To enjoy unemployment
  Sun. 1/1/12 12:52am Joe McG:

  Sun. 1/1/12 12:54am Julie:

happy new year joe!!!
  Sun. 1/1/12 12:54am Joe McG:

@abby: I'm going to try to replay music I really like more often. Sometimes I love a new CD that comes out, play it once, maybe twice, and then it goes away. I want to go back to the ones I really love this year. Do you think this makes for more boring listening?
  Sun. 1/1/12 12:55am Julie:

fxo kurt! happy new year!
  Sun. 1/1/12 12:56am Julie:

late happy new year Kitty!
  Sun. 1/1/12 12:56am Joe McG:

@Julie: Hey, yo! HNY to YOU!
  Sun. 1/1/12 12:57am Joe McG:

Is it too early 2000s for my resolution to be more cowbell?
  Sun. 1/1/12 12:58am Trey Monkeystasio:

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too early
  Sun. 1/1/12 12:58am T-Zero:

... and whistles, don't forget the whistles
  Sun. 1/1/12 12:58am Manolo:

smell like fireworks ! Opa!
  Sun. 1/1/12 12:58am Trey Monkeystasio:

the CD thing is good though. I think thats something that all FMU djs should adopt. Too many great songs on this station only get played once.
  Sun. 1/1/12 12:59am Trey Monkeystasio:

unless it's the Renegades
  Sun. 1/1/12 1:00am Holly in NC:

To make a decent living working *only* with or for people I like & respect.

That said, to make an honorable as well as decent living this evening, I must go swaddle & comfort a very, very unhappy puppy.

Will catch up on the archives, Joe - this show is great!!!!

Good night, all, and best wishes for 2012.
  Sun. 1/1/12 1:00am Muskegon Mel:

  Sun. 1/1/12 1:12am Trey Monkeystasio:

  Sun. 1/1/12 1:13am Looms:

Okay then... I approve Richard's request.
  Sun. 1/1/12 1:15am DJKurtG:

  Sun. 1/1/12 1:19am DJKurtG:

Everyone is happy about that, even some crazy italians came to a small village and built a bunker (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/20/world/americas/20xul.html?pagewanted=all) Then they realized the world is not going to end ... propably a mayan descend construction worker told them so they got stuck here and now they have kitsch italian restaurant in Merida (the main city) and they sing O Sole Mio every night.
