WFMU: Strength Through Failure with Fabio: Playlist from November 1, 2018

Listener comments!
	👻 3:04pm Threemoons: I gotta say this song is one of my favorite WFMU set openers.
	3:05pm Jack: RIP Hardy Fox
	3:06pm The Oscar: Sad about Mr. Fox, but looking forward to today's set.
	3:07pm Cheri Pi: Greetings. Looking forward to the show today, RIP Hardy
	👻 3:07pm chresti: hello! Happy day of the dead!
	👻 3:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: Mr. Giant Man may be dead but will live on in our hearts eternally.
	3:10pm rum dog: I saw the residents in denver recently and it was cool
	3:11pm coelacanth∅: 3moons i like the song but i was just thinking how years ago (1991?) when i was talking about wfmu to a new friend he chose mr.giant man to mimic to demonstrate how bad wfmu was! i got my girlfriend into it and between the 2 of us i think he did come around to liking the station. (i don't know about the song)
	3:12pm Webhamster Henry: Hi Fabio! My old friend "Nik Fault" of Rhythm & Noise was tight with the Residents.
	3:12pm coelacanth∅: rest in peace Hardy Fox.
	3:13pm βrian: I liked the song well enough ... until I heard it for a second time, that is.
	3:13pm melinda: hi all!
	3:13pm βrian: (And yet I persist.)
	👻 3:13pm chresti: I have a friend who lived in SOMA part of San Francisco, where he would look up and see guys with eyeballs on their heads moving around
	3:13pm steveo: probably no one in the universe has heard mr. giant man as many times as Fabio has
	3:14pm melinda: @coel 3:11 that's hilarious
	3:15pm melinda: It's one of my favorite openers too, though I usually miss it.
	👻 3:15pm chresti: I like the "Hi Ho!..."
	3:16pm Michael 98145: some folks just need to rethink their attitude :)
	👻 3:18pm Rev. Turnip Druid: this is the big hello.
	3:18pm northguineahills: Didn't Hardy Fox say he didn't expect to outlive the year?
	3:20pm Fashion Tashjian: Howdy Fabio & fellow mighty failures. I don't think I checked in in years on this program due to the time zone difference. However, here I am. Bless ye. I also had a very interesting experience where I was introducing someone to WFMU in 2007 and Mr Giant Man was their first exposure. I told them to stick around, they waited for the next track and I'm confident they never returned))
	👻 3:20pm chresti: yes ngh-
	👻 3:23pm chresti: is there a telly savalas "Who loves ya baby" song?
	3:27pm Chris from DC: @chresti, yes! www.youtube.com...
	👻 3:29pm chresti: Thanks-I thought so
	👻 3:30pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Toad, that's one damn sight better than Pac Man Fever.
	👻 3:30pm Rev. Turnip Druid: As are these Hooligans.
	3:30pm Chris from DC: Who loves ya, Hooligans?
	3:32pm Stephen O: That was some pretty accurate mood setting music to bring us back to reality.
	👻 3:34pm Rev. Turnip Druid: SPEED KILLS.
	👻 3:34pm Rev. Turnip Druid: and thank gawd for that.
	3:35pm northguineahills: I don't do sugar, my coffee comes black and unadulterated (and I rarely drink it, espresso, more often).
	3:36pm wolfg: uhm
	3:37pm spodiodi: I avoid sugar and coffee. Tea is where it's at.
	3:37pm βrian: I don't believe coffee is coffee if it has sugar. Especially espresso.
	3:38pm MD: YOU GOTTA HAVE IT UN-CUT BABY!!!! DON'T STEP ON YOUR COFFEE!!!!
	3:38pm The Oscar: I take my coffee with a lot of sugar. I always get self-conscious when it's in packets-- I feel like Jeff Goldblum in The Fly.
	👻 3:38pm chresti: a touch of creme will do
	3:38pm wolfg: the failure of freeform, I guess
	3:38pm spodiodi: Coffee ice cream is nice.
	👻 3:38pm Rev. Turnip Druid: It's been black coffee without any CRAP in it, since day one. Makes the whole thing like a cleansing fire of acidic goodness. JESUS i need a coffee now. NOW NOW NOW.
	3:39pm βrian: @spodiodi: Yes, but that's another beast.
	3:39pm coelacanth∅: i have coffee 1-2 x/week (honey or creme but not usually both) but mostly tea for me
	3:39pm wolfg: it be better to stick to the point, if there ever was one
	3:39pm melinda: Espresso is better with something added, I like cream. That may be an abomination but I don't care. Black tea is definitely better with some sugar, I think it brings out some notes.
	3:39pm Chris from DC: Black coffee, thanks. I wouldn't turn down a coffee stout about now either.
	👻 3:40pm chresti: I heard that black coffee can cause psychosis
	3:40pm northguineahills: @spodiodi: I only drink coffee/ espresso at special places, or in a hurry at the airport. I stick to yerba mate in the morning, and tea in the afternoon (chinese green today).
	👻 3:40pm chresti: I chose to ignore it
	3:40pm βrian: ♪ ♫ "Nina, nina won't be just any na!"
	👻 3:40pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Just now an office-mate came back from somewhere with a huge coffee. The universe, it mocks me.
	3:41pm northguineahills: @the good Rev: unadulterated coffee since I started uni, I overdid it in grad school, and rarely touch it now.
	3:41pm coelacanth∅: saying coffee is not coffee if it's enhanced is like saying you don't like bread if you make sandwiches with it.
	3:42pm βrian: I ordered an espresso at some little nondescript cafe in Belot, WI. I was a little annoyed at how long it took — until I tasted. My god, the best espresso I'd had in decades!
	3:42pm melinda: @ngh airport layovers are when I treat myself to a Starbucks decaf espresso. Other times in life I avoid the business. @coel I agree.
	👻 3:42pm Rev. Turnip Druid: running out for an espresso sandwich now. I blame society.
	👻 3:43pm chresti: espresso gets better and better
	👻 3:44pm chresti: haha Rev
	3:46pm Chris from DC: Pro tip, if you have a real strong coffee don't follow it with chocolate covered espresso beans. Found that out the hard way.
	3:46pm coelacanth∅: i had a genmaicha tea the other day and she made it a little weak so i felt i needed something more. got an espresso, which is automatically 2 shots -that's how their machine works...and added 1/2&1/2. i'd have used heavy cream, given the choice; but mm mm mm!
	3:50pm northguineahills: Kings(queens) of England, curious name.
	3:51pm Tony: I think if you have to add sugar to an espresso, it means the espresso was not well made so it's too bitter.
	3:52pm wolfg: no espresso is with sugar mos of the times
	3:53pm Fabio: If you go to any cafe (aka Bar) in Italy, you will see a giant bowl of sugar at the counter. Almost everyone who orders an espresso in Italy takes sugar with it. It's just the way they like it.
	3:53pm melinda: Espresso is always going to be intense, whether it's bitter or "fruity" or whatever. Some like to balance the intensity with another ingredient.
	3:53pm wolfg: I like double espresso with lots of milk which mounts to latte macciato, and then no sugar
	3:54pm wolfg: just espresso without milk needs sugar though
	3:55pm wolfg: I m from austria, thats coffee nation
	3:55pm wolfg: espresso , no milk, no sugar is cruel
	3:56pm coelacanth∅: melinda -exactly.
	3:57pm wolfg: well I ll get some more coffee guess
	3:58pm wolfg: I dont want to work buhu aww
	3:58pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Two sugars and almond milk for this Wild Neil. Dairy free at least. NO POWDER! Aldi's light roast is good, so is Starbucks BLONDE coffee, not that Pike Peaks shit, that tastes like dirt.
	3:58pm wolfg: I want to sleep
	3:58pm northguineahills: I love the flavor of good espresso by itself. Even w/ shitty coffee I put nothing in it.
	3:59pm wolfg: I have lavazza press coffee ... milk no sugar
	4:00pm βrian: Mr Rogers: "Little espresso, I like you just the way you are!
