Listener comments!

12:09pm jljl:

there's some wacky stuff going on with the web site today.

12:09pm SeanG:

I was going to take a nap, but not after this SONG!

12:09pm SmokinJ:

Certainly a topical subject that the Neckbreakers address! (Hi Joe)

12:10pm jljl:

there we go, now I see the playlist and the comment side.

12:12pm Cheri Pi:

Rocking me back to reality.

12:13pm John L.:

More bad news. Bob Casale passed away.

12:16pm eyenoise:

Well-played, Joe

12:16pm Cheri Pi:

I heart Chris D. (swoooon)

12:18pm SmokinJ:

What a rockin' track! Divine Horsemen rule!

12:21pm MissV:

oh YA!

12:25pm Mike East:

Damn, now that's a hit single from the Obits!

12:26pm ccrides:

Rest In Peace, Bob..!..:)O(:

12:27pm Cheri Pi:

running out of oxygen-there is no room to breathe in this smoking set!!

12:28pm Cheri Pi:

Goddamn sad news about Bob.

12:28pm Mike East:

get down low, Cheri Pi. smoke rises.

12:29pm SmokinJ:

Smoke? Not a problem... :)

12:29pm Frank Above:

Hi Joe!

12:31pm ccrides:

Jersey City made the national news on CBS this morning...I heard you guyz are about out of salt???...)O(:..

12:31pm Cheri Pi:

if there's a star unclicked I can't find it.

12:32pm ccrides:

Paulie Mac is gonna be in Austin too...accepting an award!!!...:)O(:..

12:33pm glenn:

sometimes you get the snake, and sometimes the snake gets you.

12:34pm glenn:

hell, toronto's been out of salt for almost 2 months. people are STEALING salt off off other people's porches, f.f.s.

12:37pm V Priceless:

Hey Joe, peeps!

12:37pm glenn:

not to mention somebody lifted a shovel and an ice chippy thing off of mine.

12:39pm ccrides:

I'm happy to report that we are going to be in the mid to upper 70s here where I live in Texas, today...hehehe...:)O(:..

12:40pm Cheri Pi:

Channeling Devoto and I'm digging.

12:43pm frenchee:

oh this is fun, Gleason/Liam Neeson is fuuuuunnnny

12:43pm common:

so funny - this ribeye brothers tune. i have a song i wrote with liam neeson appearing in the lyrics. hee hee.

12:44pm frenchee:

A snow day is so much more bearable when it's a Joe (B) Day

12:45pm V Priceless:

Great track by the spud-boys!

12:45pm drewo:

Saw Devo last May. They rocked as hard as ever. RIP Bob 2.

12:45pm Figures of Light:

As usual, "destination radio!" And happy to report that here, at least, the temp is near 70 after a long hard winter!

12:45pm SmokinJ:

Love Devo!

12:46pm V Priceless:

damn - did not know about B2. What a drag!

12:47pm jljl:

This song 'Suspect' kills.

12:48pm ccrides:

Figures of Light...it's nice to finally take my clothes off!!!...hahaha...:)O(:..

12:48pm Figures of Light:

No kidding!

12:49pm ät çpd:

just logging in temporarily to say cheers and RIP to Bob 2.

12:50pm common:

bummer bout bob 2. rip indeed.

12:50pm Figures of Light:

What an amazin' coincidence -- it's them Killers from Space, that's what it is!

12:51pm Parq:

Dang, hadn't heard about Thau. The Daily News indicates that he'd started a memoir. Shit.

12:51pm P-90:

I thought I had read somewhere previously that Bob Casale had been having health issues for a while. Now I'm searching and don"t see anything, maybe I was wrong?

12:52pm Mike East:

only 61. That's too young. I gotta start eating better.

12:56pm Figures of Light:

Seriously, every moment is precious. Carpe diem! RIP Marty Thau and Bob Casale.

12:57pm ccrides:

Breathe underwater...til the end..!..:)O(:..

1:00pm glenn:

i'm convinced it's genetic. you're gonna die when you're gonna die. your diet may mean you don't weigh 600 lbs, or lose your teeth from scurvy, but other than that i'm not sure it makes a difference.

1:02pm Mike East:

aw don't tell me that, glenn. my dad died at 60.

1:02pm Mike East:

actually, 59 I think

1:03pm glenn:

i mean, both sides of my family are avid consumers of bacon, beer and smokes, and not one of them died before they were 80.

