	9:16am adrian in mpls: Morning Joe! Morning everyone!
	👻 9:18am Brian in UK: Joe, it is the recovery time nowadays that counts.
	9:18am SeanG: I like it
	9:18am Claw!: Ptrerodactyls, eh? Them's be some rockin dinos... ...almost as rockin as Denver the Last Dinosaur.
	9:22am Brendan: Brak! Brak! (My best Pterodactyl call). Good morning Joe and kids
	9:25am Andrew Waterloo: Dinosaur Train inspired a very loud and shrill Pterodon call from my daughter.
	9:25am OTB: Morning, Joe and fellow listeners! Making my morning with the instrumental versions of Stones tunes....
	9:26am V Priceless: to paraphrase Steven Wright: "I can't believe the Stones are still going...it's amazing...Fred and Barney..."
	9:26am Michele: Good morning!
	9:27am Marcel M: Morning Michele!
	9:28am sphere: morning all
	9:30am Joe McG: Hi, Michele!
	9:31am KP: Great version of an lovely almost lost song.
	9:32am sphere: Totally agree,
	9:32am redkayak: Methinks this is my "song of the week"
	👻 9:33am Brian in UK: Joe, STEP AWAY FROM THE SATISFACTION.
	9:34am Claw!: Glasses = clear, cylindrical drinking vessels
	9:35am DCE: this is going somewhere, right? :)
	9:36am Brendan: I just got back from Trader Joe's Natural Mountain. What a place.
	9:36am Claw!: Maybe your sweater was thirsty.
	9:38am adam: Brendan, whats the Natural mtn?
	9:41am Marcel M: WOAH! This is poppin'!
	9:42am Claw!: Handsome! Dreamy! Nice!
	9:42am blee: Good morning Joe and fellow listeners. Bombay Disco Two, Bottoms Up!
	9:45am bobdoesthings: good morning
	9:47am Roberto: I wonder if my bassoonist friend is familiar with this tune. There probably aren't many bassoon-related disco songs.
	9:48am the Canterbury wood-elf: You found the bassoon disco record!! Nice one, Joe.
	9:48am Wendy del Formaggio: Oh my gosh, what the fuck, Joe McGasko?!? Hahahaha
	👻 9:48am 12539: I can't believe you don't have this for single file!
	9:48am Joe McG: @Elf: Thanks!
	9:48am Roberto: Well, he was a bassoonist. He doesn't play anymore since the accident.
	9:49am sphere: OMG. Never in my life would I have expected a bassoon disco 12".
	9:49am Polyus: The tuba section is jealous.
	9:50am steve: oh yes
	9:50am Claw!: God bless you and your disco/funk, Joe.
	9:50am Marcel M: Anyone going to this 7SD thing tomorrow? Do you have to bring a child to get in?
	👻 9:53am Brian in UK: Anyone ever got down with a Cor Anglais?
	9:54am adam: So Brendan, Trader Joes bought a mountain?
	9:55am Sem Chumbo: Hiya, Joe McGee, and all. Sorry to have missed the Living Strings:-(
	9:57am KP: Surfin' Jack Flash now on board for weekend drive. Anything else?
	9:58am V Priceless: if I get down any further, I'll be behind myself!
	9:59am KP: The cover of that Living Guitars/Stones album is hysterical
	9:59am the Canterbury wood-elf: @Brian Seemingly so! According to the Wikipedia entry on disco "The sound is enriched with solo lines and harmony parts played by a variety of orchestral instruments, such as harp, violin, viola, cello, trumpet, saxophone, trombone, clarinet, flugelhorn, French horn, tuba, English horn..." No concrete examples, sadly!
	9:59am Greg from Bloomfield: Morning, Joe & everybody! Still a little zonked out on NyQuil, so I'm gonna be behind the beat for a bit.
	👻 10:02am Brian in UK: @C w-e no pink oboes?
	10:06am V Priceless: @ t C w-e: was wondering if you've heard new Gong record? I have not.
	10:10am pierre: Joe McGasko, birthday boy !
	10:13am Claw!: I don't really fuck with BS
	10:13am Greg from Bloomfield: Wasn't this the theme song to Dawson-era Family Feud?
	10:13am MD: Happy Belated Birthday Joe!!!
