	3:16am Prashanth: @Fran: twinned with itself I guess
	3:17am P-90: Guten TZAG @DJ Bill M and Maccolyltes on both sides of The Pond!
	3:17am Jay/London: sorry Brian! must still be half sleep
	3:18am Prashanth: I am so glad my friend Jon introduced me to WuffMoo..I have better bowel movements ever since. No more constipated pauses on regular radio.
	3:18am KP: Best thing about swearing off diet coke is it's not a big deal if you break your vow
	♥ 3:19am Brian in UK: This marathon gets right under the skin like a rash. @Prashanth they could use that on a T-shirt.
	3:21am Prashanth: @KP: only untiil double diet Coke starts to tickle your conscience. @Brian: do you have something similar to WFMU in the islands?
	3:22am KP: Caryn, I set an alarm (but didn't need it). Ive been such a wimp since I stopped working nights.
	♥ 3:23am Brian in UK: Not since John Peel passed away.
	3:25am KP: Happy I was able to listen to John peel whilst in England. Otherwise uk radio is pretty grim
	3:26am Prashanth: Yeah..I've pretty much given up on BBC radio...the only thing I listen to is the Music Documentaries podcast. That is still ok.
	♥ 3:27am Caryn: John Peel was a treasure. Heh, thanks for the shout out, Kurt!
	3:28am Fran: The mighty Peel was indeed a treasure - there is still good radio but you have to search...............hard!
	3:28am KP: Great! Thanks! As I was saying I saw the Haden triplets in NYC. I picked up their Lp at show now I have one by Petra
	3:29am Emile: Hey all you groovy Zero-heads, Bill-o-matic. Can I assign my Swag for Life contribution this year to the Zero Hour?
	3:33am Jay/London: yes bbc music has gone to the wall not worth it... but bbc 4 tv do good music docs
	3:35am Fran: 6 Music has its moments e.g. Freak Zone but a lot of mush too! Regional radio still has some gems usually very late in the evening/early hours.
	♥ 3:35am Brian in UK: Bill I am really peeved got to cut and and visit my sister amongst other things, you can imagine how I feel. Good luck with the rest of the show. P L E D G E N O W
	♥ 3:36am Caryn: The music docs are still good, that's true. BBC 6 is getting Iggy Pop on again. I'm hoping it'll be good.
	♥ 3:36am Brian in UK: I'll throw in Resonance FM
	3:36am Prashanth: Shit!...I pledged and forgot to select my fav swag LOL
	3:37am Fran: Good call Brian
	3:37am Prashanth: I wanted to gift the Goldfinch Tee to Jon for his birthday...LOL..typical me!
	3:38am Bill Mac: Hey all! Crazy bizzy today, hope to catch a moment. Have a refreshment and leaves yr tips on the bar. I'll pick em up later! Thanks all and seeya Brian!
	♥ 3:38am Brian in UK: @Prashanth email Joe McGasko after the marathon and explain he is tops at sorting things out.
	3:38am Fran: Don't worry Prashanth - the mighty Joe at WFMU will help you - I did that last year
	♥ 3:39am Brian in UK: Bill must have been a dream but I imagined you in a full body cast doing the Hoof 'n Mouth this year. Tell me it aint so.
	3:39am Prashanth: @Brian: thanks man...that will be great if it works out. There's no better birthday gift than a Goldfinch Tee.
	♥ 3:40am Brian in UK: @fran jinx
	♥ 3:41am Brian in UK: Byeeeeeeeeeeeeee
	3:41am Fran: Tatty bye Brian
	3:41am Prashanth: My weekend begins with a pledge, cross-border chats (without patdowns), and great music... that is surely promising. Thanks to y'all.
	3:42am Prashanth: bye Brian...
	3:47am Prashanth: It doesn't matter if you don't get French. There's music in the lang itself. Disclaimer: Not a frankophile :)
	♥ 3:47am Stanley: Hi Bill Bye Brian Hello everyone
	♥ 3:48am Caryn: Bye, Brian!
	♥ 3:48am Stanley: Oh, and hello Jack Mello
	♥ 3:48am Stanley: And Caryn!
	3:49am Prashanth: wow...thats guys for the Emil Richards CD!... :)
	3:49am Prashanth: correct: Thanks
	♥ 3:50am Konin: Hi Bill, Jack and All. Don't we all want to be millionaires...
	♥ 3:55am Caryn: Hi, Stanley!
	♥ 3:55am Jack Mello: hey all...stanley! konin! an impressive collection of commenters and pledgers, thanks so much. more great giveaways coming, stay tuned!
	♥ 3:55am Jack Mello: and congrats bill and prashanth for winning so far.
	♥ 4:01am Jack Mello: pledge now and get in the running for the thee oh sees cd.
	4:10am Fran: Bill Keep me healthy as I've swagged for life!!
	♥ 4:15am Stanley: Hey Brits - the Mouse pledge is around 60p per day. Sixty pence a day for WFMU - its embarrassing!
	4:15am Fran: Excellent stuff - more swag - I have the Thee Oh Sees vol 2. Is an obsession with this band Oh See D? Bill - you also played Van der Graaf whilst I was away - actually seeing Hammill and Gary Lucas which was great - result!!
	4:21am Fran: Good to hear PIL - Metal Box is the one for me with Careering by PIL - best post punk bassline ever - and Lydon a big Hammill fan Bill!!
	4:23am Jay/London: love this song saw them in Camden great !
	4:25am Bill Mac: Fran is seeing Hammil Lucas. I like what I heard from that CD.
	4:25am Bill Mac: @Jay I love that 1st album.
	♥ 4:27am Arne: hi bill, i have to do my yearly amount of pledging in one go today, i won't be able to listen next saturday. i remember last year though. i gasped for air after this last minute dash. great fun! i don't get down to commenting much anymore, somehow my saturday mornings have become increasingly busy. but hey, that doesn't mean that i am not listening anymore, to the contrary! sad, sad are those saturdays without zzzzzzero hour! best wishes from bbbbbberlin! a.
	4:29am Sharon: It's 1:30am here. Still wide awake & enjoying the show. :-)
	♥ 4:29am Caryn: FWIW, it's 11:30 am in Finland.
	4:30am Prashanth: @Caryn: What do you think of Tallinn? I will be travelling there for work in May
	♥ 4:31am Stanley: Hi Bas NL. Still listening, still giving.
	4:31am KP: Mrs Kp
	♥ 4:33am Caryn: @Prashanth: actually, I've never been. I hear it's nice, and I've even made notes to myself about B&Bs and shops I'd visit if I ever visit, but have no personal experiences to pass on. But my cousin lives there, and likes it. Lots of restored old buildings, little shops, interesting clubs,...
	♥ 4:34am Bas NL: Hi Stanley, hi all! Bit late switching in.. was working til 3am here! 10:33 here in the netherlands btw..
	4:35am Prashanth: @Caryn: Thanks. I will be there for an accountants conference...so I guess old buildings will provide me some much needed relief :) Disclaimer: I am not an accountant
	4:38am Prashanth: @Bill and Jack: Why is WFMU called WFMU? I don't know much about American radio naming conventions. Does it have a full form - like World's Funkiest Music Underground or something like that?
	4:40am Fran: Lucas/Hammill was a good gig Bill and you'll be pleased to hear Hammill was not (too) dramatic! Saw Goblin last week which was a bit more frustrating - some of it truly special but occasional moments where if I shut my eyes they could have been soundtracking Beverley Hills Cop!
	4:41am Bill Mac: Jack, you wanna take this one? Does it have anything to do with the Upsala College connection?
	4:43am w41: Goddammit my credit card is declined for who the hell knows what reason, will be pledging next week :(
	♥ 4:44am Jack Mello: @prashanth, i honestly don't know where the call letters wfmu comes from. checked the history section of the station wiki and it doesn't say. will investigate.
	4:44am Fran: This Damon reissue is a complete gem and has been getting heavy rotation in the Franosphere!
	4:45am P-90: @Prashanth: American broadcasting stations rarely have call letters that carry meanings like you suggest. Stations on the Eastern side of the country all begin with "W" , on the Western side they all begin with "K". The WFMU call letters were approved when the station was first licensed as a part of Upsala College in 1958, long before there was any inkling of its present identity as a "freeform format" station operated by a non-profit corporation and available all over the planet via the internet.
	4:47am Prashanth: @Jack: Thanks....I guess you now have a topic for an entire show :) @P-90: Ah so! alles klar... so W for East, FM for Frequency Modulation, U for Uppsala collage...
