Listener comments!
	9:01am Handy Haversack: Joe and the Yipperines! Great day in the morning! I gotta go call a guy about a cat. Right back!
	👻 9:01am Marley P. Dogg: My yip on the shelf is keeping an eye out to see who is nice and who is not so nice
	9:01am Kay in Chi: yip!
	9:02am Doc Rock: Good morning Joe & all listeners.
	9:03am Deborah: Radio Radio!! Good Solstice morning.
	9:03am Strandlund: Good Morning Joe and all you Yippers all over the world!!
	9:04am melinda: howdy all!
	👻 9:04am yerfriendpaul: Good morning Joe! Good morning all!
	9:05am TDK60: Morning Monday Joe. Gene!
	👻 9:05am Ken From Hyde Park: Yip yip yip! Where's the polar vortex at?
	9:05am Corey: Morning Joe and gang! Don't know this version of Winter in. Nice way to usher in the new season!
	9:06am PaulRobeson1920: Yip yip yippe!
	9:06am Krys O.: Greetings!
	9:06am HyperDose: @Handy Sorry I missed your earlier reply. Thanks for the recs! I LOVED Color out of Space, it was very Alex Garland. The pacing of The Lodge was incredible. Very curious about Blood Quantum.
	9:07am Cal Zone!: Good morning McG!
	9:08am Mike tp: gumbs enjoying the selections
	👻 9:08am YETI BOB: On vacation this week, even more time to listen to the radio, hooray!
	9:09am Handy Haversack: We can think of the solstice as midwinter's day rather than the first day of winter -- makes spring seem a lot closer. @HyperDose, Blood Quantum is pretty brutal, visually and emotionally. I looked at some reviews afterward and found them mostly pretty facile and surface level. I think the outcomes of trauma and violence as played out in the movie go at least a couple of levels beyond where most reviewers stopped. Definitely worth watching. Does what horror movies should, I think. Hey, nice one, YB!
	👻 9:11am 12539: (Belated Boing Boing!)
	9:12am dale: joe - are you familiar with magna carta's 'seasons' album? amazing blondel's 'england?' wintry tunes there too.
	9:14am zivilars: Thanks for the show, Joe – has been quite a lot time since I catched it live and already realised after a few seconds what I've missed
	9:16am Joe McG: Hi, everyone, and welcome to the show! We're going to start a bit wintry and go from there. (dale: Yes, I think I've hit them both over the years!)
	9:16am Rick A.: Great vibe, Joe, this is a refreshing change from all of the hipster Christmas music played this weekend on the station. And you can't do much better than beginning with Gene Clark.
	9:17am JG: The new McCartney stuff is interesting
	9:17am Kpx: @melinda: I've Been resisting from doing this for a long time, but now I think I'll go for it, here goes. Hello youlinda, mekpx !. Well I got that out of my system for better or worse, there it is. don't mind me that's just my goofy sense of humor. So how's by you
	9:17am Handy Haversack: Did you hear the new Sairie tune that came out for winter, Joe?
	9:17am Yes: Lovely
	👻 9:17am yerfriendpaul: So good to hear Paul like this
	9:18am Woo: McCartney's voice sounds good.
	9:18am Joe McG: @Handy: Yes, I have it with me. Maybe this set if I work around to it! @Rick A.: Thanks!
	9:18am Mx. Granny (e/em): Greetings, Joe, and joyous solstice to all!
	9:19am Handy Haversack: I should never have doubted, Joe! Morning, Granny!
	9:19am Yes: Morning everyone
	9:21am Andrew_in_WI: Any George Winston coming up?
	9:21am Dennis Diken: good morning Joe and all! diggin'!
	9:21am Phillippe Bastille: Good morning everyone from dreary Annapolis!
	9:23am Joe McG: @Andrew: You know, I've never listened to his seasonal LPs. Ought to. G'morning, Dennis! @Granny: Killer karaoke, in case you're not tired of hearing it.
	9:24am Mike Sin: Hey Joe! So happy to catch your show today live! As a hater of Winter, I take solace in the concept that December 21 means the days are now getting longer!
	9:24am Ryansterlingvirtue: jarvis!
	9:24am Yes: David Berman :)
	9:25am Handy Haversack: Hi, Phillippe! Is Planet Tyler still around for some Jarvis? Sounding great.
	9:25am Yes: Pretty
	9:25am Joe McG: @Mike: Always nice to have you here. I know you're a beach bunny. I actually prefer this time of year, as weird as that sounds!
	9:25am TDK60: That was a fetching snowfall last Thursday. Diggin' the wynter segment.
	9:25am Buddha of Suburbia: Good morning gang! Morning Joe McG! I'm heading out soon. Just wanted to say "Hi"!
	9:26am Kevlicki: Hi Joe and all. I’ve been entertained by that new McCartney album. And this is an interesting version of snow is falling.
	9:26am Joe McG: Dedicating this song to you, Dennis: "It's coming down in smithereens..."
	9:27am bo: you go breakin' my heart, joe
	👻 9:27am waters7: Brrr, it’s cold out there
	9:28am HyperDose: @Handy So Blood Quantum has a Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead vibe to it? That's what I was hoping for. Going to watch it tonight!
	9:28am Phillippe Bastille: So did you procure that cat Handy?
	9:28am porchy: That’s a perty song
	9:28am Dennis Diken: thanks Joe! ha!
	9:28am geoff mcq: This is a most lovely set Joe. Thanks man.
	9:29am zivilars: so peaceful, love it
	👻 9:29am yerfriendpaul: Peace Piece is perfect!
	9:29am Joe McG: @bo: I couldn't if I tried! ;)
	9:29am Greg from ZONE 5: Happy SOULstice, Joe & all!
	9:29am djsheilab: Turned on my radio just in time for that exceptional segue! Just beautiful. Morning Joe!
	9:29am KlausVonB: One of NJ’s finest, Bill Evans. Thanks
	9:29am melinda: I dig Bill Evans
	9:30am Jeffrey Davison: You're killing it today, Joe, with this first set. Fantastic.
	9:30am Phoebe in Fanwood: Joe, this is such a beautiful set—I usually take off after Wake n Bake, but I haven’t been able to pull myself away!
	9:30am ishky: THANK YOU for Peace Piece. What a wonderful and needed surprise to hear.
	9:30am Handy Haversack: Never saw it, HyperDose! Adding to the list. Cat ear medicine resecured, Phillippe!
	9:30am dano59: Happy to celebrate the sun with music - a good way to trick the brain of the ancients with hope for something vs. the 30 in. of snow outside.
	9:31am Joe McG: Hey Geoff, Happy Christmas to you! Greg, Sheila, Jeff! Sorry I can't type all of your names, guys, I don't have the skills, but hello to you everyone listening and commenting this morning.
	9:32am pumaliontiger: Really loving this set!
	9:32am Woo: I dig Bill Evans. Everybody digs Bill Evans.
	9:32am Rev. Turnip Druid: WAH. Missed that Lindisfarne. Must punch self, with all due festive vibes of julehygge.... INNAFACE!
	9:32am Rev. Turnip Druid: also. Hello.
	9:32am kpx: I like this it heightens my general blue moodiness.
	9:34am Deborah: Very calm and winterish, although Paul Winter's(no pun intended) music seems synonymous with the beginning of this season.
	👻 9:34am yerfriendpaul: calm and chaos
	9:34am dano59: As much as i love piano blues and jazz, I must sadly admit i have no Bill Evans. This is so freaking lovely
	9:34am kpx: well it started off good, but then it went off in another direction. now it's coming back on track.
	9:34am Buddha of Suburbia: later folks! hope you have a great holiday!!!
	9:35am PKNY: Just bought this Khruangbin track after hearing it on a recent podcast, great version of my favorite holiday song
	👻 9:35am yerfriendpaul: Have a great one, Boods!
	9:35am TDK60: Later Buddha of up-there-a.
	9:36am Greg from ZONE 5: Just discovered these cats on bandcamp and have been thoroughly enjoying their stuff.
	9:37am dano59: Nice. I've been digging the Lucius version a la Carla Thomas
	👻 9:37am Webhamster Henry: Hi Surface Noisers!! That excellent wistful melancholic chord in "Christmas Time Is Here" is C13b9.
	9:38am Phoebe in Fanwood: I’m putting on a fresh pot of coffee, anyone wanna join me for baking cookies in our pjs?
	9:38am ishky: @PKNY same here. It popped up on my bandcamp feed and I bought it immediately. So groovy.
	9:38am porchy: Joe has forced me to delay backyard plans this morning - this is too solsticely heart warming to leave the house
	👻 9:39am Webhamster Henry: @Deborah we used to go to the Paul Winter solstice concerts at St. John the Divine for years.
	9:39am kpx: @Buddha: hope your holiday went well for you, have a peaceful day.
	9:40am Deborah: Oy! That song!
	👻 9:40am yerfriendpaul: @Phoebe - I'm out of morning mode and I just had some of Laurie's delicious banana bread but I always have room for cookies!
	9:41am Deborah: @Webhamster Henry: I did too! Missing my prepandemic life and music and art so much. Good holidays to you!
	9:43am Mx. Granny (e/em): @Joe, thanks! Karaoke was super fun! Handy did an outstanding performance, too! More! More!
	9:43am PKNY: @ishky - I like the dubby "Version Mary" take that Khruangbin did of "Christmas Time" as well
	9:44am Mike Sin: re: Steve Ashley First heard about this guy first in relation to Fairport Convention.
	9:45am Joe McG: @Granny: Yes, there were a lot of ringers there, I must say, speaking as a genuine non-singer!
	9:45am Phoebe in Fanwood: Myfriendpaul, sounds great to me! :)
	9:46am Mx. Granny (e/em): @Joe—don't forget your nose flute next time, and join in! :-)
	9:46am ratso: Good Morning, Joe, and all the rest of youse.
	👻 9:46am Webhamster Henry: Autoharp alert!
	9:46am Handy Haversack: Ah, nice Joe! Thanks for the kind words, Granny, but I'm just riding Kate's slipstream!
	9:47am Lee: Season's greetings to all Surface Noisers, thank you Joe for all the great shows this year, a very stabilizing presence through a turbulent time
	👻 9:47am YETI BOB: I'm not familiar with Sarie. Enjoying this track very much.
	👻 9:50am LastWhiteRhino: I'm no lyre when I says that I fancy the lute !!!
