Listener comments!
	12:12am jeff-m: wow, remix version haha
	12:12am Marc: great tune for 5am. love it!
	12:13am jeff-m: or "mix" version
	12:13am Holly in NC: JOE! Was just thinking last nighf about my love for this song!
	♥ 12:14am Joe McG: I was going to play the "howling dog" mix, but changed my mind! Hi, all!
	12:23am 12539: "Bib Blood?" Hi Joe!
	♥ 12:24am Joe McG: Ha ha! Have to admit, that's a pretty good name for a band, if it isn't taken.
	12:24am jeff-m: yeah, thats when you feed your baby knives
	♥ 12:26am Joe McG: Jeff! How horrible! Everyone knows you have to start with razors.
	12:28am Andrew Waterloo: Our local suffered a hard rock band called "The Baby Shakers" they had a large blue paper-mache baby head with X'd out eyes and a pacifier.
	12:29am jeff-m: thing is Joe, razors are a bit wide. you want your baby not to choke. knives are thinner. Plus they can work int eh circus eating swords when they grow up.
	12:29am T-Zero: Heh, pins and needles... easily swallowed
	12:31am jeff-m: sorry for bad jokes.
	♥ 12:31am Joe McG: @Andrew: How do I get the Baby Shakers on my show? @Jeff: Or baby sword swallowers?
	12:32am T-Zero: No problem... I was just thinking to myself we were a bit of a sadistic bunch tonight
	♥ 12:34am Joe McG: It was reminding me of Mr. Mike. Does anyone know what I'm thinking of?
	12:36am Julie: mr Mike!
	12:36am Julie: He did impressions of guys having spikes thrust into their eyes..michael o'donoghue?
	♥ 12:37am Joe McG: That's it, Julie!
	12:38am Julie: what a strange bit that was
	12:39am Chop Scott: JOE, Ahh--finally home tonight in the nest to listen. Always the best, thank you!
	♥ 12:48am Joe McG: Chop Scott, great to see you, as always!
	12:52am Chop Scott: Great to listen you, as ever!
	12:56am David Knight: Love this show; appointment listening for me.
	♥ 12:58am Joe McG: What a swell thing to say. Thanks, DK!
	1:00am Tabatha: This is my first time listening to the show and I'm totally digging it. Thanks for playing awesome music!
	♥ 1:02am Joe McG: Wow, I'm getting all verklempt over here. Thanks, Tabatha, welcome!
	1:06am Holly in NC: Appointment listenung indeed! Xo This fast cars song is fantastic....
	♥ 1:07am Joe McG: Are you doing well, Holly? You're up late tonight!
	1:10am Holly in NC: Night is young - don't have to get up 'til 8! Am fine,
	1:11am Droll: Absolutely brilliant Bowie cover -- the original of this tune came out in '79, so this must have followed by mere months.
	1:13am Matt from Springfield: Early 90s Bowie--now that's adventurous! Hi Joe!
	♥ 1:16am Joe McG: Hey, Matt! How's things? This is actually 1979 Bowie on a 1991 CD. I'm a stickler for dates, as you know!
	♥ 1:17am Joe McG: @Droll: You're right, they recorded this only a couple of months after Bowie did and purposely rearranged it as drastically as they could.
	1:19am Matt from Springfield: Ah..so while '91 Bowie would still be more adventurous, it's not one of the Bowie albums I've heard of, so good move any way you look at it!
	♥ 1:20am Joe McG: @Matt: I like a lot of David Bowie, but if push came to shove, "Lodger" is my favorite. An unconventional choice, but I seem to listen to it the most often.
	1:24am Matt from Springfield: Between 70s Bowie and "Let's Dance", it's a good transitional moment I bet. Catching up on earlier comments--"Mr. Mike"! Never had the pleasure of seeing Mike O'Donoghue's dark comedy sketches, but that's something to search for now. I have my Dad's old National Lampoon mags, perhaps I've seen some of his features in that.
	1:26am Droll: I can't force myself to be that choosy -- it'd have to be the whole Berlin Trilogy for me... and the records with Mick, can't ignore them...
	♥ 1:26am Joe McG: @Matt: Most of the early "SNL" episodes are on DVD now and he crops up a lot early on.
