Listener comments!
	6:07am fred: Good morning and welcome back Paul
	6:09am DJ PB: Thanks, Fred! Do you ever sleep?!
	6:12am Guido from Cologne: Good morning Paul & Fred! It's noon in Europe! :-)
	6:19am fred: Hi Guido! @Paul: Funny line about me never sleeping after I woke up at 11am
	6:33am DJ PB: Well you always seem to be online when I'm on, Fred! Which is very random. Thanks for checking in too, Guido!
	6:48am fred: @Paul: maybe it's just that I like your show, so I'll say hi, even if I'm only listening for a short time
	6:49am DJ PB: It's always appreciated, Fred!
	6:51am pacific standard simon: Graaaugh! Hulk smash! Predator sounds kinda like The Dickies.
	6:54am DJ PB: The vocals maybe, Simon?
	6:56am pacific standard simon: Could be. What other categories you got?
	7:00am DJ PB: After singles we've got the top 25 LPs! And that should take us to the end of the show.
	7:04am pacific standard simon: I won't make it to the end, but I appreciate the recommendations.
	7:12am DJ PB: No problem, Simon. Hopefully, I'll make it to the end!
	7:15am Guido from Cologne: can WFMU provide distribution for it's "in-house"-Bands? No idea where to purchse the Sunshine & The Rain 7''
	7:17am DJ PB: Get it here, Guido! sunshineandtherain.bandcamp.com
	7:20am Guido from Cologne: Oh, great, finally they put it on bandcamp! Thanks paul!
	7:23am Mailman Tom: Whenever I hear the word "thighmaster", I can't help but think of Suzanne Sommers.
	7:27am pacific standard simon: Again with the vocal similarities -- Constant Mongrel sounds like Wire.
	7:30am KP: Morning, Paul. Very encouraging
	7:32am DJ PB: Simon, Tom: oddly enough, when i heard Suzanne Sommers I think of Wire! They were the musical guest on a talk show she briefly hosted in the 80s. Looks for the clip on YouTube. It's bonkers!
	7:35am Mailman Tom: I've never seen a clip of Wire. Thanks for the heads up, Paul!
	7:40am DJ PB: Morning, KP!
	7:40am listener mark: Good morning Paulie B. I just woke up with the radio still on from last night. And here you are playing the platters that matter.
	7:42am DJ PB: Mark, I prefer to think of it as the clatter that matters.
	7:42am Mailman Tom: As soon as this show hits the archives, I'm re-playing it.
	7:47am DJ PB: May want to check with a doctor first, Tom!
	7:58am Mailman Tom: You're on WFMU only about once every month. Why is that?
	8:02am Howard F: Thanks for playing Mikal Cronin! I saw him at 4Knots Festival on Pier 84 in July. That was a fun day.
	8:03am DJ PB: I'm a fill-in DJ, Tom. I'm on the air when someone can't make their regular show and they ask me to cover for them.
	8:15am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...had to check Deaf Wish didn't involve J. Mascics...a good thing...
	8:19am pacific standard simon: I think Mailman Tom knows that, and wonders why more DJs don't pick you as a fill-in. A good question.
	8:24am fred: Maybe some DJs are afraid to be Wally Pipped
	8:25am herb.nyc: This is one great list, and shows how behind I am. Thanks for learning me.
	8:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hell - I wish most FMU-Js were their own 24/7 stream. If Archive players were continuous episode-to-episode, I suppose that would be close...Fill-in DJs get to save it all up, too - dark horses...Would it be déclassé to mention PaulBruno does the Unblinking Ear podcast: theunblinkingear.blogspot.com ? Yes? Might be a job for me then...
	8:29am DJ PB: I wonder that myself sometimes! Honestly, I think a big reason because I'm not at the station as much as some of the other fill-in DJs. Out of sight, out of mind. Of course, the other end of it is that sometimes they all come at once, especially during holidays. I was asked by 4 different DJs of Thanksgiving weekend! There's really no rhyme or reason. I just try to enjoy it when I have the opportunity.
	8:31am DJ PB: It would probably be déclassé for me to mention it (and in violation of WFMU's conflict of interest policy) but you're welcome to, Rabbit!
	8:31am herb.nyc: I tuned in about 7.40am, and the lists veer towards kick ass rock. Is there anything like the Chills in the running? You know, sensitive mopey stuff. I hear their new one is v good.
	8:34am Mailman Tom: Thanks for the info, Revolution R !
	8:36am DJ PB: The new Chills LP is pretty good! There's definitely a bit of sensitive mopey-ness coming up. And if you like the Chills, my #1 pick is going to be right up your alley.
	8:38am herb.nyc: I (and my cat Natalie Lewinsky) await the #1 pick, thanks.
	8:39am Guido from Cologne: Thanks for the great show paul! enjoyed it very much! And Sunshine&theRain just sold another single right now.
	8:41am herb.nyc: I first heard the name PROTOMARTYR on npr's Sound Opinion about 2 months ago. That was a good song just played. Maybe I get a music hall of w'burg ticket...
	8:45am DonJuanTijuana: Cool show & concept PB!
	8:46am herb.nyc: The Big Takeover magazine, done by good pal Jack Rabid, votes Royal Headache #1 !! (Now buy the mag, plz. He's got 2 youngn kids to feed. Thx)
	8:51am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Paul and everybody!
	8:52am fred: I saw Protomartyr just once, and they obviously had an off day. The venue didn't help. Now I guess they'll be out of my price range next time. Win some lose some...
