	9:35am annie: so, did we finally lose fred astaire? love the tribute!
	9:36am Michael: Lovely set Joe.
	9:37am The Oscar: Anyone ever see Ghost Story? One of Astaire's last films, and a surprisingly effectively creepy one.
	9:38am melinda: Hi Joe! I have fond memories of watching Fred Astaire movies in college.
	9:38am Itzall Ablurr: I love this era, musically, and Mr. Astair was a prince of the time. Is there a woofmoo channel with this type of programming?
	9:39am annie: heh, i asked that tongue-in-cheek. so glad his energy is still wafting about
	9:39am The Oscar: @Itzall You should check out Uncle Michael's show from last week-- all music from 1939.
	9:40am queems: daddy long legs is the worst fred astaire movie
	9:40am mb: Hey all! Good morning Joe!!
	9:40am northguineahills: Never got to Fred Astaire until I saw "Shall We Dance" when I was a sophomore undergrad.
	9:40am Ralphine: I read somewhere that George Gershwin's last words were "Fred Astaire."
	9:41am queems: adele has a voice like nails on a chalkboard
	9:41am Ralphine: The Towering Inferno is the worst Fred Astaire movie.
	9:41am Rev. Turnip Druid: FOKES.
	9:42am Rev. Turnip Druid: Egad! Missed Miss Charrise!
	9:44am Itzall Ablurr: Dear The Oscar, thank you, I will! I'm not familiar with Uncle Michael, is that the name of a weekly show or the DJ? And good morning, all- today is my dear wife's 35th anniversary of her life sentence with me, no time off for good behaviour. Looks like my mother was wrong after all.
	9:46am melinda: @Itzall Hinky Dinky Time w/Uncle Michael is on the GTDR stream Fridays at 12
	9:46am The Oscar: @Itzall Uncle Michael hosts Hinky Dinky Time, Fridays on the Give the Drummer stream :)
	9:46am Walt: @Itzall Ablurr: Link for the "Hinky Dinky Time with Uncle Michael" archives: wfmu.org...
	9:47am Itzall Ablurr: Dear melinda y The Oscar, thanks, looks like I have more musical delights to explore! And you too, Walt.
	👻 9:48am Ken From Hyde Park: Uncle Michael's show "airs" Fridays at noon on the Drummer stream, so it's not on the FM dial.
	9:50am cory: Congrats Itzall
	9:50am Itzall Ablurr: $50 American to the first person who can tell me the SPECIFIC origin of the term "landline". Wrong guesses have to bump their pledge to the station by $20. Takers? RETRACTION: Doh, I forgot about the Googles you can use. Nevermind.
	9:50am MD: Good Morning all! Fred Astaire! Just watch him dance!!! (in my mind...)
	9:50am BronwynB: morning joe and everyone!
	9:52am Itzall Ablurr: Dear cory, thank you, I am agog that the time has passed so quickly.
	9:53am bore: good morning!
	9:55am Linda Lee: @Itzall Ablurr ~ were we thinking about something other than telephone lines connected to a central hub by visible wiring?
	9:55am Linda Lee: like, who coined the phrase or something?
	9:57am Itzall Ablurr: Linda Lee, color me impressed. I believe you may have worked in the Bell System at some point, is that correct?
	9:57am Linda Lee: dear god no! i'm just over 20 years old :-D
	9:59am Devin B.: This Yuzo Iwata record covers a lot of ground
	10:01am Hillary: Really enjoying the whole show so far, Joe, especially this set. Thanks for brightening my Monday.
	10:02am Joe McG: My pleasure, Hillary! Thanks for saying hello.
	10:02am Linda Lee: seconded!
	10:06am Joe McG: Thanks, Linda Lee. :)
	10:07am Au pair Evie, Amersfoort NL: My 4 year old is loving the tunes as am I
	10:07am Davee: I cannot wait for the 10:30 singles
	10:07am Linda Lee: "when will i see you again" ~ so pretty.
	10:08am Joe McG: @Au pair Evie: Lovely! Glad you're all here with me.
	👻 10:09am Brian in UK: Hey Joe, listening and packing. Who said men cannot multitask!
	10:09am Linda Lee: .. right into 'Superstar". perfect!
	10:10am Colleen: Nice
	10:10am Roger Roger: Dang, but this is a good show!
	10:10am Davee: Oh man, great pics in music Joe, it is helping me through this boring task I have to do.
	10:10am JakeGould: Hey Joe!
	10:10am cory: this song reminds me of when i worked at kmart
	10:11am Joe McG: Wow, you guys are really spreading some sunshine today. I'll take it! :)
	10:11am Linda Lee: give some, get some, Joe! ;-)
	10:13am Joe McG: Hold onto that feeling of good will! You may need it later in the show. ;)
	10:14am Linda Lee: uh oh ..
	10:15am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Itzall-I always thought it was "Lan" line and it had to do with "local area network".
	10:17am beerios: Is the stream constantly cutting out for anyone else?
	10:17am Itzall Ablurr: Hi Wild Neil, yes that is correct. "LAN" was bastardized to "LAND" because most people either heard it wrong or just thought it meant a hard line into the home, as opposed to a wireless (I guess "not of the LAND?") network.
	10:21am Krys O.: Oh, man, Marcia Griffiths is wonderful. Haven't heard her stuff in a while.
	10:22am melinda: Wow, I guess landline doesn't really make sense if you think about it, I sort of remember LAN now that you mention it.
	10:23am beerios: or for long distance...WAN
	10:24am Itzall Ablurr: RBOC, anyone?
	10:27am βrian: What an odd name, Chip Wickham. It makes me think of plaid and manicured golf greens.
	10:28am Listener Alexandra: Top of the morning to you, Joe!
	10:30am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, JMC Gasko! Holy crud am I tired.
	10:30am Joe McG: Happy Monday to you, Alex!
