The audience filled out a form with 3 requests before the show, he picked them out of a bowl, and, with the aid of an assistant who found lyrics on a laptop and printed them out for him, proceeded to do a terrific show, amazing. (he pulled off the Beatles "And Your Bird Can Sing", if my memory serves me well).
	9:26am Joe McG: Hey, Matty. Hey Guido. Hey Cheri! I don't know why I'm playing horse songs.
	9:30am Matt Warwick: Cause horses rule.
	9:31am Vincent Nifigance: The Crazy Horses album is a strangely cohesive and enjoyable one. This is not the only high point.
	9:31am Mister Ed: I approve of this playlist. Whinny!
	9:31am Fine-aight: Whoa! Is this being played at double speed?
	9:32am pantz: Joe, your show has been named the best radio broadcast between the hours of 9 am and 12 pm EST! Oh, wait. I read the wrong card. It's Matt Warwick. Sorry.
	9:33am Brendan: Chompin at the bit to see where this set goes
	9:33am Joe McG: @Brendan: I think it's going to end up with the Ultimate Horse Song.
	9:36am luh3417: It's late here in Sydney with all the tired horses
	9:36am Joe McG: @luh: Ah, this is a great late night song, when you don't want to talk about anything.
	9:37am Brendan: @Joe sounds good, I'm along for the ride.

	👻 9:42am Brian in UK: I still use the line 'like a mule going up a ladder'.
	👻 9:43am Ken From Hyde Park: Wouldn't Eohippus make a great band name?
	9:45am Fine-aight: Nahh, or nay? (nee neigh)
	9:45am annie: i am SO glad you didn't do that mardi gras set, OZ always overplays it, ad nauseum.
	9:49am Ike: @Pantz@9:32, ha ha ha ha ha ha, I was wondering when there'd be the first joke about this. That didn't take long!
	9:51am Joe McG: Ha ha ha, nay to the neigh.
	9:52am jt: Joe, As we all know, there is a reggae song for every topic, & on Sunday your compatriot , Jeff Sarge played a song about 7 inch records and how "everyone should try and play one just once ..sure MP-3's are great but 45 rpm records " are a very special thing etc. Great song . just thought I would let you know.
	9:54am Joe McG: @jt: I was listening to some of Jeffrey yesterday and I missed that one. Do you recall the artist?
	9:54am βrian: The lakes are still frozen, and the skies are blue over the Isthmus.
	9:58am jt: Didn't catch the name of the band. It was towards the end of the show last 28 min I would say approx. 11: 45AM ? Kind of amazing.
	10:00am Joe McG: Thanks, jt!
	10:01am northguineahills: Suite, a new Tinariwen!
	10:02am βrian: The pedia says Tinariwen formed in 1979.
	👻 10:03am Hughie Considine: Isthmus be our lucky day!
	10:04am annie: @ βrian: isthmus be your lucky day?
	10:04am annie: oh damn, someone beat me to it.
	10:06am βrian: A narrow strip of land with luck on either side. That works.
	10:13am northguineahills: Digging this Mind Over Mirrors, new to me!
	10:14am River: Does anyone know of any queercore programs or specials on WFMU/in the archive? I'm crying out to find good stuff at the moment.
	10:16am Joe McG: @River: You might try some of the punkier programs of the past, like Cherry Blossom Clinic or Pat Duncan.
	10:19am βrian: Feeling tipsy ...
	10:19am River: @Joe McG Thanks, I'll check them out! This station is the best. :)
	10:20am northguineahills: There's always a lot of queercore represented on various shows, but I can't remember offhand a whole show devoted to the topic.
	10:22am JakeGould: Is there a Hawaiian comp in the new bin? Not complaining! Keep playing!
	10:23am McGreivey: hey, I love this swingin' Hawaiian jazzy thing.
	10:24am northguineahills: Actually, w/in the last year, It might have been Kurt, did an hour of JD Samson, Matmos, and Dj Sprinkles (Terre Thaemelitz) related projects. Couldn't tell you when.
	10:28am herb.nyc: queercore: Spook School is kinda sorta like that, and Faye has played them, and they've played on her show. in fact, yest, she played an offshoot band of them. them'z a real cool band; i've seen them twice.
