	3:19pm sufferwords: never thought i'd hear no pussyfooting on the air- i'd play this with Crowley recitation to clear the room post 2am whenever i DJ'd
	3:20pm Scraps: Fripp & Eno, ahhhhhhhh....
	3:20pm Dean: So familiar, yet not familiar enough to register precisely...because it's in reverse!
	3:21pm Scraps: Clear the room?? It’s beautiful!
	3:22pm Scraps: Oh, Crowley..... should read more carefully
	3:23pm dfb: man charlie really liked to talk
	3:24pm Ricky: Life Force???

	👻 3:31pm JtotheK: hi fabio, good afternoon one and all.
	3:36pm TDK60: The Failure of people to have courtesy on the New York City subway.
	3:38pm Scraps: Ah, I miss rude people on the subway....
	3:38pm Brendan: The bed music suggests an inviting comfortable lounge that serves excellent adult beverages in a safe environment overlooking the water
	3:39pm steveo: One grande frippenino, please...
	3:39pm rsj: OK, so why is Ken's alarm not blaring nonstop while Fab speaks?
	3:48pm TDK60: Are these real LP pops? Or, imitation pops put in to sound like real ones?
	👻 3:50pm Rev. Turnip Druid: loves me some vintage pops
	3:51pm steveo: The failure of questions.
	👻 3:53pm Rev. Turnip Druid: THIS.
	3:54pm Passaic River Blues: Oh man, what is this?
	3:55pm Wild Neil: Polonio is pretty sick!
	3:56pm Carmichael: It's backwards day!
	3:58pm Willcrete: Backwards land is great.... the trumpet parts buried in there in particular. If only Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart could have heard this. "Yes, yes! You don't know where you are! Here, everything goes backwards. People walk backwards, dance backwards, sing backwards, and even talk backwards."
	4:01pm TDK60: Hey! I've got an idea! Let's take this country Backwards...
	4:02pm Fredericks: Eugene Chadbourne has a song about Backward Town. Here's the Soundcloud link: soundcloud.com...
	4:03pm northguineahills: @Wild Neil: Well, at least they aren't going to make you sick like polonium or polio.
	4:03pm nic: great !!! last one 2 !!!
	4:05pm peter: What was that song!!?
	4:07pm northguineahills: Robert Haigh has a nice Harold Budd vibe going for it.
	4:07pm Carmichael: Fabio, don't make Ken freak out about the station ID. It's 7 past the hour ...
	4:07pm awtum: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/video/2017/dec/07/commuters-drive-through-raging-wildfire-in-california-video listening to this as I watched the video above of driving through the LA fire...
	4:10pm Lixiviated Life: where is the failure in this?
	4:15pm Papayo: your spanish is good lol. a greetings from spain.
	4:17pm TDK60: Lixiviated Life: It's up toward the top of this page, in the title of this show.
	4:22pm Papayo: great films!
	4:23pm Lixiviated Life: Saw The Passion of Joan of Arc yesterday. Carl Dreyer. 1929 +/- Great work
	4:24pm awtum: Hey man, I would like to recommend "Transformer: Native Art in Light and Sound" at the National Museum of the American Indian through 1/6/18
	4:25pm βrian: What's the name of this song?
	4:25pm MacGuffin: OMG play something.
	4:26pm awtum: I luv Terrence Stamp!
	4:27pm Papayo: Dreyer is a master!
	4:29pm Lixiviated Life: @Papayo, Agreed
	4:31pm awtum: Superb show, yet again. Thank you, Fabio!
	4:31pm geezerette: Hey all! Dreyer's "Vampyr" is a much stronger film than "Nosferatu".
	4:38pm Carmichael: Hey geezerette, are the fires creeping toward you? I'm assuming you live in Beverly Hills ... :)
	4:40pm Ricky: Fab, Thanks for the film suggestions.
	4:42pm Fredericks: Is this the Animals with vibes?
	4:42pm Carmichael: This is hippie music, Fabs. At least they're not filthy hippies.
	👻 4:43pm mrdonutsu: But that basssss...
	4:43pm Papayo: yeah @Lixiviated Life
	4:45pm TDK60: Eric Burdon, then The Byrds. I love The Byrds. They did so much for opening up possibilities back then. Yeah, they're hippies. So am I.
	4:47pm foofs: Never, ever go back. Unless you left the iron on.
	4:47pm Billy hippie: Sandoz, home of LSD
	4:47pm Honeybear: such questions, such questions
	4:47pm awtum: Wow, loving this
	4:51pm MacGuffin: This is an amusing riposte to the sexual McCarthyism that is sweeping the English-speaking world.
	4:52pm Papayo: im a new fan of your program. :) i like ver much.
	4:57pm Honeybear: @MacGuffin indeed - it almost feels slightly dangerous to even be in your company as you suggest that
	👻 5:00pm Ken From Hyde Park: When I go on vacation, I want to go to Failure World.
	5:00pm geezerette: MacGuffin, "Sexual McCarthyism" is accurate. Does anyone remember Orwell's "Junior Anti-Sex League" in "1984"?
	5:00pm βrian: Anyway, hearing am I what?
	5:03pm βrian: I wonder how the #me_too analysis is playing out in the French press.
	5:04pm Passaic River Blues: Yeah, it's really too bad supervisors can't rape and/or grope their employees with impunity because of all the McCarthyism.
	5:04pm Honeybear: @KFHP I'm ready to just throw it all in and make it my permanent address. And only commute into "successLand" occasionally for $work. (or ideally, telecommute)
	5:05pm Honeybear: @PRB it's not either/or
	5:07pm Carmichael: I just heard Dusty Springfield's cover of King's "Wasn't Born to Follow", also covered by the Byrds. Different and amazing ...
	5:07pm Michael 98145: i really loved the Byrds back when
	5:10pm Jeff Moore: Yeah, it has that "y" sound because there's an I before the two Ls. Maillard - myarr Mallard - mallarr
	5:11pm Honeybear: you can have both a nasty, persistent problem of (largely male-originating) aggressive behavior, AND... a moment of ... let's just say sometimes weird and cognitively dissonant reactions to it
	5:13pm stalvey: Kim Novak best be here when this dizzy spell passes
	5:14pm common: hello! and I have vertigo.
	5:15pm geezerette: Passaic, that's of course not what I mean. The thing is, there's a distinction between someone being a jerk and being a predator. If someone is rude or backward you can set them straight and avoid them. There will always be co-workers you would never have lunch with for a variety of reasons. Someone slipping a drug in your drink...beating you physically, setting up private "Business" meetings in order to rape you, much different. There seems to be no sense of proportion now and people can loose careers without having had a trial. That's what I mean by analogy to McCarthyism.
	5:15pm V Priceless: was just reading about how many Ray Harryhausen films Bernard Hermann scored!
	5:16pm BronwynB: maestro <3
	5:16pm common: was just speaking of ray harryhausen to a friend today, vp.
	5:16pm geezerette: Fabio. stunning show yet again. :)
	5:17pm dale: loved that hermann. i thought it might have been from day the earth stood still.
	5:17pm Honeybear: geezerette nailed it there
	5:18pm geezerette: Honeybear, thanks. :)
	5:19pm BronwynB: as a millennial woman im supposed 100% in favor of the MeToo Moment and I would say I'm 90% in favor but there's 10% of me that is trying really really hard NOT to think of the satanic panic in the 80s. and i feel really terrible about that, but the mcmartins and the buckeys and poor margaret kelly michaels aren't far from my mind these days. of course it's incredible that we're finally ousting the genuine predators. but we're bound to get a few innocent people swept up in the mix, and that's not good
	👻 5:19pm chris: all the things geezerette said.
	5:19pm Carmichael: I can tell Morricone from a mile away. Same sensitive, soul searching melodrama that breaks into a huge denouement.