1:04pm ccrides:

I think X-Ray was on to something when he said that coating your lungs with nice healthy cigarette smoke may help to keep some exotic bacteria from living in there and killing you...who knows???...LOL...:)O(:..

1:05pm John L.:

On the up side: A Happy 81st Birthday to Yoko Ono!!!

1:05pm Mike East:

yeah, I guess you never know.

1:06pm Fuzzy:

mindfulness

1:06pm glenn:

well, smoking is just plain disgusting, so why anybody would is beyond me.

1:06pm P-90:

glenn: nope: diet, fitness, happy sex life, good music collection, job satisfaction, all tremendously influential on longevity, you are not "gonna die when you're gonna die" according to some genetic "timer"

1:07pm glenn:

amend - why anybody would ever start is beyond me. once you're addicted, it's pretty damn hard to quit.

1:07pm Fuzzy:

I exercise, I eat right -- and I take Geritol.

1:08pm P-90:

Bob 2 gone at 61, Yoko thriving at 81, she'll bury us ALL she will

1:09pm ccrides:

Sex is good..!..Makes ya feel like a young whipper snapper who can still swim upstream!!!!...hehehe...:)O(:..

1:10pm Mike East:

the reason I started was cuz all the cool kids were doin' it. That's not the case anymore, so there is no reason. I quit years ago. It was hard, but not THAT hard. Just have to reprogram yer brain.

1:11pm glenn:

well, p-90, i'm no scientist, so i have to trust my instincts, which may in fact be wrong. but if i go by what i see in my family and friends is any indication, then it's genetics all the way, because they're some damn unhealthy folks.

1:11pm Figures of Light:

Cold turkey / has got me / on the run!!

1:13pm Sean:

Just ordered Lydia this morning!

1:14pm KevinWho:

today is the best of all days

1:16pm Fuzzy:

Serenity NOW!

1:19pm Parq:

With due reverence to X-Ray, I think I will continue to take a pass on smoking.

1:21pm ccrides:

'It's all in how you look at 'it...all in how you study 'it'..LOL...:)O(:..

1:23pm P-90:

twang-a-delic!

1:23pm ccrides:

Diggin' that fancy finger work!!!...:)O(:..

1:25pm LovecraftDude888:

Bob Casale..oof. RIP suckige. My back is killing me today...war wound....need more drugs now

1:26pm Joe B:

Hi everyone, thanks for checking in/tuning in/commenting, appreciate it! don't have it together to respond to too many comments today, sorry!

1:26pm SSS:

This really sounds like Chris Isaks

1:27pm Joe B:

I thought the same thing SSS!

1:28pm ccrides:

That's OK Joe...we need you to focus on the music, anyway!!!... _smile_ ...:)O(:..

1:32pm KevinnotinBayRidge:

Noon all. Joe, you sound great from the unfrozen Beach

1:33pm ccrides:

By the way...my one favorite chord is A minor...I'll leave it up to you to pick two other ones that will go good with 'it'..?..hehehe...:)O(:..

1:35pm LovecraftDude888:

just don't put it over the top with the heroin or we'll all end up like PSH....that would stack the decks. But god my genetics are otherwise CRAP. Terrible.

👻

1:37pm Jeff from Rahway:

Joe, that See See record is FANTASTIC. It was actually released overseas in 2012. The band has loads of good tunes....I wish they'd tour the US!

1:37pm LovecraftDude888:

I hadn't even heard Marty Thau passed away. Wow this winter is great. not.

1:37pm Mike East:

I think C and G go nicely with that, ccrides. Those are my two favorites.

1:38pm Joe B:

jeff, is this a compilation or an album proper?

1:39pm ccrides:

Bi Jove, Mike..!..You might be onto something!!!!...:)O(:..

1:40pm sissophonic Cheryl:

You're getting me through crappy work day, Joe!

👻

1:41pm Jeff from Rahway:

Its a comp of their previous albums, singles, etc.

1:41pm ccrides:

If I just had to pick just one other to go with it...mmmm...I'd have to pick E minor, though???...:)O(:..

1:43pm Figures of Light:

Ramboona never fails!

1:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Em sure;
...If you alter a somewhat arpeggiated A-Minor w/ A-Major - you're on your way to 'I'll Be Back' by The Beatles...
'Somewhere tonight some kid is discovering the A chord' - Pete Townshend

1:47pm KevinWho:

GHIV fan represent

1:47pm ccrides:

Hehehe...RR...you got 'it' baby!!!...:)O(:..

