Listener comments!
	3:23pm Dave in Vermont: ah yes, comment comment comment
	3:23pm Cecile: holaaaaa
	3:24pm Stepchild: heh
	3:24pm Wild Neil: Dear Fabio et al Fabions-Greetings! Peace be unto you all!
	3:25pm V Priceless: Hey Fabio and Scottsio!
	3:26pm ?: La Maratona con Fabio e Scotto, questa sarà una festa!
	3:26pm Dave in Vermont: Fabio, thanks for your amazing show and your generosity with the FMU audience. I don't want to try and split my pledge but I do want to let you know that yours is one of my favorite shows. I must say I have come to look forward to your time with Clay Pigeon, even though it means less of the the great music you share. Have a great marathon.
	3:26pm P-90: La maratona con Fabio e Scotto, questa sarà una festa!
	👻 3:29pm Ken From Hyde Park: Strength Through Pledging!
	👻 3:31pm mrdonutsu: My favorite bit about "Frampton Comes Alive" is how they mixed in the crowd sound. Listening to it, you'd swear it was in some 20,000 seat arena. But it was actually recorded primarily at Winterland in San Francisco, which only holds 5,500 people.
	3:32pm Stepchild: True dat, Scott! We're wholly holey here.
	3:32pm geezerette: Seconding Dave in Vermont,pledged already to station at large but you and Clay Pigeon are two of my many favorites at FMU. I do my best work listening to all of you doing your work. Best station in the nation.
	3:40pm fred: @Dave in Vermont: I understand your stand, and I like how you seize this opportunity to thank DJs
	3:41pm Jeff: Was Scott talking? If so, Fabio was righteous. Otherwise, Fabio was being a dookiehead.
	3:42pm Chris from DC: Sorry, what was the movie again? This sounds cool.
	3:43pm Chris from DC: Ah.
	3:45pm Stepchild: Blast Of Silence is a VERY bleak, even for noir, film. Rare first-person narrative presentation. A must!
	3:45pm Wild Neil: @Fabio! My brother lives near Oaxaca in Putla!
	3:49pm slugluv1313: Pete Frampton gets the goods! Just pledged to your show, Fabio -- i actually still OWN that "I'm In You" 45, complete with that dreamy picture sleeve (insert 1970s teenage girl sigh here) Even as a teenager, i had to wonder -- SOMEONE in some sort of marketing capacity MUST have realized that Frampton's "pretty boy" looks would sell records -- they sure were right!
	3:49pm slugluv1313: @ mrdonutsu -- WOW! i had NO idea about that re: "Frampton Comes Alive"!
	3:50pm Scott Williams: Everybodies!! sorry for the failure to get in here quicker - I get it now! prize on the shelf now is the 1961 film noir BLAST OF SILENCE, featuring DJ Michael Shelley's mom! $75 or more gets you in the running. @Jeff, of course I wasn't talking ;)
	3:51pm Dave in Vermont: @fred , Thanks
	3:52pm slugluv1313: i would love to know what an Iancu Dumitrescu interpretation of "I'm In You" would sound & feel like
	3:54pm Cecile: slug, I used to have a picture of Peter Frampton with R2D2 onstage from Newsweek taped in my school notebook.
	3:54pm bloopy: Fab and Scott together at last
	3:54pm Wild Neil: Satan is a jerk.
	3:54pm coelacanth: hi Fabio and Scott and All!
	3:54pm Cecile: as Sonic Youth said, Satan is boring.
	3:55pm fred: @slugluv1313: Probably nothing to write home about if Ana-Maria Avram isn't involved too
	3:55pm coelacanth: ...Fabio's theme didn't always have a santana (?) intro though.
	3:56pm slugluv1313: oh Cecile i am SOOOOO jealous!!!!!!!!! @ fred -- YES! the both of them!
	3:56pm Ike: Morris County, near Madison & Morristown, but also near Summit.
	3:57pm dale: i have been absent from the comments board this week, but never fear fabio, a chunk of my pledge is devoted to failure.
	3:57pm Carmichael: Yay, Cecile!
	3:58pm coelacanth: oh shit. i hadn't heard.
	3:58pm dale: don't forget natalie - i know how you like natalie cole.
	3:59pm Cecile: YAS
	3:59pm Cecile: it's all too much
	3:59pm Guido from Cologne: Its all too much?
	4:00pm coelacanth: play the 9-minute version!!
	4:00pm V Priceless: cool
	4:01pm Uncle Michael: Greetings aesthetic supporters!
	4:01pm SeanG: GEORGE
	4:02pm coelacanth: (...8.15)
	4:02pm Cecile: this is the one and only song I taught myself to play by ear on the piano.
	4:02pm will: You said you weren't gonna play the Beatles!!
	4:02pm MattBelow: His string section writing for "I Am The Walrus" alone proves Mr. Martin's genius
	4:03pm slugluv1313: LOVE this -- and again, Cecile, soooo in awe; i have NEVER been able to play anything by ear myself!
	4:04pm Guido from Cologne: When I bought Yellow Submarine as a kid I was so annoyed about the orchestral flipside that I took the LP back to the shop. But not without taping the 1st side before.
	4:05pm Cecile: it wasn't real steady. I think I could play about 16 bars of it. And that was the culmination of my musical ambition.
	4:05pm Dean: When it comes to this tune, Steve Hillage is the Rich Little of rock.
	4:06pm geezerette: Four geniuses in one band. Too much!!! So happy to hear this.
	4:06pm coelacanth: my 5th-grade friend had it so i knew...+ i had magical mystery tour which has 2-3 songs that are on side A. ...i have it now though.
	4:07pm MattBelow: "Sorrow" is by The Merseys
	4:07pm BriJet: Hello!!!
	4:07pm coelacanth: wow, i never knew that!
	4:08pm Greg from ZONE 5: BriJet!
	4:08pm fred: @Cecile: Well, 16 bars is a lot if you interpret it in a bar-crawl way
	4:09pm Swan_Gone: I don't like the Beatles but this show is absolutely fabulous! Pledge! Being swag for life is dope!
	4:09pm coelacanth: many ideas coming from Geoff Emerick as well.
	4:10pm Cecile: It was pretty shambolic and completely unappreciated by others. I appreciate the Beatles more now. But hearing their worst songs over and over made a lot of us dislike them.
	4:11pm Jeff: Duh, Chatham's kind of near Summit.
	4:12pm coelacanth: (like using a lesly speaker for the vocals in tomorrow never knows; and using large speakers as microphones for the bass on "rain" and "paperback writer".... but in general,it was very much both of them.)
	4:13pm Cecile: Am I in the running?
	4:13pm Wild Neil: @Coelacanth-you can use a speaker as a ....microphone?!
	4:13pm Uncle Michael: And vice versa...a transducer is a transducer!
	4:14pm coelacanth: Neil - they're sort of the same thing.
	4:14pm Dean: And a diaphragm's a diaphragm.
	4:14pm slugluv1313: what Ike said re: Chatham -- have only been there a few times, i recall it being a rather pretty little town
	4:16pm coelacanth: ...but emi was far behind in recording technology; so when John and Paul really wanted that big bass sound that the rnb songs from the u.s. had, they had to get creative!
	4:16pm Cecile: Kieran.
	4:18pm coelacanth: don't go near acadia during migration time.
	4:18pm lisa: Ciaran is pronounced KEER-an
	4:19pm βrian: How can someone live in the northeastern US and never have visited Maine? (NJ, I could understand ...)
	4:21pm melinda: Fabio is it the Wilhelm Reich Museum in Rangeley?
	4:26pm Carmichael: The Irish name is Cieran, pronounced KEER-un. There is no K in the Irish alphabet. Some people change to a K (especially in the US) out of frustration at the mispronunciations.
	4:27pm Scott Williams: thanks for the pronunciation helps, y'all!
	4:28pm JP: Come on, guys. I don't need to feel like I'm walking through a hallway of lost souls. I'm already AT work.
	4:28pm Cecile: yeah, the Kieran who owns about six Irish bars in Mpls-St. Paul did that when he got here.
	4:30pm βrian: Are you saying "Killian's" isn't authentical, then?
	4:30pm Cecile: radio production people used library music too
	4:32pm kimgland: thanks guys !
	4:34pm Uncle Michael: My dad had a great time seeing Gil in L.A. a year or so ago.
	4:35pm Cecile: Those kind of shows are the worst.
	4:35pm βrian: That was a beautiful rendition of Cucurrucucu!
	4:35pm Ike: This $360 vs. $365 thing this year is weird. And one wonders what multiple of $5 are you losing from all the Mouse pledgers this year.
	4:35pm Fredericks: Gil is an excellent guitarist. I've heard some great live stuff by him.
	4:36pm fred: @Carmichael: is that why they ditched the 'r' in Boston? Out of a sense of the right number of consonants, maybe
	4:36pm Cecile: I went to see Bill Frisell, he did that kind of thing, and I fell asleep.
	4:37pm Cecile: no, they did SF Sorrow.
	4:38pm βrian: Say, why has Brian Eno never done "Music for Libraries"?
	4:41pm flashbazbo: The Beatles made the world where you have your little annoyances and preferences you little babies. Ok I'm done.
	4:43pm Dean: Ever try landing an airplane at a library?
	4:45pm βrian: I must've landed somehow or another. I've certainly flown with the angels in libraries.
	4:46pm coelacanth: shoot, i never even tried to land a guitar solo at a library.
	4:48pm JP: I landed a Jefferson Airplane at a library... I was told to "shhh."
	4:49pm Cecile: flashbazbo, no kidding. I'm sure everyone here recognizes that, even if they don't like the Beatles.
	4:52pm Scott Williams: don't forget about Fabio's amazing Grand Prize we'll be drawing for at the end of the show: JIM SHAW, 8CD box set of guitar, tape and electronic works! pledge $100 or more to get in the running
	4:55pm coelacanth: as with global warming- despite the obvious, some people do deny the beatles' contributions to the evolution of music and culture.
	4:56pm James: I believe Fabio you were thinking of the World's Largest Free Lobster Museum. Please let me win the Jim Shaw 8-CD set!
	4:56pm Stepchild: Huge. But someone should at least deny that it's "the world." I'll be the one.
	4:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Excellent book by the inestimably talented & gentlemanly @ thoroughly awesome Sir George Martin about recording in the Sgt.Pepper era: www.amazon.com...
	👻 4:58pm Walt: @Stepchild, I believe the narration in "Blast of Silence" is in the _second_ person, as in "You're alone. But you don't mind that. You're a loner. That's the way it should be. You've always been alone. By now it's your trademark. You like it that way." The narration is by Lionel Stander, in many great comedies from the 1930's before he was blacklisted. He came back to be on "Hart to Hart" in the 1970s and 80s.
	4:59pm Stepchild: YES!
	4:59pm SeanG: man chest hair! great comp
	5:02pm cory: swag for life is so easy too
	5:02pm john fekner: D.O.N.A.T.E. gang
	5:06pm fred: @coelacanth: the dark side of that is that some musicologists now deny existence of music that isn't using the chord progressions enshrined by the Beatles, outside of learned music. Not the Beatles fault, obviously, but those who defend hallowed grounds sometimes prefer to move out the walls rather than tear them down
	5:07pm Cecile: Henry Gibson.
	5:07pm Greg from ZONE 5: Henry Gibson?
	👻 5:07pm Walt: Henry Gibson from Laugh-In was in Nashville.
	5:07pm Greg from ZONE 5: What Cecile said.
	👻 5:08pm Walt: Ditto
	5:08pm slugluv1313: yup! what Cecile and Greg and Walt said!
	5:09pm Cecile: time to go to the mail room
	👻 5:09pm Walt: The music from "Images" was pretty awesome too (by John Williams, who also wrote the them from "The Long Goodbye" that plays in so many different versions throughoug the film).
	5:11pm V Priceless: Mr. God-Ass-Man?
	5:11pm coelacanth: stepchild @4:56 yes - there must be many arenas that the beatles had no impact upon. (i.e. plastic fork production efficiency; and computer technology...) - but even in music. i'd bet mongolian throat singing has been virtually un-changed by the beatles!
	5:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Beatles did everything from 'I Saw Her Standing There' to 'Yesterday' to 'I Am the Walrus' to 'Revolution #9' - & all of it in just seven years & 13 short albums - anyhow. They never made the same album twice, or a bad one.
	5:12pm cory: @Scott, i think he had a thing for you.
	5:12pm SeanG: schools are full of moronic mediocrities
	5:12pm coelacanth: fred, that's insane!
	5:13pm Scott Williams: No way Cory!
	5:14pm coelacanth: ....but then, my feathers get ruffled whenever someone refers to him/her/itself as a "musicologist".
	5:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @coelacanth: Now yer outside Western Music & especially Western Pop - & speaking of a Music that exists kinda by definition in isolation in form. That is, right you are. More to the point - The Beatles brought things like strange Asian 'Folk' music into Western Pop. As a World Phenomenon - The Beatles may just be the bigggest broadest thing ever...
	5:15pm Scott Williams: Hey friends, it's another Criterion DVD up now, Robert Altman's classic NASHVILLE; pledge $20 or more to get in the running
	5:16pm fred: @coelacanth: Well, it's a way to get paid when your college track didn't exactly make that a sure thing
	5:19pm V Priceless: Yay! Happy Birthday John Cale (yesterday)!
	5:22pm coelacanth: Rabbit, they may be, but as much as i adore them we all know it was a group effort. 'so many creative people at that time. ...and they did inform many people of music that they otherwise would never have heard; and as they did, those cultures did acknowledge it. (as indians playing beatles' songs on traditional instrument...etc)
	5:23pm fred: @RRN63: The way academia works, I think The Beatles reached critical mass, where once mavericks now tenured types hold sway. That says less about their music than about our culture
	5:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: There's this guy Howard Goodall on BCC : www.youtube.com... ...saying The Beatles restored Harmony to All of Music - including 'Classical' Music - when it had gone all Avant-garde & Modernist ! I like his exposition a lot - for showing someone like me who isn't musically Technical the specific qualities of The Beatles ('Eleanor Rigby' is Modal - oh, hadn't thot of that!) - but...For a Rawk Rebel, isn't the point that The Beatles expanded & evolved Pop into the Weird ? The opposite, in other words? & - yeah - singling out The Beatles as thee single 'Classic' exalted Artistes in all of Pop/Rawk who achieved anything - that rankles w/ me...
	5:24pm DAVE RAE: Fabio can we hear that John Cale interview?
	5:25pm coelacanth: fred, i'm good with that. it sounds like a good life to me! it's just when someone assumes authority that bothers me. going to school doesn't make one smarter, and sometimes not even more knowledged.
	5:26pm JP: @Coelacanth, Totally agree. Ravi Shankar wouldn't be a household name in the states if it weren't for The Beatles.
	5:26pm Cecile: Blixa Bargeld for a hardware store! That's hilarious!
	5:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It was in fact Blixa who said The Beatles & Pink Floyd deserve great cred for bringing the Avant-garde to Masses.
	5:28pm Cecile: here it is! www.youtube.com...
	5:28pm slugluv1313: Blixa Bargeld -- urging ALL to live very DISTURBING lives -- even while cooking or shopping for hardware!
	5:29pm Cecile: www.youtube.com...
	5:30pm fred: @Coelacanth: Just laugh at anyone who assumes authority (in musical matters), that will weed the good drinking partners from the unredeemable assholes
	5:31pm cory: RRN63, that's a statement i can get behind
	5:33pm Carmichael: Just got back from a meeting. Hope I didn't miss anything good.
	5:33pm JP: @Fred: Forget the parenthetical. Just laugh at anyone who assumes authority, period!
	5:33pm Carmichael: I also swagged for life. I hope I get my little radio thingie soon.
	5:35pm cory: sounds like my job. everything is broken, including the employees
	5:36pm fred: @JP: I think that parenthetical should be rephrased as (unless it holds a gun), not forgotten
	5:37pm Carmichael: Great idea, Fred. Good drinking partners are invaluable.
	5:38pm John M: Scott sure is cussin' a bunch. Gaw-LEE!
	5:38pm coelacanth: fred, i shall try to heed that supreme advice! - i once had a great conversation in a bar that went bad when i said i didn't like "stairway to heaven"! he said i'm just saying it to be contrary, even though i had solid, specific reasons for not liking it. he could not accept it so decided i was full of shit and then rapid-fire asked me about many other such things. ...there was also no way anyone could possibly dislike "hotel california".
	5:39pm Listener Robert: Yes, I too for years thought it was closing theme-opening theme, until Fabio explained it.
	5:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It takes not only skill but practice to verbally articulate things about Music - like Taste. But - I maintain it can be done. Should anyone really want to. (Not to say 'I like it - or 'I don't' aren't valid statements as is...)
	5:44pm melinda: @coelecanth: that's a funny story. No one needs to defend why they don't like a song, in my opinion.
	5:44pm fred: @Carmichael: I just scored a delightful Elijah Craig (Barrel Proof) that was made better by sharing it with the right people. In a way pledging to the station is like that: sharing the good stuff with people who appreciate it
	5:46pm JP: Well said, fred. I know that's certainly a part of my motivation for pledging.
	5:47pm Scott Williams: prize on the plate right now, another Criterion DVD, Howard Brookner's "BURROUGHS" doc! $20 pledge or more to get in the running
	5:47pm coelacanth: i'm not so skilled -especially when i'm half-drunk. -but man, someone telling me i'm lying really gets me. why would i lie about that and then admit that i like some monkees songs! (and other led zeppelin material as well.)
	5:48pm Cecile: I think people who are insecure attack others' musical taste.
	5:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Theodor Adorno's 'Noise' is a pertinent text here. I acknowledge the very considerable talents of the Eagles - & I wonder how I'd react to them differently if I was overexposed to them & force fed them! That is - there is a socio-cultural aspect to Music. It marks Territory. As Pete Townshend was always explicit about - Music is a Weapon...
	5:48pm Greg from ZONE 5: IT BEGINS
	5:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...was *not overexposed... Be a Swag For Lifer folx! A little every month - painless...
	5:50pm cory: whatever happened with that printing the internet bs?
	5:50pm coelacanth: (and here i insert my confession that i do like a handful of early eagles songs!)
	5:51pm melinda: Overexposure can definitely shape our dislikes.
	5:51pm fred: @coelacanth: My best conversation in a bar started with my saying I didn't like whisky, then getting into a conversation about music while tasting different Irish Whiskeys. Turned out the guy was the owner of the bar, so I kinda got a scholarship in whisky, plus a lot about Irish/English nuances, all for free. Still, The Pogues were there the night before and I missed that.
	5:53pm coelacanth: oh that's Great fred! (well, not the last part...)
	5:54pm Carmichael: Don't ever miss a chance to see the Pogues, Fred. Even with Phil Chevron gone. I saw them several times in both Ireland and the US. They are like a firestorm.
	5:54pm cory: while we're talking about it, i could use a pigeon bump
	5:54pm flashbazbo: I'm just feeling that the hipper than. Beatle deniers are living in musical worlds that are actually dependent on Beatles advances. And not just music but the whole delivery systems of their music. Free form radio, regional scenes. Remember this tho: guitar bands are out.
	5:55pm Carmichael: @coel: I feel about the Eagles the same as Lebowski.
	5:55pm coelacanth: (dwelling on...) i was in fact over-exposed to "hotel california"...and now i'd much rather hear the jethro tull song that the eagles stole that chord progression from.
	5:56pm fred: @Carmichael: I did see the Pogues, but learning they had been in my fave pub when I wasn't there really hurt
	5:56pm Carmichael: @Fred: Ow!
	5:57pm cory: btw. i couldn't adopt fabio this year. i hope one of you pick up this dj.
	5:57pm Carmichael: Yay, Guido!
	5:57pm coelacanth: i saw the pogues, but unfortunately without Shane.
	5:57pm Jeff: I say tomato.
	5:58pm Stepchild: Tomago!
	5:58pm mick: hahahahahaha.....taygo maygo
	5:58pm Carmichael: I say ketchup.
	5:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I used to talk smack about Sinatra - Rawk Hater - White Jazz - Square generation. Love him now of course...He was before my time so I didn't get it yet. Came to mock but stayed to pray: made fun of Crooning - realized that was because it had 'got inside' me...So younger age groups may well be about The Beatles (like people in British Comedy have made a point of being Not Monty Python for some time now...)
	5:58pm fred: OK, turn that knife, it was Shane era
	👻 5:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Termater!
