	♥ 9:22am dale: the memory foam is a little disconcerting at first. you feel like you're walking in a bouncy house.
	♥ 9:24am Sem Chumbo: Is there such a thing as memory foam Alzheimers?
	♥ 9:25am Joe McG: I would love to have bouncy houses on my feet. I often dream I'm in a bouncy house.
	9:29am FernandoBelmondo: Happy New Shoes, Joe!
	♥ 9:29am dale: i was just listening to this song this morning. there's a demo version that randy sings as well, just piano - no wall of sound sound.
	9:29am steve: hey Joe! hny everyone!
	♥ 9:31am Sem Chumbo: Comfy shoes and a comfy Fred Rogers cardigan. Now that's living.

	9:32am Marc: Clowns are creepy.
	9:32am steve: that was the perfect song with which to start my year
	9:33am Brendan: Shoe check everybody. What are you wearing today
	♥ 9:34am Sem Chumbo: bedazzled Birkenstocks.
	♥ 9:35am DCE: happy New Year to all, and good morning. Nursing any bad hangovers?
	9:35am Brendan: I'm with you Joe... wearing my comfy Pumas -blue suede with a white stripe
	9:36am Brendan: Hot shoe burning down the Avenue

	9:39am Brendan: Oh wake ye drowsy sleepers
	9:39am Moe: I'm wide awake! and making buckwheat pancakes...
	9:39am PKNY: Happy New Year, Joe and ur'body! The craziest thing I did last night was take a shot of Nyquil at 11:50 to prime me for bed. Man, I'm old. But I'm sure glad not to be laid out this morning!
	9:41am Brendan: Best hangover cure is live pickle eel
	9:42am Brendan: Or if you can't get that try genuine imitation Elk meat
	9:43am PKNY: Here's the link to that Lucas Perny, just downloaded it: freemusicarchive.org...
	♥ 9:43am dale: wife wanted to watch something new years eve-y, so watched dick clark baloney. my one and only viewing of fergie and megan trainor (sp?) and some other white chick rapper with angry looking people doing jazzersize behind them.
	♥ 9:44am fred: I do need new shoes after tearing my best pair. There will be sales soon, which would be ideal. But good cowboy boots are not cheap over here, and I haven't saved enough for the marathon, so shoes will probably have to wait
	♥ 9:47am Sem Chumbo: @fred:Y at-il pas de bons cordonniers à Paris?
	9:47am KP: Ah, the old days
	♥ 9:48am Joe McG: Thanks, PKNY! And thanks Fred, for sacrificing your excellent footwear for WFMU.
	9:49am maja: Gelukkig nieuwjaar Joe and all. The light of this first day is already going salmon and fading. For me a long walk around a quiet lake worked and now i'll be surfing in this surface noise with you all. great start of the year, thanks!! go joe go!
	9:50am mrmucho: Hi Joe, thanks for opening with the Satie, a perfect start to '15.
	♥ 9:51am Joe McG: Lovely image, maja, thank you! You bet, mrmucho! It felt nice to me.
	♥ 9:54am fred: @Sem: There is an excellent cobbler nearby, but there are limits to what he can do. A 2" tear in the leather exceeds those
	♥ 9:55am listener james from westwood: Good 2015 to all and good Thursday, Joe! Thanks for the New Year's Gal Pals!
	♥ 9:55am Guido from Cologne: Happy new year Joe and everyone! I'm half-dead still, not from alcohol but from food poixonkng.
	♥ 9:57am fred: @mrmucho: that was nice indeed. After the second installment of Joy in Repetition, I wasn't surprised to count Joe in Satie's faction
	♥ 9:58am Joe McG: Oh, no, Guido! So terrible. I hope you feel better soon! Hey, LJ!
	♥ 9:58am fred: @Guido: get well soon. I struggled with that earlier this week, it definitely sucks. Almost ruined a great dance show for me.
	10:02am Nanker de Tucson: Nice R Fripp tune HAPPY 2015 to ALL !
	♥ 10:05am Guido from Cologne: Thank youu 4 the wishes my friendds. Let's hope the first day appearrs as the worst day. This will make me satisfied. Anyway starting Satie was just perfect and this show is pretty uplifting!
