	9:42am Rev. Turnip Druid: I see I've arrived just in time.
	9:42am Henry: crispy!
	9:42am Clïff in Prägůe: Loving this entire set
	♥ 9:44am MD: FREEDOM!!!
	♥ 9:44am MD: FREEFORM!!!!
	9:45am Blix: The discussion that green-lighted this intro had to have been at least as interesting as the discussion that green-lighted this album cover. Lovin' the music as always.
	9:46am commodore vic: Holy shit balls.
	9:47am blee: MANAAAAAAAHHHHHWAARRRRRR!!!
	9:48am Itzall Ablurr: re; Manowar cover art- the inclusion of "modern" flags remind me of that episode of Star Trek where the "primitive society planet" worships the remnants of American culture (flag, bill of rights, etc.). Are we there yet?
	9:49am JakeGould: “You know that intro Iron Maiden had for ‘Number of the Beast?’ And that intro Michael Jackson had for ‘Thriller?’ We’re going to own them with this intro?”
	♥ 9:49am MD: " I AM NOT GETTING BACK INTO THE VAN UNTIL YOU SAY WE ARE METAL!!!"
	9:49am Mark R: If we could just start a new country with the same Constitution, we'd be fine.
	9:50am Roberto: Oh man. I'm going to play this for my metalhead daughter.
	9:50am Rev. Turnip Druid: Epic tune. It is THE 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS for blood-soaked god heroes.
	9:51am Chris from DC: Truly they are the Kings of Metal
	9:51am outofluck70: I need a black van, with chrome mags, a whip antenna and a warlock mural
	9:52am Blix: I kinda feel as if nothing I do or see today can top that and that I may as well just go back to bed. Wow.
	♥ 9:53am MD: " I AM NOT GETTING BACK INTO THE VAN UNTIL YOU SAY WE ARE METAL!!!"
	9:53am JakeGould: I think Ken Kelly did the artwork. He did KISS's “Destroyer” as well as the artwork for the Micronaut “Alien” figures like Antro, Repto and Membros.
	♥ 9:53am Ken From Hyde Park: I'd prefer a constitution that guarantees that ISPs can't sell their customers' private data without their consent.
	♥ 9:54am psysci: I wish Metallica was still cool like this
	9:54am Henry: face melted
	♥ 9:55am psysci: RIP Cliff Burton/Metallica
	♥ 9:55am Devin B.: It's so hard to believe Metallica used to be good
	♥ 9:56am psysci: I heard some of the new songs on the radio and it seems they are taking old riffs from songs and mashing them together
	9:56am PKNY: @Devin - to me it's not that hard to believe, it's much harder to witness how far they've fallen off. In 1986, these dudes were unimpeachable.
	9:56am Cecile: yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
	9:57am Cecile: I love "Mechanix"
	9:57am Cecile: the new album is such a meh. I'd rather they'd just remake the Black album. Or go grindcore or something.
	9:59am Cecile: and Megadeth wrote a better Cliff tribute song than For Whom the Bell Tolls. I said it.
	9:59am PKNY: I bought "Death Magnetic" and liked it in spots. But I'm doing a record purge now, and I doubt I'll ever purposely listen to it again, so it promptly went up on Discogs.
	9:59am Ralphine: I was in college when Kill 'Em All came out, and I think they called it speed metal. First time I ever heard the term.
	10:00am Cecile: they still put on a great show, though. I'd see them any night of the week.
	10:00am Cecile: I was too, Ralphine (for the second time).
	10:01am Jim Devoid: Had tix to see them on Ride the Lightning, got sick...ehhhh! still painful to think about.
	10:02am Cecile: If you can see 'em, you should.
