	3:09pm steveo: hmmm, something seems to have put a spark under BT today; he's on fire!
	3:10pm Rev. Turnip Druid: SPOX DAY!
	3:10pm Rev. Turnip Druid: also. Hello.
	3:10pm BronwynB: this song will always hold a place in my heart due to the number of times i've explained sparks to friends by saying "they're that band that did that perfume song on gilmore girls...BUT THEY'RE SO MUCH MORE"
	3:12pm Uncle Michael: I always tell people they're that band that was in that Timothy Bottoms movie, "Rollercoaster."
	3:12pm psysci: My brother used to play beat the clock all the time along with 90s freestyle stuff when he would DJ parties.
	3:12pm BronwynB: @UM: haha i love that scene that they're in. i was looking at amazon reviews of that movie just to see what people thought of them and people were referring to them as a hair metal band. hair metal!
	3:13pm psysci: Russ' hair was pretty epic in the 70s no?
	3:14pm Cheri Pi: Heya BT! Highly anticipating today's show.
	3:15pm BronwynB: did you guys know that beat the clock was the first song in the pop-hits-medley Stars on 45 which hit #1 on the Hot 100 in 1981? I was listening to that as part of a project i did where i listened to the 100 most popular songs of each year since the inception of the billboard charts and the random sparks reference made me jump
	3:15pm BronwynB: @psysci: Yes it was!!!
	3:16pm glenn: i suspect bronwyn will feature large on this playlist.
	3:16pm glenn: and that's a good thing.
	3:17pm psysci: My vinyl of beat the clock has no mention of Sparks
	3:17pm Uncle Michael: I'd love to hear the wedding of jacqueline kennedy to russell mael unless it's in the iive set.
	3:19pm Cheri Pi: My tip for all of you is to hit the pledge button at the top of this page, I Predict you'll be glad you did.
	3:19pm BronwynB: @glenn: haha i've been waiting in fervent anticipation for this since it was announced. between this, the new record, the live shows at lpr, and the signing event where i got to meet them, i will always remember October 2017 as Sparks Month
	3:22pm Rev. Turnip Druid: GenKen: perhaps our greatest Sparks scholar. Been a fan since about 6th grade. Still crucial.
	3:22pm BriJet: Hiiii
	3:24pm glenn: sparktober.
	3:26pm glenn: i'll always remember it as indictment month.
	3:26pm psysci: Happy Mealoween
	3:26pm psysci: sorry Maeloween
	3:27pm The Slugger: Can't wait. My favorite band forever.
	3:28pm Krys O.: My local public library had vinyl LPs you could take out when I was in high school. I took out Sparks albums among others.
	3:29pm Ken From Hyde Park: Who's up for a Halloween prank of pulling the fire alarm at Bronwyn's place? Most evil, vile.
	3:30pm gen ken: I forgot to wear my Sparks Plagiarism boxer shorts today. damn!
	3:30pm Krys O.: BTW-I was the one who spotted them in the audience of the Big T.N.T. Show. It was easy to see Ron's distinctive bone structure. They had no idea that they were captured on film.
	3:32pm gen ken: Savage Henry characters named after the Male brothers
	3:32pm I am the Upsetter: In the last 5 years I have only just dipped my toe into SPARKS. Brilliant band. Can't wait for the session.
	3:34pm Rich in Washington: Howarth's comics were such great hommages to so many great musicians.
	3:34pm psysci: gen ken, actually i believe those annoying post brothers came out before Savage Henry. Both are great tho ;)
	3:34pm Chris from DC: Barricaded in my office for Sparks.
	3:35pm Rev. Turnip Druid: [salutes GKM]
	3:36pm gen ken: psysci - you're probably right - it's been a few decades... I got to sit with Matt at his drawing table back in the day - the air was a bit smokey...
	3:38pm Cecile: wow, that's so cool, gen ken. we got turned on to Matt through the peak ;years of Heavy Metal.
	3:38pm psysci: ha thats awesome. i have a big howarth collection. Wish I was hanging with you two back then.
	3:38pm BronwynB: @ken: nooooo :0
	3:40pm Rich in Washington: Heavy Metal screwed me up for life. The magazine, not the music.
	3:40pm Cecile: Savage Henry came out first. He debuted in '77, the Posts in Heavy Metal in 80 or 81.
	3:41pm Rich in Washington: I probably never would've never heard about the Residents if I didn't read about them in HM's music columns. Sending away for the Ralph catalog also screwed me up for life, too.
	3:43pm gen ken: glad somebody is keeping track... I met Matt somewhere around 77-78
	3:43pm Cecile: I was excited to see the Residents his comics because it mean that people besides writers, my college radio buddies and myself knew about them!
	3:44pm psysci: ah well Savage Henry first appeared in 77. The comic book Savage Henry came out in 87.
	3:44pm Rich in Washington: I think I still have that one-shot Residents comic book that Howarth did.
	3:44pm Cecile: I copped a few moves of his in my early days of scrawling.