	♥ 10:05am dale: danielle pre-lemon kittens?
	10:06am Paul D: Happy New Year ;)
	♥ 10:08am Joe McG: @dale: It says on the cover "Danielle Dax courtesy of Lemon Kittens," so I think it was already a going concern! Hey, PD!
	♥ 10:09am Guido from Cologne: I think lemon kittens were zbout the same time, some 1981ish
	♥ 10:10am dale: dark adapted eye has some great stuff on it. i have her solo cd after that too, not as memorable but still fine.
	♥ 10:11am Joe McG: I like her cover of "Tomorrow Never Knows." But then, I like everybody's cover of "Tomorrow Never Knows."
	♥ 10:12am dale: yes, that's on that second solo cd. that's the standout cut to me as well
	♥ 10:12am Guido from Cologne: Pop Eyes is an absolute killer DIY-album. Danielle was never better.
	♥ 10:13am dale: maybe that's a show - 3 hours of tomorrow never knows.
	♥ 10:13am Sem Chumbo: Attracting quite a crowd to this musical fête this morning, Joe.Calls for perhaps a tiny taste of Nova Scotia: www.savourns.com...
	♥ 10:14am Guido from Cologne: Mittagspause is the root-band for Fehlfarben, featuring bridfly a pre-DAF Robert Goerl.
	♥ 10:15am Joe McG: Yum, looks good, Sem! @Guido: What does "In Der Tat" mean? I'd like to think it means "In the Muscle"!
	♥ 10:17am Guido from Cologne: It means "In Fact", though "Tat" directly trenlates to "act"
	10:18am Mark: Really enjoying the triply vibe of Dif Juz and Creation Rebel...
	♥ 10:18am Joe McG: @Guido: Thanks! Still a good title, but not quite as good as "In the Muscle"! :)
	10:18am V Priceless: wow! Cool Be Bop track!
	10:21am mrmucho: There are a couple of BBD clips on youtube worth watching for Nelson's guitar playing. Dude could play.
	♥ 10:21am Guido from Cologne: :-) It is a kind of old fashioned German ... but very distinctively German.
	10:21am V Priceless: love the "Live in The Air Age" version of this
	10:23am b k: Only time I ever saw Be-Bop Deluxe was on a bill with The Jam and Blue Oyster Cult in Wheeling,West Virginia.
	♥ 10:24am Guido from Cologne: Better translation: "Indeed" as "in deed". ... as an approval.
	♥ 10:25am Ken From Hyde Park: Enjoy your pumpkin soup today, all you Haitians out there. Bonne Année!
	♥ 10:27am Joe McG: @bk: Wow, what a weird bill! The Jam? @Ken: Yum, pumpkin soup!
	♥ 10:27am Guido from Cologne: Pumpkin soup! No pumkins available currently over here. What a shame ...
	♥ 10:29am DCE: harsh
	♥ 10:29am fred: Dinah Washington... this officially made my day
	10:31am b k: Yes,even then it was an odd bill.(you know me better as listener #12622,Joe)
	10:32am V Priceless: @ b k - wow! cool bill! I have to assume that was the Jam pre-"Sound Affects", when, personally, I still thought they were great! Ha!
	10:32am Kurt Gottschalk: no promises 're murder reso.
	♥ 10:32am DCE: never made a resolution, but I will take the McGasko challenge and resolve not to tie anybody in a sack and throw them in a river
	10:33am kat330: Yeah, Joe, mo' money! Sending you wishes for such in 2015!
	10:36am KP: Underachievers Please Try Harder
	♥ 10:37am Joe McG: Thanks, kat! DCE! Kurt!
	10:37am kat330: Happy New Year, one and all!
	10:38am Brendan: Can't wait to hear the next song you know what follows beans

	10:39am maja: that's my goal as well! make more money!I really really need to develop my trade skills this year...it's ...just Friends, go to my amateuristic website and see my paintings logbook of my life in oil and watercolorurs, they are for sale!!!! www.marjazomer.nl (sailing through Holland and painting it)
	♥ 10:39am Sem Chumbo: @ Brendan:I wish I were an Oscar Meyer weiner?
