	3:09pm Earth Walker: Fall Fail Fledge
	3:10pm brainiac: @Lixiviated: That's fine, but let us know before you start feeling Snow White, because we don't want you getting me too'd.
	🎸 ♥ 3:11pm brainiac: Who said that?
	3:11pm Crudbringer: I have put on my Failing Ears and am sitting quietly with my hands folded.
	♥ 3:12pm Listener Robert: Faked me out that "Giant Man" wasn't the Swedish version, but didn't include a piece of the previous Voodoo Party cut.
	3:12pm Dj screw: The Failure of Policing
	🎸 ♥ 3:13pm The old pooperoo: Fail Safe: we'll compensate you for the nuclear attack by blowing up New York and as a bonus we'll vandalize Boston.
	3:13pm Chop Scott: Sounding great Fabio!
	♥ 3:13pm spodiodi: greetings, Fabio howdy, failures
	🎸 ♥ 3:14pm Rev. Turnip Druid: violently approving of these vibes that are here.
	♥ 3:14pm JohnEBGood: Hi Fab and FMU family. : )
	🎸 ♥ 3:15pm Carmichael: Hi, I'm on the list. Carmichael, with a C. Can my girlfriend get in, too??
	♥ 3:15pm βrian: I see those covid outbreaks there, mapped on the studio wall.
	3:15pm Photocopy Cha Cha: @3:08 northguineahills: well I have heard all of one track from them (missed this, just tuned in) and should get to know'em better. Fonal records bandcamp page does help with this. What a good label
	🎸 ♥ 3:15pm chresti: Is there an espresso machine in the set up pictured?
	♥ 3:15pm Hubig Pie: Fail Safe was the inspiration for Dr. Strangelove, N'est pas ?
	3:16pm Crudbringer: That IS the espresso machine.
	🎸 ♥ 3:16pm brainiac: Who's up for a caption contest for today's accu-picture? Here's mine: "The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Listener"
	🎸 ♥ 3:16pm Carmichael: I believe that's Alan Parsons Sr.
	🎸 ♥ 3:17pm Bas NL: Terry Riley's glue music?
	🎸 ♥ 3:17pm Handy Haversack: I'll go with "I canalmost get WFMU!" brainiac. Hey, chresti! Good to see you! How was the return to work?
	🎸 ♥ 3:19pm duke: I like the photo of Fabio's home setup
	🎸 ♥ 3:19pm The old pooperoo: Not sure of the order of Fail Safe vs. Dr. Strangelove. I do prefer Dr. Strangelove greatly, though.
	♥ 3:20pm spodiodi: "Come in Skeleton Crew... I'm ready to go live"
	♥ 3:21pm northguineahills: Francis Bebey?
	3:21pm WM: @Hubig Pie: I think the inspiration for Dr. Strangelove was Red Alert by Peter George.
	🎸 ♥ 3:22pm Bas NL: I love the stereophonic arrangement of the P.A. speakers on top.
	🎸 ♥ 3:22pm The old pooperoo: Hey, they're horns...real audiophile gear!
	3:24pm David in London: Blimey, everyone’s here today - Handy, spodiodi, brainiac, Earth Walker, Carmichael, Rev, Bringer of Crud. The amusing thing for me is how my text auto fill now completes everyone’s name after the first letter. C is an exciting cliffhanger though, ‘Will he go C...a or will he go C...r...?’ (Or even C....o if Coelacanth is around).
	♥ 3:25pm Hubig Pie: WM, you are correct. Seems Fail Safe was a ripoff of both
	♥ 3:26pm spodiodi: hello there, David in autofillland
	♥ 3:27pm spodiodi: autofailure*land
	🎸 ♥ 3:27pm Bas NL: The radio addict's attic.
	♥ 3:27pm βrian: 63 F and rainy on the isthmus today. Tomorrow promises to be lovely.
	🎸 ♥ 3:27pm brainiac: Why, it's old W. A. "Doc" Tolson at his broadcast station 5XB, according to this: w5ac.tamu.edu...
	🎸 ♥ 3:28pm chresti: Hi Handy! Work was a bit hectic, lots of people asking questions, I walked around a lot, reminding players that they couldn't play doubles, had to pay online, couldn't hang out on the patio...had to kick people out who refused to pay online, etc. By the end of the shift, I'd sometimes loose it and tell them the whole operation would get shut down again if they refused to comply, etc. (that seemed to straighten them up)
	♥ 3:29pm Hubig Pie: He gonna need a double pole 50amp breaker to handle the load of all that radio equipment
	🎸 ♥ 3:29pm chresti: ^at the tennis courts in Griffith Park.
	🎸 ♥ 3:31pm brainiac: At the mere mention of a 50 amp fuse, I've got "You Can't Aways Get What You Want" stuck in my head.
	🎸 ♥ 3:32pm Handy Haversack: Oof, chresti, sounds stressful, but I guess that was to be expected. It was definitely odd not having you around all day! Mary Wing asked after you. Send rain, βrian! We need it!
	♥ 3:32pm spodiodi: you tell 'em, chresti (sheesh)
	3:33pm Malcolm: hello hello
	🎸 ♥ 3:33pm chresti: At least he has boots on, "Doc"
	3:33pm nick: Listening to STF on my birthday while working from home with my dog at my feet! This will be a good year!
	3:33pm David in London: Brainiac, I’ll go down to the Chelsea Drug Store to get your prescription filled.
	♥ 3:34pm βrian: @Handy: Your delivery should arrive tomorrow.
	🎸 ♥ 3:34pm Rev. Turnip Druid: BURPDAY.
	🎸 ♥ 3:34pm brainiac: Happy birthday, old nick!
	🎸 ♥ 3:34pm Bas NL: Happy Birthday Nick!
	3:34pm Earth Walker: Across the pond France
	♥ 3:35pm Hubig Pie: Kismet is always the right word. Happy Bday nick
	🎸 ♥ 3:35pm Handy Haversack: Happy birthday, nick!
	🎸 ♥ 3:36pm brainiac: David, thanks man. I'll take two as soon as you get back.
	🎸 ♥ 3:36pm chresti: Happy birthday, Nick!
	3:37pm WM: @Hubig Pie: Also I think Peter George tired to sue the author of Fail Safe for Plagiarism.
	🎸 ♥ 3:38pm Rev. Turnip Druid: funny. I only discovered FMU in '97, so apparently i got the good stuff.
	🎸 ♥ 3:38pm Mick: Happy birthday Nick! Many happy returns of the day
	3:39pm listener 100751: Long time listener (early 90s), you've always been great to listen to Fabio! That's why everyone keeps coming back
	3:39pm Photocopy Cha Cha: @3:38 Rev. Turnip Druid: well I became a regular listener around 2017 so I might have missed a lot.
	♥ 3:40pm Hubig Pie: Ma'a salaama you failures. Off to ride me bicycle
	3:40pm nick: Awe shucks, thanks everybody!
	3:40pm Photocopy Cha Cha: @3:33 nick: having your dog at your feet makes anyone a happy birthday boy/girl/other - have a happy one!
	🎸 ♥ 3:41pm chresti: Safe travels, Hubig, watch for crazy drivers!
	♥ 3:42pm Hubig Pie: Chresti, we have a lovely bike path fashioned from an old railroad bed, so it's a no brainer
	🎸 ♥ 3:43pm chresti: Ah, good.
	🎸 ♥ 3:43pm brainiac: Don't forget to wear your brain bucket, Hubig, lest you come back sans brain.
	🎸 ♥ 3:44pm Rev. Turnip Druid: I was living in tucson in '97 and there was a list going around of all these radio stations around the world with "webcasts" -- it was quite an exotic thing, I guess. I was digging into all these obscure north African stations & in the middle of the list was FMU...
	♥ 3:44pm geo in jc: Hey Fabio. I enjoyed soldiering through many of those late 80’s shows. Still listening.
	🎸 ♥ 3:44pm chresti: You can make him a new one, right? @brainiac
	♥ 3:45pm Hubig Pie: Brain bucket is de rigueur, part of the uniform
	🎸 ♥ 3:45pm brainiac: I've only got part of one left. It's labeled Abby something.
	♥ 3:46pm common: good zoundz to draw to. thank you, fabio
	♥ 3:47pm bk845: Some of these sounds are kind of painful...The crystal vase near my desk just shattered!
	🎸 ♥ 3:48pm chresti: Fabio's and Blumin's shows, are my favorite shows to draw/paint to.
	🎸 ♥ 3:50pm Handy Haversack: L8r, Hubig!
	3:50pm Megadano: My entire career has been while listening to WFMU. its kind of funny when I consider it.
	♥ 3:51pm happymaan: Just made this episode a favorite, thanks Fabio.
	♥ 3:52pm βrian: We've actually been avoiding the bike path lately. Too damn much traffic.
	🎸 ♥ 3:52pm slugluv1313: greetings, Fabio and everyone! grateful to be here with you all :) Happy Birthday Nick!
	3:52pm David in London: STF was my gateway to FMU when I first heard it on a visit to NYC in 1996. It was aggravating not being able to listen to it back in England. I was so excited when the download podcast era started. Still got plenty of episodes from the Noughties on my old and thankfully still functional iPod.
	3:53pm Crudbringer: I was listening in the late-90s/early aughts, turned on by my friend that moved to BK. Then I fell away for a while. Music of Mind Control is really what brought me back, and now I'm hear for all of it.
	🎸 ♥ 3:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: Greetings, Fabio and giant people. For those about to fail, we salute you!
	🎸 ♥ 3:58pm brainiac: I'll give up my iPod when they pry it from my cold, dead hand. 1984 was the year I was introduced to FMU.
	🎸 ♥ 3:59pm Rev. Turnip Druid: For me the icebreaker was Tony Coulter when I discovered it; the time-zone thing worked out perfectly in AZ. I remember being fascinated by his back-announcing happening over a bed of (i think) the sound of light traffic. Ambient car noises. And that was Ten Million Years Ago. Weird.
	4:03pm Fragonard: Fabio, you should chAnge the name of your show to The Best Show Ever
	4:03pm Megadano: In college (90s) when I was home for the holidays, I would record FMU on as many cassettes as I could. then in my college town a venue had a door man from nyc who loved FMU and i wouldn't have to pay a cover if i gave him cassettes of FMU. haha.
	🎸 ♥ 4:05pm Handy Haversack: We listened in college 1993-1997. FMU, FDU, BAI. Then I left town for a while. It was in our regular radio rotation then for years after like 2005 but only the past three years did I process what the internet had meant for it. They never did breed Haversacks for their smarts.
	4:06pm JakeGould: Here are some resources Mayuko posted at one point if anyone needs them: Mental Health: 1-866-202-4357 Family Helpline: 1-800-843-5437 Suicide Prevention: 1-855-654-7635 Domestic Violence: 1-800-572-7233 TransLifeline: 1-877-565-8860 (US/Canada) In New York City, contact NYC Well at 1-888-NYC-Well or text “Well” to 65173 or visit nycwell.cityofnewyork.us
	🎸 ♥ 4:06pm mrdonutsu: My time keeps getting sliced!
	♥ 4:07pm spodiodi: Irwin, Strength Through Failure w/ Fabio, Diane's Kamikaze Fun Machine, and Three Chord Monte with Joe Belock were big draws for me
	🎸 ♥ 4:09pm jmr3: I think I heard WFMU driving through NJ from Vermont to FL. Heard someone cutting up moon mission audio with some of the argument scenes from 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?' Later, 97? 98? I discovered Fabio, Kenny G, and Diane Kamikaze online and surreptitiously listened at work. Sometimes I'd record through my RealPlayer at home and connect my mp3 player to the cassette adapter in my car.
	4:10pm JakeGould: Also, the Brooklyn Museum is partnering with The Campaign Against Hunger to do food distribution at (in front?) of the museum. More details here: patch.com... And here: www.tcahnyc.org
	🎸 ♥ 4:12pm brainiac: No matter how long you're away, this station is always there, ready to welcome you back and slip a hand into your pocket...
	♥ 4:12pm βrian: Say, is that a pickle?
	4:12pm Jeezuseffinchrist: @brainiac xD
	🎸 ♥ 4:13pm brainiac: I'm happy to see you
	4:13pm Jeezuseffinchrist: <3
	4:15pm Earth Walker: I remember listening to KFOG in San Francisco 80s early 90s
	♥ 4:15pm Fabio: Happy Birthday Nick!!
	4:15pm David in London: I’d always assumed that there was a giant Colossus of Rhodes type statue of Fabio at the entry into Jersey City.
	♥ 4:16pm spodiodi: lol DiL
	♥ 4:16pm spodiodi: nice image
	4:16pm Earth Walker: Hi David !
	🎸 ♥ 4:17pm Handy Haversack: David, through a hilarious, disturbing, and deeply artistic series of accidents, it's actually on the Isle of Jersey.
	🎸 ♥ 4:17pm slugluv1313: first started listening in 1977 -- my first year in college and ever since, WFMU has been this amazing presence/anchor in my life, but especially now, when, at best, we are all isolated (& i am hardly this social, extroverted person!) and at worst, stuck in dangerous situations (when the "shelter in place" protocols first hit, my first thoughts went to those in abusive situations, homeless people, those in jails, group homes, etc.) . . . again, grateful for this oasis of sanity in insane, unsure times . . .
	4:17pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: No this I like
	4:18pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: Now
	♥ 4:18pm Jim the Poet: Hey Fabio great show. This is amazing.
	🎸 ♥ 4:18pm Heavy Chevy: @JakeG thanks for the heads up!! Just shared the broklyn museum link with the local BK mutual aid
	4:19pm David in London: Handy, Jersey in the Channel Islands? Wow, I must head down there and see it as soon as possible.
	🎸 ♥ 4:20pm Bas NL: Hi @slugluv!
	4:22pm Hex Fam Sam: Terrified and loving it!
	🎸 ♥ 4:24pm Handy Haversack: Remarkably good yard-work music.
	♥ 4:25pm northguineahills: @David: Billy Jam from WFMU's Put the Needle on the record did two remote broadcasts from the Balliwiick of Jersey (Jersey City to Jersey)>
	4:26pm JakeGould: @HeavyChevy: Happy to help!
	🎸 ♥ 4:27pm brainiac: @David: While you're there be sure to order the pesca alla Fabio. It's Dover sole with in a delicate bolognese they somehow get to stand upright on the plate.
	🎸 4:27pm Ike: If a DJ's Internet Ain't Legit, the Station Manager Must Acquit (the Idea of Pre-Recording a Show a Few Hours in Advance During a Pandemic) (and Stop Being Stubborn)
	4:30pm David in London: Northguinea, brainiac - thanks for the steer. This is shaping up to be quite some trip to (old) Jersey. Brainiac, I’ll bring some back for you in a doggy bag. Or probably a fishy bag.
	🎸 ♥ 4:31pm mrdonutsu: I'm back at the beginning. Then I'm not. It's so cool!
	♥ 4:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hey Kidz!
	🎸 ♥ 4:33pm slugluv1313: hi, Bas NL!
	🎸 ♥ 4:33pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: chresti, I grew up going to Griffith Park. I'm glad you're open but sounds stressful for you. agree about this and Blumin's shows good to draw to.
	🎸 ♥ 4:33pm mrdonutsu: Bye by Mob. Back at the beginning again!
	🎸 ♥ 4:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: Daisy, Ruth, Darren, Carol and Jim the Poet are among the skeletoid situation. The list is growing over time.
	🎸 ♥ 4:34pm dale: hey fabs - that organ interlude made me think you were about to play some kansas.
	♥ 4:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Geez I wish I remembered when & what my onramp to FMU wuz. I kinda remember someone deconstructing the Xmas Story around the Holidays...Being an Introvert I don't signpost external happenings too good...
	♥ 4:36pm ParUbi: Hey everyone, just tuning in
	♥ 4:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...deffo life Before FMU Era & After - otoh - no Time in the Unconscious as Chuck Jung said...
	4:37pm WM: Fabio: Would you please list the new free movie sites you discovered on the comments board?
	🎸 ♥ 4:38pm brainiac: Carry On My Wayward Fab
	4:38pm David in London: Hey ParUbi.
	♥ 4:38pm coelacanth∅: greetings Fabio and Failures
	♥ 4:39pm Stanley: Checking in. Hello Fabio and everyone
	♥ 4:39pm Woo: I found out about FMU by reading about Irwin and Jandek and things of that nature.
	🎸 ♥ 4:40pm dale: dusty show in the wind used to follow up here....
	🎸 ♥ 4:40pm Rev. Turnip Druid: fat freddy scat!
	♥ 4:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wonder if there's a way to look up my earliest comment...
	♥ 4:41pm Stanley: Has anyone seen Commander Cockroach?
	♥ 4:41pm spodiodi: revrabbit, parubi, coelacanth, stanley
	♥ 4:42pm Stanley: spodi-o
	4:43pm Zetti: Thanks Fabio!
	♥ 4:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: spodi ! ...your 'tar looks a little like what I was seeing behind my eyelids this morning - hoping I wasn't having a CovidStroke...
	🎸 ♥ 4:43pm chresti: I learned of WFMU from Shirley and Spinoza internet radio, he plays a lot of People Like Us from the wfmu archives.
	4:45pm David in London: Yo Stanley and Coela. (See my comment earlier about auto fill names).
	🎸 ♥ 4:45pm Bas NL: I was just looking at the sunset here.. i have never seen such a clear sky.
	4:45pm greatb: hi Fabio and all... always down for the Terry Riley interludes...
	🎸 ♥ 4:46pm chresti: I only recently discovered the playlist/comments board when I switched to listening via the website, after losing itunes radio.
	♥ 4:46pm Stanley: Hi David. Keeping warm, I hope.
	🎸 ♥ 4:46pm brainiac: @chresti: I was heavily into Shirley and Spinoza. Their iTunes internet stream seems to have just gone down earlier this year.
	♥ 4:47pm ParUbi: I was googling for radio stations that played :zoviet*france:
	♥ 4:47pm northguineahills: thanks for the stream recomendations, Fabio...
	♥ 4:48pm coelacanth∅: hey spodi, Stanley, David... . .
	🎸 ♥ 4:48pm chresti: @brainiac, yeah, I think you can get it via Tune In, maybe, or go to the website.
	♥ 4:48pm northguineahills: I read about wfmu (in the Wire?), in 1998, and late at night at work (I was still an undergrad), I used the office's untapped bandwidth to listen to WFMU's tinny stream...
	🎸 ♥ 4:49pm Bas NL: I discovered WFMU through live365. In the first days the number of recommended stations raised to some 5000. After a month of listening live365 got to know me. One (1) suggestion remained: WFMU. Bless their algorithm.
	♥ 4:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Someone had mentioned FMU to me before I streamed it - saying 'this station plays some pretty good stuff sometimes'...rather than: This fecking thing is wunna the best damned things EVER & will be a cultural cornerstone for your pathetic backside...
	4:51pm David in London: ParUbi, that must have been Joe Belock then. Zoviet France have a good steady beat for dancing, after all...
	🎸 ♥ 4:51pm Handy Haversack: We'll allow that algorithm, Bas! And hi! Hey, ParUbi.
	♥ 4:52pm ParUbi: They do have a good dance beat, especially if you like dancing while lying on the floor
	4:54pm Malcolm: First got hooked around 2011. WFMU was my companion to writing my PhD in the british library. I'm a newbie i guess!
	🎸 ♥ 4:54pm brainiac: @chresti: Yeah, you were right! Got S&S back. Thanks a lot!
	🎸 ♥ 4:55pm chresti: S&s plays a lot of Soviet stuff, he's in China, Yunnan Province. Yay@brainiac
	🎸 ♥ 4:55pm Rev. Turnip Druid: AH, i remember now. That list of global "webcasts" was from someone at MIT; it had about three dozen stations at the time. FMU was by far the greatest discovery therein..
	♥ 4:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I think Riley had Bose headphones in mind...
	4:56pm greatb: FMU is all of my favorite radio stations :)
	♥ 4:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: + Nice greatb ! +
	♥ 5:00pm Stanley: 10pm here. Time for a whisky.
	♥ 5:00pm ParUbi: Well, I like the original (Baruch) Spinoza, so I should totally try out Shirley and Spinoza! Will look into it...
	🎸 5:00pm Ike: Dave Mandl, FM airwaves, Saturday early afternoons, circa late 1993-94.
	🎸 ♥ 5:01pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Shirley & Spinoza was another great one. That link used to be on the old iTunes radio list, but thought it must have died a while back?
	🎸 ♥ 5:01pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ah, missed Braniac's comment earlier. Yes. That.
	🎸 ♥ 5:02pm brainiac: Here ya go, Rev: s2.radio.co...
	🎸 ♥ 5:02pm Bas NL: @Stanley: What's yours tonight? I'm splashing out on a slow Laphroaig 17 years..
	🎸 ♥ 5:04pm Handy Haversack: Just opened some cold wine. It's muggy out there.
	♥ 5:04pm Stanley: @Bas - Ben Riach 12 yo sherry cask. You like a bit of the ol' smoke then?
	♥ 5:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 1,906 stream on my iTunes playlist (current or otherwise) ...1,907 - Cheers !
	🎸 ♥ 5:06pm Bas NL: Oww! Never had Ben Riach. And yes, it's mostly peaty heaven in my cupboard. ;)
	5:06pm JakeGould: “Wild Girl” and the “Hour of Slack” for me between 1992 and 1995.
	🎸 ♥ 5:07pm Handy Haversack: BTW: Stanley, I spent the past two days prepping a manuscript for editing -- it's about the search for terroir in whisk(e)y. Will make sure you know the relevant details when it's out. There's a guide to setting up flights for tasting as an appendix! My friend in Edinburgh is going to edit it, and I'm supervising the production -- I did not write it, to be clear.
	♥ 5:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& I generally stream FMU or listen to Podcasts...
	🎸 ♥ 5:07pm brainiac: oops, didn't see you up there ParUbi. Enjoy that stream in good health.
	♥ 5:08pm Stanley: Handy that sound very interesting. Are you the author?
	🎸 ♥ 5:08pm TDK60: Hello. Just back from a rare walk.
	🎸 ♥ 5:09pm Handy Haversack: Heh, no, Stanley. Merely a cog in the machine.
	5:09pm watchpocket: "The Minotaur" was what Keith Emerson ripped off for "Lucky Man." (Though not sure if it's coming from Fabio HQ or station HQ. The signal dropouts today are VERY unusual for STF. Don't complain folks, the show's very text and subtext is . . . FAILURE. STRENGTH WILL ULTIMATELY COME OF IT.
	♥ 5:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thot it very Keith yeah.
	🎸 5:11pm Ike: Hey board op, which Terry Riley piece were you using there earlier?
	♥ 5:13pm Matt Warwick: @Ike a Rainbow in Curved air
	5:14pm Itzall Hear: watchpocket, that's very well put, and I agree that it IS very unusual for this show to drop so often. I thought maybe it was on my end, you've confirmed that it is not.
	🎸 ♥ 5:14pm TDK60: Matt, I loaned a fella my Rainbow in Curved Air album once. I had to go to his place to get it back. He asked if I'd sell it. Nope.
	♥ 5:15pm Stanley: Handy - Terroir is a big thing for whisk(e)y. I recently came accross a single malt from a distillery in Goa, India. A bottle was retailing for £300+. I wonder what the author would think of that 'terroir'. I would love to hear more about it.
	♥ 5:16pm Matt Warwick: Going to run to the library to get some JAZZ
	🎸 ♥ 5:17pm Handy Haversack: Stanley, I'll send you my e-mail address through your profile and fill you in! Hey, TDK60.
	♥ 5:18pm Stanley: Thanks
	🎸 5:19pm Ike: Thanks!
	♥ 5:19pm ParUbi: I've heard about that Jazz music. How could they just make up all those notes? Sounds exhausting!
	5:19pm WM: Thanks for the Globe Unity Orchestra - probably the best of the free jazz inspired European groups.
	🎸 ♥ 5:20pm TDK60: Hey Handy. You're an editor?
	5:20pm watchpocket: Raise a glass to board op Matt since we can't always tell when the dropouts occur. It's like a dream sequence, or a good mash-up mix. Now you see Fabio, now you don't, & here he is again.
	5:21pm Itzall Hear: @ParUbi- it's not hard when you are an EXPERT. It's ALL they do, all the time. Seems impossible but true.
	🎸 ♥ 5:21pm chris: came in to say what watchpocket just said. and saw whisky terroir being discussed.. oooooo. i would guess a whisky terroir would be about grains, water and yeast. am i wrong?
	🎸 ♥ 5:22pm Handy Haversack: @watchpocket: yeah! Well said. Fabio, Matt, happy to be here to fail alongside such excellent people. No place else I'd rather be! @TDK60: Yup. In scholarly publishing.
	🎸 ♥ 5:22pm Bas NL: I had an Amrut Indian whisky recently on a tasting.. It was really good! They age quickly in the heat, so with only 3-4 years they taste very mature.
	🎸 ♥ 5:22pm Ken From Hyde Park: Failure is a many-splendo(ü)red thing.
	🎸 ♥ 5:24pm Handy Haversack: @chris: seems like grain especially, but one article cited had an awesome title. Something like "You Think You're 'Craft'? Make Your Own Yeast!"!
	5:25pm egould310: Sounds like he’s giving that saxophone “eagle-bird kisses”.
	🎸 ♥ 5:26pm chris: thanks, Handy. first mash i did here at the homestead began fermenting before i even added yeast. both, yikes! and hmm, cool! didn't taste great distilled, though. such is the outcome for new distillers.
	♥ 5:27pm Stanley: @Bas - interesting. the bottle I saw was only a 5 yo and I thought, not enough time. But would love to try. @chris - it's a bit more than that. For instance I've got my eyes on a bottle of Old Pulteney. The distillery is right on the coast and, not surprisingly, the sea air imparts a feint salty flavour to the spirit.
	🎸 ♥ 5:28pm Handy Haversack: Any bathtub you can walk away from, chris! I miss brewing beer a lot. We were toying with the idea of distilling when my buddy who had the apartment where such things could be possible moved away.
	🎸 ♥ 5:29pm chresti: @Handy, I used to do paste-up for a scholarly publication, in the early 80s.
	🎸 ♥ 5:30pm chris: nice, Stanley! so much fun (and expense) to the whisky experience. indeed, Handy. running the still scared the hell out of everyone who wasn't involved, so the project came to a close. sad face.
	♥ 5:30pm Stanley: chris - a man has to have a hobby.
	🎸 ♥ 5:30pm Rev. Turnip Druid: SUPERCRAP.
	5:31pm WM: Thanks for the free jazz oriented set.
	🎸 ♥ 5:31pm TDK60: Chresti, you used to do pasteup. Me too, on fliers and a community paper.
	♥ 5:31pm PMD: 'below' is all relative. Look at the world upside down!
	🎸 ♥ 5:32pm Handy Haversack: @chresti: paste-up! Excellent. Not a lot of book designers still know the term, I think!
	5:33pm David in London: A few years back my missus bought me a ‘whisky weekend’ at the London Whisky School for my birthday. Although getting the first dram down at 10am was a challenge, it was a truly great weekend. As part of it, we had to blend and devise a marketing campaign for our own whisky. We made The GlenHackney’ and it went down very well with the class. Sadly, being a small batch run it has long since sold out. I still have an empty bottle or two though...
	♥ 5:34pm Stanley: Haha that's a great story, David.
	♥ 5:34pm spodiodi: yeah, cheers, David -- to your missus
	🎸 ♥ 5:35pm chris: she's a keeper, David! i'd really enjoy that, too.
	🎸 ♥ 5:35pm Handy Haversack: That's awesome, David!. Ha! I realized that this blind spot in my ice box is actually a now-like seven-year-old champagne bottle of imperial stout we brewed. I think Kate and I might finally see how it's held up.
	🎸 ♥ 5:35pm brainiac: My first job in Brooklyn was paste-up for a community paper. My boss was a rageaholic and threw a tape dispenser through a light table. I quit soon thereafter.
	5:35pm bLeubomberune b: Bonjour Fábio, late arriving, took wrong wormhole to your galaxy
	5:36pm Itzall Hear: brainiac, good move! You may have been his NEXT target.
	5:36pm ignatatus666: 2 versions?
	🎸 ♥ 5:37pm brainiac: Those tape dispensers were heavy!
	🎸 ♥ 5:37pm Threemoons: Loving this...
	5:37pm WM: I'm a bit disappointed, Fabio... I think Skypilot is one of the worst songs I've ever heard. But I'll keep tuning in...
	5:38pm Itzall Hear: I'm really enjoying the ramshackle aspect of today's program, but does it seem like this "Sorry...no playlist" guy is really hogging the show?!?
	5:39pm WM: ... after all, you did just play a set containing Ornette Coleman, Noah Howard and Byard Lancaster.
	5:39pm David in London: Brainiac, he sounds like Chris Morris as Denholm Reynholm in The IT Crowd.
	♥ 5:40pm Stanley: @Bas - I visited the Laphroaig distillery a few years back and the 'gimmick' they had was if you bought a bottle at the end of the tour you got a certificate granting you (apparantly legal) ownerhip of one square foot of peat bog on the island, complete with map to indicate where it was situated. The deal was that the distillery rented it back from you and would pay one dram a year for this. Only thing was that you had to turn up in person to collect your annual 'rent'.
	🎸 ♥ 5:40pm Ken From Hyde Park: A "State of the Station" presentation coming up?
	🎸 ♥ 5:40pm Bas NL: The interwebs is riddled with riddles today. I blame binge viewing.
	🎸 ♥ 5:41pm brainiac: Heh, @David: just tried to get Mrs. brainiac interested in the IT Crowd. The attempt failed mightily.
	🎸 ♥ 5:41pm TDK60: It's all a cosmic web of sound vibrations anyway, eh? Something like that?
	5:41pm sydnius: Eine Kleine Hallogallo
	♥ 5:42pm coelacanth∅: smooth reemergence of vocokesh...i wouldn't have guessed you could do that, between the Fabio source and the studio source
	🎸 ♥ 5:42pm Handy Haversack: David: WORTH IT. If you ever get the chance to watch the movie at the Ben Nevis distillery, do it. Angel trumpets and devil trombones and giants making whisky. You are invited!
	🎸 ♥ 5:43pm Heavy Chevy: ngl - this is challenging listening
	5:43pm David in London: Brainiac - Has she seen the ‘team, team, team’ skit? Surely that must convert her. Mrs DiL and I quote that almost every day.
	♥ 5:43pm coelacanth∅: back to neu! what the hell is going on?!
	🎸 ♥ 5:43pm Bas NL: @Stanley: True! I gathered several square feet already.. still have to collect the drams though. ;)
	5:44pm David in London: Handy, I wish I still had a bottle I could send you.
	♥ 5:45pm Stanley: Nice one Bas! If you do get over make sure you pass through Edinburgh and let me know
	♥ 5:45pm coelacanth∅: (...or can, rather)
	🎸 ♥ 5:46pm brainiac: @David: I'll give it a shot. We quote a lot of Princess Bride around here. Different sensibilities...
	🎸 ♥ 5:46pm Bas NL: Will do! I'd love to visit Edinburgh!
	🎸 ♥ 5:48pm Handy Haversack: Bas, maybe they give you credit for accrual and you can collect all the drams at once! We're a Withnail and I / Big Lebowski household.
	5:49pm David in London: Right, I’m out of here. Thanks for a great show Fabio of Rhodes, and see all you kool kats later.
	🎸 ♥ 5:50pm brainiac: I just inflicted Withnail and I on her 2 or 3 months ago. At least she made it to the end. Bye David!
	🎸 ♥ 5:50pm Bas NL: I've always had the vision of leap-frogging my patches on the Laphroaig grounds.. and downing a dram before each leap.
	♥ 5:50pm Stanley: Good night David, Fare thee well.
	🎸 ♥ 5:50pm Handy Haversack: Night, David!
	♥ 5:52pm coelacanth∅: tchau David
	🎸 ♥ 5:53pm Bas NL: The charm of A/B listening great songs.
	🎸 ♥ 5:53pm Handy Haversack: Fabio, Matt, this tag-team might have been frustrating at your end. But I (and I think a bunch of other folx) have been enjoying the ride. Surprises are good -- and ambiguity is richness. Thanks for the effort! Strength! Loads of fun, everyone.
	🎸 ♥ 5:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Just one 100-foot ethernet cable away from failure. Thanks, Fabio + Matt.
	5:55pm bLeubomberune b: Bonsoir Fábio,excellent music selection. Back 2 the hole in ground
	🎸 ♥ 5:56pm Bas NL: Fantastic show! Thanks for all the dedication Fabio and Matt!
	♥ 5:56pm Stanley: Me too. Enjoyed the "texture" of tonight's show. Good night all
	♥ 5:56pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Fabio, Matt and crew
	♥ 5:56pm spodiodi: thanks, Fabio! thanks, Matt! adios, all!
	🎸 ♥ 5:56pm TDK60: Fabio & Matt, see you next chance...
	🎸 ♥ 5:56pm dale: thought that was bob seger when it started out.
	🎸 ♥ 5:57pm chresti: Thanks, Fabio, Matt, enjoyment was had, top to bottom!
	6:00pm ?: Play more Vocokesh next week
	♥ 6:00pm PMD: Sounds so sad
	🎸 ♥ 6:00pm dale: time for a cocktail fabs - you earned it.
	6:00pm ultradamno: Or F/i
	6:02pm ?: ultradamno knows what's up.

	♥ 3:08pm northguineahills: I haven't heard Shogun Kunitoki in ages.
	3:09pm Earth Walker: Fall Fail Fledge
	3:10pm brainiac: @Lixiviated: That's fine, but let us know before you start feeling Snow White, because we don't want you getting me too'd.
	🎸 ♥ 3:11pm brainiac: Who said that?
	3:11pm Crudbringer: I have put on my Failing Ears and am sitting quietly with my hands folded.
	♥ 3:12pm Listener Robert: Faked me out that "Giant Man" wasn't the Swedish version, but didn't include a piece of the previous Voodoo Party cut.
	3:12pm Dj screw: The Failure of Policing
	🎸 ♥ 3:13pm The old pooperoo: Fail Safe: we'll compensate you for the nuclear attack by blowing up New York and as a bonus we'll vandalize Boston.
	3:13pm Chop Scott: Sounding great Fabio!
	♥ 3:13pm spodiodi: greetings, Fabio howdy, failures
	🎸 ♥ 3:14pm Rev. Turnip Druid: violently approving of these vibes that are here.
	♥ 3:14pm JohnEBGood: Hi Fab and FMU family. : )
	🎸 ♥ 3:15pm Carmichael: Hi, I'm on the list. Carmichael, with a C. Can my girlfriend get in, too??
	♥ 3:15pm βrian: I see those covid outbreaks there, mapped on the studio wall.
	3:15pm Photocopy Cha Cha: @3:08 northguineahills: well I have heard all of one track from them (missed this, just tuned in) and should get to know'em better. Fonal records bandcamp page does help with this. What a good label
	🎸 ♥ 3:15pm chresti: Is there an espresso machine in the set up pictured?
	♥ 3:15pm Hubig Pie: Fail Safe was the inspiration for Dr. Strangelove, N'est pas ?
	3:16pm Crudbringer: That IS the espresso machine.
	🎸 ♥ 3:16pm brainiac: Who's up for a caption contest for today's accu-picture? Here's mine: "The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Listener"
	🎸 ♥ 3:16pm Carmichael: I believe that's Alan Parsons Sr.
	🎸 ♥ 3:17pm Bas NL: Terry Riley's glue music?
	🎸 ♥ 3:17pm Handy Haversack: I'll go with "I canalmost get WFMU!" brainiac. Hey, chresti! Good to see you! How was the return to work?
	🎸 ♥ 3:19pm duke: I like the photo of Fabio's home setup
	🎸 ♥ 3:19pm The old pooperoo: Not sure of the order of Fail Safe vs. Dr. Strangelove. I do prefer Dr. Strangelove greatly, though.
	♥ 3:20pm spodiodi: "Come in Skeleton Crew... I'm ready to go live"
	♥ 3:21pm northguineahills: Francis Bebey?
	3:21pm WM: @Hubig Pie: I think the inspiration for Dr. Strangelove was Red Alert by Peter George.
	🎸 ♥ 3:22pm Bas NL: I love the stereophonic arrangement of the P.A. speakers on top.
	🎸 ♥ 3:22pm The old pooperoo: Hey, they're horns...real audiophile gear!
	3:24pm David in London: Blimey, everyone’s here today - Handy, spodiodi, brainiac, Earth Walker, Carmichael, Rev, Bringer of Crud. The amusing thing for me is how my text auto fill now completes everyone’s name after the first letter. C is an exciting cliffhanger though, ‘Will he go C...a or will he go C...r...?’ (Or even C....o if Coelacanth is around).
	♥ 3:25pm Hubig Pie: WM, you are correct. Seems Fail Safe was a ripoff of both
	♥ 3:26pm spodiodi: hello there, David in autofillland
	♥ 3:27pm spodiodi: autofailure*land
	🎸 ♥ 3:27pm Bas NL: The radio addict's attic.
	♥ 3:27pm βrian: 63 F and rainy on the isthmus today. Tomorrow promises to be lovely.
	🎸 ♥ 3:27pm brainiac: Why, it's old W. A. "Doc" Tolson at his broadcast station 5XB, according to this: w5ac.tamu.edu...
	🎸 ♥ 3:28pm chresti: Hi Handy! Work was a bit hectic, lots of people asking questions, I walked around a lot, reminding players that they couldn't play doubles, had to pay online, couldn't hang out on the patio...had to kick people out who refused to pay online, etc. By the end of the shift, I'd sometimes loose it and tell them the whole operation would get shut down again if they refused to comply, etc. (that seemed to straighten them up)
	♥ 3:29pm Hubig Pie: He gonna need a double pole 50amp breaker to handle the load of all that radio equipment
	🎸 ♥ 3:29pm chresti: ^at the tennis courts in Griffith Park.
	🎸 ♥ 3:31pm brainiac: At the mere mention of a 50 amp fuse, I've got "You Can't Aways Get What You Want" stuck in my head.
	🎸 ♥ 3:32pm Handy Haversack: Oof, chresti, sounds stressful, but I guess that was to be expected. It was definitely odd not having you around all day! Mary Wing asked after you. Send rain, βrian! We need it!
	♥ 3:32pm spodiodi: you tell 'em, chresti (sheesh)
	3:33pm Malcolm: hello hello
	🎸 ♥ 3:33pm chresti: At least he has boots on, "Doc"
	3:33pm nick: Listening to STF on my birthday while working from home with my dog at my feet! This will be a good year!
	3:33pm David in London: Brainiac, I’ll go down to the Chelsea Drug Store to get your prescription filled.
	♥ 3:34pm βrian: @Handy: Your delivery should arrive tomorrow.
	🎸 ♥ 3:34pm Rev. Turnip Druid: BURPDAY.
	🎸 ♥ 3:34pm brainiac: Happy birthday, old nick!
	🎸 ♥ 3:34pm Bas NL: Happy Birthday Nick!
	3:34pm Earth Walker: Across the pond France
	♥ 3:35pm Hubig Pie: Kismet is always the right word. Happy Bday nick
	🎸 ♥ 3:35pm Handy Haversack: Happy birthday, nick!
	🎸 ♥ 3:36pm brainiac: David, thanks man. I'll take two as soon as you get back.
	🎸 ♥ 3:36pm chresti: Happy birthday, Nick!
	3:37pm WM: @Hubig Pie: Also I think Peter George tired to sue the author of Fail Safe for Plagiarism.
	🎸 ♥ 3:38pm Rev. Turnip Druid: funny. I only discovered FMU in '97, so apparently i got the good stuff.
	🎸 ♥ 3:38pm Mick: Happy birthday Nick! Many happy returns of the day
	3:39pm listener 100751: Long time listener (early 90s), you've always been great to listen to Fabio! That's why everyone keeps coming back
	3:39pm Photocopy Cha Cha: @3:38 Rev. Turnip Druid: well I became a regular listener around 2017 so I might have missed a lot.
	♥ 3:40pm Hubig Pie: Ma'a salaama you failures. Off to ride me bicycle
	3:40pm nick: Awe shucks, thanks everybody!
	3:40pm Photocopy Cha Cha: @3:33 nick: having your dog at your feet makes anyone a happy birthday boy/girl/other - have a happy one!
	🎸 ♥ 3:41pm chresti: Safe travels, Hubig, watch for crazy drivers!
	♥ 3:42pm Hubig Pie: Chresti, we have a lovely bike path fashioned from an old railroad bed, so it's a no brainer
	🎸 ♥ 3:43pm chresti: Ah, good.
	🎸 ♥ 3:43pm brainiac: Don't forget to wear your brain bucket, Hubig, lest you come back sans brain.
	🎸 ♥ 3:44pm Rev. Turnip Druid: I was living in tucson in '97 and there was a list going around of all these radio stations around the world with "webcasts" -- it was quite an exotic thing, I guess. I was digging into all these obscure north African stations & in the middle of the list was FMU...
	♥ 3:44pm geo in jc: Hey Fabio. I enjoyed soldiering through many of those late 80’s shows. Still listening.
	🎸 ♥ 3:44pm chresti: You can make him a new one, right? @brainiac
	♥ 3:45pm Hubig Pie: Brain bucket is de rigueur, part of the uniform
	🎸 ♥ 3:45pm brainiac: I've only got part of one left. It's labeled Abby something.
	♥ 3:46pm common: good zoundz to draw to. thank you, fabio
	♥ 3:47pm bk845: Some of these sounds are kind of painful...The crystal vase near my desk just shattered!
	🎸 ♥ 3:48pm chresti: Fabio's and Blumin's shows, are my favorite shows to draw/paint to.
	🎸 ♥ 3:50pm Handy Haversack: L8r, Hubig!
	3:50pm Megadano: My entire career has been while listening to WFMU. its kind of funny when I consider it.
	♥ 3:51pm happymaan: Just made this episode a favorite, thanks Fabio.
	♥ 3:52pm βrian: We've actually been avoiding the bike path lately. Too damn much traffic.
	🎸 ♥ 3:52pm slugluv1313: greetings, Fabio and everyone! grateful to be here with you all :) Happy Birthday Nick!
	3:52pm David in London: STF was my gateway to FMU when I first heard it on a visit to NYC in 1996. It was aggravating not being able to listen to it back in England. I was so excited when the download podcast era started. Still got plenty of episodes from the Noughties on my old and thankfully still functional iPod.
	3:53pm Crudbringer: I was listening in the late-90s/early aughts, turned on by my friend that moved to BK. Then I fell away for a while. Music of Mind Control is really what brought me back, and now I'm hear for all of it.
	🎸 ♥ 3:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: Greetings, Fabio and giant people. For those about to fail, we salute you!
	🎸 ♥ 3:58pm brainiac: I'll give up my iPod when they pry it from my cold, dead hand. 1984 was the year I was introduced to FMU.
	🎸 ♥ 3:59pm Rev. Turnip Druid: For me the icebreaker was Tony Coulter when I discovered it; the time-zone thing worked out perfectly in AZ. I remember being fascinated by his back-announcing happening over a bed of (i think) the sound of light traffic. Ambient car noises. And that was Ten Million Years Ago. Weird.
	4:03pm Fragonard: Fabio, you should chAnge the name of your show to The Best Show Ever
	4:03pm Megadano: In college (90s) when I was home for the holidays, I would record FMU on as many cassettes as I could. then in my college town a venue had a door man from nyc who loved FMU and i wouldn't have to pay a cover if i gave him cassettes of FMU. haha.
	🎸 ♥ 4:05pm Handy Haversack: We listened in college 1993-1997. FMU, FDU, BAI. Then I left town for a while. It was in our regular radio rotation then for years after like 2005 but only the past three years did I process what the internet had meant for it. They never did breed Haversacks for their smarts.
	4:06pm JakeGould: Here are some resources Mayuko posted at one point if anyone needs them: Mental Health: 1-866-202-4357 Family Helpline: 1-800-843-5437 Suicide Prevention: 1-855-654-7635 Domestic Violence: 1-800-572-7233 TransLifeline: 1-877-565-8860 (US/Canada) In New York City, contact NYC Well at 1-888-NYC-Well or text “Well” to 65173 or visit nycwell.cityofnewyork.us
	🎸 ♥ 4:06pm mrdonutsu: My time keeps getting sliced!
	♥ 4:07pm spodiodi: Irwin, Strength Through Failure w/ Fabio, Diane's Kamikaze Fun Machine, and Three Chord Monte with Joe Belock were big draws for me
	🎸 ♥ 4:09pm jmr3: I think I heard WFMU driving through NJ from Vermont to FL. Heard someone cutting up moon mission audio with some of the argument scenes from 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?' Later, 97? 98? I discovered Fabio, Kenny G, and Diane Kamikaze online and surreptitiously listened at work. Sometimes I'd record through my RealPlayer at home and connect my mp3 player to the cassette adapter in my car.
	4:10pm JakeGould: Also, the Brooklyn Museum is partnering with The Campaign Against Hunger to do food distribution at (in front?) of the museum. More details here: patch.com... And here: www.tcahnyc.org
	🎸 ♥ 4:12pm brainiac: No matter how long you're away, this station is always there, ready to welcome you back and slip a hand into your pocket...
	♥ 4:12pm βrian: Say, is that a pickle?
	4:12pm Jeezuseffinchrist: @brainiac xD
	🎸 ♥ 4:13pm brainiac: I'm happy to see you
	4:13pm Jeezuseffinchrist: <3
	4:15pm Earth Walker: I remember listening to KFOG in San Francisco 80s early 90s
	♥ 4:15pm Fabio: Happy Birthday Nick!!
	4:15pm David in London: I’d always assumed that there was a giant Colossus of Rhodes type statue of Fabio at the entry into Jersey City.
	♥ 4:16pm spodiodi: lol DiL
	♥ 4:16pm spodiodi: nice image
	4:16pm Earth Walker: Hi David !
	🎸 ♥ 4:17pm Handy Haversack: David, through a hilarious, disturbing, and deeply artistic series of accidents, it's actually on the Isle of Jersey.
	🎸 ♥ 4:17pm slugluv1313: first started listening in 1977 -- my first year in college and ever since, WFMU has been this amazing presence/anchor in my life, but especially now, when, at best, we are all isolated (& i am hardly this social, extroverted person!) and at worst, stuck in dangerous situations (when the "shelter in place" protocols first hit, my first thoughts went to those in abusive situations, homeless people, those in jails, group homes, etc.) . . . again, grateful for this oasis of sanity in insane, unsure times . . .
	4:17pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: No this I like
	4:18pm JetBoy of Brooklyn: Now
	♥ 4:18pm Jim the Poet: Hey Fabio great show. This is amazing.
	🎸 ♥ 4:18pm Heavy Chevy: @JakeG thanks for the heads up!! Just shared the broklyn museum link with the local BK mutual aid
	4:19pm David in London: Handy, Jersey in the Channel Islands? Wow, I must head down there and see it as soon as possible.
	🎸 ♥ 4:20pm Bas NL: Hi @slugluv!
	4:22pm Hex Fam Sam: Terrified and loving it!
	🎸 ♥ 4:24pm Handy Haversack: Remarkably good yard-work music.
	♥ 4:25pm northguineahills: @David: Billy Jam from WFMU's Put the Needle on the record did two remote broadcasts from the Balliwiick of Jersey (Jersey City to Jersey)>
	4:26pm JakeGould: @HeavyChevy: Happy to help!
	🎸 ♥ 4:27pm brainiac: @David: While you're there be sure to order the pesca alla Fabio. It's Dover sole with in a delicate bolognese they somehow get to stand upright on the plate.
	🎸 4:27pm Ike: If a DJ's Internet Ain't Legit, the Station Manager Must Acquit (the Idea of Pre-Recording a Show a Few Hours in Advance During a Pandemic) (and Stop Being Stubborn)
	4:30pm David in London: Northguinea, brainiac - thanks for the steer. This is shaping up to be quite some trip to (old) Jersey. Brainiac, I’ll bring some back for you in a doggy bag. Or probably a fishy bag.
	🎸 ♥ 4:31pm mrdonutsu: I'm back at the beginning. Then I'm not. It's so cool!

	🎸 ♥ 4:33pm slugluv1313: hi, Bas NL!
	🎸 ♥ 4:33pm Sweet Corn Lizzie: chresti, I grew up going to Griffith Park. I'm glad you're open but sounds stressful for you. agree about this and Blumin's shows good to draw to.
	🎸 ♥ 4:33pm mrdonutsu: Bye by Mob. Back at the beginning again!
	🎸 ♥ 4:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: Daisy, Ruth, Darren, Carol and Jim the Poet are among the skeletoid situation. The list is growing over time.
	🎸 ♥ 4:34pm dale: hey fabs - that organ interlude made me think you were about to play some kansas.
	♥ 4:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Geez I wish I remembered when & what my onramp to FMU wuz. I kinda remember someone deconstructing the Xmas Story around the Holidays...Being an Introvert I don't signpost external happenings too good...
	♥ 4:36pm ParUbi: Hey everyone, just tuning in
	♥ 4:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...deffo life Before FMU Era & After - otoh - no Time in the Unconscious as Chuck Jung said...
	4:37pm WM: Fabio: Would you please list the new free movie sites you discovered on the comments board?
	🎸 ♥ 4:38pm brainiac: Carry On My Wayward Fab
	4:38pm David in London: Hey ParUbi.
	♥ 4:38pm coelacanth∅: greetings Fabio and Failures
	♥ 4:39pm Stanley: Checking in. Hello Fabio and everyone
	♥ 4:39pm Woo: I found out about FMU by reading about Irwin and Jandek and things of that nature.
	🎸 ♥ 4:40pm dale: dusty show in the wind used to follow up here....
	🎸 ♥ 4:40pm Rev. Turnip Druid: fat freddy scat!
	♥ 4:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wonder if there's a way to look up my earliest comment...
	♥ 4:41pm Stanley: Has anyone seen Commander Cockroach?
	♥ 4:41pm spodiodi: revrabbit, parubi, coelacanth, stanley
	♥ 4:42pm Stanley: spodi-o
	4:43pm Zetti: Thanks Fabio!
	♥ 4:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: spodi ! ...your 'tar looks a little like what I was seeing behind my eyelids this morning - hoping I wasn't having a CovidStroke...
	🎸 ♥ 4:43pm chresti: I learned of WFMU from Shirley and Spinoza internet radio, he plays a lot of People Like Us from the wfmu archives.
	4:45pm David in London: Yo Stanley and Coela. (See my comment earlier about auto fill names).
	🎸 ♥ 4:45pm Bas NL: I was just looking at the sunset here.. i have never seen such a clear sky.
	4:45pm greatb: hi Fabio and all... always down for the Terry Riley interludes...
	🎸 ♥ 4:46pm chresti: I only recently discovered the playlist/comments board when I switched to listening via the website, after losing itunes radio.
	♥ 4:46pm Stanley: Hi David. Keeping warm, I hope.
	🎸 ♥ 4:46pm brainiac: @chresti: I was heavily into Shirley and Spinoza. Their iTunes internet stream seems to have just gone down earlier this year.
	♥ 4:47pm ParUbi: I was googling for radio stations that played :zoviet*france:
	♥ 4:47pm northguineahills: thanks for the stream recomendations, Fabio...
	♥ 4:48pm coelacanth∅: hey spodi, Stanley, David... . .
	🎸 ♥ 4:48pm chresti: @brainiac, yeah, I think you can get it via Tune In, maybe, or go to the website.
	♥ 4:48pm northguineahills: I read about wfmu (in the Wire?), in 1998, and late at night at work (I was still an undergrad), I used the office's untapped bandwidth to listen to WFMU's tinny stream...
	🎸 ♥ 4:49pm Bas NL: I discovered WFMU through live365. In the first days the number of recommended stations raised to some 5000. After a month of listening live365 got to know me. One (1) suggestion remained: WFMU. Bless their algorithm.
	♥ 4:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Someone had mentioned FMU to me before I streamed it - saying 'this station plays some pretty good stuff sometimes'...rather than: This fecking thing is wunna the best damned things EVER & will be a cultural cornerstone for your pathetic backside...
	4:51pm David in London: ParUbi, that must have been Joe Belock then. Zoviet France have a good steady beat for dancing, after all...
	🎸 ♥ 4:51pm Handy Haversack: We'll allow that algorithm, Bas! And hi! Hey, ParUbi.
	♥ 4:52pm ParUbi: They do have a good dance beat, especially if you like dancing while lying on the floor
	4:54pm Malcolm: First got hooked around 2011. WFMU was my companion to writing my PhD in the british library. I'm a newbie i guess!
	🎸 ♥ 4:54pm brainiac: @chresti: Yeah, you were right! Got S&S back. Thanks a lot!
	🎸 ♥ 4:55pm chresti: S&s plays a lot of Soviet stuff, he's in China, Yunnan Province. Yay@brainiac
	🎸 ♥ 4:55pm Rev. Turnip Druid: AH, i remember now. That list of global "webcasts" was from someone at MIT; it had about three dozen stations at the time. FMU was by far the greatest discovery therein..
	♥ 4:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I think Riley had Bose headphones in mind...
	4:56pm greatb: FMU is all of my favorite radio stations :)
	♥ 4:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: + Nice greatb ! +
	♥ 5:00pm Stanley: 10pm here. Time for a whisky.
	♥ 5:00pm ParUbi: Well, I like the original (Baruch) Spinoza, so I should totally try out Shirley and Spinoza! Will look into it...
	🎸 5:00pm Ike: Dave Mandl, FM airwaves, Saturday early afternoons, circa late 1993-94.
	🎸 ♥ 5:01pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Shirley & Spinoza was another great one. That link used to be on the old iTunes radio list, but thought it must have died a while back?
	🎸 ♥ 5:01pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ah, missed Braniac's comment earlier. Yes. That.
	🎸 ♥ 5:02pm brainiac: Here ya go, Rev: s2.radio.co...
	🎸 ♥ 5:02pm Bas NL: @Stanley: What's yours tonight? I'm splashing out on a slow Laphroaig 17 years..
	🎸 ♥ 5:04pm Handy Haversack: Just opened some cold wine. It's muggy out there.
	♥ 5:04pm Stanley: @Bas - Ben Riach 12 yo sherry cask. You like a bit of the ol' smoke then?
	♥ 5:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 1,906 stream on my iTunes playlist (current or otherwise) ...1,907 - Cheers !
	🎸 ♥ 5:06pm Bas NL: Oww! Never had Ben Riach. And yes, it's mostly peaty heaven in my cupboard. ;)
	5:06pm JakeGould: “Wild Girl” and the “Hour of Slack” for me between 1992 and 1995.
	🎸 ♥ 5:07pm Handy Haversack: BTW: Stanley, I spent the past two days prepping a manuscript for editing -- it's about the search for terroir in whisk(e)y. Will make sure you know the relevant details when it's out. There's a guide to setting up flights for tasting as an appendix! My friend in Edinburgh is going to edit it, and I'm supervising the production -- I did not write it, to be clear.
	♥ 5:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& I generally stream FMU or listen to Podcasts...
	🎸 ♥ 5:07pm brainiac: oops, didn't see you up there ParUbi. Enjoy that stream in good health.
	♥ 5:08pm Stanley: Handy that sound very interesting. Are you the author?
	🎸 ♥ 5:08pm TDK60: Hello. Just back from a rare walk.
	🎸 ♥ 5:09pm Handy Haversack: Heh, no, Stanley. Merely a cog in the machine.
	5:09pm watchpocket: "The Minotaur" was what Keith Emerson ripped off for "Lucky Man." (Though not sure if it's coming from Fabio HQ or station HQ. The signal dropouts today are VERY unusual for STF. Don't complain folks, the show's very text and subtext is . . . FAILURE. STRENGTH WILL ULTIMATELY COME OF IT.
	♥ 5:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thot it very Keith yeah.
	🎸 5:11pm Ike: Hey board op, which Terry Riley piece were you using there earlier?
	♥ 5:13pm Matt Warwick: @Ike a Rainbow in Curved air
	5:14pm Itzall Hear: watchpocket, that's very well put, and I agree that it IS very unusual for this show to drop so often. I thought maybe it was on my end, you've confirmed that it is not.
	🎸 ♥ 5:14pm TDK60: Matt, I loaned a fella my Rainbow in Curved Air album once. I had to go to his place to get it back. He asked if I'd sell it. Nope.
	♥ 5:15pm Stanley: Handy - Terroir is a big thing for whisk(e)y. I recently came accross a single malt from a distillery in Goa, India. A bottle was retailing for £300+. I wonder what the author would think of that 'terroir'. I would love to hear more about it.
	♥ 5:16pm Matt Warwick: Going to run to the library to get some JAZZ
	🎸 ♥ 5:17pm Handy Haversack: Stanley, I'll send you my e-mail address through your profile and fill you in! Hey, TDK60.
	♥ 5:18pm Stanley: Thanks
	🎸 5:19pm Ike: Thanks!
	♥ 5:19pm ParUbi: I've heard about that Jazz music. How could they just make up all those notes? Sounds exhausting!
	5:19pm WM: Thanks for the Globe Unity Orchestra - probably the best of the free jazz inspired European groups.
	🎸 ♥ 5:20pm TDK60: Hey Handy. You're an editor?
	5:20pm watchpocket: Raise a glass to board op Matt since we can't always tell when the dropouts occur. It's like a dream sequence, or a good mash-up mix. Now you see Fabio, now you don't, & here he is again.
	5:21pm Itzall Hear: @ParUbi- it's not hard when you are an EXPERT. It's ALL they do, all the time. Seems impossible but true.
	🎸 ♥ 5:21pm chris: came in to say what watchpocket just said. and saw whisky terroir being discussed.. oooooo. i would guess a whisky terroir would be about grains, water and yeast. am i wrong?
	🎸 ♥ 5:22pm Handy Haversack: @watchpocket: yeah! Well said. Fabio, Matt, happy to be here to fail alongside such excellent people. No place else I'd rather be! @TDK60: Yup. In scholarly publishing.
	🎸 ♥ 5:22pm Bas NL: I had an Amrut Indian whisky recently on a tasting.. It was really good! They age quickly in the heat, so with only 3-4 years they taste very mature.
	🎸 ♥ 5:22pm Ken From Hyde Park: Failure is a many-splendo(ü)red thing.
	🎸 ♥ 5:24pm Handy Haversack: @chris: seems like grain especially, but one article cited had an awesome title. Something like "You Think You're 'Craft'? Make Your Own Yeast!"!
	5:25pm egould310: Sounds like he’s giving that saxophone “eagle-bird kisses”.
	🎸 ♥ 5:26pm chris: thanks, Handy. first mash i did here at the homestead began fermenting before i even added yeast. both, yikes! and hmm, cool! didn't taste great distilled, though. such is the outcome for new distillers.
	♥ 5:27pm Stanley: @Bas - interesting. the bottle I saw was only a 5 yo and I thought, not enough time. But would love to try. @chris - it's a bit more than that. For instance I've got my eyes on a bottle of Old Pulteney. The distillery is right on the coast and, not surprisingly, the sea air imparts a feint salty flavour to the spirit.
	🎸 ♥ 5:28pm Handy Haversack: Any bathtub you can walk away from, chris! I miss brewing beer a lot. We were toying with the idea of distilling when my buddy who had the apartment where such things could be possible moved away.
	🎸 ♥ 5:29pm chresti: @Handy, I used to do paste-up for a scholarly publication, in the early 80s.
	🎸 ♥ 5:30pm chris: nice, Stanley! so much fun (and expense) to the whisky experience. indeed, Handy. running the still scared the hell out of everyone who wasn't involved, so the project came to a close. sad face.
	♥ 5:30pm Stanley: chris - a man has to have a hobby.
	🎸 ♥ 5:30pm Rev. Turnip Druid: SUPERCRAP.
	5:31pm WM: Thanks for the free jazz oriented set.
	🎸 ♥ 5:31pm TDK60: Chresti, you used to do pasteup. Me too, on fliers and a community paper.
	♥ 5:31pm PMD: 'below' is all relative. Look at the world upside down!
	🎸 ♥ 5:32pm Handy Haversack: @chresti: paste-up! Excellent. Not a lot of book designers still know the term, I think!
	5:33pm David in London: A few years back my missus bought me a ‘whisky weekend’ at the London Whisky School for my birthday. Although getting the first dram down at 10am was a challenge, it was a truly great weekend. As part of it, we had to blend and devise a marketing campaign for our own whisky. We made The GlenHackney’ and it went down very well with the class. Sadly, being a small batch run it has long since sold out. I still have an empty bottle or two though...
	♥ 5:34pm Stanley: Haha that's a great story, David.
	♥ 5:34pm spodiodi: yeah, cheers, David -- to your missus
	🎸 ♥ 5:35pm chris: she's a keeper, David! i'd really enjoy that, too.
	🎸 ♥ 5:35pm Handy Haversack: That's awesome, David!. Ha! I realized that this blind spot in my ice box is actually a now-like seven-year-old champagne bottle of imperial stout we brewed. I think Kate and I might finally see how it's held up.
	🎸 ♥ 5:35pm brainiac: My first job in Brooklyn was paste-up for a community paper. My boss was a rageaholic and threw a tape dispenser through a light table. I quit soon thereafter.
	5:35pm bLeubomberune b: Bonjour Fábio, late arriving, took wrong wormhole to your galaxy
	5:36pm Itzall Hear: brainiac, good move! You may have been his NEXT target.
	5:36pm ignatatus666: 2 versions?
	🎸 ♥ 5:37pm brainiac: Those tape dispensers were heavy!
	🎸 ♥ 5:37pm Threemoons: Loving this...
	5:37pm WM: I'm a bit disappointed, Fabio... I think Skypilot is one of the worst songs I've ever heard. But I'll keep tuning in...
	5:38pm Itzall Hear: I'm really enjoying the ramshackle aspect of today's program, but does it seem like this "Sorry...no playlist" guy is really hogging the show?!?
	5:39pm WM: ... after all, you did just play a set containing Ornette Coleman, Noah Howard and Byard Lancaster.
	5:39pm David in London: Brainiac, he sounds like Chris Morris as Denholm Reynholm in The IT Crowd.
	♥ 5:40pm Stanley: @Bas - I visited the Laphroaig distillery a few years back and the 'gimmick' they had was if you bought a bottle at the end of the tour you got a certificate granting you (apparantly legal) ownerhip of one square foot of peat bog on the island, complete with map to indicate where it was situated. The deal was that the distillery rented it back from you and would pay one dram a year for this. Only thing was that you had to turn up in person to collect your annual 'rent'.
	🎸 ♥ 5:40pm Ken From Hyde Park: A "State of the Station" presentation coming up?
	🎸 ♥ 5:40pm Bas NL: The interwebs is riddled with riddles today. I blame binge viewing.
	🎸 ♥ 5:41pm brainiac: Heh, @David: just tried to get Mrs. brainiac interested in the IT Crowd. The attempt failed mightily.
	🎸 ♥ 5:41pm TDK60: It's all a cosmic web of sound vibrations anyway, eh? Something like that?
	5:41pm sydnius: Eine Kleine Hallogallo
	♥ 5:42pm coelacanth∅: smooth reemergence of vocokesh...i wouldn't have guessed you could do that, between the Fabio source and the studio source
	🎸 ♥ 5:42pm Handy Haversack: David: WORTH IT. If you ever get the chance to watch the movie at the Ben Nevis distillery, do it. Angel trumpets and devil trombones and giants making whisky. You are invited!
	🎸 ♥ 5:43pm Heavy Chevy: ngl - this is challenging listening
	5:43pm David in London: Brainiac - Has she seen the ‘team, team, team’ skit? Surely that must convert her. Mrs DiL and I quote that almost every day.
	♥ 5:43pm coelacanth∅: back to neu! what the hell is going on?!
	🎸 ♥ 5:43pm Bas NL: @Stanley: True! I gathered several square feet already.. still have to collect the drams though. ;)
	5:44pm David in London: Handy, I wish I still had a bottle I could send you.
	♥ 5:45pm Stanley: Nice one Bas! If you do get over make sure you pass through Edinburgh and let me know
	♥ 5:45pm coelacanth∅: (...or can, rather)
	🎸 ♥ 5:46pm brainiac: @David: I'll give it a shot. We quote a lot of Princess Bride around here. Different sensibilities...
	🎸 ♥ 5:46pm Bas NL: Will do! I'd love to visit Edinburgh!
	🎸 ♥ 5:48pm Handy Haversack: Bas, maybe they give you credit for accrual and you can collect all the drams at once! We're a Withnail and I / Big Lebowski household.
	5:49pm David in London: Right, I’m out of here. Thanks for a great show Fabio of Rhodes, and see all you kool kats later.
	🎸 ♥ 5:50pm brainiac: I just inflicted Withnail and I on her 2 or 3 months ago. At least she made it to the end. Bye David!
	🎸 ♥ 5:50pm Bas NL: I've always had the vision of leap-frogging my patches on the Laphroaig grounds.. and downing a dram before each leap.
	♥ 5:50pm Stanley: Good night David, Fare thee well.
	🎸 ♥ 5:50pm Handy Haversack: Night, David!
	♥ 5:52pm coelacanth∅: tchau David
	🎸 ♥ 5:53pm Bas NL: The charm of A/B listening great songs.
	🎸 ♥ 5:53pm Handy Haversack: Fabio, Matt, this tag-team might have been frustrating at your end. But I (and I think a bunch of other folx) have been enjoying the ride. Surprises are good -- and ambiguity is richness. Thanks for the effort! Strength! Loads of fun, everyone.
	🎸 ♥ 5:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Just one 100-foot ethernet cable away from failure. Thanks, Fabio + Matt.
	5:55pm bLeubomberune b: Bonsoir Fábio,excellent music selection. Back 2 the hole in ground
	🎸 ♥ 5:56pm Bas NL: Fantastic show! Thanks for all the dedication Fabio and Matt!
	♥ 5:56pm Stanley: Me too. Enjoyed the "texture" of tonight's show. Good night all
	♥ 5:56pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Fabio, Matt and crew
	♥ 5:56pm spodiodi: thanks, Fabio! thanks, Matt! adios, all!
	🎸 ♥ 5:56pm TDK60: Fabio & Matt, see you next chance...
	🎸 ♥ 5:56pm dale: thought that was bob seger when it started out.
	🎸 ♥ 5:57pm chresti: Thanks, Fabio, Matt, enjoyment was had, top to bottom!
	6:00pm ?: Play more Vocokesh next week
	♥ 6:00pm PMD: Sounds so sad
	🎸 ♥ 6:00pm dale: time for a cocktail fabs - you earned it.
	6:00pm ultradamno: Or F/i
	6:02pm ?: ultradamno knows what's up.