	3:45pm psysci: stalking ralph, i have it too :D
	3:45pm gen ken: and Conrad Schnitzler was one of the characters in Savage Henry and at that time Matt was amused that many people didn't know he was a real person
	3:45pm Cheri Pi: I've piled all of my furniture in front of my office door. Curtains down, Outlook blocked out. Seat adjusted for takeoff.
	3:45pm Stevel: Bob Hund sounds slightly like the Bloody Hollies vocalist.
	3:46pm Rich in Washington: Me too, Cecile. Heavy Metal was my art school. Copped a lot of Bilal, Moebius, Druillet, etc.
	3:46pm psysci: the best thing in savage henry is when the residents forget who they are
	3:47pm BLCKDGRD: The new Ubu is GREAT!
	3:47pm Rev. Turnip Druid: uh, hey team... BBC is vibrating my phone with news of an apparent shooty thing in lower manhattan. True?
	3:48pm Rich in Washington: I haven't checked out the Savage Henry titles. I still have a bunch of those 80s Those Annoying Post Bros, though.
	3:48pm Cheri Pi: Yes RTD, at Chambers Street and West Side Highway!!! Oh NO
	3:49pm Cecile: gen ken, I know! Matt usually pointed it out and put in recommendations for records, too.
	3:49pm psysci: just what we needed...
	3:49pm Cheri Pi: Many cyclists hurt too after being runned down.
	3:49pm Cecile: That Ubu track was actually quite good.
	3:50pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ......
	3:50pm psysci: There has been a suspect arrested
	3:51pm gen ken: I think I was briefly a character in Savage Henry too
	3:52pm Cecile: psysci, was it a "troubled lone wolf?"
	3:54pm psysci: I am reading it may have been a cab driver
	3:54pm psysci: gen ken if u find out what issue let me know i probably have it
	3:57pm glenn: re. manhattan. www.rawstory.com...
	3:58pm psysci: nvm it was a guy in a home depot truck
	3:58pm Rev. Turnip Druid: This Eera track....... clicketh.
	3:59pm psysci: time to hit the road so i can catch sparks on the airwaves
	3:59pm gen ken: I know exactly where my copy is, but I'm not there now. It was one of the one's that CON was in. Might have been 2 issues....
	3:59pm psysci: con was in most issues
	4:01pm Morgan: Excitement...
	4:02pm johnk77: gleaming spires was very good live in the early eighties
	4:02pm BronwynB: it begins!!!! aaaah!!!!!

	4:09pm Brian Turner: Konzelmann Mario Ernie superhuman. Band incredible.
	4:09pm Cecile: Answer song "I am fun, just not with you."
	4:10pm glenn: firm but fair, cecile.
	4:10pm Cheyenne: Mario!! So much talent in front of the mics and on the other end of all those wires <3 WFMU is so blessed to have such luminaries around all the time.
	4:10pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Granted they've done ten thousand songs but if they manage to belt out "achoo," I may faint.
	4:11pm geezerette: Punk attitude in pure pop!
	4:11pm Cecile: that is an answer I give my sisters often.
	4:11pm Mark H: Great stuff!
	4:11pm will onion poo: LIVE SESSION SOUNDS GREAT!
	4:12pm gen ken: nice keyboard playing...:-)
	4:12pm will onion poo: BT smells like canal street w/ extra mustard tho PU NO THANKS

	4:13pm BronwynB: whether deep down or on the surface, every song wishes it could be this song.
	4:14pm Krys O.: I'm dancing at the bus stop!
	4:14pm Cheri Pi: AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!
	4:14pm Cecile: Bronwyn, this, "German Sparkle Party" or "Chatterbox"
	4:15pm Cecile: the fullness of the sound!
	4:15pm Uncle Michael: I love that Ron and Russell cameo'd in the Justin Hawkins cover of this.
	4:15pm Morgan: @bronwyn ha ha
	4:15pm Chris from DC: Really does sound great.
	4:15pm Stairway: Bronwyn makes a good point.
	4:16pm Rich in Washington: This is wonderful!
	4:16pm Morgan: The quiet in between is painful cause I want to cheer
	4:17pm Uncle Michael: so, cheer
	4:17pm Cecile: This is good enough t up as a legit release
	4:19pm egnekn: Sparks show on WFMU archives includes applause between songs from love in London show - https://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/6684
	4:19pm Creamo Coyl: Sounds swell. Nice job, y'all.
	4:19pm BronwynB: yeah, russell sounded better on that last bit (the "well im sorry time's up part") then he does on the album!
	4:20pm Dominick: Great!
	4:20pm egnekn: live fast and die young - too late for that now! brilliant!

	4:22pm Mick: Woo hoo!!! Thanks again!
	4:23pm Ken From Hyde Park: Well done, cast and crew!
	4:23pm Cecile: What kind of giant dog?
	4:23pm rbx: Thanks for making that happen all involved :>
	4:23pm BronwynB: haha, fun cover
	4:23pm Rich in Washington: I really love this cover.
	4:24pm Chris from DC: Yeah, this rips.
