	1:34pm worldsworstrecords: Oh, I had better not disappoint then!
	♥ 1:44pm DJ GeorgyGirl: You never do, silly! :-)
	♥ 1:47pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I've just eaten a mountain of VERY garlicky pasta, so apologies for the whiff :-)
	1:48pm worldsworstrecords: blush
	1:48pm worldsworstrecords: Don't worry... I'll just imagine I'm listening in Odorama
	♥ 1:49pm DJ GeorgyGirl: LOL!
	1:55pm Jay Pemberton: Ravioli beckons here!
	♥ 1:55pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hello Jay! We're in the pasta club! :-)

	1:58pm worldsworstrecords: hey Rich!
	1:59pm worldsworstrecords: Just over a minute to go! Don't forget to refresh those pop-up players!
	♥ 1:59pm Rich in Washington: Hi Jay! Hi worldsworstrecords! Howdy everyone!
	♥ 1:59pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Good Lord! I haven't got my speakers plugged in ... I'll wake up in a minute.
	♥ 1:59pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I blame the garlic ;-)
	♥ 1:59pm MHLee: This will be interesting
	♥ 1:59pm Rich in Washington: Been listening to Jan's show while stuffing envelopes.
	2:00pm worldsworstrecords: ...and we're off!
	♥ 2:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: MHLee! Hello :-)
	♥ 2:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Dear old Oli :-)
	2:00pm worldsworstrecords: Thanks for joining us, MHLee
	♥ 2:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: DISCO!!!
	2:01pm worldsworstrecords: ...and yes, it will definitely be interesting!
	♥ 2:01pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Sex-ay!
	♥ 2:01pm Feldpausch: Ten seconds in and this is wild
	2:02pm worldsworstrecords: Adam F! Hola!
	♥ 2:02pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Adam! :-)
	♥ 2:02pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Gemini. Taurus moon. Libra rising. Thanks for asking :-)
	2:02pm worldsworstrecords: Hey hey sexy...
	♥ 2:02pm Rich in Washington: Hey Feldpausch!
	2:02pm worldsworstrecords: ...what's your Zodiac?
	♥ 2:02pm Feldpausch: HI GEORGY! Hi Darryl, Rich, MHLee, Jay!
	♥ 2:03pm Rich in Washington: My zodiac sign is Spiney Norman.
	♥ 2:03pm Feldpausch: Okay I've asked you fifteen times, what's your Zodiacccc???
	2:04pm worldsworstrecords: Ford Zodiac
	2:04pm worldsworstrecords: DINSDALE!!!
	♥ 2:04pm DJ GeorgyGirl: DINSDAAAAAAAAAAAAAALE!
	♥ 2:05pm Rich in Washington: :)
	♥ 2:05pm MHLee: The real question is are there any good song poems?
	♥ 2:05pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Top Tip. Don't burp if you've eaten garlic. Eek.
	2:05pm Jay Pemberton: One idea I had for a title for this special was MUSIC FROM COLUMBINE....RECORDS.
	♥ 2:06pm Rich in Washington: They're ALL good, in my book!
	2:06pm worldsworstrecords: I guess that depends on your point of view. Betsy and Her Goat or Gretchen's New Disc are pretty spectacular
	♥ 2:06pm DJ GeorgyGirl: One man's trash is another man's treasure :-)
	2:06pm worldsworstrecords: *Dish
	2:06pm worldsworstrecords: Bill Joy's How Long Are You Staying... coming up soon... what a classic!
	♥ 2:07pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I am genuinely in Disco Heaven right now :-)
	2:07pm worldsworstrecords: yay!
	♥ 2:09pm MHLee: Ho, I Got to Find You Baby I think has the same amateurish quality they all have but the singer goes all in on it... it's delivered so passionately that I elevate it
	♥ 2:09pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Wacka chacka wacka chacka :-)
	♥ 2:09pm Beany: I was listening on my phone honest! I forgot I had to boot up the old pc to comment...
	2:10pm worldsworstrecords: Beany! Hello!
	♥ 2:10pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Beany! :-)
	2:10pm Jay Pemberton: I don't remember where I read about the recycling of backing tracks used for a number of song-poem recordings at some companies....I wonder if anyone has examples of two or more different song-poem records that used the exact same backing track for all of them?
	2:10pm worldsworstrecords: there is a WFMU app Beany, but it's not easy to use
	♥ 2:11pm Beany: I see the gang are all here in their best spandex dancing leotards.
	2:11pm worldsworstrecords: I have loads Hay... literally dozens: Halmark did that all the time, but Preview as well... there are a couple of Rodd keith tracks that se the same backing that are now big in the Northern Sould scene
	♥ 2:11pm Rich in Washington: are you going to play anything from Royal Master Recordings?
	♥ 2:11pm Beany: I was using that Mr B but it decided to buffer your show,
	2:11pm worldsworstrecords: *Jay, not Hay!!
	♥ 2:11pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Beany - Too right!
	2:12pm worldsworstrecords: bad app!
	♥ 2:12pm MHLee: @jay i wonder if they ever stole backing tracks from legitimate hits... they don't exact seem the most reputable companies
	♥ 2:13pm Paper Kosmonaut: Hi de Hi peeps. I missed Jan's show but I had to make a raised bedding for my GF's garden and then I had to get some pizzas and then we had to eat them so there.
	♥ 2:13pm Beany: I think Darryl should start a UK-based song poem company.
	2:13pm worldsworstrecords: Hey PK!
	♥ 2:13pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi PK! :-)
	♥ 2:13pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Beany - Seconded!
	2:13pm worldsworstrecords: hah... maybe Beany :-)
	♥ 2:13pm Paper Kosmonaut: Hello there.
	♥ 2:14pm Rich in Washington: I think this and the Richard Nixon one are my all time favorite Song Poem tracks.
	♥ 2:14pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Rich - My God, that Nixon one. Lol
	2:14pm worldsworstrecords: It's great, isn't it Rich? Political song-poems are the best
	2:15pm worldsworstrecords: We Want Dick!
	♥ 2:15pm Sem: Alomng for th fun. Hello, DWB, and the world's worst lovers.
	♥ 2:15pm Beany: There must be some bad Trump song poems somewhere.
	♥ 2:15pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi there Sem! :-)
	2:15pm worldsworstrecords: Hi Sem :-)
	♥ 2:16pm Rich in Washington: when I was a teenager, I discovered the joy of reading letters-to-the-editor of small town newspapers. When I learned about Song Poems, it's like those crackpot missives set to music.
