	3:11pm egould310: What freaks me out about “Mr Giant Man” is that during the verses, the “giant” completely avoids a rhyme scheme. Nothing in the song rhymes. It’s unsettling.

	5:22pm adampsyche: mf doom :(
	5:22pm spodiodi: wb, Landline
	5:23pm NikiA: what's everyone's NYE menu? I got black eyed peas and collards cooked with a turkey leg, pork loin, and deep fried honey brussels sprouts. orange bars for dessert. haven't started cooking yet tho 😹
	5:23pm coelacanth∅: if anyone's a little short on failure i've got extra
	5:24pm Scott67: Hey Happy New Year Handy! From Friday morning 2021..
	5:24pm winston legthigh: so happy ur here handy! missing rachelbobachel
	5:24pm Carmichael: A friend with failure is a friend indeed.
	👻 5:24pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Seriously digging the archival Harmonia LPs. That Documents '75 thing is (i dare say) stronger than the "official" releases, which is quite an achievement...
	5:25pm coelacanth∅: maybe i'll go freeze outside for a spell so i can appreciate being inside again
	5:25pm TDK60: Newly released olde Harmonia, RevTurnip?
	5:28pm Handy Haversack: coela, it's a tough road, but hooo, it's nice to be in here!
	👻 5:29pm Rev. Turnip Druid: TDK: New to me at least (?) catching up lately - Tracks & Traces (with eno) has been out a while, & this thing here...
	5:29pm HyperDose: @NikiA Not like you're going to have any leftovers from that. No way!
	5:31pm Scott67: It was 29c/85f, here last night. So outside was same as inside with no AC. I saw the year in, alone on the couch with a can of beer watching TV. Pretty much the same as I spent the entire year.
	5:31pm ami ad: Happy New Year fellow people of the board. Made a drink. Cheers all.
	5:31pm Carmichael: Something Vietnamese tonight. Flank steak fajitas tomorrow.
	5:32pm coelacanth∅: Handy i'm considering taking a walk. there's no destination (like a japanese, indian or chinese restaurant) closer than 4 miles... but then it's 4 miles back, and i'm not up to that!
	5:33pm coelacanth∅: (maybe i'll pick up something then take a destinationless walk)
	5:33pm Handy Haversack: Cheers, ami ad. We're gonna make pizza with a fra daivolo sauce I made and some fresh mozz and veggies. Scott, remember, every day is New Year Day to a dog!
	5:34pm Smog on the Tyne: Thank you so much Fabio for all the Thursday nights listening to your show over the past year - it’s the perfect mix of music to inspire and enlighten as well as to simply enjoy and I look forward to it all week. Wishing you a happy 2021 but please continue doing what you do here on WFMU exactly the same next year - it’s a little island of absolute brilliance in a massive and always widening sea of bleak mediocrity.
	5:35pm TDK60: See ya, Smog-on-Tyne.
	5:35pm HyperDose: @Handy Fra Daivolo has become my new favorite when I'm not using pesto. Great with tortellini and stuffed shells.
	5:35pm wfmu listener phillip: am sooo glad @fabio is here. no fill-in
	5:36pm Scott67: Too right Handy! Gus has taught me this well. 🐾
	5:37pm Scott67: As Smog so clearly said!
	5:38pm TDK60: I think the guy from Yo La Tango likes baseball. He could have a WFMU baseball talk show.
	5:38pm coelacanth∅: i wonder who's nothing is greater
	5:38pm wfmu listener phillip: cant wait. cant wait to see 2021
	5:39pm Brian C.: Shoot me but I can't help it, I think "homestretch" is more of a horseracing term.
	👻 5:39pm chresti: Home stretch is the last link in a horse race.
	5:39pm PaulRobeson1920: Home stretch is HoRSE RACINg
	5:39pm brainiac: Yeah, is the last part of (any) race. I think Fab's thinking of the 7th inning stretch.
	5:39pm wfmu listener phillip: first ever new years with no spectators in times square
	5:40pm TDK60: Maybe you're thinking of the 7th Inning Stretch?
	5:40pm PaulRobeson1920: Speaking of horses mine is out on loan collecting the night soil.
	5:40pm tw2sheds: Thank God you pointed that out before some snotty know it all did (like me)
	👻 5:40pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Home Stretch is doing an extension off the back of yer rowhouse that isn't to code.
	5:40pm Scott67: Or lockdown yoga class.
	5:41pm coelacanth∅: i thought it was when you live in your car, but your car happens to be a stretch limousine
	5:41pm Fabio: Ha! I know EVEN LESS about baseball than I thought!
	👻 5:41pm chresti: Haha Rev. Turnip
	5:42pm wilbur twinhorse: house arrest with ankle bracelet?
	5:42pm coelacanth∅: do you know what a shortstop is?
	👻 5:43pm chresti: I used to work at the track taking bets and paying the winners.
	5:44pm brainiac: Who's on first? Stan or Clay?
	5:44pm coelacanth∅: i know little about baseball, and surely less about horse racing
	👻 5:44pm Rev. Turnip Druid: @coel 5:42: dunno, but we practiced a bunch of 'em in the motorcycle safety course ..
	5:45pm TDK60: Great tunes by the way, Fabio.
	5:46pm TDK60: Is there only one stretch allowed in baseball? What if the game goes over to many more innings? Another stretch? at 14?
	👻 5:47pm Rev. Turnip Druid: this thing here. THIS one.
	👻 5:48pm chresti: The stretch is for the fans to do, I think.
	5:48pm brainiac: They used to have another stretch. Now they go into extras with a man on 2nd, so as to avoid 14 inning games, Tape Guy.
	5:49pm HarktheUmpire: MF Doom is dead. I can’t believe it
	5:49pm TDK60: brainiac: shows ya the last time I watched the game...
	5:50pm TDK60: What about cricket? The English just sit there, stiff upper back?
	5:50pm HyperDose: @HarktheUmpire Just saw El-P's post. 2020 couldn't let us be.
	👻 5:51pm chresti: I watch it once in awhile when there's an ace pitcher involved.
	5:51pm Smog on the Tyne: Wishing all you fellow StF listeners a really positive 2021 filled with all the treasurerd things you’ve had to miss out on in Covid times like beers with mates, going to the game and hugs off your mam - it has been an awful time but we will come out of this stronger and happier than ever and that is true Strength through Failure.
	5:51pm nic: love this!!!
	5:52pm wilbur twinhorse: Good Luck
	👻 5:53pm chresti: Rugby, what's that, like football?
	5:53pm Handy Haversack: @chresti (@5:43), did you? WOW! My dad was a handicapper. Worked at Belmont in the fifties, got me into horse racing early. I have stopped going -- animal ethical concerns took the enjoyment out for me eventually. But also I love it. For years, Kate, our friends, and I would go to Belmont at least for Kentucky Derby day and my birthday every year. What track did you work at, Santa Anita?
	5:53pm coelacanth∅: thanks Rev.@544...that gives me an idea
	5:55pm coelacanth∅: chresti @ 548 a stretch and a hotdog
	5:55pm Handy Haversack: You can also pitch out of the stretch.
	👻 5:56pm chresti: Handy, Santa Anita and Hollywood Park. My ex is a horse racing fan.
	5:56pm TDK60: brianiac - just looked and that inning change was only this year. Did just recall a live game I saw, in like '89. Pirates.
	👻 5:56pm KenW: GORGEOUS show my friend, Happy New Year everyone!
	5:57pm dale: good swan song to end with.
	5:57pm wfmu listener phillip: see you in 2021 @fabio
	5:57pm ami ad: Thank you DJ. Crew. To better times. So long.
	5:57pm spodiodi: thanks, Fabio! great show. thanks for all the broadcasts from Hotbox studios in Queens! thanks, Skeleton Crew! Happy New Year all
	5:57pm Webhamster Henry: Hi Fabio! Happy New Year and Stay Strong Though Failure!
	👻 5:57pm chresti: *I learned how to handicap from him.
	5:57pm brainiac: HAPPY NEW YEAR, ALL!
	5:58pm nic: hey thanks Fabio_have a great new year!!!
	5:58pm Scott67: Thanks Fabio! Stay strong , stay safe my friends. ♡
	5:58pm Carmichael: NANCY!
	👻 5:58pm chresti: Thanks Fabio! Happy New (better) Year!
	5:58pm wilbur twinhorse: happy new year you c**ts!
	5:58pm TDK60: Thanks Fabio for great music selections, all years! Happy new yeah. Eggnog lifted.
	5:59pm coelacanth∅: another year shot to hell. TO HELL
	5:59pm bLeubomberune: Fabio & all the failures- stai al sicuro e en salute. Felice Anno Nuovo
	👻 5:59pm Threemoons: Tank you all!
	5:59pm slugluv1313: so long, 2020! wonderful show, Fabio (as always!) thanks so much! Happy New Year, everyone -- wishing you all Thee BEST in 2021!!!

	👻 3:47pm Bas NL: This track reminds me of Villin-gen by Pôle.. (blog.wfmu.org...)
	3:49pm TDK60: Get better, Ken Staysh. \| Fabio, you think Budd mighta been influenced by Terry Riley's keyboard stuff back then?
	3:51pm Andres: Really enjoying this Harold Budd. Imagining a group or solo bagpiper having a go at this composition.

	👻 5:13pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Doing my part for a better year by opting-out of time altogether. Screw time.

	5:18pm winston legthigh: HANDY!!! happiest of new years to you, k8 and bagpipes!!!

	5:22pm adampsyche: mf doom :(
	5:22pm spodiodi: wb, Landline
	5:23pm NikiA: what's everyone's NYE menu? I got black eyed peas and collards cooked with a turkey leg, pork loin, and deep fried honey brussels sprouts. orange bars for dessert. haven't started cooking yet tho 😹
	5:23pm coelacanth∅: if anyone's a little short on failure i've got extra
	5:24pm Scott67: Hey Happy New Year Handy! From Friday morning 2021..
	5:24pm winston legthigh: so happy ur here handy! missing rachelbobachel
	5:24pm Carmichael: A friend with failure is a friend indeed.
	👻 5:24pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Seriously digging the archival Harmonia LPs. That Documents '75 thing is (i dare say) stronger than the "official" releases, which is quite an achievement...
	5:25pm coelacanth∅: maybe i'll go freeze outside for a spell so i can appreciate being inside again
	5:25pm TDK60: Newly released olde Harmonia, RevTurnip?
	5:28pm Handy Haversack: coela, it's a tough road, but hooo, it's nice to be in here!
	👻 5:29pm Rev. Turnip Druid: TDK: New to me at least (?) catching up lately - Tracks & Traces (with eno) has been out a while, & this thing here...
	5:29pm HyperDose: @NikiA Not like you're going to have any leftovers from that. No way!
	5:31pm Scott67: It was 29c/85f, here last night. So outside was same as inside with no AC. I saw the year in, alone on the couch with a can of beer watching TV. Pretty much the same as I spent the entire year.
	5:31pm ami ad: Happy New Year fellow people of the board. Made a drink. Cheers all.
	5:31pm Carmichael: Something Vietnamese tonight. Flank steak fajitas tomorrow.
	5:32pm coelacanth∅: Handy i'm considering taking a walk. there's no destination (like a japanese, indian or chinese restaurant) closer than 4 miles... but then it's 4 miles back, and i'm not up to that!
	5:33pm coelacanth∅: (maybe i'll pick up something then take a destinationless walk)
	5:33pm Handy Haversack: Cheers, ami ad. We're gonna make pizza with a fra daivolo sauce I made and some fresh mozz and veggies. Scott, remember, every day is New Year Day to a dog!
	5:34pm Smog on the Tyne: Thank you so much Fabio for all the Thursday nights listening to your show over the past year - it’s the perfect mix of music to inspire and enlighten as well as to simply enjoy and I look forward to it all week. Wishing you a happy 2021 but please continue doing what you do here on WFMU exactly the same next year - it’s a little island of absolute brilliance in a massive and always widening sea of bleak mediocrity.
	5:35pm TDK60: See ya, Smog-on-Tyne.
	5:35pm HyperDose: @Handy Fra Daivolo has become my new favorite when I'm not using pesto. Great with tortellini and stuffed shells.
	5:35pm wfmu listener phillip: am sooo glad @fabio is here. no fill-in
	5:36pm Scott67: Too right Handy! Gus has taught me this well. 🐾
	5:37pm Scott67: As Smog so clearly said!
	5:38pm TDK60: I think the guy from Yo La Tango likes baseball. He could have a WFMU baseball talk show.
	5:38pm coelacanth∅: i wonder who's nothing is greater
	5:38pm wfmu listener phillip: cant wait. cant wait to see 2021
	5:39pm Brian C.: Shoot me but I can't help it, I think "homestretch" is more of a horseracing term.
