	3:09pm tim from champaign: Howdy Fabio and Friends!
	3:09pm dc pat: this just kills everything. every bit as good as studio version
	3:09pm dc pat: I mean, the official version...
	3:10pm common: engage.
	3:10pm DCE: let's have a real goo time today!
	3:11pm tim from champaign: Fred Phelps passed away today. Good riddance. Thanks for continuing the Rock Action tribute, Fabio!
	3:12pm ?: take 7 was so much better
	3:12pm dc pat: can you play a bleeped version of Cock in My Pocket?
	3:13pm dc pat: Do you have any Fred Phelps tunes?
	3:14pm tim from champaign: dc pat - it's called "Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell".
	3:14pm kimgland: dirt dirt dirt
	3:15pm common: I love the ghosty keys on penetration.
	3:17pm Chris from DC: The one time I got to see the Stooges all I could catch through the crowd was about 20 seconds of Iggy during "No Fun". Most packed show I've ever seen.
	3:18pm Cecile: Hola!
	3:19pm steve: is there an Iggy/Stooges related special occasion?
	3:19pm Cecile: Scott Asheton died.
	3:20pm steve: oy. sorry to hear that... :(
	3:20pm ADM: Scott Asheton, the drummer for the Stooges, has passed. RIP.
	3:21pm Cecile: Iggy is the only one of the original band still on the planet.
	3:21pm SeanG: LOOSE
	3:21pm tim from champaign: I'm really glad I got to see the reformed Stooges at Pine Knob outside of Detroit. It was one of their first US reunion shows. The show originally was going to happen on the day of the huge Eastern Seaboard blackout. The joke was that the Stooges blew the fuse during their sound check.
	3:22pm LOOSE: I love this shit.
	3:22pm Bjornscht: G'damm, I'm dancing double-time, the giant way over here, I'm acromegalic
	3:22pm Cecile: I never did get to see them. Them's the break. Loose, right on.
	3:22pm Rock Action: Long Live The Stooges!
	3:27pm MenfussMike: thanks for the stooges and thank you Scott Asheton. feel lucky i got the chance to see them play 4 times.
	3:28pm common: yea, thanks for the tribute, fabio. never, ever gets old.
	3:31pm Bjornscht: Godamm rock n roll emergency
	3:31pm Jack: Thanks Fabio! Thank you Scott Asheton for it all. The Stooges were the first band I ever saw, in 1969 their NY debut (with the MC5 and David Peel) Words still can't describe it, but it blew my mind and changed my life forever. I was 16 years old.
	3:32pm MenfussMike: ;-) Jack
	3:33pm Ike: Someone (Kenny G.?) once played different takes of "T.V. Eye" for an hour. (Or three hours?) I'm still kinda traumatized by that. Much better than any trendy top-40 stunting though.
	3:33pm Bjornscht: Bummer though that Igg did that Ke$ha nonsense
	3:34pm Cecile: It was Loose.
	3:35pm Cecile: Or at least that's what I remember.
	3:35pm Cecile: I could be remembering wrong.
	3:36pm common: @jack: that's awesome!
	3:36pm Greg from VA: Thanks Fabio for starting your show with tribute to Scott Asheton. I weaned my rock and roll memories seeing the Stooges and MC5 play in Detroit in the late 60's and early 70's. Scott was the driving rhythmic force behind the Stooges relentless pre-punk sounds, seeing them was like stepping into a space ship and landing on planet Punk when everyone else was doing the Hippy Dance Love In, totally unreal and unrelenting, something visceral which hit you right down to the center of your bones, bodily fluids and soul, leaving you a totally person then the one who entered the concert hall!!!!
	3:36pm r i s k y: Thanks Fabio! This is grand!
	3:39pm coelacanth: By drugs you mean "preservatives",right?
	3:39pm Greg from VA: I meant to say that the Stooges left you a totally different person then the one who entered the concert hall.
	3:40pm coelacanth: Were they ahead of their time,or was the majority lagging behind?
	3:40pm Dean: Tribute to Cecile's memory: https://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/29921
	3:42pm Cecile: Steve McKaye or McKay
	3:43pm kimgland: STEVE MCKAYE
	3:43pm Cecile: I can't remember the spelling. My brain is starting to slow up.
	3:43pm MenfussMike: i saw the stooges for the first time at Little Stevens Underground Fest at Randall's Island. The day was filled with a slew of great bands, but when The Stooges came on I completely forgot about what I had seen and realized I was seeing one of the greatest rock n roll bands ever....and i was there. They exceeded all expectations.
	3:44pm coelacanth: Also ahead of their time. (the monks)
	3:45pm common: @coelacanth: indeed!
	3:47pm V Priceless: Ubu! Great track!
