	9:02am Matt Warwick: Good morning friend!
	9:03am Marcel M: Morning Chris and friends.
	9:04am Chris M.: good morning!!
	9:05am steveo: After yesterday's Bowie-fest, my first thought, was oh no, has Rod Stewart died? (Answer: not that I can tell.) Lovely piece of music. Good morning Chris.
	9:07am SeanG: this song rules
	9:09am KP: You left the Television on, Chris.
	9:09am Ryab: Morning Chris!
	9:09am annie: checking in!
	9:09am P-90: Good morning Chris and Magi. Big turning of the page from '71 to '77.
	9:10am Cheri Pi: Good morn'n your Chrisseminency
	9:12am BrianFromMA: Bevis Frond is still at it? Cool...
	9:12am Chris from DC: Yay, more Frond. Morning.
	9:12am Chris M.: @BrianFromMA: album of the year 2015
	9:13am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: No love, you're not alone.
	9:13am Polyus: Really enjoying all the new Bevis Frond stuff on this show. He is kind of hard to keep up with - somehow manages to crank out a new record almost every year.
	9:14am bill: THis is new? wow
	9:15am P-90: There was probably a solid half-decade or better there when Rod's voice was a defining sound of Rock. We forget how much. Just sayin.
	9:15am Neanderthal Head: Four Suitcases?! That's a lot of clothing.
	9:16am Marcel M: @P-90: True, and very odd to think about.
	9:18am P-90: Captain Kangaroo was huge in his day too.
	9:18am BrianFromMA: When I bought this TRex LP as a kid this was the only song on it I liked...thanks for spinning it
	9:19am Neanderthal Head: Oh, man, I need TV when I've got T-Rex...
	9:21am DreamCricket: Oh sweet David. Morning all, Morning Mr. M
	9:21am Chris from DC: This one stops me in my tracks every time.
	9:23am Marcel M: Great song. Parts of Blackstar remind me of Pink Floyd.
	9:23am BrianFromMA: Boy doesn't it sound a lot better hearing Donny McCaslin playing the sax than Bowie...never liked his sax tone at all. What a great album this is.
	9:24am steveo: Well that gave me massive goosebumps.
	9:24am duke: Gorgeous Bowie song
	9:33am Cecile: P-90, ITA. Good morning all! Pi, you've got rhubarb pie.
	9:34am Cecile: I can't give anything away is amazing. It would have been a hit in 1984, 2004, and 2054. Gorgeous song.
	9:35am Cecile: goddamn it, Bowie. You make a whole album I like, and it's your last one!!!
	9:35am Rev. Turnip Druid: FOKES.
	9:36am Cecile: although Joe Belock showed me that I like enough of Scary Monsters to count it as one I like too.
	9:36am northguineahills: ahh, Rev Turnip Druid, I got a wire comp w/ a track of yours on it, nicely done!
	9:37am Cecile: that's AWESOME! congrats rev!
	9:38am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Chris M. and Powerball non-winners.
	9:39am Devin B.: Stun Gun is my new favorite song.
	9:39am Cecile: ITA Devin. You could also rework it as "Stud Gun". Just saying.
	9:40am Mark R.: "Stun Gun" is hilarious and great!
	9:40am Rev. Turnip Druid: thx NGH! The label is having some kind of wicked soiree up in NYC this weekend, with live noises. It's a bit off the DC metro for me, alas...
	9:41am frog wizard: If only I won the powerball, I could have all the stun goons I'd want
	9:42am Neanderthal Head: Rocked Station to Station this morning. Anybody else really rate this album? Like everybody?
	9:44am Cecile: I didn't like Golden Years when I was a kid. I've grown to like it, TVC 15, and wild is the wind (although Johnny Mathis still owns that one).
	9:45am Cecile: here's what making me sniffle today, all these kids on Youtube going "I'm a teenager and I just discovered this David Bowie guy...." Sort of like me and Elvis.
	9:45am MD: good morning all!
	9:48am northguineahills: @Rev: I'd love to go, but alas, I'm still unemployed.
	9:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I guess discovering Bowie is a little like discovering Elvis (Rawk!), & a little like discovering the Velvet Underground (you too??!). I've been thinking that one thing about Bowie is definitely the getting hipped to various albums / parts / phases of his oeuvre - & who did that too you & when. Frankly I'm still discovering Bowie - tho' pretty solid on his earliest stuff...
	9:50am Cecile: revrab, I've warmer to him more over that last couple of decades, and I'm sure wfmu plays a big role in that.
	9:51am MD: David will ALWAYS live in our Hearts and Souls!!! Thanks Mr. Bowie...
	9:52am Neanderthal Head: I always loved Golden Years (check out the dancing on the Soul Train performance). Wild Is the Wind is amazing, too, as is the title track. And Word on a Wing, and...
	9:53am Matt Warwick: :(
	9:53am coelacanth: good morning Chris and all
	9:54am bobdoesthings: good morning
	9:55am P-90: IMO all of Bowie's seventies albums have some great stuff on them. He was consistently original, inventive, and very, very musical. He always applied great taste to whatever he was experimenting with (whatever "great taste" means)
	9:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: My personal re Bowie fwiw (we all have one)...though one keeps thinking of still other things to say about him & what he meant : I was a little brother - my Big Brother nine years older than me - & into Rawk & Glam (I remember it being called 'GlitterRawk' @ the time, but nevermind) even in smalltown NewHampshire. So - more often than not - the music would come half-clear from the other room - thru walls & under doors. Things like Bowie in the early 1970s & my pre-teenage years, then, were powerful & mysterious indeed. (A sheltered 10-year-old half-hears 'Future Legend': l.facebook.com...… Get the picture?) Then came self-made cassettes (later taping everybody's albums they had: Bowie's oeuvre was large & diverse & impactful enuff, it was worth long pursuit) & eventually LPs - then occasional films & finally CDs. He was always there. ...videos before 'videos' & of course the visual & theatrical expression: he was an Auteur who seemed to have another level or dimension (or @ least - or even better - suggest them) than other Rawkers... When Bowie had something new - it was pay attention or be left behind. Bowie unquestionably introduced & acclimated individuals & Society to Gayness more than anyone else ever. Elvis & Buddy Holly took us somewhere - then TheBeatles - & the Stones took us somewhere...Dylan. Then - the doors & Syd Barrett took us somewhere - & where could we possibly go from there? Bowie was a big part of the answer - & he was no less than that & in that company. He added to the lexicon & vocabulary as much as anyone. As Abstract Art becomes Universal by not being Representational - by mirroring the internal world of every individual - so Bowie became the strangest kind of Folk Music of the people w/ concepts & artifice. Titanic. That was an Artist.
	9:56am coelacanth: what Matt said.
	9:58am SHAGALOV: MORNING WFMU! ☕
	10:00am common: good day!
	10:01am Video Booth: Good Morning Chris!
	10:02am rjk: Great words RR Nov63.
	10:03am Cecile: Wow, this is a good song!
	10:04am Cecile: hey, chris m, are you going to play those also-rans, Horrendous?
	10:04am Marcel M: I enjoyed it as well. Loved the guitar samples.
	10:05am Cecile: I kind of love those raps where the tough guys let their guard down and reflect a little on the universe.
	10:08am Marcel M: I think he is known to be a reflective sort of guy in general.
	10:09am Cecile: that's cool.
	10:09am Chris M.: @Cecile: next week i'm only playing Horrendous. every track they've done ranked from worst to best.
	10:09am Cecile: don't tease me.
	10:11am sweir: BOAR rocked! Thank you for playing.
	10:12am Ryab: Wow, great selections today
	10:15am Chris M.: really nice for me to get back to a regular show but don't worry there are themed shows coming up soon! it's a new year so you know what that means.
	10:15am Caryn: Hmm, what music would be appropriate for an Alan Rickman tribute? All I can think of is that Bill Nighy song from "Love Actually", because a WFMU dj is not gonna bust out Bryan Adams. Any ideas?
	10:16am Cecile: OH NO. Bowie and Alan Rickman in the same week for my friend!
	10:16am dcp: @Chris M: that means less drinking, or eating right themes? Regular exercise them?
	10:17am Greg from ZONE 5: And they were the same age. This is such a bullshit week.
	10:17am Caryn: Seriously, cool Brits are dropping like flies. Someone better be checking in on Bryan Ferry, Eno etc. pretty much every hour now.
	10:17am dcp: Regular exercise *theme, goddammmitttt.
	10:18am Caryn: @Greg: same age, both to cancer. It's as if the universe is trying to set up a "69 club" to compete with the "27 club". Sheesh.
	10:19am Marcel M: I missed my chance at the 27 club so maybe I'll get into the 69 club.
	10:20am Rev. Turnip Druid: missed th'Mammut, dammit. ...that practically rhymes. but still.
	10:20am Cecile: Caryn, I've said that a while back! I went "Steve Lacy, Clarence Clemons, Captain Beefheart - the 69 death club is real"
	10:22am Marcel M: Well Lemmy just missed it.
	10:23am P-90: Alan Rickman?! NO!!! (sob) Oh, how I do NOT want the FMU site to be where I'm constantly getting death notices......
	10:23am Andrew Waterloo: Lemmy always did his own thing.
	10:23am common: man, what a shit year thus far.
	10:23am bobdoesthings: @marcel... ohhh so many jokes to make here.. I'll just leave it..
	10:23am Marcel M: @Bob: yeah.. I was gonna slip one in but decided to leave it as well.
	10:24am dcp: ok, what did Alan Rickman do besides the Harry Potter thing that I should know about?
	10:24am DreamCricket: Seeing 1349 tonight bring the HELLFIRE!
	10:24am Cecile: he's one of the few good things in Love, Actually.
	10:25am bobdoesthings: @marcel... it's all about slipping one in in the 69 club
	10:25am Marcel M: Bowie dying shocked me as well cuz he was, well, Bowie.. but lets not get too hung up on people dying, guys. We all gonna die. No biggie.
	10:25am glenn: he turned die hard from a pretty good movie into a great movie.
	10:25am Ken From Hyde Park: @dcp - He was Hans Gruber in the original Die Hard movie.
	10:25am Rev. Turnip Druid: This will do nicely.
	10:25am Marcel M: @Bob: Haha.. I led you right into that.
	10:25am John: This is perfect Alan Rickman music. Whoever that is.
	10:25am Cecile: Galaxy Quest!
	10:26am Cecile: Dogma.
	10:26am bobdoesthings: @marcel - I feel like I coulda done better given that setup. im a child
	10:26am John: Can you play something in honor of Richard Libertini?
	10:26am dcp: Die Hard?
	10:26am glenn: by grabnar's sword!
	10:26am Chris M.: he played Hilly Kristal in CBGB
	10:27am Andrew Waterloo: Hans Gruber
	10:27am P-90: We gotta get of our asses and do something about cancer for reals, yo
	10:27am Cecile: by grabnar's hammer, I will avenge your death!
	10:27am Caryn: Remaining 69-year-olds: Tim Curry, John Waters, Charles Dance, David Lynch, Joe Dante, Eugene Levy, Cheech Marin, David Gilmour, John Paul Jones, Al Green, Diane Keaton, Cher, Susan Sarandon, Dolly Parton, Joanna Lumley, Jane Birkin, Patti Smith... Oh dear, some of these people better make it at least a little while. On the positive side, Trump is 69, so...
	10:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dayum. Drummer.
	10:27am dcp: Alright, never mind. But I agree with P-90, what the hell??
	10:28am Cecile: him too? Damn.
	10:28am Marcel M: @P-90: Sounds like Huckabee when he was like, "fuck the terrorists! Lets kill CANCER!"
	10:28am dcp: hilarious @Caryn!
	10:28am bobdoesthings: @p-90 - good luck killing a huge money maker for the medical industry.
	10:28am glenn: oh right. hammer. i should have known that.
	10:28am Rev. Turnip Druid: As much as the Hitchhiker's Guide remake was doomed, Rickman was the only possible choice for Marvin.
	10:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - then again - someone cures Cancer - they're Jesus. Good career move.
	10:29am glenn: it sounds better than grabnar's nail gun.
	10:29am Rev. Turnip Druid: Cancer is the new "natural causes," so it seems.
	10:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sunlight causes cancer.
	10:30am Cecile: it's actually more a disease of old age, so yay for people living longer, I guess.
	10:30am Marcel M: Despise the sun
	10:31am Rev. Turnip Druid: "Sleep gives you cancer. Everybody knows that." -Neil
	10:31am Cecile: Mr. Burns: "Since the beginning of time, man has yearned to destroy the sun."
	10:31am dcp: You'd think there would be enough you guns out there trying to make a name for themselves to "cure cancer." Problem is that term is meaningless--cancer is a myriad of diseases requiring multiple treatments.
	10:32am P-90: BITCHIN' career move!
	10:32am SiHV: False. Eff yeah Minneapolis.
	10:33am Polyus: Goddamn these young punks False have become a monster of a live band.
	10:33am Cecile: yay, something new and good from here.
	10:34am Greg from ZONE 5: @Chris M: I haven't seen Avatar, but I found time to watch that dumb ass CBGB movie…
	10:36am dcp: I've been thinking I have to get around to watching Avatar too. Is that Snape guy in it?
	10:36am Cecile: greg, I saw it drunk and with the sound off in a Mexican gay sports bar in Minneapolis one afternoon while peole were waiting for the futbol to come on. That was probably the best way to see it.
	10:36am Marcel M: @Greg: Was it as painful as it promised to be?
	10:36am Marcel M: @Cecile: Avatar or CBGB? Seeing anything in that situation sounds good to me.
	10:37am Ami: Morning everybody.Great sounds today,thank you Chris
	10:37am Rev. Turnip Druid: @Cecile: that sounds like the ideal way to see just about anything.
	10:37am Cecile: Avatar. I couldn't bear to watch CBGB.
	10:37am Caryn: @dcp: well, with all the CGI, you can pretend he's in it. He certainly would've improved that film.
	10:37am dcp: ..especially futbol
	10:38am Rev. Turnip Druid: Precisely, DCP..
	10:38am Cecile: I miss that place. They had great food and margaritas. But then they opened another gay bar across the street with great food and margaritas and drag shows, so it's a pretty good trade.
	10:39am dcp: I need to get to more gay, sports, drag, food bars...
	10:41am Cecile: well my local started as a food bar. Then the owner's ex-partner gunned him down and ran over him with a car. it kept going while they figured out the estate. Then, someone totally committed to good value, a welcoming vibe and theatre bought the place. it's been great.
	10:43am Cecile: they opened an Asian/gastro/beer pub across the street in the old place. Their business is slow and their prices are high and their food sounds kind of bad. But I might go in there for a beer just to feel the place out.
	10:44am Brendan: Bars need more TVs and people immersed in their phones so , you know, we can all spend more time not talking to each other.
	10:45am dcp: In my neighborhood, somebody bought the totally crappy dc local band venue and turned it into a Republican sports bar (meaning the wrong kind of football). Sucks. And Bourbon (the name says it all)
	10:45am Cecile: That sounds sad.
	10:46am dcp: ..uh, meant to say "and Bourbon closed.
	10:46am bobdoesthings: @brendan - hah!
	10:47am Devin B.: @DCP: what place got turned into a republican sports bar?
	10:48am Rev. Turnip Druid: "republican sports bar" sounds like it needs to be down in the NoVA suburbs.... THAT side of the river...
	10:48am Chris M.: i still like to go to Tiki Peter's for a traditional Polynesian libation such as the Strawberry Scratch n Snif or the Pineapple Polo Sport. takes me away to the islands of paradise
	10:49am dcp: Grog and Tankard. Played there many times myself.
	10:49am dcp: @Rev: yeah well they actually bus them in on the weekends. Nobody local goes there. And then the place is closed during the week. How does that work??
	10:50am Cecile: what a great name!
	10:50am Rev. Turnip Druid: th'Grog. Quite a flashback, that.
	10:50am dcp: sniff gone now.
	10:51am Cecile: that sounds like a horrible thing to do to a neighborhood. I like sports bars fine, but why only open weekends?
	10:52am common: my favorite venue and bar in philly - from the past - is now a fancy restaurant. funny to walk by and think about what when on in there. and sad.
	10:53am Cecile: I don't mind when venues keep going, but I also like them to keep a little of the past.
	10:53am dcp: Yeah, I don't understand that. If it were open during the week I might step foot in there.
	10:53am Caryn: Palindrome, Chris M.
	10:54am Cecile: I think he knows, Caryn.
	10:54am Listener142985: Backward-forwards spellings are palindromes, not the other thing you mentioned.
	10:55am Caryn: @dcp: maybe that's the reason. They want to avoid "the wrong people" going there. Only those bussed in are allowed. Cripes. @Cecile: I know, but you gotta play along.
	10:55am Brendan: Onamonapia is a word that imitates the sound it describes.
	10:56am coelacanth: maybe doggod is an Onomatopoeia too.
	10:56am Greg from ZONE 5: My name, "Greg", is what Andy Breckman refers to as a "near-palindrome".
	10:56am dcp: @Caryn: you are correct I think.
	10:56am Cecile: Chris M. is playing with your head.
	10:56am 67tele: a palindrone is when your pal goes on and on about something...
	10:56am Brendan: Like I've got a buzzzzz.
	10:56am coelacanth: you mean ornithology.
	10:56am bobdoesthings: bob is a palindrome!
	10:56am Dean: I am suddenly reminded of comic double-talker Norm Crosby.
	10:56am Caryn: If Michael Palin buys one of those newfangled flying machines, would he then own a Palindrone?
	10:57am Listener142985: A Michael Palindrome is a nice thing to think about.
	10:57am Slazenger: "Word talkin" There it is then.
	10:57am Cecile: fire ant test
	10:57am a listener: Onomatopoeia is rubbing your belly while hitting your head and sitting on the toilet. All at the same time
	10:58am Brendan: A degree in smartology from Einstein U
	10:59am choutas: i'm gonna check that toilet thing now
	10:59am Cecile: you are the most awesomest word talker ever
	10:59am glenn: "a bore is a man who deprives you of solitude, without providing you with company". gian vincenza gravina.
	11:00am coelacanth: i have won of those degrees. im not a idiot now.
	11:00am Marcel M: Wow so heavy for Earthless. Sweet.
	11:01am Marcel M: Dat intro was like metal brah.
	11:02am Devin B.: @DCP: that's pretty lame. i don't get that far NW very often, but it sounds like the same kind of BS that's happening all over DC.
	11:03am DreamCricket: YOOOWW!!
	11:04am Caryn: It's weird having this wordplay discussion while simultaneously watching Countdown. (For those who don't know, it's all about word games and math.)
	11:05am Chris M.: @Caryn: 8 out of 10 cats does countdown is one of my favorite shows. i've seen every episode.
	11:06am dcp: Yeah, you gotta keep the 20-30-something, upwardly mobile, tv-culture types happy.
	11:06am Chris M.: @Caryn: do you pause the puzzles or do you play properly?
	11:07am northguineahills: Huh, never heard of Winterfylleth.
	11:07am Cecile: I could vanquish some barleycorns in liquid form about now
	11:07am dcp: actually Gover Park has been pretty steady over the years but the landlords are turning booting all the old places out and replacing them with chain-like shit. Which is DEF happening all over NW.
	11:08am Caryn: @Chris: yeah, I decided to watch every episode of that again. Just watching episode 1. And I play properly (although if Jimmy Carr does something really eyecatching during the 30 seconds, it may distract me so much that I rewind to the start of the time just to have the 30 seconds to do it.
	11:09am Chris M.: @Caryn: i need to be on that show. someone should start a petition.
	11:10am coelacanth: i'm already looking forward to some liquid barley concoction that i wont partake in for at least 8 hours.
	11:10am Blinda: YEEESSSSS IMAGINARY RADIO!!!!
	11:10am nickromby: that earthless jam was chronic.
	11:11am coelacanth: whose image graces the i.m. page today? she looks familiar.
	11:12am coelacanth: ...not i.m.! - i.r..
	11:12am Caryn: If there's a petition, I'll sign it. I suppose you could be in the audience, and then be like that one guy that got the math problem when Rachel didn't and got himself 10 points. Then you'd technically be a contestant. (Of course, if regular Countdown is going on, you could really be a contestant - but I stopped caring about regular Countdown when that douche from The Apprentice started hosting.)
	11:12am Chris M.: @coelacanth: my girlfriend
	11:12am Blinda: I am just tuning in, first it was Earthless (sounding a lot like ozzie to me) and then BLAMMO I get hit with John Barleycorn. Makes me feel like I"m in the bedroom of some teenage boy in the 70's.
	11:13am coelacanth: (i think i was thinking "Chris Radio with Imaginary M."
	11:13am Chris M.: @Caryn: don't be ridiculous i want to be ON the show not in the audience!
	11:13am Blinda: @Caryn is Countdown an English show?
	11:13am coelacanth: Chris - i've seen her around.
	11:15am Andrew Waterloo: Countdown is a real show?
	11:15am Brendan: That Barleycorn track has me in the mood for some seitan mutton
	11:15am coelacanth: imaginary real.
	11:15am dcp: wow @Brendan. Where does one get that. I feel seitanny now..
	11:16am Caryn: @Blinda: yep
	11:16am Chris from DC: There's a great video out there of the Frond doing the Countdown theme, as Nick was on the show once.
	11:16am dcp: THE WHO!!! Haven't heard this in a while
	11:17am Chris M.: @Chris from DC: i need to see it please
	11:18am Blinda: Do you know Only Connect? Good mix of trivia/math/wordplay and somewhat puzzly too.
	11:18am Brendan: genuine imitation elk meat
	11:18am KP: The Ox! THanks there Chris.
	11:19am Dean: "Only Connect"? Literary allusion, too, then. Forster, right?
	11:19am BrianFromMA: So I take it that Winterfylleth is normally a detah metal outfit? That was a nice track
	11:19am Andrew Waterloo: in my mind I am shouting YES YES YES in my Butthead voice, in reality I am stoic and writing code.
	11:19am Blinda: ummmm I think it's Yeats but don't quote me. Off to look it up!
	11:20am Blinda: Ah, death metal. I learned what that was last week!
	11:20am Brendan: Yeah baby!
	11:20am Caryn: @Chris M: would you settle for dictionary corner? You'd get to hang out with Suzy. @Blinda: yeah, Only Connect is fun, but I consider myself lucky if I get more than 2-3 questions right.
	11:22am Chris M.: @Caryn: i'll be the best dictionary corner guest they ever had
	11:22am Dean: Epigraph to "Howard's End," sequel to "Howard's Turn." (Last part's a joke.)
	11:22am northguineahills: Lush!
	11:24am Blinda: Well done Dean. @caryn it's all about the missing vowels round. Is Countdown easier?
	11:24am Cecile: I remember the Aussie Countdown. Greatest rock weekly TV show evah.
	11:25am Cecile: GENE!
	11:25am bobdoesthings: <3 eugene
	11:26am Caryn: @Blinda: well, with Countdown, you don't need to remember the names of hieroglyphs just to pick a category.
	11:26am common: great!
	11:27am Rev. Turnip Druid: whee!
	11:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...love That 70s Show, the smoking circle in the basement: 'ohmigod! - my hands are enormous!!'...
	11:30am Chris from DC: There was a shorter version of that Countdown with Nick, but all I found was this. www.youtube.com...
	11:32am Blinda: @caryn seriously? That's how it's easier??
	11:35am Caryn: @Blinda: heh, well, the missing vowels round and the round where you get the board of items you need to organise into groups are the easiest rounds on Only Connect. The rest can be really tricky. Countdown is easier, just having the word rounds and math rounds. Heck, University Challenge is generally easier than Only Connect (unless recent episodes of OC have been really dumbed down).
	11:37am Polyus: VAAAAAAAADERRRRR!
	11:37am DreamCricket: UUUUGHHHHH!!!!!!!
	11:38am Brendan: Great song so play in the restroom at work ... Intense.
	11:39am Chris M.: i'm ready to solve a countdown conundrum
	11:41am Dean: NCR NMCN
	11:41am Ken From Hyde Park: We all won today in Imaginary Powerball. 1.5 billion imaginary points for all!
	11:42am Chris M.: @Dean: 1 that's not enough letters 2 not enough vowels 3 doesn't spell a word GET REAL DEAN!
	11:42am Dean: CHSTS MNTF NNCNC?
	11:43am Blinda: @Caryn it really depends on where in the season you are. The early matches are less challenging. Or maybe I'm just naturally talented at spotting connections.
	11:43am Caryn: @Chris: Your conundrum today: LONGMICKY And your 30 seconds starts...now!
	11:46am Caryn: I'm clearly giving Chris extra time here, what with the DJing and everything.
	11:46am Devin B.: Yay new Krallice!
	11:47am Chris M.: wait i accidentally closed my browser so i only just saw it... is it MILKINGY?
	11:47am Chris M.: LOCKINGMY
	11:48am Chris M.: i give up
	11:48am Blinda: OK...is this death metal?
	11:48am Dean: Cheat. Use Anagram Server.
	11:49am Devin B.: mockingly?
	11:49am Chris M.: @Dean that's not how it's played! i ran out of time
	11:49am Cecile: Blinda, who knows. It's good though.
	11:49am Brendan: ELIF are the letters and nobody knows how much time we have.
	11:49am Caryn: Sadly, the conundrum round went to Devin B, who got "mockingly".
	11:50am Devin B.: i also took way longer than 30 seconds.
	11:50am Chris M.: nicely done Devin. although i think you'll find that i scored better overall therefore winning today's countdown!
	11:51am Caryn: Well, not "sadly" for Devin of course, but Chris played a blinder otherwise by providing an excellent soundtrack for the show.
	11:51am Devin B.: congrats! i'm gonna have to watch this show now.
	11:51am Chris M.: i rarely ever get the conundrum anyway
	11:52am Dean: If there were a punk version of this Countdown show, would participants only get seven seconds to answer a question?
	11:52am Caryn: I'm sure someone will mail the teapot to you soon, Chris.
	11:52am Cecile: you get a year's supply of Rice-a-Roni and Turtle Wax. Chris M's suits provided by Botany 500.
	11:52am bobdoesthings: noon already.. dang.. thanks Chrism!! great show
	11:53am Caryn: I think the punks would rather watch The Crystal Maze (what with Richard O'Brian) or The Krypton Factor (with the devilish difficulty and people genuinely hurting themselves).
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Raging ChrisM.
	11:54am smonff: Demiurgon was cool!
	11:54am Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, Chris!
	11:55am Rev. Turnip Druid: time to go hassle a food-truck. be lovely.
	11:56am DreamCricket: Chris! You ripped it with the Krallice!
	11:57am Blinda: Thanks Chris M for the music. Thanks Caryn for mansplaining Only Connect to me lol LOL. Thanks all and have a good lunch!
	11:58am Dean: 4-CD
	11:58am Cecile: caryn was womansplaining it
	11:59am coelacanth: Thank you Chris!
	11:59am Caryn: I was just 'splaingin why I often only do well at two rounds of it.
	12:00pm Brendan: Aw hell yeah! the Omega Man. It , I am Legend , I am Omega and Night of the Living Dead were all based off the same book.

	9:01am Howard F: Good morning Chris. Thanks for playing the Faces!
	9:02am Matt Warwick: Good morning friend!
	9:03am Marcel M: Morning Chris and friends.
	9:04am Chris M.: good morning!!
	9:05am steveo: After yesterday's Bowie-fest, my first thought, was oh no, has Rod Stewart died? (Answer: not that I can tell.) Lovely piece of music. Good morning Chris.
	9:07am SeanG: this song rules
	9:09am KP: You left the Television on, Chris.
	9:09am Ryab: Morning Chris!
	9:09am annie: checking in!
	9:09am P-90: Good morning Chris and Magi. Big turning of the page from '71 to '77.
	9:10am Cheri Pi: Good morn'n your Chrisseminency
	9:12am BrianFromMA: Bevis Frond is still at it? Cool...
	9:12am Chris from DC: Yay, more Frond. Morning.
	9:12am Chris M.: @BrianFromMA: album of the year 2015
	9:13am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: No love, you're not alone.
	9:13am Polyus: Really enjoying all the new Bevis Frond stuff on this show. He is kind of hard to keep up with - somehow manages to crank out a new record almost every year.
	9:14am bill: THis is new? wow
	9:15am P-90: There was probably a solid half-decade or better there when Rod's voice was a defining sound of Rock. We forget how much. Just sayin.
	9:15am Neanderthal Head: Four Suitcases?! That's a lot of clothing.
	9:16am Marcel M: @P-90: True, and very odd to think about.
	9:18am P-90: Captain Kangaroo was huge in his day too.
	9:18am BrianFromMA: When I bought this TRex LP as a kid this was the only song on it I liked...thanks for spinning it
	9:19am Neanderthal Head: Oh, man, I need TV when I've got T-Rex...
	9:21am DreamCricket: Oh sweet David. Morning all, Morning Mr. M
	9:21am Chris from DC: This one stops me in my tracks every time.
	9:23am Marcel M: Great song. Parts of Blackstar remind me of Pink Floyd.
	9:23am BrianFromMA: Boy doesn't it sound a lot better hearing Donny McCaslin playing the sax than Bowie...never liked his sax tone at all. What a great album this is.
	9:24am steveo: Well that gave me massive goosebumps.
	9:24am duke: Gorgeous Bowie song
	9:33am Cecile: P-90, ITA. Good morning all! Pi, you've got rhubarb pie.
	9:34am Cecile: I can't give anything away is amazing. It would have been a hit in 1984, 2004, and 2054. Gorgeous song.
	9:35am Cecile: goddamn it, Bowie. You make a whole album I like, and it's your last one!!!
	9:35am Rev. Turnip Druid: FOKES.
	9:36am Cecile: although Joe Belock showed me that I like enough of Scary Monsters to count it as one I like too.
	9:36am northguineahills: ahh, Rev Turnip Druid, I got a wire comp w/ a track of yours on it, nicely done!
	9:37am Cecile: that's AWESOME! congrats rev!
	9:38am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning, Chris M. and Powerball non-winners.
	9:39am Devin B.: Stun Gun is my new favorite song.
	9:39am Cecile: ITA Devin. You could also rework it as "Stud Gun". Just saying.
	9:40am Mark R.: "Stun Gun" is hilarious and great!
	9:40am Rev. Turnip Druid: thx NGH! The label is having some kind of wicked soiree up in NYC this weekend, with live noises. It's a bit off the DC metro for me, alas...
	9:41am frog wizard: If only I won the powerball, I could have all the stun goons I'd want
	9:42am Neanderthal Head: Rocked Station to Station this morning. Anybody else really rate this album? Like everybody?
	9:44am Cecile: I didn't like Golden Years when I was a kid. I've grown to like it, TVC 15, and wild is the wind (although Johnny Mathis still owns that one).
	9:45am Cecile: here's what making me sniffle today, all these kids on Youtube going "I'm a teenager and I just discovered this David Bowie guy...." Sort of like me and Elvis.
	9:45am MD: good morning all!
	9:48am northguineahills: @Rev: I'd love to go, but alas, I'm still unemployed.
	9:49am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I guess discovering Bowie is a little like discovering Elvis (Rawk!), & a little like discovering the Velvet Underground (you too??!). I've been thinking that one thing about Bowie is definitely the getting hipped to various albums / parts / phases of his oeuvre - & who did that too you & when. Frankly I'm still discovering Bowie - tho' pretty solid on his earliest stuff...
	9:50am Cecile: revrab, I've warmer to him more over that last couple of decades, and I'm sure wfmu plays a big role in that.
	9:51am MD: David will ALWAYS live in our Hearts and Souls!!! Thanks Mr. Bowie...
	9:52am Neanderthal Head: I always loved Golden Years (check out the dancing on the Soul Train performance). Wild Is the Wind is amazing, too, as is the title track. And Word on a Wing, and...
	9:53am Matt Warwick: :(
	9:53am coelacanth: good morning Chris and all
	9:54am bobdoesthings: good morning
	9:55am P-90: IMO all of Bowie's seventies albums have some great stuff on them. He was consistently original, inventive, and very, very musical. He always applied great taste to whatever he was experimenting with (whatever "great taste" means)
	9:55am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: My personal re Bowie fwiw (we all have one)...though one keeps thinking of still other things to say about him & what he meant : I was a little brother - my Big Brother nine years older than me - & into Rawk & Glam (I remember it being called 'GlitterRawk' @ the time, but nevermind) even in smalltown NewHampshire. So - more often than not - the music would come half-clear from the other room - thru walls & under doors. Things like Bowie in the early 1970s & my pre-teenage years, then, were powerful & mysterious indeed. (A sheltered 10-year-old half-hears 'Future Legend': l.facebook.com...… Get the picture?) Then came self-made cassettes (later taping everybody's albums they had: Bowie's oeuvre was large & diverse & impactful enuff, it was worth long pursuit) & eventually LPs - then occasional films & finally CDs. He was always there. ...videos before 'videos' & of course the visual & theatrical expression: he was an Auteur who seemed to have another level or dimension (or @ least - or even better - suggest them) than other Rawkers... When Bowie had something new - it was pay attention or be left behind. Bowie unquestionably introduced & acclimated individuals & Society to Gayness more than anyone else ever. Elvis & Buddy Holly took us somewhere - then TheBeatles - & the Stones took us somewhere...Dylan. Then - the doors & Syd Barrett took us somewhere - & where could we possibly go from there? Bowie was a big part of the answer - & he was no less than that & in that company. He added to the lexicon & vocabulary as much as anyone. As Abstract Art becomes Universal by not being Representational - by mirroring the internal world of every individual - so Bowie became the strangest kind of Folk Music of the people w/ concepts & artifice. Titanic. That was an Artist.
	9:56am coelacanth: what Matt said.
	9:58am SHAGALOV: MORNING WFMU! ☕
	10:00am common: good day!
	10:01am Video Booth: Good Morning Chris!
	10:02am rjk: Great words RR Nov63.
	10:03am Cecile: Wow, this is a good song!