	10:39am b k: It was Be Bop Deluxe"s "Drastic Plastic" tour.Their final one,I think.And The Jams First US tour.And BOC in the Godzilla era.
	10:39am kat330: A question on a recent APOD page pondered "What's Creating Methane on Mars?" I answered that easily in their discussion forum: Beefheart knew. It's the Big Eyed Beans from Venus.
	10:39am KP: DCE, let's not be hasty
	♥ 10:39am Joe McG: Wow, they're really beautiful, Maja!
	10:40am Mark: This El Chicano track is bitchin'...
	10:41am V Priceless: sorry for your loss, Joe - been there! Onward and upward for 2015! @ b k - Jam first US? Great stuff! BOC always great! Plus, of course, BBD - Cool!

	10:43am kat330: @marja: I second, Joe -- lovely work!
	10:43am maja: thank you joe! spread the word: FOR SALE!! (hahahaha) Love you all wfmu
	♥ 10:44am DCE: 1970 was a great year for organs, Guido!

	♥ 10:45am Joe McG: @sugarwolf: I'm sure it will be! Thanks so much!
	10:47am sugarwolf: This year I want to read all the books I bought last year.
	♥ 10:47am Stanley: Woke up this new year's morning, thought to turn on WFMU, as you do and was greeted to a long one note track followed by what sounded like someone trying to clear his throat. I just love this station. Currently grooving in the kitchen, keep it up Joe.
	♥ 10:47am Joe McG: Ah, Stanley, that's what we're all about. Thanks, and happy new year!
	10:48am maja: @kat330, thank you!
	♥ 10:50am Joe McG: Sugarwolf has a good resolution. Anybody else have a good one besides murder (stay away from Kurt)?

	♥ 10:52am Joe McG: Thanks for joining me, Steve!
	10:53am KP: Super Pleasant Valley Sunday
	♥ 10:56am dale: was having some french toast and washing dishes (not at same time) but am back. joe - i was told that if you put change face side up on you windowsill outside that you will have good fortune. worth a try, even with canadian change.
	10:57am steve: My New Years res last year was spend at least 15 minutes a day every day working on getting my little one man business off the ground, and document what I've done every day in a notebook. it appears to have worked but now this years is to actually make some dam money!
	10:57am kat330: @Joe McG: I don't do resolutions usually, but just now thought how I'll try not to waste my time with people who take more than they give back, whether that's in their time or other resources. Problem is it requires some time usually to figure out who the takers are.
	♥ 10:57am listener james from westwood: Deep dive into the Divinyls much appreciated!
	♥ 10:58am Joe McG: @dlae: I'll give it a go! @steve: Congrats! I'm sure in 2015 it will be ever forward. @kat330: How does that lyric in "The End" go? "In the end, the love we take is equal to the love we make." Hopefully!
	♥ 10:59am dale: i touch myself sometimes, but then i feel really ashamed.
	♥ 11:00am fred: @kat330: sounds like a good plan, as long as you still take time to share some of your creative output with us
	♥ 11:00am Ken From Hyde Park: I have nothing for 2015, but I'm thinking about putting off procrastinating until 2016.
	♥ 11:01am dale: gorgeous art maja - especially the misty landscapes
	♥ 11:03am Andrew Waterloo: My New Years resolution is to eat more junk food.
	11:03am kat330: @fred: Oh, it will always be found here or there -- but more there, apparently. ;) Yet also "here" now in the local Lullville area air- and streamwaves, which I guess is like locavore music. Ck. out my SC and BC and FMA from time to time.
	11:03am Mike Sin: Well all right! Happy new year to Joe and his listeners! So glad to be waking up on the first morning of 2015 listening to this show! Gentleman Joe's show always makes me feel positive.
	♥ 11:04am Joe McG: @Andrew: Ha! Shouldn't be hard to achieve!
	♥ 11:04am Joe McG: Hey, Mike! Nice words from a truly nice man. Happy new year!
	11:04am kat330: @fred: Oh, and Bonne Année to you, too!
	11:05am maja: agree with steve, groovy and i've cried, warm welcome tears and danced wild on the music and thought about old things and smoked and remembered and the show is my train going all along the different places. but writing is a burden so... just want to say very nice to be to share this place, with you all but now i'm almost melting ... wath the hell is this?
