  12:37am
coalhard:

  12:38am
miss biscuits:

Who's gonna help a sistah get funky
  12:47am
Joe McG:

Did me best, miss bisc.
  12:51am
Meghan:

Joe "funk" McGasko!
  12:51am
Meghan:

Joe "funk" McGasko!
  12:51am
bryce:

can you play this again when it's done? thanks
  12:53am
Meghan:

Silly Bryce, that's your show that does stuff like that
  12:53am
Joe McG:

Hey, Meghan! Evan's had enough time with the Funk. It's my turn.
  12:54am
Joe McG:

Get back to work, Bryce!
  12:55am
bryce:

you're distracting me
  12:55am
Meghan:

And he doesn't play funk.... Hmmmm
  12:56am
Joe McG:

I can't help that I'm so pretty.
  12:58am
Joe McG:

Meghan, think of a new middle name for EFD.
  1:01am
Meghan:

That's tough... I can't think of anything....
  1:02am
Meghan:

We can come up with nick names for everyone when you cohost!
  1:04am
coalhard:

glad everybody at the wfmu drive up window has the correct change--all i have is a coupon that expires at 3am
  1:07am
Matt from Springfield:

Hello Joe, regulars...and other DJs! Quite the 'FMU Funk Fete tonight!
  1:08am
Matt from Springfield:

How bout Evan "FUN" Davies? Joe's played more funk, on average--Joe "Funk" McGasko is indeed, more becoming!
  1:10am
Joe McG:

Hey, Matt! I like your idea! Drop the K and bring the fun! Hey, Coalhard, I'll accept your coupon anyway.
  1:15am
Matt from Springfield:

The Suzan--you've played them before? Or someone here has? I love this "Home", and I remember this Japanese band getting some airtime recently.
  1:16am
Joe McG:

Yeah, I like 'em, Matt. They're coming to town on March 4, actually. I believe they're Chinese-American, but I'm not sure.
  1:19am
Matt from Springfield:

"The Suzan is a pop-rock band from Tokyo, Japan", or so says a Google result. I thought they were somewhere in Asia, so I just did a quick search to see what came up (psst--don't tell the comments board that A LOT of my "reporting" is unconfirmed, unvetted glances such as this!)
  1:20am
Joe McG:

Wow, thanks, Matt! I thought they were from San Francisco! I won't tell anyone your secret. :)
  1:22am
Joe McG:

I'm playing more Evan Davies-ish music now, don't you think?
  1:22am
Matt from Springfield:

Thanks! Us researchers have reputations to protect!
(cautiously brushes off shoulders)
  1:24am
Matt from Springfield:

Any Alabamian listeners to comment on "Jim Bob and the Leisure Suits"?

A friend from school had a cat named Jim Bob, and I called his cat bed area "Jim Bob We"!
  1:25am
Matt from Springfield:

And yes--EFD would feel at home with this current set (although even more so, this year, if it was 1970 to 1979 material!)
  1:28am
Matt from Springfield:

I LOVED that Lame Drivers! No clue that was Jason Sigal!
  1:33am
Matt from Springfield:

This is a lot of comments in a row, but the Rip Rig and Panic album "Knee Deep In Hits" is funny--because they once had a song that was called that, except it was an anagram of that last word!
  1:37am
Matt from Springfield:

And thanks for "Denise"--I heard this since I was a little kid on my Dad's Oldies stations but didn't know anything about it. Now I know it was '63, know of the band Randy and the Rainbows, and Blondie's cover!
  1:39am
Joe McG:

Cool, Matt, glad you liked it! My copy is a bit scratchy, but...
  1:41am
coalhard:

we have 12 people in space right now-plus 1 robot named R2-WATSON wanted to go go but he had jeopardy gig
  1:43am
kiemzi:

is it time for the slow jams show?
  1:43am
Matt from Springfield:

Could I get your number, Ramona?
  1:45am
hunkapappa Syracuse:

Loving the grooves.
  1:45am
hunkapappa Syracuse:

Loving the grooves.
  1:45am
hunkapappa Syracuse:

Loving the grooves.
  1:46am
Joe McG:

Like your monikker, hunkapappa.
  1:47am
hunkapappa Syracuse:

Thanks
  1:55am
coalhard:

neat how we can change the world with our fingers!!! instead of guns!!!
  2:03am
coalhard:

george bush and bin laden must be crying in their soup right now
  2:10am
kiemzi:

wait i can't hear this PSA over the generator and pressure washer that i'm using inside my apartment right now.
  2:12am
Matt from Springfield:

Here's to the day when we take pressure washers into our homes!

