	3:11pm David in London: TDK, been back to the ancestral village, with slightly unreliable WiFi signal, for a week and hence off the boards here. Glad you like what I sent my man, thanks. Ron partied through the medium of fuzz. Hey Handy!
	3:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Stooges summa my top Favorite Gittar. Don't know why that isn't more widely expressed...
	♥ 3:13pm mariano: Ancestral village... are you in fact Cheddar Man, David?
	🎸 ♥ 3:13pm Handy Haversack: David, happy to have No Fun with you! We are cleaning and prepping for departure over here, too.
	3:13pm David in London: Hey Mariano!
	🎸 ♥ 3:14pm Rev. Turnip Druid: wow, this Link Wray is a perfect mash of riffs between The Cars "cruiser" and PTV's "just like arcadia" .. how is that possible..?
	🎸 ♥ 3:14pm Rev. Turnip Druid: also: hello.
	♥ 3:14pm mariano: What's up David!

	3:18pm David in London: Mariano, it’s party time in Cheddar Land... Handy, you skipping town? Where to?

	3:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DMT place
	🎸 ♥ 3:18pm mrdonutsu: Holé Molé
	♥ 3:19pm dave wuz here: it's all hits all day
	3:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 1966
	3:19pm David in London: Much as I love him, I’m not entirely convinced that Roky should ever have been driving heavy vehicles.
	3:20pm WM: The Stooges, Pere Ubu and now 13th Floor Elevators. If this keeps up I'll have no more brain cells by the end of the show.
	3:20pm Ghetto Pastrami: I lived around the corner from him for a while and didn't know
	🎸 ♥ 3:20pm Handy Haversack: Update, David, about 3.5 hrs north of the city. Coincidentally, just down the road from where our own Mr. Pumpy has a getaway place! We are going meet the mother of the legend!
	🎸 ♥ 3:21pm mrdonutsu: It may be this Fabio imposter guy - who runs around calling himself "Mr. Sharpe" - there in the picture. Or perhaps it's the inverse of that.
	3:21pm Listener Robert: This must be that Fablo show I've read so much about lately.
	3:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Elevators' code in mid1960s Texas was to not play or record unless tripping. Except the drummer. Even the Grateful Dead were incredulous reportedly.
	🎸 ♥ 3:21pm chresti: This is perfect bummer summer music.
	🎸 ♥ 3:22pm Handy Haversack: *Er, "upstate, David"^^
	🎸 ♥ 3:22pm Rev. Turnip Druid: This set has been a medical necessity for a long time.
	3:23pm David in London: Thanks for the upstate update Handy. Sounds grand. How long are you going for? A change of scenery sure did me good.
	♥ 3:25pm Chop Scott: Sounding great Fabio!
	♥ 3:25pm slugluv1313: greetings, Fabio, Skeleton Crew, Everyone! happy to be part of Summer FAILURE! Fabio, you look positively DEMONIC in that photograph -- so cool! like a still from a color-oversaturated Ken Russell film -- ??
	♥ 3:26pm Ike: Oh man, getting away to a cabin, or a lean-to, or a rustic heap upstate sounds really good right about now.
	♥ 3:27pm chris_in_space: @Revolution Rabbit I read as much re: Elevators code in Paul Drummond's great book, "Eye Mind." One of the best rock bios I've ever read. The Elevators made the bands from San Fran look like poseurs!
	♥ 3:27pm slugluv1313: @ Handy -- happy travels! please give warm HELLOs to Mr. Pumpy! btw -- guessing i had not heard them b/c i am on the fourth floor here? but i hear TONS of crickets when i am walking about in the evenings :)
	🎸 ♥ 3:28pm Carmichael: Heya Fabs and embracers of failure. Smoke and ash are the overriding themes to my city today.
	🎸 ♥ 3:29pm Rev. Turnip Druid: GREAT SNEEZING JESUS, that hexlove thing.
	♥ 3:30pm mariano: 3.5 hours north of the city... you going up around Saratoga Springs, Handy?
	♥ 3:31pm spodiodi: rev rabbit must be having a moment :) "rawk"
	3:31pm bLeubomberune b: Bonjour Fabio
	3:32pm David in London: Greetings Monsieur Carmichael.
	🎸 ♥ 3:32pm Carmichael: Aloha, David!
	3:33pm wfmu listener phillip: tell me about it @fabio. the clash. the police. the cars. wish they were still around today
	3:33pm nick: U see a good amount of WFMU tshirts n stickers up here in Hudson - very welcoming
	🎸 ♥ 3:34pm PaulRobeson1920: 130th floor elevators?
	3:34pm Miss G: Oh, oh, speaking of cassettes, does anyone know a good device to put my cassette music onto my laptop?
	🎸 ♥ 3:35pm Handy Haversack: slugluv, alas, Mr. P won't be up there. He's confined to New Jersey by circumstances. David, we're going up Fri.-Wed. Tue. is the lovely Kate's bday, and she really wanted to go away for it. I think the dog is also excited, but he's hard to read! Not exactly, Mariano -- sort of on the way to Cooperstown! Hobart, NY, on the W. Branch of the Delaware.
	3:35pm ami ad: Hello DJ. Hello all. A fine day to fail it is.
	♥ 3:35pm βrian: I once spent a month on Saratoga Lake. Nice land around there, but the lake was too damn crowded.
	3:36pm P-90: When it comes to Kraut Rock acts, sometimes the more obscure, the better.
	3:37pm Miss G: re: the Great Link Wray, maybe we said it before, but the PBS docu "Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked the World" is streaming on Azn. Prime.
	🎸 ♥ 3:37pm Rev. Turnip Druid: another conny plank winner, this.
	♥ 3:38pm spodiodi: thank you, Miss G! noted!
	♥ 3:38pm slugluv1313: @ Handy -- ah, apologies! mis-read your earlier comment (and yes, i was wondering about that, remembering Mr. Pumpy's situation)
	3:39pm David in London: Miss G, don’t know if they’re available in the States, but I used a small Ion USB tape machine and it did the job pretty well.
	♥ 3:39pm slugluv1313: now for some reason at the mention of "Saratoga," i cannot get The Odd Couple's version of "You're So Vain" outta my head
	🎸 ♥ 3:41pm chresti: Carmichael, pretty lousy air down here, too.
	🎸 ♥ 3:41pm Handy Haversack: It's funny -- Mr. Pumpy and I have hung out and played games every Sunday since April and every other Saturday since the beginning of July, but we have never met in person!
	3:42pm Miss G: David in London, thanks so much for the brand name, Ion seems to be in US -- I'm so paranoid about the tapes getting damaged. . .
	♥ 3:42pm slugluv1313: and wracking my brain, trying to remember if i did indeed experience a Circle X performance, especially during their Eros/Liotta collaboration days . . .
	🎸 ♥ 3:42pm PaulRobeson1920: Skidmore College is up in Saratoga, a very popular university for southern planters to send their kids for the summer. If you find yourself over that way, look at the buildings near the college. They speak to an age in Saratoga Springs. The Lincoln Bath House is cool too, in the Saratoga State Park.
	3:44pm David in London: Handy, do give my regards to the Pumpmeister when you next speak to him. Miss G, some of my tapes were quite ancient and I didn’t lose any during the transfer. Good luck!
	3:45pm Miss G: OK and one more dumb question to the cognoscenti Failurites, some kind of app to "listen" to the songs and tell me what it is? i.e. I don't know the name of the song.
	🎸 ♥ 3:46pm chresti: The WFMU app?
	3:47pm Miss G: chresti, it's some kind of magic musical service. . .L I saw my niece do it!
	♥ 3:48pm spodiodi: Carmichael, chresti -- same here but MUUUUCH better than yesterday (or the day before, at least by day's end.) Yesterday we had the windows, blinds, and curtains closed all day long. so stuffy. Windows now open, but it's still kinda stinky.
	3:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I copped 'Rawk' off Julian Cope's mighty website when that was a sustaining oasis - tho he probably applied it more specifically. Just get bored with 'Rock' ...same with Cool & Kewl... See 'Rumble' absolutely! Validating to me - & a buzz. Good double bill maybe with 'The King' using Elvis as metaphor for Murika ...but problem with Good Double Bills is I actually never sit through two...
	🎸 ♥ 3:49pm Handy Haversack: How far off from you all are the various fires, spod, chresti, Carm?
	♥ 3:49pm TDK60: Sorry to hear about all those fires Chresti, Carm, Spodi. I heard they number 367.
	🎸 ♥ 3:49pm Handy Haversack: Miss G, like Shazaam?
	♥ 3:50pm mariano: Ah, I see, Handy. Not familiar with that area but I had a friend in Saratoga I used to visit, we'd sometimes go to Lake George. Beautiful part of the state. And yeah PaulRobeson, Saratoga's an interesting town.
	♥ 3:50pm spodiodi: in in SF propa... let me find a (horrifying) map graphic from yesterday...
	3:51pm Miss G: Handy oh thank you. I was going to say "it's like a Genie/djinn who knows your song. . ." yes, that must be it. I hope it works on these DJ sets on cassette. And to all in the SF area, Good Vibrations to all.
	♥ 3:52pm spodiodi: Handy: wfmu.org... (stolen yestrday from the terrible local rag)
	♥ 3:52pm mariano: Yeah, what Handy said. Up until very recently you could type "What song is this" into the Google search bar and it would basically do like Shazaam, but they stopped doing it for some reason. Spodi: heat wave in San Francisco in the summer? That is odd. One thing I miss about living there was the cool weather. Great for walking and biking.
	♥ 3:52pm chris: hi Fabio and folks. the Masaki Batoh is a banger. and, air quality and ash bad here, too. wind has been mostly favorable, but today... sigh. we're about a crow's four miles from 1500 acre 0% contained fire in Pt Reyes Natl Seashore.
	🎸 ♥ 3:52pm Devin B.: Intersystems!
	♥ 3:53pm spodiodi: hi chris! thanks for the report... been wondering about everyone localish to me
	🎸 ♥ 3:54pm chresti: Oh no, chris!
	♥ 3:54pm spodiodi: mariano, it's all relative. i've been trying to keep quiet while everyone else is melting.... we had a couple of 85-ish high temp days here (when carm was seeing 107, for example.)
	♥ 3:55pm chris: saw a photo in the chronicle of the air quality yesterday in the bay. holy shit. yeah, chresti... wind coming our way is not good. but the fire still has a long way to come before we're threatened.
	♥ 3:55pm spodiodi: i generally throw a fir if we hit 80 (this is a big part of why i moved to sf)
	🎸 ♥ 3:55pm Carmichael: @chris, I'm between the fires in Vacaville and Nevada County. Pretty (un)healthy dose of smoke for the last few days, getting worse it seems.
