	🎸 ♥ 3:15pm Aphidface: My favorite love song. Thanks
	♥ 3:15pm tim from champaign: @Brendan - I thought for the longest time that Can had 2 drummers until I actually took a good look at the album credits.
	🎸 ♥ 3:18pm Lixiviated Life: i don't believe in agnosticism. (ok well... maybe I do)
	3:22pm Catalpa: Guden afternoon. Are most of Can's lyrics in English?
	3:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes we CAN CAN CAN

	3:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hendrixy backward... & varispeed jungley voices ...as you do...
	🎸 ♥ 3:27pm Bas NL: @Catalpa Yes. Well, at times sort of.. When Damo Suzuki was their singer, he did a kind of phonetic English. He didn't speak it.
	🎸 ♥ 3:27pm chresti: At first Zink Tank reminded me of Carl Stone
	3:28pm Chris from DC: Electric Sandwich is a new one to me. Clicky.
	3:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Love the story how they just found him on the street?? There is our Singer...& it was so...
	3:28pm Zetti: Fab dab session.
	3:31pm Fabio: @Catalpa: Yes, all of CAN's songs have english lyrics I believe.
	3:33pm Chi Bill: Woah, I was 14 in 1972, it's almost embarrassing I never heard of Electric Sandwich until now but Thanks Fabio!
	🎸 ♥ 3:34pm Bas NL: They found Damo in the streets, kind of stoned.. Do you have anything to do tonight? -No. We're on stage tonight.. wanna be our singer? -Yes
	♥ 3:35pm coelacanth∅: greetings
	♥ 3:37pm coelacanth∅: a lot of albums are 50 years old this year, as 1969 was smack in the heart of the electric music renaissance.
	♥ 3:37pm tim from champaign: Actually, Exorcist III isn't half bad. George C Scott!
	3:37pm scobot: The Heretic.
	🎸 ♥ 3:38pm Lixiviated Life: starts with a ripple in the skin
	3:38pm MelindafromAustin: I’m very disappointed in you Fabio - get your Exorcists straight.
	♥ 3:39pm coelacanth∅: (exorcist kind of like Hank Williams? it skips a generation?)
	🎸 ♥ 3:39pm chresti: I've not seen ANY of the Exorcists
	3:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Abbey Road like today.
	3:40pm Fox: On the contrary, Exorcist III is quite excellent. It's one of my favorite films. It was based on a novel by Blatty, and the screenplay was adapted and then the film was directed by Blatty as well. Its got George C Scott, phenomenal snappy dialogue, and a the movie is stolen by Brad Douriff. It was released in 1990 I think, but manages to feel like a seventies film.
	♥ 3:40pm tim from champaign: Good analogy, coelacanth!
	3:41pm Catalpa: Thanks, Fabio.
	🎸 ♥ 3:41pm Lixiviated Life: colors change the surface undulates
	3:41pm mb: Digging the bass heavy set today. Keep bringing it Fabios
	3:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I'm So Loathsome I Could Cry
	3:42pm Fox: The original novel, Legion, was unrelated to Exorcist, but the exec's made him loop it into the universe so it could be part of the series.
	3:42pm Brendan: Any tour of DC requires driving to the Exxon at the Whitehurst Freeway /Canal Rd intersection and seeing the stairs that the film climaxed with.
	🎸 ♥ 3:42pm Lixiviated Life: the floor opens and you're gone
	3:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Abbey Road in fact featuring Synthesizer.
	3:43pm mb: @chresti: Same here. Never seen them in full, i might add.
	♥ 3:44pm steveo: It also features a large, dark and well-lit stage. As you go up the stairs that lead up to the stage, you will be greeted by the stage show. You will soon see the stage name "Symphony of Melodies on a Dance Floor." You will learn that the two large instruments in the middle (and the two sets of drums), a Mellotron and an Ensemble Mellotron are the main features of this production.
	♥ 3:44pm Ike: Although I'm not much for horror (besides Evil Dead II of course), that sounds good. I love both George C. Scott and Brad Dourif.
	🎸 ♥ 3:45pm Lixiviated Life: starts with a ripple in the skin colors change the surface undulates the floor opens and you're gone. You are gone
	3:45pm Fox: Oh! And Exorcist III also has a cameo of the other (blonde and beefy) Fabio!
	♥ 3:47pm coelacanth∅: chresti (3.39) nor have i, but seen scenes from the first one
	3:47pm Brendan: Those stairs are our ‘Rocky statue’ so to speak. Which in itself is another altogether weird concept - a statue of a fictional film character .
	3:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: i.ytimg.com...
	♥ 3:49pm coelacanth∅: (the blonde and beefy flash-in-the-pan Fabio, as opposed to the legendary commander-of-the-Failure-army Fabio)
	3:50pm Fredericks: This is the A.R. and Machines guy.
	♥ 3:52pm coelacanth∅: sounded like a pow wow for a second!
	3:53pm Catalpa: I loved that Exorcist 3 track. I heard that David Lynch's Mullholland Drive was actually his remake of Exorcist 3.
	3:53pm Fox: (Sorry for the typos and misplaced apostrophes. I'm typing on my phone) Coel: we have the superior Fabio by far.
	3:53pm Fredericks: Makes me miss the original GarageBand Apple put out.
	3:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sounds remarkably like what me & a friend came up with let loose on a cassette 4-track & some digital box he had...
	3:56pm Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Fox, thanks for the run-down of Exorcist III. I have avoided it like "Jaws III" assuming it was similarly just flogging the hog. Now I will definitely seek it out, sounds fun.
	4:02pm Brendan: A couple of pals and I snuck into the Exorcist at the theatre in the old mall in Rockville Md when the movie first came out, I was 9 years old. We learned to open the emergency exit doors down front by the screen and sneak along the ground into the first row seats. (Came in handy for sex education when they showed the odd softcore pornos). Anyway we slipped in and watctched the Exorcist, terrified. One friend spent the entire movie sitting with the seat half folded in a 45 degree V bend pulling his knees to his chest. When the film ended we went to leave and his legs where asleep and he simply could not walk but rather fell to the ground writhing. We thought him posessed at first then laughed really hard and dragged him out. We all slept over at his house that night . Whenever someone had to pee we would do it out the front window of the house - we were terrified to go down the dark hallway after that movie.
	4:06pm Catalpa: Funny story, Brendan ;)
	4:11pm Chris from DC: Rockville Mall, wow hadn't thought about that in a while.
	🎸 ♥ 4:15pm chresti: Brendan- I used to do that too, put my feet on the seat in front of me and peek through my knees
	4:17pm Catalpa: I heard the volunteers are periodically locked into WFMU like poor WalMart workers. Pseu is like a saint!
	♥ 4:27pm Franco Twinkie: Brendan, I had not seen the movie in 1974 when a friend and I drove across the country. I ate some suspect breakfast sausage at some dump in Eastern New Mexico, so by the time we were in the Texas panhandle I was doubled over with a case of food poisoning. At that time, across this great country of ours was this road stop nightmare called Stuckey's, who were famous for their Pecan Log, or some shit like that. I was in the stifling hot restroom on my knees trying to puke when I looked up to where someone had scratched into the paint: Your mother sucks cocks in Hell - The Exorsist. That did it! The flood gates opened.
	4:29pm Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Catalpa, that's an interesting take on Mulholland Drive. Of course it started as a pilot for TV but was (shocker) deemed "too weird". He later added some scenes, notably the hot sex scene between Naomi Watts and Laura Elena Harring and edited the whole mess into an amazing piece of film, certainly one of my favorites of all time!
	4:29pm Brendan: @ Chris from DC, I try not to think of it intentionally. The mall had a Waxie Maxies record store an Orange Julius, a ‘magic store’ that sold prank stuff, an arcade and a bunch of other small boutique stores . I think they might have even had a head shop with bongs, papers , and some hideous fake weed that was probably oregano
	♥ 4:34pm coelacanth∅: good stories Brendan and Franco Thanks
	4:34pm Brendan: @Franco Twinkie - I saw the Stuckey’s ads on countless billboards but never had the pleasure of stopping for one. Thanks for the tip on the pecan loaf , Sounds like it might be better to skip the middle man , not eat it and drop that one directly in the toilet.