	4:25pm Rev. Turnip Druid: up-tempo nodding in agreement.
	4:26pm tadpoles: You're not going to believe this but we've just had a power outage for the last hour and I'm just on board now. Man please Brian will this be on archive. My only solace is that I did see them at Poission. Thanks FMU and Sparks!
	4:26pm KevinfromBayRidge: All too much!
	4:27pm andrewb: i was assured the show will archived
	4:28pm johnk77: magic mountain was fun a lot of bands played there
	4:28pm BronwynB: this was the part i was really looking forward too haha
	4:28pm andrewb: Thanks so much for this
	4:29pm Jeff: Exceptionally excellent in-house set.
	4:30pm Brian Turner: It shall be archived.
	4:34pm BronwynB: i enjoyed the starbucks cupcake story
	4:35pm Brian Turner: That first pic in the playlist btw is JG Thirlwell hangin at Russell's
	4:38pm Creamo Coyl: So glad they're not doing the music for a Wes Anderson film (even tho it'd be good for them).
	4:42pm BronwynB: thanks brian. that was really great.
	4:42pm Uncle Michael: Outstanding, BT.
	4:42pm BronwynB: when they played this at le poisson rouge i screamed so loud i think i scared people
	4:43pm Stevel: Terrific!
	4:43pm BronwynB: for some reason i thought maybe they were going to play something else after propaganda, like i love at home at work at play so much i didn't want to get my hopes up, and then that was it!!!
	4:43pm tadpoles: One day Ron Mael will be acknowledged as one of the great American lyricists. Shame it takes the UK to acknowledge this fully.
	4:43pm BronwynB: someday i hope to achieve my dream of seeing them play something for the girl with everything live
	4:43pm Mick: A great Halloween treat on a day that went really grisly otherwise.
	4:44pm andrewb: home,work or play really brought the house down at the poisson rouge show
	4:44pm BronwynB: @tadpoles: agreed. the one i always come back to is "tits." he should have won all the songwriting awards for that one. it's like a play. i wish i could write something like that.
	4:46pm Cecile: tadpoles, I don't think most of the music insiders/intelligentsia these days can find their butts with both hands, much lesss determine who is good at writing these word things.
	4:46pm tadpoles: @BronwynB... when you get their songs stuck in your head...they're delightfully stuck in your head!
	4:48pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Kimono My House remains the finest pop LP of all time, in terms of writing/performance/production. Fires on all cylinders.
	4:49pm Stevel: Heavily influenced by Sparks was The Quick, one of my favorite hard-to-find bands. en.wikipedia.org...
	4:50pm Rev. Turnip Druid: [counts on fingers/toes] ... must have been 6th grade; discovered Sparks & Sensational Alex Harvey Band at the same time: revolutionized the brain.
	4:51pm Ken From Hyde Park: This has certainly been a treat. Is there a trick coming up?
	4:51pm BronwynB: @rev: love that record so much. even the cover is amazing- so ahead of its time. when i was first introduced to it at 18 by a friend who bought it while we were record shopping, i wasn't ready for it. i thought it looked too cool for little old me. then three years later i saw their don kirshner show. never looked back
	4:52pm BronwynB: @ken: the trick is that next he's going to play Sporks, the alternate-reality version where ron sings and russell writes the songs
	4:52pm Krys O.: Lil Beethoven was a great album. Suburban Homeboy, Ugly Guys, etc.
	4:53pm chris: li'l beethoven was my introduction to sparks. so great.
	4:53pm BronwynB: come to think of it, i kind of wish ron had sang Pineapple, just for added symmetry
	4:54pm Krys O.: Ron is a genius.
	4:54pm Hughie Considine: Interesting, @Stevel - what would you say is the ultimate Quick track?
	4:55pm rbx: @chris mine as well. I love their other albums but this one will always be very near and dear to me.
	4:55pm brycepunk1: Never heard Sparks before... This is awesome! Love this!
	4:55pm Brian Turner: There is no band 45 years down the line pulling the line with such quality in all truth.
	4:56pm Krys O.: @brycepunk1 Congratulations!
	4:56pm fred: @Ken: The best trick would be the one Greg has in store for when the station reaches the goal, but it doesn't look likely to be revealed today
	4:57pm BronwynB: brycepunk, yay!!! im so glad you're enjoying them! :D
	4:57pm Stevel: Hughie: Hmm. Hillary (song about an S&M queen) www.youtube.com... or their cover of It Won't be Long www.youtube.com...
	4:58pm tadpoles: Dead right Brian. "Hippopotamus" didn't go up the UK charts for nothing. It's a brilliant new chapter from a great band.
	4:58pm Uncle Michael: Thank you for playing this, Brian.
	4:59pm Morgan: These ads are great
	4:59pm Rev. Turnip Druid: YASS!
	5:00pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Sparks = also masters of the coda (or whatever you call it) .. this tune & 'talent is an asset' being prime examples.
	5:01pm tadpoles: Kimono My House actually 1974.
	5:02pm Cecile: I sense they picked up a little from Roxy Music and vice versa
	5:03pm Morgan: an excellent listening party!
	5:04pm Uncle Michael: That Kennedy thing is a bonus track on the Indiscreet reissue.
	5:08pm Brian Turner: Interestingly enough Cecile, they shared Sal Maida, a bassist in early years who did time in Roxy Music too. Sal has a book out now about his experiences in these bands (and Milk N Cookies too). hozacrecords.com...
	5:09pm Cecile: cool!
	5:16pm Cecile: not feeling this remix
	5:26pm TDK60: Thanks for the tunes. Keep those platters spinnin'...
	5:26pm Robert D: Just wanted to say, "Yay! Sparks!" Thanks Brian!
	5:27pm Brian Turner: Glad you dug! It is quite a day....
	5:28pm TehBadDr: That cover brings me back to the 80's East Village, with the fave local junkie punk band playing downstairs at the Lismar,
	5:31pm Sno-Time at the Apollo: @Brian Turner , @Cecile - Ron and Russell recently did a funny interview on Sirius with Steve Jones (Jonesy in true obnoxious, but amusing form) where they talked a little about their feelings towards Roxy Music. They were labelmates with them on Island back in the day and they felt like they were somewhat in competition with RM at the time. They kind of turned up their noses a little at first. Now, they readily admit to being big fans and highly respecting their work.
	5:33pm Cecile: That's really cool. I like Sparks a lot, but I always slightly preferred Roxy's pathos and experimentation. But they are both superb bands.
	5:33pm Robert D: Just added your show to my calendar (duration : forever).
	5:33pm Cecile: ANN ARBOR REPRESENT
	5:35pm Sno-Time at the Apollo: @Cecile Agreed both are superb!
	5:35pm MayorFrank Rizzo: I never understood Sparks but I do now.
	5:36pm BronwynB: Glad to hear that, Mayor Rizzo
	5:37pm common: happy halloween!
	5:39pm Cecile: wow! Haze XXL's first band.
	5:39pm Cecile: we liked em because they sounded like an American Birthday Party.
	5:41pm Brian Turner: Sno-Time, did you hear the Maels visit to Jones' show in 2006? He admitted to them that in his corrupt youth he stole their backline for an early UK gig. That took some guts!
	5:44pm Mayor Frank Rizzo: Well, a picture of you smiling?
	5:49pm SeanG: HARRY RAG!!!!!!!!!
	5:58pm Mayor Frank Rizzo: What a fine tune. Goodnight Br(a)(in)s.
	5:59pm Brian Turner: Thanks for listening everybody. See you next week: GROUP DOUEH vidcast on the show!
	6:00pm chris: thanks, BT! one for the record books today!
	6:00pm zm: Thank you I wasn't aware DG released new track.
	9:32pm Sno-Time at the Apollo: @Brian Turner Ha! They alluded to that, but I wasn't sure what the story was. What a rascal!
	1:21pm JGT: wow!
	2:41pm Bootsie: What is the etiquette on post-show comments? Know what? IDC. This. Is. AWESOME!
	7:06pm robodoll: Was in my early teens when (we), the friends I duly influenced - dragged to see them, at that time Halfnelson, later Sparks - when they were the "house band" at The Whiskey in LA. People did not know what to think of them...great shows!
	7:07pm robodoll: Was in my early teens when (we), the friends I duly influenced - dragged to see them, at that time Halfnelson, later Sparks - when they were the "house band" at The Whiskey in LA. People did not know what to think of them...great shows!
	12:01am Janice: Thank you for playing this, Brian.. an excellent listening party! http://run2.online/run-3

Brian Turner: Playlist from October 31, 2017

Order and disorder in a freeform haze of terribly-played guitars, shorted-out electronics, found audio detritus, strange sounds from strange lands all around. Psych-punk-junk, collage, even pop. Lots of in-studio live performances to boot.

Sparks	Missionary Position "Missionary Position" by "Sparks"	Live in the WFMU Studio				Recorded by Scott Konzelmann, Mario Santana, mix by Ernie Indradat. An incredible show planned as Brian welcomes the one and only Sparks, performing live in full glory as a 7-piece band at WFMU! Formed in 1972, brothers Ron and Russell Mael established their own turf with willfully eccentric, inventive pop music that has been spread out over 24 albums including their latest, Hippopotamus. Prolifically melding cultural satire with numerous musical traditions, Sparks have applied classicism and often theatricality with glam, new wave, disco, artrock, and baroque and bubblegum pop, consistently working within the mainstream while skimming around its edges as defined outsiders. They've worked with producers like Todd Rundgren, Giorgio Morodor, and Tony Visconti, and have had top 5 hits all over the UK and Europe; they've appeared in 80's teen flicks and created soundtrack work and have even been commissioned by the Swedish government to do a radio tribute to Ingmar Bergman. Collaborations and artists both musical and visual that they've influenced read like a guestlist to the most glamorous event you can imagine. Their current 2017 lineup touring Europe, the USA, and Japan are a full-on kickass rock band, and the results of their daylong pitstop and performance at the station is gonna be jawdropping on the radio. Afterwards, Brian chats with Ron and Russell! Absolutely not to be missed, true legends! Today's lineup: Ron Mael: piano, Russell Mael: lead vox, Stevie Nistor: drums, Zach Dawes: bass, Tyler Parkford: keyboards, backing vox, Evan Weiss: guitar, backing vox, Taylor Locke: guitar, backing vox.