	3:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lived in Santa Barbara 16 years - the feels yerknow...
	♥ 3:56pm chris: absolutely hellish up there, Carm. ugh.
	♥ 3:57pm spodiodi: SB make me think of my littlebrudda, RevRab. nice place, SB (he went to ucsb)
	♥ 3:57pm Rtintera: love this
	♥ 3:58pm spodiodi: fit* not fir flex
	♥ 3:58pm mariano: spodiodi (@3:55) - Wow, you must be strong! ;)
	♥ 3:58pm mariano: Damn, you beat me to the punch!
	♥ 3:58pm βrian: When it gets too hot here, I throw a spruce bough.
	♥ 3:58pm spodiodi: wiseguy ;)
	♥ 3:59pm spodiodi: s
	♥ 3:59pm mariano: Wiseguy? I was gonna suggest you sign up for the Highland Games.
	♥ 3:59pm TDK60: It's a fine day in NYC, clear air, not too hot. 83F.
	♥ 3:59pm spodiodi: u+03B2rian ;)
	♥ 3:59pm slugluv1313: @ chris, chresti, spodiodi, Carmichael, other California dwellers -- every day i have been hearing reports on the fires, highest recorded temperature ever in Death Valley, blistering heat waves -- all the time wishing that i could somehow send you the genuinely nice weather we have been having here (NYC/NJ area)
	♥ 4:00pm spodiodi: i'd lose at the log rolling thing, mariano. however, the speed sawing always makes me dream
	♥ 4:01pm spodiodi: i have my usual hoodie on and about to close windows because chilly currently 67 degrees f here
	♥ 4:01pm Hubig Pie: That Myrrors track was mightee fine indeed
	🎸 ♥ 4:02pm chresti: Spodi, in sf, no one has ac. So 80s, 90s is very uncomfortable.
	4:02pm David in London: Spodiodi, I think you have it in you to become a champion at curling.
	♥ 4:02pm βrian: At 60 degrees, I'm out in the hammock.
	4:03pm brainiac: @slugluv1313: Appreciate the sentiment from hellscape that is the north central valley of Calif.
	♥ 4:03pm spodiodi: amen, chresti. i'm i can't stand The Heat. that's why i must still be here, despite being really tired of much of the less pleasant stuff that has evolved over the past 26years
	♥ 4:03pm chris: thanks, slugluv! :) <3
	4:04pm Woo: Time, he's waiting in the wings, and so on....
	4:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Btw a bitchen Elevators is their Avalon 1966 S.F. show as on a YouTube...
	🎸 ♥ 4:04pm chresti: Thanks slugluv, we'll take whatever you send this way.
	4:04pm Tomas: Fabs!
	♥ 4:04pm mariano: Curling, yes - talk about a nice, cool environment. Maybe I'll try to open a curlink (rink?) in New Orleans, but it'd be a big hit in summer.
	♥ 4:04pm spodiodi: spodi "spaghetti arms" odi they call me, David iL ;)
	♥ 4:05pm mariano: "You too can have all this!"
	4:06pm Ghetto Pastrami: Sriracha almonds are what's happening now
	4:06pm David in London: Mariano, sign me up.
	♥ 4:06pm spodiodi: is it very sticky today, mariano? man, i love NO, but i dunno if i could ever live there (as mentioned a while ago, it was a close runner-up before i moved here)
	♥ 4:06pm steveo: ✓
	♥ 4:06pm spodiodi: sign me uo too, mariano. i need to get in shape for the highlands
	4:07pm Tomas: Saw a Wim Wenders movie for the first time that touches on time and death, etc.--A Shooting in Palermo"--I liked it a lot
	♥ 4:07pm spodiodi: i'll use my private plane to zip on down
	🎸 ♥ 4:09pm PaulRobeson1920: A fine, finee day in NYC
	♥ 4:10pm mariano: David, you can run the Runza racket at the rink. And no, spodi, it's been a surprisingly mild summer overall. Still pretty humid but there's usually a nice breeze. Sorry to hear about the hellish weather you and the other Accufornians are enduring.
	4:10pm David in London: Spodiodi, can you pick me up on the way?
	🎸 ♥ 4:11pm Carmichael: Gotta run, good luck all.
	♥ 4:11pm spodiodi: np, David! please send coords at will
	♥ 4:11pm mariano: Take care and stay safe Carm!
	♥ 4:12pm spodiodi: see ya, Carmichael. hope it lets up for you soon
	♥ 4:12pm TDK60: Carm, wear a mask for 2 reasons.
	♥ 4:14pm slugluv1313: take care, Carmichael!
	♥ 4:14pm spodiodi: (is he the Lone Ranger?)
	4:15pm Miss G: Tomas I was wondering about that Wim Wenders film, you liked it? Maybe I'll check it out.
	4:16pm ?: bye
	🎸 ♥ 4:18pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Only familiar with Wenders' two big road films (alice in the cities & kings of the road) -- perfect sprawling epics totally devoid of plot. More films should be like this.
	4:19pm David in London: Mariano, cool! I’ll need Handy as my strong-arm man.
	🎸 ♥ 4:19pm Lixiviated Life: What is it like to sleep and never wake up? What is it like to wake up having never slept? The leaf The bud The flower The fruit The seed The leaf
	4:20pm Miss G: Rev. Turnip Druid, my favorite WW is "The State of Things" but it is hard to find. . .I don't understand why. But this one "Palermo" is supposed to be like the road films you mentioned, so. . .
	🎸 ♥ 4:20pm Handy Haversack: Got distracted with feeding the birds and chatting with a neighbor, but DAMN, spod! That's intense.
	♥ 4:21pm spodiodi: si si. to the limit, Handy
	♥ 4:23pm spodiodi: (please give Bagpipe a thumbs-up for me, and have a good adventure with he and Kate! be safe)
	♥ 4:24pm steveo: Hi Handy, I thought of you today as I biked over Newtown Creek, twice. No small craft were observed in use, however.
	4:24pm Miss G: What a groovy set this is. Perfect soundtrack to mentally traveling to Saratoga Springs, to the windy wildfires in CA, then to the humid N.O.. . .and back to the HotBox (which always reminds me of "Guys and Dolls.")
	♥ 4:24pm mariano: David: he'd have to change his name to Fisty. Or maybe Stabby. At least at work.
	🎸 ♥ 4:24pm PaulRobeson1920: Nice
	4:26pm David in London: Mariano, what’s in the haversack? A cudgel and several switchblades... “I don’t get tough with people. Stabby does.”
	♥ 4:29pm mariano: Haha! Maybe something more vague though, like Boom Boom. Or Stab Stab. Whoops.
	4:29pm WM: @Miss. G.: I think Wender's best film is The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick, which is based on the novel by Peter Handke. A few nights ago I got very lucky and saw on Cinephobe.tv Handke's film adaptation of his own novel Left Handed Woman (which was produced by Wenders).
	♥ 4:32pm mariano: What David Lynch movie is that deranged-looking cowboy in the photo from? Looks like the Big Tuna section of "Wild at Heart."
	🎸 ♥ 4:32pm Handy Haversack: Hey, steveo! Would have been a nice day for it!
	♥ 4:32pm steveo: indeed!
	🎸 ♥ 4:33pm Lixiviated Life: Things are terrible only if you believe that you really exist.
	♥ 4:33pm mariano: "My dawwwg... barkss... some."
	🎸 ♥ 4:33pm Handy Haversack: If you find yourself biking over the creek again and want to have a friendly outdoor beverage or anything, send up a flare! We are close by.
	♥ 4:34pm spodiodi: mariano, every day should be a day with a WaH reference.... one of my fave parts (and actors/chars)
	♥ 4:34pm TDK60: I'm relatively not too wacky after 5 months in this apt. My roommates moved out. I'm furloughed from work. My radio works though.
	♥ 4:35pm spodiodi: i'm going to get a mariano's curling tattoo to show my thanks
	♥ 4:35pm steveo: thanks Handy, good idea!
	4:35pm brainiac: "You'll see me one more time if you do good. You'll see me two more times if you do bad." -Fabio
	🎸 ♥ 4:36pm PaulRobeson1920: George Taki
	4:36pm Miss G: brainiac: perfect caption to the photo!
	🎸 ♥ 4:36pm joe mulligan: Hi all! @Steveo and @Handy I'm recovering from a knee injury but would be happy to join you turning the pedals a little in a few weeks
	♥ 4:37pm spodiodi: the trouble with covids
	4:37pm David in London: “Those are dummies, dummy...”
	♥ 4:37pm spodiodi: red shirts are fucked
	♥ 4:37pm Matt Warwick: Star Trek: The Next Generation is NOT junk FABIO!
	♥ 4:38pm steveo: sure joe, drop a line when you are able
	4:38pm Miss G: WM thanks, maybe Cinephobe will play "Left Handed Woman" again. PS Re: Star Trek, Fabio, what would be true to the future would be if Scotty used Duct Tape! Always in Fashion!
	4:38pm David in London: The dilithium crystals, they cannae take it Captain.
	🎸 ♥ 4:39pm Handy Haversack: Joe, I am happy to provide an outdoor meeting place for the N. Brooklyn part of the ride! (I don't actually know how to ride a bike ...)
	🎸 ♥ 4:39pm Stanley: And there's always new fella, we've never seen before. i wonder what'll happen to him. And hello.
	♥ 4:39pm βrian: I wanted some of Scotty's single-malt.
	♥ 4:40pm mariano: Haha spodi! Mariano's Creole Curling Parlor. ROTFL brainiac! That is one of my favorite scenes of all time. TDK: hats off to anyone who can go through all this with other people in the house. Feel very fortunate to live alone (though I could probably do a creditable Jack Torrance in a dinner-theater production of "The Shining."
	🎸 ♥ 4:41pm joe mulligan: sounds cool @Handy and Steveo
	♥ 4:41pm βrian: Six-year-old started riding in April. I psyched her out by saying flatly that she already knew how to ride. She protested; I insisted. And then she got on her bike and rode.
	4:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Shee-it man - in the 23rd Century we'll have pocket sized communicators you can talk into !! ...just one inch thick...
	4:42pm ami ad: Many years ago,a co worker used to yell out the truck window,my name is Ami and I live alone,the prophecy has been fulfilled.
	♥ 4:42pm mariano: And here's that missing parenthesis: )
	♥ 4:42pm tim from champaign (now washington): I used to work at a large midwestern university library. One of my jobs was processing donated materials to see if it should be added to the collection. One time someone anonymously dropped off a plastic grocery bag full of Star Trek fan fiction zines from the 70s. It was awesome to look at. There were all sorts of intergalactic love stories including trysts between Spock and Kirk.
	🎸 ♥ 4:43pm Handy Haversack: Dang, tim, I hope that made the collection and was catalogued. I'm sure the NYU rare books library's Downtown Collection would have taken it.
	4:43pm WM: Miss G: Send Cinephobe a request and ask for LHW. I'd love to see it again, too. Cinephobe tv: AltmansHashPipe@gmail.com
	4:43pm Miss G: mariano I think we can all do a Jack Torrance after so much indoor-time. Sometimes after five days of never using my vocal cords I begin typing "all work and no play" and then do use them to say out loud "Danny's not here Mrs. Torrance. . ."
	🎸 ♥ 4:44pm Handy Haversack: We have always been the caretaker.
	♥ 4:44pm tim from champaign (now washington): @Handy - it was! It didn't make the rare books room but it is catalogued and accessible.
	♥ 4:45pm Ike: Star Trek: TNG, DS9, Farscape, The Expanse... all shows with really wobbly first seasons (downright terrible in the case of TNG) but they all became great. In the era of streaming, it's worth mentioning because everybody starts from the beginning and watches in order instead of catching a random one in syndicated reruns. But if you do that w/TNG then you see the worst episodes first and you get a terrible impression of the show.
	4:45pm Miss G: WM I will send cinephobe a request! Thanks
	🎸 ♥ 4:45pm Stanley: Hi David. How was dinner the other night?
	♥ 4:47pm TDK60: Thanks for the sympathy Mariano. Roomies lost jobs, left. I don't mind being alone, and I see some siblings about weekly. But I have started talking to myself.
	4:48pm Miss G: Ike re: TNG maybe people should begin with the BORG?! (I saw the Borg Queen's third film appearance the other day as the ingenue in "A Tale of Two Cities.")
	🎸 ♥ 4:48pm Handy Haversack: Nice! My work is library adjacent, but I have catholic tastes in what should go in! I can't imagine having gone through all this without Kate. I mean, when we do have a dust-up, our tiny apt. seems really tiny. But having someone have my back through this has also been crucial. Plus, it would have been weird if we'd each spent five months with just half a dog!
	♥ 4:49pm tim from champaign (now washington): @Miss G - seek help if Lloyd offers you a drink on the house.
	4:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...think maybe we've left the phase everyone's applying Ambient as a topical ointment for nerves & madness ...& now everything is unending labyrinthine variations on expressions of shock reactions & anxiety ?? Or ...just listening to Fabio...
	🎸 ♥ 4:49pm Handy Haversack: Definitely begin TNG with "Darmok and Gelaad at Tenagra" and play the drinking game. When the walls fell. Also, the one where they de-evolve and ape Riker flicks off the camera. Gold, Jerry!
	♥ 4:50pm mariano: Lol Miss G! The really scary part is that I think I'm starting to turn into Mr. Ullman. TDK: I talk to myself all the time, welcome to the tribe!
	4:51pm breaking weather news!!!: Lee Goldberg of Wabc 7. predicts the saturday night temperature will be 733° degrees Fahrenheit.
	4:51pm Miss G: tim from WA if I get spooky I just put on DVDs of AbFab and then it is Patsy who offers me a Boli/Stoli on the house!
	4:51pm David in London: Hey Stanley. Oh man, it was amazing. Went to a top notch Japanese place in Baker Street. Incredible food. And rather a lot of saki too...
	4:52pm nic: love this!!!
	🎸 ♥ 4:52pm chresti: I like need a this.
	🎸 ♥ 4:53pm chresti: I mean it's hot.
	4:53pm Miss G: OK, this Vertonen is this weeks "zeitgeist of the week" like last week's Necks was.
	♥ 4:53pm βrian: I've always thought talking to oneself is useful for screening irrational thoughts. A seemingly sound thought may be revealed as downright kooky when spoken aloud.
	🎸 ♥ 4:53pm joe mulligan: does anyone know of the other film site out there that's kind of like cinephobe? robet emmett was talking about it on sister station kfjc the other week.
	4:53pm wfmu listener phillip: NOW THATS WHAT I CAME TO HEAR. what's playing now
	♥ 4:54pm slugluv1313: hah! i talk to myself AND the cats all the time too! true, things are far from perfect -- but really really grateful that the person who was living here is GONE (in other words -- the exact opposite of what you and Kate have, @Handy!)
	♥ 4:55pm βrian: There's Kanopy, but the content all depends on a subscribing institution's subscription. Via my university, it's basically useless, sadly.
	🎸 ♥ 4:56pm joe mulligan: it was something like expo .tv or something.
	🎸 ♥ 4:56pm Stanley: David, that sounds great. Love Japanese food and saki. Could never get my mind round warm saki, though. I've been thinking of how to do my 'first' foray into a restaurant. Thanks to my partner moving in since March, I've been vegetarian. I need some meat.
	4:56pm Fabio: @Joe: Check out HDFY. Not free, but on demand and has an interesting selection
	🎸 ♥ 4:57pm joe mulligan: oh cool, thanks Fab!
	♥ 4:57pm βrian: Warming can improve cheap sake. But the good stuff is best at room temperature, or maybe slightly cool.
	♥ 5:01pm mariano: Is that sake bar Decibel still around in the East Village? Don't know sake very well at all, but I had some good ones there. Some you drink out of a square box, never knew what the distinction was. And nobody would tell me. Fuckers. Oh, sorry, where was I..?
	5:01pm David in London: Stanley. It was a really enjoyable blast of normality to just sit across the table and talk. Huge amounts of good food obviously helped, too. Get yourself out there my man.
	5:01pm Miss G: mariano, re: Shining/Mr. Ullman, did you see the docu "Room 237?" There's something about him in there but I can't recall.
	♥ 5:03pm tim from champaign (now washington): I got to see Broadcast once. It was fantastic.
	5:03pm Jeezuseffinchrist: whattt???? that's awful
	♥ 5:03pm common: so love broadcast. miss her so much. hi fabio and all!
	♥ 5:04pm TDK60: Yeh, too bad about Broadcast's singer.
	5:04pm winston legthigh: @miss g, jumping on a bit late here but if u have an android phone, embedded in the google app is a widget called sound search which is amazing. in 5 secs u get the song, artist, label, and of course the option to make a purchase. hi/bye failures!
	5:04pm HexFamChan: LOVE Broadcast too
	♥ 5:04pm mariano: I saw it a few years ago, Miss G. I don't remember anything about Ullman specifically, but I've read that the film originally had an ending where Wendy and Danny are in a hospital and Ullman shows up to comfort them or something. Yes, Broadcast forever. That is such an effed-up story.
	5:04pm text: text
	5:05pm Miss G: winston legthigh, thanks so much! I know a friend with an Android phone, maybe it will work!
	5:05pm David in London: Miss G, I think with Ullman, it’s that penis-papertray theory.
	🎸 ♥ 5:06pm Stanley: Thanks David. The last restaurant I ate at was Franklin's Social in Jersey City. I can still taste that chicken.
	5:06pm wfmu listener phillip: @FABIO her name was TRISH KEENAN. and she was in Australia when she contracted the BIRD FLU.
	5:06pm bLeubomberune b: At least Dr. McCoy could treat a mediical condition with his scanner
	5:06pm Miss G: D in L, um, guess I forgot that theory! L
	5:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: A Really Enjoyable Blast of Normality
	🎸 ♥ 5:08pm PaulRobeson1920: Park the lorry
	♥ 5:08pm mariano: Every now and then I get directed to Mubi, which I don't know how they're doing their thing, but I've seen a couple of things surprisingly free, no sign-up. There must be something dodgy about it though.
	5:08pm wfmu listener phillip: I LOVE THE BAND BROADCAST!. no smak talk about it. Trish Keenan had a lovely voice
	🎸 ♥ 5:11pm diciassette: Did someone say make a martini? Mubi has 30 rolling films in paid subscription. I know it's time to watch the movie when it's expiring at midnight. Mubi Library is a different animal.. cinephobe.tv: La ragazza con la pistola comes on at 00:01!
	5:13pm brainiac: @Miss G: David in London is correct. He (Ullman) was supposed to represent the US government (noting the Kennedyesque hairstyle). The scene was supposed to be Kubric's reenactment of the deal he made to fake the moon landing in which he (Kubric) felt he had been dominated and coerced into (penis/papertray).
	5:13pm Miss G: mariano, I signed up for MUBI for a month, saw an amazing film "Dawson City: Frozen Time" with recovered silent films made by the great Bill Morrison ("Decasia.") But most of the films were "too much of the muchness" for me right now.
	🎸 ♥ 5:14pm Stanley: @mariano: I signed up to mubi for a few years. Their programming just got more and more obscure arthouse for me. In the end it wasn't good value but for six quid, I think, you could, in theory, watch thirty films.
	5:15pm David in London: I think Penis Papertray might be name of my new band.
	🎸 ♥ 5:16pm Handy Haversack: Gotta hop off in a few -- but thanks, Fabio!
	5:16pm Miss G: diciassette, does La ragazza con la pistola have that great song "girl with a gun?" (really dumb question. That song is on one of the cassettes I am duping)
	♥ 5:16pm mariano: Oh no no no, I'm such a dolt! It's Tubi, not Mubi. Sorry. David: It's a very alliterative name, like SOME people's...
	5:16pm Noboru Wataya: Beautiful
	♥ 5:16pm coelacanth∅: greetings Fabio and utter failures
	♥ 5:18pm TDK60: See ya Handy.
	🎸 ♥ 5:18pm Stanley: mariano: just don't sign up to Bubi.
	5:19pm David in London: Hey Coela.
	♥ 5:19pm mariano: Coela! Miss G, Stanley, et al: I was looking for this movie from Vanuatu called "Tanna" and couldn't find it anywhere except Tubi, still on there: www.google.com...
	🎸 ♥ 5:19pm diciassette: Miss G, don't remember! There is Monica Vitti acting over the top Sicilian..
	♥ 5:20pm βrian: Monica Vitti?? Monica Vitti!!
	🎸 ♥ 5:20pm Stanley: See you Handy
	♥ 5:20pm mariano: Stanley: I might need to investigate that service so that I can make an informed decision in pursuit of my rational self interest. Bye Handy!
	5:22pm Mario: This show is great! Ciao from Italia!
	5:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Monica Vitti can over top me anytime she wants...
	♥ 5:22pm coelacanth∅: hey David, mariano
	♥ 5:23pm βrian: "Ceci sont des pipes!"
	♥ 5:23pm mariano: Italy in the house!
