	3:12pm listener phillip (in the bronx): I am sorry to say the omicron variant got me on new years eve. I'm still battling a 100.1 fever
	3:12pm Miss G: Failing at staying alert after unexpectedly being up since 5 AM! These tunez will carry me! "A Some Kind of Something" New Year to you all! waves (preemptively, no, neither I nor anyone I knew was stuck on I95, thank goodness!) (for 12 minutes I kept hearing another band play and I thought that Pseu had "gone over." Only to realize something else was on. sigh)
	👻 3:12pm royvis: ¡Good afternoon Fabio and everybuddy!
	3:15pm Ike (slightly evil variant): Does anyone ever have the slightly evil thought, “Thst must be a parody account! There’s no way that’s real.” If you’re here all the time, you know what I’m talking about. Apologies for the evil.
	3:15pm HyperDose: Hey chresti, tim, RRN63, David, Carm. Sorry to hear, Phillip. But glad you're hear with us! :)
	👻 3:17pm chresti: Hey HyperD!
	👻 3:18pm Bruce S.: @ David in London Thank you so much for your extraordinary piece on Silver Applesand the Simon Coxe Interview.I haven't been excited by a piece of music journalism in so long I'd forgotten what thats like. we are surrounded by so much bullshit, that when you get a gem of truth you must really appreciate it. You really convey the excitment and gravity of that night at corsica studios, the Historical importance of the show. The wonderful interview with Simon Coxe gives real insight intoSilver Apples and were they were coming from in the Sixties. Simon Said he considered Silver Apples a Rock and Roll Band with a new and different sound,and it says so much about the music scene at that time that they were hoping for mainstream success.
	3:18pm Scott67: Mesmerizing! G'day Fabio & Fabulous! 👍😎👣🎶📻🌞🌏
	3:18pm Cal in Dothan: Just got my positive result Phil… underestimated the anxiety that came along with
	3:19pm tim from washington: Hello HyperDose! Hello pals, dudettes, chums and amigos!
	3:19pm Cal in Dothan: Happy to be here Fabs and failers! Silver lining this show is in the foreground for a change
	3:19pm Hubig Pie: DiL, dear me , I guess there will be no pickled onions to serve with our jellied eel snacklets
	👻 3:20pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: you know today's gonna be filled with heaters when we're starting off with la monte young
	3:21pm tim from washington: I'm reading Jack Gilbert during my lunch break. These sounds pair quite nicely.
	3:22pm Handy Haversack: Fabio and Fasilsafes! My strength training today has been going the extra fail mile. I shall be stronger than all that has come before. These sounds made that last 20-min. work meeting bearable! Glad to be here.
	3:22pm David (in London): Bruce, gosh, thank you so much, that's very kind of you. I'm so glad that you liked it, I really am. Reverend, Tim, Chrestikins, Rev D. Hubig, Scotty, Miss G, HyperDose, Carmichael et al. Hello. It really is standing room only in here tonight. So many prime quality groovers.
	3:23pm Handy Haversack: These onions are nice and crunchy, David!
	👻 3:23pm Bruce S.: Their sound is always otherworldly with lyricsappropriatly abstract and somewhat esoteric, and all their albums are classic including the later stuff. I kind of wish Simon had stated that the station Danny Taylor was listening to was WFMU and the DJ was Fabio. I am so glad we have a document clarifying their place in music history. thank you so much
	👻 3:25pm Bas NL: Hi Fabio! Hi Failbulosas!
	3:25pm listener phillip (in the bronx): For the life of me I cant shake this fever 100.1 I'm on my second bottle of tylenol
	3:25pm Ike (regular flavor): Love the sounds!
	3:26pm TDK60: Hi Fabio. busy in the studio. / David in London, Bruce S., where can I find that article?
	👻 3:26pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: some of my favorite clips from LMY features i've read: "In the early ‘60s, La Monte played with John Cale and Tony Conrad. They’d tune their instruments to the 120hz hum of the aquarium motor for La Monte and Mariam’s pet turtles."
	👻 3:27pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: Young isn’t interested in temporal popularity; he believes his music will be exalted, because it leads toward enlightenment. “People have written that I’m the most influential composer in the last 50 years, and I think that’s true,” he says. “What’s more, when I die, people will say, ‘He was the most important composer since the beginning of music.’ It’s not just a work of genius — I did things no one ever dreamed of and I set up an approach to sound that parallels universal structure.” “La Monte isn’t known for his modesty,” chuckles Rhys Chatham, who studied with Young and is best known for writing minimalist guitar assaults. He recalls La Monte saying, “If one invents fire, why should one be modest about it?”
	3:27pm David (in London): Bruce, I love the idea of Simeon presenting local news in Alabama in the 70s. And kids buying their ice cream from him. What a life. Hey Handy, Bas, TDK. TDK, I'll dig out the links for you.
	👻 3:27pm Bruce S.: @ david in London you haven't been around in a while but I really felt Strongly about your work and really wanted to tell you
	3:28pm David (in London): I'm genuinely touched by that Bruce, thank you.
	3:29pm Miss G: Maybe it's à propos if I mention that I just finished a book from 2018 (I began it then, but I sent it to a friend in Europa) "The Downtown Pop Underground: New York City and the Literary Punks, Renegade Artists, DIY Filmmakers, Mad Playwrights, and Rock 'n' Roll Glitter Queens who Revolutionized Culture" by Kembrew McLeod. It has all kinds of stories, stuff I thought I knew about, but I learned way a lot more! Highly recommended.
	3:29pm Scott67: G'day David, these pickled onions are prickly. Is that blood??👄👅
	👻 3:30pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Hey Fabio, fellow failures. Working late tonight as it's been one interruption after another...trying to get into a work groove.
	👻 3:30pm Bruce S.: I started Listening to Silver Apples around the same time I started Listening to 13th Floor Elevators and Both Bands Hold a special place in my Psyche
	👻 3:32pm Bruce S.: OK now you can move on David
	3:33pm Handy Haversack: La Monte Young was in the VU doc fairly often, right?
	3:33pm Miss G: It's kind of amazing, the kind of music your mind makes up, and the things your inner eye sees, during La Monte Young
	3:33pm tim from washington: The first music my daughter responded to was 13th Floor's 'You're gonna Miss Me' when she was 6 months old. When the song came on she started bouncing up and down and flapping her arms. I figured that that's about the best way to listen to Roky Erikson.
	3:34pm David (in London): TDK, An interview with Silver Apples here: freq.org.uk... Review of live show from 2014 here: freq.org.uk...
	3:35pm tim from washington: That looks like a cool book, Miss G. Right up my alley.
	3:36pm upstatesean: Yo Fab i O, what is Up.
	3:36pm Kevin-san: Pickled Onion Failures are the best! HNY David!
	3:37pm Handy Haversack: By the way, Fabio, the turntable works like a charm, and Bagpipe is learning how to be patient at record stores! We'll bring him back to see you soon.
	3:37pm tom tom the pipers son: i kinda see this la monte young as a new year track. i wonder if fabio intends it that way
	3:38pm upstatesean: Love hearing this failure music
	3:38pm Miss G: tim from washington, the author is an academic, but a younger cooler one, and he has an overview which is great, it's an arts overview, and not some kind of "blinders on" view of what is p**k or not, which was so irritating at the time.
	3:39pm Mister Dobalina: This sounds are where it's at !!
	3:40pm upstatesean: Wait, just remembered Fabio doesn’t tend to the nonsense going on in the chat. Greetings fellow Failures.
	3:41pm David (in London): Hey Kevin! Happy new thing to you, too my friend! How are you?
	3:41pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Wikipedia says John Cale (! VU guy, THAT John Cale??) was involved with La Monte Young!
	3:41pm TDK60: Thanks David! I recall as a teen when the 1st S.A. LP was new. A friend had the LP. I was almost scared by the machine-like futuristic sounds! Ha! Then, I was memerized, got the LP.
	👻 3:43pm chris in the redwoods: <picks up onion, wipes off dust and glass, pops in mouth> greetings, Fabio and fellow failure aficionados.
	👻 3:43pm chresti: Hello, David in Londonkins.
	3:44pm TDK60: [s]
	3:44pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: John Cale: Velvet Underground as John Paul Jones: Led Zeppelin. Ummm that La Monte Young was...<cough cough> an "import" < cough cough>??
	3:44pm mike 446: WFMU rules!
	3:44pm Mister Dobalina: Congratulations, here's to much more.
	3:45pm mike 446: 1986 was the year short circuit the robot movie came out. Great year
	👻 3:45pm chresti: Happy anniversary, Fabio!
	3:45pm tim from washington: Damn! Congrats on 36 years on the radio Fabio! Looking forward to the next 36 years!
	3:45pm Mister Dobalina: & the year, last year the Mets won the world series. Ughh.
	3:46pm Kevin-san: chinks two jars of pickled onions together in celebration
	3:46pm Handy Haversack: Yay, Fabio! Very glad you're still at it!
	3:46pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Thanks for all the music Fabio! I was listening in a 1979 chevy nova in a hay field to this "really cool radio station" my buddy told me about whilst smoking weed. It was the 80's, there was probably michelob also....
	👻 3:46pm Bas NL: You are a cornerstone and a linchpin of WFMU Fabio.
	3:46pm upstatesean: Pretty sure that was before fmu ran Upsala College in to Chapter 11 😀
	3:46pm Miss G: Auguri DJ Fabio. The balsamic vinegar of WFMU DJs.
	3:47pm Guy Walker: Happy New Year to you both good to hear your voice today.
	3:47pm Megaroni: Happy New Year Fabio! Thank you for your service and being so cool
	👻 3:47pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: i want to know if Fabio saw MEMORIA last week at IFC Center
	3:47pm steveo: Could you read that title again? But seriously, 3 hours of that drone would be fine with me.
	3:47pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Hey bas, back in the 80's did you ever design a treadmill with tractor treads you run on in the road at SU?
	3:47pm TDK60: Happy anniversary of having to go to NJ weekly.
	👻 3:47pm Bruce S.: Fabio, you were ahead of your time back then and your still ahead of your time now, though the Cretins are definitly at the Gates
	3:47pm Kevin-san: @David 3:41 Doing fine here mate, I hope you are surviving/thriving
	3:48pm lazy pierogi: fee fi fo fun! this album is SO good. listened to it twice earlier this afternoon after hearing this track on SW’s show yesterday. a masterpiece!
	👻 3:48pm Rev. Turnip Druid: DIG.
	👻 3:49pm Bas NL: Scott Williams had this on yesterday too.. love this.
	3:50pm Cal in Dothan: Cheers Fabio!
	3:50pm David (in London): This is our in fright entertainment, I'll get my coat.
	3:51pm Handy Haversack: And Control yourself, David!
	3:51pm Mister Dobalina: Don't miss the Kurt Russell retrospective at Metrograph. Though his seminal, early works will not be shown, it will definitely be a good time.
	3:52pm David (in London): If I was only ever to be able to see The Thing and Big Trouble in Little China for the rest of my life, I really wouldn't mind.
	3:53pm Handy Haversack: The Thing is excellent, excellent work. It can't be easy to have second billing to a bottle of J&B and help it save the world, but Russell does it like he was born for the role.
	👻 3:53pm Bruce S.: Used Cars was Excellent too
	3:56pm PaulRobeson1920: Hii all! Nice sounds
	3:59pm Mister Dobalina: I'm going to check out The Best of Times Kurt and Robin Williams.
	4:00pm Mister Dobalina: *with Kurt....
	4:00pm Handy Haversack: Greenpoint's own David Watson!
	4:00pm Mike W.: Alastair is a product of heaven and earth magic
	4:02pm mike 446: Killin it
	4:03pm mike 446: This is why I bought a WFMU shirt this sound scape
	4:03pm tim from washington: @Bruce S - Used Cars is indeed excellent! And I'm continuing the excellent agreements to Handy and The Thing.
	4:04pm mike 446: Genie ass
	👻 4:05pm Bruce S.: I would agree Big Trouble in Little China.....Also Excellent
	4:06pm Peter from Dover NJ: If there's a bright side to covid, I can stay home from work to listen to Strength thru Failure.
	👻 4:07pm Bruce S.: speaking of Excellent, Todays show is super cool
	4:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Looking @ the young KimCattrall is OK with me I guess.
	4:08pm mike 446: I gotta go to work, I’ll be listening. Thanks for radio no one else will do!
	4:10pm Fabio: @ Mike 446: Which "Robot Movie" are you referring to?
	4:12pm Fabio: @ Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: Yes, I did see Memoria at IFC! were you there?
	👻 4:18pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: i went on the 30th. just occurred to me that, especially from an audio standpoint, Memoria is definitely Strength Through Failure-core. i really enjoyed it.
	👻 4:18pm Bas NL: @Wild Neil re @3:47 Haaa.. mmmm... no, i don't think i did. Sounds way cool though!
	4:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Truly appreciating the FMUs & the Failure this afternoon. I could use a new spine - so gonna do the rest from the tub...
	4:28pm HyperDose: Don't forget the snorkel, RRN63. Good to see ya!
	4:28pm βrian: My habib'ti is interviewing, so I have to turn off the radio to preserve bandwidth. Now, there is only the playlist.
	👻 4:30pm Rev. Turnip Druid: well that was a lovely bit of thing.
	👻 4:30pm royvis: That set worked well with my lasers through textured glass after-work fun.
	4:31pm Miss G: A very Happy New Year to you RRN63 wishing you all the best.
	👻 4:32pm Bruce S.: Rev Rab 63 Happy and Healthy New Year!!
	4:33pm dario: great stuff from toro will be looking him up thanks
	4:36pm Miss G: Oh! Paolo Sorrentino! I was not aware, I'm so out of it, thank you!
	4:36pm dale: hey now fablio and his adherents. been listening but just sitting down with a libation now.
	4:36pm Handy Haversack: Hand of God ... set in Naples ... but not about Maradona?
	4:37pm disco_nap_: Benedetta rules!!
	4:38pm Shelf life: Love Napoli! Saw Licorice Pizza and hated it. Gotta remember to never see another Paul T. Anderson movie.
	4:38pm David (in London): I went through some of the Clockwork Orange boxes in the Kubrick Archive. By some, I mean a dozen of hundreds. It was utterly mind-blowing.
	4:40pm listener james from westwood: Does it get better than seeing Escape from New York in NYC?
	4:40pm Lixiviated Life: hello failure people !
	4:40pm The Oscar: Afternoon! I'm a member of my local film critic's circle and got a screener DVD of Memoria, but I didn't feel right watching it on my TV so I rented a private screening room at my local video store! Really cool movie-- I will definitely need to see it again when it plays proper near me.
	4:40pm Miss G: Well that Spanish docu looks like a must (Clockwork) I'm so tired I will recommend this article in Spanish, you have to do a translation. The gorgeous and talented Marisol was a child actress then fabulous singer then married to the great Antonio Gades, but she went through a lot and it is totes political: www-revistavanityfair-es.translate.goog...
	👻 4:40pm Bruce S.: Lee Van Cleef also
	4:41pm Lixiviated Life: My favorite line from Amacord is: "VOGLIO UNA DONNA"
	4:41pm nadalex: SNAKE PLISSKEN!!! What? Thanks for letting us know, Fabio
	👻 4:42pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: please no PTA slander in the chat, he's arguably the best active filmmaker
	4:43pm Miss G: Well David in London, as The Continental said (sorry, maybe this is a US ref) Wowie Wow Wow re: Kubrick!