	10:04am Cecile: hey, chris m, are you going to play those also-rans, Horrendous?
	10:04am Marcel M: I enjoyed it as well. Loved the guitar samples.
	10:05am Cecile: I kind of love those raps where the tough guys let their guard down and reflect a little on the universe.
	10:08am Marcel M: I think he is known to be a reflective sort of guy in general.
	10:09am Cecile: that's cool.
	10:09am Chris M.: @Cecile: next week i'm only playing Horrendous. every track they've done ranked from worst to best.
	10:09am Cecile: don't tease me.
	10:11am sweir: BOAR rocked! Thank you for playing.
	10:12am Ryab: Wow, great selections today
	10:15am Chris M.: really nice for me to get back to a regular show but don't worry there are themed shows coming up soon! it's a new year so you know what that means.
	10:15am Caryn: Hmm, what music would be appropriate for an Alan Rickman tribute? All I can think of is that Bill Nighy song from "Love Actually", because a WFMU dj is not gonna bust out Bryan Adams. Any ideas?
	10:16am Cecile: OH NO. Bowie and Alan Rickman in the same week for my friend!
	10:16am dcp: @Chris M: that means less drinking, or eating right themes? Regular exercise them?
	10:17am Greg from ZONE 5: And they were the same age. This is such a bullshit week.
	10:17am Caryn: Seriously, cool Brits are dropping like flies. Someone better be checking in on Bryan Ferry, Eno etc. pretty much every hour now.
	10:17am dcp: Regular exercise *theme, goddammmitttt.
	10:18am Caryn: @Greg: same age, both to cancer. It's as if the universe is trying to set up a "69 club" to compete with the "27 club". Sheesh.
	10:19am Marcel M: I missed my chance at the 27 club so maybe I'll get into the 69 club.
	10:20am Rev. Turnip Druid: missed th'Mammut, dammit. ...that practically rhymes. but still.
	10:20am Cecile: Caryn, I've said that a while back! I went "Steve Lacy, Clarence Clemons, Captain Beefheart - the 69 death club is real"
	10:22am Marcel M: Well Lemmy just missed it.
	10:23am P-90: Alan Rickman?! NO!!! (sob) Oh, how I do NOT want the FMU site to be where I'm constantly getting death notices......
	10:23am Andrew Waterloo: Lemmy always did his own thing.
	10:23am common: man, what a shit year thus far.
	10:23am bobdoesthings: @marcel... ohhh so many jokes to make here.. I'll just leave it..
	10:23am Marcel M: @Bob: yeah.. I was gonna slip one in but decided to leave it as well.
	10:24am dcp: ok, what did Alan Rickman do besides the Harry Potter thing that I should know about?
	10:24am DreamCricket: Seeing 1349 tonight bring the HELLFIRE!
	10:24am Cecile: he's one of the few good things in Love, Actually.
	10:25am bobdoesthings: @marcel... it's all about slipping one in in the 69 club
	10:25am Marcel M: Bowie dying shocked me as well cuz he was, well, Bowie.. but lets not get too hung up on people dying, guys. We all gonna die. No biggie.
	10:25am glenn: he turned die hard from a pretty good movie into a great movie.
	10:25am Ken From Hyde Park: @dcp - He was Hans Gruber in the original Die Hard movie.
	10:25am Rev. Turnip Druid: This will do nicely.
	10:25am Marcel M: @Bob: Haha.. I led you right into that.
	10:25am John: This is perfect Alan Rickman music. Whoever that is.
	10:25am Cecile: Galaxy Quest!
	10:26am Cecile: Dogma.
	10:26am bobdoesthings: @marcel - I feel like I coulda done better given that setup. im a child
	10:26am John: Can you play something in honor of Richard Libertini?
	10:26am dcp: Die Hard?
	10:26am glenn: by grabnar's sword!
	10:26am Chris M.: he played Hilly Kristal in CBGB
	10:27am Andrew Waterloo: Hans Gruber
	10:27am P-90: We gotta get of our asses and do something about cancer for reals, yo
	10:27am Cecile: by grabnar's hammer, I will avenge your death!
	10:27am Caryn: Remaining 69-year-olds: Tim Curry, John Waters, Charles Dance, David Lynch, Joe Dante, Eugene Levy, Cheech Marin, David Gilmour, John Paul Jones, Al Green, Diane Keaton, Cher, Susan Sarandon, Dolly Parton, Joanna Lumley, Jane Birkin, Patti Smith... Oh dear, some of these people better make it at least a little while. On the positive side, Trump is 69, so...
	10:27am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dayum. Drummer.
	10:27am dcp: Alright, never mind. But I agree with P-90, what the hell??
	10:28am Cecile: him too? Damn.
	10:28am Marcel M: @P-90: Sounds like Huckabee when he was like, "fuck the terrorists! Lets kill CANCER!"
	10:28am dcp: hilarious @Caryn!
	10:28am bobdoesthings: @p-90 - good luck killing a huge money maker for the medical industry.
	10:28am glenn: oh right. hammer. i should have known that.
	10:28am Rev. Turnip Druid: As much as the Hitchhiker's Guide remake was doomed, Rickman was the only possible choice for Marvin.
	10:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - then again - someone cures Cancer - they're Jesus. Good career move.
	10:29am glenn: it sounds better than grabnar's nail gun.
	10:29am Rev. Turnip Druid: Cancer is the new "natural causes," so it seems.
	10:30am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sunlight causes cancer.
	10:30am Cecile: it's actually more a disease of old age, so yay for people living longer, I guess.
	10:30am Marcel M: Despise the sun
	10:31am Rev. Turnip Druid: "Sleep gives you cancer. Everybody knows that." -Neil
	10:31am Cecile: Mr. Burns: "Since the beginning of time, man has yearned to destroy the sun."
	10:31am dcp: You'd think there would be enough you guns out there trying to make a name for themselves to "cure cancer." Problem is that term is meaningless--cancer is a myriad of diseases requiring multiple treatments.
	10:32am P-90: BITCHIN' career move!
	10:32am SiHV: False. Eff yeah Minneapolis.
	10:33am Polyus: Goddamn these young punks False have become a monster of a live band.
	10:33am Cecile: yay, something new and good from here.
	10:34am Greg from ZONE 5: @Chris M: I haven't seen Avatar, but I found time to watch that dumb ass CBGB movie…
	10:36am dcp: I've been thinking I have to get around to watching Avatar too. Is that Snape guy in it?
	10:36am Cecile: greg, I saw it drunk and with the sound off in a Mexican gay sports bar in Minneapolis one afternoon while peole were waiting for the futbol to come on. That was probably the best way to see it.
	10:36am Marcel M: @Greg: Was it as painful as it promised to be?
	10:36am Marcel M: @Cecile: Avatar or CBGB? Seeing anything in that situation sounds good to me.
	10:37am Ami: Morning everybody.Great sounds today,thank you Chris
	10:37am Rev. Turnip Druid: @Cecile: that sounds like the ideal way to see just about anything.
	10:37am Cecile: Avatar. I couldn't bear to watch CBGB.
	10:37am Caryn: @dcp: well, with all the CGI, you can pretend he's in it. He certainly would've improved that film.
	10:37am dcp: ..especially futbol
	10:38am Rev. Turnip Druid: Precisely, DCP..
	10:38am Cecile: I miss that place. They had great food and margaritas. But then they opened another gay bar across the street with great food and margaritas and drag shows, so it's a pretty good trade.
	10:39am dcp: I need to get to more gay, sports, drag, food bars...
	10:41am Cecile: well my local started as a food bar. Then the owner's ex-partner gunned him down and ran over him with a car. it kept going while they figured out the estate. Then, someone totally committed to good value, a welcoming vibe and theatre bought the place. it's been great.
	10:43am Cecile: they opened an Asian/gastro/beer pub across the street in the old place. Their business is slow and their prices are high and their food sounds kind of bad. But I might go in there for a beer just to feel the place out.
	10:44am Brendan: Bars need more TVs and people immersed in their phones so , you know, we can all spend more time not talking to each other.
	10:45am dcp: In my neighborhood, somebody bought the totally crappy dc local band venue and turned it into a Republican sports bar (meaning the wrong kind of football). Sucks. And Bourbon (the name says it all)
	10:45am Cecile: That sounds sad.
	10:46am dcp: ..uh, meant to say "and Bourbon closed.
	10:46am bobdoesthings: @brendan - hah!
	10:47am Devin B.: @DCP: what place got turned into a republican sports bar?
	10:48am Rev. Turnip Druid: "republican sports bar" sounds like it needs to be down in the NoVA suburbs.... THAT side of the river...
	10:48am Chris M.: i still like to go to Tiki Peter's for a traditional Polynesian libation such as the Strawberry Scratch n Snif or the Pineapple Polo Sport. takes me away to the islands of paradise
	10:49am dcp: Grog and Tankard. Played there many times myself.
	10:49am dcp: @Rev: yeah well they actually bus them in on the weekends. Nobody local goes there. And then the place is closed during the week. How does that work??
	10:50am Cecile: what a great name!
	10:50am Rev. Turnip Druid: th'Grog. Quite a flashback, that.
	10:50am dcp: sniff gone now.
	10:51am Cecile: that sounds like a horrible thing to do to a neighborhood. I like sports bars fine, but why only open weekends?
	10:52am common: my favorite venue and bar in philly - from the past - is now a fancy restaurant. funny to walk by and think about what when on in there. and sad.
	10:53am Cecile: I don't mind when venues keep going, but I also like them to keep a little of the past.
	10:53am dcp: Yeah, I don't understand that. If it were open during the week I might step foot in there.
	10:53am Caryn: Palindrome, Chris M.
	10:54am Cecile: I think he knows, Caryn.
	10:54am Listener142985: Backward-forwards spellings are palindromes, not the other thing you mentioned.
	10:55am Caryn: @dcp: maybe that's the reason. They want to avoid "the wrong people" going there. Only those bussed in are allowed. Cripes. @Cecile: I know, but you gotta play along.
	10:55am Brendan: Onamonapia is a word that imitates the sound it describes.
	10:56am coelacanth: maybe doggod is an Onomatopoeia too.
	10:56am Greg from ZONE 5: My name, "Greg", is what Andy Breckman refers to as a "near-palindrome".
	10:56am dcp: @Caryn: you are correct I think.
	10:56am Cecile: Chris M. is playing with your head.
	10:56am 67tele: a palindrone is when your pal goes on and on about something...
	10:56am Brendan: Like I've got a buzzzzz.
	10:56am coelacanth: you mean ornithology.
	10:56am bobdoesthings: bob is a palindrome!
	10:56am Dean: I am suddenly reminded of comic double-talker Norm Crosby.
	10:56am Caryn: If Michael Palin buys one of those newfangled flying machines, would he then own a Palindrone?
	10:57am Listener142985: A Michael Palindrome is a nice thing to think about.
	10:57am Slazenger: "Word talkin" There it is then.
	10:57am Cecile: fire ant test
	10:57am a listener: Onomatopoeia is rubbing your belly while hitting your head and sitting on the toilet. All at the same time
	10:58am Brendan: A degree in smartology from Einstein U
	10:59am choutas: i'm gonna check that toilet thing now
	10:59am Cecile: you are the most awesomest word talker ever
	10:59am glenn: "a bore is a man who deprives you of solitude, without providing you with company". gian vincenza gravina.
	11:00am coelacanth: i have won of those degrees. im not a idiot now.
	11:00am Marcel M: Wow so heavy for Earthless. Sweet.
	11:01am Marcel M: Dat intro was like metal brah.
	11:02am Devin B.: @DCP: that's pretty lame. i don't get that far NW very often, but it sounds like the same kind of BS that's happening all over DC.
	11:03am DreamCricket: YOOOWW!!
	11:04am Caryn: It's weird having this wordplay discussion while simultaneously watching Countdown. (For those who don't know, it's all about word games and math.)
	11:05am Chris M.: @Caryn: 8 out of 10 cats does countdown is one of my favorite shows. i've seen every episode.
	11:06am dcp: Yeah, you gotta keep the 20-30-something, upwardly mobile, tv-culture types happy.
	11:06am Chris M.: @Caryn: do you pause the puzzles or do you play properly?
	11:07am northguineahills: Huh, never heard of Winterfylleth.
	11:07am Cecile: I could vanquish some barleycorns in liquid form about now
	11:07am dcp: actually Gover Park has been pretty steady over the years but the landlords are turning booting all the old places out and replacing them with chain-like shit. Which is DEF happening all over NW.
	11:08am Caryn: @Chris: yeah, I decided to watch every episode of that again. Just watching episode 1. And I play properly (although if Jimmy Carr does something really eyecatching during the 30 seconds, it may distract me so much that I rewind to the start of the time just to have the 30 seconds to do it.
	11:09am Chris M.: @Caryn: i need to be on that show. someone should start a petition.
	11:10am coelacanth: i'm already looking forward to some liquid barley concoction that i wont partake in for at least 8 hours.
	11:10am Blinda: YEEESSSSS IMAGINARY RADIO!!!!
	11:10am nickromby: that earthless jam was chronic.
	11:11am coelacanth: whose image graces the i.m. page today? she looks familiar.
	11:12am coelacanth: ...not i.m.! - i.r..
	11:12am Caryn: If there's a petition, I'll sign it. I suppose you could be in the audience, and then be like that one guy that got the math problem when Rachel didn't and got himself 10 points. Then you'd technically be a contestant. (Of course, if regular Countdown is going on, you could really be a contestant - but I stopped caring about regular Countdown when that douche from The Apprentice started hosting.)
	11:12am Chris M.: @coelacanth: my girlfriend
	11:12am Blinda: I am just tuning in, first it was Earthless (sounding a lot like ozzie to me) and then BLAMMO I get hit with John Barleycorn. Makes me feel like I"m in the bedroom of some teenage boy in the 70's.
	11:13am coelacanth: (i think i was thinking "Chris Radio with Imaginary M."
	11:13am Chris M.: @Caryn: don't be ridiculous i want to be ON the show not in the audience!
	11:13am Blinda: @Caryn is Countdown an English show?
	11:13am coelacanth: Chris - i've seen her around.
	11:15am Andrew Waterloo: Countdown is a real show?
	11:15am Brendan: That Barleycorn track has me in the mood for some seitan mutton
	11:15am coelacanth: imaginary real.
	11:15am dcp: wow @Brendan. Where does one get that. I feel seitanny now..
	11:16am Caryn: @Blinda: yep
	11:16am Chris from DC: There's a great video out there of the Frond doing the Countdown theme, as Nick was on the show once.
	11:16am dcp: THE WHO!!! Haven't heard this in a while
	11:17am Chris M.: @Chris from DC: i need to see it please
	11:18am Blinda: Do you know Only Connect? Good mix of trivia/math/wordplay and somewhat puzzly too.
	11:18am Brendan: genuine imitation elk meat
	11:18am KP: The Ox! THanks there Chris.
	11:19am Dean: "Only Connect"? Literary allusion, too, then. Forster, right?
	11:19am BrianFromMA: So I take it that Winterfylleth is normally a detah metal outfit? That was a nice track
	11:19am Andrew Waterloo: in my mind I am shouting YES YES YES in my Butthead voice, in reality I am stoic and writing code.
	11:19am Blinda: ummmm I think it's Yeats but don't quote me. Off to look it up!
	11:20am Blinda: Ah, death metal. I learned what that was last week!
	11:20am Brendan: Yeah baby!
	11:20am Caryn: @Chris M: would you settle for dictionary corner? You'd get to hang out with Suzy. @Blinda: yeah, Only Connect is fun, but I consider myself lucky if I get more than 2-3 questions right.
	11:22am Chris M.: @Caryn: i'll be the best dictionary corner guest they ever had
	11:22am Dean: Epigraph to "Howard's End," sequel to "Howard's Turn." (Last part's a joke.)
	11:22am northguineahills: Lush!
	11:24am Blinda: Well done Dean. @caryn it's all about the missing vowels round. Is Countdown easier?
	11:24am Cecile: I remember the Aussie Countdown. Greatest rock weekly TV show evah.
	11:25am Cecile: GENE!
	11:25am bobdoesthings: <3 eugene
	11:26am Caryn: @Blinda: well, with Countdown, you don't need to remember the names of hieroglyphs just to pick a category.
	11:26am common: great!
	11:27am Rev. Turnip Druid: whee!
	11:29am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...love That 70s Show, the smoking circle in the basement: 'ohmigod! - my hands are enormous!!'...
	11:30am Chris from DC: There was a shorter version of that Countdown with Nick, but all I found was this. www.youtube.com...
	11:32am Blinda: @caryn seriously? That's how it's easier??
	11:35am Caryn: @Blinda: heh, well, the missing vowels round and the round where you get the board of items you need to organise into groups are the easiest rounds on Only Connect. The rest can be really tricky. Countdown is easier, just having the word rounds and math rounds. Heck, University Challenge is generally easier than Only Connect (unless recent episodes of OC have been really dumbed down).
	11:37am Polyus: VAAAAAAAADERRRRR!
	11:37am DreamCricket: UUUUGHHHHH!!!!!!!
	11:38am Brendan: Great song so play in the restroom at work ... Intense.
	11:39am Chris M.: i'm ready to solve a countdown conundrum
	11:41am Dean: NCR NMCN
	11:41am Ken From Hyde Park: We all won today in Imaginary Powerball. 1.5 billion imaginary points for all!
	11:42am Chris M.: @Dean: 1 that's not enough letters 2 not enough vowels 3 doesn't spell a word GET REAL DEAN!
	11:42am Dean: CHSTS MNTF NNCNC?
	11:43am Blinda: @Caryn it really depends on where in the season you are. The early matches are less challenging. Or maybe I'm just naturally talented at spotting connections.
	11:43am Caryn: @Chris: Your conundrum today: LONGMICKY And your 30 seconds starts...now!
	11:46am Caryn: I'm clearly giving Chris extra time here, what with the DJing and everything.
	11:46am Devin B.: Yay new Krallice!
	11:47am Chris M.: wait i accidentally closed my browser so i only just saw it... is it MILKINGY?
	11:47am Chris M.: LOCKINGMY
	11:48am Chris M.: i give up
	11:48am Blinda: OK...is this death metal?
	11:48am Dean: Cheat. Use Anagram Server.
	11:49am Devin B.: mockingly?
	11:49am Chris M.: @Dean that's not how it's played! i ran out of time
	11:49am Cecile: Blinda, who knows. It's good though.
	11:49am Brendan: ELIF are the letters and nobody knows how much time we have.
	11:49am Caryn: Sadly, the conundrum round went to Devin B, who got "mockingly".
	11:50am Devin B.: i also took way longer than 30 seconds.
	11:50am Chris M.: nicely done Devin. although i think you'll find that i scored better overall therefore winning today's countdown!
	11:51am Caryn: Well, not "sadly" for Devin of course, but Chris played a blinder otherwise by providing an excellent soundtrack for the show.
	11:51am Devin B.: congrats! i'm gonna have to watch this show now.
	11:51am Chris M.: i rarely ever get the conundrum anyway
	11:52am Dean: If there were a punk version of this Countdown show, would participants only get seven seconds to answer a question?
	11:52am Caryn: I'm sure someone will mail the teapot to you soon, Chris.
	11:52am Cecile: you get a year's supply of Rice-a-Roni and Turtle Wax. Chris M's suits provided by Botany 500.
	11:52am bobdoesthings: noon already.. dang.. thanks Chrism!! great show
	11:53am Caryn: I think the punks would rather watch The Crystal Maze (what with Richard O'Brian) or The Krypton Factor (with the devilish difficulty and people genuinely hurting themselves).
	11:54am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Raging ChrisM.
	11:54am smonff: Demiurgon was cool!
	11:54am Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, Chris!
	11:55am Rev. Turnip Druid: time to go hassle a food-truck. be lovely.
	11:56am DreamCricket: Chris! You ripped it with the Krallice!
	11:57am Blinda: Thanks Chris M for the music. Thanks Caryn for mansplaining Only Connect to me lol LOL. Thanks all and have a good lunch!
	11:58am Dean: 4-CD
	11:58am Cecile: caryn was womansplaining it
	11:59am coelacanth: Thank you Chris!
	11:59am Caryn: I was just 'splaingin why I often only do well at two rounds of it.
	12:00pm Brendan: Aw hell yeah! the Omega Man. It , I am Legend , I am Omega and Night of the Living Dead were all based off the same book.
	12:01pm Clay: Natalie Cole - David Bowie - Alan Rickman ... Always remember ...
