	3:05pm dreamyandseedy: greetings!
	3:05pm listener james from westwood: When I heard about the Huntington Beach oil spill, all I could think of was how Rollins in Get in the Van would describe the Huntington Beach skinheads as The. Worst.

	3:07pm sim: @Ken From Hyde Park. Happy Birthday!
	3:08pm Julie: heya Bryant! Oh handy I didn't know that! Cool. Sim, not a lot of hits, I really didn't want to go all Classic Rock Radio on this.
	3:08pm David (in London): Tuesday's not normally her thing, it's Mary Wing!
	3:08pm Handy Haversack: Happy half bday, Ken! My double half bday is on Thu. Sounds smashing, Mary! Kate got your Wing Bling in Hell Swag. She will not be denied again!

	3:10pm Hubig Pie: DiL, was that recorded during Ray Davies unfortunate mustache period ?
	3:11pm sim: @Julie. I trust you completely as captain on your little starship of music.
	3:11pm David (in London): Sting was ill-advised to stand with this back to Stewart...
	3:11pm Julie: hiya Hubig!
	3:11pm Bryant in TO: I can't hear "Rehumanize Yourself" without thinking of the music Stewart Copeland wrote for the closing credits of "Droids"
	3:11pm Julie: I had to cut so much. i cut Elton and Olivia! Both had albums that year.
	3:12pm David (in London): Hey Hubig. Well, we all have to go through that phase at one point...
	3:12pm Julie: I only know one Police album this one is new to me!
	3:12pm sim: Wow, Sting looks so young! I watched "Only Murders In The Building" so was going from that.
	3:12pm Handy Haversack: Julie: just a regular old bday.
	3:13pm coelacanth∅: i got my mustache period out of the way in high school
	3:13pm Julie: oooh happy early birthday Handy!
	3:14pm David (in London): And no-one rocked the moustache look better than Tracy Pew.
	3:14pm Julie: Sting still looks damn good
	3:14pm coelacanth∅: David Crosby
	3:14pm Summer and Michael and Sylvia: Hi, Julie!
	3:15pm Julie: heya S&M&S! Didn't Nick Cave have a bad stash at some point
	3:15pm Handy Haversack: Everyone: read the liner notes from the Birthday Party best of CD absolutely as soon as you can. Then rip out your eyes because you won't be needing them anymore! You will have peaked! Thanks, Julie!
	3:15pm Mary Wing: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
	3:15pm David (in London): Hi S&M&S.

