	9:08am Stillwell Coney Islander: Good morning Joe!
	9:08am Handy Haversack: Staycation here, too, but we're gonna get out on the ferries today. Cross a couple of rivers. HyperDose, I saw someone describe Raised by Wolves as like Game of Thrones on a ton of coke, which seemed fairly reasonable!
	9:08am Sigurður: May love be in everybody's day 💖
	9:09am morphe': A Sam Cooke related theme day????? A B-Day or a related death day????
	9:09am Clay Pigeon: Sounding great Joe! Miss you my friend.

	👻 9:19am Hughie Considine: Pearl's "Five Pound Box of Money" is an Xmas classic!
	👻 9:19am Webhamster Henry: I was waiting for Sammy to show up!
	9:21am morphe': Handy - as I mentined - one of my major grievances about Madrid (not a pet peeve) major grievance is the lack of water .. SI Ferry is a rouyine for me .. the former Free Home Depot weekend ferry is no longer free ... in fine weather ..the ferry to something beach NJ is great - may be that no doggies on the beach ???? no beer ... hitched into the town and had to hide the beer on the beach....
	9:22am Handy Haversack: The nice thing is you can have beers on the ferries here, morph! Over Tgiving week, we met friends at DUMBO and rode to Wall St. and then Rockaway and back on the ferries. Brought the dog and beers and had a fine time.
	9:23am TDK60: Morphe, someday after the plague, we'll take a Staten Island Ferry ride, just for the breezes.
	9:23am dave wuz here: i'ma fella loves some Ella
	9:23am Marc Francis: I love when Boxing Day falls on a Saturday and we get the Monday off and Joe plays great music. Hell's yeah I do.
	9:24am Dennis Diken: good morning Joe and all! it was a genius move to pair Sammy with Sam & the Witnesses!
	9:25am Joe McG: @Dennis: I agree! I wish the LP got a bit wilder, but it's quality all the way!
	9:25am Mike W: I have that Sammy & Sam record — what’s the back say? “The city — Vegas. The time — 2am. The mood — swings.”
	👻 9:25am YETI BOB: @morphe' are you hiding morse code in your messages? - - .. .. ... .. - ... .... ;)
	9:26am Joe McG: @Mike W: Actually "Four in the morn"!
	9:27am Mike W: FOUR IN THE MORN what kinda world When I got to interview Keely Smith in the early 2000s she had some storrrrries
	9:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ella - technique, power, tone, inventiveness - sheer delight in what she's doing. Lyrics schmyrics.
	9:28am Mike W: Gonna try to make the opening to this Ray Charles jam the attitude i bring to everything in life
	9:28am HyperDose: I remember tall boys and hot dogs in Hoboken. Good times
	9:29am Mike in S. Jersey: FYI, Carol Kaye on bass here w/ Ray (thumbs up emoji)
	9:29am JtotheK: Wonderful set, Joe! Hi everyone.
	9:30am morphe': Handy I only drink in public, but never new the ferries were covered by Maritime Law until I saw a soulmate with an open Bev ... he explained... Fantastic like the women says on Clay''s show
	9:30am Joe McG: That Ray Charles record gives me chills on my arms every time I play it.
	9:30am Mike in S. Jersey: Mike W --- How can one hear your interview w/ Keely Smith?
	9:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...KeelySmith stories !!
	9:32am JtotheK: I also like the Nick Ashford “I Don’t Need No Doctor” 45 on Verve.
	👻 9:32am waters7: Love you, Joe!
	9:32am Doug in JC: You can drink on trains too, as long as the railroad allows it.
	👻 9:32am Brian in UK: Hey Joe.
	9:32am Dennis Diken: Had the pleasure of working with Sonny Charles from Checkmates Ltd a few years ago. a class act! Mike Shelley did a cool interview with him a few months back, worth checking on the archives
	9:33am Joe McG: Same to you, waters7! @JtotheK: Haven't heard, need to!
	9:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: HumblePie Dr. ...DeathWish Coffee ! Can't wait to wake up now...
	9:33am Mike in S. Jersey: I tried drinking a beer on my commute home on the LIRR a couple of times. Made it even more depressing :(
	9:34am Pedro in Arlington: You are killing it, Joe. Maybe Ray's greatest track and not even on Atlantic.
	9:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Anita !
	9:36am JtotheK: Joe I didn’t know of the Nick Ashford until a buddy spun it out - and then I learned it was before the Ray Charles and was written by Ashford. (Brief Internet research confirms.)
	👻 9:37am LW Rhino: Hey pass me that basketball !
