	9:42am ParUbi: His accent is super sweeeet
	9:42am Joe McG: @Snoochie: Soon, ever so soon!
	9:42am Handy Haversack: Excellent James Hogg reference here. One of the greatest writers of the unmooring terror of war.
	9:44am Al (the shire): OMG I'm literally listening next door to The Just Joan's. the shire's finest. If you excuse The Hector Collectors
	9:45am Joe McG: @Al: Cool, tell 'em I said hi and if they come over I'd like them on the show.
	9:46am Brendan: Were I a DJ with an avant garde show , I might do a blank cd premium called Ambient Silence. Kind of a Nothingness thing.
	9:46am ParUbi: This set is just wonderful! I just fell in love with two bands I haven't heard before.
	9:48am Joe McG: @ParUbi: Oh good! @Brendan: Sounds like a Kenny G premium!
	9:48am đ¢ ÞäŦ: MBV? No.
	9:49am Joe McG: @dcP: Since MBV doesn't make 'em anymore, I'm glad someone is! :)
	9:50am đ¢ ÞäŦ: thumbs up
	9:52am John from Florham park: Hello fellow surface noise listeners
	9:52am chresti in Griffith Park: Hi Joe! Hi everyone! Morning coffee with surface noises.

	9:53am Hubig Pie: This one is a fav

	👻 10:04am James in ATL: Mapache is great - got to see them in Atlanta recently. Pronounced like Apache with an m infront.
	10:05am Brian St Cyr: Checking in from New Orleans Happy Lundi Gras!!!
	10:06am Joe McG: @Brian: Hey pocky way! You won't need my third hour today AT ALL. :)
	10:08am Brendan: You could do a whole set of Bizarre Love Triangle covers and I’d be okay with it .
	10:08am Joe McG: @Brendan: It wouldn't be too hard to do. I think my grandmother recorded one. :)
	10:09am Brian in New Orleans: I will ALWAYS need your 3rd hour Joe
	10:10am Handy Haversack: @Brendan, you could suggest to Mary Wing for 3OAK.
	10:12am David (in London): @Joe - Did hers crack the charts? Unlike New Order's...
	10:13am Brendan: Go ahead, open the 80s door
	10:15am Joe McG: @David: I don't know, actually! I think it's brand-new, but I might be wrong.
	10:15am David (in London): @Brendan - Monsters could creep out.
	10:15am David (in London): @Joe - I meant your grandmother's version.
	10:15am steveo: this song makes me think about Laurie Anderson
	10:16am Joe McG: @David: Ha! She was hampered by bad distribution and the Frente version that came out at the same time.
	10:17am John in Bklyn: In 35 years, I think that was first time I ever heard a tune by Dream Academy besides "A hey oh ma ma ma..."
	10:17am Brendan: Makes me Think of The Thinker, by Godin ... err Rodin.
	👻 10:21am Hughie Considine: Wire still sound so great. Not many bands have kept it up like them in their later years.
	10:24am David (in London): @Hughie - I still miss Bruce Gilbert a bit, but Wire continue to amaze me with how good they can be decades into their career.
	10:25am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe & all! Just in time for "Flowers." Brilliant.
	10:25am Rev. Turnip Druid: friends. people. things.
	10:26am John from Florham park: Friends romans countrymen
	10:27am Joe McG: ....lend me your ears. For another hour and a half.
	10:27am David (in London): I know!
	10:28am John from Florham park: @Joe sure great show as always
	10:29am Brendan: My ears? Why not take all of me Can't you see I'm no good without you
	10:29am John from Florham park: @David in London did you get my last reply to you during the morning show?
	10:30am Marc Francis: Tim Burgess is from The Charlatans UK!
	10:30am Planet Tyler: Flowers is on the first LP, Today
	10:30am Hubig Pie: My research has confirmed that it was from #1 record, Today
	10:31am Brendan: Also, I have some good Dark Web organs that were ethically harvested
	10:31am David (in London): @John, not sure. Did you pick a carpet style you liked? Or was it something else?
	10:32am John from Florham park: @david it was about carols show yesterday and use whatever carpet you want
	10:33am zivilars: Girl Talk – such a great song!
	10:33am emily: Thanks for this Dave Edmunds song!
	10:33am zivilars: Girls, sorry
	👻 10:34am Hughie Considine: @David, it's true -- Bruce Gilbert added a crucial dimension to the band and there is a certain homogeneity to the sound now, but all things being equal, they are still making wonderful, otherworldly music.
	10:34am steveL: Nearly perfect song/performance/recording.
	10:34am John from Florham park: I was going into 9th grade when this song came out,joe you have any of Dave doing rockpile?
	10:35am pantz: Dave Edmunds was in Porky's Revenge! Talk about a multi-talent.
	10:36am David (in London): @John, ah yes, I did. Sigh. It was an emotional rollercoaster yesterday, wasn't it?
	10:36am Irene Trudel: "Girls" Talk" is a number one hit in my heart always! I still remembered all the words to sing along. Love Dave Edmunds' voice!
	10:38am Joe McG: @John: Sure, plenty! I'm a fan. @irene: Me, too!
	10:39am Snoochienucci: la la la la la la la la la la!