	4:48am L.W. George: Is this a comments thread for listeners only? Do FMU DJs take requests? I'm in Japan and have a yearnin' fer sumthin' pertickaler-like.
	4:50am Fran: It's not George Strait is it L.W?
	♥ 4:51am Jack Mello: hey LW, welcome. djs check in on the comments. it's tough for us to take request during the fundraiser, but let us know anyway. can't promise we'll have it but...
	4:51am stating the bleedin' obvious: pledge and find out L.W.
	4:53am Fran: Yo that's what I call hard sell!!
	♥ 4:54am Caryn: @LW: During the Marathon, very unlikely. The rest of the time, depends on the DJ. Some are more free-flowing and unplanned, like Ken, and may take requests, others have clearly planned (sometimes thematic) shows, and don't. I've once gotten a request through by asking for a song to be played on a future show, not the current one.
	4:55am P-90: No, the "FM" is appended after thee four "call letters" of an fm station, just as "AM' follows the call letters of the am stations. ("WFMU FM") so the f and m in the callsign probably do not refer to freq. mod. The original terrestrial transmitter for the station was built (and remains) on a geologic feature called "The First Watchung Mountain", and the F and M may refer to "First/Mountain", the letter "W" traditionally remaining reserved for that prefix for all stations on the Eastern side of the country.
	4:57am Prashanth: @P-90: That just got even more interesting. Thanks a ton!
	4:58am L.W. George: Fran: No! STBO: Thanks, Draper! Jack: Thanks! I love your last name. Coincidentally, I am half Portuguese and half Asian: "they call me..."
	5:01am Fran: L.W Thanks!! Phew!!
	5:01am L.W. George: Brooking a is great. He's like an institution.
	5:02am Fran: L.W Brooking - agreed
	5:03am L.W. George: Get it? Brooking institute? Answer to the last riddle was "Mello Yello" Guess I have to donate to get a laugh...
	5:04am Fran: $75 buys you L.W premium tumbleweed - only kidding, the more the tonnage of punnage the better
	5:04am stating the bleedin' obvious: lol
	5:06am Fran: Sparks - excellent again. Mr Mac you are spoiling us - the solo Mael gigs were great and it brings back memories of the marathon album a night set of shows in London a few years back
	♥ 5:07am Arne: great, great show. i have to go now though. heck. maybe i can still manage to check in next week. i am for worldwide free wifi, that'd be great social policy. all the best.
	5:08am Bill Mac: Thanks for hanging Arne !
	5:13am Fran: Is it George Strait Bill?
	5:14am Bill Mac: NO!
	5:20am Martyn: Alright then, here I am.
	5:24am BigLankyGeordie: Howdee women and men from a sunny, spring-like UK. Happy St David's Day to all at WFMU! Any welsh language music in the box today? ;-)
	5:26am Fran: Na fydd BLG
	♥ 5:27am Stanley: Hi Martyn
	5:28am Fran: ...and a Happy St David's Day of course
	5:33am Prashanth: Pledge Now....so you can be born as an underwear model in the next life. Remember Karma?
	5:35am Fran: Knowing my luck I would be reborn as a model for long johns!!
	5:38am Bill Mac: I saw Martyn - this means we get six more weeks of winter!
	5:39am Prashanth: @ Fran: LOL.. although thats already reserved for many of us. @ All: Pledge now, repent later!
	5:42am Fran: As Prashanth says - if you don't pledge it's pants!!
	5:48am Prashanth: oh..I forgot I was in Germany. Bye guys! got to do the usual things "allowed" for Saturday....like practising my e-drums....ciao ciao...
	5:50am Fran: Horslips!! Memories of an Irish teenagerhood come flooding back!!!
	♥ 5:52am Arne: @ prashanth: lol!! rock'n'roll!
	5:53am Fran: Take care Prashanth - hope all stays quiet on the Western Y -Fronts!!
	5:54am Bill Mac: I hated Charles O'Connor! Handsome bastard!
	5:56am Fran: I bought a ukelele from his shop in Whitby, England where he had retired to do violin repairs and run an antiques shop
	5:58am Jay/London: well its the end Think you did well over $2000.00 ! see you next week !