	5:19pm V Priceless: hey common! Cool! Two of the best, Harry & Herm
	5:20pm Chris from DC: Th'Roof!
	5:22pm MacGuffin: OMG I didn't mean to set that all off. I've been away, on the other side of the room. BronwynB, I think your remark about the Satanic Abuse panic in the 1980s is spot-on.
	5:23pm geezerette: BronwynnB: Chris: Glad you understand, and thank you. I don't remember a more contentious time. With empathy and kindness we'll all get through it.
	5:24pm BronwynB: its hard bc if i were to share my misgivings in person with my peers or on facebook, i would be excoriated and no one would ever speak to me again. i wish we could have a more reasoned discussion rather than just ALL THE WOMEN ARE LIARS or ALL THE ACCUSED ARE MONSTERS
	5:24pm MacGuffin: Honeybear, I appreciate your common sense and even-handedness, and I LOVE to be called dangerous.
	5:25pm common: indeed, vp!
	5:25pm geezerette: BronwynnB, well said!
	5:26pm BronwynB: thanks geezerette. im glad at the very least i have this space to have reasonable discussions
	5:26pm MacGuffin: Passaic River Blues, yes, and there actually WERE communists in the State Dept and in Hollywood in the 1950s, but that doesn't mean the witch hunt wasn't totally over the top and wrong.
	5:27pm geezerette: Love the Sunroof being open, Fabio!
	5:27pm V Priceless: man...reading Herrmann's wiki...it's literally a list of the greatest motion pictures ever made
	5:28pm dale: bronwyn - i fell like you do, sad that some people's careers may be over when a slap at the time was probably the only punishment deserved. and so much of what's happening is politically or financially motivated.
	5:29pm dale: this music - ha ha!
	5:29pm northguineahills: It's Jesse Kaminsky's bed music!
	5:29pm Michael 98145: if any guy dropped his pants around our office, he'd find himself flying off the parking garage onto the alley. power be damned.
	5:29pm geezerette: Yes, this space is really important to me too. Wonderful people!
	5:30pm Michael 98145: this is really Sun Ra ?! hey
	5:31pm MacGuffin: Meryl Streep is an absolute liar and totally discredited though, on that surely we can all agree? 'Ooooh I didn't know, I'm so shocked!'
	5:31pm Fabio: Trump's organization is behind a lot of these "outings" - seriously. He's getting even with a bunch of people he doesn't like or don't like him and he has dirt on them.
	5:32pm Honeybear: @Michael - it's just that some of the recently exposed "perps" were accused (perhaps rightly) of actions that weren't so clear cut - or anywhere near it.
	5:33pm Michael 98145: true
	5:33pm dale: he learned well from roy cohn
	5:33pm geezerette: Hey Michael! Love Sun Ra's humor, amongst many other qualities.
	5:34pm Michael 98145: i am so glad we got to see Sun Ra. once.
	5:34pm geezerette: What luck!
	5:34pm Michael 98145: i ain't no perfect man, either.
	5:36pm Carmichael: I don't like being in a position where I have to prove my innocence or prove a negative.
	5:37pm common: good stuff, Fabio. I love all of these films
	5:38pm awtum: just rewatched "rear window" again--will never grow tired of it
	5:38pm MacGuffin: What has happened to Garrison Keillor is appalling and that woman should be ashamed of herself.
	5:41pm Honeybear: @MacGuffin right - I'm not sure I quite buy his "alibi". but given the current climate, I'm not surprised he didn't just come out and say, "yeah, I was rather awkwardly and lamely trying to hit on her. And obviously, it didn't come off too well."
	5:41pm Passaic River Blues: We live in an at-will employment world (thanks capitalism!). Generally absent a strong employment contract or firing due to discriminatory intent, we all can be fired at any time for basically any reason. One is very rarely entitled to a trial to keep one's job. Yes, there is a difference between jerks and predators; however, the distinction is less forceful when the person on the jerk-monster is one's boss. I don't understand how so many are so angry that women are tired of being forced to endure behavior that ranges from the gross to criminal from people who control their livelihoods. I apologize for being flip before, but I am tired of people shouting "Sex panic!" in response to news about men who proposition their employees or repeatedly make them feel disgusting. I don't care if I seem a scold or a moralist--fuck those guys. ... The comparison to the Satanic Abuse trials and HUAC investigations is inapposite, in my opinion. As to the former, the accusers were literally five year olds and involved criminal investigations by politically motivated DA offices with the full panoply of law enforcement powers. HUAC quite actually made shit up, was entirely cynical, and again enjoyed state power. With this raft of firings, we're talking private actors responding to internally investigated complaints where no criminal penalties attach and, again, the employment law standards are entirely different.
	5:43pm Passaic River Blues: Oh, when I said "fuck those guys" I meant fired creeps, not people who disagree with me. I should have been more clear.
	5:46pm Michael 98145: speaking of which, this is some weird music
	5:47pm nic: great !!!
	5:49pm Michael 98145: [ if we're not careful, -sibyl of the rhine- will be summoned ] :)
	5:49pm Honeybear: I don't fault his (GK's) accuser, though. she's only human, also - and who knows what else she's been through in this life
	5:50pm awtum: women are sick of these guys getting away with this stuff. Creeps with power so maybe there is an overreact to correct for the lack of reaction. i think very few women in real life would fake this kind of thing, it is extremely unpleasant
	5:51pm MacGuffin: I haven't heard his alibi, but I just think what is happening is unfortunate. I shall leave you with the immortal words of one Thomas Babington Macauley: 'We know no spectacle so ridiculous as the British public in one of its periodical fits of morality.'
	5:51pm MacGuffin: I will leave you to draw your own parallels.
	5:52pm awtum: in the realm of politics i think there is more room for fakery. i am so sad about al franked
	5:52pm Dean: For a contemporary, self-critical take on the McMartin era, see James Kincaid's Erotic Innocence: The Culture of Child Molesting. It's actually quite funny. Kincaid resorts to humor as sublimation of the painful and bizarre stories that occupied the media. I happen to think the outpouring of testimony against men (particularly men in power) is on balance good. There is risk of backlash, naturally, and "my side" won't always win (compare Franken with Moore), but the way many men act toward and talk about women makes many men (as human beings, as partners and associates with women) uncomfortable, too.
	5:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Perfect soundtrack to somnambulistic trance I've been in for some time...
	5:54pm dale: love me some ham radio mixed in.
	5:54pm Michael 98145: yes
	5:55pm awtum: yeah, give me a slice o cheese with that ham!
	5:55pm coelacanth∅: been reading this comment board since about 5 and i'm reminded how Thankful i am for the different perspectives, and different ways to articulate similar opinions that is not uncommon on a wfmu comment board.
	5:56pm northguineahills: Thanks Fabio!
	5:57pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Fabio! Excellent as always.
	5:57pm geezerette: Thanks, Fabio!
	5:57pm northguineahills: It's been a good two years since Fabio played this piece.
	5:58pm Honeybear: I see this whole "wave" (or whatever one wishes to call it) as a mix: of part totally justified, long-overdue affirmation and comeuppance. and part generalized dystopian mindfuck that is targeting all of us indiscriminantly
	👻 5:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks...bye, all!
	👻 5:58pm chris: thanks, Fabio!
	5:59pm dale: that sounded like ken's harrassment alarm!
	6:00pm Dean: For sure, @Honeybear, the problem being that when the wave of comeuppance ebbs, the "generalized dystopian mindfuck that is targeting all of us indiscriminantly" part will persist.
	6:01pm Michael 98145: thanks again, Fabio
	👻 6:01pm mrdonutsu: Ho ho!
