It's of course disappointing to lose two favorite shows, with Sheila B also taking a sabbatical,
www.youtube.com... ("A Fish Called Wanda")
but from the standpoint of supporting the station, for me, I have found some great shows, like a new one Futura with DJ Pedro Fumero, which I found in the middle of the night from being sick, which wasn't such a pleasant way to find them, but I can listen to their new shows in archive form!

Hello Fabio & Failure Folk!

Fabio, I may not be worthy to say this, being only an occasional contributor to this chat board, but if I may say, without gushing too much, being one of the old guard here at the WoofMoo and among the first personalities I've heard on this station when I first started listening on a regular basis back at the tail end of the 80's, I'd like to express my heartfelt thanks for your contributions during your time on air. Some of the best shows I'll consider among the best were your elaborate tributes to Genesis P-Orridge and "Il Maestro" from last year, as well as the one for Alan Vega and all of Alex Hacke's guest appearances (the last of which gave me the chance to see him live @ Monty Hall, thank you very much for that). And of course, all those moments with Clay were magic! Your time off is well deserved. I hope you return to air with a renewed sense of energy and perspective of life, bleak as it may often seem.
Failure at accomplishment ≠ failure in life. It's all in how we carry ourselves through it, and how willing we are to learn from our failures, despite whatever odds we're condemned to face.

Yes, it kind of is a big deal. I’m in denial already. But it’ll hit me next week. It’s probably none of my business but I hope it’s for reasons under your control and all is well with you. I’m going to miss you man. In the meantime I’m going to enjoy the show until it’s time to say arrivederci.

There is always the chance that the soon-to-be-MIA's will eventually pop up again either as fill-ins or end up on the Alt-streams. Keep hope alive!

I should add that, were it not for Fabio, along with Devon E. Levins, we wouldn't be so well-versed and immersed in "cinemalogia" (movie histrionics). So much enriching knowledge about the history of the moving image to enjoy and learn from!

Strength Through Failure is the only show on WFMU that I make sure I catch live every week. WFMU and your show have changed my life in so many positive ways. Every Thursday afternoon, you gave me the strength to fail with grace and beauty. Thank you for all the great music Fabio. You will be dearly missed. Enjoy your much deserved break.

My two cents on the new schedule:
Will look forward to Fabio's return next summer, but at least Irwin and Scott will fill the void on Weds and Thurs afternoons till then.
But here's my problem--why can't we get Bob Brainen back on the ai?. I really like both the animal program and double dip recess, but they are kinda redundant. Put Bob back on the regular radio for Christ's sake.

Pandemic allowed me to blast FMU all day,every day. I had listened a bit to STF and enjoyed the Dusty Show crossovers, but really dug into the whole daytime schedule during lockdown. During the fist few weeks, my lady-friend would ask me to turn down the “noise” on Thursday afternoons. 2 months later, she was asking “why aren’t you listening to Fabio?” Looking forward to your return to the schedule, when you’re ready.

Stork Club archives go back to 2001 but was it older than that? I recall Stork, Coulter, & Fabio being my earliest drugs of choice here .. late ‘90s when it was “novel” to hear radio long distance on computer-box… But time compression, memory fades..

@ Rev. TD - I can confirm that. I've been listening to the station since ~1988, Stork and The Hound were mainstays at that time and often guest hosted each other's shows during marathons, IINM. But that factoid could use further confirmation from other long-timers.

@PR1922 : Some make a distinction between 'body drugs' & mind drugs - what have you. Overdose & Addiction are obvious hallmarks & hazards. & I suppose Behavior is the other of the most obvious concerns. SheilaB broached the subject of the Class aspect of judging between say LSD & Crack. But maybe they're both about Getting High in the end... Limits to that obviously - & to equating one drug to another, ever. It's far more complicated & nuance than that ! Of course there are many Medicines & Elixirs. We have the false War on Drugs - & the first victim of War is always the Truth.

@Mxter Baba: The Wine that is reference in the bible is “Mixed Wine” not just Alcohol. Common in Ancient Rome- ergot wine, wormwood wine, Opium wine, and so on….

for example in the Story of Homer & his Odyssey. The wine that Homer tricked the cyclops into consuming was unmixed… instead of 10 parts water 1 part wine - The wine was unmixed and the Cyclops drank the unmixed wine

...the Freedom to do with one's own nervous system as one wishes is one area I'm actually fairly Libertarian : I think on Principle we need to address the Reality of our species' & our Civilization's factual History with Drugs - on pretty much the model of Terence McKenna's far-ranging riffs on the subject. Namely - that Humans & Drugs have always been together - & the attempt to deny this is about Control. That's obvious - isn't it?
Otoh - I think if our Society *really* wanted to address the factual situation with Drugs - then the means is Harm Reduction - dealing with it as a Medical situation - not a Legal one. Which makes me more characteristically - reliably - & comfortably Socialist.
Of course - actually remedying the situation with Drugs has not been the motivation of those in power - @ all.

I've always tried to go easy on alcohol consumption. But lately I've been slowly but surely ingesting more and more of the mind alternating liquid.
