
	9:29am Marcel M: Hey guys, morning all.
	9:32am ?: I agree, it's a good thing you can't do Phil Schapp-among the best music programmers, but the worst/most boring between set patter!!!
	9:33am Joe McG: @?: I think the guy's incredible, but boy oh boy, I don't need to hear about Louis Armstrong's doughnut breaks between takes.
	9:35am Marcel M: I saw him talk at an event once.... it was interesting but ohhhhh boy was it long LONG!
	9:37am Joe McG: @Marcel: Ha! Good lungs!
	9:38am SeanG: Hot stuff
	9:39am Rob in Maryland: I was thinking that last song (before this Las Kellies song), which I wandered into, was rally nice. I see it's La Luz! A big smile is on my face.
	👻 9:40am tim from champaign: Howdy Joe! Nuts, I just missed Gene Russell. I have his "Talk To My Lady" record. I think I'd be afraid to actually talk to his lady. Mr. Russell looks to be a bit of a bruiser.
	9:41am Joe McG: Hey, Rob, tim, Glenn M, Cheri Pi, 12539, Roberto, common, SeanG, Ken, Guido, and duke!
	9:42am Joe McG: @tim: I agree, Gene looks like he could clean a clock or two.
	👻 9:42am tim from champaign: Is "Honey & I" a Fleetwood Mac outtake?
	9:42am Michele: HI Joe! Hi everyone!
	9:43am Joe McG: Hey, Michele! @tim: Doesn't it sound like the Mac, though??
	9:43am herb.nyc: oooooh, so this is what HAIM sounds like. i could like them. (oooooh, TIM is right, kinda FMac-y) good morning joe, and all.
	9:45am duke: Great Joni song. Fairpoint Convention does a wonderful job of this tune also.
	9:46am duke: Spelling corrector wanted to change that to PowerPoint Convention. That's my new band name.
	9:47am Joe McG: @duke: Brilliant! I also love the Fairport version dearly. Hey, herb.nyc!
	9:50am SeanG: love that fat rickenbacker lick
	👻 9:57am tim from champaign: How did I miss this McTells single? I was all about K records in 1993.
	9:59am common: man! great lyrics and delivery by C.W.!
	10:00am herb.nyc: that SCARED TO GET HAPPY sounds like it could be a nice gift, for oneself or others. i have PILLOWS & PRAYERS vinyl at home and remember being wowed by ATTILA THE STOCKBROKER and QUENTIN CRISP, among others.
	10:01am Joe McG: I accept payola, herb. (Just kidding!)
	10:06am Rob in Maryland: I remember the Donny and Marie Osmond version of "Morningside of the Mountain".
	10:11am SeanG: anyone else diggin the new prefab sprout?
	10:16am herb.nyc: BANGLES and GO-GOs getting confused? so why not just say BANGOS? which segues to FRANK BANGO, whom i saw at bell house last friday (opening for HOLSAPPLE & STAMEY). good sad sack of a singer. (oh, thank you WFMU, for i won tix via EVAN F.D.'s show)
	10:16am Joe McG: @SeanG: I gotta get it. Love Paddy!
	10:19am βrian: Turgid skies over the isthmus today. Love this desert sound.
	10:21am Lewis: A balmy 9deg F here in the twin cities - also digging the desert sounds
	10:23am Joe McG: Just imagine you're standing next to your camel and you can't stop sweating.
	10:23am βrian: Lewis, we're jealous of your state government. Please feel free to invade.
	10:24am Lewis: Thats about -13deg C for those of you who have a somewhat more rational scale for measuring T.
	10:24am Mike East: I played my sister's GoGos LP last week cuz I was on "Vacation" and found in the same sleeve my long lost Johnny Mathis Christmas album. Was glad that I saved the sleeve to that one. So many memories with that xmas album.
	10:26am Lewis: Having fled fiitzwalkerstan, I do truly appreciate the high functioning of my current state government. My thoughts are with those I left behind...
	10:26am βrian: But that novel, Celsius 233, doesn't have the same ring to it.
	10:27am Joe McG: @Mike East: "Chances are/Santa will wear a silly grin...."
	10:28am Lewis: yes and truth be told i have to work out the F->C translation painfully every time. But I have first gen swiss in the family so I am getting better at it...
	10:28am Mike Sin: Hi Joe -- Listening live to the broadcast signal this morning. Enjoying the show!
	10:34am listener james from westwood: digging the program, especially the altered images. always a fave!