	10:14am Joe McG: Thanks, MD! :)
	10:15am thee Canterbury wood-elf: @Brian The list goes on and on, I just truncated after cor anglais. And there appears to be a whole blog dedicated to orchestral disco, but i'm not going down that rabbit hole today!
	10:16am KP: OK now loaded up Stones instrumentals for drive to go with the Grrrrr compilation somebody surprised me with. It wasnt anyone here was it?
	👻 10:16am Brian in UK: Very wise, my friend.
	10:17am common: god i need a moog.
	10:17am the Canterbury wood-elf: @VP Yes indeed, and it's a real reason for Gongfreaks to rejoice. Somehow it sounds totally 2014, but totally Gong at the same time. Really funny, poignant, thought-provoking and utterly cosmic. Definitely the best Gong LP since the Radio Gnome trilogy. Last time i checked, the whole thing was listenable on YouTube. Check it out.
	👻 10:19am Brian in UK: @the Canterbury wood-elf We went to see this the other day. It finishes next Tuesday though. www.bl.uk...
	10:21am KP: Gary Burton is one of two jazz artists I actually like and I cant think of the other.
	10:22am Trouble: good morning joe! love this groovin jam. sounds great this morning.
	10:22am adrian in mpls: this Burton track is groovy! digging it
	10:22am V Priceless: wow, cool! thanx, w-e! @ common: I have a Moog Rogue - bought new back in the day for $100 - I think you can score a used one these days for a couple hundred. Worth every penny!
	10:23am Joe McG: Hey, Trouble! How lovely to see you! :)
	10:23am βrian: I've fallen in, ears first, and I can't get up!
	10:24am jlowe: Trouble & Joe...my faves! I agree with Trouble Joe...Great grooves!
	10:24am DCE: who is the guitarist playing with Burton?
	10:25am Trouble: doing some hat knitting today Joe! give me some color likes and dislikes...
	10:25am Joe McG: @DCE: Sam Brown.
	10:25am the Canterbury wood-elf: @BrianUK Thanks for the info - won't be able to make it up to London by then tho'. Where in UK are you?
	10:25am βrian: The color would depend on the hen.
	10:27am DCE: thanks Joe...I'm vaguely familiar with him but I'll try to get moreso
	10:28am Joe McG: @Trouble: Ooh! I like blue, green, black, grey.
	10:28am the Canterbury wood-elf: Was this some kind of collaboration between The Electric Prunes and The Peanut Butter Conspiracy?
	10:28am Cecile: Kashmere! Love those guys.
	10:29am highlowe: The woodpecker @ my feeder says "STOP DANCING AND FEED ME!"...gorgeous set today Joe! ahhh great hat colors, wise man to reply to an eager knitter!
	10:30am Joe McG: @elf: I wish!
	10:30am Joe McG: Thanks, highlowe, needed to get movin' here in the studio!
	10:32am Trouble: super, Joe you will have a new hat next week.
	10:33am Cecile: Simpsons voice Joe McGasko has a new hat!
	10:33am Claw!: Oh, this version is so good! This whole record is awesome.
	10:33am Sem Chumbo: The neighbourhood, for the most part, is enjoying this over Altec Voice of the Theatre speakers, set at a modest 8:-D
	10:33am common: vp: that's great! i'm gonna look around.
	10:33am sphere: yum, that version of the Sly Stone tune was good.
	10:34am Cecile: get yourself familiar with them immediately.
	10:34am sphere: this was a good day to telework.
	10:34am Cecile: they even have great originals, written by their awesome band director.
	10:37am OTB: Uh-oh!
	10:37am Joe McG: Woo-hoo! Thanks, Trouble, you're the greatest!!
	10:37am Cheri Pi: Hellll yessssssssssss!
	10:37am adrian in mpls: YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS DROP THAT BOMB!!!
	10:37am blee: The GAP Band! Yeahhhhuhhhh!
	10:37am Claw!: FUCK YEAH, GAP BAND!
	10:38am common: ditto
	10:39am Sem Chumbo: Ka-BOOM!
	10:39am Cecile: YEAH
	10:40am Claw!: Yo Cheri! Yo Cecile! Droppin bombs, Sonnnn!
	10:40am Cecile: I love Burn Rubber. Charlie goes out for a strawberry pop, and she burned rubber on he, Charlieeeee.
