	3:25pm zpulpa: Thank you for taking us to this tender hearted place Scott.
	3:26pm Bas NL: Can you tell what's here name @fred?
	3:26pm VincentNifigance: "Choke on 'em!" RIP Joe Pilato.
	3:27pm Arnold Layne: Check out Nick Mason's /Saucer full of Secrets tour! Very sad to see Scott Walker exit this planet.
	3:28pm Bas NL: That's can you tell here what's her name.. ;)
	3:28pm fred: @Bas: Cynthia Loemij. The "ij" was the tricky part
	3:28pm TDK60: Hello music listeners.
	3:30pm Bas NL: Tricky one.. With typical dutch vowel sounds 'oe' and 'ij'...
	3:34pm đ¢ ÞäŦ: that AT&tSS tune was wild.
	3:34pm Bas NL: Das Traktor!
	3:35pm kudubundu: Just read the chat and discovered that Scott Walker has died. RIP Scott. This saddens me.
	3:40pm fred: @Bas: I'd watch her wash dishes. I saw her for most of her career, and she means so much to me
	🧩 3:40pm karlward: I don't listen to enough Minnie Riperton. This is great.
	3:41pm Scott Williams: @karlward, she was really stunning, check out her old band too, The Rotary Connection
	3:41pm Aitch: Scott Walker dead? Break out the weird and wonderful.
	3:43pm Bas NL: @fred Seems like someone you'd have to get to know better?
	3:44pm Hugo (NL): Good evening!
	3:45pm steveo: jessica pavone with 3 others 4/28 in brooklyn bkcm.org... I think she's swell.
	3:45pm TDK60: Ha! "the good Scott Walker"! Right on, Scott.
	3:47pm fred: @Bas: No, her dance is more than enough. I hope she keeps dancing.
	3:47pm βrian: Yeah, the other one has become a gerrymandering consultant.
	🧩 3:50pm Devin B.: Odyssey and Oracle is one of the most re-listenable records ever
	3:51pm Chris from DC: Th'Overlord!
	3:51pm Bas NL: @fred And you to keep enjoying her dance!
	3:51pm Haiku Henry: Hi Scott.
	3:51pm mrdonutsu: Now this is what the kids have been waiting for!
	3:53pm Scott Williams: Sup Henry!
	🧩 3:56pm karlward: Somehow this feels like the opposite of Minnie Riperton. Like, the exact opposite.
	3:56pm Chris from DC: Vocals are awesome, but my throat hurts a bit just listening.
	3:56pm mrdonutsu: Five seconds to walk up that hill - to the free methadone clinic...
	🧩 3:57pm chris: goddamn this is great. hi, Scott and folks.
	🧩 3:57pm tim from champaign: Hello everybody! Is Pharoah Overlord's vocals this gurggly on their other songs?
	🧩 3:58pm tim from champaign: @mrdontsu - Mudhoney's take is my preferred lyrics.
	3:58pm Chris from DC: They're instrumental on everything I've heard.
	4:00pm mrdonutsu: There is pretty much nothing "is" about Pharaoh Overlord or Circle. Each release is quite distinct. They have even essentially "covered" each other (Circle did an album called Pharaoh Overlord, and vice versa).
	4:02pm steveo: that was my sister, Etta, I swear
	4:03pm mrdonutsu: @tim - Yes, which launched the great Seattle - Rugby FuzzSchism of 92. (And then I was riffing on Smitty from Dosed Bernie riffing on Mark from Mudhoney riffing on Spacemen 3).
	4:04pm McGreivey: I have lingering in the back of my brain another great version of I'd Rather Go Blind. Who? Somebody British.
	4:06pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello Scott! My office mate just left and I can now put on the radio, or the digital facsimile of the radio. Yay!
	4:08pm fred: @Bas: I feel when she's going to move. It's a physical connection I can't explain
	4:08pm cluebucket: so wonderful etta
	4:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: WendyWebio. Hullo.
	4:08pm McGreivey: Chicken Shack/Christine McVie. and Barbara Lynn's is fine well
	4:08pm kudubundu: Chicken Shack. A favourite version of "I'd Rather Go Blind".
	4:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...LeoKotke w/ the Dead...
	4:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (...as a good thing...)
	4:12pm listener monica: i am ESPECIALLY enjoying your show today, Scott!
	4:13pm kudubundu: I feel like hearing "Who Knows Where The Time Goes" by Sandy Denny whenever someone important in my life dies. Great show Scott. Thanks.
	4:18pm Chris: Nice...
	4:18pm Wendy del Formaggio: Oh crap. I just saw the Scott Walker sad news. Sigh...
	4:22pm Andrea in Jersey City: I like today’s show too
	4:23pm Bas NL: @fred.. Sorry, was in the kitchen.. To my experience Art can be very confusing when it makes much sense.. :)
	4:23pm Scott Williams: thanks Monica & Andrea!
	4:26pm Dan the man: Scott, that quote you always play u der the Nino Rota, is that Fellini? He has the same high squeaky voice in Italian, it sounds like him if he were speaking in English. And he was a notorious liar during interviews. Just curious.
	4:32pm Jeremy: Ah, the great Bread LP destruction fiasco...caused quite a stir online as I recall.
	4:33pm Spankyflop: If all goes well for me job-wise, I'll be upping my pledge.
	4:33pm Jeremy: Sublime show today Scott!
	4:34pm queems: i literally opened a letter from wfmu about the marathon as you spoke about letters about the marathon being mailed out
	4:34pm dale: hello. i'm sure fabio will do a very thorough memorial.
	4:36pm Bas NL: I love that Bowie record.
	🧩 4:37pm chresti: Yes, Larry Grogan, too@dale
	4:37pm listener james from westwood: Absolutely never would've heard Walker without WFMU.
	4:37pm Spankyflop: I first heard about Scott Walker by ordering a cd from the old WFMU Catalog or Curiosities way back when.
	🧩 4:39pm chresti: I;m glad you are featuring the strange, haunting SW
	4:39pm TDK60: I didn't like the Walker Bros much back during the mid-60s, a bit too soft pop for me then. But his later '60s-'70s records had such seriousness in the lyrics. You could see development of a serious musical thinker. Then later he got very out there. And that stuff is good too.
	4:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I will always conflate Scott Walker a little bit w/ Julian Cope - who for me was one of the most important cultural touchstones of the last decades - even tho' I think Cope later disassociated himself...
	4:40pm dale: this is what i posted on fb on news of his demise. such a huge production.
	4:41pm Mike tp: such a small love is beautiful..!!!! N new to me..!!!
	4:41pm Phillippe Bastille: Did Mark Hollis ever attribute SW as an influence? I can hear it
	4:43pm cluebucket: shivers
	4:44pm dale: listen to nick cave's 'watching alice' after this. or any tindersticks. or the divine comedy.
	4:44pm Scott Williams: Chills when this chorus hits
	4:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: He's like a New Wave European filmmaker - in Pop Music. The marriage of voice & mind...
	4:45pm listener james from westwood: Damn straight.
	4:46pm Phillippe Bastille: @dale yes! Nick Cave!
	4:46pm slugluv1313: what dale said @ 4:44 thank-you, Scott, for this lovely, loving tribute
	4:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Have said that while one dreams of just writing a tune - Bowie wrote Stories. Well this is like Directing...
	🧩 4:48pm Ken From Hyde Park: Makes me want to just go to bed, like John & Yoko fifty years ago.
	4:48pm listener monica: I came to know scott walker's work through anton newcombe on myspace. i didn't get it. til now.
	4:49pm owen: @ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 - the same, i kind of missed the boat re: scott walker for years, didnt know where to start with it until hearing that julian cope compilation
	4:50pm dale: i picked up scott 1-4 at other music and it was all i listened to on my ipod / bus commute for about 6 months.
	🧩 4:50pm chresti: The production is what made me sit up and take notice
	🧩 4:52pm chresti: Yeah! that flying saucer in the background
	4:53pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks for this Scott-o-philia! Uncle Michael says he's going to fill his program with Scott Walker too!
	4:53pm common: I’ve heard this 3 times today. Gorgeous. Miss him.
	4:54pm TDK60: Boy Child a fave. Just wondrous.
	4:55pm dale: yes - one of his best.
	4:55pm Phillippe Bastille: Mind blowing that this is 50 years old. Way ahead of its time.
	4:56pm Carmichael: Heya Scott. Just royally bummed about Scott Walker ...
	4:56pm slugluv1313: hi Monica! Scott Walker = intense, genius . . . do not know ALL of his work, but i so love his "darker," "difficult" stuff -- SO worth exploring
	4:57pm Roberto: It's the Scott Walkiams Show!
	4:57pm slugluv1313: @ Phillippe Bastille -- yes, way ahead of his time (as was Barbara Hammer -- different medium but so way ahead of her time too)
	4:59pm dale: imagine if robert goulet had gone down this road. we might be listening to him on fmu.
