	3:11pm tim from champaign (now washington): The playlist photo was taken at a party at Fabio's parent's house circa 1969. Just out of the frame is a young Fabio dressed up like Z-Man.

	👻 3:26pm mrdonutsu: Z-Man? There is no Z-Man, varlet. And indeed, it's not a game we play. I am Superwoman!
	3:26pm Toutevoix: ((((((◍))))))
	👻 3:27pm Rev. Turnip Druid: re: the hard-rocking NEU, my favorite is probably Lila Engel .. from what, Neu2 i think..? but god, that track destroys everything.
	👻 3:27pm Rev. Turnip Druid: also: Z-MAN for president pope, always.

	3:28pm Michael 98145: Out of Solitary !!
	3:28pm tim from champaign (now washington): Hooray, Fabio!
	3:28pm Curt: Ha ha ha!
	3:28pm Smog on the Tyne: NEU! surely is the weird but wonderful sound that could be the theme tune of StF, excellent stuff that sums up what the show is all about? I love it myself.
	3:29pm tim from champaign (now washington): Neu '75 + Yoko Ono's Plastic Ono Band + some deadly dub = early PiL
	👻 3:29pm chresti: Yay! Out of the Hot Box into the Cool Box!
	3:30pm Smog on the Tyne: Dave: I’m feeling bit more optimistic that better and brighter days are ahead - hope you’re good too?
	3:30pm YETI BOB: Tim: That math checks out.
	3:30pm βrian: Just back from the back stoop where coffee was roasted. I love watching that progression from green, to olive drab, to khaki, to tan, and so on.
	👻 3:31pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: SOUNDS LIKE A FUCKIN HERD OF ELEPHANTS
	👻 3:31pm Bas NL: The Old Codger on safari..
	👻 3:32pm Rev. Turnip Druid: a herd of fuckin' elephants? THIS IS WHY I PLEDGE.
	3:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: βrian : If it smelleth not of tunafish oil - it ain't quite.
	3:32pm Handy Haversack: BBQB JA, I raise: davesoldier.com...
	👻 3:32pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: HANDY YES
	3:33pm David (in London): Smoggy Tynester, that's good. It's been like summer here this week, so spirits have been lifted hugely. Reverend, if those elephants are fuckin' I think this is probably a gross violation of their privacy.
	3:34pm P-90: It’s a jungle out there...
	👻 3:34pm chresti: I bet the old Codger will bust another hernia over the playlist pic.
	3:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This is why the living room has speakers like this : 1.bp.blogspot.com...
	3:34pm βrian: I'm not an urban creature but Full City is my roast.
	3:38pm Rory: Hello!
	3:39pm peeveen: my dog hates this "tune"
	3:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dawg knows we shouldn't open them metal doors...
	3:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but Fabio knows there's no Movie without it...
	👻 3:43pm Rev. Turnip Druid: th'FOSSIL.
	3:46pm nic: love this_love Pan Sonic/Keiji Haino!!!
	👻 3:46pm Bas NL: Beautiful track by F.A.M.P.!
	3:48pm tim from champaign (now washington): Excellent set, Fabio!
	👻 3:51pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: thanks for reminding me i need to listen to more greg davis
	👻 3:54pm Rev. Turnip Druid: That drone (wirkus? Davis/Roux?) could have gone for hours. Should have gone for hours.
	3:56pm P-90: Some super-choice cuts from the HotBox this week
	3:58pm Smog on the Tyne: Loved the Paul Wirkus track - another StF discovery for me, thank you Fabio. 👍🏼
	4:03pm knasterask: The best show!
	👻 4:03pm Bas NL: Oh right.. i have this album August 53rd.. time to re-listen!
	4:05pm TDK60: Good to hear extra Brew.
	4:05pm Michael 98145: So much music i own goes unplayed because of this station
	👻 4:05pm mrdonutsu: Speaking of Bitches Brew, someone linked me to this Mahavishnu Orchestra page yesterday: www.loudersound.com... And I observed that you could play all 4 of the MO YouTube clips linked on that page simultaneously and it totally worked! Just don't also play the Miles clip linked there. Not in the same pocket.
	👻 4:06pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: i have an original pressing of Bitches Brew, and the mix is SO much different from the remaster you find everywhere else these days. sounds much more natural and like a recording of a live band performing, much more blended together - Miles' trumpet especially is mixed to sound really sharp on the remaster, which is nice and adds to the abstract otherworldyness of it, it's a really good remaster but i think i prefer the OG.
	4:10pm coelacanth∅: greetings Fabio and Failure sect
	4:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This 'extra' track almost (almost!) like a 'In a Silent Way' track... Obviously Fusion lets us down when it dilutes the complexity of Jazz & the power & drive of Rawk merely for the sake of compromise - giving the worst of both worlds. How that could derive from the roiling subterranean vibes Miles evokes form his ensemble is a stark cautionary tale indeed... Not everyone got the wrong end of the stick though! & FMU has schooled me that Bitches Brew was not such a barren mother after all ! ...
	4:11pm Smog on the Tyne: @Michael So much music I own is BECAUSE of this show 😂👍🏼
	4:12pm Michael 98145: @Smog on the T, same here ...
	4:12pm Michael 98145: station-wide
	4:14pm Rory: Miles in the sky
	4:15pm coelacanth∅: BBQJA that must be beautiful. (another thing to add to my shopping list for when i go back in time) i always shoot for the "least remastered" version i can find. they did it right the first time, usually - the way the artist envisioned it; but most industry people now think they can improve everything.
	4:16pm coelacanth∅: "to a hammer everything looks like a nail"
	4:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: An interesting concern in terms of Miles Goes Electric - because the jazz tradition was you set up a few mics & blow ! It's not the mixing, editing or effects. That junk was for Pop & Rawk. & Miles broke that Rule !...
	👻 4:18pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: @coel it's really nice. and i listen to digital most of the time so it's nice to pull it out as a treat. i do think some remasters like the Talking Heads one do improve on the original - i think more often than not i prefer an OG mix but sometimes remasters can be better
	4:18pm WM: Byard Lancaster! Very good, Fabio. Lancaster deserves much wider recognition.
	4:20pm Fredericks: This Byard Lancaster is really nice. Makes me think about Spaceways Inc. Ken Vandermark's funky foray.
	4:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Digital has wider dynamic range - & that seduces people. Whereas it use to be about using the range one had artfully, it might seem...
	4:21pm Mike tp: Lancaster and candy clouds keepers...
	👻 4:26pm Bas NL: Hans Dulfer's a proud export of the NL. :)
	4:28pm coelacanth∅: Josh i have thousands of records that i can't listen to as it is because my floor's too shaky! i don't hate digital, if it's quality...i did get a few albums that refused to sound good on vinyl: love it to death; layla & other love songs; plastic surgery disasters... and the white album, which i have 3.5 copies of on vinyl but it seems to come out of the sleeve pre-scratched! so i'm Thankful for the cds
	👻 4:29pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: @rev you hit the nail on the head this is exactly the case with the digital vs original LP master of bitches brew. the digital is way more dynamic and it absolutely works, the LP is just way prettier, more lush and soft. it is really cool to enjoy both versions as it's one of the greater differences in OG vs Remasters i've heard
	4:29pm P-90: 3.5 copies is the OPTIMUM number of White Albums!
	4:30pm coelacanth∅: i'm curious which talking heads album you refer to. the first 4, which are the only ones i care about, to be honest, i never minded the sound
	4:30pm coelacanth∅: P-90 haha sure is!
	4:30pm Lake Hiawatha Doug: Started with Miles and just keeps getting better. Great set. Thanks!
	4:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I'm seduced by it myself! Do I want to hear things that happened when TheBeatle were in AbbeyRoad2 that I haven't heard before ?? Yes Please - every last thing that I can...
	👻 4:32pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: @coel they don't sound bad but if you compare mixes, the remaster is superior IMO. i think Fear of Music which i always thought sounded bad gets the biggest push, but the other big ones (77 / Name of this Band / Remain in Light) all sound better remastered to me
	👻 4:33pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: More Songs about Buildings and Food i mean...not The Name of This Band is Talking heads....damn run-on titles.
	4:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I mean - when I was a kid - I'd put say Black Sabbath on my 2nd hand Stereo - & the needle would just skid across it ! Easy to forget all that...
	4:35pm coelacanth∅: i'll buy that. more songs first grabbed me when i'd smoked some herb and had time to just hang out (aka a teenager) and i was aware of the flatness of the production but the subtlety wooed me in that situation!
	4:35pm coelacanth∅: ...but yeah 77 and fear of music are definitely a little flat
	👻 4:36pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: yes. exactly. it's more dynamic, but pretty subtle. to an average person they actually might not even notice much of a difference, but certain intricate details pop a bit more on the remasters
	👻 4:37pm Bas NL: And the father of Candy Dulfer.
	4:39pm WM: And Alan Shorter! Another great underrecognized record.
	4:51pm Periwinkle: Really enjoying this jazzy set
	4:56pm mb: Hi Fabio and listeners who comment
	👻 4:56pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: we are approaching macaroni necklace territory here
	5:04pm Carmichael: I prefer to think of myself as a commenter who listens. 🙃
	5:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Read but a second ago: 'I've always thot of myself as a painter who got derailed by circumstance.' - Joni Mitchell
	5:12pm Brian D: Great show as always, Fabio. For those interested, author/biographer Stephen Davis published a terrific (and short) book based on an interview he did with Miles Davis, simply titled Miles Davis/1973. It covers recording of "Bitches Brew" and "On the Corner," etc.
	5:13pm Handy Haversack: Cheers, everyone! Also, can anyone explain why I waited all the way till five to make a drink? Sincerely, Comlistmentenerer
	5:13pm Aquebogue: Thank you Fabio for turning me onto Rarefilmm.com!!
	5:15pm tim from champaign (now washington): I still have never heard On The Corner. I've never run across a used or decently priced new copy, nor have I lived anywhere where the library carries it.
	5:19pm βrian: @Handy: Speaking of, can you make a Transubstantiation? No idea what's in it.
	5:20pm ami ad: Cheers Handy Haversack, did something I didn't do in a while, cracked open a beer before 4. Times, they are changing.
	5:20pm Rory: On The Corner is my favorite Miles album.
	5:23pm Handy Haversack: By the time I make one, βrian, it goes all different on me. ami ad, I heard a bunch of appts. opened at Javits today -- have you tried the state website today?
	5:24pm Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: Defense just got completely owned in the Chauvin trial a few minutes ago, by the way. Prosecutor got the sergeant, Chauvin's direct superior, to say that the restraint should have ended the moment Floyd stopped resisting. Prosecutor had to argue for foundation so that he could get this one question through. Great job.
	5:24pm βrian: The Jab-it center, then. Damn, all the excess coffee in my system has turned to black bile ...
	5:25pm headcleaner: good one, RR63
	5:25pm Handy Haversack: Melancholia lurks, βrian!
	5:26pm ami ad: Handy Haversack, yes sir, since the morning, got a friend on it too(looking for me). Nothing shows up yet. i got it open and checking every now and then. Appreciate the concern.
	5:28pm Handy Haversack: Also this one, ami ad: apschedule.com LOGIN: NYCDOHMH PASSWORD: WELCOME
	5:31pm Oregon bob: This is what HELL would sound like for eternity:(
	5:31pm Rory: Ahhhh!!!!!!!
	5:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I was thinking a proper Lovecraft soundtrack.
	5:32pm nic: loved that one!!!
	5:36pm Will: Waiting faithfully for the Codge. Meanwhile, listening fully to Fabio. Life is good all around in my FMU world.
	5:37pm ami ad: Handy Haversack:Thank you, just tried that site, it doesn't accept the info you posted, and I rather not sign up/give extra websites my info. (also unemployed here) Might just try the local CVS tomorrow (again). Hope K8 is doing fine today.
	5:37pm dale: hey fablio and his cult following.
	5:41pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, ami ad. She's achy and complains of also feeling "icky." Canceled a dentist appt. but kept a job interview and is quite competently dealing with a cocktail. Small price to pay, we figure.
	5:42pm Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: You and I, Will. Codger is one of my favourites. I really liked the PSA thing that Fabio did for the Codger during the marathon. I like hearing the deejays say nice things about each other and also rib each other. This is some cool and soothing background music right now, Fabio!
	5:44pm Handy Haversack: This is a good soundtrack for suddenly remembering that April is Official Handy H. Remembers to Do His T. S. Eliot Impression and Kate Laughs Month.
	5:45pm Will: @Rosey. I would walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more just to be the man who walked 500 miles to find out the true identity of Codge.
	5:47pm Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: Ha, Will. It is fun to have these mysterious characters coming over the airwaves every Thursday evening. Courtney, the Bodenheims, Lolabelle Pancake, who always makes me hungry for flapjacks.
	5:47pm JBoogie: thanks Fab
	👻 5:47pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Belated salute for th'ORSI.
	5:48pm Wendy del Formaggio: @Will: If you're wondering about the true identity of the Ol' Codger, just call him on the telephone and ask him. His number is listed. It's 6.
	5:48pm tim from champaign (now washington): I was fortunate enough to attend on of Pauline Oliveros' deep listening workshops. It has stayed with me since.
	5:51pm Rory: Thanks Fabio! Check this out when get the chance toshinorikondo.bandcamp.com
	5:51pm Rory: Thanks FMU community!
	5:52pm Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: Wendy, that joke got me good! Classic joke but perfect in that context.
	5:53pm Will: @Wendy. Wait, you're being funny. Is the Codge really Ken Friedman, is what I have always wondered.
	👻 5:53pm chresti: Listening, waiting for any side effects that may happen from the J&J shot I got this morning.
	5:53pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Fabio! Looking forward to hearing you from across rivers again! Thanks, Skeleton Scott! Later on, all.
	5:53pm ami ad: Thank you, DJ. Crew. Peace all.
	5:54pm Wendy del Formaggio: @Rosey: Thanks! I love that bit about the phone number and had to share it. @Will: Ken is definitely not the same person as the Ol' Codger. I have seen them in the same room together!
	5:55pm Smog on the Tyne: I loved the show tonight Fabio but love the news you’re back in the flesh even more next week. Thank you.
	5:55pm tim from champaign (now washington): Fabio - Your last song always elevates each show. Thanks for the great jams!
	👻 5:56pm chresti: Fabio is at last set free from the hot box!
	👻 5:56pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: thx fr the tunes!
	5:56pm Krill Sagan: Illuminating show, as always... Spanks to Fab & All Ye Failures!
	👻 5:57pm Bas NL: Thanks Fabio! Great show, but next week.. back to the WFMU mothership! Yeay!!
	5:58pm Will: Wait. If I up my lifetime pledge, can I find out who he really is? Just some old codger?...oh, the indignity!
	5:58pm dale: bbqb josh allen - you should only like buffalo acts spyro gyra and the goo goo dolls.
	5:59pm Sprattus: TY~~~~
	5:59pm dale: and cannibal corpse if you're into that sort of thing.
	👻 5:59pm chresti: Thanks Fabio!
	5:59pm Carmichael: Thanks, Fab. 👍
	👻 6:00pm Rev. Turnip Druid: codger cheese.
	👻 6:00pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: unfortunately Benny the Butcher (who is actually quite good!) is probably the only musician of worth from the Buffalo area. unless you count Julius Eastman who lived there at the end of his life.
	👻 6:00pm Rev. Turnip Druid: farewell, box of heat
	6:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TY Fabio !
	7:47pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Fabio
	👻 3:00pm twelvety: Fabio, you almost gave me Heart Failure when you said it was your “last broadcast [...pause, pause, pause...] from the Hotbox”. Whewwwwww. I thought you were leaving us forever! Noooooooo! But glad you’ll be in the studio next week!
	👻 3:33pm Bas NL: With a worthy re-run on April 14th, 2022.

	3:11pm tim from champaign (now washington): The playlist photo was taken at a party at Fabio's parent's house circa 1969. Just out of the frame is a young Fabio dressed up like Z-Man.
	3:12pm covid16: Got my 14th shot, you slackers.

	3:22pm Handy Haversack: Nice for NEU! not to mean that Fabio's signal dropped!

	3:22pm Ryansterlingvirtue: love these guys
	3:23pm YETI BOB: this is great, I've never heard the more hard-rocking NEU!
	3:23pm Smog on the Tyne: Howdee Dave in that there London.
	3:23pm squidbeak: Absolute BANGER

	3:26pm Toutevoix: ((((((◍))))))
	👻 3:27pm Rev. Turnip Druid: re: the hard-rocking NEU, my favorite is probably Lila Engel .. from what, Neu2 i think..? but god, that track destroys everything.
	👻 3:27pm Rev. Turnip Druid: also: Z-MAN for president pope, always.

	3:28pm tim from champaign (now washington): Hooray, Fabio!
	3:28pm Curt: Ha ha ha!
	3:28pm Smog on the Tyne: NEU! surely is the weird but wonderful sound that could be the theme tune of StF, excellent stuff that sums up what the show is all about? I love it myself.
	3:29pm tim from champaign (now washington): Neu '75 + Yoko Ono's Plastic Ono Band + some deadly dub = early PiL
	👻 3:29pm chresti: Yay! Out of the Hot Box into the Cool Box!
	3:30pm Smog on the Tyne: Dave: I’m feeling bit more optimistic that better and brighter days are ahead - hope you’re good too?
	3:30pm YETI BOB: Tim: That math checks out.
	3:30pm βrian: Just back from the back stoop where coffee was roasted. I love watching that progression from green, to olive drab, to khaki, to tan, and so on.
	👻 3:31pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: SOUNDS LIKE A FUCKIN HERD OF ELEPHANTS
	👻 3:31pm Bas NL: The Old Codger on safari..
	👻 3:32pm Rev. Turnip Druid: a herd of fuckin' elephants? THIS IS WHY I PLEDGE.

	3:32pm Handy Haversack: BBQB JA, I raise: davesoldier.com...
	👻 3:32pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: HANDY YES
	3:33pm David (in London): Smoggy Tynester, that's good. It's been like summer here this week, so spirits have been lifted hugely. Reverend, if those elephants are fuckin' I think this is probably a gross violation of their privacy.
	3:34pm P-90: It’s a jungle out there...
	👻 3:34pm chresti: I bet the old Codger will bust another hernia over the playlist pic.
	3:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This is why the living room has speakers like this : 1.bp.blogspot.com...
	3:34pm βrian: I'm not an urban creature but Full City is my roast.
	3:38pm Rory: Hello!

	3:48pm tim from champaign (now washington): Excellent set, Fabio!
	👻 3:51pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: thanks for reminding me i need to listen to more greg davis
	👻 3:54pm Rev. Turnip Druid: That drone (wirkus? Davis/Roux?) could have gone for hours. Should have gone for hours.
	3:56pm P-90: Some super-choice cuts from the HotBox this week
	3:58pm Smog on the Tyne: Loved the Paul Wirkus track - another StF discovery for me, thank you Fabio. 👍🏼
	4:03pm knasterask: The best show!
	👻 4:03pm Bas NL: Oh right.. i have this album August 53rd.. time to re-listen!
	4:05pm TDK60: Good to hear extra Brew.
	4:05pm Michael 98145: So much music i own goes unplayed because of this station
	👻 4:05pm mrdonutsu: Speaking of Bitches Brew, someone linked me to this Mahavishnu Orchestra page yesterday: www.loudersound.com... And I observed that you could play all 4 of the MO YouTube clips linked on that page simultaneously and it totally worked! Just don't also play the Miles clip linked there. Not in the same pocket.
	👻 4:06pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: i have an original pressing of Bitches Brew, and the mix is SO much different from the remaster you find everywhere else these days. sounds much more natural and like a recording of a live band performing, much more blended together - Miles' trumpet especially is mixed to sound really sharp on the remaster, which is nice and adds to the abstract otherworldyness of it, it's a really good remaster but i think i prefer the OG.
	4:10pm coelacanth∅: greetings Fabio and Failure sect
	4:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: This 'extra' track almost (almost!) like a 'In a Silent Way' track... Obviously Fusion lets us down when it dilutes the complexity of Jazz & the power & drive of Rawk merely for the sake of compromise - giving the worst of both worlds. How that could derive from the roiling subterranean vibes Miles evokes form his ensemble is a stark cautionary tale indeed... Not everyone got the wrong end of the stick though! & FMU has schooled me that Bitches Brew was not such a barren mother after all ! ...
	4:11pm Smog on the Tyne: @Michael So much music I own is BECAUSE of this show 😂👍🏼
	4:12pm Michael 98145: @Smog on the T, same here ...
	4:12pm Michael 98145: station-wide
	4:14pm Rory: Miles in the sky
	4:15pm coelacanth∅: BBQJA that must be beautiful. (another thing to add to my shopping list for when i go back in time) i always shoot for the "least remastered" version i can find. they did it right the first time, usually - the way the artist envisioned it; but most industry people now think they can improve everything.
	4:16pm coelacanth∅: "to a hammer everything looks like a nail"
	4:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: An interesting concern in terms of Miles Goes Electric - because the jazz tradition was you set up a few mics & blow ! It's not the mixing, editing or effects. That junk was for Pop & Rawk. & Miles broke that Rule !...
	👻 4:18pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: @coel it's really nice. and i listen to digital most of the time so it's nice to pull it out as a treat. i do think some remasters like the Talking Heads one do improve on the original - i think more often than not i prefer an OG mix but sometimes remasters can be better
	4:18pm WM: Byard Lancaster! Very good, Fabio. Lancaster deserves much wider recognition.
	4:20pm Fredericks: This Byard Lancaster is really nice. Makes me think about Spaceways Inc. Ken Vandermark's funky foray.
	4:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Digital has wider dynamic range - & that seduces people. Whereas it use to be about using the range one had artfully, it might seem...
	4:21pm Mike tp: Lancaster and candy clouds keepers...
	👻 4:26pm Bas NL: Hans Dulfer's a proud export of the NL. :)
	4:28pm coelacanth∅: Josh i have thousands of records that i can't listen to as it is because my floor's too shaky! i don't hate digital, if it's quality...i did get a few albums that refused to sound good on vinyl: love it to death; layla & other love songs; plastic surgery disasters... and the white album, which i have 3.5 copies of on vinyl but it seems to come out of the sleeve pre-scratched! so i'm Thankful for the cds
	👻 4:29pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: @rev you hit the nail on the head this is exactly the case with the digital vs original LP master of bitches brew. the digital is way more dynamic and it absolutely works, the LP is just way prettier, more lush and soft. it is really cool to enjoy both versions as it's one of the greater differences in OG vs Remasters i've heard
	4:29pm P-90: 3.5 copies is the OPTIMUM number of White Albums!
	4:30pm coelacanth∅: i'm curious which talking heads album you refer to. the first 4, which are the only ones i care about, to be honest, i never minded the sound
	4:30pm coelacanth∅: P-90 haha sure is!
	4:30pm Lake Hiawatha Doug: Started with Miles and just keeps getting better. Great set. Thanks!
	4:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I'm seduced by it myself! Do I want to hear things that happened when TheBeatle were in AbbeyRoad2 that I haven't heard before ?? Yes Please - every last thing that I can...
	👻 4:32pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: @coel they don't sound bad but if you compare mixes, the remaster is superior IMO. i think Fear of Music which i always thought sounded bad gets the biggest push, but the other big ones (77 / Name of this Band / Remain in Light) all sound better remastered to me
	👻 4:33pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: More Songs about Buildings and Food i mean...not The Name of This Band is Talking heads....damn run-on titles.
	4:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I mean - when I was a kid - I'd put say Black Sabbath on my 2nd hand Stereo - & the needle would just skid across it ! Easy to forget all that...
	4:35pm coelacanth∅: i'll buy that. more songs first grabbed me when i'd smoked some herb and had time to just hang out (aka a teenager) and i was aware of the flatness of the production but the subtlety wooed me in that situation!
	4:35pm coelacanth∅: ...but yeah 77 and fear of music are definitely a little flat
	👻 4:36pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: yes. exactly. it's more dynamic, but pretty subtle. to an average person they actually might not even notice much of a difference, but certain intricate details pop a bit more on the remasters
	👻 4:37pm Bas NL: And the father of Candy Dulfer.
	4:39pm WM: And Alan Shorter! Another great underrecognized record.
	4:51pm Periwinkle: Really enjoying this jazzy set
	4:56pm mb: Hi Fabio and listeners who comment
	👻 4:56pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: we are approaching macaroni necklace territory here
	5:04pm Carmichael: I prefer to think of myself as a commenter who listens. 🙃
	5:06pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Read but a second ago: 'I've always thot of myself as a painter who got derailed by circumstance.' - Joni Mitchell
	5:12pm Brian D: Great show as always, Fabio. For those interested, author/biographer Stephen Davis published a terrific (and short) book based on an interview he did with Miles Davis, simply titled Miles Davis/1973. It covers recording of "Bitches Brew" and "On the Corner," etc.
	5:13pm Handy Haversack: Cheers, everyone! Also, can anyone explain why I waited all the way till five to make a drink? Sincerely, Comlistmentenerer
	5:13pm Aquebogue: Thank you Fabio for turning me onto Rarefilmm.com!!
	5:15pm tim from champaign (now washington): I still have never heard On The Corner. I've never run across a used or decently priced new copy, nor have I lived anywhere where the library carries it.
	5:19pm βrian: @Handy: Speaking of, can you make a Transubstantiation? No idea what's in it.
	5:20pm ami ad: Cheers Handy Haversack, did something I didn't do in a while, cracked open a beer before 4. Times, they are changing.
	5:20pm Rory: On The Corner is my favorite Miles album.
	5:23pm Handy Haversack: By the time I make one, βrian, it goes all different on me. ami ad, I heard a bunch of appts. opened at Javits today -- have you tried the state website today?
	5:24pm Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: Defense just got completely owned in the Chauvin trial a few minutes ago, by the way. Prosecutor got the sergeant, Chauvin's direct superior, to say that the restraint should have ended the moment Floyd stopped resisting. Prosecutor had to argue for foundation so that he could get this one question through. Great job.
	5:24pm βrian: The Jab-it center, then. Damn, all the excess coffee in my system has turned to black bile ...
	5:25pm headcleaner: good one, RR63
	5:25pm Handy Haversack: Melancholia lurks, βrian!
	5:26pm ami ad: Handy Haversack, yes sir, since the morning, got a friend on it too(looking for me). Nothing shows up yet. i got it open and checking every now and then. Appreciate the concern.
	5:28pm Handy Haversack: Also this one, ami ad: apschedule.com LOGIN: NYCDOHMH PASSWORD: WELCOME
	5:31pm Oregon bob: This is what HELL would sound like for eternity:(
	5:31pm Rory: Ahhhh!!!!!!!
	5:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I was thinking a proper Lovecraft soundtrack.
	5:32pm nic: loved that one!!!
	5:36pm Will: Waiting faithfully for the Codge. Meanwhile, listening fully to Fabio. Life is good all around in my FMU world.
	5:37pm ami ad: Handy Haversack:Thank you, just tried that site, it doesn't accept the info you posted, and I rather not sign up/give extra websites my info. (also unemployed here) Might just try the local CVS tomorrow (again). Hope K8 is doing fine today.
	5:37pm dale: hey fablio and his cult following.
