	9:44am Marcel M: Cheri, I just had to look that up. No thanks!
	👻 9:44am Ken From Hyde Park: That was a good Happy Birthday tune. Most of them are pretty lame, like the one they used on Futurama.
	9:45am Rev. Turnip Druid: Admittedly I wimped out & took the bus. ... but I gotta earn some points for being the one to walk the pup. Said pup, being of short-hair and has a complex about pup-coats, was not pleased.
	9:48am pierre: Bonjour Joe and friends !
	9:48am Cheri Pi: Yeah I felt really sorry walking Mizz Megadeth this morning, especially since she just had a "hygenic shave" a few days ago and is pretty bare bottomed at the moment.

	10:03am pierre: everything seems safe here, everybody is just under shock the only thing that needs to be done is never forget what happened.
	10:03am Joe McG: Hey, 12539, and Brian, too! And anybody I left out!
	10:07am Roberto: See, you just said "org" twice and it's still fewer syllables than those silly DJs what sez "oh are gee."
	10:08am Joe McG: @Roberto: Oh, darn, you're right, I need THREE orgs!
	10:08am Roberto: That's what I'm talkin' 'bout Joe.
	10:09am trs: Swedish Chef it!

	10:11am trs: Heh. Hey Joe. Long time no listen. Happy New Year.
	10:11am Roberto: I expect to hear all three at the next station ID.
	👻 10:11am Brian in UK: Is this Ethiopian, Joe?
	10:12am Claw!: I suspect they like saying O R G because it almost sounds like "orgy," and I like to assume that everyone's sense of humor is as childish as mine.
	10:12am Joe McG: @trs: Welcome back! @Brian: Sure is! BTW, if any of you dudes and dudettes are in NYC this Saturday, he's playing a gig in town.
	10:15am Marcel M: Damn, I might have to go to that.
	10:16am Joe McG: @Claw!: You may have something there! Maybe I'll try it and see how it feels.
	10:17am V Priceless: @ Claw! Hey, just a minute now...I resemble that remark!
	10:18am Brendan: Good morning Joe. Nice wafer buffalo groove.
	10:18am Brendan: Water (siri goofed)
	10:19am Joe McG: @Brendan: You can take a buffalo to water, but you can't make him...unstink?
	10:19am Whosondephone: :)
	👻 10:19am Brian in UK: Brendan I like Wafer Buffalo.
	10:19am βrian: Ask Siri about O.R.Gee.
	👻 10:20am Brian in UK: buffalo prosciutto
	👻 10:22am Brian in UK: @βrian the chickens are laying well despite the lack of daylight right now. (sounds like some kind of spy code)
	10:24am V Priceless: @ Brian in UK - ha! isn't it?
	10:24am DCE: you's can play this all day, I 'll be happy
	10:24am βrian: With the wind chill at -27℃, the neighbor's hens are on strike.
	10:30am βrian: The Mongomery Express has no need for speed. Ride on.
	10:35am Claw!: Hooray for single file! !
	10:36am DCE: Crow, you say? tinyurl.com...
	10:36am Claw!: There we go!
	10:37am V Priceless: ORGan!
	10:38am βrian: @Claw: Are you quoting Duke in Doonsebury?
	10:39am common: good! thought my headphones had given up the ghost.
	10:40am Claw!: No, βrian. Just exclaiming.
	10:40am Joe McG: Sorry, folks, looks like TT2 has decided to work on only one channel. Not having much luck troubleshooting it...
	10:40am DCE: oof I remember this song...
	10:42am V Priceless: new band name = Wolf Peter
	10:43am Claw!: Wolf Peter dot O R G
	10:43am Rev. Turnip Druid: Man.. something about the combination of plucky-poppy bass technique & gated reverb on drums. Essence o' 1980s. Very weird. Suddenly 17 yrs old again.
	10:43am DCE: yep that horrible sound always catapaults one back
	10:43am V Priceless: Hotlegs!! Woo!
	10:44am Rev. Turnip Druid: Youth wasn't all it was allegedly cracked up to be.
	10:44am Brendan: Two.. uhhh one turntable and a microphone
	10:45am Brendan: Where its at
	10:45am OTB: @Rev.: youth was a drag....
	10:46am FernandoBelmondo: Live queueing! That's why I listen to WFMU and not some algorithm.
	10:47am common: good call, rev.
	10:47am DCE: youth was great, we just lived through a horrible period, culturally. unfortunately i was not aware of the thriving punk scene just below the surface, at the time.
	10:50am steve: im with you Rev
	10:51am Joe McG: Well, folks, our good friend Scott Williams has been on the case and we should be back in business, I hope!
	10:52am Rev. Turnip Druid: At the time, I felt a need to escape the plucked-bass-and-gated-reverbed-drums by running downtown to gigs where we felt in danger of being trampled by skinheads. A strange choice, in hindsight.
	10:52am βrian: I once knew a Lillian. Not so many, these days.
	👻 10:53am 12539: (Yay for Scott!)
	10:53am Brendan: Joe and Scott for 2016! They get 'stuff' done!
	10:54am KP: Joe thanks for soldiering through and helping to make my parking adventure a successful if chilly one
	10:54am Joe McG: OK, this record was the big test. TT2 now fully functional!
	10:55am Rev. Turnip Druid: Getting a serious need for Skeeter Davis after this vibe..
	10:55am Rev. Turnip Druid: Also: SW for pope!
	10:56am dennis diken: digging the show Joe! (hey, that rhymes!)