	4:00pm wolfg: I like these huge milk bottles, we didnt have those in austria
	4:00pm βrian: Baby Animal would fit in with this set.
	4:01pm wolfg: they are really american
	4:01pm coelacanth∅: my mother always did and still does drink lots of coffee -nothing added. my father always added lots of milk and sugar. i guess i'm inbetween, slightly more like my mother
	4:02pm wolfg: yea
	4:03pm wolfg: coffee
	4:03pm wolfg: to smell ground coffee bean is good against cancer
	👻 4:04pm chresti: my mom used to put eggshells in the coffee grounds in the early sixties, not sure why
	4:04pm The Oscar: The one thing I am a snob about is the beans themselves. There's an amazing, ancient shop in Boston's North End with TONS of coffee beans by the pound, plus looseleaf tea and bulk spices. I never buy my coffee beans anywhere else.
	4:05pm zpulpa: coffee? coffee!!! im sleeeepy, two more hours before my nap. I started the day with some condensed milk in my coffee.... special treat.
	4:06pm ike: Some green teas are better w/a little sugar or honey. Others are better naked.
	4:07pm spodiodi: cheers, ngh. green tea here presently. generally have 3-4 diff kinds of tea per day... and drink it all day long. yerba mate is new to me, have to try some
	4:07pm Tony: @Fabio, when I traveled to Italy I followed the locals and put sugar in my espresso, but then I realized that it was not needed much of the time. I do love the Italian tradition of standing at the bar and drinking coffee. I wish that existed in the US.
	4:07pm βrian: In installed a big range hood in our kitchen, which has the advantage that it allows us to roast coffee there. Makes quite a bit of smoke.
	4:07pm Cmurtha: I rarely do coffee, but when I have expresso, or plain turkish cofee is great.
	4:08pm listener monica: i like my men like i like my coffee: dark, light, strong, and sweet.
	4:08pm βrian: Tengu: en.wikipedia.org...
	4:10pm βrian: Cream postcard: www.cardcow.com...
	4:10pm steveo: whoa! i didn't even know people in Pennsylvania had ears!
	4:11pm spodiodi: elkins park, nice
	4:12pm northguineahills: The only pennybont I know of is a village in Wales, so, good guess!
	👻 4:12pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Coffee has been secured. You may continue.
	👻 4:13pm Rev. Turnip Druid: or rather, what passes for coffee in this 'hood.
	4:14pm tim from champaign: I'm interested in hearing this upcoming Residents set. I'm very unfamiliar with their output. I trust Fabio's curation.
	4:14pm coelacanth∅: monica you're spying on me! ...i'm going to nj in a few days -maybe you have some time?
	4:15pm coelacanth∅: (sorry - you know i don't text)
	4:15pm Devin B.: Excited for this!
	4:16pm The Oscar: The Residents were such an important band for me in high school. I'm pretty sure I made every person I knew listen to Third Reich 'n' Roll, whether they wanted to or not.
	4:16pm northguineahills: I like my women like I like my coffee, black! Wait, my woman is more of a dark caramel. I guess I need to add a wee bit of milk to my coffee from now on!
	4:17pm melinda: This was my intro to The Residents, from a mix tape my sister made for me.
	4:20pm tomservo: I've been hooked on the residents for about 15 years now, finally saw them this last spring in Denver. Probably one of my favorite performances
	4:21pm βrian: Huh, I like my coffee hot, but I also like it cold, so what does that say? (Definitely not lukewarm, in any case.)
	4:21pm kudubundu: Gobsmacked to hear The Residents on a radio station. It's been too long, I must rescue my old vinyl albums from my attic!
	4:22pm Scott: The Residents are one strange bunch. I had an LP from about 1980 or so, I think it might have been the Residents' Commercial Album, where each song was exactly 1 minute. Also had the Eskimo album, can't remember the name, I really liked that.
	4:23pm Jack: They were so prolific (and varied), it was difficult to keep track of them. I recommend "The Theory of Obscurity -A Film About The Residents "
	4:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Never saturated myself in Residents...but listening to Church of SubGenius Hour of Slack all the time now & suchlike...seems a pretty familiar neighborhood...
	4:24pm Devin B.: A friend and I saw the video for "Simple Song" on public access TV sometime in the early 90s. Minds blown.
	4:25pm The Oscar: @Jack Seconded on the doc. It features extensive interviews with (probably) the original quartet, including Hardy.
	4:25pm Rich in Washington: The Residents had their radio debut on KBOO Community Radio in the mid 70s. I interviewed Homer Flynn a few years ago and he finally confirmed this long-running, at times thought apocryphal tale. It was on a show run by a gentleman named Bill Reinhardt, who did a wonderful program called Radio Lab (years before the similarly named podcast). He was a friend of the Residents in the early days and hung out with them and they sent him a tape especially prepared for airplay on KBOO.
	4:25pm northguineahills: @βrian: I drink my coffee until it's gone (when I have any). Sometimes it can take half a day, and it's definitely room temperature by then. (I never waste caffeine or booze).
	4:25pm Cmurtha: RIP Hardy. The Residents are so good. Whenever I hear stuff from The King and Eye/The Album where they cover Gershwin and Hank Williams I think of the cube-e performances which are so good. As for getting into them tim - imo there's not too many bad places to start with their catalogue. As for everyone else - their two albums that dropped this year are great if you've not given them a listen yet!
	4:25pm Uncle Michael: Gotta love a former member of the Kingston Trio getting roylaties from Residents records.
	4:26pm northguineahills: @Scott: I have that album. It took a while for me to warm up to it...
	4:26pm spodiodi: You can really hear The Residents' influence in Les Claypool's singing style.
	4:26pm Jack: You'd see them a lot on MTV in the early years; they were one of the few bands that did videos at that time.
	4:27pm Uncle Michael: The Eskimo album was called "Eskimo".
	4:27pm Webhamster Henry: Kaw-lija is one of my faves.
	4:27pm The Oscar: For a starting point, I usually either opt for Duck Stab/Buster & Glen (probably their best batch of "songs") or Third Reich & Roll (their funniest concept). Or The Commercial Album, which splits the difference.
	4:28pm Hmbn: Anyone remember Snakefinger? I loved him and saw him a few times...
	👻 4:28pm jmr3: Scott - I had those same two records, plus a 7" sampler from Ralph Records - Buy or Die!!! with great Gary Panter cover art, with Snakefinger, Fred Frith. I was a kid, I didn't want to die, so I sent them cash in the mail.
	4:29pm Michael 98145: of course, Snakefinger !! yes
	4:29pm Jack: One of my biggest regrets in life is that I never saw the Residents in concert.
	4:30pm Webhamster Henry: Freak Show was a CD-ROM with little animations on it.
	4:30pm Uncle Michael: I saw them once, on the first tour after the one eyeball was stolen.
	👻 4:30pm chresti: I like Renaldo and the loaf, too
	4:31pm Cmurtha: You can still change that jack!
	4:31pm uuee: Ol Hank is grooving in his grave!...Kawliga...Junior made him spin real fast in his grave, saw the drawing in an old LCD listener art page.
	4:31pm mrmikestandsir: yes Snakefinger was fabulous I saw him once also. he died way way too early. He really helped to define Ralph Records sound
	4:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's nifty Arrangement~Production - concepts, quirks & gimmicks aside...
	4:32pm Rich in Washington: Sending away for a Ralph Records catalog after seeing a tiny ad in Rolling Stone was a total life-changing moment for me. It fucked me up for normal music forever. The first Residents album I bought with my meager teenage allowance was Third Reich and Roll and the Satisfaction 7" single. I think I still have the catalogs - I was on their mailing list well into the early 90s.
	4:32pm melinda: I have no recollection of Residents videos on early MTV, far out.
	4:33pm Hmbn: Hey Fabs, would u play some Snakefinger or Residents that feature Snakefinger? How about "Here Comes the Bums" or "I love her to much to respect her..."?
	4:33pm The Oscar: I'm lucky enough to have seen them three times. It's easy to overlook among all the conceptual stuff, but Homer/"The Singing Resident" is a hell of a frontman, even today.
	👻 4:34pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Everything up to King & Eye, in my humble, is absolutely infallible.
	4:34pm Rich in Washington: I remember also getting two paper turntable slipmats stuff in the record mailer with that first order - one the classic eyeball image and the other the Eskimo cover shot (the four eyeballs in tuxes). I DO still have those and news of Mr. Fox's passing has inspired me to frame them and hang them up after almost 40 years.
	4:35pm Michael 98145: ... also was a big Tuxedomoon fan -
	4:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Like Matt Groening describes seeing Beefheart & the Magic Band the 1st time & having the limits redefined for him - I imagine the Residents have provided similar service in another era...
	4:36pm Rich in Washington: Homer was the conceptual brain of the Rez and Hardy the musical heart. It will be interesting how the eyeballs roll on without the latter.
	4:37pm Rich in Washington: but roll they will. Of that I have little doubt.
	👻 4:37pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Also the collab with Renaldo & the Loaf is the stuff of legend. The video they did for Swinging Larvae.... hooboy.
	4:37pm geezerette: This show hits the spot. :)
	4:38pm The Oscar: PLEASE EVERYBODY.
	4:38pm Michael 98145: what gz'ette just said
	4:38pm Michael 98145: loving this
	4:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (Before they mashed themselves up for the Cirque du Soleil Love thing...)
	4:39pm spodiodi: sweet set, Fabio
	4:39pm geezerette: me too!!! :D
	👻 4:39pm Rev. Turnip Druid: also, the NOT AVAILABLE album is a peak triumph of human achievement, utterly flawless.
	4:39pm dale: hello fabio and fabious people. i can tell by the sounds and the comments that a star has left the building. eskimo was my first taste of the residents.
	4:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...oh - yeah - was afraid of that...
	4:41pm northguineahills: @The Oscar, don't forget the U2 record. @Rich: so jealous!
	👻 4:41pm Rev. Turnip Druid: dale: same re: eskimo; permanent classic, still the favorite.
	4:42pm dale: this one sounds like amanda.
	4:43pm northguineahills: I love that recently the Residents ditched the Eyball/tux outfits for 14th c. Bubonic plague ('doctors') masks.
	4:44pm Uncle Michael: When Eskimo dropped, I thought it was really scary.
	👻 4:44pm Mick: Thank you for this set Fabio
	4:45pm The Oscar: Even after all these years, this album can't not make me smile.
	4:45pm geezerette: Therapeutic!
	4:46pm slugluv1313: yes! i have that "Buy or Die!" sampler too! i think i must have started sending for The Residents' singles in the mid-1970s? still living at home with the parents in "the sticks" (a/k/a central rural/suburban NJ) . . . saving up my lunch money & using it to buy records instead . . . :) although i have no recollection about how i first heard about them (possibly a photo of them in their newspaper outfits/blurb about then in one of the "rock" magazines???) years later, saw them with the "ex" during their Cube-E tour . . . TOTALLY amazing and mind-blowing and still one of the BEST shows i have seen EVER (and not just saying that b/c we were both doing a half-hit of acid) THANK YOU FABIO for this beautiful tribute . . . The Residents meant/mean so much to so many of this . . . .
	4:47pm geezerette: Imaging Muppets singing this.
	4:47pm dale: geezerette - or the peanuts kids dancing to it.
	4:48pm The Oscar: Technically, I first heard them in preschool-- they scored a few episodes of Pee-Wee's Playhouse :)
	4:48pm Jack: Yes, thanks Fabio!
	4:48pm slugluv1313: HELLO SKINNY film too! soooooo warped in a truly magical wonderful way
	4:48pm Asheville Jon: aw gees, tuned in to hear some residents to see that HF died. :(
	4:49pm geezerette: That was a much freer time. Miss the freedom.
	4:52pm Hmbn: Hey all, call me ignorant but was it ever established who exactly the Residents were/are?
	4:53pm Marshall Stacks: R.I.P.
	4:53pm slugluv1313: all those old Ralph Records remain great . . . and just recalling Gary Panter spray painting a beat-up old couch for us . . . TOTALLY transforming it into a thing of pure gorgeousness . . .
	4:54pm The Oscar: Fun fact: that horn blast is the first known instance of someone sampling James Brown on record.
	4:54pm tim from champaign: Ok, I'm definitely joining the Residents bandwagon after years on the sidelines. This is the introduction I needed.
	4:54pm geezerette: Art was exciting and passionate, all that crazy, experimental feeling.
	👻 4:54pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Their material was equally inspiring & frustrating: on the surface much of it sounded childish & simple, but was much more; no-one else could have pulled it off.
	4:54pm The Oscar: @Hmbn It's more or less accepted that the core were Homer Flynn and Hardy Fox, the latter of whom sadly passed away this week.
	4:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Love how it's all Deconstructionist & Sardonic @ the same time it's steeped in & references Pop all the time - in, I think, an actually loving way. As I think Hal Wilner said in Carl Stalling liner notes: The Music of our Subconscious... Oh - RTD just said something much better...
	4:55pm Hmbn: Huh, thank you The Oscar.
	4:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Warhol: 'I painted Campbell's cans cause I saw them every damn day'...
	4:56pm slugluv1313: @ geezerette -- you said it!!! people were NOT afraid to create and use their imaginations!
	4:57pm The Oscar: Have to split, but thank you for this set Fabio-- this has been wonderful.
	4:58pm geezerette: RevRab,Rev TD , both true and well said. :)
	👻 5:01pm Rev. Turnip Druid: YASSSSSSSSSSSKIMO!
	5:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Like they talk about the Bonzos not being dismissive of DooWop - & what have you - in quite the sharp way the Mothers were ...the expressions here are harder to read :) @ @ @ @ Y -Y -Y -Y
	5:05pm geezerette: slugluv,we have to protect our imaginations now. Feed them and exercise them and then share them. Solidarity!
	5:07pm mzz: i liked soak myself into the old Residents tracks...
	5:08pm geezerette: (YAY, Fabio!!!)
	👻 5:09pm Rev. Turnip Druid: played this stuff so much as a teenager I tend to neglect it now... which is a crime. That "Intermission" ep from the Mole era is a mighty classic as well.
	5:09pm Carmichael: Finally, I get to my computer.
	5:10pm P-90: A Residents fan since about 1976, and that’s a long time now when you think about it. But I’m still a little surprised at how personal the loss of Hardy Fox feels to me.
	5:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...whoever thot there would ever be any such Community in which we might discuss this as baseline normal...
	5:11pm geezerette: This is Reagan era DADA.
	5:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...&/or its' notable influences...
	5:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (on others)
	5:12pm Michael 98145: @RRN63, we could have never anticipated anything like this back in the 70s.
	5:16pm geezerette: This IS pretty nearly telepathy.
	5:16pm northguineahills: Ahhhhh, WFMU is only 3% away from their goal. Please make it happen before I leave work!
	5:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I remember feeling like it was AntiArt or something - or some sardonic joke I wasn't in on...but now - I think you hear it's effect all over SubGenius, DO or DIY...I'm on the lower tier of who's qualified to delineate this in present company...
	5:17pm Dave in Vermont: Montpelier; mont-PEEL-yur
	5:19pm fred: Thanks a lot for this set, Fabio. I didn't realize how good/important The Residents were before hearing it
	5:20pm Dave in Vermont: I just saw Montparnasse Bienvenue (at the VT Intl Film Fest) which at some points reminded me of Lovers on the Bridge as a look at folks on the edge struggling with homelessness and mental health.
	5:20pm northguineahills: @Dave: Unless it's Montpelier, France.
	👻 5:20pm Rev. Turnip Druid: what Dave in VT said. Us suburban Maryland folk would likewise have said mont-PEEL-yer, whether or not it's correct in any sense.
	5:21pm Dave in Vermont: both take place in Paris
	5:21pm Dave in Vermont: @NGH or Canada
	5:23pm geezerette: Is that the one with Jeanne Moreau?
	5:23pm northguineahills: @Dave:True!
	👻 5:23pm chresti: moan-PEL-li ay
	5:23pm geezerette: ...the Welles film.
	5:24pm Rich in Washington: P-90: I feel very much the same. I think it's that in the end, he so nakedly told us he was going, took the mask off, literally. I never got to interview him - he wasn't the spokesman like Homer was - who I think he only did it out of sheer necessity, but Hardy sort of revealed himself when he stated his retirement from the group, maybe knowing then that his mortality was coming. So yeah, it hit me hard, too.
	5:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Muricans don't say Sahn LOOey for St. Louis ferinstyance...but there are native Francophones in NorthNewEngland here. Kerouac was very much one just over in Lowell, Mass. ...
	👻 5:25pm chresti: want to see it-hope it comes to LA, welles film
	5:26pm northguineahills: Afro-centrism never sounded so good, take me to your home planet, Sun Ra!
	5:26pm fred: @NGH: The place I know in France is Montpellier (double l) anyway, so say it as you like. No-fun fact: that's the only place I went on vacation since I started working
	5:28pm geezerette: Sun Ra, :D
	5:28pm Dave in Vermont: funnily though, in Vermont they (we?) say sha-lah(t) for Charlotte, not Shar-lot
	5:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh yah. Don'chaknow.
	5:30pm Dave in Vermont: Jeezum crow.
	👻 5:30pm Rev. Turnip Druid: I once knew a harlot from Charlotte. no I didn't.
	5:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hell I'm from NH/Vt & lived here more than half my life - & the way they say SHO-wah for 'sure'... Well - I believed 'Charlotte' derives from harlot actually...
	5:31pm βrian: I have friends in Charlotte. I used to live in Monkton. Saint Albans is "Snallbens." Berlin is "Búrlin," Calais is "Callous." Heh.
	👻 5:31pm chresti: I've been to Montpellier, Fr, once
	5:32pm spodiodi: www.youtube.com...
	5:33pm spodiodi: I've always pronounced them all the Fraunch way.
	5:34pm tim from champaign: @dave in vermont - The Charlotte in Michigan is pronounced "shar-LOT"
	5:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...for that matter, my surname is Basso, but it's actually Bisaillon a few ancestors back to Canada - & I'm not even sure how to pronounce that...
	5:35pm Dr. Peter: Digging the show today - the only authentic radio show in the NYC area.
	5:35pm spodiodi: The Charlotte in NC is pronounced "Brunswick Stew"
	👻 5:35pm chresti: bee-sayone is my guess
	5:36pm spodiodi: in the USA area*
	5:36pm Rich in Washington: People in Oregon are driven nuts by people who pronounce it o-REE-gone.
	5:37pm Brendan: Failure to arrive on time. Hi
	5:37pm Rich in Washington: my personal pet peeve is WaRshington. Where the hell does that R come from?
	5:37pm βrian: So is it Or-Gon or Or-Gun?
	5:37pm Rich in Washington: O-ruh-gun.
	5:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I got an Oreegone Accumulator...
	5:38pm Dave in Vermont: Clay and Ken mentioned Charlebois MI this morning which ppl around here say charly boys
	5:38pm fred: A friend whose name is Charlotte is wrapping up her thesis. Send her good thoughts (and she got some airplay on this station, more to come when she's done)
	👻 5:38pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Lived for a very short time in Maine. The missus is from Michigan. Those two states have hilariously different ways of pronouncing PRESQUE ISLE. For the record, the Michigan preference makes no sense to me.
	5:38pm βrian: It's the law of conservation of the R. If you drop it somewhere, you must insert it elsewhere. The BBC does this all the time.
	5:39pm Dave in Vermont: the old intrusive R- makes up for the deleted R in other regions so US dialects all balance out
	5:39pm βrian: Not Charlevoix, @Dave in VT?
	👻 5:39pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Being a DC/MD lifer & overly influenced by the Baltimore-caucasian-redneck patois, I am not to be trusted in these matters. The MD speech does come out prominently after about sixty beers.
	5:40pm spodiodi: I remember when Taco Bell first came East, and they had pronunciations on their menu, including that for "TAH ko" (hue hue hue)
	5:40pm βrian: Presque Aisle?
	5:40pm Rich in Washington: Damn the BBC and their English received pronunciation! Keep your bloody Rs to yourself!
	5:40pm Michael 98145: (so, Presque Isle is almost an island ...?? )
	5:41pm Rich in Washington: I can just hear a midwest twang TAAco!
	👻 5:42pm Rev. Turnip Druid: those from MI would say "presk EEL" whereas ME folk would pronounce the ISLE as you'd expect. Meanwhile, that Residents set caused your clergyman to hammer this enormous coffee far too quickly. Life is becoming wonderful.
	5:43pm fred: @Rich: so that's what these people where throwing in the water, not tea, Rs (make senses too, adding tears to an ocean wouldn't make much of a difference)
	5:43pm βrian: "Eel" would be closer to the French. And English would have it as presk-ew.
	👻 5:43pm chresti: I have traces of Chicago in my speech from my parents-people ask me where I'm from
	5:45pm βrian: In any case, who in hell was Nelson Mandeller?
	👻 5:46pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ...and why was Saint Martin in the fields? I mean COME ON.
	5:46pm Brendan: What? Speak Engrish.
	5:46pm northguineahills: Don't worry Rich, the South keeps the balance w/ non-rhotic Rs (at least we used to, that part of the accent is fading fast).
	5:47pm βrian: @RTD: Wasn't he outstanding?
	5:47pm northguineahills: When on the southern tip of the Malay peninsula, I speak Singlish, lah!
	5:50pm fred: @βrian I hope Walker is soon pronounced "gone"
	5:50pm βrian: Amen to dat.
	👻 5:50pm Rev. Turnip Druid: very digging these audios.
	5:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: also
	5:53pm βrian: Thanks for the day-of-the-deadly tracks, Fabio.
	5:53pm tim from champaign: You're totally spot on RTD! Us Michiganders have a schizophrenic approach to French pronunciations. Macincac Island = Mac-uh-naw. Michilimacinac = Mish-e-la-mac-e-nack. Detroit = DEE-troit
	5:54pm geezerette: Wonderful show,thanks,Fabio!
	5:55pm Michael 98145: ... this is quite something
	👻 5:55pm chresti: yeah! Great!
	5:56pm northguineahills: Thanks Fabio!
	👻 5:56pm Rev. Turnip Druid: @tim: to be fair, whatever I know is from mrs.Druid who is Livonia (suburban Detroit), although she's dragged me up to the UP a few times where much strange meat was consumed... but yeh, the speech patterns (esp. up there) are fascinating.
	5:57pm Carmichael: My accent is all messed up. Rural Ireland with heavy California surfer. People think I'm from New Zealand.
	5:57pm Dave in Vermont: oh it's almost over already, yeah, thanks, Fabio
	5:57pm Michael 98145: hmm (sic) - irrappext.bandcamp.com...
	5:58pm Michael 98145: thanks again to Fabio
	5:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always say Deetroit w/ two e's when referencing regional Rawk - MC5s & such.
	5:59pm slugluv1313: oooooooooo Irr. App. (ext.) THANK-YOU FABIO!!!!!!
	5:59pm dale: how does one translate crotch batterie?
	6:00pm Michael 98145: ouch
	6:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx !
	6:24pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Fabio
	8:20am ultradamno: Thanks for the Fox tribute. I would have leaned more on Not Available/Fingerprince, but that's just me and there's so much to draw from what can you do? I love Carax's movies. Lovers On The Bridge is great, I esp. love Holy Motors and Mauvais Sang

Listener comments!
	👻 3:04pm Threemoons: I gotta say this song is one of my favorite WFMU set openers.
	3:05pm Jack: RIP Hardy Fox
	3:06pm The Oscar: Sad about Mr. Fox, but looking forward to today's set.
	3:07pm Cheri Pi: Greetings. Looking forward to the show today, RIP Hardy
	👻 3:07pm chresti: hello! Happy day of the dead!
	👻 3:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: Mr. Giant Man may be dead but will live on in our hearts eternally.
	3:10pm rum dog: I saw the residents in denver recently and it was cool
	3:11pm coelacanth∅: 3moons i like the song but i was just thinking how years ago (1991?) when i was talking about wfmu to a new friend he chose mr.giant man to mimic to demonstrate how bad wfmu was! i got my girlfriend into it and between the 2 of us i think he did come around to liking the station. (i don't know about the song)
	3:12pm Webhamster Henry: Hi Fabio! My old friend "Nik Fault" of Rhythm & Noise was tight with the Residents.
	3:12pm coelacanth∅: rest in peace Hardy Fox.
	3:13pm βrian: I liked the song well enough ... until I heard it for a second time, that is.
	3:13pm melinda: hi all!
	3:13pm βrian: (And yet I persist.)
	👻 3:13pm chresti: I have a friend who lived in SOMA part of San Francisco, where he would look up and see guys with eyeballs on their heads moving around
	3:13pm steveo: probably no one in the universe has heard mr. giant man as many times as Fabio has
	3:14pm melinda: @coel 3:11 that's hilarious
	3:15pm melinda: It's one of my favorite openers too, though I usually miss it.
	👻 3:15pm chresti: I like the "Hi Ho!..."
	3:16pm Michael 98145: some folks just need to rethink their attitude :)
	👻 3:18pm Rev. Turnip Druid: this is the big hello.
	3:18pm northguineahills: Didn't Hardy Fox say he didn't expect to outlive the year?
	3:20pm Fashion Tashjian: Howdy Fabio & fellow mighty failures. I don't think I checked in in years on this program due to the time zone difference. However, here I am. Bless ye. I also had a very interesting experience where I was introducing someone to WFMU in 2007 and Mr Giant Man was their first exposure. I told them to stick around, they waited for the next track and I'm confident they never returned))
	👻 3:20pm chresti: yes ngh-
	👻 3:23pm chresti: is there a telly savalas "Who loves ya baby" song?
	3:27pm Chris from DC: @chresti, yes! www.youtube.com...
	👻 3:29pm chresti: Thanks-I thought so
	👻 3:30pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Toad, that's one damn sight better than Pac Man Fever.
	👻 3:30pm Rev. Turnip Druid: As are these Hooligans.
	3:30pm Chris from DC: Who loves ya, Hooligans?
	3:32pm Stephen O: That was some pretty accurate mood setting music to bring us back to reality.
	👻 3:34pm Rev. Turnip Druid: SPEED KILLS.
	👻 3:34pm Rev. Turnip Druid: and thank gawd for that.
	3:35pm northguineahills: I don't do sugar, my coffee comes black and unadulterated (and I rarely drink it, espresso, more often).
	3:36pm wolfg: uhm
	3:37pm spodiodi: I avoid sugar and coffee. Tea is where it's at.
	3:37pm βrian: I don't believe coffee is coffee if it has sugar. Especially espresso.
	3:38pm MD: YOU GOTTA HAVE IT UN-CUT BABY!!!! DON'T STEP ON YOUR COFFEE!!!!
	3:38pm The Oscar: I take my coffee with a lot of sugar. I always get self-conscious when it's in packets-- I feel like Jeff Goldblum in The Fly.
	👻 3:38pm chresti: a touch of creme will do
	3:38pm wolfg: the failure of freeform, I guess
	3:38pm spodiodi: Coffee ice cream is nice.
	👻 3:38pm Rev. Turnip Druid: It's been black coffee without any CRAP in it, since day one. Makes the whole thing like a cleansing fire of acidic goodness. JESUS i need a coffee now. NOW NOW NOW.
	3:39pm βrian: @spodiodi: Yes, but that's another beast.
	3:39pm coelacanth∅: i have coffee 1-2 x/week (honey or creme but not usually both) but mostly tea for me
	3:39pm wolfg: it be better to stick to the point, if there ever was one
	3:39pm melinda: Espresso is better with something added, I like cream. That may be an abomination but I don't care. Black tea is definitely better with some sugar, I think it brings out some notes.
	3:39pm Chris from DC: Black coffee, thanks. I wouldn't turn down a coffee stout about now either.
	👻 3:40pm chresti: I heard that black coffee can cause psychosis
	3:40pm northguineahills: @spodiodi: I only drink coffee/ espresso at special places, or in a hurry at the airport. I stick to yerba mate in the morning, and tea in the afternoon (chinese green today).
	👻 3:40pm chresti: I chose to ignore it
	3:40pm βrian: ♪ ♫ "Nina, nina won't be just any na!"
	👻 3:40pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Just now an office-mate came back from somewhere with a huge coffee. The universe, it mocks me.
	3:41pm northguineahills: @the good Rev: unadulterated coffee since I started uni, I overdid it in grad school, and rarely touch it now.
	3:41pm coelacanth∅: saying coffee is not coffee if it's enhanced is like saying you don't like bread if you make sandwiches with it.
	3:42pm βrian: I ordered an espresso at some little nondescript cafe in Belot, WI. I was a little annoyed at how long it took — until I tasted. My god, the best espresso I'd had in decades!
	3:42pm melinda: @ngh airport layovers are when I treat myself to a Starbucks decaf espresso. Other times in life I avoid the business. @coel I agree.
	👻 3:42pm Rev. Turnip Druid: running out for an espresso sandwich now. I blame society.
	👻 3:43pm chresti: espresso gets better and better
	👻 3:44pm chresti: haha Rev
	3:46pm Chris from DC: Pro tip, if you have a real strong coffee don't follow it with chocolate covered espresso beans. Found that out the hard way.
	3:46pm coelacanth∅: i had a genmaicha tea the other day and she made it a little weak so i felt i needed something more. got an espresso, which is automatically 2 shots -that's how their machine works...and added 1/2&1/2. i'd have used heavy cream, given the choice; but mm mm mm!
	3:50pm northguineahills: Kings(queens) of England, curious name.
	3:51pm Tony: I think if you have to add sugar to an espresso, it means the espresso was not well made so it's too bitter.
	3:52pm wolfg: no espresso is with sugar mos of the times
	3:53pm Fabio: If you go to any cafe (aka Bar) in Italy, you will see a giant bowl of sugar at the counter. Almost everyone who orders an espresso in Italy takes sugar with it. It's just the way they like it.
	3:53pm melinda: Espresso is always going to be intense, whether it's bitter or "fruity" or whatever. Some like to balance the intensity with another ingredient.
	3:53pm wolfg: I like double espresso with lots of milk which mounts to latte macciato, and then no sugar
	3:54pm wolfg: just espresso without milk needs sugar though
	3:55pm wolfg: I m from austria, thats coffee nation
	3:55pm wolfg: espresso , no milk, no sugar is cruel
	3:56pm coelacanth∅: melinda -exactly.
	3:57pm wolfg: well I ll get some more coffee guess
	3:58pm wolfg: I dont want to work buhu aww
	3:58pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Two sugars and almond milk for this Wild Neil. Dairy free at least. NO POWDER! Aldi's light roast is good, so is Starbucks BLONDE coffee, not that Pike Peaks shit, that tastes like dirt.
	3:58pm wolfg: I want to sleep
	3:58pm northguineahills: I love the flavor of good espresso by itself. Even w/ shitty coffee I put nothing in it.
	3:59pm wolfg: I have lavazza press coffee ... milk no sugar
	4:00pm βrian: Mr Rogers: "Little espresso, I like you just the way you are!
