	8:08pm Gaylord Fields: @katie: Aw, you!
	8:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...from the infernal to the refined...
	8:08pm Gaylord Fields: @Linda Lee: Good evening to you!
	8:08pm unpopularfred: Well, The Left Banke puts me in a better mood.
	8:09pm Gaylord Fields: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Demon on one shoulder...
	8:09pm SeanG: XTC!!
	8:09pm glenn: a better mood, but still snowing.
	8:09pm Scraps: Skylarking is wonderful, wonderful.
	8:10pm Uncle Michael: This was almost in my "The Prisoner" show on Friday!
	8:10pm Linda Lee: amazing coming up on 'lucifer rising' after that chat about His Satanic Majesty last show. ;-)
	8:10pm JakeGould: Hello!
	8:11pm Gaylord Fields: @SeanG: perhaps my top artist whose music I neglect on my radio show for some odd reason.
	8:11pm Scraps: god i love the percussion on The Meeting Place
	8:14pm Gaylord Fields: @Uncle Michael: Once again, our shows magically sync up.
	8:14pm Linda Lee: honestly, this is just like coming into a warm room full of friends after a hike in the snow.. shaking off the flakes in front of a fireplace. smiles all around. very sweet.
	8:15pm Linda Lee: what a welcoming radio show! :-)
	8:15pm Gaylord Fields: @Scraps: I wore out the my vinyl copy when it was first released. It's a great album made under unpleasant circumstances (AP and Todd could not stand each other).
	8:16pm Scraps: Stuart Moxham, too.... thank you
	8:16pm Gaylord Fields: @Linda Lee: To which you are always welcome!
	8:16pm Gaylord Fields: Hi @JakeGould.
	8:16pm Linda Lee: oh lovely!! thank you!
	8:16pm glenn: dumb music question, perfect for gaylord - was it stuart moxham the recorded the tribute / homage to margeurite duras?
	8:16pm Uncle Michael: I chose the other Prisoner-related XTC song. Alas.
	8:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...since 2016 & 1968 are both Monkey Years - perhaps White Album moods, masteries, & ranges from pastoral to cataclysmic are par for the course...Jumpin' Jack Crash...nothing Gaylord & Todd Rundgren couldn't handle between them...
	8:21pm Scraps: So Relaxing Music! I'm anticipating Nice (Sydney) ...
	8:23pm Scraps: Later, I heard AP grudgingly admit that Skylarking was a good album.
	8:25pm melinda: Relaxing indeed!
	8:25pm Gaylord Fields: @Scraps: While AP is on the record as dreading his experience with Todd, he also admitted that the ends justified the means.
	8:26pm Cooh John: Hello Gaylord and listeners. C'est si bon. Great denouement for the winding down of the past week and gearing up for the week ahead.
	8:26pm glenn: not rumer willis?
	8:26pm Gaylord Fields: @melinda: That seems to be my mood right now.
	8:26pm P-90: This reminds me- I read somewhere that Rumer was set to release an all Bacharach-David album in October. Gotta catch up with that now...
	8:28pm Linda Lee: P-90. that sounds absolutely perfect.
	8:29pm Gaylord Fields: @P-90: Your hearsay about Rumer is true. The song I played is from that very long-player.
	8:29pm Gaylord Fields: @Cooh John: Welcome.
	8:29pm Gaylord Fields: @glenn: That is only speculation.
	8:30pm @sugarwolf@: @gaylord: would you say it is a Rumer rumour?
	8:30pm P-90: I was wondering...!
	8:31pm Mr C: Gaylord Have you heard the Elza Soares album singled out in Times Best of.. today? I have not.
	8:31pm Gaylord Fields: @Mr C: I haven't, but I must.
	8:32pm Uncle Michael: What a great Andy Williams track.
	8:32pm Slaboch: This might be the perfect song for the gentle steady snow we've got out here in Michigan tonight. Thanks Gaylord!
