	9:23am JP from KC: Greetings from the heartland, Joe and fellow noisemakers!
	9:25am Brendan: Transportive
	9:38am Polyus: Hope everyone had a swell May Day. Or Beltane, if you swing that way.
	9:41am Paul D: Yay for Pylon.
	9:42am Cecile: Pylon! The great lost band of the indie underground.
	9:43am Cecile: PELL MELL I love these guys. Another lost band.
	9:43am Cecile: I know people love Jonathan Kane around here, but Pell Mell were the ones that did it for me for rock instrumentals
	9:47am Brendan: Maurice Chevalier sings McGasko
	9:49am Ĩkє: Fat White Family was freaking nutso, and I mean that in the best way. (Also, great set, Joe.)
	👻 9:50am Ken From Hyde Park: The April showers are a couple of days late this year. What kooky weather! It's drowning the May flowers.
	9:54am Marc Francis: Coffee & Joe. A perfect way to counter this cold grey rainy day.
	9:55am Brendan: Git it on yall!
	9:56am foofs: St Louis Breakdown of sane law enforcement...
	9:56am Cecile: Oliver Sain was a big talent who had a lot of influence on soul music.
	9:57am Brendan: Sounds like two basses awesome
	9:57am Cecile: www.allmusic.com...
	9:57am Joe McG: Thanks, Ike! Nice to see you at the fair!
	9:59am Marcel M: Fat Whit Family was great indeed. Chance made my day though. I have a great video of him kissing that lady in the front. Its from behind so you can't exactly see what happened but he flies up in her face haha.
	9:59am highlowe: a cupa joe and joe @Marc Francs...I agree!
	10:01am highlowe: with dancing in the kitchen to follow I suspect! Thank you @Joe McG!
	10:01am Cecile: OK, I will like Fat White Family's name better if they are 1) fat or 2) a family, or 3) none of the above in EVERY category.
	10:01am Marcel M: @Cecile: I think its 3
	10:02am Cecile: that's cool.
	10:03am Joe McG: @highlowe: Dancing in the kitchen is always a good idea!
	10:03am Cecile: Also, I would accept it if they were all three catergories.
	10:04am KP: Chance's entrance from the back of room was brilliant. Playing and James Brown shaky stepping all the way
	10:06am Marc Francis: @highlowe: The wiggling has definitely begun in my kitchen!
	10:07am highlowe: dancing kitchens unite!
	10:07am tomasz.: morning m8s. gutted I couldn't be at the rec fair, hope you all had a blast
	10:11am Joe McG: I also rode the merry go round this year, which is something I've wanted to do for years.
	10:11am Brendan: Joe doesn't fake the funk! Bringin it to the people! Mmmmph ! Ha! Get Down with your bad selves!
	10:13am Cecile: I don't know if you can do this Joe, but I'd love to hear Brick's "Ain't Gonna Hurt Nobody".
	10:14am Joe McG: @Cecile: I don't have any with me, but I'll take a look in the library.
	10:16am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe and all! I miss the Record Fair. Can we all go back and live there?
	10:17am Cecile: thank you, Joe, that's so nice of you.
	👻 10:19am doctorjazz: Bummed I missed the Record Fair, out of town (bank account escaped a hit, though).
	10:21am melinda: Morning everyone
	10:21am Joe McG: @Greg: It's like this magic city that rises up and then magically disappears in 3 days. @Cecile: Sorry! There might be some Brick in the basement library, but nothing upstairs...I should have brought my "Dusic" 45.
	10:21am franny: @doctorjazz. I head that'n.
	10:22am Roberto: Does anyone else hear a similarity between this guitar solo and "Another Brick in the Wall?"
	10:23am Cecile: LARRY LEVAN
	10:28am Cecile: I have played the Journey into Paradise comp so much.
	10:29am Cecile: that's fine, Joe, thank you for looking!
	10:30am βrian: I thought I'd never see it, but there are blues skies over the isthmus again. Joe gets partial credit for chasing off the clouds.
	10:32am MONEYBAG$: I thought you said Larry LaLonde, the guitar player from Primus. Seemed a bit outside his wheelhouse
	10:33am Brendan: Surface Noise chases clouds, blues, heartache, gout and a thousand other ills away.
	10:34am Joe McG: @Brian: How nice! @Brendan: I'm hiring you as my PR guy.
	10:35am Polyus: "I never thought this could happen to me"
	10:36am Cecile: Another reason why 1977 statistically had one of the highest rates of one-hit wonders of any year.
	10:36am Brendan: Hey 7th fl here!
	10:36am Cecile: You should play "telephone man" to make my pain complete.
	10:37am Cecile: this is great.
	10:39am Cecile: another great one.
	10:40am fleep: No. What do you mean?
	👻 10:40am doctorjazz: Love this "Do You Know What I Mean"...the original minimalist band.
	10:40am Joe McG: Ha! The bass just jumps off this single!
	10:41am MD: Ahoy-hoy All!!!
	10:41am Wild Neil: Hey Cecile!
	10:41am chris_in_space: @Joe McG the bass jumps indeed
	10:42am Cecile: hey, Neil! I know Reginald Dwight was listening to this at the time.
	10:42am MD: I lived...That 70's Show...
	10:43am highlowe: ok...smooth transition from soul to country. hat's off!
	10:44am Cecile: grrrrrrrrr. I just went to a women's leadership conference, and left feeling misogynistic. It was depressing for so many reasons. But the food was good.
	10:45am Cecile: hahahahha, that last line saved the whole song!!!
	10:45am βrian: Leadership sullies your soul. Don't let them get away with it!
	10:46am highlowe: @Cecile so true!
	10:46am Cecile: Michael Brown from the Left Banke?
	10:46am βrian: Wow, this sounds like a player piano.
	10:47am highlowe: there's a record label called Kama Sutra? : )
	10:47am Joe McG: @Cecile: The very same!
	10:47am Brendan: Nice! Very Emersonish as off Trilogy
	10:48am Cecile: that was a treat! I have to find that.
	10:49am KP: I like this Orange Juice
	10:49am highlowe: looks like I'll be going down the "Orange Juice" rabbit hole!
	10:49am Joe McG: @highlowe: Careful down there!
	10:51am Cecile: I wish Sam Cooke was alive, judging American Idol, and then showing them what they were doing wrong.
	10:52am Brendan: Have you heard the 'Orange Juice and Velvet Underwear ' by Intersystems? Its quite... different.
	10:52am herb.nyc: some niiiice singles, thx Joe. (soul-related: wnyc had a segment on Charles Bradley earlier today. man that guy loved his mother; very sweet.)
	10:54am Joe McG: @herb: How odd, I had the Charles Bradley CD with me and just didn't get to it.
	10:54am βrian: We need a jello mould filled with fruit, now.
	10:54am medifoo: This is just the best song ever
	10:54am Cecile: and rumaki
	10:57am pantz: Some of the best punk music came out of being trapped in the suburbs. Let's not knock it.
	10:57am Cecile: this guy wrote "Burning Love" and "Goodbye Earl"
	10:58am βrian: Yep, the music got out. The musicians never made it.
	10:59am KP: I escaped the suburbs. Now I have to listen to WFMU for three hours while I alt.park
	11:00am Joe McG: @KP: Ha ha!
	11:00am Wild Neil: I escaped the exurbs to live on the lower east side of Manhattan. Now I live in a tiny development in wine country. You can have NY! It makes me too nervous now...
	11:00am Parq: Hi Joe. Been listening off and on all morning but just getting a chance to check in. You sound tired, but a good kind of tired. You sound like you believe -- and quite rightly so -- that you are on the far end of a job well done.
	11:01am Parq: Funny that I should tune in and hear Method Actors. You played Pylon earlier. I saw the two of them on a double bill at Trax on West 72nd Street in '80.
	11:02am Joe McG: Ah, thanks, Parq! I think we did pretty OK!
	11:04am βrian: I've never heard The Method Actors, but boy do they take me back to the early 80s. What fun.
	11:05am Cecile: I wouldn't doubt it.
	11:06am Cecile: ritmo is rhythm
	11:07am βrian: Did you know 'sardonic' has its roots in Sardinia?
	11:09am P-90: DEFinitely caught the "Misty Mountain" vibe there, I was thinking that if a particular musician friend of mine were here, he would have heard it too and it would have started a whole conversation...
	11:09am KP: Frosty
	11:10am Cecile: Method Actors were also a 2-person band
	11:11am V Priceless: freddie kaboodleschnitzer still corners the market in the 'drummer name' dept.
	11:12am KP: By the time I saw Lee Michaels he only played electric piano, having given up organ to preserve his hearing. Frosty was there.
	11:12am P-90: "Frosty" a bit more of an exotic dancer name than a drummer name, but OK. And I might be mistaken, but by 1977 Virgin was indeed regarded as a pretty big label.
	11:12am Dean: "The Latin adjective is < Greek Σαρδόνιος Sardinian, which in late Greek was substituted for σαρδάνιος (Homer, etc.; of obscure origin), as the descriptive epithet of bitter or scornful laughter; the motive of the substitution was the notion that the word had primary reference to the effects of eating a ‘Sardinian plant’ (Latin herba Sardonia or Sardōa), which was said to produce facial convulsions resembling horrible laughter, usually followed by death."