	11:05am kat330: @Mike: Happy New Year, Mr. Sin!
	11:06am Brendan: The grand arrangement of chorus vocals on the He aint heavy version song reminds me of a movie I saw on TCM last night showing some vintage Elvis concerts. He had some phenomenal back up singers and musicians around him and the music was suitably arranged to showcase them that really impressed me
	11:06am maja: Uplifting?
	11:09am V Priceless: Christina Amphlett
	11:09am pop: Chrissie Amphlett - divinely
	11:09am pop: Divinyls that is
	11:14am PeterRarebit: At this moment, I'm writing a novel set in Catholic school in 1980. Please play whatever I was listening to then, from WPGC, and I'll be good. Something nunny-priesty-abusivey. Thanks.
	♥ 11:19am dale: ha ha! bunches and gobs of woman, there....
	♥ 11:20am Andrew Waterloo: wow.. Mario Kart 8 expansion pack is over 1 gigabyte.,,,
	♥ 11:22am Joe McG: Erk, sorry for that last one, played the wrong track! I try to avoid "my girlfriend is so fat" songs.
	11:23am Brendan: Bunches and gobs ha ha Ha
	♥ 11:24am dale: i was hoping to hear some hank or rick nelson today, both lost on new years day
	11:25am SeanG: just found out about the term,"rickrolling"--hahaha
	♥ 11:25am dale: did townes van zandt do a cover of this alone and forsaken? he has some tunes that have that minor key gothic thing going on.
	♥ 11:26am dale: holy crap - that was freaky!
	11:26am KP: heh
	♥ 11:26am Joe McG: Mini-tirbute to the gone boys of New Year's Day....
	♥ 11:27am Joe McG: @dale: I think you're thinking of "Waiting Round to Die."
	11:28am fleep: Greetings from chilly Los Angeles, Joe and Noise fans. A crisp new 2015 awaits.
	♥ 11:29am dale: i didn't realize townes died on new years. i remember merideth ochs did a big show when he passed
	11:30am blee: @fleep Crispy New Years indeed.
	♥ 11:31am Joe McG: Hey. fleep! After burning up in the summer, now it's time to get frosty!
	11:31am V Priceless: this is a bit Hearty Whitesque!
	♥ 11:33am fred: Great set Joe! Nice to hear something else from Jeannie C. Riley, and a good one too
	♥ 11:34am dale: i love the documentary about townes- over the closing credits he's just putting on different trucker caps with feed mill names and such and trying not to laugh
	11:35am KP: Who would win the gloom & doom showdown: Townes, Randy Newman, Leonard Cohen, Richard Thompson, Gene Clark
	11:37am kat330: @KP: Not Newman. He's always got "I Love L.A." and "You've Got a Friend in Me" to offset anything too cynical.
	♥ 11:38am dale: remember the mad tv randy newman/rob zombie duets?
	11:39am kat330: And add Nick Cave to that list.
	11:43am KP: but does he really Love LA?
	♥ 11:43am dale: jackson c. frank. nick drake....
	♥ 11:43am Joe McG: @KP: I think Thompson wins. "The End of the Rainbow" is the bleakest song ever written.
	11:43am KP: Nick Cave has gloom cornered.
	11:44am kat330: @Joe & KP: But then Thompson did that marvelous cover of Spears' "Oops, I Did It Again."
	♥ 11:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...noirce to have a Thur. off & New Years dawgity digging yer playlist Mr. JM in the A.M. Sir... - btw, Thx Again for your unfailing patience & politeness w/ practical Pledging matters... ...Mark Lanegan deserves a seat @ the Glum Puppet table...Shoot - so many of my faves sittin' there !!...
	♥ 11:47am Sem Chumbo: Memorable start to the new year, Joe McG, much appreciated, and hope to hear you again next Thursday, if the gods allow.
	11:47am kat330: @RR: Yeah, I was just noticing how I've covered so many in KP's list!
	♥ 11:48am Joe McG: No problem, RRN63, thanks for joining in! @Sem: If the good Lord's willin' and the creek don't rise....
	♥ 11:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Matt Johnson, Ed KaSpell...a certain Ian Curtis...
