	3:03pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Two seconds - I REALLY need the loo!
	3:03pm Mr Fab: love the graphics. i imagine that guy goes nuts at the Shriners' convention. In goes the manhattans, on goes the fez, and boom! Fun is his middle name.
	3:04pm spacebrother: Finally! A song for my plastic laminator. Or at least a group.
	3:04pm Otis Fodder: My caricature from the 1990s. Rev. Otis
	3:04pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Sheena's Jungle Room - Fun is our middle name!
	3:08pm spacebrother: Nice vibrato on that one. Unused Wes Anderson track?
	3:09pm DJ GeorgyGirl: God, I love The 5th Dimension. I mean REALLY love The 5th Dimension :-) I'm in a happy place :-)
	3:09pm Rich in Washington: I lost my Xerophonics CD.
	3:10pm Otis Fodder: The Magic Garden LP (Jimmy Webb!! pinned) is my all time-fav by the 5th!
	3:11pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Puppet Man is one of my favourite tracks of all time :-)
	3:14pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Mrs Dolenz?
	3:16pm Colin and Danie in Durham, England: This!
	3:17pm Otis Fodder: Probably! I think Samantha Juste just had one 7", both songs comped a few years back.
	3:17pm Colin and Danie in Durham, England: I love all you people
	3:17pm Rich in Washington: What a great album this is.
	3:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Mwah! :-)
	3:17pm Otis Fodder: Tracy was my 1983 go-to song to listen to in my bedroom becuase I would have been beat up if I played it on my boombox at age 14 in the schoolyard.
	3:19pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Yep - Samantha Juste was the first Mrs. Dolenz - "The being known as Wondergirl is speaking, I believe" :-) Gorgeous woman. Presented Top of the Pops :-)
	3:19pm Otis Fodder: Jeff Lynne and Marc Bolan on dual-gtrs. Thank you very much!
	3:20pm Otis Fodder: Oh wow, did not know that. So cool. I love that song by Samantha and of course, The Monkees.
	3:20pm Dutchman Jan: I didn't know they ever teamed up... what kind of ELO-fan am i...?
	3:21pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Wait ... Marc Bolan AND Elo??? WOW. That's fantastic :-)
	3:21pm Otis Fodder: Was included on a ELO 2 CD reissue in the early 2000s. Previously unreleased and should have been at least a b-side I'd say.
	3:22pm Dutchman Jan: nice transisition
	3:23pm Otis Fodder: Yep. I guess Roy Wood and Jeff Lynne and Marc Bolan all knew one another, from what I've read. Love those guys so much.
	3:24pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I have this vague memory of reading that John's Children supported The Move? That may be wishful thinking .. ;-)
	3:25pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Imagine the sheer CHAOS of that gig!!!
	3:25pm Mr Fab: Otis, the way you were with Tracy Ullman, i was with Salt n Pepa.
	3:25pm DJ GeorgyGirl: YES!!! Invite us over!!
	3:26pm Webhamster Henry: owada is good.
	3:26pm Otis Fodder: Oh, I was that way with Salt n Pepa... but I played them on my boombox. JJ Fad and L'Trimm, not so much.
	3:27pm Mr Fab: "We like the CAWS! The CAWS that go boom!" Heh, had that single. My friends just didn't understand.
	3:28pm Otis Fodder: Oh my, I had the 12" single.
	3:29pm Don-O: ...better than Disco Duck....
	3:29pm notsoKWYET: Cheers from Toronto.... FANTASTIC SHOW!
	3:30pm Mr Fab: Don-O! You are right about that.
	3:30pm Don-O: ....and September covered by Taylor Swift.....
	3:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Electrawoman and Dynagirl was my best friend's favourite show. He would have loved this :-)
	3:34pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I'm about to put the kettle on - does anyone want a cuppa?
	3:35pm Martinibomb: I just made some builders
	3:36pm Otis Fodder: Stove top french press coffee here and toast.
	3:37pm DJ GeorgyGirl: That's well posh, that is. :-)
	3:37pm Rich in Washington: It's about coffee'o'clock where I'm at, too. We went full-on French press years ago and can't go back.
	3:38pm Otis Fodder: So posh, ha! And the french press is a stainless steel one. Hello daily hotel continental breakfast action!
	3:38pm Webhamster Henry: Wild Man works hard!
	3:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Woah .... I just looked out the kitchen window and half of Brighton has disappeared. Super foggy out tonight.
	3:39pm Otis Fodder: Snowing in Montreal and getting dark soon... at 3:30pm
	3:40pm Rich in Washington: I love how Rosemary was touched by Larry's song Oh God Give Me a Kid, so did this song with him.
	3:40pm Otis Fodder: I love that too!
	3:41pm Rich in Washington: HA! I love this record!
	3:41pm Otis Fodder: Ha, yea, flashback to god, the late 80s/early 90s and playing this record to death with roommates.
	3:42pm Otis Fodder: and so so apropos
	3:43pm glenn: more cheers from snowy, slushy toronto.
	3:43pm Otis Fodder: It was either this or love is a cattle prod. Probably hit that on a future show.
	3:43pm Martinibomb: So goooood
	3:44pm Rich in Washington: I remember hearing their 'They're Not The World' on the radio a lot back in the day. Effing hilarious.
	3:45pm glenn: is it wrong that this is my favourite ween record?
	3:45pm grantbob: more Ween!
	3:45pm Otis Fodder: No way, this Ween album rules!
	3:45pm grantbob: no
	3:46pm Otis Fodder: sooooo brown
	3:48pm Otis Fodder: At any speed this cut sounds fantastic by the Osmonds.
	3:48pm Mark in Toronto: More greetings from Toronto. Love the show.
	3:48pm Rich in Washington: RAWK!
	3:49pm DJ GeorgyGirl: YES!!!!!!!!!!!
	3:49pm Dutchman Jan: Crazy Horses kept at number one for weeks and weeks and weeks...
	3:49pm Don-O: Is this an outtake from The Book Of Mormon?!?!?!
	3:49pm Dutchman Jan: bought the single twice. Sat on the first copy by accident
	3:50pm Otis Fodder: There is a really cool version of Crazy Horses in a James Last medley. Need to find that again on vinyl.
	3:50pm Otis Fodder: If you have the single you can play it at 33rpm!!!
	3:50pm Dutchman Jan: first single I ever purchased as a kid
	3:50pm Rich in Washington: RAAAWWW!
	3:50pm Dutchman Jan: Do you know the Top of The Pops version?
	3:51pm Otis Fodder: Oh no, but need to search that one now!
	3:51pm Dutchman Jan: they just couldn't get the elecctric horse sound right....
	3:51pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I've been LOVING your Top of the Pops shows, Jan :-)
	3:52pm Dutchman Jan: I think I played it on my last VG-show
	3:52pm Otis Fodder: I'll listen this weekend, thanks Jan!
	3:52pm Dutchman Jan: I'm preparing a third one as we speak
	3:53pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Yay!!
	3:53pm glenn: oh dear.
	3:56pm Webhamster Henry: This could be someone's theme song here.
	3:56pm Don-O: ....but is THIS art?!?!
	3:57pm Otis Fodder: Haaaaaaaaaaaa
	3:57pm Mr Fab: You all should check out the new shooby Taylor comps that Irwin from WFMU put up on bandcamp. I added a bunch to the Stream
	3:57pm Dutchman Jan: I don't now, let's just relase it, said the man with the sigar
	3:58pm glenn: to be honest, i'd rather drink my own blood than listen to shooby taylor.
	3:58pm Otis Fodder: Shooby on Bandcamp: cosmicspy.bandcamp.com... cosmicspy.bandcamp.com...
	3:59pm Otis Fodder: I think there is a Shooby song about that, need to play it in reverse.
	4:00pm Rich in Washington: Shooby's Over the Rainbow has been the closing music for my KBOO show for many years. I was vaguely aware of Irwin's dredging up more tunes but it sort of slipped me by. I should check it out.
	4:00pm Otis Fodder: We're diabetic but we're not so different from the rest of YOU?! blog.wfmu.org...
	4:02pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Still here - just crocheting at the moment so hands full! :-)
	4:03pm Rich in Washington: You can do it Otis!
	4:03pm ?: I'm tired just listening.
	4:04pm Otis Fodder: Just another hour to go...
	4:05pm Welsh Rarebit: We’re so middle of the road right now that we’re swerving oncoming traffic.
	4:06pm Otis Fodder: We are okay now, are on our Caribean Honeymoon. Thanks to Nervous Neil Smith for compiling the work of David Saelens, a 90s Florida musician who I know next to nothing about, but the music!
	4:06pm Mr Fab: Glen, you can do both, you know. now we got ourselves a party!
	4:07pm Otis Fodder: Alain Goraguer (La Planète Sauvage) and his somewhat-close-to-version of Hot Blood's Soul Dracula.
	4:08pm Rich in Washington: Didn't someone just release a Goraguer soundtrack to a porno movie, or did I just dream that?
	4:09pm Welsh Rarebit: Sexy vampire = less Klaus Kinski in nosferatu and more Tom Cruise in interview with the vampire?
	4:09pm Rich in Washington: This is fantastic! I'm only familiar with the Fantastic Planet soundtrack.
	4:09pm Otis Fodder: No you did not. I saw that too! WANT.
	4:10pm Otis Fodder: Schlager version of Hot Blood's Soul Dracula by Frederik.
	4:10pm Rich in Washington: Not just WANT. NEED.
	4:11pm Rich in Washington: Oh. It's Musique Classée X on Les Disques de Culte ‎
	4:11pm Otis Fodder: Thanks for the reminder Rich. Going to look up/bookmark.
	4:12pm Rich in Washington: ru roh. Stream crashed on my end. It's all that talk about filthy film soundtracks.
	4:13pm Otis Fodder: Or could have been The filthy Van Man!
	4:15pm Rich in Washington: I've wanted this ever since hearing it on Dick Vaugn's Moribund Music of the 70s.
	4:15pm Otis Fodder: Trunk Records reissued Bob Chance.
	4:16pm Mr Fab: Stream still screaming at my end, thank God-zilla! I forbid the stream to crash during the van man!
	4:16pm Don-O: Ah, I just missed the whiff of the Van Man!!
	4:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Stream still good here
	4:17pm spacebrother: Haven't heard this Neil Young in years. Sounds like a DEVO influence.
	4:17pm Otis Fodder: I love so many periods of Neil Young, especially Trans.
	4:18pm Rich in Washington: Bless Jonny Trunk!
	4:18pm Rich in Washington: It's here in my office. Some kind of web interruption.
	4:18pm spacebrother: ...meaning I know there was quite a bit of collaboration between them during the "Human Highway" period.
	4:19pm Welsh Rarebit: Could never tell if this record was legitimately something Neil wanted to make or if he did it so his record label would dump him. I think in the long run it’s alright, but I imagine at the time a lot of people would have thought WTF?
	4:19pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I'm gonna transfer to the tablet and armchair combo, so still listening but may go chat quiet for a bit :-)
	4:20pm Mr Fab: I thought Kraftwerk was the inspiration for Trans. but I could just be making that up.
	4:22pm Otis Fodder: It has something to do with his son and the vocoder, but have to look up the story again. It's an interesting back story from what I recall. I love the whole album. And I also love NY solo and CSNY.
	4:23pm Welsh Rarebit: “Young started playing with two new machines he had acquired, a Synclavier and a vocoder. Crazy Horse guitarist Poncho Sampedro recalled, "Next thing we knew, Neil stripped all our music off, overdubbed all this stuff, the vocoder, weird sequencing, and put the synth shit on it."”
	4:23pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I'm in the chair and on the tablet! Comfortable now
	4:23pm Welsh Rarebit: Yeah, Wikipedia says something about Neil’s son having cerebral palsy and it was to do with therapy related to that.
	4:24pm Don-O: That's it. I might end up redoing next weeks show and sneaking in ELO! Hell, I might play 'Beatles Forever'!!
	4:24pm spacebrother: Metamorpho? The unknown superhero?
	4:25pm Otis Fodder: Thanks Welsh Rarebit for the info.
	4:25pm spacebrother: Yeah!
	4:25pm Otis Fodder: Yessssssssss.
	4:26pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Do it!
	4:26pm Webhamster Henry: A Metamorpho movie could be really good, actually.
	4:28pm Webhamster Henry: Hey the "Bathtubs over Broadway" documentary just got distribution from FOCUS films.
	4:29pm grantbob: yeah!
	4:29pm Don-O: Otis, do you have a copy of Marvel superhero radio show with Bill Maurry as one of the Fantastic 4?
	4:30pm spacebrother: "The man who stands behind the man who works the harvest machine."
	4:30pm Otis Fodder: No Don, but would love to hear.
	4:30pm Otis Fodder: Yes the doc is fantastic, caught it at Hot Docs in Toronto this summer, www.bathtubsoverbroadway.com
	4:30pm Rich in Washington: I think this guy's bipolar.
	4:31pm Otis Fodder: And I'll drop a link for the book too! www.industrialmusicals.com
	4:31pm Otis Fodder: Team Spirit!!
	4:31pm Rich in Washington: I've heard that, Don-O. It's craptacular!
	4:32pm Otis Fodder: Everything in this song now, Kitty in a Basket, this is what Otis is all about.
	4:32pm Rich in Washington: This song is adorable!
	4:33pm Webhamster Henry: I like the production values!
	4:33pm Betsy O: Wow, I used to cut gears for Massey Ferguson at my Dad’s tool and die shop in Detroit many years ago!
	4:33pm Otis Fodder: I caught myself humming it while grocery shopping this week.
	4:34pm Webhamster Henry: Some how I knew Patience and Prudence were next - Although I though t it would be A Smile and A Ribbon.
	4:35pm Otis Fodder: That's a gem too!
	4:36pm Webhamster Henry: I'm getting a feel for the Friendly Persuasion Segues.
	4:36pm Archivist Vivian: Oi, mate. I'm here.
	4:37pm Archivist Vivian: Glad to be here!
	4:38pm Welsh Rarebit: I like the sound of this.
	4:38pm Webhamster Henry: Suspiciously like Steinski's Ralphie's Bop City.
	4:38pm Archivist Vivian: I was browsing 365 Days to find stuff to put on Youtube, I'm glad I caught this!
	4:38pm Webhamster Henry: ralphiesbopcity.com
	4:39pm Otis Fodder: Holy Tire Iron tapes on Discogs, www.discogs.com... Holy Tire Iron was a 90s audio zine project by Reverend Raye, from West Somerville, Massachusetts. One would call the phone number and listen to the stories that others had left on the machine. It was not a 900 service, so if you were outside of the Boston area you had to pay for long distance phone charges. There was no advertising, the 'message changed every day,' and was made up of what callers called in. It was active for a number of years in the early-mid 1990s. The motto was "Inspiration is only a phone call away" and Raye called it free public media and added "Would you like fries with your art?"
	4:40pm Archivist Vivian: I feel like I'm hearing something I'm not supposed to be hearing.
	4:40pm Otis Fodder: Whoa! I didn't know about Ralphie's Bop City. More listening for this weekend, thanks Henry!
	4:41pm Otis Fodder: Hi Viv! Hey everyone, Vivian here did that amazing cover of Mr Snuggles you may have heard on the 1st show!
	4:42pm Archivist Vivian: Ahhh, many thanks, Otis! Dr. Airlines loves Dr. Love!
	4:43pm Archivist Vivian: I just uploaded The Wind Between My Wings by "Cedar Point Jim" to YouTube. It's a piece of work.
	4:44pm spacebrother: There used to be an anonymous "confession line" which resulted in a zine called "Confession" I think. They printed the best messages in each issue.
	4:46pm Archivist Vivian: Weird Al Yankovic and a friend of his operated an anonymous joke hotline in Downey CA in the mid 70s called the Zygot line.
	4:47pm Archivist Vivian: There's a tape posted on Youtube from that line of Al and his friend, Mike Solton, performing a parody of Randy Newman's "Short People", calling it "Zyg Callers", about the people who called in.
	4:47pm Otis Fodder: I have 7 90min tapes of Holy Tire Iron. Going to stretch out recordings on future shows in small bits.
	4:47pm Archivist Vivian: The more I listen, the more I want to keep listening.
	4:48pm OliverrrLewisss: A+ !
	4:48pm Otis Fodder: I love all the info in the chat comments. Going to go back and revisit the comments after for quite a bit of discovery!
	4:48pm Otis Fodder: Hey Oliver! Hey all, Oliver will be guesting on the show next week playing.... ???
	4:49pm spacebrother: I may have called that joke line when I was a little kid. There was a Nazi party number in San Diego too that I should have recorded. We used to call it and laugh and marvel.
	4:50pm Archivist Vivian: Unrelated to what we are listening to, Otis. But I am trying to obtain more Mar-Tie recordings. I contacted this guy who has three but he's a college teacher and was too busy last time I asked. I actually sampled Mar-Tie on an upcoming project I'm doing.
	4:50pm spacebrother: Never heard of the Tire Iron. Great stuff, Otis!
	4:50pm Archivist Vivian: That's very possible, it was very popular. Apparently it shut down because it got too much traction, I think? I forget.
	4:51pm Otis Fodder: Only found a couple of mentions online in zines, like SO WHAT a zine by Rev Groovy G (obsessed with the number 23 in his zine). The tapes I have were in my old cassette tape catalog.
	4:51pm Webhamster Henry: Yeah, the confession line!
	4:52pm Otis Fodder: Viv, did you contact BC Sterrett? I helped release those with BC and his friends years ago on Comfort Stand. Check with BC as he would know more.
	4:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thoroughly enjoying all of this
	4:52pm spacebrother: I remember "So What." I might still have a couple around somewhere.
	4:53pm Otis Fodder: I was going to play the old FMU Catalog tape, Apology Line. But oh mannn, is it heavy. So put that in a box for maybe a future show.
	4:53pm Archivist Vivian: I haven't, but that's a good idea. Mar-Tie is very fascinating. I have a friend who lives in Provo and I had to tell her all about him.
	4:53pm Otis Fodder: I love that you remember that zine. :)
	4:54pm Webhamster Henry: I used to produce answering machine messages on my 4track and NeXT; every year I'd make an outgoing message out of messages left on the machine. Nowadays, telephony s mostly junk phone calls.
	4:54pm spacebrother: :)
	4:55pm Otis Fodder: I have 3 guest shows coming up over the next, 3 weeks. Guests will play most everything but if there is any filler time, I have this Holy Tire Iron tape here to continue and fill in space.
	4:55pm Archivist Vivian: There's some pretty groovy people speaking on this Holy Tire Iron tape. I'm really into this.
	4:56pm OliverrrLewisss: Ehehe, looking forward to joining you on the waves, cheers Otis ! All this talk of call-in tapes has got me wondering if anyone at the Montreal Mirror ever kept any of the 'Rant Line' call-in tapes . . .
	4:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: God. I just went to the Comfort Stand website. There's some names there that bring back memories ...
	4:56pm Otis Fodder: I love this and what I love more, is I haven't listened to these tapes in almost 2 decades. It's all new and fresh. Pretty sure I called in, just can't remember if I'm on one of these tapes. Maybe, I hope I find myself and if I do, I'll say OMG it's MEEEE!
	4:56pm spacebrother: Oh man, my wife has the same first initial and surname as "Slash" from Guns and Roses. She used to collect all sorts of crazy messages left on her machine by people who thought that Slash had actually slipped up and gotten his name in the phone book. I'll bug her again and see if we can find it.
	4:57pm Otis Fodder: That was a fun net label project from 2003-2006. So many friends on there.
	4:57pm spacebrother: I loved Comfortstand. Still do.
	4:58pm Archivist Vivian: This exchange is like an internet argument, but more polite.
	4:58pm Archivist Vivian: We need more Mar-Tie. I'll forever thank Comfortstand for giving him to us.
	4:59pm Otis Fodder: I guess they called in together on 2 phones in the same home. This is 1994.
	5:01pm Archivist Vivian: I must know more of the legend of Soulmate Girl. Too bad we'll never know.
	5:02pm Rich in Washington: weird. I can read the ongoing comments on my work computer, but can't comment, except from my phone via the wfmu app.
	5:03pm RiW: can only listen on my phone, too. big network outtage here at work.
	5:05pm Otis Fodder: I'm going to continue to play these tapes, in order from this one (vol 8) and then start at the early ones, so hopefully we find out together about Soulmate Girl and others. I will not listen before I play them. That's more fun.
	5:05pm Webhamster Henry: I used to produce the FMU Catalog (Chris T was the master curator). Other big tape was the Shemp Meditation tape
	5:05pm RiW: wasn't Phineas Narco's Midnight Voicejail something like that?
	5:06pm Otis Fodder: You did!?! That was my intro to WFMU. The catalog, in like 1995 or 1996.
	5:06pm Archivist Vivian: This will be a great journey.
	5:06pm Webhamster Henry: Now I can sing along to A Smile And a Ribbon.
	5:06pm Archivist Vivian: Oh, hey. I think my mate Joe Aufricht called in to Bob Larson's show.
	5:07pm Webhamster Henry: The Catalog was printed, available as gopher, web, and via email infobot.
	5:07pm Archivist Vivian: I'm sure some of you know who he is, with his spoken word tapes and Rejuvination zines.
	5:08pm Archivist Vivian: My bandmate showed him to me, audio of him is on 365 days.
	5:09pm Otis Fodder: Thank you for listening to the phone calling portion of today's program. Will need to do this much much more in the future.
	5:09pm Don-O: I just got back from a walk and I heard a screaming guy on AM radio. Must be prank call portion of the show.
	5:10pm Otis Fodder: Where is Anton Maiden... at this moment... today.
	5:10pm Archivist Vivian: Anton Maiden is dead. :(
	5:10pm Mr Fab: he was saying"Baal"? Thought he was a Subgenius saying he worshiped 'Bob.'
	5:10pm Don-O: ...oops, it's the 666 portion of the show. Is Fire On High coming up?
	5:12pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I thought he was saying Bob as well!! I genuinely thought it was a subgenus thing. Great minds etc.
	5:12pm Otis Fodder: I am sure the caller had his rev card in his wallet. Praise Bob!
	5:14pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I need some Bob stickers in my studio. Used to have a ton of them. Happy times.
	5:15pm spacebrother: Original SubG member. I am in the second book as "Anomalous Phenomena."
	5:15pm Archivist Vivian: The best Christian-related organ material is The Handless Organist record.
	5:15pm Mr Fab: thx for reminding me about the Shemp tapes, Henry - will edit them into the stream pronto, bwa ha ha!
	5:15pm spacebrother: There was ANOTHER Christian Astronaut album?
	5:16pm Archivist Vivian: Children Of Sunshine! <3
	5:16pm Don-O: SubGenius Member....I mean, Minister for the past year and a half and counting!
	5:16pm spacebrother: Maybe I didn't rip that track on my itunes.
	5:16pm Archivist Vivian: I sang "Dandelions" to a girl I was briefly going out with in September. Had to learn to play that one on guitar.
	5:17pm Don-O: The happiest 'We're Doomed!" song I've heard so far.....
	5:17pm Otis Fodder: REV OTIS since the late 80s, devivals and hour of slack show appearances and fond memories of many years ago.
	5:17pm Archivist Vivian: I hope that the radio appearance of Tres & Kitsy get found one day, but I'm not holding my breath.
	5:17pm Otis Fodder: I love the Dandelions album.
	5:18pm Archivist Vivian: It's a magic experience. Needs a re-release.
	5:19pm Webhamster Henry: At some point I'll put up a server with pieces of the 1998 version of the WFMU website.
	5:19pm Otis Fodder: I've been waiting patiently for a reissue. Hopefully one day. For now I have mp3s to keep me happy. It's a gem.
	5:19pm Mr Fab: What's the second book, spacebrother? I bought "The Book of Subgenius" and "Three Fisted Tales" back in the day.
	5:19pm Otis Fodder: REV X
	5:19pm Don-O: I do remember the night you did OTE with Eat This and you slid into the Puzzling Evidence show after wards. Too bad I wasn't physically there....
	5:19pm Webhamster Henry: Shemp & Shooby : the sound of WFMU!
	5:20pm Don-O: Revelation X was the 2nd book, I guess.
	5:20pm Archivist Vivian: This is groooooooooooovy.
	5:20pm Don-O: Ah, Stereolab solo project!!!!
	5:21pm Otis Fodder: That was OTE 1998, with Phineas Narco and dAS (Big City Orchestra). When on with PE and Hal after on KPFA. Day after we played a live show in Oakland with dAS playing a popcorn popping machine and fed the audience. Eat THIS! The eaters must have slack.
	5:22pm Otis Fodder: Yes!! Tim Gane's Cavern of Anti-Matter. I almost cued up Neu after... another show.
	5:23pm Webhamster Henry: Yeah Mr. Fab, there's lots to throw in the Jungle Room Mix! Like SHUT UP LITTLE MAN!
	5:23pm Don-O: So, what came first: Puzzling Evidence the Sub-Genius or the True Stories version.
	5:24pm spacebrother: I was also lucky enough to appear on "More than an Hour, Less Than A Show" with Hal Robins and Doug "Puzzling Evidence" Wellman a few times. I guess in the early 1990s. Do you have any recordings of your shows?
	5:24pm Archivist Vivian: Otis. I am curating from my archive of songs from a musician you may not know about and I'm gonna send you a ZIP folder later. You're going to really enjoy it.
	5:24pm Otis Fodder: Oh god, I used to have tapes and the best-of CD of Raymond & Peter. We need Shut Up Little Man added to the stream for sure. The documentary is great too!!
	5:24pm Otis Fodder: Thanks Viv!!!
	5:26pm Otis Fodder: I know a couple are on archive.org OTE archive. Hour of Slack shows on KPFA, I don't have any. I used to send Doug & Hal tapes from 1993-1997 that I made of early Bran Flakes and other odd material. Would send tapes to Don too for OTE. Really great memories.
	5:27pm Webhamster Henry: I think Shut Up Little Man was made into stage show, if not a musical .
	5:28pm Mr Fab: Pretty sure I added a DEVO (dba "The Wipeouters") song into the stream that sampled Shut Up Little Man, but yeah, gotta dig into the source material.
	5:29pm spacebrother: Ah, Marty.
	5:29pm Don-O: Phinias Narco did a couple of sets of the best of P. E. one from each decade, 80's and 90's. Here's one of them: nationalcynical.bandcamp.com...
	5:30pm Mr Fab: When will the hip-oisie discover Marty Robbins, the way they did with Johnny Cash? Lotta great records outta that man.
	5:31pm Webhamster Henry: I Died Today.
	5:33pm Webhamster Henry: Pullin' a Stetson over those pointy ears.
	5:35pm RiW: that Omni Corporation comp Troubled Troubadours needs to be reissued.
	5:36pm Don-O: Bev Bevan!!!!
	5:38pm Mr Fab: don't know "Troubled Troubadours" but I got a comp last year called "Hillbillys in Hell" that's quite good.
	5:38pm Matt_E: Hate to say it but I haven't listened to FMU's actual broadcast since I found this stream a few weeks ago. I'm loving it, Otis!
	5:39pm Otis Fodder: Shucks, thanks Matt!
	5:40pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Love this album!
	5:41pm Mr Fab: So YOU'RE the one, Matt E! Naw, seriously, so glad to hear that.
	5:41pm Don-O: Oh, Leonard Nimoy Jr.
	5:42pm Don-O: .....one of us, one of us..
	5:43pm RiW: I loved seeing John Hartford (sic?) performing this song live on David Letterman's fake summer show
	5:43pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Outstanding show, Otis!! Thank you, sweetie :-)
	5:43pm Archivist Vivian: I remember Telly's foray into music but never actually looked into it.
	5:44pm RiW: thanks, Otis! wonderful show!
	5:44pm Otis Fodder: This 10min "O Perce" cut is from the soundtrack to a "maple syrup" softcore film, "Y'a Plus De Trou À Percé " from 1971. This is the English version of the album, "Loving and Laughing" www.discogs.com...
	5:44pm Archivist Vivian: This has been great fun.
	5:48pm spacebrother: Good show, sir.
	5:53pm Webhamster Henry: It sounds like Love on a Swingle.
	5:54pm Mr Fab: Damn, i was too young for the 'sexual revolution.' Musta been fun: a custom van, waterbeds, saying stuff like 'Your place or mine'?
	5:57pm Archivist Vivian: Three Finger Joe. I'll keep my comments to myself.
	5:57pm Webhamster Henry: Adjust the focus! www.youtube.com...
	5:58pm grantbob: Thanks Otis!
	5:58pm Mr Fab: SPECTACULAR show Otis. Stay tuned for the mad, mad, mad, mad Hour of Crap
	5:58pm Otis Fodder: Thanks all. Stay tuned for The Hour of Crap with Don-O next up! www.wfmu.org...
	5:58pm Martinibomb: Excellent show today!
	6:00pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks Jungle roomies! An all phone-in tape show would be good. Who knows, maybe you can find airchecks of WFMU's telephone Jam.

	2:49pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I'm in two places at once!!! ;-)
	2:54pm Otis Fodder: Me too!
	2:55pm Otis Fodder: If you are coming into the chat from GeorgyGirl's fantastic show this week, I hope I bring you in with some melodic pop pieces followed by quite a few apologies in advance. ;)
	3:00pm Otis Fodder: Our Facebook Club, www.facebook.com...
	3:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hello! :-)
	3:01pm Rich in Washington: OTIS!
	3:01pm Martinibomb: Plastic laminator.. p l a s t i c. L a m i n a t or — yo! Check it PLASTIC LAMINATOR
	3:02pm DJ GeorgyGirl: And we're off - in style! :-)
	3:03pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Two seconds - I REALLY need the loo!
	3:03pm Mr Fab: love the graphics. i imagine that guy goes nuts at the Shriners' convention. In goes the manhattans, on goes the fez, and boom! Fun is his middle name.
	3:04pm spacebrother: Finally! A song for my plastic laminator. Or at least a group.
	3:04pm Otis Fodder: My caricature from the 1990s. Rev. Otis
	3:04pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Sheena's Jungle Room - Fun is our middle name!
	3:08pm spacebrother: Nice vibrato on that one. Unused Wes Anderson track?
	3:09pm DJ GeorgyGirl: God, I love The 5th Dimension. I mean REALLY love The 5th Dimension :-) I'm in a happy place :-)
	3:09pm Rich in Washington: I lost my Xerophonics CD.
	3:10pm Otis Fodder: The Magic Garden LP (Jimmy Webb!! pinned) is my all time-fav by the 5th!
	3:11pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Puppet Man is one of my favourite tracks of all time :-)
	3:14pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Mrs Dolenz?
	3:16pm Colin and Danie in Durham, England: This!
	3:17pm Otis Fodder: Probably! I think Samantha Juste just had one 7", both songs comped a few years back.
	3:17pm Colin and Danie in Durham, England: I love all you people
	3:17pm Rich in Washington: What a great album this is.
	3:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Mwah! :-)
	3:17pm Otis Fodder: Tracy was my 1983 go-to song to listen to in my bedroom becuase I would have been beat up if I played it on my boombox at age 14 in the schoolyard.
	3:19pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Yep - Samantha Juste was the first Mrs. Dolenz - "The being known as Wondergirl is speaking, I believe" :-) Gorgeous woman. Presented Top of the Pops :-)
	3:19pm Otis Fodder: Jeff Lynne and Marc Bolan on dual-gtrs. Thank you very much!
	3:20pm Otis Fodder: Oh wow, did not know that. So cool. I love that song by Samantha and of course, The Monkees.
	3:20pm Dutchman Jan: I didn't know they ever teamed up... what kind of ELO-fan am i...?
	3:21pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Wait ... Marc Bolan AND Elo??? WOW. That's fantastic :-)
	3:21pm Otis Fodder: Was included on a ELO 2 CD reissue in the early 2000s. Previously unreleased and should have been at least a b-side I'd say.
	3:22pm Dutchman Jan: nice transisition
	3:23pm Otis Fodder: Yep. I guess Roy Wood and Jeff Lynne and Marc Bolan all knew one another, from what I've read. Love those guys so much.
	3:24pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I have this vague memory of reading that John's Children supported The Move? That may be wishful thinking .. ;-)
	3:25pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Imagine the sheer CHAOS of that gig!!!
	3:25pm Mr Fab: Otis, the way you were with Tracy Ullman, i was with Salt n Pepa.
	3:25pm DJ GeorgyGirl: YES!!! Invite us over!!
	3:26pm Webhamster Henry: owada is good.
	3:26pm Otis Fodder: Oh, I was that way with Salt n Pepa... but I played them on my boombox. JJ Fad and L'Trimm, not so much.
	3:27pm Mr Fab: "We like the CAWS! The CAWS that go boom!" Heh, had that single. My friends just didn't understand.
	3:28pm Otis Fodder: Oh my, I had the 12" single.
	3:29pm Don-O: ...better than Disco Duck....
	3:29pm notsoKWYET: Cheers from Toronto.... FANTASTIC SHOW!
	3:30pm Mr Fab: Don-O! You are right about that.
	3:30pm Don-O: ....and September covered by Taylor Swift.....
	3:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Electrawoman and Dynagirl was my best friend's favourite show. He would have loved this :-)
	3:34pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I'm about to put the kettle on - does anyone want a cuppa?
	3:35pm Martinibomb: I just made some builders
	3:36pm Otis Fodder: Stove top french press coffee here and toast.
	3:37pm DJ GeorgyGirl: That's well posh, that is. :-)
	3:37pm Rich in Washington: It's about coffee'o'clock where I'm at, too. We went full-on French press years ago and can't go back.
	3:38pm Otis Fodder: So posh, ha! And the french press is a stainless steel one. Hello daily hotel continental breakfast action!
	3:38pm Webhamster Henry: Wild Man works hard!
	3:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Woah .... I just looked out the kitchen window and half of Brighton has disappeared. Super foggy out tonight.
	3:39pm Otis Fodder: Snowing in Montreal and getting dark soon... at 3:30pm
	3:40pm Rich in Washington: I love how Rosemary was touched by Larry's song Oh God Give Me a Kid, so did this song with him.
	3:40pm Otis Fodder: I love that too!
	3:41pm Rich in Washington: HA! I love this record!
	3:41pm Otis Fodder: Ha, yea, flashback to god, the late 80s/early 90s and playing this record to death with roommates.
	3:42pm Otis Fodder: and so so apropos
	3:43pm glenn: more cheers from snowy, slushy toronto.
	3:43pm Otis Fodder: It was either this or love is a cattle prod. Probably hit that on a future show.
	3:43pm Martinibomb: So goooood
	3:44pm Rich in Washington: I remember hearing their 'They're Not The World' on the radio a lot back in the day. Effing hilarious.
	3:45pm glenn: is it wrong that this is my favourite ween record?
	3:45pm grantbob: more Ween!
	3:45pm Otis Fodder: No way, this Ween album rules!
	3:45pm grantbob: no
	3:46pm Otis Fodder: sooooo brown
	3:48pm Otis Fodder: At any speed this cut sounds fantastic by the Osmonds.
	3:48pm Mark in Toronto: More greetings from Toronto. Love the show.
	3:48pm Rich in Washington: RAWK!
	3:49pm DJ GeorgyGirl: YES!!!!!!!!!!!
	3:49pm Dutchman Jan: Crazy Horses kept at number one for weeks and weeks and weeks...
	3:49pm Don-O: Is this an outtake from The Book Of Mormon?!?!?!
	3:49pm Dutchman Jan: bought the single twice. Sat on the first copy by accident
	3:50pm Otis Fodder: There is a really cool version of Crazy Horses in a James Last medley. Need to find that again on vinyl.
	3:50pm Otis Fodder: If you have the single you can play it at 33rpm!!!
	3:50pm Dutchman Jan: first single I ever purchased as a kid
	3:50pm Rich in Washington: RAAAWWW!
	3:50pm Dutchman Jan: Do you know the Top of The Pops version?
	3:51pm Otis Fodder: Oh no, but need to search that one now!
	3:51pm Dutchman Jan: they just couldn't get the elecctric horse sound right....
	3:51pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I've been LOVING your Top of the Pops shows, Jan :-)
	3:52pm Dutchman Jan: I think I played it on my last VG-show
	3:52pm Otis Fodder: I'll listen this weekend, thanks Jan!
	3:52pm Dutchman Jan: I'm preparing a third one as we speak
	3:53pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Yay!!
	3:53pm glenn: oh dear.
	3:56pm Webhamster Henry: This could be someone's theme song here.
	3:56pm Don-O: ....but is THIS art?!?!
	3:57pm Otis Fodder: Haaaaaaaaaaaa
	3:57pm Mr Fab: You all should check out the new shooby Taylor comps that Irwin from WFMU put up on bandcamp. I added a bunch to the Stream
	3:57pm Dutchman Jan: I don't now, let's just relase it, said the man with the sigar
	3:58pm glenn: to be honest, i'd rather drink my own blood than listen to shooby taylor.
	3:58pm Otis Fodder: Shooby on Bandcamp: cosmicspy.bandcamp.com... cosmicspy.bandcamp.com...
	3:59pm Otis Fodder: I think there is a Shooby song about that, need to play it in reverse.
	4:00pm Rich in Washington: Shooby's Over the Rainbow has been the closing music for my KBOO show for many years. I was vaguely aware of Irwin's dredging up more tunes but it sort of slipped me by. I should check it out.
	4:00pm Otis Fodder: We're diabetic but we're not so different from the rest of YOU?! blog.wfmu.org...
	4:02pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Still here - just crocheting at the moment so hands full! :-)
	4:03pm Rich in Washington: You can do it Otis!
	4:03pm ?: I'm tired just listening.
	4:04pm Otis Fodder: Just another hour to go...
	4:05pm Welsh Rarebit: We’re so middle of the road right now that we’re swerving oncoming traffic.
	4:06pm Otis Fodder: We are okay now, are on our Caribean Honeymoon. Thanks to Nervous Neil Smith for compiling the work of David Saelens, a 90s Florida musician who I know next to nothing about, but the music!
	4:06pm Mr Fab: Glen, you can do both, you know. now we got ourselves a party!
	4:07pm Otis Fodder: Alain Goraguer (La Planète Sauvage) and his somewhat-close-to-version of Hot Blood's Soul Dracula.
	4:08pm Rich in Washington: Didn't someone just release a Goraguer soundtrack to a porno movie, or did I just dream that?
	4:09pm Welsh Rarebit: Sexy vampire = less Klaus Kinski in nosferatu and more Tom Cruise in interview with the vampire?
	4:09pm Rich in Washington: This is fantastic! I'm only familiar with the Fantastic Planet soundtrack.
	4:09pm Otis Fodder: No you did not. I saw that too! WANT.
	4:10pm Otis Fodder: Schlager version of Hot Blood's Soul Dracula by Frederik.
	4:10pm Rich in Washington: Not just WANT. NEED.
	4:11pm Rich in Washington: Oh. It's Musique Classée X on Les Disques de Culte ‎
	4:11pm Otis Fodder: Thanks for the reminder Rich. Going to look up/bookmark.
	4:12pm Rich in Washington: ru roh. Stream crashed on my end. It's all that talk about filthy film soundtracks.
	4:13pm Otis Fodder: Or could have been The filthy Van Man!
	4:15pm Rich in Washington: I've wanted this ever since hearing it on Dick Vaugn's Moribund Music of the 70s.
	4:15pm Otis Fodder: Trunk Records reissued Bob Chance.
	4:16pm Mr Fab: Stream still screaming at my end, thank God-zilla! I forbid the stream to crash during the van man!
	4:16pm Don-O: Ah, I just missed the whiff of the Van Man!!
	4:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Stream still good here
	4:17pm spacebrother: Haven't heard this Neil Young in years. Sounds like a DEVO influence.
	4:17pm Otis Fodder: I love so many periods of Neil Young, especially Trans.
	4:18pm Rich in Washington: Bless Jonny Trunk!
	4:18pm Rich in Washington: It's here in my office. Some kind of web interruption.
	4:18pm spacebrother: ...meaning I know there was quite a bit of collaboration between them during the "Human Highway" period.
	4:19pm Welsh Rarebit: Could never tell if this record was legitimately something Neil wanted to make or if he did it so his record label would dump him. I think in the long run it’s alright, but I imagine at the time a lot of people would have thought WTF?
	4:19pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I'm gonna transfer to the tablet and armchair combo, so still listening but may go chat quiet for a bit :-)
	4:20pm Mr Fab: I thought Kraftwerk was the inspiration for Trans. but I could just be making that up.
	4:22pm Otis Fodder: It has something to do with his son and the vocoder, but have to look up the story again. It's an interesting back story from what I recall. I love the whole album. And I also love NY solo and CSNY.
	4:23pm Welsh Rarebit: “Young started playing with two new machines he had acquired, a Synclavier and a vocoder. Crazy Horse guitarist Poncho Sampedro recalled, "Next thing we knew, Neil stripped all our music off, overdubbed all this stuff, the vocoder, weird sequencing, and put the synth shit on it."”
	4:23pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I'm in the chair and on the tablet! Comfortable now
	4:23pm Welsh Rarebit: Yeah, Wikipedia says something about Neil’s son having cerebral palsy and it was to do with therapy related to that.
	4:24pm Don-O: That's it. I might end up redoing next weeks show and sneaking in ELO! Hell, I might play 'Beatles Forever'!!
	4:24pm spacebrother: Metamorpho? The unknown superhero?
	4:25pm Otis Fodder: Thanks Welsh Rarebit for the info.
	4:25pm spacebrother: Yeah!
	4:25pm Otis Fodder: Yessssssssss.
	4:26pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Do it!
	4:26pm Webhamster Henry: A Metamorpho movie could be really good, actually.
	4:28pm Webhamster Henry: Hey the "Bathtubs over Broadway" documentary just got distribution from FOCUS films.
	4:29pm grantbob: yeah!
	4:29pm Don-O: Otis, do you have a copy of Marvel superhero radio show with Bill Maurry as one of the Fantastic 4?
	4:30pm spacebrother: "The man who stands behind the man who works the harvest machine."
	4:30pm Otis Fodder: No Don, but would love to hear.
	4:30pm Otis Fodder: Yes the doc is fantastic, caught it at Hot Docs in Toronto this summer, www.bathtubsoverbroadway.com
	4:30pm Rich in Washington: I think this guy's bipolar.
	4:31pm Otis Fodder: And I'll drop a link for the book too! www.industrialmusicals.com
	4:31pm Otis Fodder: Team Spirit!!
	4:31pm Rich in Washington: I've heard that, Don-O. It's craptacular!
	4:32pm Otis Fodder: Everything in this song now, Kitty in a Basket, this is what Otis is all about.
	4:32pm Rich in Washington: This song is adorable!
	4:33pm Webhamster Henry: I like the production values!
	4:33pm Betsy O: Wow, I used to cut gears for Massey Ferguson at my Dad’s tool and die shop in Detroit many years ago!
	4:33pm Otis Fodder: I caught myself humming it while grocery shopping this week.
	4:34pm Webhamster Henry: Some how I knew Patience and Prudence were next - Although I though t it would be A Smile and A Ribbon.
	4:35pm Otis Fodder: That's a gem too!
	4:36pm Webhamster Henry: I'm getting a feel for the Friendly Persuasion Segues.
	4:36pm Archivist Vivian: Oi, mate. I'm here.
	4:37pm Archivist Vivian: Glad to be here!
	4:38pm Welsh Rarebit: I like the sound of this.
	4:38pm Webhamster Henry: Suspiciously like Steinski's Ralphie's Bop City.
	4:38pm Archivist Vivian: I was browsing 365 Days to find stuff to put on Youtube, I'm glad I caught this!
	4:38pm Webhamster Henry: ralphiesbopcity.com
	4:39pm Otis Fodder: Holy Tire Iron tapes on Discogs, www.discogs.com... Holy Tire Iron was a 90s audio zine project by Reverend Raye, from West Somerville, Massachusetts. One would call the phone number and listen to the stories that others had left on the machine. It was not a 900 service, so if you were outside of the Boston area you had to pay for long distance phone charges. There was no advertising, the 'message changed every day,' and was made up of what callers called in. It was active for a number of years in the early-mid 1990s. The motto was "Inspiration is only a phone call away" and Raye called it free public media and added "Would you like fries with your art?"
	4:40pm Archivist Vivian: I feel like I'm hearing something I'm not supposed to be hearing.
	4:40pm Otis Fodder: Whoa! I didn't know about Ralphie's Bop City. More listening for this weekend, thanks Henry!
	4:41pm Otis Fodder: Hi Viv! Hey everyone, Vivian here did that amazing cover of Mr Snuggles you may have heard on the 1st show!
	4:42pm Archivist Vivian: Ahhh, many thanks, Otis! Dr. Airlines loves Dr. Love!
	4:43pm Archivist Vivian: I just uploaded The Wind Between My Wings by "Cedar Point Jim" to YouTube. It's a piece of work.
	4:44pm spacebrother: There used to be an anonymous "confession line" which resulted in a zine called "Confession" I think. They printed the best messages in each issue.
	4:46pm Archivist Vivian: Weird Al Yankovic and a friend of his operated an anonymous joke hotline in Downey CA in the mid 70s called the Zygot line.
	4:47pm Archivist Vivian: There's a tape posted on Youtube from that line of Al and his friend, Mike Solton, performing a parody of Randy Newman's "Short People", calling it "Zyg Callers", about the people who called in.
	4:47pm Otis Fodder: I have 7 90min tapes of Holy Tire Iron. Going to stretch out recordings on future shows in small bits.
	4:47pm Archivist Vivian: The more I listen, the more I want to keep listening.
	4:48pm OliverrrLewisss: A+ !
	4:48pm Otis Fodder: I love all the info in the chat comments. Going to go back and revisit the comments after for quite a bit of discovery!
	4:48pm Otis Fodder: Hey Oliver! Hey all, Oliver will be guesting on the show next week playing.... ???
	4:49pm spacebrother: I may have called that joke line when I was a little kid. There was a Nazi party number in San Diego too that I should have recorded. We used to call it and laugh and marvel.
	4:50pm Archivist Vivian: Unrelated to what we are listening to, Otis. But I am trying to obtain more Mar-Tie recordings. I contacted this guy who has three but he's a college teacher and was too busy last time I asked. I actually sampled Mar-Tie on an upcoming project I'm doing.
	4:50pm spacebrother: Never heard of the Tire Iron. Great stuff, Otis!
	4:50pm Archivist Vivian: That's very possible, it was very popular. Apparently it shut down because it got too much traction, I think? I forget.
	4:51pm Otis Fodder: Only found a couple of mentions online in zines, like SO WHAT a zine by Rev Groovy G (obsessed with the number 23 in his zine). The tapes I have were in my old cassette tape catalog.
	4:51pm Webhamster Henry: Yeah, the confession line!
	4:52pm Otis Fodder: Viv, did you contact BC Sterrett? I helped release those with BC and his friends years ago on Comfort Stand. Check with BC as he would know more.
	4:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thoroughly enjoying all of this
	4:52pm spacebrother: I remember "So What." I might still have a couple around somewhere.
	4:53pm Otis Fodder: I was going to play the old FMU Catalog tape, Apology Line. But oh mannn, is it heavy. So put that in a box for maybe a future show.
	4:53pm Archivist Vivian: I haven't, but that's a good idea. Mar-Tie is very fascinating. I have a friend who lives in Provo and I had to tell her all about him.
	4:53pm Otis Fodder: I love that you remember that zine. :)
	4:54pm Webhamster Henry: I used to produce answering machine messages on my 4track and NeXT; every year I'd make an outgoing message out of messages left on the machine. Nowadays, telephony s mostly junk phone calls.
	4:54pm spacebrother: :)
	4:55pm Otis Fodder: I have 3 guest shows coming up over the next, 3 weeks. Guests will play most everything but if there is any filler time, I have this Holy Tire Iron tape here to continue and fill in space.
	4:55pm Archivist Vivian: There's some pretty groovy people speaking on this Holy Tire Iron tape. I'm really into this.
	4:56pm OliverrrLewisss: Ehehe, looking forward to joining you on the waves, cheers Otis ! All this talk of call-in tapes has got me wondering if anyone at the Montreal Mirror ever kept any of the 'Rant Line' call-in tapes . . .
	4:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: God. I just went to the Comfort Stand website. There's some names there that bring back memories ...
	4:56pm Otis Fodder: I love this and what I love more, is I haven't listened to these tapes in almost 2 decades. It's all new and fresh. Pretty sure I called in, just can't remember if I'm on one of these tapes. Maybe, I hope I find myself and if I do, I'll say OMG it's MEEEE!
	4:56pm spacebrother: Oh man, my wife has the same first initial and surname as "Slash" from Guns and Roses. She used to collect all sorts of crazy messages left on her machine by people who thought that Slash had actually slipped up and gotten his name in the phone book. I'll bug her again and see if we can find it.
	4:57pm Otis Fodder: That was a fun net label project from 2003-2006. So many friends on there.
	4:57pm spacebrother: I loved Comfortstand. Still do.
	4:58pm Archivist Vivian: This exchange is like an internet argument, but more polite.
	4:58pm Archivist Vivian: We need more Mar-Tie. I'll forever thank Comfortstand for giving him to us.
	4:59pm Otis Fodder: I guess they called in together on 2 phones in the same home. This is 1994.
	5:01pm Archivist Vivian: I must know more of the legend of Soulmate Girl. Too bad we'll never know.
	5:02pm Rich in Washington: weird. I can read the ongoing comments on my work computer, but can't comment, except from my phone via the wfmu app.
	5:03pm RiW: can only listen on my phone, too. big network outtage here at work.
	5:05pm Otis Fodder: I'm going to continue to play these tapes, in order from this one (vol 8) and then start at the early ones, so hopefully we find out together about Soulmate Girl and others. I will not listen before I play them. That's more fun.
	5:05pm Webhamster Henry: I used to produce the FMU Catalog (Chris T was the master curator). Other big tape was the Shemp Meditation tape
	5:05pm RiW: wasn't Phineas Narco's Midnight Voicejail something like that?
	5:06pm Otis Fodder: You did!?! That was my intro to WFMU. The catalog, in like 1995 or 1996.
	5:06pm Archivist Vivian: This will be a great journey.
	5:06pm Webhamster Henry: Now I can sing along to A Smile And a Ribbon.
	5:06pm Archivist Vivian: Oh, hey. I think my mate Joe Aufricht called in to Bob Larson's show.
	5:07pm Webhamster Henry: The Catalog was printed, available as gopher, web, and via email infobot.
	5:07pm Archivist Vivian: I'm sure some of you know who he is, with his spoken word tapes and Rejuvination zines.
	5:08pm Archivist Vivian: My bandmate showed him to me, audio of him is on 365 days.
	5:09pm Otis Fodder: Thank you for listening to the phone calling portion of today's program. Will need to do this much much more in the future.
	5:09pm Don-O: I just got back from a walk and I heard a screaming guy on AM radio. Must be prank call portion of the show.
	5:10pm Otis Fodder: Where is Anton Maiden... at this moment... today.
	5:10pm Archivist Vivian: Anton Maiden is dead. :(
	5:10pm Mr Fab: he was saying"Baal"? Thought he was a Subgenius saying he worshiped 'Bob.'
	5:10pm Don-O: ...oops, it's the 666 portion of the show. Is Fire On High coming up?
	5:12pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I thought he was saying Bob as well!! I genuinely thought it was a subgenus thing. Great minds etc.
	5:12pm Otis Fodder: I am sure the caller had his rev card in his wallet. Praise Bob!
	5:14pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I need some Bob stickers in my studio. Used to have a ton of them. Happy times.
	5:15pm spacebrother: Original SubG member. I am in the second book as "Anomalous Phenomena."
	5:15pm Archivist Vivian: The best Christian-related organ material is The Handless Organist record.
	5:15pm Mr Fab: thx for reminding me about the Shemp tapes, Henry - will edit them into the stream pronto, bwa ha ha!
	5:15pm spacebrother: There was ANOTHER Christian Astronaut album?
	5:16pm Archivist Vivian: Children Of Sunshine! <3
	5:16pm Don-O: SubGenius Member....I mean, Minister for the past year and a half and counting!
	5:16pm spacebrother: Maybe I didn't rip that track on my itunes.
	5:16pm Archivist Vivian: I sang "Dandelions" to a girl I was briefly going out with in September. Had to learn to play that one on guitar.
	5:17pm Don-O: The happiest 'We're Doomed!" song I've heard so far.....
	5:17pm Otis Fodder: REV OTIS since the late 80s, devivals and hour of slack show appearances and fond memories of many years ago.
	5:17pm Archivist Vivian: I hope that the radio appearance of Tres & Kitsy get found one day, but I'm not holding my breath.
	5:17pm Otis Fodder: I love the Dandelions album.
	5:18pm Archivist Vivian: It's a magic experience. Needs a re-release.
	5:19pm Webhamster Henry: At some point I'll put up a server with pieces of the 1998 version of the WFMU website.
	5:19pm Otis Fodder: I've been waiting patiently for a reissue. Hopefully one day. For now I have mp3s to keep me happy. It's a gem.
	5:19pm Mr Fab: What's the second book, spacebrother? I bought "The Book of Subgenius" and "Three Fisted Tales" back in the day.
	5:19pm Otis Fodder: REV X
	5:19pm Don-O: I do remember the night you did OTE with Eat This and you slid into the Puzzling Evidence show after wards. Too bad I wasn't physically there....
	5:19pm Webhamster Henry: Shemp & Shooby : the sound of WFMU!
	5:20pm Don-O: Revelation X was the 2nd book, I guess.
	5:20pm Archivist Vivian: This is groooooooooooovy.
	5:20pm Don-O: Ah, Stereolab solo project!!!!
	5:21pm Otis Fodder: That was OTE 1998, with Phineas Narco and dAS (Big City Orchestra). When on with PE and Hal after on KPFA. Day after we played a live show in Oakland with dAS playing a popcorn popping machine and fed the audience. Eat THIS! The eaters must have slack.
	5:22pm Otis Fodder: Yes!! Tim Gane's Cavern of Anti-Matter. I almost cued up Neu after... another show.
	5:23pm Webhamster Henry: Yeah Mr. Fab, there's lots to throw in the Jungle Room Mix! Like SHUT UP LITTLE MAN!
	5:23pm Don-O: So, what came first: Puzzling Evidence the Sub-Genius or the True Stories version.
	5:24pm spacebrother: I was also lucky enough to appear on "More than an Hour, Less Than A Show" with Hal Robins and Doug "Puzzling Evidence" Wellman a few times. I guess in the early 1990s. Do you have any recordings of your shows?
	5:24pm Archivist Vivian: Otis. I am curating from my archive of songs from a musician you may not know about and I'm gonna send you a ZIP folder later. You're going to really enjoy it.
	5:24pm Otis Fodder: Oh god, I used to have tapes and the best-of CD of Raymond & Peter. We need Shut Up Little Man added to the stream for sure. The documentary is great too!!
	5:24pm Otis Fodder: Thanks Viv!!!
	5:26pm Otis Fodder: I know a couple are on archive.org OTE archive. Hour of Slack shows on KPFA, I don't have any. I used to send Doug & Hal tapes from 1993-1997 that I made of early Bran Flakes and other odd material. Would send tapes to Don too for OTE. Really great memories.
	5:27pm Webhamster Henry: I think Shut Up Little Man was made into stage show, if not a musical .
	5:28pm Mr Fab: Pretty sure I added a DEVO (dba "The Wipeouters") song into the stream that sampled Shut Up Little Man, but yeah, gotta dig into the source material.
	5:29pm spacebrother: Ah, Marty.
	5:29pm Don-O: Phinias Narco did a couple of sets of the best of P. E. one from each decade, 80's and 90's. Here's one of them: nationalcynical.bandcamp.com...
	5:30pm Mr Fab: When will the hip-oisie discover Marty Robbins, the way they did with Johnny Cash? Lotta great records outta that man.
	5:31pm Webhamster Henry: I Died Today.
	5:33pm Webhamster Henry: Pullin' a Stetson over those pointy ears.
	5:35pm RiW: that Omni Corporation comp Troubled Troubadours needs to be reissued.
	5:36pm Don-O: Bev Bevan!!!!
	5:38pm Mr Fab: don't know "Troubled Troubadours" but I got a comp last year called "Hillbillys in Hell" that's quite good.
	5:38pm Matt_E: Hate to say it but I haven't listened to FMU's actual broadcast since I found this stream a few weeks ago. I'm loving it, Otis!
	5:39pm Otis Fodder: Shucks, thanks Matt!
	5:40pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Love this album!
	5:41pm Mr Fab: So YOU'RE the one, Matt E! Naw, seriously, so glad to hear that.
	5:41pm Don-O: Oh, Leonard Nimoy Jr.
	5:42pm Don-O: .....one of us, one of us..
	5:43pm RiW: I loved seeing John Hartford (sic?) performing this song live on David Letterman's fake summer show
	5:43pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Outstanding show, Otis!! Thank you, sweetie :-)
	5:43pm Archivist Vivian: I remember Telly's foray into music but never actually looked into it.
	5:44pm RiW: thanks, Otis! wonderful show!
	5:44pm Otis Fodder: This 10min "O Perce" cut is from the soundtrack to a "maple syrup" softcore film, "Y'a Plus De Trou À Percé " from 1971. This is the English version of the album, "Loving and Laughing" www.discogs.com...
	5:44pm Archivist Vivian: This has been great fun.
	5:48pm spacebrother: Good show, sir.
	5:53pm Webhamster Henry: It sounds like Love on a Swingle.
	5:54pm Mr Fab: Damn, i was too young for the 'sexual revolution.' Musta been fun: a custom van, waterbeds, saying stuff like 'Your place or mine'?
	5:57pm Archivist Vivian: Three Finger Joe. I'll keep my comments to myself.
	5:57pm Webhamster Henry: Adjust the focus! www.youtube.com...
	5:58pm grantbob: Thanks Otis!
	5:58pm Mr Fab: SPECTACULAR show Otis. Stay tuned for the mad, mad, mad, mad Hour of Crap
	5:58pm Otis Fodder: Thanks all. Stay tuned for The Hour of Crap with Don-O next up! www.wfmu.org...
	5:58pm Martinibomb: Excellent show today!
	6:00pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks Jungle roomies! An all phone-in tape show would be good. Who knows, maybe you can find airchecks of WFMU's telephone Jam.
