	9:05am SeanG: like very groovy, baby
	👻 9:05am 12539: @DCE - it just took them a few spins of the dial to find Joe's show.
	9:06am P-90: Nope nope nope nope
	👻 9:06am 12539: You'd think they'd have less trouble finding the station after all these years!
	👻 9:07am doctorjazz: Nice start, feeling groovy...
	9:08am Marcel M: Morning all morning Joe! Was nice to see you Sunday.
	9:09am Guido from Cologne: Good Morning Joe!
	9:09am Marcel M: Keep the spoon theme alive
	👻 9:13am doctorjazz: Got the easy listening juices flowin'
	9:13am common: i can see the red shag carpeting in my childhood home.
	9:13am Joe McG: Hey, everybody! As part of the Establishment, I can testify that some of the kids' music is actually really groovy.
	👻 9:13am doctorjazz: Got the easy listening juices flowin'
	9:13am fleep: Switched on greetings, Joe.
	9:14am Wendy del Formaggio: Good morning, Joe! Nice choice. I love the "Switched On Bacharach". I love regular Burt Bacharach, too.
	9:15am Laura L: @common--and avocado colored kitchen appliances... and orange Formica...
	9:15am common: @laura: absolutely!
	9:18am Marcel M: Wow what a funny song to make all smooth!

	9:19am Wendy del Formaggio: DC Pat!!! Big smooches to you from rainy VT!
	9:19am Laura L: And just smell those mountain-grown coffee crystals while you stir your instant coffee...
	👻 9:19am Brian in UK: Is this the way to San Jose?
	9:19am Dominick: A total gas, man!
	9:20am Guido from Cologne: Just as it is a bunch of 60ies Easy listening it's quite notable how mid-range-heavy those old strereo-mixes were. Should I say mixes? maybe "mastering" would be the right term to put.
	👻 9:21am Brian in UK: Talking of mastering, is there a better name than Bob Clearmountain?
	9:21am common: @ laura: hee. and, "hey mom, i'm gonna go outside and blow up some stuff with my m-80s." "that's fine, dear. be careful." i miss the 70s.
	9:22am Sem Chumbo: I understand Keith moonlighted as guest guitarist on this.
	9:22am Wendy del Formaggio: This song is a very unsettling experience.
	👻 9:22am Brian in UK: @Sem he tried but failed the audition.
	9:22am DCE: cool version
	9:23am Sem Chumbo: Living Dead Guitars, more like.
	9:25am DCE: Floyd Cramer playing the Monkees...what a concept!
	9:25am Laura L: @common--me too--though I don't miss the pantsuits we girls were finally permitted to wear at school instead of dresses in 1970. They looked like pajamas!
	9:25am DCE: this is cheering me up, outta the funk I'm in
	👻 9:25am Brian in UK: Is there an Archies tribute band?
	9:26am adrian in mpls: Wow, what a song to drop in to! Good morning everyone!
	9:26am northguineahills: I have that Switched on Bacharach. I suppose Living Guitars is an offshoot of Living Strings.
	👻 9:26am doctorjazz: I'm in love...
	👻 9:27am Webhamster Henry: This set is reminding me of when I used to tune in and hear Muzakky arrangements like these and think "Oh Irwin is doing something ironic" .. and then discover that I was listening to WPAT.
	9:27am Sem Chumbo: Hand clapping cannot save this,maybe more cowbell.
	9:27am common: @laura: I remember those! hee hee!
	9:28am Parq: Apparently, Spazz's mascot Bingo is programming this set.
	9:28am thedunkel: Great set this am - thanks joe!
	9:28am Guido from Cologne: country ABBA !
	👻 9:28am Brian in UK: Wot no K-Tel?
	9:29am Sem Chumbo: Hawaii 5-0 theme, by the Hee Haw house band up next.
	9:29am mike east: Is this the original? I only know the dahlmans version via Michael Shelley
	9:29am J-Mar: OMG, I used to have this Nashville Train record. I have no idea why I got rid of it -- sounds awesome. if I recall, the band was actually Swedish too.
	9:29am Wendy del Formaggio: Hello thedunkel! :-)
	9:30am northguineahills: @common: Me and my friends were still going out in the woods and kablooming things in the late 80s-early 90s. Then HS happened and music and girls took over my attention.
	9:31am GeesyCreesy: It ain't easy being cheesy, Joe
	9:32am Marcel M: I'd say comparing the music to camembert would be a compliment. Its not SO stinky and is nice and creamy.
	9:32am Dominick: Welcome cheeses, I want to eat you all!
	9:33am bobdoesthings: oh man the stream has been soooo spotty lately, even the slower 128 stream. anyone else?
	9:34am DCE: yep, bobdoesthings
	9:34am Marcel M: I've told you already but yes Bob its been killing me. Just cut out a few times right as you said it.
	👻 9:35am doctorjazz: Had trouble with the archive stream, live stream been behaving OK so far for me.
	9:35am common: same here, bob.
	9:36am mike east: I had trouble with flash yesterday bobdoesthings. Assumed it was spotty internet
	9:36am OTB: The pop-up player's been freaking out a LOT lately.
	👻 9:37am Brian in UK: Has a lovely Reblochon the other day, so good needed a spoon to eat it.
	9:38am Marcel M: I thought Donovan was DYLAN for the establishment?
	9:39am bobdoesthings: yeah, bummer. It's the worst when my FM signal gets spotty and I switch to the iPhone app and then that shits out.. Then I gotta plug in the laptop and run the slow stream
	9:40am Joe McG: @Marcel: Great to see you on Sunday, too! Hope you enjoyed the concert!