	10:31am Linda Lee: LAN = computer networks, but "landline" = telephones! we don't say "landline computers". :-)
	10:32am βrian: Remember that metal group, Twisted Pair?
	10:34am Itzall Ablurr: Hah! βrian, didn't they tour with Packet & The Nodes?
	10:35am βrian: (Part of the copper sub-genre.)
	10:35am melinda: @Linda yes, I associated LAN with computers rather than phones.
	10:35am βrian: Back in the day, they toured with the Acoustic Couplers.
	10:37am melinda: Chip Wickham sounds like he should be a friend of Wink Martindale.
	10:37am johnk77: stereo stream working well here years ago i was told landline was copper wire to the end user verizon is taking those out in nyc, switching users to fios now we call on the voip line
	10:39am Anthony: The stream on the android app is struggling. Strong 4g signal. In fact the app seems to have a few features disabled
	10:40am Linda Lee: @melinda ~ look! it's Chip & Wink! :-D
	10:41am Linda Lee: that's hilarious!
	👻 10:41am Brian in UK: No relation to Chip & Pin.
	10:42am Itzall Ablurr: Arm wrestling match: Twiggy vs. Nico- winner?
	10:42am pantz: I didn't know Twiggy "sang".
	10:42am Linda Lee: Nico. She played dirty.
	👻 10:43am Hughie Considine: Now Jean Shrimpton, she could sing.
	10:43am Linda Lee: Jane Birkin sang too.
	10:44am Linda Lee: This tune was originally recorded by the trio Wink, Chip & Bob. When Bob went solo he did his own version.
	10:45am John in Bklyn: Eddie Murphy sang, too.
	10:45am Linda Lee: he wasn't a fashion model, though.
	10:45am Greg from ZONE 5: WHA? This isn't Buckner & Garcia!!
	10:46am Mark Hurst: Pac Man fever! I remember hearing this when it came out.
	10:46am Asheville Jon: hahaha pac-man fever!
	10:46am Krys O.: Cheers for the Bob Luman!
	10:46am The Oscar: I like that a group called "Today's Sounds" recorded "Pac-Man Fever" IN 1996.
	10:47am Linda Lee: that is very funny.
	10:47am Asheville Jon: i wonder if there could be an entire show (3hrs worth) of songs about video games........
	10:47am Linda Lee: hi Jon! 8 bit yes. songs about video games, probably not.
	10:47am The Oscar: Pac-Man sounds like he's drunk.
	10:47am Neil M: Can't believe how much this Buckner & Garcia cover sounds like Mistrial-era Lou Reed !!!
	10:47am JakeGould: As long as we’re talking about Buckner and Garcia, they rerecorded the whole “Pac Man Fever” album for CD release or digital release since the original record company that released the original album is retaining rights. So if you have he LP and the digital version they are two different versions of the same album recorded at different times.
	10:48am John in Bklyn: Pac Man Fever is covered under the ACA.
	10:48am JakeGould: Oh please, no chiptune show for longer than 1 hour.
	10:48am Asheville Jon: this song sounded so much more cutting edge 20 years ago
	10:48am V Priceless: KENT!!!
	10:49am Krys O.: Wow! The Klark Kent 10" got a lot of airplay back in the day.
	10:49am Greg from ZONE 5: @John: HA!
	10:49am sonnyspop: Love Klark Kent!
	10:49am Uncle Michael: I don't have this Klark Kent single. I have the 10" EP!
	10:49am John in Bklyn: Love the Klark Kent!! Theme song from I.R.S. Cutting Edge.
	👻 10:50am Hughie Considine: "Don't Care" was played a lot on the late, great WPIX in NYC. I think "Too Kool to Kalypso" is KK's finest hour.
	10:50am JFR: I was going to say this has a Police vibe...
	10:51am Joe McG: Apparently at a record company function, Stewart Copeland led around some guy, introducing him to everyone as Klark Kent. I wonder how many people believed him?
	10:51am Eric Hat: Joe. You are saving my life.
	10:52am Joe McG: @Eric: Glad to hear!!
	10:53am John in Bklyn: @Uncle Mike I have that one, too! It's shaped like a K. I was a Copeland fanatic. Rumblefish soundtrack is great.
	10:54am Eric Hat: Same! Thankyou.
	👻 10:54am Ken From Hyde Park: My college buddies introduced me at parties as Kent Dorfman, the fat, drunk and stupid guy from Animal House.
	10:56am crateslinger: Stewart Copeland makes a guest appearance on the Amazon show "The Grand Tour". Oddly, he didn't seem comfortable with the Brit audience, or maybe he's just an obnoxious person.
	10:56am Joe McG: @crateslinger: If you believe his bandmates, he's the most obnoxious one of the three.
	10:59am dfb: Gladys and the pips was racking, thank you
	10:59am Greg from ZONE 5: Has anybody ever Hoof & Mouth'd this? Seems like a McGasko special for sure.
	10:59am crateslinger: He actually comes off as pretty obnoxious. He keeps interrupting the hosts and the other guest - the drummer for Pink Floyd, whoever that is - who seems the perfect gentleman. And he was not very clever or funny. Whatever, just my impression. I only say something because he I think he embarrassed America.
	10:59am John in Bklyn: When KISS scandalized the rock world by going "disco." Gasp!!!
	10:59am zopa: Aw maaaaan! I missed the Klark Kent. Dammit!
	11:00am pantz: I was a Kadet in the Kiss Army!!!
	11:00am crateslinger: @ John in BK - and with no makeup! Personally, I was horrified.
	11:00am Joe McG: @Greg: I'll do it only if Sheila B. sings it with me!
	11:00am Greg from ZONE 5: Let's get her on the red phone!
	11:01am Joe McG: Gotta give Paul Stanley props for getting up to those high notes!
	11:02am crateslinger: Paul Stanley was a rock star.
	11:03am Krys O.: I saw Paul Stanley at Electric Lady Studios when my best friend worked there in the 80s. He was a nice fellow.
	11:03am crateslinger: Stewart Copeland's favorite drummer = Mitch Mitchell
	11:03am Uncle Michael: WHOEVER Nick freaking Mason is?!
	11:03am V Priceless: ROY!!
	11:03am dfb: wizard is roy wood, and wonderful as i remember
	11:04am JakeGould: @Krys: He’s probably the only nice guy out of the KISS armada or whatever they call themselves.
	11:04am foofs: That's an Erdington phone number.
	11:04am KP in DC: Hi there, Joe
	11:05am crateslinger: Sorry Uncle Michael. My immature punk rock ears were immune to the Floyd and I still have not done the research. Not proud. Just sayin.
	11:05am Joe McG: Has anyone called this number?
	11:05am crateslinger: Well, Nick Mason is a guest on the Amazon show "The Grand Tour", and he comes off as the perfect gentleman.
	11:06am crateslinger: Nick Mason's favorite drummer = Mitch Mitchell
	11:07am melinda: @Ken that's funny.
	11:07am Anthony: This sounds like ELOs first album.
	11:08am two tigers: that was a great set, joe!! thank you!!!!
	11:10am JakeGould: Oh, FWIW when I was in high school my girlfriend dragged me on a “special trip” to specifically pick up that Klark Kent single from Record Runner. Oh what fun!
	👻 11:11am Hughie Considine: Derrick Bostrom is a solid name for a solid drummer.
	👻 11:11am Ken From Hyde Park: @melinda - One other time, I came to meet them at a bar and they told all the women they were with that I had had an accident and there was a metal plate in my head, so don't stare at it, makes him self-conscious. So I wound up getting the perplexed stares all evening.
	11:11am The Oscar: Whoa-- would NOT have guessed that was the story behind that Pacman cover!
	11:14am JakeGould: Paper bills… whoa oh oh Touch me baby paper bills…
	👻 11:16am Brian in UK: Stewart Copeland and I were born on the same day. Never been on The Grand Tour. Favourite drummer = Doug Schulkind
	11:16am Uncle Michael: HELL yes!
	11:16am Itzall Ablurr: ulp.
	11:16am Booz: I only wish to say that I endorse this set.
	11:16am Anthony: Gator Country!
	11:16am queems: i think we need some atlanta rhythm section
	11:17am John in Bklyn: That dude always whistled in their tunes.
	11:17am melinda: @Ken nice friends!
	11:18am The Oscar: Even though I know what the song is called, I can only hear him say "Desiccated in the bushes."
	11:19am convoy_pt2: Holy cow southern rock on FMU! Ken wasnt joking the other day!!!
	11:19am steveo: Wow -- this is a musical blind spot for me. I think Molly Hatchet's cover art led me to believe their sound would be more metal than country. Interesting!
	11:19am JakeGould: I guess the Trump years will bring southern rock and prog back to WFMU.
	11:19am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I saw Kiss on the Lick It Up tour. I did not like them. Still don't. Blondie did a disco song, Heart of Glass, amongst others. They rocked!
	11:19am John in Bklyn: Molly Hatchet reminds me instantly of vomiting Rock-n-Rye on a culm bank in -15 degree weather.
	11:19am rw: People have been clamoring for southern rock?
	11:20am Joe McG: @John: I think the Van Zandts would approve.
	👻 11:21am Hughie Considine: If "Free Bird" takes the gold and "Green Grass and High Tides" the silver, maybe this gets the bronze?
	11:22am Jim H: Did not know Gators played boogie guitar!
	11:22am Mark in Toronto: Black Oak Arkansas?
	11:22am John in Bklyn: @Joe Ha! "Looks like that Yankee drunk his fill."
	11:23am SeanG: Beaverteeth! :-)
	11:23am rw: Rode my bike to the beach yesterday. Somebody named Toby Keith (I think that's it) was playing. It was a weird scene on the boardwalk, a sort of beach version of contemporary cowboy. Red white and blue bikinis and cowboy hats.
	11:24am Itzall Ablurr: Winter Bros- if The Allmans fired Gregg replaced by Randy Newman.
	11:24am johnk77: molly hatchet playing live w/commander cody, mallett bros. lake george upstate ny june 10
	11:24am Will-X: @SeanG -- you beat me to it! Bring on the Teeth!
	11:24am Joe McG: @Itzall: Ha ha ha
	11:24am rw: Not that my beach story has anything to do with anything, just this southern rock set reminded me.
	👻 11:24am Ken From Hyde Park: If Clay Pigeon wants to kick things into high gear, he can open his show with "Flirtin' With Disaster."
	11:25am John in Bklyn: You could put these lead guitar parts in any Southern Rock tune and they would fit.
	11:25am Davee: How about some BLACKFOOT?
	11:26am Andy the painter: any shredders out there?: is there a certain scale that these southern rock guitar solos are in? all so similar...is it just key?
	11:26am βrian: "Shotgun Rodder"
	11:27am Jim H: Southern Rock? How about The dBs? or Let's Active? or REM?
	11:27am melinda: @steveo same here.
	👻 11:27am Hughie Considine: Would the NRA accuse Skynyrd of being soft on gun rights because of this tune?
	11:28am Listener Alexandra: You are seriously winning Monday right now, Joe.
	👻 11:28am Hughie Considine: Pretty clearly, the genre known as Southern rock differs from rock from the South.
	11:28am John in Bklyn: Would the Meat Puppets be considered Southwestern Rock? They did a great cover of Nationwide by ZZ Top.
	11:28am rw: Got this Skynyrd cranked.
	11:28am Krys O.: @Mark in Toronto: You read my mind! Black Oak Arkansas with Jim Dandy. Ha!
	11:28am Joe McG: @JimH: I read a list of Southern Rock online that included "Fables of the Reconstruction" and that didn't seem right.
	11:28am pantz: Guy who lived down the hall from me in my college dorm played this song over and over and over and over...
