Now you are here (and cannot escape, sorry) from Xana du ooo ooo ooo."
	8:11pm Don-O: Hurr....Hurr....Hurr.....
	9:25pm Kit Carson: A GREAT musical movie of all times. I fell in love with the movie when I was 13 years old.

	3:21pm Mx. Granny (e/em): ONJ—truly a muse who could harmonize with all the greats
	3:22pm Don-O: Toronto in the house....I mean, in the club.
	3:23pm Mx. Granny (e/em): Was "wheels are in motion" and intentional allusion to roller skating? Discuss:
	3:25pm Ducky: I am streaming through VLC. I only get Sheena’s Jungle Room - The (Unofficial) 40th Anniversary as the title. No biggie. I will follow along with the playlist here.
	3:25pm Otis Fodder: Ah, cool to know, will inquire about VLC and titles, thanks Ducky!
	3:26pm Mx. Granny (e/em): The birth of mash-ups!
	3:26pm Remo Di Nunzio: Toronto had a singles club named Xanadu. tables set up with phones on them. if you liked the person at table #5 you could call them lol
	3:34pm ironybread: Has someone already made the important point that "Dancin'" is a proto-mashup and paved the way for mashup artists of the future etc etc? Because too much helpful critical analysis is never enough. Thank you
	3:36pm ironybread: Ah yes, clearly we are all already aware of this concept. Bless us, every one.
	3:37pm Mx. Granny (e/em): hee hee!
	3:37pm Remo Di Nunzio: Still my fav 'mash-up" and the album still my fav soundtrack!
	3:38pm Don-O: Ironybread: It damned well connected, we just don't want to block it out. We're surrounded.....
	3:38pm Don-O: Ah, we're coming up to my favorite Xanadu song!!
	3:41pm Xanadu: was pants
	3:43pm Don-O: I think someone on this chat is drunk already.........'Xanadu'??
	3:44pm Xanadu: i dont touch the stuff
	3:46pm Xanadu: Condorman; now THAT was a movie!
	3:51pm Otis Fodder: First break coming up in about 15 minutes. Broadcasting Live from Montreal with Don-O in New Mexico Zooming in!
	3:53pm Remo Di Nunzio: Yes! Drum Dreams! <3
	3:53pm Xanadu: Break? Napoli just pulled a goal back against Barcelona. They only need 2 more.
	3:54pm Don-O: Perfect BGM for the match, Xanadu!
	3:54pm Hitch in Hashington: OMG! I forgot about this part!
	3:55pm Mx. Granny Udanax (e/em): YES!
	3:55pm Hitch in Hashington: I should be watching the movie with the sound off.
	3:55pm Xanadu: im not gonna be able to un-forget it
	3:56pm Mr Fab: I missed it - what was the mashup?
	3:56pm Mx. Granny Udanax (e/em): Mr. Fab: The Tubes merged with Gene Kelly
	3:56pm Don-O: Oh, Dancin' IronyBread brought this up.
	3:56pm Xanadu: The soundtrack to The Black Hole is way better, altho i will say that this main theme song is a classic.
	3:57pm Don-O: I mean to get the OST to The Hole. Should complete my 1979/80 movie OST collection.
	3:58pm mzzm: didn't michael beck sing with ONJ a one section?
	3:58pm Xanadu: The Hole? No, that was a porno, be careful what u order.
	3:58pm Mr Fab: Yep, John Barry main theme is the best thing about that film.
	3:58pm Don-O: The first of many MANY 'Xanadu's, folks. GET USE TO THEM!!!!!
	3:59pm Mx. Granny Udanax (e/em): i'm ready
	4:00pm Mx. Granny Udanax (e/em): i hope The Chipmunks did a version
	4:00pm Remo Di Nunzio: I was ready back in 1980 when i 1st heard it :p
	4:01pm Mr Fab: All this Xanadu talk reminded me that I have the soundtrack to “The Apple.” should I - DARE I - add tracks from it to the Sheena stream?
	4:01pm Otis Fodder: Yes, please Fab!
	4:01pm Hitch in Hashington: oh yeah, Mr. Fab! Do!
	4:02pm Hitch in Hashington: Sounds like Olivia's stuck in demo mode.
	4:02pm Don-O: Yea, YOU think Xanadu sucks raw eggs, just try The Fucking APPLE!!!
	4:02pm ironybread: Mr. Fab - asking that question is just a gateway to asking a far more dangerous question: "Should I add the Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band movie soundtrack too?"
	4:03pm Xanadu: who was in The Apple?
	4:03pm Don-O: So, Fab you have to lone copy that did get thrown at the screen at the premiere??
	4:03pm Sonderangebot: We just need a Xanadu rap version
	4:04pm Don-O: ...as in NOT get thrown at the screen.....
	4:04pm Mr Fab: Ironybread: nooooooo! Don-O : wow, I actually don’t know where it came from. (Well, from a friend, don’t know where he got it from)
	4:06pm Mr Fab: I used to see the OST for “All This And World War 2” around...
	4:06pm Don-O: Not many people DON'T want to know where that Apple came from.
	4:07pm Hitch in Hashington: I would rather watch ATAWW2 than that insipid newer Beatles musical. What's it called? I've blocked it. My wife and daughter would put it on often.
	4:07pm ironybread: Mr. Fab - "All This and WWII" may be a bridge too far [wait, unwanted extra WWII reference, sorry]
	4:07pm Hitch in Hashington: Beatles songs sung in this over-the-top histrionic singing style and auto-tuned.
	4:08pm Mr Fab: “Yesterday”?
	4:08pm Hitch in Hashington: Yeah, I think?
	4:08pm Xanadu: 2-headed monster
	4:09pm ironybread: "Across the Universe", I believe.
	4:09pm Xanadu: give me the zoom password and ill join the chat
	4:11pm Hitch in Hashington: Yeah, that's it.
	4:12pm Mx. Granny (e/em): The inevitable connection between Bob Dobbs and ONJ
	4:15pm ironybread: That's amazing, you met in the Venn diagram overlap between Negativland and Xanadu...I know that's a legit thing, I'm afraid I'm in it. Where do both of those bands meet best, I wonder? Meat Beat Manifesto, perhaps
	4:16pm Mx. Granny Udanax (e/em): The 5AM showdown is gonna be great around here
	4:16pm Sproutsonic: Greetings from Vancouver Island! We're tuning in as we can 50 lbs of tomatoes today, we're calling it Canadu!
	4:17pm Mx. Granny Udanax (e/em): Sproutsonic: ha ha! that's great. Say hi to the Salish Sea for me. <3
	4:20pm Sonderangebot: Canadu! I love it!
	4:21pm Ken From Hyde Park: Xanadu www.imdb.com... "A struggling artist living in Los Angeles meets a girl who may hold the key to his happiness."
	4:22pm Mx. Granny Udanax (e/em): Xanacthulu
	4:22pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): @Ducky 3:07: The live MP3 stream now identifies the songs!
	4:22pm Don-O: Here's that Medley!!
	4:24pm Remo Di Nunzio: Nice medley!
	4:24pm Xanadu: you got it
	4:25pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Is this Medley an official release? (Sounds like it...)
	4:25pm Hitch in Hashington: Kenzo, you are the proverbial bee's knees!
	4:26pm Don-O: NOPE! This is NOT a official release!
	4:26pm Otis Fodder: Hi Kenzo. Thanks for helping us setup the playlist and show!!
	4:26pm Hitch in Hashington: LOL Mx. Granny!
	4:27pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): So, who's performing the orchestra?
	4:27pm Don-O: Hey, Kenzo. Thanks for the technical push!!
	4:27pm Don-O: Louis Clark is leading the orchestra.
	4:28pm Don-O: ....and Jeff Lynne and the rest of ELO play right along with 'em!
	4:28pm Ducky: Awesome! Seems to be working great.
	4:29pm Remo Di Nunzio: I just realized I've been training for this marathon for 40 years!
	4:31pm ironybread: So the snare drum track is basically operating a noise gate for a recording of Beethoven's 9th - that is interesting.
	4:32pm Don-O: ....or you can slow it down and things get REALLY interesting!!!
	4:33pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): (If anyone needs more Negativland meets ELO after they start experiencing withdrawal tomorrow, I've used Xanadu in my live sound collages a few times, such as in "It's Possible" wfmu.org... and "Act & Move On" wfmu.org...)
	4:34pm Don-O: OH! I will have to check that out later. I know Otis used bits of ELO in his Bran Flakes stuff.
	4:36pm Kitsch in Kashington: It'll be interesting to see what a playlist looks like after 24 hours, scroll-wise.
	4:38pm Xanadu: long, probably
	4:38pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Rock N Soul has pushed things nearly that far already, with tons of graphics to boot. Beat out my 200 samples in 2 hours playlists.
	4:39pm Don-O: Well, how many GIFs can one pile up here. I'm being hypnotized by that Sonny hitting that brick wall.
	4:40pm Don-O: .....and just waiting for a couple on the Popcorn Girl to pop up.
	4:46pm Bananadu: Anyone know what a banana do?
	4:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: Xenomorphadu
	4:47pm Xanadu: a banana rarmers
	4:48pm Bananadu: Mx. Granadu!
	4:49pm Bananadu: Ha there was a writer on that movie?
	4:50pm Mx. Granadu (e/em): Bananadu!!!
	4:50pm Mx. Granadu (e/em): Xanax dude
	4:51pm Don-O: Maybe that's the porn version of Xanadu. I though it would be Xanadu-du
	4:51pm Bananadu: Bananadu is an a peel ing film but the reviews have been split.
	4:53pm Otis Fodder: Solodu!
	4:57pm Bananadu: Did you know Xanadu was based on the Ancient Greek play, RollerMuse?
	5:00pm Nana Doo: Are you boys drinking enough water?
	5:05pm Don-O: Well, I have to, I'm AZ!!!
	5:05pm Otis Fodder: No Nana, could you bring the hose again?
	5:07pm solo mon: Just want to make sure you stay hydrated.
	5:08pm Otis Fodder: Much water and coffee and cookies and plums, all together at once.
	5:09pm Don-O: I don't think I can see J. R. 'Bob' Dobbs dancing to this....maybe pounding bruskies to the beat.