	🎸 ♥ 4:35pm Devin B.: That's a good skip!
	♥ 4:38pm Ike: @Itzall, one of the most profound disappointments in the history of TV was ABC nixing that series before it ever got beyond a pilot. It should've gone straight to HBO or Showtime! Sadly premium cable was not really doing that much of that kind of thing yet then.
	🎸 ♥ 4:43pm chresti: I remember alfalfa as a mock pot at one time
	♥ 4:44pm coelacanth∅: i recall a song i heard on wfmy in the 80s -probably Ken's show- called "sticky damn stucky", i think. i wonder if it was about stuckey's...
	♥ 4:45pm coelacanth∅: (or maybe it was wfmU)
	4:46pm Catalpa: @Itzall, I absolutely love Mulholland Drive--to me it is genius, high art, like a dream, unexplainable--wondrous and beautiful. I was just kidding about Lynch doing that as a remake of Exorcist 3--I was just trying to BLOW...YOUR....MINDS....!!!!!
	4:48pm Catalpa: @Franco--I love your story. Please don't ask me to tell you my Burger King Whaler saga.
	4:52pm Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Catalpa, NICE TRY, buddy, mine's done blown!
	4:54pm Catalpa: OH..... MY........GOD (or should I say SATAN)--at the Metrograph!
	4:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Every Lynch is a distinct Dream-mare. Lived in Santa Barbara 16 years - & Mullhollond captures something about SoCal amazingly...
	♥ 4:55pm Franco Twinkie: Scroll forward to the late '70's - The Exorcist was playing for a dollar at The Wiltern, which had yet to be resurrected as fine-ass concert venue. It was a total wreck where poor Mexicans would dump their kids instead of getting a babysitter. As we were driving down Olympic Blvd. smoking dope I was already getting apprehensive (I grew up Catholic) By time we were inside the smelly theater with all the broken seats and kids running around screaming, I was in complete turmoil. At the beginning the movie during the archeological dig scene I was looking at the floor. It didn't improve, but when Linda Blair utters those famous words, I burst out laughing! We stopped for ice cream on the way home. It was great,
	4:55pm Fox: I saw Mullholland Drive at the Jersey City movie palace a few months ago. It was exciting because I got to see a Lynch film at a theater that still used red curtains.
	♥ 4:56pm common: Faboio. All. Nashville!
	♥ 4:56pm chris: "!no ay banda!" - brilliant. ciao, Fabio and peeps.
	4:56pm Catalpa: FABoo!!!!!!!!
	4:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: People wish they could do Surrealism in Movies / TV like Lynch.
	4:57pm Catalpa: I love Gary Oldman--have for a long time. He's smart.
	4:59pm Fox: OMFG, Gary Oldman is in a new Soderberg film?!?! Egad. Oldman is always incredible. Remember that absolute shit movie Lost In Space? Heather Graham and Matt LeBlanc and everything about it was agony. but Oldman 's performance was absolutely brilliant.
	♥ 4:59pm Franco Twinkie: Catapla, PLEASE tell me the Burger King story!
	5:00pm Catalpa: Okay, Franco, I will. If you spell my name right...
	5:00pm Brendan: I thought he was amazing in The Professional
	5:02pm Fox: He perfectly captured the original Dr Smith, without making it camp or a caricature. while also making him utterly evil. I would watch Gary Oldman in literally anything.
	♥ 5:03pm Franco Twinkie: C-A-T-A-L-P-A.
	5:03pm Brendan: https://youtu.be/KvK1LDRo4_A
	5:05pm ?: BIGNONIA, trumpet creeper
	5:07pm Catalpa: Actually, something more in line with your Stuckey's story, Franco, would be a madcap tale involving the consumption of a handful of NoDoz, a Dunkin Donuts restroom, and a misperception of chocolate icing during an early morning rendez vous for a concert in the 70s.... but I will save that for next week as I am getting out of work early. Hurrah! Thanks, Fabio and everyobody.
	5:08pm Catalpa: I'll say this--my BK whaler story has some elements in common with Jaws (the movie)...
	♥ 5:08pm Franco Twinkie: I'll wait right here!
	5:16pm nic: love this!!!
	♥ 5:20pm WillCrete: That tambura prelude of Vetter's at the start of the set indeed primed my ears very well for this Ankersmit piece. Thanks for the fine set of sounds this afternoon.
	🎸 ♥ 5:21pm Bas NL: Hey! I was there at the Ankersmit concert!
	5:23pm Fox: Thank you for tickling my brain with such great sounds today, Fabio!
	5:25pm VincentNifigance: @Fox Good thing you’d watch Oldman in anything, because ‘anything’ seems to be his standard for choosing roles! I love him, but I wish he was more discerning about what he does.
	5:26pm geezerette: What Fox said! thanks, Fabio!
	🎸 ♥ 5:28pm Bas NL: Today's just... Fabioloso!
	♥ 5:31pm Ike: Though Netflix's Lost in Space is middling, Parker Posey is actually great in it as Dr. Smith. The whole cast is pretty good. I just wish the show itself was a little bit better. It's a hell of a lot better than the source material, that's for sure, but it's still not quite... something.
	5:31pm nic: WoW_i'd love to hear the messed up version !!!
	5:32pm Fox: Vincent: evidently he got on the wrong side of Hollywood and ended up on a kind of shit list. I think his politics were right of center in some ways? He was besties with Bowie, though, so I dont know how right he could be. He also has the attitude of taking a crap but well paying role so that he could do the creative projects he wanted. Like Lost in Space he did specifically so he could finance Nil by Mouth. I wish he did theater. I'd looooove to see him on broadway.
	5:34pm Fox: Ike: I've been meaning to check that out if only for Parker Posey's interpretation.
	5:34pm yippie: Like the porest album tourrorists
	🎸 ♥ 5:36pm Bas NL: Ankersmit was 2007. As part of the brilliant Rumor festival series..now defunct due to lack of money.. Argg.. It was a great concept. One night, three novel but very varied acts in three different venues. Kind of a failure roadshow.
	🎸 ♥ 5:36pm ottovonbqe: I was in a tiny cafe in Hudson finishing a sandwich. Parker Posey and her dog came in and she ordered and looked for a place to sit. I gave her my table.
	♥ 5:36pm Rich in Washington: As Andrei Codrescu said "Tourists are terrorists with cameras, while terrorists are tourists with guns."
	5:38pm VincentNifigance: @Fox that’s interesting, I hadn’t heard that about his politics and Hollywood. That’s what I always thought re: Lost in Space and financing his own work, I followed him closely in the late 90s and was disappointed until Nil By Mouth. I hope he has something else up his sleeve.
	5:43pm nic: love/love
	🎸 ♥ 5:47pm Bas NL: Rude awakening..Drifted off with the music and spilled my coffee in my lap!
	🎸 ♥ 5:47pm chresti: Very lovely show, thanks Fabio and strong peoples!
	🎸 ♥ 5:58pm chresti: Oops! I've done that before, @Bas
	🎸 ♥ 5:58pm dale: nice parting shot with the colin blunstone.
	♥ 5:58pm northguineahills: Thanks, Fabio!
	🎸 ♥ 5:59pm Bas NL: Thanks Fabio! Excellent three hours of music!
	♥ 6:29pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Fabio!

I was in the stifling hot restroom on my knees trying to puke when I looked up to where someone had scratched into the paint: Your mother sucks cocks in Hell - The Exorsist. That did it! The flood gates opened.
	4:29pm Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Catalpa, that's an interesting take on Mulholland Drive. Of course it started as a pilot for TV but was (shocker) deemed "too weird". He later added some scenes, notably the hot sex scene between Naomi Watts and Laura Elena Harring and edited the whole mess into an amazing piece of film, certainly one of my favorites of all time!
