	3:05pm r i s k y: Rip Last Rip Coleman
	3:06pm P-90: I've heard Fabio open his show with this countless times, and it ALWAYS makes me smile a little. Right now I could almost cry. For real.
	3:07pm cheri: p-90, you and me both
	3:09pm steve: hail giant man
	3:09pm Mister Dobalina: I have super soft, tear absorbing tissues for you both, just let me know.
	3:09pm Mutant: RIP
	👻 3:09pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Voodoo Party in Valhalla....
	3:10pm dale: love this - cheese meets extraordinary musicianship.
	3:11pm Cecile: What risky said!
	3:11pm Cecile: P-90, you know James Last is finally the King of Giant Land wherever he is.
	3:15pm Cooh John: At last.... knockin' on heaven's door.
	3:17pm P-90: Like I said, the novelty never wears off, the song gives me this little smile every week. Part of that is just purely the reminder that no matter how many sucky things happen in the world, at least there are wonderfully creative folks like Last out there.
	3:19pm cheri: james last will always be remembered!
	👻 3:20pm Ken From Hyde Park: First in our hearts. At least between 3 to 6 PM every Thursday.
	3:20pm Webhamster Henry: James Last, Ornette, and Christopher Lee jamming together. Well, maybe not together.
	3:22pm nic: i'll never get james last
	3:22pm Mutant: That would be an interesting jam session
	3:23pm Polyus: Heh, I was just coming to post that Silver Machine clip: www.youtube.com...
	👻 3:25pm Rev. Turnip Druid: change of the century: excellent.
	👻 3:27pm Rev. Turnip Druid: First heard Ornette at about age 10. The local library (out in suburbia) had a copy of NEW YORK IS NOW! and the sleeve just seemed PACKED with ALL-CAPS ENERGY, with exclamation marks! ... It blew my freaking face off.
	3:28pm coelacanth: damn. 'came in just for a bit of internet research; luckily caught a James Last tribute; now i'm done but having trouble getting back to work. (Hi Fabio and Failures...)
	3:28pm P-90: A bit surprised to hear that Ornette was only 85. One of those cats that seemed to have been around forever, or at least a very long while.
	3:28pm Polyus: I love the LP cover of This Is Our Music.
	3:31pm coelacanth: i took the unlikely road to Ornette -via David S Ware.
	3:33pm Claw!: Full disclosure: I've never really been into free jazz myself, but I respect Mr. Coleman and the fact that he was able to take jazz in a totally different direction.
	3:34pm fred: I only saw Ornette once, five or six years ago. The show was great, but what struck me the most was how he remained on stage to sign stuff and chat until the venue's staff got really insistent that he leave. I've rarely seen such joy in a musician during and after the show
	3:34pm Cecile: Ornette and Mingus got me hooked into jazz. then I worked backwards, sideways and forward.
	3:34pm Rory: R.I.P. Ornette Coleman, Christopher Lee, and James Last. So much death this week jeez!
	3:34pm northguineahills: Christopher Lee did do at least two metal albums (like recently if I remember correctly).
	3:35pm Rory: I just watched the "Curse of Frankenstein" last night.
	3:35pm dale: i am sadly one of those folks who hear this kind of music and yell 'make it stop'. i never understood fine wine either.
	3:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Dale: How are you on abstract painting? There's always the visual analogy...
	👻 3:37pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Honestly I never dug his Prime Time stuff nearly as much, but this material is blood & bones. Last year, scored a pristine copy of the CRISIS album and it became a fast favorite. A bit later (68ish) but mad..
	👻 3:38pm Rev. Turnip Druid: "tomorrow is the question" as well... brilliant.
	3:40pm dale: hard for me to equate form, line and color to musical notes, but i suppose it can be done,
	3:43pm coelacanth: jazz was originally the music of deviants and people outside of respectable society. "jazz" literally meant "noise". "free jazz" or "out jazz" is actually the only kind of jazz that truly lives up to the name "jazz". ( and conveniently,for my point's sake,is the only jazz i really love!)
	3:44pm Cecile: but it's still pretty respectable now.
	3:45pm coelacanth: ...as much as i Love and immeasurably respect Ornette Coleman, his music is usually not as cacophonous as i'd like.
	3:46pm Cecile: still, you gotta have a break from Peter Brotzmann from time to time, right?
	3:47pm coelacanth: Cecile i thought to say that because of the reference to fine wine, and how funny it is that jazz is considered respectable; refined; even "high-brow" now!
	3:47pm Claw!: Fish, I take it Albert Ayler-type stuff is more your speed?
	3:48pm Cecile: yep, I know!
	3:48pm coelacanth: 'Cile i can only take so much Brotzmann!
	3:48pm common: nice tribute here
	3:49pm cheri: great ornette coleman tunes.
	3:49pm coelacanth: Bear!, i actually like very little Ayler! his wine annoys the shit outa me!
	3:50pm Cecile: yeah, too much brotzmann is like being shot in the face with a cannon full of iron shards.
	3:50pm northguineahills: I always thought jazz came from the nineteen noughts slang of jass, which meant a fart, both in smell and noise.
	3:51pm Claw!: Hah! Well, then we have that in common. :-) You said 'cacophony,' so Ayler came to mind right away.
	3:52pm Chris from DC: I started to appreciate less cacophony when I got into Sonny Simmons I think.
	3:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Music is often described in visual terms: 'dark', 'bright'...I can't help but compare what happened w/ Music in the Modern era w/ what happened in Painting & such - it seems natural & reflexive to do so to me. It seems to me the same sort of argument from people that they can't 'relate' or 'understand' Free Jazz as saying Picasso shouldn't have two eyes on the same side of someone's face & there's no Art to it. - Jazz is the American Classical Music - & I can understand that - esp. for some African Americans - you're supposed to dress in suits for it & everything...The term 'Free Jazz' often implied not just Freeing the Forms - but the Contexts like that too - often very Political & such - like everything else into the 1960s...Gotta imagine how this Ornette hit people in the late 1950s. I think the words & terms 'Jazz' & 'Rock'n'Roll' can & did mean a lot of things - but primarily Sex.
	3:52pm cheri: thank you Fabio for the wonderful tributes!
	3:54pm Cecile: I like an awful lot of cacophonous stuff. I do like the beat to be a little less abstract, but there are some free improvisors in both percussion and reeds I really like.
	3:54pm Cecile: and what cheri said. I gotta go to a meeting. Be back soon I hope.
	3:55pm fred: @Cecile: That's the good Brötzmann. Sadly, I've heard a lot of the sleepwalking one. Though I've been more lucky in the past couple of years, I hope the trend holds
	3:55pm dale: jazz did mean sex. i remember scatman carruthers on mike douglas - mike asked about him playing jazz clubs early in his career and scatman said 'no, no, no - i won't use that word. that means dirty things...'
	3:57pm coelacanth: Cecile i just saw your analogy! Yeah,it is! - but i still love Brotzmann!
	4:00pm northguineahills: Gotta go, clicky starred this episode.
	4:01pm Claw!: Later, ngh!
	👻 4:02pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Ed Blackwell was supernatural.
	4:03pm coelacanth: ciao ngh! i've got to work too. later on y'all Thanks Fabio!
	4:06pm SeanG: Did James Last write the song "Mr. Giant Man"?
	4:06pm coelacanth: oh- i should make it clear that i still listen to Coleman pretty regularly,despite my cacophonous leanings! ...bye!
	4:07pm Claw!: Later, Fish!
	4:10pm fred: In other possibly bad news, a friend sent me an email saying "Yoichi: over" with this link: dd.hokkaido-np.co.jp... I can't read Japanese, and google translate is awfully ambiguous about crucial details. Can anyone make sense of this?
	4:11pm cheri: I got to check out also see you all soon! may I say once more I love the mr giant man tune!
	4:11pm Lulu: jazz makes me feel anxious!
	4:11pm Mark: Fabio, Leave it to you to do a Fabulous tribute program today. "Sadness" from the Town Hall Concert is the absolute perfect, perfect, perfect piece today, isn't it?
	4:11pm Lulu: it rattles my nerves!
	4:12pm Lulu: I'm freaking oooouuuuuuuuuuut !!
	👻 4:13pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Back from a meeting to the LoveCall LP! Perfect companion to NY is Now.. I have yet to clicky-star an entire show but dammit, this may be the day...
	4:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Lulu: As far as nerves, there is the idea that this is Cold War stuff & all that. (So is Film Noir, & so on.) Charles Lloyd: 'Charlie Parker discovered the atom, & Coltrane split it.'
	4:17pm tim from champaign: Hi Fabio and everyone. Just checking in again. I'll be checking today's show later in the archives. Fabio's tributes are always great. In other sad news, I just learned that The American Dream Dusty Rhodes has also passed. RIP Dusty. I'm bummed.
	4:18pm Stepchild: THANK YOU FABIO!
	4:20pm Stepchild: The Golden Circle albums were my entrypoint to free music...
	4:26pm Cecile: Mr. Fabio, could you play something from Science Fiction?
	4:26pm johnforz: this is from Science Fiction Cecile!
	4:27pm johnforz: Ornette's late 70's weirdo-dissonant-harmony fusion stuff rules too
	4:28pm Cecile: oh, cool! That's right. Der!!!!! I am a little out of it.
	4:28pm Cecile: Fabio just hasn't updated.
	4:30pm fred: The Failure of Playlist Update
	4:30pm Cecile: awesome!
	4:31pm Listener Robert: Don't be so sad, P-90. After all, James Last was one of those people who, when remarked about on this show or the comments, would elicit the comment, "He's still alive!?"
	4:32pm Cecile: johnforz, I know! I posted a YouTube video of Dancing in Your Head on my Twitter feed.
	4:33pm Lulu: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63 OMG
	4:35pm Listener Robert: It's been assumed by many (me for a while) that "jazz" originally meant "fuck", so jazz music was called that because it was imagined to be the music of fucking, or music to fuck by. But I understand those who've researched it better have mostly concluded that the music had that name 1st, then it became a euphemism for sexual intercourse.
	4:35pm johnforz: ha, that album is so good (and one of my favorite front/back covers)... also Body Meta. Of Human Feelings is another really weird one that's kinda great. You can trace those records directly to a lot of English Post-Punk of the time.. he was so influential
	4:38pm Cecile: It is said that jazz started in the bordellos of New Orleans. Mine too, johnforz. I think Ornette never made a terrible record, and he never sold out to pop. that's something.
	4:38pm Cecile: not that I don't like some pop-jazz, but Ornette wasn't pop, and I don't think he had a pop mentality.
	4:39pm Listener Robert: See, bordellos must've had class just to have music!
	4:42pm Cecile: I hope Christopher Lee got his annual rereading of Tolkien's works done.
	4:43pm Marshall Stacks: And for those into typography: RIP Hermann Zapf.
	👻 4:46pm Rev. Turnip Druid: definitely a type geek here. saw the Zapf notice as well...
	👻 4:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: Good gravy. The ferryman is going to need a bigger boat.
	4:48pm Cecile: oh Zapf passed? He was one of the last great calligraphic masters as well as being known for his type.
	4:48pm Dean: OED speculates that "jazz" might have been a variant of "jasm," which means "energy, spirit, 'pep,'" and that "jasm" is apparently a variant of "jism," which means the same. A second meaning of "jism," also recorded in OED: semen, sperm. Yeah, Zapf's a loss to the print world.
	4:50pm Cecile: I use more Optima than I want to admit.
	4:53pm Chris from DC: This Alexiadis thing is really nice, by the way.
	4:56pm Mark Williams: re James Last, I don't know if this got mentioned yet, but what's also interesting about him is he's one of two Germans that made it big in England after the war. The other was a famous soccer goalkeeper. It's an interesting phenomenon, given how vilified Germans became and remained in England for decades thereafter.
	4:59pm nic: this is super !!!!!!!!!
	👻 4:59pm Rev. Turnip Druid: On the bummer side, Zapf does have Palatino to answer for, but hell, it was a different time...
	👻 5:04pm Rev. Turnip Druid: also: what th'Toad said.
	5:14pm common: i believe 'tis beersie time.
	5:19pm Chris from DC: Truer words were never spoken.
	5:22pm mariano: It's great to see respects being played to Ornette Coleman, may he rest in peace. Now what about some of Christopher Lee's metal album? Hi everyone by the way!
	5:26pm nic: love P16.D4
	5:34pm Stepchild: BLURT!
	5:35pm nic: love blurt !!!
	5:35pm Guido from Cologne: Hi Fabio, great show!
	5:35pm Cecile: hahahaha that is a great feminist joke (the old tee-shirt slogan "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle")
	5:36pm nic: when asian women 1st came out i googled them_got a link to asian phone porn & call girls :-)
	5:38pm Stepchild: Oh! Always heard "A man needs religion like a fish needs a bike"
	👻 5:38pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Either way, that fish ain't gettin' nowhere.
	5:40pm Marcel M: Fabio! Friends.
	5:41pm Marcel M: Gonna have to archive all this Ornette Coleman goodness
	5:41pm Santos L Halper: Thanks Fabio for the dual tributes. Now to go pull out some more Ornette...
	5:42pm mariano: That's funny, nic: once, on a design project, I had to look up a logo for a Brazilian brand of snack or drink called Sensaçoes (sensations), so I Googled, at work, that word with Brazil. I had to turn off my monitor after what popped up on the screen!
	5:43pm nic: hahaha_mariano :-)
	5:44pm mariano: Yeah, apparently putting Brazil in front of things returns naughty images.
	5:46pm Tim: This is really more of a Dusty Show selection
	5:47pm slugluv1313: ahhhhh LOVELY f'd up version of "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" THANK YOU!!!
	5:49pm TDK60: Thanks for Ornette who helped us get freer. And who was open-minded enough to open for the Grateful Dead.
	5:49pm Marcel M: I donno Tim would Clay play Television? Maybe one of those rare and beautiful crossover moments..
	5:50pm Marcel M: Haha.. doesn't sound like the GNR version at all.
	5:51pm Cecile: I think it was recorded at CBGB's and it was originally part of the Arrow bootleg.
	5:51pm V Priceless: excellent Magazine selection! BN = Be Bop Deluxe
	5:51pm ░Ī Ҡ ℰ░:: The day Fabio would play those lame-Os Guns 'N Roses is the day I get my name legally fucked changed to Abraham Dumptruck Lincoln.
	5:51pm TDK60: Bill Nelson was in Be Bop Deluxe.
	5:52pm mariano: Oh come on Fabio! "I Ran" is one of the best songs!
	5:53pm Cecile: Dusty Rhodes!
	5:53pm Tim: Dusty Rhodes!
	5:53pm V Priceless: yeah Dusty is dust
	5:53pm Ĩkє: *fucking changed Deaths don't happen in threes. That's such baloney. They happen in 33s. Or 45s.
	5:53pm Marcel M: Randy Rhoads the wrestler.. hehe. He basically was.
	5:53pm Rich in Washington: Vincent 'the bug' Bugliosi also died this week.
	5:55pm YETI BOB: I WAS AT THAT SHOW!
	5:55pm Marcel M: Fred Frith playing Keiji Haino on WFMU in the 70s... man what could be cooler?!??!
	5:55pm Cecile: Fred Neil
	5:55pm Cecile: Freddy Mercury
	5:55pm mariano: Fred Buscaglione!
	5:56pm YETI BOB: Mississippi Fred McDowell
	5:56pm mariano: "Freddy del whiskey facile" -- great Buscaglione song.
	5:56pm V Priceless: Barry..Barry Chopin
	5:57pm Smarty Marty: Fred Flintstone!
	5:57pm common: fred schnieder. sp?
	5:57pm Tim: Dusty was one of the few pro wrestlers to get a mention in popular music. Chuck Leavell's band, Sea Level's "That's Your Secret."
	👻 5:57pm Ken From Hyde Park: Freddie Fender?
	5:58pm Vinny Borselli: fred Wesley (James Brown)
	5:58pm V Priceless: Freddie Kaboodleschnitzer!!
	5:58pm Cecile: Fred Armisen
	5:59pm Cecile: VP, that's right! From Skyhooks!
	5:59pm V Priceless: Yes, C!
	5:59pm common: nice vp, cecile!
	5:59pm slugluv1313: was "The Blow Up" recorded at The Bottom Line???

	6:01pm Marcel M: Bye Fab!
	6:01pm Cheri Pi: Fred rogers
	👻 6:08pm Ken From Hyde Park: @slugluv1313 - According to this www.bombmagazine.org..., it was recorded at CBGB in 1978.

	3:50pm northguineahills: I always thought jazz came from the nineteen noughts slang of jass, which meant a fart, both in smell and noise.
	3:51pm Claw!: Hah! Well, then we have that in common. :-) You said 'cacophony,' so Ayler came to mind right away.
	3:52pm Chris from DC: I started to appreciate less cacophony when I got into Sonny Simmons I think.
