	9:29am pierre: BONNE ANNÉE JOE AND LISTENERS !
	9:34am Joe McG: That's a swell way to say Happy New Year, pierre!
	9:37am DaveinPA: Captain Trips Noah and his Magik Acid Ark
	9:39am pierre: but the best way is still to play music like you do !
	9:40am melinda: Great opening set! Will have to hear the rest on archive. Happy new year.
	9:41am Joe McG: Aw, thanks, pierre! You're getting my new year off to a nice start!
	9:41am Parq: Happy New Year, Joe. Looking forward to great things from Woof Moo this year.
	9:46am V Priceless: this is a neat cover - love JJ - the man gets no respect, I swear.
	9:46am Cheri Pi: Good Morning McGascoans!
	9:47am Cheri Pi: PIERRE!
	9:47am Andrew Waterloo: Wow, this is one of those covers that makes you question which version is the cover.
	9:49am Andrew Waterloo: ah, originally by Joe Jackson
	9:51am Parq: Andrew, that Jackson cover was such a reworking that it took me most of the first verse to recognize it from the original. For a couple of bars there, all I could do was "Something from 1979. Elvis? XTC?, No, wait ... "
	9:52am Andrew Waterloo: I recognized it as the Anthrax song.
	9:55am Cecile: IME, a cover done in such a fashion indicates the person either hates the song, or is completely clueless. YMMV
	9:57am Cecile: Sorry to be grumpy. I had a full-fledged panic attack on the way to work.
	👻 9:57am Ken From Hyde Park: If you have two computers streaming, you can have Natalie Cole (RIP) singing with herself as a duet.
	9:58am billy: Joe -- ethel's tune is pretty good, but if you really want to cry, try I AM BLUE by Grover from Sesame Street. It'll rip your heart.
	9:59am KP: Happy New Year, Joe!
	👻 10:01am doctorjazz: Hi all, enjoying the New Year Opener (better than the Jets New Year Opener :( )
	10:01am annie: hey cecile... i hope you carry rescue remedy with you..it's a life-saver!
	10:01am Parq: The version of Am I Blue that always sticks in my mind is the rendering by Hoagy Carmichael and Lauren Bacall in "To Have and Have Not". Famously, someone dubbed Lauren's vocals. Unlikely legend has it, it was Andy Williams.
	10:02am Cecile: Her first single is still her best. Pretty much perfection. Here's Natalie completely thrilled by a great lip-synch to "This Will Be": www.youtube.com...
	10:02am Parq: 'Cile, my wife was given to those when we were younger. Scary stuff. Now that you're at work, I hope everyone leaves you alone until lunchtime.
	10:03am Cheri Pi: Hang in there Cecile, those are the absolute worst. :( I hope you feel better ASAP
	10:04am Stevel: "Inspired to lucidity."
	10:05am Cecile: thank you! I have some food. It helped.
	10:06am Cecile: Lemmy!
	10:06am Cheri Pi: RIP IK
	10:11am Ear Hammer: GOOD MORNING 2016 SURFACE NOISEEEEE!
	10:12am Joe McG: Thanks, billy, I'll look for it! @Ear Hammer: Happy New Year, Ear Hammer, you!
	👻 10:18am doctorjazz: This is really good sounding Velvets.
	10:20am MD: The Shy Lou!!!
	👻 10:20am doctorjazz: Good remastering, sounds like to me.
	10:21am Greg from ZONE 5: Happy New Year, Joe & all! Back to life. Back to reality…
	👻 10:21am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Happy NY. I gave Loaded a runout earlier this year.
	👻 10:22am Brian in UK: As I walk down lifes lonely highway, hand in hand with myself.
	10:22am Joe McG: @Brian: That's my favorite line.
	👻 10:24am Brian in UK: Voix Bulgares, next?
	10:24am pierre: CHERI PI !
	👻 10:28am Brian in UK: Have to say John Martyn's version is a belter.
	10:29am Brendan: Something tells me were not at a Toto concert
	10:31am KP: Santa left me the VU tapes. Good Santa!
	10:33am Joe McG: @KP: Lucky! @Brian: Yes, raiding the Vs. Happy new year to everyone!
	10:34am Brendan: Hallelujiah
	10:35am Brendan: Hellacool!
	10:37am Kurt Gottschalk: Rhoda Dakar!!
	10:37am PKNY: Never heard the studio version of "Easy Life" before, only know it from the "Dance Craze" soundtrack. Nice!
	👻 10:37am Brian in UK: Lilies of the Nile on Southern Comfort was a favourite track many moons ago.
	10:38am Kurt Gottschalk: Rhoda put out an album of new recordings of Bodysnatchers songs a few months ago. I keep meaning to track a copy down.
	10:40am Joe McG: @Kurt: Wow, really? The Bodysnatchers don't get their due, in my opinion.
	10:41am Kurt Gottschalk: i agree but a bit moreso over there. their career was pretty short, tho, as rhoda joined up with the special aka after a couple years.
	10:42am Joe McG: @Kurt: The rest became the Belle Stars, no?
	10:42am Uncle Michael: Good morning.
	10:43am Kurt Gottschalk: joe, jah
	10:45am Stashu: Cha cha cha!
	👻 10:45am Brian in UK: @Kurt, we had a great time in Brno last August watching the MotoGP. Found a good little record shop in the middle of town. Bought Sonny Rollin's Way Out West.
	10:45am Joe McG: Hi, Stashu! Hi, Uncle Michael! Happy new year to you.
	10:47am Kurt Gottschalk: the queen-like harmonies on 'drag race queen' are kinda surprisey.
	10:47am Joe McG: @Kurt: Good ears, my friend. Produced by Roy Thomas Baker!
	10:48am Cecile: YES
