	3:16pm Tome: [ agrees with the above wholeheartedly ]
	3:17pm rubyschmerling: greetings all,
	3:20pm Miss G: @brainiac, I've been singing that song too. I also love the version by Cristina, 1980
	👻 3:21pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Good to hear the Twink. The man is a global treasure.
	3:22pm common: gysin. of course!
	👻 3:22pm Rev. Turnip Druid: The new Twink LP is damned tasty as well.
	3:22pm brainiac: @Miss G: It's Trumps favorite! But he doesn't get it.
	3:25pm Miss G: @brainiac I thought you were KIDDING! Now I have a sick feeling. . .well, thanks for the info.
	3:28pm common: genesis
	👻 3:31pm KenW: Hey Brother! Better late than never,,,,,
	3:34pm Listener Howard & the Cats: I was at that Pyramid show!
	👻 3:35pm Rev. Turnip Druid: i was at that PTV gig at the pyramid. And it was... lovely.
	👻 3:35pm Rev. Turnip Druid: hah!
	3:36pm Johnny_A: Dictators covered it too
	3:38pm fabiofan: Hey all - Thanks for spreading the love Fabio! What a perfect exit for Genesis, relistening to this stuff is great
	3:40pm common: i'm so happy i got to meet her and didn't make her angry.
	3:42pm MAgus: Thanks Fabio for the Genesis, Long live TOPY 23
	3:45pm Handy Haversack: Hey, everyone. Back from the world. There are still apples.
	3:46pm MAgus: A few days after the Pyramid show they played at maxwells in HOBOken, only 40 people there.
	3:47pm fred: Hello Fabio and everyone
	👻 3:47pm chris: hey, Fabio and folks. Fabio, didn't you have Gen on a few times for interviews? 1999, 2004? common! how could you ever make someone angry?
	👻 3:50pm Rev. Turnip Druid: @MAgus: saw that one as well. ...was something of a TOPY tour slut in those days. caught DC, pyramid, maxwells, and I think there was one in Richmond VA as well...
	3:50pm brainiac: @Handy: Do me a favor and peel those bad boys before eating them, ok?
	👻 3:51pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Venue called Rockitz in Richmond, if memory serves. Jeezus, million years ago.
	3:51pm Carmichael: Hell, boil 'em!
	3:52pm brainiac: Ha, good idea, Carm
	3:52pm Guido from Cologne: Hard to believe that this is 40 years ago.
	3:52pm common: @chris Ha! easy!
	3:53pm Goyim in the AM: I watched Narwuar the Human Serviette's interview of Psychic TV last night -- Gen starts out utterly dismissive and annoyed by Nardwuar, but as s/he begins to realize that Nardwuar's bit is more committed-to performance than phoney spiel, s/he really warms to him. Very worth watching.
	3:53pm Goyim in the AM: (Using Gen's preferred pronoun there.)
	3:53pm Gee: love this
	3:55pm Handy Haversack: I was gonna bob for them, @Carmichael, braniac.
	3:56pm queems: the song hamburger lady gave me nightmares for a long time
	3:58pm rw: What A Day indeed.
	3:58pm karen eliot: this is making my day! it always made me just a little anxious going to a ptv show. mesmerizing and intense. rip genesis.
	3:59pm melinda: Orchids is beautiful.
	3:59pm John from Florham park: Howdy queems
	3:59pm bloumejune: Love this Psychic TV album!! a little creepy at times but this song is beautiful
	4:00pm karen eliot: so beautiful.
	4:00pm Andy M.: This Psychic TV, "The Orchids", is lovely.
	4:01pm Hi from Holland: Aloha!
	4:01pm Handy Haversack: That was great. A lot of this is new to me.
	4:02pm TDK60: Had to step out for about a half hour as I heard there was a new stock of toilet paper in the nearby supermarket. I scored but I wonder why it's so sought out. Does this mean most Americans are full of shit?
	👻 4:02pm Rev. Turnip Druid: I think Dreams Less Sweet is the one that came with the 12" of THEE FULL PACK, which was a heavy favorite. More wolf samples than one would think possible. & damned fine listening.
	👻 4:04pm chresti: Haha TDK60
	4:05pm Carmichael: It starts at the top, TDK.
	4:05pm Guido from Cologne: even 1969
	4:05pm John from Florham park: @TDK60 yup they are:)
	4:06pm John from Florham park: @Carmichael was thinking the same thing:)
	4:07pm The Oscar: Been busy working, but this is a great show. I'll never forget the time I saw Genesis try to calm the crowd at the Butthole Surfers reunion show after Gibby Haynes was ejected for throwing a beer bottle at the sound guy (s/he was on my subway afterwards-- I had no idea it was them until I read an article about it afterwards!). I'll have to fire up my Gristleism box later (which I got at Earwax, come to think of it!)
