  12:10am
Joe M.:

Ha ha--it was filmed in New York, you'd think they would have a Seamus!
  12:10am
minnesota jeff:

Seamus is a common NY name?
  12:11am
Joe M.:

Well, probably used to be, if not now!
  12:11am
Seamus:

I did hear Jim in there twice, which technically works. idk Jeff? I'm from Michigan
  12:12am
minnesota jeff:

I work with a Seamus, but its not his real name. He's from Ireland.
  12:13am
Seamus:

Is his name James?
  12:13am
minnesota jeff:

Ehhhhh, yeah. Thats odd, how would you know that?
  12:14am
Anonymous in Essex Co.:

Good God, that Paula and Carole thing just about put me into diabetic shock!! Are you trying to play the exact opposite of Prof. Dum Dum's metal to sweep the orcs and Swedish trolls outta the timeslot?! :)
  12:14am
Seamus:

Seamus is Gaelic for James
  12:15am
minnesota jeff:

Heh, ok thats less strange. He's never gave me that answer, just sort of said its what his family always called him.
  12:17am
Seamus:

James, Seamus, Diego, Thiago, Joaquim, and Jacques are all forms of Jacob
  12:18am
minnesota jeff:

The WFMU comments section is always a wealth of information!
  12:25am
listener james from westwood:

Did someone call me?
  12:27am

They were looking for James from Eastwood.

  12:45am

  1:05am

Hey, Rebecca! It feels really weird so far! I hope I calm down soon. I feel like a puppy on a short leash.
  1:08am
3:

unleash thyself, puppy!
  1:09am
minnesota jeff:

Joe, would you be the kind of a guy who would play a Who song at a request? If so, the song "Sister Disco" off of "Who are You" would be fantastic!
  1:11am
Joe M.:

I might play a request, Jeff, I might. I feel like I've played the Who pretty recently, though, so I might shy away..."How Many Friends" kills me.
  1:13am
minnesota jeff:

"How Many Friends" is heavy hitter for sure.
  1:36am
Chop Scott:

So great to hear you tonight, schedule shifting works in a better mind for a live listen!
  1:39am
Joe M.:

Thanks, Scott! I'm trying to get used to it. I feel really amped up--I'm so used to feeling so mellow! I hope this show doesn't sound like I need ritalin.
  1:48am
slugluv1313:

AAAGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! this Bobby Goldsboro song!!!!!!!!! OUCH!!!!! one of THEE most *painful* songs that epitomized growing up in the 1970s!!!!!!!!!
  1:48am
Joe M.:

I LOOOOOOOVVVE this song, ha ha!
  1:50am
slugluv1313:

well . . . one of *those* songs that you "love" AND "hate" at the same time . . makes you wanna HURL but you just cannot STOP LISTENING!!!!!!!!
  1:51am
minnesota jeff:

That Bobby Goldsboro songs makes me glad I didn't grow up in the 1970's then!
  1:51am
Joe M.:

I recently bought the LP and was discouraged that there was nothing else on it quite as memorable.
  1:57am
slugluv1313:

minnesota jeff, you have not lived until you have heard Bobby Goldsboro's "Watching Scotty Grow" . . . and if i remember correctly, years later he was arrested for child molestation (or similar), i think in Florida?
  2:08am
minnesota jeff:

Hmm, I can't find much about it on Google.
  2:22am
3:

: )
  2:22am
minnesota jeff:

The album is called "Shit Happens!"???
  2:23am
Joe M.:

Yeah, it really is! I think Bear Family's staff were in a salty mood that day. It's a great country comp, very much like the recent "Troubled Troubadours."
  2:29am
