	9:47am pierre: The Housemartins !!! I think a bit of The Housemartins can actually take sadness away
	9:49am Parq: Happy New Year, Joe. Someone has to post this. 28.media.tumblr.com...
	9:51am d¢ pät: Year of Goat. "The sign is also referred to as the Ram or Sheep sign." So Joe McG is correct again.
	9:51am Marcel M: Hi Joe and friends. Good morning
	9:52am katie: Field Mice!!!happy thurs. and live!
	9:54am Joe McG: Thanks, Parq, nice to see you! Hi, Katie!

	9:56am Greg from Bloomfield: Morning, gang! Aaaaaand clicky-star!
	9:59am Sem Chumbo: What a great way to join the show. Love English Beat! Hiya, Joe, and Noises.
	10:01am Joe McG: @Sem: I'm not actually sure if I can play this song on the radio. I guess it depends on your interpretation.
	10:01am d¢ pät: Rode in to the office today, had about 80 layers on but not too bad. Potomac River is frozen with snow on it.
	10:02am d¢ pät: 10 degrees F.
	👻 10:02am Brian in UK: Nevere got used to them being called English Beat.
	10:03am sphere: fortunately this is my telework day so im nice and cozy.
	10:03am Joe McG: @Brian: It's Paul Collins' fault. He had the market cornered on "Beat" over here. How are you feeling, BTW?
	10:08am Sem Chumbo: @Joe: after a careful contextual reading of the lyrics, if I were some kind of prude or other, I might suggest JACKPOT is kinda sketchy towards the last third. :-P. Loved it myself.
	10:09am Kung Fu Goat: Who wants some of this!
	👻 10:10am Brian in UK: Good thanks.
	10:13am the Canterbury wood-elf: What, I missed a Field Mice bootleg?? Happy GoatYear Joe 'n' all...
	10:16am Joe McG: @Elf: Collection of oldie-moldie live stuff orig. released in 1992. @Sem: Oh, yes, sketchy indeed!
	10:19am Kung Fu Goat: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pveYo3oOFl0 (Ram instrumental)
	👻 10:22am doctorjazz: Man, another blast from the past, reminds of the Mudd Club...
	10:32am MenfussMike: damn, I missed the Bolocko
	10:34am fleep: Gung Hay Fat Choy, y'all.
	10:36am Joe McG: HNY, fleep!
	10:39am Claw!: Aw, sweet, sweet Lesley... :(
	10:39am Sem Chumbo: Ahhhh, Joe:-)
	10:39am Fuzzy: The best Lesley Gore song.
	10:45am Brendan: Once there was a silly old ram Thought he'd punch a hole in a dam No one could make that ram, scram He kept buttin' that dam Damn!
	10:45am V Priceless: Hardy Har Har?
	10:46am PKNY: G'TZAG, Joe and everybody! Don't think I've ever heard this Happy Day track before, both break-tastic, and left me wondering why I've never heard this on AM radio when I was a kid.
	👻 10:48am Ken From Hyde Park: Have a Terrific Tet today!
	10:48am JakeGould: Hey there.
	10:48am steve krinsky: Hey Joe: To keep your ram/sheep/goat theme going, check out the New Orleans classic "Didn't He Ramble" (done by Jelly Roll Morton, Dr John & many more). It's a variation of an old English song ("The Darby Ram"), although I have never figured out the connection. How did it get to N.O?
	10:49am Joe McG: @steve: Thanks for the recommendation! Scott McD played almost an hour of Jelly Roll this morning!
	10:53am the Canterbury wood-elf: Some serious surface noise going on here! Love it tho'. RIP Lesley Gore.
	10:55am Dominick: This one kills
	10:55am Joe McG: Yeah, that one's ready for the grooveyard! Great song, though! Wish I knew who the guitar player was.
	👻 10:59am Brian in UK: You can hear the progression in the singles from '63 to '67.
	11:00am Dominick: Gaudio?
	11:00am Cecile: hola! it is -10 here.
	11:01am bobdoesthings: and I perfectly missed ALL of single file.. god damn you work!