	10:28am Brendan: That set was transportive. i.e I'm at work but Ive checked out to the tropics courtesy of Air Joe.
	10:30am herb.nyc: (and for something completely different, wnyc had a segment on bumbleebees learning to move a ball & get a food reward. wfmu has us trained, marathon-wise, with prizes and premiums. anyway, link here: www.sciencemag.org... )
	10:31am Sem Chumbo: Remember? Lost my hearing to this one.
	10:31am sinner: mean. lean, obscene, rarely seen Mis-sipy Queen.
	10:31am Chapelhillian: I used the intro as my ringtone for years
	👻 10:33am Hughie Considine: Hello Chapelhillian! I am one too.
	10:34am pantz: This is like the disco 9 to 5.
	10:35am River: @herb.nyc Cool, I'll check them out. :)
	10:35am dgg: Amazing
	10:35am Brendan: Fomentingly good tune
	10:37am pantz: Oh yeah! Going Old School, Joe. Where are my parachute pants?
	10:38am Joe McG: @pantz: Ha ha ha! Right next to the Kangol hat in the closet where you left them.
	10:39am Brendan: SubWoof Moo time!
	10:40am V Priceless: Yeah! Jimmy Castor Bunch!!
	10:41am JakeGould: 'Twas beauty killed the beast!
	10:42am dgg: The Disco People's Republic of Bay Ridge
	10:43am Chapelhillian: We almost have a quorum for a Chapel Hill WFMU Meetup
	10:43am River: @northguineahills Ah, that sounds definitely like one to search for though. Thanks!
	10:44am Brendan: King Kong , you know the name of ...King Kong you know the fame of ...https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jXMmd2e2FeA
	10:45am JakeGould: @ddg: That disco King King song has Bay Ridge roots? I'm only seeing flyers for a Hot Tuna gig in Bay Ridge nowadays.
	10:45am herb.nyc: it was cool to hear WFMU mentioned on WNYC. I sent this to wfmu station mgr ken sat night, FYI: jim derogatis wnyc Sound Opinion cited WFMU 4' ago, re RStevMoore. And about 10' into show, they mention song(? lyric) "give the drummer some".
	10:47am Joe McG: @Jake: Wow, Hot Tuna in Bay Ridge. Don't miss that one, Jake.
	10:47am pantz: Oh I had such a crush on Martha Davis.
	10:48am ChrisB.: Saw The Motels at Hurrah, late '79.
	10:49am Joe McG: @ChrisB: How were they?
	10:50am ChrisB.: Great! "Dressing Up," off the 1st album, was particularly memorable.
	10:50am dgg: @jake haha idk I was talking about the "changin jobs" song. Felt very liberating in a 1970s sort of way
	10:51am βrian: Prince talks about trepanation.
	10:51am JakeGould: @JoeMcG: Promoted in Bay Ridge as a benefit for a local kid's charity, but they will be playing the Grand Prospect Hall on April 14th. Then St. George on Staten Island on April 15th.
	10:52am dgg: like in a "offshoot tendency of the SDS" sort of way.
	10:53am JakeGould: @DGG: Ahhh... Changjng jobs. Like the moment Tony Manero realizes he doesn't want to work in the paint store anymore.
	10:53am dgg: lol exactly! Why would you. When you can dance like tony. Why would you.
	10:58am pantz: You're creeping me out, Paul.
	👻 11:10am Brian in UK: Aliens Ate my Buick.
	11:11am βrian: I still haven't gotten the key to her ferrari!
	👻 11:11am Hughie Considine: Dolby's autobiography, The Speed of Sound, was a great read. The man knows how to tell a story, and he's led some interesting lives.
	11:15am Joe McG: Thanks for the tip, Hughie, I didn't know he wrote one.
	11:22am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...thinking now it's time to get hip to the details of this Vocoder thing...possibly not the most specific term - limit it to this effect. Passing voice thru - it's required that it be an 80s looking headset mic perhaps - thru a synth or some circuitry...
	11:23am trouble: listening in atlanta!!
	11:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: wigkey: en.wikipedia.org... ...So you're encoding the voice w/ instrument data...maybe...
	11:24am Joe McG: Wow, Trouble, what are you up to down there?
	11:33am βrian: I saw a promo for a walking tour of Atlanta drive-through liquor stores. But nah ...
	11:33am ?: Re: the song Jeff Sarge played (upthread @9:52), it's Macka B, "Never Played a 45": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HucOdgey9NE
	11:34am Dean: ^Me.
	11:34am Joe McG: Many thanks, Dean!
	11:37am dgg: great song.
	11:38am Bobby: Nice. Those Numero Group comps are so good.
	11:38am trouble: heading home today. saw Lonnie Holley on saturday, and his great artwotk.
	11:38am Brendan: I hope songs that end with gongs make a comeback
	11:39am Cooh John: You are good man, Joe. Heard this a few weeks ago on WFMU. It's in my 45 collection now.
	11:39am northguineahills: @Dean: That Macka B is consistently on my playlists I make for bars and restaurants. Ironically, I don't have it on vinyl.
	11:40am Joe McG: @Cooh John: Thanks, John. Sometimes I wonder! @Trouble: So cool! @Brendan: I agree!
	11:41am Dean: Tsk, tsk, @northguineahills!
	11:42am Carmichael: Heya Joe and listeners. Very much behind the 8 ball already this morning ...
	11:42am βrian: No connubial bedroom is complete without a gong.
	11:44am pantz: @Brian I'd be too afraid of getting gonged in the middle of the act.
	11:45am johnk77: Roger Troutman and Zapp played NYC in 1995, at S.O.B.'s. Great show, very professional. Tragic story later:<
	11:47am Joe McG: @johnk77: Yes, very sad end to that tale.
	11:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @pantz: Yes - but if all goes well - you get a diamond star hubcap for a halo. According to Marc Bolan, who knew...
	11:50am pantz: @Rev I can't argue with that logic.
	👻 11:50am Brian in UK: This time next week........
	11:51am Joe McG: Sorry for the re-cue, but Joe Belock owns "What a Way to Die."
	11:55am Brendan: We now enter the black leather portion of the show
	11:55am Joe McG: Thanks for listening, everyone! Next week back with my special co-host Michele from "Shut UP Weirdo"! Hope you'll tune in and help us out.
	11:56am pantz: Great show, Joe! Hear ya next week with my wallet at the ready.
	11:58am Brendan: Hurt me whip me make me write checks to FMU next week
	11:59am dgg: I took all the acid and now the temptations are already over?
	11:59am annie: mised the last half hour, had to haul a sewing machine out to the driveway for the repair-fairy to pick up.
	1:58pm Lise: help! what was the song that was playing this morning around 9-9:30 that went like, "horses horses horses" "a horses nay is a horses yes" and something about throwing a bridal or reins around a woman???
	2:38pm Joe McG: Hey Lise--I don't know if you'll read this, but it was the second song by Earl Oliver's Jazz Babies. I tried to make up for the sentiments of that song with Annette Peacock's "Pony," which flips the script.
	3:47pm Lise: thanks joe but where can i find the version with lyrics? ive actually been scouring the internet on and off since i heard it this morning
	5:24pm Joe McG: I don't know. It's an obscure old song so it's likely that the lyrics have never been transcribed.

(he pulled off the Beatles "And Your Bird Can Sing", if my memory serves me well).

	9:52am jt: Joe, As we all know, there is a reggae song for every topic, & on Sunday your compatriot , Jeff Sarge played a song about 7 inch records and how "everyone should try and play one just once ..sure MP-3's are great but 45 rpm records " are a very special thing etc. Great song . just thought I would let you know.
	9:54am Joe McG: @jt: I was listening to some of Jeffrey yesterday and I missed that one. Do you recall the artist?
	9:54am βrian: The lakes are still frozen, and the skies are blue over the Isthmus.
	9:58am jt: Didn't catch the name of the band. It was towards the end of the show last 28 min I would say approx. 11: 45AM ? Kind of amazing.
	10:00am Joe McG: Thanks, jt!

	10:13am northguineahills: Digging this Mind Over Mirrors, new to me!
	10:14am River: Does anyone know of any queercore programs or specials on WFMU/in the archive? I'm crying out to find good stuff at the moment.