	♥ 10:02am psysci: "We recorded that demo in my garage on a 4-track. The four songs were Hit The Lights , The Mechanix , Jump In The Fire , and Motorbreath - which were all originals. Those songs were later re-recorded on the demo called No Life Til Leather . James sang differently on it, like on Jump In The Fire he would hold the note on the chorus. He was trying to be like the singer Sean Harris from DIAMOND HEAD, but he later figured that he didn't sound like Sean Harris so he decided to sing gruffer. It's funny how that demo was labeled the Power Metal demo. The story is, I went to make Metallica business cards to send to the club promoters along with our demo. The card was supposed to just have the 'Metallica' logo and a contact number. But I thought it looked too plain and decided it should say something under the logo. I didn't want to put 'hard rock' or 'heavy metal', so I coined the term Power Metal, I thought it had a nice ring to it. No band had used that term before as far as I knew. I remember bringing the business cards to the band and Lars got so pissed off at me. He said, 'What did you do! What the hell is Power Metal ?! I can't believe you did such a stupid thing! We can't use these cards with the words Power Metal on it!'. So, that's how that tape became known as the Power Metal demo."
	♥ 10:02am psysci: lol i hate Lars so much
	♥ 10:03am Hugh: Whoa. I think that was the first time I heard Manowar on FMU
	♥ 10:04am psysci: i saw them on the Load tour and as much as i was offended by them cutting their hair and starting to really suck it was still a really good show.
	10:04am Cecile: hey Marty, you or Diane should get Hellvetika on your show. She's a huge metalhead. Mostly Power metal, but also Dio, Maiden, Priest.
	10:04am PKNY: @Hugh - I think Marty is the official Manowar-man of WFMU.
	♥ 10:04am Polyus: Ha, and fantasy with metal isn't corny?
	10:04am Cecile: psychi, it's like AC/DC. It doesn't matter if the new album sucks, the show will be good.
	♥ 10:05am MD: YOU CRAZY!!! I LOVE YOU!!!
	♥ 10:05am Devin B.: @PKNY: Yeah... I was a bit too young for them in '86. And Justice was the first record I listened to and then after Enter Sandman and everything that followed I more or less wrote them off.
	10:05am Cecile: oh, and Hellvetika is a big Manowar fan, too.
	♥ 10:05am Ken From Hyde Park: I wonder how Metallica holds up against other bands at age 36.
	♥ 10:05am psysci: even with Axel Rose as lead singer n_n
	10:08am Cecile: www.thegailygrind.com...
	10:09am Cecile: What's also crazy is that Andrew Powers (Hellvetika out of drag) will also whistle along perfectly with these crazy middle eastern power metal records with chord changes on his Instagram feed.
	10:10am Cecile: Poly, metal owns its corny.
	10:16am Kurt Gottschalk: that roy orbison song was strangely midtempo.
	10:18am Claw!: OMG THIS IS THE MUSIC OF MY FATHER thanks for this, Marty!!!
	10:19am Claw!: I never really hear classic rancheras on here
	10:20am Cecile: Claw!
	10:21am Claw!: Orale, Cecile!
	10:21am Cecile: Que pasa, chica?
	♥ 10:31am Greg from ZONE 5: Congrats on a great Marathon, Marty! Greggy needs another year of Friday morning Cymande.
	♥ 10:37am psysci: oh i just realized I saw Hellvetica at new york comiccon last year
	10:39am Cecile: Cool!
	10:41am bobdoesthings: goodmorning
	♥ 10:42am psysci: dressed as a sailor moon character tho. i missed her jem and the holograms costume apparently
	♥ 10:45am Passaic River Blues: Diamond D! Showbiz & AG! DITC! Need this for always.
	10:45am Cecile: ah! Yeah, she says her inspirations are anime and also the woman riding the dragon on the back of the Heavy Metal movie soundtrack cover.
	10:53am Cecile: MAMMA RU
	♥ 10:56am psysci: we are all inspired by her :P
	10:56am Cecile: very true!
	10:57am Cecile: juice harp, alert Ken!
	♥ 11:00am Passaic River Blues: Monica is my hero.
	11:00am Cecile: yes exactly.
	11:01am Ronny G from Yorktown: I'm sure this has been asked 5000 times/you've said already, but what's the loop behind you, Marty? and what the hell is that guy saying when he picks up the phone haha you're always talking I can't hear it
	♥ 11:02am Passaic River Blues: @Ronny: Above the Law: "Black Superman", I believe.
	11:04am Ronny G from Yorktown: THANK you brother! You're the best, #1 :D
	♥ 11:06am Passaic River Blues: @Ronny: I asked the same question some time last year. I thought it might have been WC or CMW. Left Coast people would definitely look askance at that mistake.
	11:08am Chris from DC: Always wished I had seen the Cramps live.
	11:10am Bronwyn Bishop: wow this is some awesome shit right here
	♥ 11:11am Oscar: A few months ago, you played this (awesome) cover. Then, a few hours later, apparently by coincidence, Sheila played the original. I often use this story to explain to people how great WFMU is.
	11:12am Marty McSorley: i usta play the 45 on 33 all the time. w/ some reverb. but no need for a while now since this exists
	♥ 11:16am Barney Grubbs: This vaz song recycles the great riff from hammerhead's load king. They can recycle it as many times as they want as far as i'm concerned.
	11:16am Cecile: Vaz are the true heir to mission of Burma.
	11:17am PKNY: KKKKKAAAAAAARRRRRRPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!
	♥ 11:18am Devin B.: YES!
	♥ 11:20am Ike: Hi folks! Lord of Garbage, Matt W., was especially excellent this morning! If you support him as the best candidate for 6-9 a.m., e-mail your opinion to mgmt. as Asheville Jon suggested!
	11:21am fm Mike: Not my usual bag of music, but I like it!
	11:22am fm Mike: So Ike, Matt is filling in for Marty this morning?
	11:23am Bronwyn Bishop: hey look its mike & ike
	♥ 11:23am Greg from ZONE 5: @Bronwyn: HA!
	11:24am Mark R: FM Mike, Matt is doing the 6-9 am Morning Show on Fridays until we settle on a full-time person (which could end up being him!)
	11:26am fm Mike: @ Mark oh you guys were refering to that. Okay. I thought y'all meant Matt was filling in for Marty's show. I thought it wasn't, cause I recognized Marty's voice. But I had to ask lol
	♥ 11:27am psysci: if this was Matt you would hear the lava lamps in the background
	11:29am Bronwyn Bishop: this is some sick ass floyd
	♥ 11:30am Ike: @psysci LOL ha ha ha
	♥ 11:35am Ken From Hyde Park: "Song Two" feels like it's from a movie where, near the end, the world is burning up and the hero is looking for his love interest while meteors are crashing down.
	♥ 11:40am Michael 98145: fade to a shot of the river. still flowing.
	♥ 11:45am Stevel: Wow, what the slower speed does for those echoing 80s snare shots.
	11:45am bobdoesthings: having childhood memories of watching Top Gun right now.... but like.. slowed down
	♥ 11:45am Ike: Diane Kamikaze used to do this kind of thing as a weekly feature. I think was called the Slow 45? Or something like that?
	♥ 11:46am Passaic River Blues: Did you ever wonder what DJ Screw would have done to Kenny Loggins? NOW YOU KNOW!
	♥ 11:46am Michael 98145: the song makes much more sense this way
	11:47am Henry: maverick on acid
	11:48am fm Mike: Lol
	11:48am Brent: Maverick and Goose sippin on tussin
	11:48am bobdoesthings: You're dangerous
	♥ 11:49am Marcel M: Love hearin' those crackles delay
	11:49am 23 Wolves: This Doueh buuuuurns!
	11:49am Chris from DC: Oh yeah, this Group Doueh thing.
	11:49am Brent: That's right! Ice...Man...I am..dangerous.
	11:50am fm Mike: Marcel M for sure.
	♥ 11:50am Whosondephone: my boss gset so pissed off when you guys play things at the wrong speed
	♥ 11:57am Passaic River Blues: Thank you, Marty!
	11:57am fm Mike: Lol @ Whosondephone
	♥ 11:57am Michael 98145: Thank you, DJ Marty
	♥ 11:58am Sem Chumbo: Thanks, Marty! Kenny's Roasters live! Just not in a neighbourhood in the Americas.
	11:58am Blix: Excellent show as always. Going to debate Marty's Metal-Fantasy Theorem with friends over a pint in a couple of hours.
	11:59am bobdoesthings: thanks marty!
