	3:12pm Simon&morphe': Somehow, whilst fiddling in the kitchen, thinking this song would have some formulation of "... Mr. Bojangles...in it.."
	3:13pm Hubig Pie: Loved that Rhys Chatham track, I did.
	3:14pm northguineahills: ↳ Hubig Pie @3:13 what hubig pie said^

	3:24pm bobobob plasticland: I lent my drum set to Glenn Branca for a show at UWM Milwaukee...does that count??
	3:24pm slugluv1313: ahhh the soothing sounds of Giant Man -- in Finnish, no less! (perhaps that is why one of the cats was "singing" along?!? 🇫🇮😹) for some inexplicable reason, i went deep down into this Uriah Heep rabbit hole yesterday -- except for "Easy Living" and "Stealin'," i absolutely HATED them when i was a teenager (& i am guessing having to sit through their 30 minute set while waiting to watch The New York Dolls on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert didn't help???) . . . anyway! already i feel like your show will be a wonderful palate cleanser . . . gotta step away from the accu for a bit, but SO HAPPY to be here, listening with you all 😺😺
	👻 3:24pm KenW: AWESOME start Brother, thrilled to hear you on these airwaves!!!!!!!

	3:34pm DonJuanTijuana: MINGYA!! Who let this guy outta Brooklyn?
	3:35pm slugluv1313: ↳ northguineahills @3:27 hi NGH! strangely, i was not as repulsed as i was as a kid? but by the mid-70s, I was already immersed in "punk" -- and Uriah Heep was like EVERYTHING that kinda drove me to love and appreciate "punk" -- and their gone-too-soon bass player Gary Thain was freaking amazing
	👻 3:40pm chresti: ↳ Song: "♠♠" by "Toad" 2 spades?
	3:42pm dale: thanks for gracing the airwaves again fabio.
	3:45pm Scott67: G'day Fabio & Strong ones! Putting my STF Shirt on in your honor. Hey it matches the playlist colour! 🌏☀️☕😎🤙💨🍺☕🍷🍸🍹🌻
	3:45pm fred: ↳ chresti @3:40 For context, Nuit de Noces is a series of events where many bands from La Novia play all night (and often part of the afternoon before that). Since many are in several bands, and a lot is improvised, there are often no titles (look here: la-novia.bandcamp.com...)
	👻 3:51pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Yay, Fabio!

	3:52pm Crimsonwolf: Valerio Cosi track is reminding me of Moondog. Nice. Hello from Whidbey Island WA.

	3:55pm northguineahills: ↳ fred @3:45 i'm not sure if i'm convinced. maybe if someone flew me out to le puy to experience it live, i may have a more informed opinion....;0
	3:57pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "One White Candle, No Moon Night" by "Starving Wei... the last time i heard this starving weirdos track was via fabio 3.25 years ago...
	3:57pm Glistener MW: Whoa! Welcome back, Fabio!!!

	4:10pm slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "Ouverture Fragile" by "Ghédalia Tazartès" Ghédalia Tazartès 💜💜💜 thank you, Fabio!
	4:10pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth @4:09 well, i didn't say what species of fish, so, yeah, of course!

	4:10pm northguineahills: ↳ slugluv1313 @4:10 what slugluv said...

	4:15pm Ochre Ogre: Ego, YMCA, the fascist Orange 45?
	4:15pm Crimsonwolf: Anything from Peter Hammill is ALWAYS welcome. Thank you.
	4:16pm McGroovey: Peter Hamill: one of my favorites. I haven't listened to him or Van der Graaf Generator much in the past few years. I should fix that.
	👻 4:17pm chresti: ↳ Song: "A Motorbike in Africa" by "Peter Hammill" great!
	4:18pm northguineahills: ↳ Ochre Ogre @4:15 there was a quote upthread attributed to wfmu dj glen jones, i believe that's what fabio was rapping on... (or something....)
	👻 4:21pm chresti: ↳ bobobobob plasticland.. @3:19 Ah, never listened to that show
	👻 4:22pm chresti: ↳ northguineahills @4:18 Let's rap
	4:24pm HyperDose: ↳ chresti @4:22 Does Fabio have a mixtape coming out?
