Listener comments!
	7:57pm Rich in Washington: I don't know what I'm doing but that's never stopped me before.
	8:00pm ironybread: I don't know what ANYONE is doing! But I'll be there!
	8:01pm Rich in Washington: Here we go!
	8:01pm ultradamno: Rich! Diggocrates!
	8:01pm ultradamno: RIP Ms. Lane!
	8:02pm Rich in Washington: ironybread! ultradamno!
	8:02pm HyperDose: New speed bumps?
	8:02pm ultradamno: Jesus Almost Got Me is a good one
	8:02pm Scott67: The Aussie theme continues! Nick!!!
	8:02pm Rich in Washington: HyperDose! Scott67!
	8:03pm chresti: Hi crate likkers!
	8:03pm Rich in Washington: chresti!
	8:03pm Scott67: I have been very drunk to this song several times.
	8:04pm ultradamno: Why a rainbow theme for the threat of tire damage?
	8:04pm Scott67: G'day to a Lung full of Riches! ✌😎🌏🌞
	8:05pm Rich in Washington: I believe it's actually a surface to deter people from camping or sleeping under a bridge. Nice, huh?
	8:05pm Rich in Washington: I think there's an appropriate Anatole France quote to go with that
	8:06pm Franco Twinkie: Nick Cave in his read shirt with his pitch black hair whipping this face under the crumbling beauty of a faded ballroom in Berlin makes me want...want...PIZZA!
	8:06pm ultradamno: Wouldn't stop Gomez Adams
	8:06pm Scott67: Did someone say Pizza!!?? 🍺😎🍕
	8:07pm Rich in Washington: Franco!
	8:08pm Rich in Washington: that homeless deterrent surface should be red white and blue.
	8:08pm Scott67: With this beginning Rich, I reckon you should not know what you're doing more often.👍😎
	8:08pm chresti: Rich, that's what I thought it was for, to deeter campers.
	8:09pm solo mon: As welcoming as a spiked rainbow can be.
	8:10pm ultradamno: Still, it wouldn't be good for your tires if you veered onto it.
	8:10pm Rich in Washington: solo mon!
	8:10pm Mod Mokka Matti: Belated Greetings to Rich and all aspiration-challenged deep cut excavators!
	8:10pm ultradamno: Then you'd just have to sleep there in your car. Irony!
	8:11pm Otis: Hi Rich and Diggers!
	8:12pm Scott67: Spoiling me with Nick's here Rich!
	8:13pm Mod Mokka Matti: I bet that pyramidal rainbow roadbed could really help distract me from my sciatica issues.
	8:13pm Mod Mokka Matti: If I was to sleep on it, instead.
	8:13pm Rich in Washington: Mod Mokka Matti!
	8:14pm Rich in Washington: Otis!
	8:14pm ultradamno: Kid Congo and Anita twitter.com...
	8:14pm ironybread: Hi Solo, by the way
	8:15pm Scott67: A Richness of Nick's! Death of a thousand cuts.
	8:15pm Rich in Washington: I'm glad you're all here!
	8:16pm Otis: We are listening, speakers up, making veggie pizzas in the kitchen with good seeds to the bad seeds.
	8:17pm Rich in Washington: You are all making me want pizza now. Dang it.
	8:17pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): Hello, Rich! Hey, folx!
	8:17pm Rich in Washington: Mx. Baba Bee! Hello!
	8:18pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): Rich, I'll soon Bee in Washington! I'll be north of you, for once!
	8:18pm ultradamno: Best punk on Bandcamp for the month (I can vouch for Child's Pose) daily.bandcamp.com...
	8:19pm chresti: Baba Beekins!
	8:19pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): Junk Yard was my introduction to Nick Cave. YOW!
	8:19pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): chrestikins!!!!!!
	8:20pm Rich in Washington: Me too! I bought it because of the Ed Roth cover. I'd only read about Birthday Party in magazines.
	8:22pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): In my dreams, Nick Cave does an album of Daniel Johnston covers
	8:22pm Franco Twinkie: I love this version. It's so beautiful and kind.
	8:22pm Mr Fab: Hey Rich, and rich n famous listeners. "Mutiny In Heaven" absolutely took my head off. But i did not hate his transition to the more low key sounds with the Bad Seeds, like I did when other punks "matured." Nope, thems was some good Seeds indeed..
	8:23pm ultradamno: Mine was Prayers On Fire, through Subterranean's catalogue (and encouraged by some Release The Bats Tesco Vee review in Touch & Go)
	8:23pm ironybread: My first Nick Cave moment was "Red Right Hand" from the X-Files soundtrack. First Nick Cave purchases were the two Grinderman albums.
	8:23pm Rich in Washington: Hey Mr. Fab!
	8:24pm Rich in Washington: I became a huge Nick & Bad Seeds fan. Esp. after seeing them on Night Music.
	8:24pm Franco Twinkie: I have tears in my eyes.
	8:24pm ultradamno: Really more of a Rowland partisan, though.
	8:25pm Mod Mokka Matti: Murder Ballads is a great album all around, in my opinion (of admittedly insignificant value). Still have my CD I got way back in the day - Senior Year at Uni. Yikes.
	8:27pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): gender neutral pronouns, please!
	8:28pm chresti: I love Red Right Hand.
	8:28pm Constance De Witt: Wow, I listened to these albums so much back in he day!
	8:30pm Rich in Washington: My sincere apologies, Mx. Baba Bee!
	8:30pm Franco Twinkie: My favorite Nick Cave song is Blue Bird which I don't even have, but still. I think I'll google it before I go get us a pizza.
	8:31pm ultradamno: I like From Her and Let Love In
	8:31pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): It's alright, Rich, we all make mistakes! I sure do! :-)
	8:32pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): Franco, what kinda pizza?
	8:32pm ultradamno: Dig Lazarus isn't bad despite no Harvey, I think Adamson came back around that time, another common denominator of his best work.
	8:32pm ultradamno: He was definitely on the Cave ACL ep.
	8:36pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): ok, hopefully this will help confuse people
	8:37pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): Then I saw "Wings of Desire" and the Nick Cave scenes blew my mind
	8:39pm ultradamno: Crime & The City Solution too! I'm not even sure the Howards/Harvey period is the band's best material, but great footage.
	8:41pm ultradamno: Gotta love Canadian mummies.
	8:43pm ironybread: "The name comes from a killer butler encountered by Laurel and Hardy in their first film 'Do Detectives Think?' in 1927" - Discogs. Yow!
	8:43pm Rich in Washington: I got into Nash because he was sort of Residents adjacent. Plus, like the Rez, he became a character in Matt Howarth's wonderful comic books.
	8:43pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): ooh, I haven't seen the comics!
	8:44pm ultradamno: I remember Ralph teasing a Nash The Slash album, but did it ever happen?
	8:45pm ultradamno: Plus he gets name checked in Eggs On Plate, that was an encouragement to look into him for me.
	8:45pm coelacanth∅: 'evening Rich, 'lungers
	8:46pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): hey, there, coelacanth∅!
	8:46pm Rich in Washington: coelacanth∅!
	8:47pm Rich in Washington: I do know they put out at least one single and Nash appears on at least one of the Buy or Die 7" comps.
