	9:25am Ken From Hyde Park: Zats....I'm stuck on a crossword puzzle. (Blank)-ewit = Plover named for its call. Can anyone help?

	9:29am glenn: ooops. i wrong. hamburger right.
	9:30am dale: i don't remember the stories we read about pippi. any one remember the take a giant step reading series?
	9:31am Ken From Hyde Park: @Caryn - Pewit it is. It matches the down clue, poseur = one who reflects a false attitude. Thanks.
	9:32am Caryn: @ken: well, hamburger also had it. So, yay, comments board!
	9:34am Brian en Angleterre: Just got the guff listing all the Premiums in the post. Oh dear. Decisions. Decisions.
	9:36am Adrian in London: Hello Trouble and listeners. Your London correspondent spent lat evening in a freezing darkened church listening to Tim Hecker play the organ for a Ravedeath album show. Strange/boring/exhilarating/painful/soothing in equal measures.
	9:38am Ken From Hyde Park: @hamburger - Sorry, didn't notice your comment. Thanks to one and all. Check it out...the song sounds just like its name. http://www.gstatic.com/dictionary/static/sounds/de/0/pewit.mp3
	9:39am βrian en haute provence: Ach, I wish. I've been missing those birds.
	9:46am DaveInSoDak: Observing the observed observing, whilst listening to the soundtrack of my life. Whilst observing. Cheers, Trubbs.
	9:47am hamburger: @Ken - no thank you - had it not been for your crossword problem, I would never have discovered this bird - the joys of wikipedia
	9:52am trouble: hey dave! hey adrian
	9:55am jamesie: ...adding 12 Kg sugar into my new 26litre pan bought from market just now. Marmalade a makin while listenin...
	9:59am Caryn: @jamesie: which kind of marmalade?
	10:01am jamesie: Seville Oranges and some lemons
	10:01am SW: Not coming in on the radio.
	10:06am Jennique: Wow, prosthetic nostalgia for the '70s in Europe? Glad someone else put that into words for me. Love it.
	10:18am Cecile: I still haven't tucked into my Rose's Lime juice marmalade I bought myself as a Christmas treat.
	10:19am Brian en Angleterre: jamsie Just the time of year for Seville oranges. Thick peel I trust. Have you considered grapefruit marmalade? Works well.
	10:21am Cecile: mmmm, Brian sounds lovely. I saw Howl's Moving Castle this weekend. Beautiful, funny and kind of deranged. The plot seemed preposterous until I looked up the plot of the original book on the 'net. I am unreasonably excited about the Borrowers movie Miyazaki is directing...
	10:25am Caryn: @Cecile: the Borrowers movie was really good, if not completely faithful to the books. But I don't require movie adaptations to be totally faithful, as long as they are good. And it was, so go forth and watch!
	10:25am erella!: Thank you trouble. Love the show today.
	10:27am Mike East: I got really into Miyazaki a few years ago. My daughter loves Howl's Moving Castle - and Ponyo. Princess Mononoke was a little scary for her at this point - but that's my favorite.
	10:29am Cecile: I like that one a lot, Mike East, and have a soft spot for Kiki's Delivery Service. Haven't seen Ponyo yet.
	10:31am ken: great guest. great discussion. too too much stuff...screening room...have to check that out. i assume it's youtubeable...
	10:32am ken: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8A42DE89612D1EF4
	10:33am Caryn: Jan Svankmajer discussed on WFMU! I may die happy now.
	10:38am Cecile: I borrowed a copy of a DVD of Svankmajer films from a friend. It got stolen when my house got broken into. I found him another copy, but now I'm afraid to borrow it from him again....!
	10:38am Parq: Jan Hammer's doing movie music now? Cool. He was such an essential part of the Mahavishnu Orchestra -- Clay Pigeon will back me up on that one.
	10:39am BSI: the Svankmajer short film PUNCH & JUDY made me what I am today. Perhaps that's not such a good thing?
	10:40am zoran: Susan Pitt's "Asparagus" is seriously one of the strangest things I've ever seen... sort of like an opiated Bruce Bickford...
	10:40am erella!: Trouble and Guest Ben, I know it is a totally different thing, but maybe not. The new OKGO video is incredible. http://youtu.be/MejbOFk7H6c
	10:41am Cecile: I loved that Svanmayer one with the rocks. THat's why I borrowed it. But now I think I will have to watch it online or something.
	10:42am BSI: For me it was definitely the audio as well as the visuals. With Svankmajer. Punch & Judy had a perfect mix of music & sound design.
	10:44am glenn: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QgJDj8af6M
	10:45am Adrian in London: Loving these sets Ben and Trouble. That Nico track was great. @Cecile and Mike: Ponyo is great. I watched the latest one, Arrietty, he other day. Enjoyable but not as good as Ponyo.
	10:46am erella!: Svanmayer's Alice is brilliant. I love Punch and Judy too. 1966!
	10:48am Cecile: that OKGO vid was great. And the song was actually quite strong, with an interesting arrangement w/o the vids.
	10:48am Cecile: aw, ivan kral. Miss that guy. He should be alive and playing with Patti.
	10:49am Jeremy: Fantastic stuff, all of this!
	10:49am madhatter: Svankmajer films are avail for streaming on Netflix, along with Quay Brothers.
	10:50am Mike East: @Adrian - I'll have to check that one out. Have you seen Castle of Cagliostro? Its not really for kids, per se, but my daughter loves that one too.
	10:52am Jeremy: I first discovered Svankmajer through the Quay Bros., who were his pupils. He's still making films, btw, the most recent one was playing when I was in Prague last year, but I couldn't go! Ah well, it wasn't subtitled anyway...
	10:53am highpresssure: wait wait wait what was that last song! wow
	10:56am ken: there should be a blog of a blog of a blog of a blog of a blog... cleary..
	10:57am Caryn: Since no-one has mentioned them yet, gotta put my votes behind "Nausicaä and the Valley of the Wind", "Spirited Away" and "Totoro". Oh, and "Porco Rosso". Man, Miyazaki doesn't make bad films. Neither does Svankmajer. Though seeing his Alice when I was 12 was a bit disturbing... Anyone else seen Svankmajer's version of "The Fall of the House of Usher"?
	10:59am indonesian: Um, "in our culture" we do use CDs and MP3s. Cassettes haven't been seen in Indonesia since the 80s. Actually, you'll find that Indonesians are faster adaptors of new technology than Westeners. Every second person there practically upgrades their cellphone on a monthly basis. So there. We do know how to use computers. Thanks.
	11:00am Mike East: @Caryn - I agree those are all great. There was a Totoro doll in the last Toy Story movie. I thought that was a pretty cool shout out.
	11:00am northguineahills: I'm reading Electric Eden right now.
	11:01am Cecile: Even in Pre-Revolution France, the royalty would play at a rural lifestyle.
	11:02am Cecile: thanks for the reality check, indonesian.
	11:03am Mike East: I love the foley effects in all the Svankmajer films I've seen. The sound of the devil's mouth clacking in Faust still gives me the creeps.
	11:03am Caryn: The 2011 release of "Requiem for a Village" is awesome. It comes with 4 short films by the same director and the essays are fascinating. Paintings are quite lovely too.
	11:04am Adrian in London: @Mike: No, I haven't seen that one. They're always on Film Four, a digital channel over here, but with the English dubbing. I prefer the Japanese soundtrack so tend to get them on DVD. Too many things to watch/see/read etc!
	11:08am Mike East: @Adrian - so true. The Castle of Cagliostro music soundtrack is pretty great. It has a kind of 70's funk/caper movie feel to it.
	11:09am Caryn: @Mike: oh man, "Faust". You're right about the devil. When I was younger, Svankmajer's "Jabberwocky" freaked me out. I think it was the maggots that did it.
	11:10am zoran: Great show Trouble & Ben!! ---Ben, any info on where to find screening room dvd/streams? I was lucky enough to see the one w/ Standish Lawder on amazon before the license was pulled... Only thing I can find has them for $175 per episode on dvd.
	11:13am Mike East: @Caryn - I forgot about Jabberwocky! - I saw that when I was REAL young (my older sister's were watching it) and I remember being terrified - but at the same time, compelled to watch it.
	11:16am zoran: Also Svankmajer fans in NY area: (sorry if already mentioned I'm listening while working... hard to hear over chop saw) http://www.movingimage.us/films/2012/02/17/detail/the-films-of-jan-svankmajer/
	11:19am Ike: Oh yeah @Caryn, "Nausicaä and the Valley of the Wind" and "Spirited Away" are amazing films. But "Howl's Moving Castle" is not as good as the book.
	11:21am stu: Hei Trouble Sending cool vibes from Turku( nice and cool here !) . Gonna have to listen to the Archive tomarra to catch all this music... Cheers
	11:23am Jennique: Thanks for that link Zoran. I will try and make it out to the Museum of Moving Image next week to see Svankmajer on the big screen.
