Listener comments!

👻

1:03pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Out with the old Joe! In with the new!

1:05pm glenn:

i see what you did there.

1:05pm Cooh John:

Love the faux Fool's Paradise: snow included.

1:05pm Marcel M:

Deja Vu..

1:06pm glenn:

so instead of three chord monte, is this two idiot monte? to paraphrase todd, i'm not suggesting anything.

👻

1:06pm ChrisB.:

Annnnd, we're back!

1:07pm Diane Kamikaze:

Glad you made it down there, Joe! Nothing stops Belock from rocking! And loved your Bowie show, BTW, I've directed many peeps toward it!

👻

1:07pm ChrisB.:

I take real enjoyment in good music, stuff like that. Surprisin', huh?

1:07pm djsheilab:

Following you wherever you go, Joe!

1:07pm Sierra:

Did Fool's Paradise change time slots?

1:08pm Marc Francis:

This Saturday rules. I think it might be a perfect day for some day drinking....

👻

1:08pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Here on the WFMU Snowstorm Memorial Playlist.

1:11pm Marc Francis:

AUDIO ASSAULT

1:12pm Marcel M:

Some ill guitar in this Kessler.

1:12pm ashley morey:

Haha! The publisher of this composition has still yet to be granted Harry Fox membership. Ashley rules with an iron fist.

1:13pm Sharon G:

Not just ill guitar - ill bass, too. Terrific stuff.

1:14pm Mike Sin:

I've just got WFMU blasting throughout the house as I throw back hot boozy drinks stumble around in fuzzy slippers. Great job, Joe!

👻

1:14pm Ken From Hyde Park:

@Sierra - Due to the ongoing snowstorm, Rex is hanging out in his fur-lined fallout shelter miles below the Earth's crust this afternoon. Joe and Todd-o-phonic are filling in today.

1:15pm Chris from Midwood:

Put on your socks, comb your locks and let's go.

1:16pm Mag G. Ott:

Go, go, go, Joe! Ow, ow, ow!! Circuit Breaker!! Sounding great on a rainy morning in Portland, OR

1:17pm Sharon G:

Where do you guys FIND this stuff? You make an old, ex-DJ jealous.

1:17pm Fuzzy:

Put a candle in the window, Mother -- we're on our way!

👻

1:18pm Jeff from Rahway:

Snow total here in Rahway is TOO FUCKING MUCH.

1:19pm Dominick:

mama

1:19pm Tony in Durham NC:

We're snowed, iced and soon to be wind-ed in here in Durm. Keep it durty, Todd-O!

1:20pm Tony in Durham NC:

No wait, you're not Todd. You're THREE CHORD MONTE!

1:20pm Bob Slee:

LET'S GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD !!!

1:21pm Tony in Durham NC:

I need to dial down my day drinkin', Mr. Block.

1:21pm Parq:

Joe, turns out that "New York Is a Lonely Town" was a prescient choice to start the Shelley portion of the shift. The just-announced emergency weather measures include -- I swear this is true -- a surfing ban.

👻

1:23pm ChrisB.:

I think the gang down at the Lakehurst VFW will approve.

1:23pm Bob Slee:

You don't have to Tony, change the substance ...

1:23pm rob steffens:

put on your socks comb your locks

👻

1:24pm Ken From Hyde Park:

A two-hour excursion to nowhere!

1:24pm rob steffens:

didn't read up

👻

1:25pm ChrisB.:

I just come from a bop, I just come from a battle, eh? I DON'T WANT MY HAIR MESSED UP!

1:26pm djsheilab:

Is the weather machine behaving? It nearly killed me yesterday.

1:27pm DonJuanTijuana:

Did Todd come back from the diner yet?

👻

1:27pm Jeff from Rahway:

Power went out this morning in SSP, Joe. I'm glad I didn't head down. I would have been left in a cold, dark, quiet house bereft of THREE FOOT MONTE.

1:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...from our undisclosed location below a couple feet of snow...
- AWOOoOO !

1:30pm JimB:

As Tony from Durham perhaps subconsciously suggested, how about any version of "I'm Snowed"?

1:30pm Tomophobic Tom:

A raging blizzard of Belock!!!

1:31pm Bluesman:

Two Joes are better than one. Welcome back!

1:31pm JakeGould:

@djsheilab: You got the weather machine angry, now it’s giving us weather in a serious way.

1:33pm Sissophonic Cheryl:

@glenn, it is definitely two idiot monte.

1:33pm Cooh John:

Everyday is Saturday to a WFMU listener.

1:35pm Sharon G:

Well, this amazing collection of music has certainly put a cramp in my binge-watching today!

1:37pm Bklyn kid:

Well! Light a candle in the window, Mother. We're on our way!