	4:07pm TDK60: I would've thought something like canned tuna or rice or potatoes/etc. would be more sought...
	4:08pm Cabbage: Greetings from the Land of The Nuclear Powerplant :-\|
	👻 4:09pm chris: i won a Gristleism box in a marathon one year. fun to play.
	4:10pm TDK60: ..or peanut butter.
	4:11pm mariano: @chris - Me too, one of the best FMU premiums ever! But now for some reason the volume on mine is very low, and it's not the battery, I even took it to a shop to get looked at. I got a Philip Glass version, but I miss my Gristleism.
	4:12pm queems: NO
	👻 4:12pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Come to think of it, I won a (non-gristle) buddha-box during a previous marathon & it never turned up.... got two of 'em already so it's no loss, had forgotten all about that..
	4:12pm queems: NONONO
	4:13pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): queems: ?
	4:14pm queems: i've never run to turn off the radio so fast in me life. except the radio is still on in my basement and i can hear it through the floor but i am too scared to go down and turn it off
	👻 4:14pm chris: i'd forgotten it was a premium, mariano. Scott W's show? will need to go get mine to see if its still Gristlizing
	4:15pm The Oscar: Is it weird that I find this song oddly relaxing? (Slug Bait, on the other hand...)
	4:15pm mr_donutsu: Cognitive dissonance!!!
	4:15pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): queems: oh no!
	👻 4:16pm Rev. Turnip Druid: I know someone who's friend played HAMBURGER LADY to someone who WAS a hospitalized burn patient, to get their informed review... He said the slow oscillation sound was hauntingly similar to the sound of the respirator from the patient's point of view. How's that for eerie, eh?
	4:16pm queems: i haven't heard hamburger lady in almost 10 years but it still provokes panic in the depths of my being
	4:17pm common: so beautifully creepy
	4:17pm John from Florham park: @Granny are you all right now?
	4:17pm nic: love this !!! i love a lot of what he did_i saw a short video of an early performance on Instagram_he was really great!!!
	4:17pm Mister Dobalina: Sorry Queems but that experience of yours made me chuckle. Now I feel bad.
	4:19pm queems: @mister dobalina LOLOL don't feel bad. it's a ridiculous story
	4:21pm mariano: @queems - We're complicated creatures. Some things just get to us for very complex, hard-to-explain reasons. I have a few of those myself.
	4:21pm The Oscar: A little ashamed to admit I've never delved too deeply into the PTV stuff, but this is fantastic.
	4:22pm karen eliot: cathartic sound making is in my to do list.
	4:23pm Miss G: @queems, yikes I'm with you now, this one "Themes" is getting to me. I'm going to sing "Mr Bob Dobalina" to myself, thank you for the inspiration Mr. Dobalina (my guy used to say to me in warning re: this kind of thing, 'Now honey, this is not 'Heidi. . .'")
	4:23pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): hey, JfFp: i'm doing ok, thanks.
	4:24pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): and, ha ha! i gotta admit, these sounds don't really soothe my frazzled spirit, no matter how much i admire the creations of Genesis
	4:24pm MAgus: we were the road crew on the bus. Altered state ov Amerika tour. great time. I was with gene not too long after he got out ov hospital-we miss her vry much!!!
	4:25pm ParUbi: such a great show today
	👻 4:25pm Rev. Turnip Druid: THE BUS!
	4:26pm queems: @mariano i definitely agree! @miss g i may or may not have listened to an instagram video on repeat to drown it out from the basement
	👻 4:26pm Rev. Turnip Druid: There were two US tours back then, I may be mixing them in the brain. Magical Mystery de-Tour was the other?
	4:27pm John from Florham park: @Granny ok cool
	4:27pm MAgus: that was the first tour
	4:27pm Jim the Poet: Hey Fabio great show today
	4:28pm MAgus: they played at "the world" also
	4:29pm Handy Haversack: I just got a little cleaning done, and now I'm gonna start cooking and possibly not emerge often for a couple of hours -- so let me thank you, Fabio. Really enjoying the show. Material I have heard some of but wish I knew better. A good friend of mine who moved away to Davis, CA, is listening too -- I knew he would be! Thanks, Fabio!
	4:29pm blackbodegabag: this is exactly what I need right now
	👻 4:30pm Rev. Turnip Druid: I'll say that "candy says" was an earworm for a hell of a long time.
	4:30pm Woo: Yes, I was just thinking this is exactly what I need too. I've been listening to FMU since 5 AM but I did take a nap.
	4:33pm lanceromance02: This sounds like music for our times
	👻 4:34pm KenW: A tremendous show today, thank you, I really needed this!!!
	4:35pm John from Florham park: &Handy have a great day
	4:36pm Fabio: @KenW: Thanks brother! Hope you're good. check inn later...