	9:38am Crei6hton: Morning WFMU!
	9:39am Handy Haversack: I don't get on LIRR or Metro North without a beer.
	9:39am P-90: Now Anita, this is going well. And whatever one can say about 2020, at least it did contain another year of Surface Noise. Thanks DJ Joe McG, and also for collaborating on that primo Christmas edition of SBB on Friday.
	9:40am Dennis Diken: @Mike W - indeed, would love to hear the Keely lore! and - this is a good read: High Times, Hard Times by Anita O'Day
	9:40am Tim 07030: Anita O'Day was introdiced to heroin by a guy named Harry the Hipster. Stay away from hipsters, people! And Happy Holidays to you, Joe!
	9:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Beer is proof gawd is tired of us & wants us to travel elsewhere.
	9:42am Stillwell Coney Islander: Anitas are the bomb !
	9:46am Mike W: @Mike in S. Jersey (and others) — unfortunately it was for a print publication who didn’t believe in the internet until it had been buried by it (Time Out NY). If I knew where the tape was... I had seen Keely with Sam and the Witnesses at the Desert Inn c. 1994, she had an arm in a sling (she’d slipped on some ice) and the band was SO sharp. Got on the phone with her six or seven years later and it was a long string of Louis’s cruelties and indiscretions, with her sighing and half-pardoning him as she went along (“that was the way it was then” and so forth). Thank you Dennis for that Anita O’Day recommendation!
	9:48am P-90: The Ice House is a classic joint, it’s still in biz, though closed now for the duration of the public health issue.
	9:48am Mike W: Keely’s Irving Plaza show (pretty sure it was there) was great, such a presence, she’d clearly learned from (and perhaps knew all along) how to run a room
	👻 9:48am Hughie Considine: The Khru would seem to be a great fit for this kind of thing...
	9:49am Joe McG: Wow, the Ice House is still there! That's fabulous. @Mike W: Might play some Keely later, I brought some!
	9:51am Joe McG: @P-90: Thanks for the kind words! @Mike: You've interviewed the great Keely, what a lucky person you are. @Dennis: I have a few 78s by Harry The Hipster Gibson! Didn't know he was a junkie.
	10:00am Dennis Diken: @Mike W - please find that tape!
	10:02am Mike W: the records I have with this “Slipping into Darkness” credit Carl Bradney, wonder why the name is changed... I was so lucky to get on a phone with Keely and I told her that first thing! She was just plain generous with the storytelling. Later I got the same feeling while interviewing Bert Jansch — he had a new album and tour and probably didn’t much feel like talking to anyone about that or anything (friendly but very soft-spoken), yet he indulged me and talked ramblingly about touring around the UK in the 1960s with Anne Briggs et al. jesus i have been lucky, haven't i [touches wood furniture, kisses dog, presses onward]
	10:02am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: So glad never had the delusion I was stronger than addictive & powerful drugs. Being slight & knowing it may have saved me.
	10:03am Mike W: @Revolution Rabbit i have smoked so much hobbit leaf this year and i frequently think about how i never tried hard/addictive drugs and am so much less the worse because of it
	10:04am Handy Haversack: Dog kissing is addictive, though. I just indulged also.
	10:04am Mike W: i guess i have sipped at a wine bladder and did not feel a need for more wine the next day, sometimes
	10:06am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Jansch too! Nov.3rd like me... Not to say I haven't been stoopid with drugs & I am caffeine's bitch - &tc. ... The 1st victim of Prohibitions is Truth - & not even having information.
	10:13am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Of course it's hard to turn away something that takes away pain & anxiety.
	10:15am Son Of Pantz: What a great song. I've never heard of Freedom Affair.
	10:18am Joe McG: @pantz: Their album from a few months ago is pretty good! Colemine put out a lot of good records this year.
	10:19am Hubig Pie: Bleery eyed and groovy
	10:21am Son Of Pantz: I'll have to check them out...after your show, of course.
	👻 10:23am Marley P. Dogg: Joe McG - my copy of Stardrive is supposed to arrive today!
	10:25am Joe McG: @Marley: Excellent!
	10:25am Handy Haversack: Rev Rab (@10:13), hence the dog kissing!
	10:25am hhaha: nice one, groovy , I took the rush of caffeine,,, And now it is a good day!
	10:27am Steve from Dunwoody: Freedom Is Freeform!
	10:28am Stanley: Baby You're a Jive Cat. What a great song title.
	10:28am Bobby: Thank you for the Joe Bisso! That was the funky spice that was missing from my morning gumbo. Damn!!!
