	9:03am pantz: Morning Joe. Wadda ya know?
	9:05am Sem Chumbo: Oldie and still a goodies. Good morning, Joe, and clan McGasko.
	👻 9:07am doctorjazz: Nice opening, Hi all!
	👻 9:08am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Sem, cannot get motivated outside what with backache and streaming cold. Just going to feel sorry for myself indoors with Joe.
	9:08am sphere: hello all. my new headphones are nice!
	9:09am BennettCap: Long drive ahead this morning. Couldn't be happier to have Joe co-piloting.
	👻 9:10am Brian in UK: Hall & Oats sing a song with this title. First album.
	9:11am Sem Chumbo: Dotage has its benefits, @BiUK. I suggest feet up, decent brandy at socially responsible intervals, and some humourous reading. You'll live to garden another day.
	9:11am Joe McG: Happy Monday, folks! Hope you feel better, Brian. Congrats on the headphones, sphere!
	9:12am melinda: hello Joe & McGaskets
	👻 9:14am Brian in UK: Sem, just read Pelacanos' The Double and now Le Carre, so something light would be good.
	👻 9:16am Brian in UK: Ofcourse SGS week.
	9:18am sphere: thanks, Mr. McG! :)
	9:18am Sem Chumbo: Unfamiliar with Pelacanos, but will query the library. Setting up this winter's reading list, looking for things I would not otherwise entertain.
	9:19am sphere: George Pelecanos is known for writing noir-type thrillers set in Washington DC.
	9:21am Sem Chumbo: Thx, @sphere for the genre, and the spell check:-) The Double now on the hold list, thx. BiUK.
	9:28am Polyus: Definitely my favorite time of year. Seems like the last two have flown by without me having much time to enjoy them, unfortunately.
	👻 9:29am tadpoles: I've always liked Autumn better than Fall.
	9:29am Marcel M: Morning, Joe!
	9:30am JakeGould: If it's organized then shouldn't it be called "Sing-Anal File." That's horrible. Forget that.
	9:32am Joe McG: @tadpoles: "Fall" does create some interesting metaphors, though. Morning, Marcel, Sem, Jake, Polyus, melinda, bennett, drjazz, pantz, cheri pi, annie! Did I get everybody so far?
	9:34am Marcel M: DAYS OF THE WEEK
	👻 9:35am doctorjazz: Great set 1, set 2 is starting out great as well!
	9:35am Joe McG: Marcel: DING DING DING!
	9:36am Joe McG: What do you guys think of this song? I'm genuinely interested!
	👻 9:37am Ken From Hyde Park: I don't like Mondays less because of Joe and WFMU. Did I phrase that correctly?
	9:37am Joe McG: Aw, Ken, how nice!
	9:38am Brendan: Hi Joe. The Rats had it right. Can we go back to Thursday? Please?
	👻 9:38am Brian in UK: Irish opportunism.
	9:38am Cooh John: Good Monday morning, JM and all extraneous noisemakers.
	9:38am Marcel M: The Monday song? I like it. Have you played it before? I feel like I've heard it.
	9:39am Cheri Pi: I'm eating strawberry soyghurt with chopsticks
	9:40am Joe McG: @Marcel: I must have. I'm just curious. I used to find it overblown, but so many school shootings later, it seems less cartoonish to me.
	👻 9:40am tadpoles: "I don't like Mondays" based on a true story of a shooting (in California I think). It happened just as I arrived in the US and I always thought it was the Rats commenting on US gun culture. "Why did you shoot?" "Oh I don't like Mondays!" True story.
	9:41am Joe McG: @Cheri Pi: Skilled!
	👻 9:43am Ken From Hyde Park: Tried eating gelatin cubes with chopsticks. Is not easy.
	👻 9:45am Brian in UK: @Cheri Pi are they hollow?
	9:46am Marcel M: I actually didn't even catch what it was about and I liked it as a goofy song.. now I like it more!
	9:47am Cheri Pi: No, they're enameled wood, and very slender. I can't remember the last time I had the foresight to bring a spoon to work on yoghurt day.
	9:49am Parq: Ah, for those halcyon days when school shootings were so remarkable that Irish dudes wrote songs about them.