	4:39pm Miss G: That indeed was an amazing version of "Unclean," thanks!
	4:42pm Miss G: I used to get those record dealer "auction" newsletters when I lived in a rural area in the 70s, that's how I began my record collection! But I never did international!
	4:42pm John from Florham park: @Miss O I was jamming to it
	4:43pm Rich in Washington: I just saw a clip from some goofy reality TV show where Gen was selling that Tibetan thigh bone trumpet to some curio shop.
	👻 4:46pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Speaking of Gen & technology: I've had this mid-80s PTV CD forever (sordide sentimental label) called LISTEN TODAY... which supposedly has video material as well. Never was able to get to that .. says "must be played on a CD video player, soon available)... anyone ever crack that open successfully?
	4:47pm Rich in Washington: I used to have a few of those weird 'electric newspaper' releases. They were really peculiar.
	4:48pm Miss G: Rich in Washington was it "Oddities" in the East Village by any chance? I love them!
	👻 4:48pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Themes 2: favorite PTV record. This track: favorite PTV track. Thank you.
	4:48pm Miss G: Obscura, sorry, they moved from 7th street to Avenue A
	4:49pm Miss G: "Google is my friend" here is the YT clip (will watch when show is over) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XosnPckF-kc
	4:50pm John from Florham park: Sorry I meant miss g I apologize
	4:50pm Carmichael: Wow, I am so buried in emergency procurement. Answering about 30 emails per hour, between phone calls. But I'm the only one the office, which means VERY LOUD FABIO.
	4:51pm common: bless you, carmichael
	4:52pm Miss G: @John Florham Park no worries, I assume you mixed me up with Karen O, a compliment!
	👻 4:52pm chris: yep, thanks, Carm. procure like the wind!
	4:52pm Carmichael: Bless me with beersies , common ... :)
	4:53pm mariano: Finding some interesting GPO/TG/PTV stuff on YouTube: www.youtube.com... www.youtube.com... www.youtube.com...
	4:55pm John from Florham park: @Miss G thanks and that song by psychic tv was great
	4:57pm nic: love this!!!
	4:58pm common: she really covered all the bases of sounds.
	👻 5:01pm KenW: LOVING THIS!!!!
	5:01pm Quarantine In Maine: This is luminous, Fabio! Thanks!
	👻 5:01pm Rev. Turnip Druid: it holds up. still a perfect piece.
	5:02pm steveo: yes
	5:02pm mariano: Yeah, hits all my sweet spots and then some.
	👻 5:03pm Rev. Turnip Druid: I'm guessing the titles came with the CD reissues (?) LP never had names for these, me not think..
	5:08pm bore: thank you Fabio, your voice and music are so soothing, you are a rock.
	5:11pm Fabio: @ Rev. Turnip Druid: Yes, titles on the CD
	👻 5:11pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Another favorite was PTV+White Stains: at Stockholm -- but I think that was one long piece .. not so radio friendly perhaps .. all good reminders to dig up these for a spin later.
	5:13pm John from Florham park: @Fabio thanks for a really fabulous show
	5:14pm Patrick: My kids (4 & 6) are totally into this show, not sure what to think about that
	5:15pm Carmichael: @Patrick, show them how to do the peace dance to the comet Kahoutek.
	5:16pm brainiac: Just found out why you're so busy Carmichael; shelter in place for our county order goes in effect at midnight, right?
	5:16pm dale: good show fabio.
	5:16pm John from Florham park: @Patrick better then the commercial rock radio that we used to listen too
	5:17pm Carmichael: @brainiac, it's been in effect already, but now it's an executive order. Which means you can be cited and/or arrested now for violating.
	👻 5:17pm KenW: WOW WOW WOW again!
	5:18pm brainiac: Bright side: They have toilet paper in jail
	5:18pm Carmichael: And a smiling cellie.
	5:19pm Andrew Waterloo: Got my work done, a clean kitchen, a class of scotch, and PTV on the radio. Also not in need of a nap. Life is good.
	5:19pm mariano: Hey Fabio, do you know if the Jarman videos that go with Themes are available? Not having much luck with Google.
	5:21pm Rich in Washington: Maybe try UBU Web, mariano? You have to go there directly and search. They've deliberately excluded themselves from external search engine searches in order to preserve the collection from copyright vultures.
	5:22pm mariano: Ooh, thanks @Rich!
	5:22pm Fredericks: Where's the naked Ken?
	5:23pm Rich in Washington: Never mind. I just looked. "Derek Jarman (1942-1994) These films have been removed by request of the copyright holder."
	5:24pm mariano: Damn, @Rich - removed at request of copyright holder :( Hey, damn right, @Fredericks! I ponied up, I want my naked Ken!
	5:24pm mariano: Let's all meet outside FMU with torches and pitchforks chanting "NA-KED KEN! NA-KED KEN!"
	5:26pm TDK60: Had to step away again. Definitely going to come back later to do my homework on Genesis P. stuff.
	5:29pm Handy Haversack: Hey hey! The sauce is on simmer, and this has been a fantastic show to chop to! Wine in glass, dog in chair, FMU in ears. Good stuff. Thanks, Fabio!
	👻 5:31pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Always respected how TG could turn a simple square-wave tremolo into a creepy dark nightmare thing.
	👻 5:31pm KenW: YES, absolutely brilliant!!
	5:32pm Miss G: L making dinner to Throbbing Gristle. ! A friend and I drove from NYC to Phoenix once with a mix-tape that included tracks from 20 Jazz Funk Greats, that was great.
	5:34pm Handy Haversack: @mariano, nothing says "naked Ken" like $70,508!
	5:37pm allanToronto: definitely going back to the archive to listen to all of this again, later...makes for thee radio almighty.thx
	5:39pm Miss G: YAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY our cross country driving music! snap snap Hot on the Heels of Love!
	5:39pm mariano: @Handy: Haha! He should make us put the remaining balance in his g-string at a special event at Monty Hall.
	5:40pm mariano: ...with Heels of Love as the soundtrack :P
	5:40pm upstairs dave: Love that you're doing this for our Genesis, so would he I'm sure....
	👻 5:41pm Threemoons: Hey peeps, very long time no see!
	5:42pm karen eliot: what year did they flee the uk? all their tapes/videos confiscated. it was a tough time for the family. does anyone know if they were ever recovered.?
	5:42pm Handy Haversack: @mariano (5:39): That would definitely signal that social distancing is over! I hope and assume that Ken would periodically turn his head and shout "THROBBING GRISTLE!" as the cash went in!
	👻 5:42pm Threemoons: Just found out that a long-pursued full time job is starting on time for me on Monday...with full work from home! So glad I pledged to WFMU to help me through the next few months of complete isolation...
	👻 5:43pm Threemoons: And I love this playlist. Rest in Power Genesis!
	👻 5:43pm Ken From Hyde Park: Social-distance handshake, Threemoons!
	5:43pm brainiac: Congrats on the new gig, Threemoons!
	5:47pm gen ken: I first heard TG at Cafe Flore in San Francisco in 1977- and Search & Destroy magazine published an amazing interview with Gen that riveted my attention for life. She/he is a huge influence - thanks for this show - so much great sonic work and pioneering ideas over an beyond this world. Bravo!
	5:48pm Adam West Coaster: This is an excellent example of why free-form non-commercial radio is vital, and worth going all in for.
	5:48pm ultradamno: Well GPO tribute I'll have to catch up with on the archives later RIP
	5:48pm nic: you introduced me to Throbbing Gristle_you show here in the very beginning_instant love
	5:49pm Miss G: Thanks for a great show in honor of GenP, Fabio, will share around.
	👻 5:50pm Threemoons: THanks, Ken, Brainiac! Fingers crossed. It's actually related to the medical field, and it's all hands on deck.
	5:50pm dale: this sounds like people in a retirement home waiting to die.
	👻 5:51pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Walls are thin between these apartments. I'm sure my neighbors are loving the fact that I'm teleworking these days...
	👻 5:51pm KenW: A bazillion thank youZ for this show Brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	5:51pm rf: just caught the last bit of this show but very great. Thank you.
	5:53pm ultradamno: Martin Denny would be proud.
	5:54pm Handy Haversack: So good! Fabio, thanks for being there and doing that. This was a fantastic tribute and a great show. Much appreciation.
	5:55pm Miss G: We are UNITED!
	5:56pm brainiac: I am UNTIED (and dyslexic)
	👻 5:56pm chresti: Thanks Fabio!
	5:57pm steveo: thanks Fabio; the breadth of Genesis's work is just astounding
	5:57pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, Fabio! Nice tribute!
	5:58pm radioronan: Lovely tribute to Gen. Thanks, Fabio
	5:59pm blee: Right on, Fabio. Very powerful show today and a lovely tribute. Thank you.
	5:59pm mariano: Thank you so much Fabio, exactly the tribute s/he deserves!
	5:59pm Rob W: Great one to end on Fabio. This show brought back a lot of memories. Well done.
	👻 6:00pm KenW: THANK YOU THANK YOU Fabio for today's show!!
	👻 6:01pm chris: ridiculous excellence today, Fabio. thank you!
	6:01pm nic: UNITED_LOVE !!!
	6:01pm dale: thanks fabs.
	11:50am bit rot: That was a thoughtful and touching tribute, Fabio. Thank you for doing it. I've been in Throbbing Gristle and Psychic TV mode all week so this fit right in. I expect it to continue for a while too...

	3:09pm TDK60: Hello Fabio. The Rollings took us really far out; can we ever get back?
	3:09pm brainiac: someone owes me an apology
	3:10pm mariano: Right, @VP, give me your coordinates and I'll send my drone.
	👻 3:11pm chresti: Sorry brainiac.
	3:11pm Tome: I'm hysterical !<>
	3:11pm ParUbi: Hey everyone

	3:12pm common: Fabio, all! good to be here!
	3:12pm steveo: Hello-o-o-o Fabio-o-o-o
	3:13pm brainiac: Apology accepted chresti. Let's let bygones be bygones
	3:14pm yondernod: Greetings Fabio and Fabioids
	3:15pm Crudbringer: Corporal Crud, reporting for failure sir.
	3:15pm duke: Strength Through Fabio
	3:15pm brainiac: Let's break out the booze and have a ball
	3:16pm steveo: that's not all there is!
	3:16pm Tome: [ agrees with the above wholeheartedly ]
	3:17pm rubyschmerling: greetings all,
	3:20pm Miss G: @brainiac, I've been singing that song too. I also love the version by Cristina, 1980
	👻 3:21pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Good to hear the Twink. The man is a global treasure.
	3:22pm common: gysin. of course!
	👻 3:22pm Rev. Turnip Druid: The new Twink LP is damned tasty as well.
	3:22pm brainiac: @Miss G: It's Trumps favorite! But he doesn't get it.
	3:25pm Miss G: @brainiac I thought you were KIDDING! Now I have a sick feeling. . .well, thanks for the info.
	3:28pm common: genesis
	👻 3:31pm KenW: Hey Brother! Better late than never,,,,,
	3:34pm Listener Howard & the Cats: I was at that Pyramid show!
	👻 3:35pm Rev. Turnip Druid: i was at that PTV gig at the pyramid. And it was... lovely.
	👻 3:35pm Rev. Turnip Druid: hah!
	3:36pm Johnny_A: Dictators covered it too
	3:38pm fabiofan: Hey all - Thanks for spreading the love Fabio! What a perfect exit for Genesis, relistening to this stuff is great
	3:40pm common: i'm so happy i got to meet her and didn't make her angry.
	3:42pm MAgus: Thanks Fabio for the Genesis, Long live TOPY 23
	3:45pm Handy Haversack: Hey, everyone. Back from the world. There are still apples.
	3:46pm MAgus: A few days after the Pyramid show they played at maxwells in HOBOken, only 40 people there.
	3:47pm fred: Hello Fabio and everyone
	👻 3:47pm chris: hey, Fabio and folks. Fabio, didn't you have Gen on a few times for interviews? 1999, 2004? common! how could you ever make someone angry?
	👻 3:50pm Rev. Turnip Druid: @MAgus: saw that one as well. ...was something of a TOPY tour slut in those days. caught DC, pyramid, maxwells, and I think there was one in Richmond VA as well...
	3:50pm brainiac: @Handy: Do me a favor and peel those bad boys before eating them, ok?
	👻 3:51pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Venue called Rockitz in Richmond, if memory serves. Jeezus, million years ago.
	3:51pm Carmichael: Hell, boil 'em!
	3:52pm brainiac: Ha, good idea, Carm
	3:52pm Guido from Cologne: Hard to believe that this is 40 years ago.
	3:52pm common: @chris Ha! easy!
	3:53pm Goyim in the AM: I watched Narwuar the Human Serviette's interview of Psychic TV last night -- Gen starts out utterly dismissive and annoyed by Nardwuar, but as s/he begins to realize that Nardwuar's bit is more committed-to performance than phoney spiel, s/he really warms to him. Very worth watching.
	3:53pm Goyim in the AM: (Using Gen's preferred pronoun there.)
	3:53pm Gee: love this
	3:55pm Handy Haversack: I was gonna bob for them, @Carmichael, braniac.
	3:56pm queems: the song hamburger lady gave me nightmares for a long time
	3:58pm rw: What A Day indeed.
	3:58pm karen eliot: this is making my day! it always made me just a little anxious going to a ptv show. mesmerizing and intense. rip genesis.
	3:59pm melinda: Orchids is beautiful.
	3:59pm John from Florham park: Howdy queems
	3:59pm bloumejune: Love this Psychic TV album!! a little creepy at times but this song is beautiful
	4:00pm karen eliot: so beautiful.
	4:00pm Andy M.: This Psychic TV, "The Orchids", is lovely.
	4:01pm Hi from Holland: Aloha!
	4:01pm Handy Haversack: That was great. A lot of this is new to me.
	4:02pm TDK60: Had to step out for about a half hour as I heard there was a new stock of toilet paper in the nearby supermarket. I scored but I wonder why it's so sought out. Does this mean most Americans are full of shit?
	👻 4:02pm Rev. Turnip Druid: I think Dreams Less Sweet is the one that came with the 12" of THEE FULL PACK, which was a heavy favorite. More wolf samples than one would think possible. & damned fine listening.
	👻 4:04pm chresti: Haha TDK60
	4:05pm Carmichael: It starts at the top, TDK.
	4:05pm Guido from Cologne: even 1969
	4:05pm John from Florham park: @TDK60 yup they are:)
	4:06pm John from Florham park: @Carmichael was thinking the same thing:)
	4:07pm The Oscar: Been busy working, but this is a great show. I'll never forget the time I saw Genesis try to calm the crowd at the Butthole Surfers reunion show after Gibby Haynes was ejected for throwing a beer bottle at the sound guy (s/he was on my subway afterwards-- I had no idea it was them until I read an article about it afterwards!). I'll have to fire up my Gristleism box later (which I got at Earwax, come to think of it!)
	4:07pm TDK60: I would've thought something like canned tuna or rice or potatoes/etc. would be more sought...
	4:08pm Cabbage: Greetings from the Land of The Nuclear Powerplant :-\|
	👻 4:09pm chris: i won a Gristleism box in a marathon one year. fun to play.
	4:10pm TDK60: ..or peanut butter.
	4:11pm mariano: @chris - Me too, one of the best FMU premiums ever! But now for some reason the volume on mine is very low, and it's not the battery, I even took it to a shop to get looked at. I got a Philip Glass version, but I miss my Gristleism.
	4:12pm queems: NO
	👻 4:12pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Come to think of it, I won a (non-gristle) buddha-box during a previous marathon & it never turned up.... got two of 'em already so it's no loss, had forgotten all about that..
	4:12pm queems: NONONO
	4:13pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): queems: ?
	4:14pm queems: i've never run to turn off the radio so fast in me life. except the radio is still on in my basement and i can hear it through the floor but i am too scared to go down and turn it off
	👻 4:14pm chris: i'd forgotten it was a premium, mariano. Scott W's show? will need to go get mine to see if its still Gristlizing
	4:15pm The Oscar: Is it weird that I find this song oddly relaxing? (Slug Bait, on the other hand...)
	4:15pm mr_donutsu: Cognitive dissonance!!!
	4:15pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): queems: oh no!
	👻 4:16pm Rev. Turnip Druid: I know someone who's friend played HAMBURGER LADY to someone who WAS a hospitalized burn patient, to get their informed review... He said the slow oscillation sound was hauntingly similar to the sound of the respirator from the patient's point of view. How's that for eerie, eh?
	4:16pm queems: i haven't heard hamburger lady in almost 10 years but it still provokes panic in the depths of my being
	4:17pm common: so beautifully creepy
	4:17pm John from Florham park: @Granny are you all right now?
	4:17pm nic: love this !!! i love a lot of what he did_i saw a short video of an early performance on Instagram_he was really great!!!
	4:17pm Mister Dobalina: Sorry Queems but that experience of yours made me chuckle. Now I feel bad.
	4:19pm queems: @mister dobalina LOLOL don't feel bad. it's a ridiculous story
	4:21pm mariano: @queems - We're complicated creatures. Some things just get to us for very complex, hard-to-explain reasons. I have a few of those myself.
	4:21pm The Oscar: A little ashamed to admit I've never delved too deeply into the PTV stuff, but this is fantastic.
	4:22pm karen eliot: cathartic sound making is in my to do list.
	4:23pm Miss G: @queems, yikes I'm with you now, this one "Themes" is getting to me. I'm going to sing "Mr Bob Dobalina" to myself, thank you for the inspiration Mr. Dobalina (my guy used to say to me in warning re: this kind of thing, 'Now honey, this is not 'Heidi. . .'")
	4:23pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): hey, JfFp: i'm doing ok, thanks.
	4:24pm Granny Spicy Tuna (e/em): and, ha ha! i gotta admit, these sounds don't really soothe my frazzled spirit, no matter how much i admire the creations of Genesis
	4:24pm MAgus: we were the road crew on the bus. Altered state ov Amerika tour. great time. I was with gene not too long after he got out ov hospital-we miss her vry much!!!
	4:25pm ParUbi: such a great show today
	👻 4:25pm Rev. Turnip Druid: THE BUS!
	4:26pm queems: @mariano i definitely agree! @miss g i may or may not have listened to an instagram video on repeat to drown it out from the basement
	👻 4:26pm Rev. Turnip Druid: There were two US tours back then, I may be mixing them in the brain. Magical Mystery de-Tour was the other?