	11:29am Asheville Jon: please, oh please, please please please DO NOT PLAY THE DEVIL WENT DOWN TO GEORGIA!
	11:29am Hams: big jim.
	11:29am Itzall Ablurr: VanZandt hated guns, that's why pistols 'n bullets are only the main cover art on not every one of their records.
	11:29am Anthony: Two gun songs in a row
	11:30am Andy the painter: and i’m referring to the classic bright and pretty ones. like the allman’s “pretty” songs.
	11:30am John in Bklyn: @Jim H Those groups are FROM the South, but the Southern Rockers ARE the South.
	11:31am John in Bklyn: @Anthony It's the zeitgeist.
	11:31am Joe McG: @Ashville Jon: Don't worry, you're safe!
	👻 11:31am tadpoles: I'm so ignorant of Southern Rock I thought Little Feat were from the South.
	11:31am Asheville Jon: whew, thanks Joe!
	11:32am Jim H: Thanks, John. I went to high school with the dBs. Chapel Hill was all about the boogie-ocracy when I was there. Believe me, I know.
	11:32am Spaceman One: CMT will be showing a pretty swell doc. on LS sometime soon. It pretty much ends in the swamp crash.
	11:33am Asheville Jon: although i must say that a lot of early CDB is pretty kick-butt. just not devil went down to jo-ja
	11:33am Itzall Ablurr: Little Feet; did they do that song "Short People"?!?
	11:33am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Hughie-I consider the NRA to be soft on gun rights.
	11:34am Hugh: Don't forget Fabio's favorite! The Allman Brothers! I'm also partial to Blackfoot.
	11:34am John in Bklyn: Four songs in and this is the first harmonica solo??
	11:34am Michael: Just pulled out my WFMU Skynyrd Flaming Plane Pen to use.
	👻 11:35am Hughie Considine: @Jim H - I'm in Chapel Hill now. Funny to see legendary figures from my record collection like Peter Holsapple and Mac McCaughan at places like Trader Joe's.
	11:35am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Oh, if you are going to play harmonica, might I suggest you be the first WFMU DJ to play some Blues Traveler?
	11:36am Anthony: So far a song about the best state in the Deep South, two songs related to guns and one moonshine song. It gives me great pleasure that WFMU played the sounds of Dixie in New York City
	👻 11:36am Hughie Considine: @Wild Neil - wow, you really love guns!
	11:36am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life. Robert A. Heinlein
	11:37am John in Bklyn: @Jim H Boogie-ocracy! Ha!
	11:38am Joe McG: @michael: Ha ha ha! @John: It definitely needed reacting against and I'm glad they did it.
	11:38am βrian: Armed checkpoints give you the opportunity to explain yourself several times a day.
	11:39am The Oscar: As a record store veteran, few bands were as consistently misfiled by new employees than the Marshall Tucker Band.
	11:40am Joe McG: Poll: High Tides or no High Tides? I have the Outlaws' first LP with me, but I can play something else from it instead.
	11:41am Itzall Ablurr: Such a LOOOOOONG song. Please another, Mr. Joe.
	11:41am rw: High Tides is pretty long.
	11:41am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @The Oscar-The Marshall Tucker Band is not country rock then?
	👻 11:42am Hughie Considine: It would be interesting to test out the proposition that an armed society is a polite society. Everyone would have to have a weapon though, and that could be cumbersome logistically.
	11:42am Jim H: Hughie: When you say "interesting"...
	11:43am rw: Wild Neil, I believe he means Marshall Tucker was often filed under T for Tucker, but it could be something else.
	11:43am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Hughie-I have this impression gleaned from watching westerns that it might just be true. But then again, that is just Hollywood, and not real life. Let me get back to you on that. I have heard that countries such as Switzerland have the lowest murder rates with guns....
	11:43am Stevel: Love High Tides. Something else would be good.
	👻 11:43am Hughie Considine: I mean that it's an untenable.
	11:44am Carmichael: Heya Joe and good ol' boys and girls.
	11:44am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: and Switzerland compels all males to own guns by law.
	👻 11:44am tadpoles: Strangely enough this MTB has me yearning for Grand Funk Railroad. I guess I'm a Northern Rock kind of guy.
	11:45am The Oscar: @rw @Neil Yeah, that's what I mean-- it took me a long time to wrap my head around the fact that "Marshall Tucker" was not a person.
	11:45am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: OK, I am done, sorry to climb up on my soap box.
	👻 11:45am Hughie Considine: In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace – and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.
	11:45am Itzall Ablurr: Wild Neil, I finally saw the 1967 Spaghetti Western "Death Rides A Horse" this weekend and let me tell you, most of those dudes were NOT very polite. Still, it was only a movie and I highly recommend it.
	11:46am Joe McG: OK, cool, no "High Tides." I didn't really want to play it, so I'm glad you agree. Last time I played it I played the 20-minute live version.
	11:47am John in Bklyn: @Joe Yes! That was great time for "college radio" bands. FULL DISCLOSURE: I saw The Outlaws at the Kingston Armory in '79 or '80 ??
	11:47am βrian: Thanks for the music, Joe.
	11:48am queems: my dad always complains that that is the only outlaws song anyone ever plays

	11:52am pantz: We all did things in the 70's we aren't proud of.

	11:55am Ralphine: I used to usher at concerts, and there was WAY more pot smoking at a Marshall Tucker show than at any other show I ever worked.
	11:55am Itzall Ablurr: Wild Neil, I can't recommend it enough if you're a fan of the genre. I thought Clint was the King of Spaghetti, but damn that Lee Van Cleef was one bad MF. I need to buy the DVD now.
	11:55am northguineahills: But you can license your firearm w/ a fee after your military service in Suisse. (only rifles)
	11:55am Krys O.: I LOVE Barefoot Jerry and Area Code 615.