	👻 11:01am Brian in UK: What label were the Four Seasons on?
	11:01am bobdoesthings: a whole lote of Gore!! (RIP)
	11:02am Dominick: Brian - Here in the USA, VeeJay, then Phillips
	👻 11:04am Brian in UK: Thanks Dominick. I remember Phillips from my copy of Let's Hang On.
	11:07am bobdoesthings: Anti-consumerism? What's he selling?
	11:07am Sem Chumbo: Maybe some Rammstein will wake you up, Joe.
	11:07am Greg from Bloomfield: I've officially become a Grinchy ol' Grinch about the holidays...but GOD do I love Marathon time.
	11:08am Cecile: Friendly Womack! awesome.
	11:08am DCE: whaaaa??
	11:09am Cecile: Cecil, Curtis and Harry were the others.
	11:09am Cecile: hahahhaaha, joe. Liquid Liquid? Nice!!!!
	👻 11:09am Brian in UK: What about Cliff de Young from Clear Light? Think he moved into TV acting.
	11:10am Kevlicki: Good save joe
	11:10am Brendan: Joe is the free music archive down? Was looking for 'Goats Like to Nibble' by The Phantom Cheese.
	11:10am Claw!: In all fairness, Styx and Liquid Liquid are totally interchangeable...
	11:11am sphere: FMA is not working for me either Brendan.
	11:11am Cecile: Claw, yeah if you're my mom...
	11:12am Claw!: Hahahahahahaha
	11:13am Claw!: Glad to see ya on here, Cecile. :) I was starting to wonder why I hadn't seen you around...
	11:13am bobdoesthings: This will surely wake you up Joe!
	11:14am Joe McG: @bob: I give up, I embrace the sleepiness.
	11:15am Joe McG: @Brendan and sphere: I'm sure someone in FMU Central is on the case. Free downloads will be in your future.
	11:16am cecile's mom: cecile, what did i tell you about talking about me to your radio friends???
	👻 11:18am Brian in UK: If she were my daughter. What would you do, Daddy (Mommy)? I'd cover my daughter in chocolate sauce.
	11:19am Cecile: I was swamped at work, and then I strained my neck really badly. Things are looking up now,though.
	11:19am bobdoesthings: @joe - fair 'nuff. I dig it!
	11:19am Sylvia Avery: Do not talk to me about mothers.
	11:20am Claw!: Aw, sorry about your neck, Lady! You should probably lay off the headbanging (for now, at least).
	11:21am Cecile: that and a whole bunch of other things. :/
	11:24am rw: Happy New Year!
	11:25am Joe McG: @rw: Wish I had a firecracker right now.
	11:27am redkayak: This ought to be one helluva a year if you're an Aries :)
	11:28am Brendan: Interesting - the guan pinghu tune was included on the gold plated lp sent on voyager
	11:28am Joe McG: @redkayak: Close enough: I'm a goat!
	11:29am Cecile: this singer is very androgynous, no matter which gender they choose to live as.
	11:30am Cecile: :/
	11:30am redkayak: @joe McG I'm an Aries, born in the year of the Pig (according to the place mats at the Chinese restaurants). Not sure what it all means....
	11:30am d¢ pät: @BRendan: I was gonna say...that tune's a keeper.
	11:30am Julie: Morning lonely goatherds
	11:31am Claw!: redkayak, I sure hope you're right!
	11:31am Slater: Rabbit checking in
	11:32am bobdoesthings: geeeezusss Joe! I just wnat to snuggle up and nap... must work.. must stay awake...
	11:32am Dominick: Now you've done it, Julie
	11:32am redkayak: @claw It's inevitable, no doubt about it :)
	11:33am redkayak: Good year for Capricorns too, now that I think it over.....
	11:34am Joe McG: @redkayak: Jesus Christ, I hope so.
	11:35am Julie: Me? I did something? Never.
	11:36am Polyus: I'll take some of that good luck for Capricorns as well.
	11:37am redkayak: I wasn't a big fan of Matthew Sweet, but this is pretty good...
	11:38am Julie: Is this the soft feminine boys' set?
	11:38am V Priceless: It's about time for a Joe Jackson tribute - the guy gets no respect, I swear.
	11:38am Joe McG: @Julie: Yes, because I'm a soft feminine boy.
	11:42am Julie: I can attest to the fact that people close to you refer to you as Manly McGasko
	11:42am Sem Chumbo: Embrace that x chromosome, Joe.
	11:42am V Priceless: Whoa! Wooo! Sheep! Strawbs! Nice one, Joe!
	11:43am d¢ pät: Huh, I think that Guan Pinghu tune had a lot of balls so not so feminine...maybe soft though.
	11:44am Joe McG: I am feeling very hairy this winter.
	11:46am V Priceless: woolly, maybe more like it!
	11:47am Rev. Turnip Druid: Just got here. JEEZUS, this place smells like a petting-zoo on FAH! What the hell is going on in here?!?!
	11:48am Claw!: Ohhhh, Lord. Here comes the Loaf...
	11:48am SeanG: POWER BALLADS R US
	11:48am Cecile: just loop the intro. oh, dear.
	11:49am Greg from Bloomfield: WAIT WHUUUUUUUUUT
	11:49am pierre: what will he won't do ?
	11:49am Lou: Just...NO...onto the archives
	11:50am JakeGould: Why… Why… Why Meatloaf before noon. You’ll get sick.
	11:50am PKNY: They taught us how to love, they taught us how to live: www.youtube.com...
	11:51am V Priceless: Meat Loaf = comfort food...I get it..I think
	11:51am Polyus: "If you don't go over the top, you can't see what's on the other side" _ Jim Steinman
	11:51am Chapelhillian: I liked how the New York Times referred to him as Mr. Loaf, along with Mr. Rotten and Mr. Vicious
	11:52am nickybones: Back into Hell. Apt here.
	11:52am Parq: In the mid-70s, a writer in Boston was addressing the subject of the Tubes. Pointing out that their first Boston gig had been at Harvard's Hasty Pudding Club, he suggested that they were better understood as theater than as rock music. I kinda think a similar argument's to be made about Meat Loaf and Steadman.
	11:52am martin: I would love life a lot more if meatball would go away
	11:52am bobdoesthings: @chaeplhillian - Sid was insistent he be referred to formally
	11:52am Joe McG: Twelve minutes of nutritious meatloaf for your lunchtime. Have a wonderful week everyone and happy new year!
	11:53am Tim BK: Pretty sure Meatloaf would do anything for love these days if the price is right...
	11:53am Claw!: True fact: When I was a kid, I got a walkman for Xmas. I had no tapes. My first tape was this Meat Loaf cassingle. Suck on that.
	11:53am BEAVO: Total Springsteen parody, all that's missing is the sax solo.
	11:53am Julie: Claw, child abuse!
	11:54am Jack: I think it's "Steinman". Meat Loaf was good in "The Fight Club".
	11:54am dave from toronto: i just looked up "bombastic" online and this meatlof song was the definition!
	11:54am V Priceless: thanx Joe! Loafly show!
	11:54am Dr. Ruth: But she wont do what? C'mon people this is the new millennia - get a jar of Dr. Zog's sex wax and get out there and explore. I remember college when we only had a game of twister and a bottle of Wesson oil
	11:54am Cecile: my favorite Springsteen parody is the Bruce Springstone cover of Take Me Out to The Ball Game.
	11:54am Sem Chumbo: Thanks for the past three hours, Mr. McGasko. Wouldn't have missed it for anything. See ya later!
	11:54am Claw!: Julie, I bought it. The cover just looked so metal. I was fooled.
	11:54am Slater: His name was Robert Paulson
	11:55am Seanbelly: I never realized this song was endless.
	11:55am Jack: Was this song/album also produced by Todd Rudgren?
	11:55am dave from toronto: joe's just playing it so he can get something to eat and have a nap...
	11:55am Joe McG: @Jack: No, but he sings on it!
	11:55am bobdoesthings: damn.. I never realized how much i enjoyed this song..