	10:40am Krys O.: Ooh, thanks for playing this Bell Notes! It was an old fave from listening to WCBS FM.
	👻 10:40am Webhamster Henry: Citizen Kafka used to sing this song with his band.
	10:40am ?: these guys are like the retarded everly brothers...
	10:40am John from Florham park: @Joe I know the next two weeks you have the marathon so can you play rock pile on you regular show the 16th @Snoich howdy
	10:41am zivilars: @?: "these guys are like the retarded everly brothers" – not gonna lie, I laughed ... :)
	10:42am Joe McG: @Krys: My pleasure!
	10:42am davefromtoronto: that was me - yeah not pc but couldn't resist!
	10:42am melinda: I was trying to remember where I heard this before and I think it was on an old radio show where Lou Reed was guest DJing, the archived episode was in the FMU newsletter.
	10:43am David (in London): It's raining and there's a leak in my medieval music room. I've got the Harpsichord Blues.
	10:44am melinda: Sunday is Lou’s birthday, same as my sister!
	10:44am Krys O.: @?: So many artists like Lonnie Mack and Alex Chilton loved that Bell Notes that they covered it. en.wikipedia.org...
	10:44am βrian: This player really has pluck.
	10:46am Joe McG: @Krys: I like Chilton's shambolic version.
	10:46am Handy Haversack: Strange that harpsichord blues never caught on more!
	10:47am Krys O.: @Joe: I hadn't thought about it years.
	10:49am David (in London): @Joe - Has anyone ever used the phrase "I like Chilton's polished and professional version"?
	10:49am John from Florham park: I am clicky starring all these singles
	10:49am Joe McG: I should've played the Uniques after the Angelettes for thematic cohesion. Do the segueway at home. :)
	10:51am Handy Haversack: @David, unsurprisingly, those people who did slipped through the fingers of history.
	10:52am tom: I liked the segue from the angelettes to the bell notes, like they were both singing in a minor key or something
	10:52am Brendan: Any chance the B side is Losers Weepers
	10:52am djsheilab: That Angelettes record was top-notch. Always love those “better watch out, girl!” warning songs. Morning Joe!
	10:52am John from Florham park: @Handy this is a wonderful station with really great djs
	10:53am Joe McG: @tom: Thanks for making me feel better about that one, tom! @SheilaB: Heya, Sheila!!
	10:53am ParUbi: @Handy-- let's be the fingernails of history and pick them back up!
	10:53am Handy Haversack: @John, you are preaching to the choir, my friend! Mondays sure go down a lot easier with this lineup of DJs!
	10:54am David (in London): @Handy - Yes, they never made the roll of honour. (I saw the Big Star reunion here in about 1992 or thereabouts, and Chilton was gloriously shambolic).
	10:54am Greg from ZONE 5: OH NO YOU DIDN'T <air guitaring> Ba new new new neewwwww nnn
	10:54am davefromtoronto: anyone remember that great conan o'brien bit with andy richter and this tune
	10:55am emily: yeah yeah yeah the boys are back!
	10:55am Joe McG: @Greg: I done did it!
	10:55am P-90: speechless
	10:55am John from Florham park: @Handy hell yes to that
	10:56am Snoochienucci: ill see you all down at Dinos this friday!
	10:56am Handy Haversack: I would be happy to be remembered as "gloriously shambolic." Seems like it's as high as I should dare to aim! Joe McG, I endorse this event or product!
	10:56am pantz: Can't hear this song without sense memory of pot and cheap beer wafting from my uncle's bedroom.
	10:57am ZeeBee: Woooooooeeeeeee good morning rockers!!!!!
	10:57am John from Florham park: @Joe first time I listened to single file and glad I did
	10:58am zivilars: wow, that already was half an hour? could have listened to another one easily with such a great mix
	10:58am Phillippe Bastille: That trip will be Fulphilling
	10:59am Brendan: @pantz. Same atmosphere in my friend’s basement . We wore that one out, along with Jailbreak on the flip side. We had no guitars so tennis rackets had to do.
	10:59am P-90: “overblown,over-rocked”, exactly. But fun.
	11:01am John from Florham park: @David very much so with carols show
	11:05am βrian: Car alarms are pointless.
	11:05am Handy Haversack: "This is a warning / step away from the car / this car is protected by vipers ..." -- TMBG
	11:06am Mister Dobalina: How about you leave them both a cordial note on their windshield? That might help.
	11:06am Greg from ZONE 5: WFMU: We play car alarms on the radio.
	11:06am happymaan: ok, I logged in just to say this song is awesome!
	11:06am steveo: top ten brilliantly annoying songs
	11:06am listener Rey: In my old nabe, those cars would get a warning letter on their windshield and if nothing happens, the next message is a brick or cinder block.
	👻 11:06am Webhamster Henry: I used to live in the Car Alarm Center of Brooklyn. Also "Godfather Theme" and "La Cucaracha" horns.
	👻 11:07am Ken From Hyde Park: Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope!
	11:07am mndave: Waiting for the smoke to clear from the car alarm clicky-star smash over here.
	11:07am David (in London): That cat music album has been dominating FMU of late. Good to see the car alarms fighting back.
