	9:18am Strandlund: Happy B-Day to the Great Joe McGasko!!
	9:19am Brendan: The astro summaries always go something like this. They will be tough to get along with at first (or insert some minor relationship obstacles), but be patient, you will be rewarded with a friend to the end (or insert admirable qualities here). Ha!
	9:19am Krys O.: Happy Avant-Birthday, Joe!
	9:21am pantz: Now you're just bragging, @Joe.
	9:21am Joe McG: Thanks, Krys! @pantz: Ha ha ha

	9:28am Quinn: Oh lord, this is my six year old Capricorn!
	9:29am Handy Haversack: Ha! Snoochie, we are on to something with this!
	9:30am Brendan: In the fourth ascent (ie the House of Jupiter) the alignment of Mars as well as the alignment of the front wheels will be synchronized with the descending testicle .
	9:30am Snoochienucci: annnnd theres the country!! :)
	9:31am The Oscar: Mornin'! I'm a Capricorn rising, so I'll adjust accordingly. (Also waiting for the inevitable Harvey Sid Fisher!)
	9:32am steveo: "I wrote 'Jesus Was A Capricorn (Owed To John Prine)' because I was so influenced by John. When I heard his songs I felt like his writing had kicked me into doing it. You take things from all over the place, though you don’t always admit it! I was really influenced by Roger Miller, Shel Silverstein and Mickey Newbury. Everybody you admire influences you somehow in your art."
	9:32am V Priceless: \m/ of course!!
	9:32am Will-X: YES!
	9:32am melinda: It does sound like John Prine
	9:33am crateslinger: remember when KISS was hard?
	9:33am Handy Haversack: BTW, everyone, if you can avoid Midtown/UWS in Manhattan, do it. Water main break at Bway and 62nd -- total chaos. I was on a two-hour subway odyssey just to get back to Greenpoint.
	9:33am steveo: kiss songs I never heard and would never guess was kiss for $100, alex
	9:35am steveo: yikes there's a lot of water in the street up there twitter.com...
	9:36am crateslinger: Ace Frehley is listed as one of the 50 greatest guitarists of all time on some guitar mag list. Is he actually any good? Can't tell listening to KISS.
	9:36am Snoochienucci: @steveoi thanks for that! i actually did think it was prine when the guitar started lol
	9:38am Megaroni: Capricornio extravaganza!
	9:38am Joe McG: Wow, get out your rowboats!
	9:38am ratso: I like this rekkid. when they toured for this they played Stanhope House locally. I thought it was an odd venue for them.
	9:39am TheLoneliestMonk: @CS i saw him in a rehearsal room in manhattan once at the gibson showroom. laughably bad, like a kid who had just picked up guitar that year
	9:40am Handy Haversack: Yeah, my work is ... at 62nd btw. Bway and Columbus. That was quite the journey. Suffice to say, I am home now.
	9:41am Jewelia: Well thanks, I am now learning about genius Mort Garson....
	9:42am TheLoneliestMonk: www.ny1.com...
	9:42am SheWolf: January 3 bday here. Happy birthday season to my fellow goats.
	9:42am bk845: Mt. Hope and WMFU is very definitely in New York state. Orange County/Sullivan County border.

	9:43am melinda: I love Jesus, the Missing Years

	9:44am kAT: You should play Teenage Jesus and the Jerks!
	9:44am Rich in Washington: I just found that Wozard of Iz LP this weekend. Really surreal.
	9:45am crateslinger: from wikipedia re: Ace Frehley: Guitar World magazine ranked him as the 14th Greatest Metal Guitarist of All Time. I'm not going to research that, but hunh...
	9:46am Don S: Next time you can play "Capricorn" by Motorhead.
	9:51am Walt: Nancy Priddy is actress Christina Applegate's mother.
	9:52am Joe McG: @Rich: Lucky! @Walt: True! I'll mention that on the next mic break, thanks.
	9:52am crateslinger: Hey Ken from Hyde Park - did you go for a ride this weekend?
	9:55am annie: i'm sure ken nordine made a star-signs album..he HAD to..
	9:55am Joe McG: @SheWolf: Happy belated, and happy birthday to all the January babies.
	9:58am Little Danny: Mornin' Joe, mornin' all
	9:59am PKNY: Just got to my desk, and not only did I miss the Capricorn set, I see Joe went in on the obscure KISS lyric...if I'd been around, I'd have thrown in a request for Motörhead's "Capricorn".
	10:00am βrian: Whisky and pain ...
	👻 10:02am Ken From Hyde Park: @Crates - No, didn't get out. Had some family time over the weekend. It sure was warm, though.

