	12:11pm Woo: Seriously, this Wolfgang stuff is from 1971?
	12:11pm sphere: Do I know if Scott is really here? I don't.
	12:13pm Phillippe Bastille: Good afternoon, Scott and everyone
	12:13pm John from Florham park: Hey Scott welcome back
	12:14pm JakeGould: Michele is sick because she only has one “L”
	12:16pm northguineahills: everything already preclickied...
	🧩 12:16pm Ken From Hyde Park: Most welcome, Scott. I figure volunteers are easier to wrangle when they're contented. And exposed to a good, steady beat that can easily be danced to.
	12:18pm βrian: Almost time to duck out to the Bouillabaisse cart.
	12:22pm Hubig Pie: My neighborhood has tripe wagons
	12:23pm βrian: Menudo?
	12:25pm fleep: We have an escargot wagon but it takes forever to get here.
	12:26pm Hubig Pie: Trippa alla Fiorentina
	12:27pm full metal monkey: @brian. What happened to the caramel cart ?
	12:27pm βrian: We used to have a haggis cart, but the food was really offal.
	12:28pm Pseu Braun: Yay Shhhcott!
	12:29pm Scott Williams: Ahhhhhh Pseeeeuuuuuu!!!
	12:30pm sphere: @ βrian: i'm surprised you had the guts to say that.
	12:30pm northguineahills: @βrian: I always wanted to see Ricky Martin et al in some offal soup (damn, you already made the same pun... shakes tiny fist
	12:30pm Carmichael: Heya Scott and feelers.
	12:30pm βrian: There's currently a turf war going on between the Crème Caramel cart and the Crème Brûlée cart.
	12:31pm full metal monkey: @brian. They need to join hands
	12:31pm melinda: Howdy Scott and all! Just in time for the offal jokes.
	12:31pm sphere: @ βrian: I bet there are a lot of sick burns there.
	12:32pm JakeGould: “The Associates” sounds like low rent Klaus Nomi.
	12:33pm JakeGould: @βrian: Is that old weird malt shoppe still located on the Capital Square?
	12:34pm βrian: @JG: No, I don't think so.
	12:37pm Hubig Pie: Now I have a hankerin' for haggis. Unfortunately all I have is a pig foot and a bottle of beer
	12:37pm JakeGould: Ahhh, that was on the side near West Doty. Near Monona Terrace. The guy who owned it was a real pasty racist.
	12:38pm βrian: No kimchi in those pasties?
	12:40pm JakeGould: At least Teddywedgers is still there. I miss that stuff.
	12:41pm Pseu Braun: When brainstorming about who could possibly replace Neil Pert on a Rush tour, I forgot to factor in Terry Bozzio
	12:42pm peter kaprelian: love this
	12:42pm JakeGould: Also, the Vietnamese cart that used to be near King Street near the Walgreens.
	12:42pm JakeGould: @Pseu: Has Rush officially announced they’re gone? Without Neil Peart I dunno.
	12:43pm Hubig Pie: Got any Quarterflash queued ?
	12:43pm Pseu Braun: the guy just died. They haven't made any announcements
	12:43pm Pseu Braun: it's on us to project their future, of course
	12:44pm full metal monkey: Missing persons. Alright. Good one
	12:46pm JakeGould: Well, their last tour was in 2015. So hey. I miss the guy.
	🧩 12:47pm Rev. Turnip Druid: HOLY CRAP! .....YEW!
	12:48pm tomrecchion: Hey Scott... thank you for playing Flying Weather... Sounding great here. Cheers
	12:49pm Scott Williams: Every chance I get, Tom Recchion! Glad you caught the spin
	12:49pm Scott Williams: AHOY, GOOD REV!
	12:50pm Brendan: That was my first full Ace Cannon track. My only other exposure to the Ace was television commercial for his greatest hits way back on UHF tv. As I recall, his saxophone sounded horny....or saxy if you like. Come to think of it a saxophone player could play the Star-Spangled Banner and it would sound horned up.
	🧩 12:50pm Handy Haversack: @pseu, now I just picture the scene in Freaks and Geeks where what's his name tries out for a band, picturing himself as Peartianly skilled and with a kit ALMOST big enough ... (Also the bit in Beyond the Gilded Stage where Alex Lifeson and Getty Lee talk about how their love of Neal Peart is much bigger than Rush could ever be, and then I get choked up again.)
	12:58pm Webhamster Henry: Hiya Scott. I'm bouncing between streams today.
	1:00pm JakeGould: YES!!! WHOEVER THIS GUY!!!
	1:01pm nickybones: Get it, Tony!
	1:01pm kev: Hi Scott, miss ya
	1:01pm Hubig Pie: What about the voice of Geddy Lee ?
	🧩 1:04pm chris: there it is. hi, Scott and folks.
	🧩 1:04pm Handy Haversack: That answer your question?
	1:05pm JakeGould: This is next level.
	1:06pm Phillippe Bastille: I feel like this is kind of Rushed
	🧩 1:06pm Handy Haversack: Much better than when I sing "Limelight" at karaoke!
	1:06pm JakeGould: @HubigPie: Haha! That Pavement lyric. Haha!
	1:06pm rsj: could this be from the heavy metal soundtrack?
	1:07pm Brendan: Thanks for playing this.
	1:07pm Hubig Pie: Love that song , Jake
	1:07pm JakeGould: I’ve grown to genuinely hate Pavement’s dry superiority.
	1:08pm JakeGould: Permanent Waves Moving Pictures Signals The trilogy.
	1:10pm ?: can you play a Peart solo please?
	1:11pm Tome: One I've been liking lately Vapor Trails !<>! , remember had a coopy o LeD Zep Prsence in my hand , guy in record story telling my how it sucked so bad ( got it anyway ) , then handed my 2112 ,, saying it was 10X I agreed back then <>
	1:11pm Carmichael: Yes, Mr. Apollo (C. Vermouth)!
	1:14pm JakeGould: Their first LP without Neil Peart (the one with John Rutsey) is basically just a Led Zep wannabe LP.
	1:14pm Two Separate Gorillas: Oh, I love this song.
	1:16pm JakeGould: 2112 is a great 1970s sci-fi thing.
	1:16pm Carmichael: How come I can't clicky star the Tony song??
	1:17pm JakeGould: @Carmichael: It might need an album or track name.
	1:18pm JakeGould: Of all the nonsense that pre-teens can get into “Rush” is a fine thing.
	1:19pm dinatekno: Thank you for playing Rush. They were not just the favorites of young boys. Many of us stoner chicks from the late 70's early 80's STILL listen to them. :-) RIP Neil Peart.
	1:21pm Brendan: Been ODing on Rush after the shock of Neil’s passing. Totem stands out as a wonderful joyful bit of noise on the drums. The toms are so musical , and the way he plays with time on that song is f’ing awesome.
	1:24pm JakeGould: Just empty spaces and beats.
	1:26pm Brendan: Or digitally beat on and beat off. Gigity...
	1:28pm JakeGould: If it weren’t for “Rush” I might have slipped into “Dungeons and Dragons.”
	1:30pm sphere: Rush were a good set of blokes but i'm still not a fan outside of Freewill and Spirit of Radio.
	1:30pm Scott Williams: I've added a song title to "Tony", so you can all go clickylike it now
	🧩 1:31pm Handy Haversack: @JakeGould, as someone who still does both, there are worse fates.
	1:32pm JakeGould: Well, if you could afford it… More power to you… Where I grew up a sign of suburban affluence was D&D. Those books and bags of holding don’t just buy themselves!
	🧩 1:32pm karlward: I glid all the time. Not sure what glid is, but whatever.
	🧩 1:33pm Handy Haversack: Huh. Dice, pencils, and time were the main needs!
	1:33pm sphere: Rush and D&D had a significant overlap in my high school.
	1:34pm Carmichael: Sorry, no Rush fan here. They were OK, but I never really went over the moon about them like a lot of my friends.
	1:35pm ami ad: Hello D.J. Hello all.Great sounds today,had a Kale salad for lunch.Hope D.J. Michelle heals quickly.Rock on....
	1:37pm Pseu Braun: Verlaine/Lloyd!
	1:37pm Malcolm: gong sound great. always meant to give them a listen
	1:38pm Mister Dobalina: I see Tom fairly often but rarely work up the nerve to walk up to talk to him. He seems pretty low key and soft spoken at this point in life.
	1:39pm huomenta: hi all! television never sounds bad, even if my cold is of a sticky nature. pity they probably never will finish their 2007 album.
	1:39pm wendy del formaggio: Television always gets me right in my heart, in a good way.
	1:39pm brainiac: Notes on the Gong CD spelled it as "I Never Glid Before" The back of the LP sleeve spells it "Niver". Thanks for playing it, Scott.
	🧩 1:40pm Handy Haversack: @snoochie, you here? The party's back on!
	1:40pm Divided Alien: This set is it! Gong & Television were great LIVE!
	1:41pm Hubig Pie: Blow, bagpipes, blow !
	1:41pm John from Florham park: Glad I missed rush not my cup of tea
	1:43pm Hubig Pie: Tho, truth be told , these pipes are bellows blown
	1:44pm coelacanth∅: greetings Scott with 1 W and al i hope Michele is wel soon -but it's good to hear you
	1:45pm sphere: That's a problem with being a music fan. You spend a good fraction of your energy being annoyed at certain bands and musicians and then they die, "de mortuis nihil nisi bonum" kicks in and suddenly you can only say nice things about them.
	1:46pm Yes: just walked back in to mukabe. wonderful
	1:47pm Malcolm: this is a wonderful set
	1:48pm JakeGould: @sphere: The thing about “Rush” is they were a band that really got a lot of excess grief from hipsters elitists. Then Neil Peart dies and suddenly everyone admits “Oh, yeah… I like Rush…” To me, everything they did from “Grace Under Pressure” onwards was not that inspiring personally. But the legacy they left before that? Man… That was a catalog.
	1:49pm coelacanth∅: i only get annoyed with artists i once liked. others i just try to spend no energy on. (though i might be annoyed with people who play them in situations that must subject me to it)
	1:52pm Yes: so good
	🧩 1:53pm Handy Haversack: Great set, Scott! (Great Scott -- set!)
	1:55pm coelacanth∅: oh, rush. i've given it many chances, as i've known many people who liked it. some said listen to the first one. i did; it's good, not great. 2112 is good. rest in peace Mr.Peart, a gifted drummer.
	1:58pm sphere: @ JakeGould - I hear ya.
	1:58pm Rory: Neil Peary what a talent! Force of nature on the drums. Never a big fan of Rush, but they had some great songs.
	1:59pm Rory: Peart
	2:00pm Joe McG: Nice to hear some Kevin Coyne, Scott!
	2:01pm Rory: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/jan/21/ozzy-osbourne-reveals-parkinsons-disease-diagnosis Anybody see this yet?
	2:01pm Scott Williams: Hiya, Joe! I agree.
	2:03pm Malcolm: one of my favourite songs is 'jackie and edna' by kevin coyne. but beyond marjorie razorblade i've not checked out any of his other albums. any recommendations?
	2:05pm Brendan: Early Rush overlapped with weed, thai sticks etc. ...saw 2112 or (Farewell To Kings?) tour at Warner Theatre, DC . Hemispheres in Baltimore was great. Fell out of favor in their keyboard phase briefly but started going back to their shows since Test For Echo in 97... there were some stinkers in there but Clockwork Angels was solid as a final effort , I thought. The Garden -as the last song on the last album may not be my favorite song of theirs but ln terms of songwriting it was a nice farewell from Neil. https://www.rush.com/songs/the-garden/
	2:06pm brainiac: The Big Blood vocalist reminds me of Jarboe from Swans. That's a good thing.
	2:08pm sphere: Big Blood is a genuine certifiable wonderful thing in my book.
	2:08pm Davee: Hi Scott!
	🧩 2:08pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, Rush's anni mirabili are still pretty mirabulous. This is a killer way to finish an amazing set. Woo! Big Blood!
	2:08pm kev: I got this new big blood album it is great it reminds me of tarnation some
	🧩 2:09pm Handy Haversack: Still going!
	2:09pm βrian: Rush was never the same after losing amyl nitrite.
	2:12pm Mister Dobalina: Chespirito
	2:12pm woj: seems like 9 times out of 10, when a song on wfmu i don't recognize catches my ear, it is by big blood.
	🧩 2:12pm Rev. Turnip Druid: NO MEETINGS DURING SW! Jeez, the nerve. I have missed everything. Do it all again please.
	2:14pm Scott Williams: Rev, I'll do my darndest to squeeze the last 2:15 into the next :45, but I'm a bit outta practice!
	2:16pm Rory: YMG!
	2:18pm Hubig Pie: Switched-on Issac
	2:19pm Brendan: We can just flip the sonic compressor on its axis and compress the previous songs longitudinally instead of in their dynamic range. But be careful as the contents will be under pressure.
	2:22pm Switchblade Batman: If it's the first hit of 2020, wouldn't that be the first hit of the decade too?
	🧩 2:23pm Rev. Turnip Druid: The departure of Neil Innes inspired the deepest dive into Vivian Stanshall's furthest corners. That's a brain we need back on this earth... alas.
	🧩 2:24pm Handy Haversack: More crème for the crème wars, @βrian.
	2:25pm Rory: This track is a hit!
	2:31pm βrian: Maybe some input from Cream would help, too.
	2:32pm Brendan: I thought the Crème de Hassan was the crème de la crème but this Ice Cream is to scream for.
	🧩 2:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: Check to see if there's an article in Creem Magazine ... if it were still around.
	2:33pm Mark Hurst: Hi Scott! Great show!
	2:34pm Scott Williams: Hello Mark Hurst! And thank you. I missed our Monday table-hang yesterday!
	2:35pm Brendan: FedEx and UPS are merging. To be called FedUp
	2:36pm coelacanth∅: i'm not sure which one i've been more fed-up with; now i wont have to decide
	2:37pm Carmichael: <rimshot>
	2:38pm Mark Hurst: Same here
	2:40pm TomDash: Alright, this is REALLY weird. I was JUST NOW on discogs reading a response to my query to a seller about the Carambolage record. Then I tune in and you're playing them!?!
	2:40pm Brendan: The UPS drivers are striking . Apparently the new uniform requirements of brown underwear were too much .
	2:44pm Scott Williams: That's a GREAT record, Tom Dash - d'ya get a good copy?? FMU library neeeeeedzit!
	2:44pm Passaic River Blues: This set right here is why Scott needs to come back on a full-time basis.
	2:45pm Rory: @PRB - I was about to say the same thing.
	2:46pm Scott Williams: Thank ye, PRB! I do hope to soon
	2:46pm Rory: Killer set Scott. Putting some pep in my step!
	2:46pm Scott Williams: Danke Rory!
	2:47pm TomDash: Hey Scott - I haven't tracked it down yet, was asking a question about a copy overseas...pricy shipping, but one of these days! And great set, right here! Will be digging into the archives asap...
	2:47pm woj: whoa haven't thought about kampec dolores in an embarrassingly long time...
	2:47pm David (in London): Damn Scott, you're killing it this evening.
	2:49pm JakeGould: He’s killing it this afternoon as well.
	2:50pm Mister Dobalina: Legend goes that he might kill it in the mornings as well.
	2:51pm Brendan: Ok . I recommend LogJammers . Its a Jackie Treehorn production.
	🧩 2:52pm Handy Haversack: The story is ludicrous.
	2:54pm Scott Williams: My goodness, time to go already. Thanks for hanging today, everyone! Not sure when my next fill-in is, but I'll be back....
	2:55pm Brendan: Pearl, Pearl, Pearl don’t give your love to Earl...
	2:55pm Passaic River Blues: Thank you, Scott!
	🧩 2:55pm Rev. Turnip Druid: splendid everything forever.
	2:55pm JakeGould: Thank you! And get some lunch, Scott!!!
	2:55pm Brendan: Muchas GrassyAss
	🧩 2:55pm Handy Haversack: Great show, Scott. Went so fast!
	2:56pm Carmichael: Was that Pearl Harbor from The Explosions? SF band from the 70s?
	2:56pm full metal monkey: Great job today Scott filling in for Michele Hope she’s well.
	2:57pm Passaic River Blues: @Carmichael: I was looking into that. It's another, 21st Century Pearl Harbor. www.discogs.com...
	2:57pm Brendan: Your fill in was better than Twinkie filling . Delicious crèmy filling in moist golden cakes.
	2:58pm βrian: For you subterranean dwellers: Continental Subway with David Dichelle wfmu.org...
	2:59pm Carmichael: Thanks PRB.
	2:59pm Brendan: Michele woulda been proud.
	2:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Scott! glad whenever i can catch a bit of your fill-ins

	🧩 12:16pm Ken From Hyde Park: Most welcome, Scott. I figure volunteers are easier to wrangle when they're contented. And exposed to a good, steady beat that can easily be danced to.
	12:18pm βrian: Almost time to duck out to the Bouillabaisse cart.
	12:22pm Hubig Pie: My neighborhood has tripe wagons
	12:23pm βrian: Menudo?
	12:25pm fleep: We have an escargot wagon but it takes forever to get here.
	12:26pm Hubig Pie: Trippa alla Fiorentina
	12:27pm full metal monkey: @brian. What happened to the caramel cart ?
	12:27pm βrian: We used to have a haggis cart, but the food was really offal.
	12:28pm Pseu Braun: Yay Shhhcott!
	12:29pm Scott Williams: Ahhhhhh Pseeeeuuuuuu!!!
	12:30pm sphere: @ βrian: i'm surprised you had the guts to say that.
	12:30pm northguineahills: @βrian: I always wanted to see Ricky Martin et al in some offal soup (damn, you already made the same pun... shakes tiny fist
	12:30pm Carmichael: Heya Scott and feelers.
	12:30pm βrian: There's currently a turf war going on between the Crème Caramel cart and the Crème Brûlée cart.
	12:31pm full metal monkey: @brian. They need to join hands
	12:31pm melinda: Howdy Scott and all! Just in time for the offal jokes.
	12:31pm sphere: @ βrian: I bet there are a lot of sick burns there.
	12:32pm JakeGould: “The Associates” sounds like low rent Klaus Nomi.
	12:33pm JakeGould: @βrian: Is that old weird malt shoppe still located on the Capital Square?
	12:34pm βrian: @JG: No, I don't think so.
	12:37pm Hubig Pie: Now I have a hankerin' for haggis. Unfortunately all I have is a pig foot and a bottle of beer
	12:37pm JakeGould: Ahhh, that was on the side near West Doty. Near Monona Terrace. The guy who owned it was a real pasty racist.
	12:38pm βrian: No kimchi in those pasties?
	12:40pm JakeGould: At least Teddywedgers is still there. I miss that stuff.
	12:41pm Pseu Braun: When brainstorming about who could possibly replace Neil Pert on a Rush tour, I forgot to factor in Terry Bozzio
	12:42pm peter kaprelian: love this
	12:42pm JakeGould: Also, the Vietnamese cart that used to be near King Street near the Walgreens.
	12:42pm JakeGould: @Pseu: Has Rush officially announced they’re gone? Without Neil Peart I dunno.
	12:43pm Hubig Pie: Got any Quarterflash queued ?
	12:43pm Pseu Braun: the guy just died. They haven't made any announcements
	12:43pm Pseu Braun: it's on us to project their future, of course
	12:44pm full metal monkey: Missing persons. Alright. Good one
	12:46pm JakeGould: Well, their last tour was in 2015. So hey. I miss the guy.
	🧩 12:47pm Rev. Turnip Druid: HOLY CRAP! .....YEW!
	12:48pm tomrecchion: Hey Scott... thank you for playing Flying Weather... Sounding great here. Cheers
	12:49pm Scott Williams: Every chance I get, Tom Recchion! Glad you caught the spin
	12:49pm Scott Williams: AHOY, GOOD REV!
	12:50pm Brendan: That was my first full Ace Cannon track. My only other exposure to the Ace was television commercial for his greatest hits way back on UHF tv. As I recall, his saxophone sounded horny....or saxy if you like. Come to think of it a saxophone player could play the Star-Spangled Banner and it would sound horned up.
	🧩 12:50pm Handy Haversack: @pseu, now I just picture the scene in Freaks and Geeks where what's his name tries out for a band, picturing himself as Peartianly skilled and with a kit ALMOST big enough ... (Also the bit in Beyond the Gilded Stage where Alex Lifeson and Getty Lee talk about how their love of Neal Peart is much bigger than Rush could ever be, and then I get choked up again.)
	12:58pm Webhamster Henry: Hiya Scott. I'm bouncing between streams today.
