	3:07pm wfmu listener phillip: LOVED that last song olivia played "Skin" by Zola Jesus.
	3:08pm Lixiviated Life: I went to see the Whitney to see the Warhol exhibit. Thought provoking. In retrospect, I now see VU is the rock band equivalent of Andy W.
	3:08pm tim from champaign: How come I never tire of the Velvets an am continually amazed even though I've listened to them thousands of times?
	3:09pm dale: another tribute show - the failure of eternal life.

	3:10pm Michael 98145: so glad i was able to see Nico before she fell and expired.
	3:11pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I think VU is similar to U2 in that both take avant -garde music from the extreme abstract and also punk world (respectively) and make it more accessible to a college radio crowd. Well, in U2's case, a stadium arena crowd. I think I read part of that in a review once.The VU stuff I just made up. Thoughts?
	3:11pm TDK60: ..bought the first V.U. LP in a Shop Rite supermarket in suburban NJ!
	3:13pm listener monica: somewhere in the universe there is a cassette tape of me singing ATP with my boyfriend playing guitar. the tape was stolen out of a car somewhere in California. i hope the thief appreciated the sounds.
	3:13pm Lixiviated Life: I've wasted hours of my life in a Shop Rite supermarket in suburban NJ
	3:13pm The Oscar: Ahh, I see now. RIP JM.
	3:13pm TomDash: Great tribute to Jonas Mekas - RIP
	3:14pm listener james from westwood: I perform the Shop Rite about once a week. Buy the sacrifice there, too. Mmmm ... chicken.
	3:14pm Carmichael: Hi Ho!
	3:14pm The Oscar: Is Kenneth Anger the last of that generation left? Mekas, Warhol, Brakhage, the Kuchars...
	3:15pm Booz: Man, hearing Stan's voice takes me back to college
	3:15pm TomDash: @The Oscar - Michael Snow is alive and well!
	3:15pm Michael 98145: difficult to be -underground- anymore
	3:16pm βrian: What's that strange clattering sound? Is that a DVD player?
	3:16pm brainiac: The Last Generation On The Left
	3:17pm The Oscar: @TomDash Good call-- thanks!
	3:17pm Hersh: Heck yah good stuff!
	👻 3:17pm Bas NL: Hello Fabio & all!
	3:17pm TomDash: ...also Ken Jacobs
	3:18pm coelacanth∅: haha "art without distraction"...without the distraction of art.

	3:18pm coelacanth∅: βrian i thought it was a film projector
	3:19pm Michael 98145: { some uninitiated viewers may find them ... confusing }
	3:22pm steveo: more prepared piano?
	3:22pm steveo: harp murder?
	3:22pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @TDK 60-what suburb-Mahwah? Paramus? Ho-ho-kus?
	👻 3:22pm mrdonutsu: It's easy to be underground. I am in fact underground (and underground) as I type right now.
	3:22pm steveo: harpsichord humiliation?
	3:22pm Booz: The visual track to this episode is accessible by closing your eyes tightly and rubbing them.
	3:24pm The Oscar: I had a TA in college who saw The Matrix in the theater with Stan Brakhage, and I will never stop being jealous.
	3:24pm Itzall Ablurr: And by "uninitiated" we mean NOT tripping balls.
	3:25pm Scott: Enjoying the show thus far
	3:25pm TDK60: Wild Neil - it was Nutley, NJ, 1967; the year "Banana" came out.
	3:26pm steveo: was it in the produce aisle?
	3:30pm Lixiviated Life: @stevo it's all happening in the produce aisle my friend
	3:31pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @TDK 60-do you still have it?? Did you peel the banana???
	3:31pm TDK60: steveo: yes, over there by the bananas. No, they had just installed a free-standing LP shelf-booth thing as you walked in. I was intrigued. And I took it home and listened to it..holy smokes!
	3:32pm northguineahills: Angus!
	3:33pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: @TDK 60-I saw a Greek import of a David Bowie album at Rockaway Sales in Newton, should have bought it. It was an odd looking album!
	3:33pm northguineahills: I have it displayed, and I've peeled the banana...
	3:33pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: ...aw man, NEVER peel the banana!