	6:01pm nic: great show
	6:02pm Honeybear: @Dean yup, persist for a while it shall. But against which we'll always have Fabio's lovely programme as a foundation of composure, resilience and sanity on which to rely
	1:30pm raga: I feel that the Robert Haigh piece was definitely used in a motion picture soundtrack but I cannot place which one.

	4:47pm awtum: Wow, loving this
	4:51pm MacGuffin: This is an amusing riposte to the sexual McCarthyism that is sweeping the English-speaking world.
	4:52pm Papayo: im a new fan of your program. :) i like ver much.
	4:57pm Honeybear: @MacGuffin indeed - it almost feels slightly dangerous to even be in your company as you suggest that
	👻 5:00pm Ken From Hyde Park: When I go on vacation, I want to go to Failure World.
	5:00pm geezerette: MacGuffin, "Sexual McCarthyism" is accurate. Does anyone remember Orwell's "Junior Anti-Sex League" in "1984"?
	5:00pm βrian: Anyway, hearing am I what?
	5:03pm βrian: I wonder how the #me_too analysis is playing out in the French press.
	5:04pm Passaic River Blues: Yeah, it's really too bad supervisors can't rape and/or grope their employees with impunity because of all the McCarthyism.
	5:04pm Honeybear: @KFHP I'm ready to just throw it all in and make it my permanent address. And only commute into "successLand" occasionally for $work. (or ideally, telecommute)
	5:05pm Honeybear: @PRB it's not either/or
	5:07pm Carmichael: I just heard Dusty Springfield's cover of King's "Wasn't Born to Follow", also covered by the Byrds. Different and amazing ...
	5:07pm Michael 98145: i really loved the Byrds back when
	5:10pm Jeff Moore: Yeah, it has that "y" sound because there's an I before the two Ls. Maillard - myarr Mallard - mallarr
	5:11pm Honeybear: you can have both a nasty, persistent problem of (largely male-originating) aggressive behavior, AND... a moment of ... let's just say sometimes weird and cognitively dissonant reactions to it
	5:13pm stalvey: Kim Novak best be here when this dizzy spell passes
	5:14pm common: hello! and I have vertigo.
	5:15pm geezerette: Passaic, that's of course not what I mean. The thing is, there's a distinction between someone being a jerk and being a predator. If someone is rude or backward you can set them straight and avoid them. There will always be co-workers you would never have lunch with for a variety of reasons. Someone slipping a drug in your drink...beating you physically, setting up private "Business" meetings in order to rape you, much different. There seems to be no sense of proportion now and people can loose careers without having had a trial. That's what I mean by analogy to McCarthyism.
	5:15pm V Priceless: was just reading about how many Ray Harryhausen films Bernard Hermann scored!
	5:16pm BronwynB: maestro <3
	5:16pm common: was just speaking of ray harryhausen to a friend today, vp.
	5:16pm geezerette: Fabio. stunning show yet again. :)
	5:17pm dale: loved that hermann. i thought it might have been from day the earth stood still.
	5:17pm Honeybear: geezerette nailed it there
	5:18pm geezerette: Honeybear, thanks. :)
	5:19pm BronwynB: as a millennial woman im supposed 100% in favor of the MeToo Moment and I would say I'm 90% in favor but there's 10% of me that is trying really really hard NOT to think of the satanic panic in the 80s. and i feel really terrible about that, but the mcmartins and the buckeys and poor margaret kelly michaels aren't far from my mind these days. of course it's incredible that we're finally ousting the genuine predators. but we're bound to get a few innocent people swept up in the mix, and that's not good
	👻 5:19pm chris: all the things geezerette said.
	5:19pm Carmichael: I can tell Morricone from a mile away. Same sensitive, soul searching melodrama that breaks into a huge denouement.
	5:19pm V Priceless: hey common! Cool! Two of the best, Harry & Herm
	5:20pm Chris from DC: Th'Roof!