	10:35am common: thanks for playing altered images, joe! haven't heard this since i was a young-un.
	10:37am Joe McG: You bet, fellows! Hey, Mike Sin!
	10:38am Cecile: that's a hip 80s jukebox right there.
	10:38am Yvonne: Not only do I like Martin Denny, I LOVE MONKEY SOUNDS!
	10:39am listener james from westwood: sweet fancy moses, the king of exotica tracks!
	10:39am Joe McG: @Yvonne: :)
	10:39am Jeff: Hey, was the beginning of this Martin Denny piece used over the close of Pee Wee's Playhouse?
	10:40am Cecile: this is funny.
	10:41am Cecile: I think someone should do a "you damn kids" show. This would be a great choice.
	👻 10:43am 12539: Hey, Dizzy didn't mention twerking!
	10:44am P-90: Do the Mouse! You can do it in your house. Do the Mouse! (The Gen-Xers know...)
	10:44am Joe McG: @12539: Somebody needs to cover it and get that one in!
	10:45am Jeff: Okay, I tried asking The Internet. Somebody says the opening theme to Pee Wee's Playhouse is an hommage to Quiet Village, but written by (Martin Denny fan) Mark Mothersbaugh! Yes, that Mark Mothersbaugh.
	10:48am Marcel M: A bottle, your memory and me... that is an awesome line.
	10:50am P-90: ---But the Pee-Wee closing theme was different. I don't 'member if it was a Mark B. original. When he's hired to do music for movies/tv/etc. he typically composes a theme and selects existing music for other bits on the show. Good Question about the closing
	10:50am herb.nyc: THE NEW HOPE, great band name, and makes sense for 1969. (yes, "a bottle, yr memory and me" is a great line - it immed'ly makes me think of song "he's got you". what's the line, "i've got your picture, he's got you" i think.)
	10:51am Tome: good set Joe wtg !!
	10:52am Lewis: @jeff - that sounds very believable. Mothersbaugh has done a lot of sound track stuff where you wouldn't necessary expect it (e.g. rocket power and the one with the little kids on Nick and lots more)
	👻 10:53am Ken From Hyde Park: I hope this isn't too harsh, but... . Between the bottle, your memory and me, one of the three isn't going to make it through the night.
	👻 10:53am tim from champaign: @cecile - agreed! Those goddamn kids with their energy drinks and smart phones need some pull up their damn pants comeuppance!
	10:54am Joe McG: Thanks, Tome! Havin' fun.
	10:54am P-90: @Lewis + Jeff: that Pee wee job was when he was breaking in, helped him get those other gigs later
	10:55am P-90: @KFHP: haha! good one
	10:59am Joe McG: @Ken: I'm still trying to figure out which one!
	10:59am duke: @KFHP Great line, sounds like the start of a C&W song.
	10:59am Roberto: Yep, Mark and Bob both worked on the Rugrats. I remember being surprised by that back when my kids was little and they was watchin' that there show.
	11:00am Cecile: and Mark Mothersbaugh took over from Todd Rundgren for the music on that show.
	👻 11:00am tim from champaign: Hey cecile - I heard it's mighty cold up in your neck of the woods. How cold is it currently?
	11:01am Cecile: Pee Wee's Playhouse, I mean.
	11:01am Cecile: It's about -5. It sucks.
	11:02am Cecile: invictus was a great record label
	11:03am Roberto: You haven't heard the Joe Cocker version? Dude.
	11:04am herb.nyc: in ref to the cold, i'm reminded of & paraphrasing a PJ O'ROURKE line now: "if the liberals are so fond of the outdoors & the environment, then let's just leave the homeless alone"
	11:04am βrian: "Joe Cocker, Live and in pain!"
	11:05am Mike Noble: confirmed, duck dunn & taylor mccashen wrote hitchcock railway.
	👻 11:05am tim from champaign: Woo doggies, cecile. It's about +5 here. It usually doesn't get this cold in central IL until February.
	11:08am Mike Noble: @Joe I don't know if wfmu has it, but there's a band on Slumberland called The Terry Malts (who have appeared on EFD's show) who put out a flexi cover of "I could be happy" this year
	11:08am P-90: Mark B. was an early pioneer of the practice of a single composer/arranger doing entire scores alone, using synths, samples, etc. Danny Elfman has since become the king of this (Simpson's theme, almost all of Tim Burton's movies,...)