	5:59pm Bryce: dayglo faygo
	5:59pm Guido from Cologne: They were calling themself The Inner Space in the beginnings.
	5:59pm Jeff: Bande Canique
	5:59pm Carmichael: Now I say catsup.
	6:00pm coelacanth: saw the pogues at the first "guinness flead" (sp?) so it was kinda ironic that Shane wasn't there.
	6:01pm andreas: pledge failure in your homeland - antella is close to florence
	6:02pm cory: thanks for the great show fabio and scott
	6:02pm coelacanth: Thanks Fabio etc! ciao peeps!
	6:02pm Bryce: i just made ¢15 thanks clay pigeon
	3:32pm raga: Scott, I still get a thrill every week when I hear Giant Man too. I can't believe such a seemingly serious character as Fabio was flicking you in the art house theater, and during such a perfect film as Mulholland Drive, no less! He definitely owes you something in my book...

	3:45pm Stepchild: Blast Of Silence is a VERY bleak, even for noir, film. Rare first-person narrative presentation. A must!
	3:45pm Wild Neil: @Fabio! My brother lives near Oaxaca in Putla!
	3:49pm slugluv1313: Pete Frampton gets the goods! Just pledged to your show, Fabio -- i actually still OWN that "I'm In You" 45, complete with that dreamy picture sleeve (insert 1970s teenage girl sigh here) Even as a teenager, i had to wonder -- SOMEONE in some sort of marketing capacity MUST have realized that Frampton's "pretty boy" looks would sell records -- they sure were right!
	3:49pm slugluv1313: @ mrdonutsu -- WOW! i had NO idea about that re: "Frampton Comes Alive"!
	3:50pm Scott Williams: Everybodies!! sorry for the failure to get in here quicker - I get it now! prize on the shelf now is the 1961 film noir BLAST OF SILENCE, featuring DJ Michael Shelley's mom! $75 or more gets you in the running. @Jeff, of course I wasn't talking ;)
	3:51pm Dave in Vermont: @fred , Thanks
	3:52pm slugluv1313: i would love to know what an Iancu Dumitrescu interpretation of "I'm In You" would sound & feel like
	3:54pm Cecile: slug, I used to have a picture of Peter Frampton with R2D2 onstage from Newsweek taped in my school notebook.
	3:54pm bloopy: Fab and Scott together at last
	3:54pm Wild Neil: Satan is a jerk.
	3:54pm coelacanth: hi Fabio and Scott and All!
	3:54pm Cecile: as Sonic Youth said, Satan is boring.
	3:55pm fred: @slugluv1313: Probably nothing to write home about if Ana-Maria Avram isn't involved too
	3:55pm coelacanth: ...Fabio's theme didn't always have a santana (?) intro though.
	3:56pm slugluv1313: oh Cecile i am SOOOOO jealous!!!!!!!!! @ fred -- YES! the both of them!
	3:56pm Ike: Morris County, near Madison & Morristown, but also near Summit.
	3:57pm dale: i have been absent from the comments board this week, but never fear fabio, a chunk of my pledge is devoted to failure.
	3:57pm Carmichael: Yay, Cecile!
	3:58pm coelacanth: oh shit. i hadn't heard.
	3:58pm dale: don't forget natalie - i know how you like natalie cole.
	3:59pm Cecile: YAS
	3:59pm Cecile: it's all too much
	3:59pm Guido from Cologne: Its all too much?
	4:00pm coelacanth: play the 9-minute version!!
	4:00pm V Priceless: cool
	4:01pm Uncle Michael: Greetings aesthetic supporters!
	4:01pm SeanG: GEORGE
	4:02pm coelacanth: (...8.15)
	4:02pm Cecile: this is the one and only song I taught myself to play by ear on the piano.
	4:02pm will: You said you weren't gonna play the Beatles!!
	4:02pm MattBelow: His string section writing for "I Am The Walrus" alone proves Mr. Martin's genius
	4:03pm slugluv1313: LOVE this -- and again, Cecile, soooo in awe; i have NEVER been able to play anything by ear myself!
	4:04pm Guido from Cologne: When I bought Yellow Submarine as a kid I was so annoyed about the orchestral flipside that I took the LP back to the shop. But not without taping the 1st side before.
	4:05pm Cecile: it wasn't real steady. I think I could play about 16 bars of it. And that was the culmination of my musical ambition.
	4:05pm Dean: When it comes to this tune, Steve Hillage is the Rich Little of rock.
	4:06pm geezerette: Four geniuses in one band. Too much!!! So happy to hear this.
	4:06pm coelacanth: my 5th-grade friend had it so i knew...+ i had magical mystery tour which has 2-3 songs that are on side A. ...i have it now though.
	4:07pm MattBelow: "Sorrow" is by The Merseys
	4:07pm BriJet: Hello!!!
	4:07pm coelacanth: wow, i never knew that!
	4:08pm Greg from ZONE 5: BriJet!
	4:08pm fred: @Cecile: Well, 16 bars is a lot if you interpret it in a bar-crawl way
	4:09pm Swan_Gone: I don't like the Beatles but this show is absolutely fabulous! Pledge! Being swag for life is dope!
	4:09pm coelacanth: many ideas coming from Geoff Emerick as well.
