	9:08am MplsCoco: Good morning Joe!
	9:09am TheLoneliestMonk: hey JoeMac: you are one dedicated dude to spend the last day of the year with us. HNY!
	9:10am Fredericks: This wormhole piece is quite interesting, Joseph.
	👻 9:13am tadpoles: Morning all. Nice stereo on this Wormhole.
	9:14am pantz: Oh yeah. The Ketamine is kicking in.
	9:16am MplsCoco: @pantz that's a great kick off to the morning!
	9:19am David Colangelo: Mr DJ. Really kicking hard...heard Eno this morn...now Phil Manzanera...love Roxy Music...
	9:20am Krys O.: Thank you so much for playing the Durutti Column!!!!
	9:20am Nulsh: Great to hear Vini Reilly's playing. That caught me off guard! Thanks Joe.
	9:21am The Oscar: The record store where I used to work had (and probably still has) a long-running list in the back where employees can write down their joke band names. Two staples of the list are "The Dorito Column" and "The Durante Column."
	9:22am Joe McG: We're starting today in a mellow guitar-oriented fashion. Let's sidle up to the morning slowly and see how it feels.
	9:24am Nulsh: Well I'm on board! The Oscar! I was trying to be all enigmatic and thoughtful but you got me laughing. Top band names!
	9:27am The Oscar: @Nulsh Ha, thanks-- puncturing moods is my specialty! :)
	9:29am fred: Good morning Joe and all
	9:32am mb: Hello DJ Joe McGasko
	9:32am pantz: Some Bill Frisell would fit in here nicely.
	9:32am fred: @The Oscar: The alt/noise scene in Amiens, France has a thing for puns in actual band names. My favorite is Cousteau Twins
	9:33am Joe McG: Hello and good morning, everyone, hope you're making all those resolutions that you will break!
	9:39am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Bad band name stolen from Calvin and Hobbes: "Hamster Huey and the Big Gooey Kablooie"
	9:40am McGreivey: Happy Old Years, yous guys.
	9:40am The Oscar: @Fred That's great!
	9:42am ledzeppelinsucks: Tomorrow is my favorite holiday. I love taco Tuesday
	9:43am Nulsh: Those free MOJO CDs have some real gems.
	9:46am The Oscar: I still have so many Mojo CDs from when I worked in the music department of a major chain bookstore in the mid-2000s-- they'd give us first dibs on all the stripped copies from the previous month. Some, like the "Roots of the Sex Pistols" one, I'd probably have paid money for on their own at the time.
	9:47am McGreivey: Yeah, I grab MOJO CDs whenever I see an interesting one at Times.
	9:50am Casper: I am ghosting this year. 2018 was so horrid for me, it doesn’t deserve a goodbye.
	9:50am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I have the Jimi Hendrix Mojo CD and the Nick Cave one (Murder Ballads!). Also, I gave my 15 year old son the Led Zeppelin issue of Mojo. He is going through a Led Zep phase right now.
	9:51am Robin Eisgrau: Amazing music this morning , Mr. McGasko! I loved hearing Durutti Column and Brigid Mae Power. Have a very happy new year:)
	9:52am Ike: Couldn't they just republish the same ones over and over again, and nobody would ever know the difference? Or at least the rubbish dinosaur rock sections, and just refresh the reviews etc.?
	👻 9:55am Brian in UK: Hey Joe. Do not buy music mags regularly, only on impulse like Joe did. How much info can you take. Uncut is my preference.
	9:55am fred: @Ike: I thought that was already their business model
	9:56am The Oscar: Here's a chilling thought: this time next year we'll all be reading "Best of the Decade" lists.
	9:57am Joe McG: I agree that MOJO continues to do these articles about rock dinosaurs ad nauseum, but it sells magazines, and they manage to slip in some articles about more interesting groups in there as well as good reviews and the occasional excellent covermount CD. So I'm willing to accept at this point that the Beatles or Dylan or whoever will be on the cover. @Oscar: Chilling!
	9:58am Joe McG: And thank you, Robin, Happy New Year to you!
	👻 9:58am Brian in UK: Would like to see a monthly review paper covering all music styles. But no reviewer is to use cliches like 'Beach Boys style harmonies'. A little original thought. Always enjoyed Andy Gill's reviews in the Independent.