	♥ 11:49am fred: Speaking of gloom... my favorite record of last year was Farthest South's Neurim, featuring listener Yair. Not a cheerful record, even though I don't understand a word of it. Just a great one
	11:50am kat330: Tom's voice never sounded so silken -- or hasn't since.
	♥ 11:52am Joe McG: @fred: I'll check it out! I like that Bohren and der Club of Gore record for gloom from 2014.
	11:52am melinda: One of my favorite Tom Waits songs.
	11:53am kat330: @Joe McG: So glad I tuned in this brand-spankin' new year / And thanks for all your good cheer!

	11:55am V Priceless: back at you, Joe! Thank-you! You rock!
	11:56am LilyAbigale: Than you for the best, first WFMU listen oif the brand spankingnew year!
	11:56am SeanG: have a great 2015 everyone
	♥ 11:56am 12539: Thanks, Joe!
	♥ 11:56am fred: Again, happy new year Joe, and thanks for coming to the station at this early hour today
	11:57am Mike Sin: Really great show, Joe! Thanks for making the first morning of 2015 quite special! Happy new year everyone!
	11:57am Julia: that was a pretty tune! I had to come and look at the playlist. Thanks for a great show.
	11:57am the Canterbury wood-elf: Thanks for another great show Joe. A perfect start to my year. Wishing you a splendiferous 2015!

	♥ 9:18am Joe McG: @dale: Ha ha! Sometimes I wear my Sketchers when I'm on the radio, but today I'm sporting my navy blue Pumas with purple piping.
	♥ 9:22am dale: the memory foam is a little disconcerting at first. you feel like you're walking in a bouncy house.
	♥ 9:24am Sem Chumbo: Is there such a thing as memory foam Alzheimers?
	♥ 9:25am Joe McG: I would love to have bouncy houses on my feet. I often dream I'm in a bouncy house.
	9:29am FernandoBelmondo: Happy New Shoes, Joe!
	♥ 9:29am dale: i was just listening to this song this morning. there's a demo version that randy sings as well, just piano - no wall of sound sound.
	9:29am steve: hey Joe! hny everyone!

	9:39am PKNY: Happy New Year, Joe and ur'body! The craziest thing I did last night was take a shot of Nyquil at 11:50 to prime me for bed. Man, I'm old. But I'm sure glad not to be laid out this morning!
	9:41am Brendan: Best hangover cure is live pickle eel
	9:42am Brendan: Or if you can't get that try genuine imitation Elk meat
	9:43am PKNY: Here's the link to that Lucas Perny, just downloaded it: freemusicarchive.org...
	♥ 9:43am dale: wife wanted to watch something new years eve-y, so watched dick clark baloney. my one and only viewing of fergie and megan trainor (sp?) and some other white chick rapper with angry looking people doing jazzersize behind them.
	♥ 9:44am fred: I do need new shoes after tearing my best pair. There will be sales soon, which would be ideal. But good cowboy boots are not cheap over here, and I haven't saved enough for the marathon, so shoes will probably have to wait
	♥ 9:47am Sem Chumbo: @fred:Y at-il pas de bons cordonniers à Paris?
	9:47am KP: Ah, the old days
	♥ 9:48am Joe McG: Thanks, PKNY! And thanks Fred, for sacrificing your excellent footwear for WFMU.

	9:50am mrmucho: Hi Joe, thanks for opening with the Satie, a perfect start to '15.
	♥ 9:51am Joe McG: Lovely image, maja, thank you! You bet, mrmucho! It felt nice to me.
	♥ 9:54am fred: @Sem: There is an excellent cobbler nearby, but there are limits to what he can do. A 2" tear in the leather exceeds those
	♥ 9:55am listener james from westwood: Good 2015 to all and good Thursday, Joe! Thanks for the New Year's Gal Pals!
	♥ 9:55am Guido from Cologne: Happy new year Joe and everyone! I'm half-dead still, not from alcohol but from food poixonkng.
	♥ 9:57am fred: @mrmucho: that was nice indeed. After the second installment of Joy in Repetition, I wasn't surprised to count Joe in Satie's faction
	♥ 9:58am Joe McG: Oh, no, Guido! So terrible. I hope you feel better soon! Hey, LJ!