	8:33pm P-90: Man that cat had a solid set of pipes
	8:33pm Cooh John: Love me some Andy Williams every so often.
	8:33pm Gaylord Fields: @Slaboch: We just had a dusting of snow here in the Windy Apple, so that's my mood too!
	8:33pm chris_in_space: Hey @Gaylord and peeps. Andy Williams is killin' me now, and it ain't even his Christmas record(s).
	8:34pm unpopularfred: Ooooooooooooh! Andy hits those high notes
	8:34pm Gaylord Fields: @Uncle Michael @P-90: I simply love that guy's voice. He's a whole lot better than the package he usually comes wrapped in.
	8:35pm chris_in_space: @Gaylord Fields @Uncle Micheal @P-90 you could say Andy was gifted
	8:36pm Cooh John: Love hanging out @ Lounge Gaylord
	8:36pm Linda Lee: only a dusting down in town? we'll have about a foot on the ground by tomorrow night ~ catskills
	8:37pm Gaylord Fields: @chris_in_space: And those are pretty swell in their own right.
	8:38pm P-90: Andy was gifted but also very polished, one of the last of a vanishing breed of 20th century male torch singers, "crooners" if you must
	8:38pm Uncle Michael: And he gave us the Osmonds.
	8:39pm Mr C: a perfectly classic Gaylord set right here..
	8:40pm still b/p: Andy and such make good mood/mode music to prep me for the Perry Como Christmas in Austria TV Special from 1976, which I expect I'll watch a bit of later this evening -- but I'll keep this Gaylord show on. Recently saw some of Perry's early 80s Xmas in Paris show. Awful!
	8:41pm Gaylord Fields: Thanks, Mr C!
	8:41pm Cooh John: Right, P-90. All these talent shows eschew those singers who bring it low and slow.
	8:41pm glenn: and the osmonds gave us crazy horses. thanks, andy.
	8:41pm Webhamster Henry: Of all the Gaylord Fields' in the world, Gaylord Fields, you're the Gaylord Fieldsiest.
	8:42pm Cooh John: ;) cheri
	8:42pm chris_in_space: The question now, as always, is, what in the f will Gaylord play out of this?
	8:45pm Gaylord Fields: @Webhamster Henry: To quote Kid Koala, "I gotta rock."
	8:46pm Gaylord Fields: @chris_in_space: Most of the time, I don't even know! ;-)
	8:50pm unpopularfred: That's what I love about WFMU, you can hear all sorts of wild, crazy and transgresive music (and I mean all those words positively), but you can also find out which are the good Perry Como Christmas specials.
	8:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: You probably know, but: 'Crooner' is a whole Genre - a whole Way of Singing. The electric microphone meant you could 'whisper' directly to people - not have to resonate thru a whole hall. The equivalent of Guitar going Electric, now I think of it. (The Guitar used to be thot of as an intimate parlor thang - not heavy enuff for Orchestra, what have you. Segovia determined to overthrow that, already...) Bing Crosby generally credited as the Revolutionary here - right before Frankie...& many in Pop & Rawk carry it on - like Jim Morrison (who could also scream & bellow - & all modulated on demand): considerably unpopular these here parts - but frankly in my Top10 Vocalists...
	8:54pm common: gaylord, all
	8:56pm Gaylord Fields: @common: common.
	8:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I'm old enuff to remember being Modernist - & hostile to Sinatra (as he often was to Rawk). I vocally made fun of him - then gradually realized there was affection & imitation in that - which is the way of these things, isn't it? That is: I dig Crooners.
	8:56pm Carmichael: Way late to the big dance. Glad to see it's a wonderful boogie party.
	8:57pm northguineahills: Nice Some Velvet Morning cover....!
	8:58pm Linda Lee: amazing cover. is the language Chinese?
	8:58pm alias pail: whuuuu this cover is crazy! never heard this! amazing thanks!
	8:59pm Webhamster Henry: You've finally beaten my oft-played robotic cover of Some Velvet Morning!
	8:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Someone said this is about smack. (?) Pastoral & cataclysmic.