	8:47pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): When's the last time anyone saw fleep?
	8:47pm ultradamno: Sorry to hear of your debt issues www.theonion.com...
	8:47pm Rich in Washington: good question, Mx. Baba.
	8:48pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): ha ha!
	8:48pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): WFMU is my only social media. I get attached to all you characters
	8:49pm coelacanth∅: hey Mx BB! haven't seen fleep in ages haven't seen Dean in a month or so also
	8:50pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): I snooped, and it's been nearly a year since fleep clicky starred, but only a week since posting a pithy tweet!
	8:52pm coelacanth∅: i hope fleep was wearing a pith helmet for that
	8:53pm chresti: Oh yeah, I was wondering about fleep. Also Geezerette.
	8:54pm coelacanth∅: ...some don't hit the stars very much anyway... but i think it must be 1/2 a year since a fleep sighting. more than that.
	8:54pm coelacanth∅: geezerette did seem to be engaging less and less
	8:55pm chresti: I think I saw fleep surface last year, not long after the lockdown.
	8:55pm ironybread: All reasonable people agree the Melvins are a foce for good
	8:56pm coelacanth∅: ...so who's the pretty lady? < and FLIPVINS!
	8:56pm solo mon: A force full Melvin ouch!
	8:57pm Rich in Washington: Melvins are doing a live online show thing, tomorrow, I think. I watched their Valentine's Day one and it was pretty entertaining.
	8:58pm Rich in Washington: Oh, geezerette! I haven't seen geezerette forever!
	8:59pm chresti: Fleep was almost always around on Blumin's show.
	9:00pm Mod Mokka Matti: I was temporarily a man with a very Red (Left) Hand, when I gave myself a 2nd degree burn while pouring myself a big plastic tumbler of coffee, and the lid of my coffee maker's carafe decided to spontaneously detach, thus dumping boiling java on my digits. Coincidentally, this occurred on the same day marking the anniversary of the original release of "Red Right Hand", which I was reminded of in my Instagram feed that day.
	9:00pm ultradamno: Y'all made me look up Linda Lee, it's been a minute
	9:01pm ironybread: Seriously tho, why would anyone come to dislike the Melvins? Did they go commercial / go lounge / endorse Bush / other?
	9:01pm Rich in Washington: Oh god. I've had that happen. The coffee explosion thing. My thermos=like device is prone to sudden eruptions of hot black coffee. I ended up pouring a generous amount of just pressed coffee onto my leg and got a nasty blister.
	9:02pm Mod Mokka Matti: Just catching up on comments whilst I am supposed to be working. I've been wondering what's become of Fleep, too.
	9:02pm Rich in Washington: I see Linda Lee occasionally. Not super often. I think sometimes it's nice to just listen and take a break from typing/reading.
	9:02pm ultradamno: Change their name to Mlvyns? That'd do it for me.
	9:02pm coelacanth∅: chresti, maybe the hideous reality of Blumen not being on wfmu made fleep give up on the station. it almost did i. - since i got the impression it was not his choice.
	9:02pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): we must summon the fleep, our lord and mentor!
	9:03pm coelacanth∅: Linda Lee posted a few weeks (?) ago
	9:03pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): fleep! leaping and splashing into our realm. fleep!
	9:03pm chresti: LL was in TEX, last I knew.
	9:05pm coelacanth∅: okay so fleep's been on twitter. someone who twits can tell him we're looking for him
	9:06pm chresti: coel, it was NOT Blumin's choice, I was so upset!
	9:07pm chresti: twit won't let me twit for some reason.
	9:08pm Mod Mokka Matti: This past year has been so screwy, I have to admit that I didn't really realize that Daniel was gone...just thought he got shifted to another day/time that I wasn't able to tune in to the stream. Used to listen to him fairly regularly, myself.
	9:09pm ultradamno: Blumen was pretty openly dismayed in his farewell ep, I was not happy either.
	9:10pm coelacanth∅: well, the mismanagement has been steering the station toward mainstream-friendly for several years now...until if it weren't for the alternate streams i wouldn't donate at all. (despite Bryce and Fabio and a few other stellar lights - which he'll probably bump soon too)
	9:10pm chresti: Daniel was the one that originally summoned me to the comments.
	9:12pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): I pretty much lurk in Sheena's Jungle Room with occasional shimmies into GTDR. I do listen to Bryce and Trouble and Shrunken Planet archives a lot. Even Double-Dip moved to Sheena's, which is like Cookie Mueller being your babysitter!
	9:13pm Rich in Washington: the schedule change giveth and the schedule change taketh away. I find it sad when a show I've really come to love gets taken off but I also love the new shows. It's bittersweet.
	9:14pm Cp304: guud evening great peoples
	9:14pm chresti: They found(and were dismayed) on the survey that a large portion of respondents were over 40 something. Maybe they're afraid we'll die off and want to lure younger blood?
	9:14pm Rich in Washington: Hey, Cp304!
	9:17pm Cp304: ello Rich, i got it cranked.. gotta throw a load in do some stuff while listening
	9:18pm coelacanth∅: it's been consistently more bitter than sweet for 5-10 years now. ...my opinion is that the station manager who, obviously- having a degree in business - is going to be primarily concerned with finances and constant "growth" as a business, should not be the same person as the program director. someone who wants to stay true to the station's original ideals when it became freeform should be program director; and the station manager should make THAT work ...just as he did when he first took over, and basically saved the station.
	9:19pm ultradamno: We commenters certainly veer older, probably because the message board format is more familiar to us.
	9:20pm Rich in Washington: I am glad we're on our own weird little archipelagos on the alt/streams and not subject to that kind of thing (knocks on simulated woodgrain veneer).
	9:20pm Cp304: lol ultradamno..
	9:20pm chresti: I suspect the elder listeners make up a large percentage of support as well.
	9:20pm coelacanth∅: i don't know chresti. it seems to me the programming caters to mostly older folks...folks who very often can be swayed toward accepting crap they once hated because there's nostalgia or familiarity.
	9:21pm Rich in Washington: I love it when I later love something I hated.
	9:22pm coelacanth∅: i started listening to wfmu when i was 16, and it was a lot weirder then! there must be plenty of others like me.
	9:22pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): by the way, this Sonic Youth is hitting the spot. What spot, I cannot say, but it's hitting it.
	9:22pm Rich in Washington: I'm glad. It's having a similar effect on me as well. I just randomly grabbed this a few moments before playing it.
	9:23pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): yes, I probably would have hated this Sonic Youth when it came out
	9:23pm chresti: Fingers crossed come June schedule...
	9:24pm ultradamno: I remember getting the catalogs way back when and listening on and off as the internet became an option from the 90s or whatever on.
	9:25pm ultradamno: I suggest a K-Pop show called Oh, My Seoul to bring in the kids, but no one listens
	9:25pm Rich in Washington: I found these series of Sonic Youth albums really impenetrable. Sort of off-putting in their relentless noisiness but now I really enjoy them. A big F U to their former labels, with the ability to go into their own studio and just experiment with like minded folks.
