WFMU: Music Of Mind Control with Micah: Playlist from June 22, 2021

Listener comments!
	♥ 5:54pm G: Rockin' Witnesses
	💆 ♥ 6:01pm ultradamno: Saw yesterday Allison Mack is really working to get a break on her sentence now.
	6:03pm Listener Robert: She should do endorsements for a certain brand of anti-peptic-ulcer drug.
	♥ 6:03pm loveless: I'm scared, this sounds like the soundtrack to a horror movie. Hell-o all.
	6:05pm Listener Robert: During the Gough and Millar years of "Smallville", I always thought the DC comics characters should've been gradually eased off the stage and the show focused on Ms. Mack's character.
	💆 ♥ 6:06pm ultradamno: This is the most seamless transition from Spin Age Blasters yet, which is saying something.
	💆 ♥ 6:07pm tim from washington: I dug that!
	6:07pm Doug in JC: ultradamno is that a ... compliment?
	♥ 6:08pm Baja Joe: Hidey ho Starseeds.
	♥ 6:09pm melinda: hi folks
	💆 ♥ 6:09pm dale: this sounds like velvet underground. but i like this better.
	6:10pm ron-ji: Hello, all. I am alarmed by how much I like this shortcake.
	💆 ♥ 6:11pm dale: isn't hopsalot and sourgrapes gonna get a mention?
	💆 ♥ 6:11pm ultradamno: @Doug It was one of the most enjoyable tunes played on this show. I'm getting more Beat Happening off this than VU
	6:11pm Fox: I was gonna make a joke about it being a "very special episode" like Facts of Life where it had a creepy molester or something, but then I realized it's the CoLDS, so yeah, probably, huh?
	♥ 6:15pm melinda: this is fun
	💆 ♥ 6:15pm DjLorraine: Last weeks show included songs from The Farm. I had a friend that lived there. He just recently moved to Rockland county.
	💆 ♥ 6:16pm ultradamno: We've gone from Mouldy Peaches to Bjork remix album to mock Elvis. This cult is covering a lot of bases.
	💆 ♥ 6:16pm dale: jan brady as a teenage prostitute?
	6:17pm ron-ji: What we’ve heard so far reminds me of the Tooth & Nail label of the 90s, in that every conceivable secular genre (in T&N’s case, shoegaze, death metal, punk) could be Christianized.
	💆 ♥ 6:18pm tim from washington: @Fox - hahaha!
	💆 ♥ 6:18pm dale: i wish more christians would stop making christian music.
	💆 ♥ 6:18pm ultradamno: David Thomas
	💆 ♥ 6:21pm ultradamno: My aunt was a witness. It largely tore her family apart.
	6:21pm bobobob Dublon: im a musician but im also in the Jehovah Witness Protection Program
	♥ 6:27pm melinda: I had Helen Reddy too
	💆 ♥ 6:27pm tim from washington: Is the drummer named "Rat"?
	♥ 6:28pm micah: Rhett
	💆 ♥ 6:33pm tim from washington: Thanks, Micah!
	6:34pm brainiac: My doorbell rang at the top of the show... When I answered there was no one there, but when I came back to the computer the show was half over.
	💆 ♥ 6:36pm tim from washington: I just followed the link to Nuclear Gopher. How did Rhett pass?
	6:37pm Glistener MW: Does the streaming version of the album still exist online? I love 1990s web A/V aesthetic and would love to hear it in that low quality!
	♥ 6:37pm micah: he had a leg wound that went septic, or something to that effect
	💆 ♥ 6:37pm dale: sounds like the republican party.
	♥ 6:38pm micah: probably not MW but maybe ryan has a backup version
	💆 ♥ 6:40pm (Murakami Whywolf))): I think it was in 1997 WFMU was streaming with TrueSpeech encoding. Then came RealAudio (1999?), then MPEG Level 3 (2004?), then AAC (2018?).
	6:41pm Sam: The only difference between them and the mafia is they don’t actually literally kill you.
	6:42pm brainiac: Getting disfellowshipped is taking Minnesota nice to the extreme.
	💆 ♥ 6:42pm tim from washington: Man, how sad.
	💆 ♥ 6:43pm (((Murakami Whywolf): brainiac: That doorbell was, of course, rung by the Phantom Witnesses who didn't want you to listen to this hour. Savour your partial victory now, and then full via the archive.
	6:44pm Sam: “Fear knocked at the door. Faith answered. There was no-one there.” - Christopher Moltisanti
	6:44pm brainiac: I neglected to add there was a tingling in my buttocks. 👀
	6:45pm Listener Robert: Ironically is the way to read "1984".
	💆 ♥ 6:45pm ultradamno: My nephew told me once that during the brief period he could live with his mother after her becoming a witness that she and her husband would polish off a gallon of vodka a night.
	6:47pm Sam: The Blind Watchtower
	💆 ♥ 6:47pm (Murakami Whywolf))): 'The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was getting people to like and subscribe.'---9600Baud-elaire.
	💆 ♥ 6:49pm (((Murakami Whywolf): brainiac: The funniest thing of which I can think to say about that is 'That was I.' but it wasn't. It was probably the Ghostly Adventists.
	💆 ♥ 6:50pm ultradamno: I hadn't heard that, but I remember a long time ago evangelists claiming the smurfs, having blue skin and black lips, were corpses that promoted necrophilia
	6:50pm Sam: Ha, even the smurf was like these guys are nuts
	♥ 6:50pm melinda: this is the best rumor
	6:51pm brainiac: I honestly think I heard that Smurf story somewhere when I was a kid.
	💆 ♥ 6:51pm dale: swearing up a blue streak.
	💆 ♥ 6:51pm tim from washington: Screw the Smurfs! They stole their theme song melody from J Geils Band's "Angel In A Centerfold"
	6:52pm Sam: But the muppets are perfectly holy
	♥ 6:53pm melinda: @tim haha
	💆 ♥ 6:53pm (Murakami Whywolf))): I read that evangelicals (who, incidentally, hate J.W.) were spreading the rumour that Smurfs were gay men who'd drowned themselves. I can neither consmurf or smurnye this.
	💆 ♥ 6:53pm tim from washington: Thanks Micah. That was super cool. Ryan and Scott seem like really thoughtful awesome people.
	6:54pm Sam: The teletubbies are another evil bunch that turn kids gay
	6:54pm ?: Rad music, to be sure.
	♥ 6:55pm melinda: I like this
	💆 ♥ 6:55pm ultradamno: Drowned themselves, geez evangelicals, autoerotic asphyxiation is RIGHT THERE!
	6:55pm queems: i’m really into this song
	6:56pm queems: giving me sea and cake vibes
	💆 ♥ 6:56pm (((Murakami Whywolf): tim from washington: I heard a recording supposed to be from the 1950s (from a fanatickal home recordist whose family rented a room to an old Chasid) of a Chasidic niggun (wordless melody) that is _exactly_ the opening of {the "Banana Splits" theme}/"Buffalo Soldier".
	6:57pm Old Dave: Perfect Cure copy band, but irritating in a way
	💆 ♥ 6:58pm tim from washington: Hahaha - Murakami.
	6:58pm brainiac: Thank Micah! Cool show.
	💆 ♥ 6:58pm tim from washington: Thanks again, Micah!
	6:58pm Zetti: Thanks.
	💆 ♥ 7:08pm (Murakami Whywolf))): Wait, no, I've misremembered it, probably because of the 'Hoy yoy yoys'. What I _did_ hear was a niggun very obviously based on "Miserlou", which is not suprising because it was an incredibly popular song from around 1920 onward with Jews in Roumania, Bulgaria, Turkey…as well as with Turks, Armenians, Arabic-speakers….