	5:24pm Miss G: Here it is, I didn't even need the Genie, just needed diciassette, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A690M0FYMQ8
	🎸 ♥ 5:24pm diciassette: ^ rad!
	♥ 5:26pm mariano: I love that era of movie poster so much, Miss G.
	♥ 5:26pm spodiodi: see ya, Handy!
	5:26pm Miss G: Thank you mariano re: "Tanna," it looks great.
	♥ 5:27pm tim from champaign (now washington): What instruments are used on the Yoshi Wada?
	5:27pm David in London: Hey, I walked over Tower Bridge this afternoon and I didn’t see Monica Vitti. That’s not fair.
	5:28pm Miss G: I stood on the edge of a pond nearby and stared out pensively and I was not Monica Vitti. It's not at all fair.
	5:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Monica & I are both 3rd Nov. babies. I can share...
	♥ 5:29pm TDK60: Sounded like bagpipes, Tim.
	5:30pm Miss G: See, Tim in WA must have used the Genie to see that the song was Yoshi Wada. (or. . .his brain?!)
	♥ 5:32pm mariano: Miss G: yeah, it's really fascinating, had never seen anything from that part of the world before. It's gorgeously shot too, and none of the people had ever acted before, and they knocked it out of the park.
	🎸 ♥ 5:36pm Ken From Hyde Park: Greetings, Fabio and failing lifeforms.
	♥ 5:36pm coelacanth∅: spodi i feel a change coming on
	5:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I for one welcome our new Extraterrestrial Buddhist Cicada Overlords.
	♥ 5:37pm mariano: Monica Vitti... then there's Virna Lisi. In the 90s she was in "Queen Margot"/"La Reine Margot" playing a deliciously eeee-ville Catherine de' Medici. She was so good. Hey KenFHP, what's the good word?
	🎸 ♥ 5:38pm dale: herro - failure of bagpipes.
	♥ 5:38pm mariano: What's that image, coela?
	5:38pm Miss G: A friend of mine worked near St. Patrick's Cathedral and in 2001 Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec the constant sound of bagpipes was. . .well, her memory lives in me now.
	♥ 5:39pm slugluv1313: STILL adore Broadcast too -- saw them something like (gulp!) 20 years ago? at NYU -- they were incredible and soooo sweet, Trish Keenan was a total doll, the BEST laugh too! (my pal and i were claiming to be related, although i hardly "look" Ecuadorian and he hardly "looks" Hungarian)
	♥ 5:40pm TDK60: Hecker usually catches my Ear.
	♥ 5:40pm mariano: Ohhh so jealous, slugluv!
	5:40pm David in London: When I saw Glen Campbell sometime in the 90s, he played Amazing Grace on the bagpipes. It was quite a moment.
	5:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: One of my goodest friends is a dedicated Irish Trad piper ...wonderful...if someone can really play them...
	5:41pm Miss G: re: "beak mask" -- (has a Kubrick tie in as well) best mention, enter into search engine "SNL Carville Tea Party" for some good beak mask fun.
	5:42pm Miss G: RRN63 are they the uilleann pipes? I learned of them from a novel this year.
	♥ 5:42pm coelacanth∅: mariano wfmu.org... ...unfortunately the avatars of the past update with future changes. if it weren't so the comments boards of the past might hold more future humour
	♥ 5:43pm TDK60: Then a top Rollings cut (with spooky organ).
	♥ 5:43pm mariano: Glen Campbell played bagpipes? The world just became a cooler place. Just how I reacted last night when a listener from Vatican City chimed in: imagine that, FMU at the Vatican.
	♥ 5:44pm slugluv1313: those bagpipes (?) were just perfect, after coming upstairs from the EVIL LAUNDRY
	5:44pm Miss G: coelacanth∅ I thought you were doing a Minimal Man.
	♥ 5:44pm tim from champaign (now washington): I wish the Stones still sounded like this.
	🎸 ♥ 5:45pm dale: .....that makes me tend to leave my bag pipe rolled up and stashed behind your couch...
	5:45pm David in London: Mariano, I know, I was absolutely stunned. He was amazing, too. I remember he said, “Hey, I am a Campbell”.
	🎸 ♥ 5:45pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, mariano. I need to shorten my afternoon naps somewhat. I failed to catch the whole show today.
	♥ 5:46pm spodiodi: coel-l∅ nice av B^)
	♥ 5:46pm slugluv1313: take care, Handy!
	♥ 5:46pm ultradamno: So on the Old Codger playlist there's talk of "tonight's impending Fablo disclosures". Goodness, controversy brewing.
	🎸 ♥ 5:47pm Rev. Turnip Druid: back from meeting just in time to see this lovely world come to an end.
	♥ 5:47pm slugluv1313: totally intrigued by "Tanna"! SO many films, so little time!
	5:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @MissG: They are Irish Pipes...maybe? I'll find out ! He has to make his own reeds - it really impresses me...
	♥ 5:48pm TDK60: Miss G, I do believe uilleann pipes are the Irish ones. The Scots one different.
	♥ 5:48pm mariano: Now Ken, you had one job! David: my cousin's husband plays bagpipes, marches in the St Pat's parades. He's pretty good: he played a medley at their Christmas party last year. He's NYC Irish. I asked him if he ever played with the Scottish group here in NOLA that's in all the parades. He made a dismissive sound and called them "a bunch of Jacobite wannabes."
	5:49pm Miss G: I listened to some music of the uilleann pipes and I was astounded. It would be corny for me to say "they touched an ancient cord in me" but. . .
	♥ 5:49pm mariano: Ah ok thanks coela. Cool painting.
	5:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @TDK60 & MissG: Sounds like yes then...
	5:50pm brainiac: An early warning appears on The Old Codger chat board — A certain Lolabelle Pancake says: "Be sure not to miss this week's program. Courtney is finally going to blow the lid off the Fablo scandals!"
	🎸 ♥ 5:51pm diciassette: Well, there goes my afternoon
	♥ 5:51pm spodiodi: a few of us made avs from the painting on the day that show aired, mariano
	♥ 5:51pm mariano: Just saw a clip of Galician bagpipes, was really gorgeous. David: but man, just to have seen Glen Campbell. The closest I ever got to a show like that was Tony Orlando in Vegas when I was 12.
	5:51pm brainiac: She may have meant to type "sandals," bless her heart.
	5:52pm Miss G: Hmm, perhaps at the Hot Box was found a mink, and some poils. . .some shoes, and a hat. . .
	♥ 5:52pm spodiodi: it just happened and was pretty fun(ny)
	5:52pm David in London: Heck, don’t tell me it was Fabio who really did in Roberto Calvi?
	5:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @MissG: That's precisely the feeling I get - archetypal ancestral. He informs though that the Irish Trad is not so ancient as generally believed...
	♥ 5:53pm mariano: brainiac: Oh you know it must be bad if the bigwigs aren't talking about it. I mean, look at that picture of him up top. If that's not the crazed look of a hardcore marijuana addict, I'm Lillie Langtry.
	♥ 5:53pm slugluv1313: @ mariano -- Decibel is still going strong! www.sakebardecibel.com... is this the joint that you have to walk down stairs to get to? if so -- have walked by there numerous times (i worked at St. Marks Vet in the 90s, also on East 9th Street), but never went inside!
	5:53pm ami ad: Thank you DJ,Crew. Pleasant failings today. Don't forget to cover your shame.
	🎸 ♥ 5:54pm Rev. Turnip Druid: the strings behind Nico have me thinking Plastic People of the Universe, & there's the evening playlist sorted.
	🎸 ♥ 5:54pm dale: tony orlando! everywhere for a few years and then - not so much.
	♥ 5:55pm mariano: Ah thanks slugluv! Yep, it was kinda silly but you had to knock and they opened a little slot in the door to check you out. They have a really good menu too, all Japanese bar food. Thank you Fabio and Skeleton Crew! Had a blast jawin' with everyone, take care!
	♥ 5:55pm tim from champaign (now washington): Thanks Fabio!
	♥ 5:55pm TDK60: Thanks Fabio.
	5:55pm Miss G: Thank you Fabio and Mat! Some things to hold on to during the smoke and dreams filled days
	♥ 5:55pm spodiodi: thanks, Fabio. great show! loved the first two sets thanks, skeleton crew!
	5:55pm brainiac: @mariano: Very nice to meet you, Miss Langtry. Thanks for the show Fabio, and for the good company e'erybody.
	♥ 5:56pm chris: thanks, Fabio and Skels! take good care, peeps.
	♥ 5:56pm mariano: dale: That's because of his ill-advised attempt at a rap career. [poker face... poker face...] brainiac: Why thank you, young man. So rare to encounter a real gentleman these days.
	5:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx As Ever DJ Fabio.
	♥ 5:57pm slugluv1313: ahhh NICO so soothing somehow :) thank you so much, Fabio, Skeletons for such splendid FAILURE
	5:57pm David in London: Mariano. It was a weird show because it was just prior to his ‘cool reassessment’. The (large) audience was predominantly elderly ladies, with a few rockabilly / Americana aficionados scattered in clumps here and there. He was terrific though. He even did some Beach Boys number (“Hell, I was Beach Boy, why shouldn’t I?”)
	5:58pm bLeubomberune b: Bonsoir Fabio Life long and broadcast
	5:58pm David in London: Great show Fabio. Goodnight all you good people. I’m going to try and stay awake for 11 Harrowhouse on cinephobe...
	♥ 5:58pm mariano: That's so cool David. And the bagpipe thing is the cherry on top.
	5:58pm watchpocket: Nico seems to know a total of 3 notes in her vocal. Vary it up a little? An otherwise nice arrangement.
	5:58pm P-90: Thanks once again Fabio. That codger guy always has some kind of beef, but your show is A-OK in my book, yessir!
	5:59pm HexFamChan: <3 NICO. Awesome Show, thanks Fabio!
	5:59pm Andres: Thank you Fabio!!! I should have played it louder but family needs attention sometimes:)
	♥ 5:59pm mariano: Ooh, Charles Grodin, my spirit animal!
	🎸 ♥ 5:59pm Stanley: Very enjoyable show. Thanks Fab. Good night all.
	♥ 5:59pm slugluv1313: hiya watchpocket! HAH! and i always thought that i could not "sing"!
	🎸 ♥ 6:00pm dale: this is groovy background music. sounds like that zodiac album.
	♥ 6:01pm TDK60: Fab., ya forgot the next-to-last cut.
	6:01pm watchpocket: @slugluv1313: But of course, Nico is Nico.
	♥ 6:01pm Ike: Thanks Fabio!
	♥ 6:01pm slugluv1313: @ David in London -- ooooo so jealous never got to see Glen Campbell at all!
	6:06pm P-90: Why not leave li’l Fablo in peace, and pick on someone your own age?