	9:26pm coelacanth∅: Rich (@921) i do too, but sometimes i ask myself am i just humming along because i was inundated with it when i didn't know how much better it can be? most disco songs are a good example. they're not any less vacuous than they were then, yet people who hated it then are ready to shake their collective booty now. sad.
	9:27pm chresti: Everything old is new to me in a lot of cases. Like the Melvins, or E Neubaten, for instance.
	9:28pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): coelacanth∅: hee hee! I was just writing in my notebook about how much I loved disco when I was younger, but I was too young to go to the disco!
	9:30pm coelacanth∅: i hated most "metal" as a teenager, but having friends in metal bands and trying to turn me on to this and that has opened me up. sometimes, though, it hits me squar between my eyes that i'm hearing juvenile poseur crap. there's good metal, and then there's most metal.
	9:33pm coelacanth∅: hmm, sorry BB! maybe it's an age thing? maybe if disco had come along 10 years sooner i would've liked it. i never liked Michael Jackson either!
	9:33pm Rich in Washington: I disliked Melvins when they first came around as I lumped them in with the same rather dull bands I remember coming down from Seattle at the time, maybe because of them being associated with Nirvana, as I always regarded as kind of overrated.
	9:33pm Mod Mokka Matti: I have to credit Clarissa Explains it All for first making me aware of WFMU's existence, but it would be another couple decades-plus before I started tuning in online, being out here in the PNW and all, and still listening heavily to local KEXP at the time.
	9:33pm Rich in Washington: I have really warmed to Jackson's Off The Wall over the years.
	9:35pm ultradamno: Funny thing about metal is how it seems to have become the pathway to noise from the 90s on (where previously it was metal/hard rock to punk/postpunk to noise...they've cut out the middlemen)
	9:35pm coelacanth∅: well...it's not like i don't know i have many unpopular opinions in wfmuland!
	9:37pm ultradamno: Well, does explain everything, so that tracks
	9:37pm ultradamno: ...she does, that is
	9:37pm Rich in Washington: Are you in Seattle, MMM? or thereabouts?
	9:39pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): coelacanth∅: oh I get it, disco is usually pretty vacuous. But as a ten year old listening to Donna Summer's greatest hits and watching Thank God It's Friday over and over, it was a lovely fantasy world to escape into! Better than the logging towns I grew up in!
	9:40pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I listen back to the new wave I slurped up in the 80s and think UGH, THAT"S VACUOUS!
	9:40pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I mean, Kajagoogoo?!?!?!?
	9:40pm coelacanth∅: ultra d right... by 10th grade there was a treacherous gulf between myself and a boy who was my best friend from ~5th-7th grade... i went punk, he went metal. i considered instrumental proficiency a waste of time if there wasn't feeling in it.
	9:45pm ironybread: Oh wow, this Dodge record might be a sample source for Firesign's "Dear Friends" - gotta look up this puppy
	9:46pm Mod Mokka Matti: @Rich: I'm roughly equidistant from Seattle and Grit City (aka Tacoma, to those not familiar with the nickname - and my birthplace, btw).
	9:46pm coelacanth∅: BB (your new moniker is taking some getting used to!,,,i hope you don't mind "BB") i wrote a song back then about disco, the basic idea being that it was just about dancing and fucking and snorting -when there was so much to address in this world... but i did ultimately come around to there being an importance to escape. it wasn't the music, necessarily, and wasn't the lyrics, necessarily... as there was some vital disco.
	9:47pm Rich in Washington: oh, cool, ironybread!
	9:47pm coelacanth∅: - i mean, the ramones was just silly escape music, as was the grateful dead...
	9:47pm Cp304: I'm sorry I was late and missed out on the convo.. I find it amazing all the things I missed as a yute that I have somehow come across on the nets.. like a collective mind has steered me.. I had no idea of WFMU if it weren't for Mr Fab making a blogpost.. how I found him, I can't remember.. probably deep linked from some mash site, but so much good here it's mindblowing..I'm just thankful.. too much to archive.. I've met so many interesting peoples..
	9:50pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): coelacanth∅: BB's fine! I keep mutating! ALl I really care about is that people don't use binary pronouns for me, otherwise I enjoy any respectful nicknames!
	9:50pm Cp304: that mug on don preston cover looks like he means business.. and I believe it
	9:51pm Rich in Washington: He's gonna turn into the monster!
	9:51pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Baba means Granny, Daddy, and Baby (in different languages)!
	9:51pm Rich in Washington: (probably only makes sense if you've seen Uncle Meat)
	9:52pm chresti: PIZZA IS HERE
	9:52pm Cp304: Rich, you should know by now i should have a green ring around my avatar
	9:52pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Cp304: cool! I always like to hear how folx found their way here!
	9:53pm coelacanth∅: that's interesting BB...maybe you know if that has some significance in titles such as "Meher Baba"?
	9:53pm Cp304: yep Baba.. underground Forums..
	9:54pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): chrestikins! what kind of pizza! I want some!
	9:54pm coelacanth∅: Rich i thought i knew the reference from the album. i never saw it; only heard it
	9:55pm chresti: Babakins, wild mushroom, yum!
	9:55pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I can't crank this Analog Heaven up any louder!!!!
	9:56pm Cp304: yeah this is gold
	9:56pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): MMmmmmmmmmmmmMMMMMMmmmushrooooommmmmmmmm
	9:56pm Rich in Washington: the film's a huge waste of celluloid, only of interest of early Mothers fans. Preston has many funny moments in it. But it's just a wreck of crudely edited footage by Zappa, who's no filmmaker.
	9:57pm ultradamno: And not much of a Saturday Night Live host, famously.
	9:57pm Mod Mokka Matti: Maybe I should make a pizza today.
	9:57pm coelacanth∅: i'm an early mothers fan, and a fan of early mothers...but by no means without reservation!
	9:57pm Franco Twinkie: I just walked in with the pizza to be greeted by this! I use to see Don when he had a regular gig at this bar in Pasadena. It was kind of a pick-up joint that wasn't my type of place, but I would sit at the bar and listen to Don play the grand piano. He would always do a medley of old MOI material. We would exchange knowing glances. It made me very happy, and I would walk home drunk and alone.
	9:58pm Scott67: Hey gang, sorry if I missed some chat to me. I'm counseling a friend in need while listening. And soon must drive to my folks to cook them a barbie. So will say thanks for the Riches Rich! A stay beautiful my Friends! ✌😎🌏❤
	9:59pm ultradamno: Not much of a releaser of Bat Chain Puller either.
	9:59pm Scott67: Did someone say Pizza!!??.... again!!!👍😎🍕
	9:59pm Franco Twinkie: Nine Types Of Industrial Pollution!
	9:59pm coelacanth∅: have a good visit Scott!
	10:00pm Scott67: Cheers coel!✌😎
	10:00pm chresti: Have a nice barbie, Scott!
	10:00pm Rich in Washington: See you, Scott67!
	10:02pm Scott67: ❤💜♥💛💚💙
	10:02pm Franco Twinkie: "Had we all been living in California....."
	10:03pm Rich in Washington: Don Preston as Bif Debris - he would drink a vile, foamy liquid and turn into a monster.