	3:34pm steveo: tdk60: fascinating! maclise: twas a cimbalom, i am told by very reputable sources
	3:34pm Lixiviated Life: Sometimes you have no choice but to peel the banana. Are we not men?
	3:36pm TDK60: That LP was lost/ripped long ago; have another. Yeah, I stripped the peel. // "I'm waiting for my man, $26 in my hand." <what does that mean? (a 15-year-old then).
	3:37pm Somebody: The First Subtle Cabinet reminded me of Arca's music, especially the bells throughout that track.
	3:38pm Michael 98145: well, that was certainly -some- way to start a show !
	3:40pm coelacanth∅: it's bait. not peeling the banana would be like not opening up the sticky fingers gatefold, or not... wasn't there an album with the lyrics printed on the inside of the sleeve?
	3:42pm coelacanth∅: (or not getting wet the colorfast led zeppelin sleeve....which i actually accomplished. i really didn't care. but it eventually started displaying colors anyway)
	👻 3:45pm Ken From Hyde Park: That banana's conditions were ripe for failure.
	3:47pm White Michael: I think there were some issues between Jonas and member of the Living Theater. I attended some showing of a bunch of old stuff including Living Theater performances. Some of them were there and none too happy about it. Jonas was not there... but i remember some shouting and Fuck yous going around
	3:48pm The Oscar: Jonas appeared at the Harvard Film Archive just a couple of years ago-- kicking myself now for missing it...
	3:50pm yippie: David peel too
	3:51pm spodiodi: tips hat to Fabio y fracasados/fracasadas. good things for all people. music forever, please.
	3:55pm TomDash: Ha! I was just thinking about the Miles Davis/John Lennon basketball clip - Jonas Mekas was a true documenter of the downtown arts scene in NYC...always carrying his 16mm camera to chronicle a certain time in the city.
	3:55pm V Priceless: Dali lived @ the St. Regis Hotel, I think
	3:57pm northguineahills: I'm on day 9 of eating nothing but the mexi chicken soup I made from scratch. Who knew there would be so much food (and I don't eat much, either...)
	👻 4:03pm Ken From Hyde Park: A chicken soup novena. Nice!
	4:16pm dale: he makes it seem so simple. if we throw out self-imposed roadblocks it probably is.
	4:19pm still b/p: The desultory organ noodling in Uh Yes Uh No reminded me of someone vaguely playing with the organ part from the early portion of Highway Star. So I went and listened to Highway Star. Now all the furniture is unpended and the windows are all broken, and the Mekas is a leveling dial-down.
	4:20pm JakeGould: Posted this on Trouble’s list but will share it here as well: “Williamsburg Brooklyn During the Golden Age Before the Emergence of Artists’ Utopia”: Very cool footage of the Lithuanian parts of Williamsburg in the 1950s and then a return in the 1970s. www.youtube.com...
	4:22pm JakeGould: Andy Warhol and his Polaroid camera and tape recorder and Jonas Mekas and his 16mm/8mm cameras just documenting stuff really does echo the world of Instagram and such we live in today.
	4:23pm northguineahills: Curious how many progenitors of Fluxus were Lithuanian.
	4:24pm Somebody: What's the song playing in the background now? It sounds really nice!
	4:24pm northguineahills: Curious, how many progenitators of Fluxus were Lithuanian.
	4:24pm JakeGould: Robert Capa was Hungarian. Lots of Eastern European culture in cool culture.
	4:26pm northguineahills: @Somebody: VU's "All tomorrow's parties".
	4:30pm Somebody: Also, how do you spell Ron Vorder's name?
	4:31pm northguineahills: Nick Hallet had some great anecdotes on Jonas on David Weinstein's Ridgewood Radio on the Give the Drummer Some stream, yesterday.
	4:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...as opposed to TheBeatles' 'Carnival of Light'...
	4:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...tho' Mekas was buds w/ John&Yoko...
	4:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: A Prophet like Warhol you say. Interesting.
	4:42pm tak: lol
	4:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sorry Haters - but this is amazing.
	4:43pm Listener Robert: Well, you got my housemate's and his dog's ears, at least.
	4:44pm Johnzon: why do people hate on yoko ono's singing this is cool
	4:44pm spodiodi: Not a hater, but not intelligent enough to appreciate, I guess.
	4:45pm spodiodi: I don't get the Grateful Dead either
	4:45pm tak: wasn't hating, it is amazing, still makes me laugh!
	4:45pm spodiodi: and i like noise, but ... dat warble
	4:46pm ottovonbqe: Wondering will anyone ever discover the video portion of this sex tape
	4:46pm northguineahills: what the rabbit said....
	4:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Would they Hate Ornette? TheStooges? Japanese block prints of demons? It's about pain, granted...
	4:47pm David Colangelo: WTF.....
	4:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& John here. Love it. ...Oh well.
	4:48pm Michael 98145: @JakeG, thanks for that link!
	4:49pm nic: great love this!!!
	4:49pm Fredericks: I'll be frank. This is not my favorite Lennon.
	4:50pm Johnzon: tak I was speaking generally I didn't read the previous comments before posting
	4:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I guess Paul didn't have as many miscarriages...
	4:51pm spodiodi: take away the vocal, and I'd put it on repeat
	4:51pm coelacanth∅: i like this and i have since i first heard it, in the 70s. my only problem with it though is the mix. yoko's vocals should be secondary to the git + feedback sounds, which are far more interesting (and far less self-indulgent!) - maybe coming up loud occasionally, and with heavy echo at times. John's exploring some interesting territory here.
	4:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...or walk around after Hiroshima...
	4:51pm spodiodi: the rumor in my neck of the woods was those were all(8?) "induced" miscarriages
	4:52pm Fredericks: Did I turn it off? No.
	4:52pm P-90: @coel: agree 100%
	4:52pm spodiodi: ignorance had a field day before the interjam
	4:53pm Circo Americano: This "Unfinished Music Vol. 2: Life With the Lions" is TRANSCENDENT John & Yoko material!
	4:53pm northguineahills: Brilliant!
	4:53pm Johnzon: i like the vocal
	4:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lennon's relationship to Production alone could be - a very deep rabbithole indeed...
	4:56pm coelacanth∅: yes, Rabbit, no need to go down that rabbit hole; but i' would love to have "produced" John & Yoko's sessions. (as opposed to, say, nobody producing them)
	4:56pm fletchernyc: Love the John and Yoko. Indulge! I say!
	4:57pm spodiodi: i hear nobody is up for an award
	4:57pm spodiodi: digging the Mekas though
	4:58pm coelacanth∅: nobody never gets it
	4:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Bowie said John convinced him Managers weren't necessary either...
	4:59pm tak: it was a different time.
	5:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah yerknow - repressed stuff had to come out.
	5:03pm coelacanth∅: Bowie had a good head for business, probably; though i'm sure he still had a manager. technically he was right and some people would've been better off without the shittyass scammer managers they had; but can you imagine Lennon without a manager? - not xactly a business man.
	5:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well - Paul was right about Klein.
	5:07pm Mr.taxi: I dig
	5:12pm coelacanth∅: right...as well as Wyman, but they didn't listen.
	5:12pm spodiodi: only wish there were more recordings of the 5th Beatle vimeo.com...
	5:13pm cobradan: Hey Fabio, Hey Glistners!!!
	5:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well - John wanted to make Billy Preston a Beatle...he pretty much was.
	5:18pm spodiodi: thanks for the (real) info, RR '63
	5:20pm coelacanth∅: spodiodi, thanks. that's eye-opening,man. i never knew!
	5:21pm spodiodi: coel, my pleasure. Clarence deserves recognition
	5:23pm northguineahills: damn, this... is just perfect right now.. have the windows open, letting the warm sunshine in..., perfect day
	5:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Stamina here.
	5:24pm Michael 98145: { watching "Williamsburg, Brooklyn" ... }
	5:25pm spodiodi: oooh, i love tea
	5:27pm northguineahills: making oolong tea right now....
	5:28pm Granny Spicy Tuna: been drinking a combination of puerh and oolong this week
	5:30pm northguineahills: just finished my yerba mate....
	5:32pm zpulpa: I just poured a cup of Throat Coat, last cup before im off work.
	5:35pm seth from muddy creek: Talking about Mekas?
	5:35pm northguineahills: Wow, I miss the Mars Bar, that place was nuts!
	5:35pm zpulpa: yup
	5:36pm seth from muddy creek: Anybody remember Cockies
	5:37pm Theo: RIP MARS BAR...RIP ALEX...RIP NYC...LIVE LONG WFMU!!!
	5:37pm northguineahills: @seth: Of course I remember Cokies! The name said what it was used for!
	5:38pm seth from muddy creek: He taught at my college. Guy was an animal.
	5:43pm common: Diggin the warped everything. Very good.
	5:45pm βrian: Both the warp and the weft.
	5:49pm Linda Lee: before i saw the names on this track i recognized a certain place & time in the sound.
	5:50pm Linda Lee: had friends who curated & showed at Mars a long time ago. off goes Mars .. away goes a dream city.
	5:52pm spodiodi: time for a NEW New York... with more Mars
	5:52pm Linda Lee: i think the new new york is here, but decentralized. so many of us scattered & brought a piece along.
	5:53pm Linda Lee: then again, back in the day the Times asked 'whither Bohemia?' without a understanding that it's not a place, but a sensibility.
	5:54pm spodiodi: I like that thought, Linda Lee
	5:56pm Linda Lee: makes sense, no?
	5:56pm βrian: @LL: Well, unless you're from the Czech Republic, of course ...
	5:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Art & the Street come together in NYC in a very particular way.
	5:56pm spodiodi: Fabio, thanks once again for another great show. Calms the voices.
	5:57pm seth from muddy creek: Wow. Nice follow up
	5:57pm Brendan: Fab....
	5:57pm Linda Lee: no, the Times was talkin' media bohemia..
	5:58pm Linda Lee: still can't believe i might've seen the velvets myself if my favorite uncle had liked them. he knew the factory crowd, but didn't like rock very much.
	5:58pm P-90: Thanks Fabio! You a master of the heartfelt tribute show.
	5:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah Thx Fabio.
	5:59pm seth from muddy creek: Saw cale solo piano. So rad
	5:59pm ?: re:Madison Smartt Bell's "The Washington Square Ensemble:?
	5:59pm Linda Lee: i'm stupid late & have to check the archives!
	5:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Fabio take care

	3:36pm TDK60: That LP was lost/ripped long ago; have another. Yeah, I stripped the peel. // "I'm waiting for my man, $26 in my hand." <what does that mean? (a 15-year-old then).
	3:37pm Somebody: The First Subtle Cabinet reminded me of Arca's music, especially the bells throughout that track.
	3:38pm Michael 98145: well, that was certainly -some- way to start a show !
	3:40pm coelacanth∅: it's bait. not peeling the banana would be like not opening up the sticky fingers gatefold, or not... wasn't there an album with the lyrics printed on the inside of the sleeve?
	3:42pm coelacanth∅: (or not getting wet the colorfast led zeppelin sleeve....which i actually accomplished. i really didn't care. but it eventually started displaying colors anyway)
	👻 3:45pm Ken From Hyde Park: That banana's conditions were ripe for failure.
	3:47pm White Michael: I think there were some issues between Jonas and member of the Living Theater. I attended some showing of a bunch of old stuff including Living Theater performances. Some of them were there and none too happy about it. Jonas was not there... but i remember some shouting and Fuck yous going around
	3:48pm The Oscar: Jonas appeared at the Harvard Film Archive just a couple of years ago-- kicking myself now for missing it...
	3:50pm yippie: David peel too
	3:51pm spodiodi: tips hat to Fabio y fracasados/fracasadas. good things for all people. music forever, please.
	3:55pm TomDash: Ha! I was just thinking about the Miles Davis/John Lennon basketball clip - Jonas Mekas was a true documenter of the downtown arts scene in NYC...always carrying his 16mm camera to chronicle a certain time in the city.
	3:55pm V Priceless: Dali lived @ the St. Regis Hotel, I think
	3:57pm northguineahills: I'm on day 9 of eating nothing but the mexi chicken soup I made from scratch. Who knew there would be so much food (and I don't eat much, either...)
	👻 4:03pm Ken From Hyde Park: A chicken soup novena. Nice!
	4:16pm dale: he makes it seem so simple. if we throw out self-imposed roadblocks it probably is.