	4:00pm wolfg: I like these huge milk bottles, we didnt have those in austria
	4:00pm βrian: Baby Animal would fit in with this set.
	4:01pm wolfg: they are really american
	4:01pm coelacanth∅: my mother always did and still does drink lots of coffee -nothing added. my father always added lots of milk and sugar. i guess i'm inbetween, slightly more like my mother
	4:02pm wolfg: yea
	4:03pm wolfg: coffee
	4:03pm wolfg: to smell ground coffee bean is good against cancer
	👻 4:04pm chresti: my mom used to put eggshells in the coffee grounds in the early sixties, not sure why
	4:04pm The Oscar: The one thing I am a snob about is the beans themselves. There's an amazing, ancient shop in Boston's North End with TONS of coffee beans by the pound, plus looseleaf tea and bulk spices. I never buy my coffee beans anywhere else.
	4:05pm zpulpa: coffee? coffee!!! im sleeeepy, two more hours before my nap. I started the day with some condensed milk in my coffee.... special treat.
	4:06pm ike: Some green teas are better w/a little sugar or honey. Others are better naked.
	4:07pm spodiodi: cheers, ngh. green tea here presently. generally have 3-4 diff kinds of tea per day... and drink it all day long. yerba mate is new to me, have to try some
	4:07pm Tony: @Fabio, when I traveled to Italy I followed the locals and put sugar in my espresso, but then I realized that it was not needed much of the time. I do love the Italian tradition of standing at the bar and drinking coffee. I wish that existed in the US.
	4:07pm βrian: In installed a big range hood in our kitchen, which has the advantage that it allows us to roast coffee there. Makes quite a bit of smoke.
	4:07pm Cmurtha: I rarely do coffee, but when I have expresso, or plain turkish cofee is great.
	4:08pm listener monica: i like my men like i like my coffee: dark, light, strong, and sweet.
	4:08pm βrian: Tengu: en.wikipedia.org...
	4:10pm βrian: Cream postcard: www.cardcow.com...
	4:10pm steveo: whoa! i didn't even know people in Pennsylvania had ears!
	4:11pm spodiodi: elkins park, nice
	4:12pm northguineahills: The only pennybont I know of is a village in Wales, so, good guess!
	👻 4:12pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Coffee has been secured. You may continue.
	👻 4:13pm Rev. Turnip Druid: or rather, what passes for coffee in this 'hood.
	4:14pm tim from champaign: I'm interested in hearing this upcoming Residents set. I'm very unfamiliar with their output. I trust Fabio's curation.
	4:14pm coelacanth∅: monica you're spying on me! ...i'm going to nj in a few days -maybe you have some time?
	4:15pm coelacanth∅: (sorry - you know i don't text)
	4:15pm Devin B.: Excited for this!
	4:16pm The Oscar: The Residents were such an important band for me in high school. I'm pretty sure I made every person I knew listen to Third Reich 'n' Roll, whether they wanted to or not.
	4:16pm northguineahills: I like my women like I like my coffee, black! Wait, my woman is more of a dark caramel. I guess I need to add a wee bit of milk to my coffee from now on!
	4:17pm melinda: This was my intro to The Residents, from a mix tape my sister made for me.
	4:20pm tomservo: I've been hooked on the residents for about 15 years now, finally saw them this last spring in Denver. Probably one of my favorite performances
	4:21pm βrian: Huh, I like my coffee hot, but I also like it cold, so what does that say? (Definitely not lukewarm, in any case.)
	4:21pm kudubundu: Gobsmacked to hear The Residents on a radio station. It's been too long, I must rescue my old vinyl albums from my attic!
	4:22pm Scott: The Residents are one strange bunch. I had an LP from about 1980 or so, I think it might have been the Residents' Commercial Album, where each song was exactly 1 minute. Also had the Eskimo album, can't remember the name, I really liked that.
	4:23pm Jack: They were so prolific (and varied), it was difficult to keep track of them. I recommend "The Theory of Obscurity -A Film About The Residents "
	4:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Never saturated myself in Residents...but listening to Church of SubGenius Hour of Slack all the time now & suchlike...seems a pretty familiar neighborhood...
	4:24pm Devin B.: A friend and I saw the video for "Simple Song" on public access TV sometime in the early 90s. Minds blown.
	4:25pm The Oscar: @Jack Seconded on the doc. It features extensive interviews with (probably) the original quartet, including Hardy.
	4:25pm Rich in Washington: The Residents had their radio debut on KBOO Community Radio in the mid 70s. I interviewed Homer Flynn a few years ago and he finally confirmed this long-running, at times thought apocryphal tale. It was on a show run by a gentleman named Bill Reinhardt, who did a wonderful program called Radio Lab (years before the similarly named podcast). He was a friend of the Residents in the early days and hung out with them and they sent him a tape especially prepared for airplay on KBOO.
	4:25pm northguineahills: @βrian: I drink my coffee until it's gone (when I have any). Sometimes it can take half a day, and it's definitely room temperature by then. (I never waste caffeine or booze).
	4:25pm Cmurtha: RIP Hardy. The Residents are so good. Whenever I hear stuff from The King and Eye/The Album where they cover Gershwin and Hank Williams I think of the cube-e performances which are so good. As for getting into them tim - imo there's not too many bad places to start with their catalogue. As for everyone else - their two albums that dropped this year are great if you've not given them a listen yet!
	4:25pm Uncle Michael: Gotta love a former member of the Kingston Trio getting roylaties from Residents records.
	4:26pm northguineahills: @Scott: I have that album. It took a while for me to warm up to it...
	4:26pm spodiodi: You can really hear The Residents' influence in Les Claypool's singing style.
	4:26pm Jack: You'd see them a lot on MTV in the early years; they were one of the few bands that did videos at that time.
	4:27pm Uncle Michael: The Eskimo album was called "Eskimo".
	4:27pm Webhamster Henry: Kaw-lija is one of my faves.
	4:27pm The Oscar: For a starting point, I usually either opt for Duck Stab/Buster & Glen (probably their best batch of "songs") or Third Reich & Roll (their funniest concept). Or The Commercial Album, which splits the difference.
	4:28pm Hmbn: Anyone remember Snakefinger? I loved him and saw him a few times...
	👻 4:28pm jmr3: Scott - I had those same two records, plus a 7" sampler from Ralph Records - Buy or Die!!! with great Gary Panter cover art, with Snakefinger, Fred Frith. I was a kid, I didn't want to die, so I sent them cash in the mail.
	4:29pm Michael 98145: of course, Snakefinger !! yes
	4:29pm Jack: One of my biggest regrets in life is that I never saw the Residents in concert.
	4:30pm Webhamster Henry: Freak Show was a CD-ROM with little animations on it.
	4:30pm Uncle Michael: I saw them once, on the first tour after the one eyeball was stolen.
	👻 4:30pm chresti: I like Renaldo and the loaf, too
	4:31pm Cmurtha: You can still change that jack!
	4:31pm uuee: Ol Hank is grooving in his grave!...Kawliga...Junior made him spin real fast in his grave, saw the drawing in an old LCD listener art page.
	4:31pm mrmikestandsir: yes Snakefinger was fabulous I saw him once also. he died way way too early. He really helped to define Ralph Records sound
	4:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's nifty Arrangement~Production - concepts, quirks & gimmicks aside...
	4:32pm Rich in Washington: Sending away for a Ralph Records catalog after seeing a tiny ad in Rolling Stone was a total life-changing moment for me. It fucked me up for normal music forever. The first Residents album I bought with my meager teenage allowance was Third Reich and Roll and the Satisfaction 7" single. I think I still have the catalogs - I was on their mailing list well into the early 90s.
	4:32pm melinda: I have no recollection of Residents videos on early MTV, far out.
	4:33pm Hmbn: Hey Fabs, would u play some Snakefinger or Residents that feature Snakefinger? How about "Here Comes the Bums" or "I love her to much to respect her..."?