	9:59am Roger: great show, Joe! The Brothers Four's version of Revolution on State of the Union: is remarkable!
	9:59am steveo: Good morning! I am "working" from home! I have two boys helping me listen :) The older one is at the point where he starts asking for WFMU when he senses we are coming back into range on car trips. I couldn't be prouder. The bass line from this made me think of Why Can't I Touch It.
	👻 10:00am tadpoles: Mojo dig up some great never-seen-before photos. The tribute CD to the Beatles Yellow Submarine from a couple of years ago was very neat.
	10:00am The Oscar: I really ought to pick up this comp. That Orbison cut from a few weeks ago was really something else.
	10:02am Greg from ZONE 5: Happy New Year, Joe and commenters!
	👻 10:03am tadpoles: #The Oscar...technically doesn't the decade end at the end of 2020 when hopefully we can celebrate a new beginning.
	10:06am Joe McG: Happy new year, Greg! Agree, Roger!
	10:06am thedunkel: Happy New Year Joe! Happy New Year All!
	10:11am Joe McG: Happy new year, dunkel! Hey steveo, and happy new year to all.
	10:16am Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Happy New Year, Joe! Some crazy guy dressed like Slash, complete with top hat, began playing saxophone beneath our window this morning (mostly "Happy Birthday" over and over) before finally abandoning his post a few minutes ago. Hoping somehow this is a good omen for 2019...
	10:17am sinner: Hallelujah!
	10:18am Joe McG: @SMS: Ha ha! It must be, since he wasn't playing "Sweet Child of Mine"!~
	10:26am melinda: Happy Eve!
	10:27am Joe McG: To you, too, melinda! All the best for 2019.
	10:27am fred: Why would anyone be playing "Sweet Child of Mine" by now? (I'm emphatically not daring you, Joe)
	10:29am mb: I'm curious Joe. How many instrumental versions of "Groovin'" have you come across? I'm a big fan of the one you use for your bed music.
	10:29am mb: There it is. Sweet segue
	10:34am Chi Bill: Hey Joe! Thanks for Fifty Foot Hose!!! Recognized it immediately as something I probably last heard in '67 (i was 9), had no idea who Fly Free was, got their album cued up.
	👻 10:37am Brian in UK: Joe, this takes me back. Easter 1964?
	10:38am The Oscar: THAT. IS. INCREDIBLE. (about the autograph). Also sad to hear about Honey's passing-- stumbled across some footage of them a while back and was blown away. I've always suspected Jello Biafra copped his vocal style from the singer of the Honeycombs.
	10:38am Michele: I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG!!!!
	10:39am Joe McG: @Oscar: One of my great record collecting finds ever!
	10:39am Joe McG: Hey, Michele! Happy New Year's Eve!
	10:40am paul: Joe Meek. Not your average Joe.
	👻 10:40am tadpoles: Great single Joe and great story!...is it on the "purple PYE" label. Sad to hear of another listing in the ever lasting Mojo obit. section.
	10:41am Listener Alexandra: Happy last show of 2018, Joe! Thank you for doing your part towards making our airwaves better, happier, softer and always sweeter.
	10:43am mauri: Happy new year wfmuland!
	10:44am Joe McG: Wow, thanks so much, Alex! Happy New Year to you! @tadpoles: It's actually a bit more burgundy-ish.
	10:44am fred: @paul: The station doesn't deal in average Joes. Yet there seems to be a growing supply of them
	10:45am paul: @fred. So true.
	10:46am Joe McG: You guys are swell. Thanks for listening and commenting all year long....
	10:47am Marc Francis: Happy New Year Joe! Thanks for all the great music and all the other work you do on the WFMU!
	10:49am The Oscar: I was really hoping the game of "Post Office" would just consist of meticulously sorting packages and waiting in line.
	10:50am paul: Speaking of Joes, this sounds like Joe Tex.
	10:52am Joe McG: Appreciate that, Marc, thanks! @paul: Agree!
	10:53am Nulsh: Marc Francis, top Oor Wullie pic!
	10:54am The Oscar: The same year as Devo's version!
	10:55am paul: Mo Moe.