	11:14am Greg from ZONE 5: I bought some Alan Watts tapes at that flea market! I think it was the first time I ever visited the station.
	11:15am Wild Neil: @Greg-Alan Watts tapes sounds like something you would get at a WFMU flea market...very apropos
	11:18am Matt Warwick: Mmmm smackers
	11:18am melinda: Figs in a flakey pie crust sounds good.
	11:18am Cheri Pi: I'm so jealous, Joe you gotta buy me an Upper Crust tshirt! I'll totes pay you back
	11:19am Cecile: VP, you know it!
	11:19am Cecile: I want to see the Crust!
	11:20am Joe McG: @Cheri Pi: Of course I will, e-mail me later on.
	11:20am herb.nyc: (wow, i see Matt Warwick's name & i wanna pee. no, not a fetish thing - it's that whenever i tune into his show it's bec i wake and need to go to bathroom) my friend is a big Upper Crust fan and i saw them at an 826NYC (?) benefit at irving plaza, years ago. they royally rocked.
	11:21am P-90: @Dean: see also the classic 1961 psychological horror film "Mr. Sardonicus."
	👻 11:22am Ken From Hyde Park: I like chicken pot pies with the delicious, flaky crust on top. I dislike chicken pot pies that don't have a bottom crust. What a scam!
	11:25am βrian: No bottom crust? I've never heard of such a thing. That just ain't right.
	11:26am statoj: I looked up that we the people tune- the credits don't list any sitar-type instruments. Was Ellen playing that on a guitar with a slide? It was tremendous!
	11:27am P-90: @herb: Well, at least it's "not a fetish thing," though I hope Matt's not disappointed...
	11:27am V Priceless: love the Crust too - just saw them in March. Weird thing is they never have any merch with them!
	11:27am βrian: Bottomless pie, served with a helping of sardonic laughter.
	11:28am Joe McG: @statoj: Yes, she was a slide player. She played the hell out of it, too!
	11:30am V Priceless: a yes....lovin' this Eno VU cover
	11:30am Wild Neil: @Ken-The upper crust had a meeting, they kicked out the bottom crust, they were too uppity. I'll email you the memo. I verbally protested, but wanted to keep my job so I just shut up. Sorry, dude.
	11:30am statoj: I remember EM's name from the 70's but I had no idea she got into ragas. (But why not? We all loved Ravi Shankar just on George Harrison's word.)
	11:31am Chris from DC: Did not know At Swin 2 Birds had been reissued.
	11:31am herb.nyc: re Thur show at Monty Hall - are wfmu dj's in bands Nude Beach and Lame Drivers? (ooops, i youtubed Nude Beach and got to some "natural" vids)
	11:32am Joe McG: @Herb: Yes, Jason Sigal is a member of Lame Drivers, the openers.
	11:32am JakeGould: Hullowe.
	11:34am herb.nyc: @JoeMcG thanks for Lame info; whenever i hear Jason Sigal i think Jesse Jarnow, and vice versa. must be my pee fetish
	11:35am herb.nyc: back to Jesse Jarnow, his book got a good review (in nytimes?)
	11:35am P-90: This is disturbing news. I don't think I've ever seen a pie, store-bought, home made, or served in a restaurant, that "cheated" by not having crust on the bottom. Egads, what will they think of next? Has Bernie and/or Hillary taken a position on this?
	11:36am Cecile: A cobbler is a pie with no bottom crust. Some people do just a top crust because they are either counting calories or they don't like a soggy bottom crust. It's not that unusual
	11:39am JakeGould: I actually like Table Talk pies… chrips chrips chrips howls teenage laughter chirps chirps
	11:40am Dean: Once when I was in elementary school my mother put an individually wrapped piece of cherry pie (no Freud jokes, please) in my lunch, which was weird, because I don't recall her ever giving me dessert-type stuff at lunch. I only realized after eating about half the slice that it was resting on a thin piece of cardboard. I'd taken several bites from the cardboard.
	11:42am statoj: On that Richard Griffiths British detective series, Pie in the Sky, chef Henry Crabbe, noted for his steak and kidney pie, never used a bottom crust (although I say the more crust the better.)
