Listener comments!
	3:15am Joe: Writing a final paper due at 7am... I'll be here all night. Great Roy Ayers pick.
	3:17am jj.: Rad, hope this helps! Enjoy...
	3:30am Joe: So why do you think Antonioni blew up that house at the end?
	3:33am jj.: Y'know, I've still never seen the f'n movie. I know, I know...
	3:33am C: to prove how unexciting he can make an ending even when something does happen
	3:38am Joe: I like that answer. I've only seen ZB and Blow Up, though, and Blow Up I liked. I actually almost laughed at the house scene at the end of Zabriskie Point. I guess I'm just dumb.
	3:42am C: Check out L'avventura. That one's my favorite. The music is the best too, I think. I wish they had a soundtrack for it. I've seen Giovanni Fusco (I think that's the composer's name), but it never includes that movie.
	4:05am Joe: Ah... Scientist. I was wondering why the hell everything was reminding me of Grand Theft Auto 10 minutes ago.
	4:08am jj.: Scientist in GTA? Wowza. Somehow missed that one!
	4:23am Joe: GTA 3 had a Reggae "station"... it was a couple of cuts from Greensleeves, and like 3 tracks off of Scientist Rids the World of the Evil etc. Still haven't heard that whole album though.
	4:38am Sister Hairy Hymen: Sheesh this is bad
	4:43am Sister Hairy Hymen: reminds me of David Byrne
