obsoleteword.blogspot.com/
  Sun. 1/15/12 12:46am Joe McG:

@MK: Ooh, let's hear some superlatives!
  Sun. 1/15/12 12:46am Destroit:

Good on ya Joe, plaster this thing Brit style.
  Sun. 1/15/12 12:48am Marmalade kitty:

..not that the superlatives would be obsolete!
  Sun. 1/15/12 12:50am Destroit:

  Sun. 1/15/12 1:03am BSI:

Good grief. I should not be still awake. But yet, strangely....
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:05am G:

sleep is for those who can't handle being awake
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:06am G:

"rooty poots"???
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:06am BSI:

Didn't the great philosopher Shannon Selberg once say "Sleep is for animals and children..."? ... I cannot argue.
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:08am borg:

this makes my day!
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:08am Destroit:

@G: +5
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:08am G:

asked, and answered.
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:09am Matt from Springfield:

Wow, and what a Black Pope he is too!
Joe Joe Joe Joe JOE!!! So glad to hear you again, it's been a few weeks for me!
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:11am G:

urbandictionary.com:

rudy poot

someone who is more or less a wannabe, poser, loser, or something to that effect.
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:11am Joe McG:

@Matt: Hey, Matt, welcome back! I'm not fit to hold the Black Pope's coattails. I'm just another rudi poot!
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:12am Matt from Springfield:

@G: A "rude boy" who "poots out", I guess!
@Joe: Happy birthday!! Playing any presents tonight? :)
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:13am Mike Sin:

Happy birthday, Joe McG! My prediction: "16 Candles" by the Crests during the "Single file" segment... OK, not really.
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:15am Joe McG:

@Matt: Yeah, the Big Bill was my present to myself! @Mike Sin: Thanks for the wishes! I wish I HAD that record. I would totally play it. Actually, there IS one that is sort of a birthday song. Let me know if you can pick it out.
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:18am Matt from Springfield:

Hi Mike Sin!
I didn't catch your fill-in last week (Saturday afternoons are difficult for me to catch live), but thank you for sending the email. I like when I get a *blip* that there's a cool show added to the Archive box!
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:18am miss cheri:

joe i really hate to pry,,(you don't have to answer if you don't want to) but how old are you? i'm 30
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:19am T-Zero:

Morning! Just woke up in time for Rainy Night... Nice!
Happy belated b-day JoeMcG
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:19am Destroit:

Cheers to Sin & Matt. Keep going with birthday soul
Joe.
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:19am G:

old enough to know better :-P
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:19am miss cheri:

on that note i must say night!!!!!!
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:19am Joe McG:

Hey, Taters! Hey, T-Zero! Thanks!
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:20am Matt from Springfield:

If you don't want to post publicly that's OK Joe.
(But, I had my own guess! It would be fun if you DID share!)
;)
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:21am Joe McG:

I'm as old as you want me to be and as young as the season.
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:23am Marmalade kitty:

we know how old we are but do we know how young we are?
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:24am Marmalade kitty:

yes Joe!
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:25am Joe McG:

Are we as old as we think we are or as young as we wish? (groan)
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:25am Matt from Springfield:

"Old" and "young" are in the eye of the beholder, Kitty!
It really depends who we're around, a relative thing! And age is really just counting throughout your life...
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:27am G:

it's all so clear now!!!!!!
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:27am Mike Sin:

@Matt, Destroit -- Well, hello, and thanks!

Joe McG's age? I'll give you a hint. He has never owned a razor and he's always givin' me money to buy him six-packs from the liquor store.
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:29am Matt from Springfield:

@Mike: Well, that's very telling. At this rate, maybe DJ Keili will soon be able to take over that duty! :D
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:30am Matt from Springfield:

Yes Joe, Light In The Attic, or Rhino reissue, someone needs to reissue these!
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:31am Marmalade kitty:

Hiya Matt, Mike!
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:34am Matt from Springfield:

Always nice to see you, dear Kitty!
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:36am Joe McG:

@Mike Sin: Hey, Mike, by the way, I could really use a beer. If I give you a few bucks....?
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:36am Holly in NC:

had to rouse to comment - 1 of the best songs EVER!
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:38am Joe McG:

@Holly: The part at the end is my favorite! YEAH YEAH!
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:38am Destroit:

Heroin influenced birthday songs are always welcomed! It should be a staple.
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:38am Matt from Springfield:

"Slow Death" is kind of ahead of its time, with that rhythm and subject matter, I would have guessed it was from later in the 70s.
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:39am Matt from Springfield:

Probably because they were influenced by Lou Reed (my other guess!)
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:41am Matt from Springfield:

Hey another "I Walk The Line" single! Joe, you once mentioned you probably have enough IWTL covers to do a whole Single File with--when oh when can we expect that to happen??!
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:41am Joe McG:

@Matt: Gotta make sure I have enough of them, but maybe I will do that one of these days!
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:43am Matt from Springfield:

That would be great if you can pull that off!
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:44am Mike Sin:

Well hello MarmaKit!
Interesting bit about "Slow Death" -- Wilson joins band, Slow Death is his first appearance (1972), and then the band essentially disappears for four years....
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:47am Matt from Springfield:

Whoa, garage-y psychedelia Tim Hardin song!
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:48am Joe McG:

@Mike Sin: Hey, Mike, do you know anything about these guys? They sound Japanese to me or something.
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:49am Destroit:

Good stuff Joe,
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:51am Joe McG:

@Destroit: Glad you're diggin' it.
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:56am Matt from Springfield:

Sock it to me!
My dad said that when he was a kid, he actually knew 3 sisters, all named: Faith, Hope and Charity!
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:57am Joe McG:

@Matt: That's so cool! I wonder if they ever socked it to him!
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:58am Mike Sin:

@Joe McG - the Look? Outta NYC on the same label as Tim Hardin...
  Sun. 1/15/12 1:59am Destroit:

It's hard not to dig it. HBD Joe, keep it up and three cheers to fmu
  Sun. 1/15/12 2:00am Joe McG:

@Mike Sin: Really? Was the vocalist from Argentina or something? He sounds like he's pronouncing some of the words oddly.
  Sun. 1/15/12 2:02am Matt from Springfield:

@Joe: Maybe if they were the daughters of a preacher man...

Only the "disco version" of this for me, please!
  Sun. 1/15/12 2:03am Mike Sin:

Dunno too much about the band. I'm *fairly* sure it was recorded in NYC.
  Sun. 1/15/12 2:12am 12539:

Joe/Mike, YouTube post says of The Look:
...former "Country Gentlemen". A precursor to Barnaby Bye. This early work performed by Bobby Alessi, Billy Alessi, Donny Droege and on drums, Mr. Bob Pellicane. Maybe my first experience with a Long Island band.
http://tinyurl.com/6mmxcoe
  Sun. 1/15/12 2:16am Matt from Springfield:

Oh, GREAT Bobby Bare one! I believe this is another Shel Silverstein classic he sang.
  Sun. 1/15/12 2:17am Joe McG:

@12539: Wow, thanks! So they were from Long island! No wonder they had funny accents! (just kidding all you folks from Strong Island)
  Sun. 1/15/12 2:23am Marmalade kitty:

Great show! Have a wonderful Birthday week Joe! See you all next time!
  Sun. 1/15/12 2:23am Joe McG:

Thanks, Marmalade Kitty! Have a great week!
  Sun. 1/15/12 2:25am Matt from Springfield:

ANOTHER Jeannie C. Riley song! Yes!

Later Kitty! Have a good day!
  Sun. 1/15/12 2:27am Joe McG:

I loves me some Jeannie C. Riley.
  Sun. 1/15/12 2:33am Matt from Springfield:

And EVIE SANDS! Not to mention Bobbie and good ol' Tanya! Every item an A+ this set!
  Sun. 1/15/12 2:33am Brian in UK:

Happy Birthday Joe. Hello folks.
  Sun. 1/15/12 2:35am Joe McG:

Hey, Brian! Thanks for the kind wishes. Party is winding down, but there are still a few favors left for latecomers!
  Sun. 1/15/12 2:36am Brian in UK:

Joe, looks like it started funky, have you heard boys & girls from Brooklyn? Modern old skool.
http://www.myspace.com/pimpsofjoytime
  Sun. 1/15/12 2:38am Joe McG:

@Brian: No, but I'll check 'em out, thanks! Brooklyn, thanks to Desco/Daptone, has become something of a new funk center in the U.S. of A.
  Sun. 1/15/12 2:49am Matt from Springfield:

Like this Badge, first time hearing them for me.
  Sun. 1/15/12 2:50am Joe McG:

Check this out, Matt: http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2011/01/blogpost-29.html