	4:19pm still b/p: The desultory organ noodling in Uh Yes Uh No reminded me of someone vaguely playing with the organ part from the early portion of Highway Star. So I went and listened to Highway Star. Now all the furniture is unpended and the windows are all broken, and the Mekas is a leveling dial-down.
	4:20pm JakeGould: Posted this on Trouble’s list but will share it here as well: “Williamsburg Brooklyn During the Golden Age Before the Emergence of Artists’ Utopia”: Very cool footage of the Lithuanian parts of Williamsburg in the 1950s and then a return in the 1970s. www.youtube.com...
	4:22pm JakeGould: Andy Warhol and his Polaroid camera and tape recorder and Jonas Mekas and his 16mm/8mm cameras just documenting stuff really does echo the world of Instagram and such we live in today.
	4:23pm northguineahills: Curious how many progenitors of Fluxus were Lithuanian.
	4:24pm Somebody: What's the song playing in the background now? It sounds really nice!
	4:24pm northguineahills: Curious, how many progenitators of Fluxus were Lithuanian.
	4:24pm JakeGould: Robert Capa was Hungarian. Lots of Eastern European culture in cool culture.
	4:26pm northguineahills: @Somebody: VU's "All tomorrow's parties".
	4:30pm Somebody: Also, how do you spell Ron Vorder's name?
	4:31pm northguineahills: Nick Hallet had some great anecdotes on Jonas on David Weinstein's Ridgewood Radio on the Give the Drummer Some stream, yesterday.
	4:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...as opposed to TheBeatles' 'Carnival of Light'...
	4:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...tho' Mekas was buds w/ John&Yoko...
	4:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: A Prophet like Warhol you say. Interesting.
	4:42pm tak: lol
	4:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Sorry Haters - but this is amazing.
	4:43pm Listener Robert: Well, you got my housemate's and his dog's ears, at least.
	4:44pm Johnzon: why do people hate on yoko ono's singing this is cool
	4:44pm spodiodi: Not a hater, but not intelligent enough to appreciate, I guess.
	4:45pm spodiodi: I don't get the Grateful Dead either
	4:45pm tak: wasn't hating, it is amazing, still makes me laugh!
	4:45pm spodiodi: and i like noise, but ... dat warble
	4:46pm ottovonbqe: Wondering will anyone ever discover the video portion of this sex tape
	4:46pm northguineahills: what the rabbit said....
	4:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Would they Hate Ornette? TheStooges? Japanese block prints of demons? It's about pain, granted...
	4:47pm David Colangelo: WTF.....
	4:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& John here. Love it. ...Oh well.
	4:48pm Michael 98145: @JakeG, thanks for that link!
	4:49pm nic: great love this!!!
	4:49pm Fredericks: I'll be frank. This is not my favorite Lennon.
	4:50pm Johnzon: tak I was speaking generally I didn't read the previous comments before posting
	4:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I guess Paul didn't have as many miscarriages...
	4:51pm spodiodi: take away the vocal, and I'd put it on repeat
	4:51pm coelacanth∅: i like this and i have since i first heard it, in the 70s. my only problem with it though is the mix. yoko's vocals should be secondary to the git + feedback sounds, which are far more interesting (and far less self-indulgent!) - maybe coming up loud occasionally, and with heavy echo at times. John's exploring some interesting territory here.
	4:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...or walk around after Hiroshima...
	4:51pm spodiodi: the rumor in my neck of the woods was those were all(8?) "induced" miscarriages
	4:52pm Fredericks: Did I turn it off? No.
	4:52pm P-90: @coel: agree 100%
	4:52pm spodiodi: ignorance had a field day before the interjam
	4:53pm Circo Americano: This "Unfinished Music Vol. 2: Life With the Lions" is TRANSCENDENT John & Yoko material!
	4:53pm northguineahills: Brilliant!
	4:53pm Johnzon: i like the vocal
	4:53pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lennon's relationship to Production alone could be - a very deep rabbithole indeed...
	4:56pm coelacanth∅: yes, Rabbit, no need to go down that rabbit hole; but i' would love to have "produced" John & Yoko's sessions. (as opposed to, say, nobody producing them)
	4:56pm fletchernyc: Love the John and Yoko. Indulge! I say!