	10:40am Cecile: Claw!
	10:41am Cecile: hahahahhaha, "We just heard Good Vibrations yesterday"
	10:41am Greg from Bloomfield: PLAY THE BOMB SONG AGAIN
	10:42am Claw!: I agree with Greg! MOAR BOMB, PLZ! KTHXBAI
	10:42am Joe McG: @Greg: Ha ha! I played the 12" version a couple of years ago. That one LASTS!
	10:43am Cecile: yeah, that 12" is awesome. I danced drunklenly often to that.
	10:45am Claw!: If dancing to the Gap Band is wrong, I don't wanna be right.
	10:46am sphere: Go Delta Five!
	10:48am KP: Yay, my thing arrived. I am free to move about.
	10:49am quinn: Hey, I have one of these
	10:49am Joe McG: @quinn: :)
	10:51am DCE: all trucker country gets a clicky
	10:53am bobdoesthings: untill it all gets automated and the entire transportation industry is out of work..
	10:53am the Canterbury wood-elf: Wow, that was one helluva soliloquy! Somehow songs about driving trucks (lorries, that is) around Britain just wouldn't cut it. There's only one I know about, by Fotheringay, and it's truly awful.
	10:54am blee: Big American Trucking - Now Hiring
	10:55am βrian: Truckers drive like crazed demons in these parts. I try to keep my distance.
	10:55am Cecile: I'm not real excited about truckers now. They are wrecking the streets in our neighborhoods taking shortcuts they are not supposed to. And wrecking our bridges by playing fast and loose with the clearance.
	10:55am Cecile: Well, those truckers. Not all truckers.
	10:56am Cecile: this is a Duane Train fave. I love this song.
	10:56am Claw!: #notalltruckers
	10:56am Joe McG: @elf: What's the Fotheringay song about truck drivers? Remind me!
	10:56am nickybones: ha! beat me to it @claw!
	👻 10:57am tadpoles: Sounds like Sparks!
	10:57am steve: i expect everyone else is singing along with the chorus of this song at their desk
	10:57am Cecile: ha, claw!
	10:58am frenchee: Hi Joe! that was some mothertrucker song! I like this Main Ingredient meandersoul song too. I am singing along to THAT one.
	10:58am Cecile: oy, neil.
	10:58am Claw!: ;) Ha! I'm surprised someone else didn't type it first, nickybones! Ya snooze, ya lose.
	10:58am the Canterbury wood-elf: @JMcG It's called "Knights of the Road", on the second (unfinished, but then finished recently) Fotheringay LP. The Sandy Denny stuff on that album is typically sublime, but her husband Trevor's songs are weak faux-country. BTW: What was that Zappa song about a trucker "bustin' his ass to drive a load of string beans to Utah"? Not really into FZ but that might be my favourite American trucker song.
	10:59am Piker!: This set is making my day. Thank you!!!
	10:59am tikk: I like that Donnelson hedges his romanticism with a dose of realism, by conceding that his driver has "a lot more goin' for him than most truck drivin' songs have ever given him credit for."
	10:59am nickybones: Nothin' slower than me before noon. Nice work!
	11:01am Claw!: Weird Al's "Truck Drivin' Song" is easily the best truckin' song. www.youtube.com...
	11:03am Cecile: Is We Are The Road Crew a trucking song?
	11:04am Cecile: yes, a lot of people do. oh, neil. I wish I could even find pleasure in disliking your music. But no.
	👻 11:05am Brian in UK: @the Canterbury wood-elf I abide in Watford.
	11:05am Cecile: the latter.
	11:06am Claw!: @cecile - Hmm... I would say "no." It's more one of those "on the road touring again" songs. BUT - I wouldn't be surprised if truckers adopted it!
	11:06am Cecile: oh! Eastbound and Down is the best truckin' song.
	11:07am jt: Trucker's deliver goods. D.J.'s deliver moods.
	11:09am Claw!: Now that there's a truckin' song! :) I'm just partial to the Weird, seeing as how he's my spirit husband and all. But Al's song really is just SO spot-on and hilarious.
	11:10am Cecile: I have to hear that - I haven't kept up with Al the way I used to.