	2:16pm worldsworstrecords: THis may well be my favourite song-poem record ever
	♥ 2:16pm Sem: hi, gg. Gotta learn to type, ONE DAY.
	♥ 2:16pm Rich in Washington: I would imagine so, Beany! I'm afraid to look, though.
	♥ 2:16pm Feldpausch: Disco/Crisco :D
	♥ 2:16pm Rich in Washington: Oh god. This is exceptionally vile. Right on!
	♥ 2:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Yeah .... Crisco in a disco setting doesn't equate to cake, Billy love. Lol
	2:17pm worldsworstrecords: disco Cisco Frisco Crisco Marisco...
	♥ 2:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Sem - I wouldn't worry :-) My fingers get mangled through the course of a show :-)
	♥ 2:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Nabisco
	♥ 2:17pm Rich in Washington: Crisco and disco conjures up some imagery.
	♥ 2:17pm MHLee: @rich Honestly if i found a good crackpot letter I might submit it to see what comes out.... i remember a few years back I found a few companies still exist... but the other day I could find them
	2:18pm worldsworstrecords: hahaha! perfect GG
	♥ 2:18pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Episco-palian ;-)
	♥ 2:18pm MHLee: *could not
	♥ 2:18pm Rich in Washington: M.S.R. must've really needed to make rent when they cut this one.
	2:18pm Jay Pemberton: And have to take a pissco somewhere along the way....
	2:19pm worldsworstrecords: hahah!
	♥ 2:19pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Jay - There you go! ;-)
	♥ 2:19pm Paper Kosmonaut: IN the not-worst-record-world I just came along the "slip of the tongue"- EP by Imelda May. Some very good (intense, humourous, erotic) poems on sound and music. Well done stuff.
	♥ 2:19pm Beany: This sounds quite English
	♥ 2:19pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - I do love me some Imelda May :-)
	♥ 2:19pm Rich in Washington: Hank Williams Jr.'s ode to Sarah Palin several years ago veers wildly into Song Poem level badness, but that's Bocephus for you.
	2:19pm Jay Pemberton: Imelda's a hoot.
	♥ 2:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Beany - I was just thinking that ... any relation to Nik?
	2:20pm worldsworstrecords: sounds like that's worth checking out, PK
	♥ 2:20pm Paper Kosmonaut: Rick Kershaw and Rik Kershaw should do a duet.
	♥ 2:20pm MHLee: There's a song that was a recording of a spam email commissioned on fiverr that might could as a song poem
	♥ 2:20pm Paper Kosmonaut: Oh yeah Nik. that was it.
	2:20pm worldsworstrecords: My favourite new album at the moment is the Man On Man lp... it's filthy!
	2:20pm Jay Pemberton: I wish someone like a Weird Al would spoof a Hank Jr song--call it 'Family perdition' or something.
	♥ 2:20pm Beany: More like Liz Kershaw - she has an interesting recording career
	♥ 2:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MHLee - Now THAT I would like to hear :-)
	2:21pm worldsworstrecords: Liz and Bruno...
	♥ 2:21pm MHLee: but on fiverr you get one artist.. i love that these song-poems have full backing bands
	♥ 2:21pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Beany - Andy, Liz, Nik, and Rick. the Family Kershaw. Greatest band ever :-)
	♥ 2:21pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I love this ad - all the way and then you hit "Leo Sayer". Lol
	♥ 2:22pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): oh! for a second I thought I was spared this song, but I'd accidentally muted. Hello, Darryl and all you disco bunnies!!!!
	♥ 2:22pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Mx Baba Bee!!! <3
	2:22pm worldsworstrecords: Hello, Mx. Baba Bee!
	♥ 2:22pm Beany: True fact. Andy Kershaw drove me to my wedding. Liz recorded as Dawn Chorus & the Blue Tits with Carol Vorderman.
	2:23pm worldsworstrecords: I was aware of both of those facts, Beany ;-)
	♥ 2:23pm DJ GeorgyGirl: If you haven't encountered him yet, the wonderful Disco Bunny is worth Googling. He's a lovely man who goes around the UK dancing in the streets to make people happy. I've met him many times in Brighton and he is a joy :-)
	2:23pm worldsworstrecords: how fab, GG
	2:24pm Jay Pemberton: Good old Vordernorks!
	♥ 2:24pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Beany - "Andy Kershaw Drove Me To My Wedding" sounds like the perfect autobiography title :-)
	♥ 2:24pm MHLee: @gg apparently there are now like five versions of it the spam email song... there's one that says viking version and I'm horrified
	♥ 2:24pm Beany: I repeat myself. It's an age thing 8-{
	♥ 2:24pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MHLee - Viking version?? That does sound terrifying
	2:24pm worldsworstrecords: lol!
	♥ 2:25pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): GG my darling! So lovely to disco with you today!
	♥ 2:26pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mx Baba Bee - Always so happy to see you! <3
	♥ 2:26pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Mine could be called "I Once Snogged Adrian Boswell Off Bread". Lol
	♥ 2:26pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Does the body shaper make my body ANY shape I want?
	♥ 2:27pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I've got my own body plan, you see.
	2:27pm worldsworstrecords: absolutely!
	♥ 2:27pm Beany: That's better. I was still listening on the app. You are now in STEREO awfulness...
	♥ 2:27pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mx Baba Bee - And can I change it daily according to my mood? :-)
	♥ 2:27pm Rich in Washington: Butt AND Buttocks? What the hell is he talking about?
	♥ 2:27pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): My rock star memoir title is "I ran away from Robin Zander!"
	♥ 2:28pm MHLee: the scam song is the John Warosa/Barosa song... and it's a meta joke... there was a scammer who originally contacted as John Barosa but on the next email responded as John Warosa... the guy who was dealing with the scammer now runs emails accounts those names to respond to scammers and add confusion
	♥ 2:28pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Rich - Maybe you can shape an individual arse cheek at a time? Lol
	♥ 2:28pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Rich: there's so much to learn!
	♥ 2:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: You could have one perfectly shaped butt cheek, and one that's all wizened and flabby, and you'd have to walk into rooms sideways.
	2:29pm Jay Pemberton: Who knows how this was engineered....it's weird.
	♥ 2:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: This is why I get insomnia. Lol
	♥ 2:29pm Rich in Washington: It was done underwater, Jay.
	♥ 2:29pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I did know a wise person who informed me that there are three parts to an arse, "The left cheek, the right cheek, and the ravine down the middle!"
	2:30pm Don-O: I HAD to join in the discoing!!!!
	♥ 2:30pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Don-O: let's see your moves!!!
