And is this how they came up with the word "bouncer"?
  Sat. 2/11/12 3:32pm J.T.:

I'm glad to note he isn't a plumber, though.
  Sat. 2/11/12 3:32pm G:

If he were just a little bit beachballier, the crowd might be able to keep him bouncing around the stadium for the duration of the set.
  Sat. 2/11/12 3:32pm John W.:

Will there be a Mike Sin Marathon calendar?
  Sat. 2/11/12 3:34pm kat330:

Hey all! Thanks for listening. Mike says hi, too!
  Sat. 2/11/12 4:01pm Jim B:

Mr. Checker's "My Mind", Alison Krauss singing "Dazed and Confused" - there's an unmined vein that would make a great marathon premium!
  Sat. 2/11/12 4:02pm kat330:

Hi, Nate! You have Mike hogtied and gagged in the studio?
  Sat. 2/11/12 4:04pm Listener Jumpy from Brooklyn:

Thin Lizzy does rock. I know the indie world might disagree-but there's no denying it.

@SteveL: Bottomheavy here at the bootheel of the state, since I'm also in New Albany. :)
  Sat. 2/11/12 5:55pm SteveL:

  Sat. 2/11/12 5:59pm kat330:

I think our outage was my PC-specific problem, not the stream. We are a hybrid household with J.T. on a Mac, and he was able to get us back on. Gotta love Windows -- or not. :(