	1:00pm JakeGould: YES!!! WHOEVER THIS GUY!!!
	1:01pm nickybones: Get it, Tony!
	1:01pm kev: Hi Scott, miss ya
	1:01pm Hubig Pie: What about the voice of Geddy Lee ?
	🧩 1:04pm chris: there it is. hi, Scott and folks.
	🧩 1:04pm Handy Haversack: That answer your question?
	1:05pm JakeGould: This is next level.
	1:06pm Phillippe Bastille: I feel like this is kind of Rushed
	🧩 1:06pm Handy Haversack: Much better than when I sing "Limelight" at karaoke!
	1:06pm JakeGould: @HubigPie: Haha! That Pavement lyric. Haha!
	1:06pm rsj: could this be from the heavy metal soundtrack?
	1:07pm Brendan: Thanks for playing this.
	1:07pm Hubig Pie: Love that song , Jake
	1:07pm JakeGould: I’ve grown to genuinely hate Pavement’s dry superiority.
	1:08pm JakeGould: Permanent Waves Moving Pictures Signals The trilogy.
	1:10pm ?: can you play a Peart solo please?
	1:11pm Tome: One I've been liking lately Vapor Trails !<>! , remember had a coopy o LeD Zep Prsence in my hand , guy in record story telling my how it sucked so bad ( got it anyway ) , then handed my 2112 ,, saying it was 10X I agreed back then <>
	1:11pm Carmichael: Yes, Mr. Apollo (C. Vermouth)!
	1:14pm JakeGould: Their first LP without Neil Peart (the one with John Rutsey) is basically just a Led Zep wannabe LP.
	1:14pm Two Separate Gorillas: Oh, I love this song.
	1:16pm JakeGould: 2112 is a great 1970s sci-fi thing.
	1:16pm Carmichael: How come I can't clicky star the Tony song??
	1:17pm JakeGould: @Carmichael: It might need an album or track name.
	1:18pm JakeGould: Of all the nonsense that pre-teens can get into “Rush” is a fine thing.
	1:19pm dinatekno: Thank you for playing Rush. They were not just the favorites of young boys. Many of us stoner chicks from the late 70's early 80's STILL listen to them. :-) RIP Neil Peart.
	1:21pm Brendan: Been ODing on Rush after the shock of Neil’s passing. Totem stands out as a wonderful joyful bit of noise on the drums. The toms are so musical , and the way he plays with time on that song is f’ing awesome.
	1:24pm JakeGould: Just empty spaces and beats.
	1:26pm Brendan: Or digitally beat on and beat off. Gigity...
	1:28pm JakeGould: If it weren’t for “Rush” I might have slipped into “Dungeons and Dragons.”
	1:30pm sphere: Rush were a good set of blokes but i'm still not a fan outside of Freewill and Spirit of Radio.
	1:30pm Scott Williams: I've added a song title to "Tony", so you can all go clickylike it now
	🧩 1:31pm Handy Haversack: @JakeGould, as someone who still does both, there are worse fates.
	1:32pm JakeGould: Well, if you could afford it… More power to you… Where I grew up a sign of suburban affluence was D&D. Those books and bags of holding don’t just buy themselves!
	🧩 1:32pm karlward: I glid all the time. Not sure what glid is, but whatever.
	🧩 1:33pm Handy Haversack: Huh. Dice, pencils, and time were the main needs!
	1:33pm sphere: Rush and D&D had a significant overlap in my high school.
	1:34pm Carmichael: Sorry, no Rush fan here. They were OK, but I never really went over the moon about them like a lot of my friends.
	1:35pm ami ad: Hello D.J. Hello all.Great sounds today,had a Kale salad for lunch.Hope D.J. Michelle heals quickly.Rock on....
	1:37pm Pseu Braun: Verlaine/Lloyd!
	1:37pm Malcolm: gong sound great. always meant to give them a listen
	1:38pm Mister Dobalina: I see Tom fairly often but rarely work up the nerve to walk up to talk to him. He seems pretty low key and soft spoken at this point in life.
	1:39pm huomenta: hi all! television never sounds bad, even if my cold is of a sticky nature. pity they probably never will finish their 2007 album.
	1:39pm wendy del formaggio: Television always gets me right in my heart, in a good way.