	2:30pm worldsworstrecords: Hey Don-O... welcome!
	♥ 2:30pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mx Baba Bee - is it really called a ravine? I really want that to be true because I will use that in casual conversation. ;-)
	♥ 2:30pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Don-O!
	2:30pm Don-O: I'm currently cracking knuckles. Good enough?
	♥ 2:31pm Beany: Were any of these LPs ever reissued on CD Darryl?
	2:31pm worldsworstrecords: Some of the individual tracks have been collated, Beany
	2:31pm Don-O: BTW, I never heard the word 'discoing' before!!
	♥ 2:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: She is tiii-iii-ii-me
	♥ 2:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Don-O - Sheena: Entertaining AND educational! :-)
	2:32pm worldsworstrecords: some of the later song-poem labels put out cds in the 90s
	2:32pm Jay Pemberton: That gets into some weird time signature now and then!
	♥ 2:32pm DJ GeorgyGirl: God, I love disco <3
	♥ 2:33pm Beany: If I found them I probably would not have time to play them. I'm hoping for a few quite days to catch up recent purchases and get some mailing done ;-)
	2:34pm worldsworstrecords: Now, I shall not be here next week, but I have a show ready for you all and the lovely DJ GeorgyGirl is going to look after the message board in my abcess
	♥ 2:34pm MHLee: Are there any song-poem labels still left? Ramsey Kearny's sight is still up but he is now deceased.
	♥ 2:34pm Beany: quiet
	♥ 2:34pm MHLee: *site
	2:34pm Don-O: ALL of this is so far wonderfully terrible...more so than the mainstream stuff.
	♥ 2:34pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I am indeed - you're in safe hands, Darryl! I shall keep the conversation lively for you :-)
	2:34pm worldsworstrecords: I Think Magic Key is still running
	♥ 2:35pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): GG: the person who said so was a sort of French punk rock sage to many of us in SF. In her youth, she tried to dose the spring at Lourdes with LSD!
	2:35pm Jay Pemberton: So modems will melt to the strains of Mark and the Omni and who knows what else? LOL
	♥ 2:35pm Rich in Washington: everybody's seen the Off The Charts - The Song Poem documentary, right?
	♥ 2:35pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mx Baba Bee - In that case, she is one of my new icons :-)
	♥ 2:35pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): The thing about disco, is it doesn't matter how mediocre or awful it is, it's still disco and therefore I love it.
	2:35pm worldsworstrecords: oh yes.. I have it on dvd
	♥ 2:36pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mx Baba Bee - We are Disco Bunnies to the MAX! :-)
	♥ 2:36pm Paper Kosmonaut: This sounds like someone rummaged in the bin after a Duran Duran recording session and used the discarded tape to record her own song.
	2:36pm Bri: Very No-waves vibe
	♥ 2:36pm Beany: That DJ GG will make sure we behave when teacher is not leading the class.
	2:36pm worldsworstrecords: Hi Bri!
	2:36pm Bri: I need to see the song poems documentary! I forgot about it!
	2:37pm Don-O: Rich, Yup, I seen and heard Off The Charts doc. I HAD a copy on DVD. I gotta look for it again....
	♥ 2:37pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): GG: YES! I will even wear bunny ears as I bust out my amazing disco moves!
	2:37pm Bri: It sort of does Paper Kosmonaut!
	♥ 2:37pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Beany - No! I shall encourage all manner of shenanigans ;-)
	♥ 2:37pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Bri: wait, what, there's a song-poems doc!?!??!?
	♥ 2:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: BRI!! Hello! :-)
	♥ 2:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mx Baba Bee - I shall join you with my unicorn horn :-)
	2:38pm worldsworstrecords: I have a pair of Louise Belcher bunny ears
	♥ 2:38pm MHLee: @WWR you're right but the website isn't under magic key name... I do like that they don't have pricing upfront and make it appear as though your submission has to be accepted... very wholesome
	2:39pm Bri: GG!! Hey! 😊
	2:39pm worldsworstrecords: It's called 'Off the Charts', Mx. Baba Bee
	♥ 2:39pm Rich in Washington: It sounds like Bill Laswell is playing on this. Not judging. Everyone's gotta eat.
	2:39pm Jay Pemberton: A friend of mine's dad once sent in a poem to one of those song-poem places. He didn't even get a pressed record--got a somewhat wow-laden single-sided 10" lacquer cut at 45 rpm with the finished recording on it. He hated it....
	♥ 2:39pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Bri - How are you doing, my lovely?
	♥ 2:40pm Beany: Don't forget UK people. Delia Derbyshire: The Myths and the Legendary Tapes. BBC4 Sunday.
	2:40pm Bri: Apparently there is Granny! My creative writing teacher told us about it a lot several years ago. Finally got around to hearing the Song Poems Cd last year and a bit of the Christmas one on Christmas
	2:40pm worldsworstrecords: I have a bunch of song-poem acetates, Jay... love them
	♥ 2:40pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Beany - Yes!! Looking forward to that :-)
	2:41pm worldsworstrecords: Oh, I shall have to record that Beany: I shall be in Lincolnshire for the week
	2:41pm Bri: I’ve been doing better GG, I had a low point with my mental health, I was diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder Bipolar type, so I’ve been dealing with that.
	♥ 2:41pm Rich in Washington: I'm in touch with John Trubee, the ultimate Song Poem troll. He's featured pretty prominently in the doc. He's still making music and trying to sell it, but it's more in a sardonic, Frank Zappa-esque vein.
	♥ 2:41pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Bri - Oh, I'm sorry to hear that <3 I'm glad you're on the road to feeling better tho x
	2:42pm Bri: That sounds like a great doc Beany!
	2:42pm worldsworstrecords: Blind Man's Penis
	2:42pm Don-O: Funk With Me?!
	♥ 2:42pm Beany: I'm too ahem young to remember recording booths where you could press your own discs. Nowadays it is so easy with a computer. Where are all those potential WWR recordings now?
	♥ 2:43pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Beany - It's called "YouTube". Lol
	♥ 2:43pm Rich in Washington: Oh yeah! Thanks for the reminder, Beany! I'm going to try to capture it, as sometimes those BBC things disappear or are otherwise unavailable outside of the UK.
	2:43pm Jay Pemberton: Re some of the stuff from last week, I have the entire Clemency CD uploaded as mp3s (the $7000 migraine generator) as well as all the tracks from the Al Petty/Love Creative Concepts Steel Guitorchestra demo tape.
	♥ 2:43pm MHLee: @beany Tiny Tim apparently recorded tons of those and gave them to women... I really wonder how many unheard tributes still exist.