	4:29pm Brendan: @ Chris from DC, I try not to think of it intentionally. The mall had a Waxie Maxies record store an Orange Julius, a ‘magic store’ that sold prank stuff, an arcade and a bunch of other small boutique stores . I think they might have even had a head shop with bongs, papers , and some hideous fake weed that was probably oregano
	♥ 4:34pm coelacanth∅: good stories Brendan and Franco Thanks
	4:34pm Brendan: @Franco Twinkie - I saw the Stuckey’s ads on countless billboards but never had the pleasure of stopping for one. Thanks for the tip on the pecan loaf , Sounds like it might be better to skip the middle man , not eat it and drop that one directly in the toilet.
	🎸 ♥ 4:35pm Devin B.: That's a good skip!
	♥ 4:38pm Ike: @Itzall, one of the most profound disappointments in the history of TV was ABC nixing that series before it ever got beyond a pilot. It should've gone straight to HBO or Showtime! Sadly premium cable was not really doing that much of that kind of thing yet then.
	🎸 ♥ 4:43pm chresti: I remember alfalfa as a mock pot at one time
	♥ 4:44pm coelacanth∅: i recall a song i heard on wfmy in the 80s -probably Ken's show- called "sticky damn stucky", i think. i wonder if it was about stuckey's...
	♥ 4:45pm coelacanth∅: (or maybe it was wfmU)
	4:46pm Catalpa: @Itzall, I absolutely love Mulholland Drive--to me it is genius, high art, like a dream, unexplainable--wondrous and beautiful. I was just kidding about Lynch doing that as a remake of Exorcist 3--I was just trying to BLOW...YOUR....MINDS....!!!!!
	4:48pm Catalpa: @Franco--I love your story. Please don't ask me to tell you my Burger King Whaler saga.
	4:52pm Itzall ClearD'me Nåu: Catalpa, NICE TRY, buddy, mine's done blown!
	4:54pm Catalpa: OH..... MY........GOD (or should I say SATAN)--at the Metrograph!
	4:54pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Every Lynch is a distinct Dream-mare. Lived in Santa Barbara 16 years - & Mullhollond captures something about SoCal amazingly...
	♥ 4:55pm Franco Twinkie: Scroll forward to the late '70's - The Exorcist was playing for a dollar at The Wiltern, which had yet to be resurrected as fine-ass concert venue. It was a total wreck where poor Mexicans would dump their kids instead of getting a babysitter. As we were driving down Olympic Blvd. smoking dope I was already getting apprehensive (I grew up Catholic) By time we were inside the smelly theater with all the broken seats and kids running around screaming, I was in complete turmoil. At the beginning the movie during the archeological dig scene I was looking at the floor. It didn't improve, but when Linda Blair utters those famous words, I burst out laughing! We stopped for ice cream on the way home. It was great,
	4:55pm Fox: I saw Mullholland Drive at the Jersey City movie palace a few months ago. It was exciting because I got to see a Lynch film at a theater that still used red curtains.
	♥ 4:56pm common: Faboio. All. Nashville!
	♥ 4:56pm chris: "!no ay banda!" - brilliant. ciao, Fabio and peeps.
	4:56pm Catalpa: FABoo!!!!!!!!
	4:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: People wish they could do Surrealism in Movies / TV like Lynch.
	4:57pm Catalpa: I love Gary Oldman--have for a long time. He's smart.
	4:59pm Fox: OMFG, Gary Oldman is in a new Soderberg film?!?! Egad. Oldman is always incredible. Remember that absolute shit movie Lost In Space? Heather Graham and Matt LeBlanc and everything about it was agony. but Oldman 's performance was absolutely brilliant.
	♥ 4:59pm Franco Twinkie: Catapla, PLEASE tell me the Burger King story!
	5:00pm Catalpa: Okay, Franco, I will. If you spell my name right...
	5:00pm Brendan: I thought he was amazing in The Professional
	5:02pm Fox: He perfectly captured the original Dr Smith, without making it camp or a caricature. while also making him utterly evil. I would watch Gary Oldman in literally anything.
