Listener comments!
	12:08am Andrew Waterloo: Good evening
	12:09am Holly in NC: Good evening, indeed!
	♥ 12:12am Joe McG: Good evening, Andrew and Holly! Hope you are feeling well and irie.
	12:13am KP: Hello, Joe.
	♥ 12:15am Joe McG: Howdy, KP.
	12:20am 12539: (I'm not lurking, I'm just being very very quiet.)
	♥ 12:22am Joe McG: @12539: Lurking not shirking!
	12:37am Matt from Springfield: Yo yo yo-yo, Joe! Hey Joe and everyone! Not purely a dub show, of course, but always welcome to play a little!
	12:38am Andrew Waterloo: I'm reading, and this is a good soundtrack.
	12:39am Matt from Springfield: Shirk? This brings up an old Fraggle song, but I love the lyrics here: "Does a Doozer ever doze Does a Doozer shirk Does a Doozer thumb his nose At doing Doozer work?"
	12:40am Matt from Springfield: Safe harbor I hope? Always lookin' out for the station.
	♥ 12:40am Joe McG: Hey, Matt, what's up? Is a Doozer anything like a Dozer? (I think we're OK.)
	12:41am Matt from Springfield: Oh YAY!!!! I've heard this album before in the last few days, but I'm so proud the comp "Go Go Get Down: Pure Ghetto Funk from Washington DC" has honored the artists of my locality!
	12:43am Matt from Springfield: @Joe: Doozers are little, productive construction workers who build crystalline towers out of radish dust...unless someone's smokin' something weird, I don't expect anyone to see them now! ;)
	12:43am Holly in NC: It's a great comp, Matt
	♥ 12:44am Joe McG: You're lucky, Matt, to have go go in your back yard!
	12:48am Matt from Springfield: Chuck Brown! RIP. Go Go is more a funk offshoot than this original generation funk, but that 70s style of funk is still played at many parties and clubs even to this day! Most of the rest has faded from style, but around DC you still have 70s style funk singers and horn sections playing every weekend!
	♥ 12:52am Joe McG: @Matt: Very cool indeed.
	12:52am Holly in NC: Cool cover! Original is all time fave.
	♥ 12:54am Joe McG: @Holly: I love the gender switch.
	12:55am Matt from Springfield: Was "Wake Up and Make Love with Me" performed by someone else originally, with switched genders?
	12:57am Holly in NC: Yes, this guy ;-)
	♥ 12:59am Joe McG: @Matt: A big hit for Ian Dury in the UK, I think!
	12:59am Matt from Springfield: Sir Ian! Love that guy! ;) "pub rock", "punk", AND "postpunk"!
	1:00am Matt from Springfield: Oh, and hiya Holly! And 12539 if you're still out there!
	1:02am Matt from Springfield: WFMU! ALWAYS another reason to be cheerful!!! :)
	1:02am Holly in NC: Btw Joe, your beat matching this set is amazing - you found the gogo in a Brit!
	♥ 1:04am Joe McG: Thanks, Holly! If Ian only knew....
	1:04am 12539: Hi Matt. I was falling asleep but Claudja woke me up.
	1:04am Matt from Springfield: Kings, Princes and Dukes in reggae, didn't know "King Obstinate" was one of the Kings!
	1:05am Matt from Springfield: Huzzah 12539! This set is worth staying awake for! :)
	1:07am Matt from Springfield: Ow ow ow owwwwwwllll!!! ;D
	♥ 1:08am Joe McG: Ha ha ha!
	1:08am Holly in NC: Another super fabulous classic! Xo
	1:10am Matt from Springfield: "Our insurance doesn't COVER it!!!" Score one to societal satire!!! And a cheer that "pre-existing condition" will be permanently covered in a year from now!
	1:12am Matt from Springfield: Wow, this xylophone melody was Liquid Liquid?? I've heard this before, somewhere...didn't realize the "White Lines" backing track people came up with this. Was it used for a PSA anywhere? That melody sounds familiar.