	11:56am Carmichael: Speaking of long songs, wtf was Creamo Coyl doing last night?!?
	11:56am John in Bklyn: No wonder Elijah never made it in the Southern Rock world; phase shifter?? C'mon, man!
	11:56am crateslinger: If Lyrnyrd Skynyrd were a band formed today, they would play Black Metal, or maybe Death Metal.
	👻 11:56am 12539: Thanks, Joe.
	11:56am Michael 98145: thanks, Joe McG. that was fun.

	11:57am John in Bklyn: Wow, this was from '75? Jeez. Fun show, Joe!
	👻 11:58am Hughie Considine: This Outlaws tune is one of the finest pop moments in the Southern Rock canon, methinks. The guitar solo sounds almost like he's overexcited.
	11:58am crateslinger: army of guitars
	11:58am rw: Thanks JMcG!
	11:58am Allison: Thanks Joe, great show! Spent 4 years living in Savannah, brought back some good memories.

	9:50am cory: Congrats Itzall
	9:50am Itzall Ablurr: $50 American to the first person who can tell me the SPECIFIC origin of the term "landline". Wrong guesses have to bump their pledge to the station by $20. Takers? RETRACTION: Doh, I forgot about the Googles you can use. Nevermind.

	9:55am Linda Lee: like, who coined the phrase or something?
	9:57am Itzall Ablurr: Linda Lee, color me impressed. I believe you may have worked in the Bell System at some point, is that correct?

	10:10am cory: this song reminds me of when i worked at kmart
	10:11am Joe McG: Wow, you guys are really spreading some sunshine today. I'll take it! :)
	10:11am Linda Lee: give some, get some, Joe! ;-)
	10:13am Joe McG: Hold onto that feeling of good will! You may need it later in the show. ;)
	10:14am Linda Lee: uh oh ..
	10:15am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Itzall-I always thought it was "Lan" line and it had to do with "local area network".
	10:17am beerios: Is the stream constantly cutting out for anyone else?
	10:17am Itzall Ablurr: Hi Wild Neil, yes that is correct. "LAN" was bastardized to "LAND" because most people either heard it wrong or just thought it meant a hard line into the home, as opposed to a wireless (I guess "not of the LAND?") network.
	10:21am Krys O.: Oh, man, Marcia Griffiths is wonderful. Haven't heard her stuff in a while.
	10:22am melinda: Wow, I guess landline doesn't really make sense if you think about it, I sort of remember LAN now that you mention it.
	10:23am beerios: or for long distance...WAN
	10:24am Itzall Ablurr: RBOC, anyone?
	10:27am βrian: What an odd name, Chip Wickham. It makes me think of plaid and manicured golf greens.
	10:28am Listener Alexandra: Top of the morning to you, Joe!
	10:30am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, JMC Gasko! Holy crud am I tired.
	10:30am Joe McG: Happy Monday to you, Alex!
	10:31am Linda Lee: LAN = computer networks, but "landline" = telephones! we don't say "landline computers". :-)
	10:32am βrian: Remember that metal group, Twisted Pair?
	10:34am Itzall Ablurr: Hah! βrian, didn't they tour with Packet & The Nodes?
	10:35am βrian: (Part of the copper sub-genre.)
	10:35am melinda: @Linda yes, I associated LAN with computers rather than phones.
	10:35am βrian: Back in the day, they toured with the Acoustic Couplers.
	10:37am melinda: Chip Wickham sounds like he should be a friend of Wink Martindale.
	10:37am johnk77: stereo stream working well here years ago i was told landline was copper wire to the end user verizon is taking those out in nyc, switching users to fios now we call on the voip line
	10:39am Anthony: The stream on the android app is struggling. Strong 4g signal. In fact the app seems to have a few features disabled
	10:40am Linda Lee: @melinda ~ look! it's Chip & Wink! :-D
	10:41am Linda Lee: that's hilarious!
	👻 10:41am Brian in UK: No relation to Chip & Pin.
	10:42am Itzall Ablurr: Arm wrestling match: Twiggy vs. Nico- winner?
	10:42am pantz: I didn't know Twiggy "sang".
	10:42am Linda Lee: Nico. She played dirty.
	👻 10:43am Hughie Considine: Now Jean Shrimpton, she could sing.
	10:43am Linda Lee: Jane Birkin sang too.
	10:44am Linda Lee: This tune was originally recorded by the trio Wink, Chip & Bob. When Bob went solo he did his own version.
	10:45am John in Bklyn: Eddie Murphy sang, too.
	10:45am Linda Lee: he wasn't a fashion model, though.
	10:45am Greg from ZONE 5: WHA? This isn't Buckner & Garcia!!
	10:46am Mark Hurst: Pac Man fever! I remember hearing this when it came out.
	10:46am Asheville Jon: hahaha pac-man fever!
	10:46am Krys O.: Cheers for the Bob Luman!
	10:46am The Oscar: I like that a group called "Today's Sounds" recorded "Pac-Man Fever" IN 1996.
	10:47am Linda Lee: that is very funny.
	10:47am Asheville Jon: i wonder if there could be an entire show (3hrs worth) of songs about video games........
	10:47am Linda Lee: hi Jon! 8 bit yes. songs about video games, probably not.
	10:47am The Oscar: Pac-Man sounds like he's drunk.
	10:47am Neil M: Can't believe how much this Buckner & Garcia cover sounds like Mistrial-era Lou Reed !!!
	10:47am JakeGould: As long as we’re talking about Buckner and Garcia, they rerecorded the whole “Pac Man Fever” album for CD release or digital release since the original record company that released the original album is retaining rights. So if you have he LP and the digital version they are two different versions of the same album recorded at different times.
	10:48am John in Bklyn: Pac Man Fever is covered under the ACA.
	10:48am JakeGould: Oh please, no chiptune show for longer than 1 hour.
	10:48am Asheville Jon: this song sounded so much more cutting edge 20 years ago
	10:48am V Priceless: KENT!!!
	10:49am Krys O.: Wow! The Klark Kent 10" got a lot of airplay back in the day.
	10:49am Greg from ZONE 5: @John: HA!
	10:49am sonnyspop: Love Klark Kent!
	10:49am Uncle Michael: I don't have this Klark Kent single. I have the 10" EP!
	10:49am John in Bklyn: Love the Klark Kent!! Theme song from I.R.S. Cutting Edge.
	👻 10:50am Hughie Considine: "Don't Care" was played a lot on the late, great WPIX in NYC. I think "Too Kool to Kalypso" is KK's finest hour.
	10:50am JFR: I was going to say this has a Police vibe...
	10:51am Joe McG: Apparently at a record company function, Stewart Copeland led around some guy, introducing him to everyone as Klark Kent. I wonder how many people believed him?
	10:51am Eric Hat: Joe. You are saving my life.
	10:52am Joe McG: @Eric: Glad to hear!!
	10:53am John in Bklyn: @Uncle Mike I have that one, too! It's shaped like a K. I was a Copeland fanatic. Rumblefish soundtrack is great.
	10:54am Eric Hat: Same! Thankyou.
	👻 10:54am Ken From Hyde Park: My college buddies introduced me at parties as Kent Dorfman, the fat, drunk and stupid guy from Animal House.
	10:56am crateslinger: Stewart Copeland makes a guest appearance on the Amazon show "The Grand Tour". Oddly, he didn't seem comfortable with the Brit audience, or maybe he's just an obnoxious person.
	10:56am Joe McG: @crateslinger: If you believe his bandmates, he's the most obnoxious one of the three.
	10:59am dfb: Gladys and the pips was racking, thank you
	10:59am Greg from ZONE 5: Has anybody ever Hoof & Mouth'd this? Seems like a McGasko special for sure.
	10:59am crateslinger: He actually comes off as pretty obnoxious. He keeps interrupting the hosts and the other guest - the drummer for Pink Floyd, whoever that is - who seems the perfect gentleman. And he was not very clever or funny. Whatever, just my impression. I only say something because he I think he embarrassed America.
	10:59am John in Bklyn: When KISS scandalized the rock world by going "disco." Gasp!!!
	10:59am zopa: Aw maaaaan! I missed the Klark Kent. Dammit!
	11:00am pantz: I was a Kadet in the Kiss Army!!!
	11:00am crateslinger: @ John in BK - and with no makeup! Personally, I was horrified.
	11:00am Joe McG: @Greg: I'll do it only if Sheila B. sings it with me!
	11:00am Greg from ZONE 5: Let's get her on the red phone!
	11:01am Joe McG: Gotta give Paul Stanley props for getting up to those high notes!
	11:02am crateslinger: Paul Stanley was a rock star.
	11:03am Krys O.: I saw Paul Stanley at Electric Lady Studios when my best friend worked there in the 80s. He was a nice fellow.
	11:03am crateslinger: Stewart Copeland's favorite drummer = Mitch Mitchell
	11:03am Uncle Michael: WHOEVER Nick freaking Mason is?!
	11:03am V Priceless: ROY!!
	11:03am dfb: wizard is roy wood, and wonderful as i remember
	11:04am JakeGould: @Krys: He’s probably the only nice guy out of the KISS armada or whatever they call themselves.
	11:04am foofs: That's an Erdington phone number.
	11:04am KP in DC: Hi there, Joe
	11:05am crateslinger: Sorry Uncle Michael. My immature punk rock ears were immune to the Floyd and I still have not done the research. Not proud. Just sayin.
	11:05am Joe McG: Has anyone called this number?
	11:05am crateslinger: Well, Nick Mason is a guest on the Amazon show "The Grand Tour", and he comes off as the perfect gentleman.
	11:06am crateslinger: Nick Mason's favorite drummer = Mitch Mitchell
	11:07am melinda: @Ken that's funny.
	11:07am Anthony: This sounds like ELOs first album.
	11:08am two tigers: that was a great set, joe!! thank you!!!!
	11:10am JakeGould: Oh, FWIW when I was in high school my girlfriend dragged me on a “special trip” to specifically pick up that Klark Kent single from Record Runner. Oh what fun!
	👻 11:11am Hughie Considine: Derrick Bostrom is a solid name for a solid drummer.
	👻 11:11am Ken From Hyde Park: @melinda - One other time, I came to meet them at a bar and they told all the women they were with that I had had an accident and there was a metal plate in my head, so don't stare at it, makes him self-conscious. So I wound up getting the perplexed stares all evening.
	11:11am The Oscar: Whoa-- would NOT have guessed that was the story behind that Pacman cover!
	11:14am JakeGould: Paper bills… whoa oh oh Touch me baby paper bills…
	👻 11:16am Brian in UK: Stewart Copeland and I were born on the same day. Never been on The Grand Tour. Favourite drummer = Doug Schulkind
	11:16am Uncle Michael: HELL yes!
	11:16am Itzall Ablurr: ulp.
	11:16am Booz: I only wish to say that I endorse this set.
	11:16am Anthony: Gator Country!
	11:16am queems: i think we need some atlanta rhythm section
	11:17am John in Bklyn: That dude always whistled in their tunes.
	11:17am melinda: @Ken nice friends!
	11:18am The Oscar: Even though I know what the song is called, I can only hear him say "Desiccated in the bushes."
	11:19am convoy_pt2: Holy cow southern rock on FMU! Ken wasnt joking the other day!!!
	11:19am steveo: Wow -- this is a musical blind spot for me. I think Molly Hatchet's cover art led me to believe their sound would be more metal than country. Interesting!
	11:19am JakeGould: I guess the Trump years will bring southern rock and prog back to WFMU.
	11:19am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I saw Kiss on the Lick It Up tour. I did not like them. Still don't. Blondie did a disco song, Heart of Glass, amongst others. They rocked!
