  12:22am
cheri:

  12:23am
Joe McG:

Aw, darn, I could've brought some Candi, but alas, I didn't pack any!
  12:27am
cheri:

no worries joe,,but can you play a tune just for me,,,i'll be listening,,thnx joe,,
  12:27am
Joe McG:

If only I'd brought "Cheri" by 20/20! I'll see what I can do....
  12:38am
bill the peg leg envelope stuffer motherfucker:

hey man
  12:40am
Joe McG:

Hey, Bill! Have fun at the Record Fair yesterday?
  12:41am
bill the peg leg envelope stuffer motherfucker:

yeah but you know what. If you are hardcore, crate digging is a LOT of work
  12:42am
Joe McG:

Sure be! It's hard to find old skippy 45s!
  12:43am
cheri:

well joe i have have to split ,this is my last comment ,,but don't worry i'll still be be tuned in ty joe
  12:44am
Joe McG:

Take care, Cheri! Thanks for checking in!
  12:44am
bill the peg leg envelope stuffer motherfucker:

i mean i love the fair, but it is completely overwhelming. you are not going to get to everything and you are trying to guess who has what you want
  12:44am
Julie:

I went to the record fair and I got a rock
  12:46am
Julie:

this is true, bill! I Think it is a close your eyes and dive in and maybe you get lucky. Ooooh X-ray!! good stuff
  12:49am
Joe McG:

I think Julie's right. Dive in somewhere. You may not find anything, but you may come up with a pearl.
  12:50am
Julie:

okay I think I's be needing some The Savage Rose
  12:51am
Julie:

I hadn't been in like five years...I did walk out with a handful of cheapies from the FMU table
  12:51am
bill the peg leg envelope stuffer motherfucker:

i never get what i want but i always leave with a think bag of stuff that i would never get anyplace else. The scooby do 1970 take on a Diana ross track
  12:52am
Julie:

scooby do? Now that sounds interesting. I came REAL close to getting a John Davidson LP (how can I miss him singing Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da) but I got crowded out and passed. ah well..
  12:53am
bill the peg leg envelope stuffer motherfucker:

no rocks though
  12:54am
Julie:

Bill, you weren't lookin hard enough ;)
  12:55am
Julie:

I am digging the female vox here Joe!
  12:55am
Joe McG:

Cool, Julie! I love this single.
  12:56am
bill the peg leg envelope stuffer motherfucker:

na na the scooby do thing was a metephore. i just discovered that the way to work the record fair is you don't go in with an agenda. you just buy shit that you can;t get anyplace else as it turns up
  12:56am
Julie:

now this international stuff I don't know, I would never know what to look for. I've got a friend in Romania been trying to find some artists from there
  12:57am
Julie:

the 45 shows are so much fun...
  12:58am
Julie:

she streamed FMU on tuesday and her computer got fried. ha
  12:59am
bill the peg leg envelope stuffer motherfucker:

yeah i got hung up on that to. there was a guy on the wall facing 18th st who had a lot of it but it was not cheap, and you REALLY have to know what you are buying with, say, french music. I kept looking for Andy votel type stuff
  1:00am
Julie:

orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrg..nice ;) Hey that last track reminded me of Fairport and Sandy I guess you too!
  1:01am
Julie:

yeah every time something caught my eye it was like some $45 piece of vinyl...so I wrestled my way into the $1 bins
  1:02am
Joe McG:

Indeed!
  1:02am
Julie:

I gotta get out of france. I love my french music but I have so much of it. I need a new country to obsess over.
  1:03am
bill the peg leg envelope stuffer motherfucker:

i guess the thing to do is become a BILLIONAIRE, walk into the fair on Friday at four with a u-hall,= slip scott williams half a million and then just have scott and liz start packing
  1:04am
Julie:

with that kinda money you can take scott and liz home with you to spin them for you
  1:07am
bill the peg leg envelope stuffer motherfucker:

yes. THE REAL RECORD COLLECTORS of new jersey on reality TV. No one would watch a show with nice people playing Krautrock
  1:08am
Julie:

was that 45 from '49 made of polystyrene or vinyl?
  1:09am
Julie:

haha seriously has Hoarders done a record collection episode yet?
  1:12am
Julie:

I'm taking Genesis Hall as my porn name
  1:14am
bill the peg leg envelope stuffer motherfucker:

oh don't say thaqt (ha ha)., Hoarding is irrational. Record collectors are insane but the collecting itself is a perfectly natural act. Ten thousand General Electric blenders, five thousand ABC impulse records. Which is more sane
  1:15am
Julie:

who told you about my blenders!
  1:16am
bill the peg leg envelope stuffer motherfucker:

record collecting porn: interesting image. Orgasms to Ornette Coleman
  1:17am
Julie:

This is odd that it's only Bill & I commenting. It's as if we're on some odd date and Joe is supplying the music.
  1:17am
Mike Sin:

Gentleman Joe completely charmed the lady shoppers up front at the WFMU stand today at the rec fair. I took some notes.
  1:18am
Julie:

Freedman has the best record collecting porn collection EVER
  1:18am
Julie:

Yes, Mike, he has that way about him. We all come up and ruffle his hair
  1:19am
Joe McG:

No, MIke, they charmed ME. :)
  1:19am
bill the peg leg envelope stuffer motherfucker:

J: are you a dj at fmu? were you there last night (fri)
  1:20am
bill the peg leg envelope stuffer motherfucker:

joe will tell you i am the skinny little guy who walks like a drunk, right joe?:
  1:21am
Julie:

Yes I'm the Julie who was babysitting for Billy, Chris & Finewine last night
  1:22am
Julie:

bill if you are a frequent volunteer we've probably met
  1:22am
bill the peg leg envelope stuffer motherfucker:

ok
  1:22am
Julie:

and I'm a DJ too, or so they tell me
  1:23am
Julie:

Billy Jam is the only person who can get me to listen to three hours of hiphop
  1:23am
cheri:

joe i hate to be a pain but have you got any halloween 45s?? just a thought,,
  1:23am
bill the peg leg envelope stuffer motherfucker:

ummmmmmmmmmm.....i only did it once so far and that was a few weeks before the fair, which is how i met joe and made him laugh
  1:24am
Joe McG:

No pain are you, Cheri....I think I might have one for you in the next set or shortly thereafter!
  1:24am
Julie:

Joe never laughs at my jokes. He doesn't like my coffee either. (SNIFF)
  1:25am
Julie:

are there any 7"inch singles that play at 78? Happy Hawaii sounds just like "why did it have to be you"
  1:26am
Julie:

oh and joe has explained that...haha
  1:26am
bill the peg leg envelope stuffer motherfucker:

well, he was talking about rock stars who become jahova witnesses so i asked if you are a rock god and you convert to that faith, do you still go door to door passing out watctowers
  1:27am
Julie:

darnit Joe stop playing interesting stuff I keep meaning to go to bed
  1:27am
Julie:

Michael Jackson did
  1:28am
bill the peg leg envelope stuffer motherfucker:

  1:29am
Radio Bear:

Is Wire next?
  1:30am
Julie:

it's the radio bear! I'm a big fan <3
  1:30am
Julie:

Bill : I can't talk to you and tease Joe on the archives :)
  1:31am
bill the peg leg envelope stuffer motherfucker:

ok, ok, go and have your fun
  1:34am
Julie:

  1:35am
Julie:

"Dispensing with vinyl for your pleasure".
  1:37am
bill the peg leg envelope stuffer motherfucker:

  1:38am
Joe McG:

  1:41am
bill the peg leg envelope stuffer motherfucker:

all the programming will be like the first hour of Stan's show
  1:44am

Danne D:

Lookit all the celebrities on the McG board - very impressive. Even the ever-elusive coalhard is here :)
And of course props to Julie and the lurking cheri as well.

Anyhow thought I'd just do a quick. Gotta pass out now - not enough sleep for me these days :(

Have a great show Joe :)
  2:09am
Lisa Mc Hamilton:

Wow. You really are going steady! Great feat Joe! Awesome, as Miss K would say.
  2:10am
Lisa Mc Hamilton:

Danne D - no wonder you're so tired in the AM. tsk tsk. Good for you.
  2:11am
bill the peg leg envelope stuffer motherfucker:
