	👻 3:14pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, northguinea"Permanent Daylight Saving Time"hills!
	3:17pm Cecile: hahahahahahha
	3:18pm Michael 98145: was that passed by vote in FLA?
	3:18pm βrian: We salute international women!
	3:20pm Cecile: the shit Stereo Review used to print about her. I didn't even know who she was, but as a teen, I went to myself "she can't be that bad!"
	3:21pm chocolate monk: Gary Panter never did a shirt?? for shame!
	👻 3:21pm KenW: THRILLED TO PLEDGE! Thanks for everything Brother
	3:21pm TehBadDr: Huzza! Here's to the Womens !!!
	3:21pm TDK60: I think there's an I.W.D. rally in Washington Square round 4 or 5 today.
	3:23pm northguineahills: Today, I'm spending approximately $2 on food today. But I make everything from scratch. Having Mexi-pierogis right now! (I will spend more on beer tonight).
	3:23pm βrian: I think the coffee analogy schtick can be retired now. Really, it just doesn't resonate. Maybe you could touch on 420 budgets or something.
	3:23pm TehBadDr: Priorities!
	3:24pm Chris from DC: Please send Mexi-pierogies.
	3:24pm βrian: @NGH: Since when is beer not food?
	3:25pm northguineahills: Definitely getting Fab's fab female phenomenological premium!
	3:25pm TehBadDr: Always hated the granular synth things, subtractive analogue is just so intuitive!
	3:25pm (i)(k)EEE: People blow a lot of money on overrated trash from Slimebucks, though, so I say that's a good talking point. Get a French coffee-printing press or whatever it's called, and make your own; send the savings to FMU!
	3:27pm TehBadDr: Every Froo froo Starshmucks thing I ever bought was handed directly to a female!
	3:27pm βrian: I had a coffee from Starbucks once. (Once.)
	3:27pm Lixiviated Life: They R John Is
	3:27pm northguineahills: @βrian: I'm protective of my liquid bread! @Chris: Just make normal Polish pierogis, and use crema Mexicana and smoke some piquin chilies, crush them, and mix w/ the crema. Yum!
	👻 3:28pm Rev. Turnip Druid: JUST GOT HERE WHAT DID I MISS PLEASE SAY EVERYTHING AGAIN IN SEQUENCE
	3:28pm Michael 98145: that -does- sound good, @ngh
	3:28pm Stepchild: hi beer wimmin what?
	3:29pm Chris from DC: NGH, that sounds amazing.
	👻 3:29pm KenW: LOVING THIS!
	3:29pm TDK60: Here's what transpired Rev. Humans evolved to Alice Coltrane, then that was about it.
	3:29pm northguineahills: @βrian: The last time I had charbucks a decade ago, I was on deaths door, stuck in an airport for over 12 hours, and needed to stay awake less I miss my flight.
	3:30pm northguineahills: What KenW said!
	3:30pm TehBadDr: Hmmm, mebbe I should get my head around some granular synthesis methods.
	3:30pm βrian: The really do burn their beans, don't they?
	3:31pm ⓔⓘⓘⓘⓘⓚ: @TDK60, LOL, you win the Series of Tubes today.
	3:31pm TehBadDr: All Systems GO!
	👻 3:33pm Rev. Turnip Druid: that lp by MAN is solid as hell.
	3:33pm coelacanth∅: errrroger greetings earthlings and others
	3:34pm coelacanth∅: (or from the isle of man?)
	3:36pm Michael 98145: nice cover, Man img.discogs.com...
	3:38pm Michael 98145: left coast represents !
	3:40pm melinda: Hi folks, here in the phone room again!
	3:44pm Jack: I want to vote for Dave Mandl to come back to the airwaves.
	3:45pm PEACE ALL from WN!: @NGH-two of my favorite things, Mexican Food and Polish Food! What is in a mexican pierogi?!
	👻 3:47pm KenW: This is EVERYTHING, thank you Fabio!!!!!!!!!!!
	3:48pm TehBadDr: Iiiiiiiiiiii Yayayyyayyayayy
	3:49pm TDK60: Of course we want Dave M. back on WFMU. Is it just that you're taking a break?
	3:49pm MONEYBAG$: is this a Doors cover?
	3:51pm northguineahills: @Wild Neil: I just made the pierogis like I would normal Polish ones, (Potato/onion), and add crema de Mexicana and crushed smoked chlis. I suppose I could use Mexican ingredients in the future.
	3:51pm Tony: Northguineahills: What do you mean "just" make normal Polish pierogis? Are we supposed to know how to make pierogis? I wish I did. I buy them frozen sometimes.
	3:51pm TDK60: That might be Lennon on the guitar.
	3:52pm Cecile: Sikora Polish Grocery in Minneapolis has some ridiculously good pierogis. they get them from a Chicago company.
	3:53pm Tony: And regarding Starbucks, I try to avoid the place too. But I just found that someone had left a Starbucks gift card in my mailbox at work, so I guess I will be going there soon.
	3:54pm Cecile: I like coffee at coffee shops, but Starbucks coffee sucks. They do have OK food, though.
	3:54pm PEACE ALL from WN!: Even real Poles usually just get frozen. It takes like FOUR HOURS to make pierogis. Its like making a thanksgiving meal, really ! Its really really really really hard!
	3:55pm northguineahills: @Tony: Using frozen or refrigerated ones from a Polish deli (or from elsewhere) is just fine. I've been on a dumpling kick lately.
	3:56pm Stepchild: GAMBIA
	3:56pm PEACE ALL from WN!: I want to get gluten free pierogi. Or ones from a country that does not spray their wheat with roundup like we do.
	3:57pm Cecile: Neil, the Poles I know who are not near urban centers make a whole day of it, and make enough for six months.
	3:57pm yippie: grow your own wheat what are you lazy or somethin?
	3:58pm Tony: Trader Joe's has a Russian version that is called something else I can't remember, but it seemed similar to Pierogis. Those were good with onions and/or mushrooms and sour cream
	3:58pm TDK60: We even have listeners in Staten Island. Uh oh...might get myself in trouble there.
	3:58pm northguineahills: Democracy (implying Ken isn't a dictator ;)
	3:58pm Cecile: But those ones at Sikora are damn good. nearly as good as the best homemade ones.
	3:58pm yippie: its better to make pirogies all nite long instead of all day long
	3:58pm Cecile: Tony, they might be pelmeni or piroshky.
	3:59pm northguineahills: TBH, I only make pierogis once or twice a year, I also do buy refrigerated kind as well,
	3:59pm TDK60: Gonna get that Langford T-shirt because I have sympathy for him.
	4:00pm Tony: Cecile, you are right: https://www.traderjoes.com/digin/post/chicken-mushroom-pelmeni I don't remember them having chicken in them but maybe they did. The package looks familiar.
	4:01pm Chris from DC: My grandmother made amazing pierogies. Used to take her all day. I have never had one as good.
	4:04pm TDK60: Walla Walla I think is out in the dry, east part of Wash. St. It has a big prison. I believe there are some old Wobblies buried in the yard.
	4:05pm Rich in Washington: Walla Walla is also the background crowd voice acting capital of the world.
	4:05pm βrian: "I'm stickin' to the union 'til the day I die."
	4:06pm Rich in Washington: It used to be called Walla Walla Walla.
	4:11pm Jeff Moore: That Monica! We've know for years that she has one of the world's greatest ears for music; recently we've been learning she has a great eye, too.
	4:11pm yippie: now wfmu started playing almighty opp, i dont think any other radio station plays almighty opp.
	4:11pm slugluv1313: oh yes! Alison Steele, The Night Bird! 10pm to 2pm Monday through Friday :)
	4:13pm slugluv1313: Pastor John -- "GOD made her! not to take the FUN out of girl watching . . . " HAH!
	4:13pm melinda: This is great.
	4:13pm Chris from DC: Just...wow
	4:13pm dale: why did i think this was from a shampoo commercial?
	👻 4:13pm chris: ohhhh, yeaaaaahhhhh!
	4:14pm Rich in Washington: this is such a weird collection. He's like an Ecumenical Ministries Ken Nordine.
	👻 4:14pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Haven't heard this in ages.
	4:14pm P-90: The Immortal Bob Crewe, I believe. Hi Fab and Failurines!
	4:14pm dale: here's all the mp3s from this album blog.wfmu.org...
	4:14pm Rich in Washington: The CD comp has much, much more.
	4:15pm slugluv1313: "a HAPPENING!"
	4:15pm P-90: And Konichiwa, Brumin-san
	4:15pm TehBadDr: /Dims the light, and takes a seat in the corner armchair obscured by the light of the lamp. Lights smoke.
	4:15pm TDK60: Might we find Alison Steele's influences may have been from early free-form stations like WBAI and WFMU?!! Haven't done the research...yet, just guessin.'
	4:15pm northguineahills: Definitely has a Ken Nordine vibe. (minus the God part)
	4:16pm maestroso: Oh man. The Night Bird and Brother John on WABC fm.
	4:16pm slugluv1313: RIGHT! totally forgot about how "GOD made IT"!!!
	4:16pm northguineahills: Whoops, Rich beat me to it...
	4:17pm Rich in Washington: My favorite track is The Noise.
	4:18pm Rich in Washington: He also sounds a lot like Norman Rose, whose voice was all over the 60s and 70s.
	4:18pm P-90: "...ain't no way I can get hung-up..."
	4:18pm Cecile: I think the it that God made was sex.
	4:19pm Rich in Washington: the set's worth it, people!
	4:19pm P-90: But didn't legendary producer-songwriter Bob Crewe produce the music tracks for these?
	4:22pm Rich in Washington: I think they just licensed pre-existing songs for these radio productions.
	4:25pm βrian: Basso profundo
	4:29pm βrian: Why aren't we hearing Ken's ring tones in the background?
	4:30pm P-90: Music to Watch Girls By came from a jingle written for a Pepsi TV ad, which Bob Crewe heard and wrote a full-length arrangement of. In addition to the spoken-word version, Crewe issued an extended instrumental version on an album of "swingin' bachelor pad" music which was popular enough to go gold.
	👻 4:37pm Bas NL: Do enjoy! Amsterdam's great!
	4:37pm TDK60: Bas is a true Woofmooer but I won't try to run that through an online translation.
	4:37pm Parq: I had thought that Herb Alpert had a hit with "Music to Watch", but it's not mentioned in the song's Wikipedia page (link below). So I googled it, and it turns out that, for whatever reason, Alpert released it under the title "Music To Watch Girls Go By". Such a strange world, show biz. About the song: en.wikipedia.org...
	4:39pm TehBadDr: "That creepy guy" is really selling it short. You can't find that level of misogyny nowadays! Well, actually you can.
	4:42pm Cecile: Ryuichi Sakamoto?
	4:42pm slugluv1313: i remember that Pepsi commercial! but for some reason (probably my 7-year-old-kid brain!) i thought the song came first, and Pepsi used it in their commercials vague recollections of the Andy Williams version too -- but yikes! check out the lyrics! www.metrolyrics.com...
	4:43pm All out Scott: @ cecile must be. awesome stuff
	4:46pm Cheri Pi: Love is the Devil
	👻 4:47pm Rev. Turnip Druid: YASS, Pi. That's the one. It's been on my Roku watch-list for ages but isn't currently on any channel/app I have access to.
	4:48pm Carmichael: Heya Fabio, Dave and various personages. Partaking of all that is musical ...
	4:49pm yippie: pepsi drink it up
	4:50pm BronwynB: yassss
	4:50pm BronwynB: this is the seventh seal, not the plague, btw
	4:50pm dale: love when fabio breaks out the scott - shows his sensitive side.
	4:51pm BronwynB: Mr. Death is my favorite part of this song
	4:51pm Cheri Pi: I'd love to see it too, someday
	4:51pm Lewis: as a former WI resident, my appreciation of Scott Walker is tinged...
	4:52pm Carmichael: Here's my boy Scott.
	4:53pm Linda Lee: just love it.
	4:54pm TehBadDr: Am I the only one who get's an over the top Peter Murphy vibe from this?
	4:57pm Cecile: Lewis!
	4:57pm Cecile: Husker Du
	4:58pm Rob (Jerzcity): the Replacements!
	4:58pm Cecile: Pastor John Rydgren did his work in St. Paul, MN
	4:58pm Lewis: Cecile! Mpls in the house the old guy said!
	4:59pm Cecile: right on!
	4:59pm Tome: Dylan born in Duluth ,, raised in Hibbing, Minnesota .. great stuff Fab and Dave .
	4:59pm dk: not from minneapolis, but right next door (st. paul): tod dockstader.
	4:59pm Cecile: No, that's not the case
	5:00pm Barney Grubbs: "The Cities"
	👻 5:00pm Rev. Turnip Druid: TOD!
	5:00pm dale: dom deluise
	5:00pm Cecile: Dom DeLuise.
	5:00pm Michael 98145: some folks from Frisco are too full of themselves
	5:00pm flashbazbo: Dylan was a freshman at the university in minn when Paul westerberg was born on 12 31 59.
	5:00pm TDK60: "The Big Apple"...who says that anymore?
	👻 5:00pm mrdonutsu: "San Fran", "Frisco", "The City By The Bay"...
	5:01pm TehBadDr: Was from ......
	5:01pm P-90: Fast, dale and Cecile
	5:01pm Marc15: Duluth
	5:01pm Barney Grubbs: The Twin Harbors!
	👻 5:02pm Rev. Turnip Druid: I have eaten the lasagna of Dom DeLuise. Let it be told.
	5:02pm Cecile: You can say the Cities. You just have to make sure when you are describing something you have the right city. Don't mix up Minneapolis with St.Paul.
	5:02pm jess: blazing saddles
	5:02pm Cecile: He did lost a lot of weight.
	5:02pm Carmichael: The city so nice they built another one right next to it.
	5:02pm Cecile: lose...
	5:02pm flashbazbo: Dylan saw buddy holly at the Duluth armory
	5:02pm dk: ... and instead of "hibbing" or "duluth", you can always just say "up north".
	👻 5:02pm Rev. Turnip Druid: It was 1988. The year of the Dom Lasagna.
	5:05pm Linda Lee: a vocation, not a hobby.
	5:05pm common: Fabio! yoos!
	5:06pm dale: wasn't he wearing a muumuu there for a while?
	👻 5:07pm mrdonutsu: Look what Fabio has in his locker! reverb.com...
	5:08pm dale: clay gets paid - but he's paid for the sleep deprivation.
	5:11pm Linda Lee: definite spacial quality ~ even online!
	5:16pm Lixiviated Life: i do have the feeling
	5:17pm TehBadDr: So when is this going to get weird/ Fabio usually delves into the, err, umm, unusual!
	5:18pm TDK60: That's sorta like Clay...odd tangents.
	5:22pm Michael 98145: people who actually work may still use lunchboxes ...
	5:22pm Linda Lee: i had a metal Beatles lunchbox in first grade! 65 or so.
	👻 5:22pm Rev. Turnip Druid: SPEED RACER lunchbox, here.
	5:22pm Rich in Washington: "Why are there no washing machine magnets?" <president of waning refrigerator magnet corporations, suddenly sitting upright>
	5:23pm Kat in Chicago: I was jealous of the girl I carpooled with in first grade who had a metal Beatles lunchbox. I think I had paper bags.
	5:23pm dale: i have the batman lunchbox. bonanza, welcome back kotter....they aren't worth that much anymore. ebay kind of killed that.
	👻 5:23pm Rev. Turnip Druid: SHOW YOUR PHYSICAL LOVE FOR WFMU.
	5:24pm Michael 98145: ( that sounded kinky, Rev :)
	5:24pm BronwynB: show your carnal desire for wfmu
	👻 5:24pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Also a prized possession was the BATTLE OF THE PLANETS lunchbox. That was the very last time I was ever groovy.
	5:25pm Linda Lee: don't feel bad Kat. paper bags were hipper.
	👻 5:25pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Fabio, seriously: when you got to 10, a phone rang here in THIS office.
	5:26pm Kat in Chicago: No they weren't LL but thanks for trying to console me :)
	5:26pm Kat in Chicago: I don't even remember Battle of the Planets but I just looked up images for that lunchbox. Groovy indeed!
	5:27pm Linda Lee: well, i thought so! i really did. the beatles lunchbox was not my idea.
	5:27pm dale: mike murcury and his supercar is my favorite. the welcome back kotter i found on a shelf in a brooklyn hardware store covered with dust, brand new back around 1985. the lady said it had been there so long that two dollars would be okay.
	5:27pm Linda Lee: plus, my working mother didn't realize you were meant to clean the thermos ..
	👻 5:27pm Bas NL: Clay on the phone?
	5:28pm Linda Lee: nice work dale!
	5:36pm Michael 98145: all hail, John Cale. only saw him live once.
	5:36pm V Priceless: Would love to hear that Cale interview! Great!
	5:37pm dk: oh god, i will never _ever_ tire of this song. chills. like, every. single. time.
	5:37pm Kat in Chicago: Dirty Thermos, ew.
	5:37pm Kat in Chicago: Me too dk
	5:37pm Michael 98145: [ img.discogs.com... ]
	👻 5:38pm Rev. Turnip Druid: @Kat: that was definitely the height of my lunchbox game. After that I descended into uncool territory with one from the TV show Emergency! (exclamation point being part of the name, not my emphasis... also a beat-me-up-after-school lunchbox, sadly)
	5:38pm common: just listened to this today. strange.
	5:39pm V Priceless: Was just thinking for next week’s show: Cale vs. Styx showdown! : )
	5:39pm common: and, emergency! was my favorite show as a tadpole, rev. Johnny gage and roy desoto!
	5:40pm northguineahills: @Michael: I saw him play live once as well, in the 1990s. He was playing pub rock. My friend heckled him, "bring out your viola!"
	👻 5:40pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Not familiar with this Cale tune. Like a much more intense Idle Race tune.
	5:40pm dk: that emergency! lunchbox was the opposite of uncool. i had that emergency! lunchbox.
	5:40pm Carmichael: Flintstones lunchbox for me, including the thermos.
	5:41pm dale: was julie loondon that lunchbox?
	5:41pm dale: london ON ....
	5:43pm dale: oh, i have the 70s tv show buck rogers, too.
	5:43pm Parq: See, there's my argument for WFMU right there. Where else can you find a community in which you can take for granted that most everyone around you is familiar with John Cale's "Paris 1919"? That's one of my favorite songs, and I can't imagine how I would ever have heard it if I had never been an FMU listener.
	5:43pm dk: she was on the lunchbox AND the thermos, i think. it was that cool.
	5:43pm dale: one of the collecting holy grails is buying the printed metal sheets that haven't been formed into the boxes yet.
	5:44pm TDK60: Did you know that Cale grew up speaking Welsh first? Now you do.
	5:45pm Marcel M: <3
	5:45pm Michael 98145: whoa, i -want- a Julie London lunchbox !
	5:45pm Linda Lee: i do too.
	5:46pm Michael 98145: how cool would that be? :)
	5:47pm Linda Lee: i'd wash the thermos too.
	5:48pm Michael 98145: with pleasure
	5:49pm northguineahills: Darn, I already have two copies of the original pressing of Cage/Tudor of Variations IV 1 & 2.
	5:49pm TDK60: Next Marathon..WFMU lunchbox?
	5:49pm Linda Lee: a dear friend was treasurer with cage's mycological group. invited to all the concerts! she adored him.
	5:52pm common: I want a stalker lunch box
	👻 5:52pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Artemiev is yay
	5:53pm Parq: TDK, I've got two. Regret to say they don't seem to be available in the swag store or the prize warehouse any more. Maybe they'll bring them back.
	5:53pm Michael 98145: i need to dig out my copy of Songs For Drella
	5:53pm Linda Lee: actually, Kat, John Cage ate his lunch out of paper bags. truth!
	5:54pm TDK60: Parq, didn't know there'd been WFMU boxes! I don't pay close enough attention to WFMU Swag History.
	5:55pm Carmichael: And Dirty Thermos is a great band name!
	👻 5:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: Some lunch box company should offer a generic lunch box assembly and then sell kits where you wrap the outside and the thermos with custom prints. You can be Star Wars on Monday and David Bowie on Tuesday, for example. Sort of like all those cool cell phone covers for Nokia phones about twenty years ago.
	5:56pm Michael 98145: my WFMU bottle opener is always with me
	👻 5:56pm Rev. Turnip Druid: th'WFMU lunchbox makes a perfect merch containment device for CDs at shows & whatnot. Always a good conversation starter.
	5:56pm Linda Lee: @Carmichael ~ i agree!
	5:56pm TDK60: Gotta miss the last few moments...thanks Fabio & Dave!
	5:57pm Carmichael: I have an FMU thumb drive, night light and bottle opener.
	👻 5:58pm chris: thanks, guys! and thank you, pledgers!
	6:00pm Parq: Rev. Turnup, exactly. Both of mine are filled with past marathon premium CDs.
	6:00pm Kat in Chicago: that bottle opener rules, it lives on my keychain
	👻 6:00pm Bas NL: Thanks Fabio, Dave!
	6:00pm Michael 98145: onward!

	👻 3:14pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, northguinea"Permanent Daylight Saving Time"hills!
	3:17pm Cecile: hahahahahahha
	3:18pm Michael 98145: was that passed by vote in FLA?
	3:18pm βrian: We salute international women!
	3:20pm Cecile: the shit Stereo Review used to print about her. I didn't even know who she was, but as a teen, I went to myself "she can't be that bad!"
	3:21pm chocolate monk: Gary Panter never did a shirt?? for shame!
	👻 3:21pm KenW: THRILLED TO PLEDGE! Thanks for everything Brother
	3:21pm TehBadDr: Huzza! Here's to the Womens !!!
	3:21pm TDK60: I think there's an I.W.D. rally in Washington Square round 4 or 5 today.
	3:23pm northguineahills: Today, I'm spending approximately $2 on food today. But I make everything from scratch. Having Mexi-pierogis right now! (I will spend more on beer tonight).
	3:23pm βrian: I think the coffee analogy schtick can be retired now. Really, it just doesn't resonate. Maybe you could touch on 420 budgets or something.
	3:23pm TehBadDr: Priorities!
	3:24pm Chris from DC: Please send Mexi-pierogies.
	3:24pm βrian: @NGH: Since when is beer not food?
	3:25pm northguineahills: Definitely getting Fab's fab female phenomenological premium!
	3:25pm TehBadDr: Always hated the granular synth things, subtractive analogue is just so intuitive!
	3:25pm (i)(k)EEE: People blow a lot of money on overrated trash from Slimebucks, though, so I say that's a good talking point. Get a French coffee-printing press or whatever it's called, and make your own; send the savings to FMU!
	3:27pm TehBadDr: Every Froo froo Starshmucks thing I ever bought was handed directly to a female!
	3:27pm βrian: I had a coffee from Starbucks once. (Once.)
	3:27pm Lixiviated Life: They R John Is
	3:27pm northguineahills: @βrian: I'm protective of my liquid bread! @Chris: Just make normal Polish pierogis, and use crema Mexicana and smoke some piquin chilies, crush them, and mix w/ the crema. Yum!
	👻 3:28pm Rev. Turnip Druid: JUST GOT HERE WHAT DID I MISS PLEASE SAY EVERYTHING AGAIN IN SEQUENCE
	3:28pm Michael 98145: that -does- sound good, @ngh
	3:28pm Stepchild: hi beer wimmin what?
	3:29pm Chris from DC: NGH, that sounds amazing.
	👻 3:29pm KenW: LOVING THIS!
	3:29pm TDK60: Here's what transpired Rev. Humans evolved to Alice Coltrane, then that was about it.
	3:29pm northguineahills: @βrian: The last time I had charbucks a decade ago, I was on deaths door, stuck in an airport for over 12 hours, and needed to stay awake less I miss my flight.
	3:30pm northguineahills: What KenW said!
	3:30pm TehBadDr: Hmmm, mebbe I should get my head around some granular synthesis methods.
	3:30pm βrian: The really do burn their beans, don't they?
	3:31pm ⓔⓘⓘⓘⓘⓚ: @TDK60, LOL, you win the Series of Tubes today.
	3:31pm TehBadDr: All Systems GO!
	👻 3:33pm Rev. Turnip Druid: that lp by MAN is solid as hell.
	3:33pm coelacanth∅: errrroger greetings earthlings and others
	3:34pm coelacanth∅: (or from the isle of man?)
	3:36pm Michael 98145: nice cover, Man img.discogs.com...
	3:38pm Michael 98145: left coast represents !
	3:40pm melinda: Hi folks, here in the phone room again!
	3:44pm Jack: I want to vote for Dave Mandl to come back to the airwaves.
	3:45pm PEACE ALL from WN!: @NGH-two of my favorite things, Mexican Food and Polish Food! What is in a mexican pierogi?!
	👻 3:47pm KenW: This is EVERYTHING, thank you Fabio!!!!!!!!!!!
	3:48pm TehBadDr: Iiiiiiiiiiii Yayayyyayyayayy
	3:49pm TDK60: Of course we want Dave M. back on WFMU. Is it just that you're taking a break?
	3:49pm MONEYBAG$: is this a Doors cover?
	3:51pm northguineahills: @Wild Neil: I just made the pierogis like I would normal Polish ones, (Potato/onion), and add crema de Mexicana and crushed smoked chlis. I suppose I could use Mexican ingredients in the future.
	3:51pm Tony: Northguineahills: What do you mean "just" make normal Polish pierogis? Are we supposed to know how to make pierogis? I wish I did. I buy them frozen sometimes.
	3:51pm TDK60: That might be Lennon on the guitar.
	3:52pm Cecile: Sikora Polish Grocery in Minneapolis has some ridiculously good pierogis. they get them from a Chicago company.
	3:53pm Tony: And regarding Starbucks, I try to avoid the place too. But I just found that someone had left a Starbucks gift card in my mailbox at work, so I guess I will be going there soon.
	3:54pm Cecile: I like coffee at coffee shops, but Starbucks coffee sucks. They do have OK food, though.
	3:54pm PEACE ALL from WN!: Even real Poles usually just get frozen. It takes like FOUR HOURS to make pierogis. Its like making a thanksgiving meal, really ! Its really really really really hard!
	3:55pm northguineahills: @Tony: Using frozen or refrigerated ones from a Polish deli (or from elsewhere) is just fine. I've been on a dumpling kick lately.
	3:56pm Stepchild: GAMBIA
	3:56pm PEACE ALL from WN!: I want to get gluten free pierogi. Or ones from a country that does not spray their wheat with roundup like we do.
	3:57pm Cecile: Neil, the Poles I know who are not near urban centers make a whole day of it, and make enough for six months.
	3:57pm yippie: grow your own wheat what are you lazy or somethin?
	3:58pm Tony: Trader Joe's has a Russian version that is called something else I can't remember, but it seemed similar to Pierogis. Those were good with onions and/or mushrooms and sour cream
	3:58pm TDK60: We even have listeners in Staten Island. Uh oh...might get myself in trouble there.
	3:58pm northguineahills: Democracy (implying Ken isn't a dictator ;)
	3:58pm Cecile: But those ones at Sikora are damn good. nearly as good as the best homemade ones.
	3:58pm yippie: its better to make pirogies all nite long instead of all day long
	3:58pm Cecile: Tony, they might be pelmeni or piroshky.
	3:59pm northguineahills: TBH, I only make pierogis once or twice a year, I also do buy refrigerated kind as well,
	3:59pm TDK60: Gonna get that Langford T-shirt because I have sympathy for him.
	4:00pm Tony: Cecile, you are right: https://www.traderjoes.com/digin/post/chicken-mushroom-pelmeni I don't remember them having chicken in them but maybe they did. The package looks familiar.
	4:01pm Chris from DC: My grandmother made amazing pierogies. Used to take her all day. I have never had one as good.
	4:04pm TDK60: Walla Walla I think is out in the dry, east part of Wash. St. It has a big prison. I believe there are some old Wobblies buried in the yard.
	4:05pm Rich in Washington: Walla Walla is also the background crowd voice acting capital of the world.
	4:05pm βrian: "I'm stickin' to the union 'til the day I die."
	4:06pm Rich in Washington: It used to be called Walla Walla Walla.
	4:11pm Jeff Moore: That Monica! We've know for years that she has one of the world's greatest ears for music; recently we've been learning she has a great eye, too.
	4:11pm yippie: now wfmu started playing almighty opp, i dont think any other radio station plays almighty opp.
	4:11pm slugluv1313: oh yes! Alison Steele, The Night Bird! 10pm to 2pm Monday through Friday :)
	4:13pm slugluv1313: Pastor John -- "GOD made her! not to take the FUN out of girl watching . . . " HAH!
	4:13pm melinda: This is great.
	4:13pm Chris from DC: Just...wow
	4:13pm dale: why did i think this was from a shampoo commercial?
	👻 4:13pm chris: ohhhh, yeaaaaahhhhh!
	4:14pm Rich in Washington: this is such a weird collection. He's like an Ecumenical Ministries Ken Nordine.
	👻 4:14pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Haven't heard this in ages.
	4:14pm P-90: The Immortal Bob Crewe, I believe. Hi Fab and Failurines!
	4:14pm dale: here's all the mp3s from this album blog.wfmu.org...
	4:14pm Rich in Washington: The CD comp has much, much more.
	4:15pm slugluv1313: "a HAPPENING!"
	4:15pm P-90: And Konichiwa, Brumin-san
	4:15pm TehBadDr: /Dims the light, and takes a seat in the corner armchair obscured by the light of the lamp. Lights smoke.
	4:15pm TDK60: Might we find Alison Steele's influences may have been from early free-form stations like WBAI and WFMU?!! Haven't done the research...yet, just guessin.'
	4:15pm northguineahills: Definitely has a Ken Nordine vibe. (minus the God part)
	4:16pm maestroso: Oh man. The Night Bird and Brother John on WABC fm.
	4:16pm slugluv1313: RIGHT! totally forgot about how "GOD made IT"!!!
	4:16pm northguineahills: Whoops, Rich beat me to it...
	4:17pm Rich in Washington: My favorite track is The Noise.
	4:18pm Rich in Washington: He also sounds a lot like Norman Rose, whose voice was all over the 60s and 70s.
	4:18pm P-90: "...ain't no way I can get hung-up..."
	4:18pm Cecile: I think the it that God made was sex.
	4:19pm Rich in Washington: the set's worth it, people!
	4:19pm P-90: But didn't legendary producer-songwriter Bob Crewe produce the music tracks for these?
	4:22pm Rich in Washington: I think they just licensed pre-existing songs for these radio productions.
	4:25pm βrian: Basso profundo
	4:29pm βrian: Why aren't we hearing Ken's ring tones in the background?
	4:30pm P-90: Music to Watch Girls By came from a jingle written for a Pepsi TV ad, which Bob Crewe heard and wrote a full-length arrangement of. In addition to the spoken-word version, Crewe issued an extended instrumental version on an album of "swingin' bachelor pad" music which was popular enough to go gold.
	👻 4:37pm Bas NL: Do enjoy! Amsterdam's great!
	4:37pm TDK60: Bas is a true Woofmooer but I won't try to run that through an online translation.
	4:37pm Parq: I had thought that Herb Alpert had a hit with "Music to Watch", but it's not mentioned in the song's Wikipedia page (link below). So I googled it, and it turns out that, for whatever reason, Alpert released it under the title "Music To Watch Girls Go By". Such a strange world, show biz. About the song: en.wikipedia.org...
	4:39pm TehBadDr: "That creepy guy" is really selling it short. You can't find that level of misogyny nowadays! Well, actually you can.