	♥ 2:43pm DJ GeorgyGirl: My name is Karen??
	2:44pm Bri: OMG. A blind man’s penis is not erect because he’s blind!
	2:44pm worldsworstrecords: ohhh.... very nice Jay :-)
	♥ 2:44pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Bri: yes, this is the artist formerly known as Granny. I mutated! Great to see you!
	2:44pm worldsworstrecords: Kip, I think GG
	♥ 2:44pm Rich in Washington: Oh wow! This is something...
	2:44pm Bri: Thanks GG! 💗
	♥ 2:44pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Darryl - Oh!!! LOL
	♥ 2:44pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Bri - <3
	2:44pm Bri: I thought BBC 4 was about to no longer have original content?
	♥ 2:45pm MHLee: killer guitar
	2:45pm worldsworstrecords: it's still nonsense, whatever his name is
	♥ 2:45pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Darryl - I've been watching too many "Karens in the Wild" videos. ;-)
	♥ 2:45pm Rich in Washington: The documentary - with Derbyshire featured prominently - Sisters With Transistors is very good. Well made and extremely informative.
	2:45pm worldsworstrecords: There was talk of that, Bri, but I think they had a rethink after people complained
	♥ 2:46pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I have so much stuff to catch up on ...
	2:46pm Bri: Good! I quite enjoy their documentaries
	2:46pm worldsworstrecords: me too
	♥ 2:47pm Beany: GG - I have yet to watch It's A Sin.
	2:47pm Jay Pemberton: I saw a rant someone had about one of the BBC channels having nothing new to offer so they ran a repeat of a 1979 FAWLTY TOWERS episode.
	2:47pm Mr Fab: Hey gang! Been listening all morn but super busy. My gawd, Ralph Lowe's "Funk With Us" really was the perfect white-man's overbite dance track. You could just hear the Member's Only jacket he must have been wearing.
	♥ 2:48pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Beany - Same. I need a week off :-)
	2:48pm worldsworstrecords: Fawlty Towers is currently on every week on BBC1
	♥ 2:48pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Mr Fab! :-)
	2:48pm worldsworstrecords: hey Mr F!
	♥ 2:48pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): hey, Bri, sending you lots of love. It helps me to remember that a diagnosis is a helpful framework for understanding the experience—not an identity. <3
	2:49pm Jay Pemberton: I know of people who'd love to see them repeat Lena Zavaroni's 1979-1982 series!
	2:49pm Bri: I think it’s great they air old shows!
	♥ 2:49pm Rich in Washington: What's that BBC radio series where they tell real stories, but with actors - they're little radio dramas? They did one based on Pauline Butcher Bird's book about being Zappa's personal assistant and another on Delia Derbyshire. They're rather corny in the style of an American soap opera, over the top and not too great acting.
	2:49pm worldsworstrecords: hah, I can't tink about 'Member's Only' jackets without thinking of Rosario from Will and Grace
	2:49pm Jay Pemberton: Great if they leave them in their original form!
	♥ 2:49pm Beany: I love Lena.
	♥ 2:49pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Jay - Oh, Lena. She was so lovely <3
	2:49pm worldsworstrecords: I don't know, Rich
	2:50pm worldsworstrecords: Daaaance!
	2:50pm Bri: Fawlty towers is still hilarious, definitely more than any new sitcom
	♥ 2:50pm MHLee: Oh this is awful
	2:50pm worldsworstrecords: thank you, MHLee :-)
	♥ 2:50pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Rich - Doesn't ring any bells .. Sounds like something I'd like tho!
	2:51pm Jay Pemberton: I'm one of the co-mods of the Lena Zavaroni Tribute Fund Facebook group dedicated to her.
	2:51pm worldsworstrecords: Two more song-poems to go, then it's all over to Georgy's place for High Waisted Modernists: www.wfmu.org...
	♥ 2:51pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Lloyd Marshall is making my DAY!!!!
	♥ 2:51pm MHLee: It's like daniel Johnston had a computer glitch
	♥ 2:51pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Jay - Oh! <3
	2:51pm Don-O: Lyrics....but what about the beat?!
	2:51pm Bri: Thanks Granny! <3
	2:51pm worldsworstrecords: MHLee! LOL!!
	♥ 2:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thank you for yet another superlative show, Darryl! :-) x
	2:52pm Mr Fab: that was just crap-tacular!
	2:52pm Bri: Speaking of old re-runs, I’ve been watching a lot of old Top of the Pops lately
	2:52pm worldsworstrecords: You're welcome, my lovely
	2:52pm Don-O: I'll have to catch the rest much later. Mondo thanks for the.....disco....?
	♥ 2:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: There is, quite literally, NO disco that I hate. None. :-)
	2:52pm Jay Pemberton: Wow, that was horrid! What happened--the lyric was written on a matchbook, and only room for the word 'dance'? LOL
	♥ 2:52pm Rich in Washington: WHAT?!
	♥ 2:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Bri - Ah yes! With all the gaps ;-)
	2:52pm worldsworstrecords: c'mon everybody! Let's Penetrate!
	♥ 2:53pm Beany: I must find that Jay. I found an LP on Darryl's patch Bristol with a signed inner sleeve by Lena.

	♥ 2:54pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Beany - It's a steep challenge ;-)
	♥ 2:55pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Bri - various artists and DJs who later proved to be not at all decent human beings so the BBC don't show their episodes.

	1:34pm worldsworstrecords: Oh, I had better not disappoint then!
	♥ 1:44pm DJ GeorgyGirl: You never do, silly! :-)
	♥ 1:47pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I've just eaten a mountain of VERY garlicky pasta, so apologies for the whiff :-)
	1:48pm worldsworstrecords: blush
	1:48pm worldsworstrecords: Don't worry... I'll just imagine I'm listening in Odorama
	♥ 1:49pm DJ GeorgyGirl: LOL!
	1:55pm Jay Pemberton: Ravioli beckons here!
	♥ 1:55pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hello Jay! We're in the pasta club! :-)

	♥ 1:59pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Good Lord! I haven't got my speakers plugged in ... I'll wake up in a minute.
	♥ 1:59pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I blame the garlic ;-)
	♥ 1:59pm MHLee: This will be interesting
	♥ 1:59pm Rich in Washington: Been listening to Jan's show while stuffing envelopes.
	2:00pm worldsworstrecords: ...and we're off!

	♥ 2:00pm DJ GeorgyGirl: DISCO!!!
	2:01pm worldsworstrecords: ...and yes, it will definitely be interesting!