	♥ 12:01pm Devin B.: Bought Make-Up tickets myself, then realized it's on the same day as my anniversary. Good thing my wife wants to go too!
	♥ 12:03pm TR In MI: Great Show Mr McS

The card was supposed to just have the 'Metallica' logo and a contact number. But I thought it looked too plain and decided it should say something under the logo. I didn't want to put 'hard rock' or 'heavy metal', so I coined the term Power Metal, I thought it had a nice ring to it. No band had used that term before as far as I knew. I remember bringing the business cards to the band and Lars got so pissed off at me. He said, 'What did you do! What the hell is Power Metal ?! I can't believe you did such a stupid thing! We can't use these cards with the words Power Metal on it!'. So, that's how that tape became known as the Power Metal demo."
	♥ 10:02am psysci: lol i hate Lars so much
	♥ 10:03am Hugh: Whoa. I think that was the first time I heard Manowar on FMU
	♥ 10:04am psysci: i saw them on the Load tour and as much as i was offended by them cutting their hair and starting to really suck it was still a really good show.
	10:04am Cecile: hey Marty, you or Diane should get Hellvetika on your show. She's a huge metalhead. Mostly Power metal, but also Dio, Maiden, Priest.
	10:04am PKNY: @Hugh - I think Marty is the official Manowar-man of WFMU.
	♥ 10:04am Polyus: Ha, and fantasy with metal isn't corny?
	10:04am Cecile: psychi, it's like AC/DC. It doesn't matter if the new album sucks, the show will be good.
	♥ 10:05am MD: YOU CRAZY!!! I LOVE YOU!!!
	♥ 10:05am Devin B.: @PKNY: Yeah... I was a bit too young for them in '86. And Justice was the first record I listened to and then after Enter Sandman and everything that followed I more or less wrote them off.
	10:05am Cecile: oh, and Hellvetika is a big Manowar fan, too.
	♥ 10:05am Ken From Hyde Park: I wonder how Metallica holds up against other bands at age 36.
	♥ 10:05am psysci: even with Axel Rose as lead singer n_n
	10:08am Cecile: www.thegailygrind.com...
	10:09am Cecile: What's also crazy is that Andrew Powers (Hellvetika out of drag) will also whistle along perfectly with these crazy middle eastern power metal records with chord changes on his Instagram feed.
	10:10am Cecile: Poly, metal owns its corny.
	10:16am Kurt Gottschalk: that roy orbison song was strangely midtempo.
	10:18am Claw!: OMG THIS IS THE MUSIC OF MY FATHER thanks for this, Marty!!!
	10:19am Claw!: I never really hear classic rancheras on here
	10:20am Cecile: Claw!
	10:21am Claw!: Orale, Cecile!
	10:21am Cecile: Que pasa, chica?
	♥ 10:31am Greg from ZONE 5: Congrats on a great Marathon, Marty! Greggy needs another year of Friday morning Cymande.
	♥ 10:37am psysci: oh i just realized I saw Hellvetica at new york comiccon last year
	10:39am Cecile: Cool!
	10:41am bobdoesthings: goodmorning
	♥ 10:42am psysci: dressed as a sailor moon character tho. i missed her jem and the holograms costume apparently
	♥ 10:45am Passaic River Blues: Diamond D! Showbiz & AG! DITC! Need this for always.
	10:45am Cecile: ah! Yeah, she says her inspirations are anime and also the woman riding the dragon on the back of the Heavy Metal movie soundtrack cover.
	10:53am Cecile: MAMMA RU
	♥ 10:56am psysci: we are all inspired by her :P
	10:56am Cecile: very true!
	10:57am Cecile: juice harp, alert Ken!
	♥ 11:00am Passaic River Blues: Monica is my hero.
	11:00am Cecile: yes exactly.
	11:01am Ronny G from Yorktown: I'm sure this has been asked 5000 times/you've said already, but what's the loop behind you, Marty? and what the hell is that guy saying when he picks up the phone haha you're always talking I can't hear it
	♥ 11:02am Passaic River Blues: @Ronny: Above the Law: "Black Superman", I believe.
