	3:04pm northguineahills: old James Murphy fave!
	👻 3:04pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Present.
	3:05pm queems: i’m losing my edge
	3:05pm khd: i am here
	3:05pm Webhamster Henry: Ok man this is a Casio PT-20 drum machine loop.
	👻 3:05pm JtotheK: hi Fabio. hi all who fail.
	3:05pm Michael 98145: i think mine went over the edge
	3:06pm zopa: Has anyone seen my edge?
	👻 3:06pm chresti: Nice loop
	3:06pm Polyus: Somebody said "degenerate music for freaks" or something so I come runnin'.
	3:07pm Dave in Vermont: The Failure of Staying Sharp
	3:08pm sugarwolf: I remember hearing this song on this very show back in, uh, 2002?
	3:08pm The Oscar: Afternoon! Show of hands, is there anyone here who didn't feel personally targeted the first time they heard this?
	3:08pm northguineahills: I think part of why I like this song, is, I actually played Daft Punk to indie/punk kids (circa 1998), and they ate it up....
	3:09pm Kat in Chicago: fails to raise hand
	3:10pm zopa: it's gotta be around here somewhere...
	3:10pm Don S: this tune owes a lot to "Cardboard Lamb"
	👻 3:11pm chresti: I remember this slower
	3:11pm Rich in Washington: I still really love the Chipmunks version of this song.
	3:13pm Michael 98145: This -had- to happen
	3:13pm northguineahills: (I never traded my turntables in for guitars, still had a guitar here and there).
	3:13pm Ike: Never paid that much attention to the lyrics on that one before today. Amusing. Fabio’s record store experiences might be why he likes it?
	3:14pm grumble gin goose: Class A show so far. LCD followed by the Marquis. Is it me selecting these records? No.
	3:16pm crateslinger: This is almost like a rock and roll show.
	3:19pm Polyus: Now this is a Swans deep cut.
	3:19pm Brendan: I wish Mark E. Smith didn’t leave us so early. He would have been delightful as an even grumpier old man, something to aspire to.
	3:20pm The Oscar: @Brendan To be fair, he was kind of a grumpy old man for about forty years at least.
	3:21pm Rich in Washington: He left us at the height of his curmudgeoness.
	3:22pm grumble gin goose: Ha ha grumpy in the womb. Wish I could still see him perform tho. Left a big gap in my life. I live in the north of England so saw the fall 4x per year minimum.
	3:24pm grumble gin goose: Fuck me this is good choices
	👻 3:25pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Great Annihilator is probably the favorite swan over here.
	3:26pm grumble gin goose: Of musics
	3:26pm Franco Twinkie: I have fond memories of seen The Fall in 1985 in a former steak house next to a gravel pit in Azuza. Mark was a total crank.
	3:27pm Franinator87: This is a nutty set so far
	3:29pm grumble gin goose: The steak place?
	3:30pm Ike: Hey everybody remember to log in and clicky-star “Mr. Giant Man” and catch up with that festering avatar of lethally stupid ultra-mediocrity on Tuesday mornings by that arch-nitwit Don Felder, accursed be his name.
	3:30pm khd: done and done
	3:33pm Franco Twinkie: Grumble, That's what I thought! What year did that come out. The place was called Oscars Corn husker.
	3:35pm khd: i have that very first LCD single due to this show
	3:35pm Granny Spicy Tuna: ha ha! hi Ike! Howdy Fabio, hey there, WFMU listeners…
	3:35pm Michael 98145: - everything from A to Z in the USA, including the Fall -
	3:36pm Brendan: Ike I believe I’ve had an epiphany. Felder is a turd encrusted, choad licking Denebrian slime devil.
	3:38pm ?: I like to think I coined the phrase of Can being the "Beatles of WFMU" :) https://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/60254
	3:39pm V Priceless: Heya Fab, Failures!
	👻 3:39pm chresti: I still haven't heard the nitwit song or Don Felder
	3:39pm Franco Twinkie: Michael, actually, Azuza is the Chumash Indian word for drive-in screen.
	3:41pm Michael 98145: @FT, i did not know that! :)
	3:42pm northguineahills: Harmony Rockets, new to me!
	3:42pm Ike: @Brendan, ooooo I like that. Let’s try to get that in as the first comment next Tuesday so that it becomes the title of that episode of GT. The first comment is always the title (for no apparent reason). So far I’ve successfully put insults of Felder in as several show titles.
	3:46pm Phillippe Bastille: Hi friends
	3:47pm zopa: i could've sworn i put it over there on the table, but it isn't there. i've looked everywhere. guess i'll have to go get a new one. sigh. i was just getting used to it.