	👻 4:44pm Bruce S.: Funeral for Queen Mary from Clockwork Orange is an Extraordinary Piece of Music
	4:44pm Miss G: The Oscar you are a mensch, bravo to you.
	4:46pm Handy Haversack: I missed a bit talking to K8 (like a selfish jerk!). Is "A Forbidden Orange" the documentary we're talking about?
	4:46pm ChukAmok: BBQJA: That doesn't read like slander to me, just someone's opinion, which is subjective. I have my thoughts (both good and bad) about P.T.A., but they are varied, nuanced, and way too much to try to explain in a comments board setting.
	4:46pm David (in London): Miss G. There's too much to say here but two key things [a] all the stories about him are true and [b] he had the internet in the 70s, not an online digital one, but a vast analogue paper one of his own creation.
	4:49pm Miss G: This great track (mesmerizing as it is, I think I know it?) makes me say, that some of you might be in quarantine as I was recently, and need something in the home and free. So, rarefilmm has this rarefilmm.com... BBC one hour docu I loved it on Joe Meek
	4:50pm listener james from westwood: @Bruce S. Always dig hearing Wendy Carlos's work on that heading up Julie's show on the Drummer Stream each Tuesday.
	👻 4:53pm Bruce S.: Thanks for the Heads up listener james from westwood, now that I think of it the whole A Clockwork Orange soundtrack is Amazeing
	👻 4:54pm Bruce S.: Kubrick always used great music in his films
	4:54pm listener james from westwood: I think it only left my college-era Walkman for Kraftwerk and Gary Numan for a goodly stretch.
	4:54pm tom tom the pipers son: @david in london....remember seeing a kubrick doc where the showed he had quite the yen for ryman's stationary shops
	4:55pm Miss G: Handy yes, to my stupid tired ears? A Forbidden Orange Original title: La naranja prohibida I would LOVE to see that
	👻 4:56pm Bruce S.: Yes ljfw, I think we can say that soundtrack was seminal
	4:57pm listener james from westwood: The Godfather also turns 50 this year. Would dearly love to see that in the theaters. I was a touch young first time around. But I do remember my relatives doing their Don Corleone voices when addressing my actual godfather after the film's release.
	4:57pm dale: assuming not philip johnson the architect
	4:57pm Shelf life: @Buffalo Bills--did you see Licorice Pizza? Sorry, I loved Boogie Nights and really liked Magnolia, but this one just didn't seem to have any real guts, the story seemed fake and not from the heart, which can be okay, but it seemed like all style, no substance (and his style isn't that remarkable), and not fun or enjoyable. Seems like he is making movies for an audience of 1--himself. I wonder how he gets financing.
	4:59pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Miss G!
	👻 4:59pm Bruce S.: I saw the Godfather in the Theater when it came out and I got a special program with lots of cool pix from the movie
	4:59pm dale: i could do without some of my relationships.
	👻 5:00pm Bruce S.: I think I was 12
	👻 5:00pm Rev. Turnip Druid: very much behind the message here.
	5:00pm Miss G: Ah, Gen Ken for the New Year. Yes! Everything new. I got to move from this stupid apartment and this stupid town.
	5:01pm Shelf life: I get the impression that PTA just isn't that deep, like let's say a Fellini, that or else he just can't convey it in a movie, but it is like he is trying to present something deep in this movie but it's not deep at all
	5:02pm Red: I have to say I don’t recognize many of these numbers your playing. I enjoy your deep-voiced announcing. Would it hurt to play some Savoy Brown or Dan Fogelberg now and then? Some of us gain comfort from old tunes we recall from the past. Don’t mind me. I’m set in my ways. Your station is the only one I can pick up here in Carlstadt. I’m hunkered waiting for the snow with a bag of burgers and coffee.
	5:04pm Jeanne: Bon voyage GenKen!! We love you!
	5:04pm Miss G: Get the F out! Where the hell are we all supposed to go?! (OK I'll stop)
	5:04pm Shelf life: I'm gonna stop now but I thought Licorice Pizza was totally stupid and not successful as a comedy or piece of entertainment or story. Empty piece of crap and a waste of money
	5:05pm tim from washington: Nooooooo!
	👻 5:06pm Jason from Houston: NOOOOOOOO
	5:06pm disco_nap_: The Last Picture Show is one of my all time favorite films and I just found out Bogdanovich's wife at the time, Polly Platt, came up with the idea to adapt the novel in the first place and really made it what it was. www.currentaffairs.org...
	👻 5:06pm Jason from Houston: Yeah... The Last Picture Show is gold.
	5:07pm Red: There hasn’t been a really good movie since Duel, if you ask me.
	👻 5:07pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: @ShelfLife i guess that depends on what you consider deep, but IMO all of his movies are either good or great. i have not seen Licorice Pizza tho. Magnolia is one of my favorite films ever
	👻 5:07pm Bruce S.: Targets is kind of a Classic
	5:08pm Miss G: Yeah I learned from Krys O in a previous show re: Bogdanovich. I will say, that he stood by and promoted My Main Man, Orson Welles (I couldn't believe Dana Spiotta entered my brain and wrote the novel "Innocents and Others.") RIP to a complicated guy.
	5:08pm Shelf life: BTW, I think this movie is meant to be a comedy but my criticism holds for a few of his movies, like he's trying to be deep but it ain't working. This and his last movie aren't even successfully atmospheric
	👻 5:08pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: @shefllife all of his movies have some element of humor IMO
	5:08pm Handy Haversack: Cheers, Failsafes. Workday over, drinks mixed. Glad to be hearing these sounds with such fine strong folx.
	5:09pm Shelf life: I love where ur coming from, Red
	5:09pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Magnolia was quite a spellbinder.
	👻 5:09pm Jason from Houston: I wonder if it was her idea for Peter to hook up with Cybil Shepherd...
	5:09pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Is this Gen Ken the guy who owned the Generator store back in the 80's or 90's?
	5:09pm David (in London): Red, surely you're overlooking Stop or My Mom Will Shoot III..?
	5:09pm PaulRobeson1920: @Lixivated Life: Hii! I’m curious, what’s cookin for dinner?
	5:10pm Shelf life: Bill, I agree that all of his movies have some element of humor. I'd love to hear your thoughts on Licorice Pizza
	5:10pm Juli: :Looking for a thrill: Found a garden of sound
	5:11pm Red: Never saw that one. Throw Momma From The Train was pretty good. I’m more of a TV guy.
	5:11pm PaulRobeson1920: “ I got thrill pills for all the little chickies & I got funny cigarettes for all you boys”
	5:12pm nic: love this!!!
	5:13pm dale: this tune is making my tinnitus go berserk.
	5:13pm Shelf life: Maybe PTA should start finding good scripts cuz he doesn't seem to have much to say
	5:14pm tim from washington: I didn't realize Bogdanovich did Mask. I think Cher's a great actor. Like Sinatra, I like Cher's acting much better than her music. Sonny and Cher is great though.
	5:15pm Ochre Ogre: Ciao Fabio. Indeed, The Last Picture Show Ellen Burstyn, Jeff Bridges... excellent script, in beautiful b&w!
	👻 5:16pm Bruce S.: @ tim from washington agree about Mask excellent Movie The whole cast was really great
	5:16pm Miss G: tim from washington, I just watched Cher in "Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean" (which, I had NO IDEA what the plot was, I thought it was going to be like "Steel Magnolias.") Cher was so great. I particularly loved her in "Silkwood." I rode the elevator with her once. Yes, she is indeed tiny. But so much charisma!
	👻 5:16pm chresti: Dale, turn it up?
	👻 5:16pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: never seen a PTA film i didn't like!
	5:18pm Red: Cher should have stuck with Gregg Almond in my estimation.
	👻 5:19pm Bruce S.: I wonder what Elijah Blue is doing now
	5:20pm tim from washington: @Miss G - that's a great one! Other Cher movie I really like is Moonstruck.
	5:20pm Red: Roadie’n for that Trucks kid, probably.
	5:20pm dale: chresti - if you ever ride a motorcycle, wear ear plugs.
	👻 5:21pm Ken From Hyde Park: Good afternoon, Fabio and extra-strength formulas!
	5:21pm Miss G: tim from washington, for a few reasons, I'm not ashamed to say I also love Moonstruck. <G>
	👻 5:22pm Rev. Turnip Druid: KUUUUUUUUU-PUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuu......
	👻 5:22pm Bruce S.: Elijah Blue A Roadie, that makes sence somehow
	5:22pm Red: Dennis Weaver made Duel good. That and that trucker where all you could see was his arm.
	👻 5:23pm chresti: I saw Cher perform her Vegas act in Monte Carlo, she did a whole bit about how messed up Gregg was, with a slide show.
	👻 5:23pm Rev. Turnip Druid: seconding the earplugs für moto
	5:23pm nic: love this!!!
	5:23pm tim from washington: I liked Bogdanovich's acting too. Especially as Dr Melfi's shrink in the Sopranos.
	5:23pm Carmichael: Maximum Overdrive. Almost as silly as Big Trouble ...
	5:24pm Red: Gotta be messed up to sing that good.
	5:24pm Miss G: chresti, oh dear. I do not like the "kiss and tell" genre. Yes tim from washington, B. was very great in The Sopranos.
	5:27pm Ochre Ogre: Good one, was about to mention Moonstruck, seemed like Cher wasn't even acting, so genuine.
	👻 5:28pm chresti: I think the song she sang with it was "too far gone" aside from that, it was a great show with really good dancers @Miss G Dale, also good to drive on the freeway with the windows up.
	5:28pm dale: other star of duel was the rental plymouth valiant he beat the shite out of.
	5:30pm Red: That red car Weaver drove? Loved that thing. Like an old Dodge Dart or something. I’m going to rent it again.
	5:31pm dale: chresti, i had a jeep wrangler with a soft top for 14 years. THAT was torture on your ears above 50mph.
	5:32pm Red: My brother had a Valiant he bought in Paterson. 318 Mopar. He wrapped it around a light pole one 4th of July. He was OK though.
	5:33pm Shelf life: I thought maybe Red was Clay P....
	👻 5:35pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: i wanna know what @Red think of this song
	5:36pm Fabio: Re PTA: Magnolia, Boogie Nights, Hard Eight, Punch-Drunk Love and what I consider to be his masterpiece - Inherent Vice are all excellent films. Though not as strong, I most definitely enjoyed Licorice Pizza, It's a sweet coming of age film.
	5:36pm Red: This song sounds like an un-oiled teeter-totter.
	5:38pm Red: It did for a bit anyway. Now it sounds like my Kelvinator freezer humming in the basement.
	👻 5:38pm chris in the redwoods: Punch-Drunk Love is an amazing film; highly recommend!
	5:39pm wilbur: Great show Fabio...seems like cinephobe.tv is down for the count these daze. there was a doc a few years back about an actor ( from Barry Lyndon) who became Kubrick's assistant on subsequent films...did you see it? enjoy the SNOW!!
	5:40pm Red: I like Bill Anderson and Pam.
	5:40pm Peter from Dover NJ: Thanks for a great program, Fabio.
	5:40pm Jon: Did someone already mention “There Will Be Blood”?
	5:41pm Pidge: Love you, Fab! You are the BEST!
	5:42pm Miss G: LOL getting such a chuckle, nay, laughing so hard: No, ya don't like so much, the precious Wes A? I'm shocked. ..SHOCKED! (natürlich, I adore him, but I didn't see the recent as I was hoping for theater)
	5:43pm Miss G: Oh look at the time, re: that virus: listener phillip, Peter from Dover NJ, I'm so sorry re: your illness. 2/3 my young family members had breakthru covid these past days/holidays and also many of their friends here in VA. Not easy, like bad flu for 4-5 days. "Courage" as they say in French. Drink lots of water.
	👻 5:44pm Bruce S.: Royal Tennenbaums is one of my favorite films and Rushmore was good But I don't really go for his other films that much
	5:45pm tim from washington: I'm in the PTA club. I've loved everything he's done. His films hold up to repeated viewings. I'm excited to see Licorice Pizza. Wes Anderson, I've given up on. Too much of the same schtick for me. I like really like Wes A up to Fantastic Mr Fox, then it's diminishing returns for me.
	5:45pm listener phillip (in the bronx): WOW where did the time go!! I was enjoying the sounds
	5:45pm dale: darjeeling limited was worth it for the scenery.
	5:45pm Red: Is this Mark Farner?
	5:46pm Peter from Dover NJ: @Miss G 5:43 thank you kindly. I'm triple vaxxed, I wear a mask everywhere, and it still got me. Omicron is no joke. Be careful out there, everyone.
	5:46pm Jon: Bruce, I’m with you, it instead of Royal T.’s I LOVE The Life Aquatic. One of my favorite movies ever.
	👻 5:47pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: Royal Tenenbaums is a total masterpiece. i dont get a lot of other Wes films tho, but i appreciate him.
	👻 5:47pm chris in the redwoods: still in the WA fan-club... mostly... diminishing returns does strike a chord, but Life Aquatic... oh man.
	5:47pm Miss G: Red, just for you, I will tell you that a formative experience for me was sitting on a bunch of hay bales at the 4H fair, where I slept overnight with my goats, and listened to "An American Band" and I said, "I'm going to get out of this town and I'm going to party it down with the band" . . .and I did.
	5:48pm Handy Haversack: I only liked Rushmore. But I loved Rushmore. It was my Rushmore.
	5:48pm Ochre Ogre: Has anyone heard a reference to the just released "Nightmare Ally' as a remake of the 1947 film noir feature with Tyrone Power and Joan Blondell?
	👻 5:48pm Bruce S.: Yeah I forgot about Life Aquatic, I liked that too
	5:49pm Red: You partied with Grand Funk!
	5:50pm tim from washington: @Ochre - yes, the latest from Guillermo del Toro. I'm curious.
	👻 5:50pm Bruce S.: Ochre Ogre the commercial for it looks really great
	5:50pm Miss G: PS Red sorry, I got so excited I didn't say it properly. I was listening on a Panasonic Fruit Loop radio to the AM. And, no, of course I did not get down with Grand Funk. But, one day, I did "party with the band." That was a very great song, for some of us girls.
	5:50pm common: Enjoying the sounds Fabio. Thanks
	5:51pm Handy Haversack: Miss G, were the goats OK? Fabio! Wonderful show. Thank you as always, and happy radioversary again. Really grateful for your work. Many thanks. Be well, friends! Keep on partying with Grand Funk in whatever manner holds significance in your hearts! We shall be strong!
	5:52pm Red: I partied with 38 Special one night.
	👻 5:52pm Bruce S.: Red, did you go for Asleep at the Wheel?
	5:53pm Analog Nights: Licorice Pizza is the movie WA wants to make but can't.
	5:53pm Miss G: Handy, I not only won "Best of Show" for my goat Mandy, but I won a prize for knowing all the parts of the goat (as opposed to the other kids who _knew_ goats, whereas I just memorized it) and I won Best of Show for a skirt I had sewn. Yes, that county fair was insane but great.
	5:53pm TDK60: Gracias, Fabio.
	👻 5:54pm chresti: Awesome, a goat skirt?
	👻 5:54pm Rev. Turnip Druid: YEY THIS
	5:54pm Ochre Ogre: The original release of Nightmare Alley is quite good.
	5:54pm cosmic matrix: been here for a little while. great sounds!! thanks fabio

	5:55pm Mister Dobalina: Good stuff as always, Fabio. Fabio 2022 & beyond!
	5:55pm Red: Bruce. No, but my brother fell asleep at the wheel on his way to work last year and ran his Nova into a ditch. He was OK but totaled the car. He drives a little Chevy Luv now. Works in Mahwah.
	👻 5:55pm Bas NL: Peripeteia is on my list now irisarri.bandcamp.com...
	👻 5:55pm chris in the redwoods: congrats on 36, Fabio. Failure to give up. Love it and loved the show once again. Cheers!

	5:57pm cosmic matrix: never heard this one before! my new favorite song. wow
	5:57pm Shelf life: Great show, Fabio, thanks! I'm wondering if you've seen Licorice Pizza. I was surprised at my virulent dislike of it....
	👻 5:57pm Bas NL: Happy 36th Fabio! And an exemplary show again today! Thanks!
	5:57pm Ochre Ogre: Grazie Fabio!
	5:57pm dale: now it sounds like the carney from your funeral my trial

Listener comments!
	3:05pm Carmichael: Mr. Giant dude ...
	3:05pm tim from washington: Fabio! Buon anno!
	👻 3:05pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: LMY!?!?!
	3:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...let's Fail this schizzle up...
	3:06pm David (in London): sweeps in to the Lounge of Failure, trips on the edge of the carpet, drops a large jar of pickled onions, glass smashes, vinegar and onions everywhere Evening groovers!
	👻 3:07pm Bruce S.: In the Palm of Giant man's hand
	3:09pm listener james from westwood: Good 2022, Fabio and fellow Failure fans!
	👻 3:09pm Rev. Turnip Druid: my cloaca runneth over
	3:11pm listener phillip (in the bronx): So glad to hear you again @fabio
	3:11pm HyperDose: Ready to melt into the ether with you, Fab! 📻🎩
	👻 3:11pm chresti: Hello mighty Fabio and strong ones!
	3:12pm Shelf life: digging this tremendously
	3:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Blessed Epiphany - Day of the Three Wise Men - birthday of Alan Watts & John C. Lilly same day in 1915 ...& Syd Barrett in 1946.
	3:12pm listener phillip (in the bronx): I am sorry to say the omicron variant got me on new years eve. I'm still battling a 100.1 fever
	3:12pm Miss G: Failing at staying alert after unexpectedly being up since 5 AM! These tunez will carry me! "A Some Kind of Something" New Year to you all! waves (preemptively, no, neither I nor anyone I knew was stuck on I95, thank goodness!) (for 12 minutes I kept hearing another band play and I thought that Pseu had "gone over." Only to realize something else was on. sigh)
	👻 3:12pm royvis: ¡Good afternoon Fabio and everybuddy!
	3:15pm Ike (slightly evil variant): Does anyone ever have the slightly evil thought, “Thst must be a parody account! There’s no way that’s real.” If you’re here all the time, you know what I’m talking about. Apologies for the evil.
	3:15pm HyperDose: Hey chresti, tim, RRN63, David, Carm. Sorry to hear, Phillip. But glad you're hear with us! :)
	👻 3:17pm chresti: Hey HyperD!
	👻 3:18pm Bruce S.: @ David in London Thank you so much for your extraordinary piece on Silver Applesand the Simon Coxe Interview.I haven't been excited by a piece of music journalism in so long I'd forgotten what thats like. we are surrounded by so much bullshit, that when you get a gem of truth you must really appreciate it. You really convey the excitment and gravity of that night at corsica studios, the Historical importance of the show. The wonderful interview with Simon Coxe gives real insight intoSilver Apples and were they were coming from in the Sixties. Simon Said he considered Silver Apples a Rock and Roll Band with a new and different sound,and it says so much about the music scene at that time that they were hoping for mainstream success.
	3:18pm Scott67: Mesmerizing! G'day Fabio & Fabulous! 👍😎👣🎶📻🌞🌏
	3:18pm Cal in Dothan: Just got my positive result Phil… underestimated the anxiety that came along with
	3:19pm tim from washington: Hello HyperDose! Hello pals, dudettes, chums and amigos!
	3:19pm Cal in Dothan: Happy to be here Fabs and failers! Silver lining this show is in the foreground for a change
	3:19pm Hubig Pie: DiL, dear me , I guess there will be no pickled onions to serve with our jellied eel snacklets
	👻 3:20pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: you know today's gonna be filled with heaters when we're starting off with la monte young
	3:21pm tim from washington: I'm reading Jack Gilbert during my lunch break. These sounds pair quite nicely.
	3:22pm Handy Haversack: Fabio and Fasilsafes! My strength training today has been going the extra fail mile. I shall be stronger than all that has come before. These sounds made that last 20-min. work meeting bearable! Glad to be here.
	3:22pm David (in London): Bruce, gosh, thank you so much, that's very kind of you. I'm so glad that you liked it, I really am. Reverend, Tim, Chrestikins, Rev D. Hubig, Scotty, Miss G, HyperDose, Carmichael et al. Hello. It really is standing room only in here tonight. So many prime quality groovers.
	3:23pm Handy Haversack: These onions are nice and crunchy, David!
	👻 3:23pm Bruce S.: Their sound is always otherworldly with lyricsappropriatly abstract and somewhat esoteric, and all their albums are classic including the later stuff. I kind of wish Simon had stated that the station Danny Taylor was listening to was WFMU and the DJ was Fabio. I am so glad we have a document clarifying their place in music history. thank you so much
	👻 3:25pm Bas NL: Hi Fabio! Hi Failbulosas!
	3:25pm listener phillip (in the bronx): For the life of me I cant shake this fever 100.1 I'm on my second bottle of tylenol
	3:25pm Ike (regular flavor): Love the sounds!
	3:26pm TDK60: Hi Fabio. busy in the studio. / David in London, Bruce S., where can I find that article?
	👻 3:26pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: some of my favorite clips from LMY features i've read: "In the early ‘60s, La Monte played with John Cale and Tony Conrad. They’d tune their instruments to the 120hz hum of the aquarium motor for La Monte and Mariam’s pet turtles."
	👻 3:27pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: Young isn’t interested in temporal popularity; he believes his music will be exalted, because it leads toward enlightenment. “People have written that I’m the most influential composer in the last 50 years, and I think that’s true,” he says. “What’s more, when I die, people will say, ‘He was the most important composer since the beginning of music.’ It’s not just a work of genius — I did things no one ever dreamed of and I set up an approach to sound that parallels universal structure.” “La Monte isn’t known for his modesty,” chuckles Rhys Chatham, who studied with Young and is best known for writing minimalist guitar assaults. He recalls La Monte saying, “If one invents fire, why should one be modest about it?”
	3:27pm David (in London): Bruce, I love the idea of Simeon presenting local news in Alabama in the 70s. And kids buying their ice cream from him. What a life. Hey Handy, Bas, TDK. TDK, I'll dig out the links for you.
	👻 3:27pm Bruce S.: @ david in London you haven't been around in a while but I really felt Strongly about your work and really wanted to tell you
	3:28pm David (in London): I'm genuinely touched by that Bruce, thank you.
	3:29pm Miss G: Maybe it's à propos if I mention that I just finished a book from 2018 (I began it then, but I sent it to a friend in Europa) "The Downtown Pop Underground: New York City and the Literary Punks, Renegade Artists, DIY Filmmakers, Mad Playwrights, and Rock 'n' Roll Glitter Queens who Revolutionized Culture" by Kembrew McLeod. It has all kinds of stories, stuff I thought I knew about, but I learned way a lot more! Highly recommended.
	3:29pm Scott67: G'day David, these pickled onions are prickly. Is that blood??👄👅
	👻 3:30pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Hey Fabio, fellow failures. Working late tonight as it's been one interruption after another...trying to get into a work groove.
	👻 3:30pm Bruce S.: I started Listening to Silver Apples around the same time I started Listening to 13th Floor Elevators and Both Bands Hold a special place in my Psyche
	👻 3:32pm Bruce S.: OK now you can move on David
	3:33pm Handy Haversack: La Monte Young was in the VU doc fairly often, right?
	3:33pm Miss G: It's kind of amazing, the kind of music your mind makes up, and the things your inner eye sees, during La Monte Young
	3:33pm tim from washington: The first music my daughter responded to was 13th Floor's 'You're gonna Miss Me' when she was 6 months old. When the song came on she started bouncing up and down and flapping her arms. I figured that that's about the best way to listen to Roky Erikson.
	3:34pm David (in London): TDK, An interview with Silver Apples here: freq.org.uk... Review of live show from 2014 here: freq.org.uk...
	3:35pm tim from washington: That looks like a cool book, Miss G. Right up my alley.
	3:36pm upstatesean: Yo Fab i O, what is Up.
	3:36pm Kevin-san: Pickled Onion Failures are the best! HNY David!
	3:37pm Handy Haversack: By the way, Fabio, the turntable works like a charm, and Bagpipe is learning how to be patient at record stores! We'll bring him back to see you soon.
	3:37pm tom tom the pipers son: i kinda see this la monte young as a new year track. i wonder if fabio intends it that way
	3:38pm upstatesean: Love hearing this failure music
	3:38pm Miss G: tim from washington, the author is an academic, but a younger cooler one, and he has an overview which is great, it's an arts overview, and not some kind of "blinders on" view of what is p**k or not, which was so irritating at the time.
	3:39pm Mister Dobalina: This sounds are where it's at !!
	3:40pm upstatesean: Wait, just remembered Fabio doesn’t tend to the nonsense going on in the chat. Greetings fellow Failures.
	3:41pm David (in London): Hey Kevin! Happy new thing to you, too my friend! How are you?
	3:41pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Wikipedia says John Cale (! VU guy, THAT John Cale??) was involved with La Monte Young!
	3:41pm TDK60: Thanks David! I recall as a teen when the 1st S.A. LP was new. A friend had the LP. I was almost scared by the machine-like futuristic sounds! Ha! Then, I was memerized, got the LP.
	👻 3:43pm chris in the redwoods: <picks up onion, wipes off dust and glass, pops in mouth> greetings, Fabio and fellow failure aficionados.
	👻 3:43pm chresti: Hello, David in Londonkins.
	3:44pm TDK60: [s]
	3:44pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: John Cale: Velvet Underground as John Paul Jones: Led Zeppelin. Ummm that La Monte Young was...<cough cough> an "import" < cough cough>??
	3:44pm mike 446: WFMU rules!
	3:44pm Mister Dobalina: Congratulations, here's to much more.
	3:45pm mike 446: 1986 was the year short circuit the robot movie came out. Great year

	3:46pm Kevin-san: chinks two jars of pickled onions together in celebration
	3:46pm Handy Haversack: Yay, Fabio! Very glad you're still at it!
	3:46pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Thanks for all the music Fabio! I was listening in a 1979 chevy nova in a hay field to this "really cool radio station" my buddy told me about whilst smoking weed. It was the 80's, there was probably michelob also....
	👻 3:46pm Bas NL: You are a cornerstone and a linchpin of WFMU Fabio.
	3:46pm upstatesean: Pretty sure that was before fmu ran Upsala College in to Chapter 11 😀
	3:46pm Miss G: Auguri DJ Fabio. The balsamic vinegar of WFMU DJs.
	3:47pm Guy Walker: Happy New Year to you both good to hear your voice today.
	3:47pm Megaroni: Happy New Year Fabio! Thank you for your service and being so cool
	👻 3:47pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: i want to know if Fabio saw MEMORIA last week at IFC Center
	3:47pm steveo: Could you read that title again? But seriously, 3 hours of that drone would be fine with me.
	3:47pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Hey bas, back in the 80's did you ever design a treadmill with tractor treads you run on in the road at SU?
	3:47pm TDK60: Happy anniversary of having to go to NJ weekly.
	👻 3:47pm Bruce S.: Fabio, you were ahead of your time back then and your still ahead of your time now, though the Cretins are definitly at the Gates

	3:51pm Handy Haversack: And Control yourself, David!
	3:51pm Mister Dobalina: Don't miss the Kurt Russell retrospective at Metrograph. Though his seminal, early works will not be shown, it will definitely be a good time.
	3:52pm David (in London): If I was only ever to be able to see The Thing and Big Trouble in Little China for the rest of my life, I really wouldn't mind.
	3:53pm Handy Haversack: The Thing is excellent, excellent work. It can't be easy to have second billing to a bottle of J&B and help it save the world, but Russell does it like he was born for the role.
	👻 3:53pm Bruce S.: Used Cars was Excellent too
	3:56pm PaulRobeson1920: Hii all! Nice sounds
	3:59pm Mister Dobalina: I'm going to check out The Best of Times Kurt and Robin Williams.

	4:04pm mike 446: Genie ass
	👻 4:05pm Bruce S.: I would agree Big Trouble in Little China.....Also Excellent
	4:06pm Peter from Dover NJ: If there's a bright side to covid, I can stay home from work to listen to Strength thru Failure.
	👻 4:07pm Bruce S.: speaking of Excellent, Todays show is super cool
	4:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Looking @ the young KimCattrall is OK with me I guess.
	4:08pm mike 446: I gotta go to work, I’ll be listening. Thanks for radio no one else will do!
	4:10pm Fabio: @ Mike 446: Which "Robot Movie" are you referring to?

	4:36pm Handy Haversack: Hand of God ... set in Naples ... but not about Maradona?
	4:37pm disco_nap_: Benedetta rules!!
	4:38pm Shelf life: Love Napoli! Saw Licorice Pizza and hated it. Gotta remember to never see another Paul T. Anderson movie.
	4:38pm David (in London): I went through some of the Clockwork Orange boxes in the Kubrick Archive. By some, I mean a dozen of hundreds. It was utterly mind-blowing.
	4:40pm listener james from westwood: Does it get better than seeing Escape from New York in NYC?
	4:40pm Lixiviated Life: hello failure people !
	4:40pm The Oscar: Afternoon! I'm a member of my local film critic's circle and got a screener DVD of Memoria, but I didn't feel right watching it on my TV so I rented a private screening room at my local video store! Really cool movie-- I will definitely need to see it again when it plays proper near me.
	4:40pm Miss G: Well that Spanish docu looks like a must (Clockwork) I'm so tired I will recommend this article in Spanish, you have to do a translation. The gorgeous and talented Marisol was a child actress then fabulous singer then married to the great Antonio Gades, but she went through a lot and it is totes political: www-revistavanityfair-es.translate.goog...
	👻 4:40pm Bruce S.: Lee Van Cleef also
	4:41pm Lixiviated Life: My favorite line from Amacord is: "VOGLIO UNA DONNA"
	4:41pm nadalex: SNAKE PLISSKEN!!! What? Thanks for letting us know, Fabio
	👻 4:42pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: please no PTA slander in the chat, he's arguably the best active filmmaker
	4:43pm Miss G: Well David in London, as The Continental said (sorry, maybe this is a US ref) Wowie Wow Wow re: Kubrick!
	👻 4:44pm Bruce S.: Funeral for Queen Mary from Clockwork Orange is an Extraordinary Piece of Music
	4:44pm Miss G: The Oscar you are a mensch, bravo to you.
	4:46pm Handy Haversack: I missed a bit talking to K8 (like a selfish jerk!). Is "A Forbidden Orange" the documentary we're talking about?
	4:46pm ChukAmok: BBQJA: That doesn't read like slander to me, just someone's opinion, which is subjective. I have my thoughts (both good and bad) about P.T.A., but they are varied, nuanced, and way too much to try to explain in a comments board setting.
	4:46pm David (in London): Miss G. There's too much to say here but two key things [a] all the stories about him are true and [b] he had the internet in the 70s, not an online digital one, but a vast analogue paper one of his own creation.
