	3:12pm Robm: Fellow listeners did vangelis do the theme form chariots of fire?
	3:13pm lazy pierogi: <333
	3:13pm Miss G: Beautiful mood to begin the afternoon. RIP Vangelis. Ahoy hoy, all.
	3:13pm The Last Phillip: Wow😭 I have maybe 20 of his albums on my ipod touch
	🎸 ♥ 3:13pm listener james from westwood: @Robm Indeed he did.
	♥ 3:13pm Yes: greetings
	3:14pm The Last Phillip: "DIRECT" is one of my favorite albums. Track one "motion of the stars" gives me goose bumps listening to it😔😔😭
	3:14pm Robm: @Listener james I figured that, just wanted it from the listmind
	♥ 3:15pm HyperDose: It's going to be okay, Phillip! We can grieve together 📻✨
	3:15pm go.forth.and.thrash____: double Hortense x's 2
	3:16pm go.forth.and.thrash____: the future is Greek
	♥ 3:17pm Booz: 666 was my fave lp as a teen, which made me seem a very bad punk
	3:17pm Robm: @Hyperdose we are going to be a lot more of that in future years
	🎸 ♥ 3:17pm Crosby in KC: I was just thinking how I'm not really familiar with Vangelis except blade Runner and Chariots of fire. I have the feeling I'm going to get an education today.
	3:17pm Miss G: Have really played _so often_ during these past months (has it been a year? or?) when I first heard it on this show. Just sent it to a friend
	3:17pm nic: love this!!!
	3:18pm go.forth.and.thrash____: rub some Vangelis on your chest and punch some hummus
	3:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: <3 BadPunx
	♥ 3:19pm efd: I was sadly hoping for this.
	3:21pm Robm: If trump gets elected again, this will be our theme song
	🎸 ♥ 3:21pm joe mulligan: oh dang this Vangelis news is like not even an hour old?
	3:21pm go.forth.and.thrash____: everyone get out your goats!
	3:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Seriously - needed this. Not quite in the mood for bad news - but I'll try & be a good Buddhist & celebrate this Creative's life & wish his Spirit wind under his wings.
	3:22pm Gnomon: If anyone here is into really aggressive modern metal, Rotting Christ does a really good cover of Four Horsemen that is actually significantly slower than the original.
	🎸 ♥ 3:22pm joe mulligan: apparently he passed away on Tuesday?
	🎸 ♥ 3:23pm Carmichael: Wow, what a friggin' JAMMER.
	3:23pm Miss G: Thank you for your avatar RRN63. Last night in my dream I was wearing that Who tee shirt ("Maximum RnB") (but mine was white - I mean, in real life)
	♥ 3:24pm efd: I have been waiting for YEARS for someone to do this song at Hoof & Mouth so I can play drums on it.
	3:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Miss G: Joey & Townshend b. 19th May ...so where is my t-shirt of JoeyRamone wearing his Who t-shirt...
	🎸 ♥ 3:24pm Handy Haversack: Do you hear efd, Fabio? 2023!
	3:25pm KittenVillage: Once on an acid trip in Tucson, the wall opened up and I saw the horsemen approaching. The group i was with all consoled me, but no one turned off the record.
	3:26pm bobobob dublon Plasticland: @ Fabio..This mornin Clay Pidgeon said your a closet Air Supply fan and the leader of the Air Supply fan club ..is this True??????
	3:26pm Miss G: RRN63, oh yes, both of them! Maybe my dream self knew more than my awake self. I hope you get the double shirt!
	3:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: KittenVillage - choose your Shamans wisely ...haha...
	3:27pm Robm: Might as well clicky star this whole show
	🎸 ♥ 3:27pm dale: i've pre-clicky starred the aphrodite's child. i musta had good taste at one point.
	🎸 ♥ 3:29pm dale: i didn't know vangelis rocked this hard.
	3:29pm Brendan: This set is really sticking it to the man! Power to the people!
	3:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Veritable GlamStomper.
	3:30pm Miss G: C'mon! Oh man those drums!
	3:31pm Jameson57: Vangelis!? Really?! Noooo....Well, nobody lives forever. His music will.
	♥ 3:31pm G: Sad news, Vangelis. Jon Anderson wanted to bring him into Yes during one period in the later 70s.
	🎸 ♥ 3:33pm dale: jesus h - had to google and see he passed on to another realm.
	♥ 3:33pm Booz: Vangelis, in particular, is at his best with a bit of surface noise
	3:33pm Jameson57: Yeah, maybe we'll hear some Jon Anderson and Vangelis. They were good friends.
	3:34pm Marie: Wow, love this. Those lyrics/words were so powerful. I have gotten much of my musical education on FMU--gotta say I do not know about Vangelis OP--sounding amazing. Thanks, Fabio!
	♥ 3:34pm Jeff Moore: Are you playing this vinyl on one of those discerning audiophile turntables? (joke from another thread)
	3:34pm Jameson57: This Earth is some good shite. Really good!!
	3:35pm The Last Phillip: The sun 🌞 is finally peeking thru the clouds where I live
	3:36pm Robm: @Marie with this station it is a CE and one we are glad to get the education
	3:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: So it seems clear he not only had a distinctive - indeed pioneering audio signature - but a particular thematic vision & intent. One is often grateful for an Artist with even one of those...
	♥ 3:38pm Chris J: Was listening OTA and heard all the Vangelis pieces and knew something must be up. R.I.P.!
	3:38pm tak: flood
	♥ 3:38pm Yes: beautiful
	3:40pm The Last Phillip: First Florian Schneider of kraftwerk, then Klause Schultz now 😭😭vangelis😭😭
	3:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...how much earlier than Eno/Bowie Low was this??...
	🎸 ♥ 3:41pm joe mulligan: I'd be ok with three hours of Vangelis during this show
	🎸 ♥ 3:43pm Ken From Hyde Park: Wow, big time failure!
