	3:00pm DJ Guin: Great Scott!
	3:00pm Handy Haversack: Sceleton Scott and the Wednesday Wonderfuls! Ready to slide with you all into the second half of the week ...
	3:01pm Phillippe: Hey Scott and Scotties
	3:01pm Carmichael: Heya Scott and denizens. Time to rock, in an educational fashion of course.
	3:02pm tim from champaign (now washington): Scott! My man!
	3:03pm ami ad: Hello DJ. Hello all.
	3:04pm Ken From Hyde Park: Howdy, Scott. Thanks for helping us learn stuff!
	3:10pm TDK60: Hi Scott, on this first hot day for the JC/NYC metro. At least the humidity is low.
	3:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: HBDs Townshend, GraceJones, JoeyRamone...
	3:11pm chris in the redwoods: hi, Scott and friends. that Claudette Et Ti Pierre track was wonderful.
	3:11pm Fox: A beautiful day to you alllllllllllllll
	3:13pm Richy4619: Greetings Scottelites
	3:13pm Phillippe: This is a great cut, Scott! Perfect for this beautiful weather!
	3:14pm joseloalter: It really is.... Happy Wednesday everyone.
	3:14pm xtrakrispy: What is that riff from, it’s driving my crazy!
	3:15pm xtrakrispy: Eno?
	3:15pm TDK60: Revrab63- I was just lookin' at a calendar with birthdates too: Ho Chi Minh, Malcolm X, and it's Buddha Day.
	3:15pm tim from champaign (now washington): No disrespect to Irwin but I hope we can keep Scott in this time slot.
	3:18pm chaos_in_la_la: Thanks for playing Jenny Mae. Do you know about Bela's book about her and Jerry Wick?
	3:18pm Handy Haversack: Word, tim!
	3:20pm McGroovey: I want the Jenny Mae record. Listening to the radio gets expensive.
	3:20pm Phillippe: I would like to venture the expression "Great Scott!" originated when time travelers heard this set and then went back in time with it echoing in their heads...
	3:20pm TDK60: Actually, it's not Buddha Day; outdated calendar. So sorry.
	3:21pm mrdonutsu: I was just thinking the other day how little airplay Spacemen 3 gets lately.
	3:21pm Scott Williams: Happy Day everyone! chaos_in_la_la, please tell more. Jenny Mae's got a sad sad story, but I don't know a lot.
	3:21pm chris in the redwoods: hard to disprove, Phillippe! i'm sure you're right.
	3:21pm The Oscar: Afternoon! I mentioned this in the comments for Ken's show, but I feel like I need to spread the news that JANDEK HAS WRITTEN A BOOK: corwoodindustries.com...
	3:22pm Handy Haversack: Math checks out, Phillippe.
	3:22pm ?: Bonne apres- midi Scott et les amateurs de belle musique
	3:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TDK60: Just talking about Malcolm w/ someone yesterday. Appears it is BuddhaDay : en.wikipedia.org... - apparently a Moveable Feast The legend has him indeed under the ♉︎Taurus ⦿Sun (sign of Forms) - & the ♏︎Scorpio Full ☽Moon opposite that (sign of Meaning)... or he was Enlightened under that configuration - or perhaps both. I hope to learn more about that...
	3:24pm chaos_in_la_la: Here's a link. Bela ran and runs Anyway Recordings. The title is from a song by Jerry Wick of the band Gaunt. Love, Death, and Photosynthesis. www.belakoe-krompecher.com...
	3:24pm ?: Scott sent U a Urban tax exemption review with nuances not sure my iPhone enabled departure.
	3:25pm Guido from Cologne: This singing steel guitar Pete Drake is so far out ...
	3:25pm WM: I love Spacemen 3 version of MC5's Black to Comm.
	3:26pm emilie s: Hey all, I keep missing the details during DJ mic breaks -- where are we supposed to send our emails with our thoughts about the educational services/benefits provided by the mighty WFMU?
	3:26pm Little Danny: Hi Scott, hi y'all.
	3:27pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Who has carrot cake?
	3:27pm TDK60: Rev: It /is/ Buddha day. So, my outdated calendar matched and the doublechecking I did online was wrong!
	3:27pm Guido from Cologne: One could say Kraftwerk robot voice aesthetics were pre-dated by Country records ...
	3:28pm Handy Haversack: @emilie: Pasting: The city of Jersey City has asked WFMU to prove that its programming has educational value, as a condition of keeping its tax exemption. This is a serious matter to the financial health of the station. As part of this effort, we're asking our listeners to provide letters or emails explaining how and why WFMU's programming has not just entertained them, but has also provided educational value. The educational value can be related to the history and relationship between culture or ideas, or more direct value such as information about any matters of public importance. Tell us how you have gained knowledge through the time you have spent listening to WFMU. This is a serious effort to address an important disagreement WFMU is having with the city of Jersey City. Whether you are an educator, a student or merely a student of life, please help us out with a thoughtful letter or email, and please keep them to 300 words. Letters should address the City of Jersey City, and can be emailed to helpus@wfmu.org by May 28th. Thank you for your help. Also, Ken said that putting it on letterhead from educational institutions would be super helpful and letters from teachers and educators in general.
	3:28pm tim from champaign (now washington): I just looked up Jenny Mae. The end of her life is sad. I wasn't aware of her. Last week I read "Hit So Hard" by Patty Schemel who was Hole's drummer. I can't handle Hole at all but something seemed compelling about the book. Patty's story of addiction is totally harrowing. I'm glad she made it. She seems very relatable plus has great musical tastes (other than Hole-hahaha).
	3:28pm Alvy Singer: helpus@wfmu.org by May 28th
	3:29pm Handy Haversack: Oh, Ken said that attaching the letter as a PDF to an e-mail, esp. with the prenomiate letterhead, is probably the most useful format.
	3:29pm emilie s: Thanks, Handy and Alvy!
	3:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TDK60: I wonder how the moveable feast date is derived - I will have to read about it. It is not the Full Moon now ! (It's a smidge past the Quarter Moon this moment.)
	3:30pm Phillippe: Rev Turnip Druid Baltimore Magazine says SugarBaker’s Cakes in Catonsville
	3:31pm Rev. Turnip Druid: 1971 strikes again!
	3:32pm Rev. Turnip Druid: thx Phillippe! I do need to get my source figured out, here!
	3:32pm Scott Williams: Every g-damn time, Rev!
	3:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Worthy of the Bonzos this.
	3:33pm sphere: Hey RTD, I live in Catonsville. And hello.
	3:34pm chaos_in_la_la: @timfromwashington: Bela's book is totally compelling, and not all gloom. It is an excellent account of many of the triumphs and pitfalls of love, music, and life. I love musician biographies and prolly never would've gone near Patty's, but will now keep an eye out.
	3:34pm Phillippe: How's the carrot cake, sphere? And when are you moving? And why the hell are you moving?
	3:35pm Handy Haversack: Do they even have carrot cake in northern VA, sphr?
	3:35pm sphere: I'm moving early next month. And I'm moving because my work is in NoVa and I don't want to drive 3-4 hours a day for a commute
	3:35pm Phillippe: It's parsnip cake down there, Handy
	3:36pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Catonsville, home of the magnificent Patel Brothers indian grocery... suddenly very hungry..
	3:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's in Autocarrot's rider, surely...
	3:36pm Phillippe: well, if your time is THAT valuable...
	3:36pm sphere: I could walk to Patel's :)
	3:37pm sphere: Kebab Hut is pretty damn good.
	3:37pm tim from champaign (now washington): @chaos - thanks for posting the link. I'm going to keep an eye out. Being a Michigan dude I have a strong connection to Ohio weirdos. I'd highly recommend Patty's book. Just ignore the misspelling of Gary Numan's name at the beginning and you'll be in for some good reading.
	3:37pm r-man: Whoa...Bobby Conn. Who knew? hot stuff
	3:37pm Bas NL: Hi Scott & good people!
	3:38pm Phillippe: Captain's Table still there?
	3:38pm Little Danny: Those were some Shooby-esque tones, Scott.
	3:38pm Rev. Turnip Druid: still got the day job in DC which means when we go back to office, it's the commuter train from b'more. Long time sittin' but it beats drivin' .. SW: BRING THAT KONG HEEBA HOOBA BACK HERE NOW
	3:39pm steveo: Volunteers!
	3:40pm Phillippe: RTD I'm trying top get every human I know to move to Annapolis. Straight shot on 50 to the New Carrollton metro
	3:40pm sphere: MARC is pretty good. totes agree, RTD.
	3:41pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Der Fuhrer's Face and that Broughton number. That's about it.
	3:41pm TDK60: I'm still a bit uneasy: only 37% of U.S.ians are fully vaccinated.
	3:42pm Jason from Houston: Buck Owens & Buddy Allan - Pfft You Were Gone LOL
	3:43pm McGroovey: Spike Jones is the raspberry king.
	3:43pm Handy Haversack: At least it's up to 60 percent of NYCians at partial, TDK60.
	3:43pm Rev. Turnip Druid: what TDK said. I'm fully vax'd but I still go nowhere and still do nothing. The bars here are crammed with people spewing their breathing & I hide here...
	3:43pm TDK60: Thanks, HH. NYC learned the hard way.
	3:43pm The Oscar: "Serenade to a Maid" by Teddy Powell and his Orchestra (1941) has some fantastic raspberries: www.youtube.com...
	3:45pm Rev. Turnip Druid: That Battiato LP 'fetus' is a permanent classic here
	3:47pm steveo: But if you're talking over it, then it's played under
	3:48pm Blinky: I would say most overplayed artists on WFMU: Thee Oh Sees, Cut Worms, Nico....
	3:48pm wizard frog: Aw, you can find almost every song that's ever been played on this station but not how many times - that would be interesting
	3:50pm Rev. Turnip Druid: KHLAM!
	3:51pm nathan: it's that one LEENALCHI song, isn't it
	3:51pm listener 126464: I Was Gonna Write You A Letter But Couldn't Spell (insert raspberry sound). Something like that, a Michael Shelley No. 1 Hit.
	3:51pm Handy Haversack: wizard frog, you can see how many playlist have a certain song. See wfmu.org...
	3:51pm Little Danny: I love this album!
	3:52pm ChukAmok: Don't get me started on MD Rte. 50 Phillipe! Also: Isn't the BWI rail station closer to 'Nap than New Carrollton?
	3:54pm steveo: Mr. Giant Man has been played 840 times in the playlist era. Can anyone beat that?
	3:54pm Bas NL: And -although a weekly staple- we definitely could do with more plays of Mr. Giant Man.
	3:55pm Little Danny: Thanks for that link, Handy. Cool way to explore who plays what.
	3:56pm wizard frog: @Handy hah yea was looking at that - I bet Kenzo has a special trick that can search by play amount
	3:56pm ChukAmok: That is an interesting feature Handy. Thanks!
	3:56pm DJ Guin: my new Pfizer chip implant allows 24/7 streaming of WFMU -- and makes the station tax exempt!
	3:58pm DJ Guin: <<yawns>> okay...time to punch the wife and kiss the clock....smell ya later, kids. gonna suck when I go back to the office in June
	3:58pm Yes: Enjoying piccolo. Hi all
	3:58pm McGroovey: Do people actually live in Maryland? I mean, I suppose they must, but I've never met anyone from Maryland, so I have no direct evidence. And I live in New Jersey.
	3:59pm McGroovey: This I Don't Want to Join a Cult song is very coverable.
	4:00pm Robert Tables: Eyyy Slim Pickens! Hi Scott!
	4:00pm DJ Guin: this song needs a .gif of Slim ridin' the Bomb
	4:01pm Little Danny: Yeah, it's surprising that there's no all-time top-ten song-plays ranking for WFMU, even if the various DJ soundbeds throw a bit of a wrench in the works. Such a rich bed of data at this point.
	4:01pm DJ Guin: www.youtube.com...
	4:02pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Annapolis is just down rt.2 from here, looks on the map like a potentially fun run on the moto. As for the MARC train to DC, i can walk to camden stadium from here, so that's my destiny, post-WFH...
	4:04pm Handy Haversack: Rev., Phillippe can offer premoistened water snakes, if that sweetens the deal!
	4:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The scene around DC - into Maryland & WestVA ? - famously where Rollins & DaveGrohl were from... StonerMetal & various things... What I always heard...
	4:05pm McGroovey: С той стороны зеркалного стекла - S Toy Storoni Zerkalnogo Stekla (Helping out the Russian search bots)
	4:06pm ChukAmok: @McGroovey D.C. born, Maryland raised. @Rev. I cannot express exactly how much I would love to see the O's at Camden again.
	4:07pm McGroovey: There's a new Tim Buckley live thing. I just got it in the mail but haven't listened yet. It's supposed to be great. "Merry-Go-Round at the Carousel", 1968
	4:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Frow Show featured a new Tim Track - from an Owsley archive!...
	4:08pm TDK60: Great to hear Tim. Parts of this song I think are also in the tune "Love from Room 109..." on "Happy Sad". I think..
	4:09pm ChukAmok: @RRN63 some great music has come out of the Del/Mar/Va region in my lifetime. Don't forget Universal Order of Armageddon, The Hated, and No Trend!
	4:10pm ChukAmok: Not to mention John Fahey, originally of Takoma Park, MD.
	4:10pm TDK60: ..or maybe the same melody? Sorry, been a while since I listened to Happy/Sad."
	4:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Tim is Definitive. DefiniTim... Yes there'll be the Appalachian element down there as well as urban Rawks & Funks...
	4:11pm sphere: RRN63: Rollins, Grohl, and MacKaye were from Arlington, VA, which is a close-in suburb of DC.
	4:13pm sphere: So was Mark Robinson of Teen Beat and the folks behind Simple Machines. It was very close-knit community and it felt like one big high school.
	4:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx sphere. Geology Rocks - but Geography is Where It's At. Edumacational & no mistake.
	4:13pm Rev. Turnip Druid: @ChukAmok -- The Hated, indeed. I had the good fortune to attend an ear-shattering house party at their shared place in columbia heights .. not super-clear on the living arrangements but i think they shared that rowhouse with christ on a crutch & sarcastic orgasm .. quite a scene
	4:13pm Handy Haversack: My favorite exchange in the movie The Green Room, because of its verisimilitude. Radio DJ: "I'm here with the DC punk band--" Guitar player [Maebe from Arrested Development]: "Actually, we're from Arlington!"
	4:14pm sphere: @ Handy: LOL! I missed that but I get it perfectly since I am from Rockville.
	4:15pm Little Danny: This is fantastic.
	4:15pm Handy Haversack: And the Makeup. And the Ignobles/Jonathan Fire*Eater. Both from DC, no?
	4:15pm sphere: Yes, THAT Rockville.
	4:15pm Handy Haversack: At least you're not going back, sphere!
	4:16pm TDK60: Swill Radio. Same outfit Anschluss was on. I still have a cassette.
	4:16pm sphere: Absolutely, Handy. The Make-Up were terrible live. (I know Handy, not going back, yeah.)
	4:16pm ChukAmok: @Rev. That is amazing. I was too young to know about things like that at the time, and when I did start to learn I still wasn't old enough to drive anywhere.
	4:16pm Rev. Turnip Druid: 4-year-old me was a Rockvillian as well. Fires every 2 weeks in that apartment building.
	4:16pm paddy in matawan: dat sax note doe
	4:17pm Jason from Houston: YESSSSSSSSS
	4:17pm Jason from Houston: ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎
	4:17pm ChukAmok: That was some beautiful Pickle Factory.
	4:17pm sphere: Ouch, I bet I know where you lived RTD. Those places were terrible.
	4:17pm Handy Haversack: I saw them in Providence once, and memory says it was a good show, but this is really mists-of-time stuff. Stewart of Jonathan Fire*Eater was my first-year college roommate. RIP, Stewart.
	4:18pm paddy in matawan: was jammin along with the synth on that last one while I shoulda been workin.
	4:18pm sphere: @ Handy - Well, your milage may vary. :)
	4:19pm sphere: *mileage
	4:20pm ChukAmok: Nation Of Ulysses was an arguably worse live band than the Make-Up would eventually become. Again: too young to see the former "in their time", but saw Make-Up plenty and it was hit or miss.
	4:21pm McGroovey: @TDK60 this new live thing I mentioned includes a Strange Feeling suite with part of Love From Room 109... Actually, it's ... Strange Feeling [7m34s]> Love From Room 109 [2m33s] > Sing a Song for You [2m32s> Merry-Go-Round [Fred Neil] > Strange Feeling (reprise) [10m58s]
	4:21pm Jason from Houston: I remember seeing The Make-Up and it being a good show. Same for Chain and the Gang. Many years apart. LOL
	4:21pm TDK60: Thanks McG.
	4:21pm efd: $mall ¢hange was indeed back live last week!
	4:21pm sphere: @ChukAmok - that is interesting because I think that 12-Point Plan To Destroy America is a pretty awesome album.
	4:22pm Jim the Poet: I feel like I'm learning a lot today
	4:22pm steveo: Woah @wfmu just tweeted that the tax office reversed their decision!!! twitter.com...
	4:22pm Rev. Turnip Druid: I preferred Ulysses before they became "Nation of" .. but my patience was very thin for most dischord stuff (sorry kids, never dug fugazi) .. Beefeater, though, was prob favorite live band from that label
	4:22pm sphere: WOOT
	4:23pm TDK60: !! YIKES !!
	4:23pm chris in the redwoods: sweet mother! democracy works!
	4:23pm McGroovey: I can look up what Aquarium album that is from
	4:23pm sphere: Yeah, RTD, I was uncomfortable in the DC scene because I just couldn't dig Dischord.
	4:24pm Marco Esquandolas: Awesome News!
	4:24pm Handy Haversack: WOO HOO! steveo, do they say whether it was because they knew I was going to write a devastatingly beautiful letter? Were they preemptively saving themselves the emotional stress?
	4:24pm McGroovey: Yes, it is Aquarium
	4:24pm Bas NL: Wow @steveo! That's GREAT NEWS!
	4:24pm steveo: Lol yep that's why handy
	4:24pm TDK60: I saw Beefeater, Rev TD. Outspoken. I had a cassette. (still have?)
	4:24pm Greg: "From the other side of the mirror glass"
	4:25pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Richmond had The Landlords, Baltimore-area had Black Market Baby, DC had Christ on a Crutch. That was my holy trinity of area HC, all non-dischord..
	4:25pm McGroovey: www.discogs.com...
	4:26pm Jason from Houston: Whoa! Congratulations, WFMU!
	4:26pm sphere: Christ On A Crutch is new to me. I'll look around.
	4:26pm TDK60: GOOD GOLLY!!
	4:26pm Greg: That's how one would translate Aquarium's song.
	4:26pm Rev. Turnip Druid: @sphere: the LP "crime pays when pigs die" ... can't go wrong
	4:26pm Handy Haversack: What about Bad Brains? Were they much part of the DC scene?
	4:26pm sphere: RTD, did you ever see Peach of Immortality?
	4:27pm Jason from Houston: Stay educational and exempt!
	4:27pm paddy in matawan: @steveo!! WOOOWOOO... I didn't even click send on my email yet!!
	4:27pm Little Danny: Unrest is still my fave D.C. band.
	4:27pm Little Danny: hell yeah FMU
	4:27pm Rev. Turnip Druid: @sphere: i saw their rivals New Carrollton quite a bit, & Jared's post-Peach solo project Furnace was great.
	4:28pm Alvy Singer: The best band from DC would have to be Bad Brains.
	4:28pm TDK60: There was Government Issue in DC. Fierce but kind of funny too-- their singer; John Stabb. RIP.
	4:28pm sphere: RTD, thanks. I didn't know about the early DC noise scene until I picked up a Peach of Immortality CD at a show.
	4:29pm McGroovey: It's on the album "Akustika". Discogs says it's 1981, but their release dates are clouded by the fact that they were basically all self-bootlegs until 1984 or so. www.discogs.com...
	4:29pm Greg: Technically, "Through the Looking Glass", and it appeared on an eponymous 1976 album. I know we've all moved on from the Aquarium's translation, but you asked, and I delivered... :)
	4:29pm TDK60: Scott, did you hear the news? JC tax dept. relented. Just-in, via some tweety thing!
	4:29pm steveo: I'm relieved, because I had one sentence written, and then I got stuck 😂
	4:29pm ChukAmok: Bad Brains in their day WAS the DC scene. Minor Threat was still scrappy Teen Idles when Bad Brains was first tearing it up.
	4:30pm sphere: Bad Brains were before my time but I believe they were as big as you might imagine. "Banned In DC" is based on real experience.
	4:30pm sphere: Is it reasonable to say that the Bad Brains invented hardcore?
	4:30pm Yes: This is nice !
	4:31pm McGroovey: And there were several versions of many songs, and there were underground fan-recorded audience tapes that were often as widely distributed as anything the band did the themselves. But that sounds like a studio recording, so with going to my record collection, I'll say it's the version from Akustika.
	4:32pm ChukAmok: Excellent news re: the tax decision reversal!! Guess I can delete this draft unconstructively calling the powers that be in JC "irredeemable, thankless money-grubbing bureaucrats drunk on their own lack of imagination".
	4:32pm Handy Haversack: Cool, thanks for the insights! steveo, I had edited letters for two other people but hadn't done mine yet -- just secured letterhead from work! Creamo did an excellent Battiato set yesterday. As is typical, I didn't even know him. Thanks, FMU -- tax threat or not, I'm still learning! sphere, could Death get partial credit? Though maybe it doesn't count if you go unheard ...
	4:32pm McGroovey: @Greg I prefer "From the other side of the looking glass" but the Russian implies either translation, ambiguously.
	4:32pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Sphere: There was a tiny but strong 80s experimental scene in DC but hardcore was competing for venues -- Was privileged to play the opening of the DC Arts Center in adams morgan back then but options were slim..
	4:35pm Greg: McGroovey, I let the sweet sound wash over me and didn't pay too much attention otherwise. I listened to them as a kid, but their prime was slightly before my time (i.e. before I was born). I translated "mirror glass," and then was like, what's a mirror glass?
	4:35pm ChukAmok: A lot of early Slumberland releases were in/around D.C.: Black Tambourine, Big Jesus Trash Can/Whorl, Velocity Girl, Lilys, etc. Late '80's/early '90's.
	4:35pm sphere: RTD, I think that theme resonated through the decades--always a few experimentalists and weirdos going their own way. Like TV John Langworthy. :)
	4:35pm TDK60: YAY for WFMU and its listeners! Wahoooo.
	4:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: PHEW. ...Had a good letter brewing tho'... A jam-mate told me my feedback heavy gittar style reminded him of Fugazi somehow ? I have never heard evidence of this - & when I inquire of the collective I get crickets...
	4:37pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Chuk: Whorl were OUTSTANDING live. Many gigs at DC Space (RIP, now a starbux)
	4:37pm sphere: RRN63, I never associate feedback with Fugazi save some of the tracks on Red Medicine (which was weird).
	4:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...been talk of a few station friends in high places... sphere Thx !
	4:38pm Alvy Singer: Worked with Minor Threat guitarist Lyle Preslar and DC Youth Brigade bassist Bert Queiroz at Caroline Records in the 90's. Easy going guys with lots of great stories about the DC Scene. You'll never meet a nicer person than Bert.
	4:39pm DJ Guin: just read about the whole tax thing -- here's my suggestion...still write the letters? and keep sending them? until Staysh or Clay complains. thoughts?
	4:39pm winston legthigh: yippee yappee and yahooooooey! congrats wfmu, crew, listeners, all contributors to this community which continues to amaze!
	4:39pm Handy Haversack: Did anyone have any experience with the spoken-word opera made from the interstitial conversating from the archive of Fugazi concerts?
	4:40pm sphere: I have a copy of Velocity Girl's first single signed by Archie back when he was working at Yesterday and Today :)
	4:41pm ChukAmok: I can imagine! I have their 7"s and cherish the Mind Revolution/Stupid Shit single (produced by Wharton Tiers!). Obviously it was before my time. I met Mike Schulman back in '01 and we found out that we went to the same school in Annapolis, only he was in HS and I was in kindergarten at the time.
	4:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DJ Guin - there's the Microsoft axiom that problems that go away by themselves can come back the same way... Let's let this sink in & see what Staysh et al say ? ?
	4:42pm dale: afternoon. enjoying the mix. i have no cool stories of the music biz. but i did give peter gabriel a ride in my amc hornet from a pancake house once.
	4:42pm ChukAmok: @Handy what is this "opera" you type of?
	4:42pm sphere: @ dale - was Gabriel a good sort?
	4:43pm ChukAmok: @Dale that qualifies as a cool story.
	4:44pm Alvy Singer: @Dale-Even cooler is that you owned an AMC Hornet.
	4:44pm paddy in matawan: peter gabriel eats pancakes?!
	4:44pm Handy Haversack: @ChukAmok: slipimprint.bandcamp.com... pitchfork.com...
	4:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & what of this association of the DC area & StonerMetal that lodged in my head somehow...
	4:45pm DJ Guin: Did he sing 'Pancakes' to the tune of Biko?
	4:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...pack yer flapjacks Dale's come to take you home...
	4:45pm ChukAmok: Gotta ramble on and hang some expensive painting in a fancy mansion. See y'all later! (Thanks Handy!)
	4:45pm TDK60: I forget, but probably found out about Battiato via WFMU.
	4:46pm joe mulligan: I found a whole thread on blowing a raspberry: forums.stevehoffman.tv...
	4:46pm Rev. Turnip Druid: @chuk - that Whorl single is classic. Schulman worked at Vinyl Ink in Silver Spring when I lived nearby & was a total class chap. Still have that Big Jesus Trash Can demo tape around here somewhere. SW: YAY for the Battiato set, grand stuff sir.
	4:47pm paddy in matawan: love a good fanfare
	4:47pm Alvy Singer: The Obsessed were from Potomac, MD. Those guys were on the Doom, Stoner Metal kick.
	4:47pm DJ Guin: no Karaoke Duet for Jacque the Minky?
	4:47pm dale: yeah, he was cool. it was 78 maybe? after the melty face album. saw him at the pancake house and asked for an autograph on a blank check and he checked off that the service was good. then said 'by the way mate, could you give us a lift back to out hotel?' (he was with a blonde woman). who would say no?
	4:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: joe nice work !
	4:48pm DJ Guin: you might've done the world a huge favor and backed the AMC Gremlin over Phil Collins...
	4:49pm paddy in matawan: More like Empty Collins then, no?
	4:50pm Rev. Turnip Druid: DC/MD also had Elegent Mess [sic], who was space-rock before space-rock was cool. Played a memorable on-air set at WMUC which left ears ringing..
	4:50pm joe mulligan: thanks @Rev, I kept looking for De Fuheres Face in The Producers soundtrack and Mel Brooks. finally found @Rev Turnip already mentioned it
	4:51pm dale: now, now. where would against all odds have been without that song?
	4:52pm winston legthigh: the sun is past the yardarm, thanks hh, later gang!
	4:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Phil just needs to be superglued to a drumstool & taxed @ a fair rate. There are worse people...
	4:54pm McGroovey: Man, there's almost as much information on the Steve Hoffman forums as on the WFMU comments boards.
	4:54pm Handy Haversack: Enjoy, winston!
	4:55pm Rev. Turnip Druid: I clearly must have the CLIC album now. This station is expensive. Thank you.
	4:55pm paddy in matawan: Easy Lover might be high up in my play counts though.
	4:56pm chris in the redwoods: grazie mille, Scott, for this fab Battiato tribute set. wowza.
	4:56pm paddy in matawan: this set owns
	4:58pm dale: apparently i clicky starred two battiato songs in a past life.
	5:06pm pgalub: Hey Scott and everyone! Great tribute! 🎶
	5:07pm Handy Haversack: Hey, pgalub! Really loving the set, Scott.
	5:07pm steveo: Yep digging this set a lot
	5:08pm paddy in matawan: Franco Battiato's 12 Golden Country Greats?
	5:08pm Scott Williams: Heya Pete, thanks man! Oh, hey, thanks Handy & Steveo, and thanks to you guys for volunteering these days!
	5:08pm Jaylefus: Thoroughly enjoyable set
	5:09pm Carmichael: My letter about the Old Codger being educational probably won them over.
	5:10pm dale: 50,000,000 franco battiato fans can't be wrong.
	5:10pm nathan: so, uh... any Eurovision fans in FMU land? final's on saturday. apparently Battiato represented Italy in '84 (Scott's fav year, i hear)
	5:11pm steveo: So glad to give back, Scott
	5:11pm pgalub: Yo Haaaaaaaandy! ;)
	5:11pm joseloalter: "we'll break the asphalt with colorful gardens" Grande Battiato
	5:12pm Handy Haversack: I sent you a note about Friday, Scott -- I think I can say "screw work" and come in for a few hours if you need hands.
	5:12pm McGroovey: 1975 (single-mic?) recording of a house concert with that song, Scott. It's the last song (@31:13). БГ (BG) is Борис Гребенщиков (Boris Grebenshchikov), the leader and main songwriter and vocalist of Aquarium www.youtube.com...
	5:13pm Dan: I have always loved battiato and can’t believe I’m hearing this on American radio. Thanks Scott.
	5:13pm Scott Williams: thanks @McGroovey, I knew you'd come thru! @Handy, gotcher email. will respond soon... @nathan, got some '84 in the cart!
	5:13pm McGroovey: Ah, actually, it says it's a home studio recording chez Яков Певзнер / Yakov Pevzner
	5:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'break the asphalt with colorful gardens' - dig it.
	5:15pm McGroovey: But it's not the same recording as the one you played. I think the one you played is probably the one that's on Akustika.
	5:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Klaus Nomi's cisgen uncle...
	5:16pm McGroovey: Oh, hey, you can even read the lyrics online... www.planetaquarium.com...
	5:19pm McGroovey: Quicky Google translation if the lyrics (close enough for rock'n'roll): The last rain is almost no rain; See how easy it is to find peace in it. And if you believe that tomorrow will be a new day, Then it's quite easy .. Oh, only this night would not end; It seems to me that my home is no longer home. See how light it is for them - they play their life On the wall behind the glass. I think I recognize myself In that boy reading poetry; He squeezed the arrows with his hand so that this night does not end, And the blood flows from the hand. But it seems like it's just a game On the other side of the mirror glass; And here is dawn, but we have not lost anything: Today is the same day as yesterday.
	5:20pm McGroovey: I'd polish that translation up, but it's fun to admire the Googlebot's choices.
	5:21pm Carmichael: Yay, Donna tomorrow!
	5:21pm McGroovey: Woohoo!
	5:22pm steveo: Yay, Donna. Hope Fabio's back on his feet soon.
	5:22pm Ken From Hyde Park: Good news, everone!
	5:22pm Billy Jam: my DJ speaks - my DJ rules - but I can't tell when he is telling me the truth
	5:22pm nathan: yes!!!!!!
	5:22pm Scott67: YAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!
	5:23pm BH: whoooo were edukationale!
	5:23pm Aquebogue: YESSSSSSS!!!!!!
	5:23pm big rutig: Great news!
	5:23pm chresti: Yay!
	5:23pm emilie s: Letter draft deleted! And I'll officially stop talking trash about JC government now.
	5:24pm Alvy Singer: Excellent news Scott.
	5:25pm wizard frog: Wooohooo really really really such wonderful news
	5:25pm Barney Grubbs: Hurray! And I wrote a letter before I didn't need to!
	5:25pm Ivan from Woodbridge: Wonderful news! Was driving but pulled over to comment. Hallelujah!
	5:25pm Handy Haversack: And I can finally stop pretending that educating me is even a remote possibility for any force on the planet!
	5:25pm Rich in Bay Ridge: Wait. Was walking to the car and heard the tail end of “listeners did it again.” Did JC change its tune?
	5:25pm Ken From Hyde Park: That was good bed music for that piece of good news. Thanks to the folks who sent their letters in already. I was still in the "planning what to write" stage.
	5:25pm Rich in Bay Ridge: I’d advise to save those letters
	5:25pm Mick: That is most excellent news! Your announcement landed moments before I was slated to start writing my email. Bravissimi, everyone!
	5:26pm queems: GREAT NEWS!!
	5:27pm pgalub: Whoo hoo! I wonder if they heard the archive of the "Hide & Seek" episode of "The Fuzzy Glove Hour", and just ran away.
	5:28pm tim from champaign (now washington): Dambit! I was away for 90 minutes and I missed JC relented, an epic Frnaco Battiato et, a lively DC conversation and Billy Jam. I'm never working again!
	5:28pm nathan: @pgalub, i was just about to say... i have this sinking feeling that they might reverse the reversal after hearing Fuzzy Glove Hour
	5:28pm Little Danny: This reminds me a bit of the New Lines.
	5:29pm chris in the redwoods: Rich in Bay Ridge, you might write Ken. they may still want educators to send PDFs of letters on institutional letterhead. dunno. but, yeah, they're keeping the letters, it sounds.
	5:29pm Handy Haversack: Oh, Ken, I was going to tell you when you sent your bullet points, but since that isn't needed: Kate and I made plans to get away kind of close to your neck of the woods during the last week of June. Near Saugerties. A beer or coffee or hike is on us if you're free at all during that time!
	5:29pm McGroovey: Will tonight's Fuzzy Glove Hour be as educational we've come to expect? I wrote "grown to expect", but I unchose that choice.
	5:31pm McGroovey: *as So many choices. And the autocorrectbot rechoses at will.
	5:31pm chris in the redwoods: and, hey, Billy Jam dropped by! yo, Billy Jam!
	5:32pm PaulRobeson1920: Hoooray for WFMU!! Nice show, Scotty Williams!!
	5:32pm pgalub: @nathan- ;)
	5:32pm Billy Jam: hello Chris in Bay Area + Tim in Washington
	5:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...must admit Rawkin' & Trippin' triggers me receptors real good...
	5:34pm Mr. Pumpy: Hello, Scott. I just tuned in...and Mike Nesmith from 1972. I'm digging. Hello all!
	5:35pm Mr. Pumpy: I don't care if he's sharp/flat. I like it.
	5:35pm dale: i like when mike gave up the stocking cap for a cowboy hat.
	5:35pm Scott Williams: @Mr Pumpy, and that pedal steel solo! BILLY JAM! Sup.
	5:36pm Mr. Pumpy: Scott...there is a lot to discuss here, no doubt. Damn...some church organ?!
	5:37pm Mr. Pumpy: Billy Jam...hola!
	5:37pm Mr. Pumpy: Neil!
	5:38pm tim from champaign (now washington): Young Ones?
	5:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...from Neil's Heavy Concept Album...
	5:40pm Carmichael: Didn't realize this is a Traffic cover.
	5:40pm egould310: Oh wow, Rick. That’s like a total bummer.
	5:40pm steveo: Radio rethink is showing a Neil sedaka album cover...
	5:40pm Scott Williams: yep, Dave mason tune
	5:41pm tim from champaign (now washington): Did this song inspire the "Madchester" sound?
	5:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 1984. OOF.
	5:41pm Mr. Pumpy: "It's risotto, Mike!"
	5:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: No tim this one did ! :D
	5:43pm Rob (Jerzcity): Mike was the Moe of the group, right? And Rick was Larry? Neil was Curly, so that makes Viv what - Shemp or Curly Joe? Brb gonna watch the motorhead episode
	5:43pm Billy Jam: @steveo - Radio rethink is constantly doing things like that..... hello Mr. Pumpy!
