	9:42am Polyus: I dig the AM radio production on that Charles Bradley song.

	9:46am bobdoesthings: @marcel - yarrrrhhh
	9:47am Polyus: Wait, everything is sounding AM radio to me now. Must be my ear.
	♥ 9:49am Marcel M: Is this a quote? Sounds so familiar. But maybe its just stuck in my head from seeing them.
	9:49am Flynn: I hope they're referring to sonny sharrock!
	♥ 9:50am Uncle Michael: 2nd Sunwatchers track of the morning and I'm completely sold.
	9:50am just dc pat: Hello..Pharoah Sanders isn't from 2016? What a dick.
	9:50am just dc pat: Oh great...the Todd missed it by 1 year.
	♥ 9:53am Marcel M: Sick set Chris
	9:55am BEAVO: Where are the pledge hearts?
	9:55am Cheri Pi: follow the Todd with 3 more songs from 2016
	9:57am just dc pat: Yeah, in fact the better ALL BE FROM 2016 FROM NOW ON, OR ELSE. Hi PI!
	9:58am just dc pat: *they..
	9:58am Cheri Pi: PAT-a-Tat-Tat!
	9:59am Cheri Pi: Spoiler alert
	10:00am Ike: The Orb's quality declined significantly after 2000 for a while. Glad to hear their sounds apparently getting impressive again lately. They also put on a really good show in W-burg a few months ago.
	10:01am P-90: Also in Mendocino (or right outside of town): vast herb plantations
	♥ 10:02am Sem Chumbo: 'ppreciate the synopsis, Chris M.
	10:03am BEAVO: Actually this song is about sex with a teenybopper
	10:03am P-90: Hi Sem! How you be?
	10:04am just dc pat: [these songs are not from 2016, just wanted to point that out]
	10:05am BEAVO: Your set up was twice as long as the song.
	10:06am P-90: aren't like 50% of all songs about sex with teenyboppers?
	10:06am BEAVO: Former Mrs Stewart Copeland
	♥ 10:06am Sem Chumbo: Hey, P-90. Watching higher and higher tides taking my backyard out to the Bay of Fundy, but apart from that life, as always, is very sweet indeed. You are well?
	10:08am P-90: @Sem: I'm OK, thanks. Are you writing these days?
	♥ 10:11am Sem Chumbo: One of those drawer novels I could not bare to throw away is now getting daily attention. It is fun again.
	10:14am just dc pat: This suddenly sounds like the Fleshtones...who I'm going to miss tomorrow night goddammit.
	10:15am JakeGould: @ChrisM: Thanks for the Alice the Goon pic. I still hate that thing with a passion.
	♥ 10:17am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, gang! Congrats on another successful Marathon, Chris M! Missed you at the Hoof & Mouth.
	♥ 10:18am JP from KC: Greg, that whole graphic sequence for the marathon was awesome! Way to go!
	10:18am Chris M.: @Greg from ZONE 5: congratulations on the amazing gifs this year!
	♥ 10:19am Marcel M: Yeah Greg, well done!
	10:20am just dc pat: Man, Yoko is great.
	♥ 10:20am Marcel M: Woah this Yoko is pretty cool.
	10:21am Fox (Rā-chul): Man, I always wanted a hearse.
	10:21am JoeRay: All the Yoko lovers are at WFMU! Yea!
	10:22am P-90: @Greg/Zone 5: Bravo! You outdid ourself with the new gifs! @Yoko: great backing track and production
	10:22am bobdoesthings: amazing storage space in a hearse, I'd imagine.
	10:23am Chris from DC: Liking this Iranian thing a lot.
	10:24am Chris M.: @Chris from DC: most of the comp sounds like this which made me think it was less experimental and more whatever this is.
	10:24am bill: wow this persian stuff is kewl
	10:24am P-90: very wash-y
	10:25am bobdoesthings: 'experimental' is a funny word
	♥ 10:25am Marcel M: My Uncle had a band in NYC back when and they used to use a Hearse.
	♥ 10:25am Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, y'a'll! Already looking forward to next year.
	10:26am just dc pat: wait, Yes I'm A Witch Too came out this year? I thought it was last year..
	10:28am Chris from DC: Hmm, if most of it sounds like that I'd be curious.
	♥ 10:33am Marcel M: Yeah, that backing band was great.
	10:35am bill: AM doom shredding rules
	♥ 10:40am Greg from ZONE 5: "In your Outlook…"
	10:52am bill: very enjoyable morning this makes for
	11:00am fleep: Greetings to the fully supported and the flopping around.
	♥ 11:02am Sem Chumbo: Fleep! How's the ole blow hole?
	11:06am davej: My ears are still ringing from a Mogwai gig in Manchester two years ago.
	11:06am Casement 5ound: Music marathon
	11:07am fleep: Sem! Long time no avatar. Blow hole at the moment is fulla pollen.
	11:08am βrian: Were you on the isthmus, it would be full of freezing rain.
	♥ 11:09am Sem Chumbo: They have Spring in LA? Never knew.
	11:13am Cecile: It snowed here yesterday and it stuck. People are offended. I'm all "hey I'm from the UP. The only time I get upset at snow is when it's in May."
	11:14am βrian: Sem, did you know that Badgers, as a moniker, came from lead miners?
	11:15am Chris from DC: I walked out on Mogwai in favor of preserving what was left of my hearing. Loudest thing I've ever heard.
	11:15am just dc pat: Ah, I see we're back on track with the 2016's. Nice work, M.
	11:16am Cecile: I saw them before the Pretty Things in '98 or '99. Pretty Things were louder, but not by much.
	11:16am just dc pat: SHIT, I missed new Mogwai?? Why didn't somebody tell me??? So that's the way it is, huh?
	♥ 11:16am JP from KC: This track is great for the gloomy clusterfuck of midwest weather we've got going on here.
	11:17am this guy: ...is digging the show Chris, thanks
	♥ 11:17am Sem Chumbo: @ βrian: I did not know that. I do know that it was a bodger who made my Windsor chair. Having a look at the Badger thing now.
	11:19am davej: @Chris from DC I couldn't have walked out if I'd wanted to as I was also blind from the strobes pointing out from the stage at the crowd. Very intense!
	11:19am βrian: Sem, they need you in Flint.
	♥ 11:20am Sem Chumbo: Wisconsin was dubbed the "Badger State" because of the lead miners who first settled there in the 1820s and 1830s. Without shelter in the winter, they had to "live like badgers" in tunnels burrowed into hillsides." Well, dip me in honey and call me mellified. Thx!
	11:22am Dean: Saw Mogwai at the Troubadour in Hollywood in late '99. Not loud at all. Maybe they toned it down because the venue is so small.
	11:24am just dc pat: I use to pride myself on my groups playing really loud. But now I have respect for bands that can get a good sound at a controlled level. Did I just turn into an old guy?
	11:25am Dean: Eh, dc pat? Speak up! Can't hear ya!
	♥ 11:26am Marcel M: @Pat: I think you did! Certain bands just seem strange when the volume is too low. Some bands it doesn't matter as much.
	11:26am Chris from DC: I'm ok with loud when it fits. I don't get loud for its own sake.
	♥ 11:26am Marcel M: There is something amazing about seeing a band play way too loud in a small club. But it does drown out the drums sometimes, which makes it kind of pointless.
	11:27am Dean: J&MC was strange with volume too low. Axel Dorner, John Butcher, and Xavier Charles, not so much.
	11:27am Chris M.: the last time i saw Mogwai they just set off several hundred air horns simultaneously through the PA while abrasive dust was blown into the audience's eyes. eight people fainted and an elderly man went into labor.
	♥ 11:27am Marcel M: @Dean: J&MC during this tour? Where did you see them?
	11:28am Cecile: I love John Butcher's solo works. That's the kind of thing you can play for someone who doesn't get free improv and they'll appreciate it.
	11:28am Chris from DC: I'd have paid to see that.
	11:29am Dean: You could hear the spittle forming on their lips the volume was so quiet. Dorner, Butcher, and Charles, I mean. No, Marcel. A long time ago at Hollywood Palladium. Oddly low volume.
	11:29am Cecile: Konono #1 was upset they couldn't get any volume. They were playing this largely folk venue, and the sound people wouldn't turn it up.
	11:29am just dc pat: 2004?? CHRIS!
	♥ 11:30am Marcel M: @Dean: Ah! Ok. I saw them this time around at term 5 and it was pretty loud. I was way in the back and my ears were ringing after.
	11:30am Cecile: High Rise are a great band who needs lots and lot of volume - it's like another instrument.
	♥ 11:30am Marcel M: Have you seen them, Cecile? I envy you.
	11:30am Lewis: @Cecile - Konono #1 is all about loud - if it isn't distorting it ain't right
	11:30am Polyus: Mogwai have always been pretty loud in my experience, but at least it's not a shrill loud. That is the worst.
	♥ 11:31am Marcel M: In order to play motorcycle guitar, one must dime his stack.
	11:31am Dean: Would love to hear J&MC again live but loud. John Butcher could open up, but not the other way around.
	11:31am just dc pat: Exactly @Cecile, there are times when it's necessary. "another instrument" = perfect description.
	11:32am just dc pat: I went with d boon style shrill loud. Turned the bass almost all the way down and the treble all the way up, using a Telecaster..
	♥ 11:33am Ken From Hyde Park: I'd like to hear some of listener Lyle's Mogwai stories.
	11:34am Cheri Pi: when/where did you see Konono #1??? Jellous. CECILE!
	11:34am βrian: If not gelatinous ...
	11:34am Cecile: Around 2005, 06? They were starting to get into a groove, and then they had to stop. Ugh. folkies.
	11:36am bill: For loud see Mainliner
	11:36am Cecile: sorry, folkies who fear electrification...
	11:36am Chris M.: when i saw Mogwai play at CBGBs they covered the floor with those large sponges you use to wash your car with. everyone thought it was for our comfort and people started lying down on them. then they dumped tons of paste onto the crowd along with boiling hot water and lit off M80s for forty minutes!
	11:36am bill: a pal pointed out that slayer sounds loud at any volume
	11:37am Cecile: Bill, I missed Mainliner, they played here about six months before High Rise did.
	11:38am Cecile: ugh. slayer live. :(
	11:38am Chris M.: slayer sucks at any volume
	11:39am Cecile: I like their records tons. Live, bad things happen to me and my friends at their shows.
	11:39am Dean: They took that sponge-and-M80s routine from Sinatra.
	11:39am Cecile: Patti Page was more of a bristle brush and Roman candle girl.
	11:39am βrian: Really? I was sure it was Steve Reich.
	11:40am bill: there was a news article once titled "9 out of 10 kids who kill listen to slayer"
	11:41am Dean: Jo Stafford taught GG Allin everything he knew, and Ethel Merman was Lux Interior's mentor.
	11:41am Cheri Pi: Mork. hahahaha
	11:42am bill: Dean (M?) you're revealing all the rat pack secrets!!
	11:43am Mork Av Myndi: Great Show. Love your Selections
	11:44am Dean: He was an inspiration to my parents, name-wise. Thank gosh they weren't fans of Bing Crosby.
	11:45am bill: Or nancy sinatra.
	11:45am Chris from DC: How could I forget Patti Page? Much louder than Mogwai.
	11:45am Cecile: Today's word is "HRRRRAW"
	11:45am Fred: Those happy pledge monkeys on the home page stole all my dance moves.
	11:46am Dean: By all means, call me Nancy!
	11:46am JakeGould: Walter Matthau's protege is Glenn Danzig.
	11:47am Cecile: "Mother" was originally entitled "Felix"
	11:47am Dean: Danzig did appear in an off-Broadway revival of "The Odd Couple" with Ian Astbury as Felix.
	11:47am βrian: @Dean: you'd 've made a hell of a cherry.
	11:47am Dean: Jinx!
	11:48am JakeGould: "Stairway to Heaven" was originally titled "Out of Control Gurney Rolling Down a Hill."
	11:48am Dean: "Hell of a Cherry"...good name for a band.
	11:48am Chris M.: i went to this Mogwai show one time and they wouldn't start until after midnight at which point the band jumped into an inflatable swimming pool and started eating snacks. it was totally nuts.
	11:49am Cecile: Great whatevers, uh, do something.
	11:49am davej: That's the Jocks for you
	11:49am Cecile: what kind of snacks?
	11:49am Chris M.: @Cecile: cheetos, pizzer, pop, you name it
	11:50am Dean: Slim Jims, I imagine. Didn't Mogwai do a commercial for those?
	11:50am Cecile: wow, they went crazy.
	11:50am bill: cecile, nuts i'm guessing
	11:50am just dc pat: If we're still talking loudness, the Cynics were the loudest group I ever saw...about 10 times..
	11:53am P-90: Chris M: I saw that Mogwai tour too. Talk about awesome...
	11:53am Dean: What do you call somebody who hates to exercise? Misogymist.
	11:54am P-90: I was bummed when I found out my health insurance provider strictly refuses to cover any injury resulting directly or indirectly from live Mogwai.
	11:55am Cecile: My insurance company does that for hailstorms and Slayer.
	11:55am βrian: Coming up: Julie filling in for Charlie wfmu.org...
	11:55am bill: p90 you need tenure for that
	11:55am davej: Including the furry ones?
	11:56am βrian: The monk was hired for a tonsure-track position.
	♥ 11:56am Ike: Akita & Ishibashi - NIIIICE
	11:56am Dean: Yeah, Slayer injuries are force majeure, acts of God.
	11:56am Sue P.: Loudest band I ever saw: Cosmic Psychos @ Euclid Tavern, Cleveland in the early '90s.
	11:57am Cecile: Sue P, I can believe it. Those loud Aussie bands are LOUD. I remember feedtime making my ears ring.
	11:58am Dean: Angel and Yes, by a mile.
	11:58am bill: for me it was Tar, like screaming sheet metal
	11:58am βrian: Was Kurt writing in cuneiform? I had that dream.
	11:59am bobdoesthings: thanks chrism!!
	11:59am JakeGould: Sarah's Pad Thai Confrontation
	11:59am bill: yay chris
	11:59am kirk from beer city usa: It's moments like this that I am really glad I gave to WFMU and specified THIS SHOW as my favorite
	12:00pm Dean: Smells Like Pad Thai.
	12:00pm P-90: Julie in for Charlie on Drummer and Martha in for Diane K. I believe. i plan to listen to one in each ear.
	12:00pm davej: That was the loudest WFMU broadcast I've ever witnessed

	9:50am just dc pat: Hello..Pharoah Sanders isn't from 2016? What a dick.
	9:50am just dc pat: Oh great...the Todd missed it by 1 year.
	♥ 9:53am Marcel M: Sick set Chris
	9:55am BEAVO: Where are the pledge hearts?
	9:55am Cheri Pi: follow the Todd with 3 more songs from 2016
	9:57am just dc pat: Yeah, in fact the better ALL BE FROM 2016 FROM NOW ON, OR ELSE. Hi PI!
	9:58am just dc pat: *they..
	9:58am Cheri Pi: PAT-a-Tat-Tat!
	9:59am Cheri Pi: Spoiler alert
	10:00am Ike: The Orb's quality declined significantly after 2000 for a while. Glad to hear their sounds apparently getting impressive again lately. They also put on a really good show in W-burg a few months ago.
	10:01am P-90: Also in Mendocino (or right outside of town): vast herb plantations
	♥ 10:02am Sem Chumbo: 'ppreciate the synopsis, Chris M.
	10:03am BEAVO: Actually this song is about sex with a teenybopper
	10:03am P-90: Hi Sem! How you be?
	10:04am just dc pat: [these songs are not from 2016, just wanted to point that out]
	10:05am BEAVO: Your set up was twice as long as the song.
	10:06am P-90: aren't like 50% of all songs about sex with teenyboppers?
	10:06am BEAVO: Former Mrs Stewart Copeland
	♥ 10:06am Sem Chumbo: Hey, P-90. Watching higher and higher tides taking my backyard out to the Bay of Fundy, but apart from that life, as always, is very sweet indeed. You are well?
	10:08am P-90: @Sem: I'm OK, thanks. Are you writing these days?
	♥ 10:11am Sem Chumbo: One of those drawer novels I could not bare to throw away is now getting daily attention. It is fun again.
	10:14am just dc pat: This suddenly sounds like the Fleshtones...who I'm going to miss tomorrow night goddammit.
	10:15am JakeGould: @ChrisM: Thanks for the Alice the Goon pic. I still hate that thing with a passion.
	♥ 10:17am Greg from ZONE 5: Morning, gang! Congrats on another successful Marathon, Chris M! Missed you at the Hoof & Mouth.
	♥ 10:18am JP from KC: Greg, that whole graphic sequence for the marathon was awesome! Way to go!
	10:18am Chris M.: @Greg from ZONE 5: congratulations on the amazing gifs this year!
	♥ 10:19am Marcel M: Yeah Greg, well done!
	10:20am just dc pat: Man, Yoko is great.
	♥ 10:20am Marcel M: Woah this Yoko is pretty cool.
	10:21am Fox (Rā-chul): Man, I always wanted a hearse.
	10:21am JoeRay: All the Yoko lovers are at WFMU! Yea!
	10:22am P-90: @Greg/Zone 5: Bravo! You outdid ourself with the new gifs! @Yoko: great backing track and production
	10:22am bobdoesthings: amazing storage space in a hearse, I'd imagine.
	10:23am Chris from DC: Liking this Iranian thing a lot.
	10:24am Chris M.: @Chris from DC: most of the comp sounds like this which made me think it was less experimental and more whatever this is.
	10:24am bill: wow this persian stuff is kewl
	10:24am P-90: very wash-y
	10:25am bobdoesthings: 'experimental' is a funny word
	♥ 10:25am Marcel M: My Uncle had a band in NYC back when and they used to use a Hearse.
	♥ 10:25am Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks, y'a'll! Already looking forward to next year.
	10:26am just dc pat: wait, Yes I'm A Witch Too came out this year? I thought it was last year..
	10:28am Chris from DC: Hmm, if most of it sounds like that I'd be curious.
	♥ 10:33am Marcel M: Yeah, that backing band was great.
	10:35am bill: AM doom shredding rules
	♥ 10:40am Greg from ZONE 5: "In your Outlook…"
	10:52am bill: very enjoyable morning this makes for
	11:00am fleep: Greetings to the fully supported and the flopping around.
	♥ 11:02am Sem Chumbo: Fleep! How's the ole blow hole?
	11:06am davej: My ears are still ringing from a Mogwai gig in Manchester two years ago.
	11:06am Casement 5ound: Music marathon
	11:07am fleep: Sem! Long time no avatar. Blow hole at the moment is fulla pollen.
	11:08am βrian: Were you on the isthmus, it would be full of freezing rain.
	♥ 11:09am Sem Chumbo: They have Spring in LA? Never knew.
	11:13am Cecile: It snowed here yesterday and it stuck. People are offended. I'm all "hey I'm from the UP. The only time I get upset at snow is when it's in May."
	11:14am βrian: Sem, did you know that Badgers, as a moniker, came from lead miners?
	11:15am Chris from DC: I walked out on Mogwai in favor of preserving what was left of my hearing. Loudest thing I've ever heard.
	11:15am just dc pat: Ah, I see we're back on track with the 2016's. Nice work, M.
	11:16am Cecile: I saw them before the Pretty Things in '98 or '99. Pretty Things were louder, but not by much.
	11:16am just dc pat: SHIT, I missed new Mogwai?? Why didn't somebody tell me??? So that's the way it is, huh?
	♥ 11:16am JP from KC: This track is great for the gloomy clusterfuck of midwest weather we've got going on here.
	11:17am this guy: ...is digging the show Chris, thanks
	♥ 11:17am Sem Chumbo: @ βrian: I did not know that. I do know that it was a bodger who made my Windsor chair. Having a look at the Badger thing now.
	11:19am davej: @Chris from DC I couldn't have walked out if I'd wanted to as I was also blind from the strobes pointing out from the stage at the crowd. Very intense!
	11:19am βrian: Sem, they need you in Flint.
	♥ 11:20am Sem Chumbo: Wisconsin was dubbed the "Badger State" because of the lead miners who first settled there in the 1820s and 1830s. Without shelter in the winter, they had to "live like badgers" in tunnels burrowed into hillsides." Well, dip me in honey and call me mellified. Thx!
