	12:25pm coelacanth∅: this rhythm guitar, this bg vocal, this everything. -one of the best songs of all time.
	12:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: No - you have the same B-Day as Jim Morrison. There are no 'Facts'.

	12:28pm Mister Dobalina: LOVE this track. TRIPLE DOUBLE!!
	12:28pm kirk from beer city usa: I like a little hog in my breakfast
	12:30pm coelacanth∅: i choose no pig-out. i'm having palak paneer with dolmas for breakfast.
	12:30pm Mister Dobalina: Kirk : Me too, I'm having some now. And we can thank The Isley Brothers Footsteps in the Dark -- for the sample.
	12:30pm kirk from beer city usa: and I have to try really hard for my triple doubles. can't just be fuggin' around.
	12:33pm Mister Dobalina: Ohhh lots of samples on this one, Michael McDonald, Bob James, Parliament, The Evasions... Yikes.
	12:36pm Mister Dobalina: YAY! LOVE this Track TOO. SHOCK G is the man... Humpty Dumpty !!
	12:37pm Cecile: hola!
	12:37pm Mister Dobalina: A dollar outta !5 cents is hard to achieve, foo shooooo.
	12:37pm Mister Dobalina: Holla @ a Dolla
	12:40pm Cecile: yas!
	12:40pm Chud: Hell, I'll put 10 on it
	12:40pm Mister Dobalina: RIP Golden Age of Rap. Those were the daze, my teen years.
	12:42pm Cecile: To me, it was more 86-92. But part of it might have been my general disposition and age. And this is a banger.
	12:42pm Mister Dobalina: This track always reminds of the RBL Posse out of the Bay area, with Don't Give No Bammer Weed.
	12:43pm Mister Dobalina: For me it was more 90-96, a good time was had. Fur Reelz!
	12:44pm Cecile: hey Uncle Derrick!
	12:44pm Cliff in Prague: 89-mid 90s for me
	12:44pm Cecile: hey, Cliff!
	12:45pm Cliff in Prague: (I was too young to be listening to rap in '86 :) Hi Cecile!
	12:46pm Mister Dobalina: You guys are the best, stay gold, I'm outties.
	12:46pm Cecile: I wasn't, unfortunately.
	12:47pm Henry: yes!
	12:47pm Cecile: later, Mr. D!
	12:47pm Cecile: I still have this 45.
	12:49pm the Canterbury wood-elf: i bet everyone listening (who was around then) loved this REM when it came out, despite later thoughts about them.
	12:50pm Cecile: Yes. Yes, they did. I genuinely loved their first three albums. After that, a couple of albums' worth of making myself like them made me walk away.
	12:52pm Dean: Beg to differ. Never, ever liked them, but at that point I was tired of rock (thus, tired of life). I still have a hard time playing Golden Palominos records.
	12:52pm Cliff in Prague: Kids at my gifted school had an ongoing contest for who could remember the most lyrics to "It's the end of the world as we know it"
	12:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Totally onboard w/ R.E.M.'s 1st few years. HipHop...before the Copyright Police came down hard & changed it sonically - & then the self-aggrandizing GangstaBling took over the Universe - it interested me - but not so I ever knew thing one about the entire Genre...Too old a honky I suppose: grew up dreaming of guitars, not turntables: not my Time & Place - tho' we're all in the same Time & Place...I bop when I hear it - but I never ever acquired HipHop to own, for instance (aside from some Beasties rips but what is that)...
	12:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: "something something something ... Leonard Bernstein!"
	12:55pm Cliff in Prague: "Leonid Brezhnev, birthday party cheesecake jellybean boom!" Yup
	12:55pm chris: dope af first set, Chris M!
	12:55pm Planet Tyler: Have FMUers seen this fantastic video yet? www.youtube.com...
	12:56pm Dean: Demographic factors aside, I didn't acquire much hip hop or rap simply because the catalog was so vast. In for a penny, in for a pound. It's like asking oneself, "Should I be a Wagner completist?" Not gonna happen.
	12:56pm Cliff in Prague: Planet Tyler, I think Ken played that during his infamous Bohemian Rhapsody episode
	12:58pm brandon: dont forget crystal waters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KztNIg4cvE
	12:59pm brandon: in your crappy 90s jam session
	12:59pm Cecile: the first part of the era, I was more into rock, and the second part I was really broke, but I still have some great hip hop LPs, De La Soul, Kool G Rap, kid 'n' play, Run-DMC, Mantronix, Kool Moe Dee, PE. stuff like that.
	12:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: R.E.M. marked the transition from College Radio to Alternative as a Market Share. When it 1st happened - it was validation. By the time I 1st saw the term 'Adult Alternative' - what did it matter... @ 1st R.E.M. were DIY Surrealism - not even exact lyrics. That changed. I do have this VHS of them doing an arena-sized concert - & it impressed me how much of that original aesthetic they retained in that context - resonant of Byrds & Velvet Underground & Television @ turns - a summing-up, even. Cobain idolized them for good reason.
	1:00pm Devin B.: Godheadsilo reunion tour next month!
	1:00pm coelacanth: Cecile, no to "Life's rich pageant"? ...the first 4, i'd say; but that's my favorite.
	1:00pm Cliff in Prague: Congrats Chris M!
	1:04pm Cecile: I tried, coel. But no, to be honest.
	1:04pm coelacanth: Long Live the Jellyneck!
	1:04pm Cecile: REM helped a ton of other bands, too, RevRab.
	1:06pm Chris M.: thanks chris and Cliff! @brandon: what's crappy?
	1:07pm roger rover: What was that interstitial track? I know its a classic just forgetting the name....
	1:09pm billybumpus: This song is tight! I wonder if that Jeselnik guy wants to move back to jersey, or if he will have to be bound and gagged and dragged.
	1:10pm coelacanth: i never heard rem until c. 1992, when a coworker was obsessed with it and lent me some records. Life's rich pageant was the one that grabbed me. then murmer, then the 2nd & 3rd; and i thought there was too much crap on the next 3; then they seemed to turn to shit completely.
	1:11pm Cliff in Prague: Has Coil gotten some re-releases this year? I remember Sleazy had been working on that when he passed
	1:12pm Cecile: I think it all kind of went downhill after you could actually understand their lyrics.
	1:12pm billybumpus: i like the using my religion video. it made me think that the weird percussion kids in the back of the band had a future in music.
	1:12pm Chris M.: @Cliff in Prague: this is another reissue yeah
	1:12pm Cecile: but they've handled being a very popular band very well, and have really helped a lot of other people out, so I'm really happy for them.
	1:14pm Ken From Hyde Park: I also like how Stephen Colbert had Michael Stipe sitting on a shelf in the back of his set on a few episodes of Colbert Report.
	1:15pm Polyus: Astral Disaster is being reissued (or has been), which was going for over $1,000 on Discogs.
	1:15pm Cecile: this sounds like Tiger Lillies meets Steven Sondheim.
	1:16pm coelacanth: haha! -and it does.
	1:16pm Cliff in Prague: I always meant to buy Horse Rotorvator again as my only copy was the old one from the label that ripped them off
	1:17pm Greg from ZONE 5: Nailed it, Cecile.
	1:17pm Chris from DC: I really want to see Time Machines back in print someday.
	1:19pm Cliff in Prague: Time Machines - I like to fall asleep to that one.... the drones they made for 5-MeO-DMT are strangely accurate
	1:20pm Polyus: My copy of Horse Rotorvator is a boot, apparently.
	1:22pm Wild Neil: PEACE all. I saw REM with The Feelies in Shea Theatre in Buffalo in 1986 or so. That was the year they started gooing downhill for sure....but they were still pretty awesome and their first three albums are really gold! Still unemployed, sitting in the North Tonawanda Library writing this...will get fingerprinted for sub teacher position tomorrow....
	1:23pm Chris M.: will comment #100 this week be about REM or Coil? place your bets, ladies and gentlemen!
	1:24pm the Canterbury wood-elf: luvin' the aceeid squelchiea
	1:25pm Dave in Vermont: I'm betting comment #100 will be about Rodney
	1:25pm Dean: Damn, can't listen to Dangerfield! No audio here!
	1:25pm Cliff in Prague: ...or we could talk about the split EPs from Nurse With Wound and Stereolab
	1:26pm kirk from beer city usa: that was GREAT
	1:26pm chris: f yeaaaaahhhhh!
	1:28pm coelacanth: nurse w/wound + stereolab = pure gold
	1:32pm Cecile: I saw REM four times. Always great.
	1:33pm Cecile: First time, they opened up for the English Beat!
	1:36pm Cliff in Prague: I've noticed the videos for REM's "The One I Love" & Coil's "The Wheel" have similar kinds of layered video effects, and they came out within a year of each other too.
	1:36pm coelacanth: damn. i don't think i've seen any bands (non-local) 4X.
	1:37pm Planet Tyler: @Cliff - I'll have to check. I even heard that show but cant remember!
	1:37pm Chris from DC: First time I saw REM was in front of 75 people, with Let's Active opening, right before the first album came out I think.
	1:37pm Chris M.: i liked Cliff in Prague's gamble to make it a tie score
	1:38pm Chris M.: it was me. i got to 100! WINNER
	1:38pm chris: lol
	1:39pm Cliff in Prague: Everybody wins! (...and everybody hurts)
	1:39pm coelacanth: Yay Chris! hey Chris does Chris win something or something?
	1:40pm Chris M.: i'm going to have to think of an incredible prize for myself.
	1:40pm pinholga: I will never forgive Bowie for dying five years after my mom.
	1:40pm Cliff in Prague: You get to read from the news ticker again?
	1:40pm Greg from ZONE 5: My dentist had Bowie on this morning!
	1:41pm Chris from DC: Give yourself a horoscope.
	1:43pm V Priceless: abowie!
	1:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Most struggle to just write a song - Bowie compacted Short Stories into Tunes that Charted - vertically integrated w/ all his other Talents - as Conceptualist, Vocalist, Bandleader, Visual Performer...Thx for visiting our Planet, Mr. Jones.
	1:46pm Greg from ZONE 5: Ya'll see that Stooges doc? Pretty disappointing, IMHO
	1:46pm SeanG: abowie!!
	1:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh - sorry to hear that GregFZ5.
	1:48pm Polyus: Yeah, it wasn't all that great. Though I suppose there isn't a ton of archival stuff to choose from.
	1:48pm Chris M.: @Greg from ZONE 5: planning to see it... is it true they show footage of the Stooges eating huge breakfasts at a diner when a motorcycle outside catches fire?
	1:49pm Chris M.: my bad that's the Poison Idea movie. i don't know how i could get those confused
	1:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...a tragedy the paucity of prime Live Stooges footage...I ask for good Docs instead of jive DocuDrammas - & a good Doc still ends up the exception...
	1:53pm Greg from ZONE 5: It had a lo-res jpg in it. I almost walked out.
	1:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - & Jim Jarmusch no less.
	1:55pm Polyus: I wouldn't say don't go see it, though - the subject matter is still great. Maybe just go to a matinee instead. Or stream it.
	1:56pm Greg from ZONE 5: Agreed, Polyus.
	1:56pm Chris from DC: Yes!
	1:58pm Cliff in Prague: RAWK
	1:59pm chris: \m/
	2:02pm Cecile: the more I watch documentaries, the more I realize they have their own formulas. Maybe not as obnoxious as fiction films, but it's there.
	2:04pm chris: as far as documentaries go, you can't beat "Cane Toads: An Unnatural History". seriously.
	2:07pm Linda Lee: helllo Chris M! malllomars are a chocolate-covered marshmellow + cookie once sold in grocery stores all year long. a terrible addiction of my youth.
	2:08pm Mark the Sardine: You OK, Chris? We're glad you're here. Congrats on 5 years.
	2:08pm Linda Lee: happy anniversary!
	2:08pm Cheri Pi: Happy 5th birthday Chris!
	2:08pm Dave in Vermont: Not 5 consecutive years.
	2:09pm Cecile: Richard Nixon's mix tape!
	2:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Directors say they have to tell a Narrative - & now that means dumbing down to Millennials (as they perceive them - &/or claim to be doing) - which is esp. frustrating when the Subject was about the opposite of dumbing down, or filtered transmission...The new Beatles touring years film has frustrated the experts, for instance...Yet - inevitable that everything must get the Treatment now... Great sets here anyhow!...
	2:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Happy B-Day Program!
	2:13pm Marc15: Here's what should happen in your novel Chris: A n insane demagogue becomes President of United States. Oh wait, that happened in real life
	2:13pm pinholga: @Cecile 2:02 That's why Documentary Now is so great.
	2:14pm Michael 98145: ( mallomars aren't just from Woolworth's anymore: mahzedahrbakery.com... )
	2:14pm Marc15: An*
	2:14pm Cecile: I'll have to see that. The previews look hilarious.
	2:15pm Cecile: What should happen next? Henry James comes in and blows them all away with his AK.
	2:15pm Ike: This novel needs more cane toads.
	2:17pm Dean: "Startled awake, Mr. Abelwhite sat upright in bed. His tired eyes glared into the dark, silent room. It had all been a horrible dream!"
	2:18pm Cecile: Cane toads and some pharmaceutical grade speed.
	2:19pm Dean: "I know. I saw. You disgust me."
	2:20pm Chris from DC: Or maybe some toad canes.
	2:23pm Chris from DC: Noooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!
	2:23pm Greg from ZONE 5: Nothin' but hits!
	2:23pm billybumpus: whats the number again?
	2:23pm Cliff in Prague: No hot dogs, but I'm eating macaroni & cheese right now
	2:28pm Devin B.: The estate of Wilkie Collins would like to have a word with you
	2:29pm Michael 98145: back to fake news feeds for me
	2:29pm Cliff in Prague: Ok Chris, now do a stream-of-consciousness ramble and mess up the names of obscure musicians
	2:29pm Greg from ZONE 5: I vote that Fabio now must transition into his show with Chris and then out of it with Clay.
	2:30pm Dean: Of course it isn't on the air. That's why it would have been a surprise.
	2:30pm Devin B.: Seconded
	2:32pm Cliff in Prague: He's even playing the same music Clay would play
	2:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I think the English still have a version of it on? (Probably theirs originally?)
	2:33pm Polyus: Blooozy
	2:34pm mink: Awwww you should interview yourself as if u are famous. like I do in the bath :) congrats on 5 years!!!
	2:34pm Greg from ZONE 5: I don't think I've ever heard this song outside of Dazed & Confused. Still works!
	2:35pm Cecile: oh, man, I think this was the Teen U.P. National Anthem for a while.
	2:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...better than JourneyStyxForeignerKansasREOSpeedwagon...I'll give it that...
	2:36pm Michael 98145: ( is this a strange episode, or am i just Imagining it ? :)
	2:37pm Cliff in Prague: Oh gawwwwd, Styx
	2:43pm Greg from ZONE 5: CLICKY-STAR PARADE!
	2:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I have video of Horse running like little girls from a G.G. Allin show - & I'm open to suppressing them for a fee...
	2:44pm βrian: Gosh, that suppurating demonic eye looks almost like a cherry ...
	2:44pm SeanG: this song is the tits!
	2:49pm SeanG: hehe
	2:49pm Cliff in Prague: Hey everybody let's talk about turntables now!
	2:49pm Chris from DC: And here it is.
	2:49pm JP from KC: Jesus. 2016 has officially traumatized me. I just got an email from my local PBS station with a subject line that just read "Because of Big Bird..." and my first thought was "Holy shit, if Caroll Spinney is dead, I'm just going to go home right now and stay in bed until this awful year has ended." Fortunately, it was just an email hitting me up for donations.
	2:52pm chris: thanks, Chris M! five more years! five more years! It's gonna be easy! It's gonna be easy! It's gonna be easy! It's gonna be easy! It's gonna be easy! It's gonna be easy! It's gonna be easy! It's gonna be easy! It's gonna be easy! It's gonna be easy! It's gonna be easy! It's gonna be easy! It's gonna be easy! It's gonna be easy! It's gonna be easy! It's gonna be easy!
	2:52pm Chris from DC: ...again
	2:52pm coelacanth: here's mine, Cliff... i1083.photobucket.com...
	2:53pm Chris M.: thanks everybody!
	2:54pm Cliff in Prague: Trains + Turntables = Nerdosity Squared Thanks Chris!
	2:54pm coelacanth: Thanks Chris and Congratulations!
	2:55pm Michael 98145: @coelacanth, wow, nice set up!
	2:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bloom County reportedly 36 today.
	2:58pm βrian: Auto-tune?? Neil, thou art anathema!
	2:59pm coelacanth: but you were on "to tell the truth". i saw it, but apparently they screwed up and forgot to contact you, so had 3 fake Chris Ms.
	2:59pm Ike: Yes, Foghat should definitely be put behind a brick wall, Poe-style. Heh.
	2:59pm Michael 98145: laughing thru the tears today
	2:59pm Anonymous Coward: What's your background/outro music?

	12:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: No - you have the same B-Day as Jim Morrison. There are no 'Facts'.
	12:27pm Agent Peter: Never seen Chris M and Jim M. same place same time just sayin'
	12:28pm Mister Dobalina: LOVE this track. TRIPLE DOUBLE!!
	12:28pm kirk from beer city usa: I like a little hog in my breakfast
	12:30pm coelacanth∅: i choose no pig-out. i'm having palak paneer with dolmas for breakfast.
	12:30pm Mister Dobalina: Kirk : Me too, I'm having some now. And we can thank The Isley Brothers Footsteps in the Dark -- for the sample.
	12:30pm kirk from beer city usa: and I have to try really hard for my triple doubles. can't just be fuggin' around.
	12:33pm Mister Dobalina: Ohhh lots of samples on this one, Michael McDonald, Bob James, Parliament, The Evasions... Yikes.
	12:36pm Mister Dobalina: YAY! LOVE this Track TOO. SHOCK G is the man... Humpty Dumpty !!
	12:37pm Cecile: hola!
	12:37pm Mister Dobalina: A dollar outta !5 cents is hard to achieve, foo shooooo.
	12:37pm Mister Dobalina: Holla @ a Dolla
	12:40pm Cecile: yas!
	12:40pm Chud: Hell, I'll put 10 on it
	12:40pm Mister Dobalina: RIP Golden Age of Rap. Those were the daze, my teen years.
	12:42pm Cecile: To me, it was more 86-92. But part of it might have been my general disposition and age. And this is a banger.
	12:42pm Mister Dobalina: This track always reminds of the RBL Posse out of the Bay area, with Don't Give No Bammer Weed.
	12:43pm Mister Dobalina: For me it was more 90-96, a good time was had. Fur Reelz!
	12:44pm Cecile: hey Uncle Derrick!
	12:44pm Cliff in Prague: 89-mid 90s for me
	12:44pm Cecile: hey, Cliff!
	12:45pm Cliff in Prague: (I was too young to be listening to rap in '86 :) Hi Cecile!
	12:46pm Mister Dobalina: You guys are the best, stay gold, I'm outties.
	12:46pm Cecile: I wasn't, unfortunately.
	12:47pm Henry: yes!
	12:47pm Cecile: later, Mr. D!
	12:47pm Cecile: I still have this 45.
	12:49pm the Canterbury wood-elf: i bet everyone listening (who was around then) loved this REM when it came out, despite later thoughts about them.
	12:50pm Cecile: Yes. Yes, they did. I genuinely loved their first three albums. After that, a couple of albums' worth of making myself like them made me walk away.
	12:52pm Dean: Beg to differ. Never, ever liked them, but at that point I was tired of rock (thus, tired of life). I still have a hard time playing Golden Palominos records.
	12:52pm Cliff in Prague: Kids at my gifted school had an ongoing contest for who could remember the most lyrics to "It's the end of the world as we know it"
	12:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Totally onboard w/ R.E.M.'s 1st few years. HipHop...before the Copyright Police came down hard & changed it sonically - & then the self-aggrandizing GangstaBling took over the Universe - it interested me - but not so I ever knew thing one about the entire Genre...Too old a honky I suppose: grew up dreaming of guitars, not turntables: not my Time & Place - tho' we're all in the same Time & Place...I bop when I hear it - but I never ever acquired HipHop to own, for instance (aside from some Beasties rips but what is that)...
	12:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: "something something something ... Leonard Bernstein!"
	12:55pm Cliff in Prague: "Leonid Brezhnev, birthday party cheesecake jellybean boom!" Yup
	12:55pm chris: dope af first set, Chris M!
	12:55pm Planet Tyler: Have FMUers seen this fantastic video yet? www.youtube.com...
	12:56pm Dean: Demographic factors aside, I didn't acquire much hip hop or rap simply because the catalog was so vast. In for a penny, in for a pound. It's like asking oneself, "Should I be a Wagner completist?" Not gonna happen.
	12:56pm Cliff in Prague: Planet Tyler, I think Ken played that during his infamous Bohemian Rhapsody episode
	12:58pm brandon: dont forget crystal waters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KztNIg4cvE
	12:59pm brandon: in your crappy 90s jam session
	12:59pm Cecile: the first part of the era, I was more into rock, and the second part I was really broke, but I still have some great hip hop LPs, De La Soul, Kool G Rap, kid 'n' play, Run-DMC, Mantronix, Kool Moe Dee, PE. stuff like that.
	12:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: R.E.M. marked the transition from College Radio to Alternative as a Market Share. When it 1st happened - it was validation. By the time I 1st saw the term 'Adult Alternative' - what did it matter... @ 1st R.E.M. were DIY Surrealism - not even exact lyrics. That changed. I do have this VHS of them doing an arena-sized concert - & it impressed me how much of that original aesthetic they retained in that context - resonant of Byrds & Velvet Underground & Television @ turns - a summing-up, even. Cobain idolized them for good reason.
	1:00pm Devin B.: Godheadsilo reunion tour next month!
	1:00pm coelacanth: Cecile, no to "Life's rich pageant"? ...the first 4, i'd say; but that's my favorite.
	1:00pm Cliff in Prague: Congrats Chris M!
	1:04pm Cecile: I tried, coel. But no, to be honest.
	1:04pm coelacanth: Long Live the Jellyneck!
	1:04pm Cecile: REM helped a ton of other bands, too, RevRab.
	1:06pm Chris M.: thanks chris and Cliff! @brandon: what's crappy?
	1:07pm roger rover: What was that interstitial track? I know its a classic just forgetting the name....
	1:09pm billybumpus: This song is tight! I wonder if that Jeselnik guy wants to move back to jersey, or if he will have to be bound and gagged and dragged.
	1:10pm coelacanth: i never heard rem until c. 1992, when a coworker was obsessed with it and lent me some records. Life's rich pageant was the one that grabbed me. then murmer, then the 2nd & 3rd; and i thought there was too much crap on the next 3; then they seemed to turn to shit completely.
	1:11pm Cliff in Prague: Has Coil gotten some re-releases this year? I remember Sleazy had been working on that when he passed
	1:12pm Cecile: I think it all kind of went downhill after you could actually understand their lyrics.
	1:12pm billybumpus: i like the using my religion video. it made me think that the weird percussion kids in the back of the band had a future in music.
	1:12pm Chris M.: @Cliff in Prague: this is another reissue yeah
	1:12pm Cecile: but they've handled being a very popular band very well, and have really helped a lot of other people out, so I'm really happy for them.
	1:14pm Ken From Hyde Park: I also like how Stephen Colbert had Michael Stipe sitting on a shelf in the back of his set on a few episodes of Colbert Report.
	1:15pm Polyus: Astral Disaster is being reissued (or has been), which was going for over $1,000 on Discogs.
	1:15pm Cecile: this sounds like Tiger Lillies meets Steven Sondheim.
	1:16pm coelacanth: haha! -and it does.
	1:16pm Cliff in Prague: I always meant to buy Horse Rotorvator again as my only copy was the old one from the label that ripped them off
	1:17pm Greg from ZONE 5: Nailed it, Cecile.
	1:17pm Chris from DC: I really want to see Time Machines back in print someday.
	1:19pm Cliff in Prague: Time Machines - I like to fall asleep to that one.... the drones they made for 5-MeO-DMT are strangely accurate
	1:20pm Polyus: My copy of Horse Rotorvator is a boot, apparently.
	1:22pm Wild Neil: PEACE all. I saw REM with The Feelies in Shea Theatre in Buffalo in 1986 or so. That was the year they started gooing downhill for sure....but they were still pretty awesome and their first three albums are really gold! Still unemployed, sitting in the North Tonawanda Library writing this...will get fingerprinted for sub teacher position tomorrow....
	1:23pm Chris M.: will comment #100 this week be about REM or Coil? place your bets, ladies and gentlemen!
	1:24pm the Canterbury wood-elf: luvin' the aceeid squelchiea
	1:25pm Dave in Vermont: I'm betting comment #100 will be about Rodney
	1:25pm Dean: Damn, can't listen to Dangerfield! No audio here!
	1:25pm Cliff in Prague: ...or we could talk about the split EPs from Nurse With Wound and Stereolab
	1:26pm kirk from beer city usa: that was GREAT
	1:26pm chris: f yeaaaaahhhhh!
	1:28pm coelacanth: nurse w/wound + stereolab = pure gold
	1:32pm Cecile: I saw REM four times. Always great.
	1:33pm Cecile: First time, they opened up for the English Beat!
	1:36pm Cliff in Prague: I've noticed the videos for REM's "The One I Love" & Coil's "The Wheel" have similar kinds of layered video effects, and they came out within a year of each other too.
	1:36pm coelacanth: damn. i don't think i've seen any bands (non-local) 4X.
	1:37pm Planet Tyler: @Cliff - I'll have to check. I even heard that show but cant remember!
	1:37pm Chris from DC: First time I saw REM was in front of 75 people, with Let's Active opening, right before the first album came out I think.
	1:37pm Chris M.: i liked Cliff in Prague's gamble to make it a tie score
	1:38pm Chris M.: it was me. i got to 100! WINNER
	1:38pm chris: lol
	1:39pm Cliff in Prague: Everybody wins! (...and everybody hurts)
	1:39pm coelacanth: Yay Chris! hey Chris does Chris win something or something?
	1:40pm Chris M.: i'm going to have to think of an incredible prize for myself.
	1:40pm pinholga: I will never forgive Bowie for dying five years after my mom.
	1:40pm Cliff in Prague: You get to read from the news ticker again?
	1:40pm Greg from ZONE 5: My dentist had Bowie on this morning!
	1:41pm Chris from DC: Give yourself a horoscope.
	1:43pm V Priceless: abowie!
	1:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Most struggle to just write a song - Bowie compacted Short Stories into Tunes that Charted - vertically integrated w/ all his other Talents - as Conceptualist, Vocalist, Bandleader, Visual Performer...Thx for visiting our Planet, Mr. Jones.
	1:46pm Greg from ZONE 5: Ya'll see that Stooges doc? Pretty disappointing, IMHO
	1:46pm SeanG: abowie!!
	1:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Oh - sorry to hear that GregFZ5.
	1:48pm Polyus: Yeah, it wasn't all that great. Though I suppose there isn't a ton of archival stuff to choose from.
	1:48pm Chris M.: @Greg from ZONE 5: planning to see it... is it true they show footage of the Stooges eating huge breakfasts at a diner when a motorcycle outside catches fire?
	1:49pm Chris M.: my bad that's the Poison Idea movie. i don't know how i could get those confused
	1:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...a tragedy the paucity of prime Live Stooges footage...I ask for good Docs instead of jive DocuDrammas - & a good Doc still ends up the exception...
	1:53pm Greg from ZONE 5: It had a lo-res jpg in it. I almost walked out.
	1:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - & Jim Jarmusch no less.
	1:55pm Polyus: I wouldn't say don't go see it, though - the subject matter is still great. Maybe just go to a matinee instead. Or stream it.
	1:56pm Greg from ZONE 5: Agreed, Polyus.
	1:56pm Chris from DC: Yes!
	1:58pm Cliff in Prague: RAWK
	1:59pm chris: \m/
	2:02pm Cecile: the more I watch documentaries, the more I realize they have their own formulas. Maybe not as obnoxious as fiction films, but it's there.
	2:04pm chris: as far as documentaries go, you can't beat "Cane Toads: An Unnatural History". seriously.
	2:07pm Linda Lee: helllo Chris M! malllomars are a chocolate-covered marshmellow + cookie once sold in grocery stores all year long. a terrible addiction of my youth.
	2:08pm Mark the Sardine: You OK, Chris? We're glad you're here. Congrats on 5 years.
	2:08pm Linda Lee: happy anniversary!
	2:08pm Cheri Pi: Happy 5th birthday Chris!
	2:08pm Dave in Vermont: Not 5 consecutive years.
	2:09pm Cecile: Richard Nixon's mix tape!
	2:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Directors say they have to tell a Narrative - & now that means dumbing down to Millennials (as they perceive them - &/or claim to be doing) - which is esp. frustrating when the Subject was about the opposite of dumbing down, or filtered transmission...The new Beatles touring years film has frustrated the experts, for instance...Yet - inevitable that everything must get the Treatment now... Great sets here anyhow!...
	2:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Happy B-Day Program!
	2:13pm Marc15: Here's what should happen in your novel Chris: A n insane demagogue becomes President of United States. Oh wait, that happened in real life
	2:13pm pinholga: @Cecile 2:02 That's why Documentary Now is so great.
	2:14pm Michael 98145: ( mallomars aren't just from Woolworth's anymore: mahzedahrbakery.com... )
	2:14pm Marc15: An*
	2:14pm Cecile: I'll have to see that. The previews look hilarious.
	2:15pm Cecile: What should happen next? Henry James comes in and blows them all away with his AK.
	2:15pm Ike: This novel needs more cane toads.
	2:17pm Dean: "Startled awake, Mr. Abelwhite sat upright in bed. His tired eyes glared into the dark, silent room. It had all been a horrible dream!"
	2:18pm Cecile: Cane toads and some pharmaceutical grade speed.
	2:19pm Dean: "I know. I saw. You disgust me."
	2:20pm Chris from DC: Or maybe some toad canes.
	2:23pm Chris from DC: Noooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!
	2:23pm Greg from ZONE 5: Nothin' but hits!
	2:23pm billybumpus: whats the number again?
	2:23pm Cliff in Prague: No hot dogs, but I'm eating macaroni & cheese right now
	2:28pm Devin B.: The estate of Wilkie Collins would like to have a word with you
	2:29pm Michael 98145: back to fake news feeds for me
	2:29pm Cliff in Prague: Ok Chris, now do a stream-of-consciousness ramble and mess up the names of obscure musicians
	2:29pm Greg from ZONE 5: I vote that Fabio now must transition into his show with Chris and then out of it with Clay.
	2:30pm Dean: Of course it isn't on the air. That's why it would have been a surprise.
	2:30pm Devin B.: Seconded
	2:32pm Cliff in Prague: He's even playing the same music Clay would play
	2:32pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I think the English still have a version of it on? (Probably theirs originally?)
	2:33pm Polyus: Blooozy
	2:34pm mink: Awwww you should interview yourself as if u are famous. like I do in the bath :) congrats on 5 years!!!
	2:34pm Greg from ZONE 5: I don't think I've ever heard this song outside of Dazed & Confused. Still works!
	2:35pm Cecile: oh, man, I think this was the Teen U.P. National Anthem for a while.
	2:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...better than JourneyStyxForeignerKansasREOSpeedwagon...I'll give it that...
	2:36pm Michael 98145: ( is this a strange episode, or am i just Imagining it ? :)
	2:37pm Cliff in Prague: Oh gawwwwd, Styx
	2:43pm Greg from ZONE 5: CLICKY-STAR PARADE!
	2:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I have video of Horse running like little girls from a G.G. Allin show - & I'm open to suppressing them for a fee...
	2:44pm βrian: Gosh, that suppurating demonic eye looks almost like a cherry ...
	2:44pm SeanG: this song is the tits!
	2:49pm SeanG: hehe
	2:49pm Cliff in Prague: Hey everybody let's talk about turntables now!
	2:49pm Chris from DC: And here it is.
	2:49pm JP from KC: Jesus. 2016 has officially traumatized me. I just got an email from my local PBS station with a subject line that just read "Because of Big Bird..." and my first thought was "Holy shit, if Caroll Spinney is dead, I'm just going to go home right now and stay in bed until this awful year has ended." Fortunately, it was just an email hitting me up for donations.
	2:52pm chris: thanks, Chris M! five more years! five more years! It's gonna be easy! It's gonna be easy! It's gonna be easy! It's gonna be easy! It's gonna be easy! It's gonna be easy! It's gonna be easy! It's gonna be easy! It's gonna be easy! It's gonna be easy! It's gonna be easy! It's gonna be easy! It's gonna be easy! It's gonna be easy! It's gonna be easy! It's gonna be easy!
	2:52pm Chris from DC: ...again
	2:52pm coelacanth: here's mine, Cliff... i1083.photobucket.com...
	2:53pm Chris M.: thanks everybody!
	2:54pm Cliff in Prague: Trains + Turntables = Nerdosity Squared Thanks Chris!
	2:54pm coelacanth: Thanks Chris and Congratulations!
	2:55pm Michael 98145: @coelacanth, wow, nice set up!
	2:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bloom County reportedly 36 today.
	2:58pm βrian: Auto-tune?? Neil, thou art anathema!
	2:59pm coelacanth: but you were on "to tell the truth". i saw it, but apparently they screwed up and forgot to contact you, so had 3 fake Chris Ms.
	2:59pm Ike: Yes, Foghat should definitely be put behind a brick wall, Poe-style. Heh.
	2:59pm Michael 98145: laughing thru the tears today
	2:59pm Anonymous Coward: What's your background/outro music?