	4:57pm spodiodi: i hear nobody is up for an award
	4:57pm spodiodi: digging the Mekas though
	4:58pm coelacanth∅: nobody never gets it
	4:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...Bowie said John convinced him Managers weren't necessary either...
	4:59pm tak: it was a different time.
	5:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah yerknow - repressed stuff had to come out.
	5:03pm coelacanth∅: Bowie had a good head for business, probably; though i'm sure he still had a manager. technically he was right and some people would've been better off without the shittyass scammer managers they had; but can you imagine Lennon without a manager? - not xactly a business man.
	5:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well - Paul was right about Klein.
	5:07pm Mr.taxi: I dig
	5:12pm coelacanth∅: right...as well as Wyman, but they didn't listen.
	5:12pm spodiodi: only wish there were more recordings of the 5th Beatle vimeo.com...
	5:13pm cobradan: Hey Fabio, Hey Glistners!!!
	5:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well - John wanted to make Billy Preston a Beatle...he pretty much was.
	5:18pm spodiodi: thanks for the (real) info, RR '63
	5:20pm coelacanth∅: spodiodi, thanks. that's eye-opening,man. i never knew!
	5:21pm spodiodi: coel, my pleasure. Clarence deserves recognition
	5:23pm northguineahills: damn, this... is just perfect right now.. have the windows open, letting the warm sunshine in..., perfect day
	5:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Stamina here.
	5:24pm Michael 98145: { watching "Williamsburg, Brooklyn" ... }
	5:25pm spodiodi: oooh, i love tea
	5:27pm northguineahills: making oolong tea right now....
	5:28pm Granny Spicy Tuna: been drinking a combination of puerh and oolong this week
	5:30pm northguineahills: just finished my yerba mate....
	5:32pm zpulpa: I just poured a cup of Throat Coat, last cup before im off work.
	5:35pm seth from muddy creek: Talking about Mekas?
	5:35pm northguineahills: Wow, I miss the Mars Bar, that place was nuts!
	5:35pm zpulpa: yup
	5:36pm seth from muddy creek: Anybody remember Cockies
	5:37pm Theo: RIP MARS BAR...RIP ALEX...RIP NYC...LIVE LONG WFMU!!!
	5:37pm northguineahills: @seth: Of course I remember Cokies! The name said what it was used for!
	5:38pm seth from muddy creek: He taught at my college. Guy was an animal.
	5:43pm common: Diggin the warped everything. Very good.
	5:45pm βrian: Both the warp and the weft.
	5:49pm Linda Lee: before i saw the names on this track i recognized a certain place & time in the sound.
	5:50pm Linda Lee: had friends who curated & showed at Mars a long time ago. off goes Mars .. away goes a dream city.
	5:52pm spodiodi: time for a NEW New York... with more Mars
	5:52pm Linda Lee: i think the new new york is here, but decentralized. so many of us scattered & brought a piece along.
	5:53pm Linda Lee: then again, back in the day the Times asked 'whither Bohemia?' without a understanding that it's not a place, but a sensibility.
	5:54pm spodiodi: I like that thought, Linda Lee
	5:56pm Linda Lee: makes sense, no?
	5:56pm βrian: @LL: Well, unless you're from the Czech Republic, of course ...
	5:56pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Art & the Street come together in NYC in a very particular way.
	5:56pm spodiodi: Fabio, thanks once again for another great show. Calms the voices.
	5:57pm seth from muddy creek: Wow. Nice follow up
	5:57pm Brendan: Fab....
	5:57pm Linda Lee: no, the Times was talkin' media bohemia..
	5:58pm Linda Lee: still can't believe i might've seen the velvets myself if my favorite uncle had liked them. he knew the factory crowd, but didn't like rock very much.
	5:58pm P-90: Thanks Fabio! You a master of the heartfelt tribute show.
	5:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah Thx Fabio.
	5:59pm seth from muddy creek: Saw cale solo piano. So rad
	5:59pm ?: re:Madison Smartt Bell's "The Washington Square Ensemble:?
	5:59pm Linda Lee: i'm stupid late & have to check the archives!