	11:08am Kurt Gottschalk: ok, you made me laugh out loud holding the record cover up to the mic for us.
	11:09am Cecile: it usually doesn't get this cold until January. ugh.
	11:10am Kurt Gottschalk: there's generally two friday the 13ths per year but last year there were three (the first year i was on fridays). next year there's only one, which is good as i'm running out of ideas. mornin' joe.
	11:12am Joe McG: Hey, King Kurt! I think your Friday the 13th shows are fun. Looking forward to #6 next year!
	11:13am common: hey ya kurt!
	11:14am Mike Noble: I cannot find the title of the David Band painting on the cover of "I could be happy," so I cannot determine whether or not it is a portrait of Pete Townsend.
	👻 11:14am tim from champaign: Who plays guitar on "Live at the Whiskey"? Herbie played with some killer guitar players during this time. Also, did Herbie play topless at the Whiskey?
	11:15am PKNY: Feeling this Herbie Mann track, will have to see if I this particular record at home among the other Herbie records I've picked up.
	11:16am P-90: Back in the day, it was occasionally female patrons who "played topless" at the Whiskey
	11:16am Kurt Gottschalk: hey common. thx, joe. herbie mann grand slam, yo!
	11:17am Joe McG: @Mike: Thanks for trying! @tim: It's Sonny Sharrock, who we'll hear from shortly.
	11:18am herb.nyc: TERRY MALTS flexi "i could be happy"? oh so excellent. (is there a WFMU person who actively collects flexis?)
	👻 11:19am tim from champaign: Man, what a cut!
	11:22am P-90: @herb: DJ MAC collects, archives, curates, and reads and writes about the whole history of Flexis
	11:23am Mike Noble: @herb.nyc were you lucky enough to get a flexi? actually i'm not even sure if they sold out. Mac runs a makeshift flexi museum, but i don't know if terry malts would be up his alley.
	11:24am Cecile: HEY AQUALUNG!
	11:25am Mike Noble: here's that flexi altered images cover: soundcloud.com...
	11:25am PKNY: @P-90: to be fair, Herbie decided to rock a shirt for the cover of that record. Also, I figured it had to be Roy Ayers on the vibes, and searching for the cover confirmed it.
	👻 11:26am tim from champaign: @Cecile - good one! My favorite heckle is "Go back to France!"
	11:27am slater: epic Herbie
	11:28am Joe McG: @slater: The B of this LP is great, too, a Rufus Thomas song that Sharrock explodes in about 3/4 of the way through.
	11:28am KP: Hey Joe. Car is parked and I'm in my safe eastside home.
	11:28am earrie: Fine listening, JOe.
	11:29am Guido (Cologne): Herbie Mann was a surprise. I must admit that I only have a scratchy copy of memphis underground, thus I maybe not really appreciated this artist enough.
	11:29am P-90: @Cecile: PLAY FREE BIRD! PLAY WHIPPIN" POST!
	11:29am Joe McG: Thanks for sticking with me through the twists and turns, earrie. Hey, KP! "Safe at Home"!
	11:30am Cecile: my favorite heckle of a bad artist was: "booooooooooooooooo!"
	11:30am Mike Noble: hey flute jazz and carnatic music fans, i picked this up recently and highly recommend it: jazztimes.com...
	11:30am Cecile: sometimes cleverness is not necessary
	11:31am Sumpin': This song sounds like masturbation.
	11:31am Parq: Interesting thing I just recently learned about Sharrock. He was responsible for the bracing guitar-driven music on the dizzy talk show spoof "Space Ghost Coast to Coast", which proved that, contrary to what your mother or your grade school teacher told you, people will pay you to just sit around and act goofy all day.
	11:31am earrie: @Joe McG A pleasure.
	11:31am Cheri Pi: Oh man, this album reminds me of my black cat who passed away last year just before Christmas, RIP Lio. wrapping gifts without you will never be the same.
	11:32am Cecile: Parq, yeah. But Zorak always cracked me up.
	11:32am herb.nyc: @mike noble - i don't have the TERRY MALTS flexi. i just love old school things, like cassettes and print zines. and thanks for DJ MAC info, you too @P-90.
	👻 11:32am tim from champaign: Mr. Sharrock is also a television show scholar.
	11:33am Cecile: this song title sounds like something Drexciya would come up with.
	11:33am Joe McG: @MIke: That album looks cool! I hope we get it here.
