	12:45am Marmalade kitty: Found this interesting blog today whilst searching for superlatives for wfmu shows! obsoleteword.blogspot.com/
	12:46am Joe McG: @MK: Ooh, let's hear some superlatives!
	12:46am Destroit: Good on ya Joe, plaster this thing Brit style.
	12:48am Marmalade kitty: ..not that the superlatives would be obsolete!

	12:57am G: pina colada breakfast before bed numnum :-P
	12:57am Ken From Hyde Park: Tonight's show, and WFMU in general, is widdershins. I mean that in a good way, of course. Thanks for the link to obsolete terms, MK.
	12:58am 12539: Late, but hopefully not too late to wish you a happy birthday, Joe!
	12:59am yair Yona (Tel Aviv, Israel,Earth,Milky Way): Hey Joe,wha happenin

	1:01am miss cheri: good night joe & julie,,if you're still here julie,.,,
	1:02am Joe McG: @12539: Thanks, 12539! @Yair: Hey, Yair!
	1:03am BSI: Good grief. I should not be still awake. But yet, strangely....
	1:05am G: sleep is for those who can't handle being awake
	1:06am G: "rooty poots"???
	1:06am BSI: Didn't the great philosopher Shannon Selberg once say "Sleep is for animals and children..."? ... I cannot argue.
	1:08am borg: this makes my day!
	1:08am Destroit: @G: +5
	1:08am G: asked, and answered.
	1:09am Matt from Springfield: Wow, and what a Black Pope he is too! Joe Joe Joe Joe JOE!!! So glad to hear you again, it's been a few weeks for me!
	1:11am G: urbandictionary.com: rudy poot someone who is more or less a wannabe, poser, loser, or something to that effect.
	1:11am Joe McG: @Matt: Hey, Matt, welcome back! I'm not fit to hold the Black Pope's coattails. I'm just another rudi poot!
	1:12am Matt from Springfield: @G: A "rude boy" who "poots out", I guess! @Joe: Happy birthday!! Playing any presents tonight? :)
	1:13am Mike Sin: Happy birthday, Joe McG! My prediction: "16 Candles" by the Crests during the "Single file" segment... OK, not really.
	1:15am Joe McG: @Matt: Yeah, the Big Bill was my present to myself! @Mike Sin: Thanks for the wishes! I wish I HAD that record. I would totally play it. Actually, there IS one that is sort of a birthday song. Let me know if you can pick it out.
	1:18am Matt from Springfield: Hi Mike Sin! I didn't catch your fill-in last week (Saturday afternoons are difficult for me to catch live), but thank you for sending the email. I like when I get a blip that there's a cool show added to the Archive box!
	1:18am miss cheri: joe i really hate to pry,,(you don't have to answer if you don't want to) but how old are you? i'm 30
	1:19am T-Zero: Morning! Just woke up in time for Rainy Night... Nice! Happy belated b-day JoeMcG
	1:19am Destroit: Cheers to Sin & Matt. Keep going with birthday soul Joe.
	1:19am G: old enough to know better :-P
	1:19am miss cheri: on that note i must say night!!!!!!
	1:19am Joe McG: Hey, Taters! Hey, T-Zero! Thanks!
	1:20am Matt from Springfield: If you don't want to post publicly that's OK Joe. (But, I had my own guess! It would be fun if you DID share!) ;)
	1:21am Joe McG: I'm as old as you want me to be and as young as the season.
	1:23am Marmalade kitty: we know how old we are but do we know how young we are?
	1:24am Marmalade kitty: yes Joe!
	1:25am Joe McG: Are we as old as we think we are or as young as we wish? (groan)
	1:25am Matt from Springfield: "Old" and "young" are in the eye of the beholder, Kitty! It really depends who we're around, a relative thing! And age is really just counting throughout your life...
	1:27am G: it's all so clear now!!!!!!
	1:27am Mike Sin: @Matt, Destroit -- Well, hello, and thanks! Joe McG's age? I'll give you a hint. He has never owned a razor and he's always givin' me money to buy him six-packs from the liquor store.
	1:29am Matt from Springfield: @Mike: Well, that's very telling. At this rate, maybe DJ Keili will soon be able to take over that duty! :D
	1:30am Matt from Springfield: Yes Joe, Light In The Attic, or Rhino reissue, someone needs to reissue these!
	1:31am Marmalade kitty: Hiya Matt, Mike!
	1:34am Matt from Springfield: Always nice to see you, dear Kitty!
	1:36am Joe McG: @Mike Sin: Hey, Mike, by the way, I could really use a beer. If I give you a few bucks....?
	1:36am Holly in NC: had to rouse to comment - 1 of the best songs EVER!
	1:38am Joe McG: @Holly: The part at the end is my favorite! YEAH YEAH!
	1:38am Destroit: Heroin influenced birthday songs are always welcomed! It should be a staple.
	1:38am Matt from Springfield: "Slow Death" is kind of ahead of its time, with that rhythm and subject matter, I would have guessed it was from later in the 70s.
	1:39am Matt from Springfield: Probably because they were influenced by Lou Reed (my other guess!)