	♥ 2:01pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Sex-ay!
	♥ 2:01pm Feldpausch: Ten seconds in and this is wild
	2:02pm worldsworstrecords: Adam F! Hola!
	♥ 2:02pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Adam! :-)
	♥ 2:02pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Gemini. Taurus moon. Libra rising. Thanks for asking :-)

	2:04pm worldsworstrecords: Ford Zodiac
	2:04pm worldsworstrecords: DINSDALE!!!
	♥ 2:04pm DJ GeorgyGirl: DINSDAAAAAAAAAAAAAALE!
	♥ 2:05pm Rich in Washington: :)
	♥ 2:05pm MHLee: The real question is are there any good song poems?
	♥ 2:05pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Top Tip. Don't burp if you've eaten garlic. Eek.
	2:05pm Jay Pemberton: One idea I had for a title for this special was MUSIC FROM COLUMBINE....RECORDS.
	♥ 2:06pm Rich in Washington: They're ALL good, in my book!
	2:06pm worldsworstrecords: I guess that depends on your point of view. Betsy and Her Goat or Gretchen's New Disc are pretty spectacular
	♥ 2:06pm DJ GeorgyGirl: One man's trash is another man's treasure :-)
	2:06pm worldsworstrecords: *Dish
	2:06pm worldsworstrecords: Bill Joy's How Long Are You Staying... coming up soon... what a classic!
	♥ 2:07pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I am genuinely in Disco Heaven right now :-)
	2:07pm worldsworstrecords: yay!
	♥ 2:09pm MHLee: Ho, I Got to Find You Baby I think has the same amateurish quality they all have but the singer goes all in on it... it's delivered so passionately that I elevate it
	♥ 2:09pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Wacka chacka wacka chacka :-)
	♥ 2:09pm Beany: I was listening on my phone honest! I forgot I had to boot up the old pc to comment...
	2:10pm worldsworstrecords: Beany! Hello!
	♥ 2:10pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Beany! :-)
	2:10pm Jay Pemberton: I don't remember where I read about the recycling of backing tracks used for a number of song-poem recordings at some companies....I wonder if anyone has examples of two or more different song-poem records that used the exact same backing track for all of them?
	2:10pm worldsworstrecords: there is a WFMU app Beany, but it's not easy to use
	♥ 2:11pm Beany: I see the gang are all here in their best spandex dancing leotards.
	2:11pm worldsworstrecords: I have loads Hay... literally dozens: Halmark did that all the time, but Preview as well... there are a couple of Rodd keith tracks that se the same backing that are now big in the Northern Sould scene
	♥ 2:11pm Rich in Washington: are you going to play anything from Royal Master Recordings?
	♥ 2:11pm Beany: I was using that Mr B but it decided to buffer your show,
	2:11pm worldsworstrecords: *Jay, not Hay!!
	♥ 2:11pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Beany - Too right!
	2:12pm worldsworstrecords: bad app!
	♥ 2:12pm MHLee: @jay i wonder if they ever stole backing tracks from legitimate hits... they don't exact seem the most reputable companies
	♥ 2:13pm Paper Kosmonaut: Hi de Hi peeps. I missed Jan's show but I had to make a raised bedding for my GF's garden and then I had to get some pizzas and then we had to eat them so there.
	♥ 2:13pm Beany: I think Darryl should start a UK-based song poem company.
	2:13pm worldsworstrecords: Hey PK!
	♥ 2:13pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi PK! :-)
	♥ 2:13pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Beany - Seconded!
	2:13pm worldsworstrecords: hah... maybe Beany :-)
	♥ 2:13pm Paper Kosmonaut: Hello there.
	♥ 2:14pm Rich in Washington: I think this and the Richard Nixon one are my all time favorite Song Poem tracks.
	♥ 2:14pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Rich - My God, that Nixon one. Lol
	2:14pm worldsworstrecords: It's great, isn't it Rich? Political song-poems are the best
	2:15pm worldsworstrecords: We Want Dick!
	♥ 2:15pm Sem: Alomng for th fun. Hello, DWB, and the world's worst lovers.
	♥ 2:15pm Beany: There must be some bad Trump song poems somewhere.
	♥ 2:15pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi there Sem! :-)
	2:15pm worldsworstrecords: Hi Sem :-)
	♥ 2:16pm Rich in Washington: when I was a teenager, I discovered the joy of reading letters-to-the-editor of small town newspapers. When I learned about Song Poems, it's like those crackpot missives set to music.
	2:16pm worldsworstrecords: THis may well be my favourite song-poem record ever
	♥ 2:16pm Sem: hi, gg. Gotta learn to type, ONE DAY.
	♥ 2:16pm Rich in Washington: I would imagine so, Beany! I'm afraid to look, though.
	♥ 2:16pm Feldpausch: Disco/Crisco :D
	♥ 2:16pm Rich in Washington: Oh god. This is exceptionally vile. Right on!
	♥ 2:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Yeah .... Crisco in a disco setting doesn't equate to cake, Billy love. Lol
	2:17pm worldsworstrecords: disco Cisco Frisco Crisco Marisco...
	♥ 2:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Sem - I wouldn't worry :-) My fingers get mangled through the course of a show :-)
	♥ 2:17pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Nabisco
	♥ 2:17pm Rich in Washington: Crisco and disco conjures up some imagery.
	♥ 2:17pm MHLee: @rich Honestly if i found a good crackpot letter I might submit it to see what comes out.... i remember a few years back I found a few companies still exist... but the other day I could find them
	2:18pm worldsworstrecords: hahaha! perfect GG
	♥ 2:18pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Episco-palian ;-)
	♥ 2:18pm MHLee: *could not
	♥ 2:18pm Rich in Washington: M.S.R. must've really needed to make rent when they cut this one.
	2:18pm Jay Pemberton: And have to take a pissco somewhere along the way....
	2:19pm worldsworstrecords: hahah!
	♥ 2:19pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Jay - There you go! ;-)
	♥ 2:19pm Paper Kosmonaut: IN the not-worst-record-world I just came along the "slip of the tongue"- EP by Imelda May. Some very good (intense, humourous, erotic) poems on sound and music. Well done stuff.
	♥ 2:19pm Beany: This sounds quite English
	♥ 2:19pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @PK - I do love me some Imelda May :-)
	♥ 2:19pm Rich in Washington: Hank Williams Jr.'s ode to Sarah Palin several years ago veers wildly into Song Poem level badness, but that's Bocephus for you.
	2:19pm Jay Pemberton: Imelda's a hoot.