	1:39pm brainiac: Notes on the Gong CD spelled it as "I Never Glid Before" The back of the LP sleeve spells it "Niver". Thanks for playing it, Scott.
	🧩 1:40pm Handy Haversack: @snoochie, you here? The party's back on!
	1:40pm Divided Alien: This set is it! Gong & Television were great LIVE!
	1:41pm Hubig Pie: Blow, bagpipes, blow !
	1:41pm John from Florham park: Glad I missed rush not my cup of tea
	1:43pm Hubig Pie: Tho, truth be told , these pipes are bellows blown
	1:44pm coelacanth∅: greetings Scott with 1 W and al i hope Michele is wel soon -but it's good to hear you
	1:45pm sphere: That's a problem with being a music fan. You spend a good fraction of your energy being annoyed at certain bands and musicians and then they die, "de mortuis nihil nisi bonum" kicks in and suddenly you can only say nice things about them.
	1:46pm Yes: just walked back in to mukabe. wonderful
	1:47pm Malcolm: this is a wonderful set
	1:48pm JakeGould: @sphere: The thing about “Rush” is they were a band that really got a lot of excess grief from hipsters elitists. Then Neil Peart dies and suddenly everyone admits “Oh, yeah… I like Rush…” To me, everything they did from “Grace Under Pressure” onwards was not that inspiring personally. But the legacy they left before that? Man… That was a catalog.
	1:49pm coelacanth∅: i only get annoyed with artists i once liked. others i just try to spend no energy on. (though i might be annoyed with people who play them in situations that must subject me to it)
	1:52pm Yes: so good
	🧩 1:53pm Handy Haversack: Great set, Scott! (Great Scott -- set!)
	1:55pm coelacanth∅: oh, rush. i've given it many chances, as i've known many people who liked it. some said listen to the first one. i did; it's good, not great. 2112 is good. rest in peace Mr.Peart, a gifted drummer.
	1:58pm sphere: @ JakeGould - I hear ya.
	1:58pm Rory: Neil Peary what a talent! Force of nature on the drums. Never a big fan of Rush, but they had some great songs.
	1:59pm Rory: Peart
	2:00pm Joe McG: Nice to hear some Kevin Coyne, Scott!
	2:01pm Rory: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/jan/21/ozzy-osbourne-reveals-parkinsons-disease-diagnosis Anybody see this yet?
	2:01pm Scott Williams: Hiya, Joe! I agree.
	2:03pm Malcolm: one of my favourite songs is 'jackie and edna' by kevin coyne. but beyond marjorie razorblade i've not checked out any of his other albums. any recommendations?
	2:05pm Brendan: Early Rush overlapped with weed, thai sticks etc. ...saw 2112 or (Farewell To Kings?) tour at Warner Theatre, DC . Hemispheres in Baltimore was great. Fell out of favor in their keyboard phase briefly but started going back to their shows since Test For Echo in 97... there were some stinkers in there but Clockwork Angels was solid as a final effort , I thought. The Garden -as the last song on the last album may not be my favorite song of theirs but ln terms of songwriting it was a nice farewell from Neil. https://www.rush.com/songs/the-garden/
	2:06pm brainiac: The Big Blood vocalist reminds me of Jarboe from Swans. That's a good thing.
	2:08pm sphere: Big Blood is a genuine certifiable wonderful thing in my book.
	2:08pm Davee: Hi Scott!
	🧩 2:08pm Handy Haversack: Yeah, Rush's anni mirabili are still pretty mirabulous. This is a killer way to finish an amazing set. Woo! Big Blood!
	2:08pm kev: I got this new big blood album it is great it reminds me of tarnation some
	🧩 2:09pm Handy Haversack: Still going!
	2:09pm βrian: Rush was never the same after losing amyl nitrite.
	2:12pm Mister Dobalina: Chespirito
	2:12pm woj: seems like 9 times out of 10, when a song on wfmu i don't recognize catches my ear, it is by big blood.
	🧩 2:12pm Rev. Turnip Druid: NO MEETINGS DURING SW! Jeez, the nerve. I have missed everything. Do it all again please.
	2:14pm Scott Williams: Rev, I'll do my darndest to squeeze the last 2:15 into the next :45, but I'm a bit outta practice!