	11:07am Handy Haversack: wfmu.org...
	11:07am sufferwords: ummm GeldoRf was on last Saturday
	11:07am The Oscar: Been busy with work, but had to log in to clickystar this track. Outstanding!
	11:07am Hubig Pie: I like a car alarm with a good steady beat , one that is easily danced to
	11:07am Clambake: This is making me quite anxious.
	11:07am zivilars: This is a crazy song for sure, but after having listened to a duck and pig sung version of "Wipe Out" by Duck Dale and His Pig Tones yesterday on Sheena's Jungle room, I am now prepared for everything ...
	11:08am Joe McG: @sufferwords: He sure was! Whoops! Old clipboard in the studio.
	👻 11:08am Webhamster Henry: "You set me off... like a car alarm" : Greasy Kid Stuff Fave.
	11:08am David (in London): @Hubig Pie - It can become very popular with the record-buying public.
	11:09am P-90: Car alarms: if you can’t beat ‘em, turn ‘em into irritainment
	11:09am Bill W: It could be worse, Joe... One of the residents in my building screams on the sidewalk under my window before 8 many mornings. There's no taking her to the shop.
	11:09am Jeff Moore: That car alarm song is actually a pretty good jam!
	11:10am jt: Are you aware that audible car alarms are now thankfully illegal in NYC? Worse sound ever my wife is mad now and i have to change the radio station.. sorry! Cinder block thru the windshield was always a fantasy of mine but I have left some angry notes /threats and that neighbor has since fixed /deleted the alarm. Notes to the effect of ; "The police will notified & they will write a ticket ." usually works.
	11:10am Krys O.: I seem to recall a song where the instruments are all car horns perhaps from the 80s or early 90s....
	11:10am Mister Dobalina: @ listener Rey: This seems reasonable and the right thing to do when all other options have been exhausted.
	11:10am Jeff Moore: Comment trophy to @Hubig Pie.
	11:11am Handy Haversack: Dedicated to mariano, who is hopefully having Too Much Fun!
	11:11am Greg from ZONE 5: What Jeff said.
	11:11am Krys O.: @Webhamster Henry: YES! I remember that one too.
	11:11am Joe McG: @Bill W: Wow, Bill, my sympathies!
	11:11am kevlicki: Joe, that song has forced me to turn my radio down. Will check in when the car horn is over!
	11:12am Mister Dobalina: Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope!
	👻 11:12am TristaC.LadyCaveBrat: This is GREAT!! My biggest earworm
	11:12am PKNY: Loving this BÖC cover...I was just about to complain about the lack of cowbell, but it came in during the chorus!
	11:12am steveo: 9th Ward MB rocks
	11:12am Brendan: Doo Doo Cars by the Orthotonics would be my choice
	👻 11:13am Webhamster Henry: @Krys O. Wendy Chambers built a car horn organ: www.wendymae.com...
	11:13am Snoochienucci: this is awesome
	11:13am mariano: Hey Joe McG, good to hear you in the Carnival spirit!
	11:13am David (in London): Ah, mariano. Greetings to you.
	11:13am Handy Haversack: @mariano! Hope you're having a ball!
	11:14am PKNY: just did a lookup of the 9th Ward record, they do a cover of "Boys are Back in Town" on that! Joe, can I call for an A/B to compare w/ the Thin Lizzy original?
	11:14am Snoochienucci: you guys ever see this tribute they did for Dr John in the streets after he died? Awesome! www.youtube.com... (hope its okay to share the link)
	11:14am Brendan: Lundi Gras fun
	11:15am Phillippe Bastille: I should visit the fridge for my leftover etouffe! (that stuff is a pain in the ass to make, btw)
	11:15am pantz: Now I'm craving chicory coffee and etouffee
	11:15am mariano: Hi David and Handy - having a ball indeed, in that last 24-hour crescendo! Saving my energy for Orpheus later tonight, then it's up bright and early to catch Zulu and Rex.
	11:15am Krys O.: That is it! Thank you, Henry!
	11:16am Eric from Lake Hiawatha: Thank you
	11:16am yippie: reminds me of walking around new orleans and seeing all these awesome bands march by me
	11:16am Handy Haversack: @mariano: fantastic. Consider me jealous!
	11:16am P-90: THE Mardi Gras song
	11:17am Greg from ZONE 5: Great song? OR THE GREATEST SONG??
	👻 11:17am tim from champaign (now washington): Joe - I approve of sonic warfare as revenge. There was one town I lived in that was full of subliterate hippie stoner college bozos. These jabronis who lived across the street from me would blast Bob Marley or Dr Dre out of nowhere on a Tuesday morning at 1 am. I had a fantasy of rigging up speakers outside of their bedroom windows and at 7 am blasting Throbbing Gristle or Wold Eyes at top volume.
	11:17am pantz: I highly recommend going to New Orleans during or slightly before Mardi Gras. New Orleans might not be around much longer.
	11:17am David (in London): @mariano - Me too. Stuck in the grey north European gloom that sounds utterly awesome.
	11:18am Carmichael: Heya Joe and second liners. Diggin' the Mardi Gras tunes. I also see you played Stomach Worm, my favorite Stereolab tune EVAH!
