WFMU: Strength Through Failure with Fabio: Playlist from March 12, 2015

Listener comments!
	3:05pm Ken: I entered a period into Fabio's playlist to activate it.
	3:05pm V Priceless: Hey Fabio! Hey William! Hey All! We will NOT fail today! Woo!
	3:06pm DCE: good work Ken! Fabio vs the world, round 1
	3:06pm Ike: Groovy, Ken. Wm. Berger is going to have to work hard to be as hilarious as he was w/Herweg the other night.
	3:06pm cory: Failing at work today
	3:07pm Cecile: hola!
	3:07pm r i s k y: "."
	3:07pm JakeGould: Yeah, what Ike said… The Bro-mance between Berger and Herweg the other night was “They need a show together!”-worthy.
	3:07pm Caryn: Oh look, Giant Man sung by Koivistolaiset, with the lead sung by Kai Lind. Kai Lind's best known band here, with Lind doing the lead: www.youtube.com...
	3:08pm r i s k y: Funrazor
	3:09pm Bronwyn C.: Wlm. Berger's show and Fabio's show were my dual gateway shows to WFMU, back in ... 1985? That's worth my pledge, for sure!
	3:10pm Cecile: caryn, I probably went to school with some 3-cousins once removed of them in the UP.
	3:12pm Marc: No Clay Pigeon as co-host? :(
	3:12pm Cecile: you can read my damn name.
	3:12pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): Now your talking! Fabio and William Burger!
	3:13pm dale: marc - no jazz cigarettes during this all important time.
	3:13pm steve: Marc - Clay's joining Fabio next week
	3:14pm Ike: Awesome, Bronwyn C. These guys were early shows for me too, in 1993, though my original gateway was Dave Mandl. BTW, I wish I could hear some Truckstop Tea Party archives since that was before my time.
	3:14pm joe: @ bronwyn c you were mine
	3:15pm d¢ pät: SMKen was mine--he had me at "YOU ARE MEDDLING WITH THE PRIMAL ORDER OF NATURE, SCOTT WILLIAMS!!!!"
	3:16pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): I have been listening to Fabio and tony colter for almost 25 years. I miss William burger on Sunday's after midnight
	3:16pm dale: de nada fabio. one of the best three hours on the telefunken.
	3:16pm DCE: Wyoming is desolate and beautiful, and there are geysers in the northwest!
	3:16pm Cecile: Would you be a Midianite?
	3:16pm joe: yes old faithful is in Wy
	3:17pm mushroomjesus: kuln
	3:17pm Tony: Yes the geysers are in Yellowstone, which is mostly in WY. Went there last year for the first time and it was amazing. Everyone should see that at least once in their lifetime.
	3:18pm P-90: @ Bronwyn C: Those are some good "gateways".
	3:19pm ted: that was an AMAZING Scottish accent Fabio
	3:20pm Cecile: I like them both.
	3:21pm dale: i was listening to novalis and jane yesterday. old krautrock is der best
	3:21pm sphere: hello all. Fabio is naming folks who assigned part of their Swag For Life pledge to him. very nice!
	3:21pm joe: Salem is capital...come on I'm fact checking instead of answering phones.
	👻 3:21pm chris: ja, dale!
	3:21pm Bronwyn C.: @joe: <3 !
	3:22pm Polyus: How did Fabio manage to pick Stacy Lattisaw out of the air?
	3:23pm Ken: My gateway shows: the Vanilla Bean, Jim Price and Irwin. My anti-gateway show was JM in the AM then called the Hebrew and Jewish Program. Whenever it came on, I became convinced that I had imagined this amazing radio at 91.1.
	3:23pm JakeGould: “The Grand Wizard of Wrestling” en.wikipedia.org...
	3:23pm P-90: CAN! funny, I was just having a chat with a music journalist friend of mine yesterday, he was a very early champion of Can, I was saying that as diverse as the programming and tastes of the listeners of WFMU are, Can stands out as an across-the-board favorite.
	3:23pm Bronwyn C.: Fabio and Wlm. Berger doing some Sportsy Talking!
	3:23pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): Hey I remember the grand wizard! And Ivan putski the polish power
	3:23pm Cecile: the Iron Sheik! Baron von Raschke!
	3:23pm Dean: Novalis and Jane. That brings back memories. Eloy, Release Music Orchestra, and (not Kraut, but good prog) Secret Oyster.
	3:24pm d¢ pät: remember when we use to call football "soccer"??? Hahaha, what a joke.
	3:25pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): Jimmy super fly Snuka George the animal Steele The mad Samoans
	3:26pm P-90: I LiKE the term "vinyl player", it's cool.
	3:26pm JakeGould: Is there a way to check out the program grids from like 1992 to 1995? Those were the years I first got into the station. No specific shows I can recall.
	3:27pm mushroomjesus: Saw Gary Wilson last year in Austin. Creepy show.
	3:27pm dale: sometimes i still think i need to turn the tv on five minutes before a show so the set warms up.
	3:27pm Cecile: we used to call our former crappy record player the vinyl grinder.
	3:28pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): @jakegould I found wfmu way way back in 1987 greatest discovery I eve made on radio.
	3:28pm steve: yayyy Gary Wilson
	3:28pm Dean: Dude is singing about this: https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQno7CqfdD4sAoOPn2SgFJIb64bAgq8zJu3nogNrCIQ1YdmYZDIvg
	3:28pm Ralphine: The first Thunk Tank and Glen Jones were the first WFMU shows I heard. I AltaVista-ed WFMU after I read about it in the New York Times. So I owe it all to the Times.
	3:28pm Cecile: I knew about FMU since the mid-80s when Rob Weisberg wrote me about it. But I didn't start listening frequently until 2004 on the intertubes.
	3:28pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): I remember when they were part of Uppsala College
	3:29pm joe: the original sheik.
	3:29pm Cecile: Diane, Joe Belock and Brian Turner were my gateway shows.
	3:29pm Ike: @Jake, some of those grids are in old issues of LCD that are floating around at the station. One time when I was volunteering, I showed one of the grids to Bronwyn and she found it really hilarious for some reason that I can't remember now.
	3:30pm steve: i think i first discovered The Best Show and the Ed Shepp Radio Experiment (early/mid 2000s?) but Fabio and Bryce were my early (and still) favs
	3:30pm YETI BOB: this show is SO educational!
	3:31pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): Does anyone remember Hova
	👻 3:31pm chris: pronounced "skwim", i believe
	3:32pm d¢ pät: DYLAN was WELSH!!
	3:32pm JakeGould: 1992 was the year I moved to my own place in Park Slope so I could properly pick up WFMU. Prior to that I lived in Brighton Beach and could only sporadically pick it up. Did have clear access to Kingsborough Community College radio which I barely remember listening to. And WBAI was sane and solvent back then.
	3:32pm d¢ pät: joke.
	3:33pm JakeGould: In 1992 it always seemed weird to me that Upsala College would have a station like WFMU. But hey, I never heard of Upsala College before WFMU so what do I know?
	3:33pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): Tony Coulter and Pat Duncan on Thursdays with live in studio bands
	3:33pm Dean: Skimming a compilation of LCD work published in 2008 via Amazon "Look Inside," I see Ellery Eskelin and Nick Tosches wrote for it.
	3:33pm P-90: @Cecile: I listened in the 80's too, at that time FMU was aert of a trio of college stations, along with WKCR and WFUV, that were almost the only alternatives to commercial programming (the less said about WBAI, the better.) But the station didn't yet have its 'identity" as we know it today, that came in the early 90's, as noted by others above.
	3:34pm Ken Weaver: MY TWO FAVORITE DJs. ON TOGETHER!!! Hope you got my pledge, love ya' Guys!
	3:35pm Bronwyn C.: If I hadn't already pledged, I would pledge just for Wlm. Berger saying "Das Widget"!
	3:36pm JakeGould: FWIW, WBAI back in the 1980s/early-1990s was tolerable for a few shows. But only a few. A few. A small number.
	3:36pm GGG: don't forget WNYU as a premier college radio alternative in NYC area, especially during those 90s years.
	3:36pm Walt: The black with rainbow color sticker resembles the Brunswick label frim the 1950s-1960s. Brunswick was a Decca subsidiary, though.
	3:36pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): I remember so far back in WFMU that they use to cover the Uppsala college basketball team on their airwaves
	3:36pm joe: I think there maybe some in the best of lcd which is available as a warehouse pick for a mouse of today or more.
	3:37pm GGG: love seeing all the Pat Duncan reminiscences too, miss his show and all the live bands.
	3:37pm JakeGould: Regular chickens www.youtube.com...
	3:38pm Bronwyn C.: @Ralphine: The idea that you discovered Thunk Tank via the NYTimes is making my head explode.
	3:39pm Robert: Many's the time I've been the only one in the theater laughing at a point in a movie or play. Once I had people in the row in front of me turn & glare at me.
	3:39pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): @jakegould I use to listen to WBAI as well. And they did have some shows worth listening to like sounds of the city with Dennis Coleman and carrier wave with Sydney Smith
	3:39pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): Earth watch with Robert knight
	3:39pm r i s k y: "I wasn't in an altered state... My state is New Jersey". Fucking Fantastic, Wm.
	3:40pm mushroomjesus: I laughed at the end of Titanic in the theater. I thought I was going to get mobbed.
	3:40pm P-90: @Ralphine & Bronwyn: I'm really thrown by that NY Times/WFMU "gateway" story too
	3:41pm Caryn: @mushroomjesus: well, that whole movie is such ridiculous trash that laughter is the only sensible response.
	3:42pm JakeGould: I actually still like some WBAI shows and the hosts seem nice. But I stopped listening to them a few years back after realizing I should have stopped listening to them even further back. The toxicity of WBAI makes the hosts just sound like they are constantly under siege. Not naming specific shows because I don’t even want to touch that.
	3:42pm Ken Weaver: WOW, LOVE THIS TRACK!!!!!
	3:44pm DCE: keep screaming!
	3:44pm JakeGould: Which is to say, blah blah… I give WFMU my money and support. And a hug if it needs it.
	3:44pm P-90: Wbai was fun in the 60's and 70's. After that: decline, decline, decline.
	3:45pm dale: wsou in staten island is good if you're a metal head
	3:45pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): @jakegould in my misspent youth I listened to WBAI non stop in the 80's I know who your talking about. Those toxic hosts drove me away from WBAI in 88-89
	3:45pm Caryn: The "only some people laugh" thing at movies reminds me of how John Waters said he could look at an audience watching one of his early movies and tell at certain points who in the audience were gay and who were not, because all the gay people would laugh at a specific line and the others wouldn't. I've seen that idea in action only once at a screening of You Can't Stop The Music during Gay Pride Week.
	3:46pm Andrew Waterloo: Thanks to noise cancelling headphones I forgot I was in a room full of people when I burst out laughing at eraserhead dialogue.