	1:41am Matt from Springfield: Hey another "I Walk The Line" single! Joe, you once mentioned you probably have enough IWTL covers to do a whole Single File with--when oh when can we expect that to happen??!
	1:41am Joe McG: @Matt: Gotta make sure I have enough of them, but maybe I will do that one of these days!
	1:43am Matt from Springfield: That would be great if you can pull that off!
	1:44am Mike Sin: Well hello MarmaKit! Interesting bit about "Slow Death" -- Wilson joins band, Slow Death is his first appearance (1972), and then the band essentially disappears for four years....
	1:47am Matt from Springfield: Whoa, garage-y psychedelia Tim Hardin song!
	1:48am Joe McG: @Mike Sin: Hey, Mike, do you know anything about these guys? They sound Japanese to me or something.
	1:49am Destroit: Good stuff Joe,
	1:51am Joe McG: @Destroit: Glad you're diggin' it.
	1:56am Matt from Springfield: Sock it to me! My dad said that when he was a kid, he actually knew 3 sisters, all named: Faith, Hope and Charity!
	1:57am Joe McG: @Matt: That's so cool! I wonder if they ever socked it to him!
	1:58am Mike Sin: @Joe McG - the Look? Outta NYC on the same label as Tim Hardin...
	1:59am Destroit: It's hard not to dig it. HBD Joe, keep it up and three cheers to fmu
	2:00am Joe McG: @Mike Sin: Really? Was the vocalist from Argentina or something? He sounds like he's pronouncing some of the words oddly.
	2:02am Matt from Springfield: @Joe: Maybe if they were the daughters of a preacher man... Only the "disco version" of this for me, please!
	2:03am Mike Sin: Dunno too much about the band. I'm fairly sure it was recorded in NYC.
	2:12am 12539: Joe/Mike, YouTube post says of The Look: ...former "Country Gentlemen". A precursor to Barnaby Bye. This early work performed by Bobby Alessi, Billy Alessi, Donny Droege and on drums, Mr. Bob Pellicane. Maybe my first experience with a Long Island band. http://tinyurl.com/6mmxcoe
	2:16am Matt from Springfield: Oh, GREAT Bobby Bare one! I believe this is another Shel Silverstein classic he sang.
	2:17am Joe McG: @12539: Wow, thanks! So they were from Long island! No wonder they had funny accents! (just kidding all you folks from Strong Island)
	2:23am Marmalade kitty: Great show! Have a wonderful Birthday week Joe! See you all next time!
	2:23am Joe McG: Thanks, Marmalade Kitty! Have a great week!
	2:25am Matt from Springfield: ANOTHER Jeannie C. Riley song! Yes! Later Kitty! Have a good day!
	2:27am Joe McG: I loves me some Jeannie C. Riley.
	2:33am Matt from Springfield: And EVIE SANDS! Not to mention Bobbie and good ol' Tanya! Every item an A+ this set!
	2:33am Brian in UK: Happy Birthday Joe. Hello folks.
	2:35am Joe McG: Hey, Brian! Thanks for the kind wishes. Party is winding down, but there are still a few favors left for latecomers!
	2:36am Brian in UK: Joe, looks like it started funky, have you heard boys & girls from Brooklyn? Modern old skool. http://www.myspace.com/pimpsofjoytime
	2:38am Joe McG: @Brian: No, but I'll check 'em out, thanks! Brooklyn, thanks to Desco/Daptone, has become something of a new funk center in the U.S. of A.
	2:49am Matt from Springfield: Like this Badge, first time hearing them for me.
	2:50am Joe McG: Check this out, Matt: http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2011/01/blogpost-29.html
	2:55am Joe McG: Hey, everyone, thanks for listening and commenting and all that. Have a great week, and thanks for all of the b'day good cheer.
	2:55am Brian in UK: Enjoy the rest of the day.
	2:55am Matt from Springfield: Wow! Thanks Joe for the links! And that photo, what a stylized label!
	2:57am Matt from Springfield: Thanks for a wonderful show, and bringing us good cheer from you every week!
	3:12am slugluv1313: greetings Mr. Joe McGasko and HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!! hope it was a blast! AMAZING show, as always!!! (have been listening, just not able to sign in to comments until now) HAVE A GREAT BIRTHDAY WEEK! and STAY WARM!!!!

	1:19am Destroit: Cheers to Sin & Matt. Keep going with birthday soul Joe.
	1:19am G: old enough to know better :-P
	1:19am miss cheri: on that note i must say night!!!!!!
	1:19am Joe McG: Hey, Taters! Hey, T-Zero! Thanks!
	1:20am Matt from Springfield: If you don't want to post publicly that's OK Joe. (But, I had my own guess! It would be fun if you DID share!) ;)
	1:21am Joe McG: I'm as old as you want me to be and as young as the season.
	1:23am Marmalade kitty: we know how old we are but do we know how young we are?
	1:24am Marmalade kitty: yes Joe!