	1:13am Holly in NC: This is a close to perfect set, Joe, love the trajectory
	♥ 1:15am Joe McG: Somehow we've gone back to the UK, not sure how!
	1:20am Matt from Springfield: Eclectic little new release from Muscles of Joy!
	♥ 1:21am Joe McG: They performed live on The Long Rally a few months ago... Glaswegian lasses.
	1:21am Julie: great song!
	♥ 1:23am Joe McG: I just realized I played the wrong song, ugh! Record sides used to be so easy to detect.
	1:23am Holly in NC: Hi Julie!
	1:26am Matt from Springfield: Well, at least we got a good cut from Glaswegian Muscles of Joy! :) And good late-evening there, Julie! :)
	1:27am Julie: Hiya Matt & Holly, and Joe McGee
	1:30am Matt from Springfield: Joe's made his "bed" in Jamaica tonight!
	1:31am Holly in NC: I wish Doug S was listening, we have a running thing about spiders
	1:33am Matt from Springfield: Country music and sunshine pop! Works for me!
	1:34am Matt from Springfield: Hey Holly, did you know that I'm selling a shower stall guaranteed not to have spiders drop in on it? ;D
	♥ 1:37am Joe McG: @Holly: I don't get Doug too often, alas. He's having a nice sleep out there in Pittsburgh, I hope!
	1:37am Matt from Springfield: Neon Philharmonic!! "Morn-ing Girlllll" Did you eat your box of Cheeriosssssssss, and powder up your pretty nossssssse? :)
	1:38am Matt from Springfield: @Joe: Thanks though for recommending that Korean set to Doug recently, liked that guy!
	1:39am Julie: Part of this guy's voice reminds me of Al Stewart
	♥ 1:39am Joe McG: @Matt: Doug is my radio idol. Influencing him in any way is a great honor.
	♥ 1:40am Joe McG: @Julie: Hi, BTW! And you're right, he DOES sound a bit like Al.
	1:43am Matt from Springfield: Al's next all-acoustic tour: playing acoustic guitar and performing late 60s pop ballads, including Neon Philharmonic, Gary Puckett and Cat Stevens!
	1:44am Holly in NC: @Matt - if also guarantee no cave crickets leaping out of drain I'll take 2!
	1:44am Matt from Springfield: During my week in London I went to Portobello Road's Saturday market--great place to go if you're in London. Very crowded, but you're bound to find something you like there!
	1:46am Matt from Springfield: @Holly: Sure, for a monthly cricket-free maintenance fee ;)
	1:46am Julie: what about Palmettos?
	♥ 1:46am Joe McG: @Matt: I liked it myself when I went, although I didn't see anybody named Leon smiling, at least as far as I know.
	1:47am Holly in NC: I really do like the Cars.
	1:49am Matt from Springfield: Julie: Whoa! Palmettos, stinkbugs and Junebugs are just a part of Southern life! No one can prevent those!!
	1:51am northguineahills: I'm so glad I no longer I have to deal w/ palmetto bugs anymore.
	1:51am Holly in NC: No palmettos in bathroom, thank goodness. Slugs, though. How they get in no idea. Will have to start leaving saucers of beer by the commode!
	1:53am Matt from Springfield: Hey former Floridian NGH! @Holly: Don't know if they'll walk into salt, but it sure dissolves slugs!
	1:54am northguineahills: Yes, indeedy, I'm Floridian bred.
	1:58am Matt from Springfield: Good vocals from Joe Henderson! (And from somewhat-forgotten Fontella, of course!)
	1:59am Holly in NC: @ngh - the palmettos are esp large this year, at least in Durham. Fuckers.
	2:02am Holly in NC: When I djd in western MA, highest rated show was Sat am polka show, it was umtouchable
	2:03am northguineahills: The really big ones would succumb to a good stomp, you'd have kick them a few times, if they didn't fly away, and then, if successful, you have to deal w/ the sulfur-esque aroma. I've been having many polka conversations WFMU'ers in the last week, oddly (or not) enough.