	11:18am JakeGould: Dang! I missed the car alarm song. I miss those things. I feel nowadays people playing all kinds of sounds/music on their smartphones and Bluetooth speakers is a worse noise problem in NYC. Very grateful I have also been able to see a few mocking birds literally tweet in the same exact pattern as car alarms.
	11:18am yippie: is voodoo prayer language a real language?
	11:18am Hubig Pie: Written by Earl King. Earl King- he's an earl, he's a king , why is this man not president ?
	11:18am David (in London): @tim - When my neighbour was playing some terrible music, loudly, for a protracted period some years ago, I angled my speakers to their window, put on The Stooges' 'Search and Destroy' and cranked it up. It did the trick...
	11:19am Carmichael: We already have a king as president, and his name ain't Earl.
	11:20am Handy Haversack: @JakeGould: I have heard that too! It's completely gob-smackingly wild. I worked in cafe in Providence and would clear out the after-bard crowd when it was time to mop by blasting _Confusion Is Sex_. Always worked. The Erlking rules in the land of faerie.
	11:20am mariano: Don't be jealous Handy and David, come on down sometime! Believe me, I'm jealous of UK weather during our miserable swampy summers.
	👻 11:20am Ken From Hyde Park: I'm afraid to tell Mark Hurst of the idea I'm working on. If your car is broken into, it continuously relays messages to the Tweeter account of everyone in a two-block radius until it gets reset.
	11:22am Handy Haversack: Yeah, @mariano, I am contemplating some plans ... furtive and shadowy still, but rising ...
	11:22am PKNY: Is that the Meters (or at least Ziggy on drums) on this Earl King track?
	11:23am JakeGould: I genuinely miss the car horns that played the Godfather theme.
	11:24am David (in London): @mariano - Now that is an idea to which I need to give some serious consideration.
	👻 11:24am tim from champaign (now washington): Nice work, David! Fantastic set, Joe!
	11:25am David (in London): Oh man, when The Zig is behind the kit, all is right with the world.
	11:25am Joe McG: Since I was reading the wrong stuff off the clipboard earlier, let me mention that Nate K. and Matt Fiveash will be doing a Mardi Gras special tomorrow night at 9.
	👻 11:26am tim from champaign (now washington): Not necessarily a Mardi Gras tune but I love Stephanie McDee's Call The Police as New Orleans favorite.
	11:27am Hubig Pie: Your tee-na-na
	11:28am Brendan: Any DC area listeners remember Cowboy Fred who played the zydeco music on Saturday afternoon on Pacifica station WPFW?
	11:28am Carmichael: Killin' it, Joe!
	11:29am Carmichael: I saw the Nevilles about 10 times between 82-91. Would see 'em again in a heartbeat, even though they're short staffed.
	11:30am White Michael: Listening in New Orleans. Please Play Brother Tyrone and the Mindbenders - 'Indian Blues'
	11:30am Eric from Lake Hiawatha: Joe you have taken me back to college and fabulous memories. Seeing these bands live was a blessing.
	11:30am pantz: Got any Radiators @Joe?
	11:31am Mike Sin: Very much enjoying this Mardi Gras-oriented set!
	11:31am Carmichael: Even the Night Tripper singin' Iko Iko would be wonderful.
	11:32am Joe McG: @Mike: Good music to put together your Indian costume to! :)
	11:32am Hubig Pie: Neitzche boys on the battle front
	11:34am melinda: I saw the Neville Bros. at a jazz street fest in Iowa, it was great.
	11:35am johnk77: funky show selecter saw ziggy modeliste last year in berkeley still brings the magic live singing and conducting from the trap drum throne;>
	11:37am Carmichael: You must have seen Always For Pleasure, Joe!
	👻 11:37am 12539: Thanks Joe! (cutting out early today)
	👻 11:39am tim from champaign (now washington): This songs out of control!
	11:40am mariano: This set would be a standout even WOZ, Joe.
	11:42am melinda: @Carm that was a good film.
	11:43am steveo: tuba jamming
	11:44am Joe McG: Wow, high praise, mariano! Jealous of all you folks who saw Ziggy in the flesh.
	11:48am Bill W: Louis Armstrong House Museum in Queens is well worth a visit btw
	11:49am Snoochienucci: great show Joe! as always but this last set was amazing
	11:49am Handy Haversack: Really killing it, Joe! This set is fantastic. Thanks!
	11:51am David (in London): Louis Prima kicked astronaughts.
	11:51am Snoochienucci: love me some Prima
	11:51am Joe McG: Glad you guys are enjoying. Nice consolation prize since we can't be in NO, unlike Brian St. Cyr, lucky dude!
	11:53am pantz: Laissez les bons temps rouler! Great show @Joe. See you next week.
	11:53am mariano: Been saying it for a while, Joe - FMU should send a DJ or two down here every year for the festivities.
	👻 11:54am tim from champaign (now washington): Next year FMU should send Joe and DJ Stashu on assignment to Mardis Gras.
	11:55am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everyone! Have a great week. See you for marathon next week with my guest co-host Michele!
	11:55am zivilars: I always get a bit sad when thinking about how cool carnival can be in St. Louis with this kind of music compared to our shitty carnival in Germany ...