	5:41pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, ami ad. She's achy and complains of also feeling "icky." Canceled a dentist appt. but kept a job interview and is quite competently dealing with a cocktail. Small price to pay, we figure.
	5:42pm Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: You and I, Will. Codger is one of my favourites. I really liked the PSA thing that Fabio did for the Codger during the marathon. I like hearing the deejays say nice things about each other and also rib each other. This is some cool and soothing background music right now, Fabio!
	5:44pm Handy Haversack: This is a good soundtrack for suddenly remembering that April is Official Handy H. Remembers to Do His T. S. Eliot Impression and Kate Laughs Month.
	5:45pm Will: @Rosey. I would walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more just to be the man who walked 500 miles to find out the true identity of Codge.
	5:47pm Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: Ha, Will. It is fun to have these mysterious characters coming over the airwaves every Thursday evening. Courtney, the Bodenheims, Lolabelle Pancake, who always makes me hungry for flapjacks.
	5:47pm JBoogie: thanks Fab
	👻 5:47pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Belated salute for th'ORSI.
	5:48pm Wendy del Formaggio: @Will: If you're wondering about the true identity of the Ol' Codger, just call him on the telephone and ask him. His number is listed. It's 6.
	5:48pm tim from champaign (now washington): I was fortunate enough to attend on of Pauline Oliveros' deep listening workshops. It has stayed with me since.
	5:51pm Rory: Thanks Fabio! Check this out when get the chance toshinorikondo.bandcamp.com
	5:51pm Rory: Thanks FMU community!
	5:52pm Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz: Wendy, that joke got me good! Classic joke but perfect in that context.
	5:53pm Will: @Wendy. Wait, you're being funny. Is the Codge really Ken Friedman, is what I have always wondered.
	👻 5:53pm chresti: Listening, waiting for any side effects that may happen from the J&J shot I got this morning.
	5:53pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Fabio! Looking forward to hearing you from across rivers again! Thanks, Skeleton Scott! Later on, all.
	5:53pm ami ad: Thank you, DJ. Crew. Peace all.
	5:54pm Wendy del Formaggio: @Rosey: Thanks! I love that bit about the phone number and had to share it. @Will: Ken is definitely not the same person as the Ol' Codger. I have seen them in the same room together!
	5:55pm Smog on the Tyne: I loved the show tonight Fabio but love the news you’re back in the flesh even more next week. Thank you.
	5:55pm tim from champaign (now washington): Fabio - Your last song always elevates each show. Thanks for the great jams!
	👻 5:56pm chresti: Fabio is at last set free from the hot box!
	👻 5:56pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: thx fr the tunes!
	5:56pm Krill Sagan: Illuminating show, as always... Spanks to Fab & All Ye Failures!
	👻 5:57pm Bas NL: Thanks Fabio! Great show, but next week.. back to the WFMU mothership! Yeay!!
	5:58pm Will: Wait. If I up my lifetime pledge, can I find out who he really is? Just some old codger?...oh, the indignity!
	5:58pm dale: bbqb josh allen - you should only like buffalo acts spyro gyra and the goo goo dolls.
	5:59pm Sprattus: TY~~~~
	5:59pm dale: and cannibal corpse if you're into that sort of thing.
	👻 5:59pm chresti: Thanks Fabio!
	5:59pm Carmichael: Thanks, Fab. 👍
	👻 6:00pm Rev. Turnip Druid: codger cheese.
	👻 6:00pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: unfortunately Benny the Butcher (who is actually quite good!) is probably the only musician of worth from the Buffalo area. unless you count Julius Eastman who lived there at the end of his life.
	👻 6:00pm Rev. Turnip Druid: farewell, box of heat
	6:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TY Fabio !
	7:47pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Fabio
	👻 3:00pm twelvety: Fabio, you almost gave me Heart Failure when you said it was your “last broadcast [...pause, pause, pause...] from the Hotbox”. Whewwwwww. I thought you were leaving us forever! Noooooooo! But glad you’ll be in the studio next week!
	👻 3:33pm Bas NL: With a worthy re-run on April 14th, 2022.