	11:42am P-90: @herb: know what you mean about possible Jason/Jesse confusion, being a bit of a night owl myself. I know jj's book got a glowing review in Rolling Stone. [Full disclosure: Jesse's been known to write for that selfsame august peiodical]
	11:43am Brendan: Its also an easier desert. Some berries sprinkled with a crumbled mixture of rolled oats, flour, small chunks of butter sprinkled with sugar makes a nice cobbler. Or crumble some chocolate chip cookies over raspberries in ramekins . In and out the oven in 15 mins and throw a scoop of ice cream and .. Uh i gotta go!
	11:44am KP: Ts?
	11:44am statoj: Dean, you were probably busy thinking about word derivations. Thanks, by the way for that gem about Sardenia. Made my day.
	11:44am highlowe: beautiful show Joe! Thank you!
	11:45am melinda: Extra crust wouldn't save a steak and kidney pie. Blech.
	11:45am Joe McG: Glad you're enjoying it, highlowe!
	11:46am Sem Chumbo: Soothing to be along w/ Clan McGasko of a Monday morning. Still looking forward to the all-cover show featuring "You Know my Name, Look up the Number" , Joe.
	11:46am P-90: I stand corrected, you guys are right: cobblers count as pies, and certain traditional meat pies have top crust only...
	11:47am Joe McG: @Sem: Oh, it's coming. :)
	11:47am statoj: Lennon! Perfect! Thank you, Joe!
	11:48am Jeff g.: Great set, Joe.
	👻 11:48am Ken From Hyde Park: I wonder if the double-decker pie has been invented yet. Even more crust to work with!
	11:49am Joe McG: Thanks, Jeff, good to see you!
	11:49am Dean: Happy to oblige, @statoj. I agree. Facial Convulsions Resembling Horrible Laughter, Usually Followed by Death would make a great band name.
	11:49am Wild Neil: @Ken-yes, you spell pie crust-p-I-e-crust.
	11:49am melinda: Thanks for the music, Joe!
	11:50am Joe McG: You bet, Melinda, so happy to do it!
	11:51am βrian: Rictus Pie (But they could never play live.)
	11:52am statoj: Dean, I think an acronym would be helpful for that band name although darn difficult.
	11:52am JakeGould: @KenFromHydePark: Tony Manero eats two slices of pizza pie on top of each other at the beginning of "Saturday Night Fever."
	11:53am Brendan: Think you'd have to bake the double pies separately and construct after. No way to bake a center crust . I like the way you're thinking though. Keep exploring the kitchen space and play with it. Good pie talk.
	11:54am P-90: Is there a bassist called Crusty? He could team up with Frosty the drummer...
	11:55am Joe McG: I'm soon to be gone, so I just want to say thanks again to anyone who made it to the Record Fair and spent their hard-earned moolah, especially at WFMU's tables, and thanks to everyone for listening and commenting!
	11:56am pantz: Thank you, Joe, for making another Monday bearable.
	11:56am Whooda: Such a nice show Joe, thanks.
	11:56am Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, Joe!
	11:57am V Priceless: Thanks, Joe! (scored some great stuff @ FMU tables Friday night!)
	11:57am SeanG: thank you Joe
	11:57am Brendan: Joe man, you killed it today! The elusive 'McGasko sound' can never be copied. Thank you.
	11:58am Wild Neil: Cool show Joe! Double crust pies sound good but impractical to make...unless you make like a bundt type hole to expose the center crust? I don't know...its a crusty problem!
	11:58am statoj: Totally awesome oasis in my morning! Thanks, statoj
	11:59am maestroso: Yes, great show, great record fair, Thanks Joe and WFMU!
	👻 11:59am Ken From Hyde Park: Donald Trump eats his pizza pie with knife and fork.
	12:00pm Brendan: Neil, i lost my appetite when i read 'crusty' and 'hole' in the same descripion.
	👻 12:00pm doctorjazz: fun show, thanks Joe
	12:01pm hendrix wolfbat: Just discovered another stellar fmu dj. About to start new paintings and that last set threw me into the paint in a big way! Thanks Joe!
	8:51am Joe McG: Thanks, hendrix wolfbat, glad you found me! Today's playlist pic is art by Jean Shin called "Sound Wave."
	6:05pm Will: Hi Joe, I thought I recognized that tune "Circles" by Michael Brown, it was one of the songs on the Stories LP "ABOUT US" in a little 1:30 version that closes out the first side. Also thanks for playing that Mick Cox track, always wondered what that record sounded like. Your fan forever, Will J, Pawtucket

	9:10am Brendan: Hi Joe and listeners. Eating my breakfast with my hands makes this set even better if that possible.
	9:10am Will: The Debo Band and the Ex together at Great Scott in Boston a few months ago was a mighty blessed event indeed.
	9:12am V Priceless: Joe! Hey!