	3:46pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): WNYU was the place for INDIE WSOU was the home of metal or hair bands is what they call it today
	3:46pm Ralphine: I only clicked on a link to listen to a Thunk Tank sample because the name of the show struck me funny, and the link to a sample of Jones and Burns said they were a couple of Jersey fat boys.
	3:47pm mushroomjesus: Failure to Forgive
	3:47pm kimgland: halbe maus spende
	3:47pm DCE: haha, damn! I have great luck with these!
	3:48pm JakeGould: WLIR and WDRE for me in JHS/HS in the 1980s.
	3:50pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): @jakegould I couldn't get WLIR too clearly even on my Sony ghetto blaster
	3:51pm JakeGould: One of the benefits of being in Brighton Beach near Coney Island back then was clear Long Island signals. That and the knishes, boardwalk & skee ball.
	3:51pm BriJet: Hello!!!
	3:51pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): I hate commercials with a passion! Which is why I'll always be a listener 4 life to wfmu and the others left of the dial
	3:56pm Tome: this is great
	3:56pm Caryn: Ignatz II - Electric Boogaloo?
	3:56pm DCE: haha
	3:57pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): Does anyone remember when we had 2 classical music stations on the dial? WQXR and WNCN
	3:58pm Walt: No love for the Kochs here, but in 2008 David H. Koch gave $100 million to renovate the New York State Theater at Lincoln Center for ballet and opera. It's now the Koch Theater.
	3:59pm Robert: When I moved into this apt. in 1986 & couldn't get WFMU unless I went outside, I too listened to a good deal of WLIR/WDRE/WLIR.
	3:59pm common: Fabio!
	4:01pm Mark Williams: my fourth pledge this Fundraiser, because I've slacked too much in recent years. For a variety of reasons, I was reminded of why a station like this matters to me, and a person like Fabio especially. Long live WFMU.
	4:01pm V Priceless: this just in: NASA confirms there's hydrothermal activity, i.e. an ocean, on Jupiter's moon, Ganymede (100 miles below the surface). It also has a thin, but oxygen-rich, atmosphere, apparently. My browser not allowing me to copy and paste link here.
	4:02pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): @robert I had to constantly re arrange my stereos wire antenna hanging on the wall to listen to this and the other college stations it looked like a piece of artwork it was so twisted into many shapes
	4:03pm assaf: Tried to call but lines were busy, so went straight to pledge page donated $100 keep on failing Fab you're FABULOUS
	4:04pm Caryn: @VP: interesting. I assume the liquid ocean is there for the same reason as there's one on Europa: the "kneading" effect Jupiter has during the moon's orbit.
	4:04pm DCE: let's all move to Ganymede!
	4:06pm Ralphine: I can't swim.
	4:08pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): My castle of quiet strength through failure
	4:08pm Tony: What's the goal for this show?
	4:09pm DCE: @ Tony, success
	4:10pm Caryn: Of course, the thin oxygen layer and oceans were known about before, but the layering of the ocean is a new discovery.
	4:11pm coelacanth: olá Fabio and failing comrades
	4:12pm Tony: @DCE: Well they've already made the goal then!
	4:12pm Ike, food nerd: Really more Iselin and Edison than Metuchen
	4:12pm Dean: Props to Mr. Berger for playing Gidim's cassette two or three weeks ago. I contacted the "band" (one guy in Chicago), and bought the cassette. He also burned a CD for me. It's a terrific twelve minutes.
	4:14pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): I'm sure a movie maker will make a movie about NASA sending a probe to Ganymead drilling into the ice and bringing back a sample of the ocean, and then the probe explodes in earths atmosphere and turned everyone on earth into ZOMBIES!!!
	4:14pm βrian: @coelacanth: Cicadian Rhythms! Nice. Is that a wood thrush at the beginning?
	4:16pm βrian: Irwin's right about the musical neurosis thing. I can't stand to read about music, and that's why I'm glad for WFMU.
	4:16pm Polyus: There is a movie about a manned expedition to Europa. No zombies though.
	4:17pm coelacanth: Brian Thank you! i believe it's a thrush, but i don't know what kind.
	4:17pm Robert: I've thought sometimes about what Fabio just said. If there were no radio or Internet, these guys would be doing something like their programs, but just for themselves & a few friends getting together occasionally.
	4:18pm Caryn: Of course, Arthur C. Clarke had both gaseous aliens living on Jupiter and seaweed creatures living in the oceans of Europa in 2010, but the movie ignored those bits.
	4:18pm Stepchild, Metuchenite: Ike, you are so right!
	4:19pm V Priceless: @ Caryn: apparently Callisto has an ocean too, so I'm learning. Fascinating stuff.
	4:19pm Carmichael: Hi everyone. Since we're taking longevity role-call, I have been listening to FMU for almost exactly 20 years.
	👻 4:21pm Rev. Turnip Druid: FOKES! Jeezus I swear to gawd, I'll get my pixel heart ASAP.
	4:21pm Caryn: Speaking of "didn't need to be remade", the Blade Runner reimagining/sequel/whatever is annoying me.
	👻 4:21pm Rev. Turnip Druid: HEY WOW, two of my favorite human beings on earth, co-hostin'!
	4:22pm chocolate monk: it was paul Hession, Fabio
	4:22pm βrian: Say, how long has WFMU been streaming? It never existed before that point — in my particular reality, anyway.
	4:22pm TDK60: Old topic; I still listen to WBAI, depends on the show.
	4:22pm Dean: Cecil Taylor
	4:23pm joe: Steve Noble. http://www.allmusic.com/artist/steve-noble-mn0000784567/biography
	4:23pm northguineahills: @Rev: If the galaxies align correctly, I'll have my heart come May. Things look optimistically in that direction.
	4:24pm Polyus: Pretty much any copy of the Solaris book you find used will have a soft-focus makeout scene from the Soderbergh remake on the cover.
	4:25pm βrian: @NGH: which country must your spouse renounce?
	4:25pm northguineahills: @Brian: I was able to stream a crappy tinny WFMU stream only from my office in FL in 1998 (b/c my apt didn't have the bandwidth).
	4:27pm coelacanth: speaking of wfmu history, i've yet to know of anyone remembering Paul Cavenaugh or "The Immigrant"... they were 2 of my favorites and i have many cassette tapes of those two.
	4:29pm TDK60: I detest those gadgets at concerts. I hate dodging gadget-maniacs on the sidewalk. It's makin' me toxic.
	4:29pm d¢ pät: Here's the best: at museum, everybody, EVERYBODY there, walks up to paintings takes a picture, then walks away without looking at the real thing. I still can't believe I saw people doing this.
	4:30pm northguineahills: @Brian: Mexico, although we're looking into options where we can both get US/Mexican citizenship down the road. It's nice to leave all options available. 1998, damn, I was still an undergrad, a working full time office job for on of my majors.. Now, after grad school 15 years ago, I'm out of work doing odd jobs, that how the dice rolls some times.
	4:30pm βrian: What's with these recidivist pledgers? How do they do it?
	4:31pm Polyus: No kidding, pat. I have seen it at several museums.
	4:31pm common: just saw some a sasha's work at my job today.
	4:32pm GGG: Sasha Grey, fake DJ musician, please...
	4:32pm Ike: eHarmony is crypto-Christian -- bleh!
	4:32pm northguineahills: I cannot into grammar today, yeesh!
	4:32pm Stepchild: I don't remember the year (1984?) when I first listened to WFMU, but I remember the show: Drunken Brawl Music!!
	4:33pm βrian: @common: Really? Are you a GOP staffer?
	4:34pm coelacanth: this year there's no black woof-moo shirt,though, and mine has disappeared.
	4:35pm common: @brian: ha! nah, just work in a porn warehouse.
	4:35pm βrian: "I don't remember the woman's name, and I don't remember the wine. But the radio, ah, the radio was WFMU?"
	4:35pm Caryn: @ngh: no kidding. I had more steady work and better incomes between the ages of 15-27 than I do now. And since you didn't accumulate any pension under the age of 23 in those days, my most lucrative job years didn't accrue me much in the way of a pension. sigh
	4:35pm coelacanth: i never got that! ...KEN!!
	4:36pm common: with you and ngh, caryn.
	4:36pm TDK60: Polyus & DC Pat. True, I was at the Metropolitan Art Museum the other day and saw folks taking quick photos like that. I did take my camera and took some shots of fave paintings. But I also sat there and stared at them for several- -to -15 minutes.
	4:36pm βrian: Brooklyn, Michigan.
	4:36pm conkrete dawg: Brooklyn, GA
	4:39pm joe: @dc pat I have to admit my guilt to taking photos of the Dalis in the met museum of art.
	4:40pm coelacanth: why would someone bother? looking at a photo of a painting is not the same. i think it's analogous to people having enormous song collections in their "devices"- just so they can say they have it. (most people.)
	4:41pm northguineahills: @Caryn: I haven't had a job that actually paid into a pension for the last 5 years (everyone just subcontracts freelancers anymore). I just liquidated my last retirement fund to help pay for a lawyer for our immigration interviews (and, living expenses, since I'm barely working now). That said, my former job from 15 months ago, asked me to interview in two weeks to work on the same project that was defunded. The positive, they offered me more $. Odd coincidence. I did my BA thesis project on predicting lake flooding and drought conditions due to increases in suburbanation on a Lake Brooklyn in Clay County, FL. Two years later, I moved here.
	4:44pm coelacanth: i feel there's nothing wrong with taking pictures of art, so you can reflect on what you've taken in at the museum. that's different than doing it instead of...
	4:44pm joe: mind you I spent a good half hour with each painting before I took the photo.
	👻 4:44pm Rev. Turnip Druid: HA! Coulter was my gateway DJ, in 1997...
	4:45pm Polyus: I get the impression that it tends to be tourists who are trying to see everything they possibly can in the limited time they have. So I can understand where the impulse comes from. That's why I make sure to set aside enough time.
	4:46pm northguineahills: My parents and wife get mad at me for never taking pictures. It's sort of a problem for this immigration interview we have, but my attitude is, if you have a photographic memory, why take pics? Plus, I like the subjectivity my memory colors said pictures.
	4:46pm Cecile: sad news from korea is an old blues song.
	4:47pm Polyus: Or. . .sometimes a piece of art moves you enough that you want to study it further at home, as joe says.
	4:47pm northguineahills: Monica was the first dj I heard live (I believe, the subjectivity of my memory is fuzzy).
	4:47pm Caryn: @ngh: fortunately, whenever I get brief freelance work, I can pay into my pensions. Except when the job is really small. Which is a lot of the time. So my pension statement has a nice list of jobs I don't get a pension for because I was too young, and jobs that I don't get a pension for because the pay was so small. My actual accrued pension is about 25 bucks a month right now! What with those lists, the pension statement is just a slap in the face.
	4:48pm coelacanth: Polyus you're probably right.(on both points) ...and joe is innocent!
	4:51pm Polyus: I did get a kick out of everyone getting their pics taken next to Starry Night at MoMA the one time I was there.