	♥ 9:58am fred: @Guido: get well soon. I struggled with that earlier this week, it definitely sucks. Almost ruined a great dance show for me.
	10:02am Nanker de Tucson: Nice R Fripp tune HAPPY 2015 to ALL !
	♥ 10:05am Guido from Cologne: Thank youu 4 the wishes my friendds. Let's hope the first day appearrs as the worst day. This will make me satisfied. Anyway starting Satie was just perfect and this show is pretty uplifting!
	♥ 10:05am dale: danielle pre-lemon kittens?
	10:06am Paul D: Happy New Year ;)
	♥ 10:08am Joe McG: @dale: It says on the cover "Danielle Dax courtesy of Lemon Kittens," so I think it was already a going concern! Hey, PD!
	♥ 10:09am Guido from Cologne: I think lemon kittens were zbout the same time, some 1981ish
	♥ 10:10am dale: dark adapted eye has some great stuff on it. i have her solo cd after that too, not as memorable but still fine.
	♥ 10:11am Joe McG: I like her cover of "Tomorrow Never Knows." But then, I like everybody's cover of "Tomorrow Never Knows."
	♥ 10:12am dale: yes, that's on that second solo cd. that's the standout cut to me as well
	♥ 10:12am Guido from Cologne: Pop Eyes is an absolute killer DIY-album. Danielle was never better.
	♥ 10:13am dale: maybe that's a show - 3 hours of tomorrow never knows.
	♥ 10:13am Sem Chumbo: Attracting quite a crowd to this musical fête this morning, Joe.Calls for perhaps a tiny taste of Nova Scotia: www.savourns.com...
	♥ 10:14am Guido from Cologne: Mittagspause is the root-band for Fehlfarben, featuring bridfly a pre-DAF Robert Goerl.
	♥ 10:15am Joe McG: Yum, looks good, Sem! @Guido: What does "In Der Tat" mean? I'd like to think it means "In the Muscle"!
	♥ 10:17am Guido from Cologne: It means "In Fact", though "Tat" directly trenlates to "act"
	10:18am Mark: Really enjoying the triply vibe of Dif Juz and Creation Rebel...
	♥ 10:18am Joe McG: @Guido: Thanks! Still a good title, but not quite as good as "In the Muscle"! :)
	10:18am V Priceless: wow! Cool Be Bop track!
	10:21am mrmucho: There are a couple of BBD clips on youtube worth watching for Nelson's guitar playing. Dude could play.
	♥ 10:21am Guido from Cologne: :-) It is a kind of old fashioned German ... but very distinctively German.
	10:21am V Priceless: love the "Live in The Air Age" version of this
	10:23am b k: Only time I ever saw Be-Bop Deluxe was on a bill with The Jam and Blue Oyster Cult in Wheeling,West Virginia.
	♥ 10:24am Guido from Cologne: Better translation: "Indeed" as "in deed". ... as an approval.
	♥ 10:25am Ken From Hyde Park: Enjoy your pumpkin soup today, all you Haitians out there. Bonne Année!
	♥ 10:27am Joe McG: @bk: Wow, what a weird bill! The Jam? @Ken: Yum, pumpkin soup!
	♥ 10:27am Guido from Cologne: Pumpkin soup! No pumkins available currently over here. What a shame ...
	♥ 10:29am DCE: harsh
	♥ 10:29am fred: Dinah Washington... this officially made my day
	10:31am b k: Yes,even then it was an odd bill.(you know me better as listener #12622,Joe)
	10:32am V Priceless: @ b k - wow! cool bill! I have to assume that was the Jam pre-"Sound Affects", when, personally, I still thought they were great! Ha!
	10:32am Kurt Gottschalk: no promises 're murder reso.
	♥ 10:32am DCE: never made a resolution, but I will take the McGasko challenge and resolve not to tie anybody in a sack and throw them in a river

	♥ 10:39am Sem Chumbo: @ Brendan:I wish I were an Oscar Meyer weiner?
	10:39am b k: It was Be Bop Deluxe"s "Drastic Plastic" tour.Their final one,I think.And The Jams First US tour.And BOC in the Godzilla era.
