Listener comments!
	3:05pm Cecile: hola!
	3:06pm RZ: Hey everyone!
	3:06pm V Priceless: Yes! Some Far Away Beach! Make it so, Fabio!
	3:07pm sphere: greetings
	3:08pm phat: It really doesn't get more beautiful than Some Far Away Beach.
	3:08pm cory: good whatever time of day it is where you are.
	♥ 3:09pm Sweet Essence of Giraffe: Hiya, Fabio, and the Strengthened.
	🎸 ♥ 3:10pm Rev. Turnip Druid: FOKES!
	🎸 ♥ 3:11pm Rev. Turnip Druid: This bit of exotica fits perfectly. I was inspired to pull out the Mondo Cane soundtrack earlier, to contrast the snow scene out the winders...
	3:11pm Claw!: Hey hey hey
	3:12pm JakeGould: Where is there a faraway beach? All I see is snow.
	3:12pm steve: ahh the soothing sounds are just what i need...
	♥ 3:15pm Rich in Washington: Decibel is some amazing stuff. So much great stuff from Mexico. Almost completely unheard here.
	♥ 3:20pm Guido from Cologne: Hello everybody!
	♥ 3:26pm Ike: I've saved up my shekels for the marathon! Anybody who hasn't -- time to stop drinking that fucking expensive artisanal coffee NOW and use your dusty old french press instead. Then you'll have a few bucks for FMU in the next few weeks, you damn hipster.
	♥ 3:28pm chris: Hello, Fabio, Failures! @Ike: word.
	3:29pm Dean: Chemex. There is the ongoing expense of filters, but the cleaning costs are less.
	3:29pm steve: i just my tax refund... now there is some good news. extra moneys for the marathon!
	♥ 3:29pm Ike: (Or cut back on the jazz cigarettes. Those things are expensive.)
	🎸 ♥ 3:29pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Screw the french press. Make mine weapons-grade ethiopian beans in a rusty old percolator every time, forever.
	🎸 ♥ 3:29pm Rev. Turnip Druid: That said, I'll be slingin' coins at the marathon...
	3:30pm Cecile: I already paid a mouse of today in full to sponsor Diane. Yeah, what the Rev said.
	3:31pm steve: i think i may move up from adopting inanimate and semianimate objects to adopting a human this year.
	♥ 3:31pm Guido from Cologne: Agree about "The Sacred Idol " + "Ports of Pleasure".
	3:31pm steve: nice Cecile!
	♥ 3:31pm Ike: I really know nada about coffee, being a Ten Ren loose-leaf tea guy. @RTD, does good Ethiopian restaurants & groceries in D.C. also mean good Ethiopian java beans? Do they have a hint of injera and/or a whisper of sauteed collards?
	3:31pm V Priceless: nice work, Cecile!
	3:34pm Dean: I know zilch about artisinal anything. Coffee? Trader Joe's Bay Blend works just swell in a Chemex.
	♥ 3:34pm chris: Speaking of Diane, I just pre-ordered the new Blind Idiot God album... need more heavy dub in my life. That did not cut into marathon duckets, I'll have you know.
	♥ 3:34pm SeanG: love Sexy Beast
	♥ 3:35pm Ike: @Dean, everything at TJ's is as artisanal as I usually get. Discount artisanal. That's how I roll. Cheap grocery prices = saving $$$... for FMU!!!
	🎸 ♥ 3:35pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Ike: There's a fantastic Ethiopian roastery in my old neighborhood; so it means a regular visit back up there to score a couple bags of Harrar dark. It's the nectar of glorious hell-yay-stuff.
	3:36pm nic: 78º here :-)
	🎸 ♥ 3:36pm Rev. Turnip Druid: i wouldn't call it "artisanal," more like good old-fashioned authentic rocket-fuel.
	3:37pm Chris from DC: RTD, what's the name of that joint? I may have to try that when the glaciers recede and it's safe to go back out.
	♥ 3:37pm Ike: Under the Skin is FREAKY. A creepy sci-fi movie with no explanations and no exposition? A rare sight indeed.
	3:39pm JakeGould: Going out in the snow. I hear some dog from the Norwegian station is on the lose. Some helicopter is buzzing overhead. Gotta help them, right?
	🎸 ♥ 3:40pm Rev. Turnip Druid: @Toad from DC: Harrar, on Georgia Ave @ Harvard St. Tiny place, run by lovely people. Endorsed.
	♥ 3:42pm DCE: hi all.
	3:43pm Chris from DC: Ah, noted Rev. That does sound pretty good.
	3:47pm Cecile: I think the water has a lot to do with it. I've had coffee snobs enjoy my Folger's, made with good cold Mpls city water and a Mr. Coffee.
	🎸 ♥ 3:47pm Rev. Turnip Druid: THIS. SOUND.
	🎸 ♥ 3:48pm Rev. Turnip Druid: True, Cecile: It could be placebo nonsense, but there seems to be a huge difference with just filtering DC tap water vs. straight. The beans are worth it. They died so that we might live.
	3:49pm nic: Toho Sara _ yes !!!
	3:50pm Dean: Huge fan of placebos. At least I think I am.
	♥ 3:51pm Sweet Essence of Giraffe: The tiniest bit of salt in the grounds helps, I have found, regardless of the quality of the Arabicas in question. Robustas are just too acidic for me, any time, so I just give 'em a miss.
	♥ 3:52pm SeanG: hahaha Dean
	🎸 ♥ 3:54pm Rev. Turnip Druid: [dean for the win]