	9:12am fleep: Sunrise over North Hollywood ... exotic, no?
	9:17am Joe McG: @fleep: Most!
	9:17am Mark R: This Konono track is quite hypnotic.

	9:20am Mark R: We needed something to warm us up on this chilly miserable morning, anyway.

	9:23am JP from KC: Greetings from the heartland, Joe and fellow noisemakers!
	9:25am Brendan: Transportive
	9:38am Polyus: Hope everyone had a swell May Day. Or Beltane, if you swing that way.
	9:41am Paul D: Yay for Pylon.
	9:42am Cecile: Pylon! The great lost band of the indie underground.
	9:43am Cecile: PELL MELL I love these guys. Another lost band.
	9:43am Cecile: I know people love Jonathan Kane around here, but Pell Mell were the ones that did it for me for rock instrumentals
	9:47am Brendan: Maurice Chevalier sings McGasko
	9:49am Ĩkє: Fat White Family was freaking nutso, and I mean that in the best way. (Also, great set, Joe.)
	👻 9:50am Ken From Hyde Park: The April showers are a couple of days late this year. What kooky weather! It's drowning the May flowers.
	9:54am Marc Francis: Coffee & Joe. A perfect way to counter this cold grey rainy day.
	9:55am Brendan: Git it on yall!
	9:56am foofs: St Louis Breakdown of sane law enforcement...
	9:56am Cecile: Oliver Sain was a big talent who had a lot of influence on soul music.
	9:57am Brendan: Sounds like two basses awesome
	9:57am Cecile: www.allmusic.com...
	9:57am Joe McG: Thanks, Ike! Nice to see you at the fair!
	9:59am Marcel M: Fat Whit Family was great indeed. Chance made my day though. I have a great video of him kissing that lady in the front. Its from behind so you can't exactly see what happened but he flies up in her face haha.
	9:59am highlowe: a cupa joe and joe @Marc Francs...I agree!
	10:01am highlowe: with dancing in the kitchen to follow I suspect! Thank you @Joe McG!
	10:01am Cecile: OK, I will like Fat White Family's name better if they are 1) fat or 2) a family, or 3) none of the above in EVERY category.
	10:01am Marcel M: @Cecile: I think its 3
	10:02am Cecile: that's cool.
	10:03am Joe McG: @highlowe: Dancing in the kitchen is always a good idea!
	10:03am Cecile: Also, I would accept it if they were all three catergories.
	10:04am KP: Chance's entrance from the back of room was brilliant. Playing and James Brown shaky stepping all the way
	10:06am Marc Francis: @highlowe: The wiggling has definitely begun in my kitchen!
	10:07am highlowe: dancing kitchens unite!
	10:07am tomasz.: morning m8s. gutted I couldn't be at the rec fair, hope you all had a blast
	10:11am Joe McG: I also rode the merry go round this year, which is something I've wanted to do for years.
	10:11am Brendan: Joe doesn't fake the funk! Bringin it to the people! Mmmmph ! Ha! Get Down with your bad selves!
	10:13am Cecile: I don't know if you can do this Joe, but I'd love to hear Brick's "Ain't Gonna Hurt Nobody".
	10:14am Joe McG: @Cecile: I don't have any with me, but I'll take a look in the library.
	10:16am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe and all! I miss the Record Fair. Can we all go back and live there?
	10:17am Cecile: thank you, Joe, that's so nice of you.
	👻 10:19am doctorjazz: Bummed I missed the Record Fair, out of town (bank account escaped a hit, though).
	10:21am melinda: Morning everyone
	10:21am Joe McG: @Greg: It's like this magic city that rises up and then magically disappears in 3 days. @Cecile: Sorry! There might be some Brick in the basement library, but nothing upstairs...I should have brought my "Dusic" 45.
	10:21am franny: @doctorjazz. I head that'n.
	10:22am Roberto: Does anyone else hear a similarity between this guitar solo and "Another Brick in the Wall?"
	10:23am Cecile: LARRY LEVAN
	10:28am Cecile: I have played the Journey into Paradise comp so much.
	10:29am Cecile: that's fine, Joe, thank you for looking!
	10:30am βrian: I thought I'd never see it, but there are blues skies over the isthmus again. Joe gets partial credit for chasing off the clouds.
	10:32am MONEYBAG$: I thought you said Larry LaLonde, the guitar player from Primus. Seemed a bit outside his wheelhouse
	10:33am Brendan: Surface Noise chases clouds, blues, heartache, gout and a thousand other ills away.
	10:34am Joe McG: @Brian: How nice! @Brendan: I'm hiring you as my PR guy.