	10:16am Joe McG: @River: You might try some of the punkier programs of the past, like Cherry Blossom Clinic or Pat Duncan.
	10:19am βrian: Feeling tipsy ...
	10:19am River: @Joe McG Thanks, I'll check them out! This station is the best. :)
	10:20am northguineahills: There's always a lot of queercore represented on various shows, but I can't remember offhand a whole show devoted to the topic.
	10:22am JakeGould: Is there a Hawaiian comp in the new bin? Not complaining! Keep playing!
	10:23am McGreivey: hey, I love this swingin' Hawaiian jazzy thing.
	10:24am northguineahills: Actually, w/in the last year, It might have been Kurt, did an hour of JD Samson, Matmos, and Dj Sprinkles (Terre Thaemelitz) related projects. Couldn't tell you when.
	10:28am herb.nyc: queercore: Spook School is kinda sorta like that, and Faye has played them, and they've played on her show. in fact, yest, she played an offshoot band of them. them'z a real cool band; i've seen them twice.
	10:28am Brendan: That set was transportive. i.e I'm at work but Ive checked out to the tropics courtesy of Air Joe.
	10:30am herb.nyc: (and for something completely different, wnyc had a segment on bumbleebees learning to move a ball & get a food reward. wfmu has us trained, marathon-wise, with prizes and premiums. anyway, link here: www.sciencemag.org... )
	10:31am Sem Chumbo: Remember? Lost my hearing to this one.
	10:31am sinner: mean. lean, obscene, rarely seen Mis-sipy Queen.
	10:31am Chapelhillian: I used the intro as my ringtone for years
	👻 10:33am Hughie Considine: Hello Chapelhillian! I am one too.
	10:34am pantz: This is like the disco 9 to 5.
	10:35am River: @herb.nyc Cool, I'll check them out. :)
	10:35am dgg: Amazing
	10:35am Brendan: Fomentingly good tune
	10:37am pantz: Oh yeah! Going Old School, Joe. Where are my parachute pants?
	10:38am Joe McG: @pantz: Ha ha ha! Right next to the Kangol hat in the closet where you left them.
	10:39am Brendan: SubWoof Moo time!
	10:40am V Priceless: Yeah! Jimmy Castor Bunch!!
	10:41am JakeGould: 'Twas beauty killed the beast!
	10:42am dgg: The Disco People's Republic of Bay Ridge
	10:43am Chapelhillian: We almost have a quorum for a Chapel Hill WFMU Meetup
	10:43am River: @northguineahills Ah, that sounds definitely like one to search for though. Thanks!
	10:44am Brendan: King Kong , you know the name of ...King Kong you know the fame of ...https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jXMmd2e2FeA
	10:45am JakeGould: @ddg: That disco King King song has Bay Ridge roots? I'm only seeing flyers for a Hot Tuna gig in Bay Ridge nowadays.
	10:45am herb.nyc: it was cool to hear WFMU mentioned on WNYC. I sent this to wfmu station mgr ken sat night, FYI: jim derogatis wnyc Sound Opinion cited WFMU 4' ago, re RStevMoore. And about 10' into show, they mention song(? lyric) "give the drummer some".
	10:47am Joe McG: @Jake: Wow, Hot Tuna in Bay Ridge. Don't miss that one, Jake.
	10:47am pantz: Oh I had such a crush on Martha Davis.
	10:48am ChrisB.: Saw The Motels at Hurrah, late '79.
	10:49am Joe McG: @ChrisB: How were they?
	10:50am ChrisB.: Great! "Dressing Up," off the 1st album, was particularly memorable.
	10:50am dgg: @jake haha idk I was talking about the "changin jobs" song. Felt very liberating in a 1970s sort of way
	10:51am βrian: Prince talks about trepanation.
	10:51am JakeGould: @JoeMcG: Promoted in Bay Ridge as a benefit for a local kid's charity, but they will be playing the Grand Prospect Hall on April 14th. Then St. George on Staten Island on April 15th.
	10:52am dgg: like in a "offshoot tendency of the SDS" sort of way.
	10:53am JakeGould: @DGG: Ahhh... Changjng jobs. Like the moment Tony Manero realizes he doesn't want to work in the paint store anymore.