	10:03pm Rich in Washington: I love that part - and Jimmy Carl Black would be credited on a subsequent album with Drums and Poverty.
	10:03pm Franco Twinkie: This is good.
	10:04pm Rich in Washington: I used to have lots of this dialog on a cassette tape.
	10:05pm Rich in Washington: anybody catch Tom Wilson's Music Factory when Irwin ran it on his show a couple of years ago? it was amazing.
	10:08pm Franco Twinkie: In the mid 1970's Don was in a band called Ogo Moto. I saw them play at The La Brea tar pits. Most of the people walking to the art museum would look at them with the 'huh?' look on their faces. The band didn't even notice or care, they just played.
	10:09pm Franco Twinkie: Like I said, this is so good!
	10:10pm Rich in Washington: Don contributed to a cool album I bought out of a cutout bin as a kid, called Music from the 21st Century. I should dig it up.
	10:10pm Franco Twinkie: Please do!
	10:12pm Rich in Washington: found it
	10:12pm ultradamno: Dunbar, so imagine him being whipped www.gettyimages.com...
	10:14pm Franco Twinkie: Oh yeah! Also, Ansley walking around in the Hollywood Ranch Market with a vibrator hanging off his belt.
	10:14pm coelacanth∅: Rich (@1005) yes that was enlightening
	10:14pm Cp304: unfortunately, I didn't catch Irwin til he took a sabbatical.
	10:15pm coelacanth∅: ...this is the soundtrack to meal preparation - excuse me...
	10:15pm Mod Mokka Matti: Is someone eating chicken? I hear a lot of smacking,
	10:16pm Rich in Washington: They're using the chicken to measure it
	10:17pm Franco Twinkie: Phyllis was a natural. I think she wrote a book about hanging out at the log cabin.
	10:18pm Cp304: i wish there were chicks like this around here..
	10:20pm ultradamno: Captain Beefheart vs. the Grunt People www.donlope.net...
	10:21pm Franco Twinkie: Come to L.A. Cp304. Girls like that are everywhere. There is one sitting in the kitchen eating pizza as a matter of fact.
	10:22pm Cp304: lol Franco.. it's 3000 miles from moms and pops tho..
	10:22pm Mod Mokka Matti: Those Grunt People rolling around and over everything in their Gruntrucks.
	10:24pm Cp304: sounds familiar to Jonas Salk..
	10:25pm Rich in Washington: It just suddenly started raining really hard up here. I had to take my headphones off to see what that really loud noise I was hearing on my mic when talking.
	10:26pm Franco Twinkie: Burroughs was a lot of things, including a forecaster of doom.
	10:27pm Aitch: I read Cities of the Red Night when I was about 15. My first Burroughs. Totally warped my mind
	10:27pm Franco Twinkie: This also is very good.
	10:28pm Rich in Washington: I found Junky in my public library and then read Naked Lunch and my brain melted. I still like to randomly pick up the later and read passages from it.
	10:29pm Rich in Washington: I was stuck for a show title today and picked up Nova Express and flipped to a random page.
	10:29pm Rich in Washington: but late night DJs in my town used to frequently play Burroughs stuff and that really hooked me.
	10:30pm Franco Twinkie: This is the way I like my poison served - steaming and smelly.
	10:33pm Franco Twinkie: No polished chrome horror show - just the human situation at it's most venial.
	10:38pm Franco Twinkie: Good transition!
	10:39pm Rich in Washington: I wanted to get away from the barrage of N words. I hadn't listened to that piece in years. Ugh.
	10:40pm ultradamno: Daz Darkside had a series of polls pitting the Slates songs against each other, the final tally was Leave The Capitol 34 Prole Art Threat 22 Middle Mass 21 Fit and Working Again 20 Slates, Slags, Etc 20 An Older Lover 19
	10:41pm Rich in Washington: all of those are fine songs.
	10:41pm ultradamno: If you had you could launched into The Classical. Veer into the skid
	10:42pm Franco Twinkie: William S. Burroughs and Mark E. Smith both reach critical mass. Something most of us can only aspire to.
	10:42pm Rich in Washington: I've been thinking of this EP. I think it's had an anniversary or something.
	10:43pm ultradamno: Big 4-0, the Hawaii anniversary
	10:43pm Mod Mokka Matti: This pulsing beat is making me feel woozy.
	10:44pm ultradamno: Oh, wait, that's 5-0, never mind.
	10:44pm coelacanth∅: i have no choice but to eat to the beat
	10:44pm Mod Mokka Matti: And I have olume so low as a I work that Mark's voice is really messing with me.
	10:45pm Mod Mokka Matti: I guess I'm one of those deservedly suffering people then...
	10:46pm coelacanth∅: - still wondering about < her is it "Ms.Lane"? and if so who is Ms. Lane?
	10:47pm ultradamno: Anita...who passed this week.
	10:48pm ultradamno: ...and worked with Cave and whose pic is under the playlist
	10:48pm Aitch: In so late, waiting for end of show to go back to the start. Wild looking set there Rich.
	10:49pm Rich in Washington: Hi Aitch!
	10:50pm Cp304: @ Rich thanks so much @ peoples love ya's
	10:50pm coelacanth∅: Thanks ultra. i didn't know the name but i guess i've heard her before ...rest in peace, Anita. ...too young.
	10:50pm Aitch: Saw Melvins out here maybe 2018. Fab live, smashed it
	10:50pm ironybread: It's pronounced "Sister Zenda No Bottom"
	10:53pm Rich in Washington: Collapsing New Buildings would be a great band name for Portland.
	10:54pm Rich in Washington: Melvins was the second to last show I attended before the big C hit.
	10:54pm ultradamno: As she appeared on the back cover of From Her To Eternity. She's on the right 66.media.tumblr.com...
	10:54pm Franco Twinkie: This was a terrific show for a real hot day in L.A. I got very little done and felt like I was going to faint, but Sheena made it all better.
	10:54pm Aitch: Someone played Collapsing New People the other day, Fad Gadget
	10:55pm Rich in Washington: There's also a small pic of here in the inside sleeve of Junk Yard.
	10:55pm Mod Mokka Matti: I reckon being of partial German ancestry, and all those years of studying the language from Jr. High through Uni served at least one purpose, after all... being able to authentically pronounce somewhat obscure/alt band names of Teutonic origins.
	10:55pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, Franco! Don't faint!
	10:57pm Mod Mokka Matti: Wow, show's over... well, shoot. Thanks Rich!
	10:58pm coelacanth∅: oh i know that picture... Thanks ultra ...strange that geeky me didn't read - or forgot, about her before
	10:59pm ultradamno: Till next week turkeynecks!
	10:59pm ironybread: Another brilliant installment, Rich, yer awesome!
	11:00pm Franco Twinkie: Turkey necks slathered with hot malaise.
	11:00pm ultradamno: Which is the last Bandcamp Friday on schedule, I believe and the day I'll be fully vaccinated.
	11:01pm coelacanth∅: Brilliant program Thanks Rich!
	11:01pm chresti: Thanks Rich! I was in a getty images wormhole (thanks ultrad)
	11:02pm Franco Twinkie: You can't write about being vile, without being vile yourself.
