Well Kiss are responsible for mimicking/stealing riffs from various bands. But now that you mention it....they definitely stole it!
  12:25am
Joe McG:

OK, I have to do this...
  12:26am

  12:54am
fleep:

Get a room. Get several rooms.

This kind of wrongheadedness I can stand.
  12:55am
Richard from Venezuela:

hahahahahaha.
  12:55am
Joe McG:

I LOOOOOOOVE Millie Jackson!

Joe McG:

Blumin is clearly overcome by Millie's rap.
  1:00am
Matt from Springfield:

@Dan, Joe: What happens in Studio A, stays in Studio A (but the audio gets out!)
UStream though has preserved many fine moments lately (I'm thinking Bryce, and Vicki dumping foods on him!)
  1:00am
Joe McG:

I know which one you mean, Richard. Quite a cover photo! I'm also pretty fond of ESP.
  1:02am
Matt from Springfield:

Thanks as well for playing the LP--it's not scratchy, very deep sounds and bass, and just enough surface noise to make it awesome for Surface Noise!
  1:04am
Joe McG:

Couldn't stop where I was supposed to: Bonus Millie!
  1:05am
Matt from Springfield:

And even "All I Want" at the tail end!!! Bonus Millie!!! Ecstasy!!!!
  1:15am
Richard from Venezuela:

Skatalites!!. Perfect for this night.
  1:20am
Matt from Springfield:

Nice Caribbean styles this set--great way to welcome in Spring and warm weather...hopefully no snow tomorrow!
  1:33am
Joe McG:

From your comment to the weatherman's ears, Matt.
  1:34am
Matt from Springfield:

Great start, a pre-punk "I Fought The Law" cover.

I wonder if we can also request weather patterns, using the AccuPlaylist.
  1:40am
hamburger:

AccuPlaylist: Show me potato salad!
  1:40am
Richard from Venezuela:

I love Eighties by Killing Joke and their cover "come as you are" by Nirvana.
  2:11am
slugluv1313:

do you have any KELLY FAMILY??!!??
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwzBuN7jfjw
  2:13am
Joe McG:

Ha ha ha! I won't pee the bed, I swear.
  2:20am
Matt from Springfield:

Joe: We're still out there, still enjoying Paranoid Cat! Too spaced-out to comment frequently but I'm loving Chris Forsyth!
  2:22am
Joe McG:

No problem, man! Commenting is not a requirement for this course. You can sit quietly at the back and doodle.
  2:23am
John F:

This Chris Forsyth is fantastic
  2:33am
slugluv1313:

i have four kitties and they, too, enjoy PARANOID CAT (although they want to know why there are not FOUR parts)
  2:35am
Joe McG:

Four kitties! That's 16 feet padding around your house!
  2:38am
slugluv1313:

yep! all kinda snoozy now though . . .
  2:40am
Joe McG:

I'm in Put Kitties (and Kiddies) to Sleep mode right now.
  2:44am
slugluv1313:

how many of each?!!
  2:45am
Joe McG:

As many as I can.
  2:51am
slugluv1313:

just had a thought -- do you think you all could get Station Manager Ken to "do" that Kelly Family song (with WFMU staffers as the rest of the "family" singing back-up) as the grand finale of next year's marathon?!?
  2:51am
Joe McG:

A funny picture you've given me, slugluv!
  2:54am
Brian in UK:

Late hello, Czar Joe, how do you like that name!!! It's not really you.
  2:54am
Matt from Springfield:

Ah...what a state of serenity that last hour's put me in!

Thanks for a FANTASTIC show in general, a vanilla/chocolate swirl of old and new music! I'm going to have to get that new Mountain Goats everyone talks about and I finally heard, Tragedy, Chris Forsyth and Daughters of the Sun--beautiful!
  2:55am
slugluv1313:

start constructing those *costumes* now! :)

i think it would definitely push donations way over the goal!
  2:55am
Matt from Springfield:

@Brian: Well, it doesn't really fit this show, but as the "Listener Service Czar", it works pretty well, as does "King of Swag"!
  2:56am
Joe McG:

Thanks for tuning in, as always, Matt. Have a great b'day!
  2:56am
slugluv1313:

and thanks for an awesome show!!!!!
  2:57am
Joe McG:

I think Bryce would enjoy it most of all, SL.
  2:57am
Matt from Springfield:

Thanks Joe! Goodnight sweet dreams everyone!
  2:59am
Brian in UK:

Happy bidet Matt. Spelling never was my strong point. Think Spike Maligna
  3:03am
slugluv1313:

ha ha! true, after all, he used to play that FABIO CD during his shows!
