Listener comments!
	9:02am duke: Happy etc. Everyone
	9:02am braveness23: happy, happy, happy! Boing! Boing! Boing!
	9:04am braveness23: oh, I forgot to say "B23 here!"
	9:06am common: happy boings!
	9:07am kat330: Happy Boxing Day, Joe, Duke braveness23 and common! This is an unusual opportunity for me to be on your list, Joe.
	9:08am Joe McG: Happy boxing day, kat! Hello duke, common, braveness23! I hope some or all of you don't have to work today.
	9:10am kat330: I'm always working, more or less, from home. Just finished a couple hours of housecleaning so can relax but gas it up with some McGasko while I do more sedentary work. :)
	9:11am listener james from westwood: good morning, joe and all! no! work! til monday!
	9:12am Joe McG: @kat: I'm told that my show is great for sedentary work especially! Hey, james!
	9:12am kat330: Hey, James! Hope your yesterday (and all days before) were very merry.
	9:12am braveness23: 'Work' is such a strong word, don't you think? Let's just say I at the office (or the 'orifice', as I like to call it).
	9:13am Joe McG: True, the nice thing about working during a week when everyone else is out is that, well, it's so much nicer!
	9:15am braveness23: Oh I wish everyone else was out for the rest of the week. I am surrounded by people who think that by paddling harder you actually get somewhere desirable.
	9:15am kat330: Yeah, Philo opted to work w/ just 2 others (out of around 75) today, tomorrow and Monday. Saves vacation days he'd otherwise be forced to use, and so much nicer for him to start and leave earlier plus the relaxed atmosphere.
	9:18am Cheri Pi: Ahhh it feels good to be back home (aka the comment board)
	9:19am kat330: Fluid? Muffler? You really ARE gassing up this machine w/ some mighty fine funk, Joe! :)
	👻 9:19am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Some of us is working on the morrow. Making some fruit salad right now. Good sounds. Nothing less than expected.
	9:19am kat330: Happy Boxing Day, Brian!
	9:21am Joe McG: @Kat: Big :). Cheri Pi with that happy avatar, so nice. Hey Brian! What's in the fruit salad for B-Day?
	9:22am common: happy boxing day, kat. sorry, late on the draw cuz i, too, am working like a jerk. oh well. music is good!
	9:23am kat330: @common: :)
	9:29am earrie: Fluffy, puffy, snowy good morning. Boxing Day's got relaxed-stretch written all over it.
	9:30am kat330: Gimme Monae, Monae is all I want
	9:38am KP: Good morning, Joe
	9:41am common: let us rock! lettuce rock!
	9:41am kat330: Gassed up and now ready to roll.
	9:47am KP: We like Warm Soda
	9:50am Joe McG: Hey, KP! Glad you're enjoying the lettuce rock!
	10:02am Sem Chumbo: Making Boxing Day brunch is cutting into my quality time with Joe. Gonna have to get to the archive for the first hour. Good morning, all.
	10:04am kat330: An Albanian brunch?
	10:04am KP: Was listening to a French pop comp you suggested on our drive down to Alexandria. Really breaks it up
	10:05am common: clicky!
	10:05am Joe McG: Hey, Sem! @KP: Tres chic?
	👻 10:08am Brian in UK: Got sidetracked. Happy Boxing Day Kat. Usual fruit apples, melon, pineapple, kiwi, plums, oranges etc. No grapefuit. Hmmm.
	10:09am Sem Chumbo: @kat33: very funny. Seriously, "The Cursed Mountain" is an amazing travel book about Albania which every New Albanian should read.
	10:09am common: and again with the click!
	10:09am earrie: This is a song to get lost in paradise to; sounds ah.
	👻 10:10am Brian in UK: There will be Christmas pudding ice-cream later.
	10:10am kat330: @Sem: Well, but why not? I made a really fine Moroccan meal on Christmas Eve eve (Chicken Tagine). :)
	10:12am Joe McG: @kat: Yum! @earrie: So good I had to hear it twice.
	10:13am Cecile: Hello, Joe, whaddaya know?
	10:14am Joe McG: Hey, Cecile! I know that it's always nice to see a Verlaines reissue!
	10:14am kat330: @Joe: Food discussions, yeah, now we're cooking w/ gas. ;) I made my own ras el hanout spice for the tagine. Philo claimed it was his fave meal of mine in the latter half of 2013.
	10:14am Cecile: I have a couple of Verlaines EPs/singles. Don't know this song, though.
	10:15am Cecile: I WAY prefer this to the stuff after Hallelujah. They kind of became a legend in their own mind.