	9:51am Phoebe in Fanwood: I LOVE vashti Bunyan—as we all must, I think
	9:51am Mx. Granny (e/em): Handy Haversack: sounds better than riding Fred Lane's slipstream!
	👻 9:51am PortsmouthJay: Vashti has such a beautiful voice.
	9:52am audrey: Beautiful program this morning.. Thank you!
	9:52am Deborah: @Phoebe in Fanwood Vashti Bunyan is not played enough for many to recognize her music, I think. Good luck at end semester!
	👻 9:53am YETI BOB: Sairie, even. So unfamiliar I can't even spell it :)
	9:56am Son Of Pantz: @LastWhiteRhino Get the pluck out of here! ;)
	9:58am Kevlicki: Happy solstice all!
	9:59am Handy Haversack: @YB, Joe played every song from their EP over the course of the summer. The EP is great.
	9:59am Mike Sin: Trainspotting.... "Christmas Must Be Tonight" is on the Band's "Islands" from '77.
	9:59am seedfriend: Happy Wintr !
	👻 10:00am YETI BOB: @HH: It really hits a sweet spot. Somehow it didn't register with me when Joe played it previously, but I'm a fan now. Sometimes there's just too much good music all around me.
	10:00am Kevlicki: Joe, the concurrent show on WVKR is playing similar style winter music this morning. I keep tuning back and forth on my radio
	10:01am TDK60: Never heard of that Ashley "Stroll On" album. On Wikip. it says it was a big deal in UK folk-rock cyrcles.
	👻 10:02am YETI BOB: No Sairie on vinyl, sadly, but I'll pay for a download
	10:02am Rick near Allentown: Joe, your music selections are much appreciated on this Longest Day of the Year.
	10:02am ishky: Don't make me choose between VKR and FMU.
	10:03am Handy Haversack: We had the CD for driving around this summer, YB. Real nice.
	10:03am PaulRobeson1920: Goood morning Paul and Ringo!! Wherever you are
	10:03am Rick near Allentown: Should have said Shortest. :(
	👻 10:04am Webhamster Henry: @Rick, it's the longest day in New Zealand, South Africa, and Chile! (and "noon" at the South Pole)
	10:04am Deborah: Onward to Spring!
	👻 10:06am YETI BOB: @WHH: That's some really good perspective
	👻 10:06am paulincc: By way of Catholicism trivia (and no other purpose!), the "Immaculate Conception" does not relate to the curious conception of J.C., but rather the conception of Mary (being "conceived w/o sin") so that she could serve as an appropriate 'vessel' of the son of God. Don't blame me - I don't write this stuff!
	10:06am p/b: Bring that harp and happy Monday FMUworld - love and mystery from Bklyn. Keep those masks on!
	10:07am βrian: Before I was fully awake, I was trying to figure why Joe McGasko was hosting on a Friday morning.
	10:08am Joe McG: Thanks, Rick! @TDK60: I love both of Steve Ashley's LPs from that period. Check them out if you like the Fairport scene since those guys are all over them.
	10:08am Deborah: @10:06paulincc No blame. It is all apocryphal. Just so glad to be free of patriarchal myths of any kind. Celebrating seasonal change.
	10:08am TDK60: I'm a Fairportfanatic Joe, you know.
	10:09am Joe McG: Thanks for the correction, Mike! I need to start writing things down, I don't retain like I used to.
	10:09am PaulRobeson1920: I’m wondering, anybody familiar with the song “Jesus can’t play rugby”? To the tune of Marry had a little lamb
	10:10am kpx: @Deborah: or as clay puts it, now we're hurtling towards the summer.
	10:12am PaulRobeson1920: Well it goes on and on and on! Hahaha ; )
	10:14am Son Of Pantz: For a lighthearted read on the life of Jesus, check out "Lamb:The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal" by Christopher Moore
	10:15am TDK60: Hey all: I like Wynter. No need to mention those other seasons right now. Nah. They just can't compare.
	10:16am PaulRobeson1920: My wintertime love to be
	10:19am Kpx: @TDK60: then you and Bob Brainen have something in common, he's in Winter man himself. Me myself, I'm an Autumn !.
	10:20am TDK60: Kpx: Bob B. also likes Moby Grape, like me, so there's that.
	10:21am Par Ubi ❄︎: Hey everyone, hi Joe
	10:22am Joe B: greetings Joe and everyone
	10:22am Joe McG: Thanks for the recommendation, Pantz. Hey Par, hey Joe!
	10:23am Handy Haversack: Hey, Joe B!
	👻 10:23am Ken From Hyde Park: In some places, this day is noted as 2112, so can you please play some Rush? KThanksBye
	10:25am kpx: @TDK60: now if it only snow's purple, you and him will be in Grape Winter heaven.
	10:25am fred: @Ken From Hyde Park: Only Meghan can play Rush, it's in the bylaws somewhere
	10:25am Brendan: Good morning, I thought I smelled something cooking in here. And eclectic stew. I second the 2112 proposal. Or any long epic, like the Necromancer. It qualifies as a story corner I think.
	10:26am Handy Haversack: SUBDIVISIONS
	10:29am Joe McG: @Ken: You rascal! :)
	10:31am Deborah: @kpx: Haha! Missed most of Clay today. Busy morning. The show is not a background music show at all. I love Spring and Autumn, my season. Summer and Winter, not so much.
	10:31am xtrakrispy: Subdivisions = Tempest = my fave arcade game
	10:31am Brendan: As I recall Staysh loves Rush (and Pete Seeger). In no particular order
	👻 10:32am karlward: Please avoid playing Rush. We have all washed our hands enough already today.
	10:32am Handy Haversack: That video lives deep in my heart, xtrakrispy.
	10:34am Baker: Amazingly good show today! Making it much easier for me to slog through boring work!
	10:35am PaulRobeson1920: Beautiful day in the city! Just took a walk through the first Calvary cemetery, in Sunnyside. The snow is melting rapidly now
	10:36am Joe McG: Great, Baker, like to hear that! @karl: Ha ha ha - I washed my hands of them years ago.
	10:36am Krys O.: Yessssss!
	10:36am SheWolf: The Cutter is one of my all-time favorite songs. Gives me goosebumps.
	10:37am Phillippe Bastille: @karlward hey, I received your shipment today! Excited to play it tonight while I'm putting dinner together!
	10:38am Joe McG: @SheWolf: This single mix is nice and bright!
	10:38am Brendan: The cutter cuts you up (like a knife). Just ask Peter Murphy and Bryan Adams.
	10:38am egould310: Very Nietzschean. Echo and the philosophy students.
	10:39am TDK60: Intense Echo track, its whole album too. (Porcupine.)
	10:39am Cal Zone!: The Cutter was the last great gasp from Echo and The Bunnymen IMHO....they jumped the shark with Killing Moon and all that followed....
	10:39am BillD: Another 12" 45 that I have that Joe will want .
	10:39am Krys O.: @CalZone: Don't forget Bedbugs & Ballhoo.
	10:40am Mr. Palchepo.: Oo. Great one Joe.
	10:40am Joe B: yeah! 70s Four Seasons lineup - killer musicians!
	10:40am Son Of Pantz: Frankie!
	10:40am luka: few songs take me back to facing the aisles at the grocery store like this Four Seasons one does.
	10:40am listener 126464: Four Seasons Greetings!
	10:40am Greg from ZONE 5: THE FUCK, JOE.
	10:41am Sylvia (France-NYC): Hello everyone! The French version of this song was a huge hit in France, still is. I had never heard the English version before!
	10:41am miniteeny: I can’t believe this lol
	10:41am Joe McG: Greg: HA HA HA
	10:42am The Oscar: Aren't the Four Seasons always seasonal?
	10:43am Joe B: do the freddy!
	10:43am fred: @Sylvia: Was it by Claude François? Or Total Landscaping?
	10:43am Bill D: Is this the same Cal Zone that worked for Celluloid in the late 80s ?
	10:43am Cal Zone!: Krys O...sorry...they lost me from Ocean Rain on. ;(
	10:43am Terr DE: WFMU is far more disco friendly than one would assume.
	10:43am Kpx: @Kenfhp: I heard Owl Jolson will be taking over frontman for geddy Lee, they're going to make a new rendition of - I love to singa, and - Owl be home for Christmas.
	👻 10:43am tim from champaign (now washington): Hey Joe and everybody!
	10:43am Cal Zone!: Yessir, Bill D! ;)
	10:44am Sylvia (France-NYC): @fred yeah, Claude François "Cette année-là-, then Yannick sampled it in the 2000s and big hit again
	10:45am D Rok: That was the most 90's sounding 70's Country song I've ever heard.
	10:47am BillD: Cal Zone I worked at J and R and would order stuff from you when you came in the store.
	👻 10:47am tim from champaign (now washington): Did anyone catch Michael Shelley on Saturday morning? That was excellent radio.
	10:49am Son Of Pantz: Catchy song but the band name is horrible.
	10:49am PaulRobeson1920: Yes haha that was excellent. I really dig those first two song
	10:49am D Rok: @tim: I caught much of it. It was quite good indeed.
	10:50am Cal Zone!: Cool! Thanks for remembering me, Bill! I had a lot of fun at Celluloid...I worked with some great music, people/characters, and still have close friends from all those years ago!
	10:50am Cal Zone!: Mike Shelley's show was indeed wonderful! He's always great, but he exceeded my expectations!
	10:50am adampsyche: hey JOE thanks for the SHOW
	👻 10:50am tim from champaign (now washington): Wow wow wow wow wow wow!!!!!!!!!!
	10:50am morphe': Hey Joe ... where ya goin' with those (eclectic) 45s in yer hand ??????!!!!!!!
	10:51am The Oscar: Whoa-- never knew Little Roger & the Goosebumps did anything other than "Stairway to Gilligan's Island," and I never would have guessed it would sound like this!
	10:51am Sylvia (France-NYC): Dark Night of the Soul's Julie will do a SEVEN HOUR show tomorrow, on the Drummer Stream, so grab snacks and water and dress accordingly (= pjs)
	10:52am Hubig Pie: Queen Victoria was known to bathe once a month whether she needed one or not
	10:52am Handy Haversack: Wow, I'd missed that Sylvia! I will start stretching my dark and membranous wings over the face of the sun now to get ready!
	👻 10:52am karlward: Phillippe Bastille: get ready to 90s
	10:53am Bill D: Cal Zone I still have some vinyl and cassettes you gave me.