	8:59pm Gaylord Fields: @Linda Lee: Yes.
	9:00pm Cooh John: ethereal
	9:00pm unpopularfred: There's a new person in the office named Phaedra and I get this song in my head whenever i walk past her desk.
	9:01pm alias pail: named my cat phaedra cuz of that song. there i said it
	9:02pm Linda Lee: just now trying to work out the connection between heroin & the myth of Phaedra ..
	9:02pm Linda Lee: great name for a cat, for sure!
	9:04pm alias pail: @rabbit thought its about the greek mythology about phaedra and hippolytus
	9:05pm Carmichael: You mean Manson Bobby Beusoleil? Whoa ..,
	9:06pm unpopularfred: Yhe name of Joe's show will come to you as soon as you play a record with some surface noise
	9:06pm Gaylord Fields: @alias Pail: Lotta good versions, but that one is my fave.
	9:08pm Linda Lee: he does reference the name phaedra .. but 'how she gave me life /and how she made it end' .. ?? def sounds like addiction
	9:08pm Gaylord Fields: @Carmichael: Yes. And yes, I do wash my hands after I take that disc out of the player.
	9:09pm Linda Lee: i hear Elliott Smith pretty strongly in this Scritti Politti ..
	9:09pm common: thank you so much for dr. abernathy gaylord! one of my favorites! makes my night
	9:10pm Gaylord Fields: @common: That makes me happy.
	9:10pm common: @gaylord: me too
	9:11pm Gaylord Fields: @unpopularfred: Yeah, the name will surface once I'm not listening to this noise.
	9:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Elliot x Jellyfish. Interesting.
	9:12pm Listening Out There: Evening from the left coast....
	9:12pm Eric Hat: Just realized Scritti Politti is like a bizarro Seals and Crofts.
	9:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Scott Miller?...
	9:13pm Gaylord Fields: @Listening Out There: Thanks for waving to us from in front of the sunset.
	9:15pm Gaylord Fields: @cheri: Same to you.
	9:17pm Scraps: i shoulda known the high llamas were poking around the sound this set
	9:17pm Ken From Hyde Park: There must be at least four different ways to interpret the name The High Llamas.
	9:17pm Linda Lee: oh dear, should i worry about overposting? i can get pretty chatty
	9:21pm Gaylord Fields: @Linda Lee: Never worry! You're a welcomed guest in my house, and your comfort is my business!
	9:21pm Carmichael: I have been studying those freaks (Manson followers) in regard to their musical inclinations and what went wrong where. I have no clear or easy answers...
	9:21pm Scraps: this is so good too.... sigh
	9:22pm Carmichael: @eric hat: Ha, you may be right!
	9:25pm Gaylord Fields: @eric hat: I agree with @Carmichael — that's a pretty sharp assessment.
	9:26pm Scraps: now Mwng is running through my head
	9:26pm Philthy woman: LoOOVIN this Gayllord. Thanky
	9:26pm melinda: @Ken: for some reason it didn't occur to me that the llamas might be high on weed, I just pictured llamas in the Andes at a high altitude. Silly me.
	9:27pm Linda Lee: thank you Gaylord!!! enjoying the hospitality!!
	9:27pm Gaylord Fields: @Philthy woman: Thanks!
	9:28pm @sugarwolf@: I've met llamas, but never high ones.
	9:28pm Gaylord Fields: @Linda Lee: I'm glad you asked, so I can reassure you that I really appreciate your presence and your contributions to this board.
	9:28pm Linda Lee: melinda ~ i'm thinkin llamas as spiritual teachers, not the animals. but i think the double L is for the animals .. !
	9:28pm Scraps: Wow.
	9:28pm Ken From Hyde Park: @melinda - Yeah, and then some holy lamas from Tibet that are in the mountains or getting high.
	9:29pm Scraps: (for the music)
	9:29pm Gaylord Fields: @@sugarwolf@ Remember to follow high-altitude baking instructions.