	4:59pm Fox: Thank you for this. I had only a slight understanding of Scott Walker, and this is wonderful.
	5:00pm McGreivey: What does Scott Walker's voice sound like without reverb?
	🧩 5:00pm chresti: This is so bizarre-girls from the streets
	5:01pm Passaic River Blues: Walker is definitely one of the great WFMU unifiers. Marty alone has probably aired “The Electrician” a dozen times in the last several years.
	5:01pm Phillippe Bastille: Surprised Irwin hasn't worked in a Goulet or two...
	🧩 5:02pm chresti: Haha@dale
	5:02pm Roberto: There's no reason we can't listen to Robert Goulet!
	5:02pm scott essence: Thanks for this. A partner left this morning.. and then I went to work today and got fired. So this couldn't be more perfect. And the absolute freedom I feel inside my chest leaves no room for sadness. I will never forget this music
	5:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Didn't Clay play Goulet? Thing is - I love Crooners...
	5:03pm dale: clay played a snippet of something from camelot with goulet. actually glen jones may have played him, he plays some obscure show tunes.
	5:03pm Carmichael: I was watching Django Unchained last night, and I could swear the intro song was Scott Walker. Turns out to be someone else with a similar voice. How could that be?!?
	5:04pm dale: rev rab beat me to it.
	5:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - but you have the deets. scott essence - Blessings. It's good to have FMU - isn't it?
	5:07pm Carmichael: Jesus F*ck, scott essence. What a bummer day for you.
	5:07pm dale: but imagine you're a 17 year old out at the ben franklin and you see a scott walker album and you think 'oh yeah, the walker brothers.' you put it on the console and you most likely would take it back and say it has a skip in it. i think it took 30 or 40 years to become cool.
	5:08pm McGreivey: The definition of "crooner" has changed. jazz fan/scholar father used to complain about that.
	5:09pm Greg from ZONE 5: Oh hey, and he shares a birthday with myself, Lee Van Cleef and MF Doom! Knew he sounded like a Capricorn…
	5:09pm andrewb: I wonder if walker was on Ween's radar when they wrote Buckingham Green
	5:10pm Phillippe Bastille: @Scott essence. What a shitty day. I hope things are better tomorrow.
	5:10pm slugluv1313: @ scott essence -- oh no -- that so totally sucks -- but hoping that FREEDOM shines through -- sending POSITIVE ENERGY and yes, WFMU certainly does help to heal :)
	5:10pm jess: I've never heard of Scott Walker. so beautiful
	5:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Very Capricorn. These constructions - the achievement.
	5:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& the serious themes...
	5:11pm dale: scott essence. tomorrow will have to be better by design.
	5:11pm zpulpa: wowzaaa that last one was something else.
	5:12pm slugluv1313: apparently Scott Walker's "Drift" was hailed (i believe by All Music???) as "one of the best black metal records you have never heard" (or something like that!) but of course i cannot find the review!!!
	5:12pm dale: i wonder if lulu shed a tear today.
	5:13pm Carmichael: The last of the 3 non-brothers ...
	5:13pm dale: was climate of hunter solo or with the walker brothers?
	5:14pm Carmichael: Solo, Dale.
	5:14pm bleubombersune: In deference to your
	5:17pm Bas NL: Beautiful Bowie track..
	5:18pm scott essence: thank you guys:) seriously. the synchronistic properties of this station are so strong. it's always so incredibly healing. especially on the sad days. Love and light to you all
	5:18pm Carmichael: A nice obit: pitchfork.com...
	5:19pm common: Such a good creepy one
	5:20pm Maria D: Thank you, Scott, for this perfect tribute! Will be listening to it over & over, I'm sure.
	5:20pm dale: i'd buy you a beer or two if i could scott essence....and maybe a bag of rippley chips.
	5:22pm annie: i just love the feel of this song.. each time i hear it i'm hypnotized
	5:26pm thatguy: rip, sad to hear he passed. There's a song "Jackie" from Scott 2 I think? It was my intro to Scott W. Tuned in late, so I'll have to relisten to catch the full tribute.
	5:27pm TDK60: There's also his "Soused" album (2014) with drone band Sunn O))); pretty good too.
	5:28pm fred: Why does it take someone to die to play his/her music?