	10:54am Joe B: daddy licks - lehigh valley's no. 1 original band 1979-1983!
	10:54am Cal Zone!: Bill D...that's so cool! Some of those are probably valuable $$$ :)
	10:54am Joe McG: That's right, Joe B.!!
	10:55am Cal Zone!: I loved J&R Music World! They had a great selection...especially the budget bins!
	10:55am Joe B: the Little Roger & the Goosebumps revival continues!
	10:56am kpx: @Debroah@10:31: right, because too hot is too hot, and too cold is too cold. huh !
	10:57am Woo: Joe, did the Raiders steal the ending organ riff on Society's Child to use on Indian Reservation?
	10:59am Joe McG: @Woo: Hmm..I wonder! I'd say definitely!
	10:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Happy long Capricorn climb out of the Darkness ! ...But I can't read all them comments... Janis Ian is righteous. Tho I haven't seen a Godzilla Haiku for some time...
	10:59am HyperDose: When I said I needed youuuu
	11:00am Krys O.: Janis Ian's conversations with her wife are wonderful.
	11:00am seedfriend: Ahh so much sunshine on a grey day
	11:00am Bootsie: Dusty! <3
	👻 11:00am tim from champaign (now washington): What did Sheila B say about this song? Something like "So much drama"?
	11:01am Phillippe Bastille: Loving the turn this set has taken
	👻 11:01am tim from champaign (now washington): But this is drama I don't mind at all.
	11:01am Brendan: Goddamnit, where’s my handkerchief? This set is wiping me out
	11:02am TDK60: Thanks for ignoring the wynter naysayers, Joe. They just wanna sit on some hot beach listening to Jimmy Buffet tapes. Not cool. Not cold.
	👻 11:02am karlward: Dusty must have blown out the windows in the studio on that track
	11:02am Therese: Oh, Dusty! No one does glorious, stoic sadness like her.
	11:02am Handy Haversack: Great show, Joe! Top to bottom! Suiting up to let the dog walk me around, so I'll say thanks now. Hope to catch up with many of youse at the Next Joe Up's place.