	3:02pm BronwynB: Hello Listening Out There! Hello Brian! Hello everyone!!!!
	3:03pm Morgan: Aw someone post a pic...
	3:05pm Krys O.: Been a Sparks fan since I was a teenager! Having them on FMU is historic.
	3:06pm psysci: Have you read any Matt Howarth comics?
	3:06pm geezerette: boop- boop
	3:07pm Brian Turner: ***** 4 PM **** SPARKS!!!! LIVE!!!! ***welcome
	3:08pm Morgan: Thanks for the heads up, Brian!
	3:09pm psysci: 4pm perfect time. I leave work at that time
	3:09pm steveo: hmmm, something seems to have put a spark under BT today; he's on fire!
	3:10pm Rev. Turnip Druid: SPOX DAY!
	3:10pm Rev. Turnip Druid: also. Hello.
	3:10pm BronwynB: this song will always hold a place in my heart due to the number of times i've explained sparks to friends by saying "they're that band that did that perfume song on gilmore girls...BUT THEY'RE SO MUCH MORE"
	3:12pm Uncle Michael: I always tell people they're that band that was in that Timothy Bottoms movie, "Rollercoaster."
	3:12pm psysci: My brother used to play beat the clock all the time along with 90s freestyle stuff when he would DJ parties.
	3:12pm BronwynB: @UM: haha i love that scene that they're in. i was looking at amazon reviews of that movie just to see what people thought of them and people were referring to them as a hair metal band. hair metal!
	3:13pm psysci: Russ' hair was pretty epic in the 70s no?
	3:14pm Cheri Pi: Heya BT! Highly anticipating today's show.
	3:15pm BronwynB: did you guys know that beat the clock was the first song in the pop-hits-medley Stars on 45 which hit #1 on the Hot 100 in 1981? I was listening to that as part of a project i did where i listened to the 100 most popular songs of each year since the inception of the billboard charts and the random sparks reference made me jump
	3:15pm BronwynB: @psysci: Yes it was!!!
	3:16pm glenn: i suspect bronwyn will feature large on this playlist.
	3:16pm glenn: and that's a good thing.
	3:17pm psysci: My vinyl of beat the clock has no mention of Sparks
	3:17pm Uncle Michael: I'd love to hear the wedding of jacqueline kennedy to russell mael unless it's in the iive set.
	3:19pm Cheri Pi: My tip for all of you is to hit the pledge button at the top of this page, I Predict you'll be glad you did.
	3:19pm BronwynB: @glenn: haha i've been waiting in fervent anticipation for this since it was announced. between this, the new record, the live shows at lpr, and the signing event where i got to meet them, i will always remember October 2017 as Sparks Month
	3:22pm Rev. Turnip Druid: GenKen: perhaps our greatest Sparks scholar. Been a fan since about 6th grade. Still crucial.
	3:22pm BriJet: Hiiii
	3:24pm glenn: sparktober.
	3:26pm glenn: i'll always remember it as indictment month.
	3:26pm psysci: Happy Mealoween
	3:26pm psysci: sorry Maeloween
	3:27pm The Slugger: Can't wait. My favorite band forever.
	3:28pm Krys O.: My local public library had vinyl LPs you could take out when I was in high school. I took out Sparks albums among others.
	3:29pm Ken From Hyde Park: Who's up for a Halloween prank of pulling the fire alarm at Bronwyn's place? Most evil, vile.
	3:30pm gen ken: I forgot to wear my Sparks Plagiarism boxer shorts today. damn!
	3:30pm Krys O.: BTW-I was the one who spotted them in the audience of the Big T.N.T. Show. It was easy to see Ron's distinctive bone structure. They had no idea that they were captured on film.
	3:32pm gen ken: Savage Henry characters named after the Male brothers
	3:32pm I am the Upsetter: In the last 5 years I have only just dipped my toe into SPARKS. Brilliant band. Can't wait for the session.
	3:34pm Rich in Washington: Howarth's comics were such great hommages to so many great musicians.
	3:34pm psysci: gen ken, actually i believe those annoying post brothers came out before Savage Henry. Both are great tho ;)
	3:34pm Chris from DC: Barricaded in my office for Sparks.
	3:35pm Rev. Turnip Druid: [salutes GKM]
	3:36pm gen ken: psysci - you're probably right - it's been a few decades... I got to sit with Matt at his drawing table back in the day - the air was a bit smokey...
	3:38pm Cecile: wow, that's so cool, gen ken. we got turned on to Matt through the peak ;years of Heavy Metal.