	11:24am Brian en Angleterre: Been out and just got in. Was Requiem for a Village about somewhere in Suffolk, came out in 70s. Think I used to work with the cinematographers wife. I remember her talking about it at the time.
	11:24am Caryn: @Ike: yep, not as good as the book (but then again, I LOVE the book), but still a very enjoyable film. @zoran: I find it rather appropriate that "Asparagus" used to be shown as a double bill with Lynch's "Eraserhead". That would be a movie-going experience that would make you go hmm...
	11:26am Caryn: @Brian: yep, a village in Suffolk. Came out in 1975.
	11:27am fishmonkeystew: I am incredibly pleased to visit my favorite radio stations website and find a conversation about one of my favorite artists. Jan Svankmajer and WFMU - together at last!
	11:28am Brian en Angleterre: Thanks Caryn, it comes back to me now. I was working in a childrens bookshop at the time. Think her name was Seema?
	11:29am glenn: morphing salamanders. sounds like ken's show.
	11:30am Caryn: @Brian: well, the cinematographer was Bruce Parsons, who did a few documentaries and short films in the 60s and 70s.
	11:32am still b/p: If I was in NY area, I'd recommend a listener meet-up for short film viewing. And marmalade tasting. And microbrew tasting.
	11:33am trouble: hey fab peeps, ben's website address is: toysandtechniques.blogspot.com check it out!
	11:35am Brian en Angleterre: still b/p sleepover and passout. Passover and sleepout.
	11:37am Lonious Monk: Very very nice ! thanks and hello Trouble - from Paris
	11:37am still b/p: Are there FMU pajamas in the swag closet?
	11:38am Brian en Angleterre: Thinking of East Anglia. Allan Smethurst. The Singing Postman was a wonderment. 'Have You Got A Light, Boy' was his biggest hit.
	11:40am Brian en Angleterre: Here he is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TIFiaHyC9E
	11:43am Jeremy: Ben, where do you find this stuff?? Fantastic!
	11:47am Adrian in London: Oh thanks. Now my wife is zombieing around the flat going: "My naaame is Oona! my naaame is Oona!"
	11:53am Caryn: @Adrian: thems the breaks when you listen to WFMU. You just have to be grateful there is no Amanda version of that track.
	11:56am glenn: zombie's a verb?
	11:57am pierre: Bonjour Trouble ! Bonjour listeners ! un special bonjour to Lonious, how's things going @l'étang, pal ?
	11:58am zoran: @Jennique: Me too! @Caryn: Double bill triple take! ...I hope they strapped their heads to their shoulders before that screening.
	11:58am pierre: OOOH how i love Toys & Techniques ! so much stuff that i discovered recently come from here.
	11:59am Caryn: Lessons learned from "A Cold Night's Death": never go to an isolated research station with Eli Wallach.
	11:59am Adrian in London: @glenn On FMU zombie is a verb
	11:59am Andrew: ...or Kurt Russell
	11:59am trouble: bonjour pierre! ciao to all, thanks for listening!
	12:00pm bard of the dead: To zombie or not to zombie...
	12:03pm Caryn: I think the main lesson is: never go to an isolated research station, period. In the history of films and tv, it has never worked out well. From "McGuyver" to "The X Files" to "Lost", isolated research station spells doom.
	8:06pm Jeffrey: What are the names of those two tracks from Ultra Sonic Perceptions?

A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

	10:19am Brian en Angleterre: jamsie Just the time of year for Seville oranges. Thick peel I trust. Have you considered grapefruit marmalade? Works well.
	10:21am Cecile: mmmm, Brian sounds lovely. I saw Howl's Moving Castle this weekend. Beautiful, funny and kind of deranged. The plot seemed preposterous until I looked up the plot of the original book on the 'net. I am unreasonably excited about the Borrowers movie Miyazaki is directing...
	10:25am Caryn: @Cecile: the Borrowers movie was really good, if not completely faithful to the books. But I don't require movie adaptations to be totally faithful, as long as they are good. And it was, so go forth and watch!
	10:25am erella!: Thank you trouble. Love the show today.
	10:27am Mike East: I got really into Miyazaki a few years ago. My daughter loves Howl's Moving Castle - and Ponyo. Princess Mononoke was a little scary for her at this point - but that's my favorite.
	10:29am Cecile: I like that one a lot, Mike East, and have a soft spot for Kiki's Delivery Service. Haven't seen Ponyo yet.
	10:31am ken: great guest. great discussion. too too much stuff...screening room...have to check that out. i assume it's youtubeable...
	10:32am ken: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8A42DE89612D1EF4
	10:33am Caryn: Jan Svankmajer discussed on WFMU! I may die happy now.
	10:38am Cecile: I borrowed a copy of a DVD of Svankmajer films from a friend. It got stolen when my house got broken into. I found him another copy, but now I'm afraid to borrow it from him again....!
	10:38am Parq: Jan Hammer's doing movie music now? Cool. He was such an essential part of the Mahavishnu Orchestra -- Clay Pigeon will back me up on that one.
	10:39am BSI: the Svankmajer short film PUNCH & JUDY made me what I am today. Perhaps that's not such a good thing?
	10:40am zoran: Susan Pitt's "Asparagus" is seriously one of the strangest things I've ever seen... sort of like an opiated Bruce Bickford...
	10:40am erella!: Trouble and Guest Ben, I know it is a totally different thing, but maybe not. The new OKGO video is incredible. http://youtu.be/MejbOFk7H6c
	10:41am Cecile: I loved that Svanmayer one with the rocks. THat's why I borrowed it. But now I think I will have to watch it online or something.
	10:42am BSI: For me it was definitely the audio as well as the visuals. With Svankmajer. Punch & Judy had a perfect mix of music & sound design.
	10:44am glenn: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QgJDj8af6M
	10:45am Adrian in London: Loving these sets Ben and Trouble. That Nico track was great. @Cecile and Mike: Ponyo is great. I watched the latest one, Arrietty, he other day. Enjoyable but not as good as Ponyo.
	10:46am erella!: Svanmayer's Alice is brilliant. I love Punch and Judy too. 1966!
	10:48am Cecile: that OKGO vid was great. And the song was actually quite strong, with an interesting arrangement w/o the vids.
	10:48am Cecile: aw, ivan kral. Miss that guy. He should be alive and playing with Patti.
	10:49am Jeremy: Fantastic stuff, all of this!
	10:49am madhatter: Svankmajer films are avail for streaming on Netflix, along with Quay Brothers.
	10:50am Mike East: @Adrian - I'll have to check that one out. Have you seen Castle of Cagliostro? Its not really for kids, per se, but my daughter loves that one too.
	10:52am Jeremy: I first discovered Svankmajer through the Quay Bros., who were his pupils. He's still making films, btw, the most recent one was playing when I was in Prague last year, but I couldn't go! Ah well, it wasn't subtitled anyway...
	10:53am highpresssure: wait wait wait what was that last song! wow
	10:56am ken: there should be a blog of a blog of a blog of a blog of a blog... cleary..
	10:57am Caryn: Since no-one has mentioned them yet, gotta put my votes behind "Nausicaä and the Valley of the Wind", "Spirited Away" and "Totoro". Oh, and "Porco Rosso". Man, Miyazaki doesn't make bad films. Neither does Svankmajer. Though seeing his Alice when I was 12 was a bit disturbing... Anyone else seen Svankmajer's version of "The Fall of the House of Usher"?
	10:59am indonesian: Um, "in our culture" we do use CDs and MP3s. Cassettes haven't been seen in Indonesia since the 80s. Actually, you'll find that Indonesians are faster adaptors of new technology than Westeners. Every second person there practically upgrades their cellphone on a monthly basis. So there. We do know how to use computers. Thanks.
	11:00am Mike East: @Caryn - I agree those are all great. There was a Totoro doll in the last Toy Story movie. I thought that was a pretty cool shout out.
	11:00am northguineahills: I'm reading Electric Eden right now.
	11:01am Cecile: Even in Pre-Revolution France, the royalty would play at a rural lifestyle.
	11:02am Cecile: thanks for the reality check, indonesian.
	11:03am Mike East: I love the foley effects in all the Svankmajer films I've seen. The sound of the devil's mouth clacking in Faust still gives me the creeps.
	11:03am Caryn: The 2011 release of "Requiem for a Village" is awesome. It comes with 4 short films by the same director and the essays are fascinating. Paintings are quite lovely too.
	11:04am Adrian in London: @Mike: No, I haven't seen that one. They're always on Film Four, a digital channel over here, but with the English dubbing. I prefer the Japanese soundtrack so tend to get them on DVD. Too many things to watch/see/read etc!
	11:08am Mike East: @Adrian - so true. The Castle of Cagliostro music soundtrack is pretty great. It has a kind of 70's funk/caper movie feel to it.
	11:09am Caryn: @Mike: oh man, "Faust". You're right about the devil. When I was younger, Svankmajer's "Jabberwocky" freaked me out. I think it was the maggots that did it.
	11:10am zoran: Great show Trouble & Ben!! ---Ben, any info on where to find screening room dvd/streams? I was lucky enough to see the one w/ Standish Lawder on amazon before the license was pulled... Only thing I can find has them for $175 per episode on dvd.
	11:13am Mike East: @Caryn - I forgot about Jabberwocky! - I saw that when I was REAL young (my older sister's were watching it) and I remember being terrified - but at the same time, compelled to watch it.
	11:16am zoran: Also Svankmajer fans in NY area: (sorry if already mentioned I'm listening while working... hard to hear over chop saw) http://www.movingimage.us/films/2012/02/17/detail/the-films-of-jan-svankmajer/
	11:19am Ike: Oh yeah @Caryn, "Nausicaä and the Valley of the Wind" and "Spirited Away" are amazing films. But "Howl's Moving Castle" is not as good as the book.
	11:21am stu: Hei Trouble Sending cool vibes from Turku( nice and cool here !) . Gonna have to listen to the Archive tomarra to catch all this music... Cheers
	11:23am Jennique: Thanks for that link Zoran. I will try and make it out to the Museum of Moving Image next week to see Svankmajer on the big screen.
	11:24am Brian en Angleterre: Been out and just got in. Was Requiem for a Village about somewhere in Suffolk, came out in 70s. Think I used to work with the cinematographers wife. I remember her talking about it at the time.
	11:24am Caryn: @Ike: yep, not as good as the book (but then again, I LOVE the book), but still a very enjoyable film. @zoran: I find it rather appropriate that "Asparagus" used to be shown as a double bill with Lynch's "Eraserhead". That would be a movie-going experience that would make you go hmm...
	11:26am Caryn: @Brian: yep, a village in Suffolk. Came out in 1975.
	11:27am fishmonkeystew: I am incredibly pleased to visit my favorite radio stations website and find a conversation about one of my favorite artists. Jan Svankmajer and WFMU - together at last!
	11:28am Brian en Angleterre: Thanks Caryn, it comes back to me now. I was working in a childrens bookshop at the time. Think her name was Seema?
	11:29am glenn: morphing salamanders. sounds like ken's show.
	11:30am Caryn: @Brian: well, the cinematographer was Bruce Parsons, who did a few documentaries and short films in the 60s and 70s.
	11:32am still b/p: If I was in NY area, I'd recommend a listener meet-up for short film viewing. And marmalade tasting. And microbrew tasting.
	11:33am trouble: hey fab peeps, ben's website address is: toysandtechniques.blogspot.com check it out!
	11:35am Brian en Angleterre: still b/p sleepover and passout. Passover and sleepout.
	11:37am Lonious Monk: Very very nice ! thanks and hello Trouble - from Paris
	11:37am still b/p: Are there FMU pajamas in the swag closet?
	11:38am Brian en Angleterre: Thinking of East Anglia. Allan Smethurst. The Singing Postman was a wonderment. 'Have You Got A Light, Boy' was his biggest hit.
	11:40am Brian en Angleterre: Here he is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TIFiaHyC9E
	11:43am Jeremy: Ben, where do you find this stuff?? Fantastic!
	11:47am Adrian in London: Oh thanks. Now my wife is zombieing around the flat going: "My naaame is Oona! my naaame is Oona!"
	11:53am Caryn: @Adrian: thems the breaks when you listen to WFMU. You just have to be grateful there is no Amanda version of that track.
	11:56am glenn: zombie's a verb?
	11:57am pierre: Bonjour Trouble ! Bonjour listeners ! un special bonjour to Lonious, how's things going @l'étang, pal ?
	11:58am zoran: @Jennique: Me too! @Caryn: Double bill triple take! ...I hope they strapped their heads to their shoulders before that screening.
	11:58am pierre: OOOH how i love Toys & Techniques ! so much stuff that i discovered recently come from here.
	11:59am Caryn: Lessons learned from "A Cold Night's Death": never go to an isolated research station with Eli Wallach.
	11:59am Adrian in London: @glenn On FMU zombie is a verb
	11:59am Andrew: ...or Kurt Russell
	11:59am trouble: bonjour pierre! ciao to all, thanks for listening!
	12:00pm bard of the dead: To zombie or not to zombie...
	12:03pm Caryn: I think the main lesson is: never go to an isolated research station, period. In the history of films and tv, it has never worked out well. From "McGuyver" to "The X Files" to "Lost", isolated research station spells doom.
	8:06pm Jeffrey: What are the names of those two tracks from Ultra Sonic Perceptions?