	11:11am Cecile: In my head, the roadies from We Are the Road Crew are always beating up the roadies from the Load Out. hahahahha
	11:11am Claw!: Dude, I linked it! Go listen to it. Seriously. You will laugh whilst tappin yer toes. :)
	11:11am Claw!: hahaha... ROADIE FIGHT!
	11:12am V Priceless: Isn't 'Detroit Rock City' by Kiss a trucker song? ; )
	11:12am Cecile: it could be.
	11:13am Claw!: Whoa! New avatar!
	11:13am Cecile: actually, it's stoned kids running into a tree I think.
	11:13am Cecile: oh, dear this song is hilarious.
	11:13am Claw!: hahahahaha friggin stoners.
	11:14am Claw!: I TOLD YOU! :-D
	11:14am the Canterbury wood-elf: Didn't Neil Diamond mention getting stoned in that "Lordy" song. I quite like the image of Neil Diamond running into a tree.
	11:16am Claw!: Sorry, didn't mean to yell - I'm just real passionate about Al. I would describe myself as an evangAList. I think he is woefully underrated as an artist.
	11:16am V Priceless: @ t C w-e: yes, I heard that, and yes, the image is amusing insofar as all them rhinestones that would be flying around.
	11:18am Cecile: GO TEAM SLAV!
	11:18am Mugsy: I love this!
	11:21am V Priceless: I can't believe this is the new Fairport Convention...whoa!
	11:24am Mugsy: Go Joe McGask-Go-Go-Go
	11:24am Joe McG: There are about 35 pages of excellent Golden Fest music on the Free Music Archive. Download some today! freemusicarchive.org...
	11:26am common: have to go work like a jerk...loved the show thus far, joe! thanks!
	11:26am Cecile: Golden Festival seems to be over MLK Holiday most years. I should take a long weekend and go out there for that.
	11:27am Mugsy: WFMU is the greatest source of music in the world. The Mighty WFMU.
	11:27am steve: dam, this is some funky stuff
	11:30am Claw!: Mugsy speaks the truth.
	11:33am OTB: Brave Combo! This takes me back to my North Texas State days...
	11:34am joe: 'ello folks
	11:34am Cecile: they always show up as a polka band on the SImpsons
	11:36am Cecile: they and nrbq were favorites with OP magazine, which came out of Evergreen State University, where Matt Groening attended. Remember, help your friends when you hit it big.
	11:37am Cecile: THIS IS AMAZING - like lost Beefheart.
	11:37am OTB: I haven't kept up with the Simpsons in a looooong time....
	11:38am Cecile: the FXX marathon and frequent re-airings of the old ones has brought my love back.
	11:38am OTB: Cecile - yesh, I may have to find this one.
	11:39am the Canterbury wood-elf: @VP New Fairport?? Did I miss something?
	11:39am V Priceless: @ t C w-e: nah, apologies - just my bad joke!
	11:40am sphere: @ OTB - totally agree.
	11:41am βrian: It's fun to be tout puissant. Thanks, triple espresso!
	11:42am frenchee: Sorta reminds me of Flying Lizards, this Motor Totemist Guild. go Joe GO!
	11:42am Cecile: I haven't heard them in years. Maybe right after this record came out.
	11:43am Guido from Cologne: Star Click for The Motor Totemist Guild! hello Joe and everyone
	11:44am Joe McG: Hey, frenchee, Guido!
	11:44am dennis diken: hey Joe, digging the show! that Robert Maxwell cut sure did sound like a Raymond Scott comp. I love the 5 Keys, good one!
	11:45am Joe McG: Hey, Dennis! Thanks for stopping by!
	11:46am βrian: Sounds like lunch time!
	11:46am Mike Noble: I love it when Joe plays an unheard version of a song I thought I had heard nearly every version of.
	11:47am KP: Back! My Mac just gave up. Luckily i have this one for just such occasions. Surface Noise is v. important
	11:49am V Priceless: thanks for a fine show, Joe!
	11:49am Joe McG: Hey, Mike! Glad you're back, KP!
	11:51am sphere: hey Joe McG , i appreciate the fact that WFMU is on Apple TV/iTunes.
	👻 11:51am Brian in UK: I'm already home. Amen. Praise the McGasko.
	11:54am Joe McG: Hey, thanks for listening and commenting, everybody. I hope you all stay happy over there. Have a good week!
	11:54am KP: Me too!
