12:46pm Mike Sin:

Well all right Joe!

Note to those listening online: I'm trying not to geek out too much here, but... please listen to these live sets from the bands using one of the higher-res streams -- 128k MP3, Flash, or 32k MP3. I mix these performances to stereo, and the lower-res 24k Real and 24k Windows streams mash it to mono and cut off a lot of frequencies. Thanks!

12:47pm Joe B:

awesome job as always Mike! appreciate it!

👻

12:48pm tim from champaign:

Tony must've had second thoughts about fighting if he's now talking about it's too late for love.

The little keyboard pitch trills rule.

12:49pm SmokinJ:

128K Mp3 sounds great Mike. Thanks for the eng! How about' a Flac stream?!

12:54pm braveness23:

I swear I'm not such a bad guy.

12:54pm Carmichael:

I love this song about hate!

12:55pm joanchew:

i love tony's accent! :)

12:57pm Tony lofi:

Wo wait! What accent?

12:58pm Joe B:

I thought I was the one with the accent!

1:00pm Anna Anabolic:

this is so emotional!! i'm holding back tears. what a moment between tony and joe!

👻

1:01pm tim from champaign:

Heyyyy congratulations, Joe! Welcome to fatherhood, buddy.

1:01pm Mike East:

Joe B., will you be my mother?

1:02pm Joe B:

Mike, there's gotta be a Mott the Hoople segue in there somewhere!

1:02pm Tony lofi:

Hey joe, any way to bleep can be louder? :)

1:08pm KevinfromBayRidge:

Wow...Belockin' in Overdrive!

1:10pm joanchew:

Thank you Joe and Mike! You guys are awesome!

👻

1:11pm tim from champaign:

1:15pm Joe B:

1:19pm Frank Booth:

YES!!!!!!! ZZ TOP FEATURE ON FMU- RULING!!!!!!!!!

1:19pm Stevel:

Played the hell out of the first side of Fandango.

1:29pm dcp:

remember when MTV played the Chesterfield Kings version of this? I do...

1:30pm Carmichael:

I wore out several copies of Fandango and Tres Hombres.

1:31pm dcp:

HOLY SH--....

1:38pm glenn:

man, if i had to interview the reverend billy gibbons, i'd be shitting bricks.

1:40pm KevinWho:

(mind being blown)

1:41pm adrienne:

this is amazing. just gonna throw that out there.

1:43pm Bruce G:

THanks Joe B for Thunderbird

1:47pm Mike East:

Great interview, JoeB!

1:48pm KevinWho:

Billy thanks Joe!

1:49pm Derek D:

Great interview, Joe!!

1:50pm Cheri Pi:

Superb! You both sounded so relaxed in each others' company.

1:53pm Stevel:

Nice stuff. Reason #4,327 why WFMU is the greatest station ever.

1:54pm Joe B:

i had a whole page of zz top questions I didnt get to! Thanks everybody, thanks to Jon Weiss at Cavestomp for the hookup!

1:56pm dcp:

welp, that's it--FMU is now mainstream.....AH, just kidding, that was great!

1:56pm Joe B:

and a half page of bbq sauce and guacamole questions

2:00pm Mike East:

aw man, woulda loved to hear about guacamole.

2:00pm Mike East:

nice feedback, Ribeye Bros.!!!

2:01pm KevinWho:

i usually feel really justified in and self-satisfied by reflexively hating famous corporate careerist sellout musician types, but an interview like that makes me feel like maybe i shouldn't judge so harshly or paint with such a broad brush

2:06pm MissV:

Why can't WFMU hold a Grammy's? now THAT would be bitchin'

👻

2:09pm David Shortell:

Ribeye Brothers' next show is at the Cabaret Go Go Bar (130 Highway 35, Eatontown, NJ).

👻

2:09pm David Shortell:

March 8!

2:10pm Joe B:

Thanks David! Hi Miss V!

2:13pm Sugarfly Waterloo:

The way I see it, all that really matters is it what goes in the ears. You can rest assured that you can usually take issue with the slick over polished production of most major label albums.

2:18pm Carmichael:

This Hangmen song begins like the Popes' That Woman's Got Me Drinking. I need to remember the segue.

2:20pm glenn:

well, i'll go out on a limb and say right here that i make the world's best guacamole.

2:21pm Sugarfly Waterloo:

Oh for the love of avocado

2:21pm Joe B:

I'm calling Billy back, we will have a cook-off!

2:24pm KevinWho:

Billy seemed nice enough that you probably actually could call him back!

2:26pm Mike Sin:

Man, I really can't wait to listen to this entire show on archive later! It kills me to miss it in real time!

2:27pm EV_Grrrrl:

Thanks for rocking us out on a rainy day!

2:29pm Carmichael:

Ditto, EV. It's rainin' like a bastard here.

👻

2:30pm tim from champaign:

Organs sound like they could do a ripping live set.

2:30pm glenn:

and here's how you do it.-
1 hass avocado /person
lemon and lime juice to taste, i usually use 1 lemon and 1 1/2 small limes for 4 - 6 avocadoes.
LOTS of kosher salt
LOTS of hot sauce, i usually use tabasco or frank's, it doesn't matter.
tamari sauce. i know, it seems weird, but hey, it's my recipe.
plenty o' minced garlic
chopped coriander (cilantro)
so, put it into a bowl, leave the avocado out for now and mix it up 'til it tastes yummy.
add the avocadoes to the bowl, and chop 'em up, using a pastry cutter. leave them kinda coarse. adjust to taste, if you wanna add in chopped up peppers, i won't stop you.

2:33pm Mike East:

thanks for that, glenn. tamari sauce, eh...

2:34pm Cheri Pi:

that sounds like heaven glenn, tamari is the secret ingredient in my baba ganouj as well.

2:36pm SHIMMY:

Organs playing this Saturday at the Gutter w/ the Nervous Ticks from VA and Juniper Rising among others...

2:40pm Joe B:

thanks Shimmy!

2:40pm glenn:

i loves me some baba ganouj, but i'm allergic to eggplant. :(

2:43pm KevinWho:

Joe B, your 20-minute BVC "Gloria" claim has me buzzing here ... i've sent some feelers out ....

2:44pm Joe B:

I still have half of it on a cassette!

👻

2:44pm ChrisB.:

Who'd like my recipe for Mock Apple Pie?

2:45pm glenn:

so, try it, and if it's not the best guacamole you've ever had, i'll kiss ken's ass in the front window of wfmu.

2:45pm glenn:

does it involve ritz crackers?

2:48pm geokopp:

Bangin' show, Joe! Great job with the interview.

2:49pm Cheri Pi:

earlier today we were working out a mock-kraken recipe, still needs work.

2:50pm Steve/SI:

Great show Joe....music heals all!!!

2:51pm Joe B:

hey steve! hope you are doing ok, shoot me an email if you get a chance joe at wfmu . org

2:51pm KP:

Nice Gene/Byrds cover Joe. Thnx

2:52pm Steve/SI:

will do, Joe...thanks

2:53pm glenn:

right. gene clark. only i googled the song title and 3 doors down came up. i vomited in my mouth a little bit.

2:54pm dcp:

...CP: I'll say it needs work--you better hire some lawyers...

👻

2:57pm ChrisB.:

It's this: "You call that Apple Pie? Don't make me laugh!"

11:30am Chris M.:
