WFMU: Strength Through Failure with Fabio: Playlist from September 7, 2017

Listener comments!
	3:06pm V Priceless: heya Fabio!
	3:06pm Cheri Pi: Hiya Fabs
	3:09pm coelacanth∅: i expect an excellent Holger Czukay tribute today but unfortunately have to work through most of it. -rest in peace.
	3:09pm Michael 98145: Blubbo in my head -
	👻 3:12pm chris: ciao, Fabio! hello, everyone. Yes to the tribute. Boo to the failure of immortality.
	3:14pm adrian in mpls: I have a soft spot in my heart for "Soon Over Babaluma" - first Can record I ever bought - probably like everyone here, I was surprised to read about Czukay's death...
	3:17pm Michael 98145: such great music. what a loss.
	3:19pm Cecile: I was surprised, but not shocked. Just because he was at that age. But what a life he had!
	3:19pm Cecile: Walter Becker, far more of a shock.
	3:20pm slugluv1313: good afternoon, Fabio and everyone! awful news -- reading about the circumstances of Czukay's death (his wife/partner had died about two weeks earlier?) so sad
	3:24pm Cecile: Was it a broken heart, or worse?
	3:27pm Cecile: Can you play the streetcar song? If it fits in?
	3:28pm Michael 98145: roughly translated : "the great Cologne musician and co-founder of the band "Can" died at the age of 79 years in the legendary "Can" studio – an old cinema in Weilerswist. In recent years, the musician had converted this to his apartment. The exact cause of death is unclear, the police determined. Construction workers had not seen Czukay for several days on the premises and informed a neighbour. They looked and found Czukay lifeless in his apartment. An ambulance was only able to determine his death. Holger Czukay, who revolutionized the world with "Can" from 1968 to 1978, died only a few days after his wife Ursula, who died on July 28 on her 55th Birthday...."
	3:29pm Cecile: OH. They found him. And not a few hours after he died, like my brother in law. I hope he felt no pain.
	3:30pm Cecile: now 55. that's only a year younger than I am. Ulp.
	3:30pm slugluv1313: @ Cecile -- from what i have read, cause of death has yet to be determined some articles say that he was in "good spirits" but i dunno -- when my Grandma died, my step-Grandfather died soon after, and apparently this is not that uncommon
	3:32pm Cecile: it happened to my great aunt and her husband.
	3:32pm Michael 98145: despite failure, Schaue Vertrauensvoll in die Zukunft, "Look for confidence in the future"
	3:35pm TehBadDr: Losing one's partner by whatever means is the number one way of have your life turned upside down.
	3:36pm Cliff back in the U.S.S.A.: Same with my grandpa, he died a little over a month after my grandma.
	3:40pm NoCan Do: Prefer Damo Suzuki as a vocalist.
	3:40pm slugluv1313: oh goodness -- Cecile, Cliff --i am so sorry to hear this (and yikes, i am going to be 59 in January)
	3:42pm Michael 98145: nice cover - upload.wikimedia.org...
	3:42pm Henry: streetcar, bitte
	3:42pm Cecile: Some people think it's kind of sweet. I have told my husband if he doesn't continue on old, bitter and crochety after I die, I will kick his ass from beyond the grave.
	3:43pm Cecile: Well, that doesn't make sense. I will kick his ass in the hereafter.
	3:45pm emmagineering: thanks fab — enjoying the holger cz tribute!
	3:47pm slugluv1313: @ Cecile -- hah! :) not sure if i think it is "sweet" -- i guess it is sorta okay that they are reunited in the great beyond (whatever that is) -- but i still think it is sad overall
	3:49pm Michael 98145: this will be another great voyage in the archive. thanks.
	3:51pm Cecile: well, I share your opinion.
	3:51pm TehBadDr: Failure of homeostasis.
	4:10pm geezerette: Oh,Cliff, condolences man.
	4:12pm V Priceless: @ Fab - what's this cool bed music?
	4:13pm Chris from DC: I have missed Paperhouse. Bah.
	4:15pm Doctor B.: I've been a can fan since finding a large handful of their albums in a bargain bin in, of all places, a mall record store. Rock in peace, Holger. News of your passing was the worst news I've heard this week.
	4:16pm miketp: oh Holgar has passed.rip.there was a wfmu dj named Holger back in the 80's.just my memory lane.lovrly playlist Fabio.ill archive it one day.
	4:18pm geezerette: Never heard Can or Czukay before FMU. Great music I might've missed!
	4:23pm The Oscar: I watched the FWWM deleted scenes for the first time just before the finale last weekend. It was really stunning how directly a lot of it applied, as well as how watching the scenes strung together had a similar rhythm to most episodes of The Return.
	4:24pm Ike: Halyards is 3rd Ave & 6th St. in Gowanus. Nice back room, a bit small though.
	4:29pm ɨkɛ: I thought 4th Ave. was the border between Gowanus & the Slope? No? I can't figure out if there's a definite Sunset Park northern border either, or if Greenwood Heights is part of Sunset Park or not.
	4:31pm Chris from DC: Preclickied Tomutonttu, yay.
	👻 4:31pm Rev. Turnip Druid: GREETS, peeps.
	👻 4:31pm Rev. Turnip Druid: First heard Can at age 10 or 11: borrowed the UA pressing of CANNIBALISM from a wise older step-brother. Aumgn totally re-wrote my DNA from the ground up.
	4:35pm alanj: What is the chiming instrument at the end here?
	4:37pm Tonto: Could K.Y. up next?
	4:42pm Chris from DC: Beautiful stuff here.
	👻 4:49pm Summer and Michael: This set is amazing, Fabio.
	4:50pm slugluv1313: wonderful show, Fabio -- thank you so much
	4:50pm adrian in mpls: and right on cue - a train running by my office sounds its horn!
	4:52pm Parq: Not sure, but it's possible the first time Can made it onto my brain pan was when Dan Bodah performed Vitamin C at the marathon finale ca. 2009 (the second year at Maxwell's). 'Spect I'd heard them on FMU before that but never took note of the name.
	4:52pm Davee: i am really enjoying your show Mr Fabio.
	4:53pm Parq: There was a post about Can on my FB account this morning -- not a usual occurrence, you'll have to take my word for it. Did not know why until just now.
	4:53pm Davee: good morning
	4:54pm Davee: The music is putting me in a trance
	4:55pm Carmichael: I just turned 60, so I'm now in the zone. The trick is to live forever and completely screw up the actuarial tables.
	4:56pm geezerette: Loving this set. Dreamlike.
	👻 4:56pm Rev. Turnip Druid: CARM SIDDY!
	4:56pm Davee: i just turned 57 a few weeks ago.....not happy
	4:57pm Dean: Turned 58 a few weeks ago. Could be worse. My kids keep me young-ish.
	4:57pm Davee: Happy with WFMU though.... but who wouldnt be....
	4:58pm Carmichael: Ha ha, Druid .... :)
	4:58pm slugluv1313: yikes i am turning 59 in January
	4:58pm Carmichael: What a demographic we are!
	4:59pm Davee: Graduated HS in 1978. That was a long time ago. Bergen county is not the same.
	5:02pm Davee: im a demographic, youre a demographic, wouldnt you like to be a demographic too?
	5:03pm Dean: That jingle reveals your demographic.
	5:04pm Michael 98145: you peppers
	5:04pm Davee: I do not jingle anymore.....more like a groan now.
	👻 5:05pm Rev. Turnip Druid: crawling up the leg of 50 here, which makes this clergyman a mere pup, it seems...
	5:06pm Davee: Rev D ... you are welcome just the same.
	5:07pm Davee: AAAAÀAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaAaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAaaaaa!
	5:08pm Davee: Sorry, I panicked!
	5:08pm Parq: 61 myself. I went to the movies last weekend and asked about a senior discount. The cutoff was 62. Sigh.
	5:08pm Michael 98145: wum wum wum wum wum
	5:11pm Michael 98145: * yelp *
	5:12pm Carmichael: Did ya bring my Cheez Whiz, boy???
	5:12pm andrewb: If Fabio is only the messenger, he's a rather opinionated one. usual amazing show.
	👻 5:12pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Asked a co-worker today if he had gone to a particularly excellent exhibit here in DC; turned out he was born one year after it closed. hmph. Maybe not such a pup after all.
	5:13pm Michael 98145: we have heard some fine things today
	👻 5:13pm Rev. Turnip Druid: that kind of exchange is happening more & more these days..
	5:13pm geezerette: Frederick Wiseman was born in 1930. Still making films. Do we all feel better now? ( No? Well...)
	👻 5:13pm chris: not quite the five-oh yet, either, over here. <tosses can of cheese whiz to Carm>
	5:13pm TehBadDr: Mmm, yeah, discordant slow driving thing...
	5:13pm Jack: I love it when they proof me when I ask for the senior discount. (I'm 64, but don't look a day over 59... )
	5:15pm Michael 98145: i tried to explain the wonder of a Selectric typewriter to a youngun. tried.
	5:15pm TDK60: I'm older than you are, ha hah ha.
	👻 5:17pm chris: <tosses another can of cheese whiz to TDK60>
	👻 5:18pm Rev. Turnip Druid: I have this show to thank for my knowledge of GATE. It was that Lavender Head LP. Had to secure a copy immediately. Total and Infinite yay.
	5:19pm GentleGiant: "you are only as old as your young"
	5:20pm Michael 98145: ( @ RTD, still enjoying your "Natural Causes" ... great stuff )
	5:20pm Carmichael: Lost in all this banter is the excellent musical score. Kind of underlines the whole conversation ...
	5:20pm steveo: Fabio, I'm sorry I was not listening carefully. Was the Nitsch performance you mentioned at Marc Strauss? I found this: "Music is one of the core pillars of Nitsch’s work, a sensory dimension that has its roots in the primal scream and in moments of excitation. Nitsch will perform an organ recital for the first time in New York. [!] But it's not clear from that web page when this is taking place. Do you have that info?
	5:21pm geezerette: Ed Moses was born in 1925. Still painting like a mockingbird sings, never the same way twice, freer than ever. Is this helping? At all?
	5:22pm Dean: Some of those Selectric models were technological marvels. Rock solid, reliably functional. "Age ain't nothin' but a number."--Saffire, "Middle Aged Blues."
	5:23pm Michael 98145: Sir Michael Philip Jagger is still older than all of us
	5:23pm geezerette: Another great set. Good for the brain waves.
	5:23pm steveo: OK I found the info here. www.marcstraus.com... MARC STRAUS is pleased to present a special organ recital by Viennese artist Hermann Nitsch, on Sunday, September 10th, 5pm.
	5:24pm TDK60: I used to type on a Selectric, to make music and political fliers. It was huge, and it worked.
	👻 5:26pm Rev. Turnip Druid: @michael 981... [5:20], cheers to thee!
	👻 5:26pm Rev. Turnip Druid: and holy hydrogen turkey plasma, this piece.....
	5:27pm Michael 98145: i still have a Selectric hidden away
	5:28pm Dean: I typed early issues of Flipside fanzine on a Royal.
	5:29pm TDK60: This is an interesting piece. Are we Stronger Failures because of it?
	👻 5:30pm chris: i am totally lost in this wilderness. productivity, already low, is now at a standstill.
	5:30pm common: hey. internet finally works.
	5:31pm WinningLoser: Who is keeping score?
	5:31pm TehBadDr: Internet always works, it's your connection that failures.
	5:31pm Michael 98145: this set is beyond great.
	5:32pm common: I am failure
	👻 5:32pm Rev. Turnip Druid: SALUTE, @Dean for the ROYAL endorsement. I've rescued a few manual portables from certain doom at thrift stores & given 'em a nice renovation. Great machines.
	5:33pm Dean: Wow. Taussig played Down Home records a few weeks ago, free show. Missed it. Heh, @Rev., my mom still has the very machine.
	5:37pm TDK60: There's some place that fixes and sells manual typewriters -- forget the website name. This is a Republic of Sadness, Madness.
	5:38pm TehBadDr: Republic of sadness? I know I'm weeping!
	5:38pm geezerette: Fabio, I'd vote for that name change. :D
	5:39pm Dean: At least two typewriter shops in Berkeley. Don't forget the ongoing Cage performance in Halberstadt, due to end in 2640: http://u-in-u.com/magazine/articles/2012/john-cage-organ-project-halberstadt/
	5:39pm nic: i always loved John Cage_magic in a way
	5:41pm geezerette: !!! :D
	👻 5:41pm Rev. Turnip Druid: The survivor of the collection is a Royal portable from the mid 1930s; works beautifully. The sucker will outlive all of us. And yay, the Cage tape stuff.
	5:44pm Michael 98145: John Cage met Mark Tobey and Merce Cunningham while at the Cornish School here in Seattle.
	5:44pm geezerette: Bugs Bunny Buddhism. :D
	5:47pm nic: GREAT !!!
	5:48pm JimInJerseyCity: My dog isn’t a big John Cage fan.
	5:48pm TehBadDr: This is what Daffy Duck hears in the back of his mind!
	5:50pm Michael 98145: Love this Cage quote : "When I hear what we call music, it seems to me that someone is talking. And talking about his feelings, or about his ideas of relationships. But when I hear traffic, the sound of traffic—here on Sixth Avenue, for instance—I don't have the feeling that anyone is talking. I have the feeling that sound is acting. And I love the activity of sound [...] I don't need sound to talk to me."
	5:50pm geezerette: Ed Ruscha / Mason Williams Royal Road Test www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au...
	5:51pm Michael 98145: @gz'ette, love Ed Ruscha
	5:52pm geezerette: Hey, Michael, great quote! Me too. He's still here making new work. :)
	5:53pm andrewb: My daughter, (a born Luddite) insisted on a genuine typewriter at age 9. We got a beautifully restored Royal from a guy in Pennsylvania via ebay. The packing job was worth what we paid.
	5:53pm geezerette: Sounds like a wonderful kid!
	5:53pm Dean: We need more Luddites.
	5:54pm TDK60: Andrewb: Your daughter will be typing away when the power's out from a storm or other.
	5:54pm Michael 98145: @andrewb, that daughter is a keeper
	5:55pm geezerette: haha!,Dean!
	5:55pm Michael 98145: wow, this is almost over. thanks again, Fabio.
	5:57pm andrewb: The ribbons are surprisingly easy to get and the girl is now college shopping.
	5:57pm geezerette: Thanks,Fabio!!!
	👻 5:58pm chris: thanks, Fabio, from the west side of the republic of sadness.
	5:58pm Cheri Pi: wonderful tribute, thanks Fabio
	👻 5:59pm Rev. Turnip Druid: West Side of Sadness.... Was just out in TonyCoulterVille. Whole damned place is on fire.
	5:59pm Dean: Must reread Frank Webster & Kevin Robins' "Times of the Technoculture: From the Information Society to the Virtual Life," one thesis of which is we need more Luddites.

	5:07pm Davee: AAAAÀAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaAaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAaaaaa!
	5:08pm Davee: Sorry, I panicked!
	5:08pm Parq: 61 myself. I went to the movies last weekend and asked about a senior discount. The cutoff was 62. Sigh.
	5:08pm Michael 98145: wum wum wum wum wum
	5:11pm Michael 98145: * yelp *
	5:12pm Carmichael: Did ya bring my Cheez Whiz, boy???
	5:12pm andrewb: If Fabio is only the messenger, he's a rather opinionated one. usual amazing show.
	👻 5:12pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Asked a co-worker today if he had gone to a particularly excellent exhibit here in DC; turned out he was born one year after it closed. hmph. Maybe not such a pup after all.
	5:13pm Michael 98145: we have heard some fine things today
	👻 5:13pm Rev. Turnip Druid: that kind of exchange is happening more & more these days..
	5:13pm geezerette: Frederick Wiseman was born in 1930. Still making films. Do we all feel better now? ( No? Well...)
	👻 5:13pm chris: not quite the five-oh yet, either, over here. <tosses can of cheese whiz to Carm>
	5:13pm TehBadDr: Mmm, yeah, discordant slow driving thing...
	5:13pm Jack: I love it when they proof me when I ask for the senior discount. (I'm 64, but don't look a day over 59... )
	5:15pm Michael 98145: i tried to explain the wonder of a Selectric typewriter to a youngun. tried.
	5:15pm TDK60: I'm older than you are, ha hah ha.
	👻 5:17pm chris: <tosses another can of cheese whiz to TDK60>
	👻 5:18pm Rev. Turnip Druid: I have this show to thank for my knowledge of GATE. It was that Lavender Head LP. Had to secure a copy immediately. Total and Infinite yay.
	5:19pm GentleGiant: "you are only as old as your young"
	5:20pm Michael 98145: ( @ RTD, still enjoying your "Natural Causes" ... great stuff )
	5:20pm Carmichael: Lost in all this banter is the excellent musical score. Kind of underlines the whole conversation ...
	5:20pm steveo: Fabio, I'm sorry I was not listening carefully. Was the Nitsch performance you mentioned at Marc Strauss? I found this: "Music is one of the core pillars of Nitsch’s work, a sensory dimension that has its roots in the primal scream and in moments of excitation. Nitsch will perform an organ recital for the first time in New York. [!] But it's not clear from that web page when this is taking place. Do you have that info?
	5:21pm geezerette: Ed Moses was born in 1925. Still painting like a mockingbird sings, never the same way twice, freer than ever. Is this helping? At all?
	5:22pm Dean: Some of those Selectric models were technological marvels. Rock solid, reliably functional. "Age ain't nothin' but a number."--Saffire, "Middle Aged Blues."
	5:23pm Michael 98145: Sir Michael Philip Jagger is still older than all of us
	5:23pm geezerette: Another great set. Good for the brain waves.
	5:23pm steveo: OK I found the info here. www.marcstraus.com... MARC STRAUS is pleased to present a special organ recital by Viennese artist Hermann Nitsch, on Sunday, September 10th, 5pm.
	5:24pm TDK60: I used to type on a Selectric, to make music and political fliers. It was huge, and it worked.
	👻 5:26pm Rev. Turnip Druid: @michael 981... [5:20], cheers to thee!
	👻 5:26pm Rev. Turnip Druid: and holy hydrogen turkey plasma, this piece.....
	5:27pm Michael 98145: i still have a Selectric hidden away
	5:28pm Dean: I typed early issues of Flipside fanzine on a Royal.
	5:29pm TDK60: This is an interesting piece. Are we Stronger Failures because of it?
	👻 5:30pm chris: i am totally lost in this wilderness. productivity, already low, is now at a standstill.
	5:30pm common: hey. internet finally works.
	5:31pm WinningLoser: Who is keeping score?
	5:31pm TehBadDr: Internet always works, it's your connection that failures.
	5:31pm Michael 98145: this set is beyond great.
	5:32pm common: I am failure
	👻 5:32pm Rev. Turnip Druid: SALUTE, @Dean for the ROYAL endorsement. I've rescued a few manual portables from certain doom at thrift stores & given 'em a nice renovation. Great machines.
	5:33pm Dean: Wow. Taussig played Down Home records a few weeks ago, free show. Missed it. Heh, @Rev., my mom still has the very machine.
	5:37pm TDK60: There's some place that fixes and sells manual typewriters -- forget the website name. This is a Republic of Sadness, Madness.
	5:38pm TehBadDr: Republic of sadness? I know I'm weeping!
	5:38pm geezerette: Fabio, I'd vote for that name change. :D
	5:39pm Dean: At least two typewriter shops in Berkeley. Don't forget the ongoing Cage performance in Halberstadt, due to end in 2640: http://u-in-u.com/magazine/articles/2012/john-cage-organ-project-halberstadt/
	5:39pm nic: i always loved John Cage_magic in a way
	5:41pm geezerette: !!! :D
	👻 5:41pm Rev. Turnip Druid: The survivor of the collection is a Royal portable from the mid 1930s; works beautifully. The sucker will outlive all of us. And yay, the Cage tape stuff.
	5:44pm Michael 98145: John Cage met Mark Tobey and Merce Cunningham while at the Cornish School here in Seattle.
	5:44pm geezerette: Bugs Bunny Buddhism. :D
	5:47pm nic: GREAT !!!
	5:48pm JimInJerseyCity: My dog isn’t a big John Cage fan.
	5:48pm TehBadDr: This is what Daffy Duck hears in the back of his mind!
	5:50pm Michael 98145: Love this Cage quote : "When I hear what we call music, it seems to me that someone is talking. And talking about his feelings, or about his ideas of relationships. But when I hear traffic, the sound of traffic—here on Sixth Avenue, for instance—I don't have the feeling that anyone is talking. I have the feeling that sound is acting. And I love the activity of sound [...] I don't need sound to talk to me."
	5:50pm geezerette: Ed Ruscha / Mason Williams Royal Road Test www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au...
	5:51pm Michael 98145: @gz'ette, love Ed Ruscha
	5:52pm geezerette: Hey, Michael, great quote! Me too. He's still here making new work. :)
	5:53pm andrewb: My daughter, (a born Luddite) insisted on a genuine typewriter at age 9. We got a beautifully restored Royal from a guy in Pennsylvania via ebay. The packing job was worth what we paid.
	5:53pm geezerette: Sounds like a wonderful kid!
	5:53pm Dean: We need more Luddites.
	5:54pm TDK60: Andrewb: Your daughter will be typing away when the power's out from a storm or other.
	5:54pm Michael 98145: @andrewb, that daughter is a keeper
	5:55pm geezerette: haha!,Dean!
	5:55pm Michael 98145: wow, this is almost over. thanks again, Fabio.
	5:57pm andrewb: The ribbons are surprisingly easy to get and the girl is now college shopping.
	5:57pm geezerette: Thanks,Fabio!!!
	👻 5:58pm chris: thanks, Fabio, from the west side of the republic of sadness.
	5:58pm Cheri Pi: wonderful tribute, thanks Fabio
	👻 5:59pm Rev. Turnip Druid: West Side of Sadness.... Was just out in TonyCoulterVille. Whole damned place is on fire.
	5:59pm Dean: Must reread Frank Webster & Kevin Robins' "Times of the Technoculture: From the Information Society to the Virtual Life," one thesis of which is we need more Luddites.
