	3:08pm neil who is WILD, man: This sounds so 1987. Syth stuff that is...
	🧩 3:09pm Ken From Hyde Park: What advantages does this program have over, say, a taco cleanse? Which I could also afford.
	3:11pm Jeezy: Crap! What was that Dream Syndicate song called again!?
	3:11pm Jeezy: Oh, there it is
	3:12pm steve: hey everybody

	3:22pm steve: just boxed another cd/cassette pile for the station, including a questionable double cassette from Pulse Emitter side project "Shitty Vibe Smasher"
	3:25pm Roy: Whoa weird ! Happy New Year Scott!
	3:26pm Scott Williams: Roy! Haha. Hey everybody, Frequent Animation is ROY, who is GREAT
	3:26pm Scott Williams: @steve, that sounds real good
	3:35pm Cheri Pi: Dahhhh!
	3:36pm Carmichael: HAWKWIND!
	3:36pm Chris from DC: One of their finest.
	3:36pm Greg from ZONE 5: Hey Roy! Happy 2016, Brijet!
	3:37pm Cecile: YAAAAAH RIP Lemmy.
	3:38pm Carmichael: There's an empty stool over at the Rainbow Room ...
	3:40pm Polyus: Nik Turner still opens with this jam. One of the best indeed.
	3:43pm Chris from DC: So bummed I couldn't make that last tour.
	3:45pm Polyus: 73 yrs old and he still travels in a van and sleeps on peoples' floors. Now that is a road warrior.
	3:48pm Greg from ZONE 5: Woke up and put Diane's show on for the last leg of my trip. PERFECT timing.
	3:53pm V Priceless: yeah! TP! Bring it on!
	3:54pm steve: David Lynch will save us
	4:07pm paula pc: classy gorgeous show today
	4:11pm Scott Williams: awwww, tanx Paula!
	4:13pm Cecile: I have one of Lew/Brown's records. It was a staple of my freeform in the 80s
	🧩 4:15pm Ike: Hey, that was 11.5 seconds of silence, not 10. What a gyp.
	4:21pm Cecile: Wendigo is the mythical shapeshifter of the Upper Great Lakes.
	4:22pm Cecile: excuse me, cannibal shapeshifter.
	4:23pm Scott Williams: So glad you had your stopwatch at the ready, Ike! Thanks for the important distinction, Cecile!
	4:24pm Cecile: my pleasure. I did not know this, but "Wendigo Syndrome" is when you still crave human flesh after a famine, even though there is other food available. Yow.
	4:25pm Cecile: The tribes of the Great Lakes were convinced that once you partook in long pork, you would end up a Wendigo. They were very assiduous in discouraging this practice
	4:25pm Scott Williams: whoah...
	4:27pm Cecile: you learn something macabre every day.
	4:29pm dale: was that jacqui backing up bert?
	4:29pm Chris from DC: Sure sounded like it.
	4:32pm JakeGould: Happy Monday folks! So new year and 2 weeks later, we can safely spoil “Star Wars∏ right?
	4:34pm Brainiac: JJ Abrams already spoiled it for everyone.
	4:36pm JakeGould: Brainiac: Some 20th Century Fox exec spoiled it in 1978 when he said, “George, the first movie is a complete storyline but one word for you… Sequel!” That first sequel (“Empire Strikes Back”) is great, but the desire for a cash grab spelled the beginning of the end.
	4:37pm Scott Williams: go nuts, pals! spoil away...
	4:37pm Cecile: Actually, George said in the 70s he was going to lay out his entire Star Wars world in 9 movies. He said later he regretted saying this very much.
	4:37pm Brainiac: Hey Jake, good point. I remember smirking when I heard he "always conceived it as a trilogy."
	4:38pm Cecile: He actually conceived it as nine films, before he learned the phrase "underpromise and overdeliver".
	4:40pm B Z: Man, this is just great. Cavern of Anti-Matter. Daniel Blumin strikes again!
	4:41pm Brainiac: The Tardis strikes back...
	4:41pm Cecile: That's where "Episode IV" comes from.
	4:43pm Scott Williams: Blumey is a total mensch, and what a set of ears on him!
	4:44pm JakeGould: @Cecile: The 9 films, 12 films and all that nonsense changes over the years. The general way I look at that 1977 film is he had a hit with “American Graffiti” and had these notes on “Star Wars.” They looked at it, humored him and basically said, “Just make one film.” And the rest is backstory. Also, I have a great quote from Gary Kurtz—the new interest sparked my research into 1977 to 1980 Star Wars lore—that really is eye opening of you think “Episode V’ has weight.
	4:45pm Cecile: Of course it does. But don't think that Lucas wasn't just as happy to grub for the money once SW became a hit.
	🧩 4:45pm Ken From Hyde Park: Who wants some leftover eggnog? This stuff is going to go bad soon.
	4:46pm JakeGould: @Cecile: From issue 18 of Starlog Magazine (Yup, I went there): “So we’ve been toying with the idea of ignoring the numbers completely. Instead, we’ll give each movie episode a unique title. I mean, if we had to give each film its true number in the series, this movie would be called Episode Five: The Empire Strikes Back. The first film would be called Episode Four. Can you imagine how complicated it would get? If we released a story like that publicly through a press release, thousands of people would be totally confused.” archive.org...
	4:46pm JakeGould: That quote is from his producer at the time, Gary Kurtz.
	4:46pm Cecile: hahahhaahhaa, and he went ahead and did it anyway.
	4:47pm neil who is WILD, man: @Jake-Ah, Starlog! I remember it well!! From the late 70's and early 80's....I wanted to be a special effects Matte Painter...
	4:47pm Cecile: I also don't refer to any of them as episodes. I just pretend there are four movies.
	4:49pm Cecile: My husband had a complete set from those days, but left them too close to an open window while we were away. They got quite water damaged. Matte Painters are awesome. I get all geeked out when I see good Matte Painting. The first Captain America movie had great ones.
	4:50pm JakeGould: @Cecile: Also, Phil Tippett, the stop motion animation artist who worked on all 3 films has this great quote that explicitly explains how George Lucas was looking at “Return of the Jedi.” He overheard a conversation with George Lucas and director Richard Marquand that went like this, “, "George, I don't totally get where we need to go with this picture." And George said, "Well, did you see Benji?" "No George, I didn't see Benji." "Well, what we're doing now is kind of like a cross between Benji and what we did on Empire Strikes Back."” www.movies.com...
	4:51pm Cecile: oh, dear Lord. that is new to me. And Benji was an awful movie.
	4:51pm JakeGould: @neil and @Cecile: I present you the Starlog digital archive on the Internet Archive. archive.org...
	4:52pm Cecile: niiiiice
	4:53pm Cecile: hahahhaha I have this.
	4:54pm JakeGould: @Cecile: Yup. I am pretty good at research as an adult, but from 1977 to 1980 I was a kid and had no idea how to research any of this. As an adult I read that old Gary Kurtz interview which comes from 1978 and then found that Phil Tippett interview stiff and in my mind it was a like book literally closed. It seals the fact that my enjoyment of the first two films is 100% valid: First film was unexpected hit, the next film was an unexpectedly successful sequel and by the time “Return of the Jedi” came around they just began thinking of ways to create a franchise at the expense of telling decent stories. In this light, the fact that “The Empire Strikes Back” was so mature seems like an aberration; they should have shoved more teddy bears and extended space blues numbers in that one.
	4:55pm JakeGould: Okay,m enough “Star Wars”… But one last thing, Phil Tippett’s opinion on the CGI nonsense added to the “Special Editions” was a simple 2 word response: “They’re shit.’ BRAVO!
	4:56pm Cecile: and yet, there is some very good stuff in "Jedi". Which is more than I can say for the three awful prequels.
	4:57pm JakeGould: @Cecile: There was some good stuff. But to me, I just like the speeder bike chase through the forest and the final space battle. Past that, I can’t care.
	4:57pm Cecile: YES. We kept our old VHS tapes around forever for the reason.
	4:58pm JakeGould: Anyway… Anyone here excited about the year of the Monkey?
	4:59pm Timmy: Star Wars? Phooey! I like the Star Trek movies better.
	5:00pm JakeGould: @Timmy: I prefer the Tekwars. sips tea
	5:02pm listener monica: hiya scott! checking in with mr. oui. thanks for starting us of with dream syndicate. I think the acid is starting to kick in now.
	5:04pm Cecile: monkeys kind of creep me out.
	5:04pm Scott Williams: Hey Monica & Haoui! Now would seem a good time, hope to see you there
	5:04pm Cecile: but pics of baby ones are adorable.
	5:09pm JakeGould: @Cecile: I was a baby monkey in 1968. So this is my monkey year.
	5:13pm Cecile: my Chinese zodiac sign will slowly and deliberately roll around in 5 yrs.
	5:21pm osvi: Listening live to WFMU always makes me feel better on a sick day off.
	🧩 5:21pm Ken From Hyde Park: For fun, there should be a zodiac of rock stars no longer with us. I suppose we could just substitute "Lemmy" for "monkey," for a start.
	5:25pm JakeGould: @KenFromHydePark: Oh! You just reminded me! Jason Wingreen who played the bartender from “All in the Family” and was also the voice of Boba Fett passed away this weekend. www.avclub.com...
	5:26pm Linda Lee: lovely, lovely sounds today Scott! perfect for a beautiful winter evening in the Catskills. Happy New Year to you!
	5:28pm Scott Williams: Thank you, osvi and Linda Lee! Happy new year to you
	5:29pm Linda Lee: thank you! & my gosh what a frigid one it is so far! 8 degrees here this morning ..
	5:30pm JakeGould: @ScottWilliams: Ditto on the sounds. Listening while closing out the end of the first day of 2016. Thanks as always for being an inadvertent “Star Wars” fan page on the comments.
	5:34pm listener monica: pretty!
	5:46pm coelacanth: Thank you Scott. ...and, hi! ...and Happy new year!
	5:46pm listener monica: More pretty!
	5:47pm Scott Williams: Thank you, coel!
	5:48pm Greg from ZONE 5: Feelin' this…
	5:50pm Carmichael: Ol' Vashti ....
	5:57pm Linda Lee: ~ this is the first show i'm hearing in the new year! couldn't ask for a better start ~
	5:59pm steve: great show Scott!!
	8:10pm Bas NL: Listening in full glorious retro-archived stereophonics.. Happy New Year Scott! And i discovered another one of those never-knew-what-it-was pearls: Bamako Ou Ailleurs! Thanks for playing that!