	3:43pm Fabio: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I'd say 3-4 years or so.
	♥ 3:43pm Hubig Pie: Moody, somber. Pairs well with the snow falling outside. All I knew about Vangelis was Chariots of Fire, which I only know from N.L. Vacation.
	3:43pm The Last Phillip: 😔I'm going to take an extra dose of my psych meds😔
	♥ 3:45pm ChukAmok: Hubig: Where are you that it's snowing?
	3:46pm nick: It’s pronounced with a soft “g” like gary, and the “s” is silent.
	♥ 3:47pm Hubig Pie: Chuk- Black Hills, East-northern West Dakota
	3:47pm tak: composer's cut
	3:47pm Altered Beeps: R E S Q U I A M I N P A C E
	♥ 3:49pm slugluv1313: greetings, Fabio! Failures! MAJOR failure right from the start: i missed We Were All Uprooted and The Four Horsemen and Loud Loud Loud and all this other wonderful Vangelis music . . . gotta get back to work, but glad to be home and listening with you all :)
	♥ 3:49pm rsj: i called that blade runner track on the first note, definitely put me into that mind
	♥ 3:49pm rsj: felt like a skin job myself
	3:49pm P-90: Another loss to Covid. I feel like punching the wall. Or crying. Or both.
	3:49pm Jameson57: Jon Anderson sings on that Albedo album.
	♥ 3:50pm ChukAmok: Hubig: Beautiful country up there. It's 86F here. Going to be a brutal summer.
	♥ 3:51pm slugluv1313: @Threemoons - WOW! very very cool -- i saw Blade Runner on the big screen too when it was released, but not with a live orchestra! AND at Radio City!
	3:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: P-90 ...Yes.
	3:51pm Neebz: Van Gell (hard g) Iss
	🎸 ♥ 3:51pm dale: i listened to a lot of marshall tucker charlie daniels and kiss at my friends' house. i'd show up with moody blues and renaissance and genesis and get laughed at.
	3:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...or punching ...someone.
	♥ 3:52pm Hubig Pie: Chuk, it'll get toasty warm here at some point too.
	♥ 3:56pm G: Man, Fabio namechecked Kings Plaza Mall. That place had gotten to be such a dump by the time I lived in BK in the early 10s. You also had to pay to park there lol
	3:57pm Robm: @P-90 you and me both, lot of it could have been prevented
	3:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I was too engrained an Eclecticist & far too AntiSocial generally to really expect anything different ...tho I did have one MetalHead friend I related to about Musics & Gittarz whose horizons I tried to expand with the English Beat & who remembers what else @ the time ...guess wha degree of success that met w/ ...otoh, my appreciation of Sabbath has just grown - so perhaps I actually concede somewhat...
	3:57pm Tony: I thought in Greek g was pronounced more like a y? Also, I wish it was snowing here. Instead the weather is ideal for a forest fire.
	3:58pm Jameson57: g.....like in gyro
	♥ 3:58pm slugluv1313: @dale -- hah! similar here: when Foxtrot was released, i went looking for it at a local record department (maybe Two Guys? Korvettes?) -- asked the dude behind the counter where i could find it, and he told me that he did not know who Genesis was
	♥ 3:59pm G: I've heard people in the hardcore Yes community pronounce it VAN-jell-iss, like rhyming with Los Angeles. But who knows, they may not really know haha
	4:00pm Robm: @Skugluv before phil collins sang or after
	4:00pm Robm: I meant slugluv sorry
	4:01pm Marie: @RobM--right on, bro.
	4:02pm Jameson57: My last name is often mis-pronounced. I asked my father once what was the proper way to say our last name. He said it didn't matter. Same with Vangelis I suppose.
	4:02pm P-90: Speaking for the “hard-core Yes community,” the members of the band usually say “van-GELL-iss”
	♥ 4:02pm ChukAmok: @dale Tommy Caldwell is buried about five miles from where I sit.
	4:04pm Jameson57: Everyone I know pronounces Vangelis like Fabio does. So.....
	♥ 4:05pm G: @Jameson57 3:33: Had to reboot totally before replying; I've done too darn much researching and typing on this laptop this week. Anyway -- Jon Anderson and Vangelis were tight, yes. Jon was moving in a more newagey and less rocky direction in the later 70s; see Anderson's 75 solo album Olias of Sunhillow. -- That's really what broke Yes up the first time. Howe and Squire wanted rock, Jon and Wakeman were going more newagey. The "Paris sessions" bootleg Yes material shows how newagey Jon's material was getting to be, and the Paris album sessions broke up over the resulting 'artistic differences,' also partly because White hurt himself skateboarding or something. Wakeman did a ton of newagey records in the 80s, partly because he always overspent his income and got divorced, needed fast money, and new age was a category that sold in the 80s.
	♥ 4:05pm ChukAmok: ...Not that I am all that invested in The Marshall Tucker Band.
	♥ 4:05pm Hubig Pie: Black Hills in Mayphotos.app.goo.gl...
	♥ 4:06pm G: @P-90: By “hard-core Yes community” I meant hardcore fans, not band members!
	4:06pm P-90: It was just on Sunday that I was listening to a recent interview with Steve Howe, he mentioned that period when Rick Wakeman left the band and Vangelis was invited to join.
	♥ 4:07pm slugluv1313: hiya Robm! 1972 -- when Phil Collins was the drummer, and Peter Gabriel was lead vocalist -- i had heard "Watcher of the Skies" on WNEW-FM, and was intrigued -- i eventually did track down the LP, still have it
	4:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hubig - even as a NewEngander gotta say damn.
	4:09pm Jameson57: G: thanks. Hopefully Fabio will play someJon/Vangelis later. (I am/was a a hard core Yes fan).
	4:09pm Robm: @Slugluv back before it was SSDD with commercial music radio
	4:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *NewEngLander ...actually been unseasonably warm here NewHampshuh (near Dartmouth) a week & 1/2 or so - rainy & 'normal' again now...
	♥ 4:09pm slugluv1313: @Hubig -- very pretty (even though it is freaking MAY!)
	♥ 4:10pm slugluv1313: @Robm -- yes, 1970s
	🎸 ♥ 4:17pm Carmichael: Man, working my ass off here, but listening the whole time. As for musical tastes, I rapidly left my friends behind with their Tom Petty and Foreigner. Once I heard Rock N Roll Animal, I was headed off into musical oblivion. Then I heard Amon Duul II, Hawkwind and Can. Now my friends try to stump me with "unkown" bands, but I know all of 'em from FMU.
	♥ 4:17pm chris in the redwoods: that Grab and Giudici piece was heavy and gloomy and excellent. thanks, Fabio!
	4:18pm Andres: Love this scene so much.
	♥ 4:18pm G: @Jameson57: "(I am/was a a hard core Yes fan)." -- Moi aussi, though there is certainly a ton of various interesting music out there. I was pretty networked in with hardcore Yes fans, especially in the 90s and early 00s when the internet was young -- probably have 300+ traded-for live-show CDs, "ROIOs" as we called them ("recordings of indeterminate origin" -- which wasn't actually always the truth, but sounded better than bootlegs) -- dating back as far as the late 60s. The band and management said "tape trading" (as it was still anachronistically called then) was fine with them, as long as we also bought their commercially released product. Big of them haha
	🎸 ♥ 4:18pm Handy Haversack: Men? Police ... men?
	4:19pm Ko: Revel in your time!
	4:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...then the hardcore Maybe fans ...who think Yes is just okay...
	♥ 4:20pm G: @P-90 4:06: Haven't seen a notice of that Howe interview yet, but I suspect I will haha. Did Howe comment on his current perspective as to why Vangelis did not happen?
	🎸 ♥ 4:21pm Handy Haversack: Morphology? Longevity? Incept dates?
	4:22pm Ko: That's not my kind of place. Yes? I always thought they were pronounced "Jess"
	♥ 4:27pm G: @Ko: VangelYes?
	♥ 4:28pm G: @RR63: Or, the Kindas. Actually, seems like some band would have used that name at some point.
	4:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Actually think even Yes's MTV Period were good examples of that...
	♥ 4:30pm G: @RR63: Kinda.
	4:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...some Solo Wakeman (HBD btw) may be well snoozeworthy - but that can't characterize him completely either...
	🎸 ♥ 4:31pm The Oscar: Color of Pomegranates is AMAZING-- jealous of anyone who can see it on the big screen this weekend!
	♥ 4:31pm HyperDose: Timeless movie
	♥ 4:36pm G: @RR63: Wakeman's best work in recent decades is Return to the Center of the Earth, maybe 1999, with the plummy-toned narration of Patrick Stewart.
	4:36pm Miss G: “As a matter of fact, I'm there right now.” ("Mulholland Drive") how many long distance phone calls ended with these scary words intoned darkly? for us, the language of love L ah, David Lynch
	🎸 ♥ 4:37pm Carmichael: I saw Yes at the Selland Arena in Fresno in '76. The next timew I saw them, in 2005 or so at the Concord Pavilion, their setlist was identical, except for the addition of Owner of a Lonely Heart.
	4:39pm Miss G: Martina Bertoni what a beautiful piece. I have the luminous Sylvia Sidney on in the background and it matches perfectly.
	♥ 4:41pm G: @Carmichael: Yes's new material released in the 2010s is not overwhelming, really. The Ladder and Magnification (late 90s/early 00s) are very solid. But they are mainly a band that makes money touring now, so their sets are for 70s fans, primarily. In recent years they have started doing tours where they play entire 1970s albums in running order. They do change major instrumental solos up pretty interestingly from tour to tour, perhaps partly to avoid boredom.
	🎸 ♥ 4:43pm Handy Haversack: Totally, Miss G. "Go ahead, call me."
	🎸 ♥ 4:44pm Handy Haversack: Oh, wait, I am thinking of Lost Highway, which I think I love even more than Mulholland Drive.
	♥ 4:46pm steveo: Hello Fabio & everyone. Fantastic.
	4:46pm Miss G: HH can you tell I am SOOOOO spacey today. I have plenty to quote from "Mulholland Drive" but indeed, I was quoting from "Lost Highway." We saw "Mulholland Drive" at the Village East, October, 2001
	♥ 4:47pm slugluv1313: oh damn -- screening at Metrograph (Color of Pomegranates) into next week too -- Facets presented it last Friday in Chicago
	4:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Having lived in SantaBarbara in SoCal many years - Mulholland resonated with me pretty powerfully as expressing things about that which not much else ever does ('LA where even the sunshine is sinister' - RobynHitchcock)... The pleasure ('?') of LostHighway is actually still before me...
	♥ 4:47pm slugluv1313: hiya HyperDose!
	♥ 4:47pm Rich in Washington: Wow! This violin skronkage is scratching an itch I had no idea I had till now!
	🎸 ♥ 4:49pm Bas NL: It's very much like Tony Conrad's playing.
	🎸 ♥ 4:49pm Handy Haversack: We saw Mulholland Drive at the Chelsea movie theater. Was it that long ago? Word, Rich. This is great.
	4:50pm Marie: I thought Mulholland Drive was like an amazing capturing or creation of a momentous and almost divine dream that had its own internal logic
	♥ 4:51pm rsj: this is dutch version of happy birthday
	4:51pm nic: love this!!!
	4:52pm Miss G: HH, the last time the film came up here, I looked it up. We were at the WFMU record fair in that month. I have a lot of photos from that month. You know how the Village East is kind of like the theater at the end of MH? The two girls were watching "Llorando" and holding hands and crying and it was so scary I held his hand and began crying and I though I was in the movie and well. (this memory courtesy of Joanna Matteray I think!)
	4:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Way I put it is Lynch is always about how Surrealism relates to Narrative. But, he does it differently in each of his Works, depending on the demands of it. I thot the big twist in perspective in MulhollandDrive was a pretty neat cinematic trick. & from what I understand (which may be limited) - it was kinda repurposed from a TV pilot ?! So that even may have been from necessity! Anyhow...
	4:56pm Marie: Hey Handy, I was happy to meet K8 at the WFMU meetup at Mama Tried a couple of weeks ago. To me, Lynch is a highly gifted artist and one of my fave directors of all time
	4:57pm nic: love this!!!
	♥ 4:58pm steveo: ah yes, the lungs
	4:58pm Marie: @RR63--I'm not surprised. Some of the best art seems to come from having structures--they're like a bonus. Lars Von Trier is so interesting in his embrace of them.
	♥ 4:59pm HyperDose: Afternoon, Slug! Loving the foley-centric vibe of this set
	5:00pm Marie: Hey, not a big difference in meaning I guess but I meant to type "strictures" instead of "structures" above @)
	🎸 ♥ 5:00pm Handy Haversack: Hi, Marie! I posted a note to you last week or so, but I think you had popped out already. K8 had a great time meeting you too! I wish I'd been able to make it. We're actually on our way to Mama Tried in half an hour or so because K8's got a gig there tonight -- in case you're free! I love Lynch, too. I really like Mulholland Drive but thought and think it covered a lot of the same existential ground that Lost Highway already had but without LH's sense of humor.
	5:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Handy interesting. MHs tone is not happy that is true.
	5:04pm Marie: Hey Handy! Yes, I really enjoyed talking to her. You guys are so nice and cool @) Oh, yeah, wow, I would like to go but I am committed to getting some painting done today--though maybe I will impulsively drop that! I need to see Lost Highway again--I think I was drunk (like an idiot) when I first saw that @) I hope to meet up with you in person sometime too. I'm really hoping Michele has a meetup.
	♥ 5:05pm Ike: Really wanted that first 90 minutes of Mulholland Drive to be a TV series like it was originally supposed to be. I love it, but the last segment, filmed later in order to transform it from a TV pilot into a movie, is not quite as good.
	♥ 5:05pm Ike: *to be the first episode of a TV series
	5:06pm Miss G: Thank you Peter Jay Mick upstairs packing up my STF tee shirt! ;-) HH, ah, today's the day! You and K8 and Creek and Kills and the other bands and fans have a GREAT time! Wish I were there!
	5:06pm Marie: You know, I am glad that when I saw it, I did not know that it was originally supposed to be a TV show. So interesting--I would like to see it again soon now.
	♥ 5:06pm ChukAmok: That TV series was meant to be a Twin Peaks spin-off centered around the Audrey Horne character, correct?
	🎸 ♥ 5:07pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Miss G! Sun has come out, Brooklyn's warming up a bit. Should be a real nice night!
	5:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Right. I neither knew it was a 'Frankenstein' going in - nor have I even now seen LostHighway to compare. So the thing pivots & I just go - Woh! ...also, spoke to my own not entirely happy experience of SoCal, as I've said. So it was even a notable success in my ledger...
	♥ 5:13pm chris in the redwoods: seconding the 'wish i could be there' at Mama Tried tonight. have fun, Handy. kill it, K8 and C&K! :)
	5:14pm nic: love this!!!
	🎸 ♥ 5:15pm Handy Haversack: Wish you could too, Chris!
	5:16pm Marie: Yes, Handy--I hope you have a blast and that k8 and band bring the house dowN!
	♥ 5:16pm slugluv1313: hi Handy! yes, i wish i could be there too! one of these days . . . btw, those kittens are looking positively devilishly ADORABLE! and BAGPIPE the patient elder :)
	🎸 ♥ 5:16pm dale: this is some great doom and gloom here.
	5:17pm Marie: This sounds like evil (and like a slowed recording of some motor)
	♥ 5:18pm ChukAmok: Hoping for rain.
	5:18pm Marie: See, I can't get on the board sometimes cuz I get into it and then stop what I'm trying to do @)
	5:20pm Fredericks: From the other room, this sounded like The Balloon Farm running out of air.
	5:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I just put up my hands & throw the Dopamine my wallet...
	5:20pm Fredericks: This = LSD March
	🎸 ♥ 5:20pm Handy Haversack: Always a risk. I am not trying to do much right now other than have a glass of cider and watch the sparrows woo. slugluv, the kittens really adore him. It's amazing.
	5:27pm nic: love this!!!
	🎸 ♥ 5:32pm PaulRobeson1922: Hi Hi Hi WFMU Land
	5:32pm Fredericks: Is song of Libation the one that sounded like a broken accordion?
	5:35pm Dew Hickee: @Marie, the chatboard is a vortex of irresistible forces. Hello DJ Strength Through Failure with Fabio.
	🎸 ♥ 5:36pm Bas NL: Artist: Let's make some music Fabio would love to play and give it a title no one can pronounce.
	🎸 ♥ 5:36pm Handy Haversack: Gotta take off. Many thanks, Fabio! Great show and tribute. Stay strong, O my Failed Ones!
	5:37pm Miss G: No way! Isn't it like, 4:00?! I'll say ahead of time, thank you DJ Fabio for quite the afternoon, and cheers y'all. (expecting a call from the road from the kindest friend in the world, I made his ringtone on my phone "Hold On, I'm Comin'" by Sam & Dave)
	♥ 5:37pm chris in the redwoods: cya, Handy. enjoy! :)
	5:41pm Fredericks: This Terry Riley is mighty nice. Don't recall hearing of the album.
	5:50pm The Last Phillip: How long is @Ken- going to wait before posting the summer schedule
	5:51pm The Last Phillip: I really miss @bryce 😔😔😔
	♥ 5:52pm HyperDose: Bryce will rise again
	♥ 5:53pm slugluv1313: GoFundMe for Bryce: www.gofundme.com... (i finally had the $$ to donate!)
	5:54pm The Last Phillip: Maybe Professor Dum Dum will be on the schedule. I love it when hea on.
	🎸 ♥ 5:56pm PaulRobeson1922: To everything, turn… Thanks Fabio
	5:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...half thot this was JanisIan... ~ TY Always DJ Fabio ~
	🎸 ♥ 5:57pm dale: fabs, you love valley of the dolls. you were pretty broken up when patty duke passed.
	♥ 5:57pm HyperDose: Thanks for letting us lean on you, Fabio
	5:57pm bleubombersune: Fabio great afternoon of music all stay safe be well
	🎸 ♥ 5:57pm Carmichael: Thanks yet again, Fabio.
	5:58pm The Last Phillip: Time flys so fast.
	5:58pm Dew Hickee: Very interesting angles DJ Fabio, thanks.
	🎸 ♥ 5:59pm Carmichael: I thought Escape From The Valley of The Dolls was a bit much.
	🎸 ♥ 5:59pm Bas NL: Thanks Fabio! A fantastic musical journey again!
	♥ 5:59pm melinda: I once saw a midnight screening of Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, weird and fun
	♥ 5:59pm slugluv1313: fantastic show, Fabio -- thanks so much!
	♥ 5:59pm chris in the redwoods: thanks, Fabio!
	8:45pm enrique71: A little late to the party, but I immediately recognized the beginning of "Loud, Loud, Loud" because it was sampled on Del the Funky Homosapien's Deltron 3030!

	3:13pm lazy pierogi: <333

	🎸 ♥ 3:13pm listener james from westwood: @Robm Indeed he did.
	♥ 3:13pm Yes: greetings
	3:14pm The Last Phillip: "DIRECT" is one of my favorite albums. Track one "motion of the stars" gives me goose bumps listening to it😔😔😭
	3:14pm Robm: @Listener james I figured that, just wanted it from the listmind
	♥ 3:15pm HyperDose: It's going to be okay, Phillip! We can grieve together 📻✨
	3:15pm go.forth.and.thrash____: double Hortense x's 2
	3:16pm go.forth.and.thrash____: the future is Greek
	♥ 3:17pm Booz: 666 was my fave lp as a teen, which made me seem a very bad punk
	3:17pm Robm: @Hyperdose we are going to be a lot more of that in future years
	🎸 ♥ 3:17pm Crosby in KC: I was just thinking how I'm not really familiar with Vangelis except blade Runner and Chariots of fire. I have the feeling I'm going to get an education today.
	3:17pm Miss G: Have really played _so often_ during these past months (has it been a year? or?) when I first heard it on this show. Just sent it to a friend
	3:17pm nic: love this!!!
	3:18pm go.forth.and.thrash____: rub some Vangelis on your chest and punch some hummus
	3:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: <3 BadPunx
	♥ 3:19pm efd: I was sadly hoping for this.
	3:21pm Robm: If trump gets elected again, this will be our theme song
	🎸 ♥ 3:21pm joe mulligan: oh dang this Vangelis news is like not even an hour old?
	3:21pm go.forth.and.thrash____: everyone get out your goats!
	3:22pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Seriously - needed this. Not quite in the mood for bad news - but I'll try & be a good Buddhist & celebrate this Creative's life & wish his Spirit wind under his wings.
	3:22pm Gnomon: If anyone here is into really aggressive modern metal, Rotting Christ does a really good cover of Four Horsemen that is actually significantly slower than the original.
	🎸 ♥ 3:22pm joe mulligan: apparently he passed away on Tuesday?
	🎸 ♥ 3:23pm Carmichael: Wow, what a friggin' JAMMER.
	3:23pm Miss G: Thank you for your avatar RRN63. Last night in my dream I was wearing that Who tee shirt ("Maximum RnB") (but mine was white - I mean, in real life)
	♥ 3:24pm efd: I have been waiting for YEARS for someone to do this song at Hoof & Mouth so I can play drums on it.
	3:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Miss G: Joey & Townshend b. 19th May ...so where is my t-shirt of JoeyRamone wearing his Who t-shirt...
	🎸 ♥ 3:24pm Handy Haversack: Do you hear efd, Fabio? 2023!
	3:25pm KittenVillage: Once on an acid trip in Tucson, the wall opened up and I saw the horsemen approaching. The group i was with all consoled me, but no one turned off the record.
	3:26pm bobobob dublon Plasticland: @ Fabio..This mornin Clay Pidgeon said your a closet Air Supply fan and the leader of the Air Supply fan club ..is this True??????
	3:26pm Miss G: RRN63, oh yes, both of them! Maybe my dream self knew more than my awake self. I hope you get the double shirt!
	3:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: KittenVillage - choose your Shamans wisely ...haha...
	3:27pm Robm: Might as well clicky star this whole show
	🎸 ♥ 3:27pm dale: i've pre-clicky starred the aphrodite's child. i musta had good taste at one point.
	🎸 ♥ 3:29pm dale: i didn't know vangelis rocked this hard.
	3:29pm Brendan: This set is really sticking it to the man! Power to the people!
	3:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Veritable GlamStomper.
	3:30pm Miss G: C'mon! Oh man those drums!
	3:31pm Jameson57: Vangelis!? Really?! Noooo....Well, nobody lives forever. His music will.
	♥ 3:31pm G: Sad news, Vangelis. Jon Anderson wanted to bring him into Yes during one period in the later 70s.
	🎸 ♥ 3:33pm dale: jesus h - had to google and see he passed on to another realm.
	♥ 3:33pm Booz: Vangelis, in particular, is at his best with a bit of surface noise
	3:33pm Jameson57: Yeah, maybe we'll hear some Jon Anderson and Vangelis. They were good friends.
	3:34pm Marie: Wow, love this. Those lyrics/words were so powerful. I have gotten much of my musical education on FMU--gotta say I do not know about Vangelis OP--sounding amazing. Thanks, Fabio!
	♥ 3:34pm Jeff Moore: Are you playing this vinyl on one of those discerning audiophile turntables? (joke from another thread)
	3:34pm Jameson57: This Earth is some good shite. Really good!!
	3:35pm The Last Phillip: The sun 🌞 is finally peeking thru the clouds where I live
	3:36pm Robm: @Marie with this station it is a CE and one we are glad to get the education
	3:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: So it seems clear he not only had a distinctive - indeed pioneering audio signature - but a particular thematic vision & intent. One is often grateful for an Artist with even one of those...
	♥ 3:38pm Chris J: Was listening OTA and heard all the Vangelis pieces and knew something must be up. R.I.P.!
	3:38pm tak: flood
	♥ 3:38pm Yes: beautiful
	3:40pm The Last Phillip: First Florian Schneider of kraftwerk, then Klause Schultz now 😭😭vangelis😭😭
	3:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...how much earlier than Eno/Bowie Low was this??...
	🎸 ♥ 3:41pm joe mulligan: I'd be ok with three hours of Vangelis during this show
	🎸 ♥ 3:43pm Ken From Hyde Park: Wow, big time failure!
	3:43pm Fabio: @Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I'd say 3-4 years or so.
	♥ 3:43pm Hubig Pie: Moody, somber. Pairs well with the snow falling outside. All I knew about Vangelis was Chariots of Fire, which I only know from N.L. Vacation.
	3:43pm The Last Phillip: 😔I'm going to take an extra dose of my psych meds😔
	♥ 3:45pm ChukAmok: Hubig: Where are you that it's snowing?
	3:46pm nick: It’s pronounced with a soft “g” like gary, and the “s” is silent.
	♥ 3:47pm Hubig Pie: Chuk- Black Hills, East-northern West Dakota
	3:47pm tak: composer's cut
	3:47pm Altered Beeps: R E S Q U I A M I N P A C E
	♥ 3:49pm slugluv1313: greetings, Fabio! Failures! MAJOR failure right from the start: i missed We Were All Uprooted and The Four Horsemen and Loud Loud Loud and all this other wonderful Vangelis music . . . gotta get back to work, but glad to be home and listening with you all :)
	♥ 3:49pm rsj: i called that blade runner track on the first note, definitely put me into that mind
	♥ 3:49pm rsj: felt like a skin job myself
	3:49pm P-90: Another loss to Covid. I feel like punching the wall. Or crying. Or both.
	3:49pm Jameson57: Jon Anderson sings on that Albedo album.
	♥ 3:50pm ChukAmok: Hubig: Beautiful country up there. It's 86F here. Going to be a brutal summer.
	♥ 3:51pm slugluv1313: @Threemoons - WOW! very very cool -- i saw Blade Runner on the big screen too when it was released, but not with a live orchestra! AND at Radio City!
	3:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: P-90 ...Yes.
	3:51pm Neebz: Van Gell (hard g) Iss
	🎸 ♥ 3:51pm dale: i listened to a lot of marshall tucker charlie daniels and kiss at my friends' house. i'd show up with moody blues and renaissance and genesis and get laughed at.
	3:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...or punching ...someone.
	♥ 3:52pm Hubig Pie: Chuk, it'll get toasty warm here at some point too.
	♥ 3:56pm G: Man, Fabio namechecked Kings Plaza Mall. That place had gotten to be such a dump by the time I lived in BK in the early 10s. You also had to pay to park there lol
	3:57pm Robm: @P-90 you and me both, lot of it could have been prevented
	3:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I was too engrained an Eclecticist & far too AntiSocial generally to really expect anything different ...tho I did have one MetalHead friend I related to about Musics & Gittarz whose horizons I tried to expand with the English Beat & who remembers what else @ the time ...guess wha degree of success that met w/ ...otoh, my appreciation of Sabbath has just grown - so perhaps I actually concede somewhat...
	3:57pm Tony: I thought in Greek g was pronounced more like a y? Also, I wish it was snowing here. Instead the weather is ideal for a forest fire.
	3:58pm Jameson57: g.....like in gyro
	♥ 3:58pm slugluv1313: @dale -- hah! similar here: when Foxtrot was released, i went looking for it at a local record department (maybe Two Guys? Korvettes?) -- asked the dude behind the counter where i could find it, and he told me that he did not know who Genesis was
	♥ 3:59pm G: I've heard people in the hardcore Yes community pronounce it VAN-jell-iss, like rhyming with Los Angeles. But who knows, they may not really know haha
	4:00pm Robm: @Skugluv before phil collins sang or after
	4:00pm Robm: I meant slugluv sorry
	4:01pm Marie: @RobM--right on, bro.
	4:02pm Jameson57: My last name is often mis-pronounced. I asked my father once what was the proper way to say our last name. He said it didn't matter. Same with Vangelis I suppose.
	4:02pm P-90: Speaking for the “hard-core Yes community,” the members of the band usually say “van-GELL-iss”
	♥ 4:02pm ChukAmok: @dale Tommy Caldwell is buried about five miles from where I sit.
	4:04pm Jameson57: Everyone I know pronounces Vangelis like Fabio does. So.....
	♥ 4:05pm G: @Jameson57 3:33: Had to reboot totally before replying; I've done too darn much researching and typing on this laptop this week. Anyway -- Jon Anderson and Vangelis were tight, yes. Jon was moving in a more newagey and less rocky direction in the later 70s; see Anderson's 75 solo album Olias of Sunhillow. -- That's really what broke Yes up the first time. Howe and Squire wanted rock, Jon and Wakeman were going more newagey. The "Paris sessions" bootleg Yes material shows how newagey Jon's material was getting to be, and the Paris album sessions broke up over the resulting 'artistic differences,' also partly because White hurt himself skateboarding or something. Wakeman did a ton of newagey records in the 80s, partly because he always overspent his income and got divorced, needed fast money, and new age was a category that sold in the 80s.