	11:33am P-90: "Go back to France" haha those Red State types are so witty. But yeah, Cecile, sometimes nothing's like a good BOOOOO!
	11:33am Sean B.: Joe, Had to sign in to chime in on what a really good set today you have brought us; Thanx for the great music this morning!. I hope all is warm with you man.
	11:35am Mike Noble: what do they have against borneo?
	11:35am Cecile: at various Dillinger Four shows I've been known to yell "put your clothes back on!"
	11:36am Joe McG: Thanks, Sean B! Stay warm out there!
	11:36am Cecile: Sean Na Na, too. Oy.
	11:38am Sean B.: Thank you!, will try!.
	11:38am Parq: 'Cile, I've heard that yelled at particularly ill-cast burlesque shows.
	11:40am Cecile: Don't even get me started about burlesque shows. I don't mind when people work in the tradition, but when they recreate old, offtensive routines scene for scene, ye Gods.
	11:42am northguineahills: Never got the burlesque thing myself, although I do like old-timey burlesque music.
	11:43am P-90: I thought it was the "authentic", "vintage" stuff that gets the most cred from the New Vanguard of ecydisiasts
	11:44am Cecile: P-90, some stuff is better left in the past.
	11:45am Whosondephone: Oh Boy! My two favorite DJs in a row today! :D
	11:46am KevinfromBayRidge: Qick last minute haloo!! Very Irene-y dreamy.
	11:48am Joe McG: @Whosondephone: Scott McD and Fabio, right?
	11:48am P-90: Are we talking about the quaint, gentle, relatively tame stuff like slowly pulling off the gloves, wriggling w/feather boa, leaving the foundation garments on, etc? It gets boring fast, but it's like soft R-rated
	11:49am KevinfromBayRidge: Lemme try Quick
	11:50am northguineahills: Susan Alcorn is great live....
	👻 11:50am Brian in UK: Did I notice a hint of 'With a Little Help from my Friends' back there in the last set. Lawd knows where.
	11:51am Cecile: No, we're talking about insulting routines about Asians and Native Americans. Not quaint.
	11:53am SeanG: woo hoo!
	11:53am Guido (Cologne): Since this is going minimal and calming: Random discovery of a randomly recorded piano album from spain, free legal download. clinicalarchives.blogspot.de... Found that quite appealing.
	11:53am SeanG: turning this way UP
	👻 11:53am Brian in UK: Burlesque. Pa! We had to put up with this shite. en.wikipedia.org...
	11:53am P-90: Ohhhh...they did a lot of "Yellowface" and "Redface" minstrelsy stuff? The "exotic dancers'? Didn't know that
	11:54am fleep: And yes, another great show to clone from the archives. Gonna listen to this one in the fleepmobile.
	👻 11:54am tim from champaign: Thanks Joe! Looking forward to next Thursday a.m. already.
	11:54am northguineahills: Thanks for the link, Guido!
	11:55am northguineahills: Good work Joe!
	11:55am Sumpin': Do people who go to burlesque strip shows actually get offended? I'm guessing burlesque today is like something more for the ladies? I don't think dudes go to strip clubs and get huffy over dance routines.
	11:56am Joe McG: Thanks for listening, everybody!
	11:56am Cecile: In this particular troupe. Not all! A lot of people have modern clothes and modern music. And other people use the old style to satirize the present time. Also, there can be a lot of great singers and acrobats in burlesque. Not here.
	11:56am Guido (Cologne): Beautiful show Joe! think I enjoyed the last hour most. CU next week. (And yes, I dig JUNGLE EXOTICA and all that vintage burlesque stuff.)
	11:56am P-90: It says that British show ran until 1978?!! Really?
	11:56am earrie: Thank you, Joe.
	11:56am Cecile: Sujmpin. It's not the nudity. It's the crappy ethnic jokes that even my earthy 90 year old in-laws would be embarassed to tell.
	11:57am duke: Thanks Joe!
	👻 11:57am 12539: Thanks, Joe.
	11:58am P-90: I get it -- not the dancing, the comedy that went with it. Yow.
	11:58am Cecile: I like the music. I like the dancing (if it's not just ass-wiggling). I like the sets. I like the corny MCs. But a lot of the humor if not dodgy, is outright offensive.
	11:58am P-90: Thanks for the delicious show,Joe McG
	7:05pm Holly in NC: I can't believe you have a Charles Bevel 7''. You are so amazing! :-)

	👻 9:28am 12539: (There's that great morning bed again!)