	10:31am Handy Haversack: I checked with one of the local cats, and her jive status remains indeterminate.
	10:31am morphe': The Reagge made me think of the lovely Mongolian/Turkestan??? film about the soldier, camels, marriage and the crazy driver playing Rivers of Babylon .. THE TITLE ANYONE???? Early song DOCTOR - Made me thinking of NIGHT NURSE missing my Maribel - 3,000 mile away in NYC
	10:32am Hubig Pie: Cow Bell!
	👻 10:32am Threemoons: Just came off of an insipid "training" Zoom for my gig. So glad you are all here to help me keep my sanity...
	👻 10:32am Ken From Hyde Park: 🤘 Leslie West, RIP 🤘
	10:32am Son Of Pantz: I know what he means!
	10:33am paul: Remember the scene from Vanishing Point?
	10:34am JG: Love that big Mountain riff
	10:34am Roberto: Regular Show's take: www.youtube.com...
	👻 10:35am Brian in UK: Ah two fey Englishmen.
	10:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TheWho let LeslieWest onstage with them to play Lead. That speaks VOLUME(s).
	10:35am TDK60: Revrab, up to 11 volumes.
	10:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: C&J this affected Pop - but the standards were high.
	10:37am Mike W: how do i go for a dogwalk when this opening jangle hits the air
	10:37am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	10:37am ami ad: Hello DJ. Hello all. Top of the morning.
	10:38am adampsyche: hi Joe thank you for the show and I remember you playing this song a few years ago and it was lovely
	10:39am Joe McG: Thanks, adam! Hi, ami!
	10:39am WR: morphe @10:31, hope someone answers with the name of that movie. Sounds like something I'd like to see as a new year cones around.
	10:40am adampsyche: www.wfmu.org... I have that bookmarked under "lower your blood pressure"
	👻 10:41am Brian in UK: Wacky World Pacific releases.
	10:41am Joe McG: Oh yeah, that was my birthday show! That was fun.
	👻 10:42am Webhamster Henry: Rock that electric sitar!
	10:43am WR: @Mike W @10:37, I've realized that my dumb phone is best used as mobile WFMU listening device. No need to miss a note just because have to go run some errands.
	10:43am Neil M: Holy smokes! Shocking Blue. I've been playing them like crazy lately. Many good deep cuts! Thanks Joe. Great as always.
	10:43am Son Of Pantz: Don't make love on hot sand. It comes with many complications.
	10:45am Joe McG: Ha ha! Itchy scratchy!
	10:45am TDK60: Alreet, a tough Animal track. (Don't mention that other band.)
	10:45am Mister Dobalina: I like this song!
	10:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Remember The Animals !
	10:46am John W: Happy New Year Joe! Thanks for the music that made this year less unbearable.
	10:46am Joe McG: Tough is right. This is such a tough record!
	10:46am Joe McG: Many thanks, John, so happy I could be here.
	10:49am John W: And now time for some ak-shone!
	10:49am Roberto: Who doesn't want some ack-shawn?
	10:49am Stanley: Yous killin i't with this. Acshon!
	10:50am Son Of Pantz: "Couples only skate!"
	10:50am Joe McG: You won't hear a better segueway on this show from the Animals to Alicia B.
	10:50am Roberto: Ha! Apparently it's open to multiple interpretations.
	10:51am Roberto: Joe, you do realize that would be pronounced "seg-way-way," right?
	10:52am Handy Haversack: Hey, ami ad. How goes?
	10:52am Oslo coffee: Ack! Sean?
	10:52am Joe McG: @Roberto: Seggievay.
	10:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: That's when you don't even let yer transpo walk for itself ...& a beer for that lovely robot right there...
	10:54am Ike: Hi folks! @Roberto, I was just thinking that. At some point, "segue" went from being misspelled "segway" to "segueway", at least here at FMU. It's definitely a strange word. Apparently it comes from Italian: www.merriam-webster.com...
	10:54am Roberto: Oy segvay.
	10:54am TDK60: I'm puzzled; I never hear the seque. (And once I got asked to leave a music store when I asked if they carried continuos.)
	10:55am Ike: Oooo, a new spelling! Love it!
	10:55am Mister Dobalina: I hear many samples of hip-hop music.
	10:55am zopa: right on, Joe. right on.
	👻 10:55am Ken From Hyde Park: I always thought it was "segweigh."
	10:56am Joe McG: Smooooooooth transitions are FMU's specialty.
	10:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: A total non-segueitor.
