Listener comments!
	9:02am John Allen: wake up
	9:02am Aaron Working In Newark: Good Morning JA!
	👻 9:03am adampsyche: waaaaaaake upppp
	👻 9:06am Ken From Hyde Park: Dream dream dream ...
	9:06am Diezel Tea: JA I don't think I noticed, but this is your intro track each show, right?
	9:07am steveo: Good morning. Trying to wake up. Wearing two pairs of socks in case one of them gets knocked off.
	9:09am John Allen: yeh DT, this is the official opening theme to each weeks show. the regulars here will now share their thoughts with us on Wake Up
	👻 9:12am Ken From Hyde Park: It's kind of the fruitcake of opening theme songs. You find different stuff inside it each time and some people don't like it at all, yet it's endearing to others.
	9:12am George of Troy: Good morning, John
	9:14am Diezel Tea: I usually miss it because I'm usually leaving work around now and listen once I get home. But today is a very special day, for all of us.
	9:15am mb: Good morning WFMU'ers. Was hoping to be up and get "Suzy'd" this morn. Hi DJ JA.
	9:16am MD: Good Morning Fellow Travellers...FIne and wintery...
	👻 9:17am Mick: Good morning one and all. i'm awake, i'm awake!
	9:18am Rev. Turnip Druid: Faithful listener for a thousand years, yet I've never made it in time for the Wake Up ritual. Why (why why) are i sleeping?
	9:20am The Oscar: On a side note: What movie theater will allow teenagers who fall asleep during a movie to remain there until 4AM?
	9:23am ranjit: "your own self II" feels oddly like "In C"!
	👻 9:23am Ken From Hyde Park: I see the 2014 JA T-shirt is available in limited sizes: www.wfmu.store...
	9:27am rsj: that's genius!
	9:28am steveo: kids can still "fall asleep" in the basement watching movies. geese are rarely cooked, however
	9:32am Polyus: Cheers John. I wonder how they got microphones down to the bottom of that well they recorded the drums in?
	9:42am MD: Yeah! it hit home this morning when my wife played a buzzcocls song on her computer! TO YOUNG!!!
	9:43am The Oscar: Back when I worked in the music department of a Major Chain Bookstore (circa mid-2000s) I would always try to push Singles Going Steady on parents buying Green Day for their kids. They'd invariably pass, and it took a while for it to dawn on me that they might have been scared off by the title of the first track.
	9:44am MD: RIP PETE SHELLEY...
	9:45am MD: AN AMAZING BAND...!!!
	9:47am cluebucket: sigh :'-{ glad to be listening, sad for the Pete circumstances...
	9:49am jayjay in MTL: Good morning everybody! Weird coincidence, I checked the wikipedia entry for Homosapiens yesterday as I was trying to remember what computer was pictured on the cover (It's a PET by the way) and heard the sad news only this morning.
	9:58am Davis: yes yes.. good buzzcocks choices... fantastic band..
	10:01am SeanG: always loved this tune
	10:03am Davis: yes yes- side 2 definitely
	10:05am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: In the movie 24 hour party people (or was it Dig!) The Buzzcocks booked the Sex Pistols to play in Manchester in 1976 or 7, early early on.
	10:16am mb: Loving all the Jack Rose being played this week on the FMU. Glad to see he is not forgotten.
	10:19am steveo: glad i wore those extra socks
	10:22am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Wanna go xc skiing with my 8 year old (ok, we go down the sled hill on xc skis, his idea!) but I gotta install a new 2 handled Moen shower. Wish me luck, hope its a "no sweat" plumbing deal.
	10:32am steveo: fix the shower when it's dark
	10:33am John Allen: ...so no one can learn yer tricks
	10:33am tak: hey cool first half was playing this morning
	10:45am Crudbringer: I'm "Waving" at you! Because _WAVES_!
	10:47am Tom Dothro: Nice to see the visage of my old friend Klaus N.!
	10:48am Chris from DC: Hoping someone will spin some of that Pete Shelley electronic record, Sky Yen.
	10:51am Monica: Now you're talkin'!
	10:52am John Allen: mo, no woman was hurt in that song
	10:52am tim from champaign: Hi everyone!
	10:54am Monica: i like this new quiet storm direction you're talking, john.
	10:55am tim from champaign: @Monica - I meant to write this when you filled in for Sheila last week. I have a fond memory of one of your Sunday evening fill ins from a couple years ago. My daughter was under a year old and we were listen in while I making dinner. My daughter was beginning to respond to music and she was really getting down with the jams you were spinning.