	♥ 1:27am Joe McG: @Droll: Yeah, you're right. I couldn't be without "Low" or even "Hunky Dory" for that matter.
	1:28am Droll: Matt, don't even get me started on Nile Rodgers era Bowie! I adore Chic -- 100% pro band. Like I said, I'm not able to choose.
	1:29am Matt from Springfield: Now Hunky Dory is a great one, I know that and love it! Wiki also says his character's the origin of "MR. MIKE'S Mondo Video"--speaking of which, anyone here seen "National Lampoon's Going To The Movies"? :)
	1:30am keving: At one point I had found downloads for the Nation Lampoon Radio Hour which featured a lot of Michael O'Donoghue as well as early SNL cast members. Definitely lost some, but thought I came across some of my MP3s on an external hard drive pretty recently. Great show as always!
	1:31am KP: You don't listen to the radio in front of the computer? Are you not human?
	1:33am Matt from Springfield: @Droll: I like Chic myself, if Nile produced Bowie, that sounds like something worth checking out! @keving: Awesome!! Hope you find those.
	♥ 1:38am Joe McG: @kevg: Thanks, man! @KP: Actually I'm listening to the radio in front of a computer right NOW!
	1:40am Matt from Springfield: Wow, this wasn't just a Doobie Brothers cover? In fact this is an HDH Motown song, originally sung by Kim Weston. The things you can learn here!
	♥ 1:41am Joe McG: @Matt: Wow, I forgot that the Doobies did that one! You're right, Matt!
	1:42am Droll: I don't think I would last 3 minutes in front of the computer without FMU/radio/iTunes. Weekdaze -- cleverly written in 7/4 time for the days of the week!
	♥ 1:44am Joe McG: @Droll: If you like 7/4 time, you ought to like this track. It's in 19/4, apparently!
	1:45am Matt from Springfield: @Joe Oh yeah, that's the first version I heard. @Droll: Amazing, very clever find of you! As for the math behind this Don Ellis track "32 222 122", all I can think of is: 3*2=6, 2+2+2=6, and 12/2=6 ! Coincidence? ;)
	1:46am xandor: Yes, I LOVED that innocent-pychedelic sounding music, yet in 7/4. Unusual...
	1:46am Matt from Springfield: 19/4! On a 45! That's what I call a math single!
	1:48am xandor: no, this IS a good show! I needed a break from Cielito Lindo here in the middle of Mexico (dia de Independicia). Viva!!
	1:48am Droll: McG, That is an awful lot of math, but no real prog rock song fits on 45, so I know you can't take it too far.
	♥ 1:48am Joe McG: @xandor: Not only that, but a line about knickers!
	1:50am Matt from Springfield: Viva!
	1:50am xandor: VIva KNickers!! EEE ho lay!!
	1:51am Matt from Springfield: My thoughts exactly xandor!!
	1:53am Matt from Springfield: The apocryphal Village People foray into punk!! Did it work for them? ;)
	1:54am Droll: Psych-prog, math-jazz, transvestite-funk, disco-punk... Best Single File ever!
	1:54am xandor: This show...So eclectic, yet so,...tasty! Well done, Maestro McGasko, andele!
	1:54am Matt from Springfield: All the necessary "food" groups, Droll!
	1:55am xandor: LOL!!
	1:55am Matt from Springfield: I agree, Joe is totally the Maestro of Single File! :D
	♥ 1:56am Joe McG: Thanks, Xandor and Droll! Having a great time. @Matt: I don't think the VP's new wave move turned out all that well for 'em!
	1:59am Matt from Springfield: Oh Bobbie, will you ever win? Can you? ...
	2:07am Matt from Springfield: YES Joe! The Surface Noise "Fill In The Blanks" show!!
	2:09am xandor: HOw 'bout Chicago Transit Authority? Would that qualify as a blank? (now to 'rithmatic..)
	♥ 2:13am Joe McG: Sure, xandor, that's a good one! I know for a fact I've never played Chicago!
	2:14am Matt from Springfield: The Mess Around band..according to their FB, their album is "Boner Time!" can you really not say that on the radio?!
	♥ 2:15am Joe McG: Hmmm... I think you CAN say "Boner Time," but I'm not really sure. Better not tempt the FCC.
