	3:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes tim.
	3:34pm Cheri Pi: YES TfC of course he was, a doctor too on General hospital.
	🧩 3:34pm tim from champaign: A nod to Les Denudes, this Dirty Beaches?
	3:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...he's done everthing for you - you've done nothing for him.
	3:35pm steve: wat. is there some kinda sampling going on here? that is an impressive clone of LRD fuzz noise

	🧩 3:37pm tim from champaign: @fleep - both.
	3:37pm Scott Williams: yup, he is sampling LRD in a conscious attempt to locate the I Will Follow Him - everybody wins!
	3:37pm Cheri Pi: Yes Fleep
	3:37pm cobradan: Nice.
	3:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but he is apparently leading somewhere Exploding Plastic & Inevitable...
	3:38pm Cheri Pi: Whoa, they get us.
	3:38pm steve: everybody wins!
	3:39pm efd: oh boy, I am VERY excited about the new mic boom!
	3:40pm Droll: EFD, Your show isn't until Wednesday, too bad It'll probably be broken by then. Who do you think will break it (first)?
	3:41pm DCE: I wasn't too excited about the sonic booms I was hearing at the airport at 3am on Sunday.
	3:41pm Cecile: Here's a awesome clip that showed up on Zoot's YouTube page: www.youtube.com...
	3:42pm Cecile: And Beeb Birtles from LRB.
	3:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...back to werk - after 5-sies...
	3:43pm Cecile: Interesting fact: Australian TV didn't start broadcasting in color until 1975.
	3:45pm Cheri Pi: I'll need BT to confirm that Cecile, I wonder who he's partying with today?
	🧩 3:47pm Rev. Turnip Druid: violently approved, SW.
	3:47pm from Quebec: albero rovesciato = upturned tree. Your last stab at the pronunciation was, well, not horrible
	3:47pm rangerjimhaku: Outstanding.
	3:48pm common: this is great, scott!
	3:48pm Rich in Washington: This is brilliant!
	🧩 3:48pm tim from champaign: Total robot dance club banger, Scott. Nice work!
	3:48pm KOTJ: @ Scott: Did you play the Black Velvet Flag version?
	3:50pm Scott Williams: aw heck, thanks buds! I got a new toy, you might notice
	3:50pm Ashok: Thanks for This Heat--blistering--and your Summer of Institutionalization is a gift to us all. You have taken this song to a special, soulless place that gives Derrick May gas. Keep it up!
	3:56pm steve: that was the best version of Institutionalized yet!
	4:01pm Chris from DC: Saw Richard Youngs last week. Great set. Looking forward to that tonight.
	4:05pm Carmichael: Hiya Scottie and FMU denizens. I think I drank 8 or 10 Dirty Beaches last night.
	4:05pm Cecile: Lilah, you did awesome.
	4:11pm Sandy in Houston: Hello Scott!
	4:11pm Scott Williams: Hey Sandy!
	4:13pm Sandy in Houston: I'm employed again so I'm listening at work again!
	4:13pm Cheri Pi: this is devestating, you're right Scott.
	4:14pm Scott Williams: gets better, CP! Downerville, please; 1 way
	4:15pm northguineahills: darn, missed institutionalized!
	4:18pm andymorphic: this is just great....familiar yet new
	4:19pm Cecile: FRANKIE TEARDROP
	4:21pm Scott Williams: yeah, well - as I said last time they played here: "obviously, you start with Suicide". but it is just a start
	4:22pm Chris from DC: Wow yeah, impressive.
	4:22pm adam_nspy: Totally blown away
	🧩 4:23pm tim from champaign: I was thinking the same thing, Cecile. I'm DJing a friend's wedding next month and he really wants me to play Frankie Teardrop. I think I might just play the first few bars then mix in a Donna Summer track.
	4:23pm adam_nspy: Implog shiz!!!!
	4:23pm Cheri Pi: suicidally impressed!
	🧩 4:23pm tim from champaign: This is a really good set. Thanks Scott.
	4:24pm Cecile: Oh, sure it is Scott. I mean, that's a compliment from me that it evokes such a great song in my head.
	4:26pm Scott Williams: Totally, Cecile! Whoah, Tim - are you serious?? I mean, your friend...? haha, he really wants that???
	4:26pm Cecile: Tim, you have to do the tough love thing. No Frankie Teardrop at a wedding.
	4:27pm Cecile: It's an episode of Snapped waiting to happen.
	4:28pm steve: wow tim, thats pretty demented. unless every person at the wedding has a career in the arts, in which case its slightly less so.
	🧩 4:29pm tim from champaign: Scott - yes! I've tried to talk him out of it. I think I'm going to bring the Suicide record just for show and hopefully as the night progresses he'll be too busy to notice it didn't get played. Nothing pisses off the "squares" faster than Suicide.
	4:30pm Cecile: I'm not square, or at least I hope I'm not, and that is a way dodgy musical choice.
	4:31pm Cheri Pi: Tim, save the Teardrop for the last hour, when all the guests are off their knockers drunk-they won't know what hit em.
	4:31pm Scott Williams: oh, you could play "Johnny" or "Cheri", maybe even "Girl" -- but, I mean.... Frankie slaughters his wife & kid!! goes way beyond scaring the squares
	4:32pm Cecile: Save it for when you have to clear our the hall.
	4:32pm Cecile: Exactly, Scott!
	🧩 4:32pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ah, the music of our lives...
	4:32pm Cecile: How about Dream Baby Dream?
	4:33pm steve: Keep Your Dreams, Dream Baby Dream...
	4:34pm Lewis: Franks's Wild Years?
	4:34pm Cheri Pi: Exactly, a floor cleearer so the caterers and everyone can get outta there at a decent hour.
	4:36pm Scott Williams: OK Tim, just b/c you asked so nicely - next set, we're gonna hear Yura Yura Teikoku's cover of Frankie Teardrop - any of y'all know it?? real good stuff.
	4:36pm Cecile: hell, I'd just blast Halber Mensch at hellish volumens and be done with it.
	🧩 4:36pm tim from champaign: I know! It's a terrible story to play at a wedding. There's no way I would play the whole thing. Like I said, I would have snuck in a few bars then switched out real quick. My friend mainly wants 70s funk, r'n'b and new wave so it's not going to be a total bloodbath. I may have to take Cecile's "tough love" approach.
	🧩 4:38pm tim from champaign: P.S. - Ryan, if you're reading this, sorry dude, no Frankie Teardrop.
	4:39pm Lulu: this is a very nice song
	4:39pm Chris from DC: Love those mellotrons.
	4:39pm Carmichael: You need some new friends, Tim.
	🧩 4:39pm Rev. Turnip Druid: How about Motörhead's "the chase is better than the catch" .... any better for a wedding event? no?
	🧩 4:40pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Give me all mellotrons. Thanks in advance, RTD.
	4:41pm Cecile: Love me like a reptile is a heartwarming song.
	4:41pm Carmichael: Wikipedia quotes FMU: "The track has become a recurring point of discussion on The Best Show on WFMU with Tom Scharpling where host Tom tells callers to try and listen to the entire song on headphones in complete darkness. This is known as the "Frankie Teardrop Challenge".
	4:42pm Lulu: idk what a mellotron is.. :(
	4:44pm Lewis: @Carmichael - I read that and it just seemed normal... yikes
	4:45pm George of Troy: So is he playing an actual Mellotron, or some sort of emulation? Sounds lo-fi enough to be the real deal.
	4:45pm Cheri Pi: I'm having second thoughts about remaining unchained, I'd get married in order to have Tim dj and play FT for my unsuspecting groom and family with ghostly lighting design which I'd blow my budget on.
	4:46pm Whosondephone: AMAZING!!!
	4:47pm Cecile: oh, you lie.
	4:47pm Chris from DC: GoT, I was wondering too. Lulu it's that keyboard on "Love Is The Devil" I think it was that sounds a bit like strings.
	4:47pm Cecile: Whose, ITA. They should put this out as a rekkid.
	4:47pm Scott Williams: it's a Mellotron emulation - it does a really good job
	4:49pm DCE: gotta get gotta get!
	🧩 4:49pm Rev. Turnip Druid: last time i went a-hunting, couldn't find a Mellotron emu for iPhone that had the choir sound, which is crucial.
	4:49pm Cheri Pi: Oh snap!
	🧩 4:50pm tim from champaign: This is dang good listening.
	4:50pm steve: Lulu - very old synth which runs a tape head over strips of pitched tape recordings to make sound when you press a key
	4:51pm Scott Williams: RTD, this one's a rack piece of gear w/ midi interface
	4:51pm Dominick: Just great!
	4:51pm steve: actually, maybe it technically isnt a synth, but a synth precursor
	4:51pm DCE: RTD can't have interface...he'll have innaface instead
	🧩 4:52pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Yeh, Scott, kinda figured. But sounds great. This whole thing has been mighty.
	4:52pm Carmichael: Mellotrons are notorious for going out of tune and staying there. The slightest change in weather, transportation, or evil vibes will cause it to mock your musical abilities.
	4:53pm Cheri Pi: Don't leave your mellotrons laying around in undecured college soundlabs either, they will be taken by this smug thief, under the cover of night.
	4:54pm Cheri Pi: Smug thieving bastard: fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net...
	🧩 4:54pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Aye, Carm. They don't travel well. Saw a friend's band a while back with a guest who had two vintage models, what a joy...
	4:54pm Scott Williams: yeah, actually the Mellotron was really a sampler - it was all pre-recorded tape loops dragged over tape heads, each loop triggered by a mechanical key. most famously heard on a ton of prog and also Stairway to Heaven flutes and Strawberry Fields intro
	4:55pm Cecile: hahahahaha cheri. he looks like he's in a Enuff Z'nuff cover band.
	4:56pm Cecile: "2 Much is never Z'nuff"
	4:56pm Scott Williams: haha, oooh la drude!
	4:57pm Cheri Pi: LOL C$!!! Look how he puts his boots up on it, Julian Cope is banned for life now at Bowling Green Tech.
	4:57pm steve: this extremely talented and enterprising fellow made his own from walkmen mysterycircuits.com...
	4:57pm common: enuff z'nuff! Hee!
	4:57pm George of Troy: My Waldorf Q has a couple of Mellotron factory patches that are fairly respectable, but DB's sound really great!
	4:58pm Cecile: hahahaha, cheri.
	4:58pm Scott Williams: Melloman is amazing!
	4:58pm Droll: It's the Mellotron's magical melancholy of the Lawrence Welk Orchestra. The Chamberlain (cheap American precursor to the Mellotron) couldn't touch it. I'll bet Enuf Z'nuff used Mellotron on at least 3 songs!
	4:59pm Cheri Pi: Enuff Z'nuff video interlude youtu.be...
	5:00pm steve: i tried to make the poor mans mellotron earlier this year with a single walkman playing an endless loop tape tuned to middle c, and speed it up and down to match notes with MIDI notes in, but i gave up. might pick it back up eventually
	5:02pm Cheri Pi: They do Droll, look how they exploit scantilly clad coeds, draping them shamefully across the keys.
	5:02pm Cecile: hahahaha, great song in a dubious package.
	5:04pm Cheri Pi: Douse the lights!
	5:05pm Chris from DC: This is awesome.
	5:06pm Cecile: hahahahahaha, FRANHKIE
	5:07pm Cecile: repeat: do not let your friend play this at his wedding.
	🧩 5:08pm tim from champaign: Whoa, sounds even more sinister in this language.
	5:08pm Carmichael: Headphones and darkness. That's all Tom S. asks.
	🧩 5:10pm tim from champaign: It's settled. NO Frankie Teardrop at the wedding. It's better to save it for drunken karaoke night.
	5:10pm Carmichael: Or wait until the divorce.
	5:12pm Lulu: if there's like, an animal sacrifice at the wedding, then you could play it then
	5:14pm Carmichael: Good point, Lulu.
	5:14pm Mike East: a friend was just telling me about a wedding he went to last weekend where the music was a girl playing electric violin, looping it, then adding in some weird vocals into the loops. Also, there was no speaking during the ceremony itself, just symbolic gestures.
	5:15pm northguineahills: I dj'ed Matmos's remix of Full on the Night by request at a wedding during the toast..... full on screeching noise for minutes.... it was awesome! (the groom requested it, most of the peeps weren't into it).
	5:22pm Cecile: Mike, I'm visualizing pantomimed smooches and pelvic thrusting.
	5:22pm Cecile: it's kind of disturbing. Maybe the couple aren't as disturbed as I am.
	5:25pm glenn: however, country death song is PERFECTLY acceptable at a wedding.
	5:25pm Cecile: YES!!!!!!!!!
	5:25pm glenn: clay pigeon, kids.
	5:26pm Cecile: Best $1 I ever spent for a CD.
	5:26pm Scott Williams: I'm waiting for Lila's irony to develop to the point that I can sing Country Death Song with the Hoof & Mouth; she's getting close
	5:27pm robyn: love it
	5:28pm glenn: speaking of clowns. news.nationalpost.com...
	5:28pm Mike East: @Cecile - no I think it was more pouring wine into glasses, and tying their hands together with rope. The pelvic thrusting may have come later though.
	5:29pm steve: Dirty Clown is a modern classic
	5:29pm glenn: jeeez. i bet i haven't been to a wedding in fifteen years. lots of funerals, though.
	5:29pm Fredericks: That clown tune is a skin crawling masterpiece.
	5:29pm Cecile: hahahahahaha, Mike.
	5:30pm glenn: oh, and i see ray dolby died a couple of days back.
	5:32pm Carmichael: Is that the same Kacy Ross from Deloris Telescope?
	5:33pm Fredericks: Yes, Carm.
	5:36pm glenn: oh. i guess i should have clicked on scott's link before posting the same thing.
	5:39pm bloopy: You're in the zone for the last set. in the mother zone
	5:39pm dale: if you kiddies don't own 'that dirty clown' you need to run out to your record jobber immediately. or probably buy it on itunes or ask clay where you can get it. frikken' masterpiece!
	5:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I doubledawg LOVE that smugthief...
	🧩 5:42pm Ike: Groovy.
	5:46pm RE "That Dirty Clown": http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/17589
	5:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I'm a ♏Scorpio & I don't like Clowns. ...I can see thru them - I know they're Creepy...Sad drunks & serial killers, the lot of 'em...
	🧩 5:50pm tim from champaign: Thanks for the great Dirty Beaches set and all around dandy of a show, Scott. Adios amigos and amigas.
	5:52pm Cecile: black cow!
	5:52pm Cecile: they quoted from Black cow there.
	5:53pm Scott Williams: Cecile, did you catch the Black Cow sample at the very top of the track?
	5:55pm Cecile: I did!
	5:55pm Cecile: I have giant chunks of that whole album tattooed on my brain.
	5:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I'm a Frankie & I'm burning in hell.
	5:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...still single, & waiting for WFMU-Anon to be established...
	5:58pm glenn: that must have hurt, cecile.
	5:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...all they wanted was 'Frankie Teardrop' - & tim wouldn't give it to 'em...
	5:59pm Cecile: it was painful, but it beat listening to Styx.
	6:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...it prob. wouldn't hurt to have your brain tatooed (once your skull was open) - but you would probably jerk & spew nonsense & have things flash thru your mind as different bits of Brain were stimulated (???)...
	1:32pm Christine: Lydia Lunch & Retrovirus have been doing Frankie pretty proud lately....we're all Frankies http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YALEmewwhss&feature=share
	1:35pm Christine: sorry...don't know why that didn't work guess you'll have to cut/paste

	3:21pm fleep: Gives doing laundry an air of danger and mystery.
	3:22pm Rich in Washington: I sometimes forget what an awesome band this was.
	3:23pm bloopy: hey scott ^_^
	🧩 3:23pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Laundry is a ritual of many secrets. Be careful if you choose to dabble in those powers.
	3:25pm Mutant: I have been listening to this MOG a lot lately. Thanks to WFMU
	3:26pm Cheri Pi: I'll see you one Clicky Star, and raise you another.
	3:27pm common: i'll see that star.
	3:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...a concise history of the ordure of wah-wah pedals...
	🧩 3:28pm tim from champaign: Does the scent of Dog Cologne cover up the mange?
	3:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...it helps in job interviews...if he wore enuff to leave a puddle - he prob. woulda left a puddle anyroad...
	3:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...& Ricky's justa WorkingClassDawgHero anyhows...
	3:30pm PKNY: This Zoot is pretty facemelting!
	3:31pm Cheri Pi: don't remind me TfC, Canine Pi, the other CP needs her quarterly bath like, nowsies.
	3:32pm Cheri Pi: I love Rick Springfield but hate the Beatles! I'm so torn between heart or hate throb.
	3:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...certainly knocks Vanilla Fudge's inna cocked bucket...
	3:33pm Cheri Pi: Where's the hate star??
	🧩 3:33pm tim from champaign: Serious question now, was Rick Springfield also a soap star?
	3:33pm Cecile: Did these guys evolve into the Zoot Money Roll Band?
	3:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yes tim.
	3:34pm Cheri Pi: YES TfC of course he was, a doctor too on General hospital.
	🧩 3:34pm tim from champaign: A nod to Les Denudes, this Dirty Beaches?
	3:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...he's done everthing for you - you've done nothing for him.
	3:35pm steve: wat. is there some kinda sampling going on here? that is an impressive clone of LRD fuzz noise
	3:35pm fleep: Do I keep hearing "I Will Follow Him" in the bass line? Or is it the meds?
	3:36pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...we will follw that - wherever it may lead fleep...LouReed was a doowop songshopper, afterall...
	3:36pm Droll: fleep, My meds are making me hear it, too.
	3:37pm Cheri Pi: Dr. Noah Drake to be exact Tim. he looks even better with plastic surgery IMO. general-hospital.wikia.com...
	🧩 3:37pm tim from champaign: @fleep - both.
	3:37pm Scott Williams: yup, he is sampling LRD in a conscious attempt to locate the I Will Follow Him - everybody wins!
	3:37pm Cheri Pi: Yes Fleep
	3:37pm cobradan: Nice.
	3:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but he is apparently leading somewhere Exploding Plastic & Inevitable...
	3:38pm Cheri Pi: Whoa, they get us.
	3:38pm steve: everybody wins!
	3:39pm efd: oh boy, I am VERY excited about the new mic boom!
	3:40pm Droll: EFD, Your show isn't until Wednesday, too bad It'll probably be broken by then. Who do you think will break it (first)?
	3:41pm DCE: I wasn't too excited about the sonic booms I was hearing at the airport at 3am on Sunday.
	3:41pm Cecile: Here's a awesome clip that showed up on Zoot's YouTube page: www.youtube.com...
	3:42pm Cecile: And Beeb Birtles from LRB.
	3:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...back to werk - after 5-sies...
	3:43pm Cecile: Interesting fact: Australian TV didn't start broadcasting in color until 1975.
	3:45pm Cheri Pi: I'll need BT to confirm that Cecile, I wonder who he's partying with today?
	🧩 3:47pm Rev. Turnip Druid: violently approved, SW.
	3:47pm from Quebec: albero rovesciato = upturned tree. Your last stab at the pronunciation was, well, not horrible
	3:47pm rangerjimhaku: Outstanding.
	3:48pm common: this is great, scott!
	3:48pm Rich in Washington: This is brilliant!
	🧩 3:48pm tim from champaign: Total robot dance club banger, Scott. Nice work!
	3:48pm KOTJ: @ Scott: Did you play the Black Velvet Flag version?
	3:50pm Scott Williams: aw heck, thanks buds! I got a new toy, you might notice
	3:50pm Ashok: Thanks for This Heat--blistering--and your Summer of Institutionalization is a gift to us all. You have taken this song to a special, soulless place that gives Derrick May gas. Keep it up!
	3:56pm steve: that was the best version of Institutionalized yet!
	4:01pm Chris from DC: Saw Richard Youngs last week. Great set. Looking forward to that tonight.
	4:05pm Carmichael: Hiya Scottie and FMU denizens. I think I drank 8 or 10 Dirty Beaches last night.
	4:05pm Cecile: Lilah, you did awesome.
	4:11pm Sandy in Houston: Hello Scott!
	4:11pm Scott Williams: Hey Sandy!
	4:13pm Sandy in Houston: I'm employed again so I'm listening at work again!
	4:13pm Cheri Pi: this is devestating, you're right Scott.
	4:14pm Scott Williams: gets better, CP! Downerville, please; 1 way
	4:15pm northguineahills: darn, missed institutionalized!