	10:53am dgg: lol exactly! Why would you. When you can dance like tony. Why would you.
	10:58am pantz: You're creeping me out, Paul.
	👻 11:10am Brian in UK: Aliens Ate my Buick.
	11:11am βrian: I still haven't gotten the key to her ferrari!
	👻 11:11am Hughie Considine: Dolby's autobiography, The Speed of Sound, was a great read. The man knows how to tell a story, and he's led some interesting lives.
	11:15am Joe McG: Thanks for the tip, Hughie, I didn't know he wrote one.
	11:22am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...thinking now it's time to get hip to the details of this Vocoder thing...possibly not the most specific term - limit it to this effect. Passing voice thru - it's required that it be an 80s looking headset mic perhaps - thru a synth or some circuitry...
	11:23am trouble: listening in atlanta!!
	11:24am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: wigkey: en.wikipedia.org... ...So you're encoding the voice w/ instrument data...maybe...
	11:24am Joe McG: Wow, Trouble, what are you up to down there?
	11:33am βrian: I saw a promo for a walking tour of Atlanta drive-through liquor stores. But nah ...
	11:33am ?: Re: the song Jeff Sarge played (upthread @9:52), it's Macka B, "Never Played a 45": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HucOdgey9NE
	11:34am Dean: ^Me.
	11:34am Joe McG: Many thanks, Dean!
	11:37am dgg: great song.
	11:38am Bobby: Nice. Those Numero Group comps are so good.
	11:38am trouble: heading home today. saw Lonnie Holley on saturday, and his great artwotk.
	11:38am Brendan: I hope songs that end with gongs make a comeback
	11:39am Cooh John: You are good man, Joe. Heard this a few weeks ago on WFMU. It's in my 45 collection now.
	11:39am northguineahills: @Dean: That Macka B is consistently on my playlists I make for bars and restaurants. Ironically, I don't have it on vinyl.
	11:40am Joe McG: @Cooh John: Thanks, John. Sometimes I wonder! @Trouble: So cool! @Brendan: I agree!
	11:41am Dean: Tsk, tsk, @northguineahills!
	11:42am Carmichael: Heya Joe and listeners. Very much behind the 8 ball already this morning ...
	11:42am βrian: No connubial bedroom is complete without a gong.
	11:44am pantz: @Brian I'd be too afraid of getting gonged in the middle of the act.
	11:45am johnk77: Roger Troutman and Zapp played NYC in 1995, at S.O.B.'s. Great show, very professional. Tragic story later:<
	11:47am Joe McG: @johnk77: Yes, very sad end to that tale.
	11:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @pantz: Yes - but if all goes well - you get a diamond star hubcap for a halo. According to Marc Bolan, who knew...
	11:50am pantz: @Rev I can't argue with that logic.
	👻 11:50am Brian in UK: This time next week........
	11:51am Joe McG: Sorry for the re-cue, but Joe Belock owns "What a Way to Die."
	11:55am Brendan: We now enter the black leather portion of the show
	11:55am Joe McG: Thanks for listening, everyone! Next week back with my special co-host Michele from "Shut UP Weirdo"! Hope you'll tune in and help us out.
	11:56am pantz: Great show, Joe! Hear ya next week with my wallet at the ready.
	11:58am Brendan: Hurt me whip me make me write checks to FMU next week
	11:59am dgg: I took all the acid and now the temptations are already over?
	11:59am annie: mised the last half hour, had to haul a sewing machine out to the driveway for the repair-fairy to pick up.
	1:58pm Lise: help! what was the song that was playing this morning around 9-9:30 that went like, "horses horses horses" "a horses nay is a horses yes" and something about throwing a bridal or reins around a woman???
	2:38pm Joe McG: Hey Lise--I don't know if you'll read this, but it was the second song by Earl Oliver's Jazz Babies. I tried to make up for the sentiments of that song with Annette Peacock's "Pony," which flips the script.
	3:47pm Lise: thanks joe but where can i find the version with lyrics? ive actually been scouring the internet on and off since i heard it this morning
	5:24pm Joe McG: I don't know. It's an obscure old song so it's likely that the lyrics have never been transcribed.