	4:33pm The Oscar: I'm lucky enough to have seen them three times. It's easy to overlook among all the conceptual stuff, but Homer/"The Singing Resident" is a hell of a frontman, even today.
	👻 4:34pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Everything up to King & Eye, in my humble, is absolutely infallible.
	4:34pm Rich in Washington: I remember also getting two paper turntable slipmats stuff in the record mailer with that first order - one the classic eyeball image and the other the Eskimo cover shot (the four eyeballs in tuxes). I DO still have those and news of Mr. Fox's passing has inspired me to frame them and hang them up after almost 40 years.
	4:35pm Michael 98145: ... also was a big Tuxedomoon fan -
	4:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Like Matt Groening describes seeing Beefheart & the Magic Band the 1st time & having the limits redefined for him - I imagine the Residents have provided similar service in another era...
	4:36pm Rich in Washington: Homer was the conceptual brain of the Rez and Hardy the musical heart. It will be interesting how the eyeballs roll on without the latter.
	4:37pm Rich in Washington: but roll they will. Of that I have little doubt.
	👻 4:37pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Also the collab with Renaldo & the Loaf is the stuff of legend. The video they did for Swinging Larvae.... hooboy.
	4:37pm geezerette: This show hits the spot. :)
	4:38pm The Oscar: PLEASE EVERYBODY.
	4:38pm Michael 98145: what gz'ette just said
	4:38pm Michael 98145: loving this
	4:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (Before they mashed themselves up for the Cirque du Soleil Love thing...)
	4:39pm spodiodi: sweet set, Fabio
	4:39pm geezerette: me too!!! :D
	👻 4:39pm Rev. Turnip Druid: also, the NOT AVAILABLE album is a peak triumph of human achievement, utterly flawless.
	4:39pm dale: hello fabio and fabious people. i can tell by the sounds and the comments that a star has left the building. eskimo was my first taste of the residents.
	4:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...oh - yeah - was afraid of that...
	4:41pm northguineahills: @The Oscar, don't forget the U2 record. @Rich: so jealous!
	👻 4:41pm Rev. Turnip Druid: dale: same re: eskimo; permanent classic, still the favorite.
	4:42pm dale: this one sounds like amanda.
	4:43pm northguineahills: I love that recently the Residents ditched the Eyball/tux outfits for 14th c. Bubonic plague ('doctors') masks.
	4:44pm Uncle Michael: When Eskimo dropped, I thought it was really scary.
	👻 4:44pm Mick: Thank you for this set Fabio
	4:45pm The Oscar: Even after all these years, this album can't not make me smile.
	4:45pm geezerette: Therapeutic!
	4:46pm slugluv1313: yes! i have that "Buy or Die!" sampler too! i think i must have started sending for The Residents' singles in the mid-1970s? still living at home with the parents in "the sticks" (a/k/a central rural/suburban NJ) . . . saving up my lunch money & using it to buy records instead . . . :) although i have no recollection about how i first heard about them (possibly a photo of them in their newspaper outfits/blurb about then in one of the "rock" magazines???) years later, saw them with the "ex" during their Cube-E tour . . . TOTALLY amazing and mind-blowing and still one of the BEST shows i have seen EVER (and not just saying that b/c we were both doing a half-hit of acid) THANK YOU FABIO for this beautiful tribute . . . The Residents meant/mean so much to so many of this . . . .
	4:47pm geezerette: Imaging Muppets singing this.
	4:47pm dale: geezerette - or the peanuts kids dancing to it.
	4:48pm The Oscar: Technically, I first heard them in preschool-- they scored a few episodes of Pee-Wee's Playhouse :)
	4:48pm Jack: Yes, thanks Fabio!
	4:48pm slugluv1313: HELLO SKINNY film too! soooooo warped in a truly magical wonderful way
	4:48pm Asheville Jon: aw gees, tuned in to hear some residents to see that HF died. :(
	4:49pm geezerette: That was a much freer time. Miss the freedom.
	4:52pm Hmbn: Hey all, call me ignorant but was it ever established who exactly the Residents were/are?
	4:53pm Marshall Stacks: R.I.P.
	4:53pm slugluv1313: all those old Ralph Records remain great . . . and just recalling Gary Panter spray painting a beat-up old couch for us . . . TOTALLY transforming it into a thing of pure gorgeousness . . .
	4:54pm The Oscar: Fun fact: that horn blast is the first known instance of someone sampling James Brown on record.
	4:54pm tim from champaign: Ok, I'm definitely joining the Residents bandwagon after years on the sidelines. This is the introduction I needed.
	4:54pm geezerette: Art was exciting and passionate, all that crazy, experimental feeling.
	👻 4:54pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Their material was equally inspiring & frustrating: on the surface much of it sounded childish & simple, but was much more; no-one else could have pulled it off.
	4:54pm The Oscar: @Hmbn It's more or less accepted that the core were Homer Flynn and Hardy Fox, the latter of whom sadly passed away this week.
	4:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Love how it's all Deconstructionist & Sardonic @ the same time it's steeped in & references Pop all the time - in, I think, an actually loving way. As I think Hal Wilner said in Carl Stalling liner notes: The Music of our Subconscious... Oh - RTD just said something much better...
	4:55pm Hmbn: Huh, thank you The Oscar.
	4:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Warhol: 'I painted Campbell's cans cause I saw them every damn day'...
	4:56pm slugluv1313: @ geezerette -- you said it!!! people were NOT afraid to create and use their imaginations!
	4:57pm The Oscar: Have to split, but thank you for this set Fabio-- this has been wonderful.
	4:58pm geezerette: RevRab,Rev TD , both true and well said. :)
	👻 5:01pm Rev. Turnip Druid: YASSSSSSSSSSSKIMO!
	5:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Like they talk about the Bonzos not being dismissive of DooWop - & what have you - in quite the sharp way the Mothers were ...the expressions here are harder to read :) @ @ @ @ Y -Y -Y -Y
	5:05pm geezerette: slugluv,we have to protect our imaginations now. Feed them and exercise them and then share them. Solidarity!
	5:07pm mzz: i liked soak myself into the old Residents tracks...
	5:08pm geezerette: (YAY, Fabio!!!)
	👻 5:09pm Rev. Turnip Druid: played this stuff so much as a teenager I tend to neglect it now... which is a crime. That "Intermission" ep from the Mole era is a mighty classic as well.
	5:09pm Carmichael: Finally, I get to my computer.
	5:10pm P-90: A Residents fan since about 1976, and that’s a long time now when you think about it. But I’m still a little surprised at how personal the loss of Hardy Fox feels to me.
	5:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...whoever thot there would ever be any such Community in which we might discuss this as baseline normal...
	5:11pm geezerette: This is Reagan era DADA.
	5:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...&/or its' notable influences...
	5:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (on others)
	5:12pm Michael 98145: @RRN63, we could have never anticipated anything like this back in the 70s.
	5:16pm geezerette: This IS pretty nearly telepathy.
	5:16pm northguineahills: Ahhhhh, WFMU is only 3% away from their goal. Please make it happen before I leave work!
	5:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I remember feeling like it was AntiArt or something - or some sardonic joke I wasn't in on...but now - I think you hear it's effect all over SubGenius, DO or DIY...I'm on the lower tier of who's qualified to delineate this in present company...
	5:17pm Dave in Vermont: Montpelier; mont-PEEL-yur
	5:19pm fred: Thanks a lot for this set, Fabio. I didn't realize how good/important The Residents were before hearing it
	5:20pm Dave in Vermont: I just saw Montparnasse Bienvenue (at the VT Intl Film Fest) which at some points reminded me of Lovers on the Bridge as a look at folks on the edge struggling with homelessness and mental health.
	5:20pm northguineahills: @Dave: Unless it's Montpelier, France.
	👻 5:20pm Rev. Turnip Druid: what Dave in VT said. Us suburban Maryland folk would likewise have said mont-PEEL-yer, whether or not it's correct in any sense.
