Listener comments!
	3:01pm melinda: I was hoping to hear Father's Leg today.
	3:02pm geezerette: :D
	3:02pm khd: hi scott, et.al.
	3:02pm JakeGould: Hey Scott!
	🧩 3:02pm Rev. Turnip Druid: who has carrot cake?
	3:03pm thedunkel: Howdy Howdy Howdy
	3:04pm steve: good afternoon
	3:04pm fred: This Grasshopper track is amazing. RIP Wm
	3:05pm Polyus: Creeps are here.
	🧩 3:05pm Matt from Springfield: Howdy Scott and everyone. Sad to hear about Wm. Berger - "RIP" doesn't work for him, so I'll say: Rise, William, Rise...
	🧩 3:06pm Rev. Turnip Druid: sheesh holy mommy nice grasshopper click.
	3:06pm Scott Williams: g'd'afternoon everyone! Aye, rise Wm, rise - I can't overstate his importance - not just to me (UTMOST importance), but to WFMU at large, and far beyond
	🧩 3:07pm Matt from Springfield: Indeed. I believe he goes back to the Upsala days.
	3:08pm Michael 98145: good soundtrack as the world goes mad - www.msn.com...
	3:08pm Parq: This is great! And yes, William's is a singular loss. I met him once or twice and thought he was quite the guy.
	🧩 3:09pm Matt from Springfield: @Polyus: We sure are! And what great creeps. I forgot my Creep member card, but the guy at the door takes one look at me, and says "Don't worry, you're in!"
	3:09pm Michael 98145: guess i never realized WB was the original music director ...
	3:10pm SeanG: berger got me into some heavy heavy music!
	3:10pm melinda: I heard in an interview aired last week that Wm chose to attend Uppsala specifically because of WFMU.
	3:11pm Greg from ZONE 5: Though I wish I had gotten the chance to know Wm better, I'm beyond thankful that I got to know him.
	3:13pm JakeGould: Logging into say, of all of the recent William Berger tributes, this already sounds like he never left the place. Also, for those who did not know about it there is a tribute LP on Bandcamp from February 2017 that was pretty heartfelt when it was released, even more so know that he’s passed away: “‘Rise William Rise’ is a compilation for the benefit of William (Wm. to his close friends) Berger, longtime WFMU DJ (host of My Castle of Quiet) and proprietor of Prison Tatt Records. Wm. suffered some serious health issues in late 2016. Wm. has been a huge supporter of underground music for decades, indeed his show has been a nexus of music, from the New York area to the rest of the world. The idea for this comp came about spontaneously a few days after we heard the news about Wm.'s health, and within a few weeks it was complete.” oppositerecords.bandcamp.com...
	3:14pm JakeGould: And I mean, “this show” when I say tributes. Thanks Scott!
	🧩 3:14pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Wm had to be among my earlier FMU addictions. Was he on as far back as '97? ... After the gateway drug of Tony Coulter, it was just a fast-growing blur of rabbit-hole goodness.
	3:15pm bobdoesthings: I felt compelled to tune in.. right as a song called "calling all creeps" is playing... UNIVERSE?! are you trying to tell me something!?!?
	3:16pm Carmichael: Heya Scott and music lovers.
	🧩 3:16pm Matt from Springfield: Yes bob, welcome! Forgot your Creep member card? Don't worry, you're in! ;)
	3:18pm Michele: This is amazing!
	3:19pm steve: Rev - dont know when he started but he's on the schedule, show "The Hip Bone w/ Wm Berger", in a 89-90 issue of LCD i was just looking at
	3:20pm Pas Musique: Hello people of Earth.
	3:20pm JakeGould: @steve: Believe he started in 1987.
	3:21pm joe mulligan: What a cool cat Wm was.
	3:21pm Pas Musique: @TurnipDruid...How is your penguin?
	🧩 3:21pm Rev. Turnip Druid: mista Musique!
	3:22pm Chris from DC: Uncle Wiggly!
	🧩 3:22pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Toad!
	3:22pm Chris from DC: PM!
	3:22pm Glenn L: With My. Another incredible Uncle Wiggly song with Wm on Drums!
	3:22pm Pas Musique: Hey Chris@!
	3:22pm Cecile: Another great tribute to Berger.
	3:22pm joe mulligan: Chemical Imbalance was my favorite zine for new music reviews!
	3:22pm Chris from DC: And of course RTD!
	3:23pm Cecile: OMG, they covered my favorite Great Unwashed song.
	3:24pm Cecile: This makes me sad that I didn't pay much attention to stuff besides GBV and jazz in the 90s.
	3:25pm Joe D.: hey Scott - thx for putting me on to Uncle Wiggly, Fly Ashtray, Phoaming Edison et. al, way back when
	3:25pm Cecile: But I just knew him as the black metal DJ who was nice to me.
	🧩 3:27pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Pas: the penguin is looking more than a little hungover, to be honest. Leaving him to his sleep.. and dark dreams of terrible violations..
	🧩 3:27pm Matt from Springfield: SYD.
	3:29pm Glenn L: @Cecile and everyone! youtu.be...
	3:29pm Pas Musique: @Rev.TurnipDruid, @ChrisFromDC The show was epic. Maybe we can submit a proposal to play WFMU. ;)
	3:33pm TehBadDr: Trippy man!
	3:35pm geezerette: This sounds like the world feels.
	3:35pm bloopy: hey scott!
	3:37pm Cecile: this is a great Argent cover.
	3:38pm Cecile: Scott, if the situation comes up on another show, I'd like you to play Argent's "Liar" and dedicate it to the world.
	3:38pm Parq: Hold your hed urp.
	3:40pm Chris from DC: @PM I'd do it again
	🧩 3:40pm Matt from Springfield: Wow, what a track! And a coverversion - it does sound like Argent now that you mention it.
	3:42pm Pas Musique: Spectacular show today!
	3:46pm Michele: Great set Scott ♥️
	3:48pm geezerette: "...Let's face the music, and dance!" :)
	🧩 3:54pm chris: hello, Scott and all. really enjoying the explicit tribute going on. Rise, Wm., Rise!
	🧩 3:55pm Matt from Springfield: Explicit YEAH! to chris!
	🧩 3:58pm Ike: :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( sad
	🧩 3:58pm Matt from Springfield: Very honorable indeed to follow HDS out.
	3:59pm Honeybear: perfect segue there, scott! talk about doing a solid for william
	🧩 3:59pm Matt from Springfield: Pre-Starred :)
	4:00pm Carmichael: Oh yes, I just heard that Harry Dean as left us ...
	4:00pm geezerette: Serenade the wilder angels, Harry Dean.
	4:01pm northguineahills: I hate dealing w/ National Grid. Changing the name on the account has been impossible for the last year +, and today after three operators, I had one just do it. That easy. HDS!
	🧩 4:01pm chris: not a dry eye in the house.
	4:01pm Pas Musique: Harry Dean!
	4:02pm geezerette: Watch "Paris,Texas" and celebrate another singular man.
	🧩 4:03pm Planet Tyler: Repo man's life is always intense
	4:04pm Pas Musique: Paris, Texas is a great film. I got a free bluray copy from the trash!
	4:04pm Roy: Great tribute, Scott. RIP Wm. \m/
	4:04pm Stevel: \m/
	🧩 4:05pm Rev. Turnip Druid: what they \m/'d.
	4:05pm andrewb: heard about William on Friday night from a good friend . Came as a bit of a kick in the gut. Quintessential fmu dj,super knowledgeable and so flippin' nice.
	4:07pm Scott Williams: thanks everybody
	🧩 4:15pm Rev. Turnip Druid: outstanding mic presence as well. Instantly likeable character. Affable curmudgeon. My kind of people. Regret never having met him. So many first exposures to this brain, on the Castle..
	4:17pm Cecile: I know, rev, right? I was hoping the Aphrodite's Polyp brain trust could have a summit with him someday.
	4:17pm Tardigrade: Scott... Excellent show!!!
	🧩 4:19pm Rev. Turnip Druid: indeed, C... also: massive show, this.
	4:22pm steve: people forget just how much Six Finger Satellite ruled
	4:23pm JakeGould: Oh man, these “They Live!” sound effects.
	🧩 4:23pm Rev. Turnip Druid: sounds like a happy saturday at the dog park, rather...
	4:23pm Fuzzy: Put! On! The! Glasses!
	4:23pm Pas Musique: I always liked the last fight scene of Cyborg with Jean-Claude Van Damme. There is tons of funny growling. It's amazing. We once mixed that over Coil's Time Machines release.
	4:24pm bloopy: Hilarious.
	🧩 4:24pm Matt from Springfield: AHH! This was the five minute "gratuitous" fight scene in They Live! Somehow, it just worked :)
	4:24pm V Priceless: haha this is great - recognized it right outta the box - hey Scott, peeps!
	🧩 4:25pm Matt from Springfield: @PM: Nice :)
	🧩 4:25pm Matt from Springfield: WORMS!!!!! \m/
	🧩 4:26pm Matt from Springfield: "When Billboard magazine reviewed the single, it commented, "A weird one. 'The new sound is the sound made by worms.' Strange sound effects go with nonsense lyric. It's a studied attempt to be as screwy as possible. Quien Sabe?" For the flip side, "Fish", Billboard′s review was "Same comment".
	4:27pm JakeGould: “They Live!” is real: • Obey (Brand) • Supreme (Brand) • We Work (Co-Working Space) • “Try ‘Work’” (Message Google displays when you open the “Maps” app.)
	🧩 4:29pm Matt from Springfield: @Jake: They have Lived, We have Slept. Same as it ever is.
	4:30pm JakeGould: I had a horrible sleep last night. So bad that my pants shirt and hat are… ALL BLUE!!! I needed rest!
	🧩 4:31pm Matt from Springfield: @Jake: You could march down a hallway as a sleepy all-blue zombie to this Dracula music quite effectively, though.
	4:32pm Hoggable: C'mon...fight scene???
	4:32pm steve: i think They Live is a masterpiece. i must see movies in a different way that other people, i think it and Repo Man belong on the AFI top 100.
	4:33pm Cecile: aren't they on there already?
	4:34pm Parq: Gee, I can't even guess how long it's been since I've heard "The Sound of Worms" on FMU. If we disqualify the times I heard it on Hova's and Belinda's show, we're probably talking early 80s.
	4:34pm JakeGould: “Repo Man” is great. But–as Scott said last week–“They Live!” did not age well.
	🧩 4:34pm Matt from Springfield: I agree They Live is a masterpiece, and still quite relevant today! While it's not as wildly popular as other Carpenter films, it seems to have the broadest fanbase, of horror/sci-fi/political thriller/satire leaning viewers who can all get behind They Live.
	🧩 4:36pm Matt from Springfield: @Parq: I've learned the song from WFMU, and I've only been listening since '09 - perhaps you were just away from the speaker when it's been playing recently.
	4:37pm Michael 98145: Great show. Thanks, Scott.
	4:37pm Cecile: Virgil Howe, Steve Howe's kid, just passed.
	4:37pm Parq: Matt from, wasn't familiar with "They Live" so I just looked up the synopsis. Man, sure sounds relevant to present-day events!
	4:37pm Chris from DC: @Steve Repo Man and Escape from New York (for some extra Harry Dean Stanton) should be top 100.
	4:37pm geezerette: Stev, I agree completely. Two of my favorite films. "They Live" is also funny while being angry. It's a product of the Reagan / Thatcher era, which makes it extremely relevant. (I LOVE you people!)
	4:37pm steve: ive seen They Live half a dozen times, most recently 1-2 years ago, and i don't get the response that its not aged well... feel like everything silly and fun about it i would have loved as much and for the same reasons if id seen it in the 80s.
	4:37pm JakeGould: But “The Thing?” Holy crap is that still scary.
	4:38pm geezerette: xcuse...Steve.
	4:38pm Michael 98145: @JK, yes, the original is still scary to me
	4:39pm Michael 98145: (@JG :)
	4:39pm Anon Loser: The first 30-60 min of They Live is still good. Like when its all paranoia and piper mouthing off. The rest never was good.
	4:39pm khd: they live is amazing right up until the end when they get to the tv station and then it sort of becomes bad tv sci-fi
	🧩 4:40pm Matt from Springfield: ♥ U geezerette! :D
	4:40pm steve: oh shit Repo Man is playing at Drafthouse Brooklyn tonight for some reason (????!!)
	4:40pm JakeGould: Before any of the gore. That dog at the beginning? The very slow and measured way it walks? That alone scares me.
	4:41pm DreamCricket: Hey Scott, I must check the archives but loving the tribute! Wm. was my hero - I only knew him briefly but he was inspiring and supportive always.
	4:42pm geezerette: Hey, Matt FS! :)
	🧩 4:43pm Matt from Springfield: I still stand by They Live, strong beginning middle and end (with of course some dull moments in between - most films will have those). Of course, you have to worry about people interpreting the story to their own despicable prejudices (just like any strong story can be co-opted): "Bigots Are Trying to Ruin the Movie They Live, Because of Course They Are": www.wired.com...
	4:46pm geezerette: Matt, had no idea! UGH, shudder.
	4:47pm steve: Matt, wow! you gotta be kidding me
	4:48pm Michael 98145: Orcs never give up.
	4:51pm Parq: Matt, holy freaking shit. There really is no limit to what ill-willed people will come up with.
	🧩 4:53pm Matt from Springfield: Yeah, amazing how some will draw parallels to their old bigotries while still being in Deep "Sleep" - in fact it seems THEY want to take over the world while blending in - THEY are those aliens to begin with! (Well, some of them - all kinds of peeps to watch out for. Stay safe, glasses ON, everybody ;)
	4:54pm Chris from DC: Approval for the NZ set.
	4:55pm Andrew Waterloo: Some people go through a lot of lengths to avoid looking in the mirror.
	4:55pm geezerette: Nothing is scarier than reality. Nothing is more compelling.
	4:56pm joe mulligan: love this EP Scott, great show!
	4:57pm Parq: Well, really, "I know you are but what am I" has been a major right wing strategy for some time now. Feminists are Nazis. Democrats photoshop lying images of popular GOP figures. Obama's victory is the result of election fraud. Liberals are motivated solly by hat eand mustrust. And so forth.
	4:57pm medson: Hola Scott. Playlist looks great. Have to chat chase the archive
	4:58pm Parq: Dang, hit "post" instead of "edit". Let's try it again: Well, really, "I know you are but what am I" has been a major right wing strategy for some time now. Feminists are Nazis. Democrats Photoshop lying images of popular GOP figures. Obama's victory is the result of election fraud. Liberals are motivated solely by hate and mistrust. And so forth.
	4:59pm Michael 98145: @Parq, and don't forget EVERY public protest is really funded by nefarious sources.
	4:59pm Andrew Waterloo: It's the authoritarian mentality. It's never really a question of what is, but a question of who is in control. If you don't like the reality, just assume the wrong people are in control.
	5:00pm Parq: Right. Left wing activism is always funded by George Soros (or whoever) and populated by hired fill-ins.
	🧩 5:00pm chris: work calls. :( thanks, Scott! see youses.
	🧩 5:00pm Matt from Springfield: @Michael: I'm still waiting for my George Soros check :( - has anyone else received theirs? Is there some customer service email he has for missing protest payments??
	🧩 5:01pm Matt from Springfield: Have a good day, youse Chris!
	5:01pm Andrew Waterloo: Ironically, the AstroTurfers in the nice bus are still inclined to make fun of the other side for having a not-so-nice bus and home made signs.
	5:01pm Glenn L: Love that Xpressway 7" comp! Played it constantly when it first was released!
	5:02pm Parq: They key isn't just accusing the left of excesses. It's accusing the left of exactly the excesses that keep the right in power.
	🧩 5:02pm Matt from Springfield: Maybe if those people smoked real grass, instead of AstroTurf, they could be more amiable - that turf has got to be toxic when lit...
	5:03pm Michael 98145: heh
	5:05pm SeanG: epic show dude!
	🧩 5:06pm Matt from Springfield: Wooooo, trippy SOoA!
	5:11pm Cecile: 6 organs!
	5:15pm common: how goes it, all?
	🧩 5:17pm Matt from Springfield: Goes fine today, common! Yerself?
	5:19pm Michael 98145: Thanks for the deep dive today, Scott W
	5:22pm McGreivey: Oh. I have this Mayo Thompson record, but I forgot about it. I got it when it cane out in Drag City, listened to it a couple times, liked it, filed it. I should get it out.
	5:23pm McGreivey: Ditto for Uncle Wiggly
	5:23pm Scott Williams: @McGreivey, yer damn right!
	5:24pm Glenn L: Another classic Uncle Wiggly Wm Berger song! Wm's Telecaster shining through!
	🧩 5:25pm Matt from Springfield: EXCELLENT Uncle Wiggly! Air guitarin/bassin/drummin along now!
	5:26pm khd: i've been criminally unfamiliar with regards to Undle Wiggly and appreciate all the DJs playing them in tribute - solid stuff...
	5:28pm northguineahills: same here, khd.
	5:28pm McGreivey: I actually never made the Uncle Wiggly/ Wm. B connection until recently.
	5:29pm Carmichael: Same here, McGreivey.
	5:29pm McGreivey: and Mayo was also in Pere Ubu for a record or two, wasn't he?
	5:30pm geezerette: God that was gorgeous. All of it.
	5:31pm Scott Williams: @McGreivey, yup he were
	5:31pm Cecile: JEFFREY I HEAR YOU
	5:34pm Cecile: Robin Amos was in this band, right?
	5:35pm Scott Williams: @Cecile. yep, on synth
	5:38pm McGreivey: Big Epic is rather motirik.
	5:38pm Glenn L: The ice cream truck has passed you by again.
	5:38pm listener monica: me and howie was just driving back from sandy hook. grooving on your sets, Scott!
	5:40pm Glenn L: Such a great drummer James Kavoussi!
	5:40pm Scott Williams: Not so bad yourself, Glenn L!
	🧩 5:41pm Matt from Springfield: This is wonderful stuff, shame I was unaware of Wm. Berger's band Uncle Wiggly until now. His memory plays on forever.
	5:41pm McGreivey: but it's not motorik anymore
	5:41pm Carmichael: There's a relationship here with the Orange Peels, yes?
	5:41pm Chop Scott: Fantastic show Scott--Cheers!
	5:41pm geezerette: Scott, have to go but want to thank you for a perfect show.
	5:42pm Glenn L: Thank you, Scott!
	5:42pm Scott Williams: Chop Scott! Monica & Howie!
	🧩 5:42pm Matt from Springfield: Thanks for listening to it with us, geezerette! Have a good evening!
	🧩 5:43pm Matt from Springfield: HUGE props for covering "You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)" - especially in a live lounge style! :D
	5:43pm spodiodi: Nice one.
	5:44pm northguineahills: This is a genius cover!
	5:44pm McGreivey: hey, Scott,... I suppose there's not time to play Tommy in 7 Minutes now?
	5:44pm Scott Williams: ladies & gentlemen, Dave the Spazz right there
	5:45pm Glenn L: Love Spazzes mumbling / grumbling at the end of this.
	🧩 5:45pm Matt from Springfield: :D
	5:47pm northguineahills: Damn straight, Glenn!
	🧩 5:50pm Matt from Springfield: This is what happens when you eat meatloaf that F. Zappa threw at the sun.
	5:51pm Roberto: Wow there's another Butterscott song!
	🧩 5:54pm Matt from Springfield: Very nice (explicit) tribute to the Great Wm. Berger - thanks for sharing it with us, Scott. Have a good evening, everyone!
	🧩 5:57pm Matt from Springfield: Nice choice for Weather Warning background music.
	5:57pm Bas NL: Thanks Scott! An awesome tribute!
	5:58pm Glenn L: Great tribute, Scott! Thank you for this lovely stroll down addled memory lane! Wish it were under better circumstances. RIP, Wm. We miss you!
	🧩 5:58pm Matt from Springfield: Goodnight Sweet Prince. Say hi to HDS and Syd B. (et al) for us...
	5:58pm Michael 98145: Well done.
	5:59pm Greg from ZONE 5: Thanks so much Scott!
	5:59pm northguineahills: Thanks Scott!
	10:44pm Michael Anzalone: Thanks for playing the happy cat and UW. Bill was an amazing band mate and talent. Heartbroken that he is gone. More Happy cat please. Fyi: He had a home recorded song called Bunny Race. It is sweet. Would love for that to resurface. Thx!!!

Listener comments!
	3:01pm melinda: I was hoping to hear Father's Leg today.
	3:02pm geezerette: :D
	3:02pm khd: hi scott, et.al.
	3:02pm JakeGould: Hey Scott!
	🧩 3:02pm Rev. Turnip Druid: who has carrot cake?
	3:03pm thedunkel: Howdy Howdy Howdy
	3:04pm steve: good afternoon
	3:04pm fred: This Grasshopper track is amazing. RIP Wm
	3:05pm Polyus: Creeps are here.
	🧩 3:05pm Matt from Springfield: Howdy Scott and everyone. Sad to hear about Wm. Berger - "RIP" doesn't work for him, so I'll say: Rise, William, Rise...
	🧩 3:06pm Rev. Turnip Druid: sheesh holy mommy nice grasshopper click.
	3:06pm Scott Williams: g'd'afternoon everyone! Aye, rise Wm, rise - I can't overstate his importance - not just to me (UTMOST importance), but to WFMU at large, and far beyond
	🧩 3:07pm Matt from Springfield: Indeed. I believe he goes back to the Upsala days.
	3:08pm Michael 98145: good soundtrack as the world goes mad - www.msn.com...
	3:08pm Parq: This is great! And yes, William's is a singular loss. I met him once or twice and thought he was quite the guy.
	🧩 3:09pm Matt from Springfield: @Polyus: We sure are! And what great creeps. I forgot my Creep member card, but the guy at the door takes one look at me, and says "Don't worry, you're in!"
	3:09pm Michael 98145: guess i never realized WB was the original music director ...
	3:10pm SeanG: berger got me into some heavy heavy music!
	3:10pm melinda: I heard in an interview aired last week that Wm chose to attend Uppsala specifically because of WFMU.
	3:11pm Greg from ZONE 5: Though I wish I had gotten the chance to know Wm better, I'm beyond thankful that I got to know him.
	3:13pm JakeGould: Logging into say, of all of the recent William Berger tributes, this already sounds like he never left the place. Also, for those who did not know about it there is a tribute LP on Bandcamp from February 2017 that was pretty heartfelt when it was released, even more so know that he’s passed away: “‘Rise William Rise’ is a compilation for the benefit of William (Wm. to his close friends) Berger, longtime WFMU DJ (host of My Castle of Quiet) and proprietor of Prison Tatt Records. Wm. suffered some serious health issues in late 2016. Wm. has been a huge supporter of underground music for decades, indeed his show has been a nexus of music, from the New York area to the rest of the world. The idea for this comp came about spontaneously a few days after we heard the news about Wm.'s health, and within a few weeks it was complete.” oppositerecords.bandcamp.com...
	3:14pm JakeGould: And I mean, “this show” when I say tributes. Thanks Scott!
	🧩 3:14pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Wm had to be among my earlier FMU addictions. Was he on as far back as '97? ... After the gateway drug of Tony Coulter, it was just a fast-growing blur of rabbit-hole goodness.
	3:15pm bobdoesthings: I felt compelled to tune in.. right as a song called "calling all creeps" is playing... UNIVERSE?! are you trying to tell me something!?!?
	3:16pm Carmichael: Heya Scott and music lovers.
	🧩 3:16pm Matt from Springfield: Yes bob, welcome! Forgot your Creep member card? Don't worry, you're in! ;)
	3:18pm Michele: This is amazing!
	3:19pm steve: Rev - dont know when he started but he's on the schedule, show "The Hip Bone w/ Wm Berger", in a 89-90 issue of LCD i was just looking at
	3:20pm Pas Musique: Hello people of Earth.
	3:20pm JakeGould: @steve: Believe he started in 1987.
	3:21pm joe mulligan: What a cool cat Wm was.
	3:21pm Pas Musique: @TurnipDruid...How is your penguin?
	🧩 3:21pm Rev. Turnip Druid: mista Musique!
	3:22pm Chris from DC: Uncle Wiggly!
	🧩 3:22pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Toad!
	3:22pm Chris from DC: PM!
	3:22pm Glenn L: With My. Another incredible Uncle Wiggly song with Wm on Drums!
	3:22pm Pas Musique: Hey Chris@!
	3:22pm Cecile: Another great tribute to Berger.
	3:22pm joe mulligan: Chemical Imbalance was my favorite zine for new music reviews!
	3:22pm Chris from DC: And of course RTD!
	3:23pm Cecile: OMG, they covered my favorite Great Unwashed song.
	3:24pm Cecile: This makes me sad that I didn't pay much attention to stuff besides GBV and jazz in the 90s.
	3:25pm Joe D.: hey Scott - thx for putting me on to Uncle Wiggly, Fly Ashtray, Phoaming Edison et. al, way back when
	3:25pm Cecile: But I just knew him as the black metal DJ who was nice to me.
	🧩 3:27pm Rev. Turnip Druid: Pas: the penguin is looking more than a little hungover, to be honest. Leaving him to his sleep.. and dark dreams of terrible violations..
	🧩 3:27pm Matt from Springfield: SYD.
	3:29pm Glenn L: @Cecile and everyone! youtu.be...
	3:29pm Pas Musique: @Rev.TurnipDruid, @ChrisFromDC The show was epic. Maybe we can submit a proposal to play WFMU. ;)
	3:33pm TehBadDr: Trippy man!
	3:35pm geezerette: This sounds like the world feels.
	3:35pm bloopy: hey scott!
	3:37pm Cecile: this is a great Argent cover.
	3:38pm Cecile: Scott, if the situation comes up on another show, I'd like you to play Argent's "Liar" and dedicate it to the world.
	3:38pm Parq: Hold your hed urp.
	3:40pm Chris from DC: @PM I'd do it again
	🧩 3:40pm Matt from Springfield: Wow, what a track! And a coverversion - it does sound like Argent now that you mention it.
	3:42pm Pas Musique: Spectacular show today!
	3:46pm Michele: Great set Scott ♥️
	3:48pm geezerette: "...Let's face the music, and dance!" :)
	🧩 3:54pm chris: hello, Scott and all. really enjoying the explicit tribute going on. Rise, Wm., Rise!
	🧩 3:55pm Matt from Springfield: Explicit YEAH! to chris!
	🧩 3:58pm Ike: :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( sad
	🧩 3:58pm Matt from Springfield: Very honorable indeed to follow HDS out.
	3:59pm Honeybear: perfect segue there, scott! talk about doing a solid for william
	🧩 3:59pm Matt from Springfield: Pre-Starred :)
	4:00pm Carmichael: Oh yes, I just heard that Harry Dean as left us ...
	4:00pm geezerette: Serenade the wilder angels, Harry Dean.
	4:01pm northguineahills: I hate dealing w/ National Grid. Changing the name on the account has been impossible for the last year +, and today after three operators, I had one just do it. That easy. HDS!
	🧩 4:01pm chris: not a dry eye in the house.
	4:01pm Pas Musique: Harry Dean!
	4:02pm geezerette: Watch "Paris,Texas" and celebrate another singular man.
	🧩 4:03pm Planet Tyler: Repo man's life is always intense
	4:04pm Pas Musique: Paris, Texas is a great film. I got a free bluray copy from the trash!
	4:04pm Roy: Great tribute, Scott. RIP Wm. \m/
	4:04pm Stevel: \m/
	🧩 4:05pm Rev. Turnip Druid: what they \m/'d.
	4:05pm andrewb: heard about William on Friday night from a good friend . Came as a bit of a kick in the gut. Quintessential fmu dj,super knowledgeable and so flippin' nice.
	4:07pm Scott Williams: thanks everybody
	🧩 4:15pm Rev. Turnip Druid: outstanding mic presence as well. Instantly likeable character. Affable curmudgeon. My kind of people. Regret never having met him. So many first exposures to this brain, on the Castle..
	4:17pm Cecile: I know, rev, right? I was hoping the Aphrodite's Polyp brain trust could have a summit with him someday.
	4:17pm Tardigrade: Scott... Excellent show!!!
	🧩 4:19pm Rev. Turnip Druid: indeed, C... also: massive show, this.
	4:22pm steve: people forget just how much Six Finger Satellite ruled
	4:23pm JakeGould: Oh man, these “They Live!” sound effects.
	🧩 4:23pm Rev. Turnip Druid: sounds like a happy saturday at the dog park, rather...
	4:23pm Fuzzy: Put! On! The! Glasses!
	4:23pm Pas Musique: I always liked the last fight scene of Cyborg with Jean-Claude Van Damme. There is tons of funny growling. It's amazing. We once mixed that over Coil's Time Machines release.
	4:24pm bloopy: Hilarious.
	🧩 4:24pm Matt from Springfield: AHH! This was the five minute "gratuitous" fight scene in They Live! Somehow, it just worked :)
	4:24pm V Priceless: haha this is great - recognized it right outta the box - hey Scott, peeps!
	🧩 4:25pm Matt from Springfield: @PM: Nice :)
	🧩 4:25pm Matt from Springfield: WORMS!!!!! \m/
	🧩 4:26pm Matt from Springfield: "When Billboard magazine reviewed the single, it commented, "A weird one. 'The new sound is the sound made by worms.' Strange sound effects go with nonsense lyric. It's a studied attempt to be as screwy as possible. Quien Sabe?" For the flip side, "Fish", Billboard′s review was "Same comment".
	4:27pm JakeGould: “They Live!” is real: • Obey (Brand) • Supreme (Brand) • We Work (Co-Working Space) • “Try ‘Work’” (Message Google displays when you open the “Maps” app.)
	🧩 4:29pm Matt from Springfield: @Jake: They have Lived, We have Slept. Same as it ever is.
	4:30pm JakeGould: I had a horrible sleep last night. So bad that my pants shirt and hat are… ALL BLUE!!! I needed rest!
	🧩 4:31pm Matt from Springfield: @Jake: You could march down a hallway as a sleepy all-blue zombie to this Dracula music quite effectively, though.
	4:32pm Hoggable: C'mon...fight scene???
	4:32pm steve: i think They Live is a masterpiece. i must see movies in a different way that other people, i think it and Repo Man belong on the AFI top 100.