	10:58am Monica: very cool, tim. thx so much for sharing that. do you work for U of I? love the group champaign from champaign,
	11:01am Doobois: I haven't been here long, but I don't think I've seen the phrase "quiet storm" mentioned here, at Chez JA, before. #keepingitlocked
	👻 11:01am karlward: WHAT IS HAPPENING
	11:02am John Allen: SUMMONING KARL
	👻 11:02am karlward: Please tell me this means that Young Americans era David Bowie is still alive
	11:02am rsj: Oh that Sax! JA version of heavy metal?
	11:02am Doobois: LOL
	11:02am John Allen: YOU'VE BEEN SERVED
	👻 11:04am karlward: When does Iggy Pop come in on this track?
	11:04am tim from champaign: Monica - I used to work at the main library at the U of I. In July we moved outside of Tacoma WA for another library job where I select and deliver items to homebound patrons. The record store in Champaign that I'd help out at had a wall sized poster of the band Champaign. Rumor had it that the singer still lived in Champaign. Also, a maintenance guy in the building was a driver for Brother Jack McDuff and George Benson in the 60s. He had great stories!
	11:06am John Allen: Soooo many records issued as an incomplete statement because iggy pop couldn't show up shirtless and whisper cameo
	👻 11:07am karlward: Painful to admit, but true. But there was that time that Iggy Pop and Lou Reed switched places for a couple albums and no one noticed. At least we have that.
	11:12am Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @Karlward-could you unpack that a bit? Switching places? Huh? You mean metaphorically or actually?
	👻 11:14am karlward: I heard about it from JA, you'll have to ask him for details. The one thing I know is that I was not speaking metaphorically.
	11:16am Monica: JA has a rarely revealed smooth jazz side to him that few of us are privy to. Go ahead, ask him about Dave Koz, Mindy Abair, Grover Washington discographies. @tim, industry macher irving azoff also from that area. from danville, went to UI. where he met and started managing dan fogelberg.
	11:23am Andy the painter: i always liked the smooth jazz they played on the weather channel, in the morning on the motel/hotel tv when i was traveling a lot for work. (90’s) it was very soothing. do they still still do that? don’t have cable.
	11:24am Ike: Some of these people probably remember hearing that JA phase, @Monica. He played that stuff on the air regularly for a while and I believe I roasted him for it in the comments.
	11:24am The Oscar: I had an Uber driver a couple of months ago who put on a Dave Koz CD, then spent the entire drive expounding on how great Dave Koz is, and how this was the only CD he ever played for passengers, and how it never failed to bring people together. The icing on the cake was the thirty seconds or so before he put on the CD, during which he was absolutely listening to "The Real Slim Shady."
	11:30am John Allen: yes Ike, you had a good laugh for yourself that day, but it was a small fire easily doused
	11:33am Ike: A certain other FMU DJ figured JA had Record Collectors' Disease and ran out of other things to collect so he was reduced to collecting smooth jazz. Other theories are welcome.
	11:34am steveo: whenever john plays something I don't like, I figure it's just because I have bad taste and listen extra carefully
	11:37am steveo: same as any dj, really. got to run. thanks for the show.
	11:38am John Allen: bye steveo!
	12:53pm steveo: byee

JA In The AM with John Allen: Playlist from December 7, 2018

View John Allen's profile

"I listened yesterday. It's no reflection on you but I could'nt see where you were going or what you were going for. This early seventies thing did'nt get noticed the first time and you talk about friends of like Dealney and Bonnie who had records out like we're supposed to remember who they are. Then you play this long winded free jazz stuff that really grates on my nerves. And that noise without a beat and sounds like someones being pinched. Then you play a reggae song, I think you called it Dub, to what, be cool? You seem to really fetishize the whole folk thing too which is obnoxious to us who don't even care. I liked it when you played that punk song though. I like Joe Belock a lot." (Visit homepage.)