	11:13am Roberto: Dave Grusin wrote the theme to a certain '80s drama near and dear to me.
	11:14am patrick321: Random, useless and anecdotal, but The Cutter was a bigger hit with Danceteria employees than it was with patrons.
	11:15am Kpx: @TDK60: I won't ignore it, in fact I will wish you a big grape whale of a cold winter. same to Bob Brainen.
	11:17am Brendan: Such a warm guitar sound
	👻 11:18am tim from champaign (now washington): Aprapo of nothing here, but what's you're opinion on Dylan's Christian records?
	11:19am TDK60: Kpx, you're a real chum. Want an eggnog?
	11:19am Son Of Pantz: BEAUTIFUL
	11:19am johnzo: beautiful!
	11:20am βrian: Do you coddle your eggs before making nog?
	11:24am Listener Alexandra: i am so glad I'm not the only person who still loves Kings of Convenience. Beautiful show so far, Joe!
	11:25am HyperDose: The Old Codger is known to coddle his eggs, but he stops at the chickens. They require a more firm and considered approach, as they squawk more than him!
	👻 11:25am tim from champaign (now washington): @Brian - if you coddle your eggs, won't they become entitled?
	11:26am kpx: @TDK60: Sure, with extra nog.
	11:26am patrick321: @Alexandra count me among that group also.