	8:54am Chris M.: Paul rocks happy holidays
	8:56am Ken From Hyde Park: This is cool to have a year-end summary show. The WFMU blog used to have lists from various DJs.
	8:56am DJ PB: Thanks for listening and commenting everyone! Much appreciated!
	8:57am Will: Dick Diver! Is the emphasis on the first word or the second?
	8:57am fred: Thanks Paul, I hope to catch your show again soon(ish)
	8:58am herb.nyc: I like this #1 album. Here I come, Other Music...
	8:58am Mike Sin: Benn listening to your show over coffee and bagels, and it's been quite fun.

	7:12am DJ PB: No problem, Simon. Hopefully, I'll make it to the end!
	7:15am Guido from Cologne: can WFMU provide distribution for it's "in-house"-Bands? No idea where to purchse the Sunshine & The Rain 7''
	7:17am DJ PB: Get it here, Guido! sunshineandtherain.bandcamp.com
	7:20am Guido from Cologne: Oh, great, finally they put it on bandcamp! Thanks paul!
	7:23am Mailman Tom: Whenever I hear the word "thighmaster", I can't help but think of Suzanne Sommers.
	7:27am pacific standard simon: Again with the vocal similarities -- Constant Mongrel sounds like Wire.
	7:30am KP: Morning, Paul. Very encouraging
	7:32am DJ PB: Simon, Tom: oddly enough, when i heard Suzanne Sommers I think of Wire! They were the musical guest on a talk show she briefly hosted in the 80s. Looks for the clip on YouTube. It's bonkers!
	7:35am Mailman Tom: I've never seen a clip of Wire. Thanks for the heads up, Paul!
	7:40am DJ PB: Morning, KP!
	7:40am listener mark: Good morning Paulie B. I just woke up with the radio still on from last night. And here you are playing the platters that matter.
	7:42am DJ PB: Mark, I prefer to think of it as the clatter that matters.
	7:42am Mailman Tom: As soon as this show hits the archives, I'm re-playing it.
	7:47am DJ PB: May want to check with a doctor first, Tom!
	7:58am Mailman Tom: You're on WFMU only about once every month. Why is that?
	8:02am Howard F: Thanks for playing Mikal Cronin! I saw him at 4Knots Festival on Pier 84 in July. That was a fun day.
	8:03am DJ PB: I'm a fill-in DJ, Tom. I'm on the air when someone can't make their regular show and they ask me to cover for them.
	8:15am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...had to check Deaf Wish didn't involve J. Mascics...a good thing...
	8:19am pacific standard simon: I think Mailman Tom knows that, and wonders why more DJs don't pick you as a fill-in. A good question.
	8:24am fred: Maybe some DJs are afraid to be Wally Pipped
	8:25am herb.nyc: This is one great list, and shows how behind I am. Thanks for learning me.
	8:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hell - I wish most FMU-Js were their own 24/7 stream. If Archive players were continuous episode-to-episode, I suppose that would be close...Fill-in DJs get to save it all up, too - dark horses...Would it be déclassé to mention PaulBruno does the Unblinking Ear podcast: theunblinkingear.blogspot.com ? Yes? Might be a job for me then...
	8:29am DJ PB: I wonder that myself sometimes! Honestly, I think a big reason because I'm not at the station as much as some of the other fill-in DJs. Out of sight, out of mind. Of course, the other end of it is that sometimes they all come at once, especially during holidays. I was asked by 4 different DJs of Thanksgiving weekend! There's really no rhyme or reason. I just try to enjoy it when I have the opportunity.
	8:31am DJ PB: It would probably be déclassé for me to mention it (and in violation of WFMU's conflict of interest policy) but you're welcome to, Rabbit!
	8:31am herb.nyc: I tuned in about 7.40am, and the lists veer towards kick ass rock. Is there anything like the Chills in the running? You know, sensitive mopey stuff. I hear their new one is v good.
	8:34am Mailman Tom: Thanks for the info, Revolution R !
	8:36am DJ PB: The new Chills LP is pretty good! There's definitely a bit of sensitive mopey-ness coming up. And if you like the Chills, my #1 pick is going to be right up your alley.
	8:38am herb.nyc: I (and my cat Natalie Lewinsky) await the #1 pick, thanks.
	8:39am Guido from Cologne: Thanks for the great show paul! enjoyed it very much! And Sunshine&theRain just sold another single right now.
	8:41am herb.nyc: I first heard the name PROTOMARTYR on npr's Sound Opinion about 2 months ago. That was a good song just played. Maybe I get a music hall of w'burg ticket...
	8:45am DonJuanTijuana: Cool show & concept PB!
	8:46am herb.nyc: The Big Takeover magazine, done by good pal Jack Rabid, votes Royal Headache #1 !! (Now buy the mag, plz. He's got 2 youngn kids to feed. Thx)
	8:51am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, Paul and everybody!
	8:52am fred: I saw Protomartyr just once, and they obviously had an off day. The venue didn't help. Now I guess they'll be out of my price range next time. Win some lose some...
	8:54am Chris M.: Paul rocks happy holidays
	8:56am Ken From Hyde Park: This is cool to have a year-end summary show. The WFMU blog used to have lists from various DJs.
	8:56am DJ PB: Thanks for listening and commenting everyone! Much appreciated!
	8:57am Will: Dick Diver! Is the emphasis on the first word or the second?
	8:57am fred: Thanks Paul, I hope to catch your show again soon(ish)
	8:58am herb.nyc: I like this #1 album. Here I come, Other Music...
	8:58am Mike Sin: Benn listening to your show over coffee and bagels, and it's been quite fun.