	3:47pm Greg from VA: Coelacanth, I think the Stooges were innovators in term of stripping rock and roll down to it's essentials, then adding a raw emotional energy that others were not yet showing on stage, Iggy wriggling on the floor, tearing off his cloths, cutting himself, jumping into the audience, getting into fights, climbing into the balcony, all the while the band played on,... so in that sense, they were a little ahead of their time.
	3:47pm Lulu: oh this is fun!
	👻 3:48pm Rev. Turnip Druid: always dug this ubu
	3:48pm V Priceless: hauntingly beautiful this, "Codex"
	3:49pm Chris from DC: Brilliant song.
	👻 3:49pm Rev. Turnip Druid: something about it always struck me as the drunken lovechild of ubu & snakefinger
	3:49pm steve: did any member of Monks go on to any other projects? i remember looking a while ago, and think the answer was no... or at least, i didn't find much.
	3:51pm Cecile: they mostly retired from the music biz.
	3:52pm Cheri Pi: Woa, the Ubu
	3:54pm common: i did get to see pere ubu in the 90s. no stooges, however.
	3:54pm coelacanth: Greg from VA Yes you're definitely right.
	3:58pm mike in portland: how about some fred phelps music?
	3:58pm coelacanth: The timing wasn't right for me to see the Stooges,but i don't know how i never saw Pere Ubu in their prime.(while I was in MY prime,& seeing tons of bands.)
	4:02pm V Priceless: Ubu were (and still are) a great live rock & roll band! DT only remaining original member, but the original band that recorded "Modern Dance" are still around in some way, shape or form doing other stuff.
	4:04pm tim from champaign: Here's some suggestions for a Fred Phelps tribute: "Satan Is Real", "It's Raining Men" and "I'm at the Bookstore" by the Dicks.
	4:04pm coelacanth: I'm sorry freddie moved on from his hell...He was amusing,and served to make whatever he believed seem ludicrous.
	4:05pm DCE: he wasn't amusing to whoever he felt like taunting, you can bet on that. fuck the guy.
	4:05pm steve: dam, that was so funky
	4:05pm glenn: fuck fred phelps, and the horse he rode in on.
	4:06pm coelacanth: (...on the other hand- "Glad to see you go go go go,goodbye".)
	4:06pm glenn: speaking of italian pop. my g.f. dragged me off to see zucchero last week, and it was pretty damn great.
	4:09pm coelacanth: DCE yes true,for a long time...But for the last few years i don't think people took him very seriously. ...I know,when they protested MY town,"we"(i wasn't there) just laughed at them. They left quite unfulfilled.
	4:11pm mariano: Fred Phelps tribute you say?!? Lots of Queen, of course, Village People, Communards, Bronski Beat, The Homosexuals, Homo Picnic (if just for the names), and, to include female groups, Tribe 8, Bikini Kill, Seven Year Bitch... though for some reason Phelps had it in for "fags," don't recall seeing lotsa "God Hates Dykes" signs, though I could be wrong, I'm sure he hated them all.
	4:15pm cklequ: I think pretty much everything WFMU plays is a Fred Phelps tribute. Except maybe a choice few songs on Sinner's Crossroads (but even that might be a stretch). That guy hated everybody
	4:15pm coelacanth: mariano -awesome!...(also Tom Robinson Band,Smiths-?,Gay Bikers On Acid...)
	4:15pm Andrew Waterloo: Don't forget Ru Paul and Divine.
	4:17pm tim from champaign: I have to wonder if Phelps was closeted himself. One can't spew that much hate without having a lot of internal hate. Hopefully, no one in his group will take up his baton. Agreed, cklequ. FMU is everything that morons like Phelps are against. FMU is still standing and he's not.
	4:19pm mariano: @tim: "Hopefully, no one in his group will take up his baton." Ew, ew eeeeewwww!!!
	4:19pm steve: even if he's not closeted, im sure a psychiatrist would have had a field day studying him.
	4:19pm Carmichael: The only reason I'm sad about Phelps' passing is that I will not have the opportunity to kill him myself. Bet he's not enjoying himself right about now, with all that eternal damnation shit goin' on around him.
	4:20pm coelacanth: tim... He probably was,but it was so deep he'd never even crack that door...Probably didn't even realise it himself.
	4:24pm Ike: Patton Oswalt on Phelps in 2007: www.spin.com...
	4:25pm Mott: Drekka's songwriting really evolving on this track...
	4:29pm tim from champaign: There's something really great about the sound of tape manipulation.
	4:30pm nic: i totally loved the last piece
	4:31pm Mott: Drekka's dayjob is at a mortuary..
	4:32pm common: thanks for the link, ike!
	4:33pm Cecile: Other Phelps tribute bands King's X Tom Robinson Band Sylvester Patrick Cowley Ten City Cecil Taylor Scissor Sisters Pauline Oliveros Labi Sifre The Dicks
	4:35pm Cecile: well, patrick cowley is kind of dead, so der.
	4:36pm Dean: Voice Farm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tyl8oVlost8
	4:36pm Cecile: and so is Sylvester. But you can play their music!
	4:36pm Mott: Drekka's follow up album was not as upbeat...
	4:40pm V Priceless: anybody add The Queers to the list yet? : )
	4:41pm Cecile: pansy division
	4:41pm coelacanth: -And i don't know if Gay Bikers On Acid has homosexual members or not,but i think fred would've liked them just for the name. Also a Sleater-Kinney reunion.
	4:42pm V Priceless: ha!
	👻 4:42pm Rev. Turnip Druid: this sound...
	4:42pm V Priceless: Jonathan King?
	4:43pm common: judas priest?
	4:45pm Carmichael: Cycle Sluts from Hell?
	4:48pm marmalade kitty: trapped in a gay bar forever and ever.. until he finds true love
	4:49pm glenn: the bunch of fucking goofs, who are only known in toronto, but the name is evocative of the westboro baptist morons.
	4:50pm Chris from DC: Anyone mention Big Boys?
	4:52pm Cecile: Yeah, big boys Husker Du
	4:52pm V Priceless: Jonathan Richman dancing in a lesbian bar?
	4:53pm steve: in addition to the gay bands, i say Diamanda Galas should play his funeral
	4:53pm common: good ones, chris, ceceile and v.
	👻 4:54pm Rev. Turnip Druid: actually i think Steve nailed it. All we need is Diamanda to play the funeral, and the balance of energy will be restored.
	4:54pm glenn: oh. hidden cameras. they're all gay.
	4:55pm coelacanth: steve Absolutely!
	4:55pm Cecile: Johnny Dangerous
	4:55pm common: good call steve, rev!
	4:55pm Cecile: Cazwell
	4:55pm V Priceless: can we "drag" Anita Bryant, kicking and screaming?
	4:55pm coelacanth: -but preceded by electric 6. ("gay bar")
	4:58pm coelacanth: (& maybe the ghost of Tiny Tim,dancing on his grave- even though he wasn't gay.)
	5:00pm mariano: @Steve: yes! Diamanda could do Plague Mass in its entirety!
	5:03pm coelacanth: Okay i admit i'm glad he's dead. This will be an interesting party. And yes,we must invite anita. She'll have such a good time.
	5:04pm marmalade kitty: how do you know he wasn't gay, coelacanth?
	5:04pm nic: love elaine radigue !!!
	5:06pm Rory: Fred Phelps was totally gay. Loved that last set Fabio!
	5:10pm coelacanth: marmalade kitty- i don't know,and should've said "i think";but i vaguely remember John Lennon saying he was not.(though i dont remember the circumstances)...And he was married to women,though that's not proof either,i know.
	5:11pm mariano: Fabio, you sound so outraged!
	5:11pm JakeGould: Okay folks, you know what? Even Fred Phelps kids don’t care that he is dead. They should bury him the same way they did Obama: Just toss him in the ocean. Fuck him & move on with life. First day of spring, YO!
	5:11pm Cecile: OH! Play some Slayer!
	5:12pm Chris from DC: What Cecile said.
	5:12pm Cecile: pssst Jake, you mean Osama?
	5:12pm JakeGould: Whoops, I meant to type OSAMA!!!! PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!!! ACCCCK!!!!!
	5:12pm glenn: tiny tim wasn't gay. he wasn't that tiny, either.
	5:13pm chocolate monk: re: phelps, he might be gone, but its good to stick it into the craw of his VILE family.
	5:13pm Carmichael: You mean "Osama" I hope, Jake. Or do you?
	5:13pm JakeGould: OSAMA BIN LADEN! FRED PHELPS SHOULD BE BURIED LIKE OSAMA BIN LADEN!!! SORRY FOR THE MIXUP!!!!!
	5:14pm Carmichael: Judas Priest should wail at Phelps' funeral.
	5:14pm Cecile: but what about the poor fishes?
	5:15pm Chris from DC: Digging this Courtis Moore in the meantime.
	5:15pm Mark: Cool that you played some Stooges earlier.
	5:16pm marmalade kitty: John Lennon knew tiny tim wasn't gay??
	5:16pm JakeGould: Nathan Phelps… You really have to give the guy respect… His father is a piece of shit but at least he’s speaking out against Fred. www.cbc.ca...
	5:16pm northguineahills: I don't celebrate death. I also don't have a fuck to give. The more we ignore his existence, the better. (Phelps)
	5:17pm glenn: "leave fred. take the canolli"
	5:17pm Cecile: At least three of those kids snuck out of the Phelps famly under cover of darkness. And nobody followed them...
	5:18pm JakeGould: I feel bad for those kids. Can you imagine having a fuckwad like that as your father?
	5:19pm Mike East: what ngh said.
	5:20pm Bjornscht: Am enjoying this track in the name of the vernal equinox
	5:23pm V Priceless: @ glen - haha
	👻 5:26pm Rev. Turnip Druid: First time I ever saw or heard of Phelps' creatures, I was working close to the US Capitol in 2006 & used to take lunch walks around the compound. One day about six of 'em were out with the hate signs, trying to raise a stink. Shrieking that "god" is killing our troops overseas because he wasn't digging Brokeback Mountain (?!!?) -- As much noise as they made, nobody gave a shit. I love this town sometimes...
	5:27pm mariano: Sorry, Jake, too late! You have blasphemed our president and will now be forced to marry into the Phelps clan.
	5:30pm coelacanth: m-kitty -I dont know if John could've positively "known" that,but he was close with Tiny Tim. I think if Tiny Tim knew if he was gay or not,Lennon probably knew as well.
	5:33pm marmalade kitty: sorry, I was thinking Charles Dickens Tiny Tim :P
	5:35pm tom: charles dikens' tiny tim was gay?
	5:35pm coelacanth: That's funny! I considered that,but didn't know how to differentiate.
	5:36pm Santos L Halper: @ mkitty: God bless us everyone!
	5:37pm coelacanth: tom- Well he was pretty cheerful,considering...
	5:37pm glenn: charles dickens was gay?
	5:38pm Cecile: I like the Christmas Carol with Alastair Sims. I never saw it until this year, but it was awesome.
	5:38pm mariano: Sure, Dickens was gay -- in the Victorian sense!
	5:38pm coelacanth: Marvin Gaye sang like the Dickens.
	👻 5:38pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Many chickens are gay. Maybe.
	5:38pm tom: david copperfeild is gay?
	5:39pm coelacanth: David Gray's a cop ,in the field?
	5:39pm nic: yeah she's great
	5:40pm tim from champaign: No, David Copperfield is a magician, tom. This threads getting me all confused. So John Lennon was Tiny Tim?
	5:41pm coelacanth: I never heard Lennon was tiny,tim.
	5:41pm Cecile: No. and neither was Jinx Lennon.
	5:42pm Cecile: Is this Neubaten? It sounds lke a school fight song of a school I really want to go to.
	5:42pm marmalade kitty: How do we know?
	5:42pm Bjornscht: I was thinking EN too
	5:43pm Andrew Waterloo: yah, that's Neubauten
	5:43pm Andrew Waterloo: I'm singing along here
	5:43pm glenn: oh man. was evahbody gay?
	5:44pm tim from champaign: David Copperfield played the magic flute in Einsterzende Neubauten.
	5:44pm Cecile: Can you imagine the cheerleaders at Einsturzende Neubaten University?
	5:45pm tim from champaign: Or maybe it was Doug Henning? I get those guys confused. Fabio is to David Copperfield as Clay Pigeon is to Doug Henning.
	5:46pm Andrew Waterloo: I can imagine a team of hyperactive people with shopping carts
	5:46pm Guido (Cologne): Pretty Much Peter Thomas this here.
	5:47pm coelacanth: Cecile -I'm trying.
	5:48pm Cecile: I'd like to think they'd combine the grace of Claudia Schiffer with the fashion sense of African-reggae era Nina Hagen
	5:49pm glenn: doug henning was the canadian, david copperfield was the good magician.
	5:50pm Cecile: and Bill Bixby played "the magician" in the TV show.
	5:51pm Rory: Hobo Sonn!
	5:52pm nic: super
	5:53pm chocolate monk: hobo sonn is from brighton, uk, man!
	5:53pm tom: i liked the sow when bill bixby pulled himself out of a hat and he was lou ferrigno
	5:53pm chocolate monk: think you met him at COoS
	5:53pm mariano: Saw Doug Henning around 1981, when I was 12, on a trip to Vegas with my parents. Also saw Tony Orlando.
	5:53pm chocolate monk: he looks like Bukowski, smeels like burroughs.
	5:54pm Jonathan Herweg: I definitely don't know how to pronounce it, but I'll play it!
	5:54pm davex: "Five on the Richter scale, with no upward limit"
	5:55pm Guido (Cologne): The scale is opeten to upper values
	5:55pm Cecile: Collapsing New Buildlings
	5:55pm Guido (Cologne): Collapsing new Buildings
	5:55pm mariano: Means the sound of new buildings collapsing or something, right? Guido?
	5:55pm Marcel M: It means collapsing new buildings. Hence the NEU
	5:55pm glenn: inward collapsing new buildings.
	5:55pm Torbjørn: Some guys from Munchen told me that the proper translation for Einsturzende would be "Destroying new buildings from within"
	5:56pm coelacanth: There's a version of "ich bins" on boobtube by a 3-piece child band. It's interesting. VERY interesting!
	5:56pm Guido (Cologne): Not sound included in the name. It was ironic. New Buildings are post war buildings but tend to be ugly.
	5:56pm Cecile: yeah, in your Jesus and Mary Chain phase, fabs
	5:56pm Jonathan Herweg: Ministry is the led zeppelin of industrial.