	9:29am Marcel M: Hey guys, morning all.
	9:32am ?: I agree, it's a good thing you can't do Phil Schapp-among the best music programmers, but the worst/most boring between set patter!!!
	9:33am Joe McG: @?: I think the guy's incredible, but boy oh boy, I don't need to hear about Louis Armstrong's doughnut breaks between takes.
	9:35am Marcel M: I saw him talk at an event once.... it was interesting but ohhhhh boy was it long LONG!
	9:37am Joe McG: @Marcel: Ha! Good lungs!
	9:38am SeanG: Hot stuff
	9:39am Rob in Maryland: I was thinking that last song (before this Las Kellies song), which I wandered into, was rally nice. I see it's La Luz! A big smile is on my face.
	👻 9:40am tim from champaign: Howdy Joe! Nuts, I just missed Gene Russell. I have his "Talk To My Lady" record. I think I'd be afraid to actually talk to his lady. Mr. Russell looks to be a bit of a bruiser.
	9:41am Joe McG: Hey, Rob, tim, Glenn M, Cheri Pi, 12539, Roberto, common, SeanG, Ken, Guido, and duke!
	9:42am Joe McG: @tim: I agree, Gene looks like he could clean a clock or two.
	👻 9:42am tim from champaign: Is "Honey & I" a Fleetwood Mac outtake?
	9:42am Michele: HI Joe! Hi everyone!
	9:43am Joe McG: Hey, Michele! @tim: Doesn't it sound like the Mac, though??
	9:43am herb.nyc: oooooh, so this is what HAIM sounds like. i could like them. (oooooh, TIM is right, kinda FMac-y) good morning joe, and all.
	9:45am duke: Great Joni song. Fairpoint Convention does a wonderful job of this tune also.
	9:46am duke: Spelling corrector wanted to change that to PowerPoint Convention. That's my new band name.
	9:47am Joe McG: @duke: Brilliant! I also love the Fairport version dearly. Hey, herb.nyc!
	9:50am SeanG: love that fat rickenbacker lick
	👻 9:57am tim from champaign: How did I miss this McTells single? I was all about K records in 1993.
	9:59am common: man! great lyrics and delivery by C.W.!
	10:00am herb.nyc: that SCARED TO GET HAPPY sounds like it could be a nice gift, for oneself or others. i have PILLOWS & PRAYERS vinyl at home and remember being wowed by ATTILA THE STOCKBROKER and QUENTIN CRISP, among others.
	10:01am Joe McG: I accept payola, herb. (Just kidding!)
	10:06am Rob in Maryland: I remember the Donny and Marie Osmond version of "Morningside of the Mountain".
	10:11am SeanG: anyone else diggin the new prefab sprout?
	10:16am herb.nyc: BANGLES and GO-GOs getting confused? so why not just say BANGOS? which segues to FRANK BANGO, whom i saw at bell house last friday (opening for HOLSAPPLE & STAMEY). good sad sack of a singer. (oh, thank you WFMU, for i won tix via EVAN F.D.'s show)
	10:16am Joe McG: @SeanG: I gotta get it. Love Paddy!
	10:19am βrian: Turgid skies over the isthmus today. Love this desert sound.
	10:21am Lewis: A balmy 9deg F here in the twin cities - also digging the desert sounds
	10:23am Joe McG: Just imagine you're standing next to your camel and you can't stop sweating.
	10:23am βrian: Lewis, we're jealous of your state government. Please feel free to invade.
	10:24am Lewis: Thats about -13deg C for those of you who have a somewhat more rational scale for measuring T.
	10:24am Mike East: I played my sister's GoGos LP last week cuz I was on "Vacation" and found in the same sleeve my long lost Johnny Mathis Christmas album. Was glad that I saved the sleeve to that one. So many memories with that xmas album.
	10:26am Lewis: Having fled fiitzwalkerstan, I do truly appreciate the high functioning of my current state government. My thoughts are with those I left behind...
	10:26am βrian: But that novel, Celsius 233, doesn't have the same ring to it.
	10:27am Joe McG: @Mike East: "Chances are/Santa will wear a silly grin...."
	10:28am Lewis: yes and truth be told i have to work out the F->C translation painfully every time. But I have first gen swiss in the family so I am getting better at it...
	10:28am Mike Sin: Hi Joe -- Listening live to the broadcast signal this morning. Enjoying the show!