	11:56am Cecile: I had two players going slightly off synch. That made it more interesting. Then I shut one of them, and oh, dear. Back to two.
	11:56am Jack: I asked because if anybody can do bombast, it's Todd.
	11:57am Parq: He would have made "Fight Club" not long after this album, yeah?
	11:57am Polyus: I think Rundgren got some vocal arrangement credits.
	11:57am Whosondephone: Thanks Joe.
	11:57am Rev. Turnip Druid: WHOAA, got back to desk & saw what's on the playlist while reaching for headphones (perfect example of one "dodging a bullet.")
	11:57am V Priceless: Joe, can you follow this with Kiss "Nothin' To Lose"?
	11:57am Cecile: I have three players up. It sounds like a cut up that way
	11:57am nickybones: Somewhere, a friend is trying to turn another friend onto WFMU and tuning in right at this moment! hahaha.
	11:57am oks: i do want to know what Meatloaf want do, its never got explained, lots of theories...
	11:57am Parq: Jack, Todd produced the Tubes around the same time as the first Loaf, so there you are.
	11:58am Cecile: I think it's something boring like "get married"
	11:58am Julie: oh he did that all right
	11:58am bobdoesthings: Thanks Joe!!!
	11:58am Brendan: Stay warm folks - thanks Joe
	11:58am Claw!: Thanks for the throwback, Joe.
	11:58am Cecile: oh, damn. too bad.
	11:58am V Priceless: Anyone heard any music from Meat's daughter, Olive?
	11:58am Greg from Bloomfield: You went there, Joe. Respect.
	11:59am Claw!: I think the "that" he's referring to is "pegging."
	11:59am Claw!: groan, V. But I laughed nonetheless..;
	11:59am slugluv1313: MEATLOAF!!!!!!! one of my all-time guilty pleasures it is so not "cool" to like him -- but i just cannot resist -- especially this song! (like bobdoesthings sez); the little twist in the lyrics :)
	12:01pm slugluv1313: nah, nothing interesting like pegging -- he is just referring to plain ol' "screwing around" :)
	12:04pm billywol: enjoyed the show, even the meatloaf!
	3:16pm Joe McG: By the way, here is a translation of the lyrics to the Chinese New Year song: 1 Everywhere in the streets, Every person's mouth Speaks this word. It is congratulations. Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to you Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to you 2 The winter has come to an end. What good news! The warm breeze of the spring will wake up the earth. Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to you Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to you 3 The heavy snow has melted. Soon the plum blossoms will spill out. The endless nights have passed. Hear the rooster's shrill crow. Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to you Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to you 4 After so much difficulty, Experiencing so much discipline, How many hearts are looking forward To the news of spring? Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to you Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to you
	11:10pm Mike Noble: Joe! you spelled Shleep wrong!
	9:46am Joe McG: I sure did, but it's fixed now! I think I wanted the album to be called "Schlep."

	9:49am Parq: Happy New Year, Joe. Someone has to post this. 28.media.tumblr.com...
	9:51am d¢ pät: Year of Goat. "The sign is also referred to as the Ram or Sheep sign." So Joe McG is correct again.

	9:59am Sem Chumbo: What a great way to join the show. Love English Beat! Hiya, Joe, and Noises.
	10:01am Joe McG: @Sem: I'm not actually sure if I can play this song on the radio. I guess it depends on your interpretation.
	10:01am d¢ pät: Rode in to the office today, had about 80 layers on but not too bad. Potomac River is frozen with snow on it.
	10:02am d¢ pät: 10 degrees F.
	👻 10:02am Brian in UK: Nevere got used to them being called English Beat.
	10:03am sphere: fortunately this is my telework day so im nice and cozy.
	10:03am Joe McG: @Brian: It's Paul Collins' fault. He had the market cornered on "Beat" over here. How are you feeling, BTW?
	10:08am Sem Chumbo: @Joe: after a careful contextual reading of the lyrics, if I were some kind of prude or other, I might suggest JACKPOT is kinda sketchy towards the last third. :-P. Loved it myself.
