Waiting to hear some anti-Bublé

♥ 1:02pm spodiodi:

Happy New Year, Rex!
(lunkheads too!)
here for the wing-ding :D

1:03pm Andres:

Old man here. I'll take an extra helping of your old noise. HNY, all!

1:03pm RevComX:

Still hung over from Music To Spazz By the other night

1:05pm P-90:

Never exercised listener discretion before, sure as hell ain’t gonna start now...

1:05pm Jett:

I'd be remiss if I didn't wish a Happy New Year to the great Ruth, for bringing us all these great shows! Dedication of Danny O'Keefe - "Mad Ruth/The Babe" and The Statler Brothers - "Ruthless" to you my friend!

♥ 1:07pm Greg from ZONE 5:

Happy New Year, Rex & Fools!

1:08pm Jett:

Happy New Year @Rex Hope it's a good one, at least so far.🎊🎉🎊🥂🎈

1:09pm egould310:

Maniacal laughing makes every song better.

🌮 ♥ 1:10pm Mailman Tom:

Happy New Decade, Rex and fellow listeners!

1:10pm Juke Joint Jonny:

These boys are really rockin' that swing

1:11pm Juke Joint Jonny:

I'd like to see Bublé try that!

1:12pm Rex:

Spoken like a certified No-Brow!!

1:13pm ami ad:

Hello DJ. Hello all.

1:14pm ledzeppelinsucks:

Did anyone go to the $1000.00 Vanilla Ice show at Trump golf on Thursday night?

1:14pm pottybear:

What’s the cocktail this week?

1:15pm kpx:

there couldn't have been old noise unless at one time it was new noise. and so it will soon come to past in 2021 a bunch of soon-to-be New old noise.

♥ 1:15pm spodiodi:

Robbie Van Winkle <3 i missed it :(

1:15pm ledzeppelinsucks:

That's sad that grandpa died. what is important is that he got to see his favorite band Vanilla Ice and get Covid in the same room.

♥ 1:16pm DjLorraine:

Happy New Year to Rex, Ruth, and crew. The sound is great in this shed.

1:16pm Juke Joint Jonny:

The worst Beach Boy also performed, so totes worth getting the COVID

1:16pm morphe':

As Jonsie would say "... SATAN ISLAND..." .. And in that sense .. St. George is THE BELLY of the BEAST of SATAN ISLAND.. Thanks Rex and all... out for bit ..

1:16pm RevComX:

ledzeppelinsucks: Ironically, I would have insisted on wearing a mask around Vanilla Ice well before the pandemic started

1:17pm Rex:

This week's cocktail: warm, flat Schaefer Beer.

1:18pm RevComX:

Schaffer's!! The poorman's Heineken!

♥ 1:18pm Kitschy Mama:

Happy New Year Rex!

1:19pm Rex:

Schaefer Beer. When you're having more than one.

♥ 1:19pm spodiodi:

hop hop sittin pretty, all together in a schaefer city

♥ 1:19pm Greg from ZONE 5:

Sweet! I have a Schaeffer bar thingy on my desk with all my pens and Sharpies in it. "Our hand has never lost its skill"

♥ 1:20pm spodiodi:

(or something like that... couldn't find it on yt, but sawr the more than one ad while looking. wish i could find the one with the schaefer city jingle)

1:21pm Juke Joint Jonny:

Cats can rockabilly

1:23pm ledzeppelinsucks:

This stay at home order is a great reason to stay away from those lousy resolutions. Can't go to the gym because it's closed, can't get a new girlfriend because the mask won't show her face or tattoos.

1:23pm kpx:

♪Schaefer is the one beer to have when you're having more than one♪ "Flat Beer".

♥ 1:23pm spodiodi:

eh, found it... was the first one (which i didn't click because i didn't see any mention of Schaefer City). crisis averted. carry on

1:23pm Jett:

Hello @DjLorraine How's the New Year treating you, so far? I hope all is well.

1:24pm Rex:

♥ 1:26pm Sweet Corn Lizzie:

Happy New Year Rex and all Fools!

1:26pm Rex:

"You only go through life once, you might as well do it in a Cadillac"

1:26pm Juke Joint Jonny:

MORE ACCORDION

♥ 1:27pm spodiodi:

hope the new xmas SUVs are treating you right, Rex!

1:27pm kpx:

low and wide, it's a Cadillac ride.