	10:16am Sem Chumbo: @kat330: Spent two Decembers in Morocco.The food! Thanks for the Proustian rush.
	10:17am kat330: @Brian: In your punctuation, you mean pudding flavored ice cream, or Christmas pudding + ice cream?
	10:18am kat330: @Sem: of tastes and smells remembered, yes! I only spent a total of 4 days in Morocco myself, but quite an eventful and memorable 4 days.
	10:18am Sem Chumbo: @kat:This Christmas I've been giving people homemade preserved lemon, speaking of Moroccan cooking. Tried it?
	10:19am Cecile: And Juvenilia isn't from 1984 - it's actually the name of a Flying Nun comp that came out in 87 and was reissued in 88 by Homestead over here. I, of course, never got my shit together to buy either. It is all their 84-85 stuff though.
	10:20am Cecile: Sem, I've had Afghan preserved lemon in their lemonade. It is the color of iced tea and amazing.
	10:20am Joe McG: @Cecile: My dates are always the original dates for the music, whenever I can find it. I have the original LP on Homestead.
	10:20am Sam: "I went upstairs for a much needed piss, and when I came back down she was kissing Joe" Great line!
	10:21am Cecile: Nice! You are one up on me.
	10:22am Cecile: I got Ron Burgundy's autobiography for Christmas. It is pretty insane.
	10:22am kat330: @Sem: Actually that preserved lemon was an optional ingredient in a couple different recipes I used as my guideline. But no, didn't make / include.
	10:22am kat330: Joe, this has been a quite nice set.
	10:23am Irene Trudel: Kitchen Cynics! I love Alan's songs. Nice version of "The Place You Hid" too. Great show this morning in general, Joe!
	10:24am kat330: H'Irene! Happy Boxing Day (whether you celebrate it or not ;)!
	10:24am Joe McG: Thanks, kat! @Sam: That fella from the Kitchen Cynics writes some really terrific lyrics. @Irene: Alan, yes! I saw that you were thanked on the CD, Irene!
	10:24am Cecile: Irene, I still have to thank you for turning me on to Clare and The Reasons. I don't normally like music like that, but they are pretty singular and talented.
	10:25am Sem Chumbo: @kat: worth taking 10 minutes and having some on hand:)
	10:25am KP: There's Hope, Joe
	10:26am kat330: OK, for my next go-round then. Still have plenty of the ras el hanout for tagine in 2014.
	10:27am Joe McG: @KP: I'm hoping!
	10:27am Cecile: Are the Servants a new group, or is this a reissue?
	10:28am Joe McG: @Cecile: Old Cherry Red folks, second LP never came out (this one!).
	10:31am Cecile: Oh, ok. Wow, the benefit of time is really cool. We young uns in the 80s were privy to a lot of garage rock and soul unknown to most at the time through reissues, and you guys are finding a ton of indie rock and alt-pop I never knew existed and I was buying a shitload of records at the time.
	10:32am Cecile: I mean 60s garage rock and soul.
	10:37am dale: the problem with 90s singles is that they were usually cd singles. still a biggish hole, i spose
	10:37am Joe McG: @Cecile: Yeah, it's a banner time to be alive for cool reissues of all kinds. 2013 was a great year for music, even if a lot of it was old!
	10:38am Cecile: they were, dale, but then you had people like Sympathy, Sub Pop and In The Red putting out great vinyl singles. Remember cassingles?
	10:38am Cheri Pi: Captured Tracks have captured my wallet for 2013. Cecile didja see that Goner reissued 3 Cosmic Psychos LPs?
	10:39am Cecile: Joe, the amount of killer soul they are unearthing is ridiculous.
	10:39am Irene Trudel: Thanks @Cecile! Yeah, I really like what Clare and the Reasons do and I'm glad to have turned you (and everyone) on to them. @Joe, I didn't realize Alan had mentioned me. He's a really sweet guy and incredibly prolific. Lots of great stuff from Mr. Cynic. @kat, Happy Boxing Day to you and everyone too! Also, a happy birthday to @KP, a little birdy told me.
	10:40am kat330: Birthday, birthday happy, KP!
	10:41am Cecile: Cheri, I have the first one, but to me it doesn't take off until the last three songs. But it's been years since I listened to it. Is there a better one to check out?
	10:42am dale: is lou christie still out there? 'diary' is a great tear jerker. so is bread's 'diary'. i guess all songs about diaries are tearjerkers
	10:42am Brendan: Hi Joe, I just checked and yeah, its just like you said! I can either do or not do what Im going to do here at work.