	11:55am zivilars: Thanks for a great show, Joe!
	11:56am Krys O.: Thanks, Joe for another thoroughly enjoyable show!
	11:56am P-90: This set really went above and beyond. Thanks, Joe McG!
	11:56am Mister Dobalina: RIP Clyde Stubblefield .
	👻 11:56am LastWhiteRhino: Good stuff Joe. Thanks.
	11:56am Brendan: Merci Joe
	👻 11:56am tim from champaign (now washington): Thanks Joe!
	11:56am David (in London): Thanks Joe, that rocked from start to finish.
	11:56am mariano: Hah, jinx, tim! Thanks Joe, amazing show, nice gabbin' with everyone!

	9:45am Joe McG: @Al: Cool, tell 'em I said hi and if they come over I'd like them on the show.
	9:46am Brendan: Were I a DJ with an avant garde show , I might do a blank cd premium called Ambient Silence. Kind of a Nothingness thing.
	9:46am ParUbi: This set is just wonderful! I just fell in love with two bands I haven't heard before.
	9:48am Joe McG: @ParUbi: Oh good! @Brendan: Sounds like a Kenny G premium!

	10:06am Joe McG: @Brian: Hey pocky way! You won't need my third hour today AT ALL. :)
	10:08am Brendan: You could do a whole set of Bizarre Love Triangle covers and I’d be okay with it .
	10:08am Joe McG: @Brendan: It wouldn't be too hard to do. I think my grandmother recorded one. :)
	10:09am Brian in New Orleans: I will ALWAYS need your 3rd hour Joe
	10:10am Handy Haversack: @Brendan, you could suggest to Mary Wing for 3OAK.
	10:12am David (in London): @Joe - Did hers crack the charts? Unlike New Order's...
	10:13am Brendan: Go ahead, open the 80s door
	10:15am Joe McG: @David: I don't know, actually! I think it's brand-new, but I might be wrong.
	10:15am David (in London): @Brendan - Monsters could creep out.
	10:15am David (in London): @Joe - I meant your grandmother's version.
	10:15am steveo: this song makes me think about Laurie Anderson
	10:16am Joe McG: @David: Ha! She was hampered by bad distribution and the Frente version that came out at the same time.
	10:17am John in Bklyn: In 35 years, I think that was first time I ever heard a tune by Dream Academy besides "A hey oh ma ma ma..."
	10:17am Brendan: Makes me Think of The Thinker, by Godin ... err Rodin.
	👻 10:21am Hughie Considine: Wire still sound so great. Not many bands have kept it up like them in their later years.
	10:24am David (in London): @Hughie - I still miss Bruce Gilbert a bit, but Wire continue to amaze me with how good they can be decades into their career.
	10:25am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Joe & all! Just in time for "Flowers." Brilliant.
	10:25am Rev. Turnip Druid: friends. people. things.

	10:30am Marc Francis: Tim Burgess is from The Charlatans UK!
	10:30am Planet Tyler: Flowers is on the first LP, Today
	10:30am Hubig Pie: My research has confirmed that it was from #1 record, Today
	10:31am Brendan: Also, I have some good Dark Web organs that were ethically harvested
	10:31am David (in London): @John, not sure. Did you pick a carpet style you liked? Or was it something else?
	10:32am John from Florham park: @david it was about carols show yesterday and use whatever carpet you want
	10:33am zivilars: Girl Talk – such a great song!
	10:33am emily: Thanks for this Dave Edmunds song!
	10:33am zivilars: Girls, sorry
	👻 10:34am Hughie Considine: @David, it's true -- Bruce Gilbert added a crucial dimension to the band and there is a certain homogeneity to the sound now, but all things being equal, they are still making wonderful, otherworldly music.
	10:34am steveL: Nearly perfect song/performance/recording.
	10:34am John from Florham park: I was going into 9th grade when this song came out,joe you have any of Dave doing rockpile?
	10:35am pantz: Dave Edmunds was in Porky's Revenge! Talk about a multi-talent.
	10:36am David (in London): @John, ah yes, I did. Sigh. It was an emotional rollercoaster yesterday, wasn't it?
	10:36am Irene Trudel: "Girls" Talk" is a number one hit in my heart always! I still remembered all the words to sing along. Love Dave Edmunds' voice!
	10:38am Joe McG: @John: Sure, plenty! I'm a fan. @irene: Me, too!
	10:39am Snoochienucci: la la la la la la la la la la!
	10:40am Krys O.: Ooh, thanks for playing this Bell Notes! It was an old fave from listening to WCBS FM.
	👻 10:40am Webhamster Henry: Citizen Kafka used to sing this song with his band.
	10:40am ?: these guys are like the retarded everly brothers...
	10:40am John from Florham park: @Joe I know the next two weeks you have the marathon so can you play rock pile on you regular show the 16th @Snoich howdy
	10:41am zivilars: @?: "these guys are like the retarded everly brothers" – not gonna lie, I laughed ... :)
	10:42am Joe McG: @Krys: My pleasure!
	10:42am davefromtoronto: that was me - yeah not pc but couldn't resist!