	10:35am Polyus: "I never thought this could happen to me"
	10:36am Cecile: Another reason why 1977 statistically had one of the highest rates of one-hit wonders of any year.
	10:36am Brendan: Hey 7th fl here!
	10:36am Cecile: You should play "telephone man" to make my pain complete.
	10:37am Cecile: this is great.
	10:39am Cecile: another great one.
	10:40am fleep: No. What do you mean?
	👻 10:40am doctorjazz: Love this "Do You Know What I Mean"...the original minimalist band.
	10:40am Joe McG: Ha! The bass just jumps off this single!
	10:41am MD: Ahoy-hoy All!!!
	10:41am Wild Neil: Hey Cecile!
	10:41am chris_in_space: @Joe McG the bass jumps indeed
	10:42am Cecile: hey, Neil! I know Reginald Dwight was listening to this at the time.
	10:42am MD: I lived...That 70's Show...
	10:43am highlowe: ok...smooth transition from soul to country. hat's off!
	10:44am Cecile: grrrrrrrrr. I just went to a women's leadership conference, and left feeling misogynistic. It was depressing for so many reasons. But the food was good.
	10:45am Cecile: hahahahha, that last line saved the whole song!!!
	10:45am βrian: Leadership sullies your soul. Don't let them get away with it!
	10:46am highlowe: @Cecile so true!
	10:46am Cecile: Michael Brown from the Left Banke?
	10:46am βrian: Wow, this sounds like a player piano.
	10:47am highlowe: there's a record label called Kama Sutra? : )
	10:47am Joe McG: @Cecile: The very same!
	10:47am Brendan: Nice! Very Emersonish as off Trilogy
	10:48am Cecile: that was a treat! I have to find that.
	10:49am KP: I like this Orange Juice
	10:49am highlowe: looks like I'll be going down the "Orange Juice" rabbit hole!
	10:49am Joe McG: @highlowe: Careful down there!
	10:51am Cecile: I wish Sam Cooke was alive, judging American Idol, and then showing them what they were doing wrong.
	10:52am Brendan: Have you heard the 'Orange Juice and Velvet Underwear ' by Intersystems? Its quite... different.
	10:52am herb.nyc: some niiiice singles, thx Joe. (soul-related: wnyc had a segment on Charles Bradley earlier today. man that guy loved his mother; very sweet.)
	10:54am Joe McG: @herb: How odd, I had the Charles Bradley CD with me and just didn't get to it.
	10:54am βrian: We need a jello mould filled with fruit, now.
	10:54am medifoo: This is just the best song ever
	10:54am Cecile: and rumaki
	10:57am pantz: Some of the best punk music came out of being trapped in the suburbs. Let's not knock it.
	10:57am Cecile: this guy wrote "Burning Love" and "Goodbye Earl"
	10:58am βrian: Yep, the music got out. The musicians never made it.
	10:59am KP: I escaped the suburbs. Now I have to listen to WFMU for three hours while I alt.park
	11:00am Joe McG: @KP: Ha ha!
	11:00am Wild Neil: I escaped the exurbs to live on the lower east side of Manhattan. Now I live in a tiny development in wine country. You can have NY! It makes me too nervous now...
	11:00am Parq: Hi Joe. Been listening off and on all morning but just getting a chance to check in. You sound tired, but a good kind of tired. You sound like you believe -- and quite rightly so -- that you are on the far end of a job well done.
	11:01am Parq: Funny that I should tune in and hear Method Actors. You played Pylon earlier. I saw the two of them on a double bill at Trax on West 72nd Street in '80.
	11:02am Joe McG: Ah, thanks, Parq! I think we did pretty OK!
	11:04am βrian: I've never heard The Method Actors, but boy do they take me back to the early 80s. What fun.
	11:05am Cecile: I wouldn't doubt it.
	11:06am Cecile: ritmo is rhythm
	11:07am βrian: Did you know 'sardonic' has its roots in Sardinia?
	11:09am P-90: DEFinitely caught the "Misty Mountain" vibe there, I was thinking that if a particular musician friend of mine were here, he would have heard it too and it would have started a whole conversation...
	11:09am KP: Frosty
	11:10am Cecile: Method Actors were also a 2-person band
	11:11am V Priceless: freddie kaboodleschnitzer still corners the market in the 'drummer name' dept.
	11:12am KP: By the time I saw Lee Michaels he only played electric piano, having given up organ to preserve his hearing. Frosty was there.
	11:12am P-90: "Frosty" a bit more of an exotic dancer name than a drummer name, but OK. And I might be mistaken, but by 1977 Virgin was indeed regarded as a pretty big label.
