	9:04am HEAT: gmorning Joe!
	9:04am Cheri Pi: whutwhutwhutwhutwhut
	9:05am bibi: hi all. joe, where is your crazy jingle taken from ? if it's an original production, then my respect to wfmu will reach an unbearable level.
	9:06am Parq: Radio ... radio ...
	9:06am Parq: Bibi, hint: take a look at Cheri Pi's profile pic.
	9:07am Joe McG: Good morning, common, Van, Ken, HEAT, Cheri, bibi, and Parq! @bibi: Alas, not an original production... Cheri's avatar is a big clue.
	9:08am common: love the image of kerouac holding his purring cat up to the moon. nice.
	9:09am Cory: Hey Joe, thanks for giving my day a cool start.
	👻 9:09am 12539: Joe, today I woke from a dream of you with a mirror propped on a piano on stage, singing "One is the Loneliest Number," at a music hall, but there was no sound, and we in the audience were trying to figure out why the cables weren't working. I'm not kidding. Should I be scared?
	👻 9:10am 12539: By the way, today's show is starting out much better.
	9:10am bibi: oh boys, how couldnt i guess it by myself, thx. btw, never managed to get my avatar gif animated, though being an original animated gif... she's supposed to move her lips, but now she just looks like another botox collateral damage.
	9:11am Joe McG: You bet, Cory! @12539: That's a completely bizarre coincidence since the other day in the office I was singing "One is the Loneliest Number" at the top of my voice in Three Dog Night style! You're scaring ME.
	9:13am Sem Chumbo: On the road with Joe McGasko. Nice.
	9:14am common: ah. synchronicity, 12539 & joe!
	9:17am Parq: Bass nerd that I am, I'm lovin' the bottom on this Osborne.
	9:18am Joe McG: @Parq: Tommy Potter on bass, woo hoo!
	9:24am Brendan: Hi Joe, all.
	9:25am Joe McG: Hey, Brendan! Welcome to you and Sem also!
	9:28am Brendan: Just a man his piano and his thoughts
	9:29am Brendan: Str8 from the heart , unpretentious
	9:30am Brendan: Traveling across the country like a folk singer, with his piano on his back
	9:34am Roberto: Should be Lie Lady Lie...but whatevs.
	9:37am Joe McG: Ha ha, Roberto!
	9:38am Rev. Turnip Druid: PEOPLE.
	9:41am Joe McG: Hey, Rev!
	9:47am Cheri Pi: PAPPA!
	9:48am Brendan: Love the Doc Watson version of Summertime
	9:49am Joe McG: @Cheri: MA!
	9:49am Rev. Turnip Druid: JOE PI!
	9:54am dc pat: McGasko! Pi! Rev! Others!
	9:54am Joe McG: Hi, dc pat!
	9:55am Rev. Turnip Druid: JOE PAT!
	9:56am AZ Dave: Some think Summertime has been performed more than any other piece of music.
	9:58am dc pat: I would say, that is acceptable @AZ Dave.
	10:01am V Priceless: Hi Joe! Kinks Konker!
	10:01am dc pat: wow. Great Kinks choice. Haven't heard this in years...
	10:06am ghostlywarble: This Thomas Edisun's Electric Light Bulb Band record was on Ken's show yesterday. I LOVE IT. I think I first heard something from this band on a soundtrack to a french movie from a few years back - does anyone remember something like this?
	10:07am Greg from Bloomfield: Working from home!!! That means blasting Joe, watching baseball, and possibly drinking beer.
	10:08am Joe McG: Hey, Greg! Better be careful of what order you do those things in.
	10:10am dc pat: @Greg: I always make sure I'm "working" "from" "home" when there are big soccer matches on. Going to be doing a lot of "working" @ "home" during the world cup.
	10:11am Rev. Turnip Druid: What Pat said.
	10:11am Rev. Turnip Druid: Drinking from home? whut? sorry, can't hear you... I think I'm on a conference call with the ... *urp... the office..
	10:12am βrian: I think we should get over ourselves and start calling it "football."
	10:14am Rev. Turnip Druid: The other game is properly known as "commercial-break-ball" I think.
	10:14am Joe McG: @Brian: How 'bout "footie ball"?
	10:15am earrie: Hey, let's attack the idea that anyone can productively work out of a home office!
	10:15am βrian: Brain-ball is what we know in the U.S.
	10:16am earrie: I can also walk and chew gum at the same time. It's an amazing feat, I know.
	10:16am Cheri Pi: P@!
	10:17am dc pat: Eh, I don't mind "soccer." That's what they call it in Ireland.. It comes from AsSOCiation Football.
	10:18am dc pat: I get WAY more done when telecommuting. Especially when UEFA is on.
	10:19am DCE: hey gang, just back from a meeting.
	10:19am Eli: Arthur, I HAVE tried! You're the one who doesn't listen. Eli
	10:19am Cheri Pi: dootootootootootoo!!
	10:20am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Hounds of Love! I just turned up the volume WAY UP!
	10:20am βrian: Seems like it would take many years of drunken slurring to progress from "Association Football" to "soccer." So it goes.
	10:21am duke: Love this song!
	10:21am Van in DC: KATE!
	10:21am common: man, hounds of love after arthur russell! so good joe!
	10:22am ghostlywarble: Cello Rockin'
	10:22am Van in DC: Thank you so much for that Joe!
	10:22am Karen in Sleepy Hollow: Thanks for the Kate!
	10:23am dc pat: It comes from the early days when "football" was splitting into Rugby Football and Association Football. Some prominent player was asked what side he was on and he said "I'M A SOCCER!" True story.
	10:23am Greg from Bloomfield: JOJO
	10:23am Joe McG: Hi, Karen!
	👻 10:24am 12539: Take it from me, weird things happen in Dreamland.
	10:26am Joe McG: @12539: Yeah, people forget to connect my cables!
	10:27am ╫Kℰ: Talking to the sniveling ocean-bottom detritus known as "(some) real estate brokers" makes me want to become a blackout soccer drunk, if only I had the taste for it. Bleh.
	10:28am Mike East: @Ike - did that Bay Ridge pad fall through?
	10:29am Van in DC: 3 weeks ago
	10:30am Cecile: Van, you got your tix?
	10:30am Van in DC: I was lucky enough to get a single ticket after trying and trying and trying for a looooong time
	10:30am Cecile: yayayayayay! right on Van.
	10:31am Ike: @Mike East, it's Sunset Park, and yes, looks that way.
	10:31am Van in DC: 31 years I've waited for her to tour again!!