	4:33pm Cecile: aren't they on there already?
	4:34pm Parq: Gee, I can't even guess how long it's been since I've heard "The Sound of Worms" on FMU. If we disqualify the times I heard it on Hova's and Belinda's show, we're probably talking early 80s.
	4:34pm JakeGould: “Repo Man” is great. But–as Scott said last week–“They Live!” did not age well.
	🧩 4:34pm Matt from Springfield: I agree They Live is a masterpiece, and still quite relevant today! While it's not as wildly popular as other Carpenter films, it seems to have the broadest fanbase, of horror/sci-fi/political thriller/satire leaning viewers who can all get behind They Live.
	🧩 4:36pm Matt from Springfield: @Parq: I've learned the song from WFMU, and I've only been listening since '09 - perhaps you were just away from the speaker when it's been playing recently.
	4:37pm Michael 98145: Great show. Thanks, Scott.
	4:37pm Cecile: Virgil Howe, Steve Howe's kid, just passed.
	4:37pm Parq: Matt from, wasn't familiar with "They Live" so I just looked up the synopsis. Man, sure sounds relevant to present-day events!
	4:37pm Chris from DC: @Steve Repo Man and Escape from New York (for some extra Harry Dean Stanton) should be top 100.
	4:37pm geezerette: Stev, I agree completely. Two of my favorite films. "They Live" is also funny while being angry. It's a product of the Reagan / Thatcher era, which makes it extremely relevant. (I LOVE you people!)
	4:37pm steve: ive seen They Live half a dozen times, most recently 1-2 years ago, and i don't get the response that its not aged well... feel like everything silly and fun about it i would have loved as much and for the same reasons if id seen it in the 80s.
	4:37pm JakeGould: But “The Thing?” Holy crap is that still scary.
	4:38pm geezerette: xcuse...Steve.
	4:38pm Michael 98145: @JK, yes, the original is still scary to me
	4:39pm Michael 98145: (@JG :)
	4:39pm Anon Loser: The first 30-60 min of They Live is still good. Like when its all paranoia and piper mouthing off. The rest never was good.
	4:39pm khd: they live is amazing right up until the end when they get to the tv station and then it sort of becomes bad tv sci-fi
	🧩 4:40pm Matt from Springfield: ♥ U geezerette! :D
	4:40pm steve: oh shit Repo Man is playing at Drafthouse Brooklyn tonight for some reason (????!!)
	4:40pm JakeGould: Before any of the gore. That dog at the beginning? The very slow and measured way it walks? That alone scares me.
	4:41pm DreamCricket: Hey Scott, I must check the archives but loving the tribute! Wm. was my hero - I only knew him briefly but he was inspiring and supportive always.
	4:42pm geezerette: Hey, Matt FS! :)
	🧩 4:43pm Matt from Springfield: I still stand by They Live, strong beginning middle and end (with of course some dull moments in between - most films will have those). Of course, you have to worry about people interpreting the story to their own despicable prejudices (just like any strong story can be co-opted): "Bigots Are Trying to Ruin the Movie They Live, Because of Course They Are": www.wired.com...
	4:46pm geezerette: Matt, had no idea! UGH, shudder.
	4:47pm steve: Matt, wow! you gotta be kidding me
	4:48pm Michael 98145: Orcs never give up.
	4:51pm Parq: Matt, holy freaking shit. There really is no limit to what ill-willed people will come up with.
	🧩 4:53pm Matt from Springfield: Yeah, amazing how some will draw parallels to their old bigotries while still being in Deep "Sleep" - in fact it seems THEY want to take over the world while blending in - THEY are those aliens to begin with! (Well, some of them - all kinds of peeps to watch out for. Stay safe, glasses ON, everybody ;)
	4:54pm Chris from DC: Approval for the NZ set.
	4:55pm Andrew Waterloo: Some people go through a lot of lengths to avoid looking in the mirror.
	4:55pm geezerette: Nothing is scarier than reality. Nothing is more compelling.
	4:56pm joe mulligan: love this EP Scott, great show!
	4:57pm Parq: Well, really, "I know you are but what am I" has been a major right wing strategy for some time now. Feminists are Nazis. Democrats photoshop lying images of popular GOP figures. Obama's victory is the result of election fraud. Liberals are motivated solly by hat eand mustrust. And so forth.
	4:57pm medson: Hola Scott. Playlist looks great. Have to chat chase the archive
	4:58pm Parq: Dang, hit "post" instead of "edit". Let's try it again: Well, really, "I know you are but what am I" has been a major right wing strategy for some time now. Feminists are Nazis. Democrats Photoshop lying images of popular GOP figures. Obama's victory is the result of election fraud. Liberals are motivated solely by hate and mistrust. And so forth.
	4:59pm Michael 98145: @Parq, and don't forget EVERY public protest is really funded by nefarious sources.
	4:59pm Andrew Waterloo: It's the authoritarian mentality. It's never really a question of what is, but a question of who is in control. If you don't like the reality, just assume the wrong people are in control.
	5:00pm Parq: Right. Left wing activism is always funded by George Soros (or whoever) and populated by hired fill-ins.