	5:58am Fran: Bill Glad the targets are going well - well deserved!! Finish it off next week in style!!! Have fun and bye all
	♥ 5:59am Stanley: Me too. As good as any previous BM fundraising show Well done guys!
	♥ 6:00am Bas NL: Yeay!! :D

	4:10am Fran: Bill Keep me healthy as I've swagged for life!!
	♥ 4:15am Stanley: Hey Brits - the Mouse pledge is around 60p per day. Sixty pence a day for WFMU - its embarrassing!
	4:15am Fran: Excellent stuff - more swag - I have the Thee Oh Sees vol 2. Is an obsession with this band Oh See D? Bill - you also played Van der Graaf whilst I was away - actually seeing Hammill and Gary Lucas which was great - result!!
	4:21am Fran: Good to hear PIL - Metal Box is the one for me with Careering by PIL - best post punk bassline ever - and Lydon a big Hammill fan Bill!!
	4:23am Jay/London: love this song saw them in Camden great !
	4:25am Bill Mac: Fran is seeing Hammil Lucas. I like what I heard from that CD.
	4:25am Bill Mac: @Jay I love that 1st album.
	♥ 4:27am Arne: hi bill, i have to do my yearly amount of pledging in one go today, i won't be able to listen next saturday. i remember last year though. i gasped for air after this last minute dash. great fun! i don't get down to commenting much anymore, somehow my saturday mornings have become increasingly busy. but hey, that doesn't mean that i am not listening anymore, to the contrary! sad, sad are those saturdays without zzzzzzero hour! best wishes from bbbbbberlin! a.
	4:29am Sharon: It's 1:30am here. Still wide awake & enjoying the show. :-)
	♥ 4:29am Caryn: FWIW, it's 11:30 am in Finland.
	4:30am Prashanth: @Caryn: What do you think of Tallinn? I will be travelling there for work in May
	♥ 4:31am Stanley: Hi Bas NL. Still listening, still giving.
	4:31am KP: Mrs Kp
	♥ 4:33am Caryn: @Prashanth: actually, I've never been. I hear it's nice, and I've even made notes to myself about B&Bs and shops I'd visit if I ever visit, but have no personal experiences to pass on. But my cousin lives there, and likes it. Lots of restored old buildings, little shops, interesting clubs,...
	♥ 4:34am Bas NL: Hi Stanley, hi all! Bit late switching in.. was working til 3am here! 10:33 here in the netherlands btw..
	4:35am Prashanth: @Caryn: Thanks. I will be there for an accountants conference...so I guess old buildings will provide me some much needed relief :) Disclaimer: I am not an accountant
	4:38am Prashanth: @Bill and Jack: Why is WFMU called WFMU? I don't know much about American radio naming conventions. Does it have a full form - like World's Funkiest Music Underground or something like that?
	4:40am Fran: Lucas/Hammill was a good gig Bill and you'll be pleased to hear Hammill was not (too) dramatic! Saw Goblin last week which was a bit more frustrating - some of it truly special but occasional moments where if I shut my eyes they could have been soundtracking Beverley Hills Cop!
	4:41am Bill Mac: Jack, you wanna take this one? Does it have anything to do with the Upsala College connection?
	4:43am w41: Goddammit my credit card is declined for who the hell knows what reason, will be pledging next week :(
	♥ 4:44am Jack Mello: @prashanth, i honestly don't know where the call letters wfmu comes from. checked the history section of the station wiki and it doesn't say. will investigate.
	4:44am Fran: This Damon reissue is a complete gem and has been getting heavy rotation in the Franosphere!
	4:45am P-90: @Prashanth: American broadcasting stations rarely have call letters that carry meanings like you suggest. Stations on the Eastern side of the country all begin with "W" , on the Western side they all begin with "K". The WFMU call letters were approved when the station was first licensed as a part of Upsala College in 1958, long before there was any inkling of its present identity as a "freeform format" station operated by a non-profit corporation and available all over the planet via the internet.
	4:47am Prashanth: @Jack: Thanks....I guess you now have a topic for an entire show :) @P-90: Ah so! alles klar... so W for East, FM for Frequency Modulation, U for Uppsala collage...
	4:48am L.W. George: Is this a comments thread for listeners only? Do FMU DJs take requests? I'm in Japan and have a yearnin' fer sumthin' pertickaler-like.