	♥ 8:39pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Fabio
	8:03pm pj: Fabio that picture looks like an outtake from the Satan Is Real album cover photo shoot. Thanks for another great show from quarantine!

	3:15pm Smeared Peanut Butter: STOOGES excellent initial feature/failure.Now PERE UBU!!!!!
	3:16pm Leah: This show just started and already rules.
	3:16pm Ghetto Pastrami: Never knew Pere Ubu could sound like Devo
	♥ 3:17pm mariano: Well, they're all from Ohio...
	3:18pm David in London: Mariano, it’s party time in Cheddar Land... Handy, you skipping town? Where to?
	3:18pm Ghetto Pastrami: ROKY!
	♥ 3:18pm chris_in_space: Killer set to open today's Failure. Is that you in the pic, @Fabio?
	3:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: DMT place
	🎸 ♥ 3:18pm mrdonutsu: Holé Molé
	♥ 3:19pm dave wuz here: it's all hits all day
	3:19pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: 1966
	3:19pm David in London: Much as I love him, I’m not entirely convinced that Roky should ever have been driving heavy vehicles.
	3:20pm WM: The Stooges, Pere Ubu and now 13th Floor Elevators. If this keeps up I'll have no more brain cells by the end of the show.
	3:20pm Ghetto Pastrami: I lived around the corner from him for a while and didn't know
	🎸 ♥ 3:20pm Handy Haversack: Update, David, about 3.5 hrs north of the city. Coincidentally, just down the road from where our own Mr. Pumpy has a getaway place! We are going meet the mother of the legend!
	🎸 ♥ 3:21pm mrdonutsu: It may be this Fabio imposter guy - who runs around calling himself "Mr. Sharpe" - there in the picture. Or perhaps it's the inverse of that.
	3:21pm Listener Robert: This must be that Fablo show I've read so much about lately.
	3:21pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Elevators' code in mid1960s Texas was to not play or record unless tripping. Except the drummer. Even the Grateful Dead were incredulous reportedly.
	🎸 ♥ 3:21pm chresti: This is perfect bummer summer music.
	🎸 ♥ 3:22pm Handy Haversack: *Er, "upstate, David"^^
	🎸 ♥ 3:22pm Rev. Turnip Druid: This set has been a medical necessity for a long time.
	3:23pm David in London: Thanks for the upstate update Handy. Sounds grand. How long are you going for? A change of scenery sure did me good.
	♥ 3:25pm Chop Scott: Sounding great Fabio!
	♥ 3:25pm slugluv1313: greetings, Fabio, Skeleton Crew, Everyone! happy to be part of Summer FAILURE! Fabio, you look positively DEMONIC in that photograph -- so cool! like a still from a color-oversaturated Ken Russell film -- ??
	♥ 3:26pm Ike: Oh man, getting away to a cabin, or a lean-to, or a rustic heap upstate sounds really good right about now.
	♥ 3:27pm chris_in_space: @Revolution Rabbit I read as much re: Elevators code in Paul Drummond's great book, "Eye Mind." One of the best rock bios I've ever read. The Elevators made the bands from San Fran look like poseurs!
	♥ 3:27pm slugluv1313: @ Handy -- happy travels! please give warm HELLOs to Mr. Pumpy! btw -- guessing i had not heard them b/c i am on the fourth floor here? but i hear TONS of crickets when i am walking about in the evenings :)
	🎸 ♥ 3:28pm Carmichael: Heya Fabs and embracers of failure. Smoke and ash are the overriding themes to my city today.
	🎸 ♥ 3:29pm Rev. Turnip Druid: GREAT SNEEZING JESUS, that hexlove thing.
	♥ 3:30pm mariano: 3.5 hours north of the city... you going up around Saratoga Springs, Handy?
	♥ 3:31pm spodiodi: rev rabbit must be having a moment :) "rawk"
	3:31pm bLeubomberune b: Bonjour Fabio
	3:32pm David in London: Greetings Monsieur Carmichael.
	🎸 ♥ 3:32pm Carmichael: Aloha, David!
	3:33pm wfmu listener phillip: tell me about it @fabio. the clash. the police. the cars. wish they were still around today
	3:33pm nick: U see a good amount of WFMU tshirts n stickers up here in Hudson - very welcoming
	🎸 ♥ 3:34pm PaulRobeson1920: 130th floor elevators?
	3:34pm Miss G: Oh, oh, speaking of cassettes, does anyone know a good device to put my cassette music onto my laptop?
	🎸 ♥ 3:35pm Handy Haversack: slugluv, alas, Mr. P won't be up there. He's confined to New Jersey by circumstances. David, we're going up Fri.-Wed. Tue. is the lovely Kate's bday, and she really wanted to go away for it. I think the dog is also excited, but he's hard to read! Not exactly, Mariano -- sort of on the way to Cooperstown! Hobart, NY, on the W. Branch of the Delaware.
	3:35pm ami ad: Hello DJ. Hello all. A fine day to fail it is.
	♥ 3:35pm βrian: I once spent a month on Saratoga Lake. Nice land around there, but the lake was too damn crowded.
	3:36pm P-90: When it comes to Kraut Rock acts, sometimes the more obscure, the better.
	3:37pm Miss G: re: the Great Link Wray, maybe we said it before, but the PBS docu "Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked the World" is streaming on Azn. Prime.
	🎸 ♥ 3:37pm Rev. Turnip Druid: another conny plank winner, this.
	♥ 3:38pm spodiodi: thank you, Miss G! noted!
	♥ 3:38pm slugluv1313: @ Handy -- ah, apologies! mis-read your earlier comment (and yes, i was wondering about that, remembering Mr. Pumpy's situation)
	3:39pm David in London: Miss G, don’t know if they’re available in the States, but I used a small Ion USB tape machine and it did the job pretty well.
	♥ 3:39pm slugluv1313: now for some reason at the mention of "Saratoga," i cannot get The Odd Couple's version of "You're So Vain" outta my head
	🎸 ♥ 3:41pm chresti: Carmichael, pretty lousy air down here, too.
	🎸 ♥ 3:41pm Handy Haversack: It's funny -- Mr. Pumpy and I have hung out and played games every Sunday since April and every other Saturday since the beginning of July, but we have never met in person!
	3:42pm Miss G: David in London, thanks so much for the brand name, Ion seems to be in US -- I'm so paranoid about the tapes getting damaged. . .
	♥ 3:42pm slugluv1313: and wracking my brain, trying to remember if i did indeed experience a Circle X performance, especially during their Eros/Liotta collaboration days . . .
	🎸 ♥ 3:42pm PaulRobeson1920: Skidmore College is up in Saratoga, a very popular university for southern planters to send their kids for the summer. If you find yourself over that way, look at the buildings near the college. They speak to an age in Saratoga Springs. The Lincoln Bath House is cool too, in the Saratoga State Park.
	3:44pm David in London: Handy, do give my regards to the Pumpmeister when you next speak to him. Miss G, some of my tapes were quite ancient and I didn’t lose any during the transfer. Good luck!
	3:45pm Miss G: OK and one more dumb question to the cognoscenti Failurites, some kind of app to "listen" to the songs and tell me what it is? i.e. I don't know the name of the song.
	🎸 ♥ 3:46pm chresti: The WFMU app?
	3:47pm Miss G: chresti, it's some kind of magic musical service. . .L I saw my niece do it!
	♥ 3:48pm spodiodi: Carmichael, chresti -- same here but MUUUUCH better than yesterday (or the day before, at least by day's end.) Yesterday we had the windows, blinds, and curtains closed all day long. so stuffy. Windows now open, but it's still kinda stinky.
	3:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I copped 'Rawk' off Julian Cope's mighty website when that was a sustaining oasis - tho he probably applied it more specifically. Just get bored with 'Rock' ...same with Cool & Kewl... See 'Rumble' absolutely! Validating to me - & a buzz. Good double bill maybe with 'The King' using Elvis as metaphor for Murika ...but problem with Good Double Bills is I actually never sit through two...
	🎸 ♥ 3:49pm Handy Haversack: How far off from you all are the various fires, spod, chresti, Carm?
	♥ 3:49pm TDK60: Sorry to hear about all those fires Chresti, Carm, Spodi. I heard they number 367.
	🎸 ♥ 3:49pm Handy Haversack: Miss G, like Shazaam?
	♥ 3:50pm mariano: Ah, I see, Handy. Not familiar with that area but I had a friend in Saratoga I used to visit, we'd sometimes go to Lake George. Beautiful part of the state. And yeah PaulRobeson, Saratoga's an interesting town.
	♥ 3:50pm spodiodi: in in SF propa... let me find a (horrifying) map graphic from yesterday...
	3:51pm Miss G: Handy oh thank you. I was going to say "it's like a Genie/djinn who knows your song. . ." yes, that must be it. I hope it works on these DJ sets on cassette. And to all in the SF area, Good Vibrations to all.
	♥ 3:52pm spodiodi: Handy: wfmu.org... (stolen yestrday from the terrible local rag)
	♥ 3:52pm mariano: Yeah, what Handy said. Up until very recently you could type "What song is this" into the Google search bar and it would basically do like Shazaam, but they stopped doing it for some reason. Spodi: heat wave in San Francisco in the summer? That is odd. One thing I miss about living there was the cool weather. Great for walking and biking.
	♥ 3:52pm chris: hi Fabio and folks. the Masaki Batoh is a banger. and, air quality and ash bad here, too. wind has been mostly favorable, but today... sigh. we're about a crow's four miles from 1500 acre 0% contained fire in Pt Reyes Natl Seashore.
	🎸 ♥ 3:52pm Devin B.: Intersystems!
	♥ 3:53pm spodiodi: hi chris! thanks for the report... been wondering about everyone localish to me
	🎸 ♥ 3:54pm chresti: Oh no, chris!
	♥ 3:54pm spodiodi: mariano, it's all relative. i've been trying to keep quiet while everyone else is melting.... we had a couple of 85-ish high temp days here (when carm was seeing 107, for example.)
	♥ 3:55pm chris: saw a photo in the chronicle of the air quality yesterday in the bay. holy shit. yeah, chresti... wind coming our way is not good. but the fire still has a long way to come before we're threatened.
	♥ 3:55pm spodiodi: i generally throw a fir if we hit 80 (this is a big part of why i moved to sf)
	🎸 ♥ 3:55pm Carmichael: @chris, I'm between the fires in Vacaville and Nevada County. Pretty (un)healthy dose of smoke for the last few days, getting worse it seems.
	3:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lived in Santa Barbara 16 years - the feels yerknow...
	♥ 3:56pm chris: absolutely hellish up there, Carm. ugh.