	10:42am melinda: I was trying to remember where I heard this before and I think it was on an old radio show where Lou Reed was guest DJing, the archived episode was in the FMU newsletter.
	10:43am David (in London): It's raining and there's a leak in my medieval music room. I've got the Harpsichord Blues.
	10:44am melinda: Sunday is Lou’s birthday, same as my sister!
	10:44am Krys O.: @?: So many artists like Lonnie Mack and Alex Chilton loved that Bell Notes that they covered it. en.wikipedia.org...
	10:44am βrian: This player really has pluck.
	10:46am Joe McG: @Krys: I like Chilton's shambolic version.
	10:46am Handy Haversack: Strange that harpsichord blues never caught on more!
	10:47am Krys O.: @Joe: I hadn't thought about it years.
	10:49am David (in London): @Joe - Has anyone ever used the phrase "I like Chilton's polished and professional version"?
	10:49am John from Florham park: I am clicky starring all these singles
	10:49am Joe McG: I should've played the Uniques after the Angelettes for thematic cohesion. Do the segueway at home. :)
	10:51am Handy Haversack: @David, unsurprisingly, those people who did slipped through the fingers of history.
	10:52am tom: I liked the segue from the angelettes to the bell notes, like they were both singing in a minor key or something
	10:52am Brendan: Any chance the B side is Losers Weepers
	10:52am djsheilab: That Angelettes record was top-notch. Always love those “better watch out, girl!” warning songs. Morning Joe!
	10:52am John from Florham park: @Handy this is a wonderful station with really great djs
	10:53am Joe McG: @tom: Thanks for making me feel better about that one, tom! @SheilaB: Heya, Sheila!!
	10:53am ParUbi: @Handy-- let's be the fingernails of history and pick them back up!
	10:53am Handy Haversack: @John, you are preaching to the choir, my friend! Mondays sure go down a lot easier with this lineup of DJs!
	10:54am David (in London): @Handy - Yes, they never made the roll of honour. (I saw the Big Star reunion here in about 1992 or thereabouts, and Chilton was gloriously shambolic).
	10:54am Greg from ZONE 5: OH NO YOU DIDN'T <air guitaring> Ba new new new neewwwww nnn
	10:54am davefromtoronto: anyone remember that great conan o'brien bit with andy richter and this tune
	10:55am emily: yeah yeah yeah the boys are back!
	10:55am Joe McG: @Greg: I done did it!
	10:55am P-90: speechless
	10:55am John from Florham park: @Handy hell yes to that
	10:56am Snoochienucci: ill see you all down at Dinos this friday!
	10:56am Handy Haversack: I would be happy to be remembered as "gloriously shambolic." Seems like it's as high as I should dare to aim! Joe McG, I endorse this event or product!
	10:56am pantz: Can't hear this song without sense memory of pot and cheap beer wafting from my uncle's bedroom.
	10:57am ZeeBee: Woooooooeeeeeee good morning rockers!!!!!
	10:57am John from Florham park: @Joe first time I listened to single file and glad I did
	10:58am zivilars: wow, that already was half an hour? could have listened to another one easily with such a great mix
	10:58am Phillippe Bastille: That trip will be Fulphilling
	10:59am Brendan: @pantz. Same atmosphere in my friend’s basement . We wore that one out, along with Jailbreak on the flip side. We had no guitars so tennis rackets had to do.
	10:59am P-90: “overblown,over-rocked”, exactly. But fun.
	11:01am John from Florham park: @David very much so with carols show
	11:05am βrian: Car alarms are pointless.
	11:05am Handy Haversack: "This is a warning / step away from the car / this car is protected by vipers ..." -- TMBG
	11:06am Mister Dobalina: How about you leave them both a cordial note on their windshield? That might help.
	11:06am Greg from ZONE 5: WFMU: We play car alarms on the radio.
	11:06am happymaan: ok, I logged in just to say this song is awesome!
	11:06am steveo: top ten brilliantly annoying songs
	11:06am listener Rey: In my old nabe, those cars would get a warning letter on their windshield and if nothing happens, the next message is a brick or cinder block.
	👻 11:06am Webhamster Henry: I used to live in the Car Alarm Center of Brooklyn. Also "Godfather Theme" and "La Cucaracha" horns.
	👻 11:07am Ken From Hyde Park: Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope!
	11:07am mndave: Waiting for the smoke to clear from the car alarm clicky-star smash over here.
	11:07am David (in London): That cat music album has been dominating FMU of late. Good to see the car alarms fighting back.
	11:07am Handy Haversack: wfmu.org...
	11:07am sufferwords: ummm GeldoRf was on last Saturday
	11:07am The Oscar: Been busy with work, but had to log in to clickystar this track. Outstanding!
	11:07am Hubig Pie: I like a car alarm with a good steady beat , one that is easily danced to
	11:07am Clambake: This is making me quite anxious.
	11:07am zivilars: This is a crazy song for sure, but after having listened to a duck and pig sung version of "Wipe Out" by Duck Dale and His Pig Tones yesterday on Sheena's Jungle room, I am now prepared for everything ...
	11:08am Joe McG: @sufferwords: He sure was! Whoops! Old clipboard in the studio.