	♥ 2:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Beany - I was just thinking that ... any relation to Nik?
	2:20pm worldsworstrecords: sounds like that's worth checking out, PK
	♥ 2:20pm Paper Kosmonaut: Rick Kershaw and Rik Kershaw should do a duet.
	♥ 2:20pm MHLee: There's a song that was a recording of a spam email commissioned on fiverr that might could as a song poem
	♥ 2:20pm Paper Kosmonaut: Oh yeah Nik. that was it.
	2:20pm worldsworstrecords: My favourite new album at the moment is the Man On Man lp... it's filthy!
	2:20pm Jay Pemberton: I wish someone like a Weird Al would spoof a Hank Jr song--call it 'Family perdition' or something.
	♥ 2:20pm Beany: More like Liz Kershaw - she has an interesting recording career
	♥ 2:20pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MHLee - Now THAT I would like to hear :-)
	2:21pm worldsworstrecords: Liz and Bruno...
	♥ 2:21pm MHLee: but on fiverr you get one artist.. i love that these song-poems have full backing bands
	♥ 2:21pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Beany - Andy, Liz, Nik, and Rick. the Family Kershaw. Greatest band ever :-)
	♥ 2:21pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I love this ad - all the way and then you hit "Leo Sayer". Lol
	♥ 2:22pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): oh! for a second I thought I was spared this song, but I'd accidentally muted. Hello, Darryl and all you disco bunnies!!!!
	♥ 2:22pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Mx Baba Bee!!! <3
	2:22pm worldsworstrecords: Hello, Mx. Baba Bee!
	♥ 2:22pm Beany: True fact. Andy Kershaw drove me to my wedding. Liz recorded as Dawn Chorus & the Blue Tits with Carol Vorderman.
	2:23pm worldsworstrecords: I was aware of both of those facts, Beany ;-)
	♥ 2:23pm DJ GeorgyGirl: If you haven't encountered him yet, the wonderful Disco Bunny is worth Googling. He's a lovely man who goes around the UK dancing in the streets to make people happy. I've met him many times in Brighton and he is a joy :-)
	2:23pm worldsworstrecords: how fab, GG
	2:24pm Jay Pemberton: Good old Vordernorks!
	♥ 2:24pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Beany - "Andy Kershaw Drove Me To My Wedding" sounds like the perfect autobiography title :-)
	♥ 2:24pm MHLee: @gg apparently there are now like five versions of it the spam email song... there's one that says viking version and I'm horrified
	♥ 2:24pm Beany: I repeat myself. It's an age thing 8-{
	♥ 2:24pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MHLee - Viking version?? That does sound terrifying
	2:24pm worldsworstrecords: lol!
	♥ 2:25pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): GG my darling! So lovely to disco with you today!
	♥ 2:26pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mx Baba Bee - Always so happy to see you! <3
	♥ 2:26pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Mine could be called "I Once Snogged Adrian Boswell Off Bread". Lol
	♥ 2:26pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Does the body shaper make my body ANY shape I want?
	♥ 2:27pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I've got my own body plan, you see.
	2:27pm worldsworstrecords: absolutely!
	♥ 2:27pm Beany: That's better. I was still listening on the app. You are now in STEREO awfulness...
	♥ 2:27pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mx Baba Bee - And can I change it daily according to my mood? :-)
	♥ 2:27pm Rich in Washington: Butt AND Buttocks? What the hell is he talking about?
	♥ 2:27pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): My rock star memoir title is "I ran away from Robin Zander!"
	♥ 2:28pm MHLee: the scam song is the John Warosa/Barosa song... and it's a meta joke... there was a scammer who originally contacted as John Barosa but on the next email responded as John Warosa... the guy who was dealing with the scammer now runs emails accounts those names to respond to scammers and add confusion
	♥ 2:28pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Rich - Maybe you can shape an individual arse cheek at a time? Lol
	♥ 2:28pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Rich: there's so much to learn!
	♥ 2:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: You could have one perfectly shaped butt cheek, and one that's all wizened and flabby, and you'd have to walk into rooms sideways.
	2:29pm Jay Pemberton: Who knows how this was engineered....it's weird.
	♥ 2:29pm DJ GeorgyGirl: This is why I get insomnia. Lol
	♥ 2:29pm Rich in Washington: It was done underwater, Jay.
	♥ 2:29pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): I did know a wise person who informed me that there are three parts to an arse, "The left cheek, the right cheek, and the ravine down the middle!"
	2:30pm Don-O: I HAD to join in the discoing!!!!
	♥ 2:30pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Don-O: let's see your moves!!!
	2:30pm worldsworstrecords: Hey Don-O... welcome!
	♥ 2:30pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mx Baba Bee - is it really called a ravine? I really want that to be true because I will use that in casual conversation. ;-)
	♥ 2:30pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Don-O!
	2:30pm Don-O: I'm currently cracking knuckles. Good enough?
	♥ 2:31pm Beany: Were any of these LPs ever reissued on CD Darryl?
	2:31pm worldsworstrecords: Some of the individual tracks have been collated, Beany
	2:31pm Don-O: BTW, I never heard the word 'discoing' before!!
	♥ 2:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: She is tiii-iii-ii-me
	♥ 2:31pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Don-O - Sheena: Entertaining AND educational! :-)
	2:32pm worldsworstrecords: some of the later song-poem labels put out cds in the 90s
	2:32pm Jay Pemberton: That gets into some weird time signature now and then!
	♥ 2:32pm DJ GeorgyGirl: God, I love disco <3
	♥ 2:33pm Beany: If I found them I probably would not have time to play them. I'm hoping for a few quite days to catch up recent purchases and get some mailing done ;-)
	2:34pm worldsworstrecords: Now, I shall not be here next week, but I have a show ready for you all and the lovely DJ GeorgyGirl is going to look after the message board in my abcess
	♥ 2:34pm MHLee: Are there any song-poem labels still left? Ramsey Kearny's sight is still up but he is now deceased.
	♥ 2:34pm Beany: quiet
	♥ 2:34pm MHLee: *site
	2:34pm Don-O: ALL of this is so far wonderfully terrible...more so than the mainstream stuff.
	♥ 2:34pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I am indeed - you're in safe hands, Darryl! I shall keep the conversation lively for you :-)
	2:34pm worldsworstrecords: I Think Magic Key is still running
	♥ 2:35pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): GG: the person who said so was a sort of French punk rock sage to many of us in SF. In her youth, she tried to dose the spring at Lourdes with LSD!