	♥ 4:05pm ChukAmok: ...Not that I am all that invested in The Marshall Tucker Band.
	♥ 4:05pm Hubig Pie: Black Hills in Mayphotos.app.goo.gl...
	♥ 4:06pm G: @P-90: By “hard-core Yes community” I meant hardcore fans, not band members!
	4:06pm P-90: It was just on Sunday that I was listening to a recent interview with Steve Howe, he mentioned that period when Rick Wakeman left the band and Vangelis was invited to join.
	♥ 4:07pm slugluv1313: hiya Robm! 1972 -- when Phil Collins was the drummer, and Peter Gabriel was lead vocalist -- i had heard "Watcher of the Skies" on WNEW-FM, and was intrigued -- i eventually did track down the LP, still have it
	4:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hubig - even as a NewEngander gotta say damn.
	4:09pm Jameson57: G: thanks. Hopefully Fabio will play someJon/Vangelis later. (I am/was a a hard core Yes fan).
	4:09pm Robm: @Slugluv back before it was SSDD with commercial music radio
	4:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: *NewEngLander ...actually been unseasonably warm here NewHampshuh (near Dartmouth) a week & 1/2 or so - rainy & 'normal' again now...
	♥ 4:09pm slugluv1313: @Hubig -- very pretty (even though it is freaking MAY!)
	♥ 4:10pm slugluv1313: @Robm -- yes, 1970s
	🎸 ♥ 4:17pm Carmichael: Man, working my ass off here, but listening the whole time. As for musical tastes, I rapidly left my friends behind with their Tom Petty and Foreigner. Once I heard Rock N Roll Animal, I was headed off into musical oblivion. Then I heard Amon Duul II, Hawkwind and Can. Now my friends try to stump me with "unkown" bands, but I know all of 'em from FMU.
	♥ 4:17pm chris in the redwoods: that Grab and Giudici piece was heavy and gloomy and excellent. thanks, Fabio!
	4:18pm Andres: Love this scene so much.
	♥ 4:18pm G: @Jameson57: "(I am/was a a hard core Yes fan)." -- Moi aussi, though there is certainly a ton of various interesting music out there. I was pretty networked in with hardcore Yes fans, especially in the 90s and early 00s when the internet was young -- probably have 300+ traded-for live-show CDs, "ROIOs" as we called them ("recordings of indeterminate origin" -- which wasn't actually always the truth, but sounded better than bootlegs) -- dating back as far as the late 60s. The band and management said "tape trading" (as it was still anachronistically called then) was fine with them, as long as we also bought their commercially released product. Big of them haha
	🎸 ♥ 4:18pm Handy Haversack: Men? Police ... men?
	4:19pm Ko: Revel in your time!
	4:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...then the hardcore Maybe fans ...who think Yes is just okay...
	♥ 4:20pm G: @P-90 4:06: Haven't seen a notice of that Howe interview yet, but I suspect I will haha. Did Howe comment on his current perspective as to why Vangelis did not happen?
	🎸 ♥ 4:21pm Handy Haversack: Morphology? Longevity? Incept dates?
	4:22pm Ko: That's not my kind of place. Yes? I always thought they were pronounced "Jess"
	♥ 4:27pm G: @Ko: VangelYes?
	♥ 4:28pm G: @RR63: Or, the Kindas. Actually, seems like some band would have used that name at some point.
	4:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Actually think even Yes's MTV Period were good examples of that...
	♥ 4:30pm G: @RR63: Kinda.
	4:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...some Solo Wakeman (HBD btw) may be well snoozeworthy - but that can't characterize him completely either...
	🎸 ♥ 4:31pm The Oscar: Color of Pomegranates is AMAZING-- jealous of anyone who can see it on the big screen this weekend!
	♥ 4:31pm HyperDose: Timeless movie
	♥ 4:36pm G: @RR63: Wakeman's best work in recent decades is Return to the Center of the Earth, maybe 1999, with the plummy-toned narration of Patrick Stewart.
	4:36pm Miss G: “As a matter of fact, I'm there right now.” ("Mulholland Drive") how many long distance phone calls ended with these scary words intoned darkly? for us, the language of love L ah, David Lynch
	🎸 ♥ 4:37pm Carmichael: I saw Yes at the Selland Arena in Fresno in '76. The next timew I saw them, in 2005 or so at the Concord Pavilion, their setlist was identical, except for the addition of Owner of a Lonely Heart.
	4:39pm Miss G: Martina Bertoni what a beautiful piece. I have the luminous Sylvia Sidney on in the background and it matches perfectly.
	♥ 4:41pm G: @Carmichael: Yes's new material released in the 2010s is not overwhelming, really. The Ladder and Magnification (late 90s/early 00s) are very solid. But they are mainly a band that makes money touring now, so their sets are for 70s fans, primarily. In recent years they have started doing tours where they play entire 1970s albums in running order. They do change major instrumental solos up pretty interestingly from tour to tour, perhaps partly to avoid boredom.
	🎸 ♥ 4:43pm Handy Haversack: Totally, Miss G. "Go ahead, call me."
	🎸 ♥ 4:44pm Handy Haversack: Oh, wait, I am thinking of Lost Highway, which I think I love even more than Mulholland Drive.
	♥ 4:46pm steveo: Hello Fabio & everyone. Fantastic.
	4:46pm Miss G: HH can you tell I am SOOOOO spacey today. I have plenty to quote from "Mulholland Drive" but indeed, I was quoting from "Lost Highway." We saw "Mulholland Drive" at the Village East, October, 2001
	♥ 4:47pm slugluv1313: oh damn -- screening at Metrograph (Color of Pomegranates) into next week too -- Facets presented it last Friday in Chicago
	4:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Having lived in SantaBarbara in SoCal many years - Mulholland resonated with me pretty powerfully as expressing things about that which not much else ever does ('LA where even the sunshine is sinister' - RobynHitchcock)... The pleasure ('?') of LostHighway is actually still before me...