	9:42am mike east: This David kilgour is killer
	9:42am Greg from Bloomfield: Morning Joe & everybody! I notice the Kilgours are getting a lot of play this week...
	9:42am Marcel M: @Joe: I enjoyed it indeed! Was nice to see the new space. I also actually hung out in JC that day because my friend lives there. And what did we do? We went to the Newport Mall because my wife has never been to a mall. We lasted about ten minutes and then fled the scene.
	9:44am bobdoesthings: @marcel - hahaha that's funny imaging you and her going to a mall.. haha what was she expecting?! or did she just want to see it?
	9:45am d¢ pät: "never been to a mall" wow. I guess I haven't been to one in 15 years, thanks to the internets..
	9:46am Cecile: Marcel M. the estabilishment didn't get either of them unless someone was covering.
	9:47am Marcel M: @BOB: Malls hit Europe in a big(er) way around when she left and most people still don't really go to them. Its part of that American suburban sprawl imagery so she wanted to check it out. She expected it to be bad but we all had this image that it would be kinda fun. It just wasn't the same without the deeper Jersey experience of getting stuck in traffic on Route 4 and then experiencing the wonders of a massive mall parking garage hehe.
	9:47am Cecile: I go to them for the movies, and also the Women's Talbots - normal looking clothes in insane colors.
	9:48am Cecile: Marcel, you maybe need baby steps. A shopping center, perhaps. Or a strip mall.
	9:48am Marcel M: @Cecile: Just poking a little fun at ol' Donovan Dylan style a la Don't Look Back
	9:49am Marcel M: Oh don't get me wrong I'VE had many a mall experience. Its the Spanish wife who had not. Bob and I know a thing or two about Garden State Plaza let me tell you....
	9:50am bobdoesthings: ughhh yup
	9:50am Cecile: ah, got it. Also, a mall that is indeed kinda fun is Water Tower Place in Chicgao. everything is transparent - the floors outside of stores, the elevator. I say kinda because while I was admiring the architecture, I also have a ridiculous fear of heights.
	9:50am Cecile: I have a question - is it true that most of the best food in Jersey is at strip malls?
	9:50am mike east: I'm a willowbrook guy myself. I get way too lost at garden state
	9:51am bobdoesthings: @cecile - WHAT?! no! it's all chain garbage
	9:51am mike east: Also I take the bus from there sometimes
	9:51am Marcel M: @Mike: It has expanded greatly over the years. The movie theatre is actually pretty nice there.
	9:52am Marcel M: Well to be fair, in North Jersey, strip malls are so plenteous that there does happen to be good places in them. I mean think about it Bob most all Pizza places are in strip malls.
	9:52am Cecile: well, there's prolly some chain garbage, but it looks cool. Like cubic zirconium in a hand carved setting.
	9:53am Marcel M: Its like that in LA too... with cool clubs and bars. Someone is like, "Lets go to this great place!" and you pull into a strip mall like whaaaat? And yeah, it is actually a cool place.
	9:53am Marcel M: Inside that is.
	9:54am Cecile: yeah, there are some kickass places in strip malls here - two of my favorite Chinese restaurants.
	9:54am bobdoesthings: OHHHH "STRIP" malls.. that's just a bunch of stores next to each other.. I read it wrong. I thought you meant Mall food court food.. yuk . Yeah some of the best pizza and bagel places and local spots are wedged inbetween a bunch of stores..
	9:54am mike east: @cecile: it's true that most pizzerias tend to be in strip malls out here
	9:54am Cecile: oh, yeah, bob, you were talking about pizza.
	9:55am Cecile: no mall food generally sucks unless you are craving carbs.
	9:55am Marcel M: Growing up in NJ I also thought that Highways were littered with stores and restaurants everywhere else in the country. I would drive out to 17 from the city with friends from elsewhere and they would always be amazed by the strip mall paradise along the way...
	9:55am mike east: Also Long Island is one long strip mall
	9:55am Andrew Waterloo: Strip malls and plazas are the place to find anything sushi related.
	9:56am KP: Sky Green Leopards sound impressive
	9:57am Andrew Waterloo: The mall food court is the place where you have buy a hot dog to experience flavor.
	9:57am Cecile: Yeah. pretty much, Andrew.
	9:58am Marcel M: Your out in LA Cecile? I visited a few years ago. I don't think I could live there, but I think I could die there.
	9:59am Marcel M: you're**
	9:59am Cecile: Oh, no - I live in Minneapolis. We invented the indoor mall here. now I want a damn hot dog.
	9:59am mike east: I got food poisoning at a mall food court when I worked at borders.
	10:00am mike east: It's now a ghost mall
	10:00am Cecile: I worked at a mall hot dog stand. I am totally not surprised.
	10:00am Marcel M: @Cecile: Ah I see. I went to Hawaii once, they have indoor Malls that are also somehow outside.... very interesting indeed.
	10:00am Cecile: yay! new Savage Republic?!?!?
	10:01am Cecile: now I hear all the good plate lunch and casual restaurants are there, if Food Network is to be believed.
	10:01am Cecile: in the strip malls of Hawaii I mean
	10:03am Marcel M: Yes I believe that is true Cecile. I went to one that was great. For plate lunch that is.
	10:04am Marcel M: But the big "indoor" malls have no ceiling. So they are basically outside, since the weather is so nice.
	10:04am Marcel M: What a nice conversation on malls we are having! :-)
	10:08am adrian in mpls: I do have to say there have been a couple of times folks have visited me and wanted to see the mall of america -- and they seem very disappointed that it's just A REALLY BIG MALL. Not some transcendent commondity experience, or even a Vegas-style refracted spectacular-consumptive wonderland.
	10:10am KP: Like every one of these mostly instrumental bands that have been coming our way lately.
