12:33pm Joe B:

thanks johnk, will check that out later

12:33pm Todd-o-phonic Todd:

Spedding made some great pop singles with Most. I think this was the first one.

12:34pm Joe B:

hopefully this will be the first in a series -- too much great stuff he did for a single cd

12:34pm jillydg:

That Slippery People was AWESOME.

12:35pm Joe B:

12:54pm jillydg:

Roger Joe B. I just sent it along to my Stop Making Sense show co-attendees. Tx! David Byrne other places on the Turning Point album?

12:59pm zpulpa:

J Mascis and Robert Pollard are sounding more and more alike as they get older..... anyone agree?

12:59pm charbird:

Hello everyone, Charlie from CA here, just back from a great trip to east coast! Special thanks to Hoboken Jack, Joe B and Toddophonic Todd!

1:06pm Nate K.:

Hey, Joe. Sounding great.

1:06pm fletchernyc:

Sounds so much like Linda Hopper (Magnapop OhOk)

1:07pm Aaron Working In Newark:

Wuzzzz up Nate!

1:07pm Joe B:

jill, not sure, no longer have it in front of me. don't think so

👻

1:08pm OnTheTrain:

Dadcore ha!

1:09pm Joe B:

don't know about that zpulpa, i do know i saw both last year and both still at the top of their game after seeing them for 30 years

1:09pm Joe B:

hey charbird, great to see you, hope you had a good trip!

1:12pm tadpoles:

Going back to Chris Spedding, he's been playing in Bryan Ferry's band recently.

1:12pm Phillippe Bastille:

This Sharon Van Etten is my favorite song of the year so far.

1:13pm Joe B:

i think mine too!

1:13pm Joe B:

hey nate, thanks

1:14pm zpulpa:

@Joe B: I hope to see them both soon! Great show today! Thank you

1:15pm coelacanth∅:

hey Joe & all

1:16pm coelacanth∅:

oh nice! first Nordine i'm hearing since he left

1:16pm Jeezy:

Thanks for the Nordine, Joe! I first heard him on FMU as a preteen in the Jersey burbs, WAY back in the day...

1:16pm Webhamster Henry:

Happy President Nordine Day!

1:19pm coelacanth∅:

Ken Nordine was one of the things that made me let go of the dial at wfmu during my search for decent radio c.1978.

1:20pm medow:

dope show! a spider’s prayer! cool..

1:20pm Joe B:

fletcher good call with the Linda hopper comparison!

1:21pm Joe B:

thanks tadpoles did not know that.

1:22pm Nate K.:

I really liked that Sharon Van Etten track, and the one you played last week (I think it was). Don't know her that will, but I guess I'll have to investigate...

1:24pm Dungaroos Kipawah:

Don’t forget the SHEMP MEDITATION TAPE!

1:24pm coelacanth∅:

strong radiohead influence on that great Sharon Van Etten track, but not so much as to sound like mimicry

1:25pm Webhamster Henry:

Thanks for your Catalog Work, Joe! I built the online version of it, much of the curation by Chris T.
Yes, The Shemp Meditation Tape was a best seller!

1:25pm coelacanth∅:

haha i forgot about the shemp meditation tape!

1:25pm Nate K.:

@coelacantho, don't ruin it for me.

1:27pm Joe B:

good one DK! #neverforget

1:27pm Joe B:

Nate, played same cut last week. and probably next week #spoileralert

1:29pm Jeezy:

Really has been a rough week or so. After great sadness, I was honestly angry at X-Ray for not giving us any heads up, no opportunity to tell him what he meant to me, how inspirational he was... But of course I have no right to be and how he wants to bow out is his choice.

👻

1:29pm OnTheTrain:

Joe why do you have spurious # in your comments ?

1:29pm RobinSays:

Hi Joe, thanx for playing this Chris Isaak song. Not only is he exceedingly handsome, his songs have great emotional depth.

1:31pm Joe B:

as famous as he is, he is still somehow underrated

1:31pm Joe B:

@coelacantho -- great point!

1:32pm Joe B:

thanks medow!

greetings to all who have joined since the last greeting, thanks for tuning in

1:32pm Bluesman:

Hi Joe. Just gettin' in here. Who was your favorite president?