	10:09am Kung Fu Goat: Who wants some of this!
	👻 10:10am Brian in UK: Good thanks.
	10:13am the Canterbury wood-elf: What, I missed a Field Mice bootleg?? Happy GoatYear Joe 'n' all...

	10:45am V Priceless: Hardy Har Har?
	10:46am PKNY: G'TZAG, Joe and everybody! Don't think I've ever heard this Happy Day track before, both break-tastic, and left me wondering why I've never heard this on AM radio when I was a kid.
	👻 10:48am Ken From Hyde Park: Have a Terrific Tet today!
	10:48am JakeGould: Hey there.
	10:48am steve krinsky: Hey Joe: To keep your ram/sheep/goat theme going, check out the New Orleans classic "Didn't He Ramble" (done by Jelly Roll Morton, Dr John & many more). It's a variation of an old English song ("The Darby Ram"), although I have never figured out the connection. How did it get to N.O?
	10:49am Joe McG: @steve: Thanks for the recommendation! Scott McD played almost an hour of Jelly Roll this morning!
	10:53am the Canterbury wood-elf: Some serious surface noise going on here! Love it tho'. RIP Lesley Gore.
	10:55am Dominick: This one kills
	10:55am Joe McG: Yeah, that one's ready for the grooveyard! Great song, though! Wish I knew who the guitar player was.
	👻 10:59am Brian in UK: You can hear the progression in the singles from '63 to '67.
	11:00am Dominick: Gaudio?
	11:00am Cecile: hola! it is -10 here.
	11:01am bobdoesthings: and I perfectly missed ALL of single file.. god damn you work!
	👻 11:01am Brian in UK: What label were the Four Seasons on?
	11:01am bobdoesthings: a whole lote of Gore!! (RIP)
	11:02am Dominick: Brian - Here in the USA, VeeJay, then Phillips
	👻 11:04am Brian in UK: Thanks Dominick. I remember Phillips from my copy of Let's Hang On.
	11:07am bobdoesthings: Anti-consumerism? What's he selling?
	11:07am Sem Chumbo: Maybe some Rammstein will wake you up, Joe.
	11:07am Greg from Bloomfield: I've officially become a Grinchy ol' Grinch about the holidays...but GOD do I love Marathon time.
	11:08am Cecile: Friendly Womack! awesome.

	11:10am Kevlicki: Good save joe
	11:10am Brendan: Joe is the free music archive down? Was looking for 'Goats Like to Nibble' by The Phantom Cheese.

	11:11am sphere: FMA is not working for me either Brendan.
	11:11am Cecile: Claw, yeah if you're my mom...

	11:13am Claw!: Glad to see ya on here, Cecile. :) I was starting to wonder why I hadn't seen you around...
	11:13am bobdoesthings: This will surely wake you up Joe!
	11:14am Joe McG: @bob: I give up, I embrace the sleepiness.
	11:15am Joe McG: @Brendan and sphere: I'm sure someone in FMU Central is on the case. Free downloads will be in your future.
	11:16am cecile's mom: cecile, what did i tell you about talking about me to your radio friends???
	👻 11:18am Brian in UK: If she were my daughter. What would you do, Daddy (Mommy)? I'd cover my daughter in chocolate sauce.
	11:19am Cecile: I was swamped at work, and then I strained my neck really badly. Things are looking up now,though.
	11:19am bobdoesthings: @joe - fair 'nuff. I dig it!
	11:19am Sylvia Avery: Do not talk to me about mothers.
	11:20am Claw!: Aw, sorry about your neck, Lady! You should probably lay off the headbanging (for now, at least).
	11:21am Cecile: that and a whole bunch of other things. :/
	11:24am rw: Happy New Year!
	11:25am Joe McG: @rw: Wish I had a firecracker right now.
	11:27am redkayak: This ought to be one helluva a year if you're an Aries :)
	11:28am Brendan: Interesting - the guan pinghu tune was included on the gold plated lp sent on voyager
	11:28am Joe McG: @redkayak: Close enough: I'm a goat!