	10:10am Cecile: adrian, same here.
	10:10am common: i was there once, adrian. it was so cold, but i stood outside and waited for my friends.
	10:10am Cecile: KP - they are the grandaddies. Practically invented the sound.
	10:11am Marcel M: Yes although on a smaller scale, that was definitely the experience this past weekend.
	10:11am Cecile: Savage Republic, I mean.
	10:11am Andrew Waterloo: Are you saying the Mall of America doesn't have any submarines?
	10:11am Michele: HI Joe! Love the last couple songs in this set!
	10:11am KP: Really? Cool. it's driving music.
	10:11am HarktheUmpire: Did someone find some lost Sonic Youth tapes?
	10:12am Marcel M: Hi Michele!
	10:12am Cecile: NO SUBMARINES. NO GIANT ICE RINK. It is disappointing.
	10:12am Michele: Hi Marcel! Great show on Sunday right?!
	10:13am Joe McG: Hey, Michele! Great to see you at the concert the other night!
	10:13am d¢ pät: too bad that whenever some one detunes there guit, it sounds like SY.
	10:13am Marcel M: Yep I really enjoyed it!
	10:13am adrian in mpls: Michele - just have to say, the Shut Up Weirdo archives have been keeping me from losing my mind lately - so thanks!
	10:15am Andrew Waterloo: There is a classic Rick Mercer joke about the West Edmonton Mall having more submarines than the Canadian Navy.
	10:15am northguineahills: @dc pat: 9 times out of ten, it does.
	10:16am Cecile: Before i got to know them, I always thought SY sounded like gamelan
	10:16am Marcel M: My friends and I were actually just last night complaining about how Sonic Youth has usurped so many things. Not their fault or a legit complaint against them, but since they are pretty mainstream, a lot of their sounds are attributed to being quite unique to them, when in face, wise WFMU listeners like us, know they are not.
	10:17am Claw!: Hello, Joe! Good morning everyone!
	👻 10:17am Ken From Hyde Park: Come to www.deadmalls.com and shop around.
	10:17am Michele: @ adrian in mpls WOW! Thank you, so nice to hear that!!!
	10:18am Marcel M: Woah... the dead malls remembers the world trade center thing right at the top of the site is pretty off putting..
	10:20am Cecile: SY were just a bit past early adopters. They seemed to be good popularizers. If you look at Thurston interviews (as he was the trendiest of them), they broke Phillip K Dick to a lot hipsters in '87, free jazz in the early 90s, etc.
	10:21am Cecile: this was an excellent record that should have gotten more attention, and not just because Katie was in the band. :D
	10:22am adrian in mpls: always really liked this version of this song
	10:25am d¢ pät: You said it Cecile--seems like everybody was reading Phillip K Dick back then (except me). But there was no one else like them then.
	10:26am Yvonne Szymczak: I like the Les Baxter/Will Holt version, didn't know this one existed! Thank you for the music.
	10:27am Marcel M: The way they fused their noisy and experimental sound with pop surely was unique.
	10:27am Michele: I love this song
	10:27am Joe McG: @Yvonne: That is the first famous one, I think, although Nina Simone is THE most famous.
	10:28am DCE: only the crunchiest of guitars will do
	10:28am KP: Is this a bonus track on Super Hits? How did i miss it?
	10:29am Joe McG: @KP: No, it's on the new Vol. 2! Shelley outdoes himself on this one.
	👻 10:30am 12539: For a moment I was scared you were going to talk over this.
	10:30am Dr. Goot: Sweet Harrison cover!
	10:30am bobdoesthings: I've been sharing this with everyone.. I just can't help it - Billy Corgan with kitties -- 33.media.tumblr.com...
	10:31am DCE: I was just reading yesterday about how Harrison had to pay $646k (back in the early 70s) because "My Sweet Lord" was a blatant (subconscious) rip of "He's So Fine"
	10:31am Cecile: Marvel, being a fan of them was fun in that you could track and follow their interests and obsesssions.
	10:32am Marcel M: @Cecile: True. I'm not trying to diss them. I have all their albums for gods sake...
	10:32am KP: a collection from a certain someone else was a hit at recent gathering of which i had some interest.
	10:32am d¢ pät: wow, never knew how much dough he had to cough up for that.
	10:33am Cecile: DCE, yup! I learned about the band Crime through them. Me either, Marcel. I have nearly all their records as well.
	10:34am probablyjohn: it is like "KILG-hour", but it's hard to make that sound more correct than "kill-gore" unless you feign an accent.
	10:35am Greg from Bloomfield: I always said "Kil-gore", but Sir Richard said "Kil-gower" when he introduced Hamish, so I'm switching.
	10:37am Joe McG: Thanks for the pronunciation help, fellas! I should have tried it with a kiwi accent.
	10:37am Cecile: Just say it with your teeth clenched. Or clinched.
	10:37am Lewis: Any one else have trouble with the stream?
	10:38am KP: in other words, It's a Sunshine Day was well received.
	10:38am Robert: Lewis, I don't know whether Mr. McGasko is intentionally doing a mix, or that's "trouble with the stream".
	10:39am Cecile: Lewis, I am.
	10:39am Joe McG: @KP: Good to hear! @Robert: Nope, no mixing going on here!
	10:39am d¢ pät: I thought I heard a couple of skips but thought those were the 45s
	10:40am Lewis: Cecile - maybe it is a twin cities thing?...
	10:40am Robert: Oh, then it's trouble with the stream. But I like the effect!
	10:40am Cecile: Could be Lewis!
	10:40am probablyjohn: stream 0 and 3 are both fine in these twin cities
	10:41am DJ MoneyBag$: Mix Master McG is within the house
	10:41am Robert: In the reminiscence by Steve Post (scan missing a few pp. linked from Blast of Hot Air), he writes of being pleased at the mix he was hearing from a certain station as he was driving, only to realize it'd been 2 stations alternating.