	👻 9:50am Brian in UK: Joe, what Tom Waits' album would this be from. Guess an early one, he has a voice.
	9:51am Joe McG: @Brian: That's the second one. It's the title track, actually.
	👻 9:51am Brian in UK: Joe, from what I remember it was a toss up between Leyton Buzzards and Mood Six to sign to Chrysalis. The Buzzards won.
	👻 9:51am doctorjazz: It was Waits' second album, that was the name of the album as well. www.discogs.com...
	👻 9:54am Ken From Hyde Park: Today's bonus bonus track: Beatles' "Eight Days a Week."
	9:54am Joe McG: @Ken: You're a genius. Wish I had it!
	9:59am MD: E-Talian....'Cause we love to eat!!!
	10:01am BennettCap: Oh jeez.
	10:01am MD: Some People Did not like Tuesdays...
	10:03am Joe McG: @MD: True enough! (Jim Price promised to sue me if I didn't play that, btw.)
	10:03am MD: BOTH TYPES OF MUSIC!!! THANKS JOE!!!
	10:04am Marcel M: Out in the country no talk that god is dead.. hah!
	10:05am Brendan: Alright, bring on the country gals! Will there be cryin , drinkin , Jesus and regret? And biscuits too? Mmm mmmm good!
	10:06am MD: ILove that Jim Price pitch...I love the fake Time Compression!!!
	👻 10:06am Brian in UK: The word Broadminded is spelt SIN.
	10:07am Joe McG: @Brendan: You betcha!
	10:10am Brendan: Country girls gone wild!
	10:11am Marcel M: I'm from Philadelphia.. we believe in God! Philly is the country, right?
	👻 10:12am Ken From Hyde Park: @Marcel M - As long as you're on the Wentz Wagon, sure.
	👻 10:12am Brian in UK: Joe, at a guess how many 45s do you own? You have the right to remain silent.
	10:13am Joe McG: @Marcel: God is in the cheesesteaks. @Brian: I don't have to guess, I have an exact count right now: 4432. Not that many compared to my WFMU compatriots!
	10:15am bobdoesthings: goodmorning
	10:17am βrian: Another fine autumn day on the isthmus. Good morning.
	10:17am Joe McG: Hey bob!
	10:18am pantz: Hell hath no fury like a woman named Georgia Rae. A little tip from a Southerner, folks with two first names aren't to be wronged.
	10:22am Joe McG: Hey Brian! @pantz: I will take that under advisement!
	10:23am Marcel M: BOB!
	10:23am Marcel M: Singles going steady is by far going to be my longest playlist. I'm a-scared.
	10:24am Joe McG: @Marcel: You can do it!
	10:24am PKNY: @Joe - after this country set, I sure feel a lot better about myself and my life!
	10:25am Joe McG: @PKNY: Ha ha ha!
	👻 10:25am Brian in UK: Where would Country be without a pedal steel and a bottle.
	10:27am bobdoesthings: can I just say - you all are looking quite ravishing this morning..
	10:27am Marc15: Is the theme here-- bad country relationships?
	10:29am Joe McG: @Marc15: I'd say that's pretty darn close!
	10:29am Sem Chumbo: If it's sins, it spins, man.
	👻 10:31am Brian in UK: This is the nadir.
	10:32am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe & all!
	10:33am βrian: Prison, mom ...
	10:35am pantz: No wonder Peggy Sue sounds like Loretta Lynn, she's her little sister.
	10:35am BennettCap: I just wrote a country song, inspired by your set. If you can't run from your heart, let it sing you.
	10:36am βrian: "Mothers, prison, trucks, trains, farms, Christmas, and dead dogs are essential, you can't have a good country song without them things." www.jpshrine.org...
	10:41am Parq: Ah, I'm settled into my desk earlier than usual. I'm on time for Single File for a change. Wait, what?
	10:42am Lewis: Ok - I was listening to Violent Femmes earlier this morning and the vocals here sound like that... Is there a connection to Television?
	👻 10:42am doctorjazz: Television!!!
	10:43am pantz: @Lewis I'd be willing to bet Gordon Gano was a big Television fan back in his early Milwaukee days.
	10:45am sphere: this Kongos single is nice!
	10:46am хтinа: Mornin! Definitely feelin' that happy blues vibe too
	10:48am Joe McG: @xtina: Mornin'! Feels good, no?
	👻 10:48am Brian in UK: If the chain don't break.
	10:48am Lewis: @pantz - Thanks!
	10:48am Parq: I used to hear that Kongos single all the time and never knew who it was. I think I sorta assumed it was T-Rex.
	👻 10:50am tadpoles: Audience - love ya Joe!
	10:50am Joe McG: Jus' for you, tadpoles!
	10:51am Joe: 'ello folks
	10:53am Joe McG: I promised all post-1973 45s on Elektra, but I brought so many good ones that are a little earlier. Hope y'all don't mind.
	👻 10:54am Brian in UK: Did Elektra take this up in the US? Oh Alan Hull.
	10:54am Joe: so far we win so I thinks it's ok.
	10:56am Mick: Such a fun Elektra set!
	10:57am Joe McG: Hiya, Joe! Heya, Mick!
	👻 11:00am Brian in UK: Joe, got any Jason Falkner?
	👻 11:00am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for the Elektralisis treatment this morning, Joe.
	11:01am Joe McG: @Ken: Ha! Nice coinage there, Ken.
	11:05am βrian: Being from Boston, they were known locally as "The Cahs."
	11:06am ChrisB.: Yay! Shoes!
	11:07am Joe McG: @Brian: Ha ha!
	11:09am sphere: could X be considered post-punk in some ways?
	11:09am Joe stalvey: So good to hear X!
	11:11am Lewis: Joe McG rocks!!
	11:11am Parq: Saved the best for last, eh?
	11:12am pantz: Oh Gabe. Where is he now?
	11:12am ChrisB.: No wonder Gabe turned to professional poker.
	11:12am Joe McG: @Parq: Elektra's proudest moment!
	11:12am Sem Chumbo: Catch phrases. Whatareyagonnado?
	11:12am Brendan: Travolta aside, I wonder where the Sweathogs are now?
	11:14am pantz: It's like he dates himself with every line.
	11:14am PKNY: @Brendan - Epstein died a few years ago --> www.nj.com...
	👻 11:15am Ken From Hyde Park: Arnold Horshack died in 2012.
	11:15am Joe McG: I know that Lawrence Hilton Jacobs made an album once. I used to own it!
	11:15am ChrisB.: Does this count as a Halloween song?
	11:16am Sem Chumbo: Is this a reboot of the melody from MAY A BIRD OF PARADISE FLY UP YOUR NOSE?
	11:16am Joe McG: @ChrisB: Damn, Chris, I should have saved it! @Sem: I think it IS!
	11:17am Epstein's mother: Juan is going to be very late today.
	11:17am Brendan: @PK sad to hear . I used to like his excuse notes signed Epstein's Mother.
	👻 11:18am Brian in UK: Hello Jeff.
	11:19am Brendan: I was in love with Mrs Kotter
	11:19am ChrisB.: Funny how Epstein was supposed to be Puerto Rican, but sounded just like Chico Marx.
	👻 11:20am Brian in UK: Harry Chapin was one of Jac's favourites.
	11:21am βrian: " ... teacher hit me with a ruler."
	11:21am Epstein's mother: Hey, Brian. I too was enamored of Mrs. Kotter (RIP).
	11:22am Joe McG: @Brendan: I kinda was, too.
	👻 11:22am Brian in UK: @βrian s'funny we had that line over here too.
	👻 11:22am Ken From Hyde Park: I like how the Sweathogs would come to visit and just barge in through the fire escape.
	11:23am Jeff: I just know this as "the Elvis arrangement" - did Mickey Newbury do it first?
	11:23am βrian: Nurse Margie Cutler, too!
	11:27am melinda: Welcome Back, Kotter was one of the tv shows that shaped my childhood impression of NYC.
	11:28am Dean: Werth was among the first artists to record for Dangerhouse Records (X, Avengers, Randoms, etc.).