	3:38pm psysci: ha thats awesome. i have a big howarth collection. Wish I was hanging with you two back then.
	3:38pm BronwynB: @ken: nooooo :0
	3:40pm Rich in Washington: Heavy Metal screwed me up for life. The magazine, not the music.
	3:40pm Cecile: Savage Henry came out first. He debuted in '77, the Posts in Heavy Metal in 80 or 81.
	3:41pm Rich in Washington: I probably never would've never heard about the Residents if I didn't read about them in HM's music columns. Sending away for the Ralph catalog also screwed me up for life, too.
	3:43pm gen ken: glad somebody is keeping track... I met Matt somewhere around 77-78
	3:43pm Cecile: I was excited to see the Residents his comics because it mean that people besides writers, my college radio buddies and myself knew about them!
	3:44pm psysci: ah well Savage Henry first appeared in 77. The comic book Savage Henry came out in 87.
	3:44pm Rich in Washington: I think I still have that one-shot Residents comic book that Howarth did.
	3:44pm Cecile: I copped a few moves of his in my early days of scrawling.
	3:45pm psysci: stalking ralph, i have it too :D
	3:45pm gen ken: and Conrad Schnitzler was one of the characters in Savage Henry and at that time Matt was amused that many people didn't know he was a real person
	3:45pm Cheri Pi: I've piled all of my furniture in front of my office door. Curtains down, Outlook blocked out. Seat adjusted for takeoff.
	3:45pm Stevel: Bob Hund sounds slightly like the Bloody Hollies vocalist.
	3:46pm Rich in Washington: Me too, Cecile. Heavy Metal was my art school. Copped a lot of Bilal, Moebius, Druillet, etc.
	3:46pm psysci: the best thing in savage henry is when the residents forget who they are
	3:47pm BLCKDGRD: The new Ubu is GREAT!
	3:47pm Rev. Turnip Druid: uh, hey team... BBC is vibrating my phone with news of an apparent shooty thing in lower manhattan. True?
	3:48pm Rich in Washington: I haven't checked out the Savage Henry titles. I still have a bunch of those 80s Those Annoying Post Bros, though.
	3:48pm Cheri Pi: Yes RTD, at Chambers Street and West Side Highway!!! Oh NO
	3:49pm Cecile: gen ken, I know! Matt usually pointed it out and put in recommendations for records, too.
	3:49pm psysci: just what we needed...
	3:49pm Cheri Pi: Many cyclists hurt too after being runned down.
	3:49pm Cecile: That Ubu track was actually quite good.
	3:50pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ......
	3:50pm psysci: There has been a suspect arrested
	3:51pm gen ken: I think I was briefly a character in Savage Henry too
	3:52pm Cecile: psysci, was it a "troubled lone wolf?"
	3:54pm psysci: I am reading it may have been a cab driver
	3:54pm psysci: gen ken if u find out what issue let me know i probably have it
	3:57pm glenn: re. manhattan. www.rawstory.com...
	3:58pm psysci: nvm it was a guy in a home depot truck
	3:58pm Rev. Turnip Druid: This Eera track....... clicketh.
	3:59pm psysci: time to hit the road so i can catch sparks on the airwaves
	3:59pm gen ken: I know exactly where my copy is, but I'm not there now. It was one of the one's that CON was in. Might have been 2 issues....
	3:59pm psysci: con was in most issues
	4:01pm Morgan: Excitement...
	4:02pm johnk77: gleaming spires was very good live in the early eighties
	4:02pm BronwynB: it begins!!!! aaaah!!!!!
	4:02pm BronwynB: hi russell!!!!
	4:02pm chris: whew! here just in time. hi, BT, all!
	4:03pm BronwynB: YAAAAAAAAAY!!!!

	4:07pm Cheyenne: **and Scott K and Ernie!!! It sounds GREAT
	4:07pm Kat in Chicago: This sounds unbelievably good
	4:08pm Stevel: Beautiful engineering. Great score for WFMU. Truly a wonderful event.
	4:09pm Brian Turner: Konzelmann Mario Ernie superhuman. Band incredible.
	4:09pm Cecile: Answer song "I am fun, just not with you."
	4:10pm glenn: firm but fair, cecile.
	4:10pm Cheyenne: Mario!! So much talent in front of the mics and on the other end of all those wires <3 WFMU is so blessed to have such luminaries around all the time.
	4:10pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Granted they've done ten thousand songs but if they manage to belt out "achoo," I may faint.
	4:11pm geezerette: Punk attitude in pure pop!
	4:11pm Cecile: that is an answer I give my sisters often.
	4:11pm Mark H: Great stuff!
	4:11pm will onion poo: LIVE SESSION SOUNDS GREAT!
	4:12pm gen ken: nice keyboard playing...:-)
	4:12pm will onion poo: BT smells like canal street w/ extra mustard tho PU NO THANKS

	4:13pm holland oats: such a great song
	4:13pm BronwynB: whether deep down or on the surface, every song wishes it could be this song.