	11:50am Kay: More echoplex!

	9:01am Handy Haversack: Joe and the Yipperines! Great day in the morning! I gotta go call a guy about a cat. Right back!
	👻 9:01am Marley P. Dogg: My yip on the shelf is keeping an eye out to see who is nice and who is not so nice

	9:05am TDK60: Morning Monday Joe. Gene!
	👻 9:05am Ken From Hyde Park: Yip yip yip! Where's the polar vortex at?
	9:05am Corey: Morning Joe and gang! Don't know this version of Winter in. Nice way to usher in the new season!
	9:06am PaulRobeson1920: Yip yip yippe!
	9:06am Krys O.: Greetings!
	9:06am HyperDose: @Handy Sorry I missed your earlier reply. Thanks for the recs! I LOVED Color out of Space, it was very Alex Garland. The pacing of The Lodge was incredible. Very curious about Blood Quantum.
	9:07am Cal Zone!: Good morning McG!
	9:08am Mike tp: gumbs enjoying the selections
	👻 9:08am YETI BOB: On vacation this week, even more time to listen to the radio, hooray!
	9:09am Handy Haversack: We can think of the solstice as midwinter's day rather than the first day of winter -- makes spring seem a lot closer. @HyperDose, Blood Quantum is pretty brutal, visually and emotionally. I looked at some reviews afterward and found them mostly pretty facile and surface level. I think the outcomes of trauma and violence as played out in the movie go at least a couple of levels beyond where most reviewers stopped. Definitely worth watching. Does what horror movies should, I think. Hey, nice one, YB!
	👻 9:11am 12539: (Belated Boing Boing!)
	9:12am dale: joe - are you familiar with magna carta's 'seasons' album? amazing blondel's 'england?' wintry tunes there too.
	9:14am zivilars: Thanks for the show, Joe – has been quite a lot time since I catched it live and already realised after a few seconds what I've missed
	9:16am Joe McG: Hi, everyone, and welcome to the show! We're going to start a bit wintry and go from there. (dale: Yes, I think I've hit them both over the years!)
	9:16am Rick A.: Great vibe, Joe, this is a refreshing change from all of the hipster Christmas music played this weekend on the station. And you can't do much better than beginning with Gene Clark.
	9:17am JG: The new McCartney stuff is interesting
	9:17am Kpx: @melinda: I've Been resisting from doing this for a long time, but now I think I'll go for it, here goes. Hello youlinda, mekpx !. Well I got that out of my system for better or worse, there it is. don't mind me that's just my goofy sense of humor. So how's by you
	9:17am Handy Haversack: Did you hear the new Sairie tune that came out for winter, Joe?
	9:17am Yes: Lovely
	👻 9:17am yerfriendpaul: So good to hear Paul like this
	9:18am Woo: McCartney's voice sounds good.
	9:18am Joe McG: @Handy: Yes, I have it with me. Maybe this set if I work around to it! @Rick A.: Thanks!
	9:18am Mx. Granny (e/em): Greetings, Joe, and joyous solstice to all!
	9:19am Handy Haversack: I should never have doubted, Joe! Morning, Granny!
	9:19am Yes: Morning everyone
	9:21am Andrew_in_WI: Any George Winston coming up?
	9:21am Dennis Diken: good morning Joe and all! diggin'!
	9:21am Phillippe Bastille: Good morning everyone from dreary Annapolis!
	9:23am Joe McG: @Andrew: You know, I've never listened to his seasonal LPs. Ought to. G'morning, Dennis! @Granny: Killer karaoke, in case you're not tired of hearing it.
	9:24am Mike Sin: Hey Joe! So happy to catch your show today live! As a hater of Winter, I take solace in the concept that December 21 means the days are now getting longer!
	9:24am Ryansterlingvirtue: jarvis!
	9:24am Yes: David Berman :)
	9:25am Handy Haversack: Hi, Phillippe! Is Planet Tyler still around for some Jarvis? Sounding great.
	9:25am Yes: Pretty
	9:25am Joe McG: @Mike: Always nice to have you here. I know you're a beach bunny. I actually prefer this time of year, as weird as that sounds!
	9:25am TDK60: That was a fetching snowfall last Thursday. Diggin' the wynter segment.
	9:25am Buddha of Suburbia: Good morning gang! Morning Joe McG! I'm heading out soon. Just wanted to say "Hi"!
	9:26am Kevlicki: Hi Joe and all. I’ve been entertained by that new McCartney album. And this is an interesting version of snow is falling.
	9:26am Joe McG: Dedicating this song to you, Dennis: "It's coming down in smithereens..."
	9:27am bo: you go breakin' my heart, joe
	👻 9:27am waters7: Brrr, it’s cold out there
	9:28am HyperDose: @Handy So Blood Quantum has a Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead vibe to it? That's what I was hoping for. Going to watch it tonight!
	9:28am Phillippe Bastille: So did you procure that cat Handy?
	9:28am porchy: That’s a perty song
	9:28am Dennis Diken: thanks Joe! ha!
	9:28am geoff mcq: This is a most lovely set Joe. Thanks man.