	♥ 5:03pm Franco Twinkie: C-A-T-A-L-P-A.
	5:03pm Brendan: https://youtu.be/KvK1LDRo4_A
	5:05pm ?: BIGNONIA, trumpet creeper
	5:07pm Catalpa: Actually, something more in line with your Stuckey's story, Franco, would be a madcap tale involving the consumption of a handful of NoDoz, a Dunkin Donuts restroom, and a misperception of chocolate icing during an early morning rendez vous for a concert in the 70s.... but I will save that for next week as I am getting out of work early. Hurrah! Thanks, Fabio and everyobody.
	5:08pm Catalpa: I'll say this--my BK whaler story has some elements in common with Jaws (the movie)...
	♥ 5:08pm Franco Twinkie: I'll wait right here!
	5:16pm nic: love this!!!
	♥ 5:20pm WillCrete: That tambura prelude of Vetter's at the start of the set indeed primed my ears very well for this Ankersmit piece. Thanks for the fine set of sounds this afternoon.
	🎸 ♥ 5:21pm Bas NL: Hey! I was there at the Ankersmit concert!
	5:23pm Fox: Thank you for tickling my brain with such great sounds today, Fabio!
	5:25pm VincentNifigance: @Fox Good thing you’d watch Oldman in anything, because ‘anything’ seems to be his standard for choosing roles! I love him, but I wish he was more discerning about what he does.
	5:26pm geezerette: What Fox said! thanks, Fabio!
	🎸 ♥ 5:28pm Bas NL: Today's just... Fabioloso!
	♥ 5:31pm Ike: Though Netflix's Lost in Space is middling, Parker Posey is actually great in it as Dr. Smith. The whole cast is pretty good. I just wish the show itself was a little bit better. It's a hell of a lot better than the source material, that's for sure, but it's still not quite... something.
	5:31pm nic: WoW_i'd love to hear the messed up version !!!
	5:32pm Fox: Vincent: evidently he got on the wrong side of Hollywood and ended up on a kind of shit list. I think his politics were right of center in some ways? He was besties with Bowie, though, so I dont know how right he could be. He also has the attitude of taking a crap but well paying role so that he could do the creative projects he wanted. Like Lost in Space he did specifically so he could finance Nil by Mouth. I wish he did theater. I'd looooove to see him on broadway.
	5:34pm Fox: Ike: I've been meaning to check that out if only for Parker Posey's interpretation.
	5:34pm yippie: Like the porest album tourrorists
	🎸 ♥ 5:36pm Bas NL: Ankersmit was 2007. As part of the brilliant Rumor festival series..now defunct due to lack of money.. Argg.. It was a great concept. One night, three novel but very varied acts in three different venues. Kind of a failure roadshow.
	🎸 ♥ 5:36pm ottovonbqe: I was in a tiny cafe in Hudson finishing a sandwich. Parker Posey and her dog came in and she ordered and looked for a place to sit. I gave her my table.
	♥ 5:36pm Rich in Washington: As Andrei Codrescu said "Tourists are terrorists with cameras, while terrorists are tourists with guns."
	5:38pm VincentNifigance: @Fox that’s interesting, I hadn’t heard that about his politics and Hollywood. That’s what I always thought re: Lost in Space and financing his own work, I followed him closely in the late 90s and was disappointed until Nil By Mouth. I hope he has something else up his sleeve.
	5:43pm nic: love/love
	🎸 ♥ 5:47pm Bas NL: Rude awakening..Drifted off with the music and spilled my coffee in my lap!
	🎸 ♥ 5:47pm chresti: Very lovely show, thanks Fabio and strong peoples!
	🎸 ♥ 5:58pm chresti: Oops! I've done that before, @Bas
	🎸 ♥ 5:58pm dale: nice parting shot with the colin blunstone.
	♥ 5:58pm northguineahills: Thanks, Fabio!
	🎸 ♥ 5:59pm Bas NL: Thanks Fabio! Excellent three hours of music!
	♥ 6:29pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Fabio!
