Listener comments!

Sat. 10/10/09 6:18am From: Sue

Good morning! How's it going?

Sat. 10/10/09 6:20am From: Joe

Hey, Sue! How does this song sound on your computer? I'm only getting one channel in the studio.

Sat. 10/10/09 6:24am From: Sue

Sounds ok to me I guess. Maybe this is a stupid question, but what do you mean by one channel? That's not where it comes from just one side and not the other, is it?

Sat. 10/10/09 6:26am From: Joe

Yes, exactly! On the Szabo record, I was just getting left channel in here. Maybe just a bum LP.

Sat. 10/10/09 6:28am From: Sue

Woah, is this the original Golden Earrings? Was Gandalf covering this song?

Sat. 10/10/09 6:29am From: Jack

Joe, sounds good to me too; good stereo signal. Hey, man, I've been really digging your show, and I'm glad you're on the new schedule... but 3AM!?! Damn, don't know if'n I can do that; might have to rely on the archives.

Sat. 10/10/09 6:29am From: Joe

Yup! Peggy Lee had the first big hit with it in the 40s. Gandalf really made it their own, though!

Sat. 10/10/09 6:30am From: Joe

Thanks, Jack! Yeah, it's a little bit of a switch, but I'm happy to hear that you'll check out the archives. I've been having a blast on Saturday mornings and expect it to continue during the graveyard shift!

Sat. 10/10/09 6:34am From: Jack

You always play such a great mix of music; great stuff! I'm glad Jeff's getting his old time slot back ( I've missed him ) but I'm going to miss you on Saturday (later) morning.

Sat. 10/10/09 6:38am From: Joe

Gee, thanks, Jack!

Sat. 10/10/09 6:39am From: Sue

I just heard the Koobas song "Gypsy Fred" the other day. Would have fit perfectly in your gypsy set this week. You did a short gypsy set last week, didn't you? I didn't realize there were so many songs about gypsies!

Sat. 10/10/09 6:42am From: Joe

Ack! What a good idea that would've been! Yes, I guess I've been into gypsy songs lately. Maybe more next week, including the Koobas!

Sat. 10/10/09 6:50am From: Sue

Cool, you can start your new time slot with another little gypsy set! Congratulations on your new show next week! Hopefully the time isn't too rough for you.

Sat. 10/10/09 6:52am From: Joe

Thanks, Sue! I guess like everything else a person can get used to it. I love doing this, so I don't mind so much when!

Sat. 10/10/09 6:57am From: Sue

Hey, a festive song in honor of the holiday! :) When you mentioned a Columbus day set last week, I thought you were joking! You have a song for every occasion, don't you?

Sat. 10/10/09 7:41am From: Ogden Peepee

I could really go for some Eskimo music right about now...

Sat. 10/10/09 8:02am From: Scott

Alex Chilton produced "Can't Hardly Wait"? That'll come as news to the late Jim Dickinson, who actually produced it. Otherwise, great show as always!

Sat. 10/10/09 8:08am From: Joe

I believe Alex produced an earlier version that came out as a bonus track on the reissue. Am I wrong about that?

Sat. 10/10/09 8:22am From: Mike Sin

I think there might be four versions of "Can't Hardly Wait" floating around as part of the official catalog now -- I can't keep up. Wasn't Chilton supposed tp produce "Tim", but left the project or some such?

Sat. 10/10/09 8:23am From: Joe

Hey, Mike! Looking forward to your fill-in later today! Yep, I believe he did actually produce about 4 tracks, but then he either left or got the boot. I don't know the full story.