	4:27pm John from Florham park: @Granny ok cool
	4:27pm MAgus: that was the first tour
	4:27pm Jim the Poet: Hey Fabio great show today
	4:28pm MAgus: they played at "the world" also
	4:29pm Handy Haversack: I just got a little cleaning done, and now I'm gonna start cooking and possibly not emerge often for a couple of hours -- so let me thank you, Fabio. Really enjoying the show. Material I have heard some of but wish I knew better. A good friend of mine who moved away to Davis, CA, is listening too -- I knew he would be! Thanks, Fabio!
	4:29pm blackbodegabag: this is exactly what I need right now
	👻 4:30pm Rev. Turnip Druid: I'll say that "candy says" was an earworm for a hell of a long time.
	4:30pm Woo: Yes, I was just thinking this is exactly what I need too. I've been listening to FMU since 5 AM but I did take a nap.
	4:33pm lanceromance02: This sounds like music for our times
	👻 4:34pm KenW: A tremendous show today, thank you, I really needed this!!!
	4:35pm John from Florham park: &Handy have a great day
	4:36pm Fabio: @KenW: Thanks brother! Hope you're good. check inn later...
	4:39pm Miss G: That indeed was an amazing version of "Unclean," thanks!
	4:42pm Miss G: I used to get those record dealer "auction" newsletters when I lived in a rural area in the 70s, that's how I began my record collection! But I never did international!
	4:42pm John from Florham park: @Miss O I was jamming to it
	4:43pm Rich in Washington: I just saw a clip from some goofy reality TV show where Gen was selling that Tibetan thigh bone trumpet to some curio shop.
	👻 4:46pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Speaking of Gen & technology: I've had this mid-80s PTV CD forever (sordide sentimental label) called LISTEN TODAY... which supposedly has video material as well. Never was able to get to that .. says "must be played on a CD video player, soon available)... anyone ever crack that open successfully?
	4:47pm Rich in Washington: I used to have a few of those weird 'electric newspaper' releases. They were really peculiar.
	4:48pm Miss G: Rich in Washington was it "Oddities" in the East Village by any chance? I love them!
	👻 4:48pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Themes 2: favorite PTV record. This track: favorite PTV track. Thank you.
	4:48pm Miss G: Obscura, sorry, they moved from 7th street to Avenue A
	4:49pm Miss G: "Google is my friend" here is the YT clip (will watch when show is over) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XosnPckF-kc
	4:50pm John from Florham park: Sorry I meant miss g I apologize
	4:50pm Carmichael: Wow, I am so buried in emergency procurement. Answering about 30 emails per hour, between phone calls. But I'm the only one the office, which means VERY LOUD FABIO.
	4:51pm common: bless you, carmichael
	4:52pm Miss G: @John Florham Park no worries, I assume you mixed me up with Karen O, a compliment!
	👻 4:52pm chris: yep, thanks, Carm. procure like the wind!
	4:52pm Carmichael: Bless me with beersies , common ... :)
	4:53pm mariano: Finding some interesting GPO/TG/PTV stuff on YouTube: www.youtube.com... www.youtube.com... www.youtube.com...
	4:55pm John from Florham park: @Miss G thanks and that song by psychic tv was great
	4:57pm nic: love this!!!
	4:58pm common: she really covered all the bases of sounds.
	👻 5:01pm KenW: LOVING THIS!!!!
	5:01pm Quarantine In Maine: This is luminous, Fabio! Thanks!
	👻 5:01pm Rev. Turnip Druid: it holds up. still a perfect piece.
	5:02pm steveo: yes
	5:02pm mariano: Yeah, hits all my sweet spots and then some.
	👻 5:03pm Rev. Turnip Druid: I'm guessing the titles came with the CD reissues (?) LP never had names for these, me not think..
	5:08pm bore: thank you Fabio, your voice and music are so soothing, you are a rock.
	5:11pm Fabio: @ Rev. Turnip Druid: Yes, titles on the CD
	👻 5:11pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Another favorite was PTV+White Stains: at Stockholm -- but I think that was one long piece .. not so radio friendly perhaps .. all good reminders to dig up these for a spin later.
	5:13pm John from Florham park: @Fabio thanks for a really fabulous show
	5:14pm Patrick: My kids (4 & 6) are totally into this show, not sure what to think about that
	5:15pm Carmichael: @Patrick, show them how to do the peace dance to the comet Kahoutek.
	5:16pm brainiac: Just found out why you're so busy Carmichael; shelter in place for our county order goes in effect at midnight, right?
	5:16pm dale: good show fabio.
	5:16pm John from Florham park: @Patrick better then the commercial rock radio that we used to listen too
	5:17pm Carmichael: @brainiac, it's been in effect already, but now it's an executive order. Which means you can be cited and/or arrested now for violating.
	👻 5:17pm KenW: WOW WOW WOW again!
	5:18pm brainiac: Bright side: They have toilet paper in jail
	5:18pm Carmichael: And a smiling cellie.