	4:42pm Cecile: Ryuichi Sakamoto?
	4:42pm slugluv1313: i remember that Pepsi commercial! but for some reason (probably my 7-year-old-kid brain!) i thought the song came first, and Pepsi used it in their commercials vague recollections of the Andy Williams version too -- but yikes! check out the lyrics! www.metrolyrics.com...
	4:43pm All out Scott: @ cecile must be. awesome stuff
	4:46pm Cheri Pi: Love is the Devil
	👻 4:47pm Rev. Turnip Druid: YASS, Pi. That's the one. It's been on my Roku watch-list for ages but isn't currently on any channel/app I have access to.
	4:48pm Carmichael: Heya Fabio, Dave and various personages. Partaking of all that is musical ...
	4:49pm yippie: pepsi drink it up
	4:50pm BronwynB: yassss
	4:50pm BronwynB: this is the seventh seal, not the plague, btw
	4:50pm dale: love when fabio breaks out the scott - shows his sensitive side.
	4:51pm BronwynB: Mr. Death is my favorite part of this song
	4:51pm Cheri Pi: I'd love to see it too, someday
	4:51pm Lewis: as a former WI resident, my appreciation of Scott Walker is tinged...
	4:52pm Carmichael: Here's my boy Scott.
	4:53pm Linda Lee: just love it.
	4:54pm TehBadDr: Am I the only one who get's an over the top Peter Murphy vibe from this?
	4:57pm Cecile: Lewis!
	4:57pm Cecile: Husker Du
	4:58pm Rob (Jerzcity): the Replacements!
	4:58pm Cecile: Pastor John Rydgren did his work in St. Paul, MN
	4:58pm Lewis: Cecile! Mpls in the house the old guy said!
	4:59pm Cecile: right on!
	4:59pm Tome: Dylan born in Duluth ,, raised in Hibbing, Minnesota .. great stuff Fab and Dave .
	4:59pm dk: not from minneapolis, but right next door (st. paul): tod dockstader.
	4:59pm Cecile: No, that's not the case
	5:00pm Barney Grubbs: "The Cities"
	👻 5:00pm Rev. Turnip Druid: TOD!
	5:00pm dale: dom deluise
	5:00pm Cecile: Dom DeLuise.
	5:00pm Michael 98145: some folks from Frisco are too full of themselves
	5:00pm flashbazbo: Dylan was a freshman at the university in minn when Paul westerberg was born on 12 31 59.
	5:00pm TDK60: "The Big Apple"...who says that anymore?
	👻 5:00pm mrdonutsu: "San Fran", "Frisco", "The City By The Bay"...
	5:01pm TehBadDr: Was from ......
	5:01pm P-90: Fast, dale and Cecile
	5:01pm Marc15: Duluth
	5:01pm Barney Grubbs: The Twin Harbors!
	👻 5:02pm Rev. Turnip Druid: I have eaten the lasagna of Dom DeLuise. Let it be told.
	5:02pm Cecile: You can say the Cities. You just have to make sure when you are describing something you have the right city. Don't mix up Minneapolis with St.Paul.
	5:02pm jess: blazing saddles
	5:02pm Cecile: He did lost a lot of weight.
	5:02pm Carmichael: The city so nice they built another one right next to it.
	5:02pm Cecile: lose...
	5:02pm flashbazbo: Dylan saw buddy holly at the Duluth armory
	5:02pm dk: ... and instead of "hibbing" or "duluth", you can always just say "up north".
	👻 5:02pm Rev. Turnip Druid: It was 1988. The year of the Dom Lasagna.
	5:05pm Linda Lee: a vocation, not a hobby.
	5:05pm common: Fabio! yoos!
	5:06pm dale: wasn't he wearing a muumuu there for a while?
	👻 5:07pm mrdonutsu: Look what Fabio has in his locker! reverb.com...
	5:08pm dale: clay gets paid - but he's paid for the sleep deprivation.
	5:11pm Linda Lee: definite spacial quality ~ even online!
	5:16pm Lixiviated Life: i do have the feeling
	5:17pm TehBadDr: So when is this going to get weird/ Fabio usually delves into the, err, umm, unusual!
	5:18pm TDK60: That's sorta like Clay...odd tangents.
	5:22pm Michael 98145: people who actually work may still use lunchboxes ...
	5:22pm Linda Lee: i had a metal Beatles lunchbox in first grade! 65 or so.
	👻 5:22pm Rev. Turnip Druid: SPEED RACER lunchbox, here.
	5:22pm Rich in Washington: "Why are there no washing machine magnets?" <president of waning refrigerator magnet corporations, suddenly sitting upright>
	5:23pm Kat in Chicago: I was jealous of the girl I carpooled with in first grade who had a metal Beatles lunchbox. I think I had paper bags.
	5:23pm dale: i have the batman lunchbox. bonanza, welcome back kotter....they aren't worth that much anymore. ebay kind of killed that.
	👻 5:23pm Rev. Turnip Druid: SHOW YOUR PHYSICAL LOVE FOR WFMU.
	5:24pm Michael 98145: ( that sounded kinky, Rev :)
	5:24pm BronwynB: show your carnal desire for wfmu
	👻 5:24pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Also a prized possession was the BATTLE OF THE PLANETS lunchbox. That was the very last time I was ever groovy.
	5:25pm Linda Lee: don't feel bad Kat. paper bags were hipper.
	👻 5:25pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Fabio, seriously: when you got to 10, a phone rang here in THIS office.
	5:26pm Kat in Chicago: No they weren't LL but thanks for trying to console me :)
	5:26pm Kat in Chicago: I don't even remember Battle of the Planets but I just looked up images for that lunchbox. Groovy indeed!
	5:27pm Linda Lee: well, i thought so! i really did. the beatles lunchbox was not my idea.
	5:27pm dale: mike murcury and his supercar is my favorite. the welcome back kotter i found on a shelf in a brooklyn hardware store covered with dust, brand new back around 1985. the lady said it had been there so long that two dollars would be okay.
	5:27pm Linda Lee: plus, my working mother didn't realize you were meant to clean the thermos ..
	👻 5:27pm Bas NL: Clay on the phone?
	5:28pm Linda Lee: nice work dale!
	5:36pm Michael 98145: all hail, John Cale. only saw him live once.
	5:36pm V Priceless: Would love to hear that Cale interview! Great!
	5:37pm dk: oh god, i will never _ever_ tire of this song. chills. like, every. single. time.
	5:37pm Kat in Chicago: Dirty Thermos, ew.
	5:37pm Kat in Chicago: Me too dk
	5:37pm Michael 98145: [ img.discogs.com... ]
	👻 5:38pm Rev. Turnip Druid: @Kat: that was definitely the height of my lunchbox game. After that I descended into uncool territory with one from the TV show Emergency! (exclamation point being part of the name, not my emphasis... also a beat-me-up-after-school lunchbox, sadly)
	5:38pm common: just listened to this today. strange.
	5:39pm V Priceless: Was just thinking for next week’s show: Cale vs. Styx showdown! : )
	5:39pm common: and, emergency! was my favorite show as a tadpole, rev. Johnny gage and roy desoto!
	5:40pm northguineahills: @Michael: I saw him play live once as well, in the 1990s. He was playing pub rock. My friend heckled him, "bring out your viola!"
	👻 5:40pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Not familiar with this Cale tune. Like a much more intense Idle Race tune.
	5:40pm dk: that emergency! lunchbox was the opposite of uncool. i had that emergency! lunchbox.
	5:40pm Carmichael: Flintstones lunchbox for me, including the thermos.
	5:41pm dale: was julie loondon that lunchbox?
	5:41pm dale: london ON ....
	5:43pm dale: oh, i have the 70s tv show buck rogers, too.
	5:43pm Parq: See, there's my argument for WFMU right there. Where else can you find a community in which you can take for granted that most everyone around you is familiar with John Cale's "Paris 1919"? That's one of my favorite songs, and I can't imagine how I would ever have heard it if I had never been an FMU listener.
	5:43pm dk: she was on the lunchbox AND the thermos, i think. it was that cool.
	5:43pm dale: one of the collecting holy grails is buying the printed metal sheets that haven't been formed into the boxes yet.
	5:44pm TDK60: Did you know that Cale grew up speaking Welsh first? Now you do.
	5:45pm Marcel M: <3
	5:45pm Michael 98145: whoa, i -want- a Julie London lunchbox !
	5:45pm Linda Lee: i do too.
	5:46pm Michael 98145: how cool would that be? :)
	5:47pm Linda Lee: i'd wash the thermos too.
	5:48pm Michael 98145: with pleasure
	5:49pm northguineahills: Darn, I already have two copies of the original pressing of Cage/Tudor of Variations IV 1 & 2.
	5:49pm TDK60: Next Marathon..WFMU lunchbox?
	5:49pm Linda Lee: a dear friend was treasurer with cage's mycological group. invited to all the concerts! she adored him.
	5:52pm common: I want a stalker lunch box
	👻 5:52pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Artemiev is yay
	5:53pm Parq: TDK, I've got two. Regret to say they don't seem to be available in the swag store or the prize warehouse any more. Maybe they'll bring them back.
	5:53pm Michael 98145: i need to dig out my copy of Songs For Drella
	5:53pm Linda Lee: actually, Kat, John Cage ate his lunch out of paper bags. truth!
	5:54pm TDK60: Parq, didn't know there'd been WFMU boxes! I don't pay close enough attention to WFMU Swag History.
	5:55pm Carmichael: And Dirty Thermos is a great band name!
	👻 5:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: Some lunch box company should offer a generic lunch box assembly and then sell kits where you wrap the outside and the thermos with custom prints. You can be Star Wars on Monday and David Bowie on Tuesday, for example. Sort of like all those cool cell phone covers for Nokia phones about twenty years ago.
	5:56pm Michael 98145: my WFMU bottle opener is always with me
	👻 5:56pm Rev. Turnip Druid: th'WFMU lunchbox makes a perfect merch containment device for CDs at shows & whatnot. Always a good conversation starter.
	5:56pm Linda Lee: @Carmichael ~ i agree!
	5:56pm TDK60: Gotta miss the last few moments...thanks Fabio & Dave!
	5:57pm Carmichael: I have an FMU thumb drive, night light and bottle opener.
	👻 5:58pm chris: thanks, guys! and thank you, pledgers!
	6:00pm Parq: Rev. Turnup, exactly. Both of mine are filled with past marathon premium CDs.
	6:00pm Kat in Chicago: that bottle opener rules, it lives on my keychain
	👻 6:00pm Bas NL: Thanks Fabio, Dave!
	6:00pm Michael 98145: onward!
