Listener comments!
	👻 3:04pm Ken From Hyde Park: The Failure of 2025
	👻 3:04pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: HI HO
	3:04pm Carmichael: Heya Fabio and soundtrack lovers.
	3:04pm Handy Haversack: Fabio! Failsafes! Wearing my STF T-shirt today, so at least that is going my way.
	3:05pm listener james from westwood: Afternoon, Fabio and all!
	3:05pm Triple G: Twenty twenty-fiiii hoooo Hi Fabio and all
	👻 3:05pm Crosby in KC: Hello, Fabio and all. Happy new year!
	👻 3:05pm chresti: Hi Fabio giant man show!
	3:05pm Ike: Greetings, you damn dirty hippies!!!!
	3:06pm JohnnyReno: Good be part of the first failure of the year
	3:06pm The Oscar: I'd know that static anywhere!
	3:07pm ironybread: For some reason I am reminded of the fact that Peorgie Tirebiter is both a spy...and a girl delighter
	3:08pm Handy Haversack: My radio picked up the voice of someone's GPS system's directions from a car driving past my bldg. today, which I'd never encountered before and that now has me suspicious of every staticky voice!
	👻 3:09pm Rev. Turnip Druid: perfect sonic backdrop for a burning cybertruck in front of that building on new year's day
	👻 3:09pm Rev. Turnip Druid: also. hello.
	3:10pm TDK60: Hello Fabio. Best for the smooth running of this momentous radio adventure.
	👻 3:10pm chresti: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:08 That could get confusing if you don't know where you're going
	3:10pm fred: Hello Fabio and all
	3:10pm tim: Hello Fabio! Happy New Year! Cro-Magnon is just about right for 2025. Hello everyone!
	3:12pm jeanli: HNY!
	3:12pm tim: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:08 I might have accidentally posted "Party at Handy's!!!!" on tik tok so there may be a few more interruptions coming.
	3:12pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:08 Maybe you also remember part of the setup for Ken's prank on Andy and wonder if the cats might be plotting something
	3:13pm Mephistopheles: Hmm, apparently I've been conflating Cromagnon and the Cro-Mags.
	3:14pm herb.nyc: Ken told me Fabio’s Nielsen ratings have gone up 67% after winning the theme song contest on 7sd. Let’s hope it doesn’t go to his pretty head. Happy new year!
	3:15pm bleubombersune: Fabio and all pseudo failures Greetings and salutations
	👻 3:16pm 2/3 of the Perrin Family: happy new year
	👻 3:16pm Rev. Turnip Druid: th'PINHAS.
	3:17pm sleepy: Happy 2025 FABulous folks!
	3:23pm Adi From Sheffield: Good evening and Happy New Year all
	3:25pm Gaston: Happy New Year 2025. However, with the recent shooting in NYC, I feel like staying home for the rest of the year. Anyone else feeling vaguely paranoid?
	3:26pm WM: @ironybread: Only recently I found out that the name of Adolf Hitler's father was originally Schicklgruber. So that's the joke of the Firesign Theater comment "the President's name is Schicklgruber."
	3:26pm bobobobob plasticland: music from Nosferatu
	3:30pm Carmichael: Speaking of soundtracks, I just saw Kneecap last night (Netflix). If you like Irish language rap music (and who doesn't??), it's a lot of fun. At its core, it's about culture appropriation via banning of native language.
	3:30pm bobob palindrome: Hey Handy!!..where you get STF tee shirt? I want one!
	3:31pm Acid Cazh: Happy New Year Fabio & Fellow Fabioids 💀🕶️🥂
	3:32pm βrian: I still think being nostalgic about the 90s is like being nostalgic about last Tuesday.
	3:32pm tim: Did you catch a case of Disco Fever, Fabio?
	3:32pm Handy Haversack: ↳ bobob palindrome @3:30 bobobobob! It was Fabio's Marathon Premium in ... 2022? Not sure they're available anywhere!
	3:33pm tim: ↳ bobobobob plasticland @3:26 Hey bobobob!
	3:33pm TDK60: Happy quarter century in already. 2012 feels like two months ago.
	3:34pm Acid Cazh: ↳ TDK60 @3:33 2000 seems like six... well, maybe nine months ago.
	3:35pm Ike: ↳ Song: "Caledonia" by "Cromagnon" I think maybe Stan used to play this a lot, right?
	3:35pm Adi From Sheffield: Peter Wyngarde was very much the dandy figure. 😁
	3:36pm listener james from westwood: Wyngarde's face appears in the dictionary next to "louche."
	3:36pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Ike @3:35 Ken plays is sometimes.
	3:36pm TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @3:33 But last spring '24 seems ages ago.
	3:39pm Ike: ↳ Gaston @3:25 Nope. Be careful what kind of news you're consuming, particularly from your devices where the algorithm will push the most disturbing and extreme content possible to improve engagement and increase profits. NYC still has a lower violent crime rate than most places, equal to or lower than many rural areas per capita. Do not process news with emotion; process with numbers only. Your emotions are their profit.
	3:42pm tim: ↳ Song: "Church of Anthrax" by "John Cale & Terry Riley" This is so excellent! Word has it that neither Cale nor Terry Riley were happy wiht the results. I'm pretty happy with it!
	3:42pm pmcWhenever: been hunting this vinyl for a while always too dear…
	👻 3:44pm newton: ↳ βrian @3:32 I miss the 90s
	3:45pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Church of Anthrax" by "John Cale & Terry Riley" sounds good
	👻 3:45pm newton: ↳ βrian @3:32 except the soul patches on white guys faces
	3:46pm JohnnyReno: ↳ Song: "Church of Anthrax" by "John Cale & Terry Riley" The Church of Anthrax is fun until they pass the collection plate
	3:46pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Ike @3:39 great advice
	3:46pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ tim @3:42 Hi Tim!
	3:47pm tim: ↳ Marie in Chicago @3:46 Hey Marie! Happy new year! I got your text about Amyl. I'll get back to you soon!
	3:47pm tim: ↳ Song: "Light Field (In Consonance)" by "Glenn Branca" What a follow up!
	3:48pm jim in the d: Branca!
	3:48pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Fabio glad you're feeling better!
	3:50pm bobobobob plasticland: I lent my drums to Glenn Branca when he played UWM..I didn't get paid ..but seen the concert for Free!!
	3:50pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:32 It's not in either the store or the prize warehouse. Maybe they were only made based on how many were selected my pledgers
	3:52pm Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @3:50 Yeah, I'm sure they try to keep the orders pretty close to the demand.
	3:52pm bobobobob: thanks Handy .I figured you were gonna say that. bc I've looked for a tee like that and didn't find any
	3:52pm bobob: hey Tim!!
	3:53pm JohnnyReno: ↳ tim @3:47 Was it about poppers or the Aussie punk band? Either way, please text me too.
	3:53pm brycepunk1: Really digging this Glenn Branca track :)
	3:53pm northguineahills: looks at playlist "ok everything faved, all's in order" (and i hadn't need to lift a finger)
	3:54pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): About to open my windows and yell at passersby to tune in now or else they'll miss the climax
	3:54pm tim: ↳ JohnnyReno @3:53 Ha! I'll keep you in suspense until you get the text!
	3:55pm nic: total love Glen Branca...!!!
	3:55pm hauswolf: Terrific show
	3:57pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Music With Changing Parts (part 4, excerpt)" by "... haz this on vinyl (but unfortunately, in FL). uh,... i bought it originally at a certain wfmu dj's store almost two decades ago....
	3:57pm tim: ↳ Song: "Music With Changing Parts (part 4, excerpt)" by "... Wow! This is great.
	3:58pm tim: What other Philip Glass records are good? I've never found any Glass that I liked until this.
	3:59pm sleepy: Glad you are feeling better, Fabio! I’ve been dealing with Shingles since early December. I’m gradually feeling better. Some days the pain still flares up….but WAY better than the first weeks. It’s nice to know we can still heal from things.
	3:59pm northguineahills: ↳ tim @3:57 I once did a d&b remix of this piece. mainly as my ass hit the turntable table, and both tracks randomly were already beat matched (i would then repeat it in the future, minus using my tuchus)
	3:59pm northguineahills: ↳ sleepy @3:59 that's hell, glad you're feeling better...
	4:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...reminiscent of seeing you since a sense of synesthesia...
	4:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh yeah. Got the Vids late October ...said that's it - stick me with all you got - vax for Shingles, RSV & Flu all same day...
	4:02pm northguineahills: ↳ tim @3:58 music in 12 parts sounds like this as well... his stuff until the early 80s holds up imho, but now that i know his compositional mo, i like most of his stuff, even his latter stuff....
	4:03pm sleepy: ↳ northguineahills @3:59 It's a work in progress....but I'm getting there. Wouldn't wish Shingles on anyone.
	4:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Now I hear there's a Pneumonia vax ? If I can get that for free in a couple weeks when I get Shingles jab Pt.2...
	4:04pm ranjit: ↳ tim @3:58 I like North Star a lot. It's an old album, very chilly and hypnotic.
	4:04pm northguineahills: ↳ ranjit @4:04 that one too!
	👻 4:04pm newton: ↳ ranjit @4:04 I like north star too
	👻 4:05pm newton: 99 macdougal street
	4:06pm tim: Thanks for the Glass tips, ngh and Ranjit!
	4:06pm sleepy: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:01 Good plan! I also had covid in September. Wish my doctor suggested getting shingles vax. Seems to be a common thing post Covid. Bet u felt those, taking them all at once!
	4:07pm northguineahills: ↳ ranjit @4:04 once upon a time you could find the original music w/ changing parts on youtube (the video).... but that was 19 years ago...
	4:07pm WM: I attended the premiere of Glen Branca's Symphony No. 2 (The Peak of the Sacred) in May 1982 at St. Mark's Church on the LES. My ears are still ringing The performance was eventually released on CD by Atavistic Record in 1992. I also had the Ascension when it first came out in 1981
	👻 4:07pm xtrakrispy: 99 Records released the first Bush Tetras records. Being a friend of the band I am required to make that statement.
	4:07pm northguineahills: ↳ newton @4:05 that was the place!
	4:10pm Skeets: Don't all ways catch your show ,busy with work. But it's awesome ! Never disappoints !! Funny also your voice is almost exact to an old friend of mine !! Wonderful ! Happy new year to all !!
	4:11pm Knasterask: Hi! Fun! Fun! I hope Dorith Crystler can make it to visit the studio with you. Look forward to that. Cheers!
	4:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ sleepy @4:06 Well in fact - I dosed large on Tylenol & Wellness tablets from the health store - drank a lot of Knudsen brand MegaAntiOxidant juice ...went to a high energy Rawk show & walked two hours home from it. & didn't really notice !
	4:12pm northguineahills: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:11 takes notes
	4:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:11 ...but here's the weird part. Been feeling sore under my tongue - & dry & chapped around my piehole. So I went back to that Free Clinic - & asked if that could be a reaction to the Shingles vax ? The receptionist said however that her Doctor said sores under the tongue could be a Covid symptom ! Cause remember this thing is still mutating - & who knows what it's doing... So - what could it be doing to my insides ??...
	4:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Pop'eclectic" by "Bernard Parmegiani" Sampling SmallFaces' 'Ogden's Nut Gone Flake'...
	4:15pm listener james from westwood: ↳ sleepy @4:06 Co-sign the shingles vax. Even if you got it ages back. The newer shots are better, and having had the older ones didn't stop my dad from getting it something fierce a couple years' back.
	👻 4:16pm newton: Better get the vaxxes while they're still legal
	4:17pm listener james from westwood: I also took advantage of the new, lower starting age for pneumonia shots and got one of those late last year. Can't beat $0.00 for the price.
	4:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ newton @4:16 ...cause saying they wanted Polio back turned out to not be hyperbole whatsoever...
	4:18pm listener james from westwood: ↳ newton @4:16 Oh jeez, with "Doctor" Oobatz coming in, who knows how the hell they'll be dispensed in the future.
	4:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...cause Drumpf only killed millions already by pooching the pandemic response every way conceivable...
	4:19pm kevinInStowMA: Church of Anthrax was released on CD at some point. My copy is on the Wounded Bird label, which is apparently based in Guilderlands.
	4:21pm Yes: Oh baby
	4:21pm nic: this is great !!!
	4:21pm dale: this red bird sounds like he's in a mating ritual. hey fabs.
	4:23pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ tim @3:47 kewl!
	4:23pm nic: love this !!!
	4:25pm sleepy: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:15 Tylenol is known to cause dry mouth. Also has a side effect of headaches. Which is interesting.
	4:26pm sleepy: Fabio, my dog is listening....
	👻 4:31pm chresti: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:15 Coconut oil and therazinc spray
	4:33pm nic: wow loving this ...!!!
	4:36pm honnew: Sick show Fabuloso
	4:43pm The Oscar: Loved Nosferatu as well! My review, if anyone's interested: bostonhassle.com...
	4:44pm common: fabio, all! the mirror! so good
	4:47pm The Oscar: The Delphine Seyrig series is coming up here to the Harvard Film Archive later this month-- I've never seen Jeanne Dielman on the big screen, so I may have to check that one off!
	4:47pm tim: What are the titles of the 202 minute film and the movie starring Delphine Seyrig?
	4:48pm WM: Believe it or not, they filmed part of A Compete Unknown here in Jersey City. They made JC in 2024 look like Greenwich Village in the 1960s. Wouldn't it have been easier to film it in GV itself?
	4:49pm The Oscar: ↳ tim @4:47 "Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles" and "Daughters of Darkness"-- Delphine is in both!
	4:50pm tim: ↳ The Oscar @4:49 Thanks, man!
	4:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ sleepy @4:25 Well - that was Tylenol one day. These symptoms persist even now...
	4:50pm northguineahills: go out for a walk to look at the ice jam on the CT river, and everything is still faved! (liking this new year thusfar).
	4:50pm spodiodi: greetings, Fabio and all
	4:51pm Ike: NJ tax incentives, probably.
	4:51pm Ike: ↳ WM @4:48 Oops.
	4:52pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "la Visite des morts" by "Lionel Marchetti / Yoko ... I hear Negativland samples! (Or at least, samples also used by Negativland).
	4:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ chresti @4:31 Awlright, maybe. I happened upon some hemp oil - & thot that might be helping...
	4:52pm northguineahills: ↳ kevinInStowMA @4:19 i found a vinyl version somehow in 99...
	4:53pm northguineahills: ↳ The Oscar @4:43 will read after i throw nourishment down my gullet!
	4:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ The Oscar @4:43 Bookmarked.
	4:58pm dale: fabio - i see wayne osmond died. got any good clean mormon music?
	4:59pm Mark T: Good evening.
	5:01pm dale: ↳ Song: "Erratic Auto-reverse/Boca Do Inferno/Cracked Shel... i like this spirit box sounding stuff.
	👻 5:06pm newton: ↳ The Oscar @4:43 Oscar, you write very well! I have not seen it, and I have heard strong opinions both for, and against it. Some people I know walked out. I did not like the lighthouse, so am cautious.
	5:07pm jonny: Fabio...Cinematic sound...as always..........
	5:07pm JG: What you mean Complete Unknown didn't treat women well? Do you mean Dylan didn't treat women well? If he didn't treat women well ( I don't know if he did or didn't) why is that a problem with the movie?
	5:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...wonder how CompleteUnknown might pair with 'Inside Llewyn Davis' to make you feel icky about FolkMusic for a while...
	5:12pm Fabio: @ JG: The women are just not given much weight or development in my opinion. They seem to be there simply for Bob's pleasure. Baez gets the most attention, but even she seems barely there. Toshi Seeger is even more of a cipher, which is a pity...
	👻 5:13pm rf: ↳ Song: "Paignton Zoo, 1968" by "Mark Vernon" weird concept
	5:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...or with 'Beatles64' for the period & to make you wonder about these filmmakers...
	5:16pm StringOFperils: Not really great when biopics are half fiction, because that's like more of the insanity we're living, and an audience that doesn't even care whether there's truth or not where it's supposed to be history spells trouble.
	5:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I liked ToddHayne's 'I'm Not There' for being completely impressionistic. I wonder what the object of the exercise of 'Complete Unknown' is...
	5:16pm Carmichael: ↳ Fabio @5:12 I am concerned that the writing didn't come from "authorized" source(s), and that it may therefore be taking liberties with the facts of Dylan's life. I'm also a longtime Dylan fan, and I don't want to be that guy who gets up in a fuss and exits the theatre.
	5:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ StringOFperils @5:16 Precisely.
	5:18pm JG: ↳ Fabio @5:12 And Dylan's mother wasn't even mentioned!
	5:19pm honnew: This is nice music
	5:19pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Erratic Auto-reverse/Boca Do Inferno/Cracked Shel... the mark vernon was very late luc ferrari-esque...
	5:20pm honnew: Er rather, comp of tones
	5:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ StringOFperils @5:16 ...just saw AI animation of some famous classic Beatles photos. Half way kewl - half the starkest example of confusing History I've yet felt...
	5:20pm ironybread: "Just listen to this, check this out." No finer words ever spoken! 😭 #freeform #humanDJ
	👻 5:20pm rf: Carmichael! Sleepytime Gorilla Museum at UC Theater Jan. 25
	👻 5:21pm rf: Or if you don't want to travel that far, Anime Aliens at MusicLandria on same evening T_T
	👻 5:28pm Bas NL: Happy January 2nd Fabio and all!
	5:28pm StringOFperils: ↳ Carmichael @5:16 The film-makers are completely up front about half of it being made up. doesn't seem to be a problem for anyone, which is pretty weird. At least Inside Llewyn Davis wasn't called Inside Dave Van Ronk.
	5:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ StringOFperils @5:28 Okay. Yeah...
	5:29pm northguineahills: ↳ StringOFperils @5:28 well, as a historian, i can say significant amount of history is fiction, and that before we get into autobiographies and bioptics...(you just have to read b/tn the lines)
	5:30pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Cicchitaredu le Finstre" by "Ingar Zack" new to me and digdug!
	5:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:28 ...& yet - still - why. I may well enjoy it.
	👻 5:33pm Bas NL: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:30 I suppose that later in life we are allowed to believe in tales again. :\|
	5:33pm crateslinger: Is this supposed to sound fuzzy?
	5:33pm StringOFperils: ↳ northguineahills @5:29 Pretty much leaves you living in a skyscraper built on sand.
	5:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...of course Dylan was~is a Myth perpetrated by Zimmerman - so he may have been asking for it all along...
	5:34pm StringOFperils: ↳ northguineahills @5:29 Kind of like saying you should just accept Mein Kampf, it's okay. Everyone will just read between the lines.
	5:35pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Carmichael @5:16 I feel like I have already had a peak experience with that movie without having seen it, when Jim the Poet and Micah were talking about vampire movies and a caller tried to change the subject to A Complete Unknown and Dylan, and Micah said, "Talk about a vampire!"! Felt like the final word on the subject to me!
	5:36pm StringOFperils: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:34 Why 'I'm Not There' was right on.
	5:36pm Fabio: I have no issuewith "fictionalization" in movies, but the way "real" details are dealt with can be a problem. So it depends on how the filmmakers choose to represent these things. Biopics in general though are often heavily distanced from the truth. With Dylan, this is even more complicated since he himself has been accused of making stuff up about himself.
	5:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: A cornerstone of Fascism. It's true because I say so... What Hannah Arendt is being quoted about of late - & what Heather Cox Richardson is reporting with Historical understanding...
	5:37pm crateslinger: Maybe I blew a speaker...
	5:40pm crateslinger: Is this supposed to sound bubbly?
	5:40pm nic: Love This ...!!!
	👻 5:40pm Bas NL: Trust your speakers, crateslinger!
	👻 5:40pm rf: New single from La Brea Tar Pits Head????
	5:41pm northguineahills: ↳ StringOFperils @5:34 Well, if you accept that nothing is purely objective, there will always be some fuzziness for the truth. However, w/ ,multiple sources, contemporary or otherwise, archaeology, and in the last 130 years, recorded (sound/video/etc) documentation, it makes it easier to figure where history may or not be. I'm not saying that the truth can't be ascertained, it's just not a fixed point that one may arrive upon just based on what some write or say. (then you get into interdisciplinary studies to help pinpoint context)....
	5:42pm northguineahills: ↳ crateslinger @5:40 when listening to wfmu, i never have a clue, and prefer it that way!
	5:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...equating makers of a Dylan drama with RightWing propagandists ...maybe both of this Time in conflating History with Myth. But maybe also & more charitably sensing this about the Time & proposing a Counter Myth of a different sort of Hero...
	5:44pm northguineahills: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:43 now i want to listen to the greek band, mythos...
	5:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...what's been sticking to my ribs is watching 'There But For Fortune' about PhilOchs again for his B-Day the other month...
	5:48pm northguineahills: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:45 i was just about to mention that!
	5:50pm Brendan: ↳ Song: "Untitled" by "Marija Kovačević" I think those cables could still use a little more tightening. Go ahead I don't think they'll snap.
	👻 5:50pm Rev. Turnip Druid: good lord this is lovely
	5:51pm fred: Does the Dylan movie reveal who introduced him to hot air ballooning? They might have cut that as irrelevant, but any Ken listener knows it's a fateful moment
	5:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Rev. Turnip Druid @5:50 Where else man. Where else.
	5:52pm Harry Corvair: Here for this! Untitled by Marija Kovačević (Music for Broken Violins vol.2 The Chapel)
	5:52pm northguineahills: ↳ fred @5:51 still waiting for that tape to be released! (fingers crossed when the glass is shattered!)
	5:52pm fred: ↳ Rev. Turnip Druid @5:50 agreed!
	👻 5:52pm newton: ↳ fred @5:51 I sharpened my axe today
	5:53pm northguineahills: ↳ Harry Corvair @5:52 what harry said!
	5:53pm StringOFperils: ↳ northguineahills @5:41 I fully accept a broadly accepted recognition, that 'history' is written by 'the victors', and it is also rife with mythologies of the tribes it is speaking to; it supports ideas that further its continuance and its domination over other ideas that might crowd it. That's a broad picture that, indeed, always needs to be weighed. BUT, if I feed a 'public' a narrative about NGH, and I have made up all the details, and I assure them that it's NGH's life story, and I get them to accept that story, regardless of NGH, so that I can make money, so that I can make up more of whatever I feel like, about you and you and you, and nobody employs objectivity (whatever that is at this point) it seems problematic. Devoid of discernment and critique. Dogs and cats are more savvy than that. They instinctively know they'll get killed if they aren't.
	5:54pm nic: Great!!! Love It!!!
	5:55pm northguineahills: ↳ StringOFperils @5:53 not gonna argue that! salud!
	5:55pm northguineahills: awesome fabio, thanks as per usual!
	5:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The human brain is conceptual - & the human ape a Story addict.
	5:56pm common: ↳ Song: "I'm Straight" by "The Modern Lovers" ah, hippy johnny
	5:56pm chresti: Untitled by Marija Kovačević (Music for Broken Violins vol.2 The Chapel) This reminded me of the squeaky door I was playing with yesterday
	5:57pm northguineahills: ↳ chresti @5:56 i have a story adjacent to that. will retell later...
	5:57pm fred: ↳ fred @5:52 She did a record with the Müller brothers, I'll have to ask them about that!
	5:57pm spodiodi: thanks, Fabio!
	5:57pm sleepy: Thanks for the great show, Fabio!
	👻 5:58pm Bas NL: Thanks Fabio!
	👻 5:58pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ↳ Song: "Blau" by "Fuzzy" very much dig Aarhus. Did some ridiculous record-shopping there a while back... Many DKKs fell that day...
	5:58pm Ski: I don't have a problem with Hippy Johnny either!
	👻 5:58pm rf: Fab show
	5:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ Fabio ~
	5:58pm Carmichael: Thanks Fab!
	5:59pm coelacanth∅: ↳ StringOFperils @5:53 amen.
	5:59pm chresti: Thanks Fabio !
	5:59pm coco: Another great show Fabio! Happy New Year
	5:59pm nic: Great!!! Great Show!!! Happy New Year!!!
	👻 5:59pm Bas NL: ↳ Rev. Turnip Druid @5:58 Oww, cool! I'll be visiting Aarhus later this year. I'll look out for the shops!
	5:59pm StringOFperils: Gonna be a great year! Ha ha ha. Thanks Fabio!!
	👻 6:00pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ↳ Bas NL @5:59 Mostly it was Route 66 records. The weird stuff is UPSTAIRS..!
	6:00pm Triple G: Thanks Fabio!
	6:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Fabio!

Listener comments!
	👻 3:04pm Ken From Hyde Park: The Failure of 2025
	👻 3:04pm Threemoons 🌛🌝🌜: HI HO
	3:04pm Carmichael: Heya Fabio and soundtrack lovers.
	3:04pm Handy Haversack: Fabio! Failsafes! Wearing my STF T-shirt today, so at least that is going my way.
	3:05pm listener james from westwood: Afternoon, Fabio and all!
	3:05pm Triple G: Twenty twenty-fiiii hoooo Hi Fabio and all
	👻 3:05pm Crosby in KC: Hello, Fabio and all. Happy new year!
	👻 3:05pm chresti: Hi Fabio giant man show!
	3:05pm Ike: Greetings, you damn dirty hippies!!!!
	3:06pm JohnnyReno: Good be part of the first failure of the year
	3:06pm The Oscar: I'd know that static anywhere!
	3:07pm ironybread: For some reason I am reminded of the fact that Peorgie Tirebiter is both a spy...and a girl delighter
	3:08pm Handy Haversack: My radio picked up the voice of someone's GPS system's directions from a car driving past my bldg. today, which I'd never encountered before and that now has me suspicious of every staticky voice!
	👻 3:09pm Rev. Turnip Druid: perfect sonic backdrop for a burning cybertruck in front of that building on new year's day
	👻 3:09pm Rev. Turnip Druid: also. hello.
	3:10pm TDK60: Hello Fabio. Best for the smooth running of this momentous radio adventure.
	👻 3:10pm chresti: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:08 That could get confusing if you don't know where you're going
	3:10pm fred: Hello Fabio and all
	3:10pm tim: Hello Fabio! Happy New Year! Cro-Magnon is just about right for 2025. Hello everyone!
	3:12pm jeanli: HNY!
	3:12pm tim: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:08 I might have accidentally posted "Party at Handy's!!!!" on tik tok so there may be a few more interruptions coming.
	3:12pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:08 Maybe you also remember part of the setup for Ken's prank on Andy and wonder if the cats might be plotting something
	3:13pm Mephistopheles: Hmm, apparently I've been conflating Cromagnon and the Cro-Mags.
	3:14pm herb.nyc: Ken told me Fabio’s Nielsen ratings have gone up 67% after winning the theme song contest on 7sd. Let’s hope it doesn’t go to his pretty head. Happy new year!
	3:15pm bleubombersune: Fabio and all pseudo failures Greetings and salutations
	👻 3:16pm 2/3 of the Perrin Family: happy new year
	👻 3:16pm Rev. Turnip Druid: th'PINHAS.
	3:17pm sleepy: Happy 2025 FABulous folks!
	3:23pm Adi From Sheffield: Good evening and Happy New Year all
	3:25pm Gaston: Happy New Year 2025. However, with the recent shooting in NYC, I feel like staying home for the rest of the year. Anyone else feeling vaguely paranoid?
	3:26pm WM: @ironybread: Only recently I found out that the name of Adolf Hitler's father was originally Schicklgruber. So that's the joke of the Firesign Theater comment "the President's name is Schicklgruber."
	3:26pm bobobobob plasticland: music from Nosferatu
	3:30pm Carmichael: Speaking of soundtracks, I just saw Kneecap last night (Netflix). If you like Irish language rap music (and who doesn't??), it's a lot of fun. At its core, it's about culture appropriation via banning of native language.
	3:30pm bobob palindrome: Hey Handy!!..where you get STF tee shirt? I want one!
	3:31pm Acid Cazh: Happy New Year Fabio & Fellow Fabioids 💀🕶️🥂
	3:32pm βrian: I still think being nostalgic about the 90s is like being nostalgic about last Tuesday.
	3:32pm tim: Did you catch a case of Disco Fever, Fabio?
	3:32pm Handy Haversack: ↳ bobob palindrome @3:30 bobobobob! It was Fabio's Marathon Premium in ... 2022? Not sure they're available anywhere!
	3:33pm tim: ↳ bobobobob plasticland @3:26 Hey bobobob!
	3:33pm TDK60: Happy quarter century in already. 2012 feels like two months ago.
	3:34pm Acid Cazh: ↳ TDK60 @3:33 2000 seems like six... well, maybe nine months ago.
	3:35pm Ike: ↳ Song: "Caledonia" by "Cromagnon" I think maybe Stan used to play this a lot, right?
	3:35pm Adi From Sheffield: Peter Wyngarde was very much the dandy figure. 😁
	3:36pm listener james from westwood: Wyngarde's face appears in the dictionary next to "louche."
	3:36pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Ike @3:35 Ken plays is sometimes.
	3:36pm TDK60: ↳ TDK60 @3:33 But last spring '24 seems ages ago.
	3:39pm Ike: ↳ Gaston @3:25 Nope. Be careful what kind of news you're consuming, particularly from your devices where the algorithm will push the most disturbing and extreme content possible to improve engagement and increase profits. NYC still has a lower violent crime rate than most places, equal to or lower than many rural areas per capita. Do not process news with emotion; process with numbers only. Your emotions are their profit.
	3:42pm tim: ↳ Song: "Church of Anthrax" by "John Cale & Terry Riley" This is so excellent! Word has it that neither Cale nor Terry Riley were happy wiht the results. I'm pretty happy with it!