	11:22am Dean: Saw Mogwai at the Troubadour in Hollywood in late '99. Not loud at all. Maybe they toned it down because the venue is so small.
	11:24am just dc pat: I use to pride myself on my groups playing really loud. But now I have respect for bands that can get a good sound at a controlled level. Did I just turn into an old guy?
	11:25am Dean: Eh, dc pat? Speak up! Can't hear ya!
	♥ 11:26am Marcel M: @Pat: I think you did! Certain bands just seem strange when the volume is too low. Some bands it doesn't matter as much.
	11:26am Chris from DC: I'm ok with loud when it fits. I don't get loud for its own sake.
	♥ 11:26am Marcel M: There is something amazing about seeing a band play way too loud in a small club. But it does drown out the drums sometimes, which makes it kind of pointless.
	11:27am Dean: J&MC was strange with volume too low. Axel Dorner, John Butcher, and Xavier Charles, not so much.
	11:27am Chris M.: the last time i saw Mogwai they just set off several hundred air horns simultaneously through the PA while abrasive dust was blown into the audience's eyes. eight people fainted and an elderly man went into labor.
	♥ 11:27am Marcel M: @Dean: J&MC during this tour? Where did you see them?
	11:28am Cecile: I love John Butcher's solo works. That's the kind of thing you can play for someone who doesn't get free improv and they'll appreciate it.
	11:28am Chris from DC: I'd have paid to see that.
	11:29am Dean: You could hear the spittle forming on their lips the volume was so quiet. Dorner, Butcher, and Charles, I mean. No, Marcel. A long time ago at Hollywood Palladium. Oddly low volume.
	11:29am Cecile: Konono #1 was upset they couldn't get any volume. They were playing this largely folk venue, and the sound people wouldn't turn it up.
	11:29am just dc pat: 2004?? CHRIS!
	♥ 11:30am Marcel M: @Dean: Ah! Ok. I saw them this time around at term 5 and it was pretty loud. I was way in the back and my ears were ringing after.
	11:30am Cecile: High Rise are a great band who needs lots and lot of volume - it's like another instrument.
	♥ 11:30am Marcel M: Have you seen them, Cecile? I envy you.
	11:30am Lewis: @Cecile - Konono #1 is all about loud - if it isn't distorting it ain't right
	11:30am Polyus: Mogwai have always been pretty loud in my experience, but at least it's not a shrill loud. That is the worst.
	♥ 11:31am Marcel M: In order to play motorcycle guitar, one must dime his stack.
	11:31am Dean: Would love to hear J&MC again live but loud. John Butcher could open up, but not the other way around.
	11:31am just dc pat: Exactly @Cecile, there are times when it's necessary. "another instrument" = perfect description.
	11:32am just dc pat: I went with d boon style shrill loud. Turned the bass almost all the way down and the treble all the way up, using a Telecaster..
	♥ 11:33am Ken From Hyde Park: I'd like to hear some of listener Lyle's Mogwai stories.
	11:34am Cheri Pi: when/where did you see Konono #1??? Jellous. CECILE!
	11:34am βrian: If not gelatinous ...
	11:34am Cecile: Around 2005, 06? They were starting to get into a groove, and then they had to stop. Ugh. folkies.
	11:36am bill: For loud see Mainliner
	11:36am Cecile: sorry, folkies who fear electrification...
	11:36am Chris M.: when i saw Mogwai play at CBGBs they covered the floor with those large sponges you use to wash your car with. everyone thought it was for our comfort and people started lying down on them. then they dumped tons of paste onto the crowd along with boiling hot water and lit off M80s for forty minutes!
	11:36am bill: a pal pointed out that slayer sounds loud at any volume
	11:37am Cecile: Bill, I missed Mainliner, they played here about six months before High Rise did.
	11:38am Cecile: ugh. slayer live. :(
	11:38am Chris M.: slayer sucks at any volume
	11:39am Cecile: I like their records tons. Live, bad things happen to me and my friends at their shows.
	11:39am Dean: They took that sponge-and-M80s routine from Sinatra.