	10:32am Cecile: MS 45 is an amazing movie.
	10:32am Cecile: Real tough stuff.
	10:32am Mike East: ah right. sorry man. housing searches can be frustrating...and I agree, you have to be a certain type of awful to get involved in real estate.
	10:33am Karen in Sleepy Hollow: Hey Joe! Ready for your cemetery tour yet?
	10:34am Joe McG: One of these days, Karen! @Cecile: Too tough for lil' ol' me!
	10:35am jamesie: rest in Peace Nico my mate
	10:36am dc pat: Huh, I know the soccer talk has died but my wife just sent me this link: mobile.nytimes.com...
	10:36am jamesie: who gave you the LSD, James? Er ....
	10:36am Cecile: this is a fun cover - Alexis Korner gave some of the Stones their start IIRC. It's not something you can watch all the time, but it's both a sympathetic and cautionary tale at the same time.
	10:38am jamesie: Alexis is getting Offenbach the Stones Lawyer to sue you , James. :[ 1971
	10:40am Van in DC: @dc pat - I was able to get away a little early yesterday, in time for the full 2nd half of the big soccer match. Man, that shot by Neymar off the post...oops. Wow.
	10:42am bibi: @pat, "You missed Wayne Rooney’s 58-yard wonder goal" : how to lose football relevance after half a sentence, football is a metric sport. period. seriously, i just love sneaking in a football conversation invovling northern americans.
	10:44am Cecile: you know the phrase "old college try" Bibi? at least the topic is being broached.
	10:46am dc pat: @Van: I missed that match but heard about the Neymar shot (lot of internationals work here) @bibi: Not so fast, yard-measurements are used officially in soccer still. At least in England, they do.
	10:47am Sem Chumbo: Got me a hankerin' for honky-tonkin'.
	10:49am Rev. Turnip Druid: Back from mtg., apologies for not being present to keep the footy blather going.
	10:49am bibi: @cecile, to be honest im glad north america (or at least us) gets some interest in football. watch out world cup is coming this summer ! @pat, yes, im kiddin, but 95% of football is praticed in metric territoory. btw isnt uk supposed to implement the metric system for good ?
	10:49am DCE: Edward Scissorhands?
	10:49am DCE: hey RTD, I met a compadre of yours last night, one "Mr Insect Factory"
	10:49am mariano: @dc pat: A lot of Commonwealth citizens also use the imperial system in every-day life. The one I still have trouble with is the British "stone" as a measure of weight: you have to multiply everything by 14.
	10:50am Rev. Turnip Druid: ...occupied as I am with the self-flagellation of being a DC United supporter (for the local fix) and Arsenal (for the EPL). It's all a bit too much scar-tissue of late...
	10:50am Rev. Turnip Druid: HEY DCE, that's right, Barsky is touring now. Most excellent. I get the occasional out-of-state beer reports. Sounds like a great trip so far.
	10:51am Cecile: this sounds like baby Abba!
	10:51am mariano: Speaking of metric, here's a trivia question, if you can resist the urge to Google: what's colder, -40F or -40C?
	10:51am Mike Sin: Geek facts re: Edwards Hand The group George Martin turned to producing when he got a bit fed up with the Beatles' White album sessions.
	10:51am Cecile: they are the same mariano.
	10:51am Joe McG: @Cecile: Rotterdam's answer to ABBA!
	10:51am still b/p: Dropped in as the Exciters were doing Tonight Tonight. And it was lucky lucky good good. Audio character of all these is good good.
	10:51am Sem Chumbo: They are the same.
	10:52am efd: finally, a Single File single that I played before you!
	10:52am efd: not that it's a competition or anything. Nope.
	10:52am Van in DC: Was thinking same thing Cecile
	10:52am Cecile: awesome - their English has that too-perfect sound. hahaha
	👻 10:53am Ken From Hyde Park: When the '70s are involved, EFD will be all over it.
	10:53am DCE: yeah RTD he did a real nice watermusic ebow loopy thing, seemed like a cool dude so I bought some records
	10:53am mariano: @Cecile: Shazbot!
	10:54am Cheri Pi: HUMAN LEAGUE!!
	10:54am Joe McG: @EFD: Ha ha ha!
	10:54am Cecile: na-nu! na-nu!
	10:54am bibi: @rev, being an arsenal fan is not only about winning. they are supposed to have style. well, ive always been too optimistic about arsenal. what happened to oezil... sorry joe for diverging from the imperial state human system.
	10:54am Rev. Turnip Druid: DCE: he's a class dude. Played a bunch together, he's guested (excellently) on a few of my things. Those Insect Factory releases are all solid.
	10:54am dc pat: are they the same Mariano? To continue with the Rev's train, I'm Liverpool and DCUnited so it's hot and cold with me right now...
	10:55am Cecile: speaking of the 70s, that Buffalo stuff was ridiculous. Did you know of this EFD?
	10:56am dc pat: Ozil better shape up for the World Cup, that's all I gotta say.. I'm also a Deutschland fan.
	10:56am Cecile: YES. I have this. The Cowgirls are awesome.
	10:56am Guido from Cologne: Hi Joe ! Champagne (Dutch group): Childhoods-memories. Funny: just read, that Nederbeat-Veteran Wally Tax (of Outsiders fame) was one of the main figures in the productions. Is Wally Tax also the composer?
	10:57am Cecile: here's what I wrote years ago: www.citypages.com...
	10:57am mariano: Aw yeah! Lazy Cowgirls!
	10:57am Cheri Pi: Cow Punk!
	10:58am efd: @Cecile I only heard about Buffalo maybe 10 years ago or so when some of their stuff was reissued on CD. But yeah, pretty killer!
	10:58am bibi: oezil 'should' be the best player around, what you think joe ?
	10:58am Joe McG: @bibi: Definitely!
	10:59am Cecile: They must have been pretty underground when I was in Oz 1975-76. I pretty much tried to read everything i could on every Oz band I ever heard of.
	11:00am Rev. Turnip Druid: @bibi: So many N.Americans go the easy route & support ManU/Chelsea right off -- For me Arsenal has infinitely more tension/drama/guts; they appealed straight away. Some close friends recently moved to Norwich so now I'm compelled to support the Canaries, at least politely.
	11:01am Cecile: a co-worker who used to play pro women's basketball and myself have comitted to being emotiionally involved in the MN Lynx season this year. They do have 2 championships. They are a great team.