	11:12am Dean: "The Latin adjective is < Greek Σαρδόνιος Sardinian, which in late Greek was substituted for σαρδάνιος (Homer, etc.; of obscure origin), as the descriptive epithet of bitter or scornful laughter; the motive of the substitution was the notion that the word had primary reference to the effects of eating a ‘Sardinian plant’ (Latin herba Sardonia or Sardōa), which was said to produce facial convulsions resembling horrible laughter, usually followed by death."
	11:14am Greg from ZONE 5: I bought some Alan Watts tapes at that flea market! I think it was the first time I ever visited the station.
	11:15am Wild Neil: @Greg-Alan Watts tapes sounds like something you would get at a WFMU flea market...very apropos
	11:18am Matt Warwick: Mmmm smackers
	11:18am melinda: Figs in a flakey pie crust sounds good.
	11:18am Cheri Pi: I'm so jealous, Joe you gotta buy me an Upper Crust tshirt! I'll totes pay you back
	11:19am Cecile: VP, you know it!
	11:19am Cecile: I want to see the Crust!
	11:20am Joe McG: @Cheri Pi: Of course I will, e-mail me later on.
	11:20am herb.nyc: (wow, i see Matt Warwick's name & i wanna pee. no, not a fetish thing - it's that whenever i tune into his show it's bec i wake and need to go to bathroom) my friend is a big Upper Crust fan and i saw them at an 826NYC (?) benefit at irving plaza, years ago. they royally rocked.
	11:21am P-90: @Dean: see also the classic 1961 psychological horror film "Mr. Sardonicus."
	👻 11:22am Ken From Hyde Park: I like chicken pot pies with the delicious, flaky crust on top. I dislike chicken pot pies that don't have a bottom crust. What a scam!
	11:25am βrian: No bottom crust? I've never heard of such a thing. That just ain't right.
	11:26am statoj: I looked up that we the people tune- the credits don't list any sitar-type instruments. Was Ellen playing that on a guitar with a slide? It was tremendous!
	11:27am P-90: @herb: Well, at least it's "not a fetish thing," though I hope Matt's not disappointed...
	11:27am V Priceless: love the Crust too - just saw them in March. Weird thing is they never have any merch with them!
	11:27am βrian: Bottomless pie, served with a helping of sardonic laughter.
	11:28am Joe McG: @statoj: Yes, she was a slide player. She played the hell out of it, too!
	11:30am V Priceless: a yes....lovin' this Eno VU cover
	11:30am Wild Neil: @Ken-The upper crust had a meeting, they kicked out the bottom crust, they were too uppity. I'll email you the memo. I verbally protested, but wanted to keep my job so I just shut up. Sorry, dude.
	11:30am statoj: I remember EM's name from the 70's but I had no idea she got into ragas. (But why not? We all loved Ravi Shankar just on George Harrison's word.)
	11:31am Chris from DC: Did not know At Swin 2 Birds had been reissued.
	11:31am herb.nyc: re Thur show at Monty Hall - are wfmu dj's in bands Nude Beach and Lame Drivers? (ooops, i youtubed Nude Beach and got to some "natural" vids)
	11:32am Joe McG: @Herb: Yes, Jason Sigal is a member of Lame Drivers, the openers.
	11:32am JakeGould: Hullowe.
	11:34am herb.nyc: @JoeMcG thanks for Lame info; whenever i hear Jason Sigal i think Jesse Jarnow, and vice versa. must be my pee fetish
	11:35am herb.nyc: back to Jesse Jarnow, his book got a good review (in nytimes?)
	11:35am P-90: This is disturbing news. I don't think I've ever seen a pie, store-bought, home made, or served in a restaurant, that "cheated" by not having crust on the bottom. Egads, what will they think of next? Has Bernie and/or Hillary taken a position on this?
	11:36am Cecile: A cobbler is a pie with no bottom crust. Some people do just a top crust because they are either counting calories or they don't like a soggy bottom crust. It's not that unusual
	11:39am JakeGould: I actually like Table Talk pies… chrips chrips chrips howls teenage laughter chirps chirps
	11:40am Dean: Once when I was in elementary school my mother put an individually wrapped piece of cherry pie (no Freud jokes, please) in my lunch, which was weird, because I don't recall her ever giving me dessert-type stuff at lunch. I only realized after eating about half the slice that it was resting on a thin piece of cardboard. I'd taken several bites from the cardboard.
	11:42am statoj: On that Richard Griffiths British detective series, Pie in the Sky, chef Henry Crabbe, noted for his steak and kidney pie, never used a bottom crust (although I say the more crust the better.)