	11:28am annie: so, i had to step out; i see i mised some good stuff. glad to be back

	11:32am Sue P.: Martha & I may also be on w/ Daniel Blumin Friday night, if yr lucky (?).
	11:33am Polyus: Don't do it Joe!
	11:34am MenfussMike: the first 2 Crue records are STILL good
	11:34am Brendan: Damn. Mrs Kotter died too! Besides the acting wiki says she did three records in 67-68. Wow.
	👻 11:35am doctorjazz: I know it's an answer record, but they could have changed a note or background here or there...
	👻 11:36am Brian in UK: Response records, maybe. Great show as ever, Joe. Got to walk the dawg.
	11:36am joe: Answer songs?
	11:36am Joe McG: @Jeff: Yes, he did it first! @Brian: Now you're talking--Nurse Cutler, yow! @SueP: Great news!
	11:36am Joe McG: @joe: No, think more obvious!
	11:36am kevlicki: I can handle some crue, but cannot stand Nikki Sixx's sexist dumb ass banter on whatever radio show is broadcasted over the airwaves.
	11:38am Epstein's mother: Mrs. Kotter, you've got some leaves on your face: img.discogs.com...

	11:51am V Priceless: @ Joe: an all-"tomorrow" show could work, no? Great stuff...
	11:51am Sue P.: This is Strawberry Alarm Clock track is Nazz-erific
	11:51am Dennis Diken: digging the show Joe. "Tomorrow" is one of the best 45s ever!

	9:29am Marcel M: Morning, Joe!
	9:30am JakeGould: If it's organized then shouldn't it be called "Sing-Anal File." That's horrible. Forget that.
	9:32am Joe McG: @tadpoles: "Fall" does create some interesting metaphors, though. Morning, Marcel, Sem, Jake, Polyus, melinda, bennett, drjazz, pantz, cheri pi, annie! Did I get everybody so far?
	9:34am Marcel M: DAYS OF THE WEEK
	👻 9:35am doctorjazz: Great set 1, set 2 is starting out great as well!
	9:35am Joe McG: Marcel: DING DING DING!
	9:36am Joe McG: What do you guys think of this song? I'm genuinely interested!
	👻 9:37am Ken From Hyde Park: I don't like Mondays less because of Joe and WFMU. Did I phrase that correctly?
	9:37am Joe McG: Aw, Ken, how nice!
	9:38am Brendan: Hi Joe. The Rats had it right. Can we go back to Thursday? Please?
	👻 9:38am Brian in UK: Irish opportunism.
	9:38am Cooh John: Good Monday morning, JM and all extraneous noisemakers.
	9:38am Marcel M: The Monday song? I like it. Have you played it before? I feel like I've heard it.
	9:39am Cheri Pi: I'm eating strawberry soyghurt with chopsticks
	9:40am Joe McG: @Marcel: I must have. I'm just curious. I used to find it overblown, but so many school shootings later, it seems less cartoonish to me.
	👻 9:40am tadpoles: "I don't like Mondays" based on a true story of a shooting (in California I think). It happened just as I arrived in the US and I always thought it was the Rats commenting on US gun culture. "Why did you shoot?" "Oh I don't like Mondays!" True story.
	9:41am Joe McG: @Cheri Pi: Skilled!
	👻 9:43am Ken From Hyde Park: Tried eating gelatin cubes with chopsticks. Is not easy.
	👻 9:45am Brian in UK: @Cheri Pi are they hollow?
	9:46am Marcel M: I actually didn't even catch what it was about and I liked it as a goofy song.. now I like it more!
	9:47am Cheri Pi: No, they're enameled wood, and very slender. I can't remember the last time I had the foresight to bring a spoon to work on yoghurt day.
	9:49am Parq: Ah, for those halcyon days when school shootings were so remarkable that Irish dudes wrote songs about them.
	👻 9:50am Brian in UK: Joe, what Tom Waits' album would this be from. Guess an early one, he has a voice.
	9:51am Joe McG: @Brian: That's the second one. It's the title track, actually.
	👻 9:51am Brian in UK: Joe, from what I remember it was a toss up between Leyton Buzzards and Mood Six to sign to Chrysalis. The Buzzards won.