	5:57pm Guido (Cologne): Ugly 50ies 60ies style Buidings. You kinda wish they would collapse.
	5:57pm mariano: Ministry would be like the industrial Zep, no?
	5:58pm glenn: yeah, the marshall plan was long on quantity and short on quality.
	5:58pm Guido (Cologne): ... and Corruption and shoddy made unfinished buidlings collapse at the time in Berlin.
	5:58pm coelacanth: "child medieval band" or something. (i'd put a link if i knew how.)
	6:00pm dale: hey kids. don't eat meat anymore but would eat fish constantly - except i feel like it's all poisoned
	9:10am 118664: Cecile: even though Kenny G's playlist says "Loose", it was T.V. Eye.

	3:21pm SeanG: LOOSE
	3:21pm tim from champaign: I'm really glad I got to see the reformed Stooges at Pine Knob outside of Detroit. It was one of their first US reunion shows. The show originally was going to happen on the day of the huge Eastern Seaboard blackout. The joke was that the Stooges blew the fuse during their sound check.
	3:22pm LOOSE: I love this shit.
	3:22pm Bjornscht: G'damm, I'm dancing double-time, the giant way over here, I'm acromegalic
	3:22pm Cecile: I never did get to see them. Them's the break. Loose, right on.
	3:22pm Rock Action: Long Live The Stooges!
	3:27pm MenfussMike: thanks for the stooges and thank you Scott Asheton. feel lucky i got the chance to see them play 4 times.
	3:28pm common: yea, thanks for the tribute, fabio. never, ever gets old.
	3:31pm Bjornscht: Godamm rock n roll emergency
	3:31pm Jack: Thanks Fabio! Thank you Scott Asheton for it all. The Stooges were the first band I ever saw, in 1969 their NY debut (with the MC5 and David Peel) Words still can't describe it, but it blew my mind and changed my life forever. I was 16 years old.
	3:32pm MenfussMike: ;-) Jack
	3:33pm Ike: Someone (Kenny G.?) once played different takes of "T.V. Eye" for an hour. (Or three hours?) I'm still kinda traumatized by that. Much better than any trendy top-40 stunting though.
	3:33pm Bjornscht: Bummer though that Igg did that Ke$ha nonsense
	3:34pm Cecile: It was Loose.
	3:35pm Cecile: Or at least that's what I remember.
	3:35pm Cecile: I could be remembering wrong.
	3:36pm common: @jack: that's awesome!
	3:36pm Greg from VA: Thanks Fabio for starting your show with tribute to Scott Asheton. I weaned my rock and roll memories seeing the Stooges and MC5 play in Detroit in the late 60's and early 70's. Scott was the driving rhythmic force behind the Stooges relentless pre-punk sounds, seeing them was like stepping into a space ship and landing on planet Punk when everyone else was doing the Hippy Dance Love In, totally unreal and unrelenting, something visceral which hit you right down to the center of your bones, bodily fluids and soul, leaving you a totally person then the one who entered the concert hall!!!!
	3:36pm r i s k y: Thanks Fabio! This is grand!
	3:39pm coelacanth: By drugs you mean "preservatives",right?
	3:39pm Greg from VA: I meant to say that the Stooges left you a totally different person then the one who entered the concert hall.
	3:40pm coelacanth: Were they ahead of their time,or was the majority lagging behind?
	3:40pm Dean: Tribute to Cecile's memory: https://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/29921
	3:42pm Cecile: Steve McKaye or McKay
	3:43pm kimgland: STEVE MCKAYE
	3:43pm Cecile: I can't remember the spelling. My brain is starting to slow up.
	3:43pm MenfussMike: i saw the stooges for the first time at Little Stevens Underground Fest at Randall's Island. The day was filled with a slew of great bands, but when The Stooges came on I completely forgot about what I had seen and realized I was seeing one of the greatest rock n roll bands ever....and i was there. They exceeded all expectations.
	3:44pm coelacanth: Also ahead of their time. (the monks)
	3:45pm common: @coelacanth: indeed!
	3:47pm V Priceless: Ubu! Great track!
	3:47pm Greg from VA: Coelacanth, I think the Stooges were innovators in term of stripping rock and roll down to it's essentials, then adding a raw emotional energy that others were not yet showing on stage, Iggy wriggling on the floor, tearing off his cloths, cutting himself, jumping into the audience, getting into fights, climbing into the balcony, all the while the band played on,... so in that sense, they were a little ahead of their time.
	3:47pm Lulu: oh this is fun!
	👻 3:48pm Rev. Turnip Druid: always dug this ubu
	3:48pm V Priceless: hauntingly beautiful this, "Codex"
	3:49pm Chris from DC: Brilliant song.
	👻 3:49pm Rev. Turnip Druid: something about it always struck me as the drunken lovechild of ubu & snakefinger
	3:49pm steve: did any member of Monks go on to any other projects? i remember looking a while ago, and think the answer was no... or at least, i didn't find much.
	3:51pm Cecile: they mostly retired from the music biz.
	3:52pm Cheri Pi: Woa, the Ubu
	3:54pm common: i did get to see pere ubu in the 90s. no stooges, however.
	3:54pm coelacanth: Greg from VA Yes you're definitely right.
	3:58pm mike in portland: how about some fred phelps music?
	3:58pm coelacanth: The timing wasn't right for me to see the Stooges,but i don't know how i never saw Pere Ubu in their prime.(while I was in MY prime,& seeing tons of bands.)
	4:02pm V Priceless: Ubu were (and still are) a great live rock & roll band! DT only remaining original member, but the original band that recorded "Modern Dance" are still around in some way, shape or form doing other stuff.
	4:04pm tim from champaign: Here's some suggestions for a Fred Phelps tribute: "Satan Is Real", "It's Raining Men" and "I'm at the Bookstore" by the Dicks.
	4:04pm coelacanth: I'm sorry freddie moved on from his hell...He was amusing,and served to make whatever he believed seem ludicrous.
	4:05pm DCE: he wasn't amusing to whoever he felt like taunting, you can bet on that. fuck the guy.
	4:05pm steve: dam, that was so funky
	4:05pm glenn: fuck fred phelps, and the horse he rode in on.
	4:06pm coelacanth: (...on the other hand- "Glad to see you go go go go,goodbye".)
	4:06pm glenn: speaking of italian pop. my g.f. dragged me off to see zucchero last week, and it was pretty damn great.
	4:09pm coelacanth: DCE yes true,for a long time...But for the last few years i don't think people took him very seriously. ...I know,when they protested MY town,"we"(i wasn't there) just laughed at them. They left quite unfulfilled.
	4:11pm mariano: Fred Phelps tribute you say?!? Lots of Queen, of course, Village People, Communards, Bronski Beat, The Homosexuals, Homo Picnic (if just for the names), and, to include female groups, Tribe 8, Bikini Kill, Seven Year Bitch... though for some reason Phelps had it in for "fags," don't recall seeing lotsa "God Hates Dykes" signs, though I could be wrong, I'm sure he hated them all.
	4:15pm cklequ: I think pretty much everything WFMU plays is a Fred Phelps tribute. Except maybe a choice few songs on Sinner's Crossroads (but even that might be a stretch). That guy hated everybody
	4:15pm coelacanth: mariano -awesome!...(also Tom Robinson Band,Smiths-?,Gay Bikers On Acid...)
	4:15pm Andrew Waterloo: Don't forget Ru Paul and Divine.
	4:17pm tim from champaign: I have to wonder if Phelps was closeted himself. One can't spew that much hate without having a lot of internal hate. Hopefully, no one in his group will take up his baton. Agreed, cklequ. FMU is everything that morons like Phelps are against. FMU is still standing and he's not.
	4:19pm mariano: @tim: "Hopefully, no one in his group will take up his baton." Ew, ew eeeeewwww!!!
	4:19pm steve: even if he's not closeted, im sure a psychiatrist would have had a field day studying him.
	4:19pm Carmichael: The only reason I'm sad about Phelps' passing is that I will not have the opportunity to kill him myself. Bet he's not enjoying himself right about now, with all that eternal damnation shit goin' on around him.
	4:20pm coelacanth: tim... He probably was,but it was so deep he'd never even crack that door...Probably didn't even realise it himself.
	4:24pm Ike: Patton Oswalt on Phelps in 2007: www.spin.com...
	4:25pm Mott: Drekka's songwriting really evolving on this track...
	4:29pm tim from champaign: There's something really great about the sound of tape manipulation.
	4:30pm nic: i totally loved the last piece
	4:31pm Mott: Drekka's dayjob is at a mortuary..
	4:32pm common: thanks for the link, ike!
	4:33pm Cecile: Other Phelps tribute bands King's X Tom Robinson Band Sylvester Patrick Cowley Ten City Cecil Taylor Scissor Sisters Pauline Oliveros Labi Sifre The Dicks
	4:35pm Cecile: well, patrick cowley is kind of dead, so der.
	4:36pm Dean: Voice Farm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tyl8oVlost8
	4:36pm Cecile: and so is Sylvester. But you can play their music!
	4:36pm Mott: Drekka's follow up album was not as upbeat...
	4:40pm V Priceless: anybody add The Queers to the list yet? : )
	4:41pm Cecile: pansy division
	4:41pm coelacanth: -And i don't know if Gay Bikers On Acid has homosexual members or not,but i think fred would've liked them just for the name. Also a Sleater-Kinney reunion.
	4:42pm V Priceless: ha!
	👻 4:42pm Rev. Turnip Druid: this sound...
	4:42pm V Priceless: Jonathan King?
	4:43pm common: judas priest?
	4:45pm Carmichael: Cycle Sluts from Hell?
	4:48pm marmalade kitty: trapped in a gay bar forever and ever.. until he finds true love
	4:49pm glenn: the bunch of fucking goofs, who are only known in toronto, but the name is evocative of the westboro baptist morons.
	4:50pm Chris from DC: Anyone mention Big Boys?
	4:52pm Cecile: Yeah, big boys Husker Du
	4:52pm V Priceless: Jonathan Richman dancing in a lesbian bar?
	4:53pm steve: in addition to the gay bands, i say Diamanda Galas should play his funeral
	4:53pm common: good ones, chris, ceceile and v.
	👻 4:54pm Rev. Turnip Druid: actually i think Steve nailed it. All we need is Diamanda to play the funeral, and the balance of energy will be restored.
	4:54pm glenn: oh. hidden cameras. they're all gay.
	4:55pm coelacanth: steve Absolutely!
	4:55pm Cecile: Johnny Dangerous
	4:55pm common: good call steve, rev!
	4:55pm Cecile: Cazwell
	4:55pm V Priceless: can we "drag" Anita Bryant, kicking and screaming?
	4:55pm coelacanth: -but preceded by electric 6. ("gay bar")
	4:58pm coelacanth: (& maybe the ghost of Tiny Tim,dancing on his grave- even though he wasn't gay.)
	5:00pm mariano: @Steve: yes! Diamanda could do Plague Mass in its entirety!
	5:03pm coelacanth: Okay i admit i'm glad he's dead. This will be an interesting party. And yes,we must invite anita. She'll have such a good time.
	5:04pm marmalade kitty: how do you know he wasn't gay, coelacanth?
	5:04pm nic: love elaine radigue !!!
	5:06pm Rory: Fred Phelps was totally gay. Loved that last set Fabio!
	5:10pm coelacanth: marmalade kitty- i don't know,and should've said "i think";but i vaguely remember John Lennon saying he was not.(though i dont remember the circumstances)...And he was married to women,though that's not proof either,i know.
	5:11pm mariano: Fabio, you sound so outraged!
	5:11pm JakeGould: Okay folks, you know what? Even Fred Phelps kids don’t care that he is dead. They should bury him the same way they did Obama: Just toss him in the ocean. Fuck him & move on with life. First day of spring, YO!
	5:11pm Cecile: OH! Play some Slayer!
	5:12pm Chris from DC: What Cecile said.
	5:12pm Cecile: pssst Jake, you mean Osama?
	5:12pm JakeGould: Whoops, I meant to type OSAMA!!!! PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!!! ACCCCK!!!!!
	5:12pm glenn: tiny tim wasn't gay. he wasn't that tiny, either.
	5:13pm chocolate monk: re: phelps, he might be gone, but its good to stick it into the craw of his VILE family.
	5:13pm Carmichael: You mean "Osama" I hope, Jake. Or do you?
	5:13pm JakeGould: OSAMA BIN LADEN! FRED PHELPS SHOULD BE BURIED LIKE OSAMA BIN LADEN!!! SORRY FOR THE MIXUP!!!!!
	5:14pm Carmichael: Judas Priest should wail at Phelps' funeral.
	5:14pm Cecile: but what about the poor fishes?
	5:15pm Chris from DC: Digging this Courtis Moore in the meantime.
	5:15pm Mark: Cool that you played some Stooges earlier.
	5:16pm marmalade kitty: John Lennon knew tiny tim wasn't gay??
	5:16pm JakeGould: Nathan Phelps… You really have to give the guy respect… His father is a piece of shit but at least he’s speaking out against Fred. www.cbc.ca...
	5:16pm northguineahills: I don't celebrate death. I also don't have a fuck to give. The more we ignore his existence, the better. (Phelps)
	5:17pm glenn: "leave fred. take the canolli"
	5:17pm Cecile: At least three of those kids snuck out of the Phelps famly under cover of darkness. And nobody followed them...
	5:18pm JakeGould: I feel bad for those kids. Can you imagine having a fuckwad like that as your father?
	5:19pm Mike East: what ngh said.
	5:20pm Bjornscht: Am enjoying this track in the name of the vernal equinox
	5:23pm V Priceless: @ glen - haha
	👻 5:26pm Rev. Turnip Druid: First time I ever saw or heard of Phelps' creatures, I was working close to the US Capitol in 2006 & used to take lunch walks around the compound. One day about six of 'em were out with the hate signs, trying to raise a stink. Shrieking that "god" is killing our troops overseas because he wasn't digging Brokeback Mountain (?!!?) -- As much noise as they made, nobody gave a shit. I love this town sometimes...
	5:27pm mariano: Sorry, Jake, too late! You have blasphemed our president and will now be forced to marry into the Phelps clan.
	5:30pm coelacanth: m-kitty -I dont know if John could've positively "known" that,but he was close with Tiny Tim. I think if Tiny Tim knew if he was gay or not,Lennon probably knew as well.
