Listener comments!
	👻 3:04pm Bas NL: Hi Fabio!
	3:05pm Mr. Pumpy: Hi-Ho, Fabio! Let the failure begin...
	3:05pm Handy Haversack: Hi, Fabio and all the Fab Failures! Party time in Giant Land!
	👻 3:05pm mrdonutsu: So much failing, we're gonna' all get tired of failing*!
	👻 3:05pm mrdonutsu: *Not possible.
	👻 3:05pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Welcome to the Future™
	👻 3:06pm chresti: Ho ho Fabio! Hi all in giant land!
	3:08pm redkayak: Here we go!
	3:08pm spodiodi: hi Fabio! failures
	3:08pm Itzall Tumánnio: Appropriate. Rest in silicon, Florian.
	3:08pm listener james from westwood: Sad to lose Schneider, but I know he was remembered and valued on this show and station long before his passing.
	3:09pm Dave in Vermont: oh nice, I've really had David Bowie on my mind this week
	3:09pm slugluv1313: good afternoon, Fabio and everyone! thanks so much -- yes, Rest in Peace, dear Florian -- my heart hurts
	3:10pm McGroovey: @DaveInVermont I need to get my glasses check. I read that first as "...Bowie on my back..." which raised (raises?) all sorts of questions.
	👻 3:11pm Ken From Hyde Park: Help keep failure alive and kicking: www.gofundme.com...
	3:11pm McGroovey: *-ed
	3:11pm brainiac: Hello again everyone. What route does one take to get to Cloudland?
	3:11pm McGroovey: @brainiac I think you've found it.
	3:11pm Lixiviated Life: Failure is an option
	3:12pm WoodsOfNH: Is it just me or has it taken 9 days to get to Thursday?
	3:12pm Stanley: @brainiac - follow the cuckoo
	3:12pm morphe': Bah Humbug!!!! Sorry just trying to fit in.. Wearing a hat - yet but with a wee brim - no threats to Fabs...
	3:13pm spodiodi: it's just beyond the old failurewerks
	👻 3:13pm Bas NL: Krautnodding
	3:13pm Peter from Dover NJ: Hello Fabio and everyone. So far, 2020 is a fail as to being a party year. This record is gonna make me fail at avoiding spending money on records.
	3:14pm Lixiviated Life: This Krautwerk segues nicely with my recent Werner Herzog binge.
	3:15pm Lixiviated Life: Fitzcarraldo was framed !
	3:15pm listener james from westwood: Now is the time on Sprockets when we cry one single, stern, Teutonic tear.
	3:16pm morphe': Lix- did ya see the Doc - somebody was going tokill somebody - the white haired actor lost his mind - yes??no??yes??? I'll look it up..
	👻 3:16pm Bas NL: The Neu virus..
	3:16pm Handy Haversack: Very nice. Robotschmertz. Going to have to duck out for a call in a few. Sigh. Will be robotically counting the moments till I can return.
	3:16pm TDK60: Hello Fabio, in Queens.
	👻 3:17pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Kinski did Harambe!
	3:17pm Mister Dobalina: Fabio, you're not far from me, or me from you. Woodside in da house!
	👻 3:17pm Rev. Turnip Druid: th'FLOAT.
	3:18pm Mister Dobalina: The Thursday line up on FMU is by far my favorite of any other day! Back to back greatness!
	3:19pm morphe': Lix and all.. Kinski.. snippet attached https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WGiK1Hj8xw
	3:19pm Mister Dobalina: Today is Thursday, right?
	3:19pm spodiodi: trash got picked up yesterday, so, yes
	3:22pm slugluv1313: ahhh -- SPROCKETS! :)
	3:22pm Yes: james is right
	3:23pm slugluv1313: and we are all named Dieter and Helmut
	3:23pm McGroovey: I recalibrate my mind-calendar at 11am Saturday morning (9am if I wake up early enough). I lose track of who's on which day during the week, but I'm sure of who's on Saturday morning.
	3:23pm Mennlinn Rebarts: RIP Florian. Thanks, Irwin!
	3:24pm Mennlinn Rebarts: Sorry Fabio :/
	3:24pm McGroovey: Well, I'm sure about Friday afternoon, also, actually. But all the other days confuse me.
	3:24pm listener james from westwood: For a minute, I took that as Irwin had iced Florian, and you know, I wouldn't put it past him on a bad day.
	3:26pm Mennlinn Rebarts: I just don't know what day it is.
	3:27pm brainiac: @ Lixiviated Life: After Ken's show this week I added Herzog's "Deranged Penguin" to my drop-ins.
	3:27pm morphe': Lis...James - Irwin has cat claws but he does not carry a shiv...
	3:27pm Mr. Pumpy: I'm getting work done with the headphones on, and I had to come back and see what this is. This is amazing! I wonder if the label Toanfloat got their name from this.
	3:29pm Lixiviated Life: @Morphe @3:16 @RevTurnipDruid @ 3:17 I did see BURDEN OF DREAMS. I think the movie would not have the same quality if it were made with Jason Robarts & Mick Jagger. Kinsky brings the piquant spice of danger and madness.
	👻 3:29pm chresti: I feel like it's been a long extended holiday, with nothing open and nowhere to go.
	3:30pm mariano: Hey Fabio, crew, everyone!
	3:30pm daley: she just asked me if I was playing q*bert
	3:30pm Lixiviated Life: @brainiac @ 3:27 Does the penguin equal the performance of the zombie iguana from Bad Lieutenant New Orleans?
	3:30pm morphe': Lix - who was to kill who ?? Kinski was threatening Herzog???
	3:31pm TDK60: Hi Chresti. Been somewhat difficult here recently.
	3:31pm efd: you are not mistaken, Fabio
	3:31pm listener james from westwood: morphe': And some tribesmen told Herzog they'd snuff Kinski if he wanted, but he demurred, saying he needed K to finish the film.
	3:31pm spodiodi: amen, Fabio
	👻 3:31pm Rev. Turnip Druid: that Kinski/Herzog doc My Best Friend was beyond hilarious.
	3:32pm Lixiviated Life: Morphe @3:30 See Herzog's "My Best Friend" to delve into his relationship w/ Kinski
	3:32pm Monica: Yes, it was "Tran Europe Express" on "Planet Rock."
	3:32pm Mr. Pumpy: Ahhh, I see. The organisation was Schneider and Hütte before forming Kraftwerk. williesaid.blogspot.com...
	3:32pm spodiodi: yeah it was, Rev., Lix
	3:32pm Lixiviated Life: Rev TD You are a quick typist
	3:32pm Mr. Pumpy: mariano...how are ya?
	👻 3:33pm Bas NL: It's a great album.
	3:33pm Mr. Pumpy: That album was only pressed once as far as I can find. It can be yours for $3,000!
	👻 3:33pm chresti: TDK, sorry to hear, did you apply for unemployment?
	3:34pm Mr. Pumpy: hey chresti
	3:35pm Lixiviated Life: "Fitzcarraldo" & "Apocalypse Now" seem to be one of those "separated at birth" things. No?
	👻 3:36pm Rev. Turnip Druid: th'CON.
	👻 3:36pm chresti: Hi Pumpy
	3:38pm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm: Helllllllo
	3:39pm morphe': In the late 60s - early 70s - BMW stood for Badder Meinhof Wagen - that was their favorite stolen car .. Great Book about the origins of the German Red Brigades: Bommi Bauman :How It All Began (English might be "terror or love" Wie Alles Beginnt[sp???] free on line if ya dig around.. Must go for a Madrid stroll before curfew... Thanks Fabio and all..
	3:40pm brainiac: @3:30 Lixiviated Life: I had to go watch the scene and now I'm more confused. A restrained performance by Nicolas Cage? Up is down, black is white.
	3:41pm jim from wood ridge NJ: Nice Can cover!
	3:41pm mariano: Hey Mr. Pumpy, I'm good thanks. Howzit with you?
	3:42pm brainiac: Wasn't that the movie where Cage emerges from behind a door to scream and gnash at an old lady in a wheelchair, pinching off her oxygen supply?
	3:43pm Monica: wondering if there was ever a white act to have as huge an impact on hip-hop music as kraftwerk.
	3:44pm Mr. Pumpy: mariano, yeah...hanging in. About to do a liquor store run. That is good and bad!
	3:45pm Yes: this is wonderful
	3:45pm TDK60: Chresti, working on taxes, job hunt, unemployment. Some family probs, tenant issues. But I have the Sun in my window and WFMU.
	3:48pm Lixiviated Life: @ brainiac N Cage is all over the place in that movie. I don't want to spoil anything. You might want to watch it.
	3:48pm Dave in Vermont: I love Bad Lieutenant Port of Call New Orleans; give us the kibble
	3:49pm Lixiviated Life: @Dave in Vt "Shoot him again. His soul is still dancing."
	3:49pm JohnEBGood: Love your show and I have been listening for years. Stay healthy, safe, and sane ; )
	3:51pm Mr. Pumpy: Fabio, this is an amazing run of tunes right here! Gracias
	👻 3:52pm chresti: TDK60,if you haven't already, I urge you to apply for unemployment ASAP, online is easy, you should get 600 dollars a week in addition to what your weekly benefit would be.
	3:53pm Mr. Pumpy: I heard Nicholas Cage is going to play that tiger guy from the Netflix doc in a scripted series. That shit may go to H.I. McDunnough territory.
	3:54pm brainiac: Brilliant casting
	3:55pm Handy Haversack: He's a little outlaw, he is. Back! What'd I miss?
	👻 3:56pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Lovely stuff. Shogun Kunitoki = a new name to this brain.
	3:57pm TDK60: Thanks for the advice Chresti. // I still have my old LP of "Autobahn" by Kraftwerk. Plays well.
	3:57pm WM: Hall of Mirrors: the only Kraftwork song I genuinely like.
	3:57pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Mariano! How have you been? Sorry to hear about your local DJ.
	3:58pm listener: fabio, these last three tracks have been blowing my mind. the sludge machine, oh man.
	3:59pm Mr. Pumpy: No, he...he's a good boy!
	3:59pm Photocopy Cha Cha: @3:56 Rev. Turnip Druid: had no idea about it either. From Finland it turns out, and on Fonal, the label that has introduced many to Paavoharju, Kemialliset Ystävät, Islaja, Lau Nau etc.
	4:02pm Photocopy Cha Cha: I prefer the german version (Spiegelsaal), it would sit very easily into a Fassbinder movie. He did use Radio-activity on a couple of movies/series, at least Chinese Roulette and Berlin Alexanderplatz come to mind.
	4:03pm Mr. Pumpy: Master mix!
	4:05pm brainiac: @Fabio: Careful, no cursing on the air
	4:05pm sufferwords: used Hall of Mirrors for student film at LACC - soon after release- Kraftwerk and Stranglers essential in the formation of our new ‘punk’ attitude
	4:05pm spodiodi: my friends call me "Hi"
	4:06pm Mr. Pumpy: Turn to the RIGHT!
	👻 4:07pm Rev. Turnip Druid: corvettes! we had that in DC as well.
	4:07pm Chris from DC: Oh wow, Korvette's, yeah.
	👻 4:07pm Rev. Turnip Druid: or was it Korvette's with a K... yeh, what Toad said.
	4:08pm redkayak: We had Korvettes outside Chicago too
	4:08pm Chris from DC: Yep, with a K as I recall.
	4:08pm slugluv1313: yes! KORVETEEEEEES!!!!! same here in NJ -- a surprisingly extensive imports section :)
	4:09pm mariano: Hi Handy! Been good thanks, hope all's well with you. Yeah, RIP Midnight Creeper, another one of the greats is gone. Virus better not touch Rare on the Air. I really with WOZ had the means to keep a perpetual archive instead of just a two-week one.
	4:10pm Dave in Vermont: Give Me Back My Man
	4:10pm Rob: Fabio I saw it recently too! Felt much the same way
	4:11pm Handy Haversack: Pretty good here, Mariano! Watching the birds feed and the dog sleep in the sun. Work week is over, and one more supply run (liquor store) should set us up for another couple of weeks. So not too shabby!
	4:11pm Rob: disagree that they're not good
	4:14pm V Priceless: sounds great, Fab!
	4:14pm Mister Dobalina: FMU signal is possessed today.
	4:14pm Tim In SF: Korvettes at the Willowbrook Mall in the 70's
	4:15pm spodiodi: thanks for being alive, and putting up with the technohassles, Fabio!
	4:17pm Andy M.: Thank you for doing what you do, Fabio.
	4:28pm nic: love this !!!
	4:30pm Gialli: https://www.shudder.com/movies/watch/tenebrae/6b6827393456bc29
	4:39pm Sen. Sohr: I'm sorry, did I just hear you exclaim "that song is ONE FUCKING TRACK! " ?
	👻 4:39pm Threemoons: Hello Fabio, fellow Failures...
	4:40pm efd: if only we could pat them on the back...
	4:40pm Handy Haversack: Gotta get some errandry runned. Thanks, Fabio! Great sounds. Thanks, Matt! Take it easy, everyone. Catch you later.
	4:41pm brainiac: @Handy: Get twice as much liquor as you think you'll need.
	4:42pm WM: Minsey farmer
	👻 4:42pm chresti: See ya Handy!
	4:44pm WM: Mimsy (no e) Farmer
	4:44pm TDK60: Stay safe Handy.
	4:44pm Chris from DC: Yay, Omit!
	4:46pm WM: She was in Riot on Sunset Strip. First name from a character in a Lewis Carol poem
	4:47pm Greg: Is it cinefob?
	4:48pm Dave in Vermont: cinephobe.tv
	4:49pm brainiac: Can anyone tell what the difference is between these two sites? www.gofundme.com... Is this one Canadian? ca.gofundme.com...
	4:50pm Itzall Tumánnio: Best song title ever, or at least best one this year. O.M.I.T.
	4:55pm Ochre Ogre: Ciao Fabio, grazie for the cinephobe info. Indeed, The Skeleton Crew deserve a big thank you party!
	👻 4:55pm chresti: The Canadian one shows the donor's names and amounts.
	4:55pm listener phillip 66 days in quarintine: omg so sad to hear about kraftwerk's Florian. I love kraftwerk I have every album on my ipod touch
	4:55pm Mister Dobalina: Spooky time w/ Fabio.
	4:56pm Mister Dobalina: Could really go for some indian buffet.
	👻 4:58pm Bas NL: A good spirit shared this link on the comments board before. Florian Schneider: www.theguardian.com...
	4:59pm morphe': I am a news geekn- going to NPR..... Carry on Jeeves and all..
	5:00pm listener phillip 66 days in quarintine: wow I'm still in shock like David Bowie. kraftwerk were pioneers on electronica
	👻 5:02pm Rev. Turnip Druid: This is very, very good.
	👻 5:02pm Ken From Hyde Park: RIP Brian Howe from Bad Company, age 66.
	5:02pm listener phillip 66 days in quarantine: did I mention 66 days in quarintine! strangers from the food bank bang on my door and leave me boxes of food,
	5:04pm coelacanth∅: (what the Rev.said) ...rest in peace Brian Howe.
	5:06pm Shane Braindrain: Evening all - late arriving tonight, I’ve been out watching the Moon rise! Awesome sight, all orange!
	5:06pm coelacanth∅: (...though i'll admit i probably never have heard him sing and never heard his name before)
	👻 5:09pm Rev. Turnip Druid: YASS. The favorite Kraftwerk LP, here.
	5:10pm Thursday Fernworthy: RIP Florian
	👻 5:10pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Seems like everyone is all about Autobahn but this one was the super winner in this brain.
	5:11pm Rich in Washington: What's going on?
	5:11pm Mister Dobalina: Cut off right at, ..radio. I like.
	5:12pm disantlor: agreed @Rev
	5:12pm =======: Do you recall Autobahn in 1975?
	5:14pm coelacanth∅: autobahn was the first for a lot of people, i think (like myself) but i was very into the man machine and europe endless long before i heard radio activity. it's hard to be fair when i have formidable years attachment to those other 2.
	5:14pm coelacanth∅: ...(i mean trans-europe express)
	5:15pm Rich in Washington: i knew about Kraftwerk as a teen and would hear them on my local community radio station but my first album was Autobahn on 8-Track Quad. I bought it and the player at a garage sale.
	5:16pm Hubig Pie: The failure of Krautrock ? Is this by design ? My stream is schizophrenic
	5:16pm Rich in Washington: I still anticipate that ka-CHUNK! right in the middle of Autobahn and one of the Kometenmelodies to this day.
	5:17pm =======: Drop outs weren't this frequent for Pseu
	👻 5:17pm Bas NL: Fabio, we keep loosing the connection on and off.. Are you browsing/downloading or something?
	5:18pm TDK60: Fabio it sounds like Terry Riley and Kraftwerk are interspersing. [?]
	5:18pm =======: Fabio can make it work thankfully
	5:19pm disantlor: did anyone else hear the incoming mail sound and check?
	5:19pm coelacanth∅: i must've heard autobahn (in it's entirety) via wnew-fm, pre-1978, when that station wasn't a total lost cause yet.
	5:19pm dale: GREAT show fabio! loving this. sounds like some popul vuh influence in here.
	5:20pm dale: on the droning choral voices sound anyway...
	5:20pm ParUbi: Hey everyone, how is the Thursday?
	5:21pm coelacanth∅: disantlor i did, i guess...i thought it was coming from someone's device here!
	5:21pm Rich in Washington: Funny you should mention, dismantlor - I listen to WFMU and its streams on my Roku device and I always hear notification 'donk' sounds on it. I used to think it was programmers leaving their notification sounds enabled, but now believe it's a defect of Roku's software or firmware.
	5:21pm Dave Miss: It’s too bad Florian had to pass away to hear more kraftwerk on here
	👻 5:22pm Rev. Turnip Druid: around 1981 there was a PBS show about the Bold New Technology of the day called Computer Chronicles -- i recall it used Kraftwerk in the titles & that turned on a bunch of folks my age to the tunes...
	5:22pm Rich in Washington: But yeah, notification sounds other than that - I am hearing them occasionally.
	5:22pm coelacanth∅: ...and yes, Fabio -it's cutting out quite a lot, and we've lost man-machine entirely
	5:22pm coelacanth∅: oh it's coming up again
	👻 5:22pm Rev. Turnip Druid: @Rich -- I get the donk sound when I stream via Roku as well. At first I thought it was DJ multitasking on laptops, then it was too consistent...
	5:23pm brainiac: Regarding "o.m.i.t." I'll be darned if I can find any indication that the name is an acronym or even appears with periods in his covers/liner notes.
	👻 5:23pm chresti: A Kraftwerk medley.
	5:24pm disantlor: theres a lot of good alternate doinks in Man Machine apparently... im not using roku, just streaming directly, so not sure its a Roku thing
	👻 5:24pm Threemoons: Still working. Popping in to say that I am BUMMED on all kinds of levels because I actually scored 2nd row center orchestra seats to see Kraftwerk in June at Radio City and I guarantee you the show now REALLY isn't happening...
	5:24pm Dave in Vermont: Rich I get it too- i use tune-in and my guess is that if i paid for tune-in premium i would no longer get that noise
	5:25pm slugluv1313: @ coelacantho -- yes, same here -- was growing up in central suburbs of NJ, no money to buy records -- but i do recall WNEW giving Kraftwerk decent airplay -- and, the local county library had their records!
	5:25pm coelacanth∅: (it's not a roku thing. at least not in this case)
	5:25pm Rich in Washington: @RTD: I've tried contacting Roku support and consulting Roku forums but no one's responded. I actually wonder if it's the wifi remote talking to the unit. I might try taking the batteries out to see if the problem persists.
	5:26pm Rich in Washington: uh oh!
	5:26pm coelacanth∅: the failure of strength through failure!
	5:27pm common: fabio, all. we are show room dummies.
	👻 5:27pm Ken From Hyde Park: strengthening
	5:27pm Rich in Washington: I hear ya, coelacanth∅. Occasionally hear DJ's computer notification sounds on the streams.
	5:28pm Jackie: @threemoons I had row 4
	5:28pm dale: it's all good - i'd rather hear fabio from home with a few dropouts than not at all.
	5:28pm Hubig Pie: They broke the glass and then kaput
	5:28pm McGroovey: I'm listening over the air, and I think I'm hearing different extraneous sounds from the ones the streamers are hearing. My guess is there's an on-and-off problem with Fabio's connection to WFMU.
	5:28pm coelacanth∅: what the hell?! this is like when millenials play music!
	5:28pm Rich in Washington: I had Einsturzende Neubauten tickets and their US tour has been permanently cancelled.
	👻 5:28pm chresti: I like Sr. Coconut's version of this.
	5:29pm Rich in Washington: @coelacanthø! HA!
	👻 5:29pm Bas NL: @coel: Pffww.. hi,hi, hi!
	5:29pm ParUbi: The world operated its calculator only to divide by 0.
	5:29pm McGroovey: Well, anyway, most of us can probably recreate this Kraftwerk playlist at home from our own collections. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
	5:30pm TDK60: We're still having fun and it's working most of the time..
	5:30pm McGroovey: I actually like the randomness factor in this, so I ain't complainin'.
	5:31pm Webhamster Henry: Hi Fabio! The glitching ads to the coputery-aesthetic!
	👻 5:31pm chresti: Yes, having fun, we are.
	5:31pm Hubig Pie: Sr. Coconut's jalopy stalled out on the Autobahn
	5:31pm Ochre Ogre: @dale- Right, big time on the Popul Vuh sound.
	5:31pm brainiac: I have no cccomplaints.
	5:32pm TDK60: C'mon let's take off...
	5:32pm =======: Ha!
	5:32pm Fragonard: A very sad day, indeed
	5:32pm spodiodi: glitchy glitchy ya ya fabi
	5:32pm Dave in Vermont: that's not buffering, it's our programing
	👻 5:33pm mrdonutsu: No glitches. Just the machines in charge - as it should be for this!
	5:33pm Dave in Vermont: loving every minute
	5:33pm Fragonard: I hope Florian is sufficiently buffered
	5:33pm spodiodi: Florian is pulling the strings
	5:34pm spodiodi: same, Dave
	5:34pm TDK60: Y'all can over my apt. and listen to the Autobahn LP record while we sip tea. Oh forgot, gotta wait a while...
	5:34pm lukas: I think the power is down. Someone check the POWER STATION!
	5:34pm Matt Warwick: Hey guys! We're having major connection problems today. TRYIN' MAH BEST IN HERE
	5:35pm dale: i blame verizon.
	5:35pm =======: Fabio you rule, man
	👻 5:35pm Bas NL: Don't worry Matt. Only happy customers here!
	5:36pm Chop Scott: Fabio & Matt! Hang in there, rough streaming today.
	5:36pm Dave Miss: Hubig’s Pies are back?!? Bring back old wnew too!
	5:36pm TDK60: Matt, If all else fails you can rush into the library and grab some Kraftwerk LPs. (Maybe you already did?)
	5:37pm Benjamin Kracauer: Thank you, Fabio, for this great tribute
	5:37pm slugluv1313: @ dale -- yes, same here! so grateful, Fabio -- glitches and all!
	5:37pm Rich in Washington: It's like when you get lost in a strange city and keep accidentally getting on the expressway to the Autobahn.
	5:38pm Crudbringer: aww yeah... too nice outside not to go for a skizzate but I will rewind this archive... got my new sizzoundsystem with wizoofers made of steel to rockit...
	5:39pm jeanli: heavenly machinenery!!
	5:39pm Carmichael: Heya Fabs und Leuten. Got here just in time for the Schneider homage!
	👻 5:39pm chresti: Thanks Matt! Is it windy?
	5:39pm coelacanth∅: TDK put your speakers in the windows and we'll gather outside, spaced appropriately
	5:40pm Model Citizen: I had the pleasure of attending the Autobahn tour in US.After the concert over a few beers they proclaimed admiration of K.Stockhausen.R.I.P Florian
	5:41pm McGroovey: Durnit, Crudbringer, now you've planted Herbie Hancock's Rock It in my head, and my brain is mixing it with the Kraftwerk. It works, but it's not what I wanted.
	👻 5:41pm chresti: I can listen on the phone @TDK
	5:42pm Ochre Ogre: That reminded me of back in the day trying to set my receiver antenna every which way to pick up a fuzzy signal of FMU.
	5:42pm Crudbringer: the incredible dancing robot pants
	5:43pm coelacanth∅: i have to get back outside now anyway, and fix some machinery. not man-machinery; just machinery. (...man's waste-of-resources machinery) (a wood chipper) Thanks Fabio, and Matt and all y'all
	5:44pm brainiac: @Carmichael: It's just hot enough for a Fresca and gin cocktail today, no?
	5:44pm Shane Braindrain: Fabulous mix of Kraftwerk inspired music, most influential band since The Beatles?
	5:45pm Rich in Washington: @coelacanth∅: we're slaves to machinery, and not the other way 'round. I remember reading an article about Kraftwerk when I was a teen and that was their central message.
	5:45pm TDK60: Model Citizen: That's very fitting and groovy that they liked Stockhausen, I figure.
	5:45pm spodiodi: see you next time, coelacanth
	👻 5:45pm Bas NL: Doing The Robot Dance
	5:46pm Handy Haversack: Made it back for the end times! This has been great music for stowing liquor to Fabio! We got some Averna in your honor.
	5:46pm Itzall Tumánnio: "The Robots", still one of my favorites of theirs. Never gets old, does it?
	5:46pm Ike: Frankly, this is the problem with management having a fetish for absolutely 100% live radio instead of settling for a prerecorded show from a few hours ago that would play more reliably. A lot of DJs' home internet connections are just not up to it. Oh well.
	👻 5:47pm Threemoons: @coelocanth yep had those tix also. Glad I at least got to see Heilung in January. I suppose Wardruna in the Fall will be cancelled...
	5:47pm Photocopy Cha Cha: The first two albums are so underrated, especially by Kraftwerk! I don't know what to make of Ralf Hütter's claim Florian Schneider was not very involved for years prior to his departure from Kraftwerk.
	👻 5:47pm chris: Ike, i was listening to an archive this morn. had same problem. its a problem on the streaming server or upstream from there, me thinks.
	👻 5:47pm Threemoons: @Jackie sigh, yeah, I know...right?
	5:48pm Choggie: Ich habe meinen Heimcomputer so programmiert, dass er mich in die Zukunft strahlt Send feedback History Saved Community Read a sign in another language, instantly. NO THANKSTRY THE APP
	5:49pm Choggie: Ooops
	5:49pm Ike: @chris, really? Huh, I haven't had any problems with archives, but admittedly I haven't listened to very many lately, except for the excellent Polyglot with jesse D., a show y'all should totally check out BTW!
	👻 5:50pm Bas NL: I think it was Ralf always claiming they were 'Muzik Arbeiter' and Florian then always countered: No, no, Ralf! I'm not a music worker!!
	👻 5:50pm chris: Ike, after i posted, i thought... hmmm. maybe those cut outs in the archive were live, too... and thanks for the tip on Polyglot!
	5:51pm Photocopy Cha Cha: @5:50 Bas NL: well I did not know this.
	5:51pm Photocopy Cha Cha: btw are the organization/tone float re-releases official?
	5:51pm Crudbringer: Ho Lee Shit. I never realized the Newton's Apple theme was a Florian jam.
	👻 5:52pm Rev. Turnip Druid: YESSIR, this was the one Computer Chronicles used. Ruckzuck.
	5:52pm Rich in Washington: Ideally, if the DJ records their live show while streaming, the archive can be replaced with a version without the skips, stalls in it.
	👻 5:52pm Rev. Turnip Druid: or is my memory destroyed? Was it Newton's Apple? jeezus
	5:52pm Crudbringer: God I miss funded public media.
	5:53pm markinbrooklyn: I'll put up with glitches for live radio any day... Keep up the good work, Fabio! (and sorry about the american internet)
	5:53pm Rich in Washington: I must confess that I am relatively unfamiliar with the two albums prior to Autobahn.
	5:53pm common: goddamn. love.
	5:53pm slater: With ira Flatow!
	5:54pm Photocopy Cha Cha: @5:53 Rich in Washington: you mean kraftwerk 2 and ralf und florian? cos there are 3 before autobahn
	5:54pm Carmichael: Thsi is totally awesome. Back to my stoner days in the Air Force.
	5:54pm Rich in Washington: I actually prefer live shows to pre-recorded shows. Don't get me wrong; some people make great pre-recorded shows, but I just prefer freeform shows myself.
	5:55pm Rich in Washington: Yeah, Photocopy, also Ralf and Florian. I meant three. Was just thinking of those two eponymous albums, which I've never owned.
	5:55pm Photocopy Cha Cha: this was the memorial music to Tomasz Hostnik (Laibach) when his death was announced on the radio
	5:56pm Handy Haversack: This live radio is gorgeous. I am deeply grateful. Thanks, Fabio, Matt, Skeleton Army.
	5:56pm Hubig Pie: I gonna have jagerschnitzel, swabian kartoffelsalat, and gurkensalat for dinner
	👻 5:57pm chresti: Thanks Fabio!
	5:57pm Dave Miss: This has been awesome
	5:58pm TDK60: Fabio, we still had fun. Despite those newfangled machines.
	5:58pm Rich in Washington: That's hilarious, Photocopy! I was just typing something about that when you posted that! I have that record. I think it was censored from later releases.
	5:58pm brainiac: Much appreciated, Fabio
	5:58pm spodiodi: thanks, Fabio!
	5:58pm Corey: Thanks Fabio for the great show, especially this tribute set!
	👻 5:58pm Bas NL: Thank you, thank you, thank you Fabio and fortress keepers!
	5:59pm Rich in Washington: Great show, Fabio!
	5:59pm Photocopy Cha Cha: @5:58 Rich in Washington: censored? weird. it is also on the 80s doc about them (Laibach sanctioned I suppose)
	5:59pm Jackie: @Threemoons this time last year I was looking forward to Bryan Ferry at Radio City, but then I got a brain tumor :/
	5:59pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, Matt!
	5:59pm Ike: @rich, I'm just referring to the method of production (of 3-hour freeform shows) during the pandemic, not anything else. Not talking about specialty shows vs. non-specialty shows.
	5:59pm Mike tp: thank YOU FABIO...
	5:59pm Photocopy Cha Cha: Thank you mr. Jackpot (you see I have been watching Twin Peaks)
	6:00pm Rich in Washington: It was on Baptism, the original LP, but cut out of later releases.
	6:00pm Crudbringer: ty FABIO you are the man-machine
	6:00pm Photocopy Cha Cha: @6:00 Rich in Washington: thanks for telling me, you learn something new every day
	6:00pm Ike: Thanks Fabio et al.!
	6:00pm mariano: Thanks Fabio and crew, take care everyone!
	6:01pm ultradamno: RIP Florian
	6:01pm Ochre Ogre: Maybe interference from that pic posted of a transformer. Lol Thanks Fabio & Matt!
	6:01pm Jackie: Thanks Fabio! Thanks Matt!
	6:12pm slugluv1313: thanks again, Fabio!
	12:30am Anthony: This show has always supported Kraftwerk's great music. Florian was a genius who influenced most popular music of the past 40 years yet most people have never even heard of him. Thanks for the great radio show over the years.
	8:46pm Doctor B.: I can always trust you to deliver amazing music each and every show. Bowie, Schnitzler and the late, great Florian Schneider from Kraftwerk (rock in peace, Florian!)

	👻 3:04pm Bas NL: Hi Fabio!
	3:05pm Mr. Pumpy: Hi-Ho, Fabio! Let the failure begin...
	3:05pm Handy Haversack: Hi, Fabio and all the Fab Failures! Party time in Giant Land!
	👻 3:05pm mrdonutsu: So much failing, we're gonna' all get tired of failing*!
	👻 3:05pm mrdonutsu: *Not possible.
	👻 3:05pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Welcome to the Future™
	👻 3:06pm chresti: Ho ho Fabio! Hi all in giant land!

	3:08pm spodiodi: hi Fabio! failures
	3:08pm Itzall Tumánnio: Appropriate. Rest in silicon, Florian.
	3:08pm listener james from westwood: Sad to lose Schneider, but I know he was remembered and valued on this show and station long before his passing.
	3:09pm Dave in Vermont: oh nice, I've really had David Bowie on my mind this week
	3:09pm slugluv1313: good afternoon, Fabio and everyone! thanks so much -- yes, Rest in Peace, dear Florian -- my heart hurts
	3:10pm McGroovey: @DaveInVermont I need to get my glasses check. I read that first as "...Bowie on my back..." which raised (raises?) all sorts of questions.
	👻 3:11pm Ken From Hyde Park: Help keep failure alive and kicking: www.gofundme.com...
	3:11pm McGroovey: *-ed
	3:11pm brainiac: Hello again everyone. What route does one take to get to Cloudland?
	3:11pm McGroovey: @brainiac I think you've found it.
	3:11pm Lixiviated Life: Failure is an option
	3:12pm WoodsOfNH: Is it just me or has it taken 9 days to get to Thursday?
	3:12pm Stanley: @brainiac - follow the cuckoo
	3:12pm morphe': Bah Humbug!!!! Sorry just trying to fit in.. Wearing a hat - yet but with a wee brim - no threats to Fabs...
	3:13pm spodiodi: it's just beyond the old failurewerks
	👻 3:13pm Bas NL: Krautnodding
	3:13pm Peter from Dover NJ: Hello Fabio and everyone. So far, 2020 is a fail as to being a party year. This record is gonna make me fail at avoiding spending money on records.
	3:14pm Lixiviated Life: This Krautwerk segues nicely with my recent Werner Herzog binge.
	3:15pm Lixiviated Life: Fitzcarraldo was framed !
	3:15pm listener james from westwood: Now is the time on Sprockets when we cry one single, stern, Teutonic tear.
	3:16pm morphe': Lix- did ya see the Doc - somebody was going tokill somebody - the white haired actor lost his mind - yes??no??yes??? I'll look it up..
	👻 3:16pm Bas NL: The Neu virus..
	3:16pm Handy Haversack: Very nice. Robotschmertz. Going to have to duck out for a call in a few. Sigh. Will be robotically counting the moments till I can return.
	3:16pm TDK60: Hello Fabio, in Queens.
	👻 3:17pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Kinski did Harambe!
	3:17pm Mister Dobalina: Fabio, you're not far from me, or me from you. Woodside in da house!
	👻 3:17pm Rev. Turnip Druid: th'FLOAT.
	3:18pm Mister Dobalina: The Thursday line up on FMU is by far my favorite of any other day! Back to back greatness!
	3:19pm morphe': Lix and all.. Kinski.. snippet attached https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WGiK1Hj8xw
	3:19pm Mister Dobalina: Today is Thursday, right?
	3:19pm spodiodi: trash got picked up yesterday, so, yes
	3:22pm slugluv1313: ahhh -- SPROCKETS! :)
	3:22pm Yes: james is right
	3:23pm slugluv1313: and we are all named Dieter and Helmut
	3:23pm McGroovey: I recalibrate my mind-calendar at 11am Saturday morning (9am if I wake up early enough). I lose track of who's on which day during the week, but I'm sure of who's on Saturday morning.
	3:23pm Mennlinn Rebarts: RIP Florian. Thanks, Irwin!
	3:24pm Mennlinn Rebarts: Sorry Fabio :/
	3:24pm McGroovey: Well, I'm sure about Friday afternoon, also, actually. But all the other days confuse me.
	3:24pm listener james from westwood: For a minute, I took that as Irwin had iced Florian, and you know, I wouldn't put it past him on a bad day.
	3:26pm Mennlinn Rebarts: I just don't know what day it is.
	3:27pm brainiac: @ Lixiviated Life: After Ken's show this week I added Herzog's "Deranged Penguin" to my drop-ins.
	3:27pm morphe': Lis...James - Irwin has cat claws but he does not carry a shiv...
	3:27pm Mr. Pumpy: I'm getting work done with the headphones on, and I had to come back and see what this is. This is amazing! I wonder if the label Toanfloat got their name from this.
	3:29pm Lixiviated Life: @Morphe @3:16 @RevTurnipDruid @ 3:17 I did see BURDEN OF DREAMS. I think the movie would not have the same quality if it were made with Jason Robarts & Mick Jagger. Kinsky brings the piquant spice of danger and madness.
	👻 3:29pm chresti: I feel like it's been a long extended holiday, with nothing open and nowhere to go.
	3:30pm mariano: Hey Fabio, crew, everyone!
	3:30pm daley: she just asked me if I was playing q*bert
	3:30pm Lixiviated Life: @brainiac @ 3:27 Does the penguin equal the performance of the zombie iguana from Bad Lieutenant New Orleans?
	3:30pm morphe': Lix - who was to kill who ?? Kinski was threatening Herzog???
	3:31pm TDK60: Hi Chresti. Been somewhat difficult here recently.
	3:31pm efd: you are not mistaken, Fabio
	3:31pm listener james from westwood: morphe': And some tribesmen told Herzog they'd snuff Kinski if he wanted, but he demurred, saying he needed K to finish the film.
	3:31pm spodiodi: amen, Fabio
	👻 3:31pm Rev. Turnip Druid: that Kinski/Herzog doc My Best Friend was beyond hilarious.
	3:32pm Lixiviated Life: Morphe @3:30 See Herzog's "My Best Friend" to delve into his relationship w/ Kinski
	3:32pm Monica: Yes, it was "Tran Europe Express" on "Planet Rock."
	3:32pm Mr. Pumpy: Ahhh, I see. The organisation was Schneider and Hütte before forming Kraftwerk. williesaid.blogspot.com...
	3:32pm spodiodi: yeah it was, Rev., Lix
	3:32pm Lixiviated Life: Rev TD You are a quick typist
	3:32pm Mr. Pumpy: mariano...how are ya?
	👻 3:33pm Bas NL: It's a great album.
	3:33pm Mr. Pumpy: That album was only pressed once as far as I can find. It can be yours for $3,000!
	👻 3:33pm chresti: TDK, sorry to hear, did you apply for unemployment?
	3:34pm Mr. Pumpy: hey chresti
	3:35pm Lixiviated Life: "Fitzcarraldo" & "Apocalypse Now" seem to be one of those "separated at birth" things. No?
	👻 3:36pm Rev. Turnip Druid: th'CON.
	👻 3:36pm chresti: Hi Pumpy
	3:38pm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm: Helllllllo
	3:39pm morphe': In the late 60s - early 70s - BMW stood for Badder Meinhof Wagen - that was their favorite stolen car .. Great Book about the origins of the German Red Brigades: Bommi Bauman :How It All Began (English might be "terror or love" Wie Alles Beginnt[sp???] free on line if ya dig around.. Must go for a Madrid stroll before curfew... Thanks Fabio and all..
	3:40pm brainiac: @3:30 Lixiviated Life: I had to go watch the scene and now I'm more confused. A restrained performance by Nicolas Cage? Up is down, black is white.
	3:41pm jim from wood ridge NJ: Nice Can cover!
	3:41pm mariano: Hey Mr. Pumpy, I'm good thanks. Howzit with you?
	3:42pm brainiac: Wasn't that the movie where Cage emerges from behind a door to scream and gnash at an old lady in a wheelchair, pinching off her oxygen supply?
	3:43pm Monica: wondering if there was ever a white act to have as huge an impact on hip-hop music as kraftwerk.
	3:44pm Mr. Pumpy: mariano, yeah...hanging in. About to do a liquor store run. That is good and bad!
	3:45pm Yes: this is wonderful
	3:45pm TDK60: Chresti, working on taxes, job hunt, unemployment. Some family probs, tenant issues. But I have the Sun in my window and WFMU.
	3:48pm Lixiviated Life: @ brainiac N Cage is all over the place in that movie. I don't want to spoil anything. You might want to watch it.
	3:48pm Dave in Vermont: I love Bad Lieutenant Port of Call New Orleans; give us the kibble
	3:49pm Lixiviated Life: @Dave in Vt "Shoot him again. His soul is still dancing."
	3:49pm JohnEBGood: Love your show and I have been listening for years. Stay healthy, safe, and sane ; )
	3:51pm Mr. Pumpy: Fabio, this is an amazing run of tunes right here! Gracias
	👻 3:52pm chresti: TDK60,if you haven't already, I urge you to apply for unemployment ASAP, online is easy, you should get 600 dollars a week in addition to what your weekly benefit would be.
	3:53pm Mr. Pumpy: I heard Nicholas Cage is going to play that tiger guy from the Netflix doc in a scripted series. That shit may go to H.I. McDunnough territory.
	3:54pm brainiac: Brilliant casting
	3:55pm Handy Haversack: He's a little outlaw, he is. Back! What'd I miss?
	👻 3:56pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Lovely stuff. Shogun Kunitoki = a new name to this brain.
	3:57pm TDK60: Thanks for the advice Chresti. // I still have my old LP of "Autobahn" by Kraftwerk. Plays well.
	3:57pm WM: Hall of Mirrors: the only Kraftwork song I genuinely like.
	3:57pm Handy Haversack: Hey, Mariano! How have you been? Sorry to hear about your local DJ.
	3:58pm listener: fabio, these last three tracks have been blowing my mind. the sludge machine, oh man.
	3:59pm Mr. Pumpy: No, he...he's a good boy!
	3:59pm Photocopy Cha Cha: @3:56 Rev. Turnip Druid: had no idea about it either. From Finland it turns out, and on Fonal, the label that has introduced many to Paavoharju, Kemialliset Ystävät, Islaja, Lau Nau etc.
	4:02pm Photocopy Cha Cha: I prefer the german version (Spiegelsaal), it would sit very easily into a Fassbinder movie. He did use Radio-activity on a couple of movies/series, at least Chinese Roulette and Berlin Alexanderplatz come to mind.
	4:03pm Mr. Pumpy: Master mix!
	4:05pm brainiac: @Fabio: Careful, no cursing on the air
	4:05pm sufferwords: used Hall of Mirrors for student film at LACC - soon after release- Kraftwerk and Stranglers essential in the formation of our new ‘punk’ attitude
	4:05pm spodiodi: my friends call me "Hi"
	4:06pm Mr. Pumpy: Turn to the RIGHT!
	👻 4:07pm Rev. Turnip Druid: corvettes! we had that in DC as well.
	4:07pm Chris from DC: Oh wow, Korvette's, yeah.
	👻 4:07pm Rev. Turnip Druid: or was it Korvette's with a K... yeh, what Toad said.
	4:08pm redkayak: We had Korvettes outside Chicago too
	4:08pm Chris from DC: Yep, with a K as I recall.
	4:08pm slugluv1313: yes! KORVETEEEEEES!!!!! same here in NJ -- a surprisingly extensive imports section :)
	4:09pm mariano: Hi Handy! Been good thanks, hope all's well with you. Yeah, RIP Midnight Creeper, another one of the greats is gone. Virus better not touch Rare on the Air. I really with WOZ had the means to keep a perpetual archive instead of just a two-week one.
	4:10pm Dave in Vermont: Give Me Back My Man
	4:10pm Rob: Fabio I saw it recently too! Felt much the same way
	4:11pm Handy Haversack: Pretty good here, Mariano! Watching the birds feed and the dog sleep in the sun. Work week is over, and one more supply run (liquor store) should set us up for another couple of weeks. So not too shabby!
	4:11pm Rob: disagree that they're not good
	4:14pm V Priceless: sounds great, Fab!
	4:14pm Mister Dobalina: FMU signal is possessed today.
	4:14pm Tim In SF: Korvettes at the Willowbrook Mall in the 70's

	👻 4:39pm Threemoons: Hello Fabio, fellow Failures...
	4:40pm efd: if only we could pat them on the back...
	4:40pm Handy Haversack: Gotta get some errandry runned. Thanks, Fabio! Great sounds. Thanks, Matt! Take it easy, everyone. Catch you later.
	4:41pm brainiac: @Handy: Get twice as much liquor as you think you'll need.
	4:42pm WM: Minsey farmer
	👻 4:42pm chresti: See ya Handy!
	4:44pm WM: Mimsy (no e) Farmer
	4:44pm TDK60: Stay safe Handy.
	4:44pm Chris from DC: Yay, Omit!
	4:46pm WM: She was in Riot on Sunset Strip. First name from a character in a Lewis Carol poem
	4:47pm Greg: Is it cinefob?
	4:48pm Dave in Vermont: cinephobe.tv
	4:49pm brainiac: Can anyone tell what the difference is between these two sites? www.gofundme.com... Is this one Canadian? ca.gofundme.com...
	4:50pm Itzall Tumánnio: Best song title ever, or at least best one this year. O.M.I.T.
	4:55pm Ochre Ogre: Ciao Fabio, grazie for the cinephobe info. Indeed, The Skeleton Crew deserve a big thank you party!
	👻 4:55pm chresti: The Canadian one shows the donor's names and amounts.
	4:55pm listener phillip 66 days in quarintine: omg so sad to hear about kraftwerk's Florian. I love kraftwerk I have every album on my ipod touch
	4:55pm Mister Dobalina: Spooky time w/ Fabio.
	4:56pm Mister Dobalina: Could really go for some indian buffet.
	👻 4:58pm Bas NL: A good spirit shared this link on the comments board before. Florian Schneider: www.theguardian.com...
	4:59pm morphe': I am a news geekn- going to NPR..... Carry on Jeeves and all..
	5:00pm listener phillip 66 days in quarintine: wow I'm still in shock like David Bowie. kraftwerk were pioneers on electronica
	👻 5:02pm Rev. Turnip Druid: This is very, very good.
	👻 5:02pm Ken From Hyde Park: RIP Brian Howe from Bad Company, age 66.
	5:02pm listener phillip 66 days in quarantine: did I mention 66 days in quarintine! strangers from the food bank bang on my door and leave me boxes of food,
	5:04pm coelacanth∅: (what the Rev.said) ...rest in peace Brian Howe.
	5:06pm Shane Braindrain: Evening all - late arriving tonight, I’ve been out watching the Moon rise! Awesome sight, all orange!
	5:06pm coelacanth∅: (...though i'll admit i probably never have heard him sing and never heard his name before)
	👻 5:09pm Rev. Turnip Druid: YASS. The favorite Kraftwerk LP, here.
	5:10pm Thursday Fernworthy: RIP Florian
	👻 5:10pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Seems like everyone is all about Autobahn but this one was the super winner in this brain.
	5:11pm Rich in Washington: What's going on?
	5:11pm Mister Dobalina: Cut off right at, ..radio. I like.
	5:12pm disantlor: agreed @Rev
	5:12pm =======: Do you recall Autobahn in 1975?
	5:14pm coelacanth∅: autobahn was the first for a lot of people, i think (like myself) but i was very into the man machine and europe endless long before i heard radio activity. it's hard to be fair when i have formidable years attachment to those other 2.
	5:14pm coelacanth∅: ...(i mean trans-europe express)
	5:15pm Rich in Washington: i knew about Kraftwerk as a teen and would hear them on my local community radio station but my first album was Autobahn on 8-Track Quad. I bought it and the player at a garage sale.
	5:16pm Hubig Pie: The failure of Krautrock ? Is this by design ? My stream is schizophrenic
	5:16pm Rich in Washington: I still anticipate that ka-CHUNK! right in the middle of Autobahn and one of the Kometenmelodies to this day.
	5:17pm =======: Drop outs weren't this frequent for Pseu
	👻 5:17pm Bas NL: Fabio, we keep loosing the connection on and off.. Are you browsing/downloading or something?
	5:18pm TDK60: Fabio it sounds like Terry Riley and Kraftwerk are interspersing. [?]
	5:18pm =======: Fabio can make it work thankfully
	5:19pm disantlor: did anyone else hear the incoming mail sound and check?
	5:19pm coelacanth∅: i must've heard autobahn (in it's entirety) via wnew-fm, pre-1978, when that station wasn't a total lost cause yet.
	5:19pm dale: GREAT show fabio! loving this. sounds like some popul vuh influence in here.
	5:20pm dale: on the droning choral voices sound anyway...
	5:20pm ParUbi: Hey everyone, how is the Thursday?
	5:21pm coelacanth∅: disantlor i did, i guess...i thought it was coming from someone's device here!
	5:21pm Rich in Washington: Funny you should mention, dismantlor - I listen to WFMU and its streams on my Roku device and I always hear notification 'donk' sounds on it. I used to think it was programmers leaving their notification sounds enabled, but now believe it's a defect of Roku's software or firmware.
	5:21pm Dave Miss: It’s too bad Florian had to pass away to hear more kraftwerk on here
	👻 5:22pm Rev. Turnip Druid: around 1981 there was a PBS show about the Bold New Technology of the day called Computer Chronicles -- i recall it used Kraftwerk in the titles & that turned on a bunch of folks my age to the tunes...
	5:22pm Rich in Washington: But yeah, notification sounds other than that - I am hearing them occasionally.
	5:22pm coelacanth∅: ...and yes, Fabio -it's cutting out quite a lot, and we've lost man-machine entirely
	5:22pm coelacanth∅: oh it's coming up again
	👻 5:22pm Rev. Turnip Druid: @Rich -- I get the donk sound when I stream via Roku as well. At first I thought it was DJ multitasking on laptops, then it was too consistent...
	5:23pm brainiac: Regarding "o.m.i.t." I'll be darned if I can find any indication that the name is an acronym or even appears with periods in his covers/liner notes.
	👻 5:23pm chresti: A Kraftwerk medley.
	5:24pm disantlor: theres a lot of good alternate doinks in Man Machine apparently... im not using roku, just streaming directly, so not sure its a Roku thing
	👻 5:24pm Threemoons: Still working. Popping in to say that I am BUMMED on all kinds of levels because I actually scored 2nd row center orchestra seats to see Kraftwerk in June at Radio City and I guarantee you the show now REALLY isn't happening...
	5:24pm Dave in Vermont: Rich I get it too- i use tune-in and my guess is that if i paid for tune-in premium i would no longer get that noise
	5:25pm slugluv1313: @ coelacantho -- yes, same here -- was growing up in central suburbs of NJ, no money to buy records -- but i do recall WNEW giving Kraftwerk decent airplay -- and, the local county library had their records!
	5:25pm coelacanth∅: (it's not a roku thing. at least not in this case)
	5:25pm Rich in Washington: @RTD: I've tried contacting Roku support and consulting Roku forums but no one's responded. I actually wonder if it's the wifi remote talking to the unit. I might try taking the batteries out to see if the problem persists.
	5:26pm Rich in Washington: uh oh!
	5:26pm coelacanth∅: the failure of strength through failure!
	5:27pm common: fabio, all. we are show room dummies.
	👻 5:27pm Ken From Hyde Park: strengthening
	5:27pm Rich in Washington: I hear ya, coelacanth∅. Occasionally hear DJ's computer notification sounds on the streams.
	5:28pm Jackie: @threemoons I had row 4
	5:28pm dale: it's all good - i'd rather hear fabio from home with a few dropouts than not at all.
	5:28pm Hubig Pie: They broke the glass and then kaput
	5:28pm McGroovey: I'm listening over the air, and I think I'm hearing different extraneous sounds from the ones the streamers are hearing. My guess is there's an on-and-off problem with Fabio's connection to WFMU.
	5:28pm coelacanth∅: what the hell?! this is like when millenials play music!
	5:28pm Rich in Washington: I had Einsturzende Neubauten tickets and their US tour has been permanently cancelled.
	👻 5:28pm chresti: I like Sr. Coconut's version of this.
	5:29pm Rich in Washington: @coelacanthø! HA!
	👻 5:29pm Bas NL: @coel: Pffww.. hi,hi, hi!
	5:29pm ParUbi: The world operated its calculator only to divide by 0.
	5:29pm McGroovey: Well, anyway, most of us can probably recreate this Kraftwerk playlist at home from our own collections. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
	5:30pm TDK60: We're still having fun and it's working most of the time..
	5:30pm McGroovey: I actually like the randomness factor in this, so I ain't complainin'.
	5:31pm Webhamster Henry: Hi Fabio! The glitching ads to the coputery-aesthetic!
	👻 5:31pm chresti: Yes, having fun, we are.
	5:31pm Hubig Pie: Sr. Coconut's jalopy stalled out on the Autobahn
	5:31pm Ochre Ogre: @dale- Right, big time on the Popul Vuh sound.
	5:31pm brainiac: I have no cccomplaints.
	5:32pm TDK60: C'mon let's take off...
	5:32pm =======: Ha!
	5:32pm Fragonard: A very sad day, indeed
	5:32pm spodiodi: glitchy glitchy ya ya fabi
	5:32pm Dave in Vermont: that's not buffering, it's our programing
	👻 5:33pm mrdonutsu: No glitches. Just the machines in charge - as it should be for this!
	5:33pm Dave in Vermont: loving every minute
	5:33pm Fragonard: I hope Florian is sufficiently buffered
	5:33pm spodiodi: Florian is pulling the strings
	5:34pm spodiodi: same, Dave
	5:34pm TDK60: Y'all can over my apt. and listen to the Autobahn LP record while we sip tea. Oh forgot, gotta wait a while...
	5:34pm lukas: I think the power is down. Someone check the POWER STATION!
	5:34pm Matt Warwick: Hey guys! We're having major connection problems today. TRYIN' MAH BEST IN HERE
	5:35pm dale: i blame verizon.
	5:35pm =======: Fabio you rule, man
	👻 5:35pm Bas NL: Don't worry Matt. Only happy customers here!
	5:36pm Chop Scott: Fabio & Matt! Hang in there, rough streaming today.
	5:36pm Dave Miss: Hubig’s Pies are back?!? Bring back old wnew too!
	5:36pm TDK60: Matt, If all else fails you can rush into the library and grab some Kraftwerk LPs. (Maybe you already did?)
	5:37pm Benjamin Kracauer: Thank you, Fabio, for this great tribute
	5:37pm slugluv1313: @ dale -- yes, same here! so grateful, Fabio -- glitches and all!
	5:37pm Rich in Washington: It's like when you get lost in a strange city and keep accidentally getting on the expressway to the Autobahn.
	5:38pm Crudbringer: aww yeah... too nice outside not to go for a skizzate but I will rewind this archive... got my new sizzoundsystem with wizoofers made of steel to rockit...
	5:39pm jeanli: heavenly machinenery!!
	5:39pm Carmichael: Heya Fabs und Leuten. Got here just in time for the Schneider homage!
	👻 5:39pm chresti: Thanks Matt! Is it windy?
	5:39pm coelacanth∅: TDK put your speakers in the windows and we'll gather outside, spaced appropriately
	5:40pm Model Citizen: I had the pleasure of attending the Autobahn tour in US.After the concert over a few beers they proclaimed admiration of K.Stockhausen.R.I.P Florian
	5:41pm McGroovey: Durnit, Crudbringer, now you've planted Herbie Hancock's Rock It in my head, and my brain is mixing it with the Kraftwerk. It works, but it's not what I wanted.
	👻 5:41pm chresti: I can listen on the phone @TDK
	5:42pm Ochre Ogre: That reminded me of back in the day trying to set my receiver antenna every which way to pick up a fuzzy signal of FMU.
	5:42pm Crudbringer: the incredible dancing robot pants
	5:43pm coelacanth∅: i have to get back outside now anyway, and fix some machinery. not man-machinery; just machinery. (...man's waste-of-resources machinery) (a wood chipper) Thanks Fabio, and Matt and all y'all
	5:44pm brainiac: @Carmichael: It's just hot enough for a Fresca and gin cocktail today, no?
	5:44pm Shane Braindrain: Fabulous mix of Kraftwerk inspired music, most influential band since The Beatles?
	5:45pm Rich in Washington: @coelacanth∅: we're slaves to machinery, and not the other way 'round. I remember reading an article about Kraftwerk when I was a teen and that was their central message.
	5:45pm TDK60: Model Citizen: That's very fitting and groovy that they liked Stockhausen, I figure.
	5:45pm spodiodi: see you next time, coelacanth
	👻 5:45pm Bas NL: Doing The Robot Dance
	5:46pm Handy Haversack: Made it back for the end times! This has been great music for stowing liquor to Fabio! We got some Averna in your honor.
	5:46pm Itzall Tumánnio: "The Robots", still one of my favorites of theirs. Never gets old, does it?
	5:46pm Ike: Frankly, this is the problem with management having a fetish for absolutely 100% live radio instead of settling for a prerecorded show from a few hours ago that would play more reliably. A lot of DJs' home internet connections are just not up to it. Oh well.
	👻 5:47pm Threemoons: @coelocanth yep had those tix also. Glad I at least got to see Heilung in January. I suppose Wardruna in the Fall will be cancelled...
	5:47pm Photocopy Cha Cha: The first two albums are so underrated, especially by Kraftwerk! I don't know what to make of Ralf Hütter's claim Florian Schneider was not very involved for years prior to his departure from Kraftwerk.
	👻 5:47pm chris: Ike, i was listening to an archive this morn. had same problem. its a problem on the streaming server or upstream from there, me thinks.
	👻 5:47pm Threemoons: @Jackie sigh, yeah, I know...right?
	5:48pm Choggie: Ich habe meinen Heimcomputer so programmiert, dass er mich in die Zukunft strahlt Send feedback History Saved Community Read a sign in another language, instantly. NO THANKSTRY THE APP
	5:49pm Choggie: Ooops
	5:49pm Ike: @chris, really? Huh, I haven't had any problems with archives, but admittedly I haven't listened to very many lately, except for the excellent Polyglot with jesse D., a show y'all should totally check out BTW!
	👻 5:50pm Bas NL: I think it was Ralf always claiming they were 'Muzik Arbeiter' and Florian then always countered: No, no, Ralf! I'm not a music worker!!
	👻 5:50pm chris: Ike, after i posted, i thought... hmmm. maybe those cut outs in the archive were live, too... and thanks for the tip on Polyglot!
	5:51pm Photocopy Cha Cha: @5:50 Bas NL: well I did not know this.
	5:51pm Photocopy Cha Cha: btw are the organization/tone float re-releases official?
	5:51pm Crudbringer: Ho Lee Shit. I never realized the Newton's Apple theme was a Florian jam.
	👻 5:52pm Rev. Turnip Druid: YESSIR, this was the one Computer Chronicles used. Ruckzuck.
	5:52pm Rich in Washington: Ideally, if the DJ records their live show while streaming, the archive can be replaced with a version without the skips, stalls in it.
	👻 5:52pm Rev. Turnip Druid: or is my memory destroyed? Was it Newton's Apple? jeezus
	5:52pm Crudbringer: God I miss funded public media.
	5:53pm markinbrooklyn: I'll put up with glitches for live radio any day... Keep up the good work, Fabio! (and sorry about the american internet)
	5:53pm Rich in Washington: I must confess that I am relatively unfamiliar with the two albums prior to Autobahn.
	5:53pm common: goddamn. love.
	5:53pm slater: With ira Flatow!
	5:54pm Photocopy Cha Cha: @5:53 Rich in Washington: you mean kraftwerk 2 and ralf und florian? cos there are 3 before autobahn
	5:54pm Carmichael: Thsi is totally awesome. Back to my stoner days in the Air Force.
	5:54pm Rich in Washington: I actually prefer live shows to pre-recorded shows. Don't get me wrong; some people make great pre-recorded shows, but I just prefer freeform shows myself.
	5:55pm Rich in Washington: Yeah, Photocopy, also Ralf and Florian. I meant three. Was just thinking of those two eponymous albums, which I've never owned.
	5:55pm Photocopy Cha Cha: this was the memorial music to Tomasz Hostnik (Laibach) when his death was announced on the radio
	5:56pm Handy Haversack: This live radio is gorgeous. I am deeply grateful. Thanks, Fabio, Matt, Skeleton Army.
	5:56pm Hubig Pie: I gonna have jagerschnitzel, swabian kartoffelsalat, and gurkensalat for dinner
	👻 5:57pm chresti: Thanks Fabio!
	5:57pm Dave Miss: This has been awesome
	5:58pm TDK60: Fabio, we still had fun. Despite those newfangled machines.
	5:58pm Rich in Washington: That's hilarious, Photocopy! I was just typing something about that when you posted that! I have that record. I think it was censored from later releases.
	5:58pm brainiac: Much appreciated, Fabio
	5:58pm spodiodi: thanks, Fabio!
	5:58pm Corey: Thanks Fabio for the great show, especially this tribute set!
	👻 5:58pm Bas NL: Thank you, thank you, thank you Fabio and fortress keepers!
	5:59pm Rich in Washington: Great show, Fabio!
	5:59pm Photocopy Cha Cha: @5:58 Rich in Washington: censored? weird. it is also on the 80s doc about them (Laibach sanctioned I suppose)
	5:59pm Jackie: @Threemoons this time last year I was looking forward to Bryan Ferry at Radio City, but then I got a brain tumor :/
	5:59pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, Matt!
	5:59pm Ike: @rich, I'm just referring to the method of production (of 3-hour freeform shows) during the pandemic, not anything else. Not talking about specialty shows vs. non-specialty shows.
	5:59pm Mike tp: thank YOU FABIO...
	5:59pm Photocopy Cha Cha: Thank you mr. Jackpot (you see I have been watching Twin Peaks)
	6:00pm Rich in Washington: It was on Baptism, the original LP, but cut out of later releases.
	6:00pm Crudbringer: ty FABIO you are the man-machine
	6:00pm Photocopy Cha Cha: @6:00 Rich in Washington: thanks for telling me, you learn something new every day
	6:00pm Ike: Thanks Fabio et al.!
	6:00pm mariano: Thanks Fabio and crew, take care everyone!
	6:01pm ultradamno: RIP Florian
	6:01pm Ochre Ogre: Maybe interference from that pic posted of a transformer. Lol Thanks Fabio & Matt!
	6:01pm Jackie: Thanks Fabio! Thanks Matt!
	6:12pm slugluv1313: thanks again, Fabio!
	12:30am Anthony: This show has always supported Kraftwerk's great music. Florian was a genius who influenced most popular music of the past 40 years yet most people have never even heard of him. Thanks for the great radio show over the years.
	8:46pm Doctor B.: I can always trust you to deliver amazing music each and every show. Bowie, Schnitzler and the late, great Florian Schneider from Kraftwerk (rock in peace, Florian!)