	10:41am DJ Stashu: I am also having trouble with the stream :(
	10:42am Joe McG: @Moneybags: Ha ha!
	10:42am Dr. Goot: What's on the flip of "I've Returned"?
	10:42am Joe McG: Hey, Jeff, if you're out there this mornin', can you have a look? Thanks!
	10:43am DJ Stashu: The stream seems to be OK now :)
	10:43am Joe McG: @Goot: "When the Hangover Strikes," which I also like!
	10:43am d¢ pät: I'd like to just say here real quickly that I can't stand Squeeze. Ok shutting the hell up now..
	10:44am Dr. Goot: Me too, thanks Joe!
	👻 10:44am Ken From Hyde Park: I also noticed a couple hiccups on the 128 stream a few minutes ago, but it's straightened up again now.
	10:44am bobdoesthings: who wrote "Lover Please" originally?
	10:44am Cecile: I understand why people love them. I tried to love them, but failed.
	10:45am Joe McG: @bob: Billy Swan
	10:45am bobdoesthings: @joe - yup just googled it.. en.wikipedia.org...
	10:45am conkrete_dawg: @dc pat: i'm with you. and the stream is really fooked up today
	10:46am d¢ pät: However I adore Mr. Berry.
	10:47am Joe McG: I love the way this record sounds on 45, the echo is so ridiculous.
	10:51am Cecile: this is a great ballad
	10:53am joe: 'ello folks Joe hitting a sweet spot today. Show is sounding great.
	10:53am common: das boot! i always crack up when i hear that title cuz i work in a sex toy/porn warehouse and my favorite xxx title is das butt. hee!
	10:53am Cecile: ken voice KLAUS dol-DINGER!
	10:53am Joe McG: @common: That's too beautiful.
	10:55am common: @joe: it really is. still laughing.
	10:56am Cecile: Rose Royce!
	10:57am Joe McG: @joe: Thanks, joe! I like hitting sweet spots. This current song is the craziest rock/soul/prog hybrid I've heard in some time!
	10:57am Cecile: you should listen to the second side of the first Zapp album - they try everything, even country
	10:58am adrian in mpls: @common - hahaha - there's also a simpson's joke involving das butt in an early episode
	10:58am Joe McG: @Cecile: I have that one, must relisten!
	10:59am Cecile: it's not as successful as side 1, but there's interesting things on there.
	11:00am Marcel M: @Adrian: I remember that!
	11:01am thedunkel: Hello! Wendy!
	11:02am Greg from Bloomfield: Apparently Lee Hazlewood has never been to Penn Station.
	11:03am Joe McG: @Greg: Or the Port Authority!
	11:03am adrian in mpls: @Marcel - (as I channel Amanda Nazario) - yeah, it's that episode when the new neighbor moves in and Bart get's a crush on the daughter. but she instead starts going out with jimbo.
	11:04am Marcel M: @Adrian: Ahhhh yes! All coming back to me now!
	11:04am Cecile: and she orders Afghan food in Afghan.
	11:06am northguineahills: ..From a restaurant called "Two Guys from Kabul".
	11:06am Marcel M: I love that Two Guys from Kabul scene where they are arguing right before they call haha.
	11:07am Mike East: my boss just told me he's buying Indian for lunch tomorrow...by which he means ordering from the Afghan place.
	11:07am northguineahills: yeah, that's classic, Marcel.
	11:08am Andrew Waterloo: one of those classic Simpsons jokes.
	11:08am northguineahills: There's an Afgani place near your studio, Mike? the only one I can think of is the one on St Marks.
	11:08am Greg from Bloomfield: vimeo.com...
	11:08am Kurt Gottschalk: i don't hate squeeze!
	11:08am KP: Jeez, who hates Squeeze? Is Easter Bunny also on that list?
	11:09am Guido from Cologne: Doldinger's biggest hit ever: www.youtube.com...
	11:09am d¢ pät: I'm afraid I started that...sorry, but it's true.
	11:10am d¢ pät: ...actually yes, hate Easter too. GAWD even when I was a kid Easter gave me the creeps..
	11:10am KP: i saw them with the bass player who was airbrushed off first album. The bass player should never do somersaults on stage, believe me.
	11:10am adrian in mpls: @Greg - thanks for sharing that--so hilarious!
	11:11am coelacanth: olá Joe McG and Joe Peeps.
	11:11am Mike East: @ngh - Afghan Kebab House #1 - 764 9th ave btwn 51&52
	11:12am d¢ pät: ..something about celebrating a guy getting nailed to a cross by eating chocolate bunnies and hard boiled eggs? Who thinks this crap up?
	11:14am Stevel: Reading is for chumps.
	11:14am Brendan: Kasey Kasem's fun facts 'Das Boot' was the German version of the French masterpiece, 'Le Shoe' Squeezes single 'I've Returned' was the follow up to the seminal work, 'I'll Be Back'
	11:15am Greg from Bloomfield: I always loved Easter, but that's cuz my Ukranian grandmother would make a giant breakfast of babka, kielbasa, ham, handmade pierogi, kapusta and cucumber salad. Not even Thanksgiving can mess with that spread.
	11:15am Brendan: Hi Joe
	11:16am Marcel M: Off to work bye all! See you in 3 weeks Surface Noise! I'm off to a faraway land this weekend...
	11:17am d¢ pät: Thanksgiving, now we're talking!
	11:17am Joe McG: Hey, Brendan! @Marcel: Have a GREAT time, wherever you be off to.