	👻 10:57am Threemoons: RIGHT ON! (fighting the power by slacking at my temporary shit gig one cup of coffee at a time). I wish that herb was legal in NY because I sure could use some right now. And yeah, I could get a medical card but it goes on your New York State ID and I don't want to deal just yet...
	10:57am BillD: Good morning . Never knew The Animals did such a great version of Inside Looking Out. Grand Funk Railroad be damned!
	10:58am ami ad: Handy Haversack: Hi. How do? All's well(?), sitting in the chair here. Probably gonna segway to the sofa later.
	11:00am Joe McG: Hope you're all doing your do.
	11:00am Handy Haversack: The days are packed, ami ad! We're going to take the ferry later, and standards are so lowered that it feels like a major expedition!
	11:00am The Butterman: That trumpeter is going to get fined!
	11:00am Hubig Pie: Get it right or gonna cost you 5 dollars
	11:00am Son Of Pantz: Mtn Dew hasn't capitalized on this song yet?
	11:01am still b/p: Caine Mutiny update: "There are five ways of doing things on board my ship: The right way, the wrong way, the Navy way, the segueway and my way."
	11:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Take me Out in the morning Do muh darlin'.

	11:06am Hubig Pie: Fine will be assessed in either Bootsy Bucks or Maceo Pesos
	11:06am northcaroline: That Alicia Bridges song was used in Love At First Bite with George Hamilton, vampire disco era classic.
	11:07am PaulRobeson1920: Gotta LoVE WFMU!
	11:10am Elle Tor's Husband: My first concert was Mountain at Winterland 1975 opening for Elvin Bishop. Wow! Then I heard Iggy Pop and it was all over
	11:10am the Master: Pong!
	11:10am Buddha of Suburbia: Hi Joe McGasko! Hi gang!
	11:10am Handy Haversack: If Pong was the only video game ever made, that would have been just fine. I don't need any more than what it gives!
	11:11am Buddha of Suburbia: Hey Handy!!
	11:11am Ochre Ogre: Hi Joe, Great lip sync blooper on I'm Your Venus and Mariska knows it, on Youtube.
	11:12am Handy Haversack: Boodz!
	11:12am Ike: I'm not getting back into video games until they bring back Metroid, dammit! I want a new Metroid sequel! Or a sequel to the great snail-based Metroid knockoff, Snailiad. (Seriously. That is a thing. It's free online.)
	11:13am johnk77: great show pete townsend's favorite north american guitarist circa 1969/70 was joe walsh;>
	11:14am Buddha of Suburbia: Ike I'm loving your profile GIF
	11:14am still b/p: My recollection of playing Pong in a Mister Donut seems simultaneously like a bleak and perfect teenage memory moment.
	11:15am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'The most frightening thing that ever happened to me was Keith Moon decided he liked me.' - JoeWalsh
	11:16am Son Of Pantz: Sounds like he's describing "Jingle Dell" from Wild At Heart.
	11:16am Ike: Thanks @Buddha. I wish I could identify the source. It's a mysterious GIF of unknown provenance.
	11:17am fred: @Ike: your endorsement of segway is a downer. Than again, it's still 2020
	👻 11:19am Threemoons: I had Pong! Tel-Star!
	👻 11:19am Marley P. Dogg: This song is pretty
	11:20am Ike: @fred, fear not, I don't believe I actually endorsed "segway" as a valid spelling if you read my comment carefully. At least I hope I didn't. OTOH, I hadn't had a cup of tea yet when I typed that, so....
	11:21am listener monica: hello!
	11:23am fred: @Ike: there might have been some leg-pulling component in my earlier comment
	👻 11:24am Ken From Hyde Park: Homer Simpson: "Kids, there's three ways to do things. The right way, the wrong way and the Max Power way!" Bart: "Isn't that the wrong way?" Homer: "Yeah, but faster!"
	11:25am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Has a Segway pulled you leg ?? A new law has determined you may be eligible for cash rewards! Call 1-800...
	11:25am Handy Haversack: Max Power! He has the name that you want to touch!
	11:27am WR: Thank you Joe McG for the sounds and for helping the WFMU thing to keep going. Going stream & archive hopping. Laters.
	11:27am Ike: Is yelling about NES games the middle-aged equivalent to "Old Man Yells at Cloud"?
	11:28am fred: @Ike: it might be
	11:29am Son Of Pantz: "In my day the joystick only had one button, and we were fortunate to have it!"
	11:29am fred: What is NES?
	11:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...DeathWishCoffee is a sleek black kitty curled up in yer mug wants tuh git inside ya & become a panther struttin' the jungles uh yer brain...