	3:49pm Michael 98145: robots never tire. robots seldom admit failure.
	👻 3:50pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hurling toward failure with the brakes out today.
	👻 3:51pm Ken From Hyde Park: Meant to type "hurtling," but hurling may also apply. Still failing.
	3:52pm Brendan: @Ike if my car doesn’t start and I miss the Clay transitions / start up rumblings of the ole Garbage Truck, use full artistic license to post that or any other apt descriptions of that double neck totin’ malodorous congealed mass of rendered lard varmit.
	👻 3:54pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Very Digging.
	3:54pm Michael 98145: I always failed at hurdles of any height.
	3:57pm nic: love this!!!
	3:59pm Ike: @Brendan, will do, gratzi! (Or however it’s spelled.) Long live AntiFe! Also this track REIGNS.
	4:02pm Z-pulpa: anyone know when the show schedule changes for the summer?
	👻 4:04pm Ken From Hyde Park: @Z - The current schedule says it goes to June 3, so the new one will probably be announced a few days before that. www.wfmu.org...
	4:05pm Brendan: The background sounds somehow remind me of the Jack Horkheimer ‘Star Hustler’ weekly astronomy show theme.
	4:07pm zopa: gotta go. show favorited. thanks fabio.
	4:08pm Michael 98145: Ooh, that reminds me: "WAITING FOR THE SOLAR STORM: NOAA forecasters say there is a 75% chance of geomagnetic storms on May 16th when a CME is expected to hit Earth's magnetic field. The impact could cause storms ranging in strength from category G1 (minor) to G2 (moderate) with auroras in northern-tier US states such as Maine, Minnesota, the Dakotas, Montana and Washington State." spaceweather.com
	👻 4:08pm Rev. Turnip Druid: another Star Hustler fan here.
	4:10pm drowsy: Supersilent is soooo good, thanks for that.
	4:11pm Granny Spicy Tuna: there's a type that likes to comment a lot :P
	4:11pm spodiodi: i am a failure
	4:12pm khd: i'll dis the non-commenters - what're they gonna do about it?
	4:12pm Granny Spicy Tuna: no comment
	👻 4:14pm jmr3: Met Jack Horkheimer a few times when I was a kid. Odd dude. The original Tomita theme still transports me to being an 8th grader staying up too late on a school night.
	👻 4:14pm chresti: Oh dear, I missed the commenting comment
	4:15pm Booz: Spodi Odi, you cannot be a failure, you are my favorite local cocktail.
	4:16pm Booz: (All of us are many failures, never just one.)
	4:17pm spodiodi: cheers, booz
	4:22pm Z-pulpa: I am going to a meme themed rave next weekend..... I am trying to think of what meme look to pull off..
	4:22pm Chris from DC: Preclickied for convenience
	4:25pm crateslinger: I'm starting to flash back to the 1989 Rainbow Gathering...
	4:28pm Z-pulpa: when rainbow gathering came to town while i was in highschool I met so many trippy guys with bushy beards and it definitionally influenced my perception of adulthood.
	4:31pm crateslinger: great place to get dysentery, rainbow gatherings...
	4:31pm Booz: Is this the part inspired by "monks going to the roaring waterfall to chant"?
	4:32pm Brendan: Along the Rainbow theme: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Bridge_(film)
	👻 4:33pm chresti: ...so, you like comments?
	4:33pm Granny Spicy Tuna: i never stopped flashbacking to the 1989 rainbow gathering (and i wasn't there!)
	4:34pm Granny Spicy Tuna: chresti: fabio was saying that most listeners of WFMU never comment
	4:35pm Granny Spicy Tuna: in related news, most WFMU listeners never contribute to the fundraisers (according to SMK)
	4:35pm Brendan: Per the wiki: “ The response to Rainbow Bridge is uniformly negative. Shadwick calls it "a snafu of impressive dimensions even for the hippie generation."[1] He adds that it was "so drug-addled, pseudo-mystical and stuffed with narcissistic, self-important onscreen hippies that the only hope of saving it indeed was to put Hendrix on celluloid".[1] Shapiro describes it as "a ludicrous farrago of pseudo-mystical acid babble devoid of sincerity ... Overall, the best thing that can be said about Rainbow Bridge is that, after seventy-one minutes, it finishes". I gotta watch it now
	4:36pm Johnzon: hey fabio... you're a phenomenon. Im commenting. think that's all I got for now... keep up the groovy work!
	👻 4:37pm chresti: Ah! Thanks Granny!