	👻 5:39pm chresti: Home stretch is the last link in a horse race.
	5:39pm PaulRobeson1920: Home stretch is HoRSE RACINg
	5:39pm brainiac: Yeah, is the last part of (any) race. I think Fab's thinking of the 7th inning stretch.
	5:39pm wfmu listener phillip: first ever new years with no spectators in times square
	5:40pm TDK60: Maybe you're thinking of the 7th Inning Stretch?
	5:40pm PaulRobeson1920: Speaking of horses mine is out on loan collecting the night soil.
	5:40pm tw2sheds: Thank God you pointed that out before some snotty know it all did (like me)
	👻 5:40pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Home Stretch is doing an extension off the back of yer rowhouse that isn't to code.
	5:40pm Scott67: Or lockdown yoga class.
	5:41pm coelacanth∅: i thought it was when you live in your car, but your car happens to be a stretch limousine
	5:41pm Fabio: Ha! I know EVEN LESS about baseball than I thought!
	👻 5:41pm chresti: Haha Rev. Turnip
	5:42pm wilbur twinhorse: house arrest with ankle bracelet?
	5:42pm coelacanth∅: do you know what a shortstop is?
	👻 5:43pm chresti: I used to work at the track taking bets and paying the winners.
	5:44pm brainiac: Who's on first? Stan or Clay?
	5:44pm coelacanth∅: i know little about baseball, and surely less about horse racing
	👻 5:44pm Rev. Turnip Druid: @coel 5:42: dunno, but we practiced a bunch of 'em in the motorcycle safety course ..
	5:45pm TDK60: Great tunes by the way, Fabio.
	5:46pm TDK60: Is there only one stretch allowed in baseball? What if the game goes over to many more innings? Another stretch? at 14?
	👻 5:47pm Rev. Turnip Druid: this thing here. THIS one.
	👻 5:48pm chresti: The stretch is for the fans to do, I think.
	5:48pm brainiac: They used to have another stretch. Now they go into extras with a man on 2nd, so as to avoid 14 inning games, Tape Guy.
	5:49pm HarktheUmpire: MF Doom is dead. I can’t believe it
	5:49pm TDK60: brainiac: shows ya the last time I watched the game...
	5:50pm TDK60: What about cricket? The English just sit there, stiff upper back?
	5:50pm HyperDose: @HarktheUmpire Just saw El-P's post. 2020 couldn't let us be.
	👻 5:51pm chresti: I watch it once in awhile when there's an ace pitcher involved.
	5:51pm Smog on the Tyne: Wishing all you fellow StF listeners a really positive 2021 filled with all the treasurerd things you’ve had to miss out on in Covid times like beers with mates, going to the game and hugs off your mam - it has been an awful time but we will come out of this stronger and happier than ever and that is true Strength through Failure.
	5:51pm nic: love this!!!
	5:52pm wilbur twinhorse: Good Luck
	👻 5:53pm chresti: Rugby, what's that, like football?
	5:53pm Handy Haversack: @chresti (@5:43), did you? WOW! My dad was a handicapper. Worked at Belmont in the fifties, got me into horse racing early. I have stopped going -- animal ethical concerns took the enjoyment out for me eventually. But also I love it. For years, Kate, our friends, and I would go to Belmont at least for Kentucky Derby day and my birthday every year. What track did you work at, Santa Anita?
	5:53pm coelacanth∅: thanks Rev.@544...that gives me an idea
	5:55pm coelacanth∅: chresti @ 548 a stretch and a hotdog
	5:55pm Handy Haversack: You can also pitch out of the stretch.
	👻 5:56pm chresti: Handy, Santa Anita and Hollywood Park. My ex is a horse racing fan.
	5:56pm TDK60: brianiac - just looked and that inning change was only this year. Did just recall a live game I saw, in like '89. Pirates.
	👻 5:56pm KenW: GORGEOUS show my friend, Happy New Year everyone!
	5:57pm dale: good swan song to end with.
	5:57pm wfmu listener phillip: see you in 2021 @fabio

	6:00pm Handy Haversack: Happy New Year, Fabio and Failsafes! Nowhere I'd rather fail!
	6:00pm dale: as they said in 'there oughta be a law...' - thanks a lift of the lynch lid...
	👻 6:01pm chresti: Will be here for the strength next year!