	11:39am Cecile: Patti Page was more of a bristle brush and Roman candle girl.
	11:39am βrian: Really? I was sure it was Steve Reich.
	11:40am bill: there was a news article once titled "9 out of 10 kids who kill listen to slayer"
	11:41am Dean: Jo Stafford taught GG Allin everything he knew, and Ethel Merman was Lux Interior's mentor.
	11:41am Cheri Pi: Mork. hahahaha
	11:42am bill: Dean (M?) you're revealing all the rat pack secrets!!
	11:43am Mork Av Myndi: Great Show. Love your Selections
	11:44am Dean: He was an inspiration to my parents, name-wise. Thank gosh they weren't fans of Bing Crosby.
	11:45am bill: Or nancy sinatra.
	11:45am Chris from DC: How could I forget Patti Page? Much louder than Mogwai.
	11:45am Cecile: Today's word is "HRRRRAW"
	11:45am Fred: Those happy pledge monkeys on the home page stole all my dance moves.
	11:46am Dean: By all means, call me Nancy!
	11:46am JakeGould: Walter Matthau's protege is Glenn Danzig.
	11:47am Cecile: "Mother" was originally entitled "Felix"
	11:47am Dean: Danzig did appear in an off-Broadway revival of "The Odd Couple" with Ian Astbury as Felix.
	11:47am βrian: @Dean: you'd 've made a hell of a cherry.
	11:47am Dean: Jinx!
	11:48am JakeGould: "Stairway to Heaven" was originally titled "Out of Control Gurney Rolling Down a Hill."
	11:48am Dean: "Hell of a Cherry"...good name for a band.
	11:48am Chris M.: i went to this Mogwai show one time and they wouldn't start until after midnight at which point the band jumped into an inflatable swimming pool and started eating snacks. it was totally nuts.
	11:49am Cecile: Great whatevers, uh, do something.
	11:49am davej: That's the Jocks for you
	11:49am Cecile: what kind of snacks?
	11:49am Chris M.: @Cecile: cheetos, pizzer, pop, you name it
	11:50am Dean: Slim Jims, I imagine. Didn't Mogwai do a commercial for those?
	11:50am Cecile: wow, they went crazy.
	11:50am bill: cecile, nuts i'm guessing
	11:50am just dc pat: If we're still talking loudness, the Cynics were the loudest group I ever saw...about 10 times..
	11:53am P-90: Chris M: I saw that Mogwai tour too. Talk about awesome...
	11:53am Dean: What do you call somebody who hates to exercise? Misogymist.
	11:54am P-90: I was bummed when I found out my health insurance provider strictly refuses to cover any injury resulting directly or indirectly from live Mogwai.
	11:55am Cecile: My insurance company does that for hailstorms and Slayer.
	11:55am βrian: Coming up: Julie filling in for Charlie wfmu.org...
	11:55am bill: p90 you need tenure for that
	11:55am davej: Including the furry ones?
	11:56am βrian: The monk was hired for a tonsure-track position.
	♥ 11:56am Ike: Akita & Ishibashi - NIIIICE
	11:56am Dean: Yeah, Slayer injuries are force majeure, acts of God.
	11:56am Sue P.: Loudest band I ever saw: Cosmic Psychos @ Euclid Tavern, Cleveland in the early '90s.
	11:57am Cecile: Sue P, I can believe it. Those loud Aussie bands are LOUD. I remember feedtime making my ears ring.
	11:58am Dean: Angel and Yes, by a mile.
	11:58am bill: for me it was Tar, like screaming sheet metal
	11:58am βrian: Was Kurt writing in cuneiform? I had that dream.
	11:59am bobdoesthings: thanks chrism!!
	11:59am JakeGould: Sarah's Pad Thai Confrontation
	11:59am bill: yay chris
	11:59am kirk from beer city usa: It's moments like this that I am really glad I gave to WFMU and specified THIS SHOW as my favorite
	12:00pm Dean: Smells Like Pad Thai.
	12:00pm P-90: Julie in for Charlie on Drummer and Martha in for Diane K. I believe. i plan to listen to one in each ear.
	12:00pm davej: That was the loudest WFMU broadcast I've ever witnessed