1:38pm Dave:

Colette just said, "Hi, Joe!" to the radio.

👻

1:39pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Are we having a wing-ding?
We sure are!

👻

1:40pm ChrisB.:

Not so sure it's a radio thing.

1:43pm Marc Francis:

Gree-ee-ee-ee-ea-a-sy!

1:46pm oule:

I'm going to change my beer.

👻

1:47pm Jeff from Rahway:

During the blizzard of 1996, the only thing that was open in downtown Jersey City was the Flamingo Diner, and only one waitress was able to make it in.

1:47pm Gaylord Fields:

I hope Joe and Todd negotiated a nonstop supply of hip

1:47pm Uncle Michael:

That Candlewood Suites was my home away from home.

1:48pm DaveinPA:

Woo Hoooo!

👻

1:48pm Frank Above:

Gotta say, this has been a treat.

1:49pm great show!!:

you guys rock!!! thx for keeping Saturday morning going!!

1:50pm Bob Slee:

HI Rex... You're OK ?

1:50pm Marc Francis:

You guys are the perfect soundtrack to biscuits and gravy and mimosas.

1:51pm djsheilab:

Goddammittt!!! I get on discogs to buy this Lloyd Nolan record and not only is it unavailable, but 148 people want it!!!! GRRRRRRR.

1:52pm djsheilab:

May I request that from now on you only play first-class records $10 + under, and readily available for purchase. Thank you.

1:53pm Bob Slee:

You wanna be the only one sheilab ?

1:54pm djsheilab:

That's right @Bob Slee!

1:54pm Tony in Durham NC:

No, wait, yes, Todd AND Joe! It's a Snow Day Miracle!

1:57pm Sharon G:

Much easier to drink than to think on a day like this.

1:58pm Bob Slee:

Hear that Tony ?

1:58pm Marc Francis:

What beer should I switch to: Old Style or Moosehead?

2:00pm Marcel M:

Killing it guys!

2:00pm glenn:

i have a moosehead toque. the beer tastes like the sweat that's wrung out of it.

2:01pm glenn:

it's a great toque, though.

2:02pm Gaylord Fields:

@djsheilab: Funny you should say that! I was 1 for 2 after listening to your show yesterday: I said yes to the Soul Sisters ($15) and no to Ginny Satin ($200). Discogs should give you a discount coupon code for all the sales you generate.

2:04pm Marc Francis:

Glenn: Hahahahahaaaa. Old Style it is!

2:05pm Gaylord Fields:

As I was saying, I hope Joe and Todd negotiated a nonstop supply of "hip and delicious" Sal's Wraps with station management for going above and beyond the call of duty.

2:06pm djsheilab:

@Gaylord Fields Seriously! Hear that Discogs? I had no idea the Ginny Satin record goes for such a ridiculous amount, especially when Debbie Dovale's version is so much better (and only $5!).

2:06pm glenn:

what about the st.-ambroise oatmeal stout? great winter beer, and brewed in montreal. a win-win.

2:06pm Greg from ZONE 5:

Pajamas. Irish coffee. Sketchbook. Hot jams. This is the best day ever.

2:07pm Sharon G:

@Gaylord - I already asked my fellow listeners to start a petition to give these guys a raise (but nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin', don't it?)

2:08pm SeanG:

2:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...he turned on a NewJersey station - he didn't believe what he heard @ all...yaknow - his life was saved by FMU...

2:09pm Marcel M:

Drinking hot TODDies in honor of our fearless host ;-)

👻

2:10pm patrick321:

Nice handoff guys! Keep it coming Todd!

2:10pm Miss Mailas:

@glenn We're snobs and can't enjoy St-Ambroise from a bottle when it's fairly easy for us to head on over to the brewery for a pint. (The struggle!) And frankly, the only things tethering Marc to his previous life in the US are WFMU and a fridge stocked with cheap&cheerful beer.

2:10pm Ken in Tucson:

I've had this on since about 9:30 and now it's sunny and 72 degrees outside. Nice work, guys!

2:12pm Marc Francis:

Glenn: Ooooh. I just remembered I do have a Beau's in the fridge.

2:14pm Marc Francis:

Where are you from Glenn?

2:15pm Joe Belock:

Who else would bail me out and let me get to work besides Todd-O-Phonic Todd? This guy is worth his weight in gold!

2:15pm Peter in Seattle/NYC native:

Is this VU song from the 1969 live album, which I love by the way?

2:15pm listener monica:

You can play this one over and over

2:16pm Dungaroos Kipawah:

The People's Choice has written!

2:16pm Tomophobic Tom:

I really feel like I'm at a snow day party today this is awesome.

2:16pm Marcel M:

Watch out Todd! Ken is gonna ban you for impersonation!!!