	4:24pm northguineahills: ↳ chresti @4:22 i can be wordy, but you be rapping in the hood...
	4:24pm PaulRobeson1922: Fat babies r my favie & You can never have too many favies
	4:24pm coelacanth∅: go ahead Fabio now's your time to vent!
	👻 4:27pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: ↳ northguineahills @4:18 Ah, thanks for clearing that up, North Guinea Hills! Gah. Gimme "factory noises" anytime. Love this show. Glad to have it back, even if only for this week (for now).
	4:28pm McGroovey: ↳ Song: "A Motorbike in Africa" by "Peter Hammill" When I first got The Future Now, I was pushing thirty myself, so the opening song, Pushing Thirty, rang my bell. Now I'm pushing sixty.
	4:28pm Carmichael: Tnanks, slug. Now I'm going down the Uriah Heep rabbithole ...
	4:29pm Evan: Fabio! So good to listen to your show again - my favourite on WFMU, for almost 20 years.
	4:30pm coelacanth∅: ha, S&M &S i just scrolled up too. ...and i was just thinking about Glrn Jones yesterday...(before he was called "Jonesy")
	4:30pm Handy Haversack: Fabio! Failsafes! So glad to be home and to find you all here! We're just back from La Monte Young's Dream House, where I was proudly sporting my STF T-shirt. The system works!
	4:31pm coelacanth∅: (Glrn = Glen)
	4:32pm Ochre Ogre: ↳ northguineahills @4:18 K thanks. Just ducked in here for a few. Oh that in house FMU comradery.
	4:33pm northguineahills: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:30 I've been to the Dream House many times, but never when there was sound 'performing'. (not sure how that worked, me missing that)
	4:34pm nic: love love
	4:34pm coelacanth∅: there are lots of wfmu show hosts that will never play "factory noises". Mr. Jones said it out loud,that's all.
	👻 4:34pm Bas NL: ↳ nic @4:34 2nd that!
	4:34pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: 4:33 already😱😱😱 wow the show is half over. It’s always the same thing time just flys by like on warp 9
	4:35pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @3:06 This last article in a great series on the World Cup was a lovely tribute to Pelé and to joy: www.theringer.com...
	4:36pm jojo: Jimmy DeSana...like Burroughs doing photography...T Heads-More Songs about Buildings and Food album cover is one of his photos....legendary
	4:37pm bobob plasticland drummer: ⚽⚽⚽🙁hey Handy
	4:38pm Handy Haversack: ↳ northguineahills @4:33 It was real satisfying, ngh. Nice to dis- and resociate for a while. And we grabbed some dumplings. Took the ferry over, quick subway back. Home in time for half of STF. Solid. I think I'll get the drinks in. Orders?
	4:39pm Handy Haversack: Hey hey, bobobobobobob!
	4:39pm JetBoy of Astoria: I’ll have what the guy on the floor was having
	4:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...it would've been something if Pele gave himself to a Hawaiian volcano ...Sporting of him even...
	4:40pm bobob Fabulon Triptometer: Fabio has as all the beautiful soundzzzz!!!!!
	4:41pm slugluv1313: ↳ Carmichael @4:28 ooooooh no, Carmichael! i am so sorry!!!
	4:42pm coelacanth∅: magician's birthday is a solid album -so's stealin'
	4:43pm bobobob: sometimes..The Village People and Springsteen aren't called for
	4:43pm northguineahills: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:38 throw a splash of mezcal on a michelada cubano/juliano for me, danks!
	4:44pm JetBoy of Astoria: I’m enjoying this.
	4:44pm coelacanth∅: the village people are almost never called for!
	4:45pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:44 but they say it takes a village....
	4:45pm slugluv1313: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:30 hiya Handy! K8! Creatures 🐈‍⬛🦮🐶🐈 AMAZING! believe it or not -- i have never been to the Dream House! i need to remedy that 😺😺
	4:46pm northguineahills: ↳ slugluv1313 @4:45 draw drops to the floor at least I've physically been in there (i still have no excuse)
	👻 4:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:35 Thank you. Very nice essay.
	4:47pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: Can’t ANYONE here donate a 1 month vacation to Aruba or cancoon to Scott… PLEASE I’m begging you
	4:48pm nic: love this!!!