	2:04am Matt from Springfield: @Holly: And why not? Those fans of that show will listen EVERY week, cause no one else is playin' it!
	2:07am Matt from Springfield: NASA is in fact hiring, IF you're a physical scientist--social scientists need not apply (I don't have enough hard science background--then again it's tough to make the astronaut cut, I probably wouldn't make that anyway). But, if you're a physical scientist, in great shape and having great vision, you just might become an astronaut!
	2:08am Holly in NC: Who did the lovely vocals on Wanted - didn't catch name, sorry.
	2:08am Matt from Springfield: "Rescue Me" B-side!! Thanks Joe!!
	2:13am KP: Ambien punk rock?
	2:13am Brian in UK: Mornin' Joe, Matt, ngh, Holly. Hard to believe but I was singing (to myself) Portobello Road last week. Matthew & Son that this single comes from was my first bought album. Paper round money.
	♥ 2:14am Joe McG: @KP: Yes, they drive around without remembering where they went listening to the Ramones.
	2:15am KP: My Words With Friends sound effects are playing through the radio. Hope that is not too distracting.
	2:16am KP: That sounds like 20 of my best years.
	♥ 2:16am Joe McG: @Brian: Hi, Brian! A fine first album, indeed!
	♥ 2:17am Joe McG: My first album was "Young and Rich" by the Tubes. I wonder what THAT means!
	♥ 2:18am Joe McG: What was everyone's first album?
	2:20am Holly in NC: Hi Brian! In these parts kids don't have paper routes anymore - all routes covered by adults, with cars. Sad on several levels.
	2:25am Holly in NC: Tough question - K-Tel Dynamite, Donny Osmond, waylon Jennings all in running...and inherited Hello Muddah & Felix the Cat 7ins
	2:25am KP: Paul Revere and the Raiders Greatest Hits? That would be a little later on for me but I mostly listened to records at friends' houses.
	2:29am KP: One of those friends, the No. 1 one, and I went to see mark Lindsay in city a few years ago. It was fantastic and quite emotional.
	♥ 2:29am Joe McG: These are all great answers!
	2:29am Holly in NC: And as far as lps purchasef FOR me, cruel family made me cry via Puff & terrified me via Snow White. Trauma.
	2:31am KP: This Bonnie Dobson wrote Morning Dew? Wowzer!
	2:32am mark: Evening all. Pretty sure mine was BTO's Not Fragile. Still like that one I must say.
	♥ 2:33am Joe McG: @KP: Yep, she even rerecorded it on this very album. @Mark: Hey, Mark! You have nothing to be ashamed of.
	2:35am KP: I will have to look into that. Awaiting Jade, that will be my second ever album.
	2:36am Holly in NC: I believe BTO's Takin' Care of Business is on K-Tel Dynamite...
	2:41am Holly in NC: Lee. Love.
	♥ 2:43am Joe McG: I play a lot of Lee Hazlewood. Can't help it.
	2:46am KP: Set em up Joe.
	2:48am KP: Has there been a lee Hazelwood cover album? Is that a stupid question?
	♥ 2:48am Joe McG: I just had a sublime radio nerd moment: The lyric "It's quarter to three..." played exactly at 2:45.
	2:49am Holly in NC: Another great segue! Joe, you & Mary Wing need to have a segue throwdown. And Monica.
	2:50am KP: And set up by Joe.
	2:51am Holly in NC: Oh now you're just showing off ;-)
	2:52am KP: Those personal transportation things? You and Mary could joust in them.
	♥ 2:52am Joe McG: @Holly: You just mentioned my name among some pretty primo company, Holly. I'm all a-flutter.
	2:54am Holly in NC: and now you're making me cry. Great song.
	2:57am KP: Well I know that tune. Fun again joe, see ya holly.