	9:29am melinda: I dig Bill Evans
	9:30am Jeffrey Davison: You're killing it today, Joe, with this first set. Fantastic.
	9:30am Phoebe in Fanwood: Joe, this is such a beautiful set—I usually take off after Wake n Bake, but I haven’t been able to pull myself away!
	9:30am ishky: THANK YOU for Peace Piece. What a wonderful and needed surprise to hear.
	9:30am Handy Haversack: Never saw it, HyperDose! Adding to the list. Cat ear medicine resecured, Phillippe!
	9:30am dano59: Happy to celebrate the sun with music - a good way to trick the brain of the ancients with hope for something vs. the 30 in. of snow outside.
	9:31am Joe McG: Hey Geoff, Happy Christmas to you! Greg, Sheila, Jeff! Sorry I can't type all of your names, guys, I don't have the skills, but hello to you everyone listening and commenting this morning.
	9:32am pumaliontiger: Really loving this set!
	9:32am Woo: I dig Bill Evans. Everybody digs Bill Evans.
	9:32am Rev. Turnip Druid: WAH. Missed that Lindisfarne. Must punch self, with all due festive vibes of julehygge.... INNAFACE!
	9:32am Rev. Turnip Druid: also. Hello.
	9:32am kpx: I like this it heightens my general blue moodiness.
	9:34am Deborah: Very calm and winterish, although Paul Winter's(no pun intended) music seems synonymous with the beginning of this season.
	👻 9:34am yerfriendpaul: calm and chaos
	9:34am dano59: As much as i love piano blues and jazz, I must sadly admit i have no Bill Evans. This is so freaking lovely
	9:34am kpx: well it started off good, but then it went off in another direction. now it's coming back on track.
	9:34am Buddha of Suburbia: later folks! hope you have a great holiday!!!

	9:35am TDK60: Later Buddha of up-there-a.
	9:36am Greg from ZONE 5: Just discovered these cats on bandcamp and have been thoroughly enjoying their stuff.
	9:37am dano59: Nice. I've been digging the Lucius version a la Carla Thomas
	👻 9:37am Webhamster Henry: Hi Surface Noisers!! That excellent wistful melancholic chord in "Christmas Time Is Here" is C13b9.
	9:38am Phoebe in Fanwood: I’m putting on a fresh pot of coffee, anyone wanna join me for baking cookies in our pjs?
	9:38am ishky: @PKNY same here. It popped up on my bandcamp feed and I bought it immediately. So groovy.
	9:38am porchy: Joe has forced me to delay backyard plans this morning - this is too solsticely heart warming to leave the house
	👻 9:39am Webhamster Henry: @Deborah we used to go to the Paul Winter solstice concerts at St. John the Divine for years.
	9:39am kpx: @Buddha: hope your holiday went well for you, have a peaceful day.
	9:40am Deborah: Oy! That song!
	👻 9:40am yerfriendpaul: @Phoebe - I'm out of morning mode and I just had some of Laurie's delicious banana bread but I always have room for cookies!
	9:41am Deborah: @Webhamster Henry: I did too! Missing my prepandemic life and music and art so much. Good holidays to you!
	9:43am Mx. Granny (e/em): @Joe, thanks! Karaoke was super fun! Handy did an outstanding performance, too! More! More!
	9:43am PKNY: @ishky - I like the dubby "Version Mary" take that Khruangbin did of "Christmas Time" as well
	9:44am Mike Sin: re: Steve Ashley First heard about this guy first in relation to Fairport Convention.
	9:45am Joe McG: @Granny: Yes, there were a lot of ringers there, I must say, speaking as a genuine non-singer!
	9:45am Phoebe in Fanwood: Myfriendpaul, sounds great to me! :)
	9:46am Mx. Granny (e/em): @Joe—don't forget your nose flute next time, and join in! :-)

	👻 9:50am LastWhiteRhino: I'm no lyre when I says that I fancy the lute !!!
	9:51am Phoebe in Fanwood: I LOVE vashti Bunyan—as we all must, I think
	9:51am Mx. Granny (e/em): Handy Haversack: sounds better than riding Fred Lane's slipstream!
	👻 9:51am PortsmouthJay: Vashti has such a beautiful voice.
	9:52am audrey: Beautiful program this morning.. Thank you!
	9:52am Deborah: @Phoebe in Fanwood Vashti Bunyan is not played enough for many to recognize her music, I think. Good luck at end semester!
	👻 9:53am YETI BOB: Sairie, even. So unfamiliar I can't even spell it :)
	9:56am Son Of Pantz: @LastWhiteRhino Get the pluck out of here! ;)