	4:37pm Skagbaron: Tatort is still on German tv
	4:37pm Johnzon: crateslinger, was 89' the year Vermin Supreme first put a boot on his head & declared his intention to run for president at rainbow? my friend claims to have been there but he makes many outlandish claims...
	👻 4:39pm chresti: I was caring for my infant son in 1989, was not aware of a rainbow gathering.
	4:41pm Granny Spicy Tuna: in 1989 i thought that rainbow gatherings must be the coolest places on earth, but i never actually did attend one. glad to have missed out on the dysentery and STIs…
	4:42pm crateslinger: Could be Johnzon... Allz I remember it was the Cherokee National Forest in North Carolina, and we destroyed the place.
	4:42pm crateslinger: @GST - don't forget the sexual assaults
	4:43pm Granny Spicy Tuna: Alrighty, gang, i'm heading out for awhile, gotta send some more postcards Thanks for the tunes, Fabio
	4:44pm Granny Spicy Tuna: crateslinger: indeed. indeed
	4:44pm Brendan: That blind swordsman samurai film was great - cant remember the name.
	👻 4:45pm Bas NL: Hey, hey!
	4:46pm Z-pulpa: aww this is my favorite season changing getting ready to move and travel tune!
	4:46pm Granny Spicy Tuna: And Fabio picks this moment to play one of my favorite recordings. Oh, FOMO! You have me in your paralyzing grip.
	4:46pm Johnzon: also don't forget the vigilante justice... or hey... do.
	4:52pm Brendan: Is it too early to call this show a masterpiece?
	4:52pm common: This is the shit today, Fabio. As usual. Hello all!
	4:58pm steveo: hello. i am enjoying this set a lot.
	5:00pm northguineahills: Bamboo murder city reminds me of the bamboo forest I used to play tag and hide and seek w/ my friends as kids, in Japan. There were pathways/tunnels in the bamboo, and we all came out bloody running through them (totally worth it)!
	5:00pm khd: is this the world record attempt at longest burp? haha i kid eric arn...
	5:01pm northguineahills: (cut bamboo is really sharp).
	5:02pm Brendan: My bellwether of a good show is when I am experiencing symptoms of tripping listening having ingested only a ham sando.
	5:03pm nic: *!!!*
	5:03pm spodiodi: Rainbow ham?
	5:03pm northguineahills: ...and I just happened to find a slightly rusty machete in the woods... (which I cut bamboo for tunnels).
	5:06pm arcabard: \o/
	5:09pm Johnzon: sounds like a childhood well spent ngh!
	5:11pm TDK60: Hey there.
	👻 5:12pm chresti: We used to run around in orange orchards @ngh Hey TDK60
	👻 5:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: Slightly Rusty Machete = The band name you want
	5:12pm arcabard: <3
	5:13pm Michael 98145: Probably said this before. Never too much Fahey.
	5:15pm El Jefe en Calderon: Chli con Kearney, NJ
	5:15pm Brendan: Let the cowbell samba Wurlitzer bed music take you in.
	👻 5:16pm chresti: Mississippi Fred McDowell's version, I like
	5:18pm northguineahills: @chresti most of the orange orchards slightly south of here have been turned to clear-cut subdivisions. (that's FL for you).
	👻 5:19pm chresti: Most enjoyable, Fabio. ngh-these were in Fillmore, CA
	5:19pm yippie: I love the music you play and the words you say. I can see why clay pigeon likes you so much. Besides what other living person can say he has owned a Record Store in Williamsburg NY for the past 30 years?
	5:19pm northguineahills: I've seen Mika multiple times in Pan Sonic and solo, and a noise collaboration Awesome musician.
	5:19pm Johnzon: mississippi fred mcdowel hit on my mom and mentioned her on stage later
	👻 5:20pm chresti: woa! Johnzon!
	5:21pm tim from champaign: How did Mikka Vaino die?
	5:22pm Johnzon: to be fair thousands of people can probably say the same... at least the first part.
	5:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...the neap end of the giantman dance party...
	5:23pm uuee: "Five Fingered Fahey"...From an 'FMU trading card. He was doing a live set at Springdale Ave, and when finished, he had pilfered the music library, and was caught with LPs under his jacket. Visionaries and Crackpots was the card set.
	5:23pm Devin B.: Just saw Sähkö Recordings is gonna put out a series of unreleased Vainio stuff
	5:23pm Johnzon: what's your record store called fabio?
	5:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: haha uuee
	5:24pm yippie: earwax
	5:24pm nic: love Mika_great music!!!