	1:25am Joe McG: Are we as old as we think we are or as young as we wish? (groan)
	1:25am Matt from Springfield: "Old" and "young" are in the eye of the beholder, Kitty! It really depends who we're around, a relative thing! And age is really just counting throughout your life...
	1:27am G: it's all so clear now!!!!!!
	1:27am Mike Sin: @Matt, Destroit -- Well, hello, and thanks! Joe McG's age? I'll give you a hint. He has never owned a razor and he's always givin' me money to buy him six-packs from the liquor store.
	1:29am Matt from Springfield: @Mike: Well, that's very telling. At this rate, maybe DJ Keili will soon be able to take over that duty! :D
	1:30am Matt from Springfield: Yes Joe, Light In The Attic, or Rhino reissue, someone needs to reissue these!
	1:31am Marmalade kitty: Hiya Matt, Mike!
	1:34am Matt from Springfield: Always nice to see you, dear Kitty!
	1:36am Joe McG: @Mike Sin: Hey, Mike, by the way, I could really use a beer. If I give you a few bucks....?
	1:36am Holly in NC: had to rouse to comment - 1 of the best songs EVER!
	1:38am Joe McG: @Holly: The part at the end is my favorite! YEAH YEAH!
	1:38am Destroit: Heroin influenced birthday songs are always welcomed! It should be a staple.
	1:38am Matt from Springfield: "Slow Death" is kind of ahead of its time, with that rhythm and subject matter, I would have guessed it was from later in the 70s.
	1:39am Matt from Springfield: Probably because they were influenced by Lou Reed (my other guess!)
	1:41am Matt from Springfield: Hey another "I Walk The Line" single! Joe, you once mentioned you probably have enough IWTL covers to do a whole Single File with--when oh when can we expect that to happen??!
	1:41am Joe McG: @Matt: Gotta make sure I have enough of them, but maybe I will do that one of these days!
	1:43am Matt from Springfield: That would be great if you can pull that off!
	1:44am Mike Sin: Well hello MarmaKit! Interesting bit about "Slow Death" -- Wilson joins band, Slow Death is his first appearance (1972), and then the band essentially disappears for four years....
	1:47am Matt from Springfield: Whoa, garage-y psychedelia Tim Hardin song!
	1:48am Joe McG: @Mike Sin: Hey, Mike, do you know anything about these guys? They sound Japanese to me or something.
	1:49am Destroit: Good stuff Joe,
	1:51am Joe McG: @Destroit: Glad you're diggin' it.
	1:56am Matt from Springfield: Sock it to me! My dad said that when he was a kid, he actually knew 3 sisters, all named: Faith, Hope and Charity!
	1:57am Joe McG: @Matt: That's so cool! I wonder if they ever socked it to him!
	1:58am Mike Sin: @Joe McG - the Look? Outta NYC on the same label as Tim Hardin...
	1:59am Destroit: It's hard not to dig it. HBD Joe, keep it up and three cheers to fmu
	2:00am Joe McG: @Mike Sin: Really? Was the vocalist from Argentina or something? He sounds like he's pronouncing some of the words oddly.
	2:02am Matt from Springfield: @Joe: Maybe if they were the daughters of a preacher man... Only the "disco version" of this for me, please!
	2:03am Mike Sin: Dunno too much about the band. I'm fairly sure it was recorded in NYC.
	2:12am 12539: Joe/Mike, YouTube post says of The Look: ...former "Country Gentlemen". A precursor to Barnaby Bye. This early work performed by Bobby Alessi, Billy Alessi, Donny Droege and on drums, Mr. Bob Pellicane. Maybe my first experience with a Long Island band. http://tinyurl.com/6mmxcoe
	2:16am Matt from Springfield: Oh, GREAT Bobby Bare one! I believe this is another Shel Silverstein classic he sang.
	2:17am Joe McG: @12539: Wow, thanks! So they were from Long island! No wonder they had funny accents! (just kidding all you folks from Strong Island)
	2:23am Marmalade kitty: Great show! Have a wonderful Birthday week Joe! See you all next time!
	2:23am Joe McG: Thanks, Marmalade Kitty! Have a great week!
	2:25am Matt from Springfield: ANOTHER Jeannie C. Riley song! Yes! Later Kitty! Have a good day!
	2:27am Joe McG: I loves me some Jeannie C. Riley.
	2:33am Matt from Springfield: And EVIE SANDS! Not to mention Bobbie and good ol' Tanya! Every item an A+ this set!
	2:33am Brian in UK: Happy Birthday Joe. Hello folks.
	2:35am Joe McG: Hey, Brian! Thanks for the kind wishes. Party is winding down, but there are still a few favors left for latecomers!
	2:36am Brian in UK: Joe, looks like it started funky, have you heard boys & girls from Brooklyn? Modern old skool. http://www.myspace.com/pimpsofjoytime
	2:38am Joe McG: @Brian: No, but I'll check 'em out, thanks! Brooklyn, thanks to Desco/Daptone, has become something of a new funk center in the U.S. of A.
	2:49am Matt from Springfield: Like this Badge, first time hearing them for me.
	2:50am Joe McG: Check this out, Matt: http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2011/01/blogpost-29.html