	9:30pm Linda Lee: thank you Mr. Fields! it's great to be a guest!
	9:30pm Eric Hat: Right? And I love both of those outfits!
	9:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Folks - I struggle constantly w/ OverPosting disorder. It's in the screen & eye of the beholder (a lynch mob is a 'Democracy', after all). @ 1st I didn't understand how my literal over-enthusiasm could be turning others off from Commenting. Leave space for others - try & keep the signal-to-noise ratio high : respect the DJ & the music & the topics @ hand in the thread: listen & read as well as post...I figure it's Ultimately up to the DJ - as he/she is the Programmer & gets to say what's what (& there are in fact a couple I completely leave alone). Another thing is: It's Community - but not necessarily Therapy. People support each other - but it's also about Music Entertainment here - the toybox of Life. Perhaps going to a Party to get Help isn't always the most effective strategy. @Carmichael: Lennon observed that a.) Manson was 'cracked'. - & b.) He made some valid observations: society had rejected those people, & he took them in. I observe that Manson is held up as the inevitable Dark Side of the Hippies - but he was Older - close to Elvis' age - & had spent most of his life in Institutions & the rest of it w/ abusive step-fathers & such. Therefore - he's a product of that : he's Theirs, not Ours! Julian Cope observed that everyone freaked over Manson's small handful of murders - while Kissinger conducted illegal war. Also true.
	9:35pm @sugarwolf@: Llamas can be spiritual teachers too! Or maybe just alpacas.
	9:36pm melinda: Good point about Manson, RevRabbit.
	9:36pm Eric Hat: ^^^average listeners' post length ^^^
	9:39pm Eric Hat: Exalted Alpacas
	9:39pm Scraps: i feel that one can be horrified by both Kissinger and Manson, and many are.
	9:39pm Linda Lee: Rev ~ looking for consistent delineation of good & evil in commercial institutions really gets us nowhere.
	9:42pm Linda Lee: there's no actual morality there.
	9:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I mean - Manson grew up in jail.
	9:48pm axlotl: OK, just came from a Bed=Stuy Popeye's, so my limit is low, but this is beautiful/
	9:48pm Scraps: This has been a beautiful two hours of music. Thanks so much.
	9:49pm Gaylord Fields: @axlotl: Not sure what one has to do with the other, but I'm glad you're here.
	9:49pm Scraps: Love Baden Powell, too. Man.
	9:50pm axlotl: Live experiences. Thanks for the tunes.
	9:52pm Linda Lee: listening hard, one hears Sir Paul for sure!
	9:54pm Linda Lee: oh my dear, those flat notes hurt. i'm sorry, Ms Wood ..
	9:54pm Cooh John: Thanks Gaylord for sending me off to nod in a relaxed state.
	9:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for the music tonight, Gaylord. Enjoy the second half of the football game!
	9:56pm Gaylord Fields: @Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for not spoiling the game! @everyone else: Thank you for all the great conversation!
	9:56pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the good you've done my savage breast, Gaylord.
	9:56pm maggiemaggie: Thanks Gaylord for the great soundtrack to Sunday night, as always!
	9:57pm P-90: Thanks, Santa Fields!
	9:58pm @sugarwolf@: yay transitional moment!
	9:58pm P-90: In showbiz, this is called "vamping"
	9:58pm @sugarwolf@: yay transitional moment!
	9:58pm Faye: GUYS IM TEARING UP HERE
	10:00pm Ken From Hyde Park: No spoiler, I!

Sun. Dec 22nd, 3pm - 5pm: The Unsolicited Return of the Winter Soul-stice (fill-in for Paul Bruno) (More info...)
You can't stop the seasons from turning, and you evidently also can't stop an old dog from performing his one old trick. Answering the teeming clamor of one New York Times food columnist , Gaylord Fields is returning to WFMU's airwaves for a one-off Winter Soul-stice program. In his time away he's learned nothing, so the format will remain the same: two hours of original 1960s soul 45s, and the abuse of an expensive reverb machine for the sake of corny vocal effects.