1:47pm InBrkly:

I grew up in Abilene and it gets mentioned in the weirdest contexts....

2:00pm drewo:

Dig the new Lee Ranaldo. He's doing his best Stipe voice.

2:04pm LovecraftDude888:

gotta blast out of here in a few....back tonite Moonlight feels right tonight

2:05pm LovecraftDude888:

then we have Spring by week's end...hoohoo! how kooky! RR and Cheri and all....laterz till later. Cheri...I want you to have my children..ok outtie!

2:14pm Michael K.:

LuV you JoE BeLock !

2:15pm Frank Above:

Who says you don't know how to transition? That was a really good one between the La Luz song and The Sadies sing.

2:16pm Joe B:

hey Michael!

2:17pm Joe B:

thanks Frank. It is always the ones that got away that occupy my mind!

2:18pm Mike East:

Yyyyyyeaaaahhh, Liminanas!

2:19pm ccrides:

Hypnotic!!!...:)O(:..

2:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...I love this set !

2:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Trees !

👻

2:23pm Jeff from Rahway:

Ooooh.....Buzz Factory was such a good record!

2:25pm common:

nice to hear the screaming trees.

2:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...my favorite 'Grunge' band - the one that *didn't* become massive, naturally...

2:27pm ccrides:

Did I mention that I thought X-Ray 'was' mistaken about 'Grunge' music, yesterday...I thought it signaled the re-introduction of 'raw' rock into the mix of things???...:)O(:..

2:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

Grunge was not one thing or the other; it did that & was also a fin de siècle holding pattern - a restatement of stuff already done...

2:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...we should remember Hair Bands were big before that - so - yeah...

2:31pm Sem Chumbo:

Lurking but paying attention, Joe. Kicking it! Comments board also big fun:-0

2:36pm ccrides:

Hair bands and Arena rock became too sensationalized, overproduced and marketed in a discriminatory fashion...imho...Grunge took it back to in your face, on the road jammin'...Raw and Raunchy!!!...Kinda like how ACDC, Foreigner and Bad Co...etc...kept rock alive when disco was trying to kill it!!!...hehehe...:)O(:..

2:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...@ the time - the question was - how long would Grunge hold the top of the Charts? Now, we ask different questions about it...

👻

2:37pm Jeff from Rahway:

The Dentists! Strawberries may be growing in my garden (and its wintertime) but I haven't seen the damn ground in over a month because of all of the (*^!@(**^ snow.

2:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

I think Punk kept it alive when Disco threatened to consume the world - forever - from where *I* was standing anyhow (nowhere more or less).

2:41pm ccrides:

Some things are appealing to some people and some things, not so much...Some people who like country music from Nashville don't like Red Dirt music from Oklahoma and Texas???...:)O(:..

2:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- that's interesting - wondered what 'Red Dirt' is exactly! - & what might its' relation to AltCountry be...'Americana' ?...

2:44pm ccrides:

I, personally don't care for most punk???...I dig some Clash and Elvis Costello...most of it is too choppy and repetitive for my tastes???...:)O(:..

2:44pm KevinWho:

this Bud Benderbe is hi-larious. he's a one-trick pony, but it's a good trick

2:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- wull - I love Punk cc - but I guess using 'Punk' here as a broad umbrella covering New Wave & the birth of Alt & all that came after Punk - to help us survive after Disco & MOR 70s...

2:49pm ccrides:

Well...Red Dirt is like what Steve Earle and Jerry Jeff started...in a fashion...Today, guys like Cody Canada, Charlie Robison, Robert Earle Keen, Chris Knight...too many to mention are among those in the fold...so to speak...:)O(:..

2:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- oh! - what I've still been calling 'Outlaw Country' then probably ! - altho' that's probably more properly another Era...

2:54pm ccrides:

Red Dirt is kinda like the 'grunge' Outlaw music..!..Dig???...:)O(:..

2:55pm KevinWho:

Outlaw Country, now that could be a book (if it isn't already)

2:55pm Mike East:

great show, JoeB!!!

2:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

...more Western than Country maybe ! (??)...

2:56pm KevinWho:

none of those names are outlaw country, possible exception of JJW

2:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:

- Yer the Best Joe Belock !

2:57pm ccrides:

Tune into 94.9 The Outlaw if you ever get down here to Texoma, and you'll hear some great Red Dirt music..!..:)O(:..

3:01pm P-90:
