Listener comments!
	6:05am Sue: Good morning, Joe! I'm counting on you to keep me up this morning! Is that a lot to ask?
	6:07am Joe: No, I think it's fair! After all, you're helping keep ME up. How are you this Saturday?
	6:09am Sue: Tired and a little cranky. I passed out last night and barely got up this morning. How about you?
	6:12am Joe: Mm, pretty tired, too, but not TOO cranky. Got trapped in a mysterious traffic jam last night, the kind that seems to have no cause, and I got home late, went to bed late, etc. Eyelids at half mast today.
	6:14am Sue: :) at least we're on the same page.
	6:15am Joe: Yep! A page of a bedtime story, I guess! You know, when your eyes get all fuzzy right before you fall asleep....
	6:18am Sue: Yes, I'm totally there. ugh. Well, thanks for the tunes!
	6:20am Joe: You bet, Sue! Thanks as always for checking in before you go off to your job!
	6:24am Sue: Thanks, dude. It's hard being a baker. I need a change of occupation.
	6:27am Joe: Who knows? Maybe you'll end up working at a car wash or a bank.
	6:30am Sue: A bank?! God forbid! If I ever become a bank teller, please shoot me.
	6:37am Mike Sin: Yay Big Star! Yay to (the dwindling) Rhino records! Yay Joe!
	6:38am Joe: OK, Sue, I promise! Hey, Mike! Yeah, I'm bummed to hear about the cuts at Rhino. What a drag!
	6:54am Sue: I love what you're playing!
	6:55am Joe: Thanks, Sue! A volunteer went to Turkey and came back with an armful of Selda CDs. Much Selda to come on WFMU!
	6:59am Sue: Just beautiful!
	7:11am BMR: hi joe. yr show is great, been listening since jeffrey went on hiatus. is he coming back? yours is a solid sub regardless.
	7:14am Joe: Hey, BMR! Thanks for the kind words--I've been having a great time keeping Jeff's chair warm for him! I can't say for sure until next week if he'll be back, but I'd say it's likely. He's an institution! I'm honored to host a show in this time slot.
	7:17am BMR: I'll keep my fingers crossed, not for a whole week, but on and off. Do you have another time-slot also? If Jeff comes back, will Surface Noise continue?
	7:19am Joe: Wow, thanks, BMR. I sure hope so! It's all in the hands of greater forces! Time will tell....
	7:45am Mike Sin: My early Saturday mornings wouldn't be the same without Joe McG... all I'd have is this bowl of Kashi, and that ain't enough pOp
	7:47am Joe: Ha! I hope I give you some snap, crackle, AND pop (extra pop, of course)!
	7:56am Joe: And of course songs about being dead.
	7:58am annie: sorry to log in so late, i was listening to a station that has a new sat am deejay.. not that exciting and i forgot to come here first.. conditioning: pavlov would be disappointed.
	8:00am Mike Sin: Bloodrock! Man, I can't believe this track actually charted!
	8:09am Joe: Yeah, it's got to be one of the craziest Top 40 records ever!
	8:11am Joe: Glad to have you aboard, Annie!
	8:15am annie: good to be here, joe... light frost here this am.. 42 on the hill.
	8:41am chuck in ct: hey joe good show ......thankx
	8:42am Joe: Hey, Chuck! Thanks for the kind words! Having a great time.
	8:43am Hugh Effen-Bastid: Re DOA: I once saw some Dateline-type newsshow about crash survivors in which one of the victims said that listening to that song gave him a strong emotional flashback to his accident.
	8:45am Joe: I'll bet! A lot of radio stations banned it because people reacted so strongly to it.