	10:56am steveo: So you be my Marianne, and I'll be your Yoko Let's bury the hatchet like the Beatles The Beatles and the Stones
	10:58am Aaron Working In Newark: Great show today Joe
	10:58am Marc Francis: @Nulsh: Thanks!
	10:58am Joe McG: Thanks, Aaron! Having a good time as always!
	10:58am melinda: Haven't heard In the Mood in ages!
	11:00am TheLoneliestMonk: Hey JoeMac: any chance we could hear some funkzilla to ring out the old year? was thinking about bootsy collins this morning for some reason...
	11:03am Marc Francis: CHOOOOOOON
	11:03am brb: YES YMG!!! Thanks Jow
	11:04am paul: They just don't make good music anymore. :(
	11:05am steveo: I've never heard them en.wikipedia.org...
	11:06am Robin Eisgrau: I do like Robert Plant's solo songs. Thanx for playing this.
	11:09am G: Hehe ... Disenchantment Evening..
	👻 11:09am Ken From Hyde Park: Remember to hit up the post office for more stamps soon. Rates go up to 55¢ come 1/27/2019.
	11:09am paul: If they re-issue the Advertising album, I hope they spell it right. Just kidding, Joe. Happy new year! Thanks for 52 weeks of great music.
	11:12am melinda: Yay, Bobbie set!
	👻 11:13am Brian in UK: Eight CDs, not quite into Sandy Denny volumes yet. Trying to remember the TV series over here.
	11:13am holland oats: Wtf is this song about
	11:14am The Oscar: When you said Bobbie Gentry had a TV show my first thought was that it was a dramatic series-- like, Bobbie plays a down-home southern cop who somehow gets assigned to swinging London. I'd probably pay serious money to see that.
	11:15am paul: Comparing life to a merry-go-round.
	11:17am melinda: @Oscar haha
	👻 11:18am Brian in UK: Love the rhyme of pneumonia and 'phone yer.
	11:18am paul: Gotta run. Wishing you all peace and happiness in 2019.
	11:20am Joe McG: @Oscar: Ha! No, lost opportunity. She sang songs and had musical guests popular during that period.
	11:21am fred: Thanks Joe for playing these Bobbie Gentry songs
	11:21am Joe McG: My pleasure, fred. I know a lot of people haven't heard this box set, so I want to share some highlights.
	11:24am TheLoneliestMonk: pretty good article here: www.latimes.com...
	11:29am Joe McG: Thanks, TLM, that's a nice article!
	11:30am melinda: I love Apartment 21.
	11:32am Nulsh: Interesting stuff. Never actually listened to her. The midnight song was great.
	11:33am stuart troutman: she wasn't much a singer, was she....
	👻 11:34am tadpoles: Is "Niki Hoeky" on there Joe?
	11:34am Joe McG: @tadpoles: Yes, including a demo version.
	11:35am TheLoneliestMonk: @JoeMac: this lady sure got sick of the music biz, huh?
	11:37am TheLoneliestMonk: she wrote ALL her own stuff?
	11:38am Joe McG: No, she would've liked to, but Capitol pushed her to record a lot of covers. She had good taste, though! This traditional song for example.
	👻 11:39am tadpoles: Get hip to the consultation of the boolawee: www.youtube.com... Excellent.
	11:39am fred: Ouch, pricey stuff. Holiday gift-giving season means I'll have to wait, and probably forget about it
	11:40am Joe McG: @fred: I got it on Cyber Monday at a substantial discount, so that helped!
	👻 11:42am Ken From Hyde Park: I thought Faye wasn't on until 8PM tonight.
	11:43am Joe McG: @Ken: Ha! I'm playing her bed music!
	11:44am Cooh: You had me Faye-fooled as well.
	👻 11:46am Brian in UK: Joe and everyone, have a positive New Year, thanks.
	11:47am Nulsh: I love John Fahey! Went through a phase of listening to him all day. Bought what ever I could get my hands on.
	11:48am TheLoneliestMonk: @JoeMac: gettin' ready to sign off? here's to a happy healthy new year to you, and my extended 'FMU crew
	11:50am duke: Love this Orioles tune. Great version HNY to all.
	11:51am Roger: LOUDON!
	11:52am Joe McG: Bad sax alert! :)
	11:55am Joe McG: Thanks, everybody, and have a very happy 2019!