	5:22pm MacGuffin: OMG I didn't mean to set that all off. I've been away, on the other side of the room. BronwynB, I think your remark about the Satanic Abuse panic in the 1980s is spot-on.
	5:23pm geezerette: BronwynnB: Chris: Glad you understand, and thank you. I don't remember a more contentious time. With empathy and kindness we'll all get through it.
	5:24pm BronwynB: its hard bc if i were to share my misgivings in person with my peers or on facebook, i would be excoriated and no one would ever speak to me again. i wish we could have a more reasoned discussion rather than just ALL THE WOMEN ARE LIARS or ALL THE ACCUSED ARE MONSTERS
	5:24pm MacGuffin: Honeybear, I appreciate your common sense and even-handedness, and I LOVE to be called dangerous.
	5:25pm common: indeed, vp!
	5:25pm geezerette: BronwynnB, well said!
	5:26pm BronwynB: thanks geezerette. im glad at the very least i have this space to have reasonable discussions
	5:26pm MacGuffin: Passaic River Blues, yes, and there actually WERE communists in the State Dept and in Hollywood in the 1950s, but that doesn't mean the witch hunt wasn't totally over the top and wrong.
	5:27pm geezerette: Love the Sunroof being open, Fabio!
	5:27pm V Priceless: man...reading Herrmann's wiki...it's literally a list of the greatest motion pictures ever made
	5:28pm dale: bronwyn - i fell like you do, sad that some people's careers may be over when a slap at the time was probably the only punishment deserved. and so much of what's happening is politically or financially motivated.
	5:29pm dale: this music - ha ha!
	5:29pm northguineahills: It's Jesse Kaminsky's bed music!
	5:29pm Michael 98145: if any guy dropped his pants around our office, he'd find himself flying off the parking garage onto the alley. power be damned.
	5:29pm geezerette: Yes, this space is really important to me too. Wonderful people!
	5:30pm Michael 98145: this is really Sun Ra ?! hey
	5:31pm MacGuffin: Meryl Streep is an absolute liar and totally discredited though, on that surely we can all agree? 'Ooooh I didn't know, I'm so shocked!'
	5:31pm Fabio: Trump's organization is behind a lot of these "outings" - seriously. He's getting even with a bunch of people he doesn't like or don't like him and he has dirt on them.
	5:32pm Honeybear: @Michael - it's just that some of the recently exposed "perps" were accused (perhaps rightly) of actions that weren't so clear cut - or anywhere near it.
	5:33pm Michael 98145: true
	5:33pm dale: he learned well from roy cohn
	5:33pm geezerette: Hey Michael! Love Sun Ra's humor, amongst many other qualities.
	5:34pm Michael 98145: i am so glad we got to see Sun Ra. once.
	5:34pm geezerette: What luck!
	5:34pm Michael 98145: i ain't no perfect man, either.
	5:36pm Carmichael: I don't like being in a position where I have to prove my innocence or prove a negative.
	5:37pm common: good stuff, Fabio. I love all of these films
	5:38pm awtum: just rewatched "rear window" again--will never grow tired of it
	5:38pm MacGuffin: What has happened to Garrison Keillor is appalling and that woman should be ashamed of herself.
	5:41pm Honeybear: @MacGuffin right - I'm not sure I quite buy his "alibi". but given the current climate, I'm not surprised he didn't just come out and say, "yeah, I was rather awkwardly and lamely trying to hit on her. And obviously, it didn't come off too well."
