Listener comments!
	1:37am jason: that last set really hit the spot Joe, gotta check out Dark Day, and enjoying this Single File! shoulda known Aleksandra Mir was from that massive Tony Coulter post. looks like i missed some great stuff earlier in the playlist too
	1:38am Mary Wing: What, no comments? Is everyone asleep? (Erp, too late!) Hi Joe!
	1:39am Joe McG: Hey, Jason! Glad you dug the last set. I'll definitely put a link on the playlist later, if I remember! Tony's posts are A-mazing. Hey, Mary! Apparently everyone is out of town tonight!
	1:41am Mary Wing: Out of town, or drunk and passed out on the floor. I am neither, however.
	1:42am Joe McG: And why not, Mary?
	1:43am Mary Wing: Heh. I'm, uh, in training.
	1:45am Joe McG: You're putting together your next show right now, aren't you?
	1:48am Mary Wing: Nah, that starts tomorrow. I'm totally focused on your masterful segs for the time being.
	1:49am Joe McG: Aw, shucks. :) How d'ya like this "instrumental" version of "Serpentine Fire"--you know, the one with vocals on it?
	1:53am Mary Wing: Bah, the voice is evidently an instrument as well! I can't count how many times I got fooled by so-called "instrumental" tracks.
	1:54am Joe McG: Instrument of DJ torture!
	1:55am jason: i am ready to pass out, but not drunk. here's that post, it literally has 8 different artists, plus random photos http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2010/08/blogpost-18.html
	1:56am Joe McG: Excellent, thanks Jason! The photos from Vietnam are stunning, too.
	2:02am Mary Wing: Aw, can I borrow that Wadsworth Mansion 45?
	2:05am Mary Wing: Ew, I never want to go into large bodies of water ever again. INVASIVE SPECIES ARE SCARING ME!
	2:10am Joe McG: Sure, Mary. Do you want me to leave it in your mailbox? Either that or you can wait for my "Mary" 45 special. Geez, I got tons of 'em!
	2:17am Mary Wing: I gots a popular name, yeah. Either mailbox or somewhere on your desk where I can find it. I sometimes want to do a Mary-themed set, but thats sorta pompous, isn't it?
	2:20am Joe McG: Not at all! Joe B. did 3 or 4 CDs of "Hey Joe" covers and he's the least pompous guy in the universe. Do it!
	2:23am Mary Wing: Hmm. That's true. Maybe I should save it for a marathon premium, should the opportunity ever present itself, heh.
	2:27am Joe McG: Or else do a big special. Forget one set! Do a WHOLE SHOW of Marysongs!
	2:31am Mary Wing: I do believe I'll let Meghan handle that task...
	2:32am Joe McG: You should appear as her special guest and she can play non-stop Mary songs. Then a week later she can do me.
	2:33am Mary Wing: Heh, she's a married woman, Joe!
	2:35am Joe McG: Why, Mary!
	2:37am Mary Wing: Though your charms are many; I'm sure you can find someone else to do you. :-P
	2:40am Joe McG: I wouldn't say I'm up for grabs, just open for offers.
	2:42am Mary Wing: Hah! Ha-ha-ha. Heh. This entire set rocks, by the way.
	2:46am Joe McG: Thanks, Mary!