	11:55am melinda: Thanks Joe!
	👻 11:57am tadpoles: Looking forward to all the 2019 shows. Happy New Year Joe et al. Cheers.
	11:57am Roberto: Happy new-new Joe and co.!
	11:59am steveo: thanks joe happy new year! lovely show!

	9:59am steveo: Good morning! I am "working" from home! I have two boys helping me listen :) The older one is at the point where he starts asking for WFMU when he senses we are coming back into range on car trips. I couldn't be prouder. The bass line from this made me think of Why Can't I Touch It.
	👻 10:00am tadpoles: Mojo dig up some great never-seen-before photos. The tribute CD to the Beatles Yellow Submarine from a couple of years ago was very neat.
	10:00am The Oscar: I really ought to pick up this comp. That Orbison cut from a few weeks ago was really something else.
	10:02am Greg from ZONE 5: Happy New Year, Joe and commenters!
	👻 10:03am tadpoles: #The Oscar...technically doesn't the decade end at the end of 2020 when hopefully we can celebrate a new beginning.
	10:06am Joe McG: Happy new year, Greg! Agree, Roger!
	10:06am thedunkel: Happy New Year Joe! Happy New Year All!
	10:11am Joe McG: Happy new year, dunkel! Hey steveo, and happy new year to all.
	10:16am Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Happy New Year, Joe! Some crazy guy dressed like Slash, complete with top hat, began playing saxophone beneath our window this morning (mostly "Happy Birthday" over and over) before finally abandoning his post a few minutes ago. Hoping somehow this is a good omen for 2019...
	10:17am sinner: Hallelujah!
	10:18am Joe McG: @SMS: Ha ha! It must be, since he wasn't playing "Sweet Child of Mine"!~
	10:26am melinda: Happy Eve!
	10:27am Joe McG: To you, too, melinda! All the best for 2019.
	10:27am fred: Why would anyone be playing "Sweet Child of Mine" by now? (I'm emphatically not daring you, Joe)
	10:29am mb: I'm curious Joe. How many instrumental versions of "Groovin'" have you come across? I'm a big fan of the one you use for your bed music.
	10:29am mb: There it is. Sweet segue
	10:34am Chi Bill: Hey Joe! Thanks for Fifty Foot Hose!!! Recognized it immediately as something I probably last heard in '67 (i was 9), had no idea who Fly Free was, got their album cued up.
	👻 10:37am Brian in UK: Joe, this takes me back. Easter 1964?
	10:38am The Oscar: THAT. IS. INCREDIBLE. (about the autograph). Also sad to hear about Honey's passing-- stumbled across some footage of them a while back and was blown away. I've always suspected Jello Biafra copped his vocal style from the singer of the Honeycombs.
	10:38am Michele: I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG!!!!
	10:39am Joe McG: @Oscar: One of my great record collecting finds ever!
	10:39am Joe McG: Hey, Michele! Happy New Year's Eve!
	10:40am paul: Joe Meek. Not your average Joe.
	👻 10:40am tadpoles: Great single Joe and great story!...is it on the "purple PYE" label. Sad to hear of another listing in the ever lasting Mojo obit. section.
	10:41am Listener Alexandra: Happy last show of 2018, Joe! Thank you for doing your part towards making our airwaves better, happier, softer and always sweeter.
	10:43am mauri: Happy new year wfmuland!
	10:44am Joe McG: Wow, thanks so much, Alex! Happy New Year to you! @tadpoles: It's actually a bit more burgundy-ish.
	10:44am fred: @paul: The station doesn't deal in average Joes. Yet there seems to be a growing supply of them
	10:45am paul: @fred. So true.
	10:46am Joe McG: You guys are swell. Thanks for listening and commenting all year long....
	10:47am Marc Francis: Happy New Year Joe! Thanks for all the great music and all the other work you do on the WFMU!
	10:49am The Oscar: I was really hoping the game of "Post Office" would just consist of meticulously sorting packages and waiting in line.
	10:50am paul: Speaking of Joes, this sounds like Joe Tex.
	10:52am Joe McG: Appreciate that, Marc, thanks! @paul: Agree!
	10:53am Nulsh: Marc Francis, top Oor Wullie pic!
	10:54am The Oscar: The same year as Devo's version!
