Hello Fabio. If Jan 17, 1999 was your first show, you're now approaching your 1,000th play of Mr. Giant Man. I will now attempt to stop thinking and listen.

What is this Fabio!!

Fabio was doing shows on WFMU before 1999. Maybe that was the first show that was archived?

@steveo: that is when the playlists started and we began archiving. I've been here since 1986.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:18pm

I was afraid of that; yes that's the first playlist I found. You're probably way over 1000, then. Thanks for being here today.

"Sword and sandal" is not of Japan- it refers to Sampson/Conan/Gladiator type movies. It's like a whole different part of the USA. Also, please play more Nina Rota, I like that one he does called "Lorelai", sounds a lot like Styx.