	👻 11:30am Brian in UK: Apologies if this Segway tidbit has already been aired. www.bbc.co.uk...

	👻 11:32am Brian in UK: Three CD Christmas A Hard Days Night The Beatles Lucinda William's new one Willy Vlautin reading his short story The Kill Switch. Happy days.
	11:33am Hubig Pie: Show has seg-wade from bleery eyed and groovy to downbeat and dreamy
	11:37am Joe McG: @Hubig: I contain multitudes, just like Bob Dylan. :)
	11:37am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Whitman & Bob - Geminis.
	11:39am TDK60: Interesting that Ana R. -bass guitarist? And that sort of coda at the end, a field recording?
	11:39am Handy Haversack: Ahhh, Nico. It is hard to conceive that Nico and 2020 can exist in the same universe.
	11:39am NikiA: wow Nico sounds exactly like Sabina Sciubba, lead singer of Brazilian Girls
	11:39am Ike: @Fred: A great way to waste time in the late 80s and early 90s because I didn't know how to talk to girls and there were no good concerts near me.
	11:40am Joe McG: @Handy: Well, at least we have this year-end perennial! @NikiA: Or vice versa! ;)
	11:40am Michele with One "L": This is amazing! Is it in the library?
	👻 11:40am Threemoons: NICO. I need to pull up this entire album at some point and give it a full listen.
	11:41am Joe McG: @Michele: Yes! Very good bootleg of unreleased items.
	11:41am fred: @Ike: concerts? I faintly remember such things
	11:43am NikiA: wow Joe McG, Nico sounds so modern I thought she was contemporary. You're right! Sabina sound like her.
	11:44am John in Phoenixville: @ Joe McG So nice to hear a little Julie London! She’s one of my faves. Enjoyed Nico too. Forgot that I have that LP.
	👻 11:45am Marley P. Dogg: Joe, thank you for a great show and a great year of shows! Happy new year to you and all of the skeleton crew!

	11:54am Dennis Diken: Keely definitely not singing this to Louis, they'd split by this point, methinks. wasn't she dating Frank S around this time?
	11:55am radioronan: Thanks Joe - Glad I'm not in meetings this morning to thank you proper at year's end.thanks skeletons!

	11:58am Mike in S. Jersey: Mike W --- My parents took me to see Keely at the D.I. in the Eighties. Very memorable. She talked a lot about how Sonny & Cher stole the act she had with Louis. I am embarrassed at how many times I passed by the places where Sam Butera was playing, or the Treniers. Oh, well.
	11:59am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oof - we're in transition people. We got FMU. It's good.
	11:59am Ike: Thanks Joe.

	9:07am Marc Francis: Howdy Joe!
	9:08am Joe McG: Welcome to the show, everybody! Hope your Monday is off to a good start. Last Monday of 2020. So sad to see it go, ha ha.

	9:08am Handy Haversack: Staycation here, too, but we're gonna get out on the ferries today. Cross a couple of rivers. HyperDose, I saw someone describe Raised by Wolves as like Game of Thrones on a ton of coke, which seemed fairly reasonable!
	9:08am Sigurður: May love be in everybody's day 💖
	9:09am morphe': A Sam Cooke related theme day????? A B-Day or a related death day????
	9:09am Clay Pigeon: Sounding great Joe! Miss you my friend.

	👻 9:19am Webhamster Henry: I was waiting for Sammy to show up!
	9:21am morphe': Handy - as I mentined - one of my major grievances about Madrid (not a pet peeve) major grievance is the lack of water .. SI Ferry is a rouyine for me .. the former Free Home Depot weekend ferry is no longer free ... in fine weather ..the ferry to something beach NJ is great - may be that no doggies on the beach ???? no beer ... hitched into the town and had to hide the beer on the beach....
	9:22am Handy Haversack: The nice thing is you can have beers on the ferries here, morph! Over Tgiving week, we met friends at DUMBO and rode to Wall St. and then Rockaway and back on the ferries. Brought the dog and beers and had a fine time.
	9:23am TDK60: Morphe, someday after the plague, we'll take a Staten Island Ferry ride, just for the breezes.
	9:23am dave wuz here: i'ma fella loves some Ella
	9:23am Marc Francis: I love when Boxing Day falls on a Saturday and we get the Monday off and Joe plays great music. Hell's yeah I do.
	9:24am Dennis Diken: good morning Joe and all! it was a genius move to pair Sammy with Sam & the Witnesses!