	🧩 5:00pm chris: work calls. :( thanks, Scott! see youses.
	🧩 5:00pm Matt from Springfield: @Michael: I'm still waiting for my George Soros check :( - has anyone else received theirs? Is there some customer service email he has for missing protest payments??
	🧩 5:01pm Matt from Springfield: Have a good day, youse Chris!
	5:01pm Andrew Waterloo: Ironically, the AstroTurfers in the nice bus are still inclined to make fun of the other side for having a not-so-nice bus and home made signs.
	5:01pm Glenn L: Love that Xpressway 7" comp! Played it constantly when it first was released!
	5:02pm Parq: They key isn't just accusing the left of excesses. It's accusing the left of exactly the excesses that keep the right in power.
	🧩 5:02pm Matt from Springfield: Maybe if those people smoked real grass, instead of AstroTurf, they could be more amiable - that turf has got to be toxic when lit...
	5:03pm Michael 98145: heh
	5:05pm SeanG: epic show dude!
	🧩 5:06pm Matt from Springfield: Wooooo, trippy SOoA!
	5:11pm Cecile: 6 organs!
	5:15pm common: how goes it, all?
	🧩 5:17pm Matt from Springfield: Goes fine today, common! Yerself?
	5:19pm Michael 98145: Thanks for the deep dive today, Scott W
	5:22pm McGreivey: Oh. I have this Mayo Thompson record, but I forgot about it. I got it when it cane out in Drag City, listened to it a couple times, liked it, filed it. I should get it out.
	5:23pm McGreivey: Ditto for Uncle Wiggly
	5:23pm Scott Williams: @McGreivey, yer damn right!
	5:24pm Glenn L: Another classic Uncle Wiggly Wm Berger song! Wm's Telecaster shining through!
	🧩 5:25pm Matt from Springfield: EXCELLENT Uncle Wiggly! Air guitarin/bassin/drummin along now!
	5:26pm khd: i've been criminally unfamiliar with regards to Undle Wiggly and appreciate all the DJs playing them in tribute - solid stuff...
	5:28pm northguineahills: same here, khd.
	5:28pm McGreivey: I actually never made the Uncle Wiggly/ Wm. B connection until recently.
	5:29pm Carmichael: Same here, McGreivey.
	5:29pm McGreivey: and Mayo was also in Pere Ubu for a record or two, wasn't he?
	5:30pm geezerette: God that was gorgeous. All of it.
	5:31pm Scott Williams: @McGreivey, yup he were
	5:31pm Cecile: JEFFREY I HEAR YOU
	5:34pm Cecile: Robin Amos was in this band, right?
	5:35pm Scott Williams: @Cecile. yep, on synth
	5:38pm McGreivey: Big Epic is rather motirik.
	5:38pm Glenn L: The ice cream truck has passed you by again.
	5:38pm listener monica: me and howie was just driving back from sandy hook. grooving on your sets, Scott!
	5:40pm Glenn L: Such a great drummer James Kavoussi!
	5:40pm Scott Williams: Not so bad yourself, Glenn L!
	🧩 5:41pm Matt from Springfield: This is wonderful stuff, shame I was unaware of Wm. Berger's band Uncle Wiggly until now. His memory plays on forever.
	5:41pm McGreivey: but it's not motorik anymore
	5:41pm Carmichael: There's a relationship here with the Orange Peels, yes?
	5:41pm Chop Scott: Fantastic show Scott--Cheers!
	5:41pm geezerette: Scott, have to go but want to thank you for a perfect show.
	5:42pm Glenn L: Thank you, Scott!
	5:42pm Scott Williams: Chop Scott! Monica & Howie!
	🧩 5:42pm Matt from Springfield: Thanks for listening to it with us, geezerette! Have a good evening!
	🧩 5:43pm Matt from Springfield: HUGE props for covering "You Know My Name (Look Up The Number)" - especially in a live lounge style! :D
	5:43pm spodiodi: Nice one.
	5:44pm northguineahills: This is a genius cover!
	5:44pm McGreivey: hey, Scott,... I suppose there's not time to play Tommy in 7 Minutes now?
	5:44pm Scott Williams: ladies & gentlemen, Dave the Spazz right there
	5:45pm Glenn L: Love Spazzes mumbling / grumbling at the end of this.
	🧩 5:45pm Matt from Springfield: :D
	5:47pm northguineahills: Damn straight, Glenn!
	🧩 5:50pm Matt from Springfield: This is what happens when you eat meatloaf that F. Zappa threw at the sun.
	5:51pm Roberto: Wow there's another Butterscott song!
	🧩 5:54pm Matt from Springfield: Very nice (explicit) tribute to the Great Wm. Berger - thanks for sharing it with us, Scott. Have a good evening, everyone!
	🧩 5:57pm Matt from Springfield: Nice choice for Weather Warning background music.
	5:57pm Bas NL: Thanks Scott! An awesome tribute!
	5:58pm Glenn L: Great tribute, Scott! Thank you for this lovely stroll down addled memory lane! Wish it were under better circumstances. RIP, Wm. We miss you!
	🧩 5:58pm Matt from Springfield: Goodnight Sweet Prince. Say hi to HDS and Syd B. (et al) for us...