	4:51pm Caryn: I've once asked a relative to take a pic of one particular painting that I loved at a modern art museum in the Netherlands. But I think there's a difference between taking pics of a limited number of works that you really like, and just pointing and clicking your way through a gallery without actually looking at anything.
	4:51pm joe: here is the great Radio Alphabet book that Irwin oversaw the cleaning up of an rebranded for WFMU. https://archive.org/details/radioalphabet00colurich
	4:51pm TDK60: I started with WFMU so long ago, I forgot the names of DJs! Was there a Larry?
	4:53pm Tony: I take pictures of sculptures in museums sometimes since they are 3-dimensional and the context in which they are displayed can make a difference. But I don't get taking pictures of paintings. Surely you can just find a picture online of any famous painting that you would find in a major museum?
	4:54pm Jherweg: I almost died from sleep deprivation after staying up all night with with Berger and then going straight to work for 15 hours....I am dying for WFMU......and i LIKE IT!!
	4:54pm northguineahills: @Caryn: That sounds good! I'm looking into doing just that if everything works out. The working from out of town looked less attractive due to these immigration interviews. Everything was smooth sailing until 3 years ago.
	4:55pm Caryn: I'm a relatively recent WFMU convert. Was first introduced to the station during the Marathon in 2000 or 2001. Patton Oswalt was encouraging people to pledge, so I tuned in, liked what I heard, pledged, and that was it.
	4:55pm coelacanth: i don't recall which names were first for me,but Mr.Berger goes back at least almost as far as i do...he did not do a metal show.
	4:55pm V Priceless: @ Polyus: sometimes a piece of art moves me to the point of wanting to move it out the back door, and directly to a wall at my place! : )
	4:55pm JakeGould: Regarding taking pictures at museums and galleries, I went to a few art fairs in NYC recently. Those things are so crowed sometimes the only way you can ever “make note” of a picture is to take a pic. I’d say for every 10 works I take pics of, 1 or 2 of them I will stop to take it in. The rest are mildly interesting and it’s better to make some note of the work than wonder years later, “What was that one thing?”
	4:56pm JakeGould: Also, most museums ban photos due to rights restrictions. So many times you see people taking quick shots to elude security guards. Very common practice.
	4:57pm Uncle Michael: I have photographed art in museums that's not famous enough to find online..and the exhibit card, for reference. Anything else is a concern for proving you've been there yourself. I hate crowded museums altogether, with or without cameras. Shuffling past art like a cafeteria line...I hate it so much. I only go to small exhibits on weekdays. No more blockbusters for me...ever. With cameras is generally worse. People jockeying for position. Ugh.
	4:57pm JakeGould: I never met a four. But I have met a few eights and nines.
	4:57pm Tony: The first show I remember hearing on WFMU in 1994 was a DJ who has long since left the airwaves. I want to say he went by Jim C. He played mainly instrumentals on his show. Other gateway DJs were Dave Mandl, Bryce and Donna. And of course eventually I discovered Fabio.
	4:57pm Looms: DON'T BACK DOWN!!!
	4:58pm Jherweg: No retreat!! Raise the GOAL! There is going to be an avalanche of CASH a comin!!
	4:58pm Cecile: He directed Pineapple Express!
	4:59pm V Priceless: I hear you, Uncle M!
	4:59pm JakeGould: @Jherweg: You and William Berger need to do some show together. 1 hour talk. Done.
	4:59pm Jherweg: What about Herschell Gordon Lewis guys?
	4:59pm JakeGould: Honestly I like films, but I remember seeing “George Washington” when it was David Gordon Green’s big deal. Rented it and the lady at the video store gushed, “Wasn’t it great!” And I said… “Not really… It kinda wasn’t…”
	5:00pm Caryn: @UncleMichael: exactly. The one pic I've had taken was from an artist I'd never heard of, and a painting most people seemed to ignore. Photos I can live with, but the people who insist on using a flash even though there is a HUGE sign right above the painting saying "No flash photography" and a guard telling them not to use a flash because the old painting can be damaged by exposure to the flash. Take a pic if you will, but if it says "no flash" then no flash, forchrissakes!
	5:01pm Polyus: Plus if you take pictures of the art, the museum can't sell you a $65 souvenir book at the gift shop.
	5:01pm JakeGould: “Plus if you take pictures of the art, the museum can't sell you a $65 souvenir book at the gift shop.” That has far more to do with it than “damage” caused by flashes. I assure you as someone who has worked with conservators about this…
	5:03pm Polyus: @Jake - sorry, bad joke. My gf is a guard, so I know the story as well.
	5:03pm JakeGould: Art gets slowly damaged more by humidity changes and the dust/lint of humans walking by than a flash.
	5:03pm Uncle Michael: In truth, the flash does no harm. That's pretty much a crock. The problem is the flash is intrusive on other people's experience. Jake slipped in with a similar point.
	5:04pm JakeGould: Also, 99% of people who have cameras with flashes have 100% no idea how or when to use one.
	5:04pm Caryn: @JakeGould: true, but when there's enough light to take a pic without a flash, and they're fine with you taking a pic as long as you don't use a flash, then I just don't see the point in using the flash just for the heck of it.
	5:04pm Uncle Michael: So true.
	5:05pm Jherweg: PLEDGE PLEDGE PLEDGE PLEDGE PLEDGE PLEDGE!!!!!!!
	5:05pm coelacanth: Tony, i remember a Jim -but it may've been Jim Price. he goes back a way.
	5:05pm JakeGould: Also, the biggest threat to art conservation comes from the artists themselves. Someone go back in time and tell Picasso to stop using housepaint. Or tell Francis Bacon to not use the untreated backs of the canvases…
	5:05pm Uncle Michael: Nothing like a stadium full of people taking flash pictures that have no effect beyond 20 feet.
	5:06pm mjgoins: What is this heavy jam?
	5:06pm TDK60: Some of my museum photographs were also of other things inside the museum: an interesting stairwell with varied light. Etc.
	5:07pm coelacanth: U M -they get some nice shots of the backs of peoples' heads though!
	5:07pm Dean: I once heard Voice Farm play at Madame Wong's in LA's Chinatown. They took flash Polaroids of the audience. If I'd been on the ball, I would have posed as an etiolated Mona Lisa.
	5:08pm TDK60: Uncle Michael. True! That happened at Shea Stadium Beatles show, 1965. Thousands of flashes every few seconds. Psychedelic.
	👻 5:08pm Bas NL: What a great track by Peron/Liles!!
	5:08pm Jherweg: That was fantastic!
	5:09pm JakeGould: @UncleMichael: Homer used flash photography to stop robots in that Simpsons episode based on Jurassic Park.
	5:09pm Uncle Michael: Try telling Beatles fans about the inverse square law of light...just try.
	5:09pm Jherweg: Bas NL has great taste in WFMU shows.
	5:10pm coelacanth: i can totally see taking pics of sculpture though...to take home and create a new 2-d art.
	5:10pm Caryn: @JakeGould: yeah, da Vinci was a genius. But his desire for a specific effect on The Last Supper meant that the work was pretty much a wreck by the mid-16th century...
	5:10pm JakeGould: @UncleMichael: What insanity it must have been to be in Shea Stadium with gajillions of teenage girls screaming. Nobody heard the materials.
	5:11pm Uncle Michael: They were scared by the flashes!
	5:11pm northguineahills: When I go to most museums, it takes me about 2.5 days to go through them all, just to absorb what's there (for large ones), I still let my wife take the occasional pics, usually for installations.
	5:11pm Dean: @UM: Isn't that what "The Inner Light" is about?
	5:11pm JakeGould: “Nobody heard the materials.” Uggh! Spell check… THE BEATLES!
	5:12pm Marcel M: Rhino records is def still there! I play up there a lot. Hello all. FABIO!
	5:12pm coelacanth: rhino is still there- on church street,not main street.
	5:12pm Ralphine: I took a picture of Max Ernst's "Capricorn" sculpture at the National Gallery when I was in high school 'cause I didn't know if I would ever make it to Washington again.
	5:12pm Caryn: @JakeGould: well, their songs were their material, so it works.
	5:13pm Cecile: lay off those jazz cigarettes, wm.
	5:13pm steve: i still see the Rhino owner at the rec fair every year
	5:14pm dale: at what point do pre-pledgers get in on the swag drawings? or were we all in the first drawing.
	5:15pm Caryn: @dale: I think it's the first drawing, if ever.
	5:15pm Cecile: ren fest
	5:15pm Jherweg: Wm is into L>A>R>P>!
	5:15pm JakeGould: Live Action Role Playing: LARP
	5:15pm coelacanth: Marcel, are you in a band? where do you play? we may have met!
	5:15pm TDK60: I was there (Shea) and you could hear, a bit.
	👻 5:16pm Bas NL: @Jherweg: It's.. kind of easy listening to WFMU? I found WFMU through Live365 at the time. It learned my taste and after a couple of weeks the tens of thousands of suggested stations had reduced to one: WFMU ;)
	5:16pm Marcel M: Since the yee ol' days of Television
	5:16pm JakeGould: Scatman Crothers.
	5:17pm Polyus: No flies on William!
	5:17pm V Priceless: Miller Place is eastern Long Island
	5:17pm barney.grubbs: I am but an accidental lampooner.
	5:17pm Bryce: look out, fabio youtu.be...
	5:18pm JakeGould: “Barney Miller Place” was a mid-season replacement that went toe-to-to with “Archie’s Place.”
	5:18pm coelacanth: i had a date in little falls once. i met her at maxwell's. it wasn't great!
	5:19pm V Priceless: @ Bryce: where did you find those 'Game of Thrones" outtakes? Wow
	5:19pm steve: that is one classy ren fair video
	5:20pm Uncle Michael: Foe me, being in the same comments as Bryce is like being on the dark side of the moon.
	5:20pm Jherweg: Turn your hat around like "Lincoln Hawke" and take it OVER THE TOP.
	5:20pm northguineahills: Someone win the Holy Mountain sndtrk, please!
	5:21pm V Priceless: @ UM - maybe 'Journey To The Far Side of The Sun'
	5:21pm Caryn: I do love the ladies applauding the victorious LARPer. Some may call that guy a virgin nerd, but he's so getting laid that night.
	5:22pm ted: going to see Holy Mountain here at a theatre in Toronto tonight....very cool
	5:22pm Sem Chumbo: Don't lightning bolt me, bro.
	5:23pm RZ: Love Santa Sangre & HM. His new movie is really good, too! Jodorowsky pretty much rules.
	5:23pm V Priceless: haha Sem - nice one!
	5:24pm Marcel M: I mean then you could call Bushwick Queens. And it aint!
	5:24pm Cecile: did you just sing part of Al Stewart's On The Border, Wm?
	5:24pm GGG: Dude, Ridgewood is fucking Queens. Please don't be a new jack about this, you know better, Fabio..
	5:26pm Marie: @ bRYce https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDdTB1GzHJw Watching these makes me feel better about myself.... is that sad?
	5:26pm Greg from Bloomfield: Ridgewood NJ aka Upper East Side West.
	5:26pm Tommy: Check out Jodorowsy's Dune for an interesting look into the mind of this great filmmaker.
	5:26pm TDK60: Well, it's Spain technically. It's Catalonia also, and they have their own language, Catalan.
	5:26pm ga01: Barcelona is Catalonia NOT iSpain!!
	5:27pm Marcel M: ga01: Not quite yet!
	5:27pm Dean: Amo, amas, amat
	5:28pm TDK60: Marcel: Not quite again yet.
	5:28pm Dean: "We gotta protect complete morons!"
	5:29pm Marcel M: @TDK60: True, that had it for a bit there didn't they?
	5:29pm Polyus: Jesus I was taking a big drink of water when he said that.
	5:29pm JakeGould: “I’ve got to protect the purity of my nachos!”
	5:29pm Marcel M: they* not that
	5:30pm ga01: always been catalonia, the spanish thing?, we'll work it out : )
	5:30pm Jherweg: The old staff trick of "I'll pledge to your show if you pledge to mine" I always fall for that!
	5:31pm Marcel M: Hehe. Fair enough ga01. Is that where you reside? My wife is from there. Love it over there.
	5:31pm Sem Chumbo: it seems Catalonia wishes to sugar its own churro.
	5:32pm ga01: I'm from there, now I live in Harlem, NY. Salut!
	5:32pm djelrock: Catalunya if you are going to be literal. Catalonia is the Spanish word and they don't like that, oh no Señor.
	5:33pm Marie: Barthelona! I had a wonderful time there. Met some really neat people.
	5:33pm JakeGould: @ga01: Harlem is not a city in New York! Harlem is a part of Manhattan which is borough in the city of New York!
	5:33pm djelrock: It'l calling the "Basque Country" Pais Vasco and not Euskadi, right ga?
	5:34pm conkrete dawg: Clay!
	5:34pm djelrock: Crash the party Clay!
	5:35pm ga01: thx JakeGould
	5:35pm Marcel M: I thought the same thing about Clay!!!! I thought the music was a joke hahaha.
	5:36pm ga01: djelrock: Euskadi is the vasc word.
	5:36pm P-90: Clay is NOT "dry" and ironic, he's 100% sincere, that's his secret weapon
	5:36pm JakeGould: Clay is anti-Irony.
	5:36pm Uncle Michael: It's never occurred to me that people might think Clay's kidding.
	5:38pm JakeGould: @UncleMichael: I started using the words “beautiful” and “lovely” non-ironically a few years back because I was getting sick of NYC cynicism. Some people think I am screwing around. Nope. That]s the sick part of NYC: People think anything that is positive is a joke.
	5:38pm Caryn: @P-90: true. Absolute sincerity baffles a lot of people, just because people are so cynical that they can't comprehend that someone might be totally sincere about something. A large swathe of movies seems to be based on this premise.
	5:39pm Marcel M: Thats the thing I love about NYC Jake.
	5:39pm Marcel M: And I just said a positive statement... not cynically... or did I....
	5:39pm Uncle Michael: Clay listens to the people he interviews. He's amazing.
	5:40pm Looms: Volcano The Bear! I so heartfully love their work.
	5:40pm Marcel M: For me it was just hearing the music he played on WFMU and assuming it was a joke. Nothing too deep.
	5:40pm JakeGould: In fact I was on the subway and some guy brings his beagle on. And then starts feeding her Cheez Puffs. I just smiled and said, “That is beautiful…’ Because it was/is.
	5:40pm Marcel M: Love the pidge
	5:40pm Marcel M: @Jake: hahahah... that does seem like a beautiful sight.
	👻 5:40pm Ken From Hyde Park: Strength Through Pledging
	5:42pm JakeGould: @MarcelM: The thing is I was born and raised in NYC. And you get people moving here who think that being “negative” and “cynical” is what being a New Yorker is. But is has more to do with just being honest at all times. If something sucks, say it sucks… If you say something is nice, it’s nice… Simple…
	5:43pm Marcel M: True Jake.. I'm from the area myself. Lots of hacks move here. Lots of cool folks too.
	5:44pm Greg from Bloomfield: I tried to listen to Hot 97 on my drive to the train and it was literally commercials for 8 minutes. I had completely forgotten what the outside world was like...
	5:44pm Rory: I don't hear music on commercial radio. I just hear shit.
	5:44pm Marcel M: Actually the other day, I took stock of my closest friends, and they are all from the tri state area, or another country.
	5:44pm P-90: ... Spanish station, Spanish station, Phil Schaap talkathon, Spanish station...
	5:44pm coelacanth: there's no r & no b in today's "r & b".
	5:44pm Marie: Yeah Caryn, and anyone who is sincere a lot is portrayed as being kind of child-like. Shows you the shallwness of much mainstream media. Profit motive =sh*T
	5:44pm TDK60: There are some good music stations in the NYC area. WKCR plays some good jazz and classical. WNYU has some out-like stuff or indie rock sometimes. WNYE has some world music/ethnic shows.
	5:44pm Marcel M: @Greg: I had a similar experience in a cab with KTU.. they were talking about some product as if they actually loved/used it.. it was crazy. But I guess thats normal.
	5:45pm Marcel M: These two are cute together.
	5:46pm dale: i cried when the american standards station turned to disney.
	5:46pm anastasia: i do have a car, and it does suck parking it in ridgewood. oh cool, i won a cd!
	5:47pm JakeGould: @Anastasia: Ridgewood, Queens, NY right?
	5:48pm Greg from Bloomfield: Agreed, Marcel– this has been one of my favorite DJ pairings yet!
	5:48pm steve: "was he juliened?" hahahha
	5:48pm V Priceless: WNYC's 'New Sounds' was always a reliable source for interesting music, going back to the early 80's. WNYC was where I first discovered Joe Frank, too.
	5:48pm Marcel M: Yeah RW is rough for parking... Bushwick is okay but getting worse and worse.
	5:49pm Uncle Michael: Popeil Pocket DJ
	5:49pm TDK60: Fabio's co-host sounds like the beer has taken effect.
	5:49pm Dean: Ron Popiel is among the quick.
	5:49pm dale: i thought that was funny too - fabio probably only remembers the pocket fisherman
	5:50pm Rory: Hey Wm., bring the Pidge back to the Castle.
	5:50pm coelacanth: tupac was julienned...now he's tenpac.
	5:50pm Dean: Beer with a straw? Now that's funny.
	5:51pm dale: fabio - remember 'get your jimmy thicker, with colt malt liquor?'
	5:51pm barney.grubbs: looks like it was midnight dragon. the ad is down the page here: faithfulreaders.com...
	5:52pm djelrock: Yup. I believe you. You'd only c those in the hood. Just like the courveisier ads.
	5:52pm Dean: Midnight Dragon: http://bit.ly/1GxavOA
	5:52pm Guido from Cologne: Another version of the poster, but anyway: kihm7.files.wordpress.com...
	5:52pm Caryn: That was an ad for Midnight Dragon
	5:52pm roland: I remember that "suck on this" poster
	5:52pm Uncle Michael: Poster: kihm7.files.wordpress.com...
	5:52pm JakeGould: @barney.grubbs: Yes! kihm7.files.wordpress.com...
	5:52pm Dean: https://kihm7.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/ml-poster-suck.jpg
	5:53pm Uncle Michael: Googling fiends!
	5:53pm JakeGould: And the feminists shot the ad down. Bummer! books.google.com...
	5:53pm Dean: Actually, I remember the URL from a couple years ago.
	5:53pm Uncle Michael: Great show guys...heading for the car.
	5:53pm barney.grubbs: I don't remember seeing the ad on the west coast, but I can remember the sickly sweet flavor of the stuff. Only Laser malt liquor was nastier.
	5:54pm Cheri Pi: Midnight Dragon was my college beer!
	5:54pm JakeGould: The backstory is pretty funny, “Of course, one cannot discuss sex and malt liquor without a bow to Don Vultaggio and John Ferolito. These two young men from Brooklyn came up the hard way. After high school, they scraped together $200 and bought a VW bus to deliver beer to places avoided by timid truckers, stores in neighborhoods like Crown Heights and Bedford-Stuyvesant. By 1982, the pair had 25 trucks and a decade of experience delivering refreshment in these less than pastoral settings. Vultaggio and Ferolito learned what their customers wanted because they were on the street with them every day. One day they asked themselves why they were delivering other people’s beer when they could contract to brew their own and profit as both wholesalers and brewers. In 1986, they formed the Hornell Brewing Company and introduced Midnight Dragon Special Reserve Malt Liquor. What they lacked in marketing power, they made up for in audacity. Their first poster featured a woman sipping Midnight Dragon through a straw. The caption read, “I could SUCK on this all night.” You didn’t need a gypsy to read those tea leaves. When women’s groups protested, Ferolito told the Wall Street Journal, “Real men like sex and sex sells beer.” In fact, 22 separate groups protested the poster. Propelled by its notoriety, Midnight Dragon sold like hotcakes with malt syrup. As a cultured touch, its cans and bottles were emblazoned with an elegant crest and Latin inscription, “Epulis Accumbere Divum” (line 79 from the first book of Vergil’s Aeneid, “To recline at the feast of the gods”). For those eager to recline, Vultaggio and Ferolito delivered their new brew by the truckload — three million cases of Midnight Dragon annually.”
	5:54pm Cecile: bye! Go sober up, Wm.
	5:55pm coelacanth: still? my father used to get that home liquor- well,everything.
	5:56pm northguineahills: @Jake: I use fun, beautiful, and other adjectives and a lot of pretentious assholes get offended, b/c they think I'm being sarcastic, when I'm being genuine.
	5:57pm Caryn: @barney.grubbs: on that page you posted, for some reason the tag line of "Open up! with... Budweiser Malt Liquor" seems totally dirty now.
	5:58pm JakeGould: Honesty is a powerful weapon. <-- Future inspiring camp counselor.
	5:58pm redkayak: Look at the bright side: if you bat .470 you're in the Hall of Fame :)
	👻 5:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Congrats, Cheri Pi!
	5:59pm cheri pi: yay
	5:59pm JakeGould: @northguineahills: To be fair, when I have been pushed into a corner—sometimes physically—by an a-hole I will just say, “You are so fucking cute!” and squeeze their arm. No more effective way to defuse an a-hole than by acting like a sitcom ditz.
	5:59pm ?: 50%!!!
	6:00pm JakeGould: The glass is 1/2 full.
	6:01pm dale: poop - one year i won something on fabs show. it's been downhill since.
	6:02pm JakeGould: Strength Through Failure, Dale.
	6:03pm dale: HAH - you funny.....
	6:05pm northguineahills: @Jake: At this point in my life, I'm pretty sure I'm a sitcom ditz.

Listener comments!
	3:05pm Ken: I entered a period into Fabio's playlist to activate it.
	3:05pm V Priceless: Hey Fabio! Hey William! Hey All! We will NOT fail today! Woo!
	3:06pm DCE: good work Ken! Fabio vs the world, round 1
	3:06pm Ike: Groovy, Ken. Wm. Berger is going to have to work hard to be as hilarious as he was w/Herweg the other night.
	3:06pm cory: Failing at work today
	3:07pm Cecile: hola!
	3:07pm r i s k y: "."
	3:07pm JakeGould: Yeah, what Ike said… The Bro-mance between Berger and Herweg the other night was “They need a show together!”-worthy.
	3:07pm Caryn: Oh look, Giant Man sung by Koivistolaiset, with the lead sung by Kai Lind. Kai Lind's best known band here, with Lind doing the lead: www.youtube.com...
	3:08pm r i s k y: Funrazor
	3:09pm Bronwyn C.: Wlm. Berger's show and Fabio's show were my dual gateway shows to WFMU, back in ... 1985? That's worth my pledge, for sure!
	3:10pm Cecile: caryn, I probably went to school with some 3-cousins once removed of them in the UP.
	3:12pm Marc: No Clay Pigeon as co-host? :(
	3:12pm Cecile: you can read my damn name.
	3:12pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): Now your talking! Fabio and William Burger!
	3:13pm dale: marc - no jazz cigarettes during this all important time.
	3:13pm steve: Marc - Clay's joining Fabio next week
	3:14pm Ike: Awesome, Bronwyn C. These guys were early shows for me too, in 1993, though my original gateway was Dave Mandl. BTW, I wish I could hear some Truckstop Tea Party archives since that was before my time.
	3:14pm joe: @ bronwyn c you were mine
	3:15pm d¢ pät: SMKen was mine--he had me at "YOU ARE MEDDLING WITH THE PRIMAL ORDER OF NATURE, SCOTT WILLIAMS!!!!"
	3:16pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): I have been listening to Fabio and tony colter for almost 25 years. I miss William burger on Sunday's after midnight
	3:16pm dale: de nada fabio. one of the best three hours on the telefunken.
	3:16pm DCE: Wyoming is desolate and beautiful, and there are geysers in the northwest!
	3:16pm Cecile: Would you be a Midianite?
	3:16pm joe: yes old faithful is in Wy
	3:17pm mushroomjesus: kuln
	3:17pm Tony: Yes the geysers are in Yellowstone, which is mostly in WY. Went there last year for the first time and it was amazing. Everyone should see that at least once in their lifetime.
	3:18pm P-90: @ Bronwyn C: Those are some good "gateways".
	3:19pm ted: that was an AMAZING Scottish accent Fabio
	3:20pm Cecile: I like them both.
	3:21pm dale: i was listening to novalis and jane yesterday. old krautrock is der best
	3:21pm sphere: hello all. Fabio is naming folks who assigned part of their Swag For Life pledge to him. very nice!
	3:21pm joe: Salem is capital...come on I'm fact checking instead of answering phones.
	👻 3:21pm chris: ja, dale!
	3:21pm Bronwyn C.: @joe: <3 !
	3:22pm Polyus: How did Fabio manage to pick Stacy Lattisaw out of the air?
	3:23pm Ken: My gateway shows: the Vanilla Bean, Jim Price and Irwin. My anti-gateway show was JM in the AM then called the Hebrew and Jewish Program. Whenever it came on, I became convinced that I had imagined this amazing radio at 91.1.
	3:23pm JakeGould: “The Grand Wizard of Wrestling” en.wikipedia.org...
	3:23pm P-90: CAN! funny, I was just having a chat with a music journalist friend of mine yesterday, he was a very early champion of Can, I was saying that as diverse as the programming and tastes of the listeners of WFMU are, Can stands out as an across-the-board favorite.
	3:23pm Bronwyn C.: Fabio and Wlm. Berger doing some Sportsy Talking!
	3:23pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): Hey I remember the grand wizard! And Ivan putski the polish power
	3:23pm Cecile: the Iron Sheik! Baron von Raschke!
	3:23pm Dean: Novalis and Jane. That brings back memories. Eloy, Release Music Orchestra, and (not Kraut, but good prog) Secret Oyster.
	3:24pm d¢ pät: remember when we use to call football "soccer"??? Hahaha, what a joke.
	3:25pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): Jimmy super fly Snuka George the animal Steele The mad Samoans
	3:26pm P-90: I LiKE the term "vinyl player", it's cool.
	3:26pm JakeGould: Is there a way to check out the program grids from like 1992 to 1995? Those were the years I first got into the station. No specific shows I can recall.
	3:27pm mushroomjesus: Saw Gary Wilson last year in Austin. Creepy show.
	3:27pm dale: sometimes i still think i need to turn the tv on five minutes before a show so the set warms up.
	3:27pm Cecile: we used to call our former crappy record player the vinyl grinder.
	3:28pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): @jakegould I found wfmu way way back in 1987 greatest discovery I eve made on radio.
	3:28pm steve: yayyy Gary Wilson
	3:28pm Dean: Dude is singing about this: https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQno7CqfdD4sAoOPn2SgFJIb64bAgq8zJu3nogNrCIQ1YdmYZDIvg
	3:28pm Ralphine: The first Thunk Tank and Glen Jones were the first WFMU shows I heard. I AltaVista-ed WFMU after I read about it in the New York Times. So I owe it all to the Times.
	3:28pm Cecile: I knew about FMU since the mid-80s when Rob Weisberg wrote me about it. But I didn't start listening frequently until 2004 on the intertubes.
	3:28pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): I remember when they were part of Uppsala College
	3:29pm joe: the original sheik.
	3:29pm Cecile: Diane, Joe Belock and Brian Turner were my gateway shows.
	3:29pm Ike: @Jake, some of those grids are in old issues of LCD that are floating around at the station. One time when I was volunteering, I showed one of the grids to Bronwyn and she found it really hilarious for some reason that I can't remember now.
	3:30pm steve: i think i first discovered The Best Show and the Ed Shepp Radio Experiment (early/mid 2000s?) but Fabio and Bryce were my early (and still) favs
	3:30pm YETI BOB: this show is SO educational!
	3:31pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): Does anyone remember Hova
	👻 3:31pm chris: pronounced "skwim", i believe
	3:32pm d¢ pät: DYLAN was WELSH!!
	3:32pm JakeGould: 1992 was the year I moved to my own place in Park Slope so I could properly pick up WFMU. Prior to that I lived in Brighton Beach and could only sporadically pick it up. Did have clear access to Kingsborough Community College radio which I barely remember listening to. And WBAI was sane and solvent back then.
	3:32pm d¢ pät: joke.
	3:33pm JakeGould: In 1992 it always seemed weird to me that Upsala College would have a station like WFMU. But hey, I never heard of Upsala College before WFMU so what do I know?
	3:33pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): Tony Coulter and Pat Duncan on Thursdays with live in studio bands
	3:33pm Dean: Skimming a compilation of LCD work published in 2008 via Amazon "Look Inside," I see Ellery Eskelin and Nick Tosches wrote for it.
	3:33pm P-90: @Cecile: I listened in the 80's too, at that time FMU was aert of a trio of college stations, along with WKCR and WFUV, that were almost the only alternatives to commercial programming (the less said about WBAI, the better.) But the station didn't yet have its 'identity" as we know it today, that came in the early 90's, as noted by others above.
	3:34pm Ken Weaver: MY TWO FAVORITE DJs. ON TOGETHER!!! Hope you got my pledge, love ya' Guys!
	3:35pm Bronwyn C.: If I hadn't already pledged, I would pledge just for Wlm. Berger saying "Das Widget"!
	3:36pm JakeGould: FWIW, WBAI back in the 1980s/early-1990s was tolerable for a few shows. But only a few. A few. A small number.
	3:36pm GGG: don't forget WNYU as a premier college radio alternative in NYC area, especially during those 90s years.
	3:36pm Walt: The black with rainbow color sticker resembles the Brunswick label frim the 1950s-1960s. Brunswick was a Decca subsidiary, though.
	3:36pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): I remember so far back in WFMU that they use to cover the Uppsala college basketball team on their airwaves
	3:36pm joe: I think there maybe some in the best of lcd which is available as a warehouse pick for a mouse of today or more.
	3:37pm GGG: love seeing all the Pat Duncan reminiscences too, miss his show and all the live bands.
	3:37pm JakeGould: Regular chickens www.youtube.com...
	3:38pm Bronwyn C.: @Ralphine: The idea that you discovered Thunk Tank via the NYTimes is making my head explode.
	3:39pm Robert: Many's the time I've been the only one in the theater laughing at a point in a movie or play. Once I had people in the row in front of me turn & glare at me.
	3:39pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): @jakegould I use to listen to WBAI as well. And they did have some shows worth listening to like sounds of the city with Dennis Coleman and carrier wave with Sydney Smith
	3:39pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): Earth watch with Robert knight
	3:39pm r i s k y: "I wasn't in an altered state... My state is New Jersey". Fucking Fantastic, Wm.
	3:40pm mushroomjesus: I laughed at the end of Titanic in the theater. I thought I was going to get mobbed.
	3:40pm P-90: @Ralphine & Bronwyn: I'm really thrown by that NY Times/WFMU "gateway" story too
	3:41pm Caryn: @mushroomjesus: well, that whole movie is such ridiculous trash that laughter is the only sensible response.
	3:42pm JakeGould: I actually still like some WBAI shows and the hosts seem nice. But I stopped listening to them a few years back after realizing I should have stopped listening to them even further back. The toxicity of WBAI makes the hosts just sound like they are constantly under siege. Not naming specific shows because I don’t even want to touch that.
	3:42pm Ken Weaver: WOW, LOVE THIS TRACK!!!!!
	3:44pm DCE: keep screaming!
	3:44pm JakeGould: Which is to say, blah blah… I give WFMU my money and support. And a hug if it needs it.
	3:44pm P-90: Wbai was fun in the 60's and 70's. After that: decline, decline, decline.
	3:45pm dale: wsou in staten island is good if you're a metal head
	3:45pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): @jakegould in my misspent youth I listened to WBAI non stop in the 80's I know who your talking about. Those toxic hosts drove me away from WBAI in 88-89
	3:45pm Caryn: The "only some people laugh" thing at movies reminds me of how John Waters said he could look at an audience watching one of his early movies and tell at certain points who in the audience were gay and who were not, because all the gay people would laugh at a specific line and the others wouldn't. I've seen that idea in action only once at a screening of You Can't Stop The Music during Gay Pride Week.
	3:46pm Andrew Waterloo: Thanks to noise cancelling headphones I forgot I was in a room full of people when I burst out laughing at eraserhead dialogue.
	3:46pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): WNYU was the place for INDIE WSOU was the home of metal or hair bands is what they call it today
	3:46pm Ralphine: I only clicked on a link to listen to a Thunk Tank sample because the name of the show struck me funny, and the link to a sample of Jones and Burns said they were a couple of Jersey fat boys.
	3:47pm mushroomjesus: Failure to Forgive
	3:47pm kimgland: halbe maus spende
	3:47pm DCE: haha, damn! I have great luck with these!
	3:48pm JakeGould: WLIR and WDRE for me in JHS/HS in the 1980s.
	3:50pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): @jakegould I couldn't get WLIR too clearly even on my Sony ghetto blaster
	3:51pm JakeGould: One of the benefits of being in Brighton Beach near Coney Island back then was clear Long Island signals. That and the knishes, boardwalk & skee ball.
	3:51pm BriJet: Hello!!!
	3:51pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): I hate commercials with a passion! Which is why I'll always be a listener 4 life to wfmu and the others left of the dial
	3:56pm Tome: this is great
	3:56pm Caryn: Ignatz II - Electric Boogaloo?
	3:56pm DCE: haha
	3:57pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): Does anyone remember when we had 2 classical music stations on the dial? WQXR and WNCN
	3:58pm Walt: No love for the Kochs here, but in 2008 David H. Koch gave $100 million to renovate the New York State Theater at Lincoln Center for ballet and opera. It's now the Koch Theater.
	3:59pm Robert: When I moved into this apt. in 1986 & couldn't get WFMU unless I went outside, I too listened to a good deal of WLIR/WDRE/WLIR.
	3:59pm common: Fabio!
	4:01pm Mark Williams: my fourth pledge this Fundraiser, because I've slacked too much in recent years. For a variety of reasons, I was reminded of why a station like this matters to me, and a person like Fabio especially. Long live WFMU.
	4:01pm V Priceless: this just in: NASA confirms there's hydrothermal activity, i.e. an ocean, on Jupiter's moon, Ganymede (100 miles below the surface). It also has a thin, but oxygen-rich, atmosphere, apparently. My browser not allowing me to copy and paste link here.
	4:02pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): @robert I had to constantly re arrange my stereos wire antenna hanging on the wall to listen to this and the other college stations it looked like a piece of artwork it was so twisted into many shapes
	4:03pm assaf: Tried to call but lines were busy, so went straight to pledge page donated $100 keep on failing Fab you're FABULOUS
	4:04pm Caryn: @VP: interesting. I assume the liquid ocean is there for the same reason as there's one on Europa: the "kneading" effect Jupiter has during the moon's orbit.
	4:04pm DCE: let's all move to Ganymede!
	4:06pm Ralphine: I can't swim.
	4:08pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): My castle of quiet strength through failure
	4:08pm Tony: What's the goal for this show?
	4:09pm DCE: @ Tony, success
	4:10pm Caryn: Of course, the thin oxygen layer and oceans were known about before, but the layering of the ocean is a new discovery.
	4:11pm coelacanth: olá Fabio and failing comrades
	4:12pm Tony: @DCE: Well they've already made the goal then!
	4:12pm Ike, food nerd: Really more Iselin and Edison than Metuchen
	4:12pm Dean: Props to Mr. Berger for playing Gidim's cassette two or three weeks ago. I contacted the "band" (one guy in Chicago), and bought the cassette. He also burned a CD for me. It's a terrific twelve minutes.
	4:14pm Phillip in Brooklyn (48 years old): I'm sure a movie maker will make a movie about NASA sending a probe to Ganymead drilling into the ice and bringing back a sample of the ocean, and then the probe explodes in earths atmosphere and turned everyone on earth into ZOMBIES!!!
	4:14pm βrian: @coelacanth: Cicadian Rhythms! Nice. Is that a wood thrush at the beginning?
	4:16pm βrian: Irwin's right about the musical neurosis thing. I can't stand to read about music, and that's why I'm glad for WFMU.
	4:16pm Polyus: There is a movie about a manned expedition to Europa. No zombies though.
	4:17pm coelacanth: Brian Thank you! i believe it's a thrush, but i don't know what kind.
	4:17pm Robert: I've thought sometimes about what Fabio just said. If there were no radio or Internet, these guys would be doing something like their programs, but just for themselves & a few friends getting together occasionally.
	4:18pm Caryn: Of course, Arthur C. Clarke had both gaseous aliens living on Jupiter and seaweed creatures living in the oceans of Europa in 2010, but the movie ignored those bits.
	4:18pm Stepchild, Metuchenite: Ike, you are so right!
	4:19pm V Priceless: @ Caryn: apparently Callisto has an ocean too, so I'm learning. Fascinating stuff.
	4:19pm Carmichael: Hi everyone. Since we're taking longevity role-call, I have been listening to FMU for almost exactly 20 years.
	👻 4:21pm Rev. Turnip Druid: FOKES! Jeezus I swear to gawd, I'll get my pixel heart ASAP.
	4:21pm Caryn: Speaking of "didn't need to be remade", the Blade Runner reimagining/sequel/whatever is annoying me.
	👻 4:21pm Rev. Turnip Druid: HEY WOW, two of my favorite human beings on earth, co-hostin'!
	4:22pm chocolate monk: it was paul Hession, Fabio
	4:22pm βrian: Say, how long has WFMU been streaming? It never existed before that point — in my particular reality, anyway.
	4:22pm TDK60: Old topic; I still listen to WBAI, depends on the show.
	4:22pm Dean: Cecil Taylor
	4:23pm joe: Steve Noble. http://www.allmusic.com/artist/steve-noble-mn0000784567/biography
	4:23pm northguineahills: @Rev: If the galaxies align correctly, I'll have my heart come May. Things look optimistically in that direction.
	4:24pm Polyus: Pretty much any copy of the Solaris book you find used will have a soft-focus makeout scene from the Soderbergh remake on the cover.
	4:25pm βrian: @NGH: which country must your spouse renounce?
	4:25pm northguineahills: @Brian: I was able to stream a crappy tinny WFMU stream only from my office in FL in 1998 (b/c my apt didn't have the bandwidth).
	4:27pm coelacanth: speaking of wfmu history, i've yet to know of anyone remembering Paul Cavenaugh or "The Immigrant"... they were 2 of my favorites and i have many cassette tapes of those two.
	4:29pm TDK60: I detest those gadgets at concerts. I hate dodging gadget-maniacs on the sidewalk. It's makin' me toxic.
	4:29pm d¢ pät: Here's the best: at museum, everybody, EVERYBODY there, walks up to paintings takes a picture, then walks away without looking at the real thing. I still can't believe I saw people doing this.
	4:30pm northguineahills: @Brian: Mexico, although we're looking into options where we can both get US/Mexican citizenship down the road. It's nice to leave all options available. 1998, damn, I was still an undergrad, a working full time office job for on of my majors.. Now, after grad school 15 years ago, I'm out of work doing odd jobs, that how the dice rolls some times.
	4:30pm βrian: What's with these recidivist pledgers? How do they do it?
	4:31pm Polyus: No kidding, pat. I have seen it at several museums.
	4:31pm common: just saw some a sasha's work at my job today.
	4:32pm GGG: Sasha Grey, fake DJ musician, please...
	4:32pm Ike: eHarmony is crypto-Christian -- bleh!
	4:32pm northguineahills: I cannot into grammar today, yeesh!
	4:32pm Stepchild: I don't remember the year (1984?) when I first listened to WFMU, but I remember the show: Drunken Brawl Music!!
	4:33pm βrian: @common: Really? Are you a GOP staffer?
	4:34pm coelacanth: this year there's no black woof-moo shirt,though, and mine has disappeared.
	4:35pm common: @brian: ha! nah, just work in a porn warehouse.
	4:35pm βrian: "I don't remember the woman's name, and I don't remember the wine. But the radio, ah, the radio was WFMU?"
	4:35pm Caryn: @ngh: no kidding. I had more steady work and better incomes between the ages of 15-27 than I do now. And since you didn't accumulate any pension under the age of 23 in those days, my most lucrative job years didn't accrue me much in the way of a pension. sigh
	4:35pm coelacanth: i never got that! ...KEN!!
	4:36pm common: with you and ngh, caryn.
	4:36pm TDK60: Polyus & DC Pat. True, I was at the Metropolitan Art Museum the other day and saw folks taking quick photos like that. I did take my camera and took some shots of fave paintings. But I also sat there and stared at them for several- -to -15 minutes.
	4:36pm βrian: Brooklyn, Michigan.
	4:36pm conkrete dawg: Brooklyn, GA
	4:39pm joe: @dc pat I have to admit my guilt to taking photos of the Dalis in the met museum of art.
	4:40pm coelacanth: why would someone bother? looking at a photo of a painting is not the same. i think it's analogous to people having enormous song collections in their "devices"- just so they can say they have it. (most people.)
	4:41pm northguineahills: @Caryn: I haven't had a job that actually paid into a pension for the last 5 years (everyone just subcontracts freelancers anymore). I just liquidated my last retirement fund to help pay for a lawyer for our immigration interviews (and, living expenses, since I'm barely working now). That said, my former job from 15 months ago, asked me to interview in two weeks to work on the same project that was defunded. The positive, they offered me more $. Odd coincidence. I did my BA thesis project on predicting lake flooding and drought conditions due to increases in suburbanation on a Lake Brooklyn in Clay County, FL. Two years later, I moved here.
	4:44pm coelacanth: i feel there's nothing wrong with taking pictures of art, so you can reflect on what you've taken in at the museum. that's different than doing it instead of...
	4:44pm joe: mind you I spent a good half hour with each painting before I took the photo.
	👻 4:44pm Rev. Turnip Druid: HA! Coulter was my gateway DJ, in 1997...
	4:45pm Polyus: I get the impression that it tends to be tourists who are trying to see everything they possibly can in the limited time they have. So I can understand where the impulse comes from. That's why I make sure to set aside enough time.
	4:46pm northguineahills: My parents and wife get mad at me for never taking pictures. It's sort of a problem for this immigration interview we have, but my attitude is, if you have a photographic memory, why take pics? Plus, I like the subjectivity my memory colors said pictures.
	4:46pm Cecile: sad news from korea is an old blues song.
	4:47pm Polyus: Or. . .sometimes a piece of art moves you enough that you want to study it further at home, as joe says.
	4:47pm northguineahills: Monica was the first dj I heard live (I believe, the subjectivity of my memory is fuzzy).
	4:47pm Caryn: @ngh: fortunately, whenever I get brief freelance work, I can pay into my pensions. Except when the job is really small. Which is a lot of the time. So my pension statement has a nice list of jobs I don't get a pension for because I was too young, and jobs that I don't get a pension for because the pay was so small. My actual accrued pension is about 25 bucks a month right now! What with those lists, the pension statement is just a slap in the face.
	4:48pm coelacanth: Polyus you're probably right.(on both points) ...and joe is innocent!
	4:51pm Polyus: I did get a kick out of everyone getting their pics taken next to Starry Night at MoMA the one time I was there.