	10:56am Brendan: Joe TT 2 coming in loud n clear in stereophonic mode.
	10:56am Joe McG: Hey, Dennis! Thanks for checking in! Usually this is a much smoother segment.
	10:57am dale: love the breathy vibrato of early marianne. i have one of her albums from that period but i can't tell if it's a compilation as it doesn't show up in her discography. it also has a weird time delayed echo on a couple of songs so i assume it was a repressing
	10:57am Marcel M: That Brenda Byers was nice
	10:58am V Priceless: nice product placement, Milt...not!
	11:00am dale: he's no shooby taylor, but with that scat i trust him.
	11:00am βrian: "Oh, Orchie!"
	11:01am listener james from westwood: "The Surface Noise Program was filmed before a live studio audience."
	11:01am dale: now i want cling peaches in heavy syrup.
	11:01am Brendan: Love the rag piano Joe
	11:01am Joe McG: Ha, you guys are killin' me over heah!
	11:02am MenfussMike: Theme to my favorite sitcom ever. You are a Meathead!
	11:02am Brendan: As the camera pans through the row houses
	11:02am Brendan: Wheres meathead
	11:03am dale: what happened to america's love affair with joplin-esque ragtime? marvin hamlisch - we need you now more than ever. of course there's that little thing about being dead...
	11:03am MenfussMike: "you wear one of those things the mystery is over"
	11:04am Dean: William Bolcom has written some lovely rags that maintain the tradition. Try his famous "Graceful Ghost."
	11:04am βrian: @dale: I believe it arrives in 60-year cycles.
	11:06am dale: so about 2030 or so. i'll hopefully still be around. 'i remember in nineteen ought seventy....'
	11:07am Brendan: The 3rd side was the 80s pop def lep version of photgraph
	11:09am Brendan: Crow was a band that hung out in trees
	11:10am Cecile: William Bolcom and Joan Morris were treasures in Ann Arbor, where they lived and taught. Still regret not seeing them back in the day.
	11:10am Marcel M: I think most of Zs work is actually composed Joe.
	11:10am MenfussMike: mr. airplane man are the greatest female band i have ever seen.
	11:11am Cecile: DAMN I missed proto-10cc Hotlegs.
	11:11am Dean: They were here recently in the Bay Area, too. Predictably, regrettably, I missed them.
	11:12am V Priceless: @ Cecile - yes! Was wondering where you were! Ha!
	11:12am Greg from Bloomfield: IBJ! IBJ! IBJ!
	11:12am Malequath: When is the interview with Mastodon drummer? Did you say toady at Noon or Midnight?
	11:13am Cecile: Today at noon, Mal. Yeah, I couldn't help but seeing that little tune up there.
	11:13am Cecile: noon EST. 11 CST, 9 PST, and who cares about mountain time.
	11:14am Rev. Turnip Druid: When I'm in the mountains, I don't care about time.
	11:14am Malequath: Ty Cecile.
	11:14am Rev. Turnip Druid: Whoa, Lindisfarne, yay.
	11:14am Dean: Alan Hull!
	11:15am V Priceless: wow 'farne!
	11:16am Brendan: Airplane man wouldnt stand a chance agin Triangle Man
	11:16am Cecile: here is my Pandora statement for the year "Your 2014 soundtrack mostly played Joe McPhee Radio and techno/ house." "Early on, your thumb let us know that songs like Favela by Ike Quebec and Slave To The Rhythm by Grace Jones were just right for you. " "Most recently, Poison (Radio Remix) by Bell Biv DeVoe was exactly what you wanted to hear." Damn, I am one mixed up kid.
	11:23am trs: Damn, what's the code doing?
	11:27am OTB: This sounds like it could be a Morton Feldman piece played really, really fast.
	11:28am Michele: I like this song
	11:29am Joe McG: @OTB: Ees real pretty.
	👻 11:29am 12539: (Typo alert, Joe: "Caravaggio 1610")
	11:29am Mike East: yes, really enjoying this Stalteri piece. Good morning joe and all!
	11:30am Joe McG: Thanks, 12539! Got to be careful when "auto loading" playlists!
	11:30am Mike Sin: "Goa di Fronte all'Oceano" Cranked up -- really high! Sounds great.
	11:31am Sem Chumbo: Geez, that was so churchy, I fell to my knees and almost prayed some. Thanks, Joe.
	11:33am Joe McG: Hey, Mike! Hey, Michele! Hey, Sem! Hey Mike Sin!
	11:34am Rev. Turnip Druid: DEAD BAT ON THE FLOOR!
	11:35am common: I heard that!
	11:37am Brendan: Dead bat in the middle of the road!
	11:40am Sem Chumbo: Good old Bill Mac. Nice find, lovely spin, there, Joe. Sweet.
	11:40am Brendan: If you listen carefully to the choir you can hear the guy from Killdozer in there along with Yoko Ono
	11:41am Joe McG: @Brendan: Ha ha ha. Knuckles R.I.P.
	11:44am Rev. Turnip Druid: NO-VELLAH!
	11:44am Brendan: Amen... He was a very good dog. He helped people. I'll be having an Irish wale for anyone that wants to get drunk relatively esrly
	11:44am Brendan: Irish wake...
	11:45am DCE: Noveller always gets an auto-click
	11:45am Cecile: I hope the King of Sex will be there, and you will be holding the wake at the beach, Brendan.
	11:46am listener james from westwood: Must escape the office for a bit; thanks muchly for the show, Joe!

