	3:05pm Michael 98145: RIP, John
	3:05pm V Priceless: hey Fabio! Nice...
	3:06pm coelacanth: John said recording this was one of the rare unifying moments during the the beatles sessions.
	3:06pm Tommy Jack Haynes: The most time signature changes in a Beatles song
	3:06pm glenn: what's it been, 36 years? 35?
	3:06pm coelacanth: they apparently played it live, for the most part.
	3:07pm Tommy Jack Haynes: it was dec 1980
	3:07pm Chris from DC: Yes!
	3:07pm Tommy Jack Haynes: I had just moved to NYC from NC
	3:07pm Jeff: Is this that "hard rock" you were threatening, Fabinator?
	3:07pm glenn: beatles? sabbath? is this q107?
	3:07pm coelacanth∅: Hi Fabio and Failures - Great live version here!
	3:08pm βrian: Have mercy on us, Glenn. You've got Trudeau.
	3:10pm mick: the beatles never get enough credit for how heavy they could be...and then this....
	3:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Early alt version - dif lyrics.
	3:10pm Wild Neil: PEACE all. STILL outa work. Getting fingerprinted for substitute teaching in Lockport, NY tomorrow.
	3:10pm βrian: Could I get that Sabbath in aubergine? Black really doesn't suit me.
	3:11pm coelacanth∅: what i find interesting, Rabbit is that this concert was after the studio version was recorded.
	3:12pm glenn: i like trudeau quite a bit, actually. he's about a thousand times smarter than trump, that's for sure.
	👻 3:13pm JtotheK: good afternoon fellow Failures.
	3:13pm Cliff in Prague: I just learned today that "trump" is British kid slang for "fart"
	3:13pm Polyus: Bill Ward getting down.
	3:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ah! Maybe Ozzy's wasted & just riffing...That Iommi lost his fingertips & tuned lower w/ thin gauge strings - & pioneered sound & technique; they're like 75% of what Stoner Metal's about...Sabbath just grew & grew in relevance for me.
	3:14pm Wild Neil: Ozzy Osbourne is a member of The Church of England.;
	3:14pm βrian: @Cliff: Gives a whole new meaning to "This, too, shall pass."
	3:14pm Dean: Ozzy sounded like a friggin' lounge singer there. "Thank you very much, thank you."
	3:16pm JakeGould: Back when Black Sabbath were just stoner dorks.
	👻 3:16pm Rev. Turnip Druid: storks?
	👻 3:17pm Rev. Turnip Druid: also: hello.
	3:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ozzy is the 'Prince of Darkness' - but always connected w/ audiences like that: it's something some people just have...
	3:18pm foofs: Sabs' early road manager (I forget his name) later did the job for Manowar, and devised their trademark Manowar salute.
	3:18pm Guido from Cologne: Ahh Fin-Prog !!!
	3:19pm Cecile: DAMN, Fabs this is a Diane kind of set. It's great.
	3:19pm Cecile: I've seen Ozzy, he is extremely grateful and charming in between songs.
	3:20pm Dean: Was thinking exactly the same thing, Cecile, re: this set.
	3:20pm coelacanth∅: before the singing started i thought for sure that would be an acid mothers temple song.
	3:20pm Cliff in Prague: Me too Dean & Cecile :)
	3:21pm Chris from DC: Killer, Baby Grandmothers
	3:23pm Cecile: I miss Kamikaze a lot.
	3:25pm northguineahills: Nice, good luck Wild Neil!
	3:25pm V Priceless: I was thinking about Witch Mountain.....and thought the same thing, C!
	3:31pm coelacanth: V, did Fabio play witch mountain? it's not on the playlist but maybe that's what i'm referring to...whatever was right after sabbath.
	3:31pm Chris from DC: Music bed? This is interesting.
	3:31pm coelacanth: (with a female vocal)
	3:32pm V Priceless: I don't think so...I was just musing that it could work...
	👻 3:32pm Rev. Turnip Druid: was just about to ask about the new bed music. Diggity.
	3:32pm fleep: RIP John Glenn. Will this year never end?
	👻 3:32pm Rev. Turnip Druid: battle-lutes?
	3:32pm V Priceless: oh crap! I heard he was admitted to the hospital....jeez
	3:33pm Cliff in Prague: No fleep, on December 31st we will go into orbit around a black hole and be subject to relativistic time-warp indefinitely
	3:34pm coelacanth: oh sorry V! maybe i've never heard witch mountain, though heard of them.
	3:35pm coelacanth: - rest in peace John Glenn.
	3:35pm Michael 98145: RIP, John Herschel Glenn Jr. (July 18, 1921 – December 8, 2016)
	3:36pm Polyus: Season Three was a little meh, I thought.
	3:36pm Jonathan Herweg: Never heard the Sabbath riot recording, thanks for playing it .
	3:37pm PKNY: @Fabio - I think the quad version of "War Pigs" doesn't have the spun-up ending.
	3:37pm fleep: I remember doing the time warp.
	3:37pm V Priceless: @ fish: caught them live recently supporting The Skull - the female singer was really fab!
	3:40pm Cliff in Prague: Greg Lake is gone now too?! Good grief
	3:41pm V Priceless: yeah!!
	3:41pm Jonathan Herweg: Thanks you for not playing ELP!
	3:42pm Linda Lee: we're aging fast, friends. enjoy while you can.
	3:43pm Dean: The BBC obit makes the Crimson connection in the headline, relegates ELP to the body of the article. And Rolling Stone puts "Karn Evil 9" on the Tarkus album.
	3:43pm Dean: I'm aging like a fine vinegar.
	3:43pm PKNY: @Linda - Exactly, that's why when musicians I'm fan of that are getting up in age are coming to my area, I now make it a priority to go. So I'll be seeing Jose Feliciano and Pharoah Sanders in the not-to-distant future.
	3:44pm coelacanth: fucking hell. yesterday Irwin played some pre-crimson Greg Lake on the Tom Wilson segment and nobody mentioned his dying. rest in peace Greg Lake.
	3:44pm V Priceless: can't some shitty people die? I mean, c'mon already.....there sure are plenty to choose from....
	3:45pm Cliff in Prague: I'm telling you, it's aliens. First they experiment with our DNA, now they're taking all our creative folk for their nefarious purposes
	3:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Space Age was my Toddlerhood. It was Exploration & Adventure rather than cell phone satellites & Richard Branson or something - tho' this is a golden age for Astronomy. Now I know they were RocketJocks - but they went up military crewcut heads & came down cosmic philosophers. Thx for squeezing into that capsule & being an Inspiration Senator Glenn. Oh - RIP Greg Lake. I love 'Brain Salad Surgery' & you can sue me - but King Crimson - jewel in the crown, you know...@Dean: All as one would expect, then...VP: Word man. Word.
	3:45pm V Priceless: @ fish - I don't think the news had come out yet - isn't that weird?
	👻 3:45pm Rev. Turnip Druid: TARKUS is the only ELP product permitted within the hallowed halls of the Druid cave, mostly for sentimental reasons (as in, age 12). A very fine KC choice, here.
	3:46pm Dean: I think word wasn't out yet, coelacanth. Or he hadn't yet died. I know somebody whose brother's name is ... Tarkus.
	3:46pm coelacanth: shit. very weird. the same basic thing happened with Pauline Oliveros.
	3:46pm Michael 98145: science is young, ignorance is very old. the structure of the DNA molecule was only discovered in 1953.
	3:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Pete Townshend re 'In The Court of the Crimson King' album: 'An unqualified success.'
	3:47pm V Priceless: when I heard knuckle-nuts Kanye sampled this, I nearly shit myself.
	3:47pm Linda Lee: me too, Dean. PKNY ~ good idea!
	👻 3:47pm Mick: @Rev Rabbit: "they went up military crewcut heads & came down cosmic philosophers" is kind of genius.
	3:48pm coelacanth: easily one of my top 10 favorite male vocalists.
	3:50pm Cecile: the kind of prog I can get behind.
	3:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Straight up: Emerson & Lake were both ♏Scorpios - kind of my brothers...
	3:51pm Cecile: yes!
	3:51pm Chris from DC: Yep
	3:51pm V Priceless: lovely
	👻 3:51pm Rev. Turnip Druid: what they yesyep'd.
	3:52pm Cliff in Prague: Yah
	3:53pm V Priceless: Crimso still going strong in the live department to this very day..and playing this!!
	3:53pm Cecile: you can just play a shitload of Crimson until your show ends, Fab.
	3:54pm Hugh: Every day a little sadder, a little madder; someone get me a ladder.
	3:54pm Cecile: this bit right here probably birthed the Residents.
	3:55pm Dean: "science is young, ignorance is very old." Yes and no. Lately I've been reading history of 12th century Western philosophy. The reason vs. authority debate was alive then, with vigorous argument in favor of the superiority of reason. At the time, of course, "science" was still magic, cosmology, and clever (sometimes brilliantly so) spinning of words. But still.
	👻 3:55pm Rev. Turnip Druid: This set reminds me I haven't been able to hit Coulter's show in ages. Must have thought he was off the Drummer schedule...
	3:56pm northguineahills: @Rev: He's still on Tuesdays 12-3 on the Drummer stream.
	3:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Like - the best band ever.
	👻 3:58pm Rev. Turnip Druid: thx NGH: I think the re-design of WFMU's homepage threw me at first: it used to be way up front, or more obvious somehow to idiots like myself. Good news.
	3:58pm coelacanth∅: until their reputation was soiled in 1981 king crimson was the best thing prog had to offer. (i think some of the best music in general...) ...there are several very good elp tracks too though, in my shitty opinion.
	4:01pm Dean: Still waiting for Fripp to remaster and reissue with outtakes "The Test of the Emergency Release System."
	4:02pm Ike: Drummer stream shows' live playlists don't get enough prominence with the new homepage design. Used to be if there was a live show, its current song was there displayed right away, no clicking on anything necessary. Now you have to click on "Drummer" to see it. Bummer for Drummer. I bet fewer tune in.
	👻 4:04pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Ike: that's definitely it, in my case. At least now there's a wealth of archives to plunder. His TAPE HISS shows were/are magical beasts.
	4:05pm coelacanth∅: true Ike the (not) new (anymore) homepage is (still) shit.
	4:07pm V Priceless: agreed - old home page ruled
	4:07pm Whooda: RIP Greg Lake, thanks for the set DJ Strength Through Failure Fabio
	4:09pm Chris from DC: The last Tony Coulter show had some gems.
	4:10pm coelacanth∅: mm i Like this A LOT
	👻 4:11pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Having gone thru a site redesign at the ol' day job, I totally understand how such re-designs are universally disliked, no matter what. It's a cursed job. There's a lot I dig about the FMU refresh, but the lack of prominence w/the Drummer stream is a downer...
	4:14pm P-90: Hi Fab and Failurologists
	4:14pm Cecile: Rev, I'd talk to Ken about it.
	👻 4:15pm Ken From Hyde Park: To fail or not to fail, that is the question.
	4:15pm Cecile: coel, I do like Discipline a lot. The later stuff, not so much.
	4:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: They presented their reasoning for the homepage redo - & it makes sense - & some of it's good - but if you want to see the Schedules for the other Streams - it's in the dropdowns for 'Listening' - not 'Programming'. I understand pairing the Stream Links w/ their Schedules - but I file it under 'you only know if you know'... If you want to
	4:19pm coelacanth∅: Rev.TD, it also has too much going on, so it's slow to load. Cecile, i was so excited and asked for discipline for xmas. i wanted to and tried to but it just didn't seem to have any depth, like the KC i was used to.
	👻 4:20pm chris: many, in this interwebs day and age, simply go to the search bar... i did and typed 'drummer' and the first result was the stream schedule... very quick... but this is a trend of those in the google age, and i needed to learn it from a young'n
	4:22pm coelacanth∅: Rev.R i know there are "cross-platform" reasons for the design, but i think the 2-3 clicks to get to somewhere that should be reached by 1 click is is poor design.
	4:22pm Cliff in Prague: Thanks Fabio! G'night folks
	👻 4:22pm chris: take care, Cliff
	👻 4:23pm Rev. Turnip Druid: true 'nuff Chris - Methinks homepages never get hits anymore; regular visitors have their links & side-doors to where they need to go. I'm far too lazy to do this right..
	4:24pm Cecile: Coel, it's Crimson simplified. And that was fine, but after that was unnnhhh
	4:27pm P-90: Thirlwell is thrilling
	4:28pm coelacanth∅: chris, i'm spoiled. the old homepage offered 1-click to any of the other streams and (as mentioned) what was playing on those streams was right there. - now it's (sometimes) - wait for the slow homepage to finish loading> click on drummer stream link and wait a few seconds> back> click on ichebon stream and wait a few seconds> back...
	4:29pm Chris from DC: Always good to hear Karkowski
	4:31pm dax: this isn't as confusing as what I really stand up for everyone knows that
	4:32pm Dave in Vermont: yay, Fabio
	👻 4:43pm chris: i get it, coel. sometimes my $.02 are overpriced. :)
	4:46pm Dave in Vermont: Nocturnal Animals premiers here tomorrow, going to see it - I just turned you down so I don't get spoiled - I like going in cold.
	4:49pm V Priceless: Bowie used Tony Ousler's projections in some of his later live shows to great effect.
	4:49pm Chris from DC: Liking this a lot, really reminds me of Pelt/Spiral Joy Band.
	4:53pm steve from g-berg: Tom Rechino is excellent and a GREAT graphic designer as well!
	4:55pm steve from g-berg: sorry, Recchion (missed an n)
	4:57pm coelacanth∅: just reading about pelt - because Scott Mc did a Jack Rose tribute today. i have to check out that band.
	4:59pm tuner fish: wish i had surround sound
	5:01pm Chris from DC: Coel, thanks, I will check that show out. The last Pelt record, Effigy, is a good place to start. Full disclosure they are one of my favorites.
	5:08pm coelacanth∅: now i'm even more psyched! ...i don't know how pelt slipped by me; but then sometimes i'm astounded at how very little i know.
	5:24pm Linda Lee: is that you, Yoko?
	5:25pm Michael 98145: vocal frying !!
	5:25pm P-90: I'm guessing Cambridge was pretty intense in 1969
	5:25pm YETI BOB: i saw Spires that in the Sunset Rise open for Kawabata Makoto last week, they did a great set
	5:26pm mink: ahhhhhhhgh
	5:27pm Linda Lee: she was amazing & is still amazing.