	🧩 5:29pm tim from champaign: Who is slapping the ham? (serious question but phrased to be funny)
	5:30pm dale: he does a good cover of dylan's 'i threw it all away' on the soundtrack of 'to have and to hold' by blixa bargeld/nick cave/mick harvey. i think they produced him doing it. www.youtube.com...
	5:30pm Scott Williams: @Tim, his name is Alasdair Malloy
	5:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: A valid question fred. But - if I've heard Scott - it was probly on FMU.
	5:30pm Scott Williams: @fred, it doesn't! Scott Walker gets a TON of play around here, he's never gone outta style
	🧩 5:31pm tim from champaign: Thanks. Scott. He's playing it as instructed too.
	5:31pm Fox: This is awesome.
	5:31pm Andy the painter: he still had his SW Ohio accent when he spoke, it seems. kind of remarkable.
	5:32pm TDK60: Scott Walker gets played a lot on WFMU (see artist browser in advanced search on main page.)
	5:35pm Carmichael: I heard the Walker Brothers growing up, had not realized Scott was still performing until I found FMU 25 years ago.
	5:36pm Scott Williams: Andy, if you haven't seen the doc "30 Century Man", do! His accent by the mid-oughts was a mix of Ohio with a lifetime lived in London
	5:37pm dave wuz here: i thought i heard meat punching
	5:37pm Scott Williams: it's pork, dave
	5:38pm dave wuz here: my tin ear
	5:38pm dale: scott couldn't live in a world without x-ray....sigh.
	5:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: CheriPi observed: What LouReed & Metallica should've been...
	5:44pm slugluv1313: ahhhhh i am finding this soooo DISTURBING and soooo SOOTHING!!!
	5:44pm Andy the painter: @Scott. the way he said “that” took me back to cincinnati. his hometown of Hamilton just up the road. thanks!
	🧩 5:47pm tim from champaign: It's surprising Metallica had heard of Lou Reed and disappointing that Lou Reed had heard of Metallica.
	5:47pm dano59: I'm still hedging on later Scott, post-"4". Love the Brothers, though - I want After the Lights Go Down played at my funeral.
	5:49pm TDK60: Thanks for great songs Scott DJ.
	5:49pm Carmichael: Belock played The Old Man's Back Again earlier. Has such a cool spaghetti western sound to it.
	5:50pm Andrea in Jersey City: Ok this song is awesome
	🧩 5:51pm chresti: This sounds like a theater piece or soundtrack
	5:52pm herb.nyc: where has scott walker been all my life? as dave hill would say, some of these songs are "panty droppers".
	5:52pm dale: i always thought scott had a cold when he recorded this - he sounds stuffed up when he says her bathrobe's torn...
	5:52pm zpulpa: @ chresti, I just had the same thought.. I feel like there is so much to see in his music.
	5:52pm paul b: For some reason I always thought (in latter years) that the Talking Heads song "the Overload" was a nod to Joy Division or some similar. But it probably was really a nod to Scott Walker's "the Electrician)
	🧩 5:52pm chresti: @Brando and Clara
	5:53pm dave wuz here: great set
	5:54pm Carmichael: My Ship Is Coming In would sum this whole thing up.
	🧩 5:55pm chresti: @zpulpa- right? So harrowing and dramatic.
	5:55pm dale: thanks scott. both scotts.
	🧩 5:55pm Devin B.: Thanks Scott
	5:56pm Phillippe Bastille: Thanks for the music and education, Scott
	🧩 5:57pm chris: thanks, Scott!
	🧩 5:57pm chresti: Thanks Scott!
	5:57pm Bas NL: Thanks Scott!
	5:58pm Andrea in Jersey City: Thanks!
	5:59pm zpulpa: @chresti, now im trying to think of what to watch tonight and it may have to be '30th century man". RIP. Thank you Scott. peace to you all.
	5:59pm Scott Williams: Thanks everybody! See you next week
	5:59pm Carmichael: Beautiful tribute, Scott.
	6:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TY SW
	6:58pm dano59: Great article in New York mag on the new socialism

	3:11pm zpulpa: like loosing your mind while staying grounded in your heart. amazing!
	3:11pm John from Florham Park: @ohillipe right until the day bing Crosby died
	3:12pm zpulpa: losing* woops
	3:12pm dei xhrist: Y A S. I've put up my "conference call" sign so I can listen in peace via earbuds at work.
	3:14pm Scott Williams: coming back to more Scott later in the show, just wanna start with a he-went-from-there-to-here kinda thing
	3:14pm fred: Good timing though. I guess getting Scott to pay tribute is as good as it gets
	3:18pm Uncle Michael: RIP:NSE
	3:18pm zpulpa: awww I love this song and album... narrated my earliest crush
	3:19pm Bas NL: Hi Scott! Hi friends!