	11:17am Marcel M: Coitus Interruptus
	11:18am Marcel M: Thanks Joe!
	11:18am Marcel M: I def can't leave during this song though... woah
	11:18am coelacanth: KP that's the "uk squeeze" album?-(with the hulkie guy on the front)..i'll look at that again (after >30 years!) I usually notice things like that;but maybe mine was an import(?) ...Why'd they delete him?
	11:21am Brendan: This is good music to brood , scheme or otherwise formulate a plan to.
	11:24am Andrew Waterloo: I'm sure that music could prevent your bread from rising too much
	11:25am joe: Right now this fighting with the soothing sounds of The Boys of Summer leaking over wall from my neighbors cube
	11:27am Andrew Waterloo: The guy next to me has those Bose noise cancelling headphones on. I could probably play gong with a jackhammer and get away with it.
	11:28am DeemerDave: Isn't that Neil Young's Ohio in "Meat"
	11:28am Brendan: Yeah that or salt. I forgot to use salt in making a bread recipe recently. It rose and rose. Think viagra commercial. If after 4 hrs ...
	11:28am d¢ pät: The music in this sounds a bit like Ohio
	11:28am d¢ pät: jinx
	11:29am d¢ pät: dang. I gotta make some bread. I was doing it every week there for a while. always drops off in the summer.
	11:33am Brendan: Just rewatched sea of love last night ... Al Nailed it
	11:35am Joe McG: @Brendan: Has Al ever done "Lear"?
	11:35am Scott Williams: Hi Joe! OK dammit, I still like this one Academy in Peril song. Thanks for reminding me!
	11:37am Joe McG: @SW: I like this one and "The Philosopher." A couple of others are OK, but mostly "eh"!
	11:39am Cecile: I get Academy mixed up with Church of Anthrax. The latter which I really like
	11:39am Guido from Cologne: Must go! In order to quote ABBA: Thank you for the music Joe! CU!
	11:39am Carmichael: Hey Joe and fellow Noisers. I get the last 20 minutes, looks like.
	11:39am Brendan: Hi Joe, it was in the works. Dont know.He did Merchant though..
	11:40am Joe McG: You bet, Guido! Faretheewell, good sire! Welcome in his stead, good Carm.
	11:40am Scott Williams: @Cecile, Church of Anthrax is killer-diller top to bottom.
	11:41am Brendan: Pass the mutton
	11:43am northguineahills: what Scott said...
	11:46am Cecile: You know it, Scott. That last piece, I kept expecting Boston's Long Time to start at any moment...

	11:54am DCE: very nice
	11:55am Cecile: singing? Who got Cocteau Twins in my Savage Repblic?
	11:55am DCE: haha
	11:56am northguineahills: Ha, Cecile!
	11:56am Joe McG: @Cecile: It's Stella Papandreopoulou. And I should get extra points for typing that.
	11:56am Cecile: WHERE IS THE BELLOWING DUDE?

	9:03am Sem Chumbo: Donovan lives, sort of. Hiya, Joe!
	9:03am bobdoesthings: good morning joe! wow great start
	9:03am DCE: those puppets are so musically intolerant.
	9:05am SeanG: like very groovy, baby
	👻 9:05am 12539: @DCE - it just took them a few spins of the dial to find Joe's show.
	9:06am P-90: Nope nope nope nope
	👻 9:06am 12539: You'd think they'd have less trouble finding the station after all these years!
	👻 9:07am doctorjazz: Nice start, feeling groovy...
	9:08am Marcel M: Morning all morning Joe! Was nice to see you Sunday.
	9:09am Guido from Cologne: Good Morning Joe!
	9:09am Marcel M: Keep the spoon theme alive
	👻 9:13am doctorjazz: Got the easy listening juices flowin'
	9:13am common: i can see the red shag carpeting in my childhood home.
	9:13am Joe McG: Hey, everybody! As part of the Establishment, I can testify that some of the kids' music is actually really groovy.
	👻 9:13am doctorjazz: Got the easy listening juices flowin'
	9:13am fleep: Switched on greetings, Joe.
	9:14am Wendy del Formaggio: Good morning, Joe! Nice choice. I love the "Switched On Bacharach". I love regular Burt Bacharach, too.
	9:15am Laura L: @common--and avocado colored kitchen appliances... and orange Formica...
	9:15am common: @laura: absolutely!
	9:18am Marcel M: Wow what a funny song to make all smooth!
	9:18am d¢ pät: JoeMCG! Wendy! Others!
	9:19am Wendy del Formaggio: DC Pat!!! Big smooches to you from rainy VT!
	9:19am Laura L: And just smell those mountain-grown coffee crystals while you stir your instant coffee...
	👻 9:19am Brian in UK: Is this the way to San Jose?
	9:19am Dominick: A total gas, man!
	9:20am Guido from Cologne: Just as it is a bunch of 60ies Easy listening it's quite notable how mid-range-heavy those old strereo-mixes were. Should I say mixes? maybe "mastering" would be the right term to put.
	👻 9:21am Brian in UK: Talking of mastering, is there a better name than Bob Clearmountain?
	9:21am common: @ laura: hee. and, "hey mom, i'm gonna go outside and blow up some stuff with my m-80s." "that's fine, dear. be careful." i miss the 70s.
	9:22am Sem Chumbo: I understand Keith moonlighted as guest guitarist on this.
	9:22am Wendy del Formaggio: This song is a very unsettling experience.
	👻 9:22am Brian in UK: @Sem he tried but failed the audition.
	9:22am DCE: cool version
	9:23am Sem Chumbo: Living Dead Guitars, more like.
	9:25am DCE: Floyd Cramer playing the Monkees...what a concept!