	10:43am herb.nyc: hi joe, hi all. great LOU CHRISTIE song (he wrote? does lou christie write songs? is he related to JULIE CHRISTIE? hubba hubba.). i'm v.sure i heard ALEX CHILTON (r.i.p.) do this live, maybe at folk city (r.i.p.)
	10:43am Cecile: dale, I mean. Bread to me are one of the scariest bands ever. Their songs all sound like they are penned by a stalker.
	10:43am Joe McG: @Cecile: I agree! @Irene: Yes, you and Peter are both thanked on "Seasoning"! @KP: Happy birthday!! Hey Brendan and dale! I like songs about diaries, too. Hey Herb! It's a Tony Romeo song, the guy who was involved with the Partridges, among others.
	10:44am Cecile: Cheri, I sent you some rhubarb preserves.
	10:44am Brendan: The ramifications of this are great. I must let others know of this great thing called non work.
	10:45am Gildo-X: SORRY if I missed it... but hho playing in the background during during the last back announce?
	10:45am Chris from DC: Aw, missed the Kitchen Cynics.
	10:45am Nate K: Love that Pooh Sticks song. Morning, Joe.
	10:45am Cecile: In My Diary by the Moonglows is pretty sweet.
	10:47am Joe McG: Morning, Nate! @Gildo-X: That was Lyle Ritz from his LP "How About Uke?"
	10:47am herb.nyc: TONY ROMEO? sounds like a porn name; thanks for telling us, joe. and i missed THE SERVANTS earlier, but i (vaguely) recall their song "The Sun a Small Star" (thanks to THE BIG TAKEOVER mag). and DISCO now is very welcome.
	10:47am Gildo-X: Geez where did I learn to type.... but who was playing in the background during during the last back announce?
	10:48am Cheri Pi: I can't speak for Go to the Hack, I've heard that it's not that great but I really enjoy their s/t LP. 2013 is a banner year for Down Under reissues for sure.
	10:48am Gildo-X: Thanks Joe!
	10:48am Cecile: Well, I should give it another listen, Pi.
	10:49am Joe McG: @Herb: Yes, those are the guys, the "Sun and Small Star" people. @Gildo: You bet!
	10:54am Cecile: If you ever wondered what 10cc and the Manhattan Transfer would sound like if they collaborated, it might sound a little something like this. Forced.
	10:55am braveness23: It's a real toe tapper
	10:55am Joe McG: A nice song about committing suicide
	10:55am braveness23: This is making me a little queasy
	10:56am Cecile: he's been around Milwaukee forever, and I've been avoiding him almost as long.
	10:56am Cecile: hahahaha, this Leyton Buzzerds is awesome. Anti the Wall!
	10:57am kat330: OK, gotta use my hands otherwise now. Thanks, Joe, for all the sounds heard already and those still to come for another hour!
	10:57am Cheri Pi: WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
	10:57am Joe McG: You bet, kat! Thanks so much for droppin' by!
	10:58am Cheri Pi: They're a band after my own heart.
	10:58am Mike Sin: I'm enjoying your show today, Joe. I hope you had a swell Xmas.
	10:59am Joe McG: Thanks, Mike! Sorry no Xmas CD this year. I didn't finish it. Hope you had a great one!
	11:03am Cheri Pi: Joe, you sound smooth as butter
	11:03am efd: Hey Joe! You sound normal.
	11:03am Cecile: Joe, you sound fine.
	11:03am earrie: Fine levels.
	11:03am efd: Although I'm listening at home, instead of at work like I usually do, so "normal" is relative.
	11:04am duke: Joe you sound normal. We're all normal and we want our freedom.
	11:04am herb.nyc: YES, smooth as chunky peanut butter (haha, HEARTY WHITE had a great butter / toast line, on monday 3pm)
	11:05am Gildo-X: Joe, you're Lima Charlie, 5 x 5
	11:05am dale: you sound perfect over the mt. hope induced radiola.
	11:06am Irene Trudel: Joe, you're sounding just fine. I'll call you after you're off mic to see if I can help.
	11:06am earrie: Meters must be measuring non-dj, 'Abby'.
	11:07am Carmichael: Joe, thought I'd amble in to work by myself this morning and goof off!
	11:10am god: Joe maybe pull out the high end, im getting some hiss back in the 9K Khz spectrum
	👻 11:12am Brian in UK: @Kat ice cream made from Christmas pudding.
	11:12am Joe McG: Thanks, Irene! Thanks, god!
	11:16am Carmichael: Now THIS Sensations song gets clicky starred, as many times as the law will allow!