	11:04pm Rich in Washington: Thanks everybody! You rawk! MWAAAH!

Listener comments!
	7:57pm Rich in Washington: I don't know what I'm doing but that's never stopped me before.
	8:00pm ironybread: I don't know what ANYONE is doing! But I'll be there!
	8:01pm Rich in Washington: Here we go!
	8:01pm ultradamno: Rich! Diggocrates!
	8:01pm ultradamno: RIP Ms. Lane!
	8:02pm Rich in Washington: ironybread! ultradamno!
	8:02pm HyperDose: New speed bumps?

	8:02pm Rich in Washington: HyperDose! Scott67!
	8:03pm chresti: Hi crate likkers!
	8:03pm Rich in Washington: chresti!
	8:03pm Scott67: I have been very drunk to this song several times.
	8:04pm ultradamno: Why a rainbow theme for the threat of tire damage?
	8:04pm Scott67: G'day to a Lung full of Riches! ✌😎🌏🌞
	8:05pm Rich in Washington: I believe it's actually a surface to deter people from camping or sleeping under a bridge. Nice, huh?
	8:05pm Rich in Washington: I think there's an appropriate Anatole France quote to go with that
	8:06pm Franco Twinkie: Nick Cave in his read shirt with his pitch black hair whipping this face under the crumbling beauty of a faded ballroom in Berlin makes me want...want...PIZZA!
	8:06pm ultradamno: Wouldn't stop Gomez Adams
	8:06pm Scott67: Did someone say Pizza!!?? 🍺😎🍕
	8:07pm Rich in Washington: Franco!
	8:08pm Rich in Washington: that homeless deterrent surface should be red white and blue.
	8:08pm Scott67: With this beginning Rich, I reckon you should not know what you're doing more often.👍😎
	8:08pm chresti: Rich, that's what I thought it was for, to deeter campers.
	8:09pm solo mon: As welcoming as a spiked rainbow can be.
	8:10pm ultradamno: Still, it wouldn't be good for your tires if you veered onto it.
	8:10pm Rich in Washington: solo mon!
	8:10pm Mod Mokka Matti: Belated Greetings to Rich and all aspiration-challenged deep cut excavators!
	8:10pm ultradamno: Then you'd just have to sleep there in your car. Irony!
	8:11pm Otis: Hi Rich and Diggers!
	8:12pm Scott67: Spoiling me with Nick's here Rich!
	8:13pm Mod Mokka Matti: I bet that pyramidal rainbow roadbed could really help distract me from my sciatica issues.
	8:13pm Mod Mokka Matti: If I was to sleep on it, instead.
	8:13pm Rich in Washington: Mod Mokka Matti!
	8:14pm Rich in Washington: Otis!
	8:14pm ultradamno: Kid Congo and Anita twitter.com...
	8:14pm ironybread: Hi Solo, by the way
	8:15pm Scott67: A Richness of Nick's! Death of a thousand cuts.
	8:15pm Rich in Washington: I'm glad you're all here!
	8:16pm Otis: We are listening, speakers up, making veggie pizzas in the kitchen with good seeds to the bad seeds.
	8:17pm Rich in Washington: You are all making me want pizza now. Dang it.
	8:17pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): Hello, Rich! Hey, folx!
	8:17pm Rich in Washington: Mx. Baba Bee! Hello!
	8:18pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): Rich, I'll soon Bee in Washington! I'll be north of you, for once!
	8:18pm ultradamno: Best punk on Bandcamp for the month (I can vouch for Child's Pose) daily.bandcamp.com...
	8:19pm chresti: Baba Beekins!
	8:19pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): Junk Yard was my introduction to Nick Cave. YOW!
	8:19pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): chrestikins!!!!!!
	8:20pm Rich in Washington: Me too! I bought it because of the Ed Roth cover. I'd only read about Birthday Party in magazines.
	8:22pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): In my dreams, Nick Cave does an album of Daniel Johnston covers
	8:22pm Franco Twinkie: I love this version. It's so beautiful and kind.
	8:22pm Mr Fab: Hey Rich, and rich n famous listeners. "Mutiny In Heaven" absolutely took my head off. But i did not hate his transition to the more low key sounds with the Bad Seeds, like I did when other punks "matured." Nope, thems was some good Seeds indeed..
	8:23pm ultradamno: Mine was Prayers On Fire, through Subterranean's catalogue (and encouraged by some Release The Bats Tesco Vee review in Touch & Go)
	8:23pm ironybread: My first Nick Cave moment was "Red Right Hand" from the X-Files soundtrack. First Nick Cave purchases were the two Grinderman albums.
	8:23pm Rich in Washington: Hey Mr. Fab!
	8:24pm Rich in Washington: I became a huge Nick & Bad Seeds fan. Esp. after seeing them on Night Music.
	8:24pm Franco Twinkie: I have tears in my eyes.
	8:24pm ultradamno: Really more of a Rowland partisan, though.
	8:25pm Mod Mokka Matti: Murder Ballads is a great album all around, in my opinion (of admittedly insignificant value). Still have my CD I got way back in the day - Senior Year at Uni. Yikes.
	8:27pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): gender neutral pronouns, please!
	8:28pm chresti: I love Red Right Hand.
	8:28pm Constance De Witt: Wow, I listened to these albums so much back in he day!
	8:30pm Rich in Washington: My sincere apologies, Mx. Baba Bee!
	8:30pm Franco Twinkie: My favorite Nick Cave song is Blue Bird which I don't even have, but still. I think I'll google it before I go get us a pizza.
	8:31pm ultradamno: I like From Her and Let Love In
	8:31pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): It's alright, Rich, we all make mistakes! I sure do! :-)
	8:32pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): Franco, what kinda pizza?
	8:32pm ultradamno: Dig Lazarus isn't bad despite no Harvey, I think Adamson came back around that time, another common denominator of his best work.
	8:32pm ultradamno: He was definitely on the Cave ACL ep.
	8:36pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): ok, hopefully this will help confuse people
	8:37pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): Then I saw "Wings of Desire" and the Nick Cave scenes blew my mind
	8:39pm ultradamno: Crime & The City Solution too! I'm not even sure the Howards/Harvey period is the band's best material, but great footage.
	8:41pm ultradamno: Gotta love Canadian mummies.
	8:43pm ironybread: "The name comes from a killer butler encountered by Laurel and Hardy in their first film 'Do Detectives Think?' in 1927" - Discogs. Yow!
	8:43pm Rich in Washington: I got into Nash because he was sort of Residents adjacent. Plus, like the Rez, he became a character in Matt Howarth's wonderful comic books.
	8:43pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): ooh, I haven't seen the comics!
	8:44pm ultradamno: I remember Ralph teasing a Nash The Slash album, but did it ever happen?
	8:45pm ultradamno: Plus he gets name checked in Eggs On Plate, that was an encouragement to look into him for me.
	8:45pm coelacanth∅: 'evening Rich, 'lungers
	8:46pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): hey, there, coelacanth∅!
	8:46pm Rich in Washington: coelacanth∅!
	8:47pm Rich in Washington: I do know they put out at least one single and Nash appears on at least one of the Buy or Die 7" comps.