	♥ 3:57pm spodiodi: SB make me think of my littlebrudda, RevRab. nice place, SB (he went to ucsb)
	♥ 3:57pm Rtintera: love this
	♥ 3:58pm spodiodi: fit* not fir flex
	♥ 3:58pm mariano: spodiodi (@3:55) - Wow, you must be strong! ;)
	♥ 3:58pm mariano: Damn, you beat me to the punch!
	♥ 3:58pm βrian: When it gets too hot here, I throw a spruce bough.
	♥ 3:58pm spodiodi: wiseguy ;)
	♥ 3:59pm spodiodi: s
	♥ 3:59pm mariano: Wiseguy? I was gonna suggest you sign up for the Highland Games.
	♥ 3:59pm TDK60: It's a fine day in NYC, clear air, not too hot. 83F.
	♥ 3:59pm spodiodi: u+03B2rian ;)
	♥ 3:59pm slugluv1313: @ chris, chresti, spodiodi, Carmichael, other California dwellers -- every day i have been hearing reports on the fires, highest recorded temperature ever in Death Valley, blistering heat waves -- all the time wishing that i could somehow send you the genuinely nice weather we have been having here (NYC/NJ area)
	♥ 4:00pm spodiodi: i'd lose at the log rolling thing, mariano. however, the speed sawing always makes me dream
	♥ 4:01pm spodiodi: i have my usual hoodie on and about to close windows because chilly currently 67 degrees f here
	♥ 4:01pm Hubig Pie: That Myrrors track was mightee fine indeed
	🎸 ♥ 4:02pm chresti: Spodi, in sf, no one has ac. So 80s, 90s is very uncomfortable.
	4:02pm David in London: Spodiodi, I think you have it in you to become a champion at curling.
	♥ 4:02pm βrian: At 60 degrees, I'm out in the hammock.
	4:03pm brainiac: @slugluv1313: Appreciate the sentiment from hellscape that is the north central valley of Calif.
	♥ 4:03pm spodiodi: amen, chresti. i'm i can't stand The Heat. that's why i must still be here, despite being really tired of much of the less pleasant stuff that has evolved over the past 26years
	♥ 4:03pm chris: thanks, slugluv! :) <3
	4:04pm Woo: Time, he's waiting in the wings, and so on....
	4:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Btw a bitchen Elevators is their Avalon 1966 S.F. show as on a YouTube...
	🎸 ♥ 4:04pm chresti: Thanks slugluv, we'll take whatever you send this way.
	4:04pm Tomas: Fabs!
	♥ 4:04pm mariano: Curling, yes - talk about a nice, cool environment. Maybe I'll try to open a curlink (rink?) in New Orleans, but it'd be a big hit in summer.
	♥ 4:04pm spodiodi: spodi "spaghetti arms" odi they call me, David iL ;)
	♥ 4:05pm mariano: "You too can have all this!"
	4:06pm Ghetto Pastrami: Sriracha almonds are what's happening now
	4:06pm David in London: Mariano, sign me up.
	♥ 4:06pm spodiodi: is it very sticky today, mariano? man, i love NO, but i dunno if i could ever live there (as mentioned a while ago, it was a close runner-up before i moved here)
	♥ 4:06pm steveo: ✓
	♥ 4:06pm spodiodi: sign me uo too, mariano. i need to get in shape for the highlands
	4:07pm Tomas: Saw a Wim Wenders movie for the first time that touches on time and death, etc.--A Shooting in Palermo"--I liked it a lot
	♥ 4:07pm spodiodi: i'll use my private plane to zip on down
	🎸 ♥ 4:09pm PaulRobeson1920: A fine, finee day in NYC
	♥ 4:10pm mariano: David, you can run the Runza racket at the rink. And no, spodi, it's been a surprisingly mild summer overall. Still pretty humid but there's usually a nice breeze. Sorry to hear about the hellish weather you and the other Accufornians are enduring.
	4:10pm David in London: Spodiodi, can you pick me up on the way?
	🎸 ♥ 4:11pm Carmichael: Gotta run, good luck all.
	♥ 4:11pm spodiodi: np, David! please send coords at will
	♥ 4:11pm mariano: Take care and stay safe Carm!
	♥ 4:12pm spodiodi: see ya, Carmichael. hope it lets up for you soon
	♥ 4:12pm TDK60: Carm, wear a mask for 2 reasons.
	♥ 4:14pm slugluv1313: take care, Carmichael!
	♥ 4:14pm spodiodi: (is he the Lone Ranger?)
	4:15pm Miss G: Tomas I was wondering about that Wim Wenders film, you liked it? Maybe I'll check it out.
	4:16pm ?: bye
	🎸 ♥ 4:18pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Only familiar with Wenders' two big road films (alice in the cities & kings of the road) -- perfect sprawling epics totally devoid of plot. More films should be like this.
	4:19pm David in London: Mariano, cool! I’ll need Handy as my strong-arm man.
	🎸 ♥ 4:19pm Lixiviated Life: What is it like to sleep and never wake up? What is it like to wake up having never slept? The leaf The bud The flower The fruit The seed The leaf
	4:20pm Miss G: Rev. Turnip Druid, my favorite WW is "The State of Things" but it is hard to find. . .I don't understand why. But this one "Palermo" is supposed to be like the road films you mentioned, so. . .
	🎸 ♥ 4:20pm Handy Haversack: Got distracted with feeding the birds and chatting with a neighbor, but DAMN, spod! That's intense.
	♥ 4:21pm spodiodi: si si. to the limit, Handy
	♥ 4:23pm spodiodi: (please give Bagpipe a thumbs-up for me, and have a good adventure with he and Kate! be safe)
	♥ 4:24pm steveo: Hi Handy, I thought of you today as I biked over Newtown Creek, twice. No small craft were observed in use, however.
	4:24pm Miss G: What a groovy set this is. Perfect soundtrack to mentally traveling to Saratoga Springs, to the windy wildfires in CA, then to the humid N.O.. . .and back to the HotBox (which always reminds me of "Guys and Dolls.")
	♥ 4:24pm mariano: David: he'd have to change his name to Fisty. Or maybe Stabby. At least at work.
	🎸 ♥ 4:24pm PaulRobeson1920: Nice
	4:26pm David in London: Mariano, what’s in the haversack? A cudgel and several switchblades... “I don’t get tough with people. Stabby does.”
	♥ 4:29pm mariano: Haha! Maybe something more vague though, like Boom Boom. Or Stab Stab. Whoops.
	4:29pm WM: @Miss. G.: I think Wender's best film is The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick, which is based on the novel by Peter Handke. A few nights ago I got very lucky and saw on Cinephobe.tv Handke's film adaptation of his own novel Left Handed Woman (which was produced by Wenders).
	♥ 4:32pm mariano: What David Lynch movie is that deranged-looking cowboy in the photo from? Looks like the Big Tuna section of "Wild at Heart."
	🎸 ♥ 4:32pm Handy Haversack: Hey, steveo! Would have been a nice day for it!
	♥ 4:32pm steveo: indeed!
	🎸 ♥ 4:33pm Lixiviated Life: Things are terrible only if you believe that you really exist.
	♥ 4:33pm mariano: "My dawwwg... barkss... some."
	🎸 ♥ 4:33pm Handy Haversack: If you find yourself biking over the creek again and want to have a friendly outdoor beverage or anything, send up a flare! We are close by.
	♥ 4:34pm spodiodi: mariano, every day should be a day with a WaH reference.... one of my fave parts (and actors/chars)
	♥ 4:34pm TDK60: I'm relatively not too wacky after 5 months in this apt. My roommates moved out. I'm furloughed from work. My radio works though.
	♥ 4:35pm spodiodi: i'm going to get a mariano's curling tattoo to show my thanks
	♥ 4:35pm steveo: thanks Handy, good idea!
	4:35pm brainiac: "You'll see me one more time if you do good. You'll see me two more times if you do bad." -Fabio
	🎸 ♥ 4:36pm PaulRobeson1920: George Taki
	4:36pm Miss G: brainiac: perfect caption to the photo!
	🎸 ♥ 4:36pm joe mulligan: Hi all! @Steveo and @Handy I'm recovering from a knee injury but would be happy to join you turning the pedals a little in a few weeks
	♥ 4:37pm spodiodi: the trouble with covids
	4:37pm David in London: “Those are dummies, dummy...”
	♥ 4:37pm spodiodi: red shirts are fucked
	♥ 4:37pm Matt Warwick: Star Trek: The Next Generation is NOT junk FABIO!
	♥ 4:38pm steveo: sure joe, drop a line when you are able
	4:38pm Miss G: WM thanks, maybe Cinephobe will play "Left Handed Woman" again. PS Re: Star Trek, Fabio, what would be true to the future would be if Scotty used Duct Tape! Always in Fashion!
	4:38pm David in London: The dilithium crystals, they cannae take it Captain.
	🎸 ♥ 4:39pm Handy Haversack: Joe, I am happy to provide an outdoor meeting place for the N. Brooklyn part of the ride! (I don't actually know how to ride a bike ...)
	🎸 ♥ 4:39pm Stanley: And there's always new fella, we've never seen before. i wonder what'll happen to him. And hello.
	♥ 4:39pm βrian: I wanted some of Scotty's single-malt.
	♥ 4:40pm mariano: Haha spodi! Mariano's Creole Curling Parlor. ROTFL brainiac! That is one of my favorite scenes of all time. TDK: hats off to anyone who can go through all this with other people in the house. Feel very fortunate to live alone (though I could probably do a creditable Jack Torrance in a dinner-theater production of "The Shining."
	🎸 ♥ 4:41pm joe mulligan: sounds cool @Handy and Steveo
	♥ 4:41pm βrian: Six-year-old started riding in April. I psyched her out by saying flatly that she already knew how to ride. She protested; I insisted. And then she got on her bike and rode.
	4:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Shee-it man - in the 23rd Century we'll have pocket sized communicators you can talk into !! ...just one inch thick...
	4:42pm ami ad: Many years ago,a co worker used to yell out the truck window,my name is Ami and I live alone,the prophecy has been fulfilled.
	♥ 4:42pm mariano: And here's that missing parenthesis: )
	♥ 4:42pm tim from champaign (now washington): I used to work at a large midwestern university library. One of my jobs was processing donated materials to see if it should be added to the collection. One time someone anonymously dropped off a plastic grocery bag full of Star Trek fan fiction zines from the 70s. It was awesome to look at. There were all sorts of intergalactic love stories including trysts between Spock and Kirk.
	🎸 ♥ 4:43pm Handy Haversack: Dang, tim, I hope that made the collection and was catalogued. I'm sure the NYU rare books library's Downtown Collection would have taken it.