	11:18am Carmichael: They were probably killed because they were riding the storm out.
	11:19am Joe McG: @Carm: Ha ha!
	11:20am Brendan: 5 men wore kilts today?
	👻 11:20am Brian in UK: What do you folks eat with chili whan you make it at home?
	11:21am Chris from DC: So I've heard Foreigner, Heart, and REO Speedwagon on FMU this week.
	11:21am Brendan: Tortilla chis are pretty good, otherwise bread
	11:21am braveness23: we put it over pasta with lots of diced onion and shredded cheddar cheese... and tons of Franks hot sauce.
	👻 11:21am Brian in UK: 'Is there anything worn under the kilt?' 'No, it's all in perfect working order'
	11:22am Joe McG: @Chris: Classic Rock Radio is alive and well here at WFMU.
	11:22am sinister dexter: beer
	11:23am Brendan: Yeah beer
	👻 11:24am Brian in UK: Thanks, we have rice for some reason. And beer. Normally add chocolate to the mix and more homemade chili relish at the end.
	11:24am braveness23: This is like church!
	👻 11:26am Brian in UK: Love the name 'Superior Viaduct'. Better than 'Leaky Aquaduct'
	11:26am Joe McG: @braveness: Church...in space!
	👻 11:26am Brian in UK: @Joe. Seen Gravity yet?
	11:29am Joe McG: @Brian: No, not yet, but I'm excited about Sandra Bullock in space.
	11:31am dale: re paul nelson - now i got a jones to hear jarre's equinox. damn you joe!
	11:32am Joe McG: @dale: Ha ha!
	👻 11:33am Ken From Hyde Park: Is Vortex 2 derived from the tune from the Midnight Express movie?
	11:34am Brendan: This sounds like good music to fly a space ship to
	11:35am Joe McG: @Ken: Not that I know of, but it certainly sounds reminiscent of that!
	11:36am Joe McG: @Brendan: Well, the movie this music was associated with certainly involved...uh...rockets!
	11:37am Cecile: Brian, I eat chili with rice or elbow macaroni. Sour cream and avocado are nice on top.
	11:37am TinMan: This is what robots listen to when they do it
	11:38am braveness23: This sounds straight off of Zoolook
	11:39am Sem Chumbo: Mirror ball now spinning in the darkened living room, reflecting coloured laser nights everywhere. Thanks a lot, Joe.
	11:39am dale: i was disappointed when klaus schulze did transfer station blue stuff. dumbed it down for me.
	11:41am Joe McG: @Sem: Glad to be at your disco service.
	11:42am Carmichael: I thought this was the Flying Lizards.
	11:42am earrie: @Cecile ! Chili with macaroni! There's a long-lost dish. Aka 'beef-a-roni' where I'm from.
	11:44am Joe McG: Oh, earrie, I have to say that beef-a-roni is one of my least fondly remembered meals from childhood!
	11:47am Carmichael: Sounds like lotsa yous prefer the Cincinnati chili style, aka chili and some kinda pasta. Out here, it's just a big bowl of chili, with some cheddar, onions, avocado and perhaps sour cream. and some Habanero Sunshine to kick it up a notch.
	11:50am Ike: Back at work! Hey folks.
	11:50am common: solaris is so great!
	11:50am Chef Boyardee: Hi Kids! Who wants some canned spaghetti and meatballs?!
	11:52am Joe McG: @CB: Now THAT stuff, I used to like. I tried it a couple years ago out of curiosity and wondered how I ever ate it. So sweet!
	11:52am earrie: it was school-lunch cooked in Bulk.
	11:53am Wendy's: We serve chili with hamburger meat...and the occasional severed finger.
	11:53am dale: the st. jude song was fantastic
	11:54am Dinty Moore: My beef stew smells better than it tastes
	11:55am duke: Q: What kind of car would Jesus drive? A: A Honda, because it says in Acts: On the day of Pentecost they were all of one accord.
	11:55am Fred's Fill Dirt and Croissant: Now serving your backfill and fancy French pastry needs. Step right up.
	11:56am Brendan: Joe thanks for today
	👻 11:56am Brian in UK: The Honda Quaalude, my kind of car.
	11:56am Joe McG: Thanks for listening, everybody! I hope you all have a Happy New Year's Day. See you the day after.
	11:56am Ike: I need to thank my parents for NEVER feeding me Chef Boyardee. Gross. They did feed me those hot dogs with cheese filling a few times though, and also scrapple.
