	♥ 7:34pm Carmichael: ↳ laurapanic @7:33 Northern territory town of a dozen. Quite the doc of a little town with big problems, with homicide at the top of the list.
	🤯 ♥ 7:34pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ chresti @7:30 There's Sunn o)) which I still pronounce "Sunn-O" but I've been told it's just "Sun"
	7:34pm HollyRT: ↳ chresti @7:30 Sunn O)))?
	🤯 ♥ 7:34pm tim: ↳ laurapanic @7:32 That’s a newish attitude for me. That’s how I feel about Taylor Swift - hahaha! I,ver heard her. Probably wouldn’t like it but congrats on being the biggest star in the world! Hahaha.
	♥ 7:35pm Scott_Oz: ↳ laurapanic @7:32 Cheers mate! 🍻😎🤙💨☕🌻
	♥ 7:35pm Dave Mandl: Yeah, Sunn takes their name from an amplifier company. Look it up.
	♥ 7:35pm Carmichael: These guys are Norwegian? Never heard of 'em, but sounding great!
	7:35pm ?: ↳ Song: "In Taberna" by "Wobbler" That opening sounded like a piece from Steve Hackett's "Please Don't Touch"
	♥ 7:35pm Dave Mandl: The O))) was actually the company logo.
	♥ 7:35pm maestroso: ↳ Song: "In Taberna" by "Wobbler" Oh man, this is good stuff.

	7:36pm HollyRT: ↳ maestroso @7:35 the parentheses supposed to represent sound waves?

	🤯 ♥ 7:37pm tim: ↳ HollyRT @7:34 To make things more complicated, isn’t there a Sunn Trio unrelated to Sunn o)))?
	7:37pm drumbone: This is a fun track. Kinda Gentle Giant-ish
	7:37pm Jackie G: ↳ @7:36 Musta been a cape. Or boots. Squire was so cool.
	♥ 7:37pm Dave Mandl: I used to own a Sunn amp. It was great.

	♥ 7:39pm Dave Mandl: @Carmichael: Thanks for the link.
	🤯 ♥ 7:40pm tim: To make things really complicated, Sunn o))) were Earth worshipers and got the amp worship from Sleep who worshiped Orange amps.
	7:40pm erik-O-vert: ↳ Song: "Inanaki" by "Wha-Ha-Ha" Wha Ha Ha was a frequent WFMU spin back in the 80s. Absolutely top all-time favorite Japanese (or any!) groups. All their recordings (2 albums and a Dub Ep) are Highly Recommended!
	7:41pm Troy: ↳ tim @7:40 Ha! Orange amps look & sound pretty great.
	🤯 ♥ 7:41pm tim: ↳ Song: "In Taberna" by "Wobbler" You’re right, Dave. This song pulls out all the prod stops.

	🤯 ♥ 7:44pm listener phat in Lincoln: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:35 Yes. One of these days I'll fix my Sunn o))) amp.
	🤯 ♥ 7:45pm listener phat in Lincoln: I'm still going to call the band Sunn o lol

	7:56pm Will: Best show yet Dave. Each band was great IMO. Dig deep my friend!
	♥ 7:56pm Dave Mandl: Tyoy is right. I meant to mention that. Sheila did a great interview with Belew, and you should look for it in the FMU archives.
	7:56pm Jackie G: ↳ Song: "Walk Around the World" by "Adrian Belew" We loves us some Adrian Belew in all flavors.
	♥ 7:56pm bleubombersune: Dave superb hour of prog, all stay safe and be well
