Listener comments!

  3:10pm
hamburger:

wow
  3:10pm
DCE:

hi Fabio. can't wait to see who's doing this epic ATP version.
  3:10pm
DCE:

oh THAT GUY, huh?
  3:12pm
?:

I know it's probably been said a million times before, but I just fucking love Mr. Giant Man
  3:12pm
hamburger:

Fabio's show is sometimes like finding paper money on the floor - unexpected surprise
  3:14pm
Cecile:

they called an album "the seer"
hahahhahahahahahahaha
  3:14pm
hamburger:

or more, I just feel spoilt listening to goodness
  3:15pm
BSI:

falling for swans all over again.....
  3:15pm
Cecile:

hahahhahahah
they've caught the mid-period Floyd bug, too!
  3:18pm
northguineahills:

I think Nick Cave covering ATP was the first Nick Cave song I really dug.
  3:18pm
Roger:

I love Giant Man too. Where can I find my own personal copy to listen to at my leisure (not itunes)
  3:18pm
DCE:

that's a bug that's pretty hard to get rid of, in my experience, Cecile
  3:18pm
tim from champaign:

This Heat = punk rock prog? Anyone care to discuss?
  3:25pm
DCE:

just googled "interesting things to read". work is so boring.
  3:27pm
hamburger:

DCE - do yoo tumblr?
  3:28pm
DCE:

nah it's blocked
  3:29pm
DCE:

any blogspot is blocked too
  3:30pm
hamburger:

mean. you gotta buddy up some people in IT :)
  3:30pm
Cheri Pi:

BRUTAL!!!
  3:32pm
Cheri Pi:

Damn Fabio, I feel like I"m 14 again.
  3:33pm
Cecile:

1986 or 87.
  3:33pm
Cecile:

uh....I feel like I'm less old again.
  3:34pm
Cecile:

I think Clay would dig it.
  3:34pm
DCE:

*inputs valueless data to comment board*
  3:35pm
Cheri Pi:

hahahaha. we're ageless and priceless.
  3:36pm
tim from champaign:

I had a landlord who was from South Africa. He said that in South Africa the furnace is called a "geezer".
  3:37pm
northguineahills:

Hey!, some of my best friends are cheeseballs!
  3:37pm
BSI:

[raises hand] old and expensive, over here!
  3:39pm
DCE:

digging Cakewalk. now if it only came with actual cake...
  3:41pm
hamburger:

Pizza Cake #concept
  3:42pm
Carnegie:

They say dancing will keep one young Fabio, that and booze.
  3:45pm
DCE:

this track does my sleep-deprived brain some good
  3:46pm
hamburger:

Seeland - I SEER what you did there
  3:49pm
hamburger:

this track reminds me of radiohead - meeting people in the aisle
  3:49pm
BSI:

goddamn. It was strong when I left for a few minutes & it's stronger still, now... Clearly this is gonna be one of THEM THOSE shows. Dog is not permitted to distract me again until 6pm.
  3:50pm
hamburger:

what's the dog's name BSI?
  3:51pm
DCE:

"see, dog, I'm wearing headphones. that means GO AWAY." basically what I told a kid at the playground last night.
  3:52pm
Chris from DC:

Yes. Seem to be saying that a lot with today's programming.
  3:53pm
BSI:

...and to prove my point, Fabio breaks out Opa Loka, a top-5 favorite HW tune. zang!
  3:53pm
BSI:

@hamburger: his name is GOMEZ. Which kind of fits a 90-lb boxer rather perfectly, somehow.
  3:53pm
hamburger:

oops sorry misread capslock names
  3:55pm
Bas, NL:

Wow. The music is sky high today Fabio!
  3:55pm
DCE:

Fabio's doing a nice job keeping up on the playlist today. Knock on wood. Wait, there's no goddammned actual wood anywhere in this office!
  3:57pm
common:

knock on plastic.
  3:58pm
hamburger:

gomez is a great name - knock on paper even? knock on 100's of former wood
  4:01pm
Carnegie:

Far ouT
  4:01pm
DCE:

dude next to me is getting stoked over fantasy football draft...I'm wondering if they have that for music geeks? draft your fantasy band. if not, perhaps toner cartridges.
  4:03pm
hamburger:

Tom Scharpling does odd 'fantasy' band line ups now and then?
  4:08pm
Cecile:

I think that's swedish or norwegian or danish.
  4:10pm
The Owl:

They're Norwegian. Thanks, Google.
  4:10pm
northguineahills:

So, modern Scandanavian (not Icelandic or Faroese)
  4:11pm
hubba:

@DCE - Steve Krakow who is in Plastic Crimewave and does a magazine called Galactic Zoo Dozier, I think, makes "guitar greats" trading cards... yet, fantasy leagues are all stats driven... how could you quantify music folks? I think we'll have to wait for Fabio vs. Clay pt. 23...
  4:12pm
Cheri Pi:

We're being bombarded by the Scaands today!!! Must be Thorsday :)
  4:12pm
Cecile:

"Greek Mythology with Fabio"
  4:14pm
hubba:

Reminds me of Pär Lagerkvist's The Syibl... still like that simple yet
  4:14pm
Cecile:

It should be a series.
"Oedipus was this guy..."
  4:15pm
DCE:

haha, I guess I only thought it through the drafting part, which would be kinda fun, doncha think? Or, stats could be based on how many TVs they threw out the window on tour.
  4:16pm
Cheri Pi:

I think we should have an 'FMU seer for all the difficult questions, like, what am I gonna drink tonight?
  4:16pm
Cecile:

chart position could be a factor, as could placement on the Voice poll.
  4:16pm
Cecile:

have some Bell's Oarsman...
  4:17pm
hubba:

Nice... i like the drafting part... fantasy commune... Sims for building your ideal musical compound!
  4:17pm
Cecile:

An oracle would also be helpful for metal bands: "Are they going to make their metal album for non-metal fans, or go through a Pink Floyd phase any time soon?"
  4:18pm
Chris from DC:

Cecile: Don't know about the Bell's, but there are four varieties of DC Brau on tap next door. One hour to go....
  4:19pm
BSI:

pint of Old Crafty Hen, please [from the makers of Morland's Old Speckled Hen] ... and a plate of curry chips. Cheers.
  4:20pm
DCE:

oh man, I had the best beer last night...asked for an Ichabod Crane Pumpkin ale, which was good, but the bartender misheard me and gave me some kind of bourbon-oak aged ale. never caught the name of it unfortunately.
  4:22pm
BSI:

Chris: is the DCBrau porter out yet?
  4:23pm
hamburger:

ale be damned
  4:23pm
Cheri Pi:

Cecile that should be a standard question for all metal bands (except for True Power metal-that would make no sense)
  4:24pm
Cheri Pi:

@DCE: -damnit man, go back to the bar, recreate the scene and find out.
  4:25pm
DCE:

never heard this Fuzzhead track...local 90s weirdos, still see some of them around town at shows.
  4:25pm
Cheri Pi:

I have not had Old Crafty Hen!
  4:25pm
Chris from DC:

BSI: Yes, I think the porter is available, though not on tap today sadly. They're doing a cask ale with Stillwater that sounds interesting.
  4:25pm
DCE:

CP, I may have to, they're having some synth-kosmiche stuff there tonight (Outer Space and Watchword) along with Gary War
  4:27pm
Cheri Pi:

Report back to the group DCE, we must know the name of this magic elixir. Oh GW played here a few nights ago, I was feeling lame so didn't attend.
  4:28pm
BSI:

Cheri, it's a fine thing, & has lubricated more than a few jams around here... http://www.beer-pages.com/stories/old-crafty-hen.htm
  4:30pm
Cheri Pi:

hey, this just in, does anyone need a Giant Humpty Hump Head? http://www.stevenhughes.net/2012/08/20/giant-humpty-hump-head-needs-a-home-and-can-be-yours/
  4:30pm
Cecile:

yes, old speckled hen is like crack to me, I hope crafty is similar.
  4:30pm
Cheri Pi:

mmmmmm beeeerrrrrr
  4:31pm
DCE:

wouldn't you know, CP, that page is blocked! gasp! I can't see the Humpty Head!
  4:33pm
Cheri Pi:

DCE: here's some highlights"I have learned from a former tenant of the building that a man was evicted from his apartment, and then lived surreptitiously in the head for several weeks before being discovered"
  4:33pm
BSI:

Cecile: the Crafty is better, in my humble. More like a bitter, maybe? haven't had Speckled in a while, memory fades...
  4:34pm
Cheri Pi:

Also DCE: "50k to build; built by FM Productions South San Francisco.
(they also did the giant pig for Pink Floyd. lol)"
  4:34pm
BSI:

DAMN, Cheri, that Humpty Head is a thing of beauty. Not ashamed to admit I totally dug the first DU album. And maybe 5% of the 2nd one. After that, uh..... waiter! Another Hen please...
  4:35pm
Cheri Pi:

I'm gonna look for OCH tonight at the corner shop.
  4:35pm
Mike East:

I think you're playing this song backwards.
  4:36pm
Cheri Pi:

I'm not ashamed to admit I'm listening to Fabio & Du at the same time and I'm loving it!!!
  4:36pm
DCE:

ha, reverse gate?
  4:39pm
Cecile:

Tiny Tim joined the Residents? Who knew...
  4:39pm
tim from champaign:

Damn, missed the beer talk. Speaking of Bells I will be sipping some suds in Bells beer garden one week from this Saturday. I can't wait. I'm DJing the UFO Dictator festival in Kalamazoo that night.
  4:41pm
Cheri Pi:

Oh I'm jealoos TimfC!
  4:42pm
tim from champaign:

I'll drink a bells for you Cheri Pi.
  4:42pm
DCE:

sounds like fun
  4:43pm
Cheri Pi:

Cheers!
  4:50pm
Cecile:

"Physics with Fabio"
  4:51pm
DCE:

"until" you're falling off the chair? that's how I came in here!
  4:52pm
Jex:

I think Dusty's chattiness might be rubbing off on Fabio a little bit!
  4:53pm
duke:

In space, radio waves travel at the speed of light. They're electron-magnetic waves.
  4:56pm
duke:

*electromagnetic
  4:56pm
PAA:

Man, great show. Andromeda and falling off the chair really just put this show over the edge. I'll need to take another listen to that description later.
  4:57pm
Cheri Pi:

I like Chatty Fab.
  4:58pm

Cecile:

  5:25pm
Bill F.:

Was just going to say, this is the best show I can remember for a long time. Really, really great stuff. Hats off to Fabio. Three cheers!
  5:26pm
northguineahills:

The last set (since Mika Vaino), is probably the only time I've been able to say I've seen 50% of the bands/musicians Fabio played.
  5:27pm
Real Cecile:

That wasn't me.
  5:27pm
hamburger:

fabio is faboulous! I like accordions too
  5:28pm
Real Cecile:

Although I have general non-localized warm feelings toward you, Fabs.

Ha ha! I agree that you need an independent monitor! Clay Pigeon has engaged in some point-related shenanigans in the past for sure. Maybe let the commenters do it?