December 11, 2016: Or Between Hampton and Falmouth

	8:56pm Carmichael: Way late to the big dance. Glad to see it's a wonderful boogie party.
	8:57pm northguineahills: Nice Some Velvet Morning cover....!
	8:58pm Linda Lee: amazing cover. is the language Chinese?
	8:58pm alias pail: whuuuu this cover is crazy! never heard this! amazing thanks!
	8:59pm Webhamster Henry: You've finally beaten my oft-played robotic cover of Some Velvet Morning!
	8:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Someone said this is about smack. (?) Pastoral & cataclysmic.
	8:59pm Gaylord Fields: @Linda Lee: Yes.
	9:00pm Cooh John: ethereal
	9:00pm unpopularfred: There's a new person in the office named Phaedra and I get this song in my head whenever i walk past her desk.
	9:01pm alias pail: named my cat phaedra cuz of that song. there i said it
	9:02pm Linda Lee: just now trying to work out the connection between heroin & the myth of Phaedra ..
	9:02pm Linda Lee: great name for a cat, for sure!
	9:04pm alias pail: @rabbit thought its about the greek mythology about phaedra and hippolytus
	9:05pm Carmichael: You mean Manson Bobby Beusoleil? Whoa ..,
	9:06pm unpopularfred: Yhe name of Joe's show will come to you as soon as you play a record with some surface noise
	9:06pm Gaylord Fields: @alias Pail: Lotta good versions, but that one is my fave.
	9:08pm Linda Lee: he does reference the name phaedra .. but 'how she gave me life /and how she made it end' .. ?? def sounds like addiction
	9:08pm Gaylord Fields: @Carmichael: Yes. And yes, I do wash my hands after I take that disc out of the player.
	9:09pm Linda Lee: i hear Elliott Smith pretty strongly in this Scritti Politti ..
	9:09pm common: thank you so much for dr. abernathy gaylord! one of my favorites! makes my night
	9:10pm Gaylord Fields: @common: That makes me happy.
	9:10pm common: @gaylord: me too
	9:11pm Gaylord Fields: @unpopularfred: Yeah, the name will surface once I'm not listening to this noise.
	9:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Elliot x Jellyfish. Interesting.
	9:12pm Listening Out There: Evening from the left coast....
	9:12pm Eric Hat: Just realized Scritti Politti is like a bizarro Seals and Crofts.
	9:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Scott Miller?...
	9:13pm Gaylord Fields: @Listening Out There: Thanks for waving to us from in front of the sunset.
	9:15pm Gaylord Fields: @cheri: Same to you.
	9:17pm Scraps: i shoulda known the high llamas were poking around the sound this set
	9:17pm Ken From Hyde Park: There must be at least four different ways to interpret the name The High Llamas.
	9:17pm Linda Lee: oh dear, should i worry about overposting? i can get pretty chatty
	9:21pm Gaylord Fields: @Linda Lee: Never worry! You're a welcomed guest in my house, and your comfort is my business!
	9:21pm Carmichael: I have been studying those freaks (Manson followers) in regard to their musical inclinations and what went wrong where. I have no clear or easy answers...
	9:21pm Scraps: this is so good too.... sigh
	9:22pm Carmichael: @eric hat: Ha, you may be right!
	9:25pm Gaylord Fields: @eric hat: I agree with @Carmichael — that's a pretty sharp assessment.
	9:26pm Scraps: now Mwng is running through my head
	9:26pm Philthy woman: LoOOVIN this Gayllord. Thanky
	9:26pm melinda: @Ken: for some reason it didn't occur to me that the llamas might be high on weed, I just pictured llamas in the Andes at a high altitude. Silly me.
	9:27pm Linda Lee: thank you Gaylord!!! enjoying the hospitality!!
	9:27pm Gaylord Fields: @Philthy woman: Thanks!
	9:28pm @sugarwolf@: I've met llamas, but never high ones.
