Ha ha! Hey, Matt, thanks for "checkin' in"!

  1:07am
Joe McG:

Wow, MO, thanks for the Clint ref. You're not going to get all misty on me, are you?

Joe McG:

Hey, Barry! Thanks mucho!
  1:19am
Matt from Springfield:

Davila: Seis-Seis-Seis! Love their Spanish garage sound, as well as the fact that a NON metal band is taking advantage of the 6-6-6 numeral, albight in the Spanish way!

Welcome to the Club, Barry!
  1:21am
Joe McG:

Now, Davila DID use this drum sample, did they not?
  1:32am
Matt from Springfield:

Spin of the wheel? That sounds fun. And different.
  1:35am
tomB:

As I am up at this hour drafting a final for my students, it warms the cockles of my heart to hear you promote the art of compare and contrast!
  1:37am
Joe McG:

Ha ha! More to come this evening as I tackle Daniel Blumin's covers CD. This program is edumacational!
  1:42am
tomB:

Hey I used to play this Apricot Brandy on KCCS leading into the news
  1:43am
Joe McG:

Always a good idea to have some apricot brandy before the news!
  1:52am
Matt from Springfield:

The Daylights--a forgotten Girl Group? A shame, they sound great!
  1:53am
Joe McG:

Actually, the A-side is even better: "Billy Is the Boy." I just felt like hearing the one about tears tonight.
  2:06am
Matt from Springfield:

Yay! You got the PSA book!

I'm going to make sure my corrupt co-workers don't see my personal info.
  2:07am
trent:

ahhh, the intoxicated blumin mic break, i'm crying because i'm so close yet so far away
  2:11am
Matt from Springfield:

@trent: I know, don't ya just love the "Daniel and Joe Show" every week :)

I SAW Echo and his Bunnymen at the 9:30 in DC! It was great! Brian also saw them in NY--found them enjoyable for the most part.
  2:18am
#K:

AHH SHUCKS I can't believe I missed you can hide your love forever!!!!!
  2:19am
Joe McG:

Hey, #K! Were you blipping this evening?
  2:22am
#K:

Actually I was seeing Real Estate at Maxwell's. It was a long journey but so so nice (tickets thanks to Liz B). Nice to hear you kids on FMU when I got back though!
  2:23am
Joe McG:

Ah yes, one of the nice things about Fridays: Leftover tickets for volunteers! How was they?
  2:25am
Matt from Springfield:

Compare...and CONTRAST!!
No clue whatsoever what the original would sound like--I admit The Rebel was super-creative in his choice of covers!
  2:26am
#K:

They were really nice & mellow & stuff. Really great vibes to be surrounded by sonic-ly. I'll see you tomorrow maybe??
  2:26am
Marmalade Kitty (Owl'd out):

how do you access the blips? I tried earlier on flash player but it just connected to the main wfmu broadcasts ?
  2:29am
Joe McG:

@Kitty: Unfortunately, I think the Blip Festival is over, Kitty. But it should be archived. @#K: I'm going to try to be there!
  2:37am
Marmalade Kitty (Owl'd out):

Lindisfarne!
Doors cover!!
:)
  2:39am
tomB:

I was expecting Helen Rush & band to be direct descendants of Merilee Rush & the Turnabouts, instead they are The Cowboy Junkies of the new millenium!
  2:41am
Joe McG:

Not so far off the mark there, tomB!
  2:42am
Matt from Springfield:

@Joe: Now, were the originals also paired back-to-back on Daniel's premium? I like the contrast in the differences from the originals versus the re-worked versions.
  2:44am
Joe McG:

No, Matt, I think Daniel's premium assumes that people know the songs, so it's just the covers.
  2:47am
Matt from Springfield:

You need to play the originals of the rest of them, then! Or else Daniel could do a "members only" show--he plays the originals, but you need to have his premium to know just what the covers are!
  2:51am
Joe McG:

I'd like to, but I'm almost out of time, Matt!
  2:51am
Matt from Springfield:

Wonderful Stevie.
  2:51am
Marmalade Kitty:

That would be the bonus premium, available for extra pledge points perhaps?
  2:58am
Marmalade Kitty:

enjoyed both of your shows, Dan, Joe! :) Have a great weekend!!
  3:00am
Joe McG:

Have a great weekend, everybody! Thanks for listening!
  3:01am
Matt from Springfield:

Good night Joe, Dan, everyone!