	11:19am John in Bklyn: Molly Hatchet reminds me instantly of vomiting Rock-n-Rye on a culm bank in -15 degree weather.
	11:19am rw: People have been clamoring for southern rock?
	11:20am Joe McG: @John: I think the Van Zandts would approve.
	👻 11:21am Hughie Considine: If "Free Bird" takes the gold and "Green Grass and High Tides" the silver, maybe this gets the bronze?
	11:22am Jim H: Did not know Gators played boogie guitar!
	11:22am Mark in Toronto: Black Oak Arkansas?
	11:22am John in Bklyn: @Joe Ha! "Looks like that Yankee drunk his fill."
	11:23am SeanG: Beaverteeth! :-)
	11:23am rw: Rode my bike to the beach yesterday. Somebody named Toby Keith (I think that's it) was playing. It was a weird scene on the boardwalk, a sort of beach version of contemporary cowboy. Red white and blue bikinis and cowboy hats.
	11:24am Itzall Ablurr: Winter Bros- if The Allmans fired Gregg replaced by Randy Newman.
	11:24am johnk77: molly hatchet playing live w/commander cody, mallett bros. lake george upstate ny june 10
	11:24am Will-X: @SeanG -- you beat me to it! Bring on the Teeth!
	11:24am Joe McG: @Itzall: Ha ha ha
	11:24am rw: Not that my beach story has anything to do with anything, just this southern rock set reminded me.
	👻 11:24am Ken From Hyde Park: If Clay Pigeon wants to kick things into high gear, he can open his show with "Flirtin' With Disaster."
	11:25am John in Bklyn: You could put these lead guitar parts in any Southern Rock tune and they would fit.
	11:25am Davee: How about some BLACKFOOT?
	11:26am Andy the painter: any shredders out there?: is there a certain scale that these southern rock guitar solos are in? all so similar...is it just key?
	11:26am βrian: "Shotgun Rodder"
	11:27am Jim H: Southern Rock? How about The dBs? or Let's Active? or REM?
	11:27am melinda: @steveo same here.
	👻 11:27am Hughie Considine: Would the NRA accuse Skynyrd of being soft on gun rights because of this tune?
	11:28am Listener Alexandra: You are seriously winning Monday right now, Joe.
	👻 11:28am Hughie Considine: Pretty clearly, the genre known as Southern rock differs from rock from the South.
	11:28am John in Bklyn: Would the Meat Puppets be considered Southwestern Rock? They did a great cover of Nationwide by ZZ Top.
	11:28am rw: Got this Skynyrd cranked.
	11:28am Krys O.: @Mark in Toronto: You read my mind! Black Oak Arkansas with Jim Dandy. Ha!
	11:28am Joe McG: @JimH: I read a list of Southern Rock online that included "Fables of the Reconstruction" and that didn't seem right.
	11:28am pantz: Guy who lived down the hall from me in my college dorm played this song over and over and over and over...
	11:29am Asheville Jon: please, oh please, please please please DO NOT PLAY THE DEVIL WENT DOWN TO GEORGIA!
	11:29am Hams: big jim.
	11:29am Itzall Ablurr: VanZandt hated guns, that's why pistols 'n bullets are only the main cover art on not every one of their records.
	11:29am Anthony: Two gun songs in a row
	11:30am Andy the painter: and i’m referring to the classic bright and pretty ones. like the allman’s “pretty” songs.
	11:30am John in Bklyn: @Jim H Those groups are FROM the South, but the Southern Rockers ARE the South.
	11:31am John in Bklyn: @Anthony It's the zeitgeist.
	11:31am Joe McG: @Ashville Jon: Don't worry, you're safe!
	👻 11:31am tadpoles: I'm so ignorant of Southern Rock I thought Little Feat were from the South.
	11:31am Asheville Jon: whew, thanks Joe!
	11:32am Jim H: Thanks, John. I went to high school with the dBs. Chapel Hill was all about the boogie-ocracy when I was there. Believe me, I know.
	11:32am Spaceman One: CMT will be showing a pretty swell doc. on LS sometime soon. It pretty much ends in the swamp crash.
	11:33am Asheville Jon: although i must say that a lot of early CDB is pretty kick-butt. just not devil went down to jo-ja
	11:33am Itzall Ablurr: Little Feet; did they do that song "Short People"?!?
	11:33am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Hughie-I consider the NRA to be soft on gun rights.
	11:34am Hugh: Don't forget Fabio's favorite! The Allman Brothers! I'm also partial to Blackfoot.
	11:34am John in Bklyn: Four songs in and this is the first harmonica solo??
	11:34am Michael: Just pulled out my WFMU Skynyrd Flaming Plane Pen to use.
	👻 11:35am Hughie Considine: @Jim H - I'm in Chapel Hill now. Funny to see legendary figures from my record collection like Peter Holsapple and Mac McCaughan at places like Trader Joe's.
	11:35am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Oh, if you are going to play harmonica, might I suggest you be the first WFMU DJ to play some Blues Traveler?
	11:36am Anthony: So far a song about the best state in the Deep South, two songs related to guns and one moonshine song. It gives me great pleasure that WFMU played the sounds of Dixie in New York City
	👻 11:36am Hughie Considine: @Wild Neil - wow, you really love guns!
	11:36am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life. Robert A. Heinlein
	11:37am John in Bklyn: @Jim H Boogie-ocracy! Ha!
	11:38am Joe McG: @michael: Ha ha ha! @John: It definitely needed reacting against and I'm glad they did it.
	11:38am βrian: Armed checkpoints give you the opportunity to explain yourself several times a day.
	11:39am The Oscar: As a record store veteran, few bands were as consistently misfiled by new employees than the Marshall Tucker Band.
	11:40am Joe McG: Poll: High Tides or no High Tides? I have the Outlaws' first LP with me, but I can play something else from it instead.