	4:10pm Cecile: It was pretty shambolic and completely unappreciated by others. I appreciate the Beatles more now. But hearing their worst songs over and over made a lot of us dislike them.
	4:11pm Jeff: Duh, Chatham's kind of near Summit.
	4:12pm coelacanth: (like using a lesly speaker for the vocals in tomorrow never knows; and using large speakers as microphones for the bass on "rain" and "paperback writer".... but in general,it was very much both of them.)
	4:13pm Cecile: Am I in the running?
	4:13pm Wild Neil: @Coelacanth-you can use a speaker as a ....microphone?!
	4:13pm Uncle Michael: And vice versa...a transducer is a transducer!
	4:14pm coelacanth: Neil - they're sort of the same thing.
	4:14pm Dean: And a diaphragm's a diaphragm.
	4:14pm slugluv1313: what Ike said re: Chatham -- have only been there a few times, i recall it being a rather pretty little town
	4:16pm coelacanth: ...but emi was far behind in recording technology; so when John and Paul really wanted that big bass sound that the rnb songs from the u.s. had, they had to get creative!
	4:16pm Cecile: Kieran.
	4:18pm coelacanth: don't go near acadia during migration time.
	4:18pm lisa: Ciaran is pronounced KEER-an
	4:19pm βrian: How can someone live in the northeastern US and never have visited Maine? (NJ, I could understand ...)
	4:21pm melinda: Fabio is it the Wilhelm Reich Museum in Rangeley?
	4:26pm Carmichael: The Irish name is Cieran, pronounced KEER-un. There is no K in the Irish alphabet. Some people change to a K (especially in the US) out of frustration at the mispronunciations.
	4:27pm Scott Williams: thanks for the pronunciation helps, y'all!
	4:28pm JP: Come on, guys. I don't need to feel like I'm walking through a hallway of lost souls. I'm already AT work.
	4:28pm Cecile: yeah, the Kieran who owns about six Irish bars in Mpls-St. Paul did that when he got here.
	4:30pm βrian: Are you saying "Killian's" isn't authentical, then?
	4:30pm Cecile: radio production people used library music too
	4:32pm kimgland: thanks guys !
	4:34pm Uncle Michael: My dad had a great time seeing Gil in L.A. a year or so ago.
	4:35pm Cecile: Those kind of shows are the worst.
	4:35pm βrian: That was a beautiful rendition of Cucurrucucu!
	4:35pm Ike: This $360 vs. $365 thing this year is weird. And one wonders what multiple of $5 are you losing from all the Mouse pledgers this year.
	4:35pm Fredericks: Gil is an excellent guitarist. I've heard some great live stuff by him.
	4:36pm fred: @Carmichael: is that why they ditched the 'r' in Boston? Out of a sense of the right number of consonants, maybe
	4:36pm Cecile: I went to see Bill Frisell, he did that kind of thing, and I fell asleep.
	4:37pm Cecile: no, they did SF Sorrow.
	4:38pm βrian: Say, why has Brian Eno never done "Music for Libraries"?
	4:41pm flashbazbo: The Beatles made the world where you have your little annoyances and preferences you little babies. Ok I'm done.
	4:43pm Dean: Ever try landing an airplane at a library?
	4:45pm βrian: I must've landed somehow or another. I've certainly flown with the angels in libraries.
	4:46pm coelacanth: shoot, i never even tried to land a guitar solo at a library.
	4:48pm JP: I landed a Jefferson Airplane at a library... I was told to "shhh."
	4:49pm Cecile: flashbazbo, no kidding. I'm sure everyone here recognizes that, even if they don't like the Beatles.
	4:52pm Scott Williams: don't forget about Fabio's amazing Grand Prize we'll be drawing for at the end of the show: JIM SHAW, 8CD box set of guitar, tape and electronic works! pledge $100 or more to get in the running
	4:55pm coelacanth: as with global warming- despite the obvious, some people do deny the beatles' contributions to the evolution of music and culture.
	4:56pm James: I believe Fabio you were thinking of the World's Largest Free Lobster Museum. Please let me win the Jim Shaw 8-CD set!
	4:56pm Stepchild: Huge. But someone should at least deny that it's "the world." I'll be the one.
	4:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Excellent book by the inestimably talented & gentlemanly @ thoroughly awesome Sir George Martin about recording in the Sgt.Pepper era: www.amazon.com...
	👻 4:58pm Walt: @Stepchild, I believe the narration in "Blast of Silence" is in the _second_ person, as in "You're alone. But you don't mind that. You're a loner. That's the way it should be. You've always been alone. By now it's your trademark. You like it that way." The narration is by Lionel Stander, in many great comedies from the 1930's before he was blacklisted. He came back to be on "Hart to Hart" in the 1970s and 80s.
	4:59pm Stepchild: YES!
	4:59pm SeanG: man chest hair! great comp
	5:02pm cory: swag for life is so easy too
	5:02pm john fekner: D.O.N.A.T.E. gang
	5:06pm fred: @coelacanth: the dark side of that is that some musicologists now deny existence of music that isn't using the chord progressions enshrined by the Beatles, outside of learned music. Not the Beatles fault, obviously, but those who defend hallowed grounds sometimes prefer to move out the walls rather than tear them down
	5:07pm Cecile: Henry Gibson.