	4:18pm andymorphic: this is just great....familiar yet new
	4:19pm Cecile: FRANKIE TEARDROP
	4:21pm Scott Williams: yeah, well - as I said last time they played here: "obviously, you start with Suicide". but it is just a start
	4:22pm Chris from DC: Wow yeah, impressive.
	4:22pm adam_nspy: Totally blown away
	🧩 4:23pm tim from champaign: I was thinking the same thing, Cecile. I'm DJing a friend's wedding next month and he really wants me to play Frankie Teardrop. I think I might just play the first few bars then mix in a Donna Summer track.
	4:23pm adam_nspy: Implog shiz!!!!
	4:23pm Cheri Pi: suicidally impressed!
	🧩 4:23pm tim from champaign: This is a really good set. Thanks Scott.
	4:24pm Cecile: Oh, sure it is Scott. I mean, that's a compliment from me that it evokes such a great song in my head.
	4:26pm Scott Williams: Totally, Cecile! Whoah, Tim - are you serious?? I mean, your friend...? haha, he really wants that???
	4:26pm Cecile: Tim, you have to do the tough love thing. No Frankie Teardrop at a wedding.
	4:27pm Cecile: It's an episode of Snapped waiting to happen.
	4:28pm steve: wow tim, thats pretty demented. unless every person at the wedding has a career in the arts, in which case its slightly less so.
	🧩 4:29pm tim from champaign: Scott - yes! I've tried to talk him out of it. I think I'm going to bring the Suicide record just for show and hopefully as the night progresses he'll be too busy to notice it didn't get played. Nothing pisses off the "squares" faster than Suicide.
	4:30pm Cecile: I'm not square, or at least I hope I'm not, and that is a way dodgy musical choice.
	4:31pm Cheri Pi: Tim, save the Teardrop for the last hour, when all the guests are off their knockers drunk-they won't know what hit em.
	4:31pm Scott Williams: oh, you could play "Johnny" or "Cheri", maybe even "Girl" -- but, I mean.... Frankie slaughters his wife & kid!! goes way beyond scaring the squares
	4:32pm Cecile: Save it for when you have to clear our the hall.
	4:32pm Cecile: Exactly, Scott!
	🧩 4:32pm Rev. Turnip Druid: ah, the music of our lives...
	4:32pm Cecile: How about Dream Baby Dream?
	4:33pm steve: Keep Your Dreams, Dream Baby Dream...
	4:34pm Lewis: Franks's Wild Years?
	4:34pm Cheri Pi: Exactly, a floor cleearer so the caterers and everyone can get outta there at a decent hour.
	4:36pm Scott Williams: OK Tim, just b/c you asked so nicely - next set, we're gonna hear Yura Yura Teikoku's cover of Frankie Teardrop - any of y'all know it?? real good stuff.
	4:36pm Cecile: hell, I'd just blast Halber Mensch at hellish volumens and be done with it.
	🧩 4:36pm tim from champaign: I know! It's a terrible story to play at a wedding. There's no way I would play the whole thing. Like I said, I would have snuck in a few bars then switched out real quick. My friend mainly wants 70s funk, r'n'b and new wave so it's not going to be a total bloodbath. I may have to take Cecile's "tough love" approach.
	🧩 4:38pm tim from champaign: P.S. - Ryan, if you're reading this, sorry dude, no Frankie Teardrop.
	4:39pm Lulu: this is a very nice song
	4:39pm Chris from DC: Love those mellotrons.
	4:39pm Carmichael: You need some new friends, Tim.
	🧩 4:39pm Rev. Turnip Druid: How about Motörhead's "the chase is better than the catch" .... any better for a wedding event? no?
	🧩 4:40pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Give me all mellotrons. Thanks in advance, RTD.
	4:41pm Cecile: Love me like a reptile is a heartwarming song.
	4:41pm Carmichael: Wikipedia quotes FMU: "The track has become a recurring point of discussion on The Best Show on WFMU with Tom Scharpling where host Tom tells callers to try and listen to the entire song on headphones in complete darkness. This is known as the "Frankie Teardrop Challenge".
	4:42pm Lulu: idk what a mellotron is.. :(
	4:44pm Lewis: @Carmichael - I read that and it just seemed normal... yikes
	4:45pm George of Troy: So is he playing an actual Mellotron, or some sort of emulation? Sounds lo-fi enough to be the real deal.