	3:42pm pmcWhenever: been hunting this vinyl for a while always too dear…
	👻 3:44pm newton: ↳ βrian @3:32 I miss the 90s
	3:45pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Church of Anthrax" by "John Cale & Terry Riley" sounds good
	👻 3:45pm newton: ↳ βrian @3:32 except the soul patches on white guys faces
	3:46pm JohnnyReno: ↳ Song: "Church of Anthrax" by "John Cale & Terry Riley" The Church of Anthrax is fun until they pass the collection plate
	3:46pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Ike @3:39 great advice
	3:46pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ tim @3:42 Hi Tim!
	3:47pm tim: ↳ Marie in Chicago @3:46 Hey Marie! Happy new year! I got your text about Amyl. I'll get back to you soon!
	3:47pm tim: ↳ Song: "Light Field (In Consonance)" by "Glenn Branca" What a follow up!
	3:48pm jim in the d: Branca!
	3:48pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Fabio glad you're feeling better!
	3:50pm bobobobob plasticland: I lent my drums to Glenn Branca when he played UWM..I didn't get paid ..but seen the concert for Free!!
	3:50pm fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:32 It's not in either the store or the prize warehouse. Maybe they were only made based on how many were selected my pledgers
	3:52pm Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @3:50 Yeah, I'm sure they try to keep the orders pretty close to the demand.
	3:52pm bobobobob: thanks Handy .I figured you were gonna say that. bc I've looked for a tee like that and didn't find any
	3:52pm bobob: hey Tim!!
	3:53pm JohnnyReno: ↳ tim @3:47 Was it about poppers or the Aussie punk band? Either way, please text me too.
	3:53pm brycepunk1: Really digging this Glenn Branca track :)
	3:53pm northguineahills: looks at playlist "ok everything faved, all's in order" (and i hadn't need to lift a finger)
	3:54pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): About to open my windows and yell at passersby to tune in now or else they'll miss the climax
	3:54pm tim: ↳ JohnnyReno @3:53 Ha! I'll keep you in suspense until you get the text!
	3:55pm nic: total love Glen Branca...!!!
	3:55pm hauswolf: Terrific show
	3:57pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Music With Changing Parts (part 4, excerpt)" by "... haz this on vinyl (but unfortunately, in FL). uh,... i bought it originally at a certain wfmu dj's store almost two decades ago....
	3:57pm tim: ↳ Song: "Music With Changing Parts (part 4, excerpt)" by "... Wow! This is great.
	3:58pm tim: What other Philip Glass records are good? I've never found any Glass that I liked until this.
	3:59pm sleepy: Glad you are feeling better, Fabio! I’ve been dealing with Shingles since early December. I’m gradually feeling better. Some days the pain still flares up….but WAY better than the first weeks. It’s nice to know we can still heal from things.
	3:59pm northguineahills: ↳ tim @3:57 I once did a d&b remix of this piece. mainly as my ass hit the turntable table, and both tracks randomly were already beat matched (i would then repeat it in the future, minus using my tuchus)
	3:59pm northguineahills: ↳ sleepy @3:59 that's hell, glad you're feeling better...
	4:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...reminiscent of seeing you since a sense of synesthesia...
	4:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh yeah. Got the Vids late October ...said that's it - stick me with all you got - vax for Shingles, RSV & Flu all same day...
	4:02pm northguineahills: ↳ tim @3:58 music in 12 parts sounds like this as well... his stuff until the early 80s holds up imho, but now that i know his compositional mo, i like most of his stuff, even his latter stuff....
	4:03pm sleepy: ↳ northguineahills @3:59 It's a work in progress....but I'm getting there. Wouldn't wish Shingles on anyone.
	4:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Now I hear there's a Pneumonia vax ? If I can get that for free in a couple weeks when I get Shingles jab Pt.2...
	4:04pm ranjit: ↳ tim @3:58 I like North Star a lot. It's an old album, very chilly and hypnotic.
	4:04pm northguineahills: ↳ ranjit @4:04 that one too!
	👻 4:04pm newton: ↳ ranjit @4:04 I like north star too
	👻 4:05pm newton: 99 macdougal street
	4:06pm tim: Thanks for the Glass tips, ngh and Ranjit!
	4:06pm sleepy: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:01 Good plan! I also had covid in September. Wish my doctor suggested getting shingles vax. Seems to be a common thing post Covid. Bet u felt those, taking them all at once!
	4:07pm northguineahills: ↳ ranjit @4:04 once upon a time you could find the original music w/ changing parts on youtube (the video).... but that was 19 years ago...
	4:07pm WM: I attended the premiere of Glen Branca's Symphony No. 2 (The Peak of the Sacred) in May 1982 at St. Mark's Church on the LES. My ears are still ringing The performance was eventually released on CD by Atavistic Record in 1992. I also had the Ascension when it first came out in 1981
	👻 4:07pm xtrakrispy: 99 Records released the first Bush Tetras records. Being a friend of the band I am required to make that statement.
	4:07pm northguineahills: ↳ newton @4:05 that was the place!
	4:10pm Skeets: Don't all ways catch your show ,busy with work. But it's awesome ! Never disappoints !! Funny also your voice is almost exact to an old friend of mine !! Wonderful ! Happy new year to all !!
	4:11pm Knasterask: Hi! Fun! Fun! I hope Dorith Crystler can make it to visit the studio with you. Look forward to that. Cheers!
	4:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ sleepy @4:06 Well in fact - I dosed large on Tylenol & Wellness tablets from the health store - drank a lot of Knudsen brand MegaAntiOxidant juice ...went to a high energy Rawk show & walked two hours home from it. & didn't really notice !
	4:12pm northguineahills: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:11 takes notes
	4:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:11 ...but here's the weird part. Been feeling sore under my tongue - & dry & chapped around my piehole. So I went back to that Free Clinic - & asked if that could be a reaction to the Shingles vax ? The receptionist said however that her Doctor said sores under the tongue could be a Covid symptom ! Cause remember this thing is still mutating - & who knows what it's doing... So - what could it be doing to my insides ??...
	4:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Pop'eclectic" by "Bernard Parmegiani" Sampling SmallFaces' 'Ogden's Nut Gone Flake'...
	4:15pm listener james from westwood: ↳ sleepy @4:06 Co-sign the shingles vax. Even if you got it ages back. The newer shots are better, and having had the older ones didn't stop my dad from getting it something fierce a couple years' back.
	👻 4:16pm newton: Better get the vaxxes while they're still legal
	4:17pm listener james from westwood: I also took advantage of the new, lower starting age for pneumonia shots and got one of those late last year. Can't beat $0.00 for the price.
	4:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ newton @4:16 ...cause saying they wanted Polio back turned out to not be hyperbole whatsoever...
	4:18pm listener james from westwood: ↳ newton @4:16 Oh jeez, with "Doctor" Oobatz coming in, who knows how the hell they'll be dispensed in the future.
	4:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...cause Drumpf only killed millions already by pooching the pandemic response every way conceivable...
	4:19pm kevinInStowMA: Church of Anthrax was released on CD at some point. My copy is on the Wounded Bird label, which is apparently based in Guilderlands.
	4:21pm Yes: Oh baby
	4:21pm nic: this is great !!!
	4:21pm dale: this red bird sounds like he's in a mating ritual. hey fabs.
	4:23pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ tim @3:47 kewl!
	4:23pm nic: love this !!!
	4:25pm sleepy: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:15 Tylenol is known to cause dry mouth. Also has a side effect of headaches. Which is interesting.
	4:26pm sleepy: Fabio, my dog is listening....
	👻 4:31pm chresti: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @4:15 Coconut oil and therazinc spray
	4:33pm nic: wow loving this ...!!!
	4:36pm honnew: Sick show Fabuloso
	4:43pm The Oscar: Loved Nosferatu as well! My review, if anyone's interested: bostonhassle.com...
	4:44pm common: fabio, all! the mirror! so good
	4:47pm The Oscar: The Delphine Seyrig series is coming up here to the Harvard Film Archive later this month-- I've never seen Jeanne Dielman on the big screen, so I may have to check that one off!
	4:47pm tim: What are the titles of the 202 minute film and the movie starring Delphine Seyrig?
	4:48pm WM: Believe it or not, they filmed part of A Compete Unknown here in Jersey City. They made JC in 2024 look like Greenwich Village in the 1960s. Wouldn't it have been easier to film it in GV itself?
	4:49pm The Oscar: ↳ tim @4:47 "Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles" and "Daughters of Darkness"-- Delphine is in both!
	4:50pm tim: ↳ The Oscar @4:49 Thanks, man!
	4:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ sleepy @4:25 Well - that was Tylenol one day. These symptoms persist even now...
	4:50pm northguineahills: go out for a walk to look at the ice jam on the CT river, and everything is still faved! (liking this new year thusfar).
	4:50pm spodiodi: greetings, Fabio and all
	4:51pm Ike: NJ tax incentives, probably.
	4:51pm Ike: ↳ WM @4:48 Oops.
	4:52pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "la Visite des morts" by "Lionel Marchetti / Yoko ... I hear Negativland samples! (Or at least, samples also used by Negativland).
	4:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ chresti @4:31 Awlright, maybe. I happened upon some hemp oil - & thot that might be helping...
	4:52pm northguineahills: ↳ kevinInStowMA @4:19 i found a vinyl version somehow in 99...
	4:53pm northguineahills: ↳ The Oscar @4:43 will read after i throw nourishment down my gullet!
	4:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ The Oscar @4:43 Bookmarked.
	4:58pm dale: fabio - i see wayne osmond died. got any good clean mormon music?
	4:59pm Mark T: Good evening.
	5:01pm dale: ↳ Song: "Erratic Auto-reverse/Boca Do Inferno/Cracked Shel... i like this spirit box sounding stuff.
	👻 5:06pm newton: ↳ The Oscar @4:43 Oscar, you write very well! I have not seen it, and I have heard strong opinions both for, and against it. Some people I know walked out. I did not like the lighthouse, so am cautious.
	5:07pm jonny: Fabio...Cinematic sound...as always..........
	5:07pm JG: What you mean Complete Unknown didn't treat women well? Do you mean Dylan didn't treat women well? If he didn't treat women well ( I don't know if he did or didn't) why is that a problem with the movie?
	5:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...wonder how CompleteUnknown might pair with 'Inside Llewyn Davis' to make you feel icky about FolkMusic for a while...
	5:12pm Fabio: @ JG: The women are just not given much weight or development in my opinion. They seem to be there simply for Bob's pleasure. Baez gets the most attention, but even she seems barely there. Toshi Seeger is even more of a cipher, which is a pity...
	👻 5:13pm rf: ↳ Song: "Paignton Zoo, 1968" by "Mark Vernon" weird concept
	5:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...or with 'Beatles64' for the period & to make you wonder about these filmmakers...
	5:16pm StringOFperils: Not really great when biopics are half fiction, because that's like more of the insanity we're living, and an audience that doesn't even care whether there's truth or not where it's supposed to be history spells trouble.
	5:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I liked ToddHayne's 'I'm Not There' for being completely impressionistic. I wonder what the object of the exercise of 'Complete Unknown' is...
	5:16pm Carmichael: ↳ Fabio @5:12 I am concerned that the writing didn't come from "authorized" source(s), and that it may therefore be taking liberties with the facts of Dylan's life. I'm also a longtime Dylan fan, and I don't want to be that guy who gets up in a fuss and exits the theatre.
	5:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ StringOFperils @5:16 Precisely.
	5:18pm JG: ↳ Fabio @5:12 And Dylan's mother wasn't even mentioned!
	5:19pm honnew: This is nice music
	5:19pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Erratic Auto-reverse/Boca Do Inferno/Cracked Shel... the mark vernon was very late luc ferrari-esque...
	5:20pm honnew: Er rather, comp of tones
	5:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ StringOFperils @5:16 ...just saw AI animation of some famous classic Beatles photos. Half way kewl - half the starkest example of confusing History I've yet felt...
	5:20pm ironybread: "Just listen to this, check this out." No finer words ever spoken! 😭 #freeform #humanDJ
	👻 5:20pm rf: Carmichael! Sleepytime Gorilla Museum at UC Theater Jan. 25
	👻 5:21pm rf: Or if you don't want to travel that far, Anime Aliens at MusicLandria on same evening T_T
	👻 5:28pm Bas NL: Happy January 2nd Fabio and all!
	5:28pm StringOFperils: ↳ Carmichael @5:16 The film-makers are completely up front about half of it being made up. doesn't seem to be a problem for anyone, which is pretty weird. At least Inside Llewyn Davis wasn't called Inside Dave Van Ronk.
	5:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ StringOFperils @5:28 Okay. Yeah...
	5:29pm northguineahills: ↳ StringOFperils @5:28 well, as a historian, i can say significant amount of history is fiction, and that before we get into autobiographies and bioptics...(you just have to read b/tn the lines)
	5:30pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Cicchitaredu le Finstre" by "Ingar Zack" new to me and digdug!
	5:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:28 ...& yet - still - why. I may well enjoy it.
	👻 5:33pm Bas NL: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:30 I suppose that later in life we are allowed to believe in tales again. :\|
	5:33pm crateslinger: Is this supposed to sound fuzzy?
	5:33pm StringOFperils: ↳ northguineahills @5:29 Pretty much leaves you living in a skyscraper built on sand.
	5:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...of course Dylan was~is a Myth perpetrated by Zimmerman - so he may have been asking for it all along...
	5:34pm StringOFperils: ↳ northguineahills @5:29 Kind of like saying you should just accept Mein Kampf, it's okay. Everyone will just read between the lines.
	5:35pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Carmichael @5:16 I feel like I have already had a peak experience with that movie without having seen it, when Jim the Poet and Micah were talking about vampire movies and a caller tried to change the subject to A Complete Unknown and Dylan, and Micah said, "Talk about a vampire!"! Felt like the final word on the subject to me!
	5:36pm StringOFperils: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:34 Why 'I'm Not There' was right on.
	5:36pm Fabio: I have no issuewith "fictionalization" in movies, but the way "real" details are dealt with can be a problem. So it depends on how the filmmakers choose to represent these things. Biopics in general though are often heavily distanced from the truth. With Dylan, this is even more complicated since he himself has been accused of making stuff up about himself.
	5:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: A cornerstone of Fascism. It's true because I say so... What Hannah Arendt is being quoted about of late - & what Heather Cox Richardson is reporting with Historical understanding...
	5:37pm crateslinger: Maybe I blew a speaker...
	5:40pm crateslinger: Is this supposed to sound bubbly?
	5:40pm nic: Love This ...!!!
	👻 5:40pm Bas NL: Trust your speakers, crateslinger!
	👻 5:40pm rf: New single from La Brea Tar Pits Head????
	5:41pm northguineahills: ↳ StringOFperils @5:34 Well, if you accept that nothing is purely objective, there will always be some fuzziness for the truth. However, w/ ,multiple sources, contemporary or otherwise, archaeology, and in the last 130 years, recorded (sound/video/etc) documentation, it makes it easier to figure where history may or not be. I'm not saying that the truth can't be ascertained, it's just not a fixed point that one may arrive upon just based on what some write or say. (then you get into interdisciplinary studies to help pinpoint context)....
	5:42pm northguineahills: ↳ crateslinger @5:40 when listening to wfmu, i never have a clue, and prefer it that way!
	5:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...equating makers of a Dylan drama with RightWing propagandists ...maybe both of this Time in conflating History with Myth. But maybe also & more charitably sensing this about the Time & proposing a Counter Myth of a different sort of Hero...
	5:44pm northguineahills: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:43 now i want to listen to the greek band, mythos...
	5:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...what's been sticking to my ribs is watching 'There But For Fortune' about PhilOchs again for his B-Day the other month...
	5:48pm northguineahills: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:45 i was just about to mention that!
	5:50pm Brendan: ↳ Song: "Untitled" by "Marija Kovačević" I think those cables could still use a little more tightening. Go ahead I don't think they'll snap.
	👻 5:50pm Rev. Turnip Druid: good lord this is lovely
	5:51pm fred: Does the Dylan movie reveal who introduced him to hot air ballooning? They might have cut that as irrelevant, but any Ken listener knows it's a fateful moment
	5:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Rev. Turnip Druid @5:50 Where else man. Where else.
	5:52pm Harry Corvair: Here for this! Untitled by Marija Kovačević (Music for Broken Violins vol.2 The Chapel)
	5:52pm northguineahills: ↳ fred @5:51 still waiting for that tape to be released! (fingers crossed when the glass is shattered!)
	5:52pm fred: ↳ Rev. Turnip Druid @5:50 agreed!
	👻 5:52pm newton: ↳ fred @5:51 I sharpened my axe today
	5:53pm northguineahills: ↳ Harry Corvair @5:52 what harry said!
	5:53pm StringOFperils: ↳ northguineahills @5:41 I fully accept a broadly accepted recognition, that 'history' is written by 'the victors', and it is also rife with mythologies of the tribes it is speaking to; it supports ideas that further its continuance and its domination over other ideas that might crowd it. That's a broad picture that, indeed, always needs to be weighed. BUT, if I feed a 'public' a narrative about NGH, and I have made up all the details, and I assure them that it's NGH's life story, and I get them to accept that story, regardless of NGH, so that I can make money, so that I can make up more of whatever I feel like, about you and you and you, and nobody employs objectivity (whatever that is at this point) it seems problematic. Devoid of discernment and critique. Dogs and cats are more savvy than that. They instinctively know they'll get killed if they aren't.
	5:54pm nic: Great!!! Love It!!!
	5:55pm northguineahills: ↳ StringOFperils @5:53 not gonna argue that! salud!

	5:56pm chresti: Untitled by Marija Kovačević (Music for Broken Violins vol.2 The Chapel) This reminded me of the squeaky door I was playing with yesterday