	10:39am kat330: A question on a recent APOD page pondered "What's Creating Methane on Mars?" I answered that easily in their discussion forum: Beefheart knew. It's the Big Eyed Beans from Venus.
	10:39am KP: DCE, let's not be hasty
	♥ 10:39am Joe McG: Wow, they're really beautiful, Maja!
	10:40am Mark: This El Chicano track is bitchin'...
	10:41am V Priceless: sorry for your loss, Joe - been there! Onward and upward for 2015! @ b k - Jam first US? Great stuff! BOC always great! Plus, of course, BBD - Cool!

	♥ 10:45am Joe McG: @sugarwolf: I'm sure it will be! Thanks so much!
	10:47am sugarwolf: This year I want to read all the books I bought last year.
	♥ 10:47am Stanley: Woke up this new year's morning, thought to turn on WFMU, as you do and was greeted to a long one note track followed by what sounded like someone trying to clear his throat. I just love this station. Currently grooving in the kitchen, keep it up Joe.
	♥ 10:47am Joe McG: Ah, Stanley, that's what we're all about. Thanks, and happy new year!
	10:48am maja: @kat330, thank you!

	10:53am KP: Super Pleasant Valley Sunday
	♥ 10:56am dale: was having some french toast and washing dishes (not at same time) but am back. joe - i was told that if you put change face side up on you windowsill outside that you will have good fortune. worth a try, even with canadian change.
	10:57am steve: My New Years res last year was spend at least 15 minutes a day every day working on getting my little one man business off the ground, and document what I've done every day in a notebook. it appears to have worked but now this years is to actually make some dam money!
	10:57am kat330: @Joe McG: I don't do resolutions usually, but just now thought how I'll try not to waste my time with people who take more than they give back, whether that's in their time or other resources. Problem is it requires some time usually to figure out who the takers are.
	♥ 10:57am listener james from westwood: Deep dive into the Divinyls much appreciated!
	♥ 10:58am Joe McG: @dlae: I'll give it a go! @steve: Congrats! I'm sure in 2015 it will be ever forward. @kat330: How does that lyric in "The End" go? "In the end, the love we take is equal to the love we make." Hopefully!
	♥ 10:59am dale: i touch myself sometimes, but then i feel really ashamed.
	♥ 11:00am fred: @kat330: sounds like a good plan, as long as you still take time to share some of your creative output with us
	♥ 11:00am Ken From Hyde Park: I have nothing for 2015, but I'm thinking about putting off procrastinating until 2016.
	♥ 11:01am dale: gorgeous art maja - especially the misty landscapes
	♥ 11:03am Andrew Waterloo: My New Years resolution is to eat more junk food.
	11:03am kat330: @fred: Oh, it will always be found here or there -- but more there, apparently. ;) Yet also "here" now in the local Lullville area air- and streamwaves, which I guess is like locavore music. Ck. out my SC and BC and FMA from time to time.
	11:03am Mike Sin: Well all right! Happy new year to Joe and his listeners! So glad to be waking up on the first morning of 2015 listening to this show! Gentleman Joe's show always makes me feel positive.
	♥ 11:04am Joe McG: @Andrew: Ha! Shouldn't be hard to achieve!
	♥ 11:04am Joe McG: Hey, Mike! Nice words from a truly nice man. Happy new year!
	11:04am kat330: @fred: Oh, and Bonne Année to you, too!
	11:05am maja: agree with steve, groovy and i've cried, warm welcome tears and danced wild on the music and thought about old things and smoked and remembered and the show is my train going all along the different places. but writing is a burden so... just want to say very nice to be to share this place, with you all but now i'm almost melting ... wath the hell is this?
	11:05am kat330: @Mike: Happy New Year, Mr. Sin!
	11:06am Brendan: The grand arrangement of chorus vocals on the He aint heavy version song reminds me of a movie I saw on TCM last night showing some vintage Elvis concerts. He had some phenomenal back up singers and musicians around him and the music was suitably arranged to showcase them that really impressed me
	11:06am maja: Uplifting?