2:18pm Tim 07030:

This is making me want to hear Musta Notta Gotta Lotta (subtle hint)

2:18pm norske jersey boy:

The snow melted in this part of Norway and the music coming through the internet is hot!

2:19pm Tomophobic Tom:

Ken shall decree it a capital offense to impersonate the people's champion. A crime against insanity.

2:20pm glenn:

i live in toronto, in the junction, aka little malta.

2:21pm glenn:

and i'm going to the maltese bakery to pick up some pastizzis. my contribution to the snowpocalypse.

2:21pm Marc Francis:

Glenn: Ahh. Ok. I was wondering how you knew about St. Ambroise. I don't think I've seen it down in the U.S.

2:23pm Marcel M:

vine.co...

2:23pm glenn:

i don't drink anymore, but i quite liked mccauslan's products when i did. the apricot ale is nice in the summer.

2:26pm djsheilab:

Yeeeeeaaahhhh! I forgot about this killer record! Thanks TOPT.

2:26pm Joe Belock:

Wow Todd, you really did it this time. This show isn't a home run it's a GRAND SLAM!

2:27pm Marcel M:

@Glenn: I just googled Pastizzis... they look incredible.

2:28pm Listener Don:

Great stuff. Thanks Joe.

2:29pm Óskar:

Todd's talking over a song! That's a swig off the bottle!

2:30pm Óskar:

Oh wait. Fuck. You're not Todd.

2:31pm Marcel M:

He is there as well, Oskar. That was most coitenly him singin'

2:31pm Óskar:

Oh. Everything makes sense now. Briefly.

2:33pm Miss Mailas:

That Quill Records comp is a neverending bounty of quality tunes.

2:33pm Marc Francis:

Glenn: Yeah, I agree about the Apricot. Such a great summer beer. Just a hint of apricot too. Not syrupy and cheap.

2:33pm Joe Belock:

WHAT IN THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING! YOU NEED TO EASE UP ON THE OTHER DJ'S...NOBODY ELSE CAN EXPECT TO PERFORM AT THIS LEVEL!

2:34pm djsheilab:

This is the most brilliant set in WFMU history, and not just because you played Crazy Girls with the Javalins. You are on FIRE Joe Belock!!!

2:34pm Fuzzy:

@Joe: I bet he went to the Columbia School of Broadcasting.

2:35pm Tome:

Belock yea ! A trooper !

2:37pm Óskar:

RIP Rex. Looking forward to Zombie Rex next week.

2:39pm Óskar:

All good men take three days to resurrect. Rex ain't good so it's gonna be like a week.

2:39pm JakeGould:

Wait, who is the real DJ here? Todd or Joe?

2:42pm Listener Don:

Wonderin why in Mad Max theres no flying machines. Was the atmosphere not right for flyin, like today. Mickey and Sylvia - yeah!

2:43pm Greg from ZONE 5:

CRUSHING it, Todd!

2:50pm Joe Belock:

This show is as near to perfection as anything I have heard on WFMU. I can only assume you graduated Magna Cum Laude from The Connecticut School Of Broadcasting.

2:51pm Marcel M:

All at once and once at all, Jake!

2:52pm Óskar:

I suppose that since man reverted to tribalism after society crumbled, flying machines became unrealistic since long-distance traveling depends on a level of cooperation, communication and infrastructure the wastelands could not provide.

2:53pm Greg from ZONE 5:

YESSSS! ROLLER ROLLER ROLLER ROLLER LAND!

2:53pm Óskar:

mmmmmmMAMA

👻

2:54pm Jeff from Rahway:

The song is AWESOME! Love it!

2:57pm Ken in Tucson:

You're making me wish we could be snowed in.

2:57pm Listener Don:

Roller is great. Sounds a little like Mickey Lane. Thanks for that insite Oskar.

2:58pm Joe Belock:

Wow...I think it might be time for me to quit the biz and let you have 2 shows a week. Quite simply, you are that good!

👻

2:59pm ChrisB.:

Good-bye, Cosmic Man.

2:59pm Tony in Durham NC:

Ken in Tuscon - it's overrated. Trust me. Now where the hail is my bourbon?

2:59pm oule:

we want a school misstress!

3:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...seriously - I guess Gawd has more than one Jukebox of Perfection in (Fool's) Paradise...

3:00pm Tommy:

TT just got word that Rob Weisberg and Pat Byrne can't make it.

3:01pm Marc Francis:

And this is the best of all possible worlds!

3:01pm Greg from ZONE 5:

YEEEEEEEEAH!

3:01pm Tony in Durham NC:

Ken in Tuscon - it's overrated. Trust me. Now where the hail is my bourbon?