	11:29am Cecile: this singer is very androgynous, no matter which gender they choose to live as.
	11:30am Cecile: :/
	11:30am redkayak: @joe McG I'm an Aries, born in the year of the Pig (according to the place mats at the Chinese restaurants). Not sure what it all means....
	11:30am d¢ pät: @BRendan: I was gonna say...that tune's a keeper.
	11:30am Julie: Morning lonely goatherds
	11:31am Claw!: redkayak, I sure hope you're right!
	11:31am Slater: Rabbit checking in
	11:32am bobdoesthings: geeeezusss Joe! I just wnat to snuggle up and nap... must work.. must stay awake...
	11:32am Dominick: Now you've done it, Julie
	11:32am redkayak: @claw It's inevitable, no doubt about it :)
	11:33am redkayak: Good year for Capricorns too, now that I think it over.....
	11:34am Joe McG: @redkayak: Jesus Christ, I hope so.
	11:35am Julie: Me? I did something? Never.
	11:36am Polyus: I'll take some of that good luck for Capricorns as well.
	11:37am redkayak: I wasn't a big fan of Matthew Sweet, but this is pretty good...
	11:38am Julie: Is this the soft feminine boys' set?
	11:38am V Priceless: It's about time for a Joe Jackson tribute - the guy gets no respect, I swear.
	11:38am Joe McG: @Julie: Yes, because I'm a soft feminine boy.
	11:42am Julie: I can attest to the fact that people close to you refer to you as Manly McGasko
	11:42am Sem Chumbo: Embrace that x chromosome, Joe.
	11:42am V Priceless: Whoa! Wooo! Sheep! Strawbs! Nice one, Joe!
	11:43am d¢ pät: Huh, I think that Guan Pinghu tune had a lot of balls so not so feminine...maybe soft though.
	11:44am Joe McG: I am feeling very hairy this winter.
	11:46am V Priceless: woolly, maybe more like it!
	11:47am Rev. Turnip Druid: Just got here. JEEZUS, this place smells like a petting-zoo on FAH! What the hell is going on in here?!?!
	11:48am Claw!: Ohhhh, Lord. Here comes the Loaf...
	11:48am SeanG: POWER BALLADS R US
	11:48am Cecile: just loop the intro. oh, dear.
	11:49am Greg from Bloomfield: WAIT WHUUUUUUUUUT
	11:49am pierre: what will he won't do ?
	11:49am Lou: Just...NO...onto the archives
	11:50am JakeGould: Why… Why… Why Meatloaf before noon. You’ll get sick.
	11:50am PKNY: They taught us how to love, they taught us how to live: www.youtube.com...
	11:51am V Priceless: Meat Loaf = comfort food...I get it..I think
	11:51am Polyus: "If you don't go over the top, you can't see what's on the other side" _ Jim Steinman
	11:51am Chapelhillian: I liked how the New York Times referred to him as Mr. Loaf, along with Mr. Rotten and Mr. Vicious
	11:52am nickybones: Back into Hell. Apt here.
	11:52am Parq: In the mid-70s, a writer in Boston was addressing the subject of the Tubes. Pointing out that their first Boston gig had been at Harvard's Hasty Pudding Club, he suggested that they were better understood as theater than as rock music. I kinda think a similar argument's to be made about Meat Loaf and Steadman.
	11:52am martin: I would love life a lot more if meatball would go away
	11:52am bobdoesthings: @chaeplhillian - Sid was insistent he be referred to formally
	11:52am Joe McG: Twelve minutes of nutritious meatloaf for your lunchtime. Have a wonderful week everyone and happy new year!
	11:53am Tim BK: Pretty sure Meatloaf would do anything for love these days if the price is right...
	11:53am Claw!: True fact: When I was a kid, I got a walkman for Xmas. I had no tapes. My first tape was this Meat Loaf cassingle. Suck on that.
	11:53am BEAVO: Total Springsteen parody, all that's missing is the sax solo.
	11:53am Julie: Claw, child abuse!
	11:54am Jack: I think it's "Steinman". Meat Loaf was good in "The Fight Club".