	11:57am Joe McG: Scrapple! Now that brings back memories! :S
	11:57am dale: 'member the bewitched episode where endora turns darin into a snotty little boy and he suggests to the stew company owner to rebrand the stew as dog food?
	11:57am Sem Chumbo: Great sounds, Joe. Much appreciated here by all.
	11:58am TR in MI: Crazy. Like Tubes meets Firesign Theatre meets country
	11:58am dale: i would think jesus would drive a car that runs on water
	👻 11:58am Brian in UK: Thanks for the healthy eating tips, folks. Adios amigos.
	👻 11:59am Ken From Hyde Park: To stretch her household food budget dollar, my mom would make us Kraft pizzas and use cut-up hot dogs for the topping. Usually on Sunday nights when Disney was on.
	12:01pm Cecile: Real home-cooked chili mac is tasty. Beef-a-roni is dreadful.

	9:15am braveness23: Oh I wish everyone else was out for the rest of the week. I am surrounded by people who think that by paddling harder you actually get somewhere desirable.
	9:15am kat330: Yeah, Philo opted to work w/ just 2 others (out of around 75) today, tomorrow and Monday. Saves vacation days he'd otherwise be forced to use, and so much nicer for him to start and leave earlier plus the relaxed atmosphere.
	9:18am Cheri Pi: Ahhh it feels good to be back home (aka the comment board)
	9:19am kat330: Fluid? Muffler? You really ARE gassing up this machine w/ some mighty fine funk, Joe! :)
	👻 9:19am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Some of us is working on the morrow. Making some fruit salad right now. Good sounds. Nothing less than expected.
	9:19am kat330: Happy Boxing Day, Brian!
	9:21am Joe McG: @Kat: Big :). Cheri Pi with that happy avatar, so nice. Hey Brian! What's in the fruit salad for B-Day?
	9:22am common: happy boxing day, kat. sorry, late on the draw cuz i, too, am working like a jerk. oh well. music is good!
	9:23am kat330: @common: :)
	9:29am earrie: Fluffy, puffy, snowy good morning. Boxing Day's got relaxed-stretch written all over it.
	9:30am kat330: Gimme Monae, Monae is all I want
	9:38am KP: Good morning, Joe
	9:41am common: let us rock! lettuce rock!
	9:41am kat330: Gassed up and now ready to roll.
	9:47am KP: We like Warm Soda
	9:50am Joe McG: Hey, KP! Glad you're enjoying the lettuce rock!
	10:02am Sem Chumbo: Making Boxing Day brunch is cutting into my quality time with Joe. Gonna have to get to the archive for the first hour. Good morning, all.
	10:04am kat330: An Albanian brunch?
	10:04am KP: Was listening to a French pop comp you suggested on our drive down to Alexandria. Really breaks it up
	10:05am common: clicky!
	10:05am Joe McG: Hey, Sem! @KP: Tres chic?
	👻 10:08am Brian in UK: Got sidetracked. Happy Boxing Day Kat. Usual fruit apples, melon, pineapple, kiwi, plums, oranges etc. No grapefuit. Hmmm.
	10:09am Sem Chumbo: @kat33: very funny. Seriously, "The Cursed Mountain" is an amazing travel book about Albania which every New Albanian should read.
	10:09am common: and again with the click!
	10:09am earrie: This is a song to get lost in paradise to; sounds ah.
	👻 10:10am Brian in UK: There will be Christmas pudding ice-cream later.
	10:10am kat330: @Sem: Well, but why not? I made a really fine Moroccan meal on Christmas Eve eve (Chicken Tagine). :)
	10:12am Joe McG: @kat: Yum! @earrie: So good I had to hear it twice.
	10:13am Cecile: Hello, Joe, whaddaya know?
	10:14am Joe McG: Hey, Cecile! I know that it's always nice to see a Verlaines reissue!
	10:14am kat330: @Joe: Food discussions, yeah, now we're cooking w/ gas. ;) I made my own ras el hanout spice for the tagine. Philo claimed it was his fave meal of mine in the latter half of 2013.
	10:14am Cecile: I have a couple of Verlaines EPs/singles. Don't know this song, though.
	10:15am Cecile: I WAY prefer this to the stuff after Hallelujah. They kind of became a legend in their own mind.
	10:16am Sem Chumbo: @kat330: Spent two Decembers in Morocco.The food! Thanks for the Proustian rush.
	10:17am kat330: @Brian: In your punctuation, you mean pudding flavored ice cream, or Christmas pudding + ice cream?
	10:18am kat330: @Sem: of tastes and smells remembered, yes! I only spent a total of 4 days in Morocco myself, but quite an eventful and memorable 4 days.