1:29pm Juke Joint Jonny:

More fiddles be good too

1:29pm Rex:

1:36pm COMPTON TACO BANDIT:

Swung in 2021 with Rex circa 2011 not finding the missing hat of another fmu dj anywhere in the studio during a pause between spinning platters that matter.

Midnight taco fiesta with 45 noise - what could be better!?

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

1:37pm Choggie:

I keep looking for 'Moonshiner's Woman on the youtube...so far nuthin!

1:37pm Davefrom Brooklyn:

Moonshiners Daughter sounds far out!

1:38pm Rex:

"Drunks, hippies and Go Go Girls dancing to Johnny B Goode"

♥ 1:38pm DjLorraine:

@Jett it's the best year yet due to WMFU.

1:38pm P-90:

I think you have to mix moonshine with LSD to find it.

1:39pm Choggie:

Hey Rex, you get that picture of Cannon trying to slide down the firepole??

♥ 1:40pm DjLorraine:

"Marie is only 6 years old, information please" sometimes makes me tear up.

1:40pm Rex:

@Choggie - I sure did! Tight squeeze!

1:41pm Todd-o-phonic Todd:

@Rex: Last time I went to Rutt's Hut was for Belock's birthday in October. I'm working on making that a national holiday. It's been 2nd Street Bakery in JC before every show. I've also been keeping our board operator happy and fed.

1:43pm Davefrom Brooklyn:

Thanks Rex for your continued and relentless efforts to unearth sweet sonic gems! Thanks to the crew back at Monty.

1:43pm P-90:

Darla... and who among us does not love Darla?

1:43pm Jett:

1:45pm Rex:

@Todd-O-Phonic: Thanks for feeding the skeleton crew with some of that chicken parm!

1:45pm P-90:

PLEASE post photo of Moorehead Throw Pillow!

1:45pm Jett:

@DjLorraine that line really does touch the heart!

♥ 1:46pm Micheal:

Had no idea Darla was in The Bat! Agnes Moorehead was a Boss.

🌮 ♥ 1:46pm Mailman Tom:

I used to go to Village Music in Mill Valley. Beautiful little town, but the record shop is no longer there.

1:46pm Jett:

@Todd-o-Phonic Todd to the rescue, with some grub for the staff, you da man!

1:47pm Davefrom Brooklyn:

Back in the day we mixed Sunshine with moonshine in our bota wine sacks, and trundled into concerts unmolested by security. What happened?

1:47pm Ruth Booth:

Todd-O-Phonic is my hero!

1:48pm Rex:

P-90: I'll post a pic of the Agnes pillow on the Fool's Paradise with Rex Facebook page soon!

1:49pm ami ad:

David (in London),howdy. pleased to share a platform with you.

1:49pm P-90:

I see Rutt’s Hut is renowned for it’s “unique style of deep fried hot dog.” I’ll have to check it out next time I’m in Jersey on Todd’s recommendation (after clearing it with my cardiologist.)

1:59pm The Brez:

FINALLY, atheists getting a shout out !

2:00pm gdD:

To no one's surprise, Darla Hood became quite a looker as a growed up female woman. Go ahead, Google her.

2:01pm Jett:

2:01pm NEW YEAR?:

@The Brez: And who know Satan was so progressive — having a hellbound train back then that was racially integrated.

2:02pm Sylvia's Mother:

@The Brez: Is it OK if I get a tombstone off the shelf that already has that inscription on it? Home Depot is having a sale.

2:22pm P-90:

I grew up in Manhattan where we always called it Satan Island. Just an affectionate nickname.

2:25pm Jett:

@Rex Thought for Lightning Hopkins "Happy New Year" would've been proper for today.

2:43pm ???:

Little Black Peanut Butter Egg???

2:44pm Jett:

The Gronk no brow!

2:45pm WM:

Regarding Low Brow to No Brow, let's remember George Harrold Carswell, a Nixon Supreme Court nominee who was overwhelmingly rejected by the Senate. One of his few supporters said in his defense "even if he were mediocre,there are a lot of mediocre judges and people and lawyers. They are entitled to a little representation, aren't they, and a little chance? All praise to Fool's Paradise where the Low/No Brows have full representation and more than a little chance!

2:46pm P-90:

I’ll listen to ANY instrumental named for a condiment.

Officer Gunther Toody no brow