	5:27pm Johnzon: thanks yippie!
	5:29pm yippie: and now there are more concerts I actually want to see in Williamsburg area than Manhattan
	👻 5:30pm Bas NL: Aliens have detected highly intelligent radio transmissions from Earth every 7 rotations, with a period of 3/24th of a rotation.
	5:31pm khd: the us embassy has issued an order for all non-emergency personnel have been told to leave Iran...
	5:35pm tim from champaign: Bolton is the real life General Jack Ripper. To quote Thurston Moore he's also a war pig fuck.

	5:42pm khd: to quote gary farmer
	5:47pm Rich in Washington: khd: my favorite line from that movie.
	👻 5:48pm chris: khd, i thought they were ordered to leave Iraq. i don't think there are many non-spook US gov't folks in Iran, anyway. (but, yeah, stupid fucking white men: fact.)

	👻 5:55pm chresti: Thanks Fabio! Winning selection of winning failures!
	5:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Any chance of a deep dive on RoyHarper w/out him passing away 1st?...

The impact could cause storms ranging in strength from category G1 (minor) to G2 (moderate) with auroras in northern-tier US states such as Maine, Minnesota, the Dakotas, Montana and Washington State." spaceweather.com

	👻 4:14pm jmr3: Met Jack Horkheimer a few times when I was a kid. Odd dude. The original Tomita theme still transports me to being an 8th grader staying up too late on a school night.
	👻 4:14pm chresti: Oh dear, I missed the commenting comment

	4:25pm crateslinger: I'm starting to flash back to the 1989 Rainbow Gathering...
	4:28pm Z-pulpa: when rainbow gathering came to town while i was in highschool I met so many trippy guys with bushy beards and it definitionally influenced my perception of adulthood.
	4:31pm crateslinger: great place to get dysentery, rainbow gatherings...
	4:31pm Booz: Is this the part inspired by "monks going to the roaring waterfall to chant"?
	4:32pm Brendan: Along the Rainbow theme: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_Bridge_(film)
	👻 4:33pm chresti: ...so, you like comments?
	4:33pm Granny Spicy Tuna: i never stopped flashbacking to the 1989 rainbow gathering (and i wasn't there!)
	4:34pm Granny Spicy Tuna: chresti: fabio was saying that most listeners of WFMU never comment
	4:35pm Granny Spicy Tuna: in related news, most WFMU listeners never contribute to the fundraisers (according to SMK)
	4:35pm Brendan: Per the wiki: “ The response to Rainbow Bridge is uniformly negative. Shadwick calls it "a snafu of impressive dimensions even for the hippie generation."[1] He adds that it was "so drug-addled, pseudo-mystical and stuffed with narcissistic, self-important onscreen hippies that the only hope of saving it indeed was to put Hendrix on celluloid".[1] Shapiro describes it as "a ludicrous farrago of pseudo-mystical acid babble devoid of sincerity ... Overall, the best thing that can be said about Rainbow Bridge is that, after seventy-one minutes, it finishes". I gotta watch it now
	4:36pm Johnzon: hey fabio... you're a phenomenon. Im commenting. think that's all I got for now... keep up the groovy work!

	4:41pm Granny Spicy Tuna: in 1989 i thought that rainbow gatherings must be the coolest places on earth, but i never actually did attend one. glad to have missed out on the dysentery and STIs…
	4:42pm crateslinger: Could be Johnzon... Allz I remember it was the Cherokee National Forest in North Carolina, and we destroyed the place.
	4:42pm crateslinger: @GST - don't forget the sexual assaults