While still at the library, surrounded by the music they had selected from the library's collection, Joe and Don decided to do the show anyway. The show that they recorded will be broadcast in full on today's Surface Noise.

	9:26am listener james from westwood: I feel like I'm in the midst of some excellent Marathon premium. That's just every day at Surface Noise!
	👻 9:26am Brian in UK: My record of the year. Oh no it's not Miriam.

	9:35am Cheri Pi: common and I both walked to work today, we deserve a t-shirt. Long sleeve.

	9:41am Rev. Turnip Druid: FOKES!
	9:41am Cheri Pi: Marcel, chilblains?
	9:42am Cheri Pi: PAP ATTACK!
	9:42am common: i agree, cheri.
	👻 9:43am Brian in UK: Hey Joe, in seven years you will be eleventy one. Was that a track by Manfred Mann or McGuiness Flint? Maybe The Hobbits.
	9:44am Joe McG: @Brian: Eleventy one is the age I'm really excited about.
	9:44am Marcel M: Cheri, I just had to look that up. No thanks!
	👻 9:44am Ken From Hyde Park: That was a good Happy Birthday tune. Most of them are pretty lame, like the one they used on Futurama.
	9:45am Rev. Turnip Druid: Admittedly I wimped out & took the bus. ... but I gotta earn some points for being the one to walk the pup. Said pup, being of short-hair and has a complex about pup-coats, was not pleased.
	9:48am pierre: Bonjour Joe and friends !
	9:48am Cheri Pi: Yeah I felt really sorry walking Mizz Megadeth this morning, especially since she just had a "hygenic shave" a few days ago and is pretty bare bottomed at the moment.
	9:48am Cheri Pi: PIERRE!!
	9:48am Greg from Bloomfield: Morning, gang! Happy 2015, Joey Mac!
	9:49am Rev. Turnip Druid: BEHOLD THEE TENTACULAR ONE!
	👻 9:49am Ken From Hyde Park: @pierre - I hope your area is safe from the shooters.