	11:41am Itzall Ablurr: Such a LOOOOOONG song. Please another, Mr. Joe.
	11:41am rw: High Tides is pretty long.
	11:41am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @The Oscar-The Marshall Tucker Band is not country rock then?
	👻 11:42am Hughie Considine: It would be interesting to test out the proposition that an armed society is a polite society. Everyone would have to have a weapon though, and that could be cumbersome logistically.
	11:42am Jim H: Hughie: When you say "interesting"...
	11:43am rw: Wild Neil, I believe he means Marshall Tucker was often filed under T for Tucker, but it could be something else.
	11:43am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Hughie-I have this impression gleaned from watching westerns that it might just be true. But then again, that is just Hollywood, and not real life. Let me get back to you on that. I have heard that countries such as Switzerland have the lowest murder rates with guns....
	11:43am Stevel: Love High Tides. Something else would be good.
	👻 11:43am Hughie Considine: I mean that it's an untenable.
	11:44am Carmichael: Heya Joe and good ol' boys and girls.
	11:44am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: and Switzerland compels all males to own guns by law.
	👻 11:44am tadpoles: Strangely enough this MTB has me yearning for Grand Funk Railroad. I guess I'm a Northern Rock kind of guy.
	11:45am The Oscar: @rw @Neil Yeah, that's what I mean-- it took me a long time to wrap my head around the fact that "Marshall Tucker" was not a person.
	11:45am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: OK, I am done, sorry to climb up on my soap box.
	👻 11:45am Hughie Considine: In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace – and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.
	11:45am Itzall Ablurr: Wild Neil, I finally saw the 1967 Spaghetti Western "Death Rides A Horse" this weekend and let me tell you, most of those dudes were NOT very polite. Still, it was only a movie and I highly recommend it.
	11:46am Joe McG: OK, cool, no "High Tides." I didn't really want to play it, so I'm glad you agree. Last time I played it I played the 20-minute live version.
	11:47am John in Bklyn: @Joe Yes! That was great time for "college radio" bands. FULL DISCLOSURE: I saw The Outlaws at the Kingston Armory in '79 or '80 ??
	11:47am βrian: Thanks for the music, Joe.
	11:48am queems: my dad always complains that that is the only outlaws song anyone ever plays
	👻 11:48am Hughie Considine: Great set, Joe -- and wow, a rare #39 song!
	11:49am MattZ: This is fun
	11:49am Sem near Oxford UK: Greets, Joe, McGaskoes, and those caught in traffic betwixt there and here.
	11:51am johnk77: great show joe
	11:51am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Itzallablurr-Death Rides a Horse sounds EPIC!
	11:51am ChrisB.: I have seen THREE of these bands, two more than once. I'm having some trouble with that right now.
	11:52am pantz: We all did things in the 70's we aren't proud of.
	11:52am northguineahills: That was a rockin' Charlie Daniels' number (been busy at work all morning. Graci, Joe!
	11:53am Maggie B.: Switzerland does not compel all males to own guns. factmyth.com...
	11:53am Carmichael: I saw Edgar and Jonny Winter separately, and also Marshall Tucker. Those were different times back then ...
	11:54am Krys O.: @Hughie Harry Lime's speech from The Third Man!
	11:54am johnk77: i met edgar back in the day he was very cool
	11:55am Ralphine: I used to usher at concerts, and there was WAY more pot smoking at a Marshall Tucker show than at any other show I ever worked.
	11:55am Itzall Ablurr: Wild Neil, I can't recommend it enough if you're a fan of the genre. I thought Clint was the King of Spaghetti, but damn that Lee Van Cleef was one bad MF. I need to buy the DVD now.
	11:55am northguineahills: But you can license your firearm w/ a fee after your military service in Suisse. (only rifles)
	11:55am Krys O.: I LOVE Barefoot Jerry and Area Code 615.
	11:56am Carmichael: Speaking of long songs, wtf was Creamo Coyl doing last night?!?
	11:56am John in Bklyn: No wonder Elijah never made it in the Southern Rock world; phase shifter?? C'mon, man!
	11:56am crateslinger: If Lyrnyrd Skynyrd were a band formed today, they would play Black Metal, or maybe Death Metal.
	👻 11:56am 12539: Thanks, Joe.
	11:56am Michael 98145: thanks, Joe McG. that was fun.
	11:57am Joe McG: Well, there goes another radio show! Thanks for listening and commenting, everyone! Have a great week!
	11:57am northguineahills: Wow, I missed my hometown heroes, Skynyrd!
	11:57am John in Bklyn: Wow, this was from '75? Jeez. Fun show, Joe!
	👻 11:58am Hughie Considine: This Outlaws tune is one of the finest pop moments in the Southern Rock canon, methinks. The guitar solo sounds almost like he's overexcited.
	11:58am crateslinger: army of guitars
	11:58am rw: Thanks JMcG!
	11:58am Allison: Thanks Joe, great show! Spent 4 years living in Savannah, brought back some good memories.
	11:58am John in Bklyn: WFMU: Fred Astaire to The Outlaws in 3hrs.!!
	11:59am johnk77: skynrd is out touring right now
	11:59am queems: i’ve heard this one played a bunch at my house as a kid
	11:59am Krys O.: Great show, Joe!
	👻 11:59am Hughie Considine: @Krys O - yes! One always hopes for a chance to quote it, and here finally was mine.
	11:59am Booz: I agree with Hughie. Total meteor.
	11:59am ledzeppelinsucks: I saw the Outlaws in 1982 at The Mercer Arena in Seattle they opened for Black Sabbath
	11:59am crateslinger: I grew up on this stuff in Massachusetts. Saw the Outlaws at Tanglewood in like 1980.
	11:59am queems: thanks joe!!
	11:59am Ben Abs: Thanks for a great show today Joe! Take care all :)
	12:00pm Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, Joey!
	12:00pm Itzall Ablurr: Thanks Joe!
