Listener comments!

12:04pm bobdoesthings:

yo joe!

12:04pm V Priceless:

Hey Joe!

12:04pm Sem Chumbo:

Hiya, Joe!

12:07pm josh:

that young LP is so sick and i haven't seen many year-end lists that mention it

12:07pm Joe B:

Hey Bob, V, Sem! thanks for checking in!

Hi everyone, thanks for listening/commenting!

12:09pm Joe B:

I agree Josh, it surprisingly flew under the radar here as it seems Paul Bruno and myself were the only ones to play it

12:09pm bobdoesthings:

is king tuff actually marc bolan reincarnated?

12:09pm Cecile:

hola!

12:13pm SmokinJ:

Cheers all..

12:16pm Cecile:

this feels like Skip Spence and Syd Barrett jammed together.

12:20pm KP:

Purling Hiss impresses

12:22pm efd:

I pulled that Young album several times but never got to it for some reason. Does that count?

12:23pm Joe B:

it's the thought that counts!

12:25pm FernandoBelmondo:

Didn't tune in time for The Young. Now you're getting me curious.

👻

12:32pm Hoboken Jack:

Go, go, Joe!

12:38pm Toddophonic:

No such thing as Black Monday with the 3CM date switch! I have it under good authority that both Idzik and Ryan are rocking out to Flesh Lights right now!

12:45pm efd:

This Shonen Knife track is a 2014 highlight for sure!

12:50pm Chris:

Loving the live playlist, finding the tracks on iTunes, and having the day off so I can hear this!

👻

12:53pm Jeff from Rahway:

Joe,your year-end lists are indispensable. May I request something from the band Ultimate Painting? I'm digging their s/t album. Useless Eaters "Bleeding Moon" ("Simple Device" is my favorite track, BTW) is also a pretty decent record.

12:54pm Sem Chumbo:

Lovin' the round-up, Joe. Outasight:-D

12:58pm common:

joe!

1:00pm slocker:

Having a kick ass afternoon.
Still in PJs, "working from home", drinking a bloody mary and enjoying the Belock 2014 best-of recap.

1:01pm BOBBY THE W:

maharajas rekkid HAS to make the top! that thing is awesome!

1:04pm Joe B:

Jeff, sorry didnt see yr request until just now, I played a different track

1:08pm Sissophonic Cheryl:

This show is off the hook!

1:12pm Chris:

Slocker... You're living the life, bud!

1:13pm Frank Above:

Did Pollard write this track? It sounds like Lord Of Overstock.

1:14pm Toddophonic:

Lots of good stuff I haven't heard. I will be sure to play some of these cuts on my show and pretend I discovered them for myself.

👻

1:15pm Jeff from Rahway:

Todd, we all pretend we discover this stuff ourselves. Our lives would be dull and empty without Joe.

1:16pm Cecile:

Am I missing the jamz portion of the show. Boo hiss.

1:17pm Cecile:

man, that Ex Hex stuff is on par with the best of Shoes.

1:19pm Chris M.:

i was completely convinced that the Ex Hex track was Blondie and was surprised when i found out i was wrong.

1:20pm Joe B:

Todd, feel free, we have all done the same to you enough times over the years!

1:20pm Joe B:

Chris M, yes, I hear it!

1:21pm Miss V:

hello from the Lower East side!

1:26pm Cecile:

the GBV connection is honest. Petkevic played with them for a brief time. And the Golden Age of Glitter might be a nod to GBV playing BOC's Golden Age of Leather as their intro song.

1:28pm Joe B:

that's right Cecile, when he absorbed all of CV for Mag Earwhig or whatevrr it was called

1:29pm BOBBY THE W:

great tune, this quitty. go joey, go!

1:30pm Frank Above:

Great choice for single of the year, Joe!

1:32pm Joe B:

Hi to all who have checked in/tuned in since the last greeting! thanks, appreciate it

👻

1:32pm Jeff from Rahway:

The Real Kids still put on a fab live show.