	10:34am listener james from westwood: digging the program, especially the altered images. always a fave!
	10:35am common: thanks for playing altered images, joe! haven't heard this since i was a young-un.
	10:37am Joe McG: You bet, fellows! Hey, Mike Sin!
	10:38am Cecile: that's a hip 80s jukebox right there.
	10:38am Yvonne: Not only do I like Martin Denny, I LOVE MONKEY SOUNDS!
	10:39am listener james from westwood: sweet fancy moses, the king of exotica tracks!
	10:39am Joe McG: @Yvonne: :)
	10:39am Jeff: Hey, was the beginning of this Martin Denny piece used over the close of Pee Wee's Playhouse?
	10:40am Cecile: this is funny.
	10:41am Cecile: I think someone should do a "you damn kids" show. This would be a great choice.
	👻 10:43am 12539: Hey, Dizzy didn't mention twerking!
	10:44am P-90: Do the Mouse! You can do it in your house. Do the Mouse! (The Gen-Xers know...)
	10:44am Joe McG: @12539: Somebody needs to cover it and get that one in!
	10:45am Jeff: Okay, I tried asking The Internet. Somebody says the opening theme to Pee Wee's Playhouse is an hommage to Quiet Village, but written by (Martin Denny fan) Mark Mothersbaugh! Yes, that Mark Mothersbaugh.
	10:48am Marcel M: A bottle, your memory and me... that is an awesome line.
	10:50am P-90: ---But the Pee-Wee closing theme was different. I don't 'member if it was a Mark B. original. When he's hired to do music for movies/tv/etc. he typically composes a theme and selects existing music for other bits on the show. Good Question about the closing
	10:50am herb.nyc: THE NEW HOPE, great band name, and makes sense for 1969. (yes, "a bottle, yr memory and me" is a great line - it immed'ly makes me think of song "he's got you". what's the line, "i've got your picture, he's got you" i think.)
	10:51am Tome: good set Joe wtg !!
	10:52am Lewis: @jeff - that sounds very believable. Mothersbaugh has done a lot of sound track stuff where you wouldn't necessary expect it (e.g. rocket power and the one with the little kids on Nick and lots more)
	👻 10:53am Ken From Hyde Park: I hope this isn't too harsh, but... . Between the bottle, your memory and me, one of the three isn't going to make it through the night.
	👻 10:53am tim from champaign: @cecile - agreed! Those goddamn kids with their energy drinks and smart phones need some pull up their damn pants comeuppance!
	10:54am Joe McG: Thanks, Tome! Havin' fun.
	10:54am P-90: @Lewis + Jeff: that Pee wee job was when he was breaking in, helped him get those other gigs later
	10:55am P-90: @KFHP: haha! good one
	10:59am Joe McG: @Ken: I'm still trying to figure out which one!
	10:59am duke: @KFHP Great line, sounds like the start of a C&W song.
	10:59am Roberto: Yep, Mark and Bob both worked on the Rugrats. I remember being surprised by that back when my kids was little and they was watchin' that there show.
	11:00am Cecile: and Mark Mothersbaugh took over from Todd Rundgren for the music on that show.
	👻 11:00am tim from champaign: Hey cecile - I heard it's mighty cold up in your neck of the woods. How cold is it currently?
	11:01am Cecile: Pee Wee's Playhouse, I mean.
	11:01am Cecile: It's about -5. It sucks.
	11:02am Cecile: invictus was a great record label
	11:03am Roberto: You haven't heard the Joe Cocker version? Dude.
	11:04am herb.nyc: in ref to the cold, i'm reminded of & paraphrasing a PJ O'ROURKE line now: "if the liberals are so fond of the outdoors & the environment, then let's just leave the homeless alone"
	11:04am βrian: "Joe Cocker, Live and in pain!"
	11:05am Mike Noble: confirmed, duck dunn & taylor mccashen wrote hitchcock railway.
	👻 11:05am tim from champaign: Woo doggies, cecile. It's about +5 here. It usually doesn't get this cold in central IL until February.
	11:08am Mike Noble: @Joe I don't know if wfmu has it, but there's a band on Slumberland called The Terry Malts (who have appeared on EFD's show) who put out a flexi cover of "I could be happy" this year
	11:08am P-90: Mark B. was an early pioneer of the practice of a single composer/arranger doing entire scores alone, using synths, samples, etc. Danny Elfman has since become the king of this (Simpson's theme, almost all of Tim Burton's movies,...)