	9:25am Joe McG: @Dennis: I agree! I wish the LP got a bit wilder, but it's quality all the way!
	9:25am Mike W: I have that Sammy & Sam record — what’s the back say? “The city — Vegas. The time — 2am. The mood — swings.”
	👻 9:25am YETI BOB: @morphe' are you hiding morse code in your messages? - - .. .. ... .. - ... .... ;)
	9:26am Joe McG: @Mike W: Actually "Four in the morn"!
	9:27am Mike W: FOUR IN THE MORN what kinda world When I got to interview Keely Smith in the early 2000s she had some storrrrries
	9:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ella - technique, power, tone, inventiveness - sheer delight in what she's doing. Lyrics schmyrics.
	9:28am Mike W: Gonna try to make the opening to this Ray Charles jam the attitude i bring to everything in life
	9:28am HyperDose: I remember tall boys and hot dogs in Hoboken. Good times
	9:29am Mike in S. Jersey: FYI, Carol Kaye on bass here w/ Ray (thumbs up emoji)
	9:29am JtotheK: Wonderful set, Joe! Hi everyone.
	9:30am morphe': Handy I only drink in public, but never new the ferries were covered by Maritime Law until I saw a soulmate with an open Bev ... he explained... Fantastic like the women says on Clay''s show
	9:30am Joe McG: That Ray Charles record gives me chills on my arms every time I play it.
	9:30am Mike in S. Jersey: Mike W --- How can one hear your interview w/ Keely Smith?
	9:31am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...KeelySmith stories !!
	9:32am JtotheK: I also like the Nick Ashford “I Don’t Need No Doctor” 45 on Verve.
	👻 9:32am waters7: Love you, Joe!
	9:32am Doug in JC: You can drink on trains too, as long as the railroad allows it.
	👻 9:32am Brian in UK: Hey Joe.
	9:32am Dennis Diken: Had the pleasure of working with Sonny Charles from Checkmates Ltd a few years ago. a class act! Mike Shelley did a cool interview with him a few months back, worth checking on the archives
	9:33am Joe McG: Same to you, waters7! @JtotheK: Haven't heard, need to!
	9:33am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: HumblePie Dr. ...DeathWish Coffee ! Can't wait to wake up now...
	9:33am Mike in S. Jersey: I tried drinking a beer on my commute home on the LIRR a couple of times. Made it even more depressing :(
	9:34am Pedro in Arlington: You are killing it, Joe. Maybe Ray's greatest track and not even on Atlantic.
	9:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Anita !
	9:36am JtotheK: Joe I didn’t know of the Nick Ashford until a buddy spun it out - and then I learned it was before the Ray Charles and was written by Ashford. (Brief Internet research confirms.)
	👻 9:37am LW Rhino: Hey pass me that basketball !
	9:38am Crei6hton: Morning WFMU!
	9:39am Handy Haversack: I don't get on LIRR or Metro North without a beer.
	9:39am P-90: Now Anita, this is going well. And whatever one can say about 2020, at least it did contain another year of Surface Noise. Thanks DJ Joe McG, and also for collaborating on that primo Christmas edition of SBB on Friday.
	9:40am Dennis Diken: @Mike W - indeed, would love to hear the Keely lore! and - this is a good read: High Times, Hard Times by Anita O'Day
	9:40am Tim 07030: Anita O'Day was introdiced to heroin by a guy named Harry the Hipster. Stay away from hipsters, people! And Happy Holidays to you, Joe!
	9:41am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Beer is proof gawd is tired of us & wants us to travel elsewhere.
	9:42am Stillwell Coney Islander: Anitas are the bomb !
	9:46am Mike W: @Mike in S. Jersey (and others) — unfortunately it was for a print publication who didn’t believe in the internet until it had been buried by it (Time Out NY). If I knew where the tape was... I had seen Keely with Sam and the Witnesses at the Desert Inn c. 1994, she had an arm in a sling (she’d slipped on some ice) and the band was SO sharp. Got on the phone with her six or seven years later and it was a long string of Louis’s cruelties and indiscretions, with her sighing and half-pardoning him as she went along (“that was the way it was then” and so forth). Thank you Dennis for that Anita O’Day recommendation!
	9:48am P-90: The Ice House is a classic joint, it’s still in biz, though closed now for the duration of the public health issue.
	9:48am Mike W: Keely’s Irving Plaza show (pretty sure it was there) was great, such a presence, she’d clearly learned from (and perhaps knew all along) how to run a room
	👻 9:48am Hughie Considine: The Khru would seem to be a great fit for this kind of thing...