1:34pm jack:

I'm Drunk !!!!!!!!!!! lol

1:35pm strangesongs:

Not sure if it was mentioned by Joe, but Pollard sings on a few of those Sweet Apple tracks as well.

1:36pm Figures of Light:

The Ar-Kaics are fantastic!

1:36pm Joe B:

thanks Strange, didn't know that. See what not having the physical product will do - no liner notes!

1:39pm Cecile:

Yeah, that Mag Earwig tour was great. Not so fun in terms of shenanigans, but the music was TIGHT.

1:40pm Cecile:

well, sounds like the bad blood between Petkevic and Pollard has settled. Pollard fired 'em all without notice. But he hired Doug Gillard back.

1:41pm Joe B:

the shenanigans got old for me quickly, same with the replacements

1:42pm Cecile:

Yeah. But unlike some people, I actually saw some tight Replacements shows that justified the hype. Same with GBV. And there were the other shows I don't remember so well.

1:44pm strangesongs:

WFMU connection -- DJ Dave Hill just did a show last week with Death of Samantha, Petkovich's other band (with CV/GBV cohort Doug Gillard). I didn't know until just now that Hill was also in CV (post GBV lineup). Whew.

1:45pm Joe B:

dave hill's first FMU appearance was as CV bassist on this show in 1999!

1:46pm strangesongs:

now my mind is blown straight open at the connections

1:46pm bobdoesthings:

whoa

1:47pm Sissophonic Cheryl:

You make us love Monday, Joe!

1:49pm Sissophonic Cheryl:

We all saw Ar-Kaics at Mercury Lounge, Joe.

1:50pm Cecile:

quitty and the don'ts are also the band name of the year

1:51pm Joe B:

yes Cheryl, I saw them once before that though. Don Pedro I think

1:51pm Cecile:

did they shed any new life on Fuller's death? I refuse to believe it was suicide.

1:52pm Joe B:

NO SPOILERS!

1:54pm Cecile:

hahahahahahahahaha

1:55pm KP:

Miriam!

1:55pm Woo:

I love Miriam.

1:57pm Cecile:

fine. send some spencer davis group out to me.

1:57pm Sissophonic Cheryl:

Thanks Joe!!!!!!!! You know I LOVE this one!!!

1:58pm Cecile:

this is a great one, though, siss.

1:59pm Parq:

VD~ And my cloak doctor

S~ And her dress! (rip)

VD~ thank you, and my knickers!

S~ Oh and your muff!

VD~ Oh no! that’s my muff!

2:00pm pacific standard simon:

Don't muff your lines.

2:03pm Joe B:

hey Miss V! KP! Hey woo!

2:04pm buzz hagstrom:

Another fine selection Joe. It made me forget my hangover!!

2:05pm Joe B:

hey Buzz!

2:06pm Joe B:

FoL - yes I agree!

2:10pm Woo:

Terror Armor speaks to me although I have no idea what they are saying.

2:12pm Tim 07030:

I feel bad for all the people at the AutoZone Liberty Bowl who are missing this show.

2:13pm Joe B:

at least they are in memphis! or that iswhere the liberty bowl used to be

2:13pm Cecile:

they knew what they were signing up for.

2:16pm Mugsy:

Belock, just checking in have a happy new year. Always listening.

2:23pm Cecile:

hey, Transpacific Sound ain't no slouch.

2:25pm Marc:

Transpacific Sound Paradise is comparable if not better than Todd's show. No offense to Todd.

2:26pm k beach:

Natural child brought the house downnn @ DBA! Phenomenal live band !

2:26pm Joe B:

jesus christ just shtick.

2:27pm Joe B:

plus i wasnt referring to the rest of the fmu programming. sheesh

2:29pm Cecile:

Oh, ok. Yeah, if you are going out to a rock show, you'd want Todd as the wind behind your back.

2:29pm Cecile:

and how frickin' great is the Reigning Sound?

2:32pm Joe B:

I bailed on dba, saw them the next night at Babys all right, shoulda gone to both!

