Hi Joe! Good Neil Young song

12:42pm Melissa Jean:

I think I'm going to love Homegrown! thanks for the tip

12:43pm Amy:

This set is unbelievably great, Joe.

👻

12:45pm David Shortell:

I only found out yesterday that the Flying Burrito Brothers' recording of "Wild Horses" came out a year before the Rolling Stones'.

12:50pm steveo:

@David I found out when Todd played the Burrito's version two weeks ago :)

12:53pm efd:

love this Lewsberg album

12:53pm Joe B:

whoops it's e-minor, my bad. apologies to those playing along at home

12:53pm Joe B:

thanks Amy, and thanks and hello to all!

12:53pm efd:

damn, no wonder I'm so off-key! Thanks for nothing, Joe!

12:54pm Woo:

E minor is the best chord. This is a pretty Velvety song.

12:54pm PJ:

Is this a Lewis Allan Reed tribute band?

12:54pm Amy:

I had to check to see if this was some obscure Lou Reed song.

👻

12:56pm David Shortell:

Serious question: Did Gram Parsons get the idea for his band's name from the International Silver String Submarine Band in the 1934 Our Gang short "Mike Fright"?

1:02pm Handy Haversack:

An hour and a half sitting in the car for 20 seconds of action when the street sweeper miraculously came by.

At least 91.9 was coming in like a dream. Great show so far, Joe!

Hey, everyone!

1:02pm Mark on top of Helsinki:

Hi Joe! Just want to thank you for the great set. You and the rest of the FMU team are keeping things normal and COOL! I rented the WBCN documentary, and it was worth every cent. Although I'm too young to remember the history included in it, WBCN was the station of my youth before corporate America tragicallydtragically it. That's why I think WFMU fucking rocks.

1:04pm Mark on top of Helsinki:

Erm, should've read "tragically devoured"

1:04pm Handy Haversack:

Man, this Exbats album is solid gold top to bottom. Such a great find -- thanks Joe, efd, Todd!

1:07pm Joe B:

agreed handy great record. i only heard of them through their connection to the resonars, matt rendon

1:07pm Joe B:

thanks mark, appreciate it

👻

1:08pm Ken From Hyde Park:

@Handy - You might find these useful: www.harborfreight.com...

👻

1:08pm Frank In Queens:

Rock on Joe!

1:09pm John from Madison:

Crappy weather, good tunes. I'm calling it a win.

1:11pm Handy Haversack:

@Ken -- if we'd had those, we could have joined you at the car parade!

Joe B., I think I mentioned that when I ordered this Exbats CD, they included a second copy, ANOTHER CD, stickers, and a handwritten note. Total class act. Inez for pres!

1:12pm Jeff formerly from Rahway:

Good afternoon to the People’s Champ!

1:13pm David in London:

Handy, did you have styrofoam cups of coffee and doughnuts and pretend to be on a stake-out?

1:14pm Joe B:

nice Handy!

1:15pm coelacanth∅:

Handy, you might have to take the motor out though so the car's not too heavy for those.
and the battery, the seats, the drivetrain, the gas tank, all the glass and the spare tire...

1:15pm Handy Haversack:

Laptops and the dog, David. A very Brooklyn stakeout. Another fun part was turning on the car enough to roll up the windows whenever someone without a mask was walking by. Power windows destroyed society.

There. I said it.

1:17pm Mister Dobalina:

Best of the Belock 3 hour tour!

1:19pm Somm Ben:

I will say some parts of Bergen Lafayette are pretty filthy

1:21pm ottovonbqe:

Thanks for reminding me to add my driveway to my gratitude board!

1:22pm Mister Dobalina:

Hate to say it but there is lots of human poop on 13th between Broadway & 3rd ave. Pretty freakin' gross.

1:24pm nickybones:

I love this Resonars tune. Just had another new record hit yesterday or a couple days ago

1:25pm Somm Ben:

We need street sweeping!

1:25pm Joe B:

yeah 4 song 7 inch on hidden volume, gotta get that one!

1:26pm nickybones:

the prolific getting prolific-er!

1:27pm Joe B:

i should do a whole matt rendon show - resonars, knockout pills, production work etc

1:27pm Steve Harsh:

Joe, please don't lament the pack rat thing - it's what makes you you, and we are all the beneficiaries

1:28pm efd:

@Joe you could play a whole side of that Butterscotch Cathedral record!

1:28pm nickybones:

damn, i only know the Resonars stuff!

1:28pm Joe B:

oh yeah efd! sounds like i gotta do it!

1:29pm Handy Haversack:

I am just shocked the street sweeper came and the parking cops didn't. I assumed this was just to generate ticket revenue. My neighborhood is historically neglected with actual cleaning but very affected by the ASP rules.