	11:54am dave from toronto: i just looked up "bombastic" online and this meatlof song was the definition!
	11:54am V Priceless: thanx Joe! Loafly show!
	11:54am Dr. Ruth: But she wont do what? C'mon people this is the new millennia - get a jar of Dr. Zog's sex wax and get out there and explore. I remember college when we only had a game of twister and a bottle of Wesson oil
	11:54am Cecile: my favorite Springsteen parody is the Bruce Springstone cover of Take Me Out to The Ball Game.
	11:54am Sem Chumbo: Thanks for the past three hours, Mr. McGasko. Wouldn't have missed it for anything. See ya later!
	11:54am Claw!: Julie, I bought it. The cover just looked so metal. I was fooled.
	11:54am Slater: His name was Robert Paulson
	11:55am Seanbelly: I never realized this song was endless.
	11:55am Jack: Was this song/album also produced by Todd Rudgren?
	11:55am dave from toronto: joe's just playing it so he can get something to eat and have a nap...
	11:55am Joe McG: @Jack: No, but he sings on it!
	11:55am bobdoesthings: damn.. I never realized how much i enjoyed this song..
	11:56am Cecile: I had two players going slightly off synch. That made it more interesting. Then I shut one of them, and oh, dear. Back to two.
	11:56am Jack: I asked because if anybody can do bombast, it's Todd.
	11:57am Parq: He would have made "Fight Club" not long after this album, yeah?
	11:57am Polyus: I think Rundgren got some vocal arrangement credits.
	11:57am Whosondephone: Thanks Joe.
	11:57am Rev. Turnip Druid: WHOAA, got back to desk & saw what's on the playlist while reaching for headphones (perfect example of one "dodging a bullet.")
	11:57am V Priceless: Joe, can you follow this with Kiss "Nothin' To Lose"?
	11:57am Cecile: I have three players up. It sounds like a cut up that way
	11:57am nickybones: Somewhere, a friend is trying to turn another friend onto WFMU and tuning in right at this moment! hahaha.
	11:57am oks: i do want to know what Meatloaf want do, its never got explained, lots of theories...
	11:57am Parq: Jack, Todd produced the Tubes around the same time as the first Loaf, so there you are.
	11:58am Cecile: I think it's something boring like "get married"
	11:58am Julie: oh he did that all right
	11:58am bobdoesthings: Thanks Joe!!!
	11:58am Brendan: Stay warm folks - thanks Joe
	11:58am Claw!: Thanks for the throwback, Joe.
	11:58am Cecile: oh, damn. too bad.
	11:58am V Priceless: Anyone heard any music from Meat's daughter, Olive?
	11:58am Greg from Bloomfield: You went there, Joe. Respect.
	11:59am Claw!: I think the "that" he's referring to is "pegging."
	11:59am Claw!: groan, V. But I laughed nonetheless..;
	11:59am slugluv1313: MEATLOAF!!!!!!! one of my all-time guilty pleasures it is so not "cool" to like him -- but i just cannot resist -- especially this song! (like bobdoesthings sez); the little twist in the lyrics :)
	12:01pm slugluv1313: nah, nothing interesting like pegging -- he is just referring to plain ol' "screwing around" :)
	12:04pm billywol: enjoyed the show, even the meatloaf!
	3:16pm Joe McG: By the way, here is a translation of the lyrics to the Chinese New Year song: 1 Everywhere in the streets, Every person's mouth Speaks this word. It is congratulations. Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to you Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to you 2 The winter has come to an end. What good news! The warm breeze of the spring will wake up the earth. Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to you Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to you 3 The heavy snow has melted. Soon the plum blossoms will spill out. The endless nights have passed. Hear the rooster's shrill crow. Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to you Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to you 4 After so much difficulty, Experiencing so much discipline, How many hearts are looking forward To the news of spring? Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to you Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to you
	11:10pm Mike Noble: Joe! you spelled Shleep wrong!
	9:46am Joe McG: I sure did, but it's fixed now! I think I wanted the album to be called "Schlep."