	5:07pm Greg from ZONE 5: Henry Gibson?
	👻 5:07pm Walt: Henry Gibson from Laugh-In was in Nashville.
	5:07pm Greg from ZONE 5: What Cecile said.
	👻 5:08pm Walt: Ditto
	5:08pm slugluv1313: yup! what Cecile and Greg and Walt said!
	5:09pm Cecile: time to go to the mail room
	👻 5:09pm Walt: The music from "Images" was pretty awesome too (by John Williams, who also wrote the them from "The Long Goodbye" that plays in so many different versions throughoug the film).
	5:11pm V Priceless: Mr. God-Ass-Man?
	5:11pm coelacanth: stepchild @4:56 yes - there must be many arenas that the beatles had no impact upon. (i.e. plastic fork production efficiency; and computer technology...) - but even in music. i'd bet mongolian throat singing has been virtually un-changed by the beatles!
	5:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The Beatles did everything from 'I Saw Her Standing There' to 'Yesterday' to 'I Am the Walrus' to 'Revolution #9' - & all of it in just seven years & 13 short albums - anyhow. They never made the same album twice, or a bad one.
	5:12pm cory: @Scott, i think he had a thing for you.
	5:12pm SeanG: schools are full of moronic mediocrities
	5:12pm coelacanth: fred, that's insane!
	5:13pm Scott Williams: No way Cory!
	5:14pm coelacanth: ....but then, my feathers get ruffled whenever someone refers to him/her/itself as a "musicologist".
	5:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @coelacanth: Now yer outside Western Music & especially Western Pop - & speaking of a Music that exists kinda by definition in isolation in form. That is, right you are. More to the point - The Beatles brought things like strange Asian 'Folk' music into Western Pop. As a World Phenomenon - The Beatles may just be the bigggest broadest thing ever...
	5:15pm Scott Williams: Hey friends, it's another Criterion DVD up now, Robert Altman's classic NASHVILLE; pledge $20 or more to get in the running
	5:16pm fred: @coelacanth: Well, it's a way to get paid when your college track didn't exactly make that a sure thing
	5:19pm V Priceless: Yay! Happy Birthday John Cale (yesterday)!
	5:22pm coelacanth: Rabbit, they may be, but as much as i adore them we all know it was a group effort. 'so many creative people at that time. ...and they did inform many people of music that they otherwise would never have heard; and as they did, those cultures did acknowledge it. (as indians playing beatles' songs on traditional instrument...etc)
	5:23pm fred: @RRN63: The way academia works, I think The Beatles reached critical mass, where once mavericks now tenured types hold sway. That says less about their music than about our culture
	5:24pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: There's this guy Howard Goodall on BCC : www.youtube.com... ...saying The Beatles restored Harmony to All of Music - including 'Classical' Music - when it had gone all Avant-garde & Modernist ! I like his exposition a lot - for showing someone like me who isn't musically Technical the specific qualities of The Beatles ('Eleanor Rigby' is Modal - oh, hadn't thot of that!) - but...For a Rawk Rebel, isn't the point that The Beatles expanded & evolved Pop into the Weird ? The opposite, in other words? & - yeah - singling out The Beatles as thee single 'Classic' exalted Artistes in all of Pop/Rawk who achieved anything - that rankles w/ me...
	5:24pm DAVE RAE: Fabio can we hear that John Cale interview?
	5:25pm coelacanth: fred, i'm good with that. it sounds like a good life to me! it's just when someone assumes authority that bothers me. going to school doesn't make one smarter, and sometimes not even more knowledged.
	5:26pm JP: @Coelacanth, Totally agree. Ravi Shankar wouldn't be a household name in the states if it weren't for The Beatles.
	5:26pm Cecile: Blixa Bargeld for a hardware store! That's hilarious!
	5:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It was in fact Blixa who said The Beatles & Pink Floyd deserve great cred for bringing the Avant-garde to Masses.
	5:28pm Cecile: here it is! www.youtube.com...
	5:28pm slugluv1313: Blixa Bargeld -- urging ALL to live very DISTURBING lives -- even while cooking or shopping for hardware!
	5:29pm Cecile: www.youtube.com...
	5:30pm fred: @Coelacanth: Just laugh at anyone who assumes authority (in musical matters), that will weed the good drinking partners from the unredeemable assholes
	5:31pm cory: RRN63, that's a statement i can get behind
	5:33pm Carmichael: Just got back from a meeting. Hope I didn't miss anything good.
	5:33pm JP: @Fred: Forget the parenthetical. Just laugh at anyone who assumes authority, period!
	5:33pm Carmichael: I also swagged for life. I hope I get my little radio thingie soon.
	5:35pm cory: sounds like my job. everything is broken, including the employees
	5:36pm fred: @JP: I think that parenthetical should be rephrased as (unless it holds a gun), not forgotten
	5:37pm Carmichael: Great idea, Fred. Good drinking partners are invaluable.
	5:38pm John M: Scott sure is cussin' a bunch. Gaw-LEE!
	5:38pm coelacanth: fred, i shall try to heed that supreme advice! - i once had a great conversation in a bar that went bad when i said i didn't like "stairway to heaven"! he said i'm just saying it to be contrary, even though i had solid, specific reasons for not liking it. he could not accept it so decided i was full of shit and then rapid-fire asked me about many other such things. ...there was also no way anyone could possibly dislike "hotel california".