	11:01am bibi: @pat, we ve been talking about oezil for 5mins and guido didnt mention anything about it, we must take conclusion : guido just doesnt care about fussball ;) @rev, arsenal scored what is undoubtly the most beautiful goal of 2013 vs norwich. a jewel.
	11:02am Cecile: Kurt Cobain tried to find Wally Tax when Nirvana toured the Netherlands in the early 90s.
	11:02am Guido from Cologne: Thanks 4 the info!
	11:03am Mike East: I've pretty much given up on trying to get into following sports. Now I follow PBS cooking shows.
	11:04am bibi: found a subtle montage with eurotrance soundtrack, joe will love it. www.youtube.com...
	👻 11:04am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Have you got Fitba Crazy by Robin Hall & Jimmy MacGregor. www.youtube.com...
	11:05am βrian: When I discovered that the Detroit Tigers players were not necessarily from Detroit, I was done with sports.
	👻 11:05am Brian in UK: Alexis Korner, great talking voice.
	11:06am still b/p: (Patti/Aretha fistfight story fake.)
	11:07am Lewis: @joe - speaking of swag, did you get my list?
	11:07am Guido from Cologne: New Vocal Solists : translation of the name
	11:07am Cecile: they are divas. They might break a nail. They would get someone to fight for them. :D
	11:07am bibi: @cecile, cobain was impressively informed, he's probably the only american i ever heard having interest for chokebore for example.
	11:08am Rev. Turnip Druid: @Bibi - That's a lovely dance (goal montage). I would have literally burst into flames, had I seen it live.
	11:09am Cecile: when I discovered how much domestic abuse pro athletes get away in the NBA, I was done with sports. Him and one of my friends. hahahaha But seriously, Kurt seemsed to be a sponge for music info.
	11:11am Joe McG: @Lewis: Send me an e-mail after the show and I'll check on it for you!
	👻 11:12am Brian in UK: Now Neil Hannon you want to talk about cricket with Duckworth Lewis Method more complex than the offside rule.
	11:12am dale: love the divine comedy album this came from, 'short album about love'
	11:12am Greg from Bloomfield: WHAT. Is this song about the movie Critters (1986)? Let's just say it is.
	11:12am dc pat: that Wilshire goal is just plain ridiculous...
	11:13am Rev. Turnip Druid: proud swag-hag here... will suffer over the question of just WHAT beverage should be used to baptize the FMU flask..
	11:14am Cecile: you got yours already?!?!?!
	11:14am dale: AND 69 songs about love! it's a lovefest!!
	11:15am Rev. Turnip Druid: misleading comment. Sorry, no swag yet. Just anticipating that decision re: the flask... and of course pre-digging all the premiums...
	11:15am SeanG: Damn, Joe you're killin' me in a good way
	👻 11:15am Brian in UK: Joe you could segue to Stephin Merritt quite easily.
	👻 11:15am Brian in UK: Oh you have!!!!!
	11:15am Cecile: why is it that most "pop song geniuses" leave me cold? I try, but Divine Comedy, Mag Fields, later Squeeze, most XTC I just don't get the excitement.
	👻 11:16am Brian in UK: David Poe?
	11:17am Van in DC: I have to disappear - wanted to get a Thank You Joe!! in first (most especially for the KaTe)
	11:17am Cheri Pi: there was a package in the mail from FMU the other day, I started to tear it open with my teeth, BUT THEN....BUT THEN....I saw that it was for Mr CP the Younger. I am now dating another human being who owns a WFMU t-shirt.
	11:17am dc pat: I dig a lot of pop but get sick and tired of my friends gushing over Brian Wilson and Robin Hitchcock, etc...
	11:18am bibi: @cecile, dont say it too loud, but im with you (minus xtc).
	11:18am Greg from Bloomfield: You're living the dream, CP.
	11:18am Joe McG: @Brian: Dream segueway! @Van: have a good one, Van!
	11:18am marmalade kitty: I got my t-shirt yesterday! vey smart! thanks wfmu!
	11:19am Cheri Pi: Some people just get way too excited about harmonies. Give me dissonance and a tall stout to pair it with any day.
	11:20am Cecile: yeah, I guess so. Then again I am a complete stupid sucker for doo-wop and more Quiet Storm stuff than i want to admit.
	11:20am dale: martin fry was a genius songwriter - at first.
	11:20am Cheri Pi: OMG, I'm not one for sweet adult beverages but Sammy Smith's Organic Apricot??? It's not too early to talk about flasks yet izzit?
	11:21am marmalade kitty: very I havent had a drink.. yet
	11:21am βrian: When I heard Brian Wilson interviewed, I thought this guy's EEG must look like the horizon on a bestilled sea.
	11:21am Rev. Turnip Druid: I'm with you Cecile. Had a brief dig of all things XTC but that's about 10 years behind me. I still dig their Dukes project but the rest is kind of wallpaper to me now.
	11:21am Cecile: www.youtube.com... Midnight love....
	11:21am Andrew Waterloo: dissonance and a little dischord.
	11:21am mariano: Regarding the Merritt-guilt (there has to be a lovely word in German for that!), I was relieved the other night on Pseu's message board when people came out and said they wouldn't be watching the much-praised Kathleen Hanna documentary, which turned into a great discussion about other, better, unfairly forgotten riot grrrl bands.
	11:21am Cheri Pi: Make my Brian, Eno. or Life of... just saying.
	11:22am Cheri Pi: that's right LEVERT
	11:22am βrian: Guiness-onance?
	11:23am Cecile: Winter Spring SUmmer Fall, I'll give you my all...
	11:23am Joe McG: I love everybody.
	11:23am Cheri Pi: LOL @11:21 βrian:
	11:23am Cecile: I avoided Bikini Kill, but then I got that CD with Rebel Girl on it and it's pretty amazing. But Scrawl needs way more love. They were great.
	11:24am Cecile: I'll give Joe my all. He is all seasons.
	11:24am dc pat: I love first handful of XTC albums, but I'll take Ex-style craziness any day over harmonies....and a strong, dark bier. Also: “If you’re in a bar at 7 in morning with a pint of Guinness, you have a social problem. If you are in a bar at 7 in the morning with that same pint of Guinness and Chelsea is on TV, you’re a football fan.”
	11:25am Andrew Waterloo: don't forget Huggie Bear
	11:25am Joe McG: @Cecile: I'll take all you've got to give!
	11:25am Cecile: hahahahahha, Joe. This is now the second time I'm playing All Seasons on YouTube in a row. hahaha
	11:26am dc pat: But fuck Chelsea.