	10:02am βrian: Je suis à l'écoute, stylo à la main.
	10:03am pierre: everything seems safe here, everybody is just under shock the only thing that needs to be done is never forget what happened.
	10:03am Joe McG: Hey, 12539, and Brian, too! And anybody I left out!
	10:07am Roberto: See, you just said "org" twice and it's still fewer syllables than those silly DJs what sez "oh are gee."
	10:08am Joe McG: @Roberto: Oh, darn, you're right, I need THREE orgs!
	10:08am Roberto: That's what I'm talkin' 'bout Joe.
	10:09am trs: Swedish Chef it!
	10:10am Joe McG: Org org org!
	10:11am trs: Heh. Hey Joe. Long time no listen. Happy New Year.
	10:11am Roberto: I expect to hear all three at the next station ID.
	👻 10:11am Brian in UK: Is this Ethiopian, Joe?
	10:12am Claw!: I suspect they like saying O R G because it almost sounds like "orgy," and I like to assume that everyone's sense of humor is as childish as mine.
	10:12am Joe McG: @trs: Welcome back! @Brian: Sure is! BTW, if any of you dudes and dudettes are in NYC this Saturday, he's playing a gig in town.
	10:15am Marcel M: Damn, I might have to go to that.
	10:16am Joe McG: @Claw!: You may have something there! Maybe I'll try it and see how it feels.
	10:17am V Priceless: @ Claw! Hey, just a minute now...I resemble that remark!
	10:18am Brendan: Good morning Joe. Nice wafer buffalo groove.
	10:18am Brendan: Water (siri goofed)
	10:19am Joe McG: @Brendan: You can take a buffalo to water, but you can't make him...unstink?
	10:19am Whosondephone: :)
	👻 10:19am Brian in UK: Brendan I like Wafer Buffalo.
	10:19am βrian: Ask Siri about O.R.Gee.
	👻 10:20am Brian in UK: buffalo prosciutto
	👻 10:22am Brian in UK: @βrian the chickens are laying well despite the lack of daylight right now. (sounds like some kind of spy code)
	10:24am V Priceless: @ Brian in UK - ha! isn't it?
	10:24am DCE: you's can play this all day, I 'll be happy
	10:24am βrian: With the wind chill at -27℃, the neighbor's hens are on strike.
	10:30am βrian: The Mongomery Express has no need for speed. Ride on.
	10:35am Claw!: Hooray for single file! !
	10:36am DCE: Crow, you say? tinyurl.com...
	10:36am Claw!: There we go!
	10:37am V Priceless: ORGan!
	10:38am βrian: @Claw: Are you quoting Duke in Doonsebury?
	10:39am common: good! thought my headphones had given up the ghost.
	10:40am Claw!: No, βrian. Just exclaiming.
	10:40am Joe McG: Sorry, folks, looks like TT2 has decided to work on only one channel. Not having much luck troubleshooting it...
	10:40am DCE: oof I remember this song...
	10:42am V Priceless: new band name = Wolf Peter
	10:43am Claw!: Wolf Peter dot O R G
	10:43am Rev. Turnip Druid: Man.. something about the combination of plucky-poppy bass technique & gated reverb on drums. Essence o' 1980s. Very weird. Suddenly 17 yrs old again.
	10:43am DCE: yep that horrible sound always catapaults one back
	10:43am V Priceless: Hotlegs!! Woo!
	10:44am Rev. Turnip Druid: Youth wasn't all it was allegedly cracked up to be.
	10:44am Brendan: Two.. uhhh one turntable and a microphone
	10:45am Brendan: Where its at
	10:45am OTB: @Rev.: youth was a drag....
	10:46am FernandoBelmondo: Live queueing! That's why I listen to WFMU and not some algorithm.
	10:47am common: good call, rev.
	10:47am DCE: youth was great, we just lived through a horrible period, culturally. unfortunately i was not aware of the thriving punk scene just below the surface, at the time.
	10:50am steve: im with you Rev
	10:51am Joe McG: Well, folks, our good friend Scott Williams has been on the case and we should be back in business, I hope!
	10:52am Rev. Turnip Druid: At the time, I felt a need to escape the plucked-bass-and-gated-reverbed-drums by running downtown to gigs where we felt in danger of being trampled by skinheads. A strange choice, in hindsight.
	10:52am βrian: I once knew a Lillian. Not so many, these days.
	👻 10:53am 12539: (Yay for Scott!)
	10:53am Brendan: Joe and Scott for 2016! They get 'stuff' done!
	10:54am KP: Joe thanks for soldiering through and helping to make my parking adventure a successful if chilly one
	10:54am Joe McG: OK, this record was the big test. TT2 now fully functional!
	10:55am Rev. Turnip Druid: Getting a serious need for Skeeter Davis after this vibe..
	10:55am Rev. Turnip Druid: Also: SW for pope!
	10:56am dennis diken: digging the show Joe! (hey, that rhymes!)
	10:56am Brendan: Joe TT 2 coming in loud n clear in stereophonic mode.
	10:56am Joe McG: Hey, Dennis! Thanks for checking in! Usually this is a much smoother segment.
	10:57am dale: love the breathy vibrato of early marianne. i have one of her albums from that period but i can't tell if it's a compilation as it doesn't show up in her discography. it also has a weird time delayed echo on a couple of songs so i assume it was a repressing
	10:57am Marcel M: That Brenda Byers was nice
	10:58am V Priceless: nice product placement, Milt...not!
	11:00am dale: he's no shooby taylor, but with that scat i trust him.
	11:00am βrian: "Oh, Orchie!"
	11:01am listener james from westwood: "The Surface Noise Program was filmed before a live studio audience."
	11:01am dale: now i want cling peaches in heavy syrup.
	11:01am Brendan: Love the rag piano Joe
	11:01am Joe McG: Ha, you guys are killin' me over heah!
	11:02am MenfussMike: Theme to my favorite sitcom ever. You are a Meathead!
	11:02am Brendan: As the camera pans through the row houses
	11:02am Brendan: Wheres meathead
	11:03am dale: what happened to america's love affair with joplin-esque ragtime? marvin hamlisch - we need you now more than ever. of course there's that little thing about being dead...
	11:03am MenfussMike: "you wear one of those things the mystery is over"
	11:04am Dean: William Bolcom has written some lovely rags that maintain the tradition. Try his famous "Graceful Ghost."
	11:04am βrian: @dale: I believe it arrives in 60-year cycles.
	11:06am dale: so about 2030 or so. i'll hopefully still be around. 'i remember in nineteen ought seventy....'
	11:07am Brendan: The 3rd side was the 80s pop def lep version of photgraph
	11:09am Brendan: Crow was a band that hung out in trees
	11:10am Cecile: William Bolcom and Joan Morris were treasures in Ann Arbor, where they lived and taught. Still regret not seeing them back in the day.
	11:10am Marcel M: I think most of Zs work is actually composed Joe.
	11:10am MenfussMike: mr. airplane man are the greatest female band i have ever seen.
	11:11am Cecile: DAMN I missed proto-10cc Hotlegs.
	11:11am Dean: They were here recently in the Bay Area, too. Predictably, regrettably, I missed them.
	11:12am V Priceless: @ Cecile - yes! Was wondering where you were! Ha!
	11:12am Greg from Bloomfield: IBJ! IBJ! IBJ!
	11:12am Malequath: When is the interview with Mastodon drummer? Did you say toady at Noon or Midnight?