	5:19pm Andrew Waterloo: Got my work done, a clean kitchen, a class of scotch, and PTV on the radio. Also not in need of a nap. Life is good.
	5:19pm mariano: Hey Fabio, do you know if the Jarman videos that go with Themes are available? Not having much luck with Google.
	5:21pm Rich in Washington: Maybe try UBU Web, mariano? You have to go there directly and search. They've deliberately excluded themselves from external search engine searches in order to preserve the collection from copyright vultures.
	5:22pm mariano: Ooh, thanks @Rich!
	5:22pm Fredericks: Where's the naked Ken?
	5:23pm Rich in Washington: Never mind. I just looked. "Derek Jarman (1942-1994) These films have been removed by request of the copyright holder."
	5:24pm mariano: Damn, @Rich - removed at request of copyright holder :( Hey, damn right, @Fredericks! I ponied up, I want my naked Ken!
	5:24pm mariano: Let's all meet outside FMU with torches and pitchforks chanting "NA-KED KEN! NA-KED KEN!"
	5:26pm TDK60: Had to step away again. Definitely going to come back later to do my homework on Genesis P. stuff.
	5:29pm Handy Haversack: Hey hey! The sauce is on simmer, and this has been a fantastic show to chop to! Wine in glass, dog in chair, FMU in ears. Good stuff. Thanks, Fabio!
	👻 5:31pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Always respected how TG could turn a simple square-wave tremolo into a creepy dark nightmare thing.
	👻 5:31pm KenW: YES, absolutely brilliant!!
	5:32pm Miss G: L making dinner to Throbbing Gristle. ! A friend and I drove from NYC to Phoenix once with a mix-tape that included tracks from 20 Jazz Funk Greats, that was great.
	5:34pm Handy Haversack: @mariano, nothing says "naked Ken" like $70,508!
	5:37pm allanToronto: definitely going back to the archive to listen to all of this again, later...makes for thee radio almighty.thx
	5:39pm Miss G: YAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY our cross country driving music! snap snap Hot on the Heels of Love!
	5:39pm mariano: @Handy: Haha! He should make us put the remaining balance in his g-string at a special event at Monty Hall.
	5:40pm mariano: ...with Heels of Love as the soundtrack :P
	5:40pm upstairs dave: Love that you're doing this for our Genesis, so would he I'm sure....
	👻 5:41pm Threemoons: Hey peeps, very long time no see!
	5:42pm karen eliot: what year did they flee the uk? all their tapes/videos confiscated. it was a tough time for the family. does anyone know if they were ever recovered.?
	5:42pm Handy Haversack: @mariano (5:39): That would definitely signal that social distancing is over! I hope and assume that Ken would periodically turn his head and shout "THROBBING GRISTLE!" as the cash went in!
	👻 5:42pm Threemoons: Just found out that a long-pursued full time job is starting on time for me on Monday...with full work from home! So glad I pledged to WFMU to help me through the next few months of complete isolation...
	👻 5:43pm Threemoons: And I love this playlist. Rest in Power Genesis!
	👻 5:43pm Ken From Hyde Park: Social-distance handshake, Threemoons!
	5:43pm brainiac: Congrats on the new gig, Threemoons!
	5:47pm gen ken: I first heard TG at Cafe Flore in San Francisco in 1977- and Search & Destroy magazine published an amazing interview with Gen that riveted my attention for life. She/he is a huge influence - thanks for this show - so much great sonic work and pioneering ideas over an beyond this world. Bravo!
	5:48pm Adam West Coaster: This is an excellent example of why free-form non-commercial radio is vital, and worth going all in for.
	5:48pm ultradamno: Well GPO tribute I'll have to catch up with on the archives later RIP
	5:48pm nic: you introduced me to Throbbing Gristle_you show here in the very beginning_instant love
	5:49pm Miss G: Thanks for a great show in honor of GenP, Fabio, will share around.
	👻 5:50pm Threemoons: THanks, Ken, Brainiac! Fingers crossed. It's actually related to the medical field, and it's all hands on deck.
	5:50pm dale: this sounds like people in a retirement home waiting to die.
	👻 5:51pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Walls are thin between these apartments. I'm sure my neighbors are loving the fact that I'm teleworking these days...
	👻 5:51pm KenW: A bazillion thank youZ for this show Brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	5:51pm rf: just caught the last bit of this show but very great. Thank you.
	5:53pm ultradamno: Martin Denny would be proud.

	5:58pm radioronan: Lovely tribute to Gen. Thanks, Fabio
	5:59pm blee: Right on, Fabio. Very powerful show today and a lovely tribute. Thank you.
	5:59pm mariano: Thank you so much Fabio, exactly the tribute s/he deserves!
	5:59pm Rob W: Great one to end on Fabio. This show brought back a lot of memories. Well done.
