Listener comments!
	3:04pm thormagma: hola failures!
	3:05pm Netochka Nezvanova: Direct from pre-Pongal south India....strength, failure, the zone.
	3:05pm P: I'm anticipating some Mr. Giant Man covers, eventually.
	3:05pm steveo: hi fabio; I accidentally air-guitarred the first chord of mr. giant man 2 measures too soon; please forgive me.
	3:06pm Rich in Washington: Oh yeah. The record that warped me!
	3:06pm Snoochienucci: hello fellow failed strong boys and girls
	3:06pm The Oscar: THIRD REICH 'N' ROLL! God, what an important album.
	3:07pm βrian: Has the Giant Man fallen yet?
	3:07pm The Oscar: So hard not to sing along. Not sure my coworkers would understand, though.
	3:07pm Cmurtha: Hello, everyone. Oh boy residents. surprisingly not played as much on WFMU as one would think based on archives.
	👻 3:07pm chresti: Hello strong ones!
	3:08pm bɿɒiniɒc: You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs
	3:08pm Netochka Nezvanova: @oscar a classic. Them and Anthony Braxtom and Pink Floyd is how I survived uni
	3:09pm Rory: Hello
	3:10pm Rory: Love this Residents track
	3:10pm tim from champaign (now washington): Hi Fabio and everyone! Someone needs to record a Pseu's thing with a Hook style theme song for Fabio to the tune of the Screamers' Vertigo. "Let's Go! Fab-i-o! Let's Go!"
	3:15pm steveo: there's that car crash again
	3:18pm Homer: This is it. The RNR SUCkCESS!
	3:19pm morphe': Is that Stork or Kenny G filling in????
	3:20pm The Oscar: Fun fact: This is believed to be the first record to sample James Brown.
	3:21pm morphe': Sorry, I meant Bryce not Stork..
	3:21pm steveo: seen on twitter: pbs.twimg.com...
	3:21pm GListener MW: Amazing record, this. Eponymizes everything i love about WFMU!
	3:22pm bɿɒiniɒc: @tim: What about this as theme music? youtu.be...
	3:22pm Brendan: I think, for Fabio’s theme, Ennio Morricone needs to be commissioned to do something (and soon, while he is still alive). It needs to be something on a grand scale. It would be his magnum opus, rendering his previous compositions "The Ecstasy of Gold", "Se Telefonando", "Man with a Harmonica" obsolete and basically demos compared to the scale of “Fabio’s Theme”. Men and women would openly weep at its beauty and children would sing it to begin each school day.
	3:23pm Brendan: Or I’m okay with Giant Man . Either way man.
	3:24pm tim from champaign (now washington): @brainiac - that could work. @Brendan - that is an excellent idea!
	3:26pm Jherweg: Herweg in the house .
	3:27pm Somm Ben: A denial, a denial, a denial...
	3:29pm Netochka Nezvanova: Fabio's will has a Theme Song Plan for the live re-play of all of his shows.
	3:31pm bɿɒiniɒc: There's the title: "Fabio's Will"
	👻 3:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: Like Cherry Blossom Clinic, the theme song would have a number of distinct passages.
	3:32pm steveo: sometime real soon I'm gonna have a lot of clicky-starring to catch up on....
	3:33pm bɿɒiniɒc: DABBA DABBA DABBA CHAH
	3:35pm Tee Ess: For the longest time, Rez 3rd RNR were the only versions of those tunes I knew. When I would end up hearing them on the LA oldies stations like KRLA or K-Earth, I always chuckled to myself- the best kind of a quiet inside joke.
	3:36pm Brendan: I am in favor of any theme song composed on non-traditional instruments or noise emanating (or enemating) devices. A rubber band stretched over a resonant object and plucked. A detuned bicycle spoke. A formerly French horn that now plays Germanic notes.
	3:36pm Lixiviated Life: just got here. what did i miss? I want to know EVERYTHING
	👻 3:37pm chresti: Let er rip!
	3:37pm Brendan: Let one rip Fab!
	3:42pm Zephyr: Concur with the accolades for The Residents but Zappa was doing great things in 1967 on Absolutely Free...just sayin
	3:42pm MacGuffin: OMG I just got here but I see comments above discussing a new theme tune. Why why WHY is this happening? I only recently perfected my dance moves to the old one!
	3:42pm Cmurtha: God in Three Persons is 10/10. Very strong example from their more melodic concept albums
	3:48pm morphe': Brendan - check out Frank Zappa (bicycle wheel) on the Steve Allen Show 1963 [below] or the Nihilist Spasm Band {one of uncle Ken's Favs from Canada -or No-canada] or our own Harry Partch... Zappa on the bike below 1963: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9P2V0_p6vE
	👻 3:49pm Rev. Turnip Druid: I am, as they say, late.
	3:50pm Handy Haversack: I didn't know that Residents track. Don't think I'd ever heard it.
	3:50pm Netochka Nezvanova: Or Gordon Mumma with a French horn in a cave and some resonant tubes!!!!
	3:51pm morphe': Rev: there was a graffiti in lower NYC in the early 80s saying: THROW A REVOLUTION EVERYONE WILL BE LATE BUT THEY WILL BE WEARING BLACK CLOTHES AS USUAL
	3:51pm steveo: @cmurtha 10 beats per measure and tenth notes are one beat?
	3:53pm Brendan: @morphe’ yep I remember seeing the Zappa thing on YT awhile back. Credit the show for treating him like an artist. Although if he had long hair back then they’d a probably dismissed his performance.
	👻 3:53pm Rev. Turnip Druid: [beatnik finger-snapping approval of '80s NYC graffito]
	3:55pm spodiodi: ooh yeah
	3:56pm Cmurtha: B-OW
	3:57pm dale: i think i saw 7 beauties and swept away as a kid late at night on my local pbs station. i was in over my head.
	3:57pm nic: oh yeah!!!
	4:02pm morphe': DER WEG ZUM LESEN - Hunter, ccny 1981
	4:05pm P-90: Background music! My Failure Experience is now complete.
	4:05pm Lixiviated Life: don't sing SCREAM
	4:07pm JakeGould: R.I.P. Buck Henry
	4:07pm Lixiviated Life: a moment of silence for the (rather) late Rev. Turnip Druid
	4:09pm steveo: any of you lurking musicians ever use software called Alda? "Standard music notation doesn’t have symbols for note lengths that aren’t powers of 2, but Alda is a text format; we can easily support any denominator note length, so we do! As you’re composing music with Alda, remember that you can experiment with note lengths that aren’t powers of 2. As a result, you’re bound to come up with some uncommon and very interesting rhythms."
	4:10pm Brendan: On his tombstone it might read , The Buck Stops Here
	4:15pm Brendan: I am preparing a melange de concrete, with sautéed bark truffles and poached metal .
	4:18pm bɿɒiniɒc: Last night a most obscure tribute to Buck Henry was played by a mechanical owl on WFMU Ichiban: wfmu.org...
	4:19pm MUWFinMA: great crackle
	4:20pm morphe': Brendan - I'd go with robust Cotes de Rhone Villages Rouge with that.. cheaper than a Chateau Neuf de Pape but just as good if not better..
	4:25pm morphe': Something between Thermin(the actual person/inventor) and Stefan Zucker's(world's highest tenor - wkcr) opera record collection
	4:26pm bɿɒiniɒc: *sigh. That link didn't match the song. It was The Asylum Choir - "Episode Containing 3 Songs: Mr. Henry The Clown. Very circus-y. And obscure.
	4:29pm G: cool hand Luc
	4:31pm steveo: I'm not sure that's his hand, G
	4:31pm ottovonbqe: time to send the kids out of the room...
	4:32pm Brendan: @morphe love the Cotes .. dry oaky reds are among my fave hooches
	4:33pm Carmichael: That's a strange show, brainiac. I listen occasionally ...
	4:34pm nic: love this!!!
	4:35pm steveo: c++++-+-+-+ The above is a really obtuse and unnecessary way to represent an E (a.k.a. a C-sharp-sharp-sharp-sharp-flat-sharp-flat-sharp-flat-sharp) in Alda.
	4:35pm bɿɒiniɒc: Hey Carmichael! How's your new year going?
	4:35pm Gnomon: Loving today’s abstractions Fab
	4:35pm Handy Haversack: A+, @steveo
	4:36pm Carmichael: Can't complain, brainiac. Oh wait, yes I can!
	4:41pm Brendan: I’d like register a complaint. I don’t have an actual complaint, but i’d like to get a leg up on the registration process. A leg up in the canine manner .
	4:42pm steveo: be sharp, Handy
	4:43pm Handy Haversack: Flat out. Heading back under the river and over the creek. Will catch the end of the show from home.
	4:44pm Handy Haversack: --and sounding good, Fabio!
	4:49pm SSS: I will work for Chicklets.
	4:49pm Ike: 20 years ago, London had vending machines with Cadbury bars in them (the real ones, obviously, not the shitty American fakes). I wonder if those are still there.
	4:50pm Ike: In the London Underground, I mean, of course.
	👻 4:51pm chresti: I remember chicklet gum in Mexico, I liked the violet ones
	4:53pm Rob (Jerzcity): "Barely contained chaos" is a pretty good descriptor for the Safdie's previous effort, "Good Times"
	4:54pm Rich in Washington: It's 2020 and our reality show star president is doing battle with an ancient nation, Justin Beiber has Lyme's Disease and an Adam Sandler film is being raved about. Oh yeah, and a massive methane leak threatens the planet.
	4:56pm Rob (Jerzcity): Don't forget nearly an entire continent is on fire!
	4:56pm Rich in Washington: Lately I've been playing this game where I predict who's the least likely celeb, figure, criminal to be called President in the next 20 years.
	4:57pm Rich in Washington: @Rob (Jerxcity): Right! I was just spitballing off the top of my head.
	5:00pm Brendan: There were also those mini packs of 3 cigarettes. I used to like cigarette vending machines in general, what with their the classy pull knobs, and easy access for underage tobacco consumers like me. Most bars had them.
	5:02pm bɿɒiniɒc: President Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson seems a likely eventuality
	5:03pm bɿɒiniɒc: Although he'd have to accept a massive pay cut
	5:04pm Brendan: Pretty amazing sounds
	5:05pm Brendan: Amaing pretty sounds
	5:05pm Brendan: Sounds pretty amazing
	5:05pm Carmichael: This is almost as strange as the Dead Man soundtrack.
	5:08pm Brendan: My money’s on Ron Jeremy if we’re gonna have another dick in the white house.
	5:10pm Carmichael: I'm thinking Kid Rock. Or Gilbert Gottfried.
	5:12pm bɿɒiniɒc: Nothing's too absurd! What a time to be alive.
	5:16pm TDK60: Hello. Don't get here often enough.
	5:18pm bɿɒiniɒc: Here come the chimes. Oh wait, wrong album
	5:19pm Brendan: Time keeps on ticking ticking into the future
	5:20pm Brendan: UXB
	5:20pm common: Fabio, all. Zoundz
	5:21pm Brendan: When it stops ticking, run.
	👻 5:25pm chresti: Love this hammering Harakiri
	5:27pm TDK60: Do need horror movies anymore? Reality is enough.
	5:29pm TDK60: Oh yeh, saw "Woman in the Dunes" long ago. I liked the black & white cinematography.
	👻 5:29pm chresti: Reality is a horror movie @TDK60
	5:30pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): did you know that scientists have put 3D glasses on cuttlefish?
	5:31pm bɿɒiniɒc: Million dollar idea: When the multiplex theater chains are all boarded up, reopen them as opium dens.
	5:31pm tim from champaign (now washington): Terry Southern?
	5:31pm mrmikestandsir: harakiri is an amazing amazing hypnotizing movie that erupts at the end in an explosive graphic samurai sword fight to end them all.
	5:32pm William Main: Terry Southern, I think...
	5:33pm V Priceless: also Scott Walker's bday today!
	5:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Never put it together that Get Smart was Mel Brooks somehow...
	5:34pm Brendan: @pattonoswalt David Letterman: Do you have any hobbies? Buck Henry: I have hobbies. DL: Do you have any pets? BH: I'm not allowed to have pets. DL: Why? BH: Because of my hobbies.#RIPBuckHenry 15.6K 10:53 PM - Jan 8, 2020
	5:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I mean I think I just forgot it...
	5:37pm tim from champaign (now washington): I really really hope Fabio plays Fat Elvis era Elvis.
	5:38pm common: Bowie
	👻 5:38pm royvis: That Dave Grusin track was excellent!
	5:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but I'm pretty sure I know Fripp when I hears...
	5:38pm mrmikestandsir: January 8th is also Graham Chapman's birthday.
	5:38pm northguineahills: @ Rev Rabbit: My father showed me Get Smart, It was only until uni I made the connection...
	5:39pm Aitch: The guitar work on Scary Monsters amazing, this track and the title in particular. Nice pick, for me the last truly great Bowie album.
	5:41pm V Priceless: abowie!
	5:41pm mrmikestandsir: don't know if Buck Henry wrote it, but my favorite line from all of get Smart is:"Not Craw, Craw"
	5:42pm V Priceless: someone needs to build a monument to Robert Fripp, just because!
	5:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bowie always (usually) sounded like the Future of Rawk. He credited Visconti a lot.
	5:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sounds like sampling 'Let There Be More Light' by Floyd...
	5:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...it's fun to turn your tone down & try & be a shabby Fripp... Now it's Small Faces - Ogdens...
	5:48pm tim from champaign (now washington): I've been listening to a re-issue of King Crimson's live record Eathbound. I'm amazed with Fripp's combination of his signature sound with Hendrix/Iommi heaviness on those live recordings.
	👻 5:49pm Rev. Turnip Druid: belated super-yay for the Parmegiani. Super-genius.
	5:49pm Fabio: I always thought Fripp played guitar on "Teenage Wildlife" but a quick check in the liner notes says that "Chuck Hammer" plays guitar on that and Ashes To Ashes...
	5:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I'ma do the Shabby Fripp here ... : m.facebook.com...
	5:51pm Carmichael: So the gossip websites say Mel Brooks created the shoe phone, but Buck Henry created the cone of silence.
	5:52pm ultradamno: Hammer also evidently played with Lou Reed from 78-80
	5:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wigkey say Fripp - & Chuck guitar synth : en.m.wikipedia.org...
	5:52pm ultradamno: He appears on Growing Up In Public.
	5:54pm Ike: Sounds good today!
	5:55pm V Priceless: good catch Fabs, on the Chuck Hammer credit
	5:56pm Wilson in SO: I love how for the past few weeks you’ve been closing your shows with reasonably acceptable pop
	5:57pm Dusty Roads: He toured with P. Gabriel aka R.Fripp.Gabriels first solo tour mid 70's
	5:57pm ultradamno: You couldn't have closed with Third Reich 'n Roll pt.2?
	5:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: One aspect of Bowie"s genius was bringing high concept stuff all the way home ad great Pop / Rawk.
	5:58pm ultradamno: "Hitler Was A Vegetarian" for the faithful.
	5:59pm Brendan: Thanks
	5:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Bowie perhaps THEE genius @ that...

	4:26pm bɿɒiniɒc: *sigh. That link didn't match the song. It was The Asylum Choir - "Episode Containing 3 Songs: Mr. Henry The Clown. Very circus-y. And obscure.
	4:29pm G: cool hand Luc
	4:31pm steveo: I'm not sure that's his hand, G
	4:31pm ottovonbqe: time to send the kids out of the room...
	4:32pm Brendan: @morphe love the Cotes .. dry oaky reds are among my fave hooches
	4:33pm Carmichael: That's a strange show, brainiac. I listen occasionally ...
	4:34pm nic: love this!!!
	4:35pm steveo: c++++-+-+-+ The above is a really obtuse and unnecessary way to represent an E (a.k.a. a C-sharp-sharp-sharp-sharp-flat-sharp-flat-sharp-flat-sharp) in Alda.
	4:35pm bɿɒiniɒc: Hey Carmichael! How's your new year going?
	4:35pm Gnomon: Loving today’s abstractions Fab
	4:35pm Handy Haversack: A+, @steveo
	4:36pm Carmichael: Can't complain, brainiac. Oh wait, yes I can!
	4:41pm Brendan: I’d like register a complaint. I don’t have an actual complaint, but i’d like to get a leg up on the registration process. A leg up in the canine manner .
	4:42pm steveo: be sharp, Handy
	4:43pm Handy Haversack: Flat out. Heading back under the river and over the creek. Will catch the end of the show from home.
	4:44pm Handy Haversack: --and sounding good, Fabio!
	4:49pm SSS: I will work for Chicklets.
	4:49pm Ike: 20 years ago, London had vending machines with Cadbury bars in them (the real ones, obviously, not the shitty American fakes). I wonder if those are still there.
	4:50pm Ike: In the London Underground, I mean, of course.
	👻 4:51pm chresti: I remember chicklet gum in Mexico, I liked the violet ones
	4:53pm Rob (Jerzcity): "Barely contained chaos" is a pretty good descriptor for the Safdie's previous effort, "Good Times"
	4:54pm Rich in Washington: It's 2020 and our reality show star president is doing battle with an ancient nation, Justin Beiber has Lyme's Disease and an Adam Sandler film is being raved about. Oh yeah, and a massive methane leak threatens the planet.
	4:56pm Rob (Jerzcity): Don't forget nearly an entire continent is on fire!
	4:56pm Rich in Washington: Lately I've been playing this game where I predict who's the least likely celeb, figure, criminal to be called President in the next 20 years.
	4:57pm Rich in Washington: @Rob (Jerxcity): Right! I was just spitballing off the top of my head.
	5:00pm Brendan: There were also those mini packs of 3 cigarettes. I used to like cigarette vending machines in general, what with their the classy pull knobs, and easy access for underage tobacco consumers like me. Most bars had them.
	5:02pm bɿɒiniɒc: President Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson seems a likely eventuality
	5:03pm bɿɒiniɒc: Although he'd have to accept a massive pay cut
	5:04pm Brendan: Pretty amazing sounds
	5:05pm Brendan: Amaing pretty sounds
	5:05pm Brendan: Sounds pretty amazing
	5:05pm Carmichael: This is almost as strange as the Dead Man soundtrack.
	5:08pm Brendan: My money’s on Ron Jeremy if we’re gonna have another dick in the white house.
	5:10pm Carmichael: I'm thinking Kid Rock. Or Gilbert Gottfried.
	5:12pm bɿɒiniɒc: Nothing's too absurd! What a time to be alive.
	5:16pm TDK60: Hello. Don't get here often enough.
	5:18pm bɿɒiniɒc: Here come the chimes. Oh wait, wrong album
	5:19pm Brendan: Time keeps on ticking ticking into the future
	5:20pm Brendan: UXB
	5:20pm common: Fabio, all. Zoundz
	5:21pm Brendan: When it stops ticking, run.
	👻 5:25pm chresti: Love this hammering Harakiri
	5:27pm TDK60: Do need horror movies anymore? Reality is enough.
	5:29pm TDK60: Oh yeh, saw "Woman in the Dunes" long ago. I liked the black & white cinematography.
	👻 5:29pm chresti: Reality is a horror movie @TDK60
	5:30pm Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them): did you know that scientists have put 3D glasses on cuttlefish?
	5:31pm bɿɒiniɒc: Million dollar idea: When the multiplex theater chains are all boarded up, reopen them as opium dens.
	5:31pm tim from champaign (now washington): Terry Southern?
	5:31pm mrmikestandsir: harakiri is an amazing amazing hypnotizing movie that erupts at the end in an explosive graphic samurai sword fight to end them all.
	5:32pm William Main: Terry Southern, I think...
	5:33pm V Priceless: also Scott Walker's bday today!
	5:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Never put it together that Get Smart was Mel Brooks somehow...
	5:34pm Brendan: @pattonoswalt David Letterman: Do you have any hobbies? Buck Henry: I have hobbies. DL: Do you have any pets? BH: I'm not allowed to have pets. DL: Why? BH: Because of my hobbies.#RIPBuckHenry 15.6K 10:53 PM - Jan 8, 2020
	5:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I mean I think I just forgot it...
	5:37pm tim from champaign (now washington): I really really hope Fabio plays Fat Elvis era Elvis.
	5:38pm common: Bowie
	👻 5:38pm royvis: That Dave Grusin track was excellent!
	5:38pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but I'm pretty sure I know Fripp when I hears...
	5:38pm mrmikestandsir: January 8th is also Graham Chapman's birthday.
	5:38pm northguineahills: @ Rev Rabbit: My father showed me Get Smart, It was only until uni I made the connection...
	5:39pm Aitch: The guitar work on Scary Monsters amazing, this track and the title in particular. Nice pick, for me the last truly great Bowie album.
	5:41pm V Priceless: abowie!
	5:41pm mrmikestandsir: don't know if Buck Henry wrote it, but my favorite line from all of get Smart is:"Not Craw, Craw"
	5:42pm V Priceless: someone needs to build a monument to Robert Fripp, just because!
	5:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Bowie always (usually) sounded like the Future of Rawk. He credited Visconti a lot.
	5:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sounds like sampling 'Let There Be More Light' by Floyd...
	5:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...it's fun to turn your tone down & try & be a shabby Fripp... Now it's Small Faces - Ogdens...
	5:48pm tim from champaign (now washington): I've been listening to a re-issue of King Crimson's live record Eathbound. I'm amazed with Fripp's combination of his signature sound with Hendrix/Iommi heaviness on those live recordings.
	👻 5:49pm Rev. Turnip Druid: belated super-yay for the Parmegiani. Super-genius.
	5:49pm Fabio: I always thought Fripp played guitar on "Teenage Wildlife" but a quick check in the liner notes says that "Chuck Hammer" plays guitar on that and Ashes To Ashes...
	5:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I'ma do the Shabby Fripp here ... : m.facebook.com...
	5:51pm Carmichael: So the gossip websites say Mel Brooks created the shoe phone, but Buck Henry created the cone of silence.
	5:52pm ultradamno: Hammer also evidently played with Lou Reed from 78-80
	5:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Wigkey say Fripp - & Chuck guitar synth : en.m.wikipedia.org...
	5:52pm ultradamno: He appears on Growing Up In Public.
	5:54pm Ike: Sounds good today!
	5:55pm V Priceless: good catch Fabs, on the Chuck Hammer credit
	5:56pm Wilson in SO: I love how for the past few weeks you’ve been closing your shows with reasonably acceptable pop
	5:57pm Dusty Roads: He toured with P. Gabriel aka R.Fripp.Gabriels first solo tour mid 70's
	5:57pm ultradamno: You couldn't have closed with Third Reich 'n Roll pt.2?
	5:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: One aspect of Bowie"s genius was bringing high concept stuff all the way home ad great Pop / Rawk.
	5:58pm ultradamno: "Hitler Was A Vegetarian" for the faithful.
	5:59pm Brendan: Thanks
	5:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Bowie perhaps THEE genius @ that...