	5:28pm Brendan: Now Yoko I want you to be quiet or Im going to turn this car right around and there will be no ice cream
	5:28pm Dave in Vermont: Is this about Cambridge or Cambridge?
	5:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Avant Lennon - completely Righteous. Let's separate the Conformists from the actually Open-Minded...
	5:30pm Linda Lee: stunning stuff.
	5:31pm Dean: Cambridge.
	5:32pm Dean: England.
	5:32pm Dean: The one with a river Cam.
	5:32pm Brendan: Awesome track. I think he found the clitoris.
	5:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& he had to insist 'Revolution 9' get on the White Album - & they rejected 'Cold Turkey'. The nerve.
	5:34pm Linda Lee: wwwoowwwwww
	5:36pm Dave in Vermont: great sndtrk to reading LeGuin
	5:38pm common: nice to walk in on these sounds. hello!
	5:39pm Linda Lee: well, Rev, the Beatles were finishing up. they'd outlived it.
	5:41pm coelacanth∅: my sister was here for a minute and couldn't stand the Yoko so i backed it up to king crimson again. i guess now i'm glad i changed it before Yoko audibly had an orgasm.
	5:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Imagine how their legacy would be different if John had been able to do 'Cold Turkey' & such under The Beatles' moniker in '69...: VUs, MC5, Stooges - Beatles...
	5:45pm Mike East: Chick Corea's been in here rehearsing all last month...with lots of guests...lenny white, john mclaughlin, victor wooton to name a few.
	5:45pm Jeff: Actually, Mr. Pigeon, I think ECM (Manfred Eicher's baby) has been based in Munich for... is it basically forever?
	5:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...coppers!... Tell me what seeing McLaughlin machine gun those soulful notes looks like up close, MikeE!...
	5:48pm Cecile: my circle hasn't stopped talking about it, either.
	5:48pm Dave in Vermont: "I'm not having you...you're horning in"
	5:49pm SSS: Denial!? I want to know...can I hide in your basement?
	5:49pm Cecile: anthology show
	5:50pm melinda: That was a great scene when she had to take the kids out of the school. And that song.
	5:51pm joe mulligan: somehow this hijack on Fabio is more humorous than usual. Clay's sidekick bumps up the ridiculousness.
	5:51pm Linda Lee: not in the cards, Rev. too rigid an organization.
	5:52pm Uncle Michael: Beverly Garland played Fred's new wife on My Three Sons.
	5:52pm Michael 98145: afternoon zoo :)
	5:52pm Cecile: William Demarest, Uncle Charlie, was in a lot of Preston Sturges movies.
	5:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yup LL. Seriously here's your A.M. talkshow.
	5:53pm Linda Lee: y'all are funny.
	5:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bert & Ernie.
	5:54pm Dean: ...says the man who played Life with the Lions.
	5:54pm Linda Lee: can't see Fabio on air at 6 am at all.
	5:54pm Dave in Vermont: yes, Fabio and Clay on the morning show!! I am so there.
	5:54pm Linda Lee: have we heard the new morning show yet?
	5:55pm Old Dave: Is this the start of a new triumvirate?
	5:55pm Cheri Pi: LOL @CP
	5:55pm Cecile: yes. that show was awful.
	5:55pm Linda Lee: Al Green.
	5:55pm M: Show the Sabbath poster!!
	5:55pm Dave in Vermont: Station Mgr Ken, take note.
	5:55pm common: green garthside
	5:56pm Mike East: @RevRab11/63...unfortunately he was in the studio farthest from my desk, so I didn't get to peep in.
	5:57pm Doug Werewolf: Helvetica
	5:57pm Michael 98145: Red Green : www.tv.com...
	5:57pm Old Dave: Duct tape was never put to more creative uses than by Red Green...
	5:57pm Doug Werewolf: Slammin
	5:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @MikeE: I presume my starstruck jibber to be rhetorical. :)
	5:57pm V Priceless: Ubu!! Thanx Fabs!
	5:57pm slugluv1313: Cleveland!
	5:58pm Dean: My dad was a big Mud Hens fan. PU from Cleveland, but the Akron scene was budding at the time, too.
	5:58pm Cecile: yes!
	5:58pm V Priceless: woo!
	5:58pm Greg from ZONE 5: MAXIMUM RIFFAGE!!!
	5:58pm Michael 98145: Yay, UBU!
	5:59pm Linda Lee: fantastic.
	5:59pm P-90: Thanks, Fabio
	5:59pm Cheri Pi: I wanna make a deal with you grrrrrl
	5:59pm Mike East: of course, man...but seriously I wish I could have had them in Studio 3 or 4 for that date so I could geek out.
	6:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & to think - recombinant twins w/ DeadBoys...
	6:00pm common: this is always the shit!
	6:01pm slugluv1313: wonderful show, Fabio, THANK YOU!!!!!!!
	6:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx Fabio! - all.
	6:02pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Fabio!
	3:37pm raga: Wow, wow, wow! The German Army & Old Komm was incredible! The Disquiet OST is now on my Christmas list :)

	3:07pm Chris from DC: Yes!
	3:07pm Tommy Jack Haynes: I had just moved to NYC from NC
	3:07pm Jeff: Is this that "hard rock" you were threatening, Fabinator?
	3:07pm glenn: beatles? sabbath? is this q107?
	3:07pm coelacanth∅: Hi Fabio and Failures - Great live version here!
	3:08pm βrian: Have mercy on us, Glenn. You've got Trudeau.
	3:10pm mick: the beatles never get enough credit for how heavy they could be...and then this....
	3:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Early alt version - dif lyrics.
	3:10pm Wild Neil: PEACE all. STILL outa work. Getting fingerprinted for substitute teaching in Lockport, NY tomorrow.
	3:10pm βrian: Could I get that Sabbath in aubergine? Black really doesn't suit me.
	3:11pm coelacanth∅: what i find interesting, Rabbit is that this concert was after the studio version was recorded.
	3:12pm glenn: i like trudeau quite a bit, actually. he's about a thousand times smarter than trump, that's for sure.
	👻 3:13pm JtotheK: good afternoon fellow Failures.
	3:13pm Cliff in Prague: I just learned today that "trump" is British kid slang for "fart"
	3:13pm Polyus: Bill Ward getting down.
	3:14pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ah! Maybe Ozzy's wasted & just riffing...That Iommi lost his fingertips & tuned lower w/ thin gauge strings - & pioneered sound & technique; they're like 75% of what Stoner Metal's about...Sabbath just grew & grew in relevance for me.
	3:14pm Wild Neil: Ozzy Osbourne is a member of The Church of England.;
	3:14pm βrian: @Cliff: Gives a whole new meaning to "This, too, shall pass."
	3:14pm Dean: Ozzy sounded like a friggin' lounge singer there. "Thank you very much, thank you."
	3:16pm JakeGould: Back when Black Sabbath were just stoner dorks.
	👻 3:16pm Rev. Turnip Druid: storks?
	👻 3:17pm Rev. Turnip Druid: also: hello.
	3:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ozzy is the 'Prince of Darkness' - but always connected w/ audiences like that: it's something some people just have...
	3:18pm foofs: Sabs' early road manager (I forget his name) later did the job for Manowar, and devised their trademark Manowar salute.
	3:18pm Guido from Cologne: Ahh Fin-Prog !!!
	3:19pm Cecile: DAMN, Fabs this is a Diane kind of set. It's great.
	3:19pm Cecile: I've seen Ozzy, he is extremely grateful and charming in between songs.
	3:20pm Dean: Was thinking exactly the same thing, Cecile, re: this set.
	3:20pm coelacanth∅: before the singing started i thought for sure that would be an acid mothers temple song.
	3:20pm Cliff in Prague: Me too Dean & Cecile :)
	3:21pm Chris from DC: Killer, Baby Grandmothers
	3:23pm Cecile: I miss Kamikaze a lot.
	3:25pm northguineahills: Nice, good luck Wild Neil!
	3:25pm V Priceless: I was thinking about Witch Mountain.....and thought the same thing, C!
	3:31pm coelacanth: V, did Fabio play witch mountain? it's not on the playlist but maybe that's what i'm referring to...whatever was right after sabbath.
	3:31pm Chris from DC: Music bed? This is interesting.
	3:31pm coelacanth: (with a female vocal)
	3:32pm V Priceless: I don't think so...I was just musing that it could work...
	👻 3:32pm Rev. Turnip Druid: was just about to ask about the new bed music. Diggity.
	3:32pm fleep: RIP John Glenn. Will this year never end?
	👻 3:32pm Rev. Turnip Druid: battle-lutes?
	3:32pm V Priceless: oh crap! I heard he was admitted to the hospital....jeez
	3:33pm Cliff in Prague: No fleep, on December 31st we will go into orbit around a black hole and be subject to relativistic time-warp indefinitely
	3:34pm coelacanth: oh sorry V! maybe i've never heard witch mountain, though heard of them.
	3:35pm coelacanth: - rest in peace John Glenn.
	3:35pm Michael 98145: RIP, John Herschel Glenn Jr. (July 18, 1921 – December 8, 2016)
	3:36pm Polyus: Season Three was a little meh, I thought.
	3:36pm Jonathan Herweg: Never heard the Sabbath riot recording, thanks for playing it .
	3:37pm PKNY: @Fabio - I think the quad version of "War Pigs" doesn't have the spun-up ending.
	3:37pm fleep: I remember doing the time warp.
	3:37pm V Priceless: @ fish: caught them live recently supporting The Skull - the female singer was really fab!
	3:40pm Cliff in Prague: Greg Lake is gone now too?! Good grief
	3:41pm V Priceless: yeah!!
	3:41pm Jonathan Herweg: Thanks you for not playing ELP!
	3:42pm Linda Lee: we're aging fast, friends. enjoy while you can.
	3:43pm Dean: The BBC obit makes the Crimson connection in the headline, relegates ELP to the body of the article. And Rolling Stone puts "Karn Evil 9" on the Tarkus album.
	3:43pm Dean: I'm aging like a fine vinegar.
	3:43pm PKNY: @Linda - Exactly, that's why when musicians I'm fan of that are getting up in age are coming to my area, I now make it a priority to go. So I'll be seeing Jose Feliciano and Pharoah Sanders in the not-to-distant future.
	3:44pm coelacanth: fucking hell. yesterday Irwin played some pre-crimson Greg Lake on the Tom Wilson segment and nobody mentioned his dying. rest in peace Greg Lake.
	3:44pm V Priceless: can't some shitty people die? I mean, c'mon already.....there sure are plenty to choose from....
	3:45pm Cliff in Prague: I'm telling you, it's aliens. First they experiment with our DNA, now they're taking all our creative folk for their nefarious purposes
	3:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Space Age was my Toddlerhood. It was Exploration & Adventure rather than cell phone satellites & Richard Branson or something - tho' this is a golden age for Astronomy. Now I know they were RocketJocks - but they went up military crewcut heads & came down cosmic philosophers. Thx for squeezing into that capsule & being an Inspiration Senator Glenn. Oh - RIP Greg Lake. I love 'Brain Salad Surgery' & you can sue me - but King Crimson - jewel in the crown, you know...@Dean: All as one would expect, then...VP: Word man. Word.
	3:45pm V Priceless: @ fish - I don't think the news had come out yet - isn't that weird?
	👻 3:45pm Rev. Turnip Druid: TARKUS is the only ELP product permitted within the hallowed halls of the Druid cave, mostly for sentimental reasons (as in, age 12). A very fine KC choice, here.
	3:46pm Dean: I think word wasn't out yet, coelacanth. Or he hadn't yet died. I know somebody whose brother's name is ... Tarkus.
	3:46pm coelacanth: shit. very weird. the same basic thing happened with Pauline Oliveros.
	3:46pm Michael 98145: science is young, ignorance is very old. the structure of the DNA molecule was only discovered in 1953.
	3:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Pete Townshend re 'In The Court of the Crimson King' album: 'An unqualified success.'
	3:47pm V Priceless: when I heard knuckle-nuts Kanye sampled this, I nearly shit myself.
	3:47pm Linda Lee: me too, Dean. PKNY ~ good idea!
	👻 3:47pm Mick: @Rev Rabbit: "they went up military crewcut heads & came down cosmic philosophers" is kind of genius.
	3:48pm coelacanth: easily one of my top 10 favorite male vocalists.
	3:50pm Cecile: the kind of prog I can get behind.
	3:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Straight up: Emerson & Lake were both ♏Scorpios - kind of my brothers...
	3:51pm Cecile: yes!
	3:51pm Chris from DC: Yep
	3:51pm V Priceless: lovely
	👻 3:51pm Rev. Turnip Druid: what they yesyep'd.
	3:52pm Cliff in Prague: Yah
	3:53pm V Priceless: Crimso still going strong in the live department to this very day..and playing this!!
	3:53pm Cecile: you can just play a shitload of Crimson until your show ends, Fab.
	3:54pm Hugh: Every day a little sadder, a little madder; someone get me a ladder.
	3:54pm Cecile: this bit right here probably birthed the Residents.
	3:55pm Dean: "science is young, ignorance is very old." Yes and no. Lately I've been reading history of 12th century Western philosophy. The reason vs. authority debate was alive then, with vigorous argument in favor of the superiority of reason. At the time, of course, "science" was still magic, cosmology, and clever (sometimes brilliantly so) spinning of words. But still.
	👻 3:55pm Rev. Turnip Druid: This set reminds me I haven't been able to hit Coulter's show in ages. Must have thought he was off the Drummer schedule...
	3:56pm northguineahills: @Rev: He's still on Tuesdays 12-3 on the Drummer stream.
	3:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Like - the best band ever.
	👻 3:58pm Rev. Turnip Druid: thx NGH: I think the re-design of WFMU's homepage threw me at first: it used to be way up front, or more obvious somehow to idiots like myself. Good news.
	3:58pm coelacanth∅: until their reputation was soiled in 1981 king crimson was the best thing prog had to offer. (i think some of the best music in general...) ...there are several very good elp tracks too though, in my shitty opinion.
	4:01pm Dean: Still waiting for Fripp to remaster and reissue with outtakes "The Test of the Emergency Release System."
	4:02pm Ike: Drummer stream shows' live playlists don't get enough prominence with the new homepage design. Used to be if there was a live show, its current song was there displayed right away, no clicking on anything necessary. Now you have to click on "Drummer" to see it. Bummer for Drummer. I bet fewer tune in.
	👻 4:04pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Ike: that's definitely it, in my case. At least now there's a wealth of archives to plunder. His TAPE HISS shows were/are magical beasts.
	4:05pm coelacanth∅: true Ike the (not) new (anymore) homepage is (still) shit.
	4:07pm V Priceless: agreed - old home page ruled
	4:07pm Whooda: RIP Greg Lake, thanks for the set DJ Strength Through Failure Fabio
	4:09pm Chris from DC: The last Tony Coulter show had some gems.
	4:10pm coelacanth∅: mm i Like this A LOT
	👻 4:11pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Having gone thru a site redesign at the ol' day job, I totally understand how such re-designs are universally disliked, no matter what. It's a cursed job. There's a lot I dig about the FMU refresh, but the lack of prominence w/the Drummer stream is a downer...
	4:14pm P-90: Hi Fab and Failurologists
	4:14pm Cecile: Rev, I'd talk to Ken about it.
	👻 4:15pm Ken From Hyde Park: To fail or not to fail, that is the question.
	4:15pm Cecile: coel, I do like Discipline a lot. The later stuff, not so much.
	4:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: They presented their reasoning for the homepage redo - & it makes sense - & some of it's good - but if you want to see the Schedules for the other Streams - it's in the dropdowns for 'Listening' - not 'Programming'. I understand pairing the Stream Links w/ their Schedules - but I file it under 'you only know if you know'... If you want to
	4:19pm coelacanth∅: Rev.TD, it also has too much going on, so it's slow to load. Cecile, i was so excited and asked for discipline for xmas. i wanted to and tried to but it just didn't seem to have any depth, like the KC i was used to.
	👻 4:20pm chris: many, in this interwebs day and age, simply go to the search bar... i did and typed 'drummer' and the first result was the stream schedule... very quick... but this is a trend of those in the google age, and i needed to learn it from a young'n
	4:22pm coelacanth∅: Rev.R i know there are "cross-platform" reasons for the design, but i think the 2-3 clicks to get to somewhere that should be reached by 1 click is is poor design.
	4:22pm Cliff in Prague: Thanks Fabio! G'night folks
	👻 4:22pm chris: take care, Cliff
	👻 4:23pm Rev. Turnip Druid: true 'nuff Chris - Methinks homepages never get hits anymore; regular visitors have their links & side-doors to where they need to go. I'm far too lazy to do this right..
	4:24pm Cecile: Coel, it's Crimson simplified. And that was fine, but after that was unnnhhh
	4:27pm P-90: Thirlwell is thrilling
	4:28pm coelacanth∅: chris, i'm spoiled. the old homepage offered 1-click to any of the other streams and (as mentioned) what was playing on those streams was right there. - now it's (sometimes) - wait for the slow homepage to finish loading> click on drummer stream link and wait a few seconds> back> click on ichebon stream and wait a few seconds> back...
	4:29pm Chris from DC: Always good to hear Karkowski
	4:31pm dax: this isn't as confusing as what I really stand up for everyone knows that
	4:32pm Dave in Vermont: yay, Fabio
	👻 4:43pm chris: i get it, coel. sometimes my $.02 are overpriced. :)
	4:46pm Dave in Vermont: Nocturnal Animals premiers here tomorrow, going to see it - I just turned you down so I don't get spoiled - I like going in cold.
	4:49pm V Priceless: Bowie used Tony Ousler's projections in some of his later live shows to great effect.
	4:49pm Chris from DC: Liking this a lot, really reminds me of Pelt/Spiral Joy Band.
	4:53pm steve from g-berg: Tom Rechino is excellent and a GREAT graphic designer as well!
	4:55pm steve from g-berg: sorry, Recchion (missed an n)
	4:57pm coelacanth∅: just reading about pelt - because Scott Mc did a Jack Rose tribute today. i have to check out that band.
	4:59pm tuner fish: wish i had surround sound
	5:01pm Chris from DC: Coel, thanks, I will check that show out. The last Pelt record, Effigy, is a good place to start. Full disclosure they are one of my favorites.
	5:08pm coelacanth∅: now i'm even more psyched! ...i don't know how pelt slipped by me; but then sometimes i'm astounded at how very little i know.
	5:24pm Linda Lee: is that you, Yoko?
	5:25pm Michael 98145: vocal frying !!
	5:25pm P-90: I'm guessing Cambridge was pretty intense in 1969
	5:25pm YETI BOB: i saw Spires that in the Sunset Rise open for Kawabata Makoto last week, they did a great set
	5:26pm mink: ahhhhhhhgh
	5:27pm Linda Lee: she was amazing & is still amazing.
	5:28pm Brendan: Now Yoko I want you to be quiet or Im going to turn this car right around and there will be no ice cream
	5:28pm Dave in Vermont: Is this about Cambridge or Cambridge?
	5:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Avant Lennon - completely Righteous. Let's separate the Conformists from the actually Open-Minded...
	5:30pm Linda Lee: stunning stuff.
	5:31pm Dean: Cambridge.
	5:32pm Dean: England.
	5:32pm Dean: The one with a river Cam.
	5:32pm Brendan: Awesome track. I think he found the clitoris.
	5:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& he had to insist 'Revolution 9' get on the White Album - & they rejected 'Cold Turkey'. The nerve.
	5:34pm Linda Lee: wwwoowwwwww
	5:36pm Dave in Vermont: great sndtrk to reading LeGuin
	5:38pm common: nice to walk in on these sounds. hello!
	5:39pm Linda Lee: well, Rev, the Beatles were finishing up. they'd outlived it.
	5:41pm coelacanth∅: my sister was here for a minute and couldn't stand the Yoko so i backed it up to king crimson again. i guess now i'm glad i changed it before Yoko audibly had an orgasm.
	5:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Imagine how their legacy would be different if John had been able to do 'Cold Turkey' & such under The Beatles' moniker in '69...: VUs, MC5, Stooges - Beatles...
	5:45pm Mike East: Chick Corea's been in here rehearsing all last month...with lots of guests...lenny white, john mclaughlin, victor wooton to name a few.
	5:45pm Jeff: Actually, Mr. Pigeon, I think ECM (Manfred Eicher's baby) has been based in Munich for... is it basically forever?
	5:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...coppers!... Tell me what seeing McLaughlin machine gun those soulful notes looks like up close, MikeE!...
	5:48pm Cecile: my circle hasn't stopped talking about it, either.
	5:48pm Dave in Vermont: "I'm not having you...you're horning in"
	5:49pm SSS: Denial!? I want to know...can I hide in your basement?
	5:49pm Cecile: anthology show
	5:50pm melinda: That was a great scene when she had to take the kids out of the school. And that song.
	5:51pm joe mulligan: somehow this hijack on Fabio is more humorous than usual. Clay's sidekick bumps up the ridiculousness.
	5:51pm Linda Lee: not in the cards, Rev. too rigid an organization.
	5:52pm Uncle Michael: Beverly Garland played Fred's new wife on My Three Sons.
	5:52pm Michael 98145: afternoon zoo :)
	5:52pm Cecile: William Demarest, Uncle Charlie, was in a lot of Preston Sturges movies.
	5:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yup LL. Seriously here's your A.M. talkshow.
	5:53pm Linda Lee: y'all are funny.
	5:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bert & Ernie.
	5:54pm Dean: ...says the man who played Life with the Lions.
	5:54pm Linda Lee: can't see Fabio on air at 6 am at all.
	5:54pm Dave in Vermont: yes, Fabio and Clay on the morning show!! I am so there.
	5:54pm Linda Lee: have we heard the new morning show yet?
	5:55pm Old Dave: Is this the start of a new triumvirate?
	5:55pm Cheri Pi: LOL @CP
	5:55pm Cecile: yes. that show was awful.
	5:55pm Linda Lee: Al Green.
	5:55pm M: Show the Sabbath poster!!
	5:55pm Dave in Vermont: Station Mgr Ken, take note.
	5:55pm common: green garthside
	5:56pm Mike East: @RevRab11/63...unfortunately he was in the studio farthest from my desk, so I didn't get to peep in.
	5:57pm Doug Werewolf: Helvetica
	5:57pm Michael 98145: Red Green : www.tv.com...
	5:57pm Old Dave: Duct tape was never put to more creative uses than by Red Green...
	5:57pm Doug Werewolf: Slammin
	5:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @MikeE: I presume my starstruck jibber to be rhetorical. :)
	5:57pm V Priceless: Ubu!! Thanx Fabs!
	5:57pm slugluv1313: Cleveland!
	5:58pm Dean: My dad was a big Mud Hens fan. PU from Cleveland, but the Akron scene was budding at the time, too.
	5:58pm Cecile: yes!
	5:58pm V Priceless: woo!
	5:58pm Greg from ZONE 5: MAXIMUM RIFFAGE!!!
	5:58pm Michael 98145: Yay, UBU!
	5:59pm Linda Lee: fantastic.
	5:59pm P-90: Thanks, Fabio
	5:59pm Cheri Pi: I wanna make a deal with you grrrrrl
	5:59pm Mike East: of course, man...but seriously I wish I could have had them in Studio 3 or 4 for that date so I could geek out.
	6:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & to think - recombinant twins w/ DeadBoys...
	6:00pm common: this is always the shit!
	6:01pm slugluv1313: wonderful show, Fabio, THANK YOU!!!!!!!
	6:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thx Fabio! - all.
	6:02pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Fabio!
	3:37pm raga: Wow, wow, wow! The German Army & Old Komm was incredible! The Disquiet OST is now on my Christmas list :)