	11:28am ChrisB.: Joe, you have an uncanny knack for consistently playing things I have never heard, yet immediately cotton to. Such a gift.
	11:29am βrian: I hate to break it to you, but not all of Chelsea's players are necessarily from Chelsea.
	11:29am Joe McG: Shucks, ChrisB!
	11:29am Cecile: THROUGH THE SNOW THROUGH THE RAIN...
	11:29am Rev. Turnip Druid: whoa. Two Huggy Bear references on two different sites at the exact same minute. WHAT ARE THE ODDS....?
	11:30am Cecile: ok, i'm done now.
	11:30am still b/p: He's Cotton Idea Joe.
	👻 11:30am Brian in UK: Southampton has arguably the best Premier League Youth policy.
	11:30am dc pat: Are any? Whatchootalkin bout Brian? I just can't stand Marinho (although he is amazing) and always seems like Chelsea is in my team's way.
	11:30am βrian: (Damn mercenaries!)
	11:31am dc pat: ..and John Terry, wooo what a redneck.
	11:31am blee: DORIE PREVIN!!!
	👻 11:32am Brian in UK: @βrian A new name for sport has not been invented yet to included the greed that huge wages perforces
	11:32am blee: (sic) arghhj
	11:34am Cecile: moneyball.
	11:38am still b/p: MammonJammin'.
	11:38am dc pat: oh man, I know what you did wrong Lesley!
	11:39am Cecile: yeah. nothing.
	11:39am Joe McG: @dc pat: Ha ha ha!
	👻 11:40am Brian in UK: On MoWest?
	11:42am grubbus: Jacksone-Browne
	11:43am Joe McG: @grubbus: Crossed with Todd Rundgren!
	11:43am Cecile: rupert, ai yi yi. who was the piano player on the Doheny track? He or she was feeling it.
	11:44am Greg from Bloomfield: Whoa, shit's getting REAL in this set.
	11:44am Guido from Cologne: ... we had this discussion about the most hated Beatles songs yesterday ...
	11:45am Joe McG: @Greg: Yacht rockers can get lethal.
	11:45am Cecile: somewhere in the hell I maintain in an alternate universe, Rupert and Dean Friedman are boiling in hot oil.
	11:46am mariano: Rupert Holmes was probably the inspiration for Christian Bale's look in American Hustle. The yacht rocker who looked most like a serial killer.
	11:47am mariano: seventiesmusic.files.wordpress.com...
	👻 11:47am Brian in UK: Sad but uplifting song.
	11:47am Guido from Cologne: I learned something today: about the phenomenum of yacht rockers (never heard).
	11:47am Cecile: I can only think that this song would be better sung by Jerry Reed. I am terrible.
	👻 11:48am Brian in UK: Joe getting dangerously close to Ackles country!!!
	11:48am Cecile: Guildo, google Yacht Rock tv show it is hilarious.
	11:48am dc pat: holy shit...is this the saddest song ever???
	11:48am common: @guido: i recall discovering that phenom. cecile is correct!
	11:49am Georgia: @dc pat Yes. Yes it is.
	11:49am Joe McG: @Brian: Wish I had time for some Ackles! Great idea!
	11:49am common: dude from red house painters aint too happy...ever.
	11:49am mariano: @Guido: If you like pina coladas...
	11:50am Cecile: no pat, that would be the Beach Boy's "Till I Die". This is pretty sad though Mark Kozelak makes me laugh. i'm sorry.
	11:50am Cecile: ALthought his AC/DC tribute album was amazing.
	👻 11:51am Brian in UK: Joe I only discovered the other day that the Young brother that stayed in the UK (George, Malcolm & Schoolboy went to Australia) went on to form Grapefruit.
	11:51am Andrew Waterloo: I heard that there is a series of documentaries about Yacht rock on Youtube. ... if that hasn't been mentioned.
	11:52am Cecile: not documentaries. Hysterical fake historical reenactments.
	11:52am common: @cecile: that one kills me. the one that really gets me - i've cried at work when i've heard it - is surf's up.
	👻 11:52am Brian in UK: RECORD STORE DAY ON SATURDAY, FOLKS
	👻 11:53am Brian in UK: @common maddest lyrics ever written.
	11:53am Georgia: A local bar I like did a Yacht Rock-themed New Year's party where they showed the series and the bartenders were dressed in period costume.
	11:53am still b/p: Just as you posted that I was about to post same: Saturday is Record Store Day! All kinds of appearances and releases.
	11:53am dc pat: Well. All mirth has been driven from my soul, thanks Joe...
	11:54am Cecile: common. That damn record tears me up. I saw a guy on the bus with a CD of Surf's Up/WIld HOney and I said "you are a hardcore BB fan." we had a great conversation.
	11:54am mariano: To me the funniest yacht-rock story is Seals & Croft. Right at the height of their Cali soft-rock glory, the go and release an anti-abortion album called Unborn Child. That'll really liven up a yacht party!
	11:54am Cecile: pat, it is better if you picture Jerry Reed singing it in "Eastbound and Down" style.
	11:54am Sem Chumbo: Three hours well spent here, Joe. Even with the soccer talk. Catch you next time.
	11:55am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting! Have a great week, everybody, and Happy Bunnies.
	11:55am earrie: Weighty lyrical emotions today, Joe. Simply sequential at the pace of each song, though sorta feeling like it's been in rapid succession.
	11:55am Cecile: mariano, I kind of like them in spite of myself. They were nice guys and could really play. THey did lots of session work with people like Glen Campbelll.
	👻 11:56am 12539: Thanks, Joe.
	11:56am still b/p: re: sad sounds -- Musician friend of mine can't fathom the appeal of Leonard Cohen with all the gloom.

	11:57am Cecile: I used to kind of like him, sbp, but a B&B owner in Quebec played him every morning at breakfast while we were there, and that killed him for me.
	11:58am mariano: @Cecile: Ok, I confess, I love the bass line in Hummingbird, and Summer Breeze is a guilty pleasure. Thanks for the show, Joe! @Guido: Holmes's Pina Colada is the theme song of yacht rock, I think.
	11:58am βrian: Sure that's not décolletage?

	9:03am Van in DC: boing! Hi Joe
	👻 9:04am Ken From Hyde Park: The Yips are coming! The Yips are coming!
	9:04am HEAT: gmorning Joe!
	9:04am Cheri Pi: whutwhutwhutwhutwhut
	9:05am bibi: hi all. joe, where is your crazy jingle taken from ? if it's an original production, then my respect to wfmu will reach an unbearable level.
	9:06am Parq: Radio ... radio ...