	3:58pm Mark: Dark Sunny Land sounds like when they go through the serial killer's house when he's not there, and there's like pictures of victims and notebooks and maybe a doll or two...very creepy and very cool.
	♥ 4:00pm Ike: Trader Joe's has the best placebos. They're cheap and they work better than any other brand.
	4:04pm Dean: I'm having the hardest time finding a placebo for sugar pills.
	4:04pm Chris from DC: I only use artisanal placebos.
	4:05pm Claw!: No placebos for me, thanks. Too many toxins.
	4:05pm Robert: Anyone notice how "Faraway Beach" (an hour ago) starts out just like "Still the Same"?
	4:05pm Dean: It's all in your head, Claw!
	4:07pm Robert: Dean, you joke, but I was involved in setting up a clinical trial of a dietary supplement, and it was hard to get the placebo & product to match in appearance.
	4:09pm cory: boy, i hope my adoption goes through
	♥ 4:09pm Sweet Essence of Giraffe: The pill my doctor gave me doesn't do anything at all...except make me sicker. "A nocebo (Latin for "I shall harm") is an inert substance that creates harmful effects in a patient."
	♥ 4:12pm Tome: get him Clay
	4:12pm Dean: Robert, that seems totally plausible. As a layman, I find the whole concept of placebos fascinating. The term "placebo" tends to the layman to mean "ineffective" (as in, "It was just a placebo."), but of course that's the very question under investigation.
	♥ 4:13pm DCE: @ Robert, I noticed that too about that first track
	4:13pm Chris from DC: And of course we know the ones that mother gives you don't do anything at all.
	4:14pm Dean: Just imagine that all those '60s psychedelic bands were in fact inspired by placebos.
	4:18pm Robert: Well, it wouldn't've been that hard had the sponsor not changed the product from a pill to a capsule. The contents were different-colored powders, and you could see them thru the capsule wall. And that was after they'd gone to some previous trouble to get a slightly mottled-shell pill made to match their one-off production run!
	4:21pm Robert: Whew, DCE, I thought nobody else noticed music similarities I did! Lately I've been trying to get others to acknowledge a similarity--not in melody, but other ways--between "Promises" by Barreracudas & "You May Think I'm Crazy" by the Cars. I think they deliberately tried to evoke it as a pastiche, an inside joke, whatever.
	🎸 ♥ 4:22pm chocolate monk: classic JU SUK!!
	🎸 ♥ 4:23pm Rev. Turnip Druid: What the Monk exclaimed!
	4:24pm Robert: And if you think it's hard for me to get others to notice "echoes" in MUSIC I hear, you should see the trouble I have convincing others that "Lost" was deliberately modeled on some earlier stories that were clues to its real, inapparent, solution.
	🎸 ♥ 4:25pm chocolate monk: i was sitting here making loops for a gig in Leeds on saturday, i might as well put my shit away.
	4:26pm Chris from DC: New to me. This is amazing.
	♥ 4:27pm SeanG: yeah good stuff
	4:27pm V Priceless: If spring ever arrives, I plan on building a nice little placebo in my back yard.
	♥ 4:28pm DCE: I will join you there for a placebeer
	4:29pm V Priceless: Due to the adverse and prolonged weather conditions here in NY, I hold myself harmless from insane ramblings here or abroad.
	♥ 4:31pm Sweet Essence of Giraffe: Isn't it pronounced PLACE-ebo, like Placebo Domingo?
	♥ 4:32pm DCE: bringing in the sheep, bringing in the sheep
	4:33pm V Priceless: "Place e-bow over guitar string..."
	4:39pm steve: jews secrete meat?
	4:39pm Cecile: deh-style.
	♥ 4:42pm TDK60: Natural Snow Buildings today? Or other snow-referenced sounds?
	♥ 4:42pm Polyus: There you go Clay, the truth comes out at last.
	♥ 4:43pm Tome: fab & dm * rumble on Atlantic Ave #
	♥ 4:44pm northguineahills: I've seen Kes, it's a great fun movie!
	♥ 4:46pm northguineahills: (a little twee, maybe, but a great film revealing old albion in the then modern world in a children's friendly manner)
	♥ 4:46pm Philthy woman: Bunny Lake is missing! I wish I was in NYC
	4:49pm Cecile: Fail-Safe is pretty damn good
	♥ 4:51pm northguineahills: I can't wait to see Charlemagne Palestine!
	♥ 4:51pm Polyus: Xfinity cut us out of the Turner Classic loop a couple of years ago.
	♥ 4:51pm Polyus: Xfinity cut us out of the Turner Classic loop a couple of years ago.
	♥ 4:52pm DCE: pretty much the only movies I see are from TCM. Always check the guides on Saturday nights/early Sundays, they get adventurous sometimes!
	♥ 4:53pm DCE: I would love to Charlemagne Palestine--lucky you, ngh!
	4:53pm Chris from DC: Saw Charlemagne Palestine at Hopscotch a couple of years ago, and I envy you.
	♥ 4:55pm Mutant: Sad - I hadn't heard that Dockstader had passed. RIP
	🎸 ♥ 4:56pm Rev. Turnip Druid: I'm late to the Tod party, but have been intensely enjoying the discovery.
	♥ 4:57pm Mutant: There was a recent documentary.
	4:58pm w: Kes was far from a fun film as I recall. The kid was in a broken home and the love of his life, Kes, was killed by an asshole!
	4:58pm Dean: Sorry to hear about Dockstader.
	4:59pm float: Walked past the music Archive on White St NYC and they have Nimoy's "The Touch" LP in the window. Nature Boy is perfect overlaid over Luna Park.
	♥ 5:00pm TDK60: Didn't know Tod D. died. I enjoy his ambient/noise sounds.
	♥ 5:02pm TDK60: w: Most of Loach's films are far from fun; they show a reality, often grim, of working class life in Britain.
	♥ 5:05pm Guido from Cologne: Impressive!
	5:06pm Dean: Love the Aerial records.
	5:07pm Chris from DC: Yeah, I think this is my favorite work of his.
	🎸 ♥ 5:08pm Rev. Turnip Druid: For god dammit's sake, someone take my money immediately.
	♥ 5:08pm northguineahills: (My definition of fun may differ from yours) I think Sweet Movie by Dusan Makavejev was the first movie I saw the second time, and said, "nope!", too dark for me....! (still a good movie to see once, only once).
	🎸 ♥ 5:08pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Clicky-stars like snowflakes...
	5:09pm Chris from DC: All sourced from short wave, I believe?
	♥ 5:10pm Whosondephone: This sounds so cool. I have two speakers in separate rooms at the shop.
	♥ 5:12pm Philthy woman: Great show Fabio! I will def be listening to this again in archives!
	🎸 ♥ 5:15pm dale: this is headphones and jazz cigarette territory
	5:18pm JakeGould: The snow in NYC right now is pretty nice to be outside in. A few hours or even tomorrow? Not so sure.
	5:23pm Robert: JG, I even had an urge to get dressed & go out in it a few mins. ago, when I had nowhere to go, so I did for a few mins.
	5:23pm steve: i thought i was a fan of Dockstader, i am apparently now a super fan
	🎸 ♥ 5:24pm dale: this dude did top cat and hokie wolf sound effects? i can see it.
	♥ 5:30pm TDK60: 1964?! Didn't know he went that far back.
	🎸 ♥ 5:30pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Tod StarClicker
	♥ 5:34pm Matt from Springfield: Snow Future for you! Hi everyone, hi placebo artisans!
	♥ 5:36pm common: hey matt, fabio, you all. this has been great snow watching muzak!
	♥ 5:38pm Matt from Springfield: And Amen, Rev! The coffee beans "died so that we might live" - that's the old-time rocket-fuel religion, and it's good enuff for me! Hiya common! This is mighty fine Snowzak!
	♥ 5:39pm common: indeedz
	5:40pm Marcel M: Oy vey... What a day.
	♥ 5:41pm Sweet Essence of Giraffe: Hiya, the Matt, noted Springfield caffeine fiend.
	♥ 5:42pm Matt from Springfield: '61 - what a pioneer! So long, you electronaut...
	♥ 5:44pm Matt from Springfield: Ahhh, wonderful Essence I sense walking over! Hiya SEoG! I can be both a friend and fiend of caffeine, which is kind of the same thing! I'll go with "fiend" for the cool doubling up of "-feine" sound! :)
	5:47pm nic: this is really cool
	♥ 5:50pm Sweet Essence of Giraffe: Isn't English odd, in that those vowels sequences are not the same, but...you know, assonance?
	♥ 5:50pm Guido from Cologne: Ah, now I discover "24 Track Loop". As the title sais: This was a dub song anyway. Did they use the original on this?
	5:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - caffeind... I before E except in my bloodstream...
	5:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Caffiend...
	♥ 5:52pm Sem Chumbo: On to something there, RevRab.
	5:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I'm not unstable...I just really need to have a conversation w/ anyone about anything @ all...
	♥ 5:53pm Matt from Springfield: English is quite odd, but it's a nicer way to say it than "uneven"! ;) And hi fellow caffiend RRN63!
	♥ 5:54pm TDK60: I hope there are no Deniers of the oncoming Marathon here.
	5:55pm Dean: Ghoti
	♥ 5:55pm Guido from Cologne: And this is the version of the same song called "pool" from Recommended Records Sampler. i don't know which version I like better.
	5:55pm V Priceless: @ Dean: Fish !
	♥ 5:56pm Matt from Springfield: @RRN63: Converse about the weather then, you've been so generous sending your weather down my way, but...don't ya think it's bout time to save some for next winter??
	5:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...when the sea-levels rise, you'll all be up here in the hills anyways...
	♥ 5:57pm northguineahills: This is some nice This Heat...
	5:58pm Dean: @VP: I thought it was pronounced goatee.
	♥ 5:58pm Sem Chumbo: Thanks, Fabio. Beautiful sounds, as always. See ya later.
	10:20am 118664: man, that James Fella stuff is a real killer. Thanks!!!

	♥ 4:28pm DCE: I will join you there for a placebeer
	4:29pm V Priceless: Due to the adverse and prolonged weather conditions here in NY, I hold myself harmless from insane ramblings here or abroad.
	♥ 4:31pm Sweet Essence of Giraffe: Isn't it pronounced PLACE-ebo, like Placebo Domingo?
	♥ 4:32pm DCE: bringing in the sheep, bringing in the sheep
	4:33pm V Priceless: "Place e-bow over guitar string..."

	♥ 4:44pm northguineahills: I've seen Kes, it's a great fun movie!
	♥ 4:46pm northguineahills: (a little twee, maybe, but a great film revealing old albion in the then modern world in a children's friendly manner)
	♥ 4:46pm Philthy woman: Bunny Lake is missing! I wish I was in NYC
	4:49pm Cecile: Fail-Safe is pretty damn good

	♥ 4:57pm Mutant: There was a recent documentary.
	4:58pm w: Kes was far from a fun film as I recall. The kid was in a broken home and the love of his life, Kes, was killed by an asshole!
	4:58pm Dean: Sorry to hear about Dockstader.
	4:59pm float: Walked past the music Archive on White St NYC and they have Nimoy's "The Touch" LP in the window. Nature Boy is perfect overlaid over Luna Park.

	♥ 5:02pm TDK60: w: Most of Loach's films are far from fun; they show a reality, often grim, of working class life in Britain.

	♥ 5:08pm northguineahills: (My definition of fun may differ from yours) I think Sweet Movie by Dusan Makavejev was the first movie I saw the second time, and said, "nope!", too dark for me....! (still a good movie to see once, only once).
	🎸 ♥ 5:08pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Clicky-stars like snowflakes...
	5:09pm Chris from DC: All sourced from short wave, I believe?

	♥ 5:44pm Matt from Springfield: Ahhh, wonderful Essence I sense walking over! Hiya SEoG! I can be both a friend and fiend of caffeine, which is kind of the same thing! I'll go with "fiend" for the cool doubling up of "-feine" sound! :)
	5:47pm nic: this is really cool
	♥ 5:50pm Sweet Essence of Giraffe: Isn't English odd, in that those vowels sequences are not the same, but...you know, assonance?
	♥ 5:50pm Guido from Cologne: Ah, now I discover "24 Track Loop". As the title sais: This was a dub song anyway. Did they use the original on this?

	♥ 5:53pm Matt from Springfield: English is quite odd, but it's a nicer way to say it than "uneven"! ;) And hi fellow caffiend RRN63!
	♥ 5:54pm TDK60: I hope there are no Deniers of the oncoming Marathon here.
	5:55pm Dean: Ghoti
