	3:11pm βrian: Ululations while tripping? Why not?
	3:11pm spodiodi: Greetings, Fabio and persistent ones
	♥ 3:11pm dale: hey now fabio, fabious folks....
	3:13pm GorillaFella: Yoko Ono walked so Merzbow could run
	♥ 3:13pm David (in London): rushes late into the Lounge of Failure carrying a large pot of arrabbiata sauce. Trailing scarf gets caught on standard lamp, thrown off balance, bundles over several people, pot flies into the air sending sauce everywhere, careens over the back of the spattered white sofa, lies there in a daze Evening Fabio and assembled Failure fans!
	♥ 3:14pm fred: ↳ Song: "You" by "Yoko Ono" Fly is a great record
	3:14pm βrian: ↳ David (in London) @3:13 Yeah, I hate it when that happens.
	3:15pm Charles in Chicago: ↳ GorillaFella @3:13 she's flying, not walking
	♥ 3:15pm chresti: Davidkins!
	3:16pm winston legthigh: don't get saucy with me david!
	3:16pm Charles in Chicago: oops BRB quick costume change...
	♥ 3:16pm PaulRobeson1925: I went to the Park Ave armory on Friday and some of the wishes were nice and some selfish and some were in a languages I could not understand
	🎸 ♥ 3:17pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ David (in London) @3:13 discreetly sticks a finger on the sofa, removing a small sample of sauce to taste hiya, David. nice sauce!
	🎸 ♥ 3:18pm common: fabio, all
	3:19pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: love this track yoko did with the apples in stereo 🍎💖 https://youtu.be/E7KbU9iCMxw?si=afwqRSVfBpq9XIp1
	3:20pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: ↳ red_door_what_for in ypsilanti @3:19 for later. for now, locked into FMU 💪
	♥ 3:20pm PaulRobeson1925: The restrooms on the 2nd floor were clean and private and open to everybody. I liked that
	♥ 3:20pm David (in London): It's a few since since this Yoko analysis was done, but Fabio probably remains at the top: public.tableau.com...
	♥ 3:22pm David (in London): Winston, Chrestikins!, 3M, chris, βrian, fred, Spod, the Count, common, Brendan et al: hello good people.
	♥ 3:22pm WallCharger360: Hi Fabio, all. Hope everybody's having a good week
	♥ 3:23pm PaulRobeson1925: One thing about the Amoury I did not enjoy was the water fountains. Two water fountains to the left. You walk into the room full of wish trees and the only two water fountains in sight did not give any water. What’s up with that Park Ave. Armory?
	♥ 3:24pm fred: ↳ PaulRobeson1925 @3:16 Why would you read these? You go there just to make you bigger than the piece? I'll leave now, but you just confirmed what I thought of you, that you are a self-centered asshole
	3:25pm winston legthigh: whoa
	3:25pm GorillaFella: ↳ Song: "Arc Felt" by "Volcano the Bear" Volcano the Bear should do a show with The Bunny The Bear lmao. Jokes aside this has been a gorgeous and entrancing set thus far :)
	♥ 3:26pm PaulRobeson1925: ↳ fred @3:24 fred! Mr friend! The instructions Yoko gave on the tables said “fold” the wishes but the school kids who came before us on friday did not read the instructions. Lotta whishes want PS5 or to have no homework! But that is the beauty of a wish. You can make it whatever your heart desires
	♥ 3:26pm Yes: hello freedom fighters
	♥ 3:28pm PaulRobeson1925: I was surprised every wish card I saw was half full! One side blank and one side a wish and 90% unfolded. I did not fold my because i read the insertions after making the wish and hanging it. And later when I went back to see if I could find my wish and fold it, I could not find where it was on the tree
	3:29pm Charles in Chicago: The photo on this page www.armoryonpark.org... has the wishes in plain view. I did not know they were supposed to be hidden from sight.
	3:30pm Adi From Sheffield: Good evening/afternoon. I hope everyone is well.
	♥ 3:33pm PaulRobeson1925: ↳ Charles in Chicago @3:29 Everybody was stopping to read the trees. Or sit on the permitter and watch people hand their wish and read the trees. I’m sure a few schools had field trips there on Friday. We went around 3pm and the trees towards the front were full of wishes you could imagine a kid writing.
	3:33pm Rev. Turnip Druid: pleasant yo
	♥ 3:34pm David (in London): ↳ Rev. Turnip Druid @3:33 Evening Reverend.
	♥ 3:35pm doctorjazz: Hi all!
	3:35pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ↳ David (in London) @3:34 SALUTE!
	🎸 ♥ 3:35pm Ike: Sounding great.
	3:37pm GorillaFella: ↳ Song: "Rondo by the Tracks" by "Kid Millions / Harry Tau... Heavenly track
	♥ 3:37pm Yes: sweet set, fab
	3:38pm Charles in Chicago: What's the best Oneida album? I've heard some I loved and some I hated.
	♥ 3:39pm dale: i thought kid millions was big balls rap moniker.
	3:40pm spodiodi: Aloha, David (in London)! hi chresti!\\//
	♥ 3:42pm chresti: hi spodi!\\//
	♥ 3:43pm Orthofrancis: I met Yoko Ono a bunch of years ago. Her son Sean, was dating our bands singer, so she used to come to our shows inthe city. Went inside the Dakota once. pretty cool
	♥ 3:43pm PaulRobeson1925: HapPpPPPpY 92nd Yoko!! Wish you good health! You and you and you and
	3:45pm Brendan: Hi all, strangest thing. I thought I saw a flying saucer.
	3:47pm Brendan: Ah nevermind ('twas the saucier flying into the kitchen to make another batch)...
	3:47pm Adi From Sheffield: Yoko actually collaborated on a track with a band local to me The Moonlandingz a while back. Their synth guy is a mastering engineer who I have worked with.
	♥ 3:49pm Orthofrancis: She was really cool. I had a few pre-expectations, because of her fame. Nice lady
	♥ 3:55pm PaulRobeson1925: ↳ PaulRobeson1925 @3:33 Afterwards, we walked down Madison ave and a VERY handsome man playing violin inside a perfumed store smiled at me (inviting & enticingly) and that was nice
	♥ 4:02pm PaulRobeson1925: ↳ PaulRobeson1925 @3:55 Creed 794 Madison Ave We did not go in but after that smile I wanted to!
	4:03pm Mister Dobalina: Those are solid sounds being played there.
	♥ 4:04pm PaulRobeson1925: Did anyone else out there go to the Wishing Tree @The Park Ave. Armory? I wonder
	♥ 4:06pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Joining the Queue to Become One of Those Ordinary... Nice title
	♥ 4:10pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Rain Holed Roof" by "Masaoka / Chen / Grusel / Na... We have a roof like this!
	4:10pm P&%G Busta: Anyone feel like puking while listening to this? This stuff probably is best suited for media other than radio IE: live performance
	4:11pm βrian: ↳ P&%G Busta @4:10 Nah, I understand I have to expect a certain amount pain in order to find the good stuff. Sometimes the pain turns to interest.
	4:12pm ?: ↳ P&%G Busta @4:10 you are free to listen to any other radio station, or none.
	4:13pm winston legthigh: tough crowd today.
	♥ 4:13pm Orthofrancis: ↳ P&%G Busta @4:10 No, but my secretary who is sitting 5 feet away from me is re-evaluating her opinion about me. I suspect she knows I'm a war criminal, serial killer, and am mean to puppies
	4:14pm βrian: ↳ βrian @4:11 [Though if someone were to take out that Giant Man guy, I'd look the other way.]
	♥ 4:15pm chresti: ↳ Orthofrancis @4:13 Lol
	♥ 4:15pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Fabio and failure frontier.
	4:15pm Mister Dobalina: There has been more than a few negative comments on different shows lately. What’s up with that?
	♥ 4:15pm PaulRobeson1925: ↳ winston legthigh @4:13 Hi Mr.Winston! I’m seeing very light snow flurries in Carol Gardens
	4:16pm βrian: ↳ Mister Dobalina @4:15 Apart from hell having broken loose?
	♥ 4:17pm chresti: ↳ βrian @4:14 Mr Giant Man strikes me as a fun-loving benevolent man
	4:17pm winston legthigh: ↳ PaulRobeson1925 @4:15 pr1925! no snow, just a cool buzz and some tasty waves here in daytona.
	♥ 4:19pm PaulRobeson1925: ↳ winston legthigh @4:17 Easy Peazy, baby!
	4:19pm βrian: ↳ chresti @4:17 I had the same impression the first 42,000 times I heard him. But then …
	♥ 4:19pm PaulRobeson1925: Mr.Irwin knows easy. Real easy
	♥ 4:20pm egould: ↳ Song: "An Aural Symbiotic Mystery (excerpt)" by "Charlem... This is an excerpt? How long is the full song?
	4:20pm P&%G Busta: I love WFMU but the average age of the DJs seems to hover in the early 60’s. Time for the young folks to blow some dust of the records!
	4:21pm phloti: This is wonderful
	♥ 4:22pm chresti: ↳ βrian @4:16 Released from their troll holes?
	♥ 4:23pm egould: ↳ egould @4:20 charlemagnepalestine1.bandcamp.com... 51 minutes apparently. Ambitious.
	4:23pm βrian: ↳ chresti @4:22 I'm thinking more of the general gestalt, these days.
	🎸 ♥ 4:25pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ βrian @4:23 mean a-holes have a trickle down effect, i fear.
	4:25pm winston legthigh: donate lots of money and they only play the stuff you like.
	4:25pm Adi From Sheffield: This is getting me on a good pencilling session
	♥ 4:25pm three-hour brunch friend: these two can duet for as long as they like
	4:28pm ?: ↳ βrian @4:23 they were way over the line on Bailey's show recently. Am worried we may have to turn out sometimes just to protect DJs from abuse
	4:30pm βrian: I thought Wally was the lead for Mural.
	4:32pm βrian: Anna Karina? That sweater, oh my!
	♥ 4:33pm nathan: don't forget Child's Play!
	♥ 4:33pm egould: Billy Bibbit 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'
	4:33pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ nathan @4:33 And Star Trek
	4:36pm goes211: No offense. I liked Fitzcaraldo but is Herzog actually a good director or just a “weird “ guy who makes movies. What else of his movies are good cinema?
	♥ 4:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~Good ♃Thursday FMUvianz~
	4:38pm Tony: ↳ goes211 @4:36 Strozek
	4:40pm goes211: @Tony…thank you I’ll check it out.
	♥ 4:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I'm afraid some of us learned Brad Dourif's name from playing Grima Wormtounge in 'Lord of the Rings'.
	4:42pm GorillaFella: ↳ Song: "An Aural Symbiotic Mystery (excerpt)" by "Charlem... This song is freaking awesome, what a journey! Whole program today has been absolutely entrancing 🔮✨️🌌
	4:47pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ↳ Tony @4:38 also Woyzeck
	4:49pm dan in wisconsin: Even Dwarfs Started Small...a celluloid demonstration of (mostly) anarchic benevolence...
	4:50pm winston legthigh: stick a fork in me I am done working! thanks fabs and most, later!
	4:50pm dan in wisconsin: Cave of Forgotten Dreams by Herzog is incredible too. I don't think they offer tours of that cave anymore.
	4:53pm Fabio: @ goes211: Even Dwarves Started Small, Aguiree, The Wrath of God, Strszek, The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser, The Great Ecstasy of Woodcarver Steiner, Heart of Glass, Nosferatu the Vampyre, Grizzly Man... and tons more!
	🎸 ♥ 4:55pm sleepy: I needed a good scream right now!
	♥ 4:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Afterglow" by "Maja S.K. Ratkje, Jon Wesseltoft, ... ...either Diamanda Galas locked in the next room (dungeon?) ...or a seance summoning her...
	4:55pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Good lord, yes, Even Dwarves was quite a thing
	♥ 4:55pm egould: ↳ Song: "Afterglow" by "Maja S.K. Ratkje, Jon Wesseltoft, ... My wife asks "Is this horror music?"
	♥ 4:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Madam ...Horror has always 'borrowed' from the Avant-garde...
	4:56pm ?: Is it time for a little something?
	♥ 4:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Even Funk Dwarvies...
	♥ 4:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ @4:56 That was 4:20, over half an hour ago in this time zone.
	🎸 ♥ 4:58pm sleepy: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:57 Ha ha!
	♥ 4:58pm WallCharger360: ↳ Fabio @4:53 Grizzly Man! "I'm leaving you my original footage of the bear with your husband in the tent....you must promise me never to listen to this tape...it's up here on the fireplace mantel..."
	4:58pm Rev. Turnip Druid: nearly 3pm here, so everything is fake news.
	4:58pm dan in wisconsin: In the movie Stroszek the characters are drinking Old Style Beer, which is still brewed right here in sconnyville. Man, that is one depressing movie. I can see why it was in Ian Curtis' VHS player when he passed away.
	5:02pm tgravel: Hi Fabio Howdy everyone!
	5:03pm Brendan: To quote Robert De Niro, "Yeah, that really hit the spot"
	5:04pm Tony: ↳ dan in wisconsin @4:50 I don't think they ever did, but they let Herzog film there. It's because of what happened at the Lascaux caves, where moisture and CO2 from visitors was ruining it. They have built 2 different replicas of the cave. I was there last year and even the fake caves were very impressive.
	♥ 5:04pm Northern Jacana: You play awesome sounds. Like your show very much.
	♥ 5:05pm coelacanth∅: olá Fabio
	♥ 5:08pm David (in London): ↳ dan in wisconsin @4:58 I've wondered about that, I think he must have watched it on TV. Video recorders were astronomically expensive in the UK in 1980, and I doubt his local civil service office salary would have stretched to one. And JD certainly weren't raking in that kind of cash sadly.
	5:08pm dan in wisconsin: ↳ Tony @5:04 Yep, cave visitors have discarded bags of Cheetos (and other trash) which subsequently damaged the intricately formed cave formations in other caves. Doesn't surprise me that the French so closely guard Chauvet Cave.
	5:08pm Rev. Turnip Druid: me effing likey
	🎸 ♥ 5:13pm Ike: Still sounding great.
	5:14pm Tony: ↳ David (in London) @5:08 I remember back then people used to rent video players.
	🎸 ♥ 5:16pm Ike: I was volunteering to scan some old LCD issues recently and my favorite old Fabio show description, from 1988, was, "Georgian 'power ballads', Aryan electro-pop, Yugoslavian disco, Latin industrial, violent Muzak and the very best in lysergic Christian speed metal... HAIL SATAN!!"
	5:17pm hectic: does anyone know when lcd is coming out?
	♥ 5:24pm David (in London): ↳ Tony @5:14 Did some sleuthing. It was on television (BBC2), as it wasn't released on video in the UK until 1982.
	5:25pm annette: gulf of metallica, gulf of NRBQ...pick from your heart..
	♥ 5:26pm Ken From Hyde Park: Gulf of Foflug, for the palindrome crowd.
	5:27pm annette: failure ??? always got up from knees
	🎸 ♥ 5:29pm Ike: ↳ hectic @5:17 Sometime after the 'thon. It will be a premium for folks who pledge monthly but I'm not sure of the minimum amount, or if it will eventually be available other ways.
	5:29pm annette: just get that gulf
	5:30pm J: ↳ David (in London) @5:24 Bootleg
	♥ 5:31pm David (in London): ↳ J @5:30 In Macclesfield in 1980? I don't think that's very likely. It was on BBC2 apparently.
	♥ 5:31pm newton: Gulf of Shrimp sounds tasty right about now
	♥ 5:32pm egould: ↳ David (in London) @5:31 Was it considered a 'video nasty'?
	5:33pm Cosmo in Seattle: Gulf of Hoodwink
	♥ 5:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Violent Muzak ...may change my legal name...
	5:35pm annette: gulf of Failure 😂 lol
	♥ 5:35pm David (in London): No, not at all. Only that in the UK in 1980, only the extremely wealthy could have afforded a video recorder, and the titles available would have been pretty limited. We were some years behind the US.
	♥ 5:37pm Ken From Hyde Park: Gulfs of Hazzard
	♥ 5:37pm egould: ↳ newton @5:31 A plate full of Royal Reds at the Half Shell Oyster House in Biloxi, MS is my heaven. Seated at the bar, martini in hand. Having just finished off a dozen roasted oysters.
	♥ 5:38pm newton: ↳ egould @5:37 it will take me a little time to get there, but Im in!
	5:38pm βrian: ↳ Song: "Cover Me With Knives" by "The North Sea" This is the kinda noise I was talking about. Seeming pain yielding to delight, don't ya know.
	5:39pm βrian: ↳ egould @5:37 Roasted? Huh.
	♥ 5:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Violent Muzak & the Roasted Oyster Band
	♥ 5:40pm newton: ↳ βrian @5:39 like Rockefeller?
	5:41pm βrian: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:39 Like Öysters?
	♥ 5:41pm egould: ↳ βrian @5:39 Grilled over an open flame of pecan wood.
	♥ 5:41pm newton: pecan, the state tree of texas, not to disparage Pecan trees
	5:42pm annette: Fabio, grazia MILLE
	♥ 5:43pm egould: ↳ newton @5:40 Sort of, but not prepared with the topping. Fresh shucked oysters grilled over pecan wood.
	5:44pm βrian: If it's "pec-cahns," I'll try 'em. But "pee-cans" make me wary.
	♥ 5:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...piquants...
	5:47pm Triple G: Great show, thanks Fabio
	5:47pm annette: nothing like combing moutains of italy to bring back chestnuts to roast. then i saved itallo dello sport to bring for my teacher
	5:50pm annette: CHESTNUTS IS THU WORD .
	♥ 5:51pm dale: i'm not very chatty, but great noise today fabs.
	♥ 5:51pm Bas NL: Thanks Fabio!
	♥ 5:52pm PaulRobeson1925: Thursday morning ends another dream & yesterday goes away Leaving only half a memory
	🎸 ♥ 5:53pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ Song: "Der Turm" by "Amuleto" der clicky-star!
	♥ 5:53pm chresti: Thanks Fabio!
	🎸 ♥ 5:54pm common: ↳ chris in the redwoods @5:53 yep
	5:55pm J: Am I hearing the borth Wire in there?
	♥ 5:55pm Deano de los Muertos: ↳ Song: "The Light Pours out of Me" by "Magazine" Hell yeah! 🥁🥁🥁
	5:56pm Avspuk: Don't know how you do it Fabio even though you've been at it decades you must have to listen to music all day every day to select such good stuff. No idea how you mange to fit in watching movies too. Many thanks.
	5:56pm Midwood: Just discovered the Magazine Peel sesh on You Tube from 1978. What a killer. What a band.
	♥ 5:56pm spodiodi: Thanks, Fabio!
	♥ 5:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: The failure pours out of me. Thanks, Fabio!
	♥ 5:56pm egould: ↳ Song: "The Light Pours out of Me" by "Magazine" What a great show. Thanks Fabio.
	♥ 5:56pm David (in London): Thanks Fabio.
	♥ 5:57pm newton: thanks for all the sounds Fabio!
	🎸 ♥ 5:57pm chris in the redwoods: grazie, Fabio!
	🎸 ♥ 5:57pm sleepy: Thanks Fabio!
	♥ 5:57pm Deano de los Muertos: Thanks, Fabio!
	♥ 5:58pm Deano de los Muertos: I’m failing up
	♥ 5:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ Fabio ~

	♥ 3:11pm dale: hey now fabio, fabious folks....
	3:13pm GorillaFella: Yoko Ono walked so Merzbow could run
	♥ 3:13pm David (in London): rushes late into the Lounge of Failure carrying a large pot of arrabbiata sauce. Trailing scarf gets caught on standard lamp, thrown off balance, bundles over several people, pot flies into the air sending sauce everywhere, careens over the back of the spattered white sofa, lies there in a daze Evening Fabio and assembled Failure fans!
	♥ 3:14pm fred: ↳ Song: "You" by "Yoko Ono" Fly is a great record
	3:14pm βrian: ↳ David (in London) @3:13 Yeah, I hate it when that happens.

	♥ 3:20pm PaulRobeson1925: The restrooms on the 2nd floor were clean and private and open to everybody. I liked that
	♥ 3:20pm David (in London): It's a few since since this Yoko analysis was done, but Fabio probably remains at the top: public.tableau.com...

	♥ 3:23pm PaulRobeson1925: One thing about the Amoury I did not enjoy was the water fountains. Two water fountains to the left. You walk into the room full of wish trees and the only two water fountains in sight did not give any water. What’s up with that Park Ave. Armory?
	♥ 3:24pm fred: ↳ PaulRobeson1925 @3:16 Why would you read these? You go there just to make you bigger than the piece? I'll leave now, but you just confirmed what I thought of you, that you are a self-centered asshole
	3:25pm winston legthigh: whoa
	3:25pm GorillaFella: ↳ Song: "Arc Felt" by "Volcano the Bear" Volcano the Bear should do a show with The Bunny The Bear lmao. Jokes aside this has been a gorgeous and entrancing set thus far :)
	♥ 3:26pm PaulRobeson1925: ↳ fred @3:24 fred! Mr friend! The instructions Yoko gave on the tables said “fold” the wishes but the school kids who came before us on friday did not read the instructions. Lotta whishes want PS5 or to have no homework! But that is the beauty of a wish. You can make it whatever your heart desires
	♥ 3:26pm Yes: hello freedom fighters
	♥ 3:28pm PaulRobeson1925: I was surprised every wish card I saw was half full! One side blank and one side a wish and 90% unfolded. I did not fold my because i read the insertions after making the wish and hanging it. And later when I went back to see if I could find my wish and fold it, I could not find where it was on the tree
	3:29pm Charles in Chicago: The photo on this page www.armoryonpark.org... has the wishes in plain view. I did not know they were supposed to be hidden from sight.
	3:30pm Adi From Sheffield: Good evening/afternoon. I hope everyone is well.
	♥ 3:33pm PaulRobeson1925: ↳ Charles in Chicago @3:29 Everybody was stopping to read the trees. Or sit on the permitter and watch people hand their wish and read the trees. I’m sure a few schools had field trips there on Friday. We went around 3pm and the trees towards the front were full of wishes you could imagine a kid writing.
	3:33pm Rev. Turnip Druid: pleasant yo

	3:38pm Charles in Chicago: What's the best Oneida album? I've heard some I loved and some I hated.

	3:45pm Brendan: Hi all, strangest thing. I thought I saw a flying saucer.
	3:47pm Brendan: Ah nevermind ('twas the saucier flying into the kitchen to make another batch)...
	3:47pm Adi From Sheffield: Yoko actually collaborated on a track with a band local to me The Moonlandingz a while back. Their synth guy is a mastering engineer who I have worked with.
	♥ 3:49pm Orthofrancis: She was really cool. I had a few pre-expectations, because of her fame. Nice lady
	♥ 3:55pm PaulRobeson1925: ↳ PaulRobeson1925 @3:33 Afterwards, we walked down Madison ave and a VERY handsome man playing violin inside a perfumed store smiled at me (inviting & enticingly) and that was nice
	♥ 4:02pm PaulRobeson1925: ↳ PaulRobeson1925 @3:55 Creed 794 Madison Ave We did not go in but after that smile I wanted to!
	4:03pm Mister Dobalina: Those are solid sounds being played there.
	♥ 4:04pm PaulRobeson1925: Did anyone else out there go to the Wishing Tree @The Park Ave. Armory? I wonder
	♥ 4:06pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Joining the Queue to Become One of Those Ordinary... Nice title
	♥ 4:10pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Rain Holed Roof" by "Masaoka / Chen / Grusel / Na... We have a roof like this!
	4:10pm P&%G Busta: Anyone feel like puking while listening to this? This stuff probably is best suited for media other than radio IE: live performance
	4:11pm βrian: ↳ P&%G Busta @4:10 Nah, I understand I have to expect a certain amount pain in order to find the good stuff. Sometimes the pain turns to interest.
	4:12pm ?: ↳ P&%G Busta @4:10 you are free to listen to any other radio station, or none.
	4:13pm winston legthigh: tough crowd today.
	♥ 4:13pm Orthofrancis: ↳ P&%G Busta @4:10 No, but my secretary who is sitting 5 feet away from me is re-evaluating her opinion about me. I suspect she knows I'm a war criminal, serial killer, and am mean to puppies
	4:14pm βrian: ↳ βrian @4:11 [Though if someone were to take out that Giant Man guy, I'd look the other way.]
	♥ 4:15pm chresti: ↳ Orthofrancis @4:13 Lol
	♥ 4:15pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Fabio and failure frontier.
	4:15pm Mister Dobalina: There has been more than a few negative comments on different shows lately. What’s up with that?
	♥ 4:15pm PaulRobeson1925: ↳ winston legthigh @4:13 Hi Mr.Winston! I’m seeing very light snow flurries in Carol Gardens
	4:16pm βrian: ↳ Mister Dobalina @4:15 Apart from hell having broken loose?
	♥ 4:17pm chresti: ↳ βrian @4:14 Mr Giant Man strikes me as a fun-loving benevolent man
	4:17pm winston legthigh: ↳ PaulRobeson1925 @4:15 pr1925! no snow, just a cool buzz and some tasty waves here in daytona.
	♥ 4:19pm PaulRobeson1925: ↳ winston legthigh @4:17 Easy Peazy, baby!
	4:19pm βrian: ↳ chresti @4:17 I had the same impression the first 42,000 times I heard him. But then …
	♥ 4:19pm PaulRobeson1925: Mr.Irwin knows easy. Real easy
	♥ 4:20pm egould: ↳ Song: "An Aural Symbiotic Mystery (excerpt)" by "Charlem... This is an excerpt? How long is the full song?
	4:20pm P&%G Busta: I love WFMU but the average age of the DJs seems to hover in the early 60’s. Time for the young folks to blow some dust of the records!
	4:21pm phloti: This is wonderful
	♥ 4:22pm chresti: ↳ βrian @4:16 Released from their troll holes?
	♥ 4:23pm egould: ↳ egould @4:20 charlemagnepalestine1.bandcamp.com... 51 minutes apparently. Ambitious.
	4:23pm βrian: ↳ chresti @4:22 I'm thinking more of the general gestalt, these days.
	🎸 ♥ 4:25pm chris in the redwoods: ↳ βrian @4:23 mean a-holes have a trickle down effect, i fear.
	4:25pm winston legthigh: donate lots of money and they only play the stuff you like.
	4:25pm Adi From Sheffield: This is getting me on a good pencilling session
	♥ 4:25pm three-hour brunch friend: these two can duet for as long as they like
	4:28pm ?: ↳ βrian @4:23 they were way over the line on Bailey's show recently. Am worried we may have to turn out sometimes just to protect DJs from abuse
	4:30pm βrian: I thought Wally was the lead for Mural.
	4:32pm βrian: Anna Karina? That sweater, oh my!
	♥ 4:33pm nathan: don't forget Child's Play!

	4:33pm Adi From Sheffield: ↳ nathan @4:33 And Star Trek
	4:36pm goes211: No offense. I liked Fitzcaraldo but is Herzog actually a good director or just a “weird “ guy who makes movies. What else of his movies are good cinema?
	♥ 4:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~Good ♃Thursday FMUvianz~
	4:38pm Tony: ↳ goes211 @4:36 Strozek
	4:40pm goes211: @Tony…thank you I’ll check it out.

	4:42pm GorillaFella: ↳ Song: "An Aural Symbiotic Mystery (excerpt)" by "Charlem... This song is freaking awesome, what a journey! Whole program today has been absolutely entrancing 🔮✨️🌌

	4:49pm dan in wisconsin: Even Dwarfs Started Small...a celluloid demonstration of (mostly) anarchic benevolence...
	4:50pm winston legthigh: stick a fork in me I am done working! thanks fabs and most, later!
	4:50pm dan in wisconsin: Cave of Forgotten Dreams by Herzog is incredible too. I don't think they offer tours of that cave anymore.
	4:53pm Fabio: @ goes211: Even Dwarves Started Small, Aguiree, The Wrath of God, Strszek, The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser, The Great Ecstasy of Woodcarver Steiner, Heart of Glass, Nosferatu the Vampyre, Grizzly Man... and tons more!

	♥ 4:55pm egould: ↳ Song: "Afterglow" by "Maja S.K. Ratkje, Jon Wesseltoft, ... My wife asks "Is this horror music?"

	4:58pm Rev. Turnip Druid: nearly 3pm here, so everything is fake news.
	4:58pm dan in wisconsin: In the movie Stroszek the characters are drinking Old Style Beer, which is still brewed right here in sconnyville. Man, that is one depressing movie. I can see why it was in Ian Curtis' VHS player when he passed away.
	5:02pm tgravel: Hi Fabio Howdy everyone!