	4:45pm Cheri Pi: I'm having second thoughts about remaining unchained, I'd get married in order to have Tim dj and play FT for my unsuspecting groom and family with ghostly lighting design which I'd blow my budget on.
	4:46pm Whosondephone: AMAZING!!!
	4:47pm Cecile: oh, you lie.
	4:47pm Chris from DC: GoT, I was wondering too. Lulu it's that keyboard on "Love Is The Devil" I think it was that sounds a bit like strings.
	4:47pm Cecile: Whose, ITA. They should put this out as a rekkid.
	4:47pm Scott Williams: it's a Mellotron emulation - it does a really good job
	4:49pm DCE: gotta get gotta get!
	🧩 4:49pm Rev. Turnip Druid: last time i went a-hunting, couldn't find a Mellotron emu for iPhone that had the choir sound, which is crucial.
	4:49pm Cheri Pi: Oh snap!
	🧩 4:50pm tim from champaign: This is dang good listening.
	4:50pm steve: Lulu - very old synth which runs a tape head over strips of pitched tape recordings to make sound when you press a key
	4:51pm Scott Williams: RTD, this one's a rack piece of gear w/ midi interface
	4:51pm Dominick: Just great!
	4:51pm steve: actually, maybe it technically isnt a synth, but a synth precursor
	4:51pm DCE: RTD can't have interface...he'll have innaface instead
	🧩 4:52pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Yeh, Scott, kinda figured. But sounds great. This whole thing has been mighty.
	4:52pm Carmichael: Mellotrons are notorious for going out of tune and staying there. The slightest change in weather, transportation, or evil vibes will cause it to mock your musical abilities.
	4:53pm Cheri Pi: Don't leave your mellotrons laying around in undecured college soundlabs either, they will be taken by this smug thief, under the cover of night.
	4:54pm Cheri Pi: Smug thieving bastard: fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net...
	🧩 4:54pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Aye, Carm. They don't travel well. Saw a friend's band a while back with a guest who had two vintage models, what a joy...
	4:54pm Scott Williams: yeah, actually the Mellotron was really a sampler - it was all pre-recorded tape loops dragged over tape heads, each loop triggered by a mechanical key. most famously heard on a ton of prog and also Stairway to Heaven flutes and Strawberry Fields intro
	4:55pm Cecile: hahahahaha cheri. he looks like he's in a Enuff Z'nuff cover band.
	4:56pm Cecile: "2 Much is never Z'nuff"
	4:56pm Scott Williams: haha, oooh la drude!
	4:57pm Cheri Pi: LOL C$!!! Look how he puts his boots up on it, Julian Cope is banned for life now at Bowling Green Tech.
	4:57pm steve: this extremely talented and enterprising fellow made his own from walkmen mysterycircuits.com...
	4:57pm common: enuff z'nuff! Hee!
	4:57pm George of Troy: My Waldorf Q has a couple of Mellotron factory patches that are fairly respectable, but DB's sound really great!
	4:58pm Cecile: hahahaha, cheri.
	4:58pm Scott Williams: Melloman is amazing!
	4:58pm Droll: It's the Mellotron's magical melancholy of the Lawrence Welk Orchestra. The Chamberlain (cheap American precursor to the Mellotron) couldn't touch it. I'll bet Enuf Z'nuff used Mellotron on at least 3 songs!
	4:59pm Cheri Pi: Enuff Z'nuff video interlude youtu.be...
	5:00pm steve: i tried to make the poor mans mellotron earlier this year with a single walkman playing an endless loop tape tuned to middle c, and speed it up and down to match notes with MIDI notes in, but i gave up. might pick it back up eventually
	5:02pm Cheri Pi: They do Droll, look how they exploit scantilly clad coeds, draping them shamefully across the keys.
	5:02pm Cecile: hahahaha, great song in a dubious package.
	5:04pm Cheri Pi: Douse the lights!
	5:05pm Chris from DC: This is awesome.
	5:06pm Cecile: hahahahahaha, FRANHKIE
	5:07pm Cecile: repeat: do not let your friend play this at his wedding.
	🧩 5:08pm tim from champaign: Whoa, sounds even more sinister in this language.