	9:06am Parq: Bibi, hint: take a look at Cheri Pi's profile pic.
	9:07am Joe McG: Good morning, common, Van, Ken, HEAT, Cheri, bibi, and Parq! @bibi: Alas, not an original production... Cheri's avatar is a big clue.
	9:08am common: love the image of kerouac holding his purring cat up to the moon. nice.
	9:09am Cory: Hey Joe, thanks for giving my day a cool start.
	👻 9:09am 12539: Joe, today I woke from a dream of you with a mirror propped on a piano on stage, singing "One is the Loneliest Number," at a music hall, but there was no sound, and we in the audience were trying to figure out why the cables weren't working. I'm not kidding. Should I be scared?
	👻 9:10am 12539: By the way, today's show is starting out much better.
	9:10am bibi: oh boys, how couldnt i guess it by myself, thx. btw, never managed to get my avatar gif animated, though being an original animated gif... she's supposed to move her lips, but now she just looks like another botox collateral damage.
	9:11am Joe McG: You bet, Cory! @12539: That's a completely bizarre coincidence since the other day in the office I was singing "One is the Loneliest Number" at the top of my voice in Three Dog Night style! You're scaring ME.
	9:13am Sem Chumbo: On the road with Joe McGasko. Nice.
	9:14am common: ah. synchronicity, 12539 & joe!
	9:17am Parq: Bass nerd that I am, I'm lovin' the bottom on this Osborne.
	9:18am Joe McG: @Parq: Tommy Potter on bass, woo hoo!
	9:24am Brendan: Hi Joe, all.
	9:25am Joe McG: Hey, Brendan! Welcome to you and Sem also!
	9:28am Brendan: Just a man his piano and his thoughts
	9:29am Brendan: Str8 from the heart , unpretentious
	9:30am Brendan: Traveling across the country like a folk singer, with his piano on his back
	9:34am Roberto: Should be Lie Lady Lie...but whatevs.
	9:37am Joe McG: Ha ha, Roberto!
	9:38am Rev. Turnip Druid: PEOPLE.
	9:41am Joe McG: Hey, Rev!
	9:47am Cheri Pi: PAPPA!
	9:48am Brendan: Love the Doc Watson version of Summertime
	9:49am Joe McG: @Cheri: MA!
	9:49am Rev. Turnip Druid: JOE PI!
	9:54am dc pat: McGasko! Pi! Rev! Others!
	9:54am Joe McG: Hi, dc pat!
	9:55am Rev. Turnip Druid: JOE PAT!
	9:56am AZ Dave: Some think Summertime has been performed more than any other piece of music.
	9:58am dc pat: I would say, that is acceptable @AZ Dave.
	10:01am V Priceless: Hi Joe! Kinks Konker!
	10:01am dc pat: wow. Great Kinks choice. Haven't heard this in years...
	10:06am ghostlywarble: This Thomas Edisun's Electric Light Bulb Band record was on Ken's show yesterday. I LOVE IT. I think I first heard something from this band on a soundtrack to a french movie from a few years back - does anyone remember something like this?
	10:07am Greg from Bloomfield: Working from home!!! That means blasting Joe, watching baseball, and possibly drinking beer.
	10:08am Joe McG: Hey, Greg! Better be careful of what order you do those things in.
	10:10am dc pat: @Greg: I always make sure I'm "working" "from" "home" when there are big soccer matches on. Going to be doing a lot of "working" @ "home" during the world cup.
	10:11am Rev. Turnip Druid: What Pat said.
	10:11am Rev. Turnip Druid: Drinking from home? whut? sorry, can't hear you... I think I'm on a conference call with the ... *urp... the office..
	10:12am βrian: I think we should get over ourselves and start calling it "football."
	10:14am Rev. Turnip Druid: The other game is properly known as "commercial-break-ball" I think.
	10:14am Joe McG: @Brian: How 'bout "footie ball"?
	10:15am earrie: Hey, let's attack the idea that anyone can productively work out of a home office!
	10:15am βrian: Brain-ball is what we know in the U.S.
	10:16am earrie: I can also walk and chew gum at the same time. It's an amazing feat, I know.
	10:16am Cheri Pi: P@!
	10:17am dc pat: Eh, I don't mind "soccer." That's what they call it in Ireland.. It comes from AsSOCiation Football.
	10:18am dc pat: I get WAY more done when telecommuting. Especially when UEFA is on.
	10:19am DCE: hey gang, just back from a meeting.
	10:19am Eli: Arthur, I HAVE tried! You're the one who doesn't listen. Eli
	10:19am Cheri Pi: dootootootootootoo!!
	10:20am ᏠЄႶႶỊѺµЄ: Hounds of Love! I just turned up the volume WAY UP!
	10:20am βrian: Seems like it would take many years of drunken slurring to progress from "Association Football" to "soccer." So it goes.
	10:21am duke: Love this song!
	10:21am Van in DC: KATE!
	10:21am common: man, hounds of love after arthur russell! so good joe!
	10:22am ghostlywarble: Cello Rockin'
	10:22am Van in DC: Thank you so much for that Joe!
	10:22am Karen in Sleepy Hollow: Thanks for the Kate!
	10:23am dc pat: It comes from the early days when "football" was splitting into Rugby Football and Association Football. Some prominent player was asked what side he was on and he said "I'M A SOCCER!" True story.
	10:23am Greg from Bloomfield: JOJO
	10:23am Joe McG: Hi, Karen!
	👻 10:24am 12539: Take it from me, weird things happen in Dreamland.
	10:26am Joe McG: @12539: Yeah, people forget to connect my cables!
	10:27am ╫Kℰ: Talking to the sniveling ocean-bottom detritus known as "(some) real estate brokers" makes me want to become a blackout soccer drunk, if only I had the taste for it. Bleh.
	10:28am Mike East: @Ike - did that Bay Ridge pad fall through?
	10:29am Van in DC: 3 weeks ago
	10:30am Cecile: Van, you got your tix?
	10:30am Van in DC: I was lucky enough to get a single ticket after trying and trying and trying for a looooong time
	10:30am Cecile: yayayayayay! right on Van.
	10:31am Ike: @Mike East, it's Sunset Park, and yes, looks that way.
	10:31am Van in DC: 31 years I've waited for her to tour again!!
	10:32am Cecile: MS 45 is an amazing movie.
	10:32am Cecile: Real tough stuff.
	10:32am Mike East: ah right. sorry man. housing searches can be frustrating...and I agree, you have to be a certain type of awful to get involved in real estate.
	10:33am Karen in Sleepy Hollow: Hey Joe! Ready for your cemetery tour yet?
	10:34am Joe McG: One of these days, Karen! @Cecile: Too tough for lil' ol' me!
	10:35am jamesie: rest in Peace Nico my mate
	10:36am dc pat: Huh, I know the soccer talk has died but my wife just sent me this link: mobile.nytimes.com...
	10:36am jamesie: who gave you the LSD, James? Er ....
	10:36am Cecile: this is a fun cover - Alexis Korner gave some of the Stones their start IIRC. It's not something you can watch all the time, but it's both a sympathetic and cautionary tale at the same time.
	10:38am jamesie: Alexis is getting Offenbach the Stones Lawyer to sue you , James. :[ 1971
	10:40am Van in DC: @dc pat - I was able to get away a little early yesterday, in time for the full 2nd half of the big soccer match. Man, that shot by Neymar off the post...oops. Wow.
	10:42am bibi: @pat, "You missed Wayne Rooney’s 58-yard wonder goal" : how to lose football relevance after half a sentence, football is a metric sport. period. seriously, i just love sneaking in a football conversation invovling northern americans.
	10:44am Cecile: you know the phrase "old college try" Bibi? at least the topic is being broached.
	10:46am dc pat: @Van: I missed that match but heard about the Neymar shot (lot of internationals work here) @bibi: Not so fast, yard-measurements are used officially in soccer still. At least in England, they do.
	10:47am Sem Chumbo: Got me a hankerin' for honky-tonkin'.
	10:49am Rev. Turnip Druid: Back from mtg., apologies for not being present to keep the footy blather going.
	10:49am bibi: @cecile, to be honest im glad north america (or at least us) gets some interest in football. watch out world cup is coming this summer ! @pat, yes, im kiddin, but 95% of football is praticed in metric territoory. btw isnt uk supposed to implement the metric system for good ?
	10:49am DCE: Edward Scissorhands?
	10:49am DCE: hey RTD, I met a compadre of yours last night, one "Mr Insect Factory"
	10:49am mariano: @dc pat: A lot of Commonwealth citizens also use the imperial system in every-day life. The one I still have trouble with is the British "stone" as a measure of weight: you have to multiply everything by 14.
	10:50am Rev. Turnip Druid: ...occupied as I am with the self-flagellation of being a DC United supporter (for the local fix) and Arsenal (for the EPL). It's all a bit too much scar-tissue of late...
	10:50am Rev. Turnip Druid: HEY DCE, that's right, Barsky is touring now. Most excellent. I get the occasional out-of-state beer reports. Sounds like a great trip so far.
	10:51am Cecile: this sounds like baby Abba!
	10:51am mariano: Speaking of metric, here's a trivia question, if you can resist the urge to Google: what's colder, -40F or -40C?
	10:51am Mike Sin: Geek facts re: Edwards Hand The group George Martin turned to producing when he got a bit fed up with the Beatles' White album sessions.
	10:51am Cecile: they are the same mariano.
	10:51am Joe McG: @Cecile: Rotterdam's answer to ABBA!
	10:51am still b/p: Dropped in as the Exciters were doing Tonight Tonight. And it was lucky lucky good good. Audio character of all these is good good.
	10:51am Sem Chumbo: They are the same.
	10:52am efd: finally, a Single File single that I played before you!
	10:52am efd: not that it's a competition or anything. Nope.
	10:52am Van in DC: Was thinking same thing Cecile
	10:52am Cecile: awesome - their English has that too-perfect sound. hahaha
	👻 10:53am Ken From Hyde Park: When the '70s are involved, EFD will be all over it.
	10:53am DCE: yeah RTD he did a real nice watermusic ebow loopy thing, seemed like a cool dude so I bought some records
	10:53am mariano: @Cecile: Shazbot!
	10:54am Cheri Pi: HUMAN LEAGUE!!
	10:54am Joe McG: @EFD: Ha ha ha!
	10:54am Cecile: na-nu! na-nu!
	10:54am bibi: @rev, being an arsenal fan is not only about winning. they are supposed to have style. well, ive always been too optimistic about arsenal. what happened to oezil... sorry joe for diverging from the imperial state human system.
	10:54am Rev. Turnip Druid: DCE: he's a class dude. Played a bunch together, he's guested (excellently) on a few of my things. Those Insect Factory releases are all solid.
	10:54am dc pat: are they the same Mariano? To continue with the Rev's train, I'm Liverpool and DCUnited so it's hot and cold with me right now...
	10:55am Cecile: speaking of the 70s, that Buffalo stuff was ridiculous. Did you know of this EFD?
	10:56am dc pat: Ozil better shape up for the World Cup, that's all I gotta say.. I'm also a Deutschland fan.
	10:56am Cecile: YES. I have this. The Cowgirls are awesome.
	10:56am Guido from Cologne: Hi Joe ! Champagne (Dutch group): Childhoods-memories. Funny: just read, that Nederbeat-Veteran Wally Tax (of Outsiders fame) was one of the main figures in the productions. Is Wally Tax also the composer?
	10:57am Cecile: here's what I wrote years ago: www.citypages.com...
	10:57am mariano: Aw yeah! Lazy Cowgirls!
	10:57am Cheri Pi: Cow Punk!
	10:58am efd: @Cecile I only heard about Buffalo maybe 10 years ago or so when some of their stuff was reissued on CD. But yeah, pretty killer!
	10:58am bibi: oezil 'should' be the best player around, what you think joe ?
	10:58am Joe McG: @bibi: Definitely!
	10:59am Cecile: They must have been pretty underground when I was in Oz 1975-76. I pretty much tried to read everything i could on every Oz band I ever heard of.
	11:00am Rev. Turnip Druid: @bibi: So many N.Americans go the easy route & support ManU/Chelsea right off -- For me Arsenal has infinitely more tension/drama/guts; they appealed straight away. Some close friends recently moved to Norwich so now I'm compelled to support the Canaries, at least politely.
	11:01am Cecile: a co-worker who used to play pro women's basketball and myself have comitted to being emotiionally involved in the MN Lynx season this year. They do have 2 championships. They are a great team.
	11:01am bibi: @pat, we ve been talking about oezil for 5mins and guido didnt mention anything about it, we must take conclusion : guido just doesnt care about fussball ;) @rev, arsenal scored what is undoubtly the most beautiful goal of 2013 vs norwich. a jewel.
	11:02am Cecile: Kurt Cobain tried to find Wally Tax when Nirvana toured the Netherlands in the early 90s.