	2:16pm Rory: YMG!
	2:18pm Hubig Pie: Switched-on Issac
	2:19pm Brendan: We can just flip the sonic compressor on its axis and compress the previous songs longitudinally instead of in their dynamic range. But be careful as the contents will be under pressure.
	2:22pm Switchblade Batman: If it's the first hit of 2020, wouldn't that be the first hit of the decade too?
	🧩 2:23pm Rev. Turnip Druid: The departure of Neil Innes inspired the deepest dive into Vivian Stanshall's furthest corners. That's a brain we need back on this earth... alas.
	🧩 2:24pm Handy Haversack: More crème for the crème wars, @βrian.
	2:25pm Rory: This track is a hit!
	2:31pm βrian: Maybe some input from Cream would help, too.
	2:32pm Brendan: I thought the Crème de Hassan was the crème de la crème but this Ice Cream is to scream for.
	🧩 2:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: Check to see if there's an article in Creem Magazine ... if it were still around.
	2:33pm Mark Hurst: Hi Scott! Great show!
	2:34pm Scott Williams: Hello Mark Hurst! And thank you. I missed our Monday table-hang yesterday!
	2:35pm Brendan: FedEx and UPS are merging. To be called FedUp
	2:36pm coelacanth∅: i'm not sure which one i've been more fed-up with; now i wont have to decide
	2:37pm Carmichael: <rimshot>
	2:38pm Mark Hurst: Same here
	2:40pm TomDash: Alright, this is REALLY weird. I was JUST NOW on discogs reading a response to my query to a seller about the Carambolage record. Then I tune in and you're playing them!?!
	2:40pm Brendan: The UPS drivers are striking . Apparently the new uniform requirements of brown underwear were too much .
	2:44pm Scott Williams: That's a GREAT record, Tom Dash - d'ya get a good copy?? FMU library neeeeeedzit!
	2:44pm Passaic River Blues: This set right here is why Scott needs to come back on a full-time basis.
	2:45pm Rory: @PRB - I was about to say the same thing.
	2:46pm Scott Williams: Thank ye, PRB! I do hope to soon
	2:46pm Rory: Killer set Scott. Putting some pep in my step!
	2:46pm Scott Williams: Danke Rory!
	2:47pm TomDash: Hey Scott - I haven't tracked it down yet, was asking a question about a copy overseas...pricy shipping, but one of these days! And great set, right here! Will be digging into the archives asap...
	2:47pm woj: whoa haven't thought about kampec dolores in an embarrassingly long time...
	2:47pm David (in London): Damn Scott, you're killing it this evening.
	2:49pm JakeGould: He’s killing it this afternoon as well.
	2:50pm Mister Dobalina: Legend goes that he might kill it in the mornings as well.
	2:51pm Brendan: Ok . I recommend LogJammers . Its a Jackie Treehorn production.
	🧩 2:52pm Handy Haversack: The story is ludicrous.
	2:54pm Scott Williams: My goodness, time to go already. Thanks for hanging today, everyone! Not sure when my next fill-in is, but I'll be back....
	2:55pm Brendan: Pearl, Pearl, Pearl don’t give your love to Earl...
	2:55pm Passaic River Blues: Thank you, Scott!
	🧩 2:55pm Rev. Turnip Druid: splendid everything forever.
	2:55pm JakeGould: Thank you! And get some lunch, Scott!!!
	2:55pm Brendan: Muchas GrassyAss
	🧩 2:55pm Handy Haversack: Great show, Scott. Went so fast!
	2:56pm Carmichael: Was that Pearl Harbor from The Explosions? SF band from the 70s?
	2:56pm full metal monkey: Great job today Scott filling in for Michele Hope she’s well.
	2:57pm Passaic River Blues: @Carmichael: I was looking into that. It's another, 21st Century Pearl Harbor. www.discogs.com...
	2:57pm Brendan: Your fill in was better than Twinkie filling . Delicious crèmy filling in moist golden cakes.
	2:58pm βrian: For you subterranean dwellers: Continental Subway with David Dichelle wfmu.org...
	2:59pm Carmichael: Thanks PRB.
	2:59pm Brendan: Michele woulda been proud.
	2:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Scott! glad whenever i can catch a bit of your fill-ins