	8:47pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): When's the last time anyone saw fleep?
	8:47pm ultradamno: Sorry to hear of your debt issues www.theonion.com...
	8:47pm Rich in Washington: good question, Mx. Baba.
	8:48pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): ha ha!
	8:48pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): WFMU is my only social media. I get attached to all you characters
	8:49pm coelacanth∅: hey Mx BB! haven't seen fleep in ages haven't seen Dean in a month or so also
	8:50pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): I snooped, and it's been nearly a year since fleep clicky starred, but only a week since posting a pithy tweet!
	8:52pm coelacanth∅: i hope fleep was wearing a pith helmet for that
	8:53pm chresti: Oh yeah, I was wondering about fleep. Also Geezerette.
	8:54pm coelacanth∅: ...some don't hit the stars very much anyway... but i think it must be 1/2 a year since a fleep sighting. more than that.
	8:54pm coelacanth∅: geezerette did seem to be engaging less and less
	8:55pm chresti: I think I saw fleep surface last year, not long after the lockdown.
	8:55pm ironybread: All reasonable people agree the Melvins are a foce for good
	8:56pm coelacanth∅: ...so who's the pretty lady? < and FLIPVINS!
	8:56pm solo mon: A force full Melvin ouch!
	8:57pm Rich in Washington: Melvins are doing a live online show thing, tomorrow, I think. I watched their Valentine's Day one and it was pretty entertaining.
	8:58pm Rich in Washington: Oh, geezerette! I haven't seen geezerette forever!
	8:59pm chresti: Fleep was almost always around on Blumin's show.
	9:00pm Mod Mokka Matti: I was temporarily a man with a very Red (Left) Hand, when I gave myself a 2nd degree burn while pouring myself a big plastic tumbler of coffee, and the lid of my coffee maker's carafe decided to spontaneously detach, thus dumping boiling java on my digits. Coincidentally, this occurred on the same day marking the anniversary of the original release of "Red Right Hand", which I was reminded of in my Instagram feed that day.
	9:00pm ultradamno: Y'all made me look up Linda Lee, it's been a minute
	9:01pm ironybread: Seriously tho, why would anyone come to dislike the Melvins? Did they go commercial / go lounge / endorse Bush / other?
	9:01pm Rich in Washington: Oh god. I've had that happen. The coffee explosion thing. My thermos=like device is prone to sudden eruptions of hot black coffee. I ended up pouring a generous amount of just pressed coffee onto my leg and got a nasty blister.
	9:02pm Mod Mokka Matti: Just catching up on comments whilst I am supposed to be working. I've been wondering what's become of Fleep, too.
	9:02pm Rich in Washington: I see Linda Lee occasionally. Not super often. I think sometimes it's nice to just listen and take a break from typing/reading.
	9:02pm ultradamno: Change their name to Mlvyns? That'd do it for me.
	9:02pm coelacanth∅: chresti, maybe the hideous reality of Blumen not being on wfmu made fleep give up on the station. it almost did i. - since i got the impression it was not his choice.
	9:02pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): we must summon the fleep, our lord and mentor!
	9:03pm coelacanth∅: Linda Lee posted a few weeks (?) ago
	9:03pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): fleep! leaping and splashing into our realm. fleep!
	9:03pm chresti: LL was in TEX, last I knew.
	9:05pm coelacanth∅: okay so fleep's been on twitter. someone who twits can tell him we're looking for him
	9:06pm chresti: coel, it was NOT Blumin's choice, I was so upset!
	9:07pm chresti: twit won't let me twit for some reason.
	9:08pm Mod Mokka Matti: This past year has been so screwy, I have to admit that I didn't really realize that Daniel was gone...just thought he got shifted to another day/time that I wasn't able to tune in to the stream. Used to listen to him fairly regularly, myself.
	9:09pm ultradamno: Blumen was pretty openly dismayed in his farewell ep, I was not happy either.
	9:10pm coelacanth∅: well, the mismanagement has been steering the station toward mainstream-friendly for several years now...until if it weren't for the alternate streams i wouldn't donate at all. (despite Bryce and Fabio and a few other stellar lights - which he'll probably bump soon too)
	9:10pm chresti: Daniel was the one that originally summoned me to the comments.
	9:12pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): I pretty much lurk in Sheena's Jungle Room with occasional shimmies into GTDR. I do listen to Bryce and Trouble and Shrunken Planet archives a lot. Even Double-Dip moved to Sheena's, which is like Cookie Mueller being your babysitter!
	9:13pm Rich in Washington: the schedule change giveth and the schedule change taketh away. I find it sad when a show I've really come to love gets taken off but I also love the new shows. It's bittersweet.
	9:14pm Cp304: guud evening great peoples
	9:14pm chresti: They found(and were dismayed) on the survey that a large portion of respondents were over 40 something. Maybe they're afraid we'll die off and want to lure younger blood?
	9:14pm Rich in Washington: Hey, Cp304!
	9:17pm Cp304: ello Rich, i got it cranked.. gotta throw a load in do some stuff while listening
	9:18pm coelacanth∅: it's been consistently more bitter than sweet for 5-10 years now. ...my opinion is that the station manager who, obviously- having a degree in business - is going to be primarily concerned with finances and constant "growth" as a business, should not be the same person as the program director. someone who wants to stay true to the station's original ideals when it became freeform should be program director; and the station manager should make THAT work ...just as he did when he first took over, and basically saved the station.
	9:19pm ultradamno: We commenters certainly veer older, probably because the message board format is more familiar to us.
	9:20pm Rich in Washington: I am glad we're on our own weird little archipelagos on the alt/streams and not subject to that kind of thing (knocks on simulated woodgrain veneer).
	9:20pm Cp304: lol ultradamno..
	9:20pm chresti: I suspect the elder listeners make up a large percentage of support as well.
	9:20pm coelacanth∅: i don't know chresti. it seems to me the programming caters to mostly older folks...folks who very often can be swayed toward accepting crap they once hated because there's nostalgia or familiarity.
	9:21pm Rich in Washington: I love it when I later love something I hated.
	9:22pm coelacanth∅: i started listening to wfmu when i was 16, and it was a lot weirder then! there must be plenty of others like me.
	9:22pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/em): by the way, this Sonic Youth is hitting the spot. What spot, I cannot say, but it's hitting it.
	9:22pm Rich in Washington: I'm glad. It's having a similar effect on me as well. I just randomly grabbed this a few moments before playing it.
	9:23pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): yes, I probably would have hated this Sonic Youth when it came out
	9:23pm chresti: Fingers crossed come June schedule...
	9:24pm ultradamno: I remember getting the catalogs way back when and listening on and off as the internet became an option from the 90s or whatever on.
	9:25pm ultradamno: I suggest a K-Pop show called Oh, My Seoul to bring in the kids, but no one listens
	9:25pm Rich in Washington: I found these series of Sonic Youth albums really impenetrable. Sort of off-putting in their relentless noisiness but now I really enjoy them. A big F U to their former labels, with the ability to go into their own studio and just experiment with like minded folks.