	4:43pm WM: Miss G: Send Cinephobe a request and ask for LHW. I'd love to see it again, too. Cinephobe tv: AltmansHashPipe@gmail.com
	4:43pm Miss G: mariano I think we can all do a Jack Torrance after so much indoor-time. Sometimes after five days of never using my vocal cords I begin typing "all work and no play" and then do use them to say out loud "Danny's not here Mrs. Torrance. . ."
	🎸 ♥ 4:44pm Handy Haversack: We have always been the caretaker.
	♥ 4:44pm tim from champaign (now washington): @Handy - it was! It didn't make the rare books room but it is catalogued and accessible.
	♥ 4:45pm Ike: Star Trek: TNG, DS9, Farscape, The Expanse... all shows with really wobbly first seasons (downright terrible in the case of TNG) but they all became great. In the era of streaming, it's worth mentioning because everybody starts from the beginning and watches in order instead of catching a random one in syndicated reruns. But if you do that w/TNG then you see the worst episodes first and you get a terrible impression of the show.
	4:45pm Miss G: WM I will send cinephobe a request! Thanks
	🎸 ♥ 4:45pm Stanley: Hi David. How was dinner the other night?
	♥ 4:47pm TDK60: Thanks for the sympathy Mariano. Roomies lost jobs, left. I don't mind being alone, and I see some siblings about weekly. But I have started talking to myself.
	4:48pm Miss G: Ike re: TNG maybe people should begin with the BORG?! (I saw the Borg Queen's third film appearance the other day as the ingenue in "A Tale of Two Cities.")
	🎸 ♥ 4:48pm Handy Haversack: Nice! My work is library adjacent, but I have catholic tastes in what should go in! I can't imagine having gone through all this without Kate. I mean, when we do have a dust-up, our tiny apt. seems really tiny. But having someone have my back through this has also been crucial. Plus, it would have been weird if we'd each spent five months with just half a dog!
	♥ 4:49pm tim from champaign (now washington): @Miss G - seek help if Lloyd offers you a drink on the house.
	4:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...think maybe we've left the phase everyone's applying Ambient as a topical ointment for nerves & madness ...& now everything is unending labyrinthine variations on expressions of shock reactions & anxiety ?? Or ...just listening to Fabio...
	🎸 ♥ 4:49pm Handy Haversack: Definitely begin TNG with "Darmok and Gelaad at Tenagra" and play the drinking game. When the walls fell. Also, the one where they de-evolve and ape Riker flicks off the camera. Gold, Jerry!
	♥ 4:50pm mariano: Lol Miss G! The really scary part is that I think I'm starting to turn into Mr. Ullman. TDK: I talk to myself all the time, welcome to the tribe!
	4:51pm breaking weather news!!!: Lee Goldberg of Wabc 7. predicts the saturday night temperature will be 733° degrees Fahrenheit.
	4:51pm Miss G: tim from WA if I get spooky I just put on DVDs of AbFab and then it is Patsy who offers me a Boli/Stoli on the house!
	4:51pm David in London: Hey Stanley. Oh man, it was amazing. Went to a top notch Japanese place in Baker Street. Incredible food. And rather a lot of saki too...
	4:52pm nic: love this!!!
	🎸 ♥ 4:52pm chresti: I like need a this.
	🎸 ♥ 4:53pm chresti: I mean it's hot.
	4:53pm Miss G: OK, this Vertonen is this weeks "zeitgeist of the week" like last week's Necks was.
	♥ 4:53pm βrian: I've always thought talking to oneself is useful for screening irrational thoughts. A seemingly sound thought may be revealed as downright kooky when spoken aloud.
	🎸 ♥ 4:53pm joe mulligan: does anyone know of the other film site out there that's kind of like cinephobe? robet emmett was talking about it on sister station kfjc the other week.
	4:53pm wfmu listener phillip: NOW THATS WHAT I CAME TO HEAR. what's playing now
	♥ 4:54pm slugluv1313: hah! i talk to myself AND the cats all the time too! true, things are far from perfect -- but really really grateful that the person who was living here is GONE (in other words -- the exact opposite of what you and Kate have, @Handy!)
	♥ 4:55pm βrian: There's Kanopy, but the content all depends on a subscribing institution's subscription. Via my university, it's basically useless, sadly.
	🎸 ♥ 4:56pm joe mulligan: it was something like expo .tv or something.
	🎸 ♥ 4:56pm Stanley: David, that sounds great. Love Japanese food and saki. Could never get my mind round warm saki, though. I've been thinking of how to do my 'first' foray into a restaurant. Thanks to my partner moving in since March, I've been vegetarian. I need some meat.
	4:56pm Fabio: @Joe: Check out HDFY. Not free, but on demand and has an interesting selection
	🎸 ♥ 4:57pm joe mulligan: oh cool, thanks Fab!
	♥ 4:57pm βrian: Warming can improve cheap sake. But the good stuff is best at room temperature, or maybe slightly cool.
	♥ 5:01pm mariano: Is that sake bar Decibel still around in the East Village? Don't know sake very well at all, but I had some good ones there. Some you drink out of a square box, never knew what the distinction was. And nobody would tell me. Fuckers. Oh, sorry, where was I..?
	5:01pm David in London: Stanley. It was a really enjoyable blast of normality to just sit across the table and talk. Huge amounts of good food obviously helped, too. Get yourself out there my man.
	5:01pm Miss G: mariano, re: Shining/Mr. Ullman, did you see the docu "Room 237?" There's something about him in there but I can't recall.
	♥ 5:03pm tim from champaign (now washington): I got to see Broadcast once. It was fantastic.
	5:03pm Jeezuseffinchrist: whattt???? that's awful
	♥ 5:03pm common: so love broadcast. miss her so much. hi fabio and all!
	♥ 5:04pm TDK60: Yeh, too bad about Broadcast's singer.
	5:04pm winston legthigh: @miss g, jumping on a bit late here but if u have an android phone, embedded in the google app is a widget called sound search which is amazing. in 5 secs u get the song, artist, label, and of course the option to make a purchase. hi/bye failures!
	5:04pm HexFamChan: LOVE Broadcast too
	♥ 5:04pm mariano: I saw it a few years ago, Miss G. I don't remember anything about Ullman specifically, but I've read that the film originally had an ending where Wendy and Danny are in a hospital and Ullman shows up to comfort them or something. Yes, Broadcast forever. That is such an effed-up story.
	5:04pm text: text
	5:05pm Miss G: winston legthigh, thanks so much! I know a friend with an Android phone, maybe it will work!
	5:05pm David in London: Miss G, I think with Ullman, it’s that penis-papertray theory.
	🎸 ♥ 5:06pm Stanley: Thanks David. The last restaurant I ate at was Franklin's Social in Jersey City. I can still taste that chicken.
	5:06pm wfmu listener phillip: @FABIO her name was TRISH KEENAN. and she was in Australia when she contracted the BIRD FLU.
	5:06pm bLeubomberune b: At least Dr. McCoy could treat a mediical condition with his scanner
	5:06pm Miss G: D in L, um, guess I forgot that theory! L
	5:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: A Really Enjoyable Blast of Normality
	🎸 ♥ 5:08pm PaulRobeson1920: Park the lorry
	♥ 5:08pm mariano: Every now and then I get directed to Mubi, which I don't know how they're doing their thing, but I've seen a couple of things surprisingly free, no sign-up. There must be something dodgy about it though.
	5:08pm wfmu listener phillip: I LOVE THE BAND BROADCAST!. no smak talk about it. Trish Keenan had a lovely voice
	🎸 ♥ 5:11pm diciassette: Did someone say make a martini? Mubi has 30 rolling films in paid subscription. I know it's time to watch the movie when it's expiring at midnight. Mubi Library is a different animal.. cinephobe.tv: La ragazza con la pistola comes on at 00:01!
	5:13pm brainiac: @Miss G: David in London is correct. He (Ullman) was supposed to represent the US government (noting the Kennedyesque hairstyle). The scene was supposed to be Kubric's reenactment of the deal he made to fake the moon landing in which he (Kubric) felt he had been dominated and coerced into (penis/papertray).
	5:13pm Miss G: mariano, I signed up for MUBI for a month, saw an amazing film "Dawson City: Frozen Time" with recovered silent films made by the great Bill Morrison ("Decasia.") But most of the films were "too much of the muchness" for me right now.
	🎸 ♥ 5:14pm Stanley: @mariano: I signed up to mubi for a few years. Their programming just got more and more obscure arthouse for me. In the end it wasn't good value but for six quid, I think, you could, in theory, watch thirty films.
	5:15pm David in London: I think Penis Papertray might be name of my new band.
	🎸 ♥ 5:16pm Handy Haversack: Gotta hop off in a few -- but thanks, Fabio!
	5:16pm Miss G: diciassette, does La ragazza con la pistola have that great song "girl with a gun?" (really dumb question. That song is on one of the cassettes I am duping)
	♥ 5:16pm mariano: Oh no no no, I'm such a dolt! It's Tubi, not Mubi. Sorry. David: It's a very alliterative name, like SOME people's...
	5:16pm Noboru Wataya: Beautiful
	♥ 5:16pm coelacanth∅: greetings Fabio and utter failures
	♥ 5:18pm TDK60: See ya Handy.
	🎸 ♥ 5:18pm Stanley: mariano: just don't sign up to Bubi.
	5:19pm David in London: Hey Coela.
	♥ 5:19pm mariano: Coela! Miss G, Stanley, et al: I was looking for this movie from Vanuatu called "Tanna" and couldn't find it anywhere except Tubi, still on there: www.google.com...
	🎸 ♥ 5:19pm diciassette: Miss G, don't remember! There is Monica Vitti acting over the top Sicilian..
	♥ 5:20pm βrian: Monica Vitti?? Monica Vitti!!
	🎸 ♥ 5:20pm Stanley: See you Handy
	♥ 5:20pm mariano: Stanley: I might need to investigate that service so that I can make an informed decision in pursuit of my rational self interest. Bye Handy!
	5:22pm Mario: This show is great! Ciao from Italia!
	5:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Monica Vitti can over top me anytime she wants...
	♥ 5:22pm coelacanth∅: hey David, mariano
	♥ 5:23pm βrian: "Ceci sont des pipes!"
	♥ 5:23pm mariano: Italy in the house!
	5:24pm Miss G: Here it is, I didn't even need the Genie, just needed diciassette, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A690M0FYMQ8
	🎸 ♥ 5:24pm diciassette: ^ rad!
	♥ 5:26pm mariano: I love that era of movie poster so much, Miss G.
	♥ 5:26pm spodiodi: see ya, Handy!