	9:28pm Gaylord Fields: @Linda Lee: I'm glad you asked, so I can reassure you that I really appreciate your presence and your contributions to this board.
	9:28pm Linda Lee: melinda ~ i'm thinkin llamas as spiritual teachers, not the animals. but i think the double L is for the animals .. !
	9:28pm Scraps: Wow.
	9:28pm Ken From Hyde Park: @melinda - Yeah, and then some holy lamas from Tibet that are in the mountains or getting high.
	9:29pm Scraps: (for the music)
	9:29pm Gaylord Fields: @@sugarwolf@ Remember to follow high-altitude baking instructions.
	9:30pm Linda Lee: thank you Mr. Fields! it's great to be a guest!
	9:30pm Eric Hat: Right? And I love both of those outfits!
	9:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Folks - I struggle constantly w/ OverPosting disorder. It's in the screen & eye of the beholder (a lynch mob is a 'Democracy', after all). @ 1st I didn't understand how my literal over-enthusiasm could be turning others off from Commenting. Leave space for others - try & keep the signal-to-noise ratio high : respect the DJ & the music & the topics @ hand in the thread: listen & read as well as post...I figure it's Ultimately up to the DJ - as he/she is the Programmer & gets to say what's what (& there are in fact a couple I completely leave alone). Another thing is: It's Community - but not necessarily Therapy. People support each other - but it's also about Music Entertainment here - the toybox of Life. Perhaps going to a Party to get Help isn't always the most effective strategy. @Carmichael: Lennon observed that a.) Manson was 'cracked'. - & b.) He made some valid observations: society had rejected those people, & he took them in. I observe that Manson is held up as the inevitable Dark Side of the Hippies - but he was Older - close to Elvis' age - & had spent most of his life in Institutions & the rest of it w/ abusive step-fathers & such. Therefore - he's a product of that : he's Theirs, not Ours! Julian Cope observed that everyone freaked over Manson's small handful of murders - while Kissinger conducted illegal war. Also true.
	9:35pm @sugarwolf@: Llamas can be spiritual teachers too! Or maybe just alpacas.
	9:36pm melinda: Good point about Manson, RevRabbit.
	9:36pm Eric Hat: ^^^average listeners' post length ^^^
	9:39pm Eric Hat: Exalted Alpacas
	9:39pm Scraps: i feel that one can be horrified by both Kissinger and Manson, and many are.
	9:39pm Linda Lee: Rev ~ looking for consistent delineation of good & evil in commercial institutions really gets us nowhere.
	9:42pm Linda Lee: there's no actual morality there.
	9:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I mean - Manson grew up in jail.
	9:48pm axlotl: OK, just came from a Bed=Stuy Popeye's, so my limit is low, but this is beautiful/
	9:48pm Scraps: This has been a beautiful two hours of music. Thanks so much.
	9:49pm Gaylord Fields: @axlotl: Not sure what one has to do with the other, but I'm glad you're here.
	9:49pm Scraps: Love Baden Powell, too. Man.
	9:50pm axlotl: Live experiences. Thanks for the tunes.
	9:52pm Linda Lee: listening hard, one hears Sir Paul for sure!
	9:54pm Linda Lee: oh my dear, those flat notes hurt. i'm sorry, Ms Wood ..
	9:54pm Cooh John: Thanks Gaylord for sending me off to nod in a relaxed state.
	9:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for the music tonight, Gaylord. Enjoy the second half of the football game!
	9:56pm Gaylord Fields: @Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for not spoiling the game! @everyone else: Thank you for all the great conversation!
	9:56pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the good you've done my savage breast, Gaylord.
	9:56pm maggiemaggie: Thanks Gaylord for the great soundtrack to Sunday night, as always!
	9:57pm P-90: Thanks, Santa Fields!
	9:58pm @sugarwolf@: yay transitional moment!
	9:58pm P-90: In showbiz, this is called "vamping"
	9:58pm @sugarwolf@: yay transitional moment!