	11:08am Kurt Gottschalk: ok, you made me laugh out loud holding the record cover up to the mic for us.
	11:09am Cecile: it usually doesn't get this cold until January. ugh.
	11:10am Kurt Gottschalk: there's generally two friday the 13ths per year but last year there were three (the first year i was on fridays). next year there's only one, which is good as i'm running out of ideas. mornin' joe.
	11:12am Joe McG: Hey, King Kurt! I think your Friday the 13th shows are fun. Looking forward to #6 next year!
	11:13am common: hey ya kurt!
	11:14am Mike Noble: I cannot find the title of the David Band painting on the cover of "I could be happy," so I cannot determine whether or not it is a portrait of Pete Townsend.
	👻 11:14am tim from champaign: Who plays guitar on "Live at the Whiskey"? Herbie played with some killer guitar players during this time. Also, did Herbie play topless at the Whiskey?
	11:15am PKNY: Feeling this Herbie Mann track, will have to see if I this particular record at home among the other Herbie records I've picked up.
	11:16am P-90: Back in the day, it was occasionally female patrons who "played topless" at the Whiskey
	11:16am Kurt Gottschalk: hey common. thx, joe. herbie mann grand slam, yo!
	11:17am Joe McG: @Mike: Thanks for trying! @tim: It's Sonny Sharrock, who we'll hear from shortly.
	11:18am herb.nyc: TERRY MALTS flexi "i could be happy"? oh so excellent. (is there a WFMU person who actively collects flexis?)
	👻 11:19am tim from champaign: Man, what a cut!
	11:22am P-90: @herb: DJ MAC collects, archives, curates, and reads and writes about the whole history of Flexis
	11:23am Mike Noble: @herb.nyc were you lucky enough to get a flexi? actually i'm not even sure if they sold out. Mac runs a makeshift flexi museum, but i don't know if terry malts would be up his alley.
	11:24am Cecile: HEY AQUALUNG!
	11:25am Mike Noble: here's that flexi altered images cover: soundcloud.com...
	11:25am PKNY: @P-90: to be fair, Herbie decided to rock a shirt for the cover of that record. Also, I figured it had to be Roy Ayers on the vibes, and searching for the cover confirmed it.
	👻 11:26am tim from champaign: @Cecile - good one! My favorite heckle is "Go back to France!"
	11:27am slater: epic Herbie
	11:28am Joe McG: @slater: The B of this LP is great, too, a Rufus Thomas song that Sharrock explodes in about 3/4 of the way through.
	11:28am KP: Hey Joe. Car is parked and I'm in my safe eastside home.
	11:28am earrie: Fine listening, JOe.
	11:29am Guido (Cologne): Herbie Mann was a surprise. I must admit that I only have a scratchy copy of memphis underground, thus I maybe not really appreciated this artist enough.
	11:29am P-90: @Cecile: PLAY FREE BIRD! PLAY WHIPPIN" POST!
	11:29am Joe McG: Thanks for sticking with me through the twists and turns, earrie. Hey, KP! "Safe at Home"!
	11:30am Cecile: my favorite heckle of a bad artist was: "booooooooooooooooo!"
	11:30am Mike Noble: hey flute jazz and carnatic music fans, i picked this up recently and highly recommend it: jazztimes.com...
	11:30am Cecile: sometimes cleverness is not necessary
	11:31am Sumpin': This song sounds like masturbation.
	11:31am Parq: Interesting thing I just recently learned about Sharrock. He was responsible for the bracing guitar-driven music on the dizzy talk show spoof "Space Ghost Coast to Coast", which proved that, contrary to what your mother or your grade school teacher told you, people will pay you to just sit around and act goofy all day.
	11:31am earrie: @Joe McG A pleasure.
	11:31am Cheri Pi: Oh man, this album reminds me of my black cat who passed away last year just before Christmas, RIP Lio. wrapping gifts without you will never be the same.
	11:32am Cecile: Parq, yeah. But Zorak always cracked me up.
	11:32am herb.nyc: @mike noble - i don't have the TERRY MALTS flexi. i just love old school things, like cassettes and print zines. and thanks for DJ MAC info, you too @P-90.
	👻 11:32am tim from champaign: Mr. Sharrock is also a television show scholar.
	11:33am Cecile: this song title sounds like something Drexciya would come up with.
	11:33am Joe McG: @MIke: That album looks cool! I hope we get it here.