	10:48am Kurt Gottschalk: brian, awesome. i was in brno for the first time at the very end of august but only for 24 hours and a chunk of that was occupied with a gig. i did catch a bit of a moravian folk music festival, tho. quite a nice town.
	10:48am Stevel: Yay, Snakefinger!
	10:48am Cheri Pi: YAHHHHH
	10:48am Grok-o-matic: Woah, cool Kraftwerk cover. Saw Kraftwerk 3D a few months ago. So amazing.
	10:49am wilbur twinhorse: RIP Phillip Lithman.
	10:50am Stashu: This is a funny version of this song which is already funny!
	10:50am Joe McG: @Stashu: Ha ha!
	10:50am tidaleneigjen: Does anyone else get broken styles on the front page if they go to the https version of the WFMU website? As in www.wfmu.org Just wondering if it's only me...
	10:50am Kurt Gottschalk: stashu is best alwas
	10:51am Kurt Gottschalk: always
	10:51am Kurt Gottschalk: ask for it by name
	10:52am Todd-o-phonic: Sounds like you've got a surface noise special here Joe...
	10:52am βrian: "Seitan's call?" And it's not even lunch time.
	10:53am Joe McG: @Todd: Ha! Yes, Satan got to that 45, the bastard.
	10:54am pzolla: Seitan does call all the shots in Brooklyn
	👻 10:58am doctorjazz: Cool cover!
	10:59am Parq: Another nifty cover. I remember when there were six people who were familiar with Tom Waits, and five of them had heard of him only because he wrote "Ol' 55".
	11:02am steve: dam that was a nice lock groove
	👻 11:03am Brian in UK: That was the 11:00 stopping train to WFMU.
	11:09am PKNY: @Joe - Ballin' Jack are probably best known for "Found a Child", which is the basis for Young MC's "Bust a Move".
	11:10am Stashu: Kurt G is better! Happy New Year! & Joe too!
	11:12am KP: Liam McEneaney
	11:13am Joe McG: @PKNY: Wow, thanks, PKNY, I didn't know that!
	11:15am PKNY: @Joe - no problem! And this track is fairly easy to find cheap on one of those Columbia loss leader records, I see this in dollar bins all the time --> www.discogs.com...
	11:16am Joe McG: I've seen that one, I'll pick it up next time! Thanks for the tip.
	11:19am ChrisB.: @PKNY: I had that one. Think it was $.99 new, so it really held its value.
	11:19am Listener Alexandra: Thank you for always finding the best a performer has from their back catalogues, Joe. These are amazing!
	11:21am Joe McG: Happy New Year, Alex!
	11:22am Listener Alexandra: Right back 'atcha, Joe!
	11:24am Brendan: He's catchin' hell for leavin' the seat up . Someday she'll take him back though...
	11:25am Santos L Halper: This is a great track (Catching Hell). Haven't heard anything but her hits, thanks Joe. And Merry New Year!
	11:26am Brendan: Sounds like she took him back.
	11:26am Joe McG: @Santos: Her first 3 or 4 on Capitol are worth seeking out, Santos. Happy new year! And the jazz ones can be nice, too, if that's your bag. She's an underrated singer.
	11:28am Uncle Michael: Thank you Joe. Happy New Year to all assembled.
	11:30am Carmichael: Heya Joe, bright and early on the jagged western edge of America.
	11:33am βrian: Followed by "Je t'aime ..." ?
	11:34am steve: love the harp
	11:42am Carmichael: All right, funky flute!
	11:42am steve: yay
	11:45am Kurt Gottschalk: how did i once play 45 minutes of 'come together' covers and not know about this one? you've been holding out on me, joe.
	👻 11:45am Brian in UK: Who would have thought this would be the most downloaded track initially now the Beatles are out of the box.
	👻 11:46am Brian in UK: Toe jam football. Oh the thought of it.
	👻 11:49am Ken From Hyde Park: In a recent Dilbert comic, Wally remarked that he used to cut his toenails once a month, but now just buys bigger shoes.
	11:49am Joe McG: @Kurt: That sounds like an idea for a 3-hour show, Kurt!
	11:50am Kurt Gottschalk: it is such a skeevy song!
	11:51am Kurt Gottschalk: sarah vaughn singing it is the best.
	👻 11:52am Brian in UK: Joe, how about a week of Yesterday. No, what am I thinking. No more Yesterdays.
	👻 11:52am doctorjazz: Fontella did a great gospel/jazz record, "From the Root to the Source", if I remember correctly, great singer.
	11:55am Joe McG: Thanks for listening and commenting. Have a very happy new year, all!
	11:56am Brendan: Thank you Joe
	11:58am V Priceless: thanks Joe!
	11:59am Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, Joe—see you this weekend!

	11:16am Joe McG: I've seen that one, I'll pick it up next time! Thanks for the tip.

	11:26am Joe McG: @Santos: Her first 3 or 4 on Capitol are worth seeking out, Santos. Happy new year! And the jazz ones can be nice, too, if that's your bag. She's an underrated singer.

	11:49am Joe McG: @Kurt: That sounds like an idea for a 3-hour show, Kurt!
	11:50am Kurt Gottschalk: it is such a skeevy song!
	11:51am Kurt Gottschalk: sarah vaughn singing it is the best.
	👻 11:52am Brian in UK: Joe, how about a week of Yesterday. No, what am I thinking. No more Yesterdays.
	👻 11:52am doctorjazz: Fontella did a great gospel/jazz record, "From the Root to the Source", if I remember correctly, great singer.
