12:03pm Webhamster Henry:

I'm ready for the 80's and Jimmy Carter's reelection!#alternateuniverse

12:03pm Jeff formerly from Rahway:

The guy who played the Indian in the Village People used to live in Jersey City in the 90s. He would spin dance music at the Hard Grove Cafe (RIP) downtown.

12:04pm Lizardner Dave 2:

The 80s yes. The 20s I'm not so sure about.

12:04pm Joe B:

I remember that Jeff!

12:04pm Micheal:

I am so ready for the ‘80s now!

👻

12:04pm Hoboken Jack:

12:12pm battleaxe:

Happy 2020 to Joe and the entire TCM Clan!

12:14pm David (in London):

Onion Lang Syne - nice.

12:14pm Handy Haversack:

I am trying a new thing where I stream at work. Drawbacks: It's too quiet! Also: coworkers distract me from the Minus 5!

12:16pm battleaxe:

@Handy...work? that sounds like the problem right there.

12:19pm Handy Haversack:

You cut to the heart of the problem, @battleaxe.

12:20pm Bluesman:

@Handy Haversack: It's an acquired skill. Keep pushing on!

12:24pm TheLoneliestMonk:

HNY JoeB: for my money, sickest version of 'green onions' is by roy buchanan.
You?

👻

12:24pm tim from champaign (now washington):

I love this Scrawl song! I'm most familiar with the version on the Simple Machines monthly single 7".

👻

12:24pm tim from champaign (now washington):

Hi Joe and everybody!

12:25pm Joe B:

@Monk -- the Booker t version on the Stax/Volt revue live in norway DVD can't be topped IMO.

12:26pm Bill Sweeney:

Is this your cold opening?

12:27pm Bill Sweeney:

Is this your cold opening?

12:28pm TheLoneliestMonk:

@JoeB hmm, gotta find it.
the RoyB version is over the top, obviously.
it's just so funny to me when cropper plays his very solid R&B intro/solo and then roy comes in with the pinch harmonic of death and takes it to crazy town!

12:28pm Krys O.:

Today might be the last day of required glad tidings for the new year.

12:29pm Phillippe Bastille:

howdy

12:30pm Hubig Pie:

Today is the start of carnival season for those so inclined

12:30pm Handy Haversack:

@Krys O., I have been waiting for that day!

12:30pm Krys O.:

I think R. Stevie Moore was part of the Husky Team too.

12:30pm mrdonutsu:

When I lived in Montreal, people said "bonne année" to each other for the entire month of January.

12:31pm JakeGould:

Happy New Year, Joe!

12:32pm Krys O.:

Yes, RSM was part of the Husky Team: www.discogs.com... which came out in 2002.

12:32pm SeanG:

rock till ya drop!

12:33pm Doug in JC:

You'd think those nerds would realize there's a difference between a cultural and mathematical decade

12:33pm mrmikestandsir:

Ersell Hickey!?! wow, Joe... Didn't know there was a Hoboken connection.

12:33pm V Priceless:

HNY JB!

👻

12:40pm tim from champaign (now washington):

This Control Top rips!

12:40pm Handy Haversack:

Seriously!

12:40pm thormagma:

@Tim: right? I was just saying this track is making me want to come out of mosh retirement right here in this office

12:41pm Todd-o-phonic Todd:

With Beningo & Roberts moved to 2 p.m. 66.7% of your show is now better than WFAN! Congrats Joe!

12:43pm TheLoneliestMonk:

@ToPT BwaHa!
BUT: can francesa STAY gone this time??

12:43pm bigplanetnoise:

12:49pm Carmichael:

Heya Joe and rekkid luvahs. Got a football hangover this morning.

12:52pm JakeGould:

2020 is such a good year to write and say! Otherwise, not so much.

12:53pm Handy Haversack:

One of the few years that begins a Ramones song.

1:09pm Woo:

Do we now have to live through the 60th anniversary of the 60s? Please, no. But if so, you've got 9 years to figure out the Woodstock thing.

1:15pm choggie:

she goes to nightclubs drinking just champagne

1:17pm choggie:

she checks men 4 crabs, and then for STDs

1:21pm Hubig Pie:

That sounded a bit like Stigmata, I likey

1:22pm medson:

Howdy Joe B and everyone.

1:23pm MplsCoco:

Great show Joe!! ❤️

1:27pm Snoochienucci:

hello from the Snooch!