	10:18am Sem Chumbo: @kat:This Christmas I've been giving people homemade preserved lemon, speaking of Moroccan cooking. Tried it?
	10:19am Cecile: And Juvenilia isn't from 1984 - it's actually the name of a Flying Nun comp that came out in 87 and was reissued in 88 by Homestead over here. I, of course, never got my shit together to buy either. It is all their 84-85 stuff though.
	10:20am Cecile: Sem, I've had Afghan preserved lemon in their lemonade. It is the color of iced tea and amazing.
	10:20am Joe McG: @Cecile: My dates are always the original dates for the music, whenever I can find it. I have the original LP on Homestead.
	10:20am Sam: "I went upstairs for a much needed piss, and when I came back down she was kissing Joe" Great line!
	10:21am Cecile: Nice! You are one up on me.
	10:22am Cecile: I got Ron Burgundy's autobiography for Christmas. It is pretty insane.
	10:22am kat330: @Sem: Actually that preserved lemon was an optional ingredient in a couple different recipes I used as my guideline. But no, didn't make / include.
	10:22am kat330: Joe, this has been a quite nice set.
	10:23am Irene Trudel: Kitchen Cynics! I love Alan's songs. Nice version of "The Place You Hid" too. Great show this morning in general, Joe!
	10:24am kat330: H'Irene! Happy Boxing Day (whether you celebrate it or not ;)!
	10:24am Joe McG: Thanks, kat! @Sam: That fella from the Kitchen Cynics writes some really terrific lyrics. @Irene: Alan, yes! I saw that you were thanked on the CD, Irene!
	10:24am Cecile: Irene, I still have to thank you for turning me on to Clare and The Reasons. I don't normally like music like that, but they are pretty singular and talented.
	10:25am Sem Chumbo: @kat: worth taking 10 minutes and having some on hand:)
	10:25am KP: There's Hope, Joe
	10:26am kat330: OK, for my next go-round then. Still have plenty of the ras el hanout for tagine in 2014.
	10:27am Joe McG: @KP: I'm hoping!
	10:27am Cecile: Are the Servants a new group, or is this a reissue?
	10:28am Joe McG: @Cecile: Old Cherry Red folks, second LP never came out (this one!).
	10:31am Cecile: Oh, ok. Wow, the benefit of time is really cool. We young uns in the 80s were privy to a lot of garage rock and soul unknown to most at the time through reissues, and you guys are finding a ton of indie rock and alt-pop I never knew existed and I was buying a shitload of records at the time.
	10:32am Cecile: I mean 60s garage rock and soul.
	10:37am dale: the problem with 90s singles is that they were usually cd singles. still a biggish hole, i spose
	10:37am Joe McG: @Cecile: Yeah, it's a banner time to be alive for cool reissues of all kinds. 2013 was a great year for music, even if a lot of it was old!
	10:38am Cecile: they were, dale, but then you had people like Sympathy, Sub Pop and In The Red putting out great vinyl singles. Remember cassingles?
	10:38am Cheri Pi: Captured Tracks have captured my wallet for 2013. Cecile didja see that Goner reissued 3 Cosmic Psychos LPs?
	10:39am Cecile: Joe, the amount of killer soul they are unearthing is ridiculous.
	10:39am Irene Trudel: Thanks @Cecile! Yeah, I really like what Clare and the Reasons do and I'm glad to have turned you (and everyone) on to them. @Joe, I didn't realize Alan had mentioned me. He's a really sweet guy and incredibly prolific. Lots of great stuff from Mr. Cynic. @kat, Happy Boxing Day to you and everyone too! Also, a happy birthday to @KP, a little birdy told me.
	10:40am kat330: Birthday, birthday happy, KP!
	10:41am Cecile: Cheri, I have the first one, but to me it doesn't take off until the last three songs. But it's been years since I listened to it. Is there a better one to check out?
	10:42am dale: is lou christie still out there? 'diary' is a great tear jerker. so is bread's 'diary'. i guess all songs about diaries are tearjerkers
	10:42am Brendan: Hi Joe, I just checked and yeah, its just like you said! I can either do or not do what Im going to do here at work.
	10:43am herb.nyc: hi joe, hi all. great LOU CHRISTIE song (he wrote? does lou christie write songs? is he related to JULIE CHRISTIE? hubba hubba.). i'm v.sure i heard ALEX CHILTON (r.i.p.) do this live, maybe at folk city (r.i.p.)