	5:03pm Brendan: To quote Robert De Niro, "Yeah, that really hit the spot"
	5:04pm Tony: ↳ dan in wisconsin @4:50 I don't think they ever did, but they let Herzog film there. It's because of what happened at the Lascaux caves, where moisture and CO2 from visitors was ruining it. They have built 2 different replicas of the cave. I was there last year and even the fake caves were very impressive.
	♥ 5:04pm Northern Jacana: You play awesome sounds. Like your show very much.
	♥ 5:05pm coelacanth∅: olá Fabio
	♥ 5:08pm David (in London): ↳ dan in wisconsin @4:58 I've wondered about that, I think he must have watched it on TV. Video recorders were astronomically expensive in the UK in 1980, and I doubt his local civil service office salary would have stretched to one. And JD certainly weren't raking in that kind of cash sadly.
	5:08pm dan in wisconsin: ↳ Tony @5:04 Yep, cave visitors have discarded bags of Cheetos (and other trash) which subsequently damaged the intricately formed cave formations in other caves. Doesn't surprise me that the French so closely guard Chauvet Cave.
	5:08pm Rev. Turnip Druid: me effing likey
	🎸 ♥ 5:13pm Ike: Still sounding great.
	5:14pm Tony: ↳ David (in London) @5:08 I remember back then people used to rent video players.
	🎸 ♥ 5:16pm Ike: I was volunteering to scan some old LCD issues recently and my favorite old Fabio show description, from 1988, was, "Georgian 'power ballads', Aryan electro-pop, Yugoslavian disco, Latin industrial, violent Muzak and the very best in lysergic Christian speed metal... HAIL SATAN!!"
	5:17pm hectic: does anyone know when lcd is coming out?
	♥ 5:24pm David (in London): ↳ Tony @5:14 Did some sleuthing. It was on television (BBC2), as it wasn't released on video in the UK until 1982.
	5:25pm annette: gulf of metallica, gulf of NRBQ...pick from your heart..
	♥ 5:26pm Ken From Hyde Park: Gulf of Foflug, for the palindrome crowd.
	5:27pm annette: failure ??? always got up from knees
	🎸 ♥ 5:29pm Ike: ↳ hectic @5:17 Sometime after the 'thon. It will be a premium for folks who pledge monthly but I'm not sure of the minimum amount, or if it will eventually be available other ways.
	5:29pm annette: just get that gulf
	5:30pm J: ↳ David (in London) @5:24 Bootleg
	♥ 5:31pm David (in London): ↳ J @5:30 In Macclesfield in 1980? I don't think that's very likely. It was on BBC2 apparently.
	♥ 5:31pm newton: Gulf of Shrimp sounds tasty right about now
	♥ 5:32pm egould: ↳ David (in London) @5:31 Was it considered a 'video nasty'?
	5:33pm Cosmo in Seattle: Gulf of Hoodwink
	♥ 5:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Violent Muzak ...may change my legal name...
	5:35pm annette: gulf of Failure 😂 lol
	♥ 5:35pm David (in London): No, not at all. Only that in the UK in 1980, only the extremely wealthy could have afforded a video recorder, and the titles available would have been pretty limited. We were some years behind the US.
	♥ 5:37pm Ken From Hyde Park: Gulfs of Hazzard
	♥ 5:37pm egould: ↳ newton @5:31 A plate full of Royal Reds at the Half Shell Oyster House in Biloxi, MS is my heaven. Seated at the bar, martini in hand. Having just finished off a dozen roasted oysters.

	5:38pm βrian: ↳ Song: "Cover Me With Knives" by "The North Sea" This is the kinda noise I was talking about. Seeming pain yielding to delight, don't ya know.
	5:39pm βrian: ↳ egould @5:37 Roasted? Huh.
	♥ 5:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Violent Muzak & the Roasted Oyster Band
	♥ 5:40pm newton: ↳ βrian @5:39 like Rockefeller?
	5:41pm βrian: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:39 Like Öysters?
	♥ 5:41pm egould: ↳ βrian @5:39 Grilled over an open flame of pecan wood.

	5:42pm annette: Fabio, grazia MILLE
	♥ 5:43pm egould: ↳ newton @5:40 Sort of, but not prepared with the topping. Fresh shucked oysters grilled over pecan wood.
	5:44pm βrian: If it's "pec-cahns," I'll try 'em. But "pee-cans" make me wary.
	♥ 5:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...piquants...