1:30pm Tim 07030:

I too just moved my car for street sweeping (Hoboken edition) for the first time in about 6 weeks. Your show sounded equally good on the road, Joe!

1:30pm efd:

and don't forget Sea Wren!

1:30pm steveo:

people still have cars?

1:30pm Joe B:

getting about three weeks to the gallon currently

1:31pm Somm Ben:

Great set, Joe B.

1:32pm Handy Haversack:

@What else are we going to move across the street on alternate-side days, @steveo? QED!

1:32pm WoodsOfNH:

@Joe B Best-in-class gas mileage!

1:33pm coelacanth∅:

yeah Marcel!

1:33pm steveo:

i mean, i consider it a privilege to not have a car; but if I could leave it in one spot for free for weeks on end I would probably consider it

1:33pm egould310:

River Cult is very Fu Manchu. Hey! How about some Fu Manchu?

👻

1:34pm Frank In Queens:

Yes, egould. Very Fu Manchu and Nebula. This is some throwback stoner rock stuff!

1:35pm Peter from Dover NJ:

Loving River Cult. Great show, Joe B!

1:36pm coelacanth∅:

Marcel's ("what was music") band: rivercult.bandcamp.com

1:36pm Jeezy:

Joe! NYTimes just did a piece about Astrid Kirchherr dying! Can we expect a tribute today?! haha...

1:36pm Joe B:

she was very important of course.

1:36pm Jeezy:

I'd suggest the Hamburg-era version of Shimmy Shimmy that Paul takes lead on.... FIRE!

1:36pm Joe B:

thanks everyone for tuning in and for the kind words

1:36pm steveo:

@coel, oh cool, good stuff

1:37pm Woo:

If not for Astrid we may not be here today listening to this rock and roll.

1:37pm Joe B:

ah good call with fu. just saw it now, perhaps next week. i have some unfiled fu manchu records staring me down as we speak!

1:37pm Handy Haversack:

River Cult on the list for the next Bandcamp Friday, that's for sure.

1:38pm Joe B:

dan crow of electric mess probably the most underrated guitar slinger in NYC these days

1:38pm coelacanth∅:

Thanks YOU Joe! and whoever's at the board today

👻

1:38pm Frank In Queens:

Dan Crow ain't underrated by me! He's not bad for a drummer!

1:39pm Joe B:

thanks for the reminder - thank Michele for skeletoning for us today!

1:40pm Handy Haversack:

Thanks, Michele! One L but all the thanks and praises!

1:40pm George in Wotown:

Great stuff, Joe! Hey, are you hitting up Rutt's on the way home?? #rippers

1:41pm coelacanth∅:

wow pulling out the "library music"!
rest in peace Phil May.

1:41pm Joe B:

george not today but i plan on it this week!

1:41pm steveo:

good kirchherr obit at nytimes

1:44pm common:

Hello joe and everyone

1:44pm Speck:

Great show today, Joe!!

1:45pm dave wuz here:

tasty sf sorrow . nice

1:45pm coelacanth∅:

the original rolling stones guitarist here

1:45pm coelacanth∅:

d'oh! -nope, this is live on wfmu!

1:47pm Mike Sin:

Seeing the Pretty Things for the first time in late '90s was quite an eye-opener. Of course, we were all looking forward to hear their early Fontana hard R&B sides live, but those were records that essentially just captured live performances. But when they performed the SF Sorrow material... wow... they were right on. The layered harmonies and textures were great!

1:47pm coelacanth∅:

...actually Joe do you know if Dick Taylor was with them on Diane's show?

1:48pm David in London:

Great live Pretties there. Thanks Joe.

1:48pm coelacanth∅:

Thanks

1:51pm Mike Sin:

re: Electric Banana

The Pretty Things recording for the DeWolfe music for film library. They were already under another contract, so they could not use their name.

1:53pm Doug in JC:

Great show today! Checking during an expedition to beautiful Bayonne

1:54pm Joe B:

dick taylor is on that. it is the sf sorrow lineup

1:57pm Joe B:

thanks mike!

👻

1:59pm David Shortell:

I saw the Holly Golightly/Dan Melchior combo play in Red Bank's Black Cat Records store in 1999. When I mentioned this to her in Belmar two years ago, she had forgotten. She thought I was referring to the Black Cat club in D.C.!

2:04pm Planet Tyler:

"There's no fire in your kiss" ... that's intense

2:04pm coelacanth∅:

...i've never seen these movies, but songs by the pretty things, incognito (as "electric banana") are in dawn of the dead, green death (doctor who), and what's good for the goose...and apparently some soft-core porn!

2:06pm Carmichael:

The Dogg ...

2:08pm David in London:

Coela, Dr Who and The Green Death was a flashbulb moment of my childhood. It went down in family lore for the giant toxic-pollution created maggots. And later for The Pretty Things. It was the gift that kept on giving...