	4:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ listener Phillip in the Bronx @4:47 Fabio vs. Scott is a false narrative.
	4:48pm Fabio: @ coelacanth∅: I want to be clear about something here: it wasn't just that "factory noises" were mentioned, there was a specific show in which he went on to talk about something that happened within the station over 35 years ago. this was then used to stroke his own ego, talking nonsense about a "certain dj" who he would not name. this was outrageous and despicable behavior toward a fellow dj. and this is all I will say about it. but hearing that more has been spouted on the air is really ugly stuff and it is unfortunate that someone would be so self absorbed and petty.
	4:49pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: Perfection is Irwin on wednesdays. Fabio on Thursday’s. And Bryce on Friday’s
	4:49pm coelacanth∅: that shit-sounding serius radio had a Bruce Springsteen station. my sister's ex-husband, through various cars (5-6) over the course of over 20 years never didn't have that station on. that's how many people feel about Springsteen.
	4:50pm Handy Haversack: ↳ northguineahills @4:43 You got it! Cheers, O my Strong Ones! Been too long!
	4:51pm mb: Hey there Fabios
	4:52pm Scott67: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:50 Cheers Handy!🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	4:52pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Weather" by "Anne James Chaton & Andy Moor" how did i miss anne james chaton in there, i love him, and his voice is unmistakable!
	4:53pm bobob: listener Phil...I totally agree that's nirvana
	4:54pm coelacanth∅: oh, Fabio...Thank you. i didn't catch all that! yeah it sucks. ...but reminds me of another incident -which was probably recurring -when a certain dj (!) had several guest show hosts on to talk about music and pretend they were authorities. they thoroughly bashed "prog". made me not listen to any of them for at least a decade!
	4:55pm slugluv1313: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:42 only heard "The Wizard" for the first time yesterday (i think? unless it was played on WNEW-FM and i was not aware) -- i kinda liked it? or maybe it was the flashback to early 70s music, vibes, etc. (this was on youtube) -- the fashions! the girls dancing! some doing what looked like some kinda interpretive dance -- ?? and i found an even older song, pre-David Byron -- "Lady in Black," iirc -- also really evocative of those early 70s sounds :)
	4:55pm northguineahills: i first heard gesang der junglinge by sneaking into the uni's music library and putting their needle on the record...(about '97)
	4:57pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:54 i find such talk as unkosher...
	4:58pm Destroit: Hi Fabio, nice to have you back in the lab creating aural ointments. hi gang o commenters!
	4:58pm bobobob plasticland: Stockhausen.... kickin' the CAN..down the street.nice
	4:59pm Handy Haversack: ↳ slugluv1313 @4:45 Hey, slugluv! Maybe we can meet up for a trip there some time!
	4:59pm coelacanth∅: ah,slugluv -demons & wizards, forgot about that one. also good! (and i said "stealin'" when i should've said sweet freedom, where that song appears)
	👻 5:00pm chresti: ↳ Destroit @4:58 Hi Destroit!
	5:01pm slugluv1313: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:59 thanks so much -- that would be freaking awesome!
	5:01pm coelacanth∅: ngh i concur hi Destroit!
	5:02pm listener james from westwood: Sunday noon–three is a mausoleum, where you can hear the same echoes from the past 20 years. If he's stooping to bashing other folks from longer ago than some listeners and even DJs have been alive, the proprietor of that slot has even less in the tank than I thought. For bold, adventurous, inspired radio that keeps pushing the edge instead of huffing its own jockstrap, I go to Strength Through Failure, among MANY others. /rant
	5:02pm timinoak: This song.. sort of a lovely musical version of Miracle Nutrition
	👻 5:02pm chresti: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:54 Maybe that's why SM Ken decided to have a prog show
	5:03pm fred: ↳ northguineahills @4:52 Chaton had an exhibition nearby this year (pretty good). It was free, but there was a small printer at the front door that gave you a numbered ticket with "I saw it" on top
	👻 5:04pm Bas NL: Karlheinz Stockhausen performed this piece in the NL in 1956 as part of the Gaudeamus Muziekweek i just found.. I know he did work at the Gaudeamus studio.
	5:04pm coelacanth∅: slugluv my tolerance of Byron's singing is limited! but it never used to be. i think because i've heard so many ("metal") imitators since i was into the 'eep back in the day that that style has been worn out for me.
	5:04pm northguineahills: is this where i bring up cornelius cardew's "stockhausen serves imperialism"?
	5:05pm nic: that was is great!!!
	5:05pm northguineahills: ↳ fred @5:03 wow, jealous as per usual!
	5:06pm northguineahills: ↳ bobobob plasticland @4:58 i was going to go w/ a bang on a can reference, but yours works too!
	5:06pm Destroit: Hi Chresti, Hi Coel! Love it when u guygals are in the house!
	5:09pm fred: ↳ northguineahills @5:04 Apparently Stockhausen is also the name of a German catering company. A coworker brought back a paper band from a sandwich as proof (and pics). Funny thing is that it was at a computer music conference. So that Stockhausen at least definitely is available to serve whoever pays
	5:10pm slugluv1313: ↳ chresti @5:02 hi chresti! right?!? and i am totally loving that prog show, as do others -- my guess is that (whether we like it or not!), many of us grew up with "progressive rock" (sez the goofball who is now digging deep into Uriah Heep 😹😹) and as dear Wm. Berger used to say (paraphrasing?): if you don't like what you hear, change the station!
	5:11pm Handy Haversack: Dave Mandl's prog show is a real treat. Monday evenings are such good WFMU.
	5:14pm listener 126464: Bashing DJs. That's nice.
	5:15pm Destroit: Gee i guess i missed some drama?
	5:16pm slugluv1313: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:04 i think i just found Byron annoying? not sure why -- he was theatrical, flamboyant -- like many 70s rockers were! i think it got in the way of my appreciation of his vocal range/ability (& possibly the musicians' talents too)
	5:16pm fred: ↳ fred @5:09 I think I found the site (the logo matches), but my knowledge of German is nil at most: www.stockhausen-spezialitaeten.de
	👻 5:17pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Wearing Quid Frock/The Least Painful Earrings" by... Love this
	👻 5:19pm chresti: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:11 I love Dave Mandl and his show!
	5:19pm coelacanth∅: listener james i agree...bad form to say the least! -and he might've been around when whom he dissed was. 35 years? maybe. it's sad maybe especially for people who remember him then.
	👻 5:20pm chresti: ↳ slugluv1313 @5:10 Hi slugluv! I'm learning so much!
	👻 5:20pm Mick: Thankful for this year-end dose of failure! Thanks for sharing the amazing musics, Fabio.
	5:21pm Handy Haversack: chresti, did I tell you we ran into Daniel Blumin while out and about in Brooklyn on Tuesday evening?
	5:22pm slugluv1313: ↳ Fabio @4:48 ugh Fabio THAT SUCKS! i am so sorry -- i do not listen to that show, but i seriously do not understand the pettiness, hostility, egotism, etc. -- this WFMU! freeform! where DJs can play whatever they want, WITHOUT judgement
	👻 5:23pm chresti: ↳ listener james from westwood @5:02 DJ Jockstrap!
	5:23pm Prof. Booty: listener james - second (third) that; I always feel like maybe I'm wrong about GJ and that the "thing" he does actually stands on its own merits like all the other DJ "things." And I don't even really mind the music, though I find he's more and more talk than music. But/and/so/thus/moreover/etc the "thing" feels hollow or dishonest or something. Even an annoying shtick has merit if it's done honestly...
	5:23pm coelacanth∅: Handy i've wondered how many wfmu show hosts i've walked by up here, not knowing what they look like. ...maybe even we have walked by each-other!
	5:24pm Handy Haversack: We'd have noticed each other's shirt, coela!
	5:25pm coelacanth∅: -then you definitely would've walked by me!
	5:25pm fred: @Handy: especially if you're wearing the "trust us it's music" one
	5:25pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Prof. Booty @5:23 Ha, Prof. Booty, that last phrase of yours could definitely go on a WFMU T-shirt!
	5:25pm slugluv1313: ↳ chresti @5:20 same here! and i never would have guessed that anyone would know/remember Pavlov's Dog!
	5:26pm Destroit: ↳ Prof. Booty @5:23 4th that.
	5:28pm listener 126464: ↳ listener 126464 @5:14 Oh, I didn't know this was recent. Thought it was ancient.
	👻 5:29pm chresti: ↳ Prof. Booty @5:23 I agree, I always change the channel if someone is talking to hear their own voice
	5:30pm slugluv1313: when out and about, i too will be wearing an FMU shirt -- now that it is cold, i am glad i have the WFMU record bag -- have not run into any DJs, but other fans of the station -- and it is how K8 and Handy found me at Lingua Ignota at Pioneer Works 😺😺
	5:30pm fred: ↳ chresti @5:29 Alvin Lucier gets a pass
	5:30pm Alexandra: Enjoying listening while reading on lunch break 😎
	5:30pm coelacanth∅: chresti then you turn it off fairly frequently!
	5:31pm coelacanth∅: haha fred!
	5:31pm Royvis: I’m So happy to hear you back on the air! Looking forward to hearing the whole show in archive! <3
	5:32pm steveo: Hello Fabio, wonderful to hear you
	👻 5:32pm chresti: ↳ chresti @5:29 Exception would be if its a short show that's really funny.
	5:32pm coelacanth∅: agreed
	👻 5:33pm Susan & Bryan: thank you Fabio! Great show, great year, great life to all.
	5:33pm slugluv1313: ↳ Alexandra @5:30 hi Alexandra! totally loving your book 💜💜💜
	5:33pm Scott67: Not a big chance of FMU Shirt synchronicity in my Aussie city.
	5:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: RIP Vivienne Westwood
	5:34pm Alexandra: Thank you for reading Slug 💜💜🥲
	5:34pm scribble: Beautiful show as always, Fabio. Thank you.
	5:35pm Destroit: ↳ Alexandra @5:30 Perfect reading sounds
	👻 5:35pm chresti: Hi Alexandra!

	4:43pm bobobob: sometimes..The Village People and Springsteen aren't called for
	4:43pm northguineahills: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:38 throw a splash of mezcal on a michelada cubano/juliano for me, danks!
	4:44pm JetBoy of Astoria: I’m enjoying this.
	4:44pm coelacanth∅: the village people are almost never called for!
	4:45pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:44 but they say it takes a village....
	4:45pm slugluv1313: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:30 hiya Handy! K8! Creatures 🐈‍⬛🦮🐶🐈 AMAZING! believe it or not -- i have never been to the Dream House! i need to remedy that 😺😺
	4:46pm northguineahills: ↳ slugluv1313 @4:45 draw drops to the floor at least I've physically been in there (i still have no excuse)
	👻 4:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:35 Thank you. Very nice essay.
	4:47pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: Can’t ANYONE here donate a 1 month vacation to Aruba or cancoon to Scott… PLEASE I’m begging you
	4:48pm nic: love this!!!
	4:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ listener Phillip in the Bronx @4:47 Fabio vs. Scott is a false narrative.
	4:48pm Fabio: @ coelacanth∅: I want to be clear about something here: it wasn't just that "factory noises" were mentioned, there was a specific show in which he went on to talk about something that happened within the station over 35 years ago. this was then used to stroke his own ego, talking nonsense about a "certain dj" who he would not name. this was outrageous and despicable behavior toward a fellow dj. and this is all I will say about it. but hearing that more has been spouted on the air is really ugly stuff and it is unfortunate that someone would be so self absorbed and petty.
	4:49pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: Perfection is Irwin on wednesdays. Fabio on Thursday’s. And Bryce on Friday’s
	4:49pm coelacanth∅: that shit-sounding serius radio had a Bruce Springsteen station. my sister's ex-husband, through various cars (5-6) over the course of over 20 years never didn't have that station on. that's how many people feel about Springsteen.
	4:50pm Handy Haversack: ↳ northguineahills @4:43 You got it! Cheers, O my Strong Ones! Been too long!
	4:51pm mb: Hey there Fabios
	4:52pm Scott67: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:50 Cheers Handy!🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	4:52pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Weather" by "Anne James Chaton & Andy Moor" how did i miss anne james chaton in there, i love him, and his voice is unmistakable!
	4:53pm bobob: listener Phil...I totally agree that's nirvana
	4:54pm coelacanth∅: oh, Fabio...Thank you. i didn't catch all that! yeah it sucks. ...but reminds me of another incident -which was probably recurring -when a certain dj (!) had several guest show hosts on to talk about music and pretend they were authorities. they thoroughly bashed "prog". made me not listen to any of them for at least a decade!
	4:55pm slugluv1313: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:42 only heard "The Wizard" for the first time yesterday (i think? unless it was played on WNEW-FM and i was not aware) -- i kinda liked it? or maybe it was the flashback to early 70s music, vibes, etc. (this was on youtube) -- the fashions! the girls dancing! some doing what looked like some kinda interpretive dance -- ?? and i found an even older song, pre-David Byron -- "Lady in Black," iirc -- also really evocative of those early 70s sounds :)
	4:55pm northguineahills: i first heard gesang der junglinge by sneaking into the uni's music library and putting their needle on the record...(about '97)
	4:57pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:54 i find such talk as unkosher...
	4:58pm Destroit: Hi Fabio, nice to have you back in the lab creating aural ointments. hi gang o commenters!
	4:58pm bobobob plasticland: Stockhausen.... kickin' the CAN..down the street.nice
	4:59pm Handy Haversack: ↳ slugluv1313 @4:45 Hey, slugluv! Maybe we can meet up for a trip there some time!
	4:59pm coelacanth∅: ah,slugluv -demons & wizards, forgot about that one. also good! (and i said "stealin'" when i should've said sweet freedom, where that song appears)
	👻 5:00pm chresti: ↳ Destroit @4:58 Hi Destroit!
	5:01pm slugluv1313: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:59 thanks so much -- that would be freaking awesome!
	5:01pm coelacanth∅: ngh i concur hi Destroit!
	5:02pm listener james from westwood: Sunday noon–three is a mausoleum, where you can hear the same echoes from the past 20 years. If he's stooping to bashing other folks from longer ago than some listeners and even DJs have been alive, the proprietor of that slot has even less in the tank than I thought. For bold, adventurous, inspired radio that keeps pushing the edge instead of huffing its own jockstrap, I go to Strength Through Failure, among MANY others. /rant
	5:02pm timinoak: This song.. sort of a lovely musical version of Miracle Nutrition
	👻 5:02pm chresti: ↳ coelacanth∅ @4:54 Maybe that's why SM Ken decided to have a prog show
	5:03pm fred: ↳ northguineahills @4:52 Chaton had an exhibition nearby this year (pretty good). It was free, but there was a small printer at the front door that gave you a numbered ticket with "I saw it" on top
	👻 5:04pm Bas NL: Karlheinz Stockhausen performed this piece in the NL in 1956 as part of the Gaudeamus Muziekweek i just found.. I know he did work at the Gaudeamus studio.
	5:04pm coelacanth∅: slugluv my tolerance of Byron's singing is limited! but it never used to be. i think because i've heard so many ("metal") imitators since i was into the 'eep back in the day that that style has been worn out for me.
	5:04pm northguineahills: is this where i bring up cornelius cardew's "stockhausen serves imperialism"?
	5:05pm nic: that was is great!!!
	5:05pm northguineahills: ↳ fred @5:03 wow, jealous as per usual!
	5:06pm northguineahills: ↳ bobobob plasticland @4:58 i was going to go w/ a bang on a can reference, but yours works too!
	5:06pm Destroit: Hi Chresti, Hi Coel! Love it when u guygals are in the house!
	5:09pm fred: ↳ northguineahills @5:04 Apparently Stockhausen is also the name of a German catering company. A coworker brought back a paper band from a sandwich as proof (and pics). Funny thing is that it was at a computer music conference. So that Stockhausen at least definitely is available to serve whoever pays
	5:10pm slugluv1313: ↳ chresti @5:02 hi chresti! right?!? and i am totally loving that prog show, as do others -- my guess is that (whether we like it or not!), many of us grew up with "progressive rock" (sez the goofball who is now digging deep into Uriah Heep 😹😹) and as dear Wm. Berger used to say (paraphrasing?): if you don't like what you hear, change the station!
	5:11pm Handy Haversack: Dave Mandl's prog show is a real treat. Monday evenings are such good WFMU.
	5:14pm listener 126464: Bashing DJs. That's nice.
	5:15pm Destroit: Gee i guess i missed some drama?
	5:16pm slugluv1313: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:04 i think i just found Byron annoying? not sure why -- he was theatrical, flamboyant -- like many 70s rockers were! i think it got in the way of my appreciation of his vocal range/ability (& possibly the musicians' talents too)
	5:16pm fred: ↳ fred @5:09 I think I found the site (the logo matches), but my knowledge of German is nil at most: www.stockhausen-spezialitaeten.de
	👻 5:17pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Wearing Quid Frock/The Least Painful Earrings" by... Love this
	👻 5:19pm chresti: ↳ Handy Haversack @5:11 I love Dave Mandl and his show!
	5:19pm coelacanth∅: listener james i agree...bad form to say the least! -and he might've been around when whom he dissed was. 35 years? maybe. it's sad maybe especially for people who remember him then.
	👻 5:20pm chresti: ↳ slugluv1313 @5:10 Hi slugluv! I'm learning so much!
	👻 5:20pm Mick: Thankful for this year-end dose of failure! Thanks for sharing the amazing musics, Fabio.
	5:21pm Handy Haversack: chresti, did I tell you we ran into Daniel Blumin while out and about in Brooklyn on Tuesday evening?
	5:22pm slugluv1313: ↳ Fabio @4:48 ugh Fabio THAT SUCKS! i am so sorry -- i do not listen to that show, but i seriously do not understand the pettiness, hostility, egotism, etc. -- this WFMU! freeform! where DJs can play whatever they want, WITHOUT judgement
	👻 5:23pm chresti: ↳ listener james from westwood @5:02 DJ Jockstrap!
	5:23pm Prof. Booty: listener james - second (third) that; I always feel like maybe I'm wrong about GJ and that the "thing" he does actually stands on its own merits like all the other DJ "things." And I don't even really mind the music, though I find he's more and more talk than music. But/and/so/thus/moreover/etc the "thing" feels hollow or dishonest or something. Even an annoying shtick has merit if it's done honestly...
	5:23pm coelacanth∅: Handy i've wondered how many wfmu show hosts i've walked by up here, not knowing what they look like. ...maybe even we have walked by each-other!
	5:24pm Handy Haversack: We'd have noticed each other's shirt, coela!
	5:25pm coelacanth∅: -then you definitely would've walked by me!
	5:25pm fred: @Handy: especially if you're wearing the "trust us it's music" one
	5:25pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Prof. Booty @5:23 Ha, Prof. Booty, that last phrase of yours could definitely go on a WFMU T-shirt!
	5:25pm slugluv1313: ↳ chresti @5:20 same here! and i never would have guessed that anyone would know/remember Pavlov's Dog!
	5:26pm Destroit: ↳ Prof. Booty @5:23 4th that.
	5:28pm listener 126464: ↳ listener 126464 @5:14 Oh, I didn't know this was recent. Thought it was ancient.
	👻 5:29pm chresti: ↳ Prof. Booty @5:23 I agree, I always change the channel if someone is talking to hear their own voice
	5:30pm slugluv1313: when out and about, i too will be wearing an FMU shirt -- now that it is cold, i am glad i have the WFMU record bag -- have not run into any DJs, but other fans of the station -- and it is how K8 and Handy found me at Lingua Ignota at Pioneer Works 😺😺
	5:30pm fred: ↳ chresti @5:29 Alvin Lucier gets a pass
	5:30pm Alexandra: Enjoying listening while reading on lunch break 😎
	5:30pm coelacanth∅: chresti then you turn it off fairly frequently!
	5:31pm coelacanth∅: haha fred!
	5:31pm Royvis: I’m So happy to hear you back on the air! Looking forward to hearing the whole show in archive! <3
	5:32pm steveo: Hello Fabio, wonderful to hear you
	👻 5:32pm chresti: ↳ chresti @5:29 Exception would be if its a short show that's really funny.
	5:32pm coelacanth∅: agreed
	👻 5:33pm Susan & Bryan: thank you Fabio! Great show, great year, great life to all.
	5:33pm slugluv1313: ↳ Alexandra @5:30 hi Alexandra! totally loving your book 💜💜💜
	5:33pm Scott67: Not a big chance of FMU Shirt synchronicity in my Aussie city.
	5:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: RIP Vivienne Westwood
	5:34pm Alexandra: Thank you for reading Slug 💜💜🥲
	5:34pm scribble: Beautiful show as always, Fabio. Thank you.
	5:35pm Destroit: ↳ Alexandra @5:30 Perfect reading sounds
	👻 5:35pm chresti: Hi Alexandra!
	5:35pm coelacanth∅: by the way Alexandra please don't assume that i don't want to read your book! it can't happen now, that's all.
	5:35pm slugluv1313: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @5:34 ugh i had not heard -- another huge loss
	5:36pm Destroit: ↳ Scott67 @5:33 Start a trend Scott! It all starts with YOU! 🙂
	5:36pm slugluv1313: ↳ Alexandra @5:34 thank you for creating and putting it together! 😻😻😻
	5:37pm coelacanth∅: maybe we should all relocate to oz
	5:37pm Destroit: ↳ slugluv1313 @5:36 What book is this you speak of?
	👻 5:38pm Ken From Hyde Park: Let your weird light shine bright so that other weirdos may find you.
	5:38pm Scott67: ↳ Destroit @5:36 Wearing them as much as a can mate! 🌏🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	5:39pm Fredericks: Heigh Ho, Fabio!
	5:39pm Alexandra: Hi Chresti, Coel, and all other homies! Coel—no worries. Getting that from a few people 💜 Destroit, my first poetry collection is out now: alexandramartinez.bandcamp.com has the full synopsis 💜
	5:40pm Scott67: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:37 Get down here coel.🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	5:40pm slugluv1313: ↳ Destroit @5:37 Alexanda's "Heartbreaker" -- it is exquisite: alexandramartinez.bandcamp.com...
	5:41pm coelacanth∅: Scott i don't think they'd have me
	5:41pm Alexandra: Couple of years ago I was at a hip restaurant out in Joshua Tree feeling totally grimy and ugly from hiking and some dude was like love your WFMU shirt— made me feel better 😎
	5:41pm StringOFperils: Hi Fabio, and failing pillars of strength everywhere.
	5:42pm northguineahills: ↳ Destroit @5:37 @Destroit: I highly recommend it (i have a copy)
	5:43pm coelacanth∅: hey StringO ...Alex sometime grimy is when we're prettiest!
	5:43pm Handy Haversack: ↳ northguineahills @5:42 1000 percent agreed. This is the rare book that makes me still like poetry.
	5:44pm Scott67: ↳ coelacanth∅ @5:41 They haven't chucked me out yet. So reckon you'd be right mate.
	5:44pm northguineahills: ↳ fred @5:09 don't forget the dj Klaus Stockhausen...
	5:46pm northguineahills: ↳ Scott67 @5:33 if one of the guys coming through the shelter recognizes wfmu from my shirt, anything is possible anywhere...
	5:47pm Alexandra: NGH and HH 💜💜💜💎💎💎 Coel, that’s a good point…
	5:48pm PaulRobeson1922: Fat little babies
	5:48pm Destroit: Oh wow, thanks Alexandra and friends. Looks heavy, but interesting indeed. Heavy stuff always makin me cry these days but i dont view that as a bad thing necessarily.
	5:50pm northguineahills: ↳ Alexandra @5:47 holas y woohoos, alex!
	👻 5:51pm chresti: Alexandra I may take your book with me when I go up north to see my Dad (if I can find were Franco put it)
	5:52pm Destroit: Damnit Franco!
	5:52pm listener james from westwood: Kraftwerk!
	5:53pm Alexandra: Tears are main component of my skincare routine Destroit 😎
	5:53pm pot8o: thanks Fabio! happy new year everyone!
	5:53pm Crimsonwolf: Das ist gut!
	5:53pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Alexandra @5:47 Alex, if we ever get to hang out in person, I'll share tales of the NYC poetry mafia with you. Many thanks, Fabio! So good to have you back on the air. Really capped off an excellent afternoon with the perfect note. And non-notes. Be well, Failsafes. I've never felt stronger.
	5:53pm fred: ↳ chresti @5:51 "if I can find were Franco put it", about a book? Sounds daunting
	5:53pm Alexandra: Love to you and your dad Chresti 💜
	5:53pm northguineahills: ↳ Destroit @5:48 "...cry".... it will....