	4:50am Fran: It's not George Strait is it L.W?
	♥ 4:51am Jack Mello: hey LW, welcome. djs check in on the comments. it's tough for us to take request during the fundraiser, but let us know anyway. can't promise we'll have it but...
	4:51am stating the bleedin' obvious: pledge and find out L.W.
	4:53am Fran: Yo that's what I call hard sell!!
	♥ 4:54am Caryn: @LW: During the Marathon, very unlikely. The rest of the time, depends on the DJ. Some are more free-flowing and unplanned, like Ken, and may take requests, others have clearly planned (sometimes thematic) shows, and don't. I've once gotten a request through by asking for a song to be played on a future show, not the current one.
	4:55am P-90: No, the "FM" is appended after thee four "call letters" of an fm station, just as "AM' follows the call letters of the am stations. ("WFMU FM") so the f and m in the callsign probably do not refer to freq. mod. The original terrestrial transmitter for the station was built (and remains) on a geologic feature called "The First Watchung Mountain", and the F and M may refer to "First/Mountain", the letter "W" traditionally remaining reserved for that prefix for all stations on the Eastern side of the country.
	4:57am Prashanth: @P-90: That just got even more interesting. Thanks a ton!
	4:58am L.W. George: Fran: No! STBO: Thanks, Draper! Jack: Thanks! I love your last name. Coincidentally, I am half Portuguese and half Asian: "they call me..."
	5:01am Fran: L.W Thanks!! Phew!!
	5:01am L.W. George: Brooking a is great. He's like an institution.
	5:02am Fran: L.W Brooking - agreed
	5:03am L.W. George: Get it? Brooking institute? Answer to the last riddle was "Mello Yello" Guess I have to donate to get a laugh...
	5:04am Fran: $75 buys you L.W premium tumbleweed - only kidding, the more the tonnage of punnage the better
	5:04am stating the bleedin' obvious: lol
	5:06am Fran: Sparks - excellent again. Mr Mac you are spoiling us - the solo Mael gigs were great and it brings back memories of the marathon album a night set of shows in London a few years back
	♥ 5:07am Arne: great, great show. i have to go now though. heck. maybe i can still manage to check in next week. i am for worldwide free wifi, that'd be great social policy. all the best.
	5:08am Bill Mac: Thanks for hanging Arne !
	5:13am Fran: Is it George Strait Bill?
	5:14am Bill Mac: NO!
	5:20am Martyn: Alright then, here I am.
	5:24am BigLankyGeordie: Howdee women and men from a sunny, spring-like UK. Happy St David's Day to all at WFMU! Any welsh language music in the box today? ;-)
	5:26am Fran: Na fydd BLG
	♥ 5:27am Stanley: Hi Martyn
	5:28am Fran: ...and a Happy St David's Day of course
	5:33am Prashanth: Pledge Now....so you can be born as an underwear model in the next life. Remember Karma?
	5:35am Fran: Knowing my luck I would be reborn as a model for long johns!!
	5:38am Bill Mac: I saw Martyn - this means we get six more weeks of winter!
	5:39am Prashanth: @ Fran: LOL.. although thats already reserved for many of us. @ All: Pledge now, repent later!
	5:42am Fran: As Prashanth says - if you don't pledge it's pants!!
	5:48am Prashanth: oh..I forgot I was in Germany. Bye guys! got to do the usual things "allowed" for Saturday....like practising my e-drums....ciao ciao...
	5:50am Fran: Horslips!! Memories of an Irish teenagerhood come flooding back!!!
	♥ 5:52am Arne: @ prashanth: lol!! rock'n'roll!
	5:53am Fran: Take care Prashanth - hope all stays quiet on the Western Y -Fronts!!
	5:54am Bill Mac: I hated Charles O'Connor! Handsome bastard!
	5:56am Fran: I bought a ukelele from his shop in Whitby, England where he had retired to do violin repairs and run an antiques shop
	5:58am Jay/London: well its the end Think you did well over $2000.00 ! see you next week !
	5:58am Fran: Bill Glad the targets are going well - well deserved!! Finish it off next week in style!!! Have fun and bye all
	♥ 5:59am Stanley: Me too. As good as any previous BM fundraising show Well done guys!
	♥ 6:00am Bas NL: Yeay!! :D