	9:25am Laura L: @common--me too--though I don't miss the pantsuits we girls were finally permitted to wear at school instead of dresses in 1970. They looked like pajamas!
	9:25am DCE: this is cheering me up, outta the funk I'm in
	👻 9:25am Brian in UK: Is there an Archies tribute band?
	9:26am adrian in mpls: Wow, what a song to drop in to! Good morning everyone!
	9:26am northguineahills: I have that Switched on Bacharach. I suppose Living Guitars is an offshoot of Living Strings.
	👻 9:26am doctorjazz: I'm in love...
	👻 9:27am Webhamster Henry: This set is reminding me of when I used to tune in and hear Muzakky arrangements like these and think "Oh Irwin is doing something ironic" .. and then discover that I was listening to WPAT.
	9:27am Sem Chumbo: Hand clapping cannot save this,maybe more cowbell.
	9:27am common: @laura: I remember those! hee hee!
	9:28am Parq: Apparently, Spazz's mascot Bingo is programming this set.
	9:28am thedunkel: Great set this am - thanks joe!
	9:28am Guido from Cologne: country ABBA !
	👻 9:28am Brian in UK: Wot no K-Tel?
	9:29am Sem Chumbo: Hawaii 5-0 theme, by the Hee Haw house band up next.
	9:29am mike east: Is this the original? I only know the dahlmans version via Michael Shelley
	9:29am J-Mar: OMG, I used to have this Nashville Train record. I have no idea why I got rid of it -- sounds awesome. if I recall, the band was actually Swedish too.
	9:29am Wendy del Formaggio: Hello thedunkel! :-)
	9:30am northguineahills: @common: Me and my friends were still going out in the woods and kablooming things in the late 80s-early 90s. Then HS happened and music and girls took over my attention.
	9:31am GeesyCreesy: It ain't easy being cheesy, Joe
	9:32am Marcel M: I'd say comparing the music to camembert would be a compliment. Its not SO stinky and is nice and creamy.
	9:32am Dominick: Welcome cheeses, I want to eat you all!
	9:33am bobdoesthings: oh man the stream has been soooo spotty lately, even the slower 128 stream. anyone else?
	9:34am DCE: yep, bobdoesthings
	9:34am Marcel M: I've told you already but yes Bob its been killing me. Just cut out a few times right as you said it.
	👻 9:35am doctorjazz: Had trouble with the archive stream, live stream been behaving OK so far for me.
	9:35am common: same here, bob.
	9:36am mike east: I had trouble with flash yesterday bobdoesthings. Assumed it was spotty internet
	9:36am OTB: The pop-up player's been freaking out a LOT lately.
	👻 9:37am Brian in UK: Has a lovely Reblochon the other day, so good needed a spoon to eat it.
	9:38am Marcel M: I thought Donovan was DYLAN for the establishment?
	9:39am bobdoesthings: yeah, bummer. It's the worst when my FM signal gets spotty and I switch to the iPhone app and then that shits out.. Then I gotta plug in the laptop and run the slow stream
	9:40am Joe McG: @Marcel: Great to see you on Sunday, too! Hope you enjoyed the concert!
	9:42am mike east: This David kilgour is killer
	9:42am Greg from Bloomfield: Morning Joe & everybody! I notice the Kilgours are getting a lot of play this week...
	9:42am Marcel M: @Joe: I enjoyed it indeed! Was nice to see the new space. I also actually hung out in JC that day because my friend lives there. And what did we do? We went to the Newport Mall because my wife has never been to a mall. We lasted about ten minutes and then fled the scene.
	9:44am bobdoesthings: @marcel - hahaha that's funny imaging you and her going to a mall.. haha what was she expecting?! or did she just want to see it?
	9:45am d¢ pät: "never been to a mall" wow. I guess I haven't been to one in 15 years, thanks to the internets..
	9:46am Cecile: Marcel M. the estabilishment didn't get either of them unless someone was covering.
	9:47am Marcel M: @BOB: Malls hit Europe in a big(er) way around when she left and most people still don't really go to them. Its part of that American suburban sprawl imagery so she wanted to check it out. She expected it to be bad but we all had this image that it would be kinda fun. It just wasn't the same without the deeper Jersey experience of getting stuck in traffic on Route 4 and then experiencing the wonders of a massive mall parking garage hehe.
	9:47am Cecile: I go to them for the movies, and also the Women's Talbots - normal looking clothes in insane colors.
	9:48am Cecile: Marcel, you maybe need baby steps. A shopping center, perhaps. Or a strip mall.
	9:48am Marcel M: @Cecile: Just poking a little fun at ol' Donovan Dylan style a la Don't Look Back
	9:49am Marcel M: Oh don't get me wrong I'VE had many a mall experience. Its the Spanish wife who had not. Bob and I know a thing or two about Garden State Plaza let me tell you....
	9:50am bobdoesthings: ughhh yup
	9:50am Cecile: ah, got it. Also, a mall that is indeed kinda fun is Water Tower Place in Chicgao. everything is transparent - the floors outside of stores, the elevator. I say kinda because while I was admiring the architecture, I also have a ridiculous fear of heights.
	9:50am Cecile: I have a question - is it true that most of the best food in Jersey is at strip malls?
	9:50am mike east: I'm a willowbrook guy myself. I get way too lost at garden state
	9:51am bobdoesthings: @cecile - WHAT?! no! it's all chain garbage
	9:51am mike east: Also I take the bus from there sometimes
	9:51am Marcel M: @Mike: It has expanded greatly over the years. The movie theatre is actually pretty nice there.
	9:52am Marcel M: Well to be fair, in North Jersey, strip malls are so plenteous that there does happen to be good places in them. I mean think about it Bob most all Pizza places are in strip malls.