	11:04am Ronny G from Yorktown: THANK you brother! You're the best, #1 :D
	♥ 11:06am Passaic River Blues: @Ronny: I asked the same question some time last year. I thought it might have been WC or CMW. Left Coast people would definitely look askance at that mistake.
	11:08am Chris from DC: Always wished I had seen the Cramps live.
	11:10am Bronwyn Bishop: wow this is some awesome shit right here
	♥ 11:11am Oscar: A few months ago, you played this (awesome) cover. Then, a few hours later, apparently by coincidence, Sheila played the original. I often use this story to explain to people how great WFMU is.
	11:12am Marty McSorley: i usta play the 45 on 33 all the time. w/ some reverb. but no need for a while now since this exists
	♥ 11:16am Barney Grubbs: This vaz song recycles the great riff from hammerhead's load king. They can recycle it as many times as they want as far as i'm concerned.
	11:16am Cecile: Vaz are the true heir to mission of Burma.
	11:17am PKNY: KKKKKAAAAAAARRRRRRPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!
	♥ 11:18am Devin B.: YES!
	♥ 11:20am Ike: Hi folks! Lord of Garbage, Matt W., was especially excellent this morning! If you support him as the best candidate for 6-9 a.m., e-mail your opinion to mgmt. as Asheville Jon suggested!
	11:21am fm Mike: Not my usual bag of music, but I like it!
	11:22am fm Mike: So Ike, Matt is filling in for Marty this morning?
	11:23am Bronwyn Bishop: hey look its mike & ike
	♥ 11:23am Greg from ZONE 5: @Bronwyn: HA!
	11:24am Mark R: FM Mike, Matt is doing the 6-9 am Morning Show on Fridays until we settle on a full-time person (which could end up being him!)
	11:26am fm Mike: @ Mark oh you guys were refering to that. Okay. I thought y'all meant Matt was filling in for Marty's show. I thought it wasn't, cause I recognized Marty's voice. But I had to ask lol
	♥ 11:27am psysci: if this was Matt you would hear the lava lamps in the background
	11:29am Bronwyn Bishop: this is some sick ass floyd
	♥ 11:30am Ike: @psysci LOL ha ha ha
	♥ 11:35am Ken From Hyde Park: "Song Two" feels like it's from a movie where, near the end, the world is burning up and the hero is looking for his love interest while meteors are crashing down.
	♥ 11:40am Michael 98145: fade to a shot of the river. still flowing.
	♥ 11:45am Stevel: Wow, what the slower speed does for those echoing 80s snare shots.
	11:45am bobdoesthings: having childhood memories of watching Top Gun right now.... but like.. slowed down
	♥ 11:45am Ike: Diane Kamikaze used to do this kind of thing as a weekly feature. I think was called the Slow 45? Or something like that?
	♥ 11:46am Passaic River Blues: Did you ever wonder what DJ Screw would have done to Kenny Loggins? NOW YOU KNOW!
	♥ 11:46am Michael 98145: the song makes much more sense this way
	11:47am Henry: maverick on acid
	11:48am fm Mike: Lol
	11:48am Brent: Maverick and Goose sippin on tussin
	11:48am bobdoesthings: You're dangerous
	♥ 11:49am Marcel M: Love hearin' those crackles delay
	11:49am 23 Wolves: This Doueh buuuuurns!
	11:49am Chris from DC: Oh yeah, this Group Doueh thing.
	11:49am Brent: That's right! Ice...Man...I am..dangerous.
	11:50am fm Mike: Marcel M for sure.
	♥ 11:50am Whosondephone: my boss gset so pissed off when you guys play things at the wrong speed
	♥ 11:57am Passaic River Blues: Thank you, Marty!
	11:57am fm Mike: Lol @ Whosondephone
	♥ 11:57am Michael 98145: Thank you, DJ Marty
	♥ 11:58am Sem Chumbo: Thanks, Marty! Kenny's Roasters live! Just not in a neighbourhood in the Americas.
	11:58am Blix: Excellent show as always. Going to debate Marty's Metal-Fantasy Theorem with friends over a pint in a couple of hours.
