Listener comments!
	12:28am coalhard: all is clear along the watch tower of my mind--where brain farts are a good thing--i just made that up ???
	12:30am Joe McG: There's a new year here. Somebody clean it up.
	12:42am fleep: The new year will be asking for the car keys before you know it.
	12:43am Joe McG: Better get this new year into a good school before it's too late.
	12:54am Deeeeeeeeeeeee: I'll take DJ's over robots any day. You've saved my music-loving soul.
	12:57am Joe McG: Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! We loves you.
	12:58am Deeeeeeeeeeeee: And I wub yous :D
	1:05am D. Blumin: Who you callin b-gHEAD?
	1:07am Joe McG: Oops, did I say that on the radio?
	1:07am coalhard: good luck to Obama this year--the man is getting grey headed-but is ok-- morgan freeman got better with age too
	1:09am Matt from Springfield: Happy New Year Joe! The Cookies! But how about Cookie and the Cupcakes, you get better sweets value per song...
	1:10am Joe McG: Happy New Year, Matt! I like cupcakes.
	1:11am Julie: Happy New Year, Joe!
	1:12am Joe McG: Happy happy, Julie! It's now 11 after 20.
	1:13am Matt from Springfield: Hi Julie! Did you have a great New Year? I'm looking forward to another year of "binary" dates -- 1/1/11, 1/10/11, 1/11/11, and so forth.
	1:15am Matt from Springfield: I wished my Mom a happy 1:11 on 1:11 1/1/11! And don't forget that there's still October and November this year as well! To think that 12/12/12 will be the last same month-day-time for a while.
	1:18am Matt from Springfield: I had too many sweets this Christmas, you're just sending us into sugar shock now, Joe!
	1:27am Joe McG: I was going to play "Sugar, Sugar," but that might send you into sugar sugar shock.
	1:29am Matt from Springfield: How SWEET of you Joe. Sugar sugar honey honey shock is even more hazardous, particularly if you're in the sugar shack.
	1:34am Joe McG: Matt, you're a real fireball!
	1:37am Matt from Springfield: I'm on fire! And brown, you can stick around!
	1:38am Joe McG: And if you're white, it's alright!
	1:42am coalhard: i'm white--but when power goes off my ass gets cold too
	1:44am coalhard: i lost power for a few minutes--ok now
	1:46am Matt from Springfield: Hi CH! Electrical power to the people! We're all the same, just about one hour of heat is the only thing separating us all from having a cold ass!
	1:47am Matt from Springfield: Whew! What a "smashing" ending on the Avengers 45!
	1:50am Joe McG: I confess I pumped up the volume a bit.
	1:55am Matt from Springfield: No regrets, I loved it! After all, a DJ is much more than a playlist and tracks--if you feel mixing it up heightens the listening experience, GO FOR IT! If a record is locked in a skip but it sounds kind of cool, KEEP IT GOING!
	1:56am Joe McG: Like the distortion on this 45, for example!
	1:58am Matt from Springfield: Wow, you're right! Nice distortin' there! The logical extension of that philosophy at this station would probably be Kenny G--but you gotta admit People Like Us does a fantastic job selectively mixing existing sounds for our listening pleasure!
	1:59am Joe McG: Kenny G and PLU are geniuses. I bow before them.
	2:01am Matt from Springfield: Man, DJs at 'FMU??!! I'd take posters of all you up there, and place them on the ceiling above my bed, so I can bow to you whenever I get up :)
	2:01am Matt from Springfield: Sound wound up!
	2:07am Matt from Springfield: Yeah! The Joe McG and Dan Blumin show!
	2:13am Matt from Springfield: I always say it as "Nuh-Deer".
	2:13am dnr: NAD-EAR
	2:14am D. Blumin: Neigh-Deer
	2:15am Matt from Springfield: The Arab astronomers who developed the word probably would say it as "Naeh-Deer".
	2:16am coalhard: ford pinto
	2:16am Joe D.: too bad they hated our freedom. great show McG - cheers
	2:17am coalhard: meant corvair'der
	2:17am Joe D.: and I like late period, more conventional Clear Spot Beefheart more than Trout Mask Replica Beefheart. This is an obvious product of my widely known bad taste.
	2:17am Matt from Springfield: This is why they developed IPA symbols -- I didn't mean it as Nuuuuuh-Deer, more like Näh-Deer, to use the German a-umlaut. But NO ONE knows how to use the DAMN symbols!
	2:18am Matt from Springfield: @CH: Unsafe at EVERY speed, to include 0.0 mph.
	2:22am Joe McG: Hey, Joe, don't worry, I think "TMR" is my least favorite CB album. Awaiting hecklers.
	2:27am Joe McG: Matt, you're right, let's talk about a schwa. Yikes!
	2:28am coalhard: morgan freeman has freckles--but i'm without heckles
	2:29am Joe McG: I sense a theme tonight, Coalhard. Pretty soon you're going to be asking to see Miss Daisy.
	2:38am Matt from Springfield: Very powerful vocal, a very American telling of "Matty Groves". Is "Anti- " the label name? Love it!
	2:40am Joe McG: Yepper!
	2:45am Julie: Heya Matt Happy New Year! I am personally looking forward to 11-11-11
	2:47am Julie: Boy did I miss a whole lot of cookies I hope you boys saved me some
	2:48am Matt from Springfield: Heya Julie! I'm enjoying the triple dates that come with the beginning of a century. Psst--check your Internet Options, there's plenty of cookies in there!
	2:49am Matt from Springfield: Van's the Man!
	2:51am Julie: I don't LIKE those kind of cookies..they are like the kind grandma makes that have unidentifiable pieces of fruit taking up most of the middle
	2:51am Matt from Springfield: I just got a 666 for the math answer (that's usually a Brian Turner answer!) And I got a 888 earlier tonight--something with triple numbers is electric tonight!
	2:52am Kenzo: Flashback: http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/30665
	2:53am Joe McG: Bryce gets the best numbers.
	2:53am Julie: Oooh a rare Kenzo sighting. Joe you have the bestest listners
	2:54am Matt from Springfield: @Julie: Do you have peanut butter cookies with a Hershey Kiss in the center at Xmas time? That was my fav this year, as well as rolled crescent cookies with "Povitiza" walnut filling wrapped within them (Slovenian tradition! Yum!)
	2:55am Julie: Oh man that sounds really good. No we didn't. We didn't even have sugar cookies with red sprinkles. My family is LAME
	2:55am Julie: I particularly enjoy the reference on that link to the "bryce premium"
	2:56am Matt from Springfield: @Kenzo: http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/30821 It's a "fake" April Fool's playlist, but it's even better!
	2:57am Kenzo: Ah, makes the Unicode support worthwhile. Hi Joe(s)!
	2:58am Matt from Springfield: @Julie: I heard a recent Dusty Show -- don't keep your comments under pressure, because apparently, they're EXPLODING! See, good idea to keep the comments open!
	2:59am Julie: thanks Matt
	3:00am Matt from Springfield: Wonderful show--have a great 2011 everyone! Have fun @ the party Joe, Dan, Julie!
	4:01pm AJ: Thx for playing 'I Never Dreamed', one of my alltime faves!