	5:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Relate to this Moon gittar.
	5:44pm nathan: good celebratory set
	5:45pm tim from champaign (now washington): @RRN - ha!
	5:45pm Mr. Pumpy: Hey, Rev Rab!
	5:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sir Pump - Salutations.
	5:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Happy 76th to your Windmill Person.
	5:49pm Handy Haversack: Mr. P! We sow the seed ... nature grows the seed ...
	5:49pm Ken From Hyde Park: Sounds like good, Handy. Will be in touch.
	5:49pm steveo: Wunnerful show, guvna
	5:51pm Mr. Pumpy: Handy! ...then, we eat the seed!
	5:51pm steveo: Thanks Billy. That one particularly tickled my funny bone
	5:51pm egould310: How would you like it if I called you up and went “beep beep” in your ear?
	5:51pm Handy Haversack: Whoa, for a minute it sounded like the Wichita Lineman had eaten "Why Must I Be the Thief."
	5:52pm Androu B.: Hello! @ Rob (Jerzcity), I would consider Neil as Shemp, Viv as Larry, and as for Rick, he'd be more like Joe Besser.
	5:52pm chris in the redwoods: thanks, Scott! another great show ending with another great Lineman!
	5:53pm steveo: Great lineman or best ever lineman?
	5:53pm tim from champaign (now washington): This might be t he best Lineman yet!
	5:53pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Scott! This was perfection. I bet JC just heard the first few notes of the show, screamed, and gave the hell up. Hey there, Billy Jam OK, later on, you wonderful people. I need you exactly as much as I want you.
	5:53pm chris in the redwoods: steveo and tim, you know what's up.
	5:54pm TDK60: Gracias and good evening, Scott.
	5:54pm Scott Williams: @steveo, I'm torn b/c there's also Dennis Brown's youtu.be...
	5:54pm steveo: Will take a listen :)
	5:54pm paddy in matawan: What a day. Thanks Scott!
	5:55pm dale: not quite as epic as isaac hayes version, but still cool.
	5:55pm chris in the redwoods: and then Scott educates us. :)
	5:55pm Mick: Some Lineman! Thanks for the great and highly educational show Scott
	5:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: JC 0, Woof Moo Radio Crew 1 Thanks, Scott. Good luck with the wranglin'!
	5:56pm steveo: My letter shoulda been, "Shit man, I learn something every damn day."
	5:57pm steveo: Here comes a helicopter, Handy
	5:57pm radioronan: Thank you Scott..Scott as skeleton..
	5:57pm Bas NL: Thanks Scott! Learned a lot today!
	5:57pm tim from champaign (now washington): Thanks, Scott!
	5:58pm Handy Haversack: I'll apply my facial-rec-scrambling unguent, steveo!
	5:58pm chresti: Thanks Mr. Scott!
	5:58pm McGroovey: Wenatchee Lineman Hmmm that didn't quite work. Is there another town whose name would work better?
	5:58pm Handy Haversack: Actually, I hear it.
	5:59pm ?: Bonne nuit Scott & all Scotties
	5:59pm Scott Williams: Bye bye errybody!! Thanks and see you later

	3:03pm ami ad: Hello DJ. Hello all.
	3:04pm Ken From Hyde Park: Howdy, Scott. Thanks for helping us learn stuff!

	3:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: HBDs Townshend, GraceJones, JoeyRamone...
	3:11pm chris in the redwoods: hi, Scott and friends. that Claudette Et Ti Pierre track was wonderful.
	3:11pm Fox: A beautiful day to you alllllllllllllll
	3:13pm Richy4619: Greetings Scottelites
	3:13pm Phillippe: This is a great cut, Scott! Perfect for this beautiful weather!
	3:14pm joseloalter: It really is.... Happy Wednesday everyone.
	3:14pm xtrakrispy: What is that riff from, it’s driving my crazy!
	3:15pm xtrakrispy: Eno?
	3:15pm TDK60: Revrab63- I was just lookin' at a calendar with birthdates too: Ho Chi Minh, Malcolm X, and it's Buddha Day.
	3:15pm tim from champaign (now washington): No disrespect to Irwin but I hope we can keep Scott in this time slot.
	3:18pm chaos_in_la_la: Thanks for playing Jenny Mae. Do you know about Bela's book about her and Jerry Wick?
	3:18pm Handy Haversack: Word, tim!
	3:20pm McGroovey: I want the Jenny Mae record. Listening to the radio gets expensive.
	3:20pm Phillippe: I would like to venture the expression "Great Scott!" originated when time travelers heard this set and then went back in time with it echoing in their heads...
	3:20pm TDK60: Actually, it's not Buddha Day; outdated calendar. So sorry.
	3:21pm mrdonutsu: I was just thinking the other day how little airplay Spacemen 3 gets lately.
	3:21pm Scott Williams: Happy Day everyone! chaos_in_la_la, please tell more. Jenny Mae's got a sad sad story, but I don't know a lot.
	3:21pm chris in the redwoods: hard to disprove, Phillippe! i'm sure you're right.
	3:21pm The Oscar: Afternoon! I mentioned this in the comments for Ken's show, but I feel like I need to spread the news that JANDEK HAS WRITTEN A BOOK: corwoodindustries.com...
	3:22pm Handy Haversack: Math checks out, Phillippe.
	3:22pm ?: Bonne apres- midi Scott et les amateurs de belle musique
	3:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TDK60: Just talking about Malcolm w/ someone yesterday. Appears it is BuddhaDay : en.wikipedia.org... - apparently a Moveable Feast The legend has him indeed under the ♉︎Taurus ⦿Sun (sign of Forms) - & the ♏︎Scorpio Full ☽Moon opposite that (sign of Meaning)... or he was Enlightened under that configuration - or perhaps both. I hope to learn more about that...
	3:24pm chaos_in_la_la: Here's a link. Bela ran and runs Anyway Recordings. The title is from a song by Jerry Wick of the band Gaunt. Love, Death, and Photosynthesis. www.belakoe-krompecher.com...
	3:24pm ?: Scott sent U a Urban tax exemption review with nuances not sure my iPhone enabled departure.
	3:25pm Guido from Cologne: This singing steel guitar Pete Drake is so far out ...
	3:25pm WM: I love Spacemen 3 version of MC5's Black to Comm.
	3:26pm emilie s: Hey all, I keep missing the details during DJ mic breaks -- where are we supposed to send our emails with our thoughts about the educational services/benefits provided by the mighty WFMU?
	3:26pm Little Danny: Hi Scott, hi y'all.
	3:27pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Who has carrot cake?
	3:27pm TDK60: Rev: It /is/ Buddha day. So, my outdated calendar matched and the doublechecking I did online was wrong!
	3:27pm Guido from Cologne: One could say Kraftwerk robot voice aesthetics were pre-dated by Country records ...
	3:28pm Handy Haversack: @emilie: Pasting: The city of Jersey City has asked WFMU to prove that its programming has educational value, as a condition of keeping its tax exemption. This is a serious matter to the financial health of the station. As part of this effort, we're asking our listeners to provide letters or emails explaining how and why WFMU's programming has not just entertained them, but has also provided educational value. The educational value can be related to the history and relationship between culture or ideas, or more direct value such as information about any matters of public importance. Tell us how you have gained knowledge through the time you have spent listening to WFMU. This is a serious effort to address an important disagreement WFMU is having with the city of Jersey City. Whether you are an educator, a student or merely a student of life, please help us out with a thoughtful letter or email, and please keep them to 300 words. Letters should address the City of Jersey City, and can be emailed to helpus@wfmu.org by May 28th. Thank you for your help. Also, Ken said that putting it on letterhead from educational institutions would be super helpful and letters from teachers and educators in general.
	3:28pm tim from champaign (now washington): I just looked up Jenny Mae. The end of her life is sad. I wasn't aware of her. Last week I read "Hit So Hard" by Patty Schemel who was Hole's drummer. I can't handle Hole at all but something seemed compelling about the book. Patty's story of addiction is totally harrowing. I'm glad she made it. She seems very relatable plus has great musical tastes (other than Hole-hahaha).
	3:28pm Alvy Singer: helpus@wfmu.org by May 28th
	3:29pm Handy Haversack: Oh, Ken said that attaching the letter as a PDF to an e-mail, esp. with the prenomiate letterhead, is probably the most useful format.
	3:29pm emilie s: Thanks, Handy and Alvy!
	3:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TDK60: I wonder how the moveable feast date is derived - I will have to read about it. It is not the Full Moon now ! (It's a smidge past the Quarter Moon this moment.)
	3:30pm Phillippe: Rev Turnip Druid Baltimore Magazine says SugarBaker’s Cakes in Catonsville
	3:31pm Rev. Turnip Druid: 1971 strikes again!
	3:32pm Rev. Turnip Druid: thx Phillippe! I do need to get my source figured out, here!
	3:32pm Scott Williams: Every g-damn time, Rev!