	👻 9:51am doctorjazz: It was Waits' second album, that was the name of the album as well. www.discogs.com...
	👻 9:54am Ken From Hyde Park: Today's bonus bonus track: Beatles' "Eight Days a Week."
	9:54am Joe McG: @Ken: You're a genius. Wish I had it!
	9:59am MD: E-Talian....'Cause we love to eat!!!
	10:01am BennettCap: Oh jeez.
	10:01am MD: Some People Did not like Tuesdays...
	10:03am Joe McG: @MD: True enough! (Jim Price promised to sue me if I didn't play that, btw.)
	10:03am MD: BOTH TYPES OF MUSIC!!! THANKS JOE!!!
	10:04am Marcel M: Out in the country no talk that god is dead.. hah!
	10:05am Brendan: Alright, bring on the country gals! Will there be cryin , drinkin , Jesus and regret? And biscuits too? Mmm mmmm good!
	10:06am MD: ILove that Jim Price pitch...I love the fake Time Compression!!!
	👻 10:06am Brian in UK: The word Broadminded is spelt SIN.
	10:07am Joe McG: @Brendan: You betcha!
	10:10am Brendan: Country girls gone wild!
	10:11am Marcel M: I'm from Philadelphia.. we believe in God! Philly is the country, right?
	👻 10:12am Ken From Hyde Park: @Marcel M - As long as you're on the Wentz Wagon, sure.
	👻 10:12am Brian in UK: Joe, at a guess how many 45s do you own? You have the right to remain silent.
	10:13am Joe McG: @Marcel: God is in the cheesesteaks. @Brian: I don't have to guess, I have an exact count right now: 4432. Not that many compared to my WFMU compatriots!
	10:15am bobdoesthings: goodmorning
	10:17am βrian: Another fine autumn day on the isthmus. Good morning.
	10:17am Joe McG: Hey bob!
	10:18am pantz: Hell hath no fury like a woman named Georgia Rae. A little tip from a Southerner, folks with two first names aren't to be wronged.
	10:22am Joe McG: Hey Brian! @pantz: I will take that under advisement!
	10:23am Marcel M: BOB!
	10:23am Marcel M: Singles going steady is by far going to be my longest playlist. I'm a-scared.
	10:24am Joe McG: @Marcel: You can do it!
	10:24am PKNY: @Joe - after this country set, I sure feel a lot better about myself and my life!
	10:25am Joe McG: @PKNY: Ha ha ha!
	👻 10:25am Brian in UK: Where would Country be without a pedal steel and a bottle.
	10:27am bobdoesthings: can I just say - you all are looking quite ravishing this morning..
	10:27am Marc15: Is the theme here-- bad country relationships?
	10:29am Joe McG: @Marc15: I'd say that's pretty darn close!
	10:29am Sem Chumbo: If it's sins, it spins, man.
	👻 10:31am Brian in UK: This is the nadir.
	10:32am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe & all!
	10:33am βrian: Prison, mom ...
	10:35am pantz: No wonder Peggy Sue sounds like Loretta Lynn, she's her little sister.
	10:35am BennettCap: I just wrote a country song, inspired by your set. If you can't run from your heart, let it sing you.
	10:36am βrian: "Mothers, prison, trucks, trains, farms, Christmas, and dead dogs are essential, you can't have a good country song without them things." www.jpshrine.org...
	10:41am Parq: Ah, I'm settled into my desk earlier than usual. I'm on time for Single File for a change. Wait, what?
	10:42am Lewis: Ok - I was listening to Violent Femmes earlier this morning and the vocals here sound like that... Is there a connection to Television?
	👻 10:42am doctorjazz: Television!!!
	10:43am pantz: @Lewis I'd be willing to bet Gordon Gano was a big Television fan back in his early Milwaukee days.
	10:45am sphere: this Kongos single is nice!
	10:46am хтinа: Mornin! Definitely feelin' that happy blues vibe too
	10:48am Joe McG: @xtina: Mornin'! Feels good, no?
	👻 10:48am Brian in UK: If the chain don't break.