	11:42am P-90: @herb: know what you mean about possible Jason/Jesse confusion, being a bit of a night owl myself. I know jj's book got a glowing review in Rolling Stone. [Full disclosure: Jesse's been known to write for that selfsame august peiodical]
	11:43am Brendan: Its also an easier desert. Some berries sprinkled with a crumbled mixture of rolled oats, flour, small chunks of butter sprinkled with sugar makes a nice cobbler. Or crumble some chocolate chip cookies over raspberries in ramekins . In and out the oven in 15 mins and throw a scoop of ice cream and .. Uh i gotta go!
	11:44am KP: Ts?
	11:44am statoj: Dean, you were probably busy thinking about word derivations. Thanks, by the way for that gem about Sardenia. Made my day.
	11:44am highlowe: beautiful show Joe! Thank you!
	11:45am melinda: Extra crust wouldn't save a steak and kidney pie. Blech.
	11:45am Joe McG: Glad you're enjoying it, highlowe!
	11:46am Sem Chumbo: Soothing to be along w/ Clan McGasko of a Monday morning. Still looking forward to the all-cover show featuring "You Know my Name, Look up the Number" , Joe.
	11:46am P-90: I stand corrected, you guys are right: cobblers count as pies, and certain traditional meat pies have top crust only...
	11:47am Joe McG: @Sem: Oh, it's coming. :)
	11:47am statoj: Lennon! Perfect! Thank you, Joe!
	11:48am Jeff g.: Great set, Joe.
	👻 11:48am Ken From Hyde Park: I wonder if the double-decker pie has been invented yet. Even more crust to work with!
	11:49am Joe McG: Thanks, Jeff, good to see you!
	11:49am Dean: Happy to oblige, @statoj. I agree. Facial Convulsions Resembling Horrible Laughter, Usually Followed by Death would make a great band name.
	11:49am Wild Neil: @Ken-yes, you spell pie crust-p-I-e-crust.
	11:49am melinda: Thanks for the music, Joe!
	11:50am Joe McG: You bet, Melinda, so happy to do it!
	11:51am βrian: Rictus Pie (But they could never play live.)
	11:52am statoj: Dean, I think an acronym would be helpful for that band name although darn difficult.
	11:52am JakeGould: @KenFromHydePark: Tony Manero eats two slices of pizza pie on top of each other at the beginning of "Saturday Night Fever."
	11:53am Brendan: Think you'd have to bake the double pies separately and construct after. No way to bake a center crust . I like the way you're thinking though. Keep exploring the kitchen space and play with it. Good pie talk.
	11:54am P-90: Is there a bassist called Crusty? He could team up with Frosty the drummer...
	11:55am Joe McG: I'm soon to be gone, so I just want to say thanks again to anyone who made it to the Record Fair and spent their hard-earned moolah, especially at WFMU's tables, and thanks to everyone for listening and commenting!
	11:56am pantz: Thank you, Joe, for making another Monday bearable.
	11:56am Whooda: Such a nice show Joe, thanks.
	11:56am Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, Joe!
	11:57am V Priceless: Thanks, Joe! (scored some great stuff @ FMU tables Friday night!)
	11:57am SeanG: thank you Joe
	11:57am Brendan: Joe man, you killed it today! The elusive 'McGasko sound' can never be copied. Thank you.
	11:58am Wild Neil: Cool show Joe! Double crust pies sound good but impractical to make...unless you make like a bundt type hole to expose the center crust? I don't know...its a crusty problem!
	11:58am statoj: Totally awesome oasis in my morning! Thanks, statoj
	11:59am maestroso: Yes, great show, great record fair, Thanks Joe and WFMU!
	👻 11:59am Ken From Hyde Park: Donald Trump eats his pizza pie with knife and fork.
	12:00pm Brendan: Neil, i lost my appetite when i read 'crusty' and 'hole' in the same descripion.
	👻 12:00pm doctorjazz: fun show, thanks Joe
	12:01pm hendrix wolfbat: Just discovered another stellar fmu dj. About to start new paintings and that last set threw me into the paint in a big way! Thanks Joe!
	8:51am Joe McG: Thanks, hendrix wolfbat, glad you found me! Today's playlist pic is art by Jean Shin called "Sound Wave."
	6:05pm Will: Hi Joe, I thought I recognized that tune "Circles" by Michael Brown, it was one of the songs on the Stories LP "ABOUT US" in a little 1:30 version that closes out the first side. Also thanks for playing that Mick Cox track, always wondered what that record sounded like. Your fan forever, Will J, Pawtucket