	3:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Music is often described in visual terms: 'dark', 'bright'...I can't help but compare what happened w/ Music in the Modern era w/ what happened in Painting & such - it seems natural & reflexive to do so to me. It seems to me the same sort of argument from people that they can't 'relate' or 'understand' Free Jazz as saying Picasso shouldn't have two eyes on the same side of someone's face & there's no Art to it. - Jazz is the American Classical Music - & I can understand that - esp. for some African Americans - you're supposed to dress in suits for it & everything...The term 'Free Jazz' often implied not just Freeing the Forms - but the Contexts like that too - often very Political & such - like everything else into the 1960s...Gotta imagine how this Ornette hit people in the late 1950s. I think the words & terms 'Jazz' & 'Rock'n'Roll' can & did mean a lot of things - but primarily Sex.
	3:52pm cheri: thank you Fabio for the wonderful tributes!
	3:54pm Cecile: I like an awful lot of cacophonous stuff. I do like the beat to be a little less abstract, but there are some free improvisors in both percussion and reeds I really like.
	3:54pm Cecile: and what cheri said. I gotta go to a meeting. Be back soon I hope.
	3:55pm fred: @Cecile: That's the good Brötzmann. Sadly, I've heard a lot of the sleepwalking one. Though I've been more lucky in the past couple of years, I hope the trend holds
	3:55pm dale: jazz did mean sex. i remember scatman carruthers on mike douglas - mike asked about him playing jazz clubs early in his career and scatman said 'no, no, no - i won't use that word. that means dirty things...'
	3:57pm coelacanth: Cecile i just saw your analogy! Yeah,it is! - but i still love Brotzmann!
	4:00pm northguineahills: Gotta go, clicky starred this episode.
	4:01pm Claw!: Later, ngh!
	👻 4:02pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Ed Blackwell was supernatural.
	4:03pm coelacanth: ciao ngh! i've got to work too. later on y'all Thanks Fabio!
	4:06pm SeanG: Did James Last write the song "Mr. Giant Man"?
	4:06pm coelacanth: oh- i should make it clear that i still listen to Coleman pretty regularly,despite my cacophonous leanings! ...bye!
	4:07pm Claw!: Later, Fish!
	4:10pm fred: In other possibly bad news, a friend sent me an email saying "Yoichi: over" with this link: dd.hokkaido-np.co.jp... I can't read Japanese, and google translate is awfully ambiguous about crucial details. Can anyone make sense of this?
	4:11pm cheri: I got to check out also see you all soon! may I say once more I love the mr giant man tune!
	4:11pm Lulu: jazz makes me feel anxious!
	4:11pm Mark: Fabio, Leave it to you to do a Fabulous tribute program today. "Sadness" from the Town Hall Concert is the absolute perfect, perfect, perfect piece today, isn't it?
	4:11pm Lulu: it rattles my nerves!
	4:12pm Lulu: I'm freaking oooouuuuuuuuuuut !!
	👻 4:13pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Back from a meeting to the LoveCall LP! Perfect companion to NY is Now.. I have yet to clicky-star an entire show but dammit, this may be the day...
	4:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @Lulu: As far as nerves, there is the idea that this is Cold War stuff & all that. (So is Film Noir, & so on.) Charles Lloyd: 'Charlie Parker discovered the atom, & Coltrane split it.'
	4:17pm tim from champaign: Hi Fabio and everyone. Just checking in again. I'll be checking today's show later in the archives. Fabio's tributes are always great. In other sad news, I just learned that The American Dream Dusty Rhodes has also passed. RIP Dusty. I'm bummed.
	4:18pm Stepchild: THANK YOU FABIO!
	4:20pm Stepchild: The Golden Circle albums were my entrypoint to free music...
	4:26pm Cecile: Mr. Fabio, could you play something from Science Fiction?
	4:26pm johnforz: this is from Science Fiction Cecile!
	4:27pm johnforz: Ornette's late 70's weirdo-dissonant-harmony fusion stuff rules too
	4:28pm Cecile: oh, cool! That's right. Der!!!!! I am a little out of it.
	4:28pm Cecile: Fabio just hasn't updated.
	4:30pm fred: The Failure of Playlist Update
	4:30pm Cecile: awesome!
	4:31pm Listener Robert: Don't be so sad, P-90. After all, James Last was one of those people who, when remarked about on this show or the comments, would elicit the comment, "He's still alive!?"
	4:32pm Cecile: johnforz, I know! I posted a YouTube video of Dancing in Your Head on my Twitter feed.
	4:33pm Lulu: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63 OMG
	4:35pm Listener Robert: It's been assumed by many (me for a while) that "jazz" originally meant "fuck", so jazz music was called that because it was imagined to be the music of fucking, or music to fuck by. But I understand those who've researched it better have mostly concluded that the music had that name 1st, then it became a euphemism for sexual intercourse.
	4:35pm johnforz: ha, that album is so good (and one of my favorite front/back covers)... also Body Meta. Of Human Feelings is another really weird one that's kinda great. You can trace those records directly to a lot of English Post-Punk of the time.. he was so influential
	4:38pm Cecile: It is said that jazz started in the bordellos of New Orleans. Mine too, johnforz. I think Ornette never made a terrible record, and he never sold out to pop. that's something.
	4:38pm Cecile: not that I don't like some pop-jazz, but Ornette wasn't pop, and I don't think he had a pop mentality.
	4:39pm Listener Robert: See, bordellos must've had class just to have music!
	4:42pm Cecile: I hope Christopher Lee got his annual rereading of Tolkien's works done.
	4:43pm Marshall Stacks: And for those into typography: RIP Hermann Zapf.
	👻 4:46pm Rev. Turnip Druid: definitely a type geek here. saw the Zapf notice as well...
	👻 4:47pm Ken From Hyde Park: Good gravy. The ferryman is going to need a bigger boat.
	4:48pm Cecile: oh Zapf passed? He was one of the last great calligraphic masters as well as being known for his type.
	4:48pm Dean: OED speculates that "jazz" might have been a variant of "jasm," which means "energy, spirit, 'pep,'" and that "jasm" is apparently a variant of "jism," which means the same. A second meaning of "jism," also recorded in OED: semen, sperm. Yeah, Zapf's a loss to the print world.
	4:50pm Cecile: I use more Optima than I want to admit.
	4:53pm Chris from DC: This Alexiadis thing is really nice, by the way.
	4:56pm Mark Williams: re James Last, I don't know if this got mentioned yet, but what's also interesting about him is he's one of two Germans that made it big in England after the war. The other was a famous soccer goalkeeper. It's an interesting phenomenon, given how vilified Germans became and remained in England for decades thereafter.
	4:59pm nic: this is super !!!!!!!!!
	👻 4:59pm Rev. Turnip Druid: On the bummer side, Zapf does have Palatino to answer for, but hell, it was a different time...
	👻 5:04pm Rev. Turnip Druid: also: what th'Toad said.
	5:14pm common: i believe 'tis beersie time.
	5:19pm Chris from DC: Truer words were never spoken.
	5:22pm mariano: It's great to see respects being played to Ornette Coleman, may he rest in peace. Now what about some of Christopher Lee's metal album? Hi everyone by the way!
	5:26pm nic: love P16.D4
	5:34pm Stepchild: BLURT!
	5:35pm nic: love blurt !!!
	5:35pm Guido from Cologne: Hi Fabio, great show!
	5:35pm Cecile: hahahaha that is a great feminist joke (the old tee-shirt slogan "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle")
	5:36pm nic: when asian women 1st came out i googled them_got a link to asian phone porn & call girls :-)
	5:38pm Stepchild: Oh! Always heard "A man needs religion like a fish needs a bike"
	👻 5:38pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Either way, that fish ain't gettin' nowhere.
	5:40pm Marcel M: Fabio! Friends.
	5:41pm Marcel M: Gonna have to archive all this Ornette Coleman goodness
	5:41pm Santos L Halper: Thanks Fabio for the dual tributes. Now to go pull out some more Ornette...
	5:42pm mariano: That's funny, nic: once, on a design project, I had to look up a logo for a Brazilian brand of snack or drink called Sensaçoes (sensations), so I Googled, at work, that word with Brazil. I had to turn off my monitor after what popped up on the screen!
	5:43pm nic: hahaha_mariano :-)
	5:44pm mariano: Yeah, apparently putting Brazil in front of things returns naughty images.
	5:46pm Tim: This is really more of a Dusty Show selection
	5:47pm slugluv1313: ahhhhh LOVELY f'd up version of "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" THANK YOU!!!

	5:49pm Marcel M: I donno Tim would Clay play Television? Maybe one of those rare and beautiful crossover moments..
	5:50pm Marcel M: Haha.. doesn't sound like the GNR version at all.

	5:51pm V Priceless: excellent Magazine selection! BN = Be Bop Deluxe

	5:52pm mariano: Oh come on Fabio! "I Ran" is one of the best songs!

	5:53pm Tim: Dusty Rhodes!
	5:53pm V Priceless: yeah Dusty is dust

	5:53pm Marcel M: Randy Rhoads the wrestler.. hehe. He basically was.