	10:55am paul: Mo Moe.
	10:56am steveo: So you be my Marianne, and I'll be your Yoko Let's bury the hatchet like the Beatles The Beatles and the Stones
	10:58am Aaron Working In Newark: Great show today Joe
	10:58am Marc Francis: @Nulsh: Thanks!
	10:58am Joe McG: Thanks, Aaron! Having a good time as always!
	10:58am melinda: Haven't heard In the Mood in ages!
	11:00am TheLoneliestMonk: Hey JoeMac: any chance we could hear some funkzilla to ring out the old year? was thinking about bootsy collins this morning for some reason...
	11:03am Marc Francis: CHOOOOOOON
	11:03am brb: YES YMG!!! Thanks Jow
	11:04am paul: They just don't make good music anymore. :(
	11:05am steveo: I've never heard them en.wikipedia.org...
	11:06am Robin Eisgrau: I do like Robert Plant's solo songs. Thanx for playing this.
	11:09am G: Hehe ... Disenchantment Evening..
	👻 11:09am Ken From Hyde Park: Remember to hit up the post office for more stamps soon. Rates go up to 55¢ come 1/27/2019.
	11:09am paul: If they re-issue the Advertising album, I hope they spell it right. Just kidding, Joe. Happy new year! Thanks for 52 weeks of great music.
	11:12am melinda: Yay, Bobbie set!
	👻 11:13am Brian in UK: Eight CDs, not quite into Sandy Denny volumes yet. Trying to remember the TV series over here.
	11:13am holland oats: Wtf is this song about
	11:14am The Oscar: When you said Bobbie Gentry had a TV show my first thought was that it was a dramatic series-- like, Bobbie plays a down-home southern cop who somehow gets assigned to swinging London. I'd probably pay serious money to see that.
	11:15am paul: Comparing life to a merry-go-round.
	11:17am melinda: @Oscar haha
	👻 11:18am Brian in UK: Love the rhyme of pneumonia and 'phone yer.
	11:18am paul: Gotta run. Wishing you all peace and happiness in 2019.
	11:20am Joe McG: @Oscar: Ha! No, lost opportunity. She sang songs and had musical guests popular during that period.
	11:21am fred: Thanks Joe for playing these Bobbie Gentry songs
	11:21am Joe McG: My pleasure, fred. I know a lot of people haven't heard this box set, so I want to share some highlights.
	11:24am TheLoneliestMonk: pretty good article here: www.latimes.com...
	11:29am Joe McG: Thanks, TLM, that's a nice article!
	11:30am melinda: I love Apartment 21.
	11:32am Nulsh: Interesting stuff. Never actually listened to her. The midnight song was great.
	11:33am stuart troutman: she wasn't much a singer, was she....
	👻 11:34am tadpoles: Is "Niki Hoeky" on there Joe?
	11:34am Joe McG: @tadpoles: Yes, including a demo version.
	11:35am TheLoneliestMonk: @JoeMac: this lady sure got sick of the music biz, huh?
	11:37am TheLoneliestMonk: she wrote ALL her own stuff?
	11:38am Joe McG: No, she would've liked to, but Capitol pushed her to record a lot of covers. She had good taste, though! This traditional song for example.
	👻 11:39am tadpoles: Get hip to the consultation of the boolawee: www.youtube.com... Excellent.
	11:39am fred: Ouch, pricey stuff. Holiday gift-giving season means I'll have to wait, and probably forget about it
	11:40am Joe McG: @fred: I got it on Cyber Monday at a substantial discount, so that helped!
	👻 11:42am Ken From Hyde Park: I thought Faye wasn't on until 8PM tonight.
	11:43am Joe McG: @Ken: Ha! I'm playing her bed music!
	11:44am Cooh: You had me Faye-fooled as well.
	👻 11:46am Brian in UK: Joe and everyone, have a positive New Year, thanks.
	11:47am Nulsh: I love John Fahey! Went through a phase of listening to him all day. Bought what ever I could get my hands on.
	11:48am TheLoneliestMonk: @JoeMac: gettin' ready to sign off? here's to a happy healthy new year to you, and my extended 'FMU crew
	11:50am duke: Love this Orioles tune. Great version HNY to all.
	11:51am Roger: LOUDON!