	2:35pm Jay Pemberton: So modems will melt to the strains of Mark and the Omni and who knows what else? LOL
	♥ 2:35pm Rich in Washington: everybody's seen the Off The Charts - The Song Poem documentary, right?
	♥ 2:35pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mx Baba Bee - In that case, she is one of my new icons :-)
	♥ 2:35pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): The thing about disco, is it doesn't matter how mediocre or awful it is, it's still disco and therefore I love it.
	2:35pm worldsworstrecords: oh yes.. I have it on dvd
	♥ 2:36pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mx Baba Bee - We are Disco Bunnies to the MAX! :-)
	♥ 2:36pm Paper Kosmonaut: This sounds like someone rummaged in the bin after a Duran Duran recording session and used the discarded tape to record her own song.
	2:36pm Bri: Very No-waves vibe
	♥ 2:36pm Beany: That DJ GG will make sure we behave when teacher is not leading the class.
	2:36pm worldsworstrecords: Hi Bri!
	2:36pm Bri: I need to see the song poems documentary! I forgot about it!
	2:37pm Don-O: Rich, Yup, I seen and heard Off The Charts doc. I HAD a copy on DVD. I gotta look for it again....
	♥ 2:37pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): GG: YES! I will even wear bunny ears as I bust out my amazing disco moves!
	2:37pm Bri: It sort of does Paper Kosmonaut!
	♥ 2:37pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Beany - No! I shall encourage all manner of shenanigans ;-)
	♥ 2:37pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Bri: wait, what, there's a song-poems doc!?!??!?
	♥ 2:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: BRI!! Hello! :-)
	♥ 2:38pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Mx Baba Bee - I shall join you with my unicorn horn :-)
	2:38pm worldsworstrecords: I have a pair of Louise Belcher bunny ears
	♥ 2:38pm MHLee: @WWR you're right but the website isn't under magic key name... I do like that they don't have pricing upfront and make it appear as though your submission has to be accepted... very wholesome
	2:39pm Bri: GG!! Hey! 😊
	2:39pm worldsworstrecords: It's called 'Off the Charts', Mx. Baba Bee
	♥ 2:39pm Rich in Washington: It sounds like Bill Laswell is playing on this. Not judging. Everyone's gotta eat.
	2:39pm Jay Pemberton: A friend of mine's dad once sent in a poem to one of those song-poem places. He didn't even get a pressed record--got a somewhat wow-laden single-sided 10" lacquer cut at 45 rpm with the finished recording on it. He hated it....
	♥ 2:39pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Bri - How are you doing, my lovely?
	♥ 2:40pm Beany: Don't forget UK people. Delia Derbyshire: The Myths and the Legendary Tapes. BBC4 Sunday.
	2:40pm Bri: Apparently there is Granny! My creative writing teacher told us about it a lot several years ago. Finally got around to hearing the Song Poems Cd last year and a bit of the Christmas one on Christmas
	2:40pm worldsworstrecords: I have a bunch of song-poem acetates, Jay... love them
	♥ 2:40pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Beany - Yes!! Looking forward to that :-)
	2:41pm worldsworstrecords: Oh, I shall have to record that Beany: I shall be in Lincolnshire for the week
	2:41pm Bri: I’ve been doing better GG, I had a low point with my mental health, I was diagnosed with Schizoaffective disorder Bipolar type, so I’ve been dealing with that.
	♥ 2:41pm Rich in Washington: I'm in touch with John Trubee, the ultimate Song Poem troll. He's featured pretty prominently in the doc. He's still making music and trying to sell it, but it's more in a sardonic, Frank Zappa-esque vein.
	♥ 2:41pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Bri - Oh, I'm sorry to hear that <3 I'm glad you're on the road to feeling better tho x
	2:42pm Bri: That sounds like a great doc Beany!
	2:42pm worldsworstrecords: Blind Man's Penis
	2:42pm Don-O: Funk With Me?!
	♥ 2:42pm Beany: I'm too ahem young to remember recording booths where you could press your own discs. Nowadays it is so easy with a computer. Where are all those potential WWR recordings now?
	♥ 2:43pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Beany - It's called "YouTube". Lol
	♥ 2:43pm Rich in Washington: Oh yeah! Thanks for the reminder, Beany! I'm going to try to capture it, as sometimes those BBC things disappear or are otherwise unavailable outside of the UK.
	2:43pm Jay Pemberton: Re some of the stuff from last week, I have the entire Clemency CD uploaded as mp3s (the $7000 migraine generator) as well as all the tracks from the Al Petty/Love Creative Concepts Steel Guitorchestra demo tape.
	♥ 2:43pm MHLee: @beany Tiny Tim apparently recorded tons of those and gave them to women... I really wonder how many unheard tributes still exist.
	♥ 2:43pm DJ GeorgyGirl: My name is Karen??
	2:44pm Bri: OMG. A blind man’s penis is not erect because he’s blind!
	2:44pm worldsworstrecords: ohhh.... very nice Jay :-)
	♥ 2:44pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Bri: yes, this is the artist formerly known as Granny. I mutated! Great to see you!
	2:44pm worldsworstrecords: Kip, I think GG
	♥ 2:44pm Rich in Washington: Oh wow! This is something...
	2:44pm Bri: Thanks GG! 💗
	♥ 2:44pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Darryl - Oh!!! LOL
	♥ 2:44pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Bri - <3
	2:44pm Bri: I thought BBC 4 was about to no longer have original content?
	♥ 2:45pm MHLee: killer guitar
	2:45pm worldsworstrecords: it's still nonsense, whatever his name is
	♥ 2:45pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Darryl - I've been watching too many "Karens in the Wild" videos. ;-)
	♥ 2:45pm Rich in Washington: The documentary - with Derbyshire featured prominently - Sisters With Transistors is very good. Well made and extremely informative.
	2:45pm worldsworstrecords: There was talk of that, Bri, but I think they had a rethink after people complained
	♥ 2:46pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I have so much stuff to catch up on ...
	2:46pm Bri: Good! I quite enjoy their documentaries
	2:46pm worldsworstrecords: me too
	♥ 2:47pm Beany: GG - I have yet to watch It's A Sin.
	2:47pm Jay Pemberton: I saw a rant someone had about one of the BBC channels having nothing new to offer so they ran a repeat of a 1979 FAWLTY TOWERS episode.
	2:47pm Mr Fab: Hey gang! Been listening all morn but super busy. My gawd, Ralph Lowe's "Funk With Us" really was the perfect white-man's overbite dance track. You could just hear the Member's Only jacket he must have been wearing.