	10:27am Joe McG: @Trista: ;)
	10:28am sphere: @ Handy - I know! Bill Kelly played them too.
	10:28am Joe McG: @Handy: I'm going to ask them if they want to play live on the show.
	10:28am woodzepper: I love this Wild Irish Roses band!
	10:29am Handy Haversack: @JoeG.: That's so cool! Great idea!
	10:29am Brendan: Ace Frehley covered Fox
	10:30am sphere: The Roses live in NY, go figure.
	10:30am P-90: Snappy set, Joe McG
	10:31am Handy Haversack: Snoochienucci and I are worried that we might run out of parties if WFMU stops playing the WIRs's cover of "All Tomorrow's Parties" every day!
	10:31am steveo: New Paltz is 35 miles NE of Mount Hope!
	👻 10:32am Ken From Hyde Park: How soon can The Wild Irish Roses come to Monty Hall?
	10:34am βrian: Why, John Turturro and Peter Dinklage hail from New Paltz.
	10:39am Handy Haversack: Clay Pigeon should arrange a WFMU outing to Mid-Hudson Sporting Clays in New Paltz!
	10:40am Joe McG: @Handy: Ha ha, yes, it's been in heavy rotation around here.
	👻 10:43am Hughie Considine: Sounds so much like Wings!
	10:44am Joe McG: @Hughie: Totally agree, it's like a lost McCartney classic.

	11:20am melinda: Did she just drop an f-bomb?
	11:20am PigeonsAndRust: This is a couple of years newer than the stuff I play, but I wholeheartedly approve! And I'm not undecided about doing so!
	11:20am Joe McG: Hey Alex! Swing it, Colleen!
	11:20am PigeonsAndRust: Hi Colleen!
	11:21am Earth Walker: Great choice of music
	11:21am frenchee: Joe, when you play big band and jazz, I go bananas!

	11:33am Joe McG: @HUbig: Alas, no Sidney with me. Imagine "Shag" in your head!
	11:34am PigeonsAndRust: @SSS HateHto beba nnoodge but you shouldn't play Judy Garland on a crank Victrola. The later era shellac is not designed to stand up to weight of the reproducer
	11:35am frenchee: oh so delicious
	11:35am PigeonsAndRust: Weird, the comments on my phone display fine on preview but not when on the message board! Far out

	11:46am duke: Great stuff, Joe
	11:47am Bill W: in the swing, McG
	11:49am ?: the homie playing clarinet a couple of songs ago ive never heard someone hold a note that long wow
	11:49am Handy Haversack: @Snoochie, very cool! My partner used to sing that one with her jazz band. Will check out your version as soon as Joe stops being so damned entertaining!
	11:49am PigeonsAndRust: It warms the cockles of my heart to see how much love this old music is getting. Bravo, Joe! I hope somebody is driving down the turnpike scanning the dial right now and goes "Wow! What IS this?"

	11:50am DanM: solid set!

	9:19am Brendan: The astro summaries always go something like this. They will be tough to get along with at first (or insert some minor relationship obstacles), but be patient, you will be rewarded with a friend to the end (or insert admirable qualities here). Ha!
	9:19am Krys O.: Happy Avant-Birthday, Joe!

	9:30am Snoochienucci: annnnd theres the country!! :)
	9:31am The Oscar: Mornin'! I'm a Capricorn rising, so I'll adjust accordingly. (Also waiting for the inevitable Harvey Sid Fisher!)
	9:32am steveo: "I wrote 'Jesus Was A Capricorn (Owed To John Prine)' because I was so influenced by John. When I heard his songs I felt like his writing had kicked me into doing it. You take things from all over the place, though you don’t always admit it! I was really influenced by Roger Miller, Shel Silverstein and Mickey Newbury. Everybody you admire influences you somehow in your art."

	9:38am Joe McG: Wow, get out your rowboats!
	9:38am ratso: I like this rekkid. when they toured for this they played Stanhope House locally. I thought it was an odd venue for them.
	9:39am TheLoneliestMonk: @CS i saw him in a rehearsal room in manhattan once at the gibson showroom. laughably bad, like a kid who had just picked up guitar that year
	9:40am Handy Haversack: Yeah, my work is ... at 62nd btw. Bway and Columbus. That was quite the journey. Suffice to say, I am home now.

	9:46am Don S: Next time you can play "Capricorn" by Motorhead.
	9:51am Walt: Nancy Priddy is actress Christina Applegate's mother.
	9:52am Joe McG: @Rich: Lucky! @Walt: True! I'll mention that on the next mic break, thanks.
	9:52am crateslinger: Hey Ken from Hyde Park - did you go for a ride this weekend?

	10:29am Brendan: Ace Frehley covered Fox
	10:30am sphere: The Roses live in NY, go figure.
	10:30am P-90: Snappy set, Joe McG