	9:52am Cecile: well, there's prolly some chain garbage, but it looks cool. Like cubic zirconium in a hand carved setting.
	9:53am Marcel M: Its like that in LA too... with cool clubs and bars. Someone is like, "Lets go to this great place!" and you pull into a strip mall like whaaaat? And yeah, it is actually a cool place.
	9:53am Marcel M: Inside that is.
	9:54am Cecile: yeah, there are some kickass places in strip malls here - two of my favorite Chinese restaurants.
	9:54am bobdoesthings: OHHHH "STRIP" malls.. that's just a bunch of stores next to each other.. I read it wrong. I thought you meant Mall food court food.. yuk . Yeah some of the best pizza and bagel places and local spots are wedged inbetween a bunch of stores..
	9:54am mike east: @cecile: it's true that most pizzerias tend to be in strip malls out here
	9:54am Cecile: oh, yeah, bob, you were talking about pizza.
	9:55am Cecile: no mall food generally sucks unless you are craving carbs.
	9:55am Marcel M: Growing up in NJ I also thought that Highways were littered with stores and restaurants everywhere else in the country. I would drive out to 17 from the city with friends from elsewhere and they would always be amazed by the strip mall paradise along the way...
	9:55am mike east: Also Long Island is one long strip mall
	9:55am Andrew Waterloo: Strip malls and plazas are the place to find anything sushi related.
	9:56am KP: Sky Green Leopards sound impressive
	9:57am Andrew Waterloo: The mall food court is the place where you have buy a hot dog to experience flavor.
	9:57am Cecile: Yeah. pretty much, Andrew.
	9:58am Marcel M: Your out in LA Cecile? I visited a few years ago. I don't think I could live there, but I think I could die there.
	9:59am Marcel M: you're**
	9:59am Cecile: Oh, no - I live in Minneapolis. We invented the indoor mall here. now I want a damn hot dog.
	9:59am mike east: I got food poisoning at a mall food court when I worked at borders.
	10:00am mike east: It's now a ghost mall
	10:00am Cecile: I worked at a mall hot dog stand. I am totally not surprised.
	10:00am Marcel M: @Cecile: Ah I see. I went to Hawaii once, they have indoor Malls that are also somehow outside.... very interesting indeed.
	10:00am Cecile: yay! new Savage Republic?!?!?
	10:01am Cecile: now I hear all the good plate lunch and casual restaurants are there, if Food Network is to be believed.
	10:01am Cecile: in the strip malls of Hawaii I mean
	10:03am Marcel M: Yes I believe that is true Cecile. I went to one that was great. For plate lunch that is.
	10:04am Marcel M: But the big "indoor" malls have no ceiling. So they are basically outside, since the weather is so nice.
	10:04am Marcel M: What a nice conversation on malls we are having! :-)
	10:08am adrian in mpls: I do have to say there have been a couple of times folks have visited me and wanted to see the mall of america -- and they seem very disappointed that it's just A REALLY BIG MALL. Not some transcendent commondity experience, or even a Vegas-style refracted spectacular-consumptive wonderland.
	10:10am KP: Like every one of these mostly instrumental bands that have been coming our way lately.
	10:10am Cecile: adrian, same here.
	10:10am common: i was there once, adrian. it was so cold, but i stood outside and waited for my friends.
	10:10am Cecile: KP - they are the grandaddies. Practically invented the sound.
	10:11am Marcel M: Yes although on a smaller scale, that was definitely the experience this past weekend.
	10:11am Cecile: Savage Republic, I mean.
	10:11am Andrew Waterloo: Are you saying the Mall of America doesn't have any submarines?
	10:11am Michele: HI Joe! Love the last couple songs in this set!
	10:11am KP: Really? Cool. it's driving music.
	10:11am HarktheUmpire: Did someone find some lost Sonic Youth tapes?
	10:12am Marcel M: Hi Michele!
	10:12am Cecile: NO SUBMARINES. NO GIANT ICE RINK. It is disappointing.
	10:12am Michele: Hi Marcel! Great show on Sunday right?!
	10:13am Joe McG: Hey, Michele! Great to see you at the concert the other night!
	10:13am d¢ pät: too bad that whenever some one detunes there guit, it sounds like SY.
	10:13am Marcel M: Yep I really enjoyed it!
	10:13am adrian in mpls: Michele - just have to say, the Shut Up Weirdo archives have been keeping me from losing my mind lately - so thanks!
	10:15am Andrew Waterloo: There is a classic Rick Mercer joke about the West Edmonton Mall having more submarines than the Canadian Navy.
	10:15am northguineahills: @dc pat: 9 times out of ten, it does.
	10:16am Cecile: Before i got to know them, I always thought SY sounded like gamelan
	10:16am Marcel M: My friends and I were actually just last night complaining about how Sonic Youth has usurped so many things. Not their fault or a legit complaint against them, but since they are pretty mainstream, a lot of their sounds are attributed to being quite unique to them, when in face, wise WFMU listeners like us, know they are not.
	10:17am Claw!: Hello, Joe! Good morning everyone!
	👻 10:17am Ken From Hyde Park: Come to www.deadmalls.com and shop around.
	10:17am Michele: @ adrian in mpls WOW! Thank you, so nice to hear that!!!
	10:18am Marcel M: Woah... the dead malls remembers the world trade center thing right at the top of the site is pretty off putting..
	10:20am Cecile: SY were just a bit past early adopters. They seemed to be good popularizers. If you look at Thurston interviews (as he was the trendiest of them), they broke Phillip K Dick to a lot hipsters in '87, free jazz in the early 90s, etc.