This was one of your "greatest hits" Joe! I thought of the last time you did this PSA when I saw this recent letter to the editor on generator safety:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/02/18/AR2011021805744.html
  2:15am
Joe McG:

Kiemzi, you have the cleanest walls in America, I'll bet. Thanks for the generator safety letter, Matt. Very important, people!
  2:17am
kiemzi:

i was just pressure washing my laptop. she's running like a champ now!
  2:27am
Matt from Springfield:

I like the Crystals, this one's new to me.
  2:32am
Brian in UK:

Mornin' Joe, everyone. Beautiful day here, 'bout time too.
  2:33am
Joe McG:

Hey, Brian! Welcome!
  2:37am
Brian in UK:

Loved the Willie Wright last week.
  2:37am
Andrew in Vic, Australia:

I love this, my first time listening to WMFU (I knew of it from the 365 Days Project)
^_^
I think Shooting Star is the only song I'd heard before. Good job!
  2:37am
Joe McG:

Thanks, man. That's my favorite album of the year so far. I have to keep myself from playing it every five minutes.
  2:39am
Matt from Springfield:

@Andrew: I also was into the 365 Days Project before I ever heard of WFMU--hearing it for the first time is like coming home, isn't it?
  2:40am
Brian in UK:

Has this got Francoise Hardy singing 'Tiny Goddess' by English Nirvana?
  2:40am
Joe McG:

Welcome, Andrew! Love to hear from Australia.
  2:42am
Joe McG:

No, unfortunately, Brian. There's a nice Francoise, though: "Je Ne Sais Pas Ce Que Je Veux."
  2:42am
Matt from Springfield:

Wow, is that Keith's whole professional name? It sounds like the names people running for office in the UK use, like the Monster Raving Loony Party!
  2:43am
Andrew in Vic, Australia:

This is awesome, too bad I don't have a laptop so I can listen outside.
hehe, this song is funny.
my favourite albums are the blue & the red, haha
  2:45am
coalhard:

i tied a string around my big toe--in case fund raiser starts without me next week--give me a tug !!!
  2:46am
Matt from Springfield:

The funny thing is, I couldn't tell this was supposed to be "Don't Worry Kyoko" despite knowing the original well! I think the important part is to just be noisy with guitars and screaming!
  2:46am
Joe McG:

Don't worry, Coalhard, we'll be tugging!
  2:47am
Matt from Springfield:

@CH: What color is the string? If I see a loose string of that color, I'll give it a tug and remind you of the marathon!
  2:50am
Matt from Springfield:

@Joe: You got Irwin beat on this one--kids' covers are normally his department. Usually obnoxious or incorrect covers, but he's played some pretty good kids vocals before.
  2:51am
Matt from Springfield:

And KITTY WELLS! Thank you!
  2:51am
Joe McG:

HIgh praise indeed, Matt. I don't have any Thomas singing the Beatles...wish I did! Happy birthday, George!
  2:52am
Brian in UK:

Looks like you covered most bases tonight.
  2:53am
Joe McG:

Sex, drugs, death. Yep, most of 'em!
  2:56am
Matt from Springfield:

OMG, FEB 29! It IS George's birthday! Make sure you say so at the end, if you haven't already.
  2:57am
Joe McG:

Sure as shootin' will, Matt!
  2:58am
Matt from Springfield:

Feb 25 I mean...already happened. I Should've Known Better!

Have a great night/morning/day everybody!
  2:59am
Joe McG:

Thanks for listening everybody!
  2:59am
D. Blumin:

Sure as shootin, it done happened!
Bless ya, Joe McG! See u next week, pardner!
  3:02am