	5:08pm Carmichael: Headphones and darkness. That's all Tom S. asks.
	🧩 5:10pm tim from champaign: It's settled. NO Frankie Teardrop at the wedding. It's better to save it for drunken karaoke night.
	5:10pm Carmichael: Or wait until the divorce.
	5:12pm Lulu: if there's like, an animal sacrifice at the wedding, then you could play it then
	5:14pm Carmichael: Good point, Lulu.
	5:14pm Mike East: a friend was just telling me about a wedding he went to last weekend where the music was a girl playing electric violin, looping it, then adding in some weird vocals into the loops. Also, there was no speaking during the ceremony itself, just symbolic gestures.
	5:15pm northguineahills: I dj'ed Matmos's remix of Full on the Night by request at a wedding during the toast..... full on screeching noise for minutes.... it was awesome! (the groom requested it, most of the peeps weren't into it).
	5:22pm Cecile: Mike, I'm visualizing pantomimed smooches and pelvic thrusting.
	5:22pm Cecile: it's kind of disturbing. Maybe the couple aren't as disturbed as I am.
	5:25pm glenn: however, country death song is PERFECTLY acceptable at a wedding.
	5:25pm Cecile: YES!!!!!!!!!
	5:25pm glenn: clay pigeon, kids.
	5:26pm Cecile: Best $1 I ever spent for a CD.
	5:26pm Scott Williams: I'm waiting for Lila's irony to develop to the point that I can sing Country Death Song with the Hoof & Mouth; she's getting close
	5:27pm robyn: love it
	5:28pm glenn: speaking of clowns. news.nationalpost.com...
	5:28pm Mike East: @Cecile - no I think it was more pouring wine into glasses, and tying their hands together with rope. The pelvic thrusting may have come later though.
	5:29pm steve: Dirty Clown is a modern classic
	5:29pm glenn: jeeez. i bet i haven't been to a wedding in fifteen years. lots of funerals, though.
	5:29pm Fredericks: That clown tune is a skin crawling masterpiece.
	5:29pm Cecile: hahahahahaha, Mike.
	5:30pm glenn: oh, and i see ray dolby died a couple of days back.
	5:32pm Carmichael: Is that the same Kacy Ross from Deloris Telescope?
	5:33pm Fredericks: Yes, Carm.
	5:36pm glenn: oh. i guess i should have clicked on scott's link before posting the same thing.
	5:39pm bloopy: You're in the zone for the last set. in the mother zone
	5:39pm dale: if you kiddies don't own 'that dirty clown' you need to run out to your record jobber immediately. or probably buy it on itunes or ask clay where you can get it. frikken' masterpiece!
	5:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I doubledawg LOVE that smugthief...
	🧩 5:42pm Ike: Groovy.
	5:46pm RE "That Dirty Clown": http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/17589
	5:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...I'm a ♏Scorpio & I don't like Clowns. ...I can see thru them - I know they're Creepy...Sad drunks & serial killers, the lot of 'em...
	🧩 5:50pm tim from champaign: Thanks for the great Dirty Beaches set and all around dandy of a show, Scott. Adios amigos and amigas.
	5:52pm Cecile: black cow!
	5:52pm Cecile: they quoted from Black cow there.
	5:53pm Scott Williams: Cecile, did you catch the Black Cow sample at the very top of the track?
	5:55pm Cecile: I did!
	5:55pm Cecile: I have giant chunks of that whole album tattooed on my brain.
	5:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I'm a Frankie & I'm burning in hell.
	5:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...still single, & waiting for WFMU-Anon to be established...
	5:58pm glenn: that must have hurt, cecile.
	5:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...all they wanted was 'Frankie Teardrop' - & tim wouldn't give it to 'em...
	5:59pm Cecile: it was painful, but it beat listening to Styx.
	6:01pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...it prob. wouldn't hurt to have your brain tatooed (once your skull was open) - but you would probably jerk & spew nonsense & have things flash thru your mind as different bits of Brain were stimulated (???)...
	1:32pm Christine: Lydia Lunch & Retrovirus have been doing Frankie pretty proud lately....we're all Frankies http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YALEmewwhss&feature=share
	1:35pm Christine: sorry...don't know why that didn't work guess you'll have to cut/paste