	5:21pm Dave in Vermont: both take place in Paris
	5:21pm Dave in Vermont: @NGH or Canada
	5:23pm geezerette: Is that the one with Jeanne Moreau?
	5:23pm northguineahills: @Dave:True!
	👻 5:23pm chresti: moan-PEL-li ay
	5:23pm geezerette: ...the Welles film.
	5:24pm Rich in Washington: P-90: I feel very much the same. I think it's that in the end, he so nakedly told us he was going, took the mask off, literally. I never got to interview him - he wasn't the spokesman like Homer was - who I think he only did it out of sheer necessity, but Hardy sort of revealed himself when he stated his retirement from the group, maybe knowing then that his mortality was coming. So yeah, it hit me hard, too.
	5:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Muricans don't say Sahn LOOey for St. Louis ferinstyance...but there are native Francophones in NorthNewEngland here. Kerouac was very much one just over in Lowell, Mass. ...
	👻 5:25pm chresti: want to see it-hope it comes to LA, welles film
	5:26pm northguineahills: Afro-centrism never sounded so good, take me to your home planet, Sun Ra!
	5:26pm fred: @NGH: The place I know in France is Montpellier (double l) anyway, so say it as you like. No-fun fact: that's the only place I went on vacation since I started working
	5:28pm geezerette: Sun Ra, :D
	5:28pm Dave in Vermont: funnily though, in Vermont they (we?) say sha-lah(t) for Charlotte, not Shar-lot
	5:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh yah. Don'chaknow.
	5:30pm Dave in Vermont: Jeezum crow.
	👻 5:30pm Rev. Turnip Druid: I once knew a harlot from Charlotte. no I didn't.
	5:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hell I'm from NH/Vt & lived here more than half my life - & the way they say SHO-wah for 'sure'... Well - I believed 'Charlotte' derives from harlot actually...
	5:31pm βrian: I have friends in Charlotte. I used to live in Monkton. Saint Albans is "Snallbens." Berlin is "Búrlin," Calais is "Callous." Heh.
	👻 5:31pm chresti: I've been to Montpellier, Fr, once
	5:32pm spodiodi: www.youtube.com...
	5:33pm spodiodi: I've always pronounced them all the Fraunch way.
	5:34pm tim from champaign: @dave in vermont - The Charlotte in Michigan is pronounced "shar-LOT"
	5:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...for that matter, my surname is Basso, but it's actually Bisaillon a few ancestors back to Canada - & I'm not even sure how to pronounce that...
	5:35pm Dr. Peter: Digging the show today - the only authentic radio show in the NYC area.
	5:35pm spodiodi: The Charlotte in NC is pronounced "Brunswick Stew"
	👻 5:35pm chresti: bee-sayone is my guess
	5:36pm spodiodi: in the USA area*
	5:36pm Rich in Washington: People in Oregon are driven nuts by people who pronounce it o-REE-gone.
	5:37pm Brendan: Failure to arrive on time. Hi
	5:37pm Rich in Washington: my personal pet peeve is WaRshington. Where the hell does that R come from?
	5:37pm βrian: So is it Or-Gon or Or-Gun?
	5:37pm Rich in Washington: O-ruh-gun.
	5:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I got an Oreegone Accumulator...
	5:38pm Dave in Vermont: Clay and Ken mentioned Charlebois MI this morning which ppl around here say charly boys
	5:38pm fred: A friend whose name is Charlotte is wrapping up her thesis. Send her good thoughts (and she got some airplay on this station, more to come when she's done)
	👻 5:38pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Lived for a very short time in Maine. The missus is from Michigan. Those two states have hilariously different ways of pronouncing PRESQUE ISLE. For the record, the Michigan preference makes no sense to me.
	5:38pm βrian: It's the law of conservation of the R. If you drop it somewhere, you must insert it elsewhere. The BBC does this all the time.
	5:39pm Dave in Vermont: the old intrusive R- makes up for the deleted R in other regions so US dialects all balance out
	5:39pm βrian: Not Charlevoix, @Dave in VT?
	👻 5:39pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Being a DC/MD lifer & overly influenced by the Baltimore-caucasian-redneck patois, I am not to be trusted in these matters. The MD speech does come out prominently after about sixty beers.
	5:40pm spodiodi: I remember when Taco Bell first came East, and they had pronunciations on their menu, including that for "TAH ko" (hue hue hue)
	5:40pm βrian: Presque Aisle?
	5:40pm Rich in Washington: Damn the BBC and their English received pronunciation! Keep your bloody Rs to yourself!
	5:40pm Michael 98145: (so, Presque Isle is almost an island ...?? )
	5:41pm Rich in Washington: I can just hear a midwest twang TAAco!
	👻 5:42pm Rev. Turnip Druid: those from MI would say "presk EEL" whereas ME folk would pronounce the ISLE as you'd expect. Meanwhile, that Residents set caused your clergyman to hammer this enormous coffee far too quickly. Life is becoming wonderful.
	5:43pm fred: @Rich: so that's what these people where throwing in the water, not tea, Rs (make senses too, adding tears to an ocean wouldn't make much of a difference)
	5:43pm βrian: "Eel" would be closer to the French. And English would have it as presk-ew.
	👻 5:43pm chresti: I have traces of Chicago in my speech from my parents-people ask me where I'm from
	5:45pm βrian: In any case, who in hell was Nelson Mandeller?
	👻 5:46pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ...and why was Saint Martin in the fields? I mean COME ON.
	5:46pm Brendan: What? Speak Engrish.
	5:46pm northguineahills: Don't worry Rich, the South keeps the balance w/ non-rhotic Rs (at least we used to, that part of the accent is fading fast).
	5:47pm βrian: @RTD: Wasn't he outstanding?
	5:47pm northguineahills: When on the southern tip of the Malay peninsula, I speak Singlish, lah!
	5:50pm fred: @βrian I hope Walker is soon pronounced "gone"
	5:50pm βrian: Amen to dat.
	👻 5:50pm Rev. Turnip Druid: very digging these audios.
	5:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: also
	5:53pm βrian: Thanks for the day-of-the-deadly tracks, Fabio.
	5:53pm tim from champaign: You're totally spot on RTD! Us Michiganders have a schizophrenic approach to French pronunciations. Macincac Island = Mac-uh-naw. Michilimacinac = Mish-e-la-mac-e-nack. Detroit = DEE-troit
	5:54pm geezerette: Wonderful show,thanks,Fabio!
	5:55pm Michael 98145: ... this is quite something
	👻 5:55pm chresti: yeah! Great!
	5:56pm northguineahills: Thanks Fabio!
	👻 5:56pm Rev. Turnip Druid: @tim: to be fair, whatever I know is from mrs.Druid who is Livonia (suburban Detroit), although she's dragged me up to the UP a few times where much strange meat was consumed... but yeh, the speech patterns (esp. up there) are fascinating.
	5:57pm Carmichael: My accent is all messed up. Rural Ireland with heavy California surfer. People think I'm from New Zealand.
	5:57pm Dave in Vermont: oh it's almost over already, yeah, thanks, Fabio
	5:57pm Michael 98145: hmm (sic) - irrappext.bandcamp.com...
	5:58pm Michael 98145: thanks again to Fabio
	5:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Always say Deetroit w/ two e's when referencing regional Rawk - MC5s & such.
	5:59pm slugluv1313: oooooooooo Irr. App. (ext.) THANK-YOU FABIO!!!!!!
	5:59pm dale: how does one translate crotch batterie?
	6:00pm Michael 98145: ouch
	6:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx !
	6:24pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Fabio
	8:20am ultradamno: Thanks for the Fox tribute. I would have leaned more on Not Available/Fingerprince, but that's just me and there's so much to draw from what can you do? I love Carax's movies. Lovers On The Bridge is great, I esp. love Holy Motors and Mauvais Sang