	5:41pm Passaic River Blues: We live in an at-will employment world (thanks capitalism!). Generally absent a strong employment contract or firing due to discriminatory intent, we all can be fired at any time for basically any reason. One is very rarely entitled to a trial to keep one's job. Yes, there is a difference between jerks and predators; however, the distinction is less forceful when the person on the jerk-monster is one's boss. I don't understand how so many are so angry that women are tired of being forced to endure behavior that ranges from the gross to criminal from people who control their livelihoods. I apologize for being flip before, but I am tired of people shouting "Sex panic!" in response to news about men who proposition their employees or repeatedly make them feel disgusting. I don't care if I seem a scold or a moralist--fuck those guys. ... The comparison to the Satanic Abuse trials and HUAC investigations is inapposite, in my opinion. As to the former, the accusers were literally five year olds and involved criminal investigations by politically motivated DA offices with the full panoply of law enforcement powers. HUAC quite actually made shit up, was entirely cynical, and again enjoyed state power. With this raft of firings, we're talking private actors responding to internally investigated complaints where no criminal penalties attach and, again, the employment law standards are entirely different.
	5:43pm Passaic River Blues: Oh, when I said "fuck those guys" I meant fired creeps, not people who disagree with me. I should have been more clear.
	5:46pm Michael 98145: speaking of which, this is some weird music
	5:47pm nic: great !!!
	5:49pm Michael 98145: [ if we're not careful, -sibyl of the rhine- will be summoned ] :)
	5:49pm Honeybear: I don't fault his (GK's) accuser, though. she's only human, also - and who knows what else she's been through in this life
	5:50pm awtum: women are sick of these guys getting away with this stuff. Creeps with power so maybe there is an overreact to correct for the lack of reaction. i think very few women in real life would fake this kind of thing, it is extremely unpleasant
	5:51pm MacGuffin: I haven't heard his alibi, but I just think what is happening is unfortunate. I shall leave you with the immortal words of one Thomas Babington Macauley: 'We know no spectacle so ridiculous as the British public in one of its periodical fits of morality.'
	5:51pm MacGuffin: I will leave you to draw your own parallels.
	5:52pm awtum: in the realm of politics i think there is more room for fakery. i am so sad about al franked
	5:52pm Dean: For a contemporary, self-critical take on the McMartin era, see James Kincaid's Erotic Innocence: The Culture of Child Molesting. It's actually quite funny. Kincaid resorts to humor as sublimation of the painful and bizarre stories that occupied the media. I happen to think the outpouring of testimony against men (particularly men in power) is on balance good. There is risk of backlash, naturally, and "my side" won't always win (compare Franken with Moore), but the way many men act toward and talk about women makes many men (as human beings, as partners and associates with women) uncomfortable, too.
	5:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Perfect soundtrack to somnambulistic trance I've been in for some time...
	5:54pm dale: love me some ham radio mixed in.
	5:54pm Michael 98145: yes
	5:55pm awtum: yeah, give me a slice o cheese with that ham!
	5:55pm coelacanth∅: been reading this comment board since about 5 and i'm reminded how Thankful i am for the different perspectives, and different ways to articulate similar opinions that is not uncommon on a wfmu comment board.
	5:56pm northguineahills: Thanks Fabio!
	5:57pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Fabio! Excellent as always.
	5:57pm geezerette: Thanks, Fabio!
	5:57pm northguineahills: It's been a good two years since Fabio played this piece.
	5:58pm Honeybear: I see this whole "wave" (or whatever one wishes to call it) as a mix: of part totally justified, long-overdue affirmation and comeuppance. and part generalized dystopian mindfuck that is targeting all of us indiscriminantly
	👻 5:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks...bye, all!
	👻 5:58pm chris: thanks, Fabio!
	5:59pm dale: that sounded like ken's harrassment alarm!
	6:00pm Dean: For sure, @Honeybear, the problem being that when the wave of comeuppance ebbs, the "generalized dystopian mindfuck that is targeting all of us indiscriminantly" part will persist.
	6:01pm Michael 98145: thanks again, Fabio
	👻 6:01pm mrdonutsu: Ho ho!
	6:01pm nic: great show
	6:02pm Honeybear: @Dean yup, persist for a while it shall. But against which we'll always have Fabio's lovely programme as a foundation of composure, resilience and sanity on which to rely
	1:30pm raga: I feel that the Robert Haigh piece was definitely used in a motion picture soundtrack but I cannot place which one.