	5:33pm marmalade kitty: sorry, I was thinking Charles Dickens Tiny Tim :P
	5:35pm tom: charles dikens' tiny tim was gay?
	5:35pm coelacanth: That's funny! I considered that,but didn't know how to differentiate.
	5:36pm Santos L Halper: @ mkitty: God bless us everyone!
	5:37pm coelacanth: tom- Well he was pretty cheerful,considering...
	5:37pm glenn: charles dickens was gay?
	5:38pm Cecile: I like the Christmas Carol with Alastair Sims. I never saw it until this year, but it was awesome.
	5:38pm mariano: Sure, Dickens was gay -- in the Victorian sense!
	5:38pm coelacanth: Marvin Gaye sang like the Dickens.
	👻 5:38pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Many chickens are gay. Maybe.
	5:38pm tom: david copperfeild is gay?
	5:39pm coelacanth: David Gray's a cop ,in the field?
	5:39pm nic: yeah she's great
	5:40pm tim from champaign: No, David Copperfield is a magician, tom. This threads getting me all confused. So John Lennon was Tiny Tim?
	5:41pm coelacanth: I never heard Lennon was tiny,tim.
	5:41pm Cecile: No. and neither was Jinx Lennon.
	5:42pm Cecile: Is this Neubaten? It sounds lke a school fight song of a school I really want to go to.
	5:42pm marmalade kitty: How do we know?
	5:42pm Bjornscht: I was thinking EN too
	5:43pm Andrew Waterloo: yah, that's Neubauten
	5:43pm Andrew Waterloo: I'm singing along here
	5:43pm glenn: oh man. was evahbody gay?
	5:44pm tim from champaign: David Copperfield played the magic flute in Einsterzende Neubauten.
	5:44pm Cecile: Can you imagine the cheerleaders at Einsturzende Neubaten University?
	5:45pm tim from champaign: Or maybe it was Doug Henning? I get those guys confused. Fabio is to David Copperfield as Clay Pigeon is to Doug Henning.
	5:46pm Andrew Waterloo: I can imagine a team of hyperactive people with shopping carts
	5:46pm Guido (Cologne): Pretty Much Peter Thomas this here.
	5:47pm coelacanth: Cecile -I'm trying.
	5:48pm Cecile: I'd like to think they'd combine the grace of Claudia Schiffer with the fashion sense of African-reggae era Nina Hagen
	5:49pm glenn: doug henning was the canadian, david copperfield was the good magician.
	5:50pm Cecile: and Bill Bixby played "the magician" in the TV show.
	5:51pm Rory: Hobo Sonn!
	5:52pm nic: super
	5:53pm chocolate monk: hobo sonn is from brighton, uk, man!
	5:53pm tom: i liked the sow when bill bixby pulled himself out of a hat and he was lou ferrigno
	5:53pm chocolate monk: think you met him at COoS
	5:53pm mariano: Saw Doug Henning around 1981, when I was 12, on a trip to Vegas with my parents. Also saw Tony Orlando.
	5:53pm chocolate monk: he looks like Bukowski, smeels like burroughs.
	5:54pm Jonathan Herweg: I definitely don't know how to pronounce it, but I'll play it!
	5:54pm davex: "Five on the Richter scale, with no upward limit"
	5:55pm Guido (Cologne): The scale is opeten to upper values
	5:55pm Cecile: Collapsing New Buildlings
	5:55pm Guido (Cologne): Collapsing new Buildings
	5:55pm mariano: Means the sound of new buildings collapsing or something, right? Guido?
	5:55pm Marcel M: It means collapsing new buildings. Hence the NEU
	5:55pm glenn: inward collapsing new buildings.
	5:55pm Torbjørn: Some guys from Munchen told me that the proper translation for Einsturzende would be "Destroying new buildings from within"
	5:56pm coelacanth: There's a version of "ich bins" on boobtube by a 3-piece child band. It's interesting. VERY interesting!
	5:56pm Guido (Cologne): Not sound included in the name. It was ironic. New Buildings are post war buildings but tend to be ugly.
	5:56pm Cecile: yeah, in your Jesus and Mary Chain phase, fabs
	5:56pm Jonathan Herweg: Ministry is the led zeppelin of industrial.
	5:57pm Guido (Cologne): Ugly 50ies 60ies style Buidings. You kinda wish they would collapse.
	5:57pm mariano: Ministry would be like the industrial Zep, no?
	5:58pm glenn: yeah, the marshall plan was long on quantity and short on quality.
	5:58pm Guido (Cologne): ... and Corruption and shoddy made unfinished buidlings collapse at the time in Berlin.
	5:58pm coelacanth: "child medieval band" or something. (i'd put a link if i knew how.)
	6:00pm dale: hey kids. don't eat meat anymore but would eat fish constantly - except i feel like it's all poisoned
	9:10am 118664: Cecile: even though Kenny G's playlist says "Loose", it was T.V. Eye.
