	3:09pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Sluagh Na Marbh" by "Watkins Group" Hi Scott and All! Very happy to be here for this musical journey led by Scott. I dig this track
	🧩 3:10pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "Sluagh Na Marbh" by "Watkins Group" This song is perfect for my headspace today.

	3:13pm Scott Williams: ↳ Jim the Poet @3:12 can you tell me how to pronounce it?
	3:14pm kuriousornj: ↳ Song: "Sluagh Na Marbh" by "Watkins Group" "i don't get art!"

	3:22pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Song: "Sundowner" by "Blanck Mass" oh shit this is one of the dudes from Fuck Buttons
	3:23pm Acid Cazh: I like this a lot better than Fuck Buttons (though massive cred and bonus points for band name with Fuck Buttons)
	3:23pm Scott Williams: ↳ Acid Cazh @3:22 I know, can ya believe it? Most of his other stuff sounds like them - this is the only record I like, but I really love it
	3:24pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Scott Williams @3:23 Bookmarking the record for later solo exploration when you're off the air. Nothing wrong with Fuck Buttons, just this is ... reallllly great.

	3:32pm dale: this opening set sounds like the state of our world right now.
	🧩 3:33pm ike̶̬̕: ↳ Song: "Havik" by "Komitas Vartapet" I misread this name as Vomitas Karpetpet at first. Too many bad past experiences w/animals excreting bodily wastes onto rugs. (Not w/my current cat, fortunately.)
	3:37pm hectic: ↳ Song: "Wir Beide Sind Verwandt" by "C-Schulz" this is the weirdest thing i've ever heard.

	3:37pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Wir Beide Sind Verwandt" by "C-Schulz" Are these samples from that great German exorcism comp on Trikont from a while back?
	3:38pm steveo: idonotrecallthathowdoIknow
	3:39pm The Oscar: ↳ Marie in Chicago @3:37 Aw, we had a Jennycat too! A lil' puker as well, always preceded by one of the strangest cat noises I've ever heard.
	🧩 3:41pm Handy Haversack: ↳ The Oscar @3:39 Yeah, right before Goblin returns some of our sheets and pillowcases and socks, he makes the Goblin Howl. It's deeply unsettling.
	3:43pm Acid Cazh: I went to one of those ATPs at Kutsher's. Our room was right next to Todd Trainer from Big Black.
	🧩 3:43pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Also with David Cross as Ginsberg. Love those sequences in the Haynes film.

	3:46pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Toccata in Dminor" by "Virgil Fox" File under songs Gilmour’s Albums taught me.
	3:47pm McGroovey: Irish is mostly phonetic, if you know the rules. But there are some words that break the rules, and I can't remember if "marbh" is one of those
	3:48pm The Oscar: I recently saw I'm Not There for the first time, and I was blown away by how much I loved it. I'm currently under the opinion that only Todd Haynes and Alex Ross Perry should be allowed to make music biopics.
	3:48pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Song: "Toccata in Dminor" by "Virgil Fox" This guy sounds like David Lynch
	3:48pm TDK60: Ho, Scott. Virgil plays the Fillmore.
	3:48pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ The Oscar @3:39 oh, really? @))
	🧩 3:48pm Handy Haversack: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @3:48 Was just thinking he sounded like Lynch in TP.
	3:49pm ∫ydniuß: last time my pores were open I needed a lot of benzoyl peroxide no thx
	3:49pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ The Oscar @3:39 I wish I could hear those sounds
	3:50pm Robini: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:48 Uncanny. Not just the sound of his voice, but also his phrasings
	3:51pm Robini: ↳ Song: "Summer Kisses, Winter Tears" by "Julee Cruise" right on cue. good one Scott!
	3:52pm waters7: "heart"
	3:52pm Scott Williams: ↳ The Oscar @3:37 You're thinking Okkulte Stimmen? amazing comp, but I don't think so - the track was recorded in 1987
	3:52pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Summer Kisses, Winter Tears" by "Julee Cruise" Best soundtrack start to finish.
	🧩 3:53pm Handy Haversack: Well, I sure like what this set is doing.
	3:54pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Song: "16 Shells from a Thirty-Ought Six" by "Tom Waits" Saw Waits on Mule Variations tour. Friggin’ mind-blowing, is what it was.

	3:54pm The Oscar: ↳ Scott Williams @3:52 Ah! Taps into the same groove anyway :)
	3:55pm HyperDose: ↳ Song: "16 Shells from a Thirty-Ought Six" by "Tom Waits" is this part of what he's building in there? still no tire on the pepper tree?
	3:56pm common: ↳ Song: "16 Shells from a Thirty-Ought Six" by "Tom Waits" '83. crazy
	3:57pm steveo: one, two, three, clink one, two, three, clang
	3:58pm WoodsOfMaine: I turned down a ticket for the 2nd night in Boston. Then I read the review…Waits came in from the back of the theatre with a bullhorn…”LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!!!” …wanted to bang my head on my office desk.
	🧩 3:59pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "Bedstemar" by "Feo" Wondering if Jim Henson drew on this for Animal's voice.

	4:02pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Marie in Chicago @4:00 🐈‍⬛ mew
	4:02pm Marie in Chicago: (I'm afraid to look at a newspaper, which I do enjoy usually)
	4:03pm The Oscar: It's been too long since I gave Tom a proper listen. My wife can't stand his records, but loves him as an actor!
	4:03pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ ∫ydniuß @4:02 heeheehee
	4:03pm Andres: That poor dog never did nothing to nobody.
	4:03pm Angel DiMaria: Ben I was at both shows .. did you stay at the holiday inn on euchlid ave … and were part of the group from Jersey that got into the car accident??? I know far fetch but ya never know
	🧩 4:04pm Handy Haversack: The reissues of Frank's Wild Years, Swordfish Trombones, and Rain Dogs made me inordinately happy -- I'd had them only on cassette and dubbed cassette. Though I found that Rain Dogs was recorded or mixed way too quietly.
	4:04pm Angel DiMaria: Everyone in the hotel was there for the show … I only remember one other group from Jersey 🤷‍♂️
	4:05pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Tone Poem #9" by "Sun Ra & His Arkestra" for a sec, this kinda made me think about the soundtrack to Taxi Driver, which is mag-fricking-nif-i-cent
	4:05pm Pat Noecker Says: About the sickest cut you could ask for while driving on this Monday afternoon! Thanks Scotty!
	4:06pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Tone Poem #9" by "Sun Ra & His Arkestra" love this

	4:07pm mrdonutsu: ↳ Song: "Tone Poem #9" by "Sun Ra & His Arkestra" Marshall Allen was probably only in his 70s when they did this.

	🧩 4:10pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Tone Poem #9" by "Sun Ra & His Arkestra" This is slick - reminds me of some Count Basie slow bop from around that time. HI Scott and the Ocean (of Scotians)!!
	4:11pm Ben in Newark: ↳ Angel DiMaria @4:03 We actually booked a hotel in West Virginia, which seemed like a good idea at the time (insanely cheap, and we were poor college kids) but not after the show when we had to drive two hours east

	4:26pm carlos danger: ↳ AppleOverEasy @4:20 my favorite is the English subbing of "z" for "r". So Morrissey is Moz or Mozzer, Gary or Gareth are Gaz, Lawrence is Loz, etc.
	4:26pm Triple G: ↳ Song: "People Get Ready" by "The Mel Lyman Family" Matching the sort of gray February afternoon, with a hope/promise of spring around the corner

	🧩 4:32pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ ∫ydniuß @4:30 I too. Time proceeds linearly, but parts of us are accelerating along side it at different rates. There are a bunch of parts of me still stuck at preteen.
	4:33pm Steve Del Sol: Tom is sumptin' ,yup.
	4:34pm carlos danger: re: nilsson-will someone in a position of authority please weigh in? is it pronounced "NEELSON" or "NIHLSON"

	🧩 4:49pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon... Ford" by "B... Interestingly, the letter after 'epsilon' WAS (originally) like a "F" - the digamma or 'wau' (Ϝ). The early Greek 'W' was in the original Semitic/Phoenician place ('waw'), but the Greeks stopped speaking it after a while. BUT the Etruscans had already borrowed their alphabet, and kept it in. Their 'w' soon shifted to 'v' (as in many cultures), and the Romans shifted it slightly to...'F'!!
	4:52pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "L'Enfant La Mouche Et Les Allumettes / L'Enfant A... neat. I just don't want to know if the child is burning flies
	4:52pm AppleOverEasy: Greek History AND poop jokes fmu is.....
	4:54pm WoodsOfMaine: Interesting that folks loved the Astral Weeks book. I thought the use of Morrison’s title was kind of a fraud. The stuff about the early Boston scene was fun but then it sort of devolved into cults and gurus and general assholery. Not sure what I expected of it.
	4:54pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "L'Enfant La Mouche Et Les Allumettes / L'Enfant A... Let's face it, Serge was cool
	🧩 4:54pm pgalub: ↳ Song: "L'Enfant La Mouche Et Les Allumettes / L'Enfant A... Diggin' this!

	🧩 4:56pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @4:54 WFMU's own Gus Bodenheim attempted to start a cult on that Bosstown scene.
	🧩 4:57pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ AppleOverEasy @4:56 NICE! Rough, but 'weathered' hand, survivor of many travels through the galaxies.
	4:58pm AppleOverEasy: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:56 He must have hung one arm out the window of his rocket ship all the way to earth
	🧩 4:58pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Isn't It Strange In The Cage" by "Klaus Fessman" "Isn't It Strange In The Cage" - #warning possible allusion alert
	4:59pm Mabusa: Terrific show today Scott! Thank you!
	4:59pm AppleOverEasy: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:58 Didnt Sun Ra and John Cage make an album together?

	5:03pm AppleOverEasy: ↳ Mabusa @5:02 Ra was a maximalist ... Cage a minimalist

	5:06pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ AppleOverEasy @5:05 we should be in less danger of erratic badness in 2 years, hopefully, when the house will prolly shift back to the Dems

	🧩 3:06pm Ike: I think I get it! I think I get it! That is, if the David Bowie pies are delicious. If they are not delicious, then I still don't get it.
	3:06pm Mark T: Good afternoon Scott, fellow WFMU listeners.
	3:09pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Sluagh Na Marbh" by "Watkins Group" Hi Scott and All! Very happy to be here for this musical journey led by Scott. I dig this track
	🧩 3:10pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "Sluagh Na Marbh" by "Watkins Group" This song is perfect for my headspace today.
	3:12pm Jim the Poet: ↳ Song: "Sluagh Na Marbh" by "Watkins Group" love it
	3:13pm Scott Williams: ↳ Jim the Poet @3:12 can you tell me how to pronounce it?
	3:14pm kuriousornj: ↳ Song: "Sluagh Na Marbh" by "Watkins Group" "i don't get art!"
	🧩 3:17pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "Sluagh Na Marbh" by "Watkins Group" Feeling sluaghish.

	🧩 3:19pm Ike: ↳ Song: "Sundowner" by "Blanck Mass" Dig it.
	3:19pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Song: "Sundowner" by "Blanck Mass" damn this is nice
	3:22pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Song: "Sundowner" by "Blanck Mass" oh shit this is one of the dudes from Fuck Buttons
	3:23pm Acid Cazh: I like this a lot better than Fuck Buttons (though massive cred and bonus points for band name with Fuck Buttons)
	3:23pm Scott Williams: ↳ Acid Cazh @3:22 I know, can ya believe it? Most of his other stuff sounds like them - this is the only record I like, but I really love it
	3:24pm Acid Cazh: ↳ Scott Williams @3:23 Bookmarking the record for later solo exploration when you're off the air. Nothing wrong with Fuck Buttons, just this is ... reallllly great.

	🧩 3:29pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "Boots (Rudyard Kipling)" by "Taylor Holmes" All my Grammys go to this

	3:31pm mrdonutsu: ↳ Song: "Boots (Rudyard Kipling)" by "Taylor Holmes" The OG 4-on-Floor beat! boots boots boots boots
	3:32pm dale: this opening set sounds like the state of our world right now.
	🧩 3:33pm ike̶̬̕: ↳ Song: "Havik" by "Komitas Vartapet" I misread this name as Vomitas Karpetpet at first. Too many bad past experiences w/animals excreting bodily wastes onto rugs. (Not w/my current cat, fortunately.)
	3:37pm hectic: ↳ Song: "Wir Beide Sind Verwandt" by "C-Schulz" this is the weirdest thing i've ever heard.
	3:37pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ ike̶̬̕ @3:33 hee hee hee (I had a cat who was a puker, Jenny--RIP)
	3:37pm The Oscar: ↳ Song: "Wir Beide Sind Verwandt" by "C-Schulz" Are these samples from that great German exorcism comp on Trikont from a while back?
	3:38pm steveo: idonotrecallthathowdoIknow
	3:39pm The Oscar: ↳ Marie in Chicago @3:37 Aw, we had a Jennycat too! A lil' puker as well, always preceded by one of the strangest cat noises I've ever heard.
	🧩 3:41pm Handy Haversack: ↳ The Oscar @3:39 Yeah, right before Goblin returns some of our sheets and pillowcases and socks, he makes the Goblin Howl. It's deeply unsettling.
	3:43pm Acid Cazh: I went to one of those ATPs at Kutsher's. Our room was right next to Todd Trainer from Big Black.
	🧩 3:43pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): Also with David Cross as Ginsberg. Love those sequences in the Haynes film.
	3:45pm McGroovey: ↳ Song: "Sluagh Na Marbh" by "Watkins Group" Sluagh Na Marbh Kinda, Slua na marv Basically
	3:45pm Jeff Moore: Ha! Is anyone keeping a count of Scott's distinct Fuck Buttons circumlocutions in this mic break? I am amused.

	3:45pm McGroovey: Or Slua na Maru OK, my Irish is rusty m
	3:45pm carlos danger: guys what happened to DJ Bergey? he was great

	3:46pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Toccata in Dminor" by "Virgil Fox" File under songs Gilmour’s Albums taught me.
	3:47pm McGroovey: Irish is mostly phonetic, if you know the rules. But there are some words that break the rules, and I can't remember if "marbh" is one of those
	3:48pm The Oscar: I recently saw I'm Not There for the first time, and I was blown away by how much I loved it. I'm currently under the opinion that only Todd Haynes and Alex Ross Perry should be allowed to make music biopics.
	3:48pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Song: "Toccata in Dminor" by "Virgil Fox" This guy sounds like David Lynch
	3:48pm TDK60: Ho, Scott. Virgil plays the Fillmore.
	3:48pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ The Oscar @3:39 oh, really? @))
	🧩 3:48pm Handy Haversack: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @3:48 Was just thinking he sounded like Lynch in TP.
	3:49pm ∫ydniuß: last time my pores were open I needed a lot of benzoyl peroxide no thx
	3:49pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ The Oscar @3:39 I wish I could hear those sounds
	3:50pm Robini: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:48 Uncanny. Not just the sound of his voice, but also his phrasings
	3:51pm Robini: ↳ Song: "Summer Kisses, Winter Tears" by "Julee Cruise" right on cue. good one Scott!
	3:52pm waters7: "heart"
	3:52pm Scott Williams: ↳ The Oscar @3:37 You're thinking Okkulte Stimmen? amazing comp, but I don't think so - the track was recorded in 1987
	3:52pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Summer Kisses, Winter Tears" by "Julee Cruise" Best soundtrack start to finish.
	🧩 3:53pm Handy Haversack: Well, I sure like what this set is doing.
	3:54pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Song: "16 Shells from a Thirty-Ought Six" by "Tom Waits" Saw Waits on Mule Variations tour. Friggin’ mind-blowing, is what it was.
	3:54pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Handy Haversack @3:53 i got back from class just in time for tom waits!
	3:54pm The Oscar: ↳ Scott Williams @3:52 Ah! Taps into the same groove anyway :)
	3:55pm HyperDose: ↳ Song: "16 Shells from a Thirty-Ought Six" by "Tom Waits" is this part of what he's building in there? still no tire on the pepper tree?
	3:56pm common: ↳ Song: "16 Shells from a Thirty-Ought Six" by "Tom Waits" '83. crazy
	3:57pm steveo: one, two, three, clink one, two, three, clang
	3:58pm WoodsOfMaine: I turned down a ticket for the 2nd night in Boston. Then I read the review…Waits came in from the back of the theatre with a bullhorn…”LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!!!” …wanted to bang my head on my office desk.
	🧩 3:59pm Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "Bedstemar" by "Feo" Wondering if Jim Henson drew on this for Animal's voice.
	4:00pm Marie in Chicago: I thought I heard a cat
	4:01pm Ben in Newark: ↳ Song: "16 Shells from a Thirty-Ought Six" by "Tom Waits" Saw him perform this live in Ohio in 2008, incredible show
	4:02pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Marie in Chicago @4:00 🐈‍⬛ mew
	4:02pm Marie in Chicago: (I'm afraid to look at a newspaper, which I do enjoy usually)
	4:03pm The Oscar: It's been too long since I gave Tom a proper listen. My wife can't stand his records, but loves him as an actor!
	4:03pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ ∫ydniuß @4:02 heeheehee
	4:03pm Andres: That poor dog never did nothing to nobody.
	4:03pm Angel DiMaria: Ben I was at both shows .. did you stay at the holiday inn on euchlid ave … and were part of the group from Jersey that got into the car accident??? I know far fetch but ya never know
	🧩 4:04pm Handy Haversack: The reissues of Frank's Wild Years, Swordfish Trombones, and Rain Dogs made me inordinately happy -- I'd had them only on cassette and dubbed cassette. Though I found that Rain Dogs was recorded or mixed way too quietly.
	4:04pm Angel DiMaria: Everyone in the hotel was there for the show … I only remember one other group from Jersey 🤷‍♂️
	4:05pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Tone Poem #9" by "Sun Ra & His Arkestra" for a sec, this kinda made me think about the soundtrack to Taxi Driver, which is mag-fricking-nif-i-cent
	4:05pm Pat Noecker Says: About the sickest cut you could ask for while driving on this Monday afternoon! Thanks Scotty!
	4:06pm Marie in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Tone Poem #9" by "Sun Ra & His Arkestra" love this
	4:06pm WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:04 Those are the kinds of records where you can have ‘em for decades and hear something new every time. At least I do.
	4:07pm estebangrande: Freakin love this
	🧩 4:07pm Handy Haversack: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @4:06 Small Change, too, as different as it is from those three marvels. I never stop coming back to Small Change.
	4:07pm mrdonutsu: ↳ Song: "Tone Poem #9" by "Sun Ra & His Arkestra" Marshall Allen was probably only in his 70s when they did this.
	4:08pm Mabusa: Love these tax where Ra is instructing the band.
	4:08pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:07 give me bone machine or give me death!
	4:08pm Alanthepainter: This is fine, broadcasting to sidewalk S Philly. Who’s on trumpet, superfine
	🧩 4:09pm Handy Haversack: ↳ prof.fuzz @4:08 I gotta get that reissue. Stop tempting me!
	4:09pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:09 do it!

	🧩 4:10pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Tone Poem #9" by "Sun Ra & His Arkestra" This is slick - reminds me of some Count Basie slow bop from around that time. HI Scott and the Ocean (of Scotians)!!
	4:11pm Ben in Newark: ↳ Angel DiMaria @4:03 We actually booked a hotel in West Virginia, which seemed like a good idea at the time (insanely cheap, and we were poor college kids) but not after the show when we had to drive two hours east
	🧩 4:12pm Handy Haversack: ↳ WoodsOfMaine @4:09 A teacher in high school lent me that and Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash, and the back of my brain exploded.

	🧩 4:14pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @4:13 How do we do it? Volume! Volume! --I sing this to the dog whenever he seems confused. Well, "sing."

	4:26pm carlos danger: ↳ AppleOverEasy @4:20 my favorite is the English subbing of "z" for "r". So Morrissey is Moz or Mozzer, Gary or Gareth are Gaz, Lawrence is Loz, etc.

	4:28pm Barbie: Please stop
	4:29pm Scott Williams: ↳ pgalub @4:28 RIP... hiya Pete!
	🧩 4:29pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Solo 1" by "Brian Joseph Davis" Memories of teen-aged tomfoolery, late nights with friends tended to (d)evolve into stuff like this...

	🧩 4:32pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ ∫ydniuß @4:30 I too. Time proceeds linearly, but parts of us are accelerating along side it at different rates. There are a bunch of parts of me still stuck at preteen.
	4:33pm Steve Del Sol: Tom is sumptin' ,yup.
	4:34pm carlos danger: re: nilsson-will someone in a position of authority please weigh in? is it pronounced "NEELSON" or "NIHLSON"