	3:22pm mrmikestandsir: zombies AND love! ahhhh

	3:25pm SeanG: nice!
	3:25pm Dino Sr.: yes!
	3:25pm Fox: Hallooooooo.
	3:25pm thedunkel / el carnicero francés: Need to hear the Hoöf & Mouth version of this sweet Dino Jr. track! (did i pronounce that right?)
	3:25pm zpulpa: Thank you for taking us to this tender hearted place Scott.
	3:26pm Bas NL: Can you tell what's here name @fred?
	3:26pm VincentNifigance: "Choke on 'em!" RIP Joe Pilato.
	3:27pm Arnold Layne: Check out Nick Mason's /Saucer full of Secrets tour! Very sad to see Scott Walker exit this planet.
	3:28pm Bas NL: That's can you tell here what's her name.. ;)
	3:28pm fred: @Bas: Cynthia Loemij. The "ij" was the tricky part
	3:28pm TDK60: Hello music listeners.
	3:30pm Bas NL: Tricky one.. With typical dutch vowel sounds 'oe' and 'ij'...
	3:34pm đ¢ ÞäŦ: that AT&tSS tune was wild.
	3:34pm Bas NL: Das Traktor!
	3:35pm kudubundu: Just read the chat and discovered that Scott Walker has died. RIP Scott. This saddens me.
	3:40pm fred: @Bas: I'd watch her wash dishes. I saw her for most of her career, and she means so much to me
	🧩 3:40pm karlward: I don't listen to enough Minnie Riperton. This is great.
	3:41pm Scott Williams: @karlward, she was really stunning, check out her old band too, The Rotary Connection
	3:41pm Aitch: Scott Walker dead? Break out the weird and wonderful.
	3:43pm Bas NL: @fred Seems like someone you'd have to get to know better?
	3:44pm Hugo (NL): Good evening!
	3:45pm steveo: jessica pavone with 3 others 4/28 in brooklyn bkcm.org... I think she's swell.
	3:45pm TDK60: Ha! "the good Scott Walker"! Right on, Scott.
	3:47pm fred: @Bas: No, her dance is more than enough. I hope she keeps dancing.
	3:47pm βrian: Yeah, the other one has become a gerrymandering consultant.
	🧩 3:50pm Devin B.: Odyssey and Oracle is one of the most re-listenable records ever
	3:51pm Chris from DC: Th'Overlord!
	3:51pm Bas NL: @fred And you to keep enjoying her dance!
	3:51pm Haiku Henry: Hi Scott.
	3:51pm mrdonutsu: Now this is what the kids have been waiting for!
	3:53pm Scott Williams: Sup Henry!
	🧩 3:56pm karlward: Somehow this feels like the opposite of Minnie Riperton. Like, the exact opposite.
	3:56pm Chris from DC: Vocals are awesome, but my throat hurts a bit just listening.
	3:56pm mrdonutsu: Five seconds to walk up that hill - to the free methadone clinic...
	🧩 3:57pm chris: goddamn this is great. hi, Scott and folks.
	🧩 3:57pm tim from champaign: Hello everybody! Is Pharoah Overlord's vocals this gurggly on their other songs?
	🧩 3:58pm tim from champaign: @mrdontsu - Mudhoney's take is my preferred lyrics.
	3:58pm Chris from DC: They're instrumental on everything I've heard.
	4:00pm mrdonutsu: There is pretty much nothing "is" about Pharaoh Overlord or Circle. Each release is quite distinct. They have even essentially "covered" each other (Circle did an album called Pharaoh Overlord, and vice versa).
	4:02pm steveo: that was my sister, Etta, I swear
	4:03pm mrdonutsu: @tim - Yes, which launched the great Seattle - Rugby FuzzSchism of 92. (And then I was riffing on Smitty from Dosed Bernie riffing on Mark from Mudhoney riffing on Spacemen 3).
	4:04pm McGreivey: I have lingering in the back of my brain another great version of I'd Rather Go Blind. Who? Somebody British.
	4:06pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hello Scott! My office mate just left and I can now put on the radio, or the digital facsimile of the radio. Yay!
	4:08pm fred: @Bas: I feel when she's going to move. It's a physical connection I can't explain
	4:08pm cluebucket: so wonderful etta
	4:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: WendyWebio. Hullo.
	4:08pm McGreivey: Chicken Shack/Christine McVie. and Barbara Lynn's is fine well
	4:08pm kudubundu: Chicken Shack. A favourite version of "I'd Rather Go Blind".
	4:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...LeoKotke w/ the Dead...
	4:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: (...as a good thing...)
	4:12pm listener monica: i am ESPECIALLY enjoying your show today, Scott!
	4:13pm kudubundu: I feel like hearing "Who Knows Where The Time Goes" by Sandy Denny whenever someone important in my life dies. Great show Scott. Thanks.
	4:18pm Chris: Nice...
	4:18pm Wendy del Formaggio: Oh crap. I just saw the Scott Walker sad news. Sigh...
	4:22pm Andrea in Jersey City: I like today’s show too
	4:23pm Bas NL: @fred.. Sorry, was in the kitchen.. To my experience Art can be very confusing when it makes much sense.. :)
	4:23pm Scott Williams: thanks Monica & Andrea!
	4:26pm Dan the man: Scott, that quote you always play u der the Nino Rota, is that Fellini? He has the same high squeaky voice in Italian, it sounds like him if he were speaking in English. And he was a notorious liar during interviews. Just curious.
	4:32pm Jeremy: Ah, the great Bread LP destruction fiasco...caused quite a stir online as I recall.
	4:33pm Spankyflop: If all goes well for me job-wise, I'll be upping my pledge.
	4:33pm Jeremy: Sublime show today Scott!
	4:34pm queems: i literally opened a letter from wfmu about the marathon as you spoke about letters about the marathon being mailed out
	4:34pm dale: hello. i'm sure fabio will do a very thorough memorial.
	4:36pm Bas NL: I love that Bowie record.
	🧩 4:37pm chresti: Yes, Larry Grogan, too@dale
	4:37pm listener james from westwood: Absolutely never would've heard Walker without WFMU.
	4:37pm Spankyflop: I first heard about Scott Walker by ordering a cd from the old WFMU Catalog or Curiosities way back when.
	🧩 4:39pm chresti: I;m glad you are featuring the strange, haunting SW
	4:39pm TDK60: I didn't like the Walker Bros much back during the mid-60s, a bit too soft pop for me then. But his later '60s-'70s records had such seriousness in the lyrics. You could see development of a serious musical thinker. Then later he got very out there. And that stuff is good too.
	4:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I will always conflate Scott Walker a little bit w/ Julian Cope - who for me was one of the most important cultural touchstones of the last decades - even tho' I think Cope later disassociated himself...
	4:40pm dale: this is what i posted on fb on news of his demise. such a huge production.
	4:41pm Mike tp: such a small love is beautiful..!!!! N new to me..!!!
	4:41pm Phillippe Bastille: Did Mark Hollis ever attribute SW as an influence? I can hear it
	4:43pm cluebucket: shivers
	4:44pm dale: listen to nick cave's 'watching alice' after this. or any tindersticks. or the divine comedy.
	4:44pm Scott Williams: Chills when this chorus hits
	4:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: He's like a New Wave European filmmaker - in Pop Music. The marriage of voice & mind...
	4:45pm listener james from westwood: Damn straight.
	4:46pm Phillippe Bastille: @dale yes! Nick Cave!
	4:46pm slugluv1313: what dale said @ 4:44 thank-you, Scott, for this lovely, loving tribute
	4:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Have said that while one dreams of just writing a tune - Bowie wrote Stories. Well this is like Directing...
	🧩 4:48pm Ken From Hyde Park: Makes me want to just go to bed, like John & Yoko fifty years ago.
	4:48pm listener monica: I came to know scott walker's work through anton newcombe on myspace. i didn't get it. til now.
	4:49pm owen: @ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 - the same, i kind of missed the boat re: scott walker for years, didnt know where to start with it until hearing that julian cope compilation
	4:50pm dale: i picked up scott 1-4 at other music and it was all i listened to on my ipod / bus commute for about 6 months.
	🧩 4:50pm chresti: The production is what made me sit up and take notice
	🧩 4:52pm chresti: Yeah! that flying saucer in the background
	4:53pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks for this Scott-o-philia! Uncle Michael says he's going to fill his program with Scott Walker too!
	4:53pm common: I’ve heard this 3 times today. Gorgeous. Miss him.
	4:54pm TDK60: Boy Child a fave. Just wondrous.
	4:55pm dale: yes - one of his best.
	4:55pm Phillippe Bastille: Mind blowing that this is 50 years old. Way ahead of its time.
