Listener comments!
	3:13am Marmalade kitty: Good morning from UK!!
	3:14am DJ PB: Hey Kitty! Thanks for checking in!
	3:14am KP: nice wah.
	3:31am Tom From Back-In-The-Day: Just flipped you on in time to hear feedtime. So awesome, that show at Maxwells last April was a best of for sure
	3:34am Marmalade kitty: Bubble Rap sounds "post punk"..?
	3:41am Danne D: Go Paulie Go :) will be listening until I pass out. sounding good, man ps hi/bye all!
	3:42am DJ PB: @Danne Happy to be your guide to slumberland!
	3:49am Koto: That was very cool track. I liked it.
	3:52am DJ PB: Thanks, Koto!
	4:14am Koto: This one! The background music you are playing.
	4:22am DJ PB: @Koto That's a loop of the RZA from the Ghost Dog soundtrack.
	4:26am Thomas: Glad to see you reppin' that Per Purpose! great record
	4:28am KP: Excello, Paul
	4:30am Koto: Thanks! Is Ghost Dog a movie?
	4:37am DJ PB: @Koto It is indeed. www.imdb.com...
	4:37am DJ PB: @KP Thanks!
	4:49am Tom From Back-In-The-Day: The aggro of Metz......will leave it at that.
	5:22am Tom From Back-In-The-Day: Ty bummed me out. Tyvek picked me up. Please don't play Frank Ocean.
	5:23am DJ PB: @Tom That's pretty unlikely.
	5:23am Tom From Back-In-The-Day: Good.
	5:24am Tom From Back-In-The-Day: Once you go Metz......
	5:25am DJ PB: ...you don't go to the ocean?
	5:26am Marmalade kitty: loved that start/stop/start track! have to compile a playlist of best songs that stop/start
	5:28am Tom From Back-In-The-Day: I'm fairly certain you absorbed the 80'/90's of NY's last halcyon days. Metz to me is like the Walmart version of AmRep or Touch & Go.
	5:36am DJ PB: @Tom You're certainly not alone in that opinion. I like the record fine though. Hopefully White Lung is not also offending your sensibilities.
	5:37am Koto: Found it. It's "Samurai Showdown", isn't it? Thank you for the info. In the movie, a guy sprawl at rooftop with some pigeons around reminded me that I had seen it. I think I'll see that again.
	5:38am Tom From Back-In-The-Day: Paul, I've been around the block enough times to know that you are entitled to the right to be wrong.
	5:40am DJ PB: @Tom Fair enough. That being said, the Walmart version of AmRep doesn't necessarily sound like a bad thing to me.
	5:40am DJ PB: @Koto I'm about 90% that's the tune but I'd have to double check to be certain.
	5:44am Tom From Back-In-The-Day: Obviously. But I'm more of a Mom & Pop guy. Next thing I know your going to be playing the entire HoZac catalog. Damn your corporate ass!
	5:49am Koto: Now you are 100%! (^^) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYorWVrr63E
	5:53am Joe B: Warm Soda rising from the ashes of bare Wires!
	5:56am Tom From Back-In-The-Day: Nice, After that Ladyhawk track I was sure it was going to be either some Robert Pollard or Magnetic Fields guy crap.
	5:57am DJ PB: @Tom When Rayon Beach are on that new MTV reality show in West Virgina, feel to say I told you so. @Joe B Thanks for the tip! I'm going to check them out.