	4:51pm Caryn: I've once asked a relative to take a pic of one particular painting that I loved at a modern art museum in the Netherlands. But I think there's a difference between taking pics of a limited number of works that you really like, and just pointing and clicking your way through a gallery without actually looking at anything.
	4:51pm joe: here is the great Radio Alphabet book that Irwin oversaw the cleaning up of an rebranded for WFMU. https://archive.org/details/radioalphabet00colurich
	4:51pm TDK60: I started with WFMU so long ago, I forgot the names of DJs! Was there a Larry?
	4:53pm Tony: I take pictures of sculptures in museums sometimes since they are 3-dimensional and the context in which they are displayed can make a difference. But I don't get taking pictures of paintings. Surely you can just find a picture online of any famous painting that you would find in a major museum?
	4:54pm Jherweg: I almost died from sleep deprivation after staying up all night with with Berger and then going straight to work for 15 hours....I am dying for WFMU......and i LIKE IT!!
	4:54pm northguineahills: @Caryn: That sounds good! I'm looking into doing just that if everything works out. The working from out of town looked less attractive due to these immigration interviews. Everything was smooth sailing until 3 years ago.
	4:55pm Caryn: I'm a relatively recent WFMU convert. Was first introduced to the station during the Marathon in 2000 or 2001. Patton Oswalt was encouraging people to pledge, so I tuned in, liked what I heard, pledged, and that was it.
	4:55pm coelacanth: i don't recall which names were first for me,but Mr.Berger goes back at least almost as far as i do...he did not do a metal show.
	4:55pm V Priceless: @ Polyus: sometimes a piece of art moves me to the point of wanting to move it out the back door, and directly to a wall at my place! : )
	4:55pm JakeGould: Regarding taking pictures at museums and galleries, I went to a few art fairs in NYC recently. Those things are so crowed sometimes the only way you can ever “make note” of a picture is to take a pic. I’d say for every 10 works I take pics of, 1 or 2 of them I will stop to take it in. The rest are mildly interesting and it’s better to make some note of the work than wonder years later, “What was that one thing?”
	4:56pm JakeGould: Also, most museums ban photos due to rights restrictions. So many times you see people taking quick shots to elude security guards. Very common practice.
	4:57pm Uncle Michael: I have photographed art in museums that's not famous enough to find online..and the exhibit card, for reference. Anything else is a concern for proving you've been there yourself. I hate crowded museums altogether, with or without cameras. Shuffling past art like a cafeteria line...I hate it so much. I only go to small exhibits on weekdays. No more blockbusters for me...ever. With cameras is generally worse. People jockeying for position. Ugh.
	4:57pm JakeGould: I never met a four. But I have met a few eights and nines.
	4:57pm Tony: The first show I remember hearing on WFMU in 1994 was a DJ who has long since left the airwaves. I want to say he went by Jim C. He played mainly instrumentals on his show. Other gateway DJs were Dave Mandl, Bryce and Donna. And of course eventually I discovered Fabio.
	4:57pm Looms: DON'T BACK DOWN!!!
	4:58pm Jherweg: No retreat!! Raise the GOAL! There is going to be an avalanche of CASH a comin!!
	4:58pm Cecile: He directed Pineapple Express!
	4:59pm V Priceless: I hear you, Uncle M!
	4:59pm JakeGould: @Jherweg: You and William Berger need to do some show together. 1 hour talk. Done.
	4:59pm Jherweg: What about Herschell Gordon Lewis guys?
	4:59pm JakeGould: Honestly I like films, but I remember seeing “George Washington” when it was David Gordon Green’s big deal. Rented it and the lady at the video store gushed, “Wasn’t it great!” And I said… “Not really… It kinda wasn’t…”
	5:00pm Caryn: @UncleMichael: exactly. The one pic I've had taken was from an artist I'd never heard of, and a painting most people seemed to ignore. Photos I can live with, but the people who insist on using a flash even though there is a HUGE sign right above the painting saying "No flash photography" and a guard telling them not to use a flash because the old painting can be damaged by exposure to the flash. Take a pic if you will, but if it says "no flash" then no flash, forchrissakes!
	5:01pm Polyus: Plus if you take pictures of the art, the museum can't sell you a $65 souvenir book at the gift shop.
	5:01pm JakeGould: “Plus if you take pictures of the art, the museum can't sell you a $65 souvenir book at the gift shop.” That has far more to do with it than “damage” caused by flashes. I assure you as someone who has worked with conservators about this…
	5:03pm Polyus: @Jake - sorry, bad joke. My gf is a guard, so I know the story as well.
	5:03pm JakeGould: Art gets slowly damaged more by humidity changes and the dust/lint of humans walking by than a flash.
	5:03pm Uncle Michael: In truth, the flash does no harm. That's pretty much a crock. The problem is the flash is intrusive on other people's experience. Jake slipped in with a similar point.
	5:04pm JakeGould: Also, 99% of people who have cameras with flashes have 100% no idea how or when to use one.
	5:04pm Caryn: @JakeGould: true, but when there's enough light to take a pic without a flash, and they're fine with you taking a pic as long as you don't use a flash, then I just don't see the point in using the flash just for the heck of it.
	5:04pm Uncle Michael: So true.
	5:05pm Jherweg: PLEDGE PLEDGE PLEDGE PLEDGE PLEDGE PLEDGE!!!!!!!
	5:05pm coelacanth: Tony, i remember a Jim -but it may've been Jim Price. he goes back a way.
	5:05pm JakeGould: Also, the biggest threat to art conservation comes from the artists themselves. Someone go back in time and tell Picasso to stop using housepaint. Or tell Francis Bacon to not use the untreated backs of the canvases…
	5:05pm Uncle Michael: Nothing like a stadium full of people taking flash pictures that have no effect beyond 20 feet.
	5:06pm mjgoins: What is this heavy jam?
	5:06pm TDK60: Some of my museum photographs were also of other things inside the museum: an interesting stairwell with varied light. Etc.
	5:07pm coelacanth: U M -they get some nice shots of the backs of peoples' heads though!
	5:07pm Dean: I once heard Voice Farm play at Madame Wong's in LA's Chinatown. They took flash Polaroids of the audience. If I'd been on the ball, I would have posed as an etiolated Mona Lisa.
	5:08pm TDK60: Uncle Michael. True! That happened at Shea Stadium Beatles show, 1965. Thousands of flashes every few seconds. Psychedelic.
	👻 5:08pm Bas NL: What a great track by Peron/Liles!!
	5:08pm Jherweg: That was fantastic!
	5:09pm JakeGould: @UncleMichael: Homer used flash photography to stop robots in that Simpsons episode based on Jurassic Park.
	5:09pm Uncle Michael: Try telling Beatles fans about the inverse square law of light...just try.
	5:09pm Jherweg: Bas NL has great taste in WFMU shows.
	5:10pm coelacanth: i can totally see taking pics of sculpture though...to take home and create a new 2-d art.
	5:10pm Caryn: @JakeGould: yeah, da Vinci was a genius. But his desire for a specific effect on The Last Supper meant that the work was pretty much a wreck by the mid-16th century...
	5:10pm JakeGould: @UncleMichael: What insanity it must have been to be in Shea Stadium with gajillions of teenage girls screaming. Nobody heard the materials.
	5:11pm Uncle Michael: They were scared by the flashes!
	5:11pm northguineahills: When I go to most museums, it takes me about 2.5 days to go through them all, just to absorb what's there (for large ones), I still let my wife take the occasional pics, usually for installations.
	5:11pm Dean: @UM: Isn't that what "The Inner Light" is about?
	5:11pm JakeGould: “Nobody heard the materials.” Uggh! Spell check… THE BEATLES!
	5:12pm Marcel M: Rhino records is def still there! I play up there a lot. Hello all. FABIO!
	5:12pm coelacanth: rhino is still there- on church street,not main street.
	5:12pm Ralphine: I took a picture of Max Ernst's "Capricorn" sculpture at the National Gallery when I was in high school 'cause I didn't know if I would ever make it to Washington again.
	5:12pm Caryn: @JakeGould: well, their songs were their material, so it works.
	5:13pm Cecile: lay off those jazz cigarettes, wm.
	5:13pm steve: i still see the Rhino owner at the rec fair every year
	5:14pm dale: at what point do pre-pledgers get in on the swag drawings? or were we all in the first drawing.
	5:15pm Caryn: @dale: I think it's the first drawing, if ever.
	5:15pm Cecile: ren fest
	5:15pm Jherweg: Wm is into L>A>R>P>!
	5:15pm JakeGould: Live Action Role Playing: LARP
	5:15pm coelacanth: Marcel, are you in a band? where do you play? we may have met!
	5:15pm TDK60: I was there (Shea) and you could hear, a bit.
	👻 5:16pm Bas NL: @Jherweg: It's.. kind of easy listening to WFMU? I found WFMU through Live365 at the time. It learned my taste and after a couple of weeks the tens of thousands of suggested stations had reduced to one: WFMU ;)
	5:16pm Marcel M: Since the yee ol' days of Television
	5:16pm JakeGould: Scatman Crothers.
	5:17pm Polyus: No flies on William!
	5:17pm V Priceless: Miller Place is eastern Long Island
	5:17pm barney.grubbs: I am but an accidental lampooner.
	5:17pm Bryce: look out, fabio youtu.be...
	5:18pm JakeGould: “Barney Miller Place” was a mid-season replacement that went toe-to-to with “Archie’s Place.”
	5:18pm coelacanth: i had a date in little falls once. i met her at maxwell's. it wasn't great!
	5:19pm V Priceless: @ Bryce: where did you find those 'Game of Thrones" outtakes? Wow
	5:19pm steve: that is one classy ren fair video
	5:20pm Uncle Michael: Foe me, being in the same comments as Bryce is like being on the dark side of the moon.
	5:20pm Jherweg: Turn your hat around like "Lincoln Hawke" and take it OVER THE TOP.
	5:20pm northguineahills: Someone win the Holy Mountain sndtrk, please!
	5:21pm V Priceless: @ UM - maybe 'Journey To The Far Side of The Sun'
	5:21pm Caryn: I do love the ladies applauding the victorious LARPer. Some may call that guy a virgin nerd, but he's so getting laid that night.
	5:22pm ted: going to see Holy Mountain here at a theatre in Toronto tonight....very cool
	5:22pm Sem Chumbo: Don't lightning bolt me, bro.
	5:23pm RZ: Love Santa Sangre & HM. His new movie is really good, too! Jodorowsky pretty much rules.
	5:23pm V Priceless: haha Sem - nice one!
	5:24pm Marcel M: I mean then you could call Bushwick Queens. And it aint!
	5:24pm Cecile: did you just sing part of Al Stewart's On The Border, Wm?
	5:24pm GGG: Dude, Ridgewood is fucking Queens. Please don't be a new jack about this, you know better, Fabio..
	5:26pm Marie: @ bRYce https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDdTB1GzHJw Watching these makes me feel better about myself.... is that sad?
	5:26pm Greg from Bloomfield: Ridgewood NJ aka Upper East Side West.
	5:26pm Tommy: Check out Jodorowsy's Dune for an interesting look into the mind of this great filmmaker.
	5:26pm TDK60: Well, it's Spain technically. It's Catalonia also, and they have their own language, Catalan.
	5:26pm ga01: Barcelona is Catalonia NOT iSpain!!
	5:27pm Marcel M: ga01: Not quite yet!
	5:27pm Dean: Amo, amas, amat
	5:28pm TDK60: Marcel: Not quite again yet.
	5:28pm Dean: "We gotta protect complete morons!"
	5:29pm Marcel M: @TDK60: True, that had it for a bit there didn't they?
	5:29pm Polyus: Jesus I was taking a big drink of water when he said that.
	5:29pm JakeGould: “I’ve got to protect the purity of my nachos!”
	5:29pm Marcel M: they* not that
	5:30pm ga01: always been catalonia, the spanish thing?, we'll work it out : )
	5:30pm Jherweg: The old staff trick of "I'll pledge to your show if you pledge to mine" I always fall for that!
	5:31pm Marcel M: Hehe. Fair enough ga01. Is that where you reside? My wife is from there. Love it over there.
	5:31pm Sem Chumbo: it seems Catalonia wishes to sugar its own churro.
	5:32pm ga01: I'm from there, now I live in Harlem, NY. Salut!
	5:32pm djelrock: Catalunya if you are going to be literal. Catalonia is the Spanish word and they don't like that, oh no Señor.
	5:33pm Marie: Barthelona! I had a wonderful time there. Met some really neat people.
	5:33pm JakeGould: @ga01: Harlem is not a city in New York! Harlem is a part of Manhattan which is borough in the city of New York!
	5:33pm djelrock: It'l calling the "Basque Country" Pais Vasco and not Euskadi, right ga?
	5:34pm conkrete dawg: Clay!
	5:34pm djelrock: Crash the party Clay!
	5:35pm ga01: thx JakeGould
	5:35pm Marcel M: I thought the same thing about Clay!!!! I thought the music was a joke hahaha.
	5:36pm ga01: djelrock: Euskadi is the vasc word.
	5:36pm P-90: Clay is NOT "dry" and ironic, he's 100% sincere, that's his secret weapon
	5:36pm JakeGould: Clay is anti-Irony.
	5:36pm Uncle Michael: It's never occurred to me that people might think Clay's kidding.
	5:38pm JakeGould: @UncleMichael: I started using the words “beautiful” and “lovely” non-ironically a few years back because I was getting sick of NYC cynicism. Some people think I am screwing around. Nope. That]s the sick part of NYC: People think anything that is positive is a joke.
	5:38pm Caryn: @P-90: true. Absolute sincerity baffles a lot of people, just because people are so cynical that they can't comprehend that someone might be totally sincere about something. A large swathe of movies seems to be based on this premise.
	5:39pm Marcel M: Thats the thing I love about NYC Jake.
	5:39pm Marcel M: And I just said a positive statement... not cynically... or did I....
	5:39pm Uncle Michael: Clay listens to the people he interviews. He's amazing.
	5:40pm Looms: Volcano The Bear! I so heartfully love their work.
	5:40pm Marcel M: For me it was just hearing the music he played on WFMU and assuming it was a joke. Nothing too deep.
	5:40pm JakeGould: In fact I was on the subway and some guy brings his beagle on. And then starts feeding her Cheez Puffs. I just smiled and said, “That is beautiful…’ Because it was/is.
	5:40pm Marcel M: Love the pidge
	5:40pm Marcel M: @Jake: hahahah... that does seem like a beautiful sight.
	👻 5:40pm Ken From Hyde Park: Strength Through Pledging
	5:42pm JakeGould: @MarcelM: The thing is I was born and raised in NYC. And you get people moving here who think that being “negative” and “cynical” is what being a New Yorker is. But is has more to do with just being honest at all times. If something sucks, say it sucks… If you say something is nice, it’s nice… Simple…
	5:43pm Marcel M: True Jake.. I'm from the area myself. Lots of hacks move here. Lots of cool folks too.
	5:44pm Greg from Bloomfield: I tried to listen to Hot 97 on my drive to the train and it was literally commercials for 8 minutes. I had completely forgotten what the outside world was like...
	5:44pm Rory: I don't hear music on commercial radio. I just hear shit.
	5:44pm Marcel M: Actually the other day, I took stock of my closest friends, and they are all from the tri state area, or another country.
	5:44pm P-90: ... Spanish station, Spanish station, Phil Schaap talkathon, Spanish station...
	5:44pm coelacanth: there's no r & no b in today's "r & b".
	5:44pm Marie: Yeah Caryn, and anyone who is sincere a lot is portrayed as being kind of child-like. Shows you the shallwness of much mainstream media. Profit motive =sh*T
	5:44pm TDK60: There are some good music stations in the NYC area. WKCR plays some good jazz and classical. WNYU has some out-like stuff or indie rock sometimes. WNYE has some world music/ethnic shows.
	5:44pm Marcel M: @Greg: I had a similar experience in a cab with KTU.. they were talking about some product as if they actually loved/used it.. it was crazy. But I guess thats normal.
	5:45pm Marcel M: These two are cute together.
	5:46pm dale: i cried when the american standards station turned to disney.
	5:46pm anastasia: i do have a car, and it does suck parking it in ridgewood. oh cool, i won a cd!
	5:47pm JakeGould: @Anastasia: Ridgewood, Queens, NY right?
	5:48pm Greg from Bloomfield: Agreed, Marcel– this has been one of my favorite DJ pairings yet!
	5:48pm steve: "was he juliened?" hahahha
	5:48pm V Priceless: WNYC's 'New Sounds' was always a reliable source for interesting music, going back to the early 80's. WNYC was where I first discovered Joe Frank, too.
	5:48pm Marcel M: Yeah RW is rough for parking... Bushwick is okay but getting worse and worse.
	5:49pm Uncle Michael: Popeil Pocket DJ
	5:49pm TDK60: Fabio's co-host sounds like the beer has taken effect.
	5:49pm Dean: Ron Popiel is among the quick.
	5:49pm dale: i thought that was funny too - fabio probably only remembers the pocket fisherman
	5:50pm Rory: Hey Wm., bring the Pidge back to the Castle.
	5:50pm coelacanth: tupac was julienned...now he's tenpac.
	5:50pm Dean: Beer with a straw? Now that's funny.
	5:51pm dale: fabio - remember 'get your jimmy thicker, with colt malt liquor?'
	5:51pm barney.grubbs: looks like it was midnight dragon. the ad is down the page here: faithfulreaders.com...
	5:52pm djelrock: Yup. I believe you. You'd only c those in the hood. Just like the courveisier ads.
	5:52pm Dean: Midnight Dragon: http://bit.ly/1GxavOA
	5:52pm Guido from Cologne: Another version of the poster, but anyway: kihm7.files.wordpress.com...
	5:52pm Caryn: That was an ad for Midnight Dragon
	5:52pm roland: I remember that "suck on this" poster
	5:52pm Uncle Michael: Poster: kihm7.files.wordpress.com...
	5:52pm JakeGould: @barney.grubbs: Yes! kihm7.files.wordpress.com...
	5:52pm Dean: https://kihm7.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/ml-poster-suck.jpg
	5:53pm Uncle Michael: Googling fiends!
	5:53pm JakeGould: And the feminists shot the ad down. Bummer! books.google.com...
	5:53pm Dean: Actually, I remember the URL from a couple years ago.
	5:53pm Uncle Michael: Great show guys...heading for the car.
	5:53pm barney.grubbs: I don't remember seeing the ad on the west coast, but I can remember the sickly sweet flavor of the stuff. Only Laser malt liquor was nastier.
	5:54pm Cheri Pi: Midnight Dragon was my college beer!
	5:54pm JakeGould: The backstory is pretty funny, “Of course, one cannot discuss sex and malt liquor without a bow to Don Vultaggio and John Ferolito. These two young men from Brooklyn came up the hard way. After high school, they scraped together $200 and bought a VW bus to deliver beer to places avoided by timid truckers, stores in neighborhoods like Crown Heights and Bedford-Stuyvesant. By 1982, the pair had 25 trucks and a decade of experience delivering refreshment in these less than pastoral settings. Vultaggio and Ferolito learned what their customers wanted because they were on the street with them every day. One day they asked themselves why they were delivering other people’s beer when they could contract to brew their own and profit as both wholesalers and brewers. In 1986, they formed the Hornell Brewing Company and introduced Midnight Dragon Special Reserve Malt Liquor. What they lacked in marketing power, they made up for in audacity. Their first poster featured a woman sipping Midnight Dragon through a straw. The caption read, “I could SUCK on this all night.” You didn’t need a gypsy to read those tea leaves. When women’s groups protested, Ferolito told the Wall Street Journal, “Real men like sex and sex sells beer.” In fact, 22 separate groups protested the poster. Propelled by its notoriety, Midnight Dragon sold like hotcakes with malt syrup. As a cultured touch, its cans and bottles were emblazoned with an elegant crest and Latin inscription, “Epulis Accumbere Divum” (line 79 from the first book of Vergil’s Aeneid, “To recline at the feast of the gods”). For those eager to recline, Vultaggio and Ferolito delivered their new brew by the truckload — three million cases of Midnight Dragon annually.”
	5:54pm Cecile: bye! Go sober up, Wm.
	5:55pm coelacanth: still? my father used to get that home liquor- well,everything.
	5:56pm northguineahills: @Jake: I use fun, beautiful, and other adjectives and a lot of pretentious assholes get offended, b/c they think I'm being sarcastic, when I'm being genuine.
	5:57pm Caryn: @barney.grubbs: on that page you posted, for some reason the tag line of "Open up! with... Budweiser Malt Liquor" seems totally dirty now.
	5:58pm JakeGould: Honesty is a powerful weapon. <-- Future inspiring camp counselor.
	5:58pm redkayak: Look at the bright side: if you bat .470 you're in the Hall of Fame :)
	👻 5:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Congrats, Cheri Pi!
	5:59pm cheri pi: yay
	5:59pm JakeGould: @northguineahills: To be fair, when I have been pushed into a corner—sometimes physically—by an a-hole I will just say, “You are so fucking cute!” and squeeze their arm. No more effective way to defuse an a-hole than by acting like a sitcom ditz.
	5:59pm ?: 50%!!!
	6:00pm JakeGould: The glass is 1/2 full.
	6:01pm dale: poop - one year i won something on fabs show. it's been downhill since.
	6:02pm JakeGould: Strength Through Failure, Dale.
	6:03pm dale: HAH - you funny.....
	6:05pm northguineahills: @Jake: At this point in my life, I'm pretty sure I'm a sitcom ditz.