	11:09am V Priceless: Christina Amphlett
	11:09am pop: Chrissie Amphlett - divinely
	11:09am pop: Divinyls that is
	11:14am PeterRarebit: At this moment, I'm writing a novel set in Catholic school in 1980. Please play whatever I was listening to then, from WPGC, and I'll be good. Something nunny-priesty-abusivey. Thanks.
	♥ 11:19am dale: ha ha! bunches and gobs of woman, there....
	♥ 11:20am Andrew Waterloo: wow.. Mario Kart 8 expansion pack is over 1 gigabyte.,,,
	♥ 11:22am Joe McG: Erk, sorry for that last one, played the wrong track! I try to avoid "my girlfriend is so fat" songs.
	11:23am Brendan: Bunches and gobs ha ha Ha
	♥ 11:24am dale: i was hoping to hear some hank or rick nelson today, both lost on new years day
	11:25am SeanG: just found out about the term,"rickrolling"--hahaha
	♥ 11:25am dale: did townes van zandt do a cover of this alone and forsaken? he has some tunes that have that minor key gothic thing going on.
	♥ 11:26am dale: holy crap - that was freaky!
	11:26am KP: heh
	♥ 11:26am Joe McG: Mini-tirbute to the gone boys of New Year's Day....
	♥ 11:27am Joe McG: @dale: I think you're thinking of "Waiting Round to Die."
	11:28am fleep: Greetings from chilly Los Angeles, Joe and Noise fans. A crisp new 2015 awaits.
	♥ 11:29am dale: i didn't realize townes died on new years. i remember merideth ochs did a big show when he passed
	11:30am blee: @fleep Crispy New Years indeed.
	♥ 11:31am Joe McG: Hey. fleep! After burning up in the summer, now it's time to get frosty!
	11:31am V Priceless: this is a bit Hearty Whitesque!
	♥ 11:33am fred: Great set Joe! Nice to hear something else from Jeannie C. Riley, and a good one too
	♥ 11:34am dale: i love the documentary about townes- over the closing credits he's just putting on different trucker caps with feed mill names and such and trying not to laugh
	11:35am KP: Who would win the gloom & doom showdown: Townes, Randy Newman, Leonard Cohen, Richard Thompson, Gene Clark
	11:37am kat330: @KP: Not Newman. He's always got "I Love L.A." and "You've Got a Friend in Me" to offset anything too cynical.
	♥ 11:38am dale: remember the mad tv randy newman/rob zombie duets?
	11:39am kat330: And add Nick Cave to that list.
	11:43am KP: but does he really Love LA?
	♥ 11:43am dale: jackson c. frank. nick drake....
	♥ 11:43am Joe McG: @KP: I think Thompson wins. "The End of the Rainbow" is the bleakest song ever written.
	11:43am KP: Nick Cave has gloom cornered.
	11:44am kat330: @Joe & KP: But then Thompson did that marvelous cover of Spears' "Oops, I Did It Again."
	♥ 11:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...noirce to have a Thur. off & New Years dawgity digging yer playlist Mr. JM in the A.M. Sir... - btw, Thx Again for your unfailing patience & politeness w/ practical Pledging matters... ...Mark Lanegan deserves a seat @ the Glum Puppet table...Shoot - so many of my faves sittin' there !!...
	♥ 11:47am Sem Chumbo: Memorable start to the new year, Joe McG, much appreciated, and hope to hear you again next Thursday, if the gods allow.
	11:47am kat330: @RR: Yeah, I was just noticing how I've covered so many in KP's list!
	♥ 11:48am Joe McG: No problem, RRN63, thanks for joining in! @Sem: If the good Lord's willin' and the creek don't rise....
	♥ 11:48am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Matt Johnson, Ed KaSpell...a certain Ian Curtis...
	♥ 11:49am fred: Speaking of gloom... my favorite record of last year was Farthest South's Neurim, featuring listener Yair. Not a cheerful record, even though I don't understand a word of it. Just a great one
	11:50am kat330: Tom's voice never sounded so silken -- or hasn't since.
	♥ 11:52am Joe McG: @fred: I'll check it out! I like that Bohren and der Club of Gore record for gloom from 2014.
	11:52am melinda: One of my favorite Tom Waits songs.
	11:53am kat330: @Joe McG: So glad I tuned in this brand-spankin' new year / And thanks for all your good cheer!