	4:56pm Carmichael: Heya Scott. Just royally bummed about Scott Walker ...
	4:56pm slugluv1313: hi Monica! Scott Walker = intense, genius . . . do not know ALL of his work, but i so love his "darker," "difficult" stuff -- SO worth exploring
	4:57pm Roberto: It's the Scott Walkiams Show!
	4:57pm slugluv1313: @ Phillippe Bastille -- yes, way ahead of his time (as was Barbara Hammer -- different medium but so way ahead of her time too)
	4:59pm dale: imagine if robert goulet had gone down this road. we might be listening to him on fmu.
	4:59pm Fox: Thank you for this. I had only a slight understanding of Scott Walker, and this is wonderful.
	5:00pm McGreivey: What does Scott Walker's voice sound like without reverb?
	🧩 5:00pm chresti: This is so bizarre-girls from the streets
	5:01pm Passaic River Blues: Walker is definitely one of the great WFMU unifiers. Marty alone has probably aired “The Electrician” a dozen times in the last several years.
	5:01pm Phillippe Bastille: Surprised Irwin hasn't worked in a Goulet or two...
	🧩 5:02pm chresti: Haha@dale
	5:02pm Roberto: There's no reason we can't listen to Robert Goulet!
	5:02pm scott essence: Thanks for this. A partner left this morning.. and then I went to work today and got fired. So this couldn't be more perfect. And the absolute freedom I feel inside my chest leaves no room for sadness. I will never forget this music
	5:03pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Didn't Clay play Goulet? Thing is - I love Crooners...
	5:03pm dale: clay played a snippet of something from camelot with goulet. actually glen jones may have played him, he plays some obscure show tunes.
	5:03pm Carmichael: I was watching Django Unchained last night, and I could swear the intro song was Scott Walker. Turns out to be someone else with a similar voice. How could that be?!?
	5:04pm dale: rev rab beat me to it.
	5:07pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - but you have the deets. scott essence - Blessings. It's good to have FMU - isn't it?
	5:07pm Carmichael: Jesus F*ck, scott essence. What a bummer day for you.
	5:07pm dale: but imagine you're a 17 year old out at the ben franklin and you see a scott walker album and you think 'oh yeah, the walker brothers.' you put it on the console and you most likely would take it back and say it has a skip in it. i think it took 30 or 40 years to become cool.
	5:08pm McGreivey: The definition of "crooner" has changed. jazz fan/scholar father used to complain about that.
	5:09pm Greg from ZONE 5: Oh hey, and he shares a birthday with myself, Lee Van Cleef and MF Doom! Knew he sounded like a Capricorn…
	5:09pm andrewb: I wonder if walker was on Ween's radar when they wrote Buckingham Green
	5:10pm Phillippe Bastille: @Scott essence. What a shitty day. I hope things are better tomorrow.
	5:10pm slugluv1313: @ scott essence -- oh no -- that so totally sucks -- but hoping that FREEDOM shines through -- sending POSITIVE ENERGY and yes, WFMU certainly does help to heal :)
	5:10pm jess: I've never heard of Scott Walker. so beautiful
	5:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Very Capricorn. These constructions - the achievement.
	5:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& the serious themes...
	5:11pm dale: scott essence. tomorrow will have to be better by design.
	5:11pm zpulpa: wowzaaa that last one was something else.
	5:12pm slugluv1313: apparently Scott Walker's "Drift" was hailed (i believe by All Music???) as "one of the best black metal records you have never heard" (or something like that!) but of course i cannot find the review!!!
	5:12pm dale: i wonder if lulu shed a tear today.
	5:13pm Carmichael: The last of the 3 non-brothers ...
	5:13pm dale: was climate of hunter solo or with the walker brothers?
	5:14pm Carmichael: Solo, Dale.
	5:14pm bleubombersune: In deference to your
	5:17pm Bas NL: Beautiful Bowie track..
	5:18pm scott essence: thank you guys:) seriously. the synchronistic properties of this station are so strong. it's always so incredibly healing. especially on the sad days. Love and light to you all
	5:18pm Carmichael: A nice obit: pitchfork.com...
	5:19pm common: Such a good creepy one
	5:20pm Maria D: Thank you, Scott, for this perfect tribute! Will be listening to it over & over, I'm sure.
	5:20pm dale: i'd buy you a beer or two if i could scott essence....and maybe a bag of rippley chips.