	11:55am adrian in mpls: great show, Joe! wish work wasn't so bonkers right now.
	11:57am Claw!: Thanks for a killer show, Joe! Enjoy the rest of your week. :)
	11:57am βrian: GTDS "Busy Doing Nothing .." wfmu.org...
	11:58am Brendan: Thank you Joe
	👻 11:58am 12539: Thanks, Joe!

	9:15am Joe McG: Hey, everybody! Thanks for the nice post-b'day wishes. (Sorry, Ma Cheri, but last week was the big birthday shindig, such as it was.)
	9:16am adrian in mpls: Morning Joe! Morning everyone!
	👻 9:18am Brian in UK: Joe, it is the recovery time nowadays that counts.
	9:18am SeanG: I like it
	9:18am Claw!: Ptrerodactyls, eh? Them's be some rockin dinos... ...almost as rockin as Denver the Last Dinosaur.
	9:22am Brendan: Brak! Brak! (My best Pterodactyl call). Good morning Joe and kids
	9:25am Andrew Waterloo: Dinosaur Train inspired a very loud and shrill Pterodon call from my daughter.
	9:25am OTB: Morning, Joe and fellow listeners! Making my morning with the instrumental versions of Stones tunes....
	9:26am V Priceless: to paraphrase Steven Wright: "I can't believe the Stones are still going...it's amazing...Fred and Barney..."
	9:26am Michele: Good morning!
	9:27am Marcel M: Morning Michele!
	9:28am sphere: morning all
	9:30am Joe McG: Hi, Michele!
	9:31am KP: Great version of an lovely almost lost song.
	9:32am sphere: Totally agree,
	9:32am redkayak: Methinks this is my "song of the week"
	👻 9:33am Brian in UK: Joe, STEP AWAY FROM THE SATISFACTION.
	9:34am Claw!: Glasses = clear, cylindrical drinking vessels
	9:35am DCE: this is going somewhere, right? :)
	9:36am Brendan: I just got back from Trader Joe's Natural Mountain. What a place.
	9:36am Claw!: Maybe your sweater was thirsty.
	9:38am adam: Brendan, whats the Natural mtn?

	9:42am blee: Good morning Joe and fellow listeners. Bombay Disco Two, Bottoms Up!
	9:45am bobdoesthings: good morning
	9:47am Roberto: I wonder if my bassoonist friend is familiar with this tune. There probably aren't many bassoon-related disco songs.
	9:48am the Canterbury wood-elf: You found the bassoon disco record!! Nice one, Joe.
	9:48am Wendy del Formaggio: Oh my gosh, what the fuck, Joe McGasko?!? Hahahaha
	👻 9:48am 12539: I can't believe you don't have this for single file!
	9:48am Joe McG: @Elf: Thanks!
	9:48am Roberto: Well, he was a bassoonist. He doesn't play anymore since the accident.
	9:49am sphere: OMG. Never in my life would I have expected a bassoon disco 12".
	9:49am Polyus: The tuba section is jealous.
	9:50am steve: oh yes
	9:50am Claw!: God bless you and your disco/funk, Joe.
	9:50am Marcel M: Anyone going to this 7SD thing tomorrow? Do you have to bring a child to get in?
	👻 9:53am Brian in UK: Anyone ever got down with a Cor Anglais?
	9:54am adam: So Brendan, Trader Joes bought a mountain?
	9:55am Sem Chumbo: Hiya, Joe McGee, and all. Sorry to have missed the Living Strings:-(
	9:57am KP: Surfin' Jack Flash now on board for weekend drive. Anything else?
	9:58am V Priceless: if I get down any further, I'll be behind myself!
	9:59am KP: The cover of that Living Guitars/Stones album is hysterical
	9:59am the Canterbury wood-elf: @Brian Seemingly so! According to the Wikipedia entry on disco "The sound is enriched with solo lines and harmony parts played by a variety of orchestral instruments, such as harp, violin, viola, cello, trumpet, saxophone, trombone, clarinet, flugelhorn, French horn, tuba, English horn..." No concrete examples, sadly!
	9:59am Greg from Bloomfield: Morning, Joe & everybody! Still a little zonked out on NyQuil, so I'm gonna be behind the beat for a bit.
	👻 10:02am Brian in UK: @C w-e no pink oboes?