	5:09pm solo mon: “ I really want tonight to last forever “ says ELO
	5:10pm Don-O: Kira is my Bob, Bob is my Kira!! www.deviantart.com...

	5:26pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Oh fantastic, a separation
	5:26pm Mx. Granny (e/em): solo mon: i saw a Peacotum the other day and backed away slowly…
	5:27pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Is it cheating when you keep leaving the show for a few moments to go watch the opening again?
	5:27pm Don-O: Okay you Karaoke freaks, time to wake up the neighborhood!!
	5:28pm Mx. Granny (e/em): Karaoke freak #1, sir!
	5:28pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): So, this is from 4.1...? ...DVD, or...?
	5:29pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Is there a 5-channel soundtrack I have to go looking for?
	5:29pm ?: Laserdisc?
	5:30pm Don-O: 2008's DVD 5.1 mix.
	5:31pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Fab, it never occurred to me what gems were in the 5.1 mixes, since I only have 2 speakers.
	5:31pm solo mon: Gran- Is that a peach apricot plum? These orchards are gettin freaky!
	5:32pm Mx. Granny (e/em): fuhreeeekeeeee
	5:32pm Mx. Granny (e/em): i'm gonna tell my KJ queerheart these tracks are ready for karaoke!!! This is gonna be the best birthday ever!
	5:36pm Don-O: ECHO.....echo.....ECHO.....
	5:36pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): The time travel channel
	5:37pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): It's too bad he never got the Wilburys to do Xanadu covers.
	5:46pm Remo Di Nunzio: Sheri Spiteri does a great cover of Xanadu
	5:48pm Don-O: Ms. Spiteri will make her appearance soon.
	5:50pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Heaven, these separate channels
	5:50pm Mx. Granny (e/em): fuck yes
	5:54pm Mr Fab: @ladypodtron: yep, the special’s down to its last 23 hours!!
	5:54pm Don-O: 23 hours can go up like THAT!!!
	5:55pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Are you going to start playing each EQ channel separately next?
	5:55pm Kitsch in Kashington: Went for my walk and lost the stream while I walked into and out of the black hole of no coverage.
	5:56pm Kitsch in Kashington: ah. Was listening in my living room area and was wondering what was going on with frequencies and now I get it.
	5:56pm Robert Porter: Wait! What!?
	5:56pm Don-O: Well, we're skipping the surround sound channel as it the music mixed in mono and pushed back. NOT as sexy as the other channels
	5:57pm Don-O: HEY! ROBERT! you got my e-mail! Welcome to the insanity!!!!
	5:58pm Robert Porter: Where are the ONJ 5.1 mixes?
	6:00pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): (I keep thinking it's going to be Psycho Killer when The Fall starts)
	6:00pm Don-O: Oh, the ONJ stuff is coming up later.....we're playing directly from your UX discs for right now.
	6:00pm Otis Fodder: Hi Robert! Great to read you here, it's Magic!
	6:01pm Remo Di Nunzio: This entire event is absolutely amazing! Hats off to everyone involved!
	6:03pm Mx. Granny (e/em): OK this is crazy good
	6:08pm BC Sterrett: Oh wow, the playlist is working now!
	6:12pm Mx. Granny (e/em): Thank you, Robert!
	6:12pm Sonderangebot: Granny! Look at our avatars!
	6:12pm Mx. Granny (e/em): HA HA!!!
	6:12pm Ladypodtron: I am in Xanadu! Time has stopped and I am loving every minute of it!
	6:12pm Mx. Granny (e/em): Peek-a-Du!
	6:14pm Cp304: Good evening peoples, I finally made it.
	6:16pm BC Sterrett: The Xanadu Preservation Society archived one of my Xanadu Fest fliers :) I hosted it for about 7 years. I stopped when people started coming from out of state and I felt bad that we didn't have any of the actors that they were hoping to see etc.
	6:18pm Cp304: This Xanadu thing is new to me, I don’t think I ever heard of it
	6:18pm Robert Porter: Thanks for the call outs! I just put together the gigantic Ultimate Xanadu collection a few years ago. Anything and everything Xanadu related (audio wise) that I could find from the movie.
	6:20pm Robert Porter: Cp304... hope you enjoy the madness!
	6:21pm Cp304: I’m strapping in Robert. Just got home from work, plan on showering and riding it out. I’ll record extra back up also in a few.
	6:24pm Mx. Granny (e/em): i agree with that disco movie ranking, and i'm the same age as Otis
	6:30pm Robert Porter: Don, I have several recordings of ELO, or rather Jeff Lynne's ELO, performing both Xanadu and All Over The World from the Hyde Park show in 2014 to the 2019 concert. More to add to UX!
	6:31pm Robert Porter: Again, thanks for the kind words.
	6:32pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Wow, 1999? Sounds great!
	6:32pm Robert Porter: And the bass player, Kelly Groucutt, is pronounced "Grow-Cut".
	6:33pm Remo Di Nunzio: She sounds amazing!
	6:33pm Mx. Granny (e/em): when i was a kid, i watched Solid Gold, The Muppet Show and disco movies with the exact same attitude—it was all fantasy fodder for this budding queerdo
	6:33pm Don-O: Oh, this live track was recorded at Trumps place in Atlantic City. Sorry to remind people about that sad fact
	6:34pm Don-O: Thanks, Robert. I always had trouble pronouncing Kelly's name.
	6:36pm Robert Porter: I think of it like a haircut. It grows, then you cut it. Grow-Cut.
	6:36pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): John Farrar to the rescue again
	6:36pm Don-O: Robert, I did add Jeff's ELO Wembly Xanadu tracks in UX 26. I'll e-mail you later about the rest.
	6:36pm solo mon: Mx I was obsessed w dance fever too with Danny terrio and “motion”
	6:36pm BC Sterrett: Loved hearing you talk about it Don-O :)
	6:37pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): The warbling minor notes in this song defined the whole year for me.
	6:37pm solo mon: Waylon Flowers and Madame on Solid Gold drove me crazy( in a good way?)
	6:37pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): OMG Dance Fever
	6:38pm Don-O: The older Olivia get, the more her voice sounds sexier!!
	6:38pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Waiting patiently for the soundboard ONJ vocal channel on these 1999 recordings.
	6:38pm solo mon: She sounds a little koala blue to me ;-)
	6:39pm Mx. Granny (e/em): Dance Fever! i had some rather strong opinions, considering myself quite an expert on choreography!
	6:40pm Otis Fodder: Slow dance, everybody out on the floor.
	6:40pm solo mon: No grinding!
	6:40pm Cp304: I’ve not showered yet Otis, not proper
	6:41pm Otis Fodder: Kenzo - Like the Lynda McCartney isolated track of Hey Jude.
	6:41pm BC Sterrett: My wife and I are slow dancing as we clean the kitchen :)
	6:41pm Robert Porter: I have several live recordings of Suddenly too, that we can add to future versions of UX. When you email me, I'll provide the details. Personally, I love the surround channel version of this tune. Some weird little bits going on in the background that normally can't be heard.
	6:41pm Don-O: She finally released a Live In Las Vegas double CD 4 or 5 years ago.....and she covers Cry Me A River. Perfect!
	6:41pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): @Otis But opposite! Sound good!
	6:41pm Otis Fodder: Ha, Cp, me too!
	6:42pm Otis Fodder: Totally Kenzo, love ONJ.
	6:42pm Don-O: This can't be a 'FMU chat room without somebody mentioning Linda McCarney's vocal "talent"
	6:43pm solo mon: Remember how ONJ husband “disappeared” and she thought he was dead:-(
	6:43pm Remo Di Nunzio: i think he faked his own death :(
	6:43pm solo mon: Yeah that was weird.
	6:44pm Don-O: I just remembered Dance Fever had a couple dancing to Whenever You're Away From Me in 1981
	6:44pm Sonderangebot: Otis is starting to look delirious!
	6:45pm Robert Porter: Don't pick on Linda. She was able to manage Paul's massive egol
	6:45pm Don-O: Oh, that disappearance?! THAT was hilarious!!! Who knew Olivia gad a 'stalker' side of her personality. Straight outta a John Waters movie.
	6:45pm solo mon: Sondy quick feed him a plum or a pluot? Anyways, pluots and prayers.
	6:45pm Otis Fodder: Sondy.... I am, 20 more hours of silly here.
	6:46pm Don-O: Linda McCatney is up there with Tiny Tim and Wild Man Fischer around here in WFMUland.
	6:46pm solo mon: I heard Netflix was doing a gritty re boot of Xanadu except it tells the story of Olivia’s husbands disappearing
	6:47pm solo mon: Linda McCatney Meee owwwch
	6:47pm Don-O: HA! I'd watch THAT!, solo
	6:48pm Robert Porter: C'est la vie. Parlez vous, cup of tea?
	6:48pm Don-O: I'm Alive doesn't gt much attention.......
	6:48pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Who's singing this?
	6:49pm Otis Fodder: When I saw ELO 2 in Reno in like 1995, it was Kelly from the band doing most lead vox from what I recall. Maybe Bev too?
	6:49pm Robert Porter: That's Kelly Groucutt on lead vocals.
	6:49pm BC Sterrett: I'm listening to a Live recording of I'm Alive, on LIVe Radio with a Live chat room! This is my favorite Xana song.
	6:50pm Don-O: I believe it's Kelly singing lead on that one.
	6:50pm Ima Live: I do love a medley.
	6:50pm Remo Di Nunzio: Xanatastic!
	6:51pm Ima Live: Hopefully no one here is xanaphobic.
	6:53pm Don-O: Eric Taylor is singing lead on this one.....
	6:57pm Robert Porter: Not to pick a nit, but it's Troyer, not Taylor.
	7:00pm Don-O: UT! Me and my spelling.....and typing....
	7:00pm Remo Di Nunzio: Olivia just wished everyone Happy 40th Anniversary Xanadu on Facebook just now :p
	7:02pm Otis Fodder: Yay! Happy 40th!
	7:02pm Don-O: I noticed that video as well
	7:10pm Cp304: now this is some soc hop slow dance ish
	7:11pm Cp304: or, for me, punch refill
	7:11pm Mx. Granny (e/em): Ima Live: i wonder are there video clips of Robbie D's Xanadu performance from "Diary of Dawn Dawn"?!??!
	7:13pm BC Sterrett: I grew up with the vinyl soundtrack from my older brothers. I listened to it a lot, but not having seen the film, I made one up in my mind. My brain version of Xanadu, was more sci-fi with lots of caves for some reason. I didn't see the actual film till I was at a DJ party for KWCR and our manager had a screening. I was changed for life!
	7:14pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): You should've recorded your imaginary version first
	7:15pm Dazzling Du: Where dreams come true.
	7:15pm Don-O: We're selling a movie 40 years too late. Well, you try......

	8/6 11:02am Otis Fodder: "A place where nobody wanted to go. The love that we were forced to know. They call it Xanadu. And now, open your eyes and see what we have made is real. We are in Xanadu.

Now you are here (and cannot escape, sorry) from Xana du ooo ooo ooo."

	3:21pm Mx. Granny (e/em): ONJ—truly a muse who could harmonize with all the greats
	3:22pm Don-O: Toronto in the house....I mean, in the club.
	3:23pm Mx. Granny (e/em): Was "wheels are in motion" and intentional allusion to roller skating? Discuss:
	3:25pm Ducky: I am streaming through VLC. I only get Sheena’s Jungle Room - The (Unofficial) 40th Anniversary as the title. No biggie. I will follow along with the playlist here.
	3:25pm Otis Fodder: Ah, cool to know, will inquire about VLC and titles, thanks Ducky!
	3:26pm Mx. Granny (e/em): The birth of mash-ups!
	3:26pm Remo Di Nunzio: Toronto had a singles club named Xanadu. tables set up with phones on them. if you liked the person at table #5 you could call them lol
	3:34pm ironybread: Has someone already made the important point that "Dancin'" is a proto-mashup and paved the way for mashup artists of the future etc etc? Because too much helpful critical analysis is never enough. Thank you
	3:36pm ironybread: Ah yes, clearly we are all already aware of this concept. Bless us, every one.
	3:37pm Mx. Granny (e/em): hee hee!
	3:37pm Remo Di Nunzio: Still my fav 'mash-up" and the album still my fav soundtrack!
	3:38pm Don-O: Ironybread: It damned well connected, we just don't want to block it out. We're surrounded.....
	3:38pm Don-O: Ah, we're coming up to my favorite Xanadu song!!
	3:41pm Xanadu: was pants
	3:43pm Don-O: I think someone on this chat is drunk already.........'Xanadu'??
	3:44pm Xanadu: i dont touch the stuff
	3:46pm Xanadu: Condorman; now THAT was a movie!
	3:51pm Otis Fodder: First break coming up in about 15 minutes. Broadcasting Live from Montreal with Don-O in New Mexico Zooming in!
	3:53pm Remo Di Nunzio: Yes! Drum Dreams! <3
	3:53pm Xanadu: Break? Napoli just pulled a goal back against Barcelona. They only need 2 more.
	3:54pm Don-O: Perfect BGM for the match, Xanadu!
	3:54pm Hitch in Hashington: OMG! I forgot about this part!
	3:55pm Mx. Granny Udanax (e/em): YES!
	3:55pm Hitch in Hashington: I should be watching the movie with the sound off.
	3:55pm Xanadu: im not gonna be able to un-forget it
	3:56pm Mr Fab: I missed it - what was the mashup?
	3:56pm Mx. Granny Udanax (e/em): Mr. Fab: The Tubes merged with Gene Kelly
	3:56pm Don-O: Oh, Dancin' IronyBread brought this up.
	3:56pm Xanadu: The soundtrack to The Black Hole is way better, altho i will say that this main theme song is a classic.
	3:57pm Don-O: I mean to get the OST to The Hole. Should complete my 1979/80 movie OST collection.
	3:58pm mzzm: didn't michael beck sing with ONJ a one section?
	3:58pm Xanadu: The Hole? No, that was a porno, be careful what u order.
	3:58pm Mr Fab: Yep, John Barry main theme is the best thing about that film.
	3:58pm Don-O: The first of many MANY 'Xanadu's, folks. GET USE TO THEM!!!!!
	3:59pm Mx. Granny Udanax (e/em): i'm ready
	4:00pm Mx. Granny Udanax (e/em): i hope The Chipmunks did a version
	4:00pm Remo Di Nunzio: I was ready back in 1980 when i 1st heard it :p
	4:01pm Mr Fab: All this Xanadu talk reminded me that I have the soundtrack to “The Apple.” should I - DARE I - add tracks from it to the Sheena stream?
	4:01pm Otis Fodder: Yes, please Fab!
	4:01pm Hitch in Hashington: oh yeah, Mr. Fab! Do!
	4:02pm Hitch in Hashington: Sounds like Olivia's stuck in demo mode.
	4:02pm Don-O: Yea, YOU think Xanadu sucks raw eggs, just try The Fucking APPLE!!!
	4:02pm ironybread: Mr. Fab - asking that question is just a gateway to asking a far more dangerous question: "Should I add the Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band movie soundtrack too?"
	4:03pm Xanadu: who was in The Apple?
	4:03pm Don-O: So, Fab you have to lone copy that did get thrown at the screen at the premiere??
	4:03pm Sonderangebot: We just need a Xanadu rap version
	4:04pm Don-O: ...as in NOT get thrown at the screen.....
	4:04pm Mr Fab: Ironybread: nooooooo! Don-O : wow, I actually don’t know where it came from. (Well, from a friend, don’t know where he got it from)
	4:06pm Mr Fab: I used to see the OST for “All This And World War 2” around...
	4:06pm Don-O: Not many people DON'T want to know where that Apple came from.
	4:07pm Hitch in Hashington: I would rather watch ATAWW2 than that insipid newer Beatles musical. What's it called? I've blocked it. My wife and daughter would put it on often.
	4:07pm ironybread: Mr. Fab - "All This and WWII" may be a bridge too far [wait, unwanted extra WWII reference, sorry]
	4:07pm Hitch in Hashington: Beatles songs sung in this over-the-top histrionic singing style and auto-tuned.
	4:08pm Mr Fab: “Yesterday”?
	4:08pm Hitch in Hashington: Yeah, I think?
	4:08pm Xanadu: 2-headed monster
	4:09pm ironybread: "Across the Universe", I believe.
	4:09pm Xanadu: give me the zoom password and ill join the chat
	4:11pm Hitch in Hashington: Yeah, that's it.
	4:12pm Mx. Granny (e/em): The inevitable connection between Bob Dobbs and ONJ
	4:15pm ironybread: That's amazing, you met in the Venn diagram overlap between Negativland and Xanadu...I know that's a legit thing, I'm afraid I'm in it. Where do both of those bands meet best, I wonder? Meat Beat Manifesto, perhaps
	4:16pm Mx. Granny Udanax (e/em): The 5AM showdown is gonna be great around here
	4:16pm Sproutsonic: Greetings from Vancouver Island! We're tuning in as we can 50 lbs of tomatoes today, we're calling it Canadu!
	4:17pm Mx. Granny Udanax (e/em): Sproutsonic: ha ha! that's great. Say hi to the Salish Sea for me. <3
	4:20pm Sonderangebot: Canadu! I love it!
	4:21pm Ken From Hyde Park: Xanadu www.imdb.com... "A struggling artist living in Los Angeles meets a girl who may hold the key to his happiness."
	4:22pm Mx. Granny Udanax (e/em): Xanacthulu
	4:22pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): @Ducky 3:07: The live MP3 stream now identifies the songs!
	4:22pm Don-O: Here's that Medley!!
	4:24pm Remo Di Nunzio: Nice medley!
	4:24pm Xanadu: you got it
	4:25pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Is this Medley an official release? (Sounds like it...)
	4:25pm Hitch in Hashington: Kenzo, you are the proverbial bee's knees!
	4:26pm Don-O: NOPE! This is NOT a official release!
	4:26pm Otis Fodder: Hi Kenzo. Thanks for helping us setup the playlist and show!!
	4:26pm Hitch in Hashington: LOL Mx. Granny!
	4:27pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): So, who's performing the orchestra?
	4:27pm Don-O: Hey, Kenzo. Thanks for the technical push!!
	4:27pm Don-O: Louis Clark is leading the orchestra.
	4:28pm Don-O: ....and Jeff Lynne and the rest of ELO play right along with 'em!
	4:28pm Ducky: Awesome! Seems to be working great.
	4:29pm Remo Di Nunzio: I just realized I've been training for this marathon for 40 years!
	4:31pm ironybread: So the snare drum track is basically operating a noise gate for a recording of Beethoven's 9th - that is interesting.
	4:32pm Don-O: ....or you can slow it down and things get REALLY interesting!!!
	4:33pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): (If anyone needs more Negativland meets ELO after they start experiencing withdrawal tomorrow, I've used Xanadu in my live sound collages a few times, such as in "It's Possible" wfmu.org... and "Act & Move On" wfmu.org...)
	4:34pm Don-O: OH! I will have to check that out later. I know Otis used bits of ELO in his Bran Flakes stuff.
	4:36pm Kitsch in Kashington: It'll be interesting to see what a playlist looks like after 24 hours, scroll-wise.
	4:38pm Xanadu: long, probably
	4:38pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Rock N Soul has pushed things nearly that far already, with tons of graphics to boot. Beat out my 200 samples in 2 hours playlists.
	4:39pm Don-O: Well, how many GIFs can one pile up here. I'm being hypnotized by that Sonny hitting that brick wall.
	4:40pm Don-O: .....and just waiting for a couple on the Popcorn Girl to pop up.
	4:46pm Bananadu: Anyone know what a banana do?
	4:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: Xenomorphadu
	4:47pm Xanadu: a banana rarmers
	4:48pm Bananadu: Mx. Granadu!
	4:49pm Bananadu: Ha there was a writer on that movie?
	4:50pm Mx. Granadu (e/em): Bananadu!!!
	4:50pm Mx. Granadu (e/em): Xanax dude
	4:51pm Don-O: Maybe that's the porn version of Xanadu. I though it would be Xanadu-du
	4:51pm Bananadu: Bananadu is an a peel ing film but the reviews have been split.
	4:53pm Otis Fodder: Solodu!
	4:57pm Bananadu: Did you know Xanadu was based on the Ancient Greek play, RollerMuse?
	5:00pm Nana Doo: Are you boys drinking enough water?
	5:05pm Don-O: Well, I have to, I'm AZ!!!
	5:05pm Otis Fodder: No Nana, could you bring the hose again?
	5:07pm solo mon: Just want to make sure you stay hydrated.
	5:08pm Otis Fodder: Much water and coffee and cookies and plums, all together at once.
	5:09pm Don-O: I don't think I can see J. R. 'Bob' Dobbs dancing to this....maybe pounding bruskies to the beat.
	5:09pm solo mon: “ I really want tonight to last forever “ says ELO
	5:10pm Don-O: Kira is my Bob, Bob is my Kira!! www.deviantart.com...
	5:18pm solo mon: Otis have u tried a nectaplum? I just bought some and I love.

	5:23pm Ladypodtron: Cheers Everyone! Just joined the party. I missed the beginning, I'M SO BUMMED!
	5:26pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Oh fantastic, a separation
	5:26pm Mx. Granny (e/em): solo mon: i saw a Peacotum the other day and backed away slowly…
	5:27pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Is it cheating when you keep leaving the show for a few moments to go watch the opening again?
	5:27pm Don-O: Okay you Karaoke freaks, time to wake up the neighborhood!!
	5:28pm Mx. Granny (e/em): Karaoke freak #1, sir!
	5:28pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): So, this is from 4.1...? ...DVD, or...?
	5:29pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Is there a 5-channel soundtrack I have to go looking for?
	5:29pm ?: Laserdisc?
	5:30pm Don-O: 2008's DVD 5.1 mix.
	5:31pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Fab, it never occurred to me what gems were in the 5.1 mixes, since I only have 2 speakers.
	5:31pm solo mon: Gran- Is that a peach apricot plum? These orchards are gettin freaky!
	5:32pm Mx. Granny (e/em): fuhreeeekeeeee
	5:32pm Mx. Granny (e/em): i'm gonna tell my KJ queerheart these tracks are ready for karaoke!!! This is gonna be the best birthday ever!
	5:36pm Don-O: ECHO.....echo.....ECHO.....
	5:36pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): The time travel channel
	5:37pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): It's too bad he never got the Wilburys to do Xanadu covers.
	5:46pm Remo Di Nunzio: Sheri Spiteri does a great cover of Xanadu
	5:48pm Don-O: Ms. Spiteri will make her appearance soon.
	5:50pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Heaven, these separate channels
	5:50pm Mx. Granny (e/em): fuck yes
	5:54pm Mr Fab: @ladypodtron: yep, the special’s down to its last 23 hours!!
	5:54pm Don-O: 23 hours can go up like THAT!!!
	5:55pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Are you going to start playing each EQ channel separately next?
	5:55pm Kitsch in Kashington: Went for my walk and lost the stream while I walked into and out of the black hole of no coverage.
	5:56pm Kitsch in Kashington: ah. Was listening in my living room area and was wondering what was going on with frequencies and now I get it.
	5:56pm Robert Porter: Wait! What!?
	5:56pm Don-O: Well, we're skipping the surround sound channel as it the music mixed in mono and pushed back. NOT as sexy as the other channels
	5:57pm Don-O: HEY! ROBERT! you got my e-mail! Welcome to the insanity!!!!
	5:58pm Robert Porter: Where are the ONJ 5.1 mixes?
	6:00pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): (I keep thinking it's going to be Psycho Killer when The Fall starts)
	6:00pm Don-O: Oh, the ONJ stuff is coming up later.....we're playing directly from your UX discs for right now.
	6:00pm Otis Fodder: Hi Robert! Great to read you here, it's Magic!
	6:01pm Remo Di Nunzio: This entire event is absolutely amazing! Hats off to everyone involved!
	6:03pm Mx. Granny (e/em): OK this is crazy good
	6:08pm BC Sterrett: Oh wow, the playlist is working now!
	6:12pm Mx. Granny (e/em): Thank you, Robert!
	6:12pm Sonderangebot: Granny! Look at our avatars!
	6:12pm Mx. Granny (e/em): HA HA!!!
	6:12pm Ladypodtron: I am in Xanadu! Time has stopped and I am loving every minute of it!
	6:12pm Mx. Granny (e/em): Peek-a-Du!
	6:14pm Cp304: Good evening peoples, I finally made it.
	6:16pm BC Sterrett: The Xanadu Preservation Society archived one of my Xanadu Fest fliers :) I hosted it for about 7 years. I stopped when people started coming from out of state and I felt bad that we didn't have any of the actors that they were hoping to see etc.
	6:18pm Cp304: This Xanadu thing is new to me, I don’t think I ever heard of it
	6:18pm Robert Porter: Thanks for the call outs! I just put together the gigantic Ultimate Xanadu collection a few years ago. Anything and everything Xanadu related (audio wise) that I could find from the movie.
	6:20pm Robert Porter: Cp304... hope you enjoy the madness!
	6:21pm Cp304: I’m strapping in Robert. Just got home from work, plan on showering and riding it out. I’ll record extra back up also in a few.
	6:24pm Mx. Granny (e/em): i agree with that disco movie ranking, and i'm the same age as Otis
	6:30pm Robert Porter: Don, I have several recordings of ELO, or rather Jeff Lynne's ELO, performing both Xanadu and All Over The World from the Hyde Park show in 2014 to the 2019 concert. More to add to UX!
	6:31pm Robert Porter: Again, thanks for the kind words.
	6:32pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Wow, 1999? Sounds great!
	6:32pm Robert Porter: And the bass player, Kelly Groucutt, is pronounced "Grow-Cut".
	6:33pm Remo Di Nunzio: She sounds amazing!
	6:33pm Mx. Granny (e/em): when i was a kid, i watched Solid Gold, The Muppet Show and disco movies with the exact same attitude—it was all fantasy fodder for this budding queerdo
	6:33pm Don-O: Oh, this live track was recorded at Trumps place in Atlantic City. Sorry to remind people about that sad fact
	6:34pm Don-O: Thanks, Robert. I always had trouble pronouncing Kelly's name.
	6:36pm Robert Porter: I think of it like a haircut. It grows, then you cut it. Grow-Cut.
	6:36pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): John Farrar to the rescue again
	6:36pm Don-O: Robert, I did add Jeff's ELO Wembly Xanadu tracks in UX 26. I'll e-mail you later about the rest.
	6:36pm solo mon: Mx I was obsessed w dance fever too with Danny terrio and “motion”
	6:36pm BC Sterrett: Loved hearing you talk about it Don-O :)
	6:37pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): The warbling minor notes in this song defined the whole year for me.
	6:37pm solo mon: Waylon Flowers and Madame on Solid Gold drove me crazy( in a good way?)
	6:37pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): OMG Dance Fever
	6:38pm Don-O: The older Olivia get, the more her voice sounds sexier!!
	6:38pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Waiting patiently for the soundboard ONJ vocal channel on these 1999 recordings.
	6:38pm solo mon: She sounds a little koala blue to me ;-)
	6:39pm Mx. Granny (e/em): Dance Fever! i had some rather strong opinions, considering myself quite an expert on choreography!
	6:40pm Otis Fodder: Slow dance, everybody out on the floor.
	6:40pm solo mon: No grinding!
	6:40pm Cp304: I’ve not showered yet Otis, not proper
	6:41pm Otis Fodder: Kenzo - Like the Lynda McCartney isolated track of Hey Jude.
	6:41pm BC Sterrett: My wife and I are slow dancing as we clean the kitchen :)
	6:41pm Robert Porter: I have several live recordings of Suddenly too, that we can add to future versions of UX. When you email me, I'll provide the details. Personally, I love the surround channel version of this tune. Some weird little bits going on in the background that normally can't be heard.
	6:41pm Don-O: She finally released a Live In Las Vegas double CD 4 or 5 years ago.....and she covers Cry Me A River. Perfect!
	6:41pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): @Otis But opposite! Sound good!
	6:41pm Otis Fodder: Ha, Cp, me too!
	6:42pm Otis Fodder: Totally Kenzo, love ONJ.
	6:42pm Don-O: This can't be a 'FMU chat room without somebody mentioning Linda McCarney's vocal "talent"
	6:43pm solo mon: Remember how ONJ husband “disappeared” and she thought he was dead:-(
	6:43pm Remo Di Nunzio: i think he faked his own death :(
	6:43pm solo mon: Yeah that was weird.
	6:44pm Don-O: I just remembered Dance Fever had a couple dancing to Whenever You're Away From Me in 1981
	6:44pm Sonderangebot: Otis is starting to look delirious!
	6:45pm Robert Porter: Don't pick on Linda. She was able to manage Paul's massive egol
	6:45pm Don-O: Oh, that disappearance?! THAT was hilarious!!! Who knew Olivia gad a 'stalker' side of her personality. Straight outta a John Waters movie.
	6:45pm solo mon: Sondy quick feed him a plum or a pluot? Anyways, pluots and prayers.
	6:45pm Otis Fodder: Sondy.... I am, 20 more hours of silly here.
	6:46pm Don-O: Linda McCatney is up there with Tiny Tim and Wild Man Fischer around here in WFMUland.
	6:46pm solo mon: I heard Netflix was doing a gritty re boot of Xanadu except it tells the story of Olivia’s husbands disappearing
	6:47pm solo mon: Linda McCatney Meee owwwch
	6:47pm Don-O: HA! I'd watch THAT!, solo
	6:48pm Robert Porter: C'est la vie. Parlez vous, cup of tea?
	6:48pm Don-O: I'm Alive doesn't gt much attention.......
	6:48pm Kenzo (Ken's Last Ever): Who's singing this?
	6:49pm Otis Fodder: When I saw ELO 2 in Reno in like 1995, it was Kelly from the band doing most lead vox from what I recall. Maybe Bev too?
	6:49pm Robert Porter: That's Kelly Groucutt on lead vocals.
	6:49pm BC Sterrett: I'm listening to a Live recording of I'm Alive, on LIVe Radio with a Live chat room! This is my favorite Xana song.
	6:50pm Don-O: I believe it's Kelly singing lead on that one.
	6:50pm Ima Live: I do love a medley.
	6:50pm Remo Di Nunzio: Xanatastic!
	6:51pm Ima Live: Hopefully no one here is xanaphobic.
	6:53pm Don-O: Eric Taylor is singing lead on this one.....