1:33pm coelacanth∅:

i actually scoured the wfmu playlist search a few days ago for versions of wicked game.
- a big hit but still undeniably a great song.

1:33pm Joe B:

the guy who was not only the president, but also a client!

1:34pm Joe B:

or henry fonda in failsafe

1:36pm coelacanth∅:

wasn't there a brand of cheese called "president"?

1:37pm Nate K.:

That certainly explains why I liked both songs...ha.

1:40pm coelacanth∅:

Jeezy on the other hand, if it went down as fast as it seems, at least he didn't suffer long.
(of course i really don't know)

1:43pm Dungaroos Kipawah:

Cy Spurling? What was that guy’s name? At least he was honest about his hair—or lack of it

1:44pm RobinSays:

Fanny! How awesome. I knew about them but never heard them. More Three Chord Monte awesomenes:)

1:47pm Bluesman:

President Sy Sperling!

1:49pm Todd-o-phonic Todd:

Alright time to get to the important stuff. Joe, what do you think of The Carolina Hurricanes victory celebrations?

1:50pm Joe B:

due to the WFMU conflict of interest policy, i have to say no comment!

👻

1:56pm Ken From Hyde Park:

A promo from Tenacious D, cool!

1:58pm Webhamster Henry:

Yoko! There may not be much difference between Richard Nixon and Chairman Mao, if you strip them naked!

1:59pm ashley morey:

Great Yoko selection!

👻

1:59pm OnTheTrain:

Anyone going to see the Jonathan Richman on Friday at The Bowery?

1:59pm coelacanth∅:

fanny: www.youtube.com...

2:02pm Joe B:

wish i could but have to work

2:02pm Joe B:

thanks Ash! hope all is well!

2:02pm Jeezy:

I have Chills tickets for tomorrow night!

2:03pm radioronan:

James Calvin Wilsey was integral part of the early Isaak sound including,"Wicked Game." Not much press on a very sad ending to a great talent but RS did a feature a couple of weeks ago. www.rollingstone.com...

👻

2:09pm OnTheTrain:

By the way , I can't get over how White Eagle hall went from my church's decrepit bingo hall into a hip music venue . I feel like it would have had the tripy art of Szukalski in it.

2:11pm coelacanth∅:

damn, radioronan that one slipped right by me.
rest in peace.
and i'm having trouble finding out about Michael Poole (wfmu's "the professor") -who apparently checked out recently. (yesterday?)

2:12pm Joe B:

michael poole:
swling.com...

2:12pm coelacanth∅:

Thank you Joe

2:14pm BnowB:

As always: amazing show Joe.

2:15pm Joe B:

there will be a tribute night to The Professor at Union Pool on march 3 (I think)

2:17pm coelacanth∅:

rest in peace
and condolences to his family, friends, and -again - to the wfmu family.

👻

2:22pm ChrisB.:

I was a big fan of The Audio Kitchen back in the day. Rough.

2:26pm Dungaroos Kipawah:

I’ve loved every single song I’ve heard from Cliff Westfall—got to get this record

2:27pm Joe B:

recommended!

2:32pm coelacanth∅:

haha Dave's pulling it all out on this one!

2:33pm coelacanth∅:

(and if that's Gillian on the harmony i'm Shocked!)

2:35pm Todd-o-phonic Todd:

Hedley is ahead of the pack!

2:35pm Joe B:

it's her

2:37pm Itzall Ablurr:

He (Hedley) will hopefully earn the fame and fortune that in an alternate universe would have been enjoyed by Deke Dickerson, in my opinion. Deke was too far ahead of the curve he started.

2:51pm tadpoles:

Thanks for your great mix today Joe. Cheers.

2:52pm Joe B:

thanks tadpoles. thanks everyone for listening and for the cool comments. see you next week

2:54pm coelacanth∅:

Thanks for a Great show Joe!

2:55pm listener 126464:

Thanks Joe

2:56pm listener monica:

thank you joe! i almost got my attic closet cleaned out thanks to your inspirational music selections.

2:57pm BnowB:

Thanks Joe!

2:59pm V Priceless:

thanx Joe!