	10:06am V Priceless: @ t C w-e: was wondering if you've heard new Gong record? I have not.
	10:10am pierre: Joe McGasko, birthday boy !
	10:13am Claw!: I don't really fuck with BS
	10:13am Greg from Bloomfield: Wasn't this the theme song to Dawson-era Family Feud?
	10:13am MD: Happy Belated Birthday Joe!!!
	10:14am Joe McG: Thanks, MD! :)
	10:15am thee Canterbury wood-elf: @Brian The list goes on and on, I just truncated after cor anglais. And there appears to be a whole blog dedicated to orchestral disco, but i'm not going down that rabbit hole today!
	10:16am KP: OK now loaded up Stones instrumentals for drive to go with the Grrrrr compilation somebody surprised me with. It wasnt anyone here was it?
	👻 10:16am Brian in UK: Very wise, my friend.
	10:17am common: god i need a moog.
	10:17am the Canterbury wood-elf: @VP Yes indeed, and it's a real reason for Gongfreaks to rejoice. Somehow it sounds totally 2014, but totally Gong at the same time. Really funny, poignant, thought-provoking and utterly cosmic. Definitely the best Gong LP since the Radio Gnome trilogy. Last time i checked, the whole thing was listenable on YouTube. Check it out.
	👻 10:19am Brian in UK: @the Canterbury wood-elf We went to see this the other day. It finishes next Tuesday though. www.bl.uk...
	10:21am KP: Gary Burton is one of two jazz artists I actually like and I cant think of the other.
	10:22am Trouble: good morning joe! love this groovin jam. sounds great this morning.
	10:22am adrian in mpls: this Burton track is groovy! digging it
	10:22am V Priceless: wow, cool! thanx, w-e! @ common: I have a Moog Rogue - bought new back in the day for $100 - I think you can score a used one these days for a couple hundred. Worth every penny!
	10:23am Joe McG: Hey, Trouble! How lovely to see you! :)
	10:23am βrian: I've fallen in, ears first, and I can't get up!
	10:24am jlowe: Trouble & Joe...my faves! I agree with Trouble Joe...Great grooves!
	10:24am DCE: who is the guitarist playing with Burton?
	10:25am Trouble: doing some hat knitting today Joe! give me some color likes and dislikes...
	10:25am Joe McG: @DCE: Sam Brown.
	10:25am the Canterbury wood-elf: @BrianUK Thanks for the info - won't be able to make it up to London by then tho'. Where in UK are you?
	10:25am βrian: The color would depend on the hen.
	10:27am DCE: thanks Joe...I'm vaguely familiar with him but I'll try to get moreso
	10:28am Joe McG: @Trouble: Ooh! I like blue, green, black, grey.
	10:28am the Canterbury wood-elf: Was this some kind of collaboration between The Electric Prunes and The Peanut Butter Conspiracy?
	10:28am Cecile: Kashmere! Love those guys.
	10:29am highlowe: The woodpecker @ my feeder says "STOP DANCING AND FEED ME!"...gorgeous set today Joe! ahhh great hat colors, wise man to reply to an eager knitter!
	10:30am Joe McG: @elf: I wish!
	10:30am Joe McG: Thanks, highlowe, needed to get movin' here in the studio!
	10:32am Trouble: super, Joe you will have a new hat next week.
	10:33am Cecile: Simpsons voice Joe McGasko has a new hat!
	10:33am Claw!: Oh, this version is so good! This whole record is awesome.
	10:33am Sem Chumbo: The neighbourhood, for the most part, is enjoying this over Altec Voice of the Theatre speakers, set at a modest 8:-D
	10:33am common: vp: that's great! i'm gonna look around.
	10:33am sphere: yum, that version of the Sly Stone tune was good.
	10:34am Cecile: get yourself familiar with them immediately.
	10:34am sphere: this was a good day to telework.
	10:34am Cecile: they even have great originals, written by their awesome band director.
	10:37am OTB: Uh-oh!
	10:37am Joe McG: Woo-hoo! Thanks, Trouble, you're the greatest!!
	10:37am Cheri Pi: Hellll yessssssssssss!
	10:37am adrian in mpls: YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS DROP THAT BOMB!!!
	10:37am blee: The GAP Band! Yeahhhhuhhhh!
	10:37am Claw!: FUCK YEAH, GAP BAND!
