You're breaking my heart now Annie..

Thu. 1/1/09 10:50am From: SmokinJ

I should have opted for the potato pancakes yesterday at the fish fry but stupidly I went for the french fries :(

Thu. 1/1/09 10:51am From: SmokinJ

But don't get me wrong, they rocked!

Thu. 1/1/09 10:54am From: annie

Thu. 1/1/09 10:56am From: annie

funny song!!! great song..

Thu. 1/1/09 10:56am From: Meghan

Hey Joe! Do we have that Fujiya and Miyagi record at the station? Was looking for it. My brother played me that song and it was strangely addictive.

Thu. 1/1/09 10:57am From: SmokinJ

Two cup french press? A pot of coffee is 10 cups or so. Drank one this morning:) Coffee is one of those staples of life..

Thu. 1/1/09 10:58am From: annie

i limit myself to two cups... so the second pot is an extravagence. i use espresso blrnd and make it strong.. love the kick!

Thu. 1/1/09 11:00am From: SmokinJ

I admire your self control..

Thu. 1/1/09 11:01am From: annie

Thu. 1/1/09 11:02am From: Joe

Hey, Meghan! I brought the F&M from home. Check the basement?

Thu. 1/1/09 11:03am From: SmokinJ

I heard that! I don't drink it late in the day. BTW nice groove Joe!

Thu. 1/1/09 11:04am From: Meghan

hmmmm will have to. The dangers of the basement.... it's only 2008 too! I'll bug Brian about it too. Replace it with some Sun Ra...

Thu. 1/1/09 11:21am From: matt

Thu. 1/1/09 11:21am From: annie

Thu. 1/1/09 11:22am From: Joe

A nice prayer for the new year, I think...

morning trouble....

Thu. 1/1/09 11:27am From: Joe

Thanks, Trouble! I'm having a great time. Happy New Year!!

Thu. 1/1/09 11:28am From: Parq

Joe, joining you for the seventh reel. So nice to find you on my radio on this cold yet welcomingly bright AM. (Foxfire spellcheck says "welcomingly" isn't a word, but what do they know?) Chock Fulla Nuts is steeping, and I'm digging the quiet sounds, thought it looks like I missed some pretty killer upbeat stuff. Ho there to Annie, Smokin, all the gang.

Thu. 1/1/09 11:29am From: annie

word up parq, HNY!!!

Thu. 1/1/09 11:30am From: SmokinJ

Happy New Year Parq! Peace.

Thu. 1/1/09 11:31am From: Matt

Nice show, Joe.
I'm pissed that you scooped out the Bill Parker TNKs cover, but what does a feller expect? I thought I had a private, secret relationship with that track! What's the story behind that Nathan Bell cut?

Thu. 1/1/09 11:32am From: Joe

Hey, Parq, thanks for the swell words. Hope the coffee gets you off to a good start! Matt, I love that version of TNK!! The Nathan Bell is from a new EP, looks self-released. It's straight-up great.

Thu. 1/1/09 11:42am From: monica

hey joe,
lovely way to start off the year hearing you on ye olde radio.

Thu. 1/1/09 11:42am From: Joe

Why, shucks, Monica, thanks!!

Thu. 1/1/09 11:52am From: jeff m

great show Joe, happy new years

Thu. 1/1/09 11:53am From: lupica

Allow me to join Monica's chorus: great show, Joe!

Thu. 1/1/09 11:55am From: annie

joe , it's been wonderful.. just great.. thanks.. have a great weekend..

Thu. 1/1/09 11:55am From: ken in denver

Happy new year, Joe,

First time listener to your show, but I'll be watching for you after this. Great version of Tomorrow Never Knows!

Thu. 1/1/09 11:55am From: Joe

Thanks, Jeff! Thanks, Mike! Happy New Year to both of you!!

Thu. 1/1/09 11:56am From: Joe

Thanks, Ken in Denver!