	9:26pm coelacanth∅: Rich (@921) i do too, but sometimes i ask myself am i just humming along because i was inundated with it when i didn't know how much better it can be? most disco songs are a good example. they're not any less vacuous than they were then, yet people who hated it then are ready to shake their collective booty now. sad.
	9:27pm chresti: Everything old is new to me in a lot of cases. Like the Melvins, or E Neubaten, for instance.
	9:28pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): coelacanth∅: hee hee! I was just writing in my notebook about how much I loved disco when I was younger, but I was too young to go to the disco!
	9:30pm coelacanth∅: i hated most "metal" as a teenager, but having friends in metal bands and trying to turn me on to this and that has opened me up. sometimes, though, it hits me squar between my eyes that i'm hearing juvenile poseur crap. there's good metal, and then there's most metal.
	9:33pm coelacanth∅: hmm, sorry BB! maybe it's an age thing? maybe if disco had come along 10 years sooner i would've liked it. i never liked Michael Jackson either!
	9:33pm Rich in Washington: I disliked Melvins when they first came around as I lumped them in with the same rather dull bands I remember coming down from Seattle at the time, maybe because of them being associated with Nirvana, as I always regarded as kind of overrated.
	9:33pm Mod Mokka Matti: I have to credit Clarissa Explains it All for first making me aware of WFMU's existence, but it would be another couple decades-plus before I started tuning in online, being out here in the PNW and all, and still listening heavily to local KEXP at the time.
	9:33pm Rich in Washington: I have really warmed to Jackson's Off The Wall over the years.
	9:35pm ultradamno: Funny thing about metal is how it seems to have become the pathway to noise from the 90s on (where previously it was metal/hard rock to punk/postpunk to noise...they've cut out the middlemen)
	9:35pm coelacanth∅: well...it's not like i don't know i have many unpopular opinions in wfmuland!
	9:37pm ultradamno: Well, does explain everything, so that tracks
	9:37pm ultradamno: ...she does, that is
	9:37pm Rich in Washington: Are you in Seattle, MMM? or thereabouts?
	9:39pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): coelacanth∅: oh I get it, disco is usually pretty vacuous. But as a ten year old listening to Donna Summer's greatest hits and watching Thank God It's Friday over and over, it was a lovely fantasy world to escape into! Better than the logging towns I grew up in!
	9:40pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I listen back to the new wave I slurped up in the 80s and think UGH, THAT"S VACUOUS!
	9:40pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I mean, Kajagoogoo?!?!?!?
	9:40pm coelacanth∅: ultra d right... by 10th grade there was a treacherous gulf between myself and a boy who was my best friend from ~5th-7th grade... i went punk, he went metal. i considered instrumental proficiency a waste of time if there wasn't feeling in it.
	9:45pm ironybread: Oh wow, this Dodge record might be a sample source for Firesign's "Dear Friends" - gotta look up this puppy
	9:46pm Mod Mokka Matti: @Rich: I'm roughly equidistant from Seattle and Grit City (aka Tacoma, to those not familiar with the nickname - and my birthplace, btw).
	9:46pm coelacanth∅: BB (your new moniker is taking some getting used to!,,,i hope you don't mind "BB") i wrote a song back then about disco, the basic idea being that it was just about dancing and fucking and snorting -when there was so much to address in this world... but i did ultimately come around to there being an importance to escape. it wasn't the music, necessarily, and wasn't the lyrics, necessarily... as there was some vital disco.
	9:47pm Rich in Washington: oh, cool, ironybread!
	9:47pm coelacanth∅: - i mean, the ramones was just silly escape music, as was the grateful dead...
	9:47pm Cp304: I'm sorry I was late and missed out on the convo.. I find it amazing all the things I missed as a yute that I have somehow come across on the nets.. like a collective mind has steered me.. I had no idea of WFMU if it weren't for Mr Fab making a blogpost.. how I found him, I can't remember.. probably deep linked from some mash site, but so much good here it's mindblowing..I'm just thankful.. too much to archive.. I've met so many interesting peoples..
	9:50pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): coelacanth∅: BB's fine! I keep mutating! ALl I really care about is that people don't use binary pronouns for me, otherwise I enjoy any respectful nicknames!
	9:50pm Cp304: that mug on don preston cover looks like he means business.. and I believe it
	9:51pm Rich in Washington: He's gonna turn into the monster!
	9:51pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Baba means Granny, Daddy, and Baby (in different languages)!
	9:51pm Rich in Washington: (probably only makes sense if you've seen Uncle Meat)
	9:52pm chresti: PIZZA IS HERE
	9:52pm Cp304: Rich, you should know by now i should have a green ring around my avatar
	9:52pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Cp304: cool! I always like to hear how folx found their way here!
	9:53pm coelacanth∅: that's interesting BB...maybe you know if that has some significance in titles such as "Meher Baba"?
	9:53pm Cp304: yep Baba.. underground Forums..
	9:54pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): chrestikins! what kind of pizza! I want some!
	9:54pm coelacanth∅: Rich i thought i knew the reference from the album. i never saw it; only heard it
	9:55pm chresti: Babakins, wild mushroom, yum!
	9:55pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I can't crank this Analog Heaven up any louder!!!!
	9:56pm Cp304: yeah this is gold
	9:56pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): MMmmmmmmmmmmmMMMMMMmmmushrooooommmmmmmmm
	9:56pm Rich in Washington: the film's a huge waste of celluloid, only of interest of early Mothers fans. Preston has many funny moments in it. But it's just a wreck of crudely edited footage by Zappa, who's no filmmaker.
	9:57pm ultradamno: And not much of a Saturday Night Live host, famously.
	9:57pm Mod Mokka Matti: Maybe I should make a pizza today.
	9:57pm coelacanth∅: i'm an early mothers fan, and a fan of early mothers...but by no means without reservation!
	9:57pm Franco Twinkie: I just walked in with the pizza to be greeted by this! I use to see Don when he had a regular gig at this bar in Pasadena. It was kind of a pick-up joint that wasn't my type of place, but I would sit at the bar and listen to Don play the grand piano. He would always do a medley of old MOI material. We would exchange knowing glances. It made me very happy, and I would walk home drunk and alone.
	9:58pm Scott67: Hey gang, sorry if I missed some chat to me. I'm counseling a friend in need while listening. And soon must drive to my folks to cook them a barbie. So will say thanks for the Riches Rich! A stay beautiful my Friends! ✌😎🌏❤
	9:59pm ultradamno: Not much of a releaser of Bat Chain Puller either.
	9:59pm Scott67: Did someone say Pizza!!??.... again!!!👍😎🍕
	9:59pm Franco Twinkie: Nine Types Of Industrial Pollution!
	9:59pm coelacanth∅: have a good visit Scott!
	10:00pm Scott67: Cheers coel!✌😎
	10:00pm chresti: Have a nice barbie, Scott!
	10:00pm Rich in Washington: See you, Scott67!
	10:02pm Scott67: ❤💜♥💛💚💙
	10:02pm Franco Twinkie: "Had we all been living in California....."
	10:03pm Rich in Washington: Don Preston as Bif Debris - he would drink a vile, foamy liquid and turn into a monster.
	10:03pm Rich in Washington: I love that part - and Jimmy Carl Black would be credited on a subsequent album with Drums and Poverty.
	10:03pm Franco Twinkie: This is good.
	10:04pm Rich in Washington: I used to have lots of this dialog on a cassette tape.
	10:05pm Rich in Washington: anybody catch Tom Wilson's Music Factory when Irwin ran it on his show a couple of years ago? it was amazing.
	10:08pm Franco Twinkie: In the mid 1970's Don was in a band called Ogo Moto. I saw them play at The La Brea tar pits. Most of the people walking to the art museum would look at them with the 'huh?' look on their faces. The band didn't even notice or care, they just played.
	10:09pm Franco Twinkie: Like I said, this is so good!
	10:10pm Rich in Washington: Don contributed to a cool album I bought out of a cutout bin as a kid, called Music from the 21st Century. I should dig it up.
	10:10pm Franco Twinkie: Please do!
	10:12pm Rich in Washington: found it
	10:12pm ultradamno: Dunbar, so imagine him being whipped www.gettyimages.com...
	10:14pm Franco Twinkie: Oh yeah! Also, Ansley walking around in the Hollywood Ranch Market with a vibrator hanging off his belt.
	10:14pm coelacanth∅: Rich (@1005) yes that was enlightening
	10:14pm Cp304: unfortunately, I didn't catch Irwin til he took a sabbatical.
	10:15pm coelacanth∅: ...this is the soundtrack to meal preparation - excuse me...
	10:15pm Mod Mokka Matti: Is someone eating chicken? I hear a lot of smacking,
	10:16pm Rich in Washington: They're using the chicken to measure it
	10:17pm Franco Twinkie: Phyllis was a natural. I think she wrote a book about hanging out at the log cabin.
	10:18pm Cp304: i wish there were chicks like this around here..
	10:20pm ultradamno: Captain Beefheart vs. the Grunt People www.donlope.net...
	10:21pm Franco Twinkie: Come to L.A. Cp304. Girls like that are everywhere. There is one sitting in the kitchen eating pizza as a matter of fact.
	10:22pm Cp304: lol Franco.. it's 3000 miles from moms and pops tho..
	10:22pm Mod Mokka Matti: Those Grunt People rolling around and over everything in their Gruntrucks.
	10:24pm Cp304: sounds familiar to Jonas Salk..
	10:25pm Rich in Washington: It just suddenly started raining really hard up here. I had to take my headphones off to see what that really loud noise I was hearing on my mic when talking.
	10:26pm Franco Twinkie: Burroughs was a lot of things, including a forecaster of doom.
	10:27pm Aitch: I read Cities of the Red Night when I was about 15. My first Burroughs. Totally warped my mind
	10:27pm Franco Twinkie: This also is very good.
	10:28pm Rich in Washington: I found Junky in my public library and then read Naked Lunch and my brain melted. I still like to randomly pick up the later and read passages from it.
	10:29pm Rich in Washington: I was stuck for a show title today and picked up Nova Express and flipped to a random page.
	10:29pm Rich in Washington: but late night DJs in my town used to frequently play Burroughs stuff and that really hooked me.
	10:30pm Franco Twinkie: This is the way I like my poison served - steaming and smelly.
	10:33pm Franco Twinkie: No polished chrome horror show - just the human situation at it's most venial.
	10:38pm Franco Twinkie: Good transition!
	10:39pm Rich in Washington: I wanted to get away from the barrage of N words. I hadn't listened to that piece in years. Ugh.
	10:40pm ultradamno: Daz Darkside had a series of polls pitting the Slates songs against each other, the final tally was Leave The Capitol 34 Prole Art Threat 22 Middle Mass 21 Fit and Working Again 20 Slates, Slags, Etc 20 An Older Lover 19
	10:41pm Rich in Washington: all of those are fine songs.
	10:41pm ultradamno: If you had you could launched into The Classical. Veer into the skid
	10:42pm Franco Twinkie: William S. Burroughs and Mark E. Smith both reach critical mass. Something most of us can only aspire to.
	10:42pm Rich in Washington: I've been thinking of this EP. I think it's had an anniversary or something.
	10:43pm ultradamno: Big 4-0, the Hawaii anniversary
	10:43pm Mod Mokka Matti: This pulsing beat is making me feel woozy.
	10:44pm ultradamno: Oh, wait, that's 5-0, never mind.
	10:44pm coelacanth∅: i have no choice but to eat to the beat
	10:44pm Mod Mokka Matti: And I have olume so low as a I work that Mark's voice is really messing with me.
	10:45pm Mod Mokka Matti: I guess I'm one of those deservedly suffering people then...
	10:46pm coelacanth∅: - still wondering about < her is it "Ms.Lane"? and if so who is Ms. Lane?
	10:47pm ultradamno: Anita...who passed this week.
	10:48pm ultradamno: ...and worked with Cave and whose pic is under the playlist
	10:48pm Aitch: In so late, waiting for end of show to go back to the start. Wild looking set there Rich.
	10:49pm Rich in Washington: Hi Aitch!
	10:50pm Cp304: @ Rich thanks so much @ peoples love ya's
	10:50pm coelacanth∅: Thanks ultra. i didn't know the name but i guess i've heard her before ...rest in peace, Anita. ...too young.
	10:50pm Aitch: Saw Melvins out here maybe 2018. Fab live, smashed it
	10:50pm ironybread: It's pronounced "Sister Zenda No Bottom"
	10:53pm Rich in Washington: Collapsing New Buildings would be a great band name for Portland.
	10:54pm Rich in Washington: Melvins was the second to last show I attended before the big C hit.
	10:54pm ultradamno: As she appeared on the back cover of From Her To Eternity. She's on the right 66.media.tumblr.com...
	10:54pm Franco Twinkie: This was a terrific show for a real hot day in L.A. I got very little done and felt like I was going to faint, but Sheena made it all better.
	10:54pm Aitch: Someone played Collapsing New People the other day, Fad Gadget
	10:55pm Rich in Washington: There's also a small pic of here in the inside sleeve of Junk Yard.
	10:55pm Mod Mokka Matti: I reckon being of partial German ancestry, and all those years of studying the language from Jr. High through Uni served at least one purpose, after all... being able to authentically pronounce somewhat obscure/alt band names of Teutonic origins.
	10:55pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, Franco! Don't faint!
	10:57pm Mod Mokka Matti: Wow, show's over... well, shoot. Thanks Rich!
	10:58pm coelacanth∅: oh i know that picture... Thanks ultra ...strange that geeky me didn't read - or forgot, about her before
	10:59pm ultradamno: Till next week turkeynecks!
	10:59pm ironybread: Another brilliant installment, Rich, yer awesome!
	11:00pm Franco Twinkie: Turkey necks slathered with hot malaise.
	11:00pm ultradamno: Which is the last Bandcamp Friday on schedule, I believe and the day I'll be fully vaccinated.
	11:01pm coelacanth∅: Brilliant program Thanks Rich!
	11:01pm chresti: Thanks Rich! I was in a getty images wormhole (thanks ultrad)
	11:02pm Franco Twinkie: You can't write about being vile, without being vile yourself.
	11:04pm Rich in Washington: Thanks everybody! You rawk! MWAAAH!