	10:38am common: ditto
	10:39am Sem Chumbo: Ka-BOOM!
	10:39am Cecile: YEAH
	10:40am Claw!: Yo Cheri! Yo Cecile! Droppin bombs, Sonnnn!
	10:40am Cecile: I love Burn Rubber. Charlie goes out for a strawberry pop, and she burned rubber on he, Charlieeeee.
	10:40am Cecile: Claw!
	10:41am Cecile: hahahahhaha, "We just heard Good Vibrations yesterday"
	10:41am Greg from Bloomfield: PLAY THE BOMB SONG AGAIN
	10:42am Claw!: I agree with Greg! MOAR BOMB, PLZ! KTHXBAI
	10:42am Joe McG: @Greg: Ha ha! I played the 12" version a couple of years ago. That one LASTS!
	10:43am Cecile: yeah, that 12" is awesome. I danced drunklenly often to that.
	10:45am Claw!: If dancing to the Gap Band is wrong, I don't wanna be right.
	10:46am sphere: Go Delta Five!
	10:48am KP: Yay, my thing arrived. I am free to move about.
	10:49am quinn: Hey, I have one of these
	10:49am Joe McG: @quinn: :)
	10:51am DCE: all trucker country gets a clicky
	10:53am bobdoesthings: untill it all gets automated and the entire transportation industry is out of work..
	10:53am the Canterbury wood-elf: Wow, that was one helluva soliloquy! Somehow songs about driving trucks (lorries, that is) around Britain just wouldn't cut it. There's only one I know about, by Fotheringay, and it's truly awful.
	10:54am blee: Big American Trucking - Now Hiring
	10:55am βrian: Truckers drive like crazed demons in these parts. I try to keep my distance.
	10:55am Cecile: I'm not real excited about truckers now. They are wrecking the streets in our neighborhoods taking shortcuts they are not supposed to. And wrecking our bridges by playing fast and loose with the clearance.
	10:55am Cecile: Well, those truckers. Not all truckers.
	10:56am Cecile: this is a Duane Train fave. I love this song.
	10:56am Claw!: #notalltruckers
	10:56am Joe McG: @elf: What's the Fotheringay song about truck drivers? Remind me!
	10:56am nickybones: ha! beat me to it @claw!
	👻 10:57am tadpoles: Sounds like Sparks!
	10:57am steve: i expect everyone else is singing along with the chorus of this song at their desk
	10:57am Cecile: ha, claw!
	10:58am frenchee: Hi Joe! that was some mothertrucker song! I like this Main Ingredient meandersoul song too. I am singing along to THAT one.
	10:58am Cecile: oy, neil.
	10:58am Claw!: ;) Ha! I'm surprised someone else didn't type it first, nickybones! Ya snooze, ya lose.
	10:58am the Canterbury wood-elf: @JMcG It's called "Knights of the Road", on the second (unfinished, but then finished recently) Fotheringay LP. The Sandy Denny stuff on that album is typically sublime, but her husband Trevor's songs are weak faux-country. BTW: What was that Zappa song about a trucker "bustin' his ass to drive a load of string beans to Utah"? Not really into FZ but that might be my favourite American trucker song.
	10:59am Piker!: This set is making my day. Thank you!!!
	10:59am tikk: I like that Donnelson hedges his romanticism with a dose of realism, by conceding that his driver has "a lot more goin' for him than most truck drivin' songs have ever given him credit for."
	10:59am nickybones: Nothin' slower than me before noon. Nice work!
	11:01am Claw!: Weird Al's "Truck Drivin' Song" is easily the best truckin' song. www.youtube.com...
	11:03am Cecile: Is We Are The Road Crew a trucking song?
	11:04am Cecile: yes, a lot of people do. oh, neil. I wish I could even find pleasure in disliking your music. But no.
	👻 11:05am Brian in UK: @the Canterbury wood-elf I abide in Watford.
	11:05am Cecile: the latter.
	11:06am Claw!: @cecile - Hmm... I would say "no." It's more one of those "on the road touring again" songs. BUT - I wouldn't be surprised if truckers adopted it!
	11:06am Cecile: oh! Eastbound and Down is the best truckin' song.
	11:07am jt: Trucker's deliver goods. D.J.'s deliver moods.