	11:02am Guido from Cologne: Thanks 4 the info!
	11:03am Mike East: I've pretty much given up on trying to get into following sports. Now I follow PBS cooking shows.
	11:04am bibi: found a subtle montage with eurotrance soundtrack, joe will love it. www.youtube.com...
	👻 11:04am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Have you got Fitba Crazy by Robin Hall & Jimmy MacGregor. www.youtube.com...
	11:05am βrian: When I discovered that the Detroit Tigers players were not necessarily from Detroit, I was done with sports.
	👻 11:05am Brian in UK: Alexis Korner, great talking voice.
	11:06am still b/p: (Patti/Aretha fistfight story fake.)
	11:07am Lewis: @joe - speaking of swag, did you get my list?
	11:07am Guido from Cologne: New Vocal Solists : translation of the name
	11:07am Cecile: they are divas. They might break a nail. They would get someone to fight for them. :D
	11:07am bibi: @cecile, cobain was impressively informed, he's probably the only american i ever heard having interest for chokebore for example.
	11:08am Rev. Turnip Druid: @Bibi - That's a lovely dance (goal montage). I would have literally burst into flames, had I seen it live.
	11:09am Cecile: when I discovered how much domestic abuse pro athletes get away in the NBA, I was done with sports. Him and one of my friends. hahahaha But seriously, Kurt seemsed to be a sponge for music info.
	11:11am Joe McG: @Lewis: Send me an e-mail after the show and I'll check on it for you!
	👻 11:12am Brian in UK: Now Neil Hannon you want to talk about cricket with Duckworth Lewis Method more complex than the offside rule.
	11:12am dale: love the divine comedy album this came from, 'short album about love'
	11:12am Greg from Bloomfield: WHAT. Is this song about the movie Critters (1986)? Let's just say it is.
	11:12am dc pat: that Wilshire goal is just plain ridiculous...
	11:13am Rev. Turnip Druid: proud swag-hag here... will suffer over the question of just WHAT beverage should be used to baptize the FMU flask..
	11:14am Cecile: you got yours already?!?!?!
	11:14am dale: AND 69 songs about love! it's a lovefest!!
	11:15am Rev. Turnip Druid: misleading comment. Sorry, no swag yet. Just anticipating that decision re: the flask... and of course pre-digging all the premiums...
	11:15am SeanG: Damn, Joe you're killin' me in a good way
	👻 11:15am Brian in UK: Joe you could segue to Stephin Merritt quite easily.
	👻 11:15am Brian in UK: Oh you have!!!!!
	11:15am Cecile: why is it that most "pop song geniuses" leave me cold? I try, but Divine Comedy, Mag Fields, later Squeeze, most XTC I just don't get the excitement.
	👻 11:16am Brian in UK: David Poe?
	11:17am Van in DC: I have to disappear - wanted to get a Thank You Joe!! in first (most especially for the KaTe)
	11:17am Cheri Pi: there was a package in the mail from FMU the other day, I started to tear it open with my teeth, BUT THEN....BUT THEN....I saw that it was for Mr CP the Younger. I am now dating another human being who owns a WFMU t-shirt.
	11:17am dc pat: I dig a lot of pop but get sick and tired of my friends gushing over Brian Wilson and Robin Hitchcock, etc...
	11:18am bibi: @cecile, dont say it too loud, but im with you (minus xtc).
	11:18am Greg from Bloomfield: You're living the dream, CP.
	11:18am Joe McG: @Brian: Dream segueway! @Van: have a good one, Van!
	11:18am marmalade kitty: I got my t-shirt yesterday! vey smart! thanks wfmu!
	11:19am Cheri Pi: Some people just get way too excited about harmonies. Give me dissonance and a tall stout to pair it with any day.
	11:20am Cecile: yeah, I guess so. Then again I am a complete stupid sucker for doo-wop and more Quiet Storm stuff than i want to admit.
	11:20am dale: martin fry was a genius songwriter - at first.
	11:20am Cheri Pi: OMG, I'm not one for sweet adult beverages but Sammy Smith's Organic Apricot??? It's not too early to talk about flasks yet izzit?
	11:21am marmalade kitty: very I havent had a drink.. yet
	11:21am βrian: When I heard Brian Wilson interviewed, I thought this guy's EEG must look like the horizon on a bestilled sea.
	11:21am Rev. Turnip Druid: I'm with you Cecile. Had a brief dig of all things XTC but that's about 10 years behind me. I still dig their Dukes project but the rest is kind of wallpaper to me now.
	11:21am Cecile: www.youtube.com... Midnight love....
	11:21am Andrew Waterloo: dissonance and a little dischord.
	11:21am mariano: Regarding the Merritt-guilt (there has to be a lovely word in German for that!), I was relieved the other night on Pseu's message board when people came out and said they wouldn't be watching the much-praised Kathleen Hanna documentary, which turned into a great discussion about other, better, unfairly forgotten riot grrrl bands.
	11:21am Cheri Pi: Make my Brian, Eno. or Life of... just saying.
	11:22am Cheri Pi: that's right LEVERT
	11:22am βrian: Guiness-onance?
	11:23am Cecile: Winter Spring SUmmer Fall, I'll give you my all...
	11:23am Joe McG: I love everybody.
	11:23am Cheri Pi: LOL @11:21 βrian:
	11:23am Cecile: I avoided Bikini Kill, but then I got that CD with Rebel Girl on it and it's pretty amazing. But Scrawl needs way more love. They were great.
	11:24am Cecile: I'll give Joe my all. He is all seasons.
	11:24am dc pat: I love first handful of XTC albums, but I'll take Ex-style craziness any day over harmonies....and a strong, dark bier. Also: “If you’re in a bar at 7 in morning with a pint of Guinness, you have a social problem. If you are in a bar at 7 in the morning with that same pint of Guinness and Chelsea is on TV, you’re a football fan.”
	11:25am Andrew Waterloo: don't forget Huggie Bear
	11:25am Joe McG: @Cecile: I'll take all you've got to give!
	11:25am Cecile: hahahahahha, Joe. This is now the second time I'm playing All Seasons on YouTube in a row. hahaha
	11:26am dc pat: But fuck Chelsea.
	11:28am ChrisB.: Joe, you have an uncanny knack for consistently playing things I have never heard, yet immediately cotton to. Such a gift.
	11:29am βrian: I hate to break it to you, but not all of Chelsea's players are necessarily from Chelsea.
	11:29am Joe McG: Shucks, ChrisB!