	9:59am seedfriend: Happy Wintr !
	👻 10:00am YETI BOB: @HH: It really hits a sweet spot. Somehow it didn't register with me when Joe played it previously, but I'm a fan now. Sometimes there's just too much good music all around me.
	10:00am Kevlicki: Joe, the concurrent show on WVKR is playing similar style winter music this morning. I keep tuning back and forth on my radio
	10:01am TDK60: Never heard of that Ashley "Stroll On" album. On Wikip. it says it was a big deal in UK folk-rock cyrcles.
	👻 10:02am YETI BOB: No Sairie on vinyl, sadly, but I'll pay for a download
	10:02am Rick near Allentown: Joe, your music selections are much appreciated on this Longest Day of the Year.
	10:02am ishky: Don't make me choose between VKR and FMU.
	10:03am Handy Haversack: We had the CD for driving around this summer, YB. Real nice.
	10:03am PaulRobeson1920: Goood morning Paul and Ringo!! Wherever you are
	10:03am Rick near Allentown: Should have said Shortest. :(
	👻 10:04am Webhamster Henry: @Rick, it's the longest day in New Zealand, South Africa, and Chile! (and "noon" at the South Pole)
	10:04am Deborah: Onward to Spring!
	👻 10:06am YETI BOB: @WHH: That's some really good perspective
	👻 10:06am paulincc: By way of Catholicism trivia (and no other purpose!), the "Immaculate Conception" does not relate to the curious conception of J.C., but rather the conception of Mary (being "conceived w/o sin") so that she could serve as an appropriate 'vessel' of the son of God. Don't blame me - I don't write this stuff!
	10:06am p/b: Bring that harp and happy Monday FMUworld - love and mystery from Bklyn. Keep those masks on!
	10:07am βrian: Before I was fully awake, I was trying to figure why Joe McGasko was hosting on a Friday morning.
	10:08am Joe McG: Thanks, Rick! @TDK60: I love both of Steve Ashley's LPs from that period. Check them out if you like the Fairport scene since those guys are all over them.
	10:08am Deborah: @10:06paulincc No blame. It is all apocryphal. Just so glad to be free of patriarchal myths of any kind. Celebrating seasonal change.
	10:08am TDK60: I'm a Fairportfanatic Joe, you know.
	10:09am Joe McG: Thanks for the correction, Mike! I need to start writing things down, I don't retain like I used to.
	10:09am PaulRobeson1920: I’m wondering, anybody familiar with the song “Jesus can’t play rugby”? To the tune of Marry had a little lamb
	10:10am kpx: @Deborah: or as clay puts it, now we're hurtling towards the summer.
	10:12am PaulRobeson1920: Well it goes on and on and on! Hahaha ; )
	10:14am Son Of Pantz: For a lighthearted read on the life of Jesus, check out "Lamb:The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal" by Christopher Moore
	10:15am TDK60: Hey all: I like Wynter. No need to mention those other seasons right now. Nah. They just can't compare.
	10:16am PaulRobeson1920: My wintertime love to be
	10:19am Kpx: @TDK60: then you and Bob Brainen have something in common, he's in Winter man himself. Me myself, I'm an Autumn !.
	10:20am TDK60: Kpx: Bob B. also likes Moby Grape, like me, so there's that.
	10:21am Par Ubi ❄︎: Hey everyone, hi Joe

	👻 10:23am Ken From Hyde Park: In some places, this day is noted as 2112, so can you please play some Rush? KThanksBye
	10:25am kpx: @TDK60: now if it only snow's purple, you and him will be in Grape Winter heaven.
	10:25am fred: @Ken From Hyde Park: Only Meghan can play Rush, it's in the bylaws somewhere
	10:25am Brendan: Good morning, I thought I smelled something cooking in here. And eclectic stew. I second the 2112 proposal. Or any long epic, like the Necromancer. It qualifies as a story corner I think.
	10:26am Handy Haversack: SUBDIVISIONS
	10:29am Joe McG: @Ken: You rascal! :)
	10:31am Deborah: @kpx: Haha! Missed most of Clay today. Busy morning. The show is not a background music show at all. I love Spring and Autumn, my season. Summer and Winter, not so much.
	10:31am xtrakrispy: Subdivisions = Tempest = my fave arcade game
	10:31am Brendan: As I recall Staysh loves Rush (and Pete Seeger). In no particular order
	👻 10:32am karlward: Please avoid playing Rush. We have all washed our hands enough already today.
	10:32am Handy Haversack: That video lives deep in my heart, xtrakrispy.
	10:34am Baker: Amazingly good show today! Making it much easier for me to slog through boring work!
	10:35am PaulRobeson1920: Beautiful day in the city! Just took a walk through the first Calvary cemetery, in Sunnyside. The snow is melting rapidly now
	10:36am Joe McG: Great, Baker, like to hear that! @karl: Ha ha ha - I washed my hands of them years ago.
	10:36am Krys O.: Yessssss!
	10:36am SheWolf: The Cutter is one of my all-time favorite songs. Gives me goosebumps.
	10:37am Phillippe Bastille: @karlward hey, I received your shipment today! Excited to play it tonight while I'm putting dinner together!
	10:38am Joe McG: @SheWolf: This single mix is nice and bright!
	10:38am Brendan: The cutter cuts you up (like a knife). Just ask Peter Murphy and Bryan Adams.
	10:38am egould310: Very Nietzschean. Echo and the philosophy students.
	10:39am TDK60: Intense Echo track, its whole album too. (Porcupine.)
	10:39am Cal Zone!: The Cutter was the last great gasp from Echo and The Bunnymen IMHO....they jumped the shark with Killing Moon and all that followed....