	9:49am Joe McG: Wow, the Ice House is still there! That's fabulous. @Mike W: Might play some Keely later, I brought some!
	9:51am Joe McG: @P-90: Thanks for the kind words! @Mike: You've interviewed the great Keely, what a lucky person you are. @Dennis: I have a few 78s by Harry The Hipster Gibson! Didn't know he was a junkie.
	10:00am Dennis Diken: @Mike W - please find that tape!
	10:02am Mike W: the records I have with this “Slipping into Darkness” credit Carl Bradney, wonder why the name is changed... I was so lucky to get on a phone with Keely and I told her that first thing! She was just plain generous with the storytelling. Later I got the same feeling while interviewing Bert Jansch — he had a new album and tour and probably didn’t much feel like talking to anyone about that or anything (friendly but very soft-spoken), yet he indulged me and talked ramblingly about touring around the UK in the 1960s with Anne Briggs et al. jesus i have been lucky, haven't i [touches wood furniture, kisses dog, presses onward]
	10:02am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: So glad never had the delusion I was stronger than addictive & powerful drugs. Being slight & knowing it may have saved me.
	10:03am Mike W: @Revolution Rabbit i have smoked so much hobbit leaf this year and i frequently think about how i never tried hard/addictive drugs and am so much less the worse because of it
	10:04am Handy Haversack: Dog kissing is addictive, though. I just indulged also.
	10:04am Mike W: i guess i have sipped at a wine bladder and did not feel a need for more wine the next day, sometimes
	10:06am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Jansch too! Nov.3rd like me... Not to say I haven't been stoopid with drugs & I am caffeine's bitch - &tc. ... The 1st victim of Prohibitions is Truth - & not even having information.
	10:13am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Of course it's hard to turn away something that takes away pain & anxiety.
	10:15am Son Of Pantz: What a great song. I've never heard of Freedom Affair.
	10:18am Joe McG: @pantz: Their album from a few months ago is pretty good! Colemine put out a lot of good records this year.
	10:19am Hubig Pie: Bleery eyed and groovy
	10:21am Son Of Pantz: I'll have to check them out...after your show, of course.
	👻 10:23am Marley P. Dogg: Joe McG - my copy of Stardrive is supposed to arrive today!
	10:25am Joe McG: @Marley: Excellent!
	10:25am Handy Haversack: Rev Rab (@10:13), hence the dog kissing!
	10:25am hhaha: nice one, groovy , I took the rush of caffeine,,, And now it is a good day!
	10:27am Steve from Dunwoody: Freedom Is Freeform!
	10:28am Stanley: Baby You're a Jive Cat. What a great song title.
	10:28am Bobby: Thank you for the Joe Bisso! That was the funky spice that was missing from my morning gumbo. Damn!!!
	10:31am Handy Haversack: I checked with one of the local cats, and her jive status remains indeterminate.
	10:31am morphe': The Reagge made me think of the lovely Mongolian/Turkestan??? film about the soldier, camels, marriage and the crazy driver playing Rivers of Babylon .. THE TITLE ANYONE???? Early song DOCTOR - Made me thinking of NIGHT NURSE missing my Maribel - 3,000 mile away in NYC
	10:32am Hubig Pie: Cow Bell!
	👻 10:32am Threemoons: Just came off of an insipid "training" Zoom for my gig. So glad you are all here to help me keep my sanity...
	👻 10:32am Ken From Hyde Park: 🤘 Leslie West, RIP 🤘
	10:32am Son Of Pantz: I know what he means!
	10:33am paul: Remember the scene from Vanishing Point?
	10:34am JG: Love that big Mountain riff
	10:34am Roberto: Regular Show's take: www.youtube.com...
	👻 10:35am Brian in UK: Ah two fey Englishmen.
	10:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TheWho let LeslieWest onstage with them to play Lead. That speaks VOLUME(s).
	10:35am TDK60: Revrab, up to 11 volumes.
	10:36am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: C&J this affected Pop - but the standards were high.
	10:37am Mike W: how do i go for a dogwalk when this opening jangle hits the air
	10:37am Jason from Houston: ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡
	10:37am ami ad: Hello DJ. Hello all. Top of the morning.
	10:38am adampsyche: hi Joe thank you for the show and I remember you playing this song a few years ago and it was lovely
	10:39am Joe McG: Thanks, adam! Hi, ami!
	10:39am WR: morphe @10:31, hope someone answers with the name of that movie. Sounds like something I'd like to see as a new year cones around.