	11:13am Cecile: noon EST. 11 CST, 9 PST, and who cares about mountain time.
	11:14am Rev. Turnip Druid: When I'm in the mountains, I don't care about time.
	11:14am Malequath: Ty Cecile.
	11:14am Rev. Turnip Druid: Whoa, Lindisfarne, yay.
	11:14am Dean: Alan Hull!
	11:15am V Priceless: wow 'farne!
	11:16am Brendan: Airplane man wouldnt stand a chance agin Triangle Man
	11:16am Cecile: here is my Pandora statement for the year "Your 2014 soundtrack mostly played Joe McPhee Radio and techno/ house." "Early on, your thumb let us know that songs like Favela by Ike Quebec and Slave To The Rhythm by Grace Jones were just right for you. " "Most recently, Poison (Radio Remix) by Bell Biv DeVoe was exactly what you wanted to hear." Damn, I am one mixed up kid.
	11:23am trs: Damn, what's the code doing?
	11:27am OTB: This sounds like it could be a Morton Feldman piece played really, really fast.
	11:28am Michele: I like this song
	11:29am Joe McG: @OTB: Ees real pretty.
	👻 11:29am 12539: (Typo alert, Joe: "Caravaggio 1610")

	11:33am Joe McG: Hey, Mike! Hey, Michele! Hey, Sem! Hey Mike Sin!
	11:34am Rev. Turnip Druid: DEAD BAT ON THE FLOOR!
	11:35am common: I heard that!
	11:37am Brendan: Dead bat in the middle of the road!
	11:40am Sem Chumbo: Good old Bill Mac. Nice find, lovely spin, there, Joe. Sweet.
	11:40am Brendan: If you listen carefully to the choir you can hear the guy from Killdozer in there along with Yoko Ono
	11:41am Joe McG: @Brendan: Ha ha ha. Knuckles R.I.P.
	11:44am Rev. Turnip Druid: NO-VELLAH!