	10:21am Cecile: this was an excellent record that should have gotten more attention, and not just because Katie was in the band. :D
	10:22am adrian in mpls: always really liked this version of this song
	10:25am d¢ pät: You said it Cecile--seems like everybody was reading Phillip K Dick back then (except me). But there was no one else like them then.
	10:26am Yvonne Szymczak: I like the Les Baxter/Will Holt version, didn't know this one existed! Thank you for the music.
	10:27am Marcel M: The way they fused their noisy and experimental sound with pop surely was unique.
	10:27am Michele: I love this song
	10:27am Joe McG: @Yvonne: That is the first famous one, I think, although Nina Simone is THE most famous.
	10:28am DCE: only the crunchiest of guitars will do
	10:28am KP: Is this a bonus track on Super Hits? How did i miss it?
	10:29am Joe McG: @KP: No, it's on the new Vol. 2! Shelley outdoes himself on this one.
	👻 10:30am 12539: For a moment I was scared you were going to talk over this.
	10:30am Dr. Goot: Sweet Harrison cover!
	10:30am bobdoesthings: I've been sharing this with everyone.. I just can't help it - Billy Corgan with kitties -- 33.media.tumblr.com...
	10:31am DCE: I was just reading yesterday about how Harrison had to pay $646k (back in the early 70s) because "My Sweet Lord" was a blatant (subconscious) rip of "He's So Fine"
	10:31am Cecile: Marvel, being a fan of them was fun in that you could track and follow their interests and obsesssions.
	10:32am Marcel M: @Cecile: True. I'm not trying to diss them. I have all their albums for gods sake...
	10:32am KP: a collection from a certain someone else was a hit at recent gathering of which i had some interest.
	10:32am d¢ pät: wow, never knew how much dough he had to cough up for that.
	10:33am Cecile: DCE, yup! I learned about the band Crime through them. Me either, Marcel. I have nearly all their records as well.
	10:34am probablyjohn: it is like "KILG-hour", but it's hard to make that sound more correct than "kill-gore" unless you feign an accent.
	10:35am Greg from Bloomfield: I always said "Kil-gore", but Sir Richard said "Kil-gower" when he introduced Hamish, so I'm switching.
	10:37am Joe McG: Thanks for the pronunciation help, fellas! I should have tried it with a kiwi accent.
	10:37am Cecile: Just say it with your teeth clenched. Or clinched.
	10:37am Lewis: Any one else have trouble with the stream?
	10:38am KP: in other words, It's a Sunshine Day was well received.
	10:38am Robert: Lewis, I don't know whether Mr. McGasko is intentionally doing a mix, or that's "trouble with the stream".
	10:39am Cecile: Lewis, I am.
	10:39am Joe McG: @KP: Good to hear! @Robert: Nope, no mixing going on here!
	10:39am d¢ pät: I thought I heard a couple of skips but thought those were the 45s
	10:40am Lewis: Cecile - maybe it is a twin cities thing?...
	10:40am Robert: Oh, then it's trouble with the stream. But I like the effect!
	10:40am Cecile: Could be Lewis!
	10:40am probablyjohn: stream 0 and 3 are both fine in these twin cities
	10:41am DJ MoneyBag$: Mix Master McG is within the house
	10:41am Robert: In the reminiscence by Steve Post (scan missing a few pp. linked from Blast of Hot Air), he writes of being pleased at the mix he was hearing from a certain station as he was driving, only to realize it'd been 2 stations alternating.

	10:57am Cecile: you should listen to the second side of the first Zapp album - they try everything, even country
	10:58am adrian in mpls: @common - hahaha - there's also a simpson's joke involving das butt in an early episode

	11:04am Marcel M: @Adrian: Ahhhh yes! All coming back to me now!
	11:04am Cecile: and she orders Afghan food in Afghan.

	11:07am Mike East: my boss just told me he's buying Indian for lunch tomorrow...by which he means ordering from the Afghan place.
	11:07am northguineahills: yeah, that's classic, Marcel.

	11:09am d¢ pät: I'm afraid I started that...sorry, but it's true.
	11:10am d¢ pät: ...actually yes, hate Easter too. GAWD even when I was a kid Easter gave me the creeps..
	11:10am KP: i saw them with the bass player who was airbrushed off first album. The bass player should never do somersaults on stage, believe me.

	11:14am Stevel: Reading is for chumps.
	11:14am Brendan: Kasey Kasem's fun facts 'Das Boot' was the German version of the French masterpiece, 'Le Shoe' Squeezes single 'I've Returned' was the follow up to the seminal work, 'I'll Be Back'
	11:15am Greg from Bloomfield: I always loved Easter, but that's cuz my Ukranian grandmother would make a giant breakfast of babka, kielbasa, ham, handmade pierogi, kapusta and cucumber salad. Not even Thanksgiving can mess with that spread.

	11:21am Brendan: This is good music to brood , scheme or otherwise formulate a plan to.
	11:24am Andrew Waterloo: I'm sure that music could prevent your bread from rising too much
	11:25am joe: Right now this fighting with the soothing sounds of The Boys of Summer leaking over wall from my neighbors cube
	11:27am Andrew Waterloo: The guy next to me has those Bose noise cancelling headphones on. I could probably play gong with a jackhammer and get away with it.
	11:28am DeemerDave: Isn't that Neil Young's Ohio in "Meat"
	11:28am Brendan: Yeah that or salt. I forgot to use salt in making a bread recipe recently. It rose and rose. Think viagra commercial. If after 4 hrs ...
	11:28am d¢ pät: The music in this sounds a bit like Ohio
	11:28am d¢ pät: jinx

	11:43am northguineahills: what Scott said...
	11:46am Cecile: You know it, Scott. That last piece, I kept expecting Boston's Long Time to start at any moment...