	5:26pm Miss G: Thank you mariano re: "Tanna," it looks great.
	♥ 5:27pm tim from champaign (now washington): What instruments are used on the Yoshi Wada?
	5:27pm David in London: Hey, I walked over Tower Bridge this afternoon and I didn’t see Monica Vitti. That’s not fair.
	5:28pm Miss G: I stood on the edge of a pond nearby and stared out pensively and I was not Monica Vitti. It's not at all fair.
	5:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Monica & I are both 3rd Nov. babies. I can share...
	♥ 5:29pm TDK60: Sounded like bagpipes, Tim.
	5:30pm Miss G: See, Tim in WA must have used the Genie to see that the song was Yoshi Wada. (or. . .his brain?!)
	♥ 5:32pm mariano: Miss G: yeah, it's really fascinating, had never seen anything from that part of the world before. It's gorgeously shot too, and none of the people had ever acted before, and they knocked it out of the park.
	🎸 ♥ 5:36pm Ken From Hyde Park: Greetings, Fabio and failing lifeforms.
	♥ 5:36pm coelacanth∅: spodi i feel a change coming on
	5:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I for one welcome our new Extraterrestrial Buddhist Cicada Overlords.
	♥ 5:37pm mariano: Monica Vitti... then there's Virna Lisi. In the 90s she was in "Queen Margot"/"La Reine Margot" playing a deliciously eeee-ville Catherine de' Medici. She was so good. Hey KenFHP, what's the good word?
	🎸 ♥ 5:38pm dale: herro - failure of bagpipes.
	♥ 5:38pm mariano: What's that image, coela?
	5:38pm Miss G: A friend of mine worked near St. Patrick's Cathedral and in 2001 Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec the constant sound of bagpipes was. . .well, her memory lives in me now.
	♥ 5:39pm slugluv1313: STILL adore Broadcast too -- saw them something like (gulp!) 20 years ago? at NYU -- they were incredible and soooo sweet, Trish Keenan was a total doll, the BEST laugh too! (my pal and i were claiming to be related, although i hardly "look" Ecuadorian and he hardly "looks" Hungarian)
	♥ 5:40pm TDK60: Hecker usually catches my Ear.
	♥ 5:40pm mariano: Ohhh so jealous, slugluv!
	5:40pm David in London: When I saw Glen Campbell sometime in the 90s, he played Amazing Grace on the bagpipes. It was quite a moment.
	5:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: One of my goodest friends is a dedicated Irish Trad piper ...wonderful...if someone can really play them...
	5:41pm Miss G: re: "beak mask" -- (has a Kubrick tie in as well) best mention, enter into search engine "SNL Carville Tea Party" for some good beak mask fun.
	5:42pm Miss G: RRN63 are they the uilleann pipes? I learned of them from a novel this year.
	♥ 5:42pm coelacanth∅: mariano wfmu.org... ...unfortunately the avatars of the past update with future changes. if it weren't so the comments boards of the past might hold more future humour
	♥ 5:43pm TDK60: Then a top Rollings cut (with spooky organ).
	♥ 5:43pm mariano: Glen Campbell played bagpipes? The world just became a cooler place. Just how I reacted last night when a listener from Vatican City chimed in: imagine that, FMU at the Vatican.
	♥ 5:44pm slugluv1313: those bagpipes (?) were just perfect, after coming upstairs from the EVIL LAUNDRY
	5:44pm Miss G: coelacanth∅ I thought you were doing a Minimal Man.
	♥ 5:44pm tim from champaign (now washington): I wish the Stones still sounded like this.
	🎸 ♥ 5:45pm dale: .....that makes me tend to leave my bag pipe rolled up and stashed behind your couch...
	5:45pm David in London: Mariano, I know, I was absolutely stunned. He was amazing, too. I remember he said, “Hey, I am a Campbell”.
	🎸 ♥ 5:45pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, mariano. I need to shorten my afternoon naps somewhat. I failed to catch the whole show today.
	♥ 5:46pm spodiodi: coel-l∅ nice av B^)
	♥ 5:46pm slugluv1313: take care, Handy!
	♥ 5:46pm ultradamno: So on the Old Codger playlist there's talk of "tonight's impending Fablo disclosures". Goodness, controversy brewing.
	🎸 ♥ 5:47pm Rev. Turnip Druid: back from meeting just in time to see this lovely world come to an end.
	♥ 5:47pm slugluv1313: totally intrigued by "Tanna"! SO many films, so little time!
	5:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @MissG: They are Irish Pipes...maybe? I'll find out ! He has to make his own reeds - it really impresses me...
	♥ 5:48pm TDK60: Miss G, I do believe uilleann pipes are the Irish ones. The Scots one different.
	♥ 5:48pm mariano: Now Ken, you had one job! David: my cousin's husband plays bagpipes, marches in the St Pat's parades. He's pretty good: he played a medley at their Christmas party last year. He's NYC Irish. I asked him if he ever played with the Scottish group here in NOLA that's in all the parades. He made a dismissive sound and called them "a bunch of Jacobite wannabes."
	5:49pm Miss G: I listened to some music of the uilleann pipes and I was astounded. It would be corny for me to say "they touched an ancient cord in me" but. . .
	♥ 5:49pm mariano: Ah ok thanks coela. Cool painting.
	5:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @TDK60 & MissG: Sounds like yes then...
	5:50pm brainiac: An early warning appears on The Old Codger chat board — A certain Lolabelle Pancake says: "Be sure not to miss this week's program. Courtney is finally going to blow the lid off the Fablo scandals!"
	🎸 ♥ 5:51pm diciassette: Well, there goes my afternoon
	♥ 5:51pm spodiodi: a few of us made avs from the painting on the day that show aired, mariano
	♥ 5:51pm mariano: Just saw a clip of Galician bagpipes, was really gorgeous. David: but man, just to have seen Glen Campbell. The closest I ever got to a show like that was Tony Orlando in Vegas when I was 12.
	5:51pm brainiac: She may have meant to type "sandals," bless her heart.
	5:52pm Miss G: Hmm, perhaps at the Hot Box was found a mink, and some poils. . .some shoes, and a hat. . .
	♥ 5:52pm spodiodi: it just happened and was pretty fun(ny)
	5:52pm David in London: Heck, don’t tell me it was Fabio who really did in Roberto Calvi?
	5:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @MissG: That's precisely the feeling I get - archetypal ancestral. He informs though that the Irish Trad is not so ancient as generally believed...
	♥ 5:53pm mariano: brainiac: Oh you know it must be bad if the bigwigs aren't talking about it. I mean, look at that picture of him up top. If that's not the crazed look of a hardcore marijuana addict, I'm Lillie Langtry.
	♥ 5:53pm slugluv1313: @ mariano -- Decibel is still going strong! www.sakebardecibel.com... is this the joint that you have to walk down stairs to get to? if so -- have walked by there numerous times (i worked at St. Marks Vet in the 90s, also on East 9th Street), but never went inside!
	5:53pm ami ad: Thank you DJ,Crew. Pleasant failings today. Don't forget to cover your shame.
	🎸 ♥ 5:54pm Rev. Turnip Druid: the strings behind Nico have me thinking Plastic People of the Universe, & there's the evening playlist sorted.
	🎸 ♥ 5:54pm dale: tony orlando! everywhere for a few years and then - not so much.
	♥ 5:55pm mariano: Ah thanks slugluv! Yep, it was kinda silly but you had to knock and they opened a little slot in the door to check you out. They have a really good menu too, all Japanese bar food. Thank you Fabio and Skeleton Crew! Had a blast jawin' with everyone, take care!
	♥ 5:55pm tim from champaign (now washington): Thanks Fabio!
	♥ 5:55pm TDK60: Thanks Fabio.
	5:55pm Miss G: Thank you Fabio and Mat! Some things to hold on to during the smoke and dreams filled days
	♥ 5:55pm spodiodi: thanks, Fabio. great show! loved the first two sets thanks, skeleton crew!
	5:55pm brainiac: @mariano: Very nice to meet you, Miss Langtry. Thanks for the show Fabio, and for the good company e'erybody.
	♥ 5:56pm chris: thanks, Fabio and Skels! take good care, peeps.
	♥ 5:56pm mariano: dale: That's because of his ill-advised attempt at a rap career. [poker face... poker face...] brainiac: Why thank you, young man. So rare to encounter a real gentleman these days.
	5:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx As Ever DJ Fabio.
	♥ 5:57pm slugluv1313: ahhh NICO so soothing somehow :) thank you so much, Fabio, Skeletons for such splendid FAILURE
	5:57pm David in London: Mariano. It was a weird show because it was just prior to his ‘cool reassessment’. The (large) audience was predominantly elderly ladies, with a few rockabilly / Americana aficionados scattered in clumps here and there. He was terrific though. He even did some Beach Boys number (“Hell, I was Beach Boy, why shouldn’t I?”)
	5:58pm bLeubomberune b: Bonsoir Fabio Life long and broadcast
	5:58pm David in London: Great show Fabio. Goodnight all you good people. I’m going to try and stay awake for 11 Harrowhouse on cinephobe...
	♥ 5:58pm mariano: That's so cool David. And the bagpipe thing is the cherry on top.
	5:58pm watchpocket: Nico seems to know a total of 3 notes in her vocal. Vary it up a little? An otherwise nice arrangement.
	5:58pm P-90: Thanks once again Fabio. That codger guy always has some kind of beef, but your show is A-OK in my book, yessir!
	5:59pm HexFamChan: <3 NICO. Awesome Show, thanks Fabio!
	5:59pm Andres: Thank you Fabio!!! I should have played it louder but family needs attention sometimes:)
	♥ 5:59pm mariano: Ooh, Charles Grodin, my spirit animal!
	🎸 ♥ 5:59pm Stanley: Very enjoyable show. Thanks Fab. Good night all.
	♥ 5:59pm slugluv1313: hiya watchpocket! HAH! and i always thought that i could not "sing"!
	🎸 ♥ 6:00pm dale: this is groovy background music. sounds like that zodiac album.
	♥ 6:01pm TDK60: Fab., ya forgot the next-to-last cut.
	6:01pm watchpocket: @slugluv1313: But of course, Nico is Nico.
	♥ 6:01pm Ike: Thanks Fabio!
	♥ 6:01pm slugluv1313: @ David in London -- ooooo so jealous never got to see Glen Campbell at all!
	6:06pm P-90: Why not leave li’l Fablo in peace, and pick on someone your own age?
	♥ 8:39pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Fabio
	8:03pm pj: Fabio that picture looks like an outtake from the Satan Is Real album cover photo shoot. Thanks for another great show from quarantine!