	11:09am Claw!: Now that there's a truckin' song! :) I'm just partial to the Weird, seeing as how he's my spirit husband and all. But Al's song really is just SO spot-on and hilarious.
	11:10am Cecile: I have to hear that - I haven't kept up with Al the way I used to.
	11:11am Cecile: In my head, the roadies from We Are the Road Crew are always beating up the roadies from the Load Out. hahahahha
	11:11am Claw!: Dude, I linked it! Go listen to it. Seriously. You will laugh whilst tappin yer toes. :)
	11:11am Claw!: hahaha... ROADIE FIGHT!
	11:12am V Priceless: Isn't 'Detroit Rock City' by Kiss a trucker song? ; )
	11:12am Cecile: it could be.
	11:13am Claw!: Whoa! New avatar!
	11:13am Cecile: actually, it's stoned kids running into a tree I think.
	11:13am Cecile: oh, dear this song is hilarious.
	11:13am Claw!: hahahahaha friggin stoners.
	11:14am Claw!: I TOLD YOU! :-D
	11:14am the Canterbury wood-elf: Didn't Neil Diamond mention getting stoned in that "Lordy" song. I quite like the image of Neil Diamond running into a tree.
	11:16am Claw!: Sorry, didn't mean to yell - I'm just real passionate about Al. I would describe myself as an evangAList. I think he is woefully underrated as an artist.
	11:16am V Priceless: @ t C w-e: yes, I heard that, and yes, the image is amusing insofar as all them rhinestones that would be flying around.
	11:18am Cecile: GO TEAM SLAV!
	11:18am Mugsy: I love this!
	11:21am V Priceless: I can't believe this is the new Fairport Convention...whoa!
	11:24am Mugsy: Go Joe McGask-Go-Go-Go
	11:24am Joe McG: There are about 35 pages of excellent Golden Fest music on the Free Music Archive. Download some today! freemusicarchive.org...
	11:26am common: have to go work like a jerk...loved the show thus far, joe! thanks!
	11:26am Cecile: Golden Festival seems to be over MLK Holiday most years. I should take a long weekend and go out there for that.
	11:27am Mugsy: WFMU is the greatest source of music in the world. The Mighty WFMU.
	11:27am steve: dam, this is some funky stuff
	11:30am Claw!: Mugsy speaks the truth.
	11:33am OTB: Brave Combo! This takes me back to my North Texas State days...
	11:34am joe: 'ello folks
	11:34am Cecile: they always show up as a polka band on the SImpsons
	11:36am Cecile: they and nrbq were favorites with OP magazine, which came out of Evergreen State University, where Matt Groening attended. Remember, help your friends when you hit it big.
	11:37am Cecile: THIS IS AMAZING - like lost Beefheart.
	11:37am OTB: I haven't kept up with the Simpsons in a looooong time....
	11:38am Cecile: the FXX marathon and frequent re-airings of the old ones has brought my love back.
	11:38am OTB: Cecile - yesh, I may have to find this one.
	11:39am the Canterbury wood-elf: @VP New Fairport?? Did I miss something?
	11:39am V Priceless: @ t C w-e: nah, apologies - just my bad joke!
	11:40am sphere: @ OTB - totally agree.
	11:41am βrian: It's fun to be tout puissant. Thanks, triple espresso!
	11:42am frenchee: Sorta reminds me of Flying Lizards, this Motor Totemist Guild. go Joe GO!
	11:42am Cecile: I haven't heard them in years. Maybe right after this record came out.
	11:43am Guido from Cologne: Star Click for The Motor Totemist Guild! hello Joe and everyone
	11:44am Joe McG: Hey, frenchee, Guido!
	11:44am dennis diken: hey Joe, digging the show! that Robert Maxwell cut sure did sound like a Raymond Scott comp. I love the 5 Keys, good one!
	11:45am Joe McG: Hey, Dennis! Thanks for stopping by!
	11:46am βrian: Sounds like lunch time!
	11:46am Mike Noble: I love it when Joe plays an unheard version of a song I thought I had heard nearly every version of.
	11:47am KP: Back! My Mac just gave up. Luckily i have this one for just such occasions. Surface Noise is v. important
	11:49am V Priceless: thanks for a fine show, Joe!
	11:49am Joe McG: Hey, Mike! Glad you're back, KP!