👻

1:31pm tim from champaign (now washington):

This Forsyth is a jammer!

1:31pm Snoochienucci:

@Tim a Hammer of a Jammer!

1:32pm Jeff formerly from Rahway:

The pride of North Brunswick, NJ!

1:32pm Phillippe Bastille:

This Chris Forsyth is so good

👻

1:33pm Hackensack Slim:

Hey Joe & Medson. Happy New Years and such.

1:34pm Cal Zone!:

This CF made my top 10 for 2019 as well!

1:34pm Hubig Pie:

An all time mamma jamma

1:35pm Handy Haversack:

Super.

1:35pm Jeff formerly from Rahway:

Guitar work reminds me of David Gilmour.

1:39pm TheLoneliestMonk:

actually, this forsyth track reminds me a bit of the raveonettes

1:41pm Tim from LH:

That Chris Forsyth sounded so good on the Hi-Fi just now!

1:44pm Yes:

first i've heard laura stevenson. pretty voice

1:45pm Joe B:

1:46pm Joe B:

1:46pm Yes:

this ambulence blues is great

👻

1:53pm Hoboken Jack:

Hello Medson Man and TOPT. Joe why you playing all this old 2019 musics.

1:53pm pardo:

hey Joe - super mellow set!

1:53pm John from Florham park:

Hello fellow 3 chord Monty fans

👻

1:55pm tim from champaign (now washington):

Hey John!

1:56pm John from Florham park:

I noticed in the wine gurls album there were a couple of songs that were country sounding

1:57pm John from Florham park:

@Tim howdy

👻

1:57pm tim from champaign (now washington):

This weekend I heard Sturgill Simpson's theme song for the movie The Dead Don't Die. I liked it a lot. Is Sturgill Simson legit, not phoney baloney country?

1:57pm John from Florham park:

I meant some girls sorry

1:59pm Phillippe Bastille:

A little off topic here, but for you reddit users, there's a WFMU subreddit with almost 700 followers. Who knew?

2:00pm John from Florham park:

@Phillipe how active is it?

2:01pm Tim 07030:

Hi Joe! American Graffiti soundtrack was first album (as well as double album) I ever owned. Was unaware there was a soundtrack tribute album.

2:03pm Phillippe Bastille:

@John doesn't look like very much. Was pretty surprised to see it

2:03pm Handy Haversack:

Rogers Sisters on that! Nice!

2:04pm John from Florham park:

@Phillipe going to check out Reddit one of these days sure they must have some interesting stuff on there

2:13pm Phillippe Bastille:

@John it can be kind of a rabbit hole (maybe more like a rabbit warren)...

2:18pm Roberto:

Wahhh Kim S. :(

2:21pm βrian:

Huh. People Like Us on CKUT. That had me confused.

2:22pm crateslinger:

What's wrong with 2020? I don't get it. We all have food, homes, cell phones (just check that thing out!), and probably nobody is going to try to kill you for the rest of your life. Compared to the last 2 million years, it's a great time to be alive.

👻

2:30pm tim from champaign (now washington):

Is the title of the Joy Cleaner record about you too, Joe? ;)

👻

2:32pm Hoboken Jack:

I'd say it's the "new album" until the band stops playing shows in support of it. Then it becomes "most recent album."

2:32pm Woo:

Nobody is going to try to kill you? Where I live there were 490 murders last year. That would be Chicago. And they're celebrating that number because it's less than the year before.

2:34pm mndave:

Joe B. - this Personality Cult reminds me of that Ex Humans record you rediscovered last year. That is to say, it's excellent

2:34pm Joe B:

ah, great point!

👻

2:34pm Hoboken Jack:

Dirtnap label has been putting out great stuff!

2:38pm Joe B:

agreed HJ

2:48pm Handy Haversack:

Shady Grove seems like a serious place.

2:49pm Aaron Working In Newark:

Thanks Joe for another great Show~

2:49pm Michael 98145:

Yes. Thank you, Joe B.

2:55pm Tim from LH:

Great show as usual Joe!

2:55pm Handy Haversack:

Great show, Joe. Thanks!

👻

2:55pm tim from champaign (now washington):

Thanks for kicking off 2020 with a blast, Joe! Like I told Joe McGasko, stay away from those little yellow pills in 2020.

2:58pm P-90:

Thanks, and Happy 2020, Joe B!
