WFMU: The Hour of Crap with Don-O: Playlist from January 25, 2019

Listener comments!
	♥ 6:00pm Rich in Washington: Hey, Don-O!
	6:03pm Digger Barnes: i went to see Tron at the cinema. It went way over my head
	6:04pm Digger Barnes: 80s are without a doubt the best decade in music
	6:04pm Don-O: Ahhh! There. Let the bellyaching begin! Oh, and HIS Rich!!
	6:05pm Digger Barnes: blaming Ronald Reagan for 80s pop is getting old
	6:06pm Digger Barnes: 70s pop was way worse than 80s pop
	♥ 6:06pm Rich in Washington: Ah, Neighborhood Rhythms... I painstakingly ripped all those Freeway Records spoken word LPs and put them up at UBUWeb. God. Thousands of tracks, most under a minute.
	♥ 6:07pm βrian: I think I remember they day when the fade-out died.
	6:08pm Don-O: I tried to do a track by track MP3 of my copy of The Voices Of The Angles and I burned out within the first half of the record.
	♥ 6:08pm Rich in Washington: Yeah. They're insane. Also hard to cue up on record.
	6:09pm Don-O: I think it was Mr. Fab's late blog that had the tracks separated....and thank god for that!!!
	♥ 6:10pm Rich in Washington: Oh wow! How did I miss that? Would've saved me a huge headache - not that I didn't ultimately enjoy it.
	6:10pm Martinibomb: Hi Don-o! Hilarious stuff today - thanx!
	♥ 6:10pm Rich in Washington: I also put some rare Negativland radio pieces up there. They came to the station on open reel tapes.
	6:10pm Mr Fab: No, 'twas Rich who did that awesome deed. Much appreciated, Rich
	6:11pm Don-O: Small warning: I think I played one too many Rollins tracks in show.
	6:11pm Don-O: Thanks, Martini B!
	6:13pm Mr Fab: When people say "the '80s", I think, punk/alt-rock, and Golden Age hip-hop, which I loved. But guess most think: "Rick Astley." And that kinda stuff. Which I didn't.
	6:14pm Digger Barnes: Rick Astley's songs were great pop
	♥ 6:15pm βrian: I remember when Black Flag was just a nasty smelling spray that Mom would feverishly spray about the cabin.
	6:15pm Digger Barnes: Anyway, hardly anyone would think Astley, theyd think Madonna, Prince, Jacko
	♥ 6:15pm Rich in Washington: yeah. there was a whole other 80s that most people didn't know about. Towards the end of the 80s, there was this effort by labels to push these fringe acts into the mainstream, finally culminating into the grunge bubble in the early 90s.
	6:17pm Don-O: Bubbles were meant to be burst. Look what happens to Wall Street every 8 to 10 years.
	♥ 6:18pm Rich in Washington: Anyone listen to Rollins' KCRW show? Is it worth listening to?
	♥ 6:19pm βrian: @Rich: "Grunge Bubble." Thank you for that.
	6:19pm grantbob: Mojo!
	♥ 6:19pm Rich in Washington: MOJO!
	♥ 6:19pm Rich in Washington: @βrian: HA! Sounds like a band, donnit?
	6:20pm Mr Fab: Oh yeah, I frequently listen to Rollin's show. Good stuff. it's NOT all old hardcore. In fact, he rarely plays that kinda thing. The Fall, Wire, new experimental oddball stuff, Suicide, Blue Note jazz...a pretty WFMU kinda show.
	6:20pm Don-O: There's a doc on him coming out later this year. I'm pretty sure I'll miss it as I don't live in L. A. anymore.
	♥ 6:21pm Rich in Washington: The documentary Hype is the best examination of the aforementioned grunge bubble.
	6:21pm Mr Fab: Plenty of Mojo in the Sheena stream!
	6:22pm Martinibomb: THIS song rules
	6:22pm Mr Fab: the normals: Do you like '80s music? me: Oh yeah, i saw the Butthole Surfers, like, 5 times! the normals: ???
	♥ 6:23pm Rich in Washington: Totally! Literally my experience!
	♥ 6:25pm Rich in Washington: Godley and Creme were geniuses. Loved their albums...
	6:25pm Mr Fab: shopping malls are pretty much an endangered species nowadays. Mission accomplished, Mojo.
	6:26pm Don-O: I have yet to listen to their Consequences set!! I now know where Negativland got the number 17 from.....I think.
	♥ 6:28pm Rich in Washington: Consequences is kind of hard to listen to in one go. I have this promo version that just has most of the music, minus the Peter Cook bits. I especially love their LPs L, Freeze Frame and Snack Attack.
	♥ 6:28pm Rich in Washington: God. I haven't heard this in eons!
	6:29pm Martinibomb: The only thing I'll miss from Malls are the Arcades but those have moved over to retro arcade specialty venues and they have booze!
	6:30pm Don-O: Sadly, this track is the only interesting track in the soundtrack.
	♥ 6:30pm Rich in Washington: This movie is definitely a time capsule. It's really weirdly dated now.
	♥ 6:30pm βrian: I only miss the silent arcades.
	6:30pm Don-O: .....and as much as I love MTM, I still dig this track!!
	6:31pm Mr Fab: Oh my. I saw "Mondo New York" when it came out. It was ...interesting.
	6:35pm Don-O: I blame the 80's on what they did to Howard The Duck.
	6:36pm Martinibomb: @Don-O that is a good way to put that
	6:39pm Don-O: Trust me, the next 80's show will have a few things I still like from that decade.
	6:40pm Don-O: BTW: Henry still doesn't like U2: www.youtube.com...
	♥ 6:45pm Rich in Washington: Ah, 80s Lou. I remember getting New Sensations when it came out. Woof. Maybe a little better with age, limited availability of new Lou.
	6:46pm Mr Fab: Lou's mid-career renaissance period was golden: "New York," "Songs For Drella" "Magic and Loss.". I saw his "New York tour." Something to tell the grandchildren.
	🎸 ♥ 6:47pm Kat in Chicago: That business about the Statue of Bigotry certainly resonates now
	6:49pm grantbob: Al!
	🎸 ♥ 6:49pm Kat in Chicago: Polka on 2 WFMU streams at the same time!
	♥ 6:49pm Rich in Washington: I love these medleys!
	6:51pm Mr Fab: His grunge-era "Alternative Polka" is especially genius.
	6:55pm Don-O: Al did one more medley in the 80's but it consisted of all Rolling Stones tunes and it was used for his UHF OST
	6:57pm Don-O: Anybody getting polka sick so far?!
	6:57pm grantbob: Thanks Don-O for a really nice hour of crap this week.
	♥ 6:58pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, Don-O! Moving the party over here right after this: www.wfmu.org...
	7:00pm grantbob: I'll be waiting for an hour of Polkacide.
	♥ 1:25pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thumbs up from me! :-)