	3:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Worthy of the Bonzos this.
	3:33pm sphere: Hey RTD, I live in Catonsville. And hello.
	3:34pm chaos_in_la_la: @timfromwashington: Bela's book is totally compelling, and not all gloom. It is an excellent account of many of the triumphs and pitfalls of love, music, and life. I love musician biographies and prolly never would've gone near Patty's, but will now keep an eye out.
	3:34pm Phillippe: How's the carrot cake, sphere? And when are you moving? And why the hell are you moving?
	3:35pm Handy Haversack: Do they even have carrot cake in northern VA, sphr?
	3:35pm sphere: I'm moving early next month. And I'm moving because my work is in NoVa and I don't want to drive 3-4 hours a day for a commute
	3:35pm Phillippe: It's parsnip cake down there, Handy
	3:36pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Catonsville, home of the magnificent Patel Brothers indian grocery... suddenly very hungry..
	3:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's in Autocarrot's rider, surely...
	3:36pm Phillippe: well, if your time is THAT valuable...
	3:36pm sphere: I could walk to Patel's :)
	3:37pm sphere: Kebab Hut is pretty damn good.
	3:37pm tim from champaign (now washington): @chaos - thanks for posting the link. I'm going to keep an eye out. Being a Michigan dude I have a strong connection to Ohio weirdos. I'd highly recommend Patty's book. Just ignore the misspelling of Gary Numan's name at the beginning and you'll be in for some good reading.
	3:37pm r-man: Whoa...Bobby Conn. Who knew? hot stuff
	3:37pm Bas NL: Hi Scott & good people!
	3:38pm Phillippe: Captain's Table still there?
	3:38pm Little Danny: Those were some Shooby-esque tones, Scott.
	3:38pm Rev. Turnip Druid: still got the day job in DC which means when we go back to office, it's the commuter train from b'more. Long time sittin' but it beats drivin' .. SW: BRING THAT KONG HEEBA HOOBA BACK HERE NOW
	3:39pm steveo: Volunteers!
	3:40pm Phillippe: RTD I'm trying top get every human I know to move to Annapolis. Straight shot on 50 to the New Carrollton metro
	3:40pm sphere: MARC is pretty good. totes agree, RTD.
	3:41pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Der Fuhrer's Face and that Broughton number. That's about it.
	3:41pm TDK60: I'm still a bit uneasy: only 37% of U.S.ians are fully vaccinated.
	3:42pm Jason from Houston: Buck Owens & Buddy Allan - Pfft You Were Gone LOL
	3:43pm McGroovey: Spike Jones is the raspberry king.
	3:43pm Handy Haversack: At least it's up to 60 percent of NYCians at partial, TDK60.
	3:43pm Rev. Turnip Druid: what TDK said. I'm fully vax'd but I still go nowhere and still do nothing. The bars here are crammed with people spewing their breathing & I hide here...
	3:43pm TDK60: Thanks, HH. NYC learned the hard way.
	3:43pm The Oscar: "Serenade to a Maid" by Teddy Powell and his Orchestra (1941) has some fantastic raspberries: www.youtube.com...
	3:45pm Rev. Turnip Druid: That Battiato LP 'fetus' is a permanent classic here
	3:47pm steveo: But if you're talking over it, then it's played under
	3:48pm Blinky: I would say most overplayed artists on WFMU: Thee Oh Sees, Cut Worms, Nico....
	3:48pm wizard frog: Aw, you can find almost every song that's ever been played on this station but not how many times - that would be interesting
	3:50pm Rev. Turnip Druid: KHLAM!
	3:51pm nathan: it's that one LEENALCHI song, isn't it
	3:51pm listener 126464: I Was Gonna Write You A Letter But Couldn't Spell (insert raspberry sound). Something like that, a Michael Shelley No. 1 Hit.
	3:51pm Handy Haversack: wizard frog, you can see how many playlist have a certain song. See wfmu.org...
	3:51pm Little Danny: I love this album!
	3:52pm ChukAmok: Don't get me started on MD Rte. 50 Phillipe! Also: Isn't the BWI rail station closer to 'Nap than New Carrollton?
	3:54pm steveo: Mr. Giant Man has been played 840 times in the playlist era. Can anyone beat that?
	3:54pm Bas NL: And -although a weekly staple- we definitely could do with more plays of Mr. Giant Man.
	3:55pm Little Danny: Thanks for that link, Handy. Cool way to explore who plays what.
	3:56pm wizard frog: @Handy hah yea was looking at that - I bet Kenzo has a special trick that can search by play amount
	3:56pm ChukAmok: That is an interesting feature Handy. Thanks!
	3:56pm DJ Guin: my new Pfizer chip implant allows 24/7 streaming of WFMU -- and makes the station tax exempt!
	3:58pm DJ Guin: <<yawns>> okay...time to punch the wife and kiss the clock....smell ya later, kids. gonna suck when I go back to the office in June
	3:58pm Yes: Enjoying piccolo. Hi all
	3:58pm McGroovey: Do people actually live in Maryland? I mean, I suppose they must, but I've never met anyone from Maryland, so I have no direct evidence. And I live in New Jersey.
	3:59pm McGroovey: This I Don't Want to Join a Cult song is very coverable.
	4:00pm Robert Tables: Eyyy Slim Pickens! Hi Scott!
	4:00pm DJ Guin: this song needs a .gif of Slim ridin' the Bomb
	4:01pm Little Danny: Yeah, it's surprising that there's no all-time top-ten song-plays ranking for WFMU, even if the various DJ soundbeds throw a bit of a wrench in the works. Such a rich bed of data at this point.
	4:01pm DJ Guin: www.youtube.com...
	4:02pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Annapolis is just down rt.2 from here, looks on the map like a potentially fun run on the moto. As for the MARC train to DC, i can walk to camden stadium from here, so that's my destiny, post-WFH...
	4:04pm Handy Haversack: Rev., Phillippe can offer premoistened water snakes, if that sweetens the deal!
	4:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The scene around DC - into Maryland & WestVA ? - famously where Rollins & DaveGrohl were from... StonerMetal & various things... What I always heard...
	4:05pm McGroovey: С той стороны зеркалного стекла - S Toy Storoni Zerkalnogo Stekla (Helping out the Russian search bots)
	4:06pm ChukAmok: @McGroovey D.C. born, Maryland raised. @Rev. I cannot express exactly how much I would love to see the O's at Camden again.
	4:07pm McGroovey: There's a new Tim Buckley live thing. I just got it in the mail but haven't listened yet. It's supposed to be great. "Merry-Go-Round at the Carousel", 1968
	4:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Frow Show featured a new Tim Track - from an Owsley archive!...
	4:08pm TDK60: Great to hear Tim. Parts of this song I think are also in the tune "Love from Room 109..." on "Happy Sad". I think..
	4:09pm ChukAmok: @RRN63 some great music has come out of the Del/Mar/Va region in my lifetime. Don't forget Universal Order of Armageddon, The Hated, and No Trend!
	4:10pm ChukAmok: Not to mention John Fahey, originally of Takoma Park, MD.
	4:10pm TDK60: ..or maybe the same melody? Sorry, been a while since I listened to Happy/Sad."
	4:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Tim is Definitive. DefiniTim... Yes there'll be the Appalachian element down there as well as urban Rawks & Funks...
	4:11pm sphere: RRN63: Rollins, Grohl, and MacKaye were from Arlington, VA, which is a close-in suburb of DC.
	4:13pm sphere: So was Mark Robinson of Teen Beat and the folks behind Simple Machines. It was very close-knit community and it felt like one big high school.
	4:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx sphere. Geology Rocks - but Geography is Where It's At. Edumacational & no mistake.
	4:13pm Rev. Turnip Druid: @ChukAmok -- The Hated, indeed. I had the good fortune to attend an ear-shattering house party at their shared place in columbia heights .. not super-clear on the living arrangements but i think they shared that rowhouse with christ on a crutch & sarcastic orgasm .. quite a scene
	4:13pm Handy Haversack: My favorite exchange in the movie The Green Room, because of its verisimilitude. Radio DJ: "I'm here with the DC punk band--" Guitar player [Maebe from Arrested Development]: "Actually, we're from Arlington!"
	4:14pm sphere: @ Handy: LOL! I missed that but I get it perfectly since I am from Rockville.
	4:15pm Little Danny: This is fantastic.
	4:15pm Handy Haversack: And the Makeup. And the Ignobles/Jonathan Fire*Eater. Both from DC, no?
	4:15pm sphere: Yes, THAT Rockville.
	4:15pm Handy Haversack: At least you're not going back, sphere!
	4:16pm TDK60: Swill Radio. Same outfit Anschluss was on. I still have a cassette.
	4:16pm sphere: Absolutely, Handy. The Make-Up were terrible live. (I know Handy, not going back, yeah.)
	4:16pm ChukAmok: @Rev. That is amazing. I was too young to know about things like that at the time, and when I did start to learn I still wasn't old enough to drive anywhere.
	4:16pm Rev. Turnip Druid: 4-year-old me was a Rockvillian as well. Fires every 2 weeks in that apartment building.
	4:16pm paddy in matawan: dat sax note doe
	4:17pm Jason from Houston: YESSSSSSSSS
	4:17pm Jason from Houston: ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎ ❤︎
	4:17pm ChukAmok: That was some beautiful Pickle Factory.
	4:17pm sphere: Ouch, I bet I know where you lived RTD. Those places were terrible.
	4:17pm Handy Haversack: I saw them in Providence once, and memory says it was a good show, but this is really mists-of-time stuff. Stewart of Jonathan Fire*Eater was my first-year college roommate. RIP, Stewart.
	4:18pm paddy in matawan: was jammin along with the synth on that last one while I shoulda been workin.
	4:18pm sphere: @ Handy - Well, your milage may vary. :)
	4:19pm sphere: *mileage
	4:20pm ChukAmok: Nation Of Ulysses was an arguably worse live band than the Make-Up would eventually become. Again: too young to see the former "in their time", but saw Make-Up plenty and it was hit or miss.
	4:21pm McGroovey: @TDK60 this new live thing I mentioned includes a Strange Feeling suite with part of Love From Room 109... Actually, it's ... Strange Feeling [7m34s]> Love From Room 109 [2m33s] > Sing a Song for You [2m32s> Merry-Go-Round [Fred Neil] > Strange Feeling (reprise) [10m58s]
	4:21pm Jason from Houston: I remember seeing The Make-Up and it being a good show. Same for Chain and the Gang. Many years apart. LOL
	4:21pm TDK60: Thanks McG.
	4:21pm efd: $mall ¢hange was indeed back live last week!
	4:21pm sphere: @ChukAmok - that is interesting because I think that 12-Point Plan To Destroy America is a pretty awesome album.
	4:22pm Jim the Poet: I feel like I'm learning a lot today
	4:22pm steveo: Woah @wfmu just tweeted that the tax office reversed their decision!!! twitter.com...
	4:22pm Rev. Turnip Druid: I preferred Ulysses before they became "Nation of" .. but my patience was very thin for most dischord stuff (sorry kids, never dug fugazi) .. Beefeater, though, was prob favorite live band from that label
	4:22pm sphere: WOOT
	4:23pm TDK60: !! YIKES !!
	4:23pm chris in the redwoods: sweet mother! democracy works!
	4:23pm McGroovey: I can look up what Aquarium album that is from
	4:23pm sphere: Yeah, RTD, I was uncomfortable in the DC scene because I just couldn't dig Dischord.
	4:24pm Marco Esquandolas: Awesome News!
	4:24pm Handy Haversack: WOO HOO! steveo, do they say whether it was because they knew I was going to write a devastatingly beautiful letter? Were they preemptively saving themselves the emotional stress?
	4:24pm McGroovey: Yes, it is Aquarium
	4:24pm Bas NL: Wow @steveo! That's GREAT NEWS!
	4:24pm steveo: Lol yep that's why handy
	4:24pm TDK60: I saw Beefeater, Rev TD. Outspoken. I had a cassette. (still have?)
	4:24pm Greg: "From the other side of the mirror glass"
	4:25pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Richmond had The Landlords, Baltimore-area had Black Market Baby, DC had Christ on a Crutch. That was my holy trinity of area HC, all non-dischord..
	4:25pm McGroovey: www.discogs.com...
	4:26pm Jason from Houston: Whoa! Congratulations, WFMU!
	4:26pm sphere: Christ On A Crutch is new to me. I'll look around.
	4:26pm TDK60: GOOD GOLLY!!
	4:26pm Greg: That's how one would translate Aquarium's song.
	4:26pm Rev. Turnip Druid: @sphere: the LP "crime pays when pigs die" ... can't go wrong
	4:26pm Handy Haversack: What about Bad Brains? Were they much part of the DC scene?
	4:26pm sphere: RTD, did you ever see Peach of Immortality?
	4:27pm Jason from Houston: Stay educational and exempt!
	4:27pm paddy in matawan: @steveo!! WOOOWOOO... I didn't even click send on my email yet!!
	4:27pm Little Danny: Unrest is still my fave D.C. band.
	4:27pm Little Danny: hell yeah FMU
	4:27pm Rev. Turnip Druid: @sphere: i saw their rivals New Carrollton quite a bit, & Jared's post-Peach solo project Furnace was great.
	4:28pm Alvy Singer: The best band from DC would have to be Bad Brains.
	4:28pm TDK60: There was Government Issue in DC. Fierce but kind of funny too-- their singer; John Stabb. RIP.
	4:28pm sphere: RTD, thanks. I didn't know about the early DC noise scene until I picked up a Peach of Immortality CD at a show.
	4:29pm McGroovey: It's on the album "Akustika". Discogs says it's 1981, but their release dates are clouded by the fact that they were basically all self-bootlegs until 1984 or so. www.discogs.com...
	4:29pm Greg: Technically, "Through the Looking Glass", and it appeared on an eponymous 1976 album. I know we've all moved on from the Aquarium's translation, but you asked, and I delivered... :)
	4:29pm TDK60: Scott, did you hear the news? JC tax dept. relented. Just-in, via some tweety thing!
	4:29pm steveo: I'm relieved, because I had one sentence written, and then I got stuck 😂
	4:29pm ChukAmok: Bad Brains in their day WAS the DC scene. Minor Threat was still scrappy Teen Idles when Bad Brains was first tearing it up.
	4:30pm sphere: Bad Brains were before my time but I believe they were as big as you might imagine. "Banned In DC" is based on real experience.
	4:30pm sphere: Is it reasonable to say that the Bad Brains invented hardcore?
	4:30pm Yes: This is nice !
	4:31pm McGroovey: And there were several versions of many songs, and there were underground fan-recorded audience tapes that were often as widely distributed as anything the band did the themselves. But that sounds like a studio recording, so with going to my record collection, I'll say it's the version from Akustika.
	4:32pm ChukAmok: Excellent news re: the tax decision reversal!! Guess I can delete this draft unconstructively calling the powers that be in JC "irredeemable, thankless money-grubbing bureaucrats drunk on their own lack of imagination".
	4:32pm Handy Haversack: Cool, thanks for the insights! steveo, I had edited letters for two other people but hadn't done mine yet -- just secured letterhead from work! Creamo did an excellent Battiato set yesterday. As is typical, I didn't even know him. Thanks, FMU -- tax threat or not, I'm still learning! sphere, could Death get partial credit? Though maybe it doesn't count if you go unheard ...
	4:32pm McGroovey: @Greg I prefer "From the other side of the looking glass" but the Russian implies either translation, ambiguously.
	4:32pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Sphere: There was a tiny but strong 80s experimental scene in DC but hardcore was competing for venues -- Was privileged to play the opening of the DC Arts Center in adams morgan back then but options were slim..
	4:35pm Greg: McGroovey, I let the sweet sound wash over me and didn't pay too much attention otherwise. I listened to them as a kid, but their prime was slightly before my time (i.e. before I was born). I translated "mirror glass," and then was like, what's a mirror glass?
	4:35pm ChukAmok: A lot of early Slumberland releases were in/around D.C.: Black Tambourine, Big Jesus Trash Can/Whorl, Velocity Girl, Lilys, etc. Late '80's/early '90's.
	4:35pm sphere: RTD, I think that theme resonated through the decades--always a few experimentalists and weirdos going their own way. Like TV John Langworthy. :)
	4:35pm TDK60: YAY for WFMU and its listeners! Wahoooo.
	4:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: PHEW. ...Had a good letter brewing tho'... A jam-mate told me my feedback heavy gittar style reminded him of Fugazi somehow ? I have never heard evidence of this - & when I inquire of the collective I get crickets...
	4:37pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Chuk: Whorl were OUTSTANDING live. Many gigs at DC Space (RIP, now a starbux)
	4:37pm sphere: RRN63, I never associate feedback with Fugazi save some of the tracks on Red Medicine (which was weird).
	4:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...been talk of a few station friends in high places... sphere Thx !
	4:38pm Alvy Singer: Worked with Minor Threat guitarist Lyle Preslar and DC Youth Brigade bassist Bert Queiroz at Caroline Records in the 90's. Easy going guys with lots of great stories about the DC Scene. You'll never meet a nicer person than Bert.
	4:39pm DJ Guin: just read about the whole tax thing -- here's my suggestion...still write the letters? and keep sending them? until Staysh or Clay complains. thoughts?
	4:39pm winston legthigh: yippee yappee and yahooooooey! congrats wfmu, crew, listeners, all contributors to this community which continues to amaze!
	4:39pm Handy Haversack: Did anyone have any experience with the spoken-word opera made from the interstitial conversating from the archive of Fugazi concerts?
	4:40pm sphere: I have a copy of Velocity Girl's first single signed by Archie back when he was working at Yesterday and Today :)
	4:41pm ChukAmok: I can imagine! I have their 7"s and cherish the Mind Revolution/Stupid Shit single (produced by Wharton Tiers!). Obviously it was before my time. I met Mike Schulman back in '01 and we found out that we went to the same school in Annapolis, only he was in HS and I was in kindergarten at the time.
	4:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DJ Guin - there's the Microsoft axiom that problems that go away by themselves can come back the same way... Let's let this sink in & see what Staysh et al say ? ?
	4:42pm dale: afternoon. enjoying the mix. i have no cool stories of the music biz. but i did give peter gabriel a ride in my amc hornet from a pancake house once.
	4:42pm ChukAmok: @Handy what is this "opera" you type of?
	4:42pm sphere: @ dale - was Gabriel a good sort?
	4:43pm ChukAmok: @Dale that qualifies as a cool story.
	4:44pm Alvy Singer: @Dale-Even cooler is that you owned an AMC Hornet.
	4:44pm paddy in matawan: peter gabriel eats pancakes?!
	4:44pm Handy Haversack: @ChukAmok: slipimprint.bandcamp.com... pitchfork.com...
	4:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & what of this association of the DC area & StonerMetal that lodged in my head somehow...
	4:45pm DJ Guin: Did he sing 'Pancakes' to the tune of Biko?
	4:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...pack yer flapjacks Dale's come to take you home...
	4:45pm ChukAmok: Gotta ramble on and hang some expensive painting in a fancy mansion. See y'all later! (Thanks Handy!)
	4:45pm TDK60: I forget, but probably found out about Battiato via WFMU.
	4:46pm joe mulligan: I found a whole thread on blowing a raspberry: forums.stevehoffman.tv...
	4:46pm Rev. Turnip Druid: @chuk - that Whorl single is classic. Schulman worked at Vinyl Ink in Silver Spring when I lived nearby & was a total class chap. Still have that Big Jesus Trash Can demo tape around here somewhere. SW: YAY for the Battiato set, grand stuff sir.
	4:47pm paddy in matawan: love a good fanfare
	4:47pm Alvy Singer: The Obsessed were from Potomac, MD. Those guys were on the Doom, Stoner Metal kick.
	4:47pm DJ Guin: no Karaoke Duet for Jacque the Minky?
	4:47pm dale: yeah, he was cool. it was 78 maybe? after the melty face album. saw him at the pancake house and asked for an autograph on a blank check and he checked off that the service was good. then said 'by the way mate, could you give us a lift back to out hotel?' (he was with a blonde woman). who would say no?
	4:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: joe nice work !
	4:48pm DJ Guin: you might've done the world a huge favor and backed the AMC Gremlin over Phil Collins...
	4:49pm paddy in matawan: More like Empty Collins then, no?
	4:50pm Rev. Turnip Druid: DC/MD also had Elegent Mess [sic], who was space-rock before space-rock was cool. Played a memorable on-air set at WMUC which left ears ringing..
	4:50pm joe mulligan: thanks @Rev, I kept looking for De Fuheres Face in The Producers soundtrack and Mel Brooks. finally found @Rev Turnip already mentioned it
	4:51pm dale: now, now. where would against all odds have been without that song?
	4:52pm winston legthigh: the sun is past the yardarm, thanks hh, later gang!
	4:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Phil just needs to be superglued to a drumstool & taxed @ a fair rate. There are worse people...
	4:54pm McGroovey: Man, there's almost as much information on the Steve Hoffman forums as on the WFMU comments boards.
	4:54pm Handy Haversack: Enjoy, winston!
	4:55pm Rev. Turnip Druid: I clearly must have the CLIC album now. This station is expensive. Thank you.
	4:55pm paddy in matawan: Easy Lover might be high up in my play counts though.
	4:56pm chris in the redwoods: grazie mille, Scott, for this fab Battiato tribute set. wowza.
	4:56pm paddy in matawan: this set owns
	4:58pm dale: apparently i clicky starred two battiato songs in a past life.
	5:06pm pgalub: Hey Scott and everyone! Great tribute! 🎶
	5:07pm Handy Haversack: Hey, pgalub! Really loving the set, Scott.
	5:07pm steveo: Yep digging this set a lot
	5:08pm paddy in matawan: Franco Battiato's 12 Golden Country Greats?
	5:08pm Scott Williams: Heya Pete, thanks man! Oh, hey, thanks Handy & Steveo, and thanks to you guys for volunteering these days!
	5:08pm Jaylefus: Thoroughly enjoyable set
	5:09pm Carmichael: My letter about the Old Codger being educational probably won them over.
	5:10pm dale: 50,000,000 franco battiato fans can't be wrong.
	5:10pm nathan: so, uh... any Eurovision fans in FMU land? final's on saturday. apparently Battiato represented Italy in '84 (Scott's fav year, i hear)
	5:11pm steveo: So glad to give back, Scott
	5:11pm pgalub: Yo Haaaaaaaandy! ;)
	5:11pm joseloalter: "we'll break the asphalt with colorful gardens" Grande Battiato
	5:12pm Handy Haversack: I sent you a note about Friday, Scott -- I think I can say "screw work" and come in for a few hours if you need hands.
	5:12pm McGroovey: 1975 (single-mic?) recording of a house concert with that song, Scott. It's the last song (@31:13). БГ (BG) is Борис Гребенщиков (Boris Grebenshchikov), the leader and main songwriter and vocalist of Aquarium www.youtube.com...
	5:13pm Dan: I have always loved battiato and can’t believe I’m hearing this on American radio. Thanks Scott.
	5:13pm Scott Williams: thanks @McGroovey, I knew you'd come thru! @Handy, gotcher email. will respond soon... @nathan, got some '84 in the cart!
	5:13pm McGroovey: Ah, actually, it says it's a home studio recording chez Яков Певзнер / Yakov Pevzner
	5:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 'break the asphalt with colorful gardens' - dig it.
	5:15pm McGroovey: But it's not the same recording as the one you played. I think the one you played is probably the one that's on Akustika.
	5:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Klaus Nomi's cisgen uncle...
	5:16pm McGroovey: Oh, hey, you can even read the lyrics online... www.planetaquarium.com...
	5:19pm McGroovey: Quicky Google translation if the lyrics (close enough for rock'n'roll): The last rain is almost no rain; See how easy it is to find peace in it. And if you believe that tomorrow will be a new day, Then it's quite easy .. Oh, only this night would not end; It seems to me that my home is no longer home. See how light it is for them - they play their life On the wall behind the glass. I think I recognize myself In that boy reading poetry; He squeezed the arrows with his hand so that this night does not end, And the blood flows from the hand. But it seems like it's just a game On the other side of the mirror glass; And here is dawn, but we have not lost anything: Today is the same day as yesterday.
	5:20pm McGroovey: I'd polish that translation up, but it's fun to admire the Googlebot's choices.
	5:21pm Carmichael: Yay, Donna tomorrow!
	5:21pm McGroovey: Woohoo!
	5:22pm steveo: Yay, Donna. Hope Fabio's back on his feet soon.
	5:22pm Ken From Hyde Park: Good news, everone!
	5:22pm Billy Jam: my DJ speaks - my DJ rules - but I can't tell when he is telling me the truth
	5:22pm nathan: yes!!!!!!
	5:22pm Scott67: YAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!
	5:23pm BH: whoooo were edukationale!
	5:23pm Aquebogue: YESSSSSSS!!!!!!
	5:23pm big rutig: Great news!
	5:23pm chresti: Yay!
	5:23pm emilie s: Letter draft deleted! And I'll officially stop talking trash about JC government now.
	5:24pm Alvy Singer: Excellent news Scott.
	5:25pm wizard frog: Wooohooo really really really such wonderful news
	5:25pm Barney Grubbs: Hurray! And I wrote a letter before I didn't need to!
	5:25pm Ivan from Woodbridge: Wonderful news! Was driving but pulled over to comment. Hallelujah!
	5:25pm Handy Haversack: And I can finally stop pretending that educating me is even a remote possibility for any force on the planet!
	5:25pm Rich in Bay Ridge: Wait. Was walking to the car and heard the tail end of “listeners did it again.” Did JC change its tune?
	5:25pm Ken From Hyde Park: That was good bed music for that piece of good news. Thanks to the folks who sent their letters in already. I was still in the "planning what to write" stage.
	5:25pm Rich in Bay Ridge: I’d advise to save those letters
	5:25pm Mick: That is most excellent news! Your announcement landed moments before I was slated to start writing my email. Bravissimi, everyone!
	5:26pm queems: GREAT NEWS!!
	5:27pm pgalub: Whoo hoo! I wonder if they heard the archive of the "Hide & Seek" episode of "The Fuzzy Glove Hour", and just ran away.
	5:28pm tim from champaign (now washington): Dambit! I was away for 90 minutes and I missed JC relented, an epic Frnaco Battiato et, a lively DC conversation and Billy Jam. I'm never working again!
	5:28pm nathan: @pgalub, i was just about to say... i have this sinking feeling that they might reverse the reversal after hearing Fuzzy Glove Hour
	5:28pm Little Danny: This reminds me a bit of the New Lines.