	10:43am Cecile: dale, I mean. Bread to me are one of the scariest bands ever. Their songs all sound like they are penned by a stalker.
	10:43am Joe McG: @Cecile: I agree! @Irene: Yes, you and Peter are both thanked on "Seasoning"! @KP: Happy birthday!! Hey Brendan and dale! I like songs about diaries, too. Hey Herb! It's a Tony Romeo song, the guy who was involved with the Partridges, among others.
	10:44am Cecile: Cheri, I sent you some rhubarb preserves.
	10:44am Brendan: The ramifications of this are great. I must let others know of this great thing called non work.
	10:45am Gildo-X: SORRY if I missed it... but hho playing in the background during during the last back announce?
	10:45am Chris from DC: Aw, missed the Kitchen Cynics.
	10:45am Nate K: Love that Pooh Sticks song. Morning, Joe.
	10:45am Cecile: In My Diary by the Moonglows is pretty sweet.
	10:47am Joe McG: Morning, Nate! @Gildo-X: That was Lyle Ritz from his LP "How About Uke?"
	10:47am herb.nyc: TONY ROMEO? sounds like a porn name; thanks for telling us, joe. and i missed THE SERVANTS earlier, but i (vaguely) recall their song "The Sun a Small Star" (thanks to THE BIG TAKEOVER mag). and DISCO now is very welcome.
	10:47am Gildo-X: Geez where did I learn to type.... but who was playing in the background during during the last back announce?
	10:48am Cheri Pi: I can't speak for Go to the Hack, I've heard that it's not that great but I really enjoy their s/t LP. 2013 is a banner year for Down Under reissues for sure.
	10:48am Gildo-X: Thanks Joe!
	10:48am Cecile: Well, I should give it another listen, Pi.
	10:49am Joe McG: @Herb: Yes, those are the guys, the "Sun and Small Star" people. @Gildo: You bet!
	10:54am Cecile: If you ever wondered what 10cc and the Manhattan Transfer would sound like if they collaborated, it might sound a little something like this. Forced.
	10:55am braveness23: It's a real toe tapper
	10:55am Joe McG: A nice song about committing suicide
	10:55am braveness23: This is making me a little queasy
	10:56am Cecile: he's been around Milwaukee forever, and I've been avoiding him almost as long.
	10:56am Cecile: hahahaha, this Leyton Buzzerds is awesome. Anti the Wall!
	10:57am kat330: OK, gotta use my hands otherwise now. Thanks, Joe, for all the sounds heard already and those still to come for another hour!
	10:57am Cheri Pi: WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
	10:57am Joe McG: You bet, kat! Thanks so much for droppin' by!
	10:58am Cheri Pi: They're a band after my own heart.
	10:58am Mike Sin: I'm enjoying your show today, Joe. I hope you had a swell Xmas.
	10:59am Joe McG: Thanks, Mike! Sorry no Xmas CD this year. I didn't finish it. Hope you had a great one!
	11:03am Cheri Pi: Joe, you sound smooth as butter
	11:03am efd: Hey Joe! You sound normal.
	11:03am Cecile: Joe, you sound fine.
	11:03am earrie: Fine levels.
	11:03am efd: Although I'm listening at home, instead of at work like I usually do, so "normal" is relative.
	11:04am duke: Joe you sound normal. We're all normal and we want our freedom.
	11:04am herb.nyc: YES, smooth as chunky peanut butter (haha, HEARTY WHITE had a great butter / toast line, on monday 3pm)
	11:05am Gildo-X: Joe, you're Lima Charlie, 5 x 5
	11:05am dale: you sound perfect over the mt. hope induced radiola.
	11:06am Irene Trudel: Joe, you're sounding just fine. I'll call you after you're off mic to see if I can help.
	11:06am earrie: Meters must be measuring non-dj, 'Abby'.
	11:07am Carmichael: Joe, thought I'd amble in to work by myself this morning and goof off!
	11:10am god: Joe maybe pull out the high end, im getting some hiss back in the 9K Khz spectrum
	👻 11:12am Brian in UK: @Kat ice cream made from Christmas pudding.
	11:12am Joe McG: Thanks, Irene! Thanks, god!
	11:16am Carmichael: Now THIS Sensations song gets clicky starred, as many times as the law will allow!
	11:18am Carmichael: They were probably killed because they were riding the storm out.
	11:19am Joe McG: @Carm: Ha ha!
	11:20am Brendan: 5 men wore kilts today?
	👻 11:20am Brian in UK: What do you folks eat with chili whan you make it at home?
	11:21am Chris from DC: So I've heard Foreigner, Heart, and REO Speedwagon on FMU this week.
