Joe McG:

@Matt: Check out "The Who Sell Out," I think you'll like that one!
  1:25am
Julie:

oooh I like this
  1:25am
Matt from Springfield:

I like what I've heard from "The Who Sell Out", but never listened to that beginning-to-end. Something I should do!

Also a nice French song to bring in December, as it's about "neige" (snow).
  1:26am
Matt from Springfield:

Another good French folk one! Nice to hear Pierre Seguer.
  1:28am
Frances:

Hey Matt, my fellow Virginian!
I could listen to French music all night. Was lucky to see some (Arch Woodman , and My Lazy Jazz) while in Paris last May.
  1:31am
Matt from Springfield:

Hey Frances!
Speakly of which, we're putting together a northern VA Meetup next week, but I don't suppose you'll be in the area then?
  1:33am
Matt from Springfield:

Proceed to file in single order, Joe!!
  1:34am
Frances:

My insomnia will pay off if there's more Only Ones played!
@Matt,sorry ,not sure when I'll next be in NoVa.my planned traintrip was cancelled due to Sandy
  1:37am
Matt from Springfield:

The goal is try to wrangle the 5 or so regular NoVA commenters together, and then next month set up a huger event for the whole DC area listening community, prob on U St. in DC.

Shucks, Frances, that's so nice.

Matt from Springfield:

@Frances: Once we get a Jan event I'll let you know!
@Joe: I'm thinking B-side. "Power To The People"?
  1:50am
Frances:

Should I admit that I carried this book w/me in 7th grade as a security blanket? http://www.amazon.com/John-Lennon-Personal-Biography-Seventies/dp/0394177541
Avatar ♥ 1:53am
Joe McG:

@Matt: Yep, b-side of "Imagine." @Frances: I used to keep a file of Lennon death clippings.
  1:57am
Matt from Springfield:

Oh wow, didn't know that was the "Imagine" B-side!
Go, Brother Percy Sledge! Excellent choice!
  2:00am
Frances:

@JoeMcG lucky for me,7th grade preceded the shooting. That happened when I was in highschool & I punched a guy in the stomach that day when he made a joke of it/made my friend cry. Shocking that a female would punch a guy back then ;)
  2:04am
Matt from Springfield:

@Frances: You have Punk in your veins! ;)
Defend the righteous, punish the assholes!

Joe McG:

Thanks, Julie!
  2:30am
KP:

Joe, the song is "Who Says There Ain't No Santa Claus." It was jokey '50s style RB. I've only heard it once, on WFMU. The other quote is the punchline.
  2:32am
Matt from Springfield:

Another Jeanie country singer! There's never too many, if they're good!

@Matt: You so right.

You likewise so right, to be playing Waylon singing Neil Diamond!

Catching up on archive. I'm not sure if you know (you didn't mention it in the first mic break), but Wakeman has actually been in South America in the last two weeks doing Journey shows, tied in to the new-and-improved re-release of Journey with tons of notes (132 pages, if I am remembering right) -- see Wakeman's site about all that --

Underappreciated is the late-90s "Return to the Centre of the Earth", with voiceover from Patrick Stewart and singing from Justin Hayward, Ozzy O., et al...