	👻 11:08am Webhamster Henry: "You set me off... like a car alarm" : Greasy Kid Stuff Fave.
	11:08am David (in London): @Hubig Pie - It can become very popular with the record-buying public.
	11:09am P-90: Car alarms: if you can’t beat ‘em, turn ‘em into irritainment
	11:09am Bill W: It could be worse, Joe... One of the residents in my building screams on the sidewalk under my window before 8 many mornings. There's no taking her to the shop.
	11:09am Jeff Moore: That car alarm song is actually a pretty good jam!
	11:10am jt: Are you aware that audible car alarms are now thankfully illegal in NYC? Worse sound ever my wife is mad now and i have to change the radio station.. sorry! Cinder block thru the windshield was always a fantasy of mine but I have left some angry notes /threats and that neighbor has since fixed /deleted the alarm. Notes to the effect of ; "The police will notified & they will write a ticket ." usually works.
	11:10am Krys O.: I seem to recall a song where the instruments are all car horns perhaps from the 80s or early 90s....
	11:10am Mister Dobalina: @ listener Rey: This seems reasonable and the right thing to do when all other options have been exhausted.
	11:10am Jeff Moore: Comment trophy to @Hubig Pie.
	11:11am Handy Haversack: Dedicated to mariano, who is hopefully having Too Much Fun!
	11:11am Greg from ZONE 5: What Jeff said.
	11:11am Krys O.: @Webhamster Henry: YES! I remember that one too.
	11:11am Joe McG: @Bill W: Wow, Bill, my sympathies!
	11:11am kevlicki: Joe, that song has forced me to turn my radio down. Will check in when the car horn is over!
	11:12am Mister Dobalina: Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope!
	👻 11:12am TristaC.LadyCaveBrat: This is GREAT!! My biggest earworm
	11:12am PKNY: Loving this BÖC cover...I was just about to complain about the lack of cowbell, but it came in during the chorus!
	11:12am steveo: 9th Ward MB rocks
	11:12am Brendan: Doo Doo Cars by the Orthotonics would be my choice
	👻 11:13am Webhamster Henry: @Krys O. Wendy Chambers built a car horn organ: www.wendymae.com...
	11:13am Snoochienucci: this is awesome
	11:13am mariano: Hey Joe McG, good to hear you in the Carnival spirit!
	11:13am David (in London): Ah, mariano. Greetings to you.
	11:13am Handy Haversack: @mariano! Hope you're having a ball!
	11:14am PKNY: just did a lookup of the 9th Ward record, they do a cover of "Boys are Back in Town" on that! Joe, can I call for an A/B to compare w/ the Thin Lizzy original?
	11:14am Snoochienucci: you guys ever see this tribute they did for Dr John in the streets after he died? Awesome! www.youtube.com... (hope its okay to share the link)
	11:14am Brendan: Lundi Gras fun
	11:15am Phillippe Bastille: I should visit the fridge for my leftover etouffe! (that stuff is a pain in the ass to make, btw)
	11:15am pantz: Now I'm craving chicory coffee and etouffee
	11:15am mariano: Hi David and Handy - having a ball indeed, in that last 24-hour crescendo! Saving my energy for Orpheus later tonight, then it's up bright and early to catch Zulu and Rex.
	11:15am Krys O.: That is it! Thank you, Henry!
	11:16am Eric from Lake Hiawatha: Thank you
	11:16am yippie: reminds me of walking around new orleans and seeing all these awesome bands march by me
	11:16am Handy Haversack: @mariano: fantastic. Consider me jealous!
	11:16am P-90: THE Mardi Gras song
	11:17am Greg from ZONE 5: Great song? OR THE GREATEST SONG??
	👻 11:17am tim from champaign (now washington): Joe - I approve of sonic warfare as revenge. There was one town I lived in that was full of subliterate hippie stoner college bozos. These jabronis who lived across the street from me would blast Bob Marley or Dr Dre out of nowhere on a Tuesday morning at 1 am. I had a fantasy of rigging up speakers outside of their bedroom windows and at 7 am blasting Throbbing Gristle or Wold Eyes at top volume.
	11:17am pantz: I highly recommend going to New Orleans during or slightly before Mardi Gras. New Orleans might not be around much longer.
	11:17am David (in London): @mariano - Me too. Stuck in the grey north European gloom that sounds utterly awesome.
	11:18am Carmichael: Heya Joe and second liners. Diggin' the Mardi Gras tunes. I also see you played Stomach Worm, my favorite Stereolab tune EVAH!
	11:18am JakeGould: Dang! I missed the car alarm song. I miss those things. I feel nowadays people playing all kinds of sounds/music on their smartphones and Bluetooth speakers is a worse noise problem in NYC. Very grateful I have also been able to see a few mocking birds literally tweet in the same exact pattern as car alarms.
	11:18am yippie: is voodoo prayer language a real language?
	11:18am Hubig Pie: Written by Earl King. Earl King- he's an earl, he's a king , why is this man not president ?
	11:18am David (in London): @tim - When my neighbour was playing some terrible music, loudly, for a protracted period some years ago, I angled my speakers to their window, put on The Stooges' 'Search and Destroy' and cranked it up. It did the trick...