	11:33am P-90: "Go back to France" haha those Red State types are so witty. But yeah, Cecile, sometimes nothing's like a good BOOOOO!
	11:33am Sean B.: Joe, Had to sign in to chime in on what a really good set today you have brought us; Thanx for the great music this morning!. I hope all is warm with you man.
	11:35am Mike Noble: what do they have against borneo?
	11:35am Cecile: at various Dillinger Four shows I've been known to yell "put your clothes back on!"
	11:36am Joe McG: Thanks, Sean B! Stay warm out there!
	11:36am Cecile: Sean Na Na, too. Oy.
	11:38am Sean B.: Thank you!, will try!.
	11:38am Parq: 'Cile, I've heard that yelled at particularly ill-cast burlesque shows.
	11:40am Cecile: Don't even get me started about burlesque shows. I don't mind when people work in the tradition, but when they recreate old, offtensive routines scene for scene, ye Gods.
	11:42am northguineahills: Never got the burlesque thing myself, although I do like old-timey burlesque music.
	11:43am P-90: I thought it was the "authentic", "vintage" stuff that gets the most cred from the New Vanguard of ecydisiasts
	11:44am Cecile: P-90, some stuff is better left in the past.
	11:45am Whosondephone: Oh Boy! My two favorite DJs in a row today! :D
	11:46am KevinfromBayRidge: Qick last minute haloo!! Very Irene-y dreamy.
	11:48am Joe McG: @Whosondephone: Scott McD and Fabio, right?
	11:48am P-90: Are we talking about the quaint, gentle, relatively tame stuff like slowly pulling off the gloves, wriggling w/feather boa, leaving the foundation garments on, etc? It gets boring fast, but it's like soft R-rated
	11:49am KevinfromBayRidge: Lemme try Quick
	11:50am northguineahills: Susan Alcorn is great live....
	👻 11:50am Brian in UK: Did I notice a hint of 'With a Little Help from my Friends' back there in the last set. Lawd knows where.
	11:51am Cecile: No, we're talking about insulting routines about Asians and Native Americans. Not quaint.
	11:53am SeanG: woo hoo!
	11:53am Guido (Cologne): Since this is going minimal and calming: Random discovery of a randomly recorded piano album from spain, free legal download. clinicalarchives.blogspot.de... Found that quite appealing.
	11:53am SeanG: turning this way UP
	👻 11:53am Brian in UK: Burlesque. Pa! We had to put up with this shite. en.wikipedia.org...
	11:53am P-90: Ohhhh...they did a lot of "Yellowface" and "Redface" minstrelsy stuff? The "exotic dancers'? Didn't know that
	11:54am fleep: And yes, another great show to clone from the archives. Gonna listen to this one in the fleepmobile.
	👻 11:54am tim from champaign: Thanks Joe! Looking forward to next Thursday a.m. already.
	11:54am northguineahills: Thanks for the link, Guido!
	11:55am northguineahills: Good work Joe!
	11:55am Sumpin': Do people who go to burlesque strip shows actually get offended? I'm guessing burlesque today is like something more for the ladies? I don't think dudes go to strip clubs and get huffy over dance routines.
	11:56am Joe McG: Thanks for listening, everybody!
	11:56am Cecile: In this particular troupe. Not all! A lot of people have modern clothes and modern music. And other people use the old style to satirize the present time. Also, there can be a lot of great singers and acrobats in burlesque. Not here.
	11:56am Guido (Cologne): Beautiful show Joe! think I enjoyed the last hour most. CU next week. (And yes, I dig JUNGLE EXOTICA and all that vintage burlesque stuff.)
	11:56am P-90: It says that British show ran until 1978?!! Really?
	11:56am earrie: Thank you, Joe.
	11:56am Cecile: Sujmpin. It's not the nudity. It's the crappy ethnic jokes that even my earthy 90 year old in-laws would be embarassed to tell.
	11:57am duke: Thanks Joe!
	👻 11:57am 12539: Thanks, Joe.
	11:58am P-90: I get it -- not the dancing, the comedy that went with it. Yow.
	11:58am Cecile: I like the music. I like the dancing (if it's not just ass-wiggling). I like the sets. I like the corny MCs. But a lot of the humor if not dodgy, is outright offensive.
	11:58am P-90: Thanks for the delicious show,Joe McG
	7:05pm Holly in NC: I can't believe you have a Charles Bevel 7''. You are so amazing! :-)