2:32pm pacific standard simon:

The Baseball Project 3rd = Album of the year.

2:33pm Joe B:

it is a great one!

2:33pm Cecile:

hahahaha, you gotta love a song that shouts out to Catfish Hunter.

2:34pm Stub Farstrip:

All music from 2014? Cool. I am such a walking fossil wishing for old Seger, Foghat, the odd Beaver Brown. Good job, Joe. HNY!

2:34pm Cecile:

has any MLB team used a Baseball Project song at a game?

2:35pm Cecile:

Stub, old Seger is pretty damn great.

2:35pm Joe B:

yeah a bunch have, and they have performed at many parks!

👻

2:35pm ChrisB.:

Hopefully Josh Kantor has played a few at Fenway.

2:35pm Joe B:

anyone see his current tour? j geils band opening up

2:36pm Cecile:

that is so damn cool.

2:36pm Oil Can Boyd:

Vida Blue. There's a good band name.

2:36pm Cecile:

Seger? That sounds like an great old Midwest bill around '74...

2:36pm pacific standard simon:

I thought I heard one on some ESPN player bio, but I forget who it was, now.

2:37pm Cecile:

you know it, oil can.
I loved me some 70s A's.

2:37pm Oil Can Boyd:

I saw Seger open for REO once. Early on. He blew up back to Champagne.

2:38pm Marc:

Did I read that that Detroit kid from Seton Hall will be pitching for the Red Sox?

2:38pm Oil Can Boyd:

I mean ... he blew them away haha

2:39pm pacific standard simon:

I moved from San Francisco to Seattle area, so I'm compromising by supporting The Giants in the NL and The Mariners in the AL. But the early '70s A's were a lot of fun.

2:40pm Joe B:

oh shit - this might have to be a THREE parter. many great 2014 records i didnt get to today. definitely part 2 next week

2:40pm Cecile:

They were great. A breath of fresh air.

2:40pm Joe B:

PSS - the Scott McCaughey compromise!

2:41pm efd:

THREE PART SHOW! THREE PART SHOW!

2:41pm Oil Can Boyd:

Was that after the Moneyball-era A's? Liked that movie.

2:41pm bobdoesthings:

why not go 4 parts?! a full month!!

2:41pm pacific standard simon:

Definitely, Joe. I wish I had that McCaughey bobblehead doll.

2:42pm Cecile:

three-peat!

2:43pm Joe B:

wasnt that great of a year Bob! although considering i didnt even hear a lot of records i know are very good ... hmmm

2:46pm Whopper Sr.:

Are these Burger artist tracks re-issues or new? Whole lotta Burger goin' on.

2:47pm bobdoesthings:

hahah well .. I'll be tuning in either which way - great show, thanks joe!

2:48pm efd:

That Paul & John album will definitely be a part of my Best Of 2014 show next week!

2:49pm Cecile:

what's on a California burger where you're at, Joe? For us it's just lettuce, tomato and mayo.

2:49pm Cecile:

I somehow thought avocado should be involved

👻

2:50pm Jeff from Rahway:

Surf Taco in Long Branch - right down the street from the Brighton Bar - serves mighty yummy food.

2:51pm pacific standard simon:

Yeah, it should be avocado and cilantro.

👻

2:51pm Jeff from Rahway:

I found that essence rare indeed!

2:51pm Sem Chumbo:

Show star clicked, Joe. Cannot wait for part 2! Great stuff, see ya later!

2:52pm Cecile:

Jeff, it's what I live for.

2:52pm pacific standard simon:

Everything old is new again...

2:56pm pacific standard simon:

Thanks for reviewing the year, Joe. I'm going to go work on inventing the tequila sunrise burger -- w/sunny-side-up egg and special sauce made from Patron & pomegranate. ;)

2:56pm Rev. Turnip Druid:

That Jonly Bonly riff is right outta "aero spaceage inferno" by bob calvert… a blast o' fresh air, that was.

10:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63:
