	3:08pm coelacanth: i hear the oom-pah; it's just way down in the mix.
	3:08pm wfmu listener phillip: this is a joke? right? 3 hours of rammistein.
	3:11pm Undead83: @wfmu listener phillip It's not going to be Rammstein, but german free jazz I guess
	3:12pm coelacanth∅: rest in peace Jaki.
	3:12pm coelacanth∅: - and Peter Overend Watts...
	3:13pm wfmu listner phillip: ok then. im coming down off of the ledge. fabio! im coming down off the ledge of my 10 story apt building.
	3:13pm psysci: id like to share my story about rammestein. I was driving on the autobahn to berlin and Amerika came on the radio the first time i ever heard that song WUNDABAR
	3:15pm chocolate monk: jaki was one of the best
	3:16pm ɨkɛ: Aw @Phillip, don't you know by now that Chris M. is never serious about anything? I even asked him, "Does it drive Fabio crazy when you say this stuff?" and he totally doubled down and said something like "I'm just reading off the sheet Fabio hands out!" Totally straight-faced. It was hilarious.
	3:16pm psysci: the metronome will be missed. i feel out of synch for sure.
	3:17pm V Priceless: yeah, poor Overend....a Glam god if there ever was one.
	👻 3:18pm Rev. Turnip Druid: [is wheeled in by unpaid interns, propped up against a reeking pile of forgotten dreams]
	👻 3:22pm Rev. Turnip Druid: This is lovely. Been meaning to ask if any of this free-jazz Jaki was around somewhere. Haven't heard before.
	3:23pm dale: awww, the softer side of fabio
	3:24pm Polyus: All you need is looks and charm!
	3:24pm Rich in Washington: weird to hear these extra verses to the MTMS. But the bits about fealty to Beelzebub are something else!
	👻 3:24pm BLCKDGRD: Husker Du version next please !
	3:25pm Rich in Washington: where's the kitten's meow?
	3:25pm dale: i heard a joan jet version this morning - didn't care for it.
	3:25pm ɨkɛ: @RiW@3:24, LOLOLOLOL
	👻 3:26pm Rev. Turnip Druid: AUMGN changed my life; first heard it at a freakishly young age. Played it daily for about a year.
	👻 3:28pm Rev. Turnip Druid: To this day, that tune brings back the ghostly smell of being 10/11 yrs old.
	3:31pm Polyus: I had not seen the MTM Show since my childhood in the 70s, and I have to admit that I forgot how many talented people were part of that cast.
	3:33pm eye in the sky: I had a crush on Ted's girlfriend!
	3:34pm Guido from Cologne: hello people
	3:35pm that guy: The Mary Tyler Moore show always freaked me out when I was zooted. Yikes!
	3:35pm Cecile: I loved the MTM show. Great writing and acting. And I aspire to the Mary/Rhoda friendship in my life.
	👻 3:36pm Rev. Turnip Druid: My cherished "Mary" show was Hartman, Hartman. But yes. MTM was righteous.
	3:36pm Cecile: Georgette? They gave her some of the best lines. She was wonderful.
	3:37pm coelacanth∅: Georgette was the secret weapon.
	3:37pm βrian: I told Mom that if a beaded doorway was good enough for Rhoda, we should have one, too.
	3:38pm Rich in Washington: when news broke of Mary's passing, I had for some reason thought that maybe all the primary cast of that show - other than Betty White - had all been dead now, but almost every one of them - save Ted Knight, Mary, are all alive.
	3:39pm eye in the sky: Georgette! Cute as a button also very hot!
	3:40pm βrian: Wow, Ed Asner is still kicking? That's good to hear.
	3:40pm that guy: Yeah Georgette was smokin hawt... (did I just make a sexist?)
	3:42pm dale: valerie harper is still alive
	3:42pm Anonymous Coward: "A little song, A little dance, A little seltzer down your pants..."
	3:42pm Rich in Washington: AHA! I thought so! It seemed like when I looked her up on Wikipedia, I thought it said she was still around. I do remember that, but I remember a lot of celebrities dying who didn't.
	3:43pm Rich in Washington: Maybe we're all thinking of her character on that post-mary sitcom, where the execs killer her off.
	3:43pm Fabio: Seems I was mistaken. She WAS very ill though...
	👻 3:44pm Rev. Turnip Druid: these days, man, we're all just searching for our blood flow.
	3:44pm Rich in Washington: It was a hoax, or maybe she died in the parallel reality timeline we jumped tracks off of and onto this one en.mediamass.net...
	3:46pm Rich in Washington: I am often nonplussed to hear that some celebrity died and I SWEAR I heard they died years previously. How does that happen?
	3:47pm Cecile: Valerie Harper is hanging in there. they gave her months to live a while back, and she is beating the odds.
	3:47pm Rich in Washington: It's like that phenomenon where millennials are insisting that the comedian Sinbad starred in a movie about a Genie. They even profess vivid memories of seeing it, holding the VHS box, etc., yet the movie does not exist.
	3:49pm Gary Showbiz: this track is incredible
	3:49pm ɨkɛ: DAMMIT! "Shazaam" is a REAL MOVIE! I swear I saw the ads! Or at least I could've sworn I did. This is definitely a problem with the space-time continuum.
	3:52pm Cliff in Prague: Of course Sinbad was in that genie movie, what're you guys talking about
	3:53pm eye in the sky: Ed Asner is one of the most courageous people on earth and if you don't know what I mean - look it up and study the subject intensely.
	3:55pm Rich in Washington: Uh, oh! Spatial rift coming..! Oh look! Nazi zeppelins...
	3:56pm mary: michael rother is he, himself awesome
	3:57pm Cliff in Prague: And they retconned the spelling of the Berenstein Bears to "Berenstain", those reality-warping bastards
	3:57pm Corn silk: Failure today--failure these past few weeks--failure to meet new employer (a-hole) expectations.
	3:58pm ɨkɛ: www.news.com.au...
	4:01pm spodiodi: Was Sinbad in Grizzly Man?
	4:01pm Cecile: Fabio, can you play something noisy and punishing? Or "Are You Waiting for the Streetcar?"
	4:01pm dale: i liked the spinoff show 'lou' where he was an editor at a chicago paper. that had a good ensemble cast
	4:03pm dale: wasn't michael jordan a genie in a movie?
	4:04pm Cecile: Dale, I liked it when it was first on, but when I watched it later, it was awfully talky and heavy handed.
	4:04pm Guido from Cologne: I allways considered this one fro Michael Rother as a rip-off from "Sailing". Am I wrong? I personally prefer "Sterntaler" album.
	4:04pm spodiodi: I thought he played football or something
	4:05pm Parq: Hi gang. I just found out that a cow-worker of mine is a Negativeland fan. I feel like a lifeline's been thrown to me.
	4:05pm mary: I mean as well as Jaki Liebezeit. Thanks for playing their collaboration
	4:06pm Pascal Panelak: Afternoon all, could someone remind me of this Rother track? Beautiful stuff, had no idea about this. Great show and great tribute to Liebezeit.
	4:07pm Rich in Washington: Parq: That's always so great. Hang onto them. Don't let them quit on you. Actually got to share an office recently with someone with different, yet impeccable music taste. Both our worlds were expanded.
	4:07pm SeanG: Berrocal!
	4:09pm eye in the sky: Like all great drummers it's like you are hearing their brains working. Love it.
	4:09pm Dean: Shaq
	4:09pm Parq: Rich, if anything, that's even better. Congrats.
	4:09pm Richard: Nice!
	👻 4:11pm Rev. Turnip Druid: EEEEEEEEEEEEEENO.
	4:11pm dale: cow-worker - you work on a dairy parq?
	4:11pm spodiodi: dale said what I couldn't
	4:12pm mary: Your show today reminds me of the beautiful show you did in memory of Tony Conrad. Once I stood next to you, Fabio at one of Tony's performances in a club someplace in Manhattan. I recognized your voice in conversation w your companion. I was appropriately happy to see the voice attached to you... I miss Tony's work and wit so much. Thanks for your insight to JL's work
	👻 4:12pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Funny. I played through Eno's new one (reflections) a few times & was thinking "DAMN, i know this is supposed to be 'the ambient one' but it's really deep..." Then realized it was labelled for 45RPM.
	👻 4:13pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ...it wasn't that different, to be honest.
	4:13pm Parq: Oh, Dale, if only that was the worst mistake I've made today.
	👻 4:13pm Rev. Turnip Druid: BAMYASI. Favorite Can. Cheers.
	4:14pm Fabio: @ Mary: Thank you! But you should have said hello!
	4:15pm mary: Next time will
	4:15pm Fabio: @ Mary: ... and I miss Tony too, as do many of his fans and friends.
	4:15pm Guido from Cologne: Vitamin C is from one of the most surrealistic crime-series episodes of the 70ies
	4:15pm Polyus: I didn't know until this week that Jaki played on a Eurythmics record. Is that one pretty easy to come by?
	👻 4:16pm Rev. Turnip Druid: @Polyus: I see it often in the used bins in DC: "in the garden." ... great record.
	4:16pm Guido from Cologne: here it is: www.youtube.com...
	4:16pm drewo: I discovered Can through your show Fabio. Thanks.
	4:18pm Guido from Cologne: Uh, this was a little sensation at the time: Jah Wobble as a can quasi-re-union member.
	4:21pm Suzuki: How about life after Can? Phantoms&B.Friedman!
	👻 4:23pm Ken From Hyde Park: Dick Van Dyke is still around, too (age 91).
	4:24pm crateslinger: Dick Van Dyke - the original J.R. Bob Dobbs
	4:32pm Guido from Cologne: Do yóu have some Manfed Schoof? From Jaki's free jazz period.
	4:32pm spodiodi: Dick Van Dyke and Bob Dobbs sure do look alike
	4:37pm coelacanth∅: Collins was a superb drummer; and he did not want to sing at all but the other remaining members of genesis pushed him to... and he ran with the ball.
	👻 4:38pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Many attempts have been made to explain Phil Collins. I'm not sure it can be done.
	4:41pm ⓘⓚⓔ: His song about homeless people was one of the most wretchedly insipid pieces of drivel to ever plague top-40 radio, though well-intentioned. You have to admire the chutzpah, at least.
	4:41pm coelacanth∅: a derailment a la Dave Grohl, pre-Dave Grohl.
	👻 4:41pm Ken From Hyde Park: The day Phil flew the SST to perform both the London and Philadelphia venues of Live Aid in 1985 was peak Phil Collins.
	4:42pm Polyus: "not pure evil like Peter Cetera" is the best I can do. He did play on some good records though (Cale, Eno for examples).
	4:43pm Dean: Brand X, man, Brand X.
	4:43pm coelacanth∅: Ken, really?! -excellent use of resources...that could've been used to feed hungry people.
	👻 4:48pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Sing Swan perfect song.
	4:48pm Sem Chumbo: Probably promoting "In the Air Tonight", Coel. The bastard.
	4:53pm Clay!: Phil Collins - GREAT drummer.
	4:53pm Rich in Washington: I had to go to a meeting. Did we get this alternate reality plane thing sorted out?
	4:57pm Clay!: Pete Cetera - Great singer and bassist. Hall of Fame. Grand Funk needs be inducted next! Mystery ... will STeve Perry sing with Journey at their induction? Who will play bass for Yes? Can't be Greg Lake. Wetton?
	5:01pm Stanley: I had the misfortune to meet Phil Collins, once. I remember him being rude to me.
	5:01pm billf: Clay, I heard Mike Watt was gonna do it.
	5:02pm A.T.F.: Butch Trucks Deceased drummer..Hall of the famous...Boosts sales of stale artists of the past and things that are not rock..
	5:02pm Chris from DC: It Can't Happen Here is also selling well.
	👻 5:02pm Ken From Hyde Park: I wonder if listener Lyle ever jammed with his clarinet in a trio with Phil and Eubie Blake. I'm betting yes.
	5:02pm SHTUS: i heard 1984 was written in 1948 and orwell reversed the last two digits of the year
	5:05pm Dan: Is there a website for the concert, "anne gilles" ?
	5:05pm SHTUS: mushrooms and dmt nice combo
	5:09pm A.T.F.: Get lost in the k hole while on fungi Sit down..hold on..
	5:09pm Fox (Rā-chul): I love High Plains Drifter.
	5:10pm Chris from DC: His best western after the Leone films.
	5:11pm Polyus: @Clay, come ON, man! Cetera and David Foster are the unholy two-headed beast of corny.
	5:14pm A.T.F.: Corny...Ringos summer tour of hes beens...Shame on Ringo...
	5:15pm Fabio: @Dan: artistsspace.org...
	5:15pm coelacanth∅: Clay! @ 4:57 i can agree with you on NONE of that! even though i like(earlier) grand funk railroad. cetera's horribleness as a singer is only rivaled by a few. (mike love comes to mind...)
	5:15pm ɨkɛ: @Polyus, "corny" isn't a concept in Pidgeville. ;) Though he sure did try to pass himself off as someone with some modicum of taste during his morning show tryouts! Misrepresentation! Misrepresentation! If he gets the morning show, he'll be back to playing REO Speedwagon and the Eagles in no time flat! LOL.
	5:17pm coelacanth∅: chicago transit authority was pretty good at first, but gradually spoiled as cetera gained HIS authority.
	5:17pm Polyus: ha, I probably used the wrong word there, Ike. But I want to shove the two of them out a moving vehicle while yelling "WHO KILLED THE WORLD?!"
	5:18pm mary: Panique, the film at FForum is a very very beautiful film and genuinely suspenseful.I'm going to go again. Really...but I am a geek out member at FF. And have my geek out FMU "member" card that was sent to donors circa '15.
	5:18pm Polyus: (p.s., love ya Clay)
	5:18pm coelacanth∅: hey the eagles had at least 4 good songs. (hint: hotel california, which they plagiarized, is not one of them.)
	5:19pm A.T.F.: chicago kicks and was a double a no.no for your first..there only listenable product....
	5:19pm honolulu pat: fabio is the second coming of jesus
	5:21pm A.T.F.: Eagles most expensive ticket at saratoge 200...ouch.
	5:21pm coelacanth∅: (i dont know who david foster is and google's not telling me.)
	5:22pm coelacanth∅: i'd pay....nothing. that's as high as i'll go.
	5:25pm A.T.F.: Read it on spac facts Seen at the meadowlands....dont remember price...never again.
	5:25pm coelacanth∅: i'd pay to see grand funk though, as long as they promised to play only from "e pluribus funk" -back.
	5:26pm Fabio: @ Mary: Thanks for the info on Panique. going to try to catch it.
	5:27pm A.T.F.: Electric Hot Tuna SPAC 7/3 Plant your spores...
	5:28pm ɨkɛ: @coel∅@5:18: Well, they did that cool instrumental that was used as the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" TV theme song, but that was written by the bluegrass-loving guy who then left the band because it was getting too AOR, and that's why it's way better than all their other sludge.
	👻 5:29pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Wasn't that Paddy Kingsland, re: Hitchhiker's Guide theme?
	5:29pm common: good afternoon, fabio. everyone.
	👻 5:30pm Rev. Turnip Druid: or maybe Paddy was the electronic ambient room sounds & the background music to the book animations... ne'mind.
	5:30pm Dave in Vermont: Thanks for being there, Fabio.
	👻 5:31pm chris: holy crap on a cracker, great programming and curation, Fabio. grazie, maestro!
	5:31pm ugh: this music is perfect.
	5:32pm spodiodi: I agree with chris, nice one, Fabio.
	5:33pm ugh: thats why this guy has a DJ slot on the greatest radio station on the planet and we are all listening. respect.
	5:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Evening. The saddest reason for me to get better informed about the magnificent Can.
	5:36pm ugh: I do feel like his talk breaks go on a bit long, but it's like talking to an uncle or grandfather that friggin invented everything you think is cool. from the perspective of a 40 year old. Can can't fail.
	5:36pm common: must go back and listen to the archives for this one..
	5:37pm geezerette: Saw Delight / saw the light
	5:37pm ugh: you must, common. it's kind of my favorite fabio set ever, but then I always think that.
	5:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - yeah, I'ma just clicky☆ the episode before even hearing most of it. Not a common occurrence...common.
	5:40pm ugh: and when fabio would interact with clay pigeon. seems like a nice normal guy.
	👻 5:40pm Ken From Hyde Park: Note to Kenzo or whomever - There should be an option that you can choose to have the clicky-star make a clicky sound when you give it a clicky.
	5:41pm mary: @common et al, I heard the entire show and am going to archive to listen again. Savor.
	5:42pm ugh: clay pigeon seemed like a provocateur but I liked how fab played it so straight. a real fun contest.
	5:42pm coelacanth∅: ike, i don't know that track. at least i don't think i do. i'll check it out.
	5:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...or a woof or a moo...I'm good w/out it but okay... They're Bert & Ernie. It's gold.
	5:43pm ugh: quality entertainment goddamint
	5:44pm ugh: great way to put it for those of us who know who bert and ernie are. excellent metaphor.
	5:45pm common: ha! rev. @mary: i shall. @ugh: i love all of fabio's shows!
	5:46pm coelacanth∅: a single cow moo when you goldstar a song; a few cows when you goldstar an episode; and a deafening farm chorus when you goldstar a show.
	5:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: So - I've known Can when I hear them (& love it), & basically recognize the album titles (but not their distinctions). Not sufficient. & me a Julian Cope enthusiast: humiliating...
	5:47pm coelacanth∅: ...(but then i'd be constantly starring, un-starring, starring...)
	5:49pm ugh: http://vertebrates.si.edu/fishes/coelacanth/comoros_coelacanth_USNM.jpg
	5:50pm ugh: if that's not a wfmu worthy moment... what is?
	5:51pm TehBadDr: So happy to tune in at last to the end of the show after work Fabio! BTW does anybody else remember MTM as the hot Capri pant wearing wife if Dick Van Dykes stumbling comedy?
	5:52pm Carmichael: Tago Mago and Soundtracks are 2 of the most insanely cool albums ever.
	5:53pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): @Ken From Hyde Park: Just click it harder!
	5:54pm ugh: oh yeah now it's on.
	5:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& Can prompt the volume knob up... To me it's distinctly Lysergic - the hypnotic aspect & the duration - correlates more to the actual chemical psychedelic experience than a lot of so-called 'Psychedelic Music' (most of which I adore)... Strangley moved by MTM's passing - such an endearing character - both as Laura & as Mary in the 70s (when I really 'grew up'): Goodbye 20thCentury Goodbye...
	5:54pm V Priceless: Hey Clay played Ubu during his morning try-out!
	5:54pm Cecile: Sure do, TehBadDr
	5:54pm Dean: Jerzy Skolimowski
	5:55pm coelacanth∅: of course, Dr. then they changed the opening of the show and he scooted around the sofa he formerly stumbled over. we were so disappointed!
	5:55pm Dean: Was thinking Grotowski.
	5:56pm ugh: the second drummer died...
	5:56pm Dean: Steve Turre has a pretty remarkable discography.
	5:56pm Cecile: Butch Morris was, I think?
	5:57pm V Priceless: Buffon gone too
	5:57pm coelacanth∅: Trucks was also an excellent drummer. -not just good.
	5:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Carl Reiner - hipsters. Course she wore Capris - she was a CapriCorn...
	5:57pm chocolate monk: grachan moncure III
	5:57pm Cecile: Kai Winding
	5:57pm ugh: tfw when a pavement reference is mainstream given the context.
	5:57pm mosquito: Buffin passed away last year after a long decline. Rhythm sections dropping like flies.
	5:57pm Carmichael: Tom "Bones" Malone.
	5:57pm pat: herbie handcock
	5:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Old bad Jazz joke: Whadaya call a trombone player w/ an answering machine? - An optimist.
	5:58pm TehBadDr: Pigeon needs to listen to Bill Watrous!
	5:58pm mosquito: Play the husker du version
	5:58pm Dean: Ray Anderson
	5:58pm ugh: fab is getting aggro
	5:58pm dgg: wasted fabio coming home to watch mary tyler moore at 3am
	5:59pm Cecile: George Lewis
	5:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Fabio.
	5:59pm Cecile: Jimmy Knepper
	6:00pm Dean: Yeah, that George Lewis, not the other one.
	6:00pm TehBadDr: Is Fabio leaving tonight?
	6:00pm coelacanth∅: i know 3 'bone players. it's not rare.
	10:34pm tahomajohn: love your shows Fabio! keep on keepin' on:)

	3:17pm V Priceless: yeah, poor Overend....a Glam god if there ever was one.
	👻 3:18pm Rev. Turnip Druid: [is wheeled in by unpaid interns, propped up against a reeking pile of forgotten dreams]
	👻 3:22pm Rev. Turnip Druid: This is lovely. Been meaning to ask if any of this free-jazz Jaki was around somewhere. Haven't heard before.
	3:23pm dale: awww, the softer side of fabio
	3:24pm Polyus: All you need is looks and charm!
	3:24pm Rich in Washington: weird to hear these extra verses to the MTMS. But the bits about fealty to Beelzebub are something else!
	👻 3:24pm BLCKDGRD: Husker Du version next please !
	3:25pm Rich in Washington: where's the kitten's meow?
	3:25pm dale: i heard a joan jet version this morning - didn't care for it.
	3:25pm ɨkɛ: @RiW@3:24, LOLOLOLOL
	👻 3:26pm Rev. Turnip Druid: AUMGN changed my life; first heard it at a freakishly young age. Played it daily for about a year.
	👻 3:28pm Rev. Turnip Druid: To this day, that tune brings back the ghostly smell of being 10/11 yrs old.
	3:31pm Polyus: I had not seen the MTM Show since my childhood in the 70s, and I have to admit that I forgot how many talented people were part of that cast.
	3:33pm eye in the sky: I had a crush on Ted's girlfriend!
	3:34pm Guido from Cologne: hello people
	3:35pm that guy: The Mary Tyler Moore show always freaked me out when I was zooted. Yikes!
	3:35pm Cecile: I loved the MTM show. Great writing and acting. And I aspire to the Mary/Rhoda friendship in my life.
	👻 3:36pm Rev. Turnip Druid: My cherished "Mary" show was Hartman, Hartman. But yes. MTM was righteous.
	3:36pm Cecile: Georgette? They gave her some of the best lines. She was wonderful.
	3:37pm coelacanth∅: Georgette was the secret weapon.
	3:37pm βrian: I told Mom that if a beaded doorway was good enough for Rhoda, we should have one, too.
	3:38pm Rich in Washington: when news broke of Mary's passing, I had for some reason thought that maybe all the primary cast of that show - other than Betty White - had all been dead now, but almost every one of them - save Ted Knight, Mary, are all alive.
	3:39pm eye in the sky: Georgette! Cute as a button also very hot!
	3:40pm βrian: Wow, Ed Asner is still kicking? That's good to hear.
	3:40pm that guy: Yeah Georgette was smokin hawt... (did I just make a sexist?)
	3:42pm dale: valerie harper is still alive
	3:42pm Anonymous Coward: "A little song, A little dance, A little seltzer down your pants..."
	3:42pm Rich in Washington: AHA! I thought so! It seemed like when I looked her up on Wikipedia, I thought it said she was still around. I do remember that, but I remember a lot of celebrities dying who didn't.
	3:43pm Rich in Washington: Maybe we're all thinking of her character on that post-mary sitcom, where the execs killer her off.
	3:43pm Fabio: Seems I was mistaken. She WAS very ill though...
	👻 3:44pm Rev. Turnip Druid: these days, man, we're all just searching for our blood flow.
	3:44pm Rich in Washington: It was a hoax, or maybe she died in the parallel reality timeline we jumped tracks off of and onto this one en.mediamass.net...
	3:46pm Rich in Washington: I am often nonplussed to hear that some celebrity died and I SWEAR I heard they died years previously. How does that happen?
	3:47pm Cecile: Valerie Harper is hanging in there. they gave her months to live a while back, and she is beating the odds.
	3:47pm Rich in Washington: It's like that phenomenon where millennials are insisting that the comedian Sinbad starred in a movie about a Genie. They even profess vivid memories of seeing it, holding the VHS box, etc., yet the movie does not exist.
	3:49pm Gary Showbiz: this track is incredible
	3:49pm ɨkɛ: DAMMIT! "Shazaam" is a REAL MOVIE! I swear I saw the ads! Or at least I could've sworn I did. This is definitely a problem with the space-time continuum.
	3:52pm Cliff in Prague: Of course Sinbad was in that genie movie, what're you guys talking about
	3:53pm eye in the sky: Ed Asner is one of the most courageous people on earth and if you don't know what I mean - look it up and study the subject intensely.
	3:55pm Rich in Washington: Uh, oh! Spatial rift coming..! Oh look! Nazi zeppelins...
	3:56pm mary: michael rother is he, himself awesome
	3:57pm Cliff in Prague: And they retconned the spelling of the Berenstein Bears to "Berenstain", those reality-warping bastards
	3:57pm Corn silk: Failure today--failure these past few weeks--failure to meet new employer (a-hole) expectations.
	3:58pm ɨkɛ: www.news.com.au...
	4:01pm spodiodi: Was Sinbad in Grizzly Man?
	4:01pm Cecile: Fabio, can you play something noisy and punishing? Or "Are You Waiting for the Streetcar?"
	4:01pm dale: i liked the spinoff show 'lou' where he was an editor at a chicago paper. that had a good ensemble cast
	4:03pm dale: wasn't michael jordan a genie in a movie?
	4:04pm Cecile: Dale, I liked it when it was first on, but when I watched it later, it was awfully talky and heavy handed.
	4:04pm Guido from Cologne: I allways considered this one fro Michael Rother as a rip-off from "Sailing". Am I wrong? I personally prefer "Sterntaler" album.
	4:04pm spodiodi: I thought he played football or something
	4:05pm Parq: Hi gang. I just found out that a cow-worker of mine is a Negativeland fan. I feel like a lifeline's been thrown to me.
	4:05pm mary: I mean as well as Jaki Liebezeit. Thanks for playing their collaboration
	4:06pm Pascal Panelak: Afternoon all, could someone remind me of this Rother track? Beautiful stuff, had no idea about this. Great show and great tribute to Liebezeit.
	4:07pm Rich in Washington: Parq: That's always so great. Hang onto them. Don't let them quit on you. Actually got to share an office recently with someone with different, yet impeccable music taste. Both our worlds were expanded.
	4:07pm SeanG: Berrocal!
	4:09pm eye in the sky: Like all great drummers it's like you are hearing their brains working. Love it.
	4:09pm Dean: Shaq
	4:09pm Parq: Rich, if anything, that's even better. Congrats.
	4:09pm Richard: Nice!
	👻 4:11pm Rev. Turnip Druid: EEEEEEEEEEEEEENO.
	4:11pm dale: cow-worker - you work on a dairy parq?
	4:11pm spodiodi: dale said what I couldn't
	4:12pm mary: Your show today reminds me of the beautiful show you did in memory of Tony Conrad. Once I stood next to you, Fabio at one of Tony's performances in a club someplace in Manhattan. I recognized your voice in conversation w your companion. I was appropriately happy to see the voice attached to you... I miss Tony's work and wit so much. Thanks for your insight to JL's work
	👻 4:12pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Funny. I played through Eno's new one (reflections) a few times & was thinking "DAMN, i know this is supposed to be 'the ambient one' but it's really deep..." Then realized it was labelled for 45RPM.
	👻 4:13pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ...it wasn't that different, to be honest.
	4:13pm Parq: Oh, Dale, if only that was the worst mistake I've made today.
	👻 4:13pm Rev. Turnip Druid: BAMYASI. Favorite Can. Cheers.
	4:14pm Fabio: @ Mary: Thank you! But you should have said hello!
	4:15pm mary: Next time will
	4:15pm Fabio: @ Mary: ... and I miss Tony too, as do many of his fans and friends.
	4:15pm Guido from Cologne: Vitamin C is from one of the most surrealistic crime-series episodes of the 70ies
	4:15pm Polyus: I didn't know until this week that Jaki played on a Eurythmics record. Is that one pretty easy to come by?
	👻 4:16pm Rev. Turnip Druid: @Polyus: I see it often in the used bins in DC: "in the garden." ... great record.
	4:16pm Guido from Cologne: here it is: www.youtube.com...
	4:16pm drewo: I discovered Can through your show Fabio. Thanks.
	4:18pm Guido from Cologne: Uh, this was a little sensation at the time: Jah Wobble as a can quasi-re-union member.
	4:21pm Suzuki: How about life after Can? Phantoms&B.Friedman!
	👻 4:23pm Ken From Hyde Park: Dick Van Dyke is still around, too (age 91).
	4:24pm crateslinger: Dick Van Dyke - the original J.R. Bob Dobbs
	4:32pm Guido from Cologne: Do yóu have some Manfed Schoof? From Jaki's free jazz period.
	4:32pm spodiodi: Dick Van Dyke and Bob Dobbs sure do look alike
	4:37pm coelacanth∅: Collins was a superb drummer; and he did not want to sing at all but the other remaining members of genesis pushed him to... and he ran with the ball.
	👻 4:38pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Many attempts have been made to explain Phil Collins. I'm not sure it can be done.
	4:41pm ⓘⓚⓔ: His song about homeless people was one of the most wretchedly insipid pieces of drivel to ever plague top-40 radio, though well-intentioned. You have to admire the chutzpah, at least.
	4:41pm coelacanth∅: a derailment a la Dave Grohl, pre-Dave Grohl.
	👻 4:41pm Ken From Hyde Park: The day Phil flew the SST to perform both the London and Philadelphia venues of Live Aid in 1985 was peak Phil Collins.
	4:42pm Polyus: "not pure evil like Peter Cetera" is the best I can do. He did play on some good records though (Cale, Eno for examples).
	4:43pm Dean: Brand X, man, Brand X.
	4:43pm coelacanth∅: Ken, really?! -excellent use of resources...that could've been used to feed hungry people.
	👻 4:48pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Sing Swan perfect song.
	4:48pm Sem Chumbo: Probably promoting "In the Air Tonight", Coel. The bastard.
	4:53pm Clay!: Phil Collins - GREAT drummer.
	4:53pm Rich in Washington: I had to go to a meeting. Did we get this alternate reality plane thing sorted out?
	4:57pm Clay!: Pete Cetera - Great singer and bassist. Hall of Fame. Grand Funk needs be inducted next! Mystery ... will STeve Perry sing with Journey at their induction? Who will play bass for Yes? Can't be Greg Lake. Wetton?
	5:01pm Stanley: I had the misfortune to meet Phil Collins, once. I remember him being rude to me.
	5:01pm billf: Clay, I heard Mike Watt was gonna do it.
	5:02pm A.T.F.: Butch Trucks Deceased drummer..Hall of the famous...Boosts sales of stale artists of the past and things that are not rock..
	5:02pm Chris from DC: It Can't Happen Here is also selling well.
	👻 5:02pm Ken From Hyde Park: I wonder if listener Lyle ever jammed with his clarinet in a trio with Phil and Eubie Blake. I'm betting yes.
	5:02pm SHTUS: i heard 1984 was written in 1948 and orwell reversed the last two digits of the year
	5:05pm Dan: Is there a website for the concert, "anne gilles" ?
	5:05pm SHTUS: mushrooms and dmt nice combo
	5:09pm A.T.F.: Get lost in the k hole while on fungi Sit down..hold on..
	5:09pm Fox (Rā-chul): I love High Plains Drifter.
	5:10pm Chris from DC: His best western after the Leone films.
	5:11pm Polyus: @Clay, come ON, man! Cetera and David Foster are the unholy two-headed beast of corny.
	5:14pm A.T.F.: Corny...Ringos summer tour of hes beens...Shame on Ringo...
	5:15pm Fabio: @Dan: artistsspace.org...
	5:15pm coelacanth∅: Clay! @ 4:57 i can agree with you on NONE of that! even though i like(earlier) grand funk railroad. cetera's horribleness as a singer is only rivaled by a few. (mike love comes to mind...)
	5:15pm ɨkɛ: @Polyus, "corny" isn't a concept in Pidgeville. ;) Though he sure did try to pass himself off as someone with some modicum of taste during his morning show tryouts! Misrepresentation! Misrepresentation! If he gets the morning show, he'll be back to playing REO Speedwagon and the Eagles in no time flat! LOL.
	5:17pm coelacanth∅: chicago transit authority was pretty good at first, but gradually spoiled as cetera gained HIS authority.
	5:17pm Polyus: ha, I probably used the wrong word there, Ike. But I want to shove the two of them out a moving vehicle while yelling "WHO KILLED THE WORLD?!"
	5:18pm mary: Panique, the film at FForum is a very very beautiful film and genuinely suspenseful.I'm going to go again. Really...but I am a geek out member at FF. And have my geek out FMU "member" card that was sent to donors circa '15.
	5:18pm Polyus: (p.s., love ya Clay)
	5:18pm coelacanth∅: hey the eagles had at least 4 good songs. (hint: hotel california, which they plagiarized, is not one of them.)
	5:19pm A.T.F.: chicago kicks and was a double a no.no for your first..there only listenable product....
	5:19pm honolulu pat: fabio is the second coming of jesus
	5:21pm A.T.F.: Eagles most expensive ticket at saratoge 200...ouch.
	5:21pm coelacanth∅: (i dont know who david foster is and google's not telling me.)
	5:22pm coelacanth∅: i'd pay....nothing. that's as high as i'll go.
	5:25pm A.T.F.: Read it on spac facts Seen at the meadowlands....dont remember price...never again.
	5:25pm coelacanth∅: i'd pay to see grand funk though, as long as they promised to play only from "e pluribus funk" -back.
	5:26pm Fabio: @ Mary: Thanks for the info on Panique. going to try to catch it.
	5:27pm A.T.F.: Electric Hot Tuna SPAC 7/3 Plant your spores...
	5:28pm ɨkɛ: @coel∅@5:18: Well, they did that cool instrumental that was used as the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" TV theme song, but that was written by the bluegrass-loving guy who then left the band because it was getting too AOR, and that's why it's way better than all their other sludge.
	👻 5:29pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Wasn't that Paddy Kingsland, re: Hitchhiker's Guide theme?
	5:29pm common: good afternoon, fabio. everyone.
	👻 5:30pm Rev. Turnip Druid: or maybe Paddy was the electronic ambient room sounds & the background music to the book animations... ne'mind.
	5:30pm Dave in Vermont: Thanks for being there, Fabio.
	👻 5:31pm chris: holy crap on a cracker, great programming and curation, Fabio. grazie, maestro!
	5:31pm ugh: this music is perfect.
	5:32pm spodiodi: I agree with chris, nice one, Fabio.
	5:33pm ugh: thats why this guy has a DJ slot on the greatest radio station on the planet and we are all listening. respect.
	5:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Evening. The saddest reason for me to get better informed about the magnificent Can.
	5:36pm ugh: I do feel like his talk breaks go on a bit long, but it's like talking to an uncle or grandfather that friggin invented everything you think is cool. from the perspective of a 40 year old. Can can't fail.
	5:36pm common: must go back and listen to the archives for this one..
	5:37pm geezerette: Saw Delight / saw the light
	5:37pm ugh: you must, common. it's kind of my favorite fabio set ever, but then I always think that.
	5:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - yeah, I'ma just clicky☆ the episode before even hearing most of it. Not a common occurrence...common.
	5:40pm ugh: and when fabio would interact with clay pigeon. seems like a nice normal guy.
	👻 5:40pm Ken From Hyde Park: Note to Kenzo or whomever - There should be an option that you can choose to have the clicky-star make a clicky sound when you give it a clicky.
	5:41pm mary: @common et al, I heard the entire show and am going to archive to listen again. Savor.
	5:42pm ugh: clay pigeon seemed like a provocateur but I liked how fab played it so straight. a real fun contest.
	5:42pm coelacanth∅: ike, i don't know that track. at least i don't think i do. i'll check it out.
	5:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...or a woof or a moo...I'm good w/out it but okay... They're Bert & Ernie. It's gold.
	5:43pm ugh: quality entertainment goddamint
	5:44pm ugh: great way to put it for those of us who know who bert and ernie are. excellent metaphor.
	5:45pm common: ha! rev. @mary: i shall. @ugh: i love all of fabio's shows!
	5:46pm coelacanth∅: a single cow moo when you goldstar a song; a few cows when you goldstar an episode; and a deafening farm chorus when you goldstar a show.
	5:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: So - I've known Can when I hear them (& love it), & basically recognize the album titles (but not their distinctions). Not sufficient. & me a Julian Cope enthusiast: humiliating...
	5:47pm coelacanth∅: ...(but then i'd be constantly starring, un-starring, starring...)
	5:49pm ugh: http://vertebrates.si.edu/fishes/coelacanth/comoros_coelacanth_USNM.jpg
	5:50pm ugh: if that's not a wfmu worthy moment... what is?
	5:51pm TehBadDr: So happy to tune in at last to the end of the show after work Fabio! BTW does anybody else remember MTM as the hot Capri pant wearing wife if Dick Van Dykes stumbling comedy?
	5:52pm Carmichael: Tago Mago and Soundtracks are 2 of the most insanely cool albums ever.
	5:53pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): @Ken From Hyde Park: Just click it harder!
	5:54pm ugh: oh yeah now it's on.
	5:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& Can prompt the volume knob up... To me it's distinctly Lysergic - the hypnotic aspect & the duration - correlates more to the actual chemical psychedelic experience than a lot of so-called 'Psychedelic Music' (most of which I adore)... Strangley moved by MTM's passing - such an endearing character - both as Laura & as Mary in the 70s (when I really 'grew up'): Goodbye 20thCentury Goodbye...
	5:54pm V Priceless: Hey Clay played Ubu during his morning try-out!
	5:54pm Cecile: Sure do, TehBadDr
	5:54pm Dean: Jerzy Skolimowski
	5:55pm coelacanth∅: of course, Dr. then they changed the opening of the show and he scooted around the sofa he formerly stumbled over. we were so disappointed!
	5:55pm Dean: Was thinking Grotowski.
	5:56pm ugh: the second drummer died...
	5:56pm Dean: Steve Turre has a pretty remarkable discography.
	5:56pm Cecile: Butch Morris was, I think?
	5:57pm V Priceless: Buffon gone too
	5:57pm coelacanth∅: Trucks was also an excellent drummer. -not just good.
	5:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Carl Reiner - hipsters. Course she wore Capris - she was a CapriCorn...
	5:57pm chocolate monk: grachan moncure III
	5:57pm Cecile: Kai Winding
	5:57pm ugh: tfw when a pavement reference is mainstream given the context.
	5:57pm mosquito: Buffin passed away last year after a long decline. Rhythm sections dropping like flies.
	5:57pm Carmichael: Tom "Bones" Malone.
	5:57pm pat: herbie handcock
	5:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Old bad Jazz joke: Whadaya call a trombone player w/ an answering machine? - An optimist.
	5:58pm TehBadDr: Pigeon needs to listen to Bill Watrous!
	5:58pm mosquito: Play the husker du version
	5:58pm Dean: Ray Anderson
	5:58pm ugh: fab is getting aggro
	5:58pm dgg: wasted fabio coming home to watch mary tyler moore at 3am
	5:59pm Cecile: George Lewis
	5:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Fabio.
	5:59pm Cecile: Jimmy Knepper
	6:00pm Dean: Yeah, that George Lewis, not the other one.
	6:00pm TehBadDr: Is Fabio leaving tonight?
	6:00pm coelacanth∅: i know 3 'bone players. it's not rare.
	10:34pm tahomajohn: love your shows Fabio! keep on keepin' on:)