	♥ 4:47pm slugluv1313: hiya HyperDose!
	♥ 4:47pm Rich in Washington: Wow! This violin skronkage is scratching an itch I had no idea I had till now!
	🎸 ♥ 4:49pm Bas NL: It's very much like Tony Conrad's playing.
	🎸 ♥ 4:49pm Handy Haversack: We saw Mulholland Drive at the Chelsea movie theater. Was it that long ago? Word, Rich. This is great.
	4:50pm Marie: I thought Mulholland Drive was like an amazing capturing or creation of a momentous and almost divine dream that had its own internal logic
	♥ 4:51pm rsj: this is dutch version of happy birthday
	4:51pm nic: love this!!!
	4:52pm Miss G: HH, the last time the film came up here, I looked it up. We were at the WFMU record fair in that month. I have a lot of photos from that month. You know how the Village East is kind of like the theater at the end of MH? The two girls were watching "Llorando" and holding hands and crying and it was so scary I held his hand and began crying and I though I was in the movie and well. (this memory courtesy of Joanna Matteray I think!)
	4:55pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Way I put it is Lynch is always about how Surrealism relates to Narrative. But, he does it differently in each of his Works, depending on the demands of it. I thot the big twist in perspective in MulhollandDrive was a pretty neat cinematic trick. & from what I understand (which may be limited) - it was kinda repurposed from a TV pilot ?! So that even may have been from necessity! Anyhow...
	4:56pm Marie: Hey Handy, I was happy to meet K8 at the WFMU meetup at Mama Tried a couple of weeks ago. To me, Lynch is a highly gifted artist and one of my fave directors of all time
	4:57pm nic: love this!!!
	♥ 4:58pm steveo: ah yes, the lungs
	4:58pm Marie: @RR63--I'm not surprised. Some of the best art seems to come from having structures--they're like a bonus. Lars Von Trier is so interesting in his embrace of them.
	♥ 4:59pm HyperDose: Afternoon, Slug! Loving the foley-centric vibe of this set
	5:00pm Marie: Hey, not a big difference in meaning I guess but I meant to type "strictures" instead of "structures" above @)
	🎸 ♥ 5:00pm Handy Haversack: Hi, Marie! I posted a note to you last week or so, but I think you had popped out already. K8 had a great time meeting you too! I wish I'd been able to make it. We're actually on our way to Mama Tried in half an hour or so because K8's got a gig there tonight -- in case you're free! I love Lynch, too. I really like Mulholland Drive but thought and think it covered a lot of the same existential ground that Lost Highway already had but without LH's sense of humor.
	5:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Handy interesting. MHs tone is not happy that is true.
	5:04pm Marie: Hey Handy! Yes, I really enjoyed talking to her. You guys are so nice and cool @) Oh, yeah, wow, I would like to go but I am committed to getting some painting done today--though maybe I will impulsively drop that! I need to see Lost Highway again--I think I was drunk (like an idiot) when I first saw that @) I hope to meet up with you in person sometime too. I'm really hoping Michele has a meetup.
	♥ 5:05pm Ike: Really wanted that first 90 minutes of Mulholland Drive to be a TV series like it was originally supposed to be. I love it, but the last segment, filmed later in order to transform it from a TV pilot into a movie, is not quite as good.
	♥ 5:05pm Ike: *to be the first episode of a TV series
	5:06pm Miss G: Thank you Peter Jay Mick upstairs packing up my STF tee shirt! ;-) HH, ah, today's the day! You and K8 and Creek and Kills and the other bands and fans have a GREAT time! Wish I were there!
	5:06pm Marie: You know, I am glad that when I saw it, I did not know that it was originally supposed to be a TV show. So interesting--I would like to see it again soon now.
	♥ 5:06pm ChukAmok: That TV series was meant to be a Twin Peaks spin-off centered around the Audrey Horne character, correct?
	🎸 ♥ 5:07pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Miss G! Sun has come out, Brooklyn's warming up a bit. Should be a real nice night!
	5:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Right. I neither knew it was a 'Frankenstein' going in - nor have I even now seen LostHighway to compare. So the thing pivots & I just go - Woh! ...also, spoke to my own not entirely happy experience of SoCal, as I've said. So it was even a notable success in my ledger...
	♥ 5:13pm chris in the redwoods: seconding the 'wish i could be there' at Mama Tried tonight. have fun, Handy. kill it, K8 and C&K! :)
	5:14pm nic: love this!!!
	🎸 ♥ 5:15pm Handy Haversack: Wish you could too, Chris!
	5:16pm Marie: Yes, Handy--I hope you have a blast and that k8 and band bring the house dowN!
	♥ 5:16pm slugluv1313: hi Handy! yes, i wish i could be there too! one of these days . . . btw, those kittens are looking positively devilishly ADORABLE! and BAGPIPE the patient elder :)
	🎸 ♥ 5:16pm dale: this is some great doom and gloom here.
	5:17pm Marie: This sounds like evil (and like a slowed recording of some motor)
	♥ 5:18pm ChukAmok: Hoping for rain.
	5:18pm Marie: See, I can't get on the board sometimes cuz I get into it and then stop what I'm trying to do @)
	5:20pm Fredericks: From the other room, this sounded like The Balloon Farm running out of air.
	5:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I just put up my hands & throw the Dopamine my wallet...
	5:20pm Fredericks: This = LSD March
	🎸 ♥ 5:20pm Handy Haversack: Always a risk. I am not trying to do much right now other than have a glass of cider and watch the sparrows woo. slugluv, the kittens really adore him. It's amazing.
	5:27pm nic: love this!!!
	🎸 ♥ 5:32pm PaulRobeson1922: Hi Hi Hi WFMU Land

	8:45pm enrique71: A little late to the party, but I immediately recognized the beginning of "Loud, Loud, Loud" because it was sampled on Del the Funky Homosapien's Deltron 3030!