	2:16am xandor: YEah... kinda like this song..."Bone again"!
	2:18am Matt from Springfield: GSH! Always wonderful!
	2:19am xandor: But I have to say the truly remarkable thing about this whole playlist for me is that it all sounds so FAMILIAR yet I've never heard any of it before (as far as I remember). Uncanny...! ( I hope it's not just the Herradura reposado talking...)
	2:20am xandor: WOw! Such SOUL-ful GSH! RIP!
	♥ 2:22am Joe McG: Ha, the Herradura Reposado is the best drink name in the history of the world.
	2:23am Matt from Springfield: I love reposado tequila! Herradura is a great brand. It's like reposado, xandor...it sounds familiar, because it's been sitting, "reposed" for a while, till Joe brings it strong, vibrant new life! :)
	2:24am Matt from Springfield: Thelma Houston, well-well-well-pre-disco!
	2:25am xandor: Matt, I appreciate your poetic sensibility! And yes, Thelma! Unhh--uNNHH!
	2:27am xandor: This is Mott the HOople? Really?!
	♥ 2:28am Joe McG: @xandor: Yep, this is the last one they made before they packed it in. That's when David Bowie (him again!) got upset and gave them a song if they didn't break up.
	2:31am Matt from Springfield: Poetic "sense and sensibility", xandor! ;)
	2:33am Julie: JIMMMMMM
	2:34am xandor: Gawd...this takes ME back...(9th grade boarding school). Not sure that I've actually heard it since. Am I going to be in detention again?
	♥ 2:35am Joe McG: Oh, good, Julie, I'm glad you're still here. You'll like this next one.
	2:36am Julie: and then KATE...Get outta my records Joe
	2:37am Matt from Springfield: K8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've NEVER heard this one! Special single only release in '86?
	2:37am xandor: ..yeah..I don't remember this either!
	2:37am kiemzi: wow! i did not know that kate bush did the music for the chris elliott movie!
	2:38am Julie: it's a b-side..forget which single
	♥ 2:38am Joe McG: "Hounds of Love." Fetching pic sleeve!
	2:39am xandor: She, famously afraid to fly so never toured N. AMerica!
	2:41am Matt from Springfield: "Hounds of Love" B-side! That's ripe for a bonus track! Like "My Lagan Love", though not as lovely a cappella track.
	2:41am xandor: SOUnds like a John Lennon song...
	2:41am Julie: all that stuff was in the kate Box set, there were two cd's of "rarities" a million years ago
	2:42am Matt from Springfield: @xandor: And yet, did some shows and commercials in Japan! @Julie: Joe's conjured you back! :) Find any more old Kate demos?
	♥ 2:44am Joe McG: Oops! That's damn Kate Bush's fault!
	2:45am Matt from Springfield: @Julie: There was so much special material and releases from the mid 80s, they almost need to put out a super-deluxe version of the deluxe Hounds of Love album (which was great at collecting little bits, like "My Lagan Love" and the Meteorological Mix of "The Big Sky")
	2:46am Matt from Springfield: Hey! That was fantastic @45, JOE! ;)
	♥ 2:47am Joe McG: Kind of spoils the nihilism.
	2:53am xandor: Well, all the younger ones seem to be reviving themselves at the taco carts just now, but me, I'm off to bed. Thanks for the great music, Professor McGasko, and thanks to you (Matt, et. al.) for putting up with my comments. Will tune in again soon! Viva Mexico!
	♥ 2:54am Joe McG: Hey, everybody, thanks for listening! Have yourselves a good week!
	2:58am Matt from Springfield: Aww, over already! Thanks Joe for an always inspiring show! Have a good night everyone! Viva Mexico! Viva Surface Noise! Viva WFMU!!!
	2:58am Emile: Nice set!

	1:55am Matt from Springfield: I agree, Joe is totally the Maestro of Single File! :D
	♥ 1:56am Joe McG: Thanks, Xandor and Droll! Having a great time. @Matt: I don't think the VP's new wave move turned out all that well for 'em!
	1:59am Matt from Springfield: Oh Bobbie, will you ever win? Can you? ...
	2:07am Matt from Springfield: YES Joe! The Surface Noise "Fill In The Blanks" show!!