	11:29am Cecile: THROUGH THE SNOW THROUGH THE RAIN...
	11:29am Rev. Turnip Druid: whoa. Two Huggy Bear references on two different sites at the exact same minute. WHAT ARE THE ODDS....?
	11:30am Cecile: ok, i'm done now.
	11:30am still b/p: He's Cotton Idea Joe.
	👻 11:30am Brian in UK: Southampton has arguably the best Premier League Youth policy.
	11:30am dc pat: Are any? Whatchootalkin bout Brian? I just can't stand Marinho (although he is amazing) and always seems like Chelsea is in my team's way.
	11:30am βrian: (Damn mercenaries!)
	11:31am dc pat: ..and John Terry, wooo what a redneck.
	11:31am blee: DORIE PREVIN!!!
	👻 11:32am Brian in UK: @βrian A new name for sport has not been invented yet to included the greed that huge wages perforces
	11:32am blee: (sic) arghhj
	11:34am Cecile: moneyball.
	11:38am still b/p: MammonJammin'.
	11:38am dc pat: oh man, I know what you did wrong Lesley!
	11:39am Cecile: yeah. nothing.
	11:39am Joe McG: @dc pat: Ha ha ha!
	👻 11:40am Brian in UK: On MoWest?
	11:42am grubbus: Jacksone-Browne
	11:43am Joe McG: @grubbus: Crossed with Todd Rundgren!
	11:43am Cecile: rupert, ai yi yi. who was the piano player on the Doheny track? He or she was feeling it.
	11:44am Greg from Bloomfield: Whoa, shit's getting REAL in this set.
	11:44am Guido from Cologne: ... we had this discussion about the most hated Beatles songs yesterday ...
	11:45am Joe McG: @Greg: Yacht rockers can get lethal.
	11:45am Cecile: somewhere in the hell I maintain in an alternate universe, Rupert and Dean Friedman are boiling in hot oil.
	11:46am mariano: Rupert Holmes was probably the inspiration for Christian Bale's look in American Hustle. The yacht rocker who looked most like a serial killer.
	11:47am mariano: seventiesmusic.files.wordpress.com...
	👻 11:47am Brian in UK: Sad but uplifting song.
	11:47am Guido from Cologne: I learned something today: about the phenomenum of yacht rockers (never heard).
	11:47am Cecile: I can only think that this song would be better sung by Jerry Reed. I am terrible.
	👻 11:48am Brian in UK: Joe getting dangerously close to Ackles country!!!
	11:48am Cecile: Guildo, google Yacht Rock tv show it is hilarious.
	11:48am dc pat: holy shit...is this the saddest song ever???
	11:48am common: @guido: i recall discovering that phenom. cecile is correct!
	11:49am Georgia: @dc pat Yes. Yes it is.
	11:49am Joe McG: @Brian: Wish I had time for some Ackles! Great idea!
	11:49am common: dude from red house painters aint too happy...ever.
	11:49am mariano: @Guido: If you like pina coladas...
	11:50am Cecile: no pat, that would be the Beach Boy's "Till I Die". This is pretty sad though Mark Kozelak makes me laugh. i'm sorry.
	11:50am Cecile: ALthought his AC/DC tribute album was amazing.
	👻 11:51am Brian in UK: Joe I only discovered the other day that the Young brother that stayed in the UK (George, Malcolm & Schoolboy went to Australia) went on to form Grapefruit.
	11:51am Andrew Waterloo: I heard that there is a series of documentaries about Yacht rock on Youtube. ... if that hasn't been mentioned.
	11:52am Cecile: not documentaries. Hysterical fake historical reenactments.
	11:52am common: @cecile: that one kills me. the one that really gets me - i've cried at work when i've heard it - is surf's up.
	👻 11:52am Brian in UK: RECORD STORE DAY ON SATURDAY, FOLKS
	👻 11:53am Brian in UK: @common maddest lyrics ever written.
	11:53am Georgia: A local bar I like did a Yacht Rock-themed New Year's party where they showed the series and the bartenders were dressed in period costume.
	11:53am still b/p: Just as you posted that I was about to post same: Saturday is Record Store Day! All kinds of appearances and releases.
	11:53am dc pat: Well. All mirth has been driven from my soul, thanks Joe...
	11:54am Cecile: common. That damn record tears me up. I saw a guy on the bus with a CD of Surf's Up/WIld HOney and I said "you are a hardcore BB fan." we had a great conversation.
	11:54am mariano: To me the funniest yacht-rock story is Seals & Croft. Right at the height of their Cali soft-rock glory, the go and release an anti-abortion album called Unborn Child. That'll really liven up a yacht party!
	11:54am Cecile: pat, it is better if you picture Jerry Reed singing it in "Eastbound and Down" style.
	11:54am Sem Chumbo: Three hours well spent here, Joe. Even with the soccer talk. Catch you next time.
	11:55am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting! Have a great week, everybody, and Happy Bunnies.
	11:55am earrie: Weighty lyrical emotions today, Joe. Simply sequential at the pace of each song, though sorta feeling like it's been in rapid succession.
	11:55am Cecile: mariano, I kind of like them in spite of myself. They were nice guys and could really play. THey did lots of session work with people like Glen Campbelll.
	👻 11:56am 12539: Thanks, Joe.
	11:56am still b/p: re: sad sounds -- Musician friend of mine can't fathom the appeal of Leonard Cohen with all the gloom.
	11:56am Greg from Bloomfield: Thanks, Joe!
	11:56am Cerys Matthews: Am I the Easter Bunny?
	11:56am SmokinJ: Nice stuff.. Adios!
	11:56am Guido from Cologne: ... allright i'm learning ... ... I'd love pina coladas just for the taste but hate them for the never ending desire of the next drink.
	11:57am Cecile: I used to kind of like him, sbp, but a B&B owner in Quebec played him every morning at breakfast while we were there, and that killed him for me.
	11:58am mariano: @Cecile: Ok, I confess, I love the bass line in Hummingbird, and Summer Breeze is a guilty pleasure. Thanks for the show, Joe! @Guido: Holmes's Pina Colada is the theme song of yacht rock, I think.
	11:58am βrian: Sure that's not décolletage?
	11:58am dc pat: www.legacy.com...
	11:59am Guido from Cologne: Bye bye Joe!
	11:59am dc pat: gotta love a true story song... Thanks Joe, later!
	12:00pm common: indeed cecile. thanks joe!
	4:38pm ben: i there I'm new, Welsh and in Zurich. Who played the North Korean propaganda stuff today. . any ideas?