	5:22pm annie: i just love the feel of this song.. each time i hear it i'm hypnotized
	5:26pm thatguy: rip, sad to hear he passed. There's a song "Jackie" from Scott 2 I think? It was my intro to Scott W. Tuned in late, so I'll have to relisten to catch the full tribute.
	5:27pm TDK60: There's also his "Soused" album (2014) with drone band Sunn O))); pretty good too.
	5:28pm fred: Why does it take someone to die to play his/her music?
	🧩 5:29pm tim from champaign: Who is slapping the ham? (serious question but phrased to be funny)
	5:30pm dale: he does a good cover of dylan's 'i threw it all away' on the soundtrack of 'to have and to hold' by blixa bargeld/nick cave/mick harvey. i think they produced him doing it. www.youtube.com...
	5:30pm Scott Williams: @Tim, his name is Alasdair Malloy
	5:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: A valid question fred. But - if I've heard Scott - it was probly on FMU.
	5:30pm Scott Williams: @fred, it doesn't! Scott Walker gets a TON of play around here, he's never gone outta style
	🧩 5:31pm tim from champaign: Thanks. Scott. He's playing it as instructed too.
	5:31pm Fox: This is awesome.
	5:31pm Andy the painter: he still had his SW Ohio accent when he spoke, it seems. kind of remarkable.
	5:32pm TDK60: Scott Walker gets played a lot on WFMU (see artist browser in advanced search on main page.)
	5:35pm Carmichael: I heard the Walker Brothers growing up, had not realized Scott was still performing until I found FMU 25 years ago.
	5:36pm Scott Williams: Andy, if you haven't seen the doc "30 Century Man", do! His accent by the mid-oughts was a mix of Ohio with a lifetime lived in London
	5:37pm dave wuz here: i thought i heard meat punching
	5:37pm Scott Williams: it's pork, dave
	5:38pm dave wuz here: my tin ear
	5:38pm dale: scott couldn't live in a world without x-ray....sigh.
	5:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: CheriPi observed: What LouReed & Metallica should've been...
	5:44pm slugluv1313: ahhhhh i am finding this soooo DISTURBING and soooo SOOTHING!!!
	5:44pm Andy the painter: @Scott. the way he said “that” took me back to cincinnati. his hometown of Hamilton just up the road. thanks!
	🧩 5:47pm tim from champaign: It's surprising Metallica had heard of Lou Reed and disappointing that Lou Reed had heard of Metallica.
	5:47pm dano59: I'm still hedging on later Scott, post-"4". Love the Brothers, though - I want After the Lights Go Down played at my funeral.
	5:49pm TDK60: Thanks for great songs Scott DJ.
	5:49pm Carmichael: Belock played The Old Man's Back Again earlier. Has such a cool spaghetti western sound to it.
	5:50pm Andrea in Jersey City: Ok this song is awesome
	🧩 5:51pm chresti: This sounds like a theater piece or soundtrack
	5:52pm herb.nyc: where has scott walker been all my life? as dave hill would say, some of these songs are "panty droppers".
	5:52pm dale: i always thought scott had a cold when he recorded this - he sounds stuffed up when he says her bathrobe's torn...
	5:52pm zpulpa: @ chresti, I just had the same thought.. I feel like there is so much to see in his music.
	5:52pm paul b: For some reason I always thought (in latter years) that the Talking Heads song "the Overload" was a nod to Joy Division or some similar. But it probably was really a nod to Scott Walker's "the Electrician)
	🧩 5:52pm chresti: @Brando and Clara
	5:53pm dave wuz here: great set
	5:54pm Carmichael: My Ship Is Coming In would sum this whole thing up.
	🧩 5:55pm chresti: @zpulpa- right? So harrowing and dramatic.
	5:55pm dale: thanks scott. both scotts.
	🧩 5:55pm Devin B.: Thanks Scott
	5:56pm Phillippe Bastille: Thanks for the music and education, Scott
	🧩 5:57pm chris: thanks, Scott!
	🧩 5:57pm chresti: Thanks Scott!
	5:57pm Bas NL: Thanks Scott!
	5:58pm Andrea in Jersey City: Thanks!
	5:59pm zpulpa: @chresti, now im trying to think of what to watch tonight and it may have to be '30th century man". RIP. Thank you Scott. peace to you all.
	5:59pm Scott Williams: Thanks everybody! See you next week
	5:59pm Carmichael: Beautiful tribute, Scott.
	6:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: TY SW
	6:58pm dano59: Great article in New York mag on the new socialism