	10:47am BillD: Cal Zone I worked at J and R and would order stuff from you when you came in the store.
	👻 10:47am tim from champaign (now washington): Did anyone catch Michael Shelley on Saturday morning? That was excellent radio.
	10:49am Son Of Pantz: Catchy song but the band name is horrible.
	10:49am PaulRobeson1920: Yes haha that was excellent. I really dig those first two song
	10:49am D Rok: @tim: I caught much of it. It was quite good indeed.
	10:50am Cal Zone!: Cool! Thanks for remembering me, Bill! I had a lot of fun at Celluloid...I worked with some great music, people/characters, and still have close friends from all those years ago!
	10:50am Cal Zone!: Mike Shelley's show was indeed wonderful! He's always great, but he exceeded my expectations!

	10:54am Joe McG: That's right, Joe B.!!
	10:55am Cal Zone!: I loved J&R Music World! They had a great selection...especially the budget bins!
	10:55am Joe B: the Little Roger & the Goosebumps revival continues!

	10:59am Joe McG: @Woo: Hmm..I wonder! I'd say definitely!
	10:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Happy long Capricorn climb out of the Darkness ! ...But I can't read all them comments... Janis Ian is righteous. Tho I haven't seen a Godzilla Haiku for some time...

	11:13am Roberto: Dave Grusin wrote the theme to a certain '80s drama near and dear to me.
	11:14am patrick321: Random, useless and anecdotal, but The Cutter was a bigger hit with Danceteria employees than it was with patrons.
	11:15am Kpx: @TDK60: I won't ignore it, in fact I will wish you a big grape whale of a cold winter. same to Bob Brainen.
	11:17am Brendan: Such a warm guitar sound

	11:25am HyperDose: The Old Codger is known to coddle his eggs, but he stops at the chickens. They require a more firm and considered approach, as they squawk more than him!
	👻 11:25am tim from champaign (now washington): @Brian - if you coddle your eggs, won't they become entitled?
	11:26am kpx: @TDK60: Sure, with extra nog.

	11:30am Woo: Stick-to-itiveness, that's what you got Joe.
	👻 11:30am Brian in UK: Hey Joe & Happy Christmas to everyone.

	11:36am Son Of Pantz: Pour some paint on it, Joe.
	👻 11:37am Brian in UK: Coloured vinyl is not clever or grown up.
	👻 11:37am YETI BOB: I have a few clear records, and sometimes you can also see the grooves on the other side, which are going the other way and make these crazy moiré patterns
	11:38am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Music should be Invisible or not @ all. - FrenchPhilosopher
	👻 11:38am YETI BOB: @Brian in UK: True, but I like my bright yellow copy of Acid Mother's Temple "Pink Lady Lemonade".
	11:38am TDK60: We don't mind the 2020 slip up; take a stress pill, some eggnog; you have a few other rekkids in that station.

	11:41am JOYofit: love Frank Loesser❤️
	👻 11:41am Brian in UK: Where is Monica when we need her?
	11:42am Brendan: That sounds better than, “I’d like to put you on a slow boat to China”
	👻 11:42am tim from champaign (now washington): I've got to bounce so thanks Joe! Happy holidays!
	11:43am Joe McG: @Brian: She'll be a guest on Sheila's show on New Year's Day!

	11:46am kpx: @JoeMcG: maybe the problem is that you are being vain. just put on your reading glasses
	11:47am Mr. Pumpy: That medley was amazing. Thanks, Joe!
	👻 11:47am YETI BOB: Hi Kay! Happy Solstice-day.
	11:48am Mike Sin: The Royal Arctic Institute track sounds like there's some Fleetwood Mac running through it.... Almost like a "13 Albatross Christmases at Sea"!
	11:49am Jeffrey Davison: Joe, for flawless radio, check out my archives. Not.
	11:49am Brendan: When in doubt, random pull.
	11:50am rich: good morning joe the psychedelic marbleized patterns on brightly colored vinyl are actually worse than clear vinyl
	11:50am Joe McG: Ha ha, Jeffrey! I lost the plot. It's like the episode of "WKRP" where Johnny can't talk on mic anymore.
	11:50am Kay: More echoplex!
	👻 11:51am 12539: Joe, don't listen to Jeffrey. Every episode of Shrunken Planet contains 74 minutes of flawless radio.
	👻 11:51am YETI BOB: @Hubig Pie: If you write out the English names of all the numbers from zero to infinity, and alphabetize them, "eight" is first in the list
	👻 11:52am YETI BOB: @rich: Unless you are seeing through to the grooves on the other side. @Brian in UK: Thanks a lot but don't sweat it!
	11:52am Krys O.: Can't remember which one, but one of the Recommended Records 7" singles from the early 80s was clear, one-sided and had etching on the non-playable side.
	11:52am TDK60: Tom R!
	11:53am Jeffrey Davison: 12539...Ha! You might be right, and as you suggest, surrounded by hemming, hawing, and general stumble-bumming.
	11:53am David (in London): Have had to be listening without commenting today, but I wanted to quickly send you the season's greetings Mr Gasko. And the same for all you fine Yippers.
	11:54am kpx: @Hubig pie @11:39. disagree, it's got to be O.