2:09pm Mike Sin:

@coelacanth∅: re: "What's Good for the Goose"

The Pretty Things not only provide music, but they appear in the film playing in the club.

2:12pm Handy Haversack:

Absolutely seminal Dr Who episode. Jon Pertwee will always be my Doctor. Jo Grant! You're too good for him, Jo!

2:13pm coelacanth∅:

Mike really! now i have to find a clip of that Thanks!

David i confess i've seen only 5-10 doctor who episodes, all within the past 2 years. is green death a feature film?

2:14pm Dennis Diken:

diggin' it Joe baby!

2:14pm coelacanth∅:

(Handy answered that question)

2:19pm steveo:

Handy I know a secret about you, and well, now it also applies to me!

2:19pm David in London:

Coela, no it was a regular weekly transmission. But there was something particularly cold and unsettling about that particular story. History hasn’t been particularly kind to the giant fly effect at the end (1973 effects technology on a budget of £3.47), but as Handy says, it’s still amazingly good overall.

2:24pm jillydg:

Hi Joe! I kid you not, I was just saying to myself I'm enjoying this show but it is going WAY TOO FAST.

2:26pm Handy Haversack:

Joe, don't worry -- this time at home has been revealing to those of us who did not value tech updates and staying current as long as we could kludge along enough functionality for regular life -- relying on work and, for you, the station, for having dealt with our needs there. No regrets!

Though I am pretty glad I now have this 50' Ethernet cable that lets me work outside while listening to the show.

Which IS going by way too fast!

2:27pm coelacanth∅:

David i'll say i really liked the episodes i've seen (all within the last few doctors though)

2:31pm Tim 07030:

This is great, but I keep expecting Steve to start singing about baseball!

2:33pm Bobsmart567:

What Berlin song does this sound like again?

2:33pm Carmichael:

I tried to watch Dr. Who, but it never stuck with me.

2:35pm Woo:

Bobsmart, it's Sex (I'm a...) by Berlin. They steal it well.

2:36pm bobsmart567:

Ah, yes. Thanks, Woo. ...and I agree!

👻

2:37pm David Shortell:

Had I not instantly recognized the lyrics, I never would've guessed the Rain Parade were covering that song.

2:41pm Handy Haversack:

The seventies and eighties Dr Who eps. were on our public TV affiliate when I was a kid, and those really were formative for me -- and then I read all the novelizations of them (imported through Seacaucus, the second town in NJ that I knew of, because of the Dr. Who novels!) -- I even spent my woodshop projects building shelves for those books.

I liked the earlier new series, but it got to be a little ... I don't know, high adventure? High drama? For my taste, I guess. At least, I stopped keeping up with it some time before or around Peter Capaldi's taking over the TARDIS.

But Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison is a major touchstone for me, with more attenuated connections fore and aft.

2:41pm Todd-o-phonic Todd:

Great new track from Scott!

2:45pm Steve Harsh:

Scott McC and Joe B - the best best!!!

2:45pm Miss V:

Great show, JOE!! making my work from home job fly by!

👻

2:47pm Frank In Queens:

Great show, Joe! Thanks as always!

2:49pm Dungaroos Kipawah:

Joe, you’ve been hittin’ the sweet spot for the whole run today. Just a big bowl of good

2:51pm David in London:

Hot rocking tonight Joe, thanks.

👻

2:51pm James in ATL:

What a great show! Thanks for all the new music. Good luck with the fridge. Thanks Joe!

2:52pm steveo:

Super show today, thanks, Joe!

2:52pm Handy Haversack:

Don't wind it down, Joe! Sounds so good!

Thanks for another wonderful show today, Joe. Thanks, Ske[l]chele! Dungaroos K nailed it -- this was just great.

Take it easy, Montebanks!

2:54pm Mister Dobalina:

Love the Glass Candy version of this song.

2:56pm normanbasch:

Tom Tom!

2:56pm radioronan:

Great show - Thanks, Joe! Thanks skeleton crew!

2:57pm Ike:

I would not have expected to see a Dr. Who discussion here. Used to be my favorite show, all the way up through Peter Capaldi. The writer who took over after that has completely tanked it despite good actors. It's an even bigger, more crazy flaming trainwreck than the end of Game of Thrones.

2:57pm efd:

great show Joe! Thanks Michele!

2:58pm Joe B:

thanks everyone! thanks Michele and Skeletors!

2:58pm efd:

oh hey @radioronan, if you see this - thanks for the kind words on my playlist last week about the WBCN event! Didn't have a chance to reply to you then!

2:58pm Carmichael:

Michele, thanks!!

👻

2:58pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Yes, thanks Joe and Skeleton Michele!

2:58pm coelacanth∅:

Great program Joe Thanks! Thanks Michele!

2:59pm David in London:

Ike, you and my son certainly agree on that.