	10:40am adampsyche: www.wfmu.org... I have that bookmarked under "lower your blood pressure"
	👻 10:41am Brian in UK: Wacky World Pacific releases.
	10:41am Joe McG: Oh yeah, that was my birthday show! That was fun.
	👻 10:42am Webhamster Henry: Rock that electric sitar!
	10:43am WR: @Mike W @10:37, I've realized that my dumb phone is best used as mobile WFMU listening device. No need to miss a note just because have to go run some errands.
	10:43am Neil M: Holy smokes! Shocking Blue. I've been playing them like crazy lately. Many good deep cuts! Thanks Joe. Great as always.
	10:43am Son Of Pantz: Don't make love on hot sand. It comes with many complications.
	10:45am Joe McG: Ha ha! Itchy scratchy!
	10:45am TDK60: Alreet, a tough Animal track. (Don't mention that other band.)
	10:45am Mister Dobalina: I like this song!
	10:45am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Remember The Animals !
	10:46am John W: Happy New Year Joe! Thanks for the music that made this year less unbearable.
	10:46am Joe McG: Tough is right. This is such a tough record!
	10:46am Joe McG: Many thanks, John, so happy I could be here.
	10:49am John W: And now time for some ak-shone!
	10:49am Roberto: Who doesn't want some ack-shawn?
	10:49am Stanley: Yous killin i't with this. Acshon!
	10:50am Son Of Pantz: "Couples only skate!"
	10:50am Joe McG: You won't hear a better segueway on this show from the Animals to Alicia B.
	10:50am Roberto: Ha! Apparently it's open to multiple interpretations.
	10:51am Roberto: Joe, you do realize that would be pronounced "seg-way-way," right?
	10:52am Handy Haversack: Hey, ami ad. How goes?
	10:52am Oslo coffee: Ack! Sean?
	10:52am Joe McG: @Roberto: Seggievay.
	10:53am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: That's when you don't even let yer transpo walk for itself ...& a beer for that lovely robot right there...
	10:54am Ike: Hi folks! @Roberto, I was just thinking that. At some point, "segue" went from being misspelled "segway" to "segueway", at least here at FMU. It's definitely a strange word. Apparently it comes from Italian: www.merriam-webster.com...
	10:54am Roberto: Oy segvay.
	10:54am TDK60: I'm puzzled; I never hear the seque. (And once I got asked to leave a music store when I asked if they carried continuos.)
	10:55am Ike: Oooo, a new spelling! Love it!
	10:55am Mister Dobalina: I hear many samples of hip-hop music.
	10:55am zopa: right on, Joe. right on.
	👻 10:55am Ken From Hyde Park: I always thought it was "segweigh."
	10:56am Joe McG: Smooooooooth transitions are FMU's specialty.
	10:56am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: A total non-segueitor.
	👻 10:57am Threemoons: RIGHT ON! (fighting the power by slacking at my temporary shit gig one cup of coffee at a time). I wish that herb was legal in NY because I sure could use some right now. And yeah, I could get a medical card but it goes on your New York State ID and I don't want to deal just yet...
	10:57am BillD: Good morning . Never knew The Animals did such a great version of Inside Looking Out. Grand Funk Railroad be damned!
	10:58am ami ad: Handy Haversack: Hi. How do? All's well(?), sitting in the chair here. Probably gonna segway to the sofa later.
	11:00am Joe McG: Hope you're all doing your do.
	11:00am Handy Haversack: The days are packed, ami ad! We're going to take the ferry later, and standards are so lowered that it feels like a major expedition!
	11:00am The Butterman: That trumpeter is going to get fined!

	👻 11:19am Marley P. Dogg: This song is pretty
	11:20am Ike: @fred, fear not, I don't believe I actually endorsed "segway" as a valid spelling if you read my comment carefully. At least I hope I didn't. OTOH, I hadn't had a cup of tea yet when I typed that, so....
	11:21am listener monica: hello!
	11:23am fred: @Ike: there might have been some leg-pulling component in my earlier comment

	11:39am NikiA: wow Nico sounds exactly like Sabina Sciubba, lead singer of Brazilian Girls
	11:39am Ike: @Fred: A great way to waste time in the late 80s and early 90s because I didn't know how to talk to girls and there were no good concerts near me.

	11:58am Mike in S. Jersey: Mike W --- My parents took me to see Keely at the D.I. in the Eighties. Very memorable. She talked a lot about how Sonny & Cher stole the act she had with Louis. I am embarrassed at how many times I passed by the places where Sam Butera was playing, or the Treniers. Oh, well.