	4:14pm Krys O.: I'm dancing at the bus stop!
	4:14pm Cheri Pi: AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!
	4:14pm Cecile: Bronwyn, this, "German Sparkle Party" or "Chatterbox"
	4:15pm Cecile: the fullness of the sound!
	4:15pm Uncle Michael: I love that Ron and Russell cameo'd in the Justin Hawkins cover of this.
	4:15pm Morgan: @bronwyn ha ha
	4:15pm Chris from DC: Really does sound great.
	4:15pm Stairway: Bronwyn makes a good point.
	4:16pm Rich in Washington: This is wonderful!
	4:16pm Morgan: The quiet in between is painful cause I want to cheer
	4:17pm Uncle Michael: so, cheer
	4:17pm Cecile: This is good enough t up as a legit release
	4:19pm egnekn: Sparks show on WFMU archives includes applause between songs from love in London show - https://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/6684
	4:19pm Creamo Coyl: Sounds swell. Nice job, y'all.
	4:19pm BronwynB: yeah, russell sounded better on that last bit (the "well im sorry time's up part") then he does on the album!
	4:20pm Dominick: Great!
	4:20pm egnekn: live fast and die young - too late for that now! brilliant!
	4:20pm rbx: applause
	4:21pm BronwynB: that was amazing! thanks brian and crew

	4:22pm Mick: Woo hoo!!! Thanks again!
	4:23pm Ken From Hyde Park: Well done, cast and crew!
	4:23pm Cecile: What kind of giant dog?
	4:23pm rbx: Thanks for making that happen all involved :>
	4:23pm BronwynB: haha, fun cover
	4:23pm Rich in Washington: I really love this cover.
	4:24pm Chris from DC: Yeah, this rips.
	4:25pm Rev. Turnip Druid: up-tempo nodding in agreement.
	4:26pm tadpoles: You're not going to believe this but we've just had a power outage for the last hour and I'm just on board now. Man please Brian will this be on archive. My only solace is that I did see them at Poission. Thanks FMU and Sparks!
	4:26pm KevinfromBayRidge: All too much!
	4:27pm andrewb: i was assured the show will archived
	4:28pm johnk77: magic mountain was fun a lot of bands played there
	4:28pm BronwynB: this was the part i was really looking forward too haha
	4:28pm andrewb: Thanks so much for this
	4:29pm Jeff: Exceptionally excellent in-house set.
	4:30pm Brian Turner: It shall be archived.
	4:34pm BronwynB: i enjoyed the starbucks cupcake story
	4:35pm Brian Turner: That first pic in the playlist btw is JG Thirlwell hangin at Russell's
	4:38pm Creamo Coyl: So glad they're not doing the music for a Wes Anderson film (even tho it'd be good for them).
	4:42pm BronwynB: thanks brian. that was really great.
	4:42pm Uncle Michael: Outstanding, BT.
	4:42pm BronwynB: when they played this at le poisson rouge i screamed so loud i think i scared people
	4:43pm Stevel: Terrific!
	4:43pm BronwynB: for some reason i thought maybe they were going to play something else after propaganda, like i love at home at work at play so much i didn't want to get my hopes up, and then that was it!!!
	4:43pm tadpoles: One day Ron Mael will be acknowledged as one of the great American lyricists. Shame it takes the UK to acknowledge this fully.
	4:43pm BronwynB: someday i hope to achieve my dream of seeing them play something for the girl with everything live
	4:43pm Mick: A great Halloween treat on a day that went really grisly otherwise.
	4:44pm andrewb: home,work or play really brought the house down at the poisson rouge show
	4:44pm BronwynB: @tadpoles: agreed. the one i always come back to is "tits." he should have won all the songwriting awards for that one. it's like a play. i wish i could write something like that.
	4:46pm Cecile: tadpoles, I don't think most of the music insiders/intelligentsia these days can find their butts with both hands, much lesss determine who is good at writing these word things.
	4:46pm tadpoles: @BronwynB... when you get their songs stuck in your head...they're delightfully stuck in your head!
	4:48pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Kimono My House remains the finest pop LP of all time, in terms of writing/performance/production. Fires on all cylinders.
	4:49pm Stevel: Heavily influenced by Sparks was The Quick, one of my favorite hard-to-find bands. en.wikipedia.org...
	4:50pm Rev. Turnip Druid: [counts on fingers/toes] ... must have been 6th grade; discovered Sparks & Sensational Alex Harvey Band at the same time: revolutionized the brain.
	4:51pm Ken From Hyde Park: This has certainly been a treat. Is there a trick coming up?
	4:51pm BronwynB: @rev: love that record so much. even the cover is amazing- so ahead of its time. when i was first introduced to it at 18 by a friend who bought it while we were record shopping, i wasn't ready for it. i thought it looked too cool for little old me. then three years later i saw their don kirshner show. never looked back
	4:52pm BronwynB: @ken: the trick is that next he's going to play Sporks, the alternate-reality version where ron sings and russell writes the songs
	4:52pm Krys O.: Lil Beethoven was a great album. Suburban Homeboy, Ugly Guys, etc.