	2:09am xandor: HOw 'bout Chicago Transit Authority? Would that qualify as a blank? (now to 'rithmatic..)
	♥ 2:13am Joe McG: Sure, xandor, that's a good one! I know for a fact I've never played Chicago!
	2:14am Matt from Springfield: The Mess Around band..according to their FB, their album is "Boner Time!" can you really not say that on the radio?!
	♥ 2:15am Joe McG: Hmmm... I think you CAN say "Boner Time," but I'm not really sure. Better not tempt the FCC.
	2:16am xandor: YEah... kinda like this song..."Bone again"!
	2:18am Matt from Springfield: GSH! Always wonderful!
	2:19am xandor: But I have to say the truly remarkable thing about this whole playlist for me is that it all sounds so FAMILIAR yet I've never heard any of it before (as far as I remember). Uncanny...! ( I hope it's not just the Herradura reposado talking...)
	2:20am xandor: WOw! Such SOUL-ful GSH! RIP!
	♥ 2:22am Joe McG: Ha, the Herradura Reposado is the best drink name in the history of the world.
	2:23am Matt from Springfield: I love reposado tequila! Herradura is a great brand. It's like reposado, xandor...it sounds familiar, because it's been sitting, "reposed" for a while, till Joe brings it strong, vibrant new life! :)
	2:24am Matt from Springfield: Thelma Houston, well-well-well-pre-disco!
	2:25am xandor: Matt, I appreciate your poetic sensibility! And yes, Thelma! Unhh--uNNHH!
	2:27am xandor: This is Mott the HOople? Really?!
	♥ 2:28am Joe McG: @xandor: Yep, this is the last one they made before they packed it in. That's when David Bowie (him again!) got upset and gave them a song if they didn't break up.
	2:31am Matt from Springfield: Poetic "sense and sensibility", xandor! ;)
	2:33am Julie: JIMMMMMM
	2:34am xandor: Gawd...this takes ME back...(9th grade boarding school). Not sure that I've actually heard it since. Am I going to be in detention again?
	♥ 2:35am Joe McG: Oh, good, Julie, I'm glad you're still here. You'll like this next one.
	2:36am Julie: and then KATE...Get outta my records Joe
	2:37am Matt from Springfield: K8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've NEVER heard this one! Special single only release in '86?
	2:37am xandor: ..yeah..I don't remember this either!
	2:37am kiemzi: wow! i did not know that kate bush did the music for the chris elliott movie!
	2:38am Julie: it's a b-side..forget which single
	♥ 2:38am Joe McG: "Hounds of Love." Fetching pic sleeve!
	2:39am xandor: She, famously afraid to fly so never toured N. AMerica!
	2:41am Matt from Springfield: "Hounds of Love" B-side! That's ripe for a bonus track! Like "My Lagan Love", though not as lovely a cappella track.
	2:41am xandor: SOUnds like a John Lennon song...
	2:41am Julie: all that stuff was in the kate Box set, there were two cd's of "rarities" a million years ago
	2:42am Matt from Springfield: @xandor: And yet, did some shows and commercials in Japan! @Julie: Joe's conjured you back! :) Find any more old Kate demos?
	♥ 2:44am Joe McG: Oops! That's damn Kate Bush's fault!
	2:45am Matt from Springfield: @Julie: There was so much special material and releases from the mid 80s, they almost need to put out a super-deluxe version of the deluxe Hounds of Love album (which was great at collecting little bits, like "My Lagan Love" and the Meteorological Mix of "The Big Sky")
	2:46am Matt from Springfield: Hey! That was fantastic @45, JOE! ;)
	♥ 2:47am Joe McG: Kind of spoils the nihilism.
	2:53am xandor: Well, all the younger ones seem to be reviving themselves at the taco carts just now, but me, I'm off to bed. Thanks for the great music, Professor McGasko, and thanks to you (Matt, et. al.) for putting up with my comments. Will tune in again soon! Viva Mexico!
	♥ 2:54am Joe McG: Hey, everybody, thanks for listening! Have yourselves a good week!
	2:58am Matt from Springfield: Aww, over already! Thanks Joe for an always inspiring show! Have a good night everyone! Viva Mexico! Viva Surface Noise! Viva WFMU!!!
	2:58am Emile: Nice set!