	10:48am Lewis: @pantz - Thanks!
	10:48am Parq: I used to hear that Kongos single all the time and never knew who it was. I think I sorta assumed it was T-Rex.
	👻 10:50am tadpoles: Audience - love ya Joe!
	10:50am Joe McG: Jus' for you, tadpoles!
	10:51am Joe: 'ello folks
	10:53am Joe McG: I promised all post-1973 45s on Elektra, but I brought so many good ones that are a little earlier. Hope y'all don't mind.
	👻 10:54am Brian in UK: Did Elektra take this up in the US? Oh Alan Hull.
	10:54am Joe: so far we win so I thinks it's ok.
	10:56am Mick: Such a fun Elektra set!
	10:57am Joe McG: Hiya, Joe! Heya, Mick!
	👻 11:00am Brian in UK: Joe, got any Jason Falkner?
	👻 11:00am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for the Elektralisis treatment this morning, Joe.
	11:01am Joe McG: @Ken: Ha! Nice coinage there, Ken.
	11:05am βrian: Being from Boston, they were known locally as "The Cahs."
	11:06am ChrisB.: Yay! Shoes!
	11:07am Joe McG: @Brian: Ha ha!
	11:09am sphere: could X be considered post-punk in some ways?
	11:09am Joe stalvey: So good to hear X!
	11:11am Lewis: Joe McG rocks!!
	11:11am Parq: Saved the best for last, eh?
	11:12am pantz: Oh Gabe. Where is he now?
	11:12am ChrisB.: No wonder Gabe turned to professional poker.
	11:12am Joe McG: @Parq: Elektra's proudest moment!
	11:12am Sem Chumbo: Catch phrases. Whatareyagonnado?
	11:12am Brendan: Travolta aside, I wonder where the Sweathogs are now?
	11:14am pantz: It's like he dates himself with every line.
	11:14am PKNY: @Brendan - Epstein died a few years ago --> www.nj.com...
	👻 11:15am Ken From Hyde Park: Arnold Horshack died in 2012.
	11:15am Joe McG: I know that Lawrence Hilton Jacobs made an album once. I used to own it!
	11:15am ChrisB.: Does this count as a Halloween song?
	11:16am Sem Chumbo: Is this a reboot of the melody from MAY A BIRD OF PARADISE FLY UP YOUR NOSE?
	11:16am Joe McG: @ChrisB: Damn, Chris, I should have saved it! @Sem: I think it IS!
	11:17am Epstein's mother: Juan is going to be very late today.
	11:17am Brendan: @PK sad to hear . I used to like his excuse notes signed Epstein's Mother.
	👻 11:18am Brian in UK: Hello Jeff.
	11:19am Brendan: I was in love with Mrs Kotter
	11:19am ChrisB.: Funny how Epstein was supposed to be Puerto Rican, but sounded just like Chico Marx.
	👻 11:20am Brian in UK: Harry Chapin was one of Jac's favourites.
	11:21am βrian: " ... teacher hit me with a ruler."
	11:21am Epstein's mother: Hey, Brian. I too was enamored of Mrs. Kotter (RIP).
	11:22am Joe McG: @Brendan: I kinda was, too.
	👻 11:22am Brian in UK: @βrian s'funny we had that line over here too.
	👻 11:22am Ken From Hyde Park: I like how the Sweathogs would come to visit and just barge in through the fire escape.
	11:23am Jeff: I just know this as "the Elvis arrangement" - did Mickey Newbury do it first?
	11:23am βrian: Nurse Margie Cutler, too!
	11:27am melinda: Welcome Back, Kotter was one of the tv shows that shaped my childhood impression of NYC.

	11:34am MenfussMike: the first 2 Crue records are STILL good
	11:34am Brendan: Damn. Mrs Kotter died too! Besides the acting wiki says she did three records in 67-68. Wow.
	👻 11:35am doctorjazz: I know it's an answer record, but they could have changed a note or background here or there...
	👻 11:36am Brian in UK: Response records, maybe. Great show as ever, Joe. Got to walk the dawg.
	11:36am joe: Answer songs?

	11:36am Joe McG: @joe: No, think more obvious!