	♥ 2:48pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Beany - Same. I need a week off :-)
	2:48pm worldsworstrecords: Fawlty Towers is currently on every week on BBC1
	♥ 2:48pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Hi Mr Fab! :-)
	2:48pm worldsworstrecords: hey Mr F!
	♥ 2:48pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): hey, Bri, sending you lots of love. It helps me to remember that a diagnosis is a helpful framework for understanding the experience—not an identity. <3
	2:49pm Jay Pemberton: I know of people who'd love to see them repeat Lena Zavaroni's 1979-1982 series!
	2:49pm Bri: I think it’s great they air old shows!
	♥ 2:49pm Rich in Washington: What's that BBC radio series where they tell real stories, but with actors - they're little radio dramas? They did one based on Pauline Butcher Bird's book about being Zappa's personal assistant and another on Delia Derbyshire. They're rather corny in the style of an American soap opera, over the top and not too great acting.
	2:49pm worldsworstrecords: hah, I can't tink about 'Member's Only' jackets without thinking of Rosario from Will and Grace
	2:49pm Jay Pemberton: Great if they leave them in their original form!
	♥ 2:49pm Beany: I love Lena.
	♥ 2:49pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Jay - Oh, Lena. She was so lovely <3
	2:49pm worldsworstrecords: I don't know, Rich
	2:50pm worldsworstrecords: Daaaance!
	2:50pm Bri: Fawlty towers is still hilarious, definitely more than any new sitcom
	♥ 2:50pm MHLee: Oh this is awful
	2:50pm worldsworstrecords: thank you, MHLee :-)
	♥ 2:50pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Rich - Doesn't ring any bells .. Sounds like something I'd like tho!
	2:51pm Jay Pemberton: I'm one of the co-mods of the Lena Zavaroni Tribute Fund Facebook group dedicated to her.
	2:51pm worldsworstrecords: Two more song-poems to go, then it's all over to Georgy's place for High Waisted Modernists: www.wfmu.org...
	♥ 2:51pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): Lloyd Marshall is making my DAY!!!!
	♥ 2:51pm MHLee: It's like daniel Johnston had a computer glitch
	♥ 2:51pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Jay - Oh! <3
	2:51pm Don-O: Lyrics....but what about the beat?!
	2:51pm Bri: Thanks Granny! <3
	2:51pm worldsworstrecords: MHLee! LOL!!
	♥ 2:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: Thank you for yet another superlative show, Darryl! :-) x
	2:52pm Mr Fab: that was just crap-tacular!
	2:52pm Bri: Speaking of old re-runs, I’ve been watching a lot of old Top of the Pops lately
	2:52pm worldsworstrecords: You're welcome, my lovely
	2:52pm Don-O: I'll have to catch the rest much later. Mondo thanks for the.....disco....?
	♥ 2:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: There is, quite literally, NO disco that I hate. None. :-)
	2:52pm Jay Pemberton: Wow, that was horrid! What happened--the lyric was written on a matchbook, and only room for the word 'dance'? LOL
	♥ 2:52pm Rich in Washington: WHAT?!
	♥ 2:52pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Bri - Ah yes! With all the gaps ;-)
	2:52pm worldsworstrecords: c'mon everybody! Let's Penetrate!
	♥ 2:53pm Beany: I must find that Jay. I found an LP on Darryl's patch Bristol with a signed inner sleeve by Lena.
	2:53pm Don-O: Yup, crap, indeed. The non-boring variety!
	♥ 2:53pm MHLee: Oh yes, my favorite... dances that were two raunchy to catch on
	2:53pm worldsworstrecords: Cheers Don-O!
	♥ 2:53pm Paper Kosmonaut: Well, I DID do a lot of screwing today. Involved some penetrating too. And wood.
	2:54pm worldsworstrecords: bwahahahaha PK!
	2:54pm Jay Pemberton: Lena did an album in 1979 called LENA ZAVARONI AND HER MUSIC with a lot of disco tracks on it, and it's actually a good record!
	♥ 2:54pm MHLee: There's quite a few hunches... not just hasil adkins over the years
	2:54pm Bri: What gaps GG?
	♥ 2:54pm Beany: GG - now there is a challenge. Find one you really hate.
	♥ 2:54pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Beany - It's a steep challenge ;-)
	♥ 2:55pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Bri - various artists and DJs who later proved to be not at all decent human beings so the BBC don't show their episodes.
	♥ 2:55pm MHLee: I find lots of horror shows on sketchy internet compilations
	♥ 2:55pm Beany: I have lots of Black Lace and Jive Bunny records...
	2:55pm Bri: Contort your Body vibes
	♥ 2:55pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @Beany - You can get a cream for that!
	2:55pm worldsworstrecords: Thank you all for your company... hope you've had fun
	2:56pm worldsworstrecords: It's been a blast!
	2:56pm Jay Pemberton: It's been a rocker!
	♥ 2:56pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I have had an outrageous amount of fun :-)
	2:56pm worldsworstrecords: huzzah!
	♥ 2:56pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): We made it through another hour of the WORST! Thank you??!?!??!!?
	♥ 2:56pm Rich in Washington: Thank you for bringing your worst again, Darryl! Wonderful show!
	♥ 2:56pm Beany: FABULOSA Disco Darryl
	♥ 2:56pm Mx. Baba Bee (e/they): PS: I LOVE COMMERCIAL MEDLEYS!!!
	♥ 2:57pm Paper Kosmonaut: It was a blast, Darryl. Thanks!
	♥ 2:57pm DJ GeorgyGirl: I'm off to twiddle some knobs :-) See you all in a bit <3
	2:57pm Bri: Ahh ok GG, I’m not sure if I’ve seen those episodes
	2:57pm worldsworstrecords: Thank you all... so glad you enjoyed this trip to the song-poem disco
	2:57pm Don-O: Ah, ending it all n a downer....in quality!
	♥ 2:57pm Beany: I'm off to Sainsburys
	♥ 2:57pm Rich in Washington: I wonder if any famous or prominent musicians ever logged hours as Song Poem studio musicians?
	♥ 2:58pm MHLee: I can't hear YMCA without thinking about it being transformed by being put in a minor key
	2:58pm worldsworstrecords: Definitely, Jay...
	♥ 2:58pm DJ GeorgyGirl: @MHLee - An act of sheer genius. Love all those major to minor songs.
	2:59pm worldsworstrecords: That's it, everyone... see you all soon x
	♥ 2:59pm Rich in Washington: I'm off to grab some tacos and listen to GG's show while eating in a grassy meadow. My new Wednesday ritual.