	11:21am Brendan: Tortilla chis are pretty good, otherwise bread
	11:21am braveness23: we put it over pasta with lots of diced onion and shredded cheddar cheese... and tons of Franks hot sauce.
	👻 11:21am Brian in UK: 'Is there anything worn under the kilt?' 'No, it's all in perfect working order'
	11:22am Joe McG: @Chris: Classic Rock Radio is alive and well here at WFMU.
	11:22am sinister dexter: beer
	11:23am Brendan: Yeah beer
	👻 11:24am Brian in UK: Thanks, we have rice for some reason. And beer. Normally add chocolate to the mix and more homemade chili relish at the end.
	11:24am braveness23: This is like church!
	👻 11:26am Brian in UK: Love the name 'Superior Viaduct'. Better than 'Leaky Aquaduct'
	11:26am Joe McG: @braveness: Church...in space!
	👻 11:26am Brian in UK: @Joe. Seen Gravity yet?
	11:29am Joe McG: @Brian: No, not yet, but I'm excited about Sandra Bullock in space.
	11:31am dale: re paul nelson - now i got a jones to hear jarre's equinox. damn you joe!
	11:32am Joe McG: @dale: Ha ha!
	👻 11:33am Ken From Hyde Park: Is Vortex 2 derived from the tune from the Midnight Express movie?
	11:34am Brendan: This sounds like good music to fly a space ship to
	11:35am Joe McG: @Ken: Not that I know of, but it certainly sounds reminiscent of that!
	11:36am Joe McG: @Brendan: Well, the movie this music was associated with certainly involved...uh...rockets!
	11:37am Cecile: Brian, I eat chili with rice or elbow macaroni. Sour cream and avocado are nice on top.
	11:37am TinMan: This is what robots listen to when they do it
	11:38am braveness23: This sounds straight off of Zoolook
	11:39am Sem Chumbo: Mirror ball now spinning in the darkened living room, reflecting coloured laser nights everywhere. Thanks a lot, Joe.
	11:39am dale: i was disappointed when klaus schulze did transfer station blue stuff. dumbed it down for me.
	11:41am Joe McG: @Sem: Glad to be at your disco service.
	11:42am Carmichael: I thought this was the Flying Lizards.
	11:42am earrie: @Cecile ! Chili with macaroni! There's a long-lost dish. Aka 'beef-a-roni' where I'm from.
	11:44am Joe McG: Oh, earrie, I have to say that beef-a-roni is one of my least fondly remembered meals from childhood!
	11:47am Carmichael: Sounds like lotsa yous prefer the Cincinnati chili style, aka chili and some kinda pasta. Out here, it's just a big bowl of chili, with some cheddar, onions, avocado and perhaps sour cream. and some Habanero Sunshine to kick it up a notch.
	11:50am Ike: Back at work! Hey folks.
	11:50am common: solaris is so great!
	11:50am Chef Boyardee: Hi Kids! Who wants some canned spaghetti and meatballs?!
	11:52am Joe McG: @CB: Now THAT stuff, I used to like. I tried it a couple years ago out of curiosity and wondered how I ever ate it. So sweet!
	11:52am earrie: it was school-lunch cooked in Bulk.
	11:53am Wendy's: We serve chili with hamburger meat...and the occasional severed finger.
	11:53am dale: the st. jude song was fantastic
	11:54am Dinty Moore: My beef stew smells better than it tastes
	11:55am duke: Q: What kind of car would Jesus drive? A: A Honda, because it says in Acts: On the day of Pentecost they were all of one accord.
	11:55am Fred's Fill Dirt and Croissant: Now serving your backfill and fancy French pastry needs. Step right up.
	11:56am Brendan: Joe thanks for today
	👻 11:56am Brian in UK: The Honda Quaalude, my kind of car.
	11:56am Joe McG: Thanks for listening, everybody! I hope you all have a Happy New Year's Day. See you the day after.
	11:56am Ike: I need to thank my parents for NEVER feeding me Chef Boyardee. Gross. They did feed me those hot dogs with cheese filling a few times though, and also scrapple.
	11:57am Joe McG: Scrapple! Now that brings back memories! :S
	11:57am dale: 'member the bewitched episode where endora turns darin into a snotty little boy and he suggests to the stew company owner to rebrand the stew as dog food?

	👻 11:59am Ken From Hyde Park: To stretch her household food budget dollar, my mom would make us Kraft pizzas and use cut-up hot dogs for the topping. Usually on Sunday nights when Disney was on.