	4:49pm Miss G: This great track (mesmerizing as it is, I think I know it?) makes me say, that some of you might be in quarantine as I was recently, and need something in the home and free. So, rarefilmm has this rarefilmm.com... BBC one hour docu I loved it on Joe Meek
	4:50pm listener james from westwood: @Bruce S. Always dig hearing Wendy Carlos's work on that heading up Julie's show on the Drummer Stream each Tuesday.
	👻 4:53pm Bruce S.: Thanks for the Heads up listener james from westwood, now that I think of it the whole A Clockwork Orange soundtrack is Amazeing
	👻 4:54pm Bruce S.: Kubrick always used great music in his films
	4:54pm listener james from westwood: I think it only left my college-era Walkman for Kraftwerk and Gary Numan for a goodly stretch.
	4:54pm tom tom the pipers son: @david in london....remember seeing a kubrick doc where the showed he had quite the yen for ryman's stationary shops
	4:55pm Miss G: Handy yes, to my stupid tired ears? A Forbidden Orange Original title: La naranja prohibida I would LOVE to see that
	👻 4:56pm Bruce S.: Yes ljfw, I think we can say that soundtrack was seminal
	4:57pm listener james from westwood: The Godfather also turns 50 this year. Would dearly love to see that in the theaters. I was a touch young first time around. But I do remember my relatives doing their Don Corleone voices when addressing my actual godfather after the film's release.
	4:57pm dale: assuming not philip johnson the architect
	4:57pm Shelf life: @Buffalo Bills--did you see Licorice Pizza? Sorry, I loved Boogie Nights and really liked Magnolia, but this one just didn't seem to have any real guts, the story seemed fake and not from the heart, which can be okay, but it seemed like all style, no substance (and his style isn't that remarkable), and not fun or enjoyable. Seems like he is making movies for an audience of 1--himself. I wonder how he gets financing.
	4:59pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Miss G!
	👻 4:59pm Bruce S.: I saw the Godfather in the Theater when it came out and I got a special program with lots of cool pix from the movie
	4:59pm dale: i could do without some of my relationships.
	👻 5:00pm Bruce S.: I think I was 12
	👻 5:00pm Rev. Turnip Druid: very much behind the message here.
	5:00pm Miss G: Ah, Gen Ken for the New Year. Yes! Everything new. I got to move from this stupid apartment and this stupid town.
	5:01pm Shelf life: I get the impression that PTA just isn't that deep, like let's say a Fellini, that or else he just can't convey it in a movie, but it is like he is trying to present something deep in this movie but it's not deep at all
	5:02pm Red: I have to say I don’t recognize many of these numbers your playing. I enjoy your deep-voiced announcing. Would it hurt to play some Savoy Brown or Dan Fogelberg now and then? Some of us gain comfort from old tunes we recall from the past. Don’t mind me. I’m set in my ways. Your station is the only one I can pick up here in Carlstadt. I’m hunkered waiting for the snow with a bag of burgers and coffee.
	5:04pm Jeanne: Bon voyage GenKen!! We love you!
	5:04pm Miss G: Get the F out! Where the hell are we all supposed to go?! (OK I'll stop)
	5:04pm Shelf life: I'm gonna stop now but I thought Licorice Pizza was totally stupid and not successful as a comedy or piece of entertainment or story. Empty piece of crap and a waste of money
	5:05pm tim from washington: Nooooooo!
	👻 5:06pm Jason from Houston: NOOOOOOOO
	5:06pm disco_nap_: The Last Picture Show is one of my all time favorite films and I just found out Bogdanovich's wife at the time, Polly Platt, came up with the idea to adapt the novel in the first place and really made it what it was. www.currentaffairs.org...
	👻 5:06pm Jason from Houston: Yeah... The Last Picture Show is gold.
	5:07pm Red: There hasn’t been a really good movie since Duel, if you ask me.
	👻 5:07pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: @ShelfLife i guess that depends on what you consider deep, but IMO all of his movies are either good or great. i have not seen Licorice Pizza tho. Magnolia is one of my favorite films ever
	👻 5:07pm Bruce S.: Targets is kind of a Classic
	5:08pm Miss G: Yeah I learned from Krys O in a previous show re: Bogdanovich. I will say, that he stood by and promoted My Main Man, Orson Welles (I couldn't believe Dana Spiotta entered my brain and wrote the novel "Innocents and Others.") RIP to a complicated guy.
	5:08pm Shelf life: BTW, I think this movie is meant to be a comedy but my criticism holds for a few of his movies, like he's trying to be deep but it ain't working. This and his last movie aren't even successfully atmospheric
	👻 5:08pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: @shefllife all of his movies have some element of humor IMO
	5:08pm Handy Haversack: Cheers, Failsafes. Workday over, drinks mixed. Glad to be hearing these sounds with such fine strong folx.
	5:09pm Shelf life: I love where ur coming from, Red
	5:09pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Magnolia was quite a spellbinder.
	👻 5:09pm Jason from Houston: I wonder if it was her idea for Peter to hook up with Cybil Shepherd...
	5:09pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: Is this Gen Ken the guy who owned the Generator store back in the 80's or 90's?
	5:09pm David (in London): Red, surely you're overlooking Stop or My Mom Will Shoot III..?
	5:09pm PaulRobeson1920: @Lixivated Life: Hii! I’m curious, what’s cookin for dinner?
	5:10pm Shelf life: Bill, I agree that all of his movies have some element of humor. I'd love to hear your thoughts on Licorice Pizza
	5:10pm Juli: :Looking for a thrill: Found a garden of sound
	5:11pm Red: Never saw that one. Throw Momma From The Train was pretty good. I’m more of a TV guy.
	5:11pm PaulRobeson1920: “ I got thrill pills for all the little chickies & I got funny cigarettes for all you boys”
	5:12pm nic: love this!!!
	5:13pm dale: this tune is making my tinnitus go berserk.
	5:13pm Shelf life: Maybe PTA should start finding good scripts cuz he doesn't seem to have much to say
	5:14pm tim from washington: I didn't realize Bogdanovich did Mask. I think Cher's a great actor. Like Sinatra, I like Cher's acting much better than her music. Sonny and Cher is great though.
	5:15pm Ochre Ogre: Ciao Fabio. Indeed, The Last Picture Show Ellen Burstyn, Jeff Bridges... excellent script, in beautiful b&w!
	👻 5:16pm Bruce S.: @ tim from washington agree about Mask excellent Movie The whole cast was really great
	5:16pm Miss G: tim from washington, I just watched Cher in "Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean" (which, I had NO IDEA what the plot was, I thought it was going to be like "Steel Magnolias.") Cher was so great. I particularly loved her in "Silkwood." I rode the elevator with her once. Yes, she is indeed tiny. But so much charisma!
	👻 5:16pm chresti: Dale, turn it up?
	👻 5:16pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: never seen a PTA film i didn't like!
	5:18pm Red: Cher should have stuck with Gregg Almond in my estimation.
	👻 5:19pm Bruce S.: I wonder what Elijah Blue is doing now
	5:20pm tim from washington: @Miss G - that's a great one! Other Cher movie I really like is Moonstruck.
	5:20pm Red: Roadie’n for that Trucks kid, probably.
	5:20pm dale: chresti - if you ever ride a motorcycle, wear ear plugs.
	👻 5:21pm Ken From Hyde Park: Good afternoon, Fabio and extra-strength formulas!
	5:21pm Miss G: tim from washington, for a few reasons, I'm not ashamed to say I also love Moonstruck. <G>
	👻 5:22pm Rev. Turnip Druid: KUUUUUUUUU-PUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuu......
	👻 5:22pm Bruce S.: Elijah Blue A Roadie, that makes sence somehow
	5:22pm Red: Dennis Weaver made Duel good. That and that trucker where all you could see was his arm.
	👻 5:23pm chresti: I saw Cher perform her Vegas act in Monte Carlo, she did a whole bit about how messed up Gregg was, with a slide show.
	👻 5:23pm Rev. Turnip Druid: seconding the earplugs für moto
	5:23pm nic: love this!!!
	5:23pm tim from washington: I liked Bogdanovich's acting too. Especially as Dr Melfi's shrink in the Sopranos.
	5:23pm Carmichael: Maximum Overdrive. Almost as silly as Big Trouble ...
	5:24pm Red: Gotta be messed up to sing that good.
	5:24pm Miss G: chresti, oh dear. I do not like the "kiss and tell" genre. Yes tim from washington, B. was very great in The Sopranos.
	5:27pm Ochre Ogre: Good one, was about to mention Moonstruck, seemed like Cher wasn't even acting, so genuine.
	👻 5:28pm chresti: I think the song she sang with it was "too far gone" aside from that, it was a great show with really good dancers @Miss G Dale, also good to drive on the freeway with the windows up.
	5:28pm dale: other star of duel was the rental plymouth valiant he beat the shite out of.
	5:30pm Red: That red car Weaver drove? Loved that thing. Like an old Dodge Dart or something. I’m going to rent it again.
	5:31pm dale: chresti, i had a jeep wrangler with a soft top for 14 years. THAT was torture on your ears above 50mph.
	5:32pm Red: My brother had a Valiant he bought in Paterson. 318 Mopar. He wrapped it around a light pole one 4th of July. He was OK though.
	5:33pm Shelf life: I thought maybe Red was Clay P....
	👻 5:35pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: i wanna know what @Red think of this song
	5:36pm Fabio: Re PTA: Magnolia, Boogie Nights, Hard Eight, Punch-Drunk Love and what I consider to be his masterpiece - Inherent Vice are all excellent films. Though not as strong, I most definitely enjoyed Licorice Pizza, It's a sweet coming of age film.
	5:36pm Red: This song sounds like an un-oiled teeter-totter.
	5:38pm Red: It did for a bit anyway. Now it sounds like my Kelvinator freezer humming in the basement.
	👻 5:38pm chris in the redwoods: Punch-Drunk Love is an amazing film; highly recommend!
	5:39pm wilbur: Great show Fabio...seems like cinephobe.tv is down for the count these daze. there was a doc a few years back about an actor ( from Barry Lyndon) who became Kubrick's assistant on subsequent films...did you see it? enjoy the SNOW!!
	5:40pm Red: I like Bill Anderson and Pam.
	5:40pm Peter from Dover NJ: Thanks for a great program, Fabio.
	5:40pm Jon: Did someone already mention “There Will Be Blood”?
	5:41pm Pidge: Love you, Fab! You are the BEST!
	5:42pm Miss G: LOL getting such a chuckle, nay, laughing so hard: No, ya don't like so much, the precious Wes A? I'm shocked. ..SHOCKED! (natürlich, I adore him, but I didn't see the recent as I was hoping for theater)
	5:43pm Miss G: Oh look at the time, re: that virus: listener phillip, Peter from Dover NJ, I'm so sorry re: your illness. 2/3 my young family members had breakthru covid these past days/holidays and also many of their friends here in VA. Not easy, like bad flu for 4-5 days. "Courage" as they say in French. Drink lots of water.
	👻 5:44pm Bruce S.: Royal Tennenbaums is one of my favorite films and Rushmore was good But I don't really go for his other films that much
	5:45pm tim from washington: I'm in the PTA club. I've loved everything he's done. His films hold up to repeated viewings. I'm excited to see Licorice Pizza. Wes Anderson, I've given up on. Too much of the same schtick for me. I like really like Wes A up to Fantastic Mr Fox, then it's diminishing returns for me.
	5:45pm listener phillip (in the bronx): WOW where did the time go!! I was enjoying the sounds
	5:45pm dale: darjeeling limited was worth it for the scenery.
	5:45pm Red: Is this Mark Farner?
	5:46pm Peter from Dover NJ: @Miss G 5:43 thank you kindly. I'm triple vaxxed, I wear a mask everywhere, and it still got me. Omicron is no joke. Be careful out there, everyone.
	5:46pm Jon: Bruce, I’m with you, it instead of Royal T.’s I LOVE The Life Aquatic. One of my favorite movies ever.
	👻 5:47pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: Royal Tenenbaums is a total masterpiece. i dont get a lot of other Wes films tho, but i appreciate him.
	👻 5:47pm chris in the redwoods: still in the WA fan-club... mostly... diminishing returns does strike a chord, but Life Aquatic... oh man.
	5:47pm Miss G: Red, just for you, I will tell you that a formative experience for me was sitting on a bunch of hay bales at the 4H fair, where I slept overnight with my goats, and listened to "An American Band" and I said, "I'm going to get out of this town and I'm going to party it down with the band" . . .and I did.
	5:48pm Handy Haversack: I only liked Rushmore. But I loved Rushmore. It was my Rushmore.
	5:48pm Ochre Ogre: Has anyone heard a reference to the just released "Nightmare Ally' as a remake of the 1947 film noir feature with Tyrone Power and Joan Blondell?
	👻 5:48pm Bruce S.: Yeah I forgot about Life Aquatic, I liked that too
	5:49pm Red: You partied with Grand Funk!
	5:50pm tim from washington: @Ochre - yes, the latest from Guillermo del Toro. I'm curious.
	👻 5:50pm Bruce S.: Ochre Ogre the commercial for it looks really great
	5:50pm Miss G: PS Red sorry, I got so excited I didn't say it properly. I was listening on a Panasonic Fruit Loop radio to the AM. And, no, of course I did not get down with Grand Funk. But, one day, I did "party with the band." That was a very great song, for some of us girls.
	5:50pm common: Enjoying the sounds Fabio. Thanks
	5:51pm Handy Haversack: Miss G, were the goats OK? Fabio! Wonderful show. Thank you as always, and happy radioversary again. Really grateful for your work. Many thanks. Be well, friends! Keep on partying with Grand Funk in whatever manner holds significance in your hearts! We shall be strong!
	5:52pm Red: I partied with 38 Special one night.
	👻 5:52pm Bruce S.: Red, did you go for Asleep at the Wheel?
	5:53pm Analog Nights: Licorice Pizza is the movie WA wants to make but can't.
	5:53pm Miss G: Handy, I not only won "Best of Show" for my goat Mandy, but I won a prize for knowing all the parts of the goat (as opposed to the other kids who _knew_ goats, whereas I just memorized it) and I won Best of Show for a skirt I had sewn. Yes, that county fair was insane but great.
	5:53pm TDK60: Gracias, Fabio.
	👻 5:54pm chresti: Awesome, a goat skirt?
	👻 5:54pm Rev. Turnip Druid: YEY THIS
	5:54pm Ochre Ogre: The original release of Nightmare Alley is quite good.
	5:54pm cosmic matrix: been here for a little while. great sounds!! thanks fabio

	5:55pm Mister Dobalina: Good stuff as always, Fabio. Fabio 2022 & beyond!
	5:55pm Red: Bruce. No, but my brother fell asleep at the wheel on his way to work last year and ran his Nova into a ditch. He was OK but totaled the car. He drives a little Chevy Luv now. Works in Mahwah.
	👻 5:55pm Bas NL: Peripeteia is on my list now irisarri.bandcamp.com...

	5:57pm WM: One of my very favorite Pere Ubu songs. Thanks.
	👻 5:57pm Buffalo Bills Quarterback Josh Allen: great show!
	👻 5:57pm chresti: Thanks Fabio!
	5:57pm cosmic matrix: never heard this one before! my new favorite song. wow
	5:57pm Shelf life: Great show, Fabio, thanks! I'm wondering if you've seen Licorice Pizza. I was surprised at my virulent dislike of it....
	👻 5:57pm Bas NL: Happy 36th Fabio! And an exemplary show again today! Thanks!
	5:57pm Ochre Ogre: Grazie Fabio!
	5:57pm dale: now it sounds like the carney from your funeral my trial