	4:53pm chris: li'l beethoven was my introduction to sparks. so great.
	4:53pm BronwynB: come to think of it, i kind of wish ron had sang Pineapple, just for added symmetry
	4:54pm Krys O.: Ron is a genius.
	4:54pm Hughie Considine: Interesting, @Stevel - what would you say is the ultimate Quick track?
	4:55pm rbx: @chris mine as well. I love their other albums but this one will always be very near and dear to me.
	4:55pm brycepunk1: Never heard Sparks before... This is awesome! Love this!
	4:55pm Brian Turner: There is no band 45 years down the line pulling the line with such quality in all truth.
	4:56pm Krys O.: @brycepunk1 Congratulations!
	4:56pm fred: @Ken: The best trick would be the one Greg has in store for when the station reaches the goal, but it doesn't look likely to be revealed today
	4:57pm BronwynB: brycepunk, yay!!! im so glad you're enjoying them! :D
	4:57pm Stevel: Hughie: Hmm. Hillary (song about an S&M queen) www.youtube.com... or their cover of It Won't be Long www.youtube.com...
	4:58pm tadpoles: Dead right Brian. "Hippopotamus" didn't go up the UK charts for nothing. It's a brilliant new chapter from a great band.
	4:58pm Uncle Michael: Thank you for playing this, Brian.
	4:59pm Morgan: These ads are great
	4:59pm Rev. Turnip Druid: YASS!
	5:00pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Sparks = also masters of the coda (or whatever you call it) .. this tune & 'talent is an asset' being prime examples.
	5:01pm tadpoles: Kimono My House actually 1974.
	5:02pm Cecile: I sense they picked up a little from Roxy Music and vice versa
	5:03pm Morgan: an excellent listening party!
	5:04pm Uncle Michael: That Kennedy thing is a bonus track on the Indiscreet reissue.
	5:08pm Brian Turner: Interestingly enough Cecile, they shared Sal Maida, a bassist in early years who did time in Roxy Music too. Sal has a book out now about his experiences in these bands (and Milk N Cookies too). hozacrecords.com...
	5:09pm Cecile: cool!
	5:16pm Cecile: not feeling this remix
	5:26pm TDK60: Thanks for the tunes. Keep those platters spinnin'...
	5:26pm Robert D: Just wanted to say, "Yay! Sparks!" Thanks Brian!
	5:27pm Brian Turner: Glad you dug! It is quite a day....
	5:28pm TehBadDr: That cover brings me back to the 80's East Village, with the fave local junkie punk band playing downstairs at the Lismar,
	5:31pm Sno-Time at the Apollo: @Brian Turner , @Cecile - Ron and Russell recently did a funny interview on Sirius with Steve Jones (Jonesy in true obnoxious, but amusing form) where they talked a little about their feelings towards Roxy Music. They were labelmates with them on Island back in the day and they felt like they were somewhat in competition with RM at the time. They kind of turned up their noses a little at first. Now, they readily admit to being big fans and highly respecting their work.
	5:33pm Cecile: That's really cool. I like Sparks a lot, but I always slightly preferred Roxy's pathos and experimentation. But they are both superb bands.
	5:33pm Robert D: Just added your show to my calendar (duration : forever).
	5:33pm Cecile: ANN ARBOR REPRESENT
	5:35pm Sno-Time at the Apollo: @Cecile Agreed both are superb!
	5:35pm MayorFrank Rizzo: I never understood Sparks but I do now.
	5:36pm BronwynB: Glad to hear that, Mayor Rizzo
	5:37pm common: happy halloween!
	5:39pm Cecile: wow! Haze XXL's first band.
	5:39pm Cecile: we liked em because they sounded like an American Birthday Party.
	5:41pm Brian Turner: Sno-Time, did you hear the Maels visit to Jones' show in 2006? He admitted to them that in his corrupt youth he stole their backline for an early UK gig. That took some guts!
	5:44pm Mayor Frank Rizzo: Well, a picture of you smiling?
	5:49pm SeanG: HARRY RAG!!!!!!!!!
	5:58pm Mayor Frank Rizzo: What a fine tune. Goodnight Br(a)(in)s.
	5:59pm Brian Turner: Thanks for listening everybody. See you next week: GROUP DOUEH vidcast on the show!
	6:00pm chris: thanks, BT! one for the record books today!
	6:00pm zm: Thank you I wasn't aware DG released new track.
	9:32pm Sno-Time at the Apollo: @Brian Turner Ha! They alluded to that, but I wasn't sure what the story was. What a rascal!
	1:21pm JGT: wow!
	2:41pm Bootsie: What is the etiquette on post-show comments? Know what? IDC. This. Is. AWESOME!
	7:06pm robodoll: Was in my early teens when (we), the friends I duly influenced - dragged to see them, at that time Halfnelson, later Sparks - when they were the "house band" at The Whiskey in LA. People did not know what to think of them...great shows!