	11:19am Carmichael: We already have a king as president, and his name ain't Earl.
	11:20am Handy Haversack: @JakeGould: I have heard that too! It's completely gob-smackingly wild. I worked in cafe in Providence and would clear out the after-bard crowd when it was time to mop by blasting _Confusion Is Sex_. Always worked. The Erlking rules in the land of faerie.
	11:20am mariano: Don't be jealous Handy and David, come on down sometime! Believe me, I'm jealous of UK weather during our miserable swampy summers.
	👻 11:20am Ken From Hyde Park: I'm afraid to tell Mark Hurst of the idea I'm working on. If your car is broken into, it continuously relays messages to the Tweeter account of everyone in a two-block radius until it gets reset.
	11:22am Handy Haversack: Yeah, @mariano, I am contemplating some plans ... furtive and shadowy still, but rising ...
	11:22am PKNY: Is that the Meters (or at least Ziggy on drums) on this Earl King track?
	11:23am JakeGould: I genuinely miss the car horns that played the Godfather theme.
	11:24am David (in London): @mariano - Now that is an idea to which I need to give some serious consideration.
	👻 11:24am tim from champaign (now washington): Nice work, David! Fantastic set, Joe!
	11:25am David (in London): Oh man, when The Zig is behind the kit, all is right with the world.
	11:25am Joe McG: Since I was reading the wrong stuff off the clipboard earlier, let me mention that Nate K. and Matt Fiveash will be doing a Mardi Gras special tomorrow night at 9.
	👻 11:26am tim from champaign (now washington): Not necessarily a Mardi Gras tune but I love Stephanie McDee's Call The Police as New Orleans favorite.
	11:27am Hubig Pie: Your tee-na-na
	11:28am Brendan: Any DC area listeners remember Cowboy Fred who played the zydeco music on Saturday afternoon on Pacifica station WPFW?
	11:28am Carmichael: Killin' it, Joe!
	11:29am Carmichael: I saw the Nevilles about 10 times between 82-91. Would see 'em again in a heartbeat, even though they're short staffed.
	11:30am White Michael: Listening in New Orleans. Please Play Brother Tyrone and the Mindbenders - 'Indian Blues'
	11:30am Eric from Lake Hiawatha: Joe you have taken me back to college and fabulous memories. Seeing these bands live was a blessing.
	11:30am pantz: Got any Radiators @Joe?
	11:31am Mike Sin: Very much enjoying this Mardi Gras-oriented set!
	11:31am Carmichael: Even the Night Tripper singin' Iko Iko would be wonderful.
	11:32am Joe McG: @Mike: Good music to put together your Indian costume to! :)
	11:32am Hubig Pie: Neitzche boys on the battle front
	11:34am melinda: I saw the Neville Bros. at a jazz street fest in Iowa, it was great.
	11:35am johnk77: funky show selecter saw ziggy modeliste last year in berkeley still brings the magic live singing and conducting from the trap drum throne;>
	11:37am Carmichael: You must have seen Always For Pleasure, Joe!
	👻 11:37am 12539: Thanks Joe! (cutting out early today)
	👻 11:39am tim from champaign (now washington): This songs out of control!
	11:40am mariano: This set would be a standout even WOZ, Joe.
	11:42am melinda: @Carm that was a good film.
	11:43am steveo: tuba jamming
	11:44am Joe McG: Wow, high praise, mariano! Jealous of all you folks who saw Ziggy in the flesh.
	11:48am Bill W: Louis Armstrong House Museum in Queens is well worth a visit btw
	11:49am Snoochienucci: great show Joe! as always but this last set was amazing
	11:49am Handy Haversack: Really killing it, Joe! This set is fantastic. Thanks!
	11:51am David (in London): Louis Prima kicked astronaughts.
	11:51am Snoochienucci: love me some Prima
	11:51am Joe McG: Glad you guys are enjoying. Nice consolation prize since we can't be in NO, unlike Brian St. Cyr, lucky dude!
	11:53am pantz: Laissez les bons temps rouler! Great show @Joe. See you next week.
	11:53am mariano: Been saying it for a while, Joe - FMU should send a DJ or two down here every year for the festivities.
	👻 11:54am tim from champaign (now washington): Next year FMU should send Joe and DJ Stashu on assignment to Mardis Gras.
	11:55am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting, everyone! Have a great week. See you for marathon next week with my guest co-host Michele!
	11:55am zivilars: I always get a bit sad when thinking about how cool carnival can be in St. Louis with this kind of music compared to our shitty carnival in Germany ...
	11:55am zivilars: Thanks for a great show, Joe!
	11:56am Krys O.: Thanks, Joe for another thoroughly enjoyable show!
	11:56am P-90: This set really went above and beyond. Thanks, Joe McG!
	11:56am Mister Dobalina: RIP Clyde Stubblefield .
	👻 11:56am LastWhiteRhino: Good stuff Joe. Thanks.
	11:56am Brendan: Merci Joe
	👻 11:56am tim from champaign (now washington): Thanks Joe!
	11:56am David (in London): Thanks Joe, that rocked from start to finish.
	11:56am mariano: Hah, jinx, tim! Thanks Joe, amazing show, nice gabbin' with everyone!