	5:39pm Listener Robert: Yes, I too for years thought it was closing theme-opening theme, until Fabio explained it.
	5:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It takes not only skill but practice to verbally articulate things about Music - like Taste. But - I maintain it can be done. Should anyone really want to. (Not to say 'I like it - or 'I don't' aren't valid statements as is...)
	5:44pm melinda: @coelecanth: that's a funny story. No one needs to defend why they don't like a song, in my opinion.
	5:44pm fred: @Carmichael: I just scored a delightful Elijah Craig (Barrel Proof) that was made better by sharing it with the right people. In a way pledging to the station is like that: sharing the good stuff with people who appreciate it
	5:46pm JP: Well said, fred. I know that's certainly a part of my motivation for pledging.
	5:47pm Scott Williams: prize on the plate right now, another Criterion DVD, Howard Brookner's "BURROUGHS" doc! $20 pledge or more to get in the running
	5:47pm coelacanth: i'm not so skilled -especially when i'm half-drunk. -but man, someone telling me i'm lying really gets me. why would i lie about that and then admit that i like some monkees songs! (and other led zeppelin material as well.)
	5:48pm Cecile: I think people who are insecure attack others' musical taste.
	5:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Theodor Adorno's 'Noise' is a pertinent text here. I acknowledge the very considerable talents of the Eagles - & I wonder how I'd react to them differently if I was overexposed to them & force fed them! That is - there is a socio-cultural aspect to Music. It marks Territory. As Pete Townshend was always explicit about - Music is a Weapon...
	5:48pm Greg from ZONE 5: IT BEGINS
	5:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...was *not overexposed... Be a Swag For Lifer folx! A little every month - painless...
	5:50pm cory: whatever happened with that printing the internet bs?
	5:50pm coelacanth: (and here i insert my confession that i do like a handful of early eagles songs!)
	5:51pm melinda: Overexposure can definitely shape our dislikes.
	5:51pm fred: @coelacanth: My best conversation in a bar started with my saying I didn't like whisky, then getting into a conversation about music while tasting different Irish Whiskeys. Turned out the guy was the owner of the bar, so I kinda got a scholarship in whisky, plus a lot about Irish/English nuances, all for free. Still, The Pogues were there the night before and I missed that.
	5:53pm coelacanth: oh that's Great fred! (well, not the last part...)
	5:54pm Carmichael: Don't ever miss a chance to see the Pogues, Fred. Even with Phil Chevron gone. I saw them several times in both Ireland and the US. They are like a firestorm.
	5:54pm cory: while we're talking about it, i could use a pigeon bump
	5:54pm flashbazbo: I'm just feeling that the hipper than. Beatle deniers are living in musical worlds that are actually dependent on Beatles advances. And not just music but the whole delivery systems of their music. Free form radio, regional scenes. Remember this tho: guitar bands are out.
	5:55pm Carmichael: @coel: I feel about the Eagles the same as Lebowski.
	5:55pm coelacanth: (dwelling on...) i was in fact over-exposed to "hotel california"...and now i'd much rather hear the jethro tull song that the eagles stole that chord progression from.
	5:56pm fred: @Carmichael: I did see the Pogues, but learning they had been in my fave pub when I wasn't there really hurt
	5:56pm Carmichael: @Fred: Ow!
	5:57pm cory: btw. i couldn't adopt fabio this year. i hope one of you pick up this dj.
	5:57pm Carmichael: Yay, Guido!
	5:57pm coelacanth: i saw the pogues, but unfortunately without Shane.
	5:57pm Jeff: I say tomato.
	5:58pm Stepchild: Tomago!
	5:58pm mick: hahahahahaha.....taygo maygo
	5:58pm Carmichael: I say ketchup.
	5:58pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I used to talk smack about Sinatra - Rawk Hater - White Jazz - Square generation. Love him now of course...He was before my time so I didn't get it yet. Came to mock but stayed to pray: made fun of Crooning - realized that was because it had 'got inside' me...So younger age groups may well be about The Beatles (like people in British Comedy have made a point of being Not Monty Python for some time now...)
	5:58pm fred: OK, turn that knife, it was Shane era
	👻 5:58pm Ken From Hyde Park: Termater!
	5:59pm Bryce: dayglo faygo
	5:59pm Guido from Cologne: They were calling themself The Inner Space in the beginnings.
	5:59pm Jeff: Bande Canique
	5:59pm Carmichael: Now I say catsup.
	6:00pm coelacanth: saw the pogues at the first "guinness flead" (sp?) so it was kinda ironic that Shane wasn't there.
	6:01pm andreas: pledge failure in your homeland - antella is close to florence
	6:02pm cory: thanks for the great show fabio and scott
	6:02pm coelacanth: Thanks Fabio etc! ciao peeps!
	6:02pm Bryce: i just made ¢15 thanks clay pigeon
	3:32pm raga: Scott, I still get a thrill every week when I hear Giant Man too. I can't believe such a seemingly serious character as Fabio was flicking you in the art house theater, and during such a perfect film as Mulholland Drive, no less! He definitely owes you something in my book...