	3:16pm Julie: I had about 4-5 album requests, I think I got them all in
	3:16pm Julie: hi Doop & Spodi!
	3:17pm Handy Haversack: Ha, I think I mentioned both 30,000 Feet ... and Wild Gift!
	3:17pm Julie: oh I thought I stumbled on the passions...ha..it's been a long week
	3:19pm Julie: I think if I do a 1981 show in Nov & Dec, I'll get through all the stuff I chose yesterday.
	3:20pm Handy Haversack: Barbara is in a really cool project now called Barbara + Marco (Marco is also in it). They played with Creek and Kills at that gig at the brewery near the Catskills a couple of months back: barbaramarco.bandcamp.com David, I think you'd dig it.
	🦇 3:20pm Bas NL: Please do, Julie!
	3:20pm listener james from westwood: It was a rich year! Bleak scenes on both sides of the Atlantic.
	3:21pm Julie: and that 9 plus hours was without the commercial hits
	3:22pm Julie: when is that C&K Outdoor show you mentioned before, I need to put it on my calendar as a maybe
	3:23pm Julie: new weird girl!
	3:23pm listener james from westwood: Dig the Altaï!
	3:23pm Mark R: I must confess I missed most of these folks the first time around.
	3:23pm Doop: on first listen I thought this was Nina Hagen
	3:23pm David (in London): Thanks Handy, I'll give that an ear in a quiet moment.
	3:24pm StringOFperils: Hah! This is a truly weird record, that I've never heard. Sort of Nina, Lena,....
	🦇 3:24pm Bas NL: Yeah, 's great this Altai!
	3:24pm Julie: the french Nina Hagen!
	3:24pm Julie: Mark -- me too. I dug deep!
	3:25pm Julie: hiya String!
	3:25pm coelacanth∅: hey spodiodi!
	3:25pm Stanley: This Armande Altaï is pretty far out stuff. Digging.
	3:25pm StringOFperils: Hello, Julie!
	3:25pm David (in London): Ha ha, I hoped the Furs were coming.
	3:26pm Stanley: Me too. Furs!
	3:26pm Marci: Outstanding first set👍!
	3:27pm Julie: thanks Marci!
	3:27pm Marie: I love early Furs! Hello Julie and everyone!
	3:27pm Handy Haversack: Julie (@3:22): Next Thu. in Brooklyn: mamatriedbk.com...
	3:28pm Julie: ah I DO Have it on the calendar...smart me
	3:28pm Julie: heya Marie!
	3:29pm Mary Wing: Ack, need to go do work, right in the middle of the Furs; play some crappy music for a while, okay?
	3:29pm Julie: you got it, Mary!
	3:29pm Miss G: sadness Just discovered this album did not survive The Great Purge. So, glad to hear it on WFMU!
	3:29pm coelacanth∅: i guess 1981 is very much not representative of "80s music", after all.
	3:29pm Julie: heya Miss G!
	3:30pm Handy Haversack: My mom died in 1981.
	3:31pm sim: I'm reading the 1981 entry in WP. Pope and presidential assassination attempts. STS-1 space shuttle Columbia launches it's maiden flight as does the Boeing 767. MTV launches, as well. General Hospital has the world's record for soap opera viewership when Luke and Laura get married. Mauritania abolishes slavery
	3:31pm spodiodi: hey coelacanth∅! just "finished" replacing a window regulator in my hooptie. every time i wrench on cars, i think of you. took way too long (over an extended period of time), but i'm glad it's done (as it's getting for now :)
	3:31pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Julie. I'm doing much better now!
	3:31pm Miss G: 1981 was kind of "dark night of the soul" for me, so, music helped a lot!
	3:31pm Mark R: Luke and Laura first met when he raped her. So the story sort of has a happy ending.
	3:31pm HyperDose: Add another hug to that tally, Handy. 💙
	3:32pm KWilde: Hey Julie!
	3:32pm spodiodi: i turned 10 in 1981, and Only a Lad was released 🌟
	3:32pm Miss G: Mark R I can't hear that song and not freak out. (during when he raped her)
	3:32pm Handy Haversack: Ledgered, HyperD!
	3:33pm coelacanth∅: i think of 81 more as the year John Hinckley missed
	3:33pm Mr. Nobody: Noooooooo
	3:33pm Mr. Nobody: lol
	3:33pm Switchblade Batman: I think 1981 was the year I went to kindergarten. I don't remember much.
	3:34pm coelacanth∅: i'm sorry Handy that sucks
	3:35pm coelacanth∅: ghost in the machine maybe their best album; synchronicity the worst
	3:36pm Switchblade Batman: @Handy, sorry. My grandmother died around then, and I loved her very much.
	3:37pm Julie: Hey KWilde! Hey Switchblade Batman!
	3:38pm coelacanth∅: my grandmother died then too. i didn't know her very well but i know she was an exemplary human being. someone who called herself a catholic but in actuality was a Christian.
	3:39pm Julie: ha! Synchronicity was the one I had. On cassette. everybody I knew was super excited about it coming out so I had to get it too
	3:39pm coelacanth∅: and YAY 'lizards!
	3:39pm Hopey Sockmonkey: I was 20/21 in 1981 and bought a LOT of records. Great playlist so far.
	3:40pm Julie: hiya Hopey! Thank you!
	3:40pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, pals. I was six. Good in some ways to be young and have a chance to recover. I think it took me longer when my dad died as I was on the cusp of independent adulthood. That was a bad few years. Fortunately, I didn't alienate everyone!
	3:40pm sim: 1981 Arcade Legends. Donkey Kong, Frogger, Galaga, Ms Pac-Man, Tempest, Centipede, Defender, Castle Wolfenstein.
	3:41pm Julie: we had Pong. As much as my dad loved new tech he never got us any better games.
	3:42pm coelacanth∅: Julie at the time i bought it and played it exactly once! but maybe i'd like it more now? i have all 5 and ghost in the machine is the only one i occasionally still listen to
	3:42pm Handy Haversack: We also tapped out after Pong!
	3:43pm Julie: that Andy Summers Mother song though
	3:45pm sim: 1981 Computer Milestone. The advent of the IBM PC.
	3:45pm coelacanth∅: i don't even know it! the album didn't compel me; didn't interest me when there was so much else to listen to. (same here, Hopey Sockmonkey)
	3:46pm listener james from westwood: Diggin' Siam; new to me!
	🦇 3:46pm Bas NL: Couple of years back a friend did a Pong party. Couple of old TV sets and a couple of dented Pong boxes. We had a great night!
	3:46pm Sylvia: I knew none of these songs
	3:46pm Julie: oh that sounds fun!
	3:47pm Julie: Sylvia had you heard of Armande?
	3:47pm Miss G: wow this Alaska Y Los Pegamoides is great, reminds me of re-watching "Los Espookys" recently
	3:47pm Scott67: G'day Julie & Nighties! 👍😎👣🐾🎵🎶📻🌏🐦🐦🐦🐦
	3:47pm Hopey Sockmonkey: I still have a fondness for Regatta de Blanc. Saw the Police several times back in the day.
	3:48pm Julie: Good morning, Scott!
	🦇 3:49pm Bas NL: Love Tin Drum!
	3:49pm Sylvia: yes, I have, only because she was the voice coach on one of the first seasons of a singing reality tv show some 20 years ago
	3:49pm Hopey Sockmonkey: Ah, Japan! I've just been introducing a friend to Tin Drum and Gentlemen Take Polaroids.
	3:49pm Doop: any Gary Numan in the mix?
	3:49pm Handy Haversack: Miss G, have they made a second season of that? I was just thinking about it.
	3:49pm spodiodi: g'day, Scott67!
	3:49pm Julie: Doop: Yes.
	3:49pm Doop: 😁
	3:51pm Scott67: G'day spodi!👍😎
	3:53pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Music sure is good nowadays, and I'm only 5 years old. Dear 1981, you rule. And of course, hello dear souls of this dark night.
	3:53pm Scott67: G'day Sylvia, Handy, coel, Bas, James, Hopey, sim & Doop. Now I need coffee! 👍😎🍵
	3:53pm coelacanth∅: Hopey yes absolutely! i forgot but that album is mostly excellent. walking on the moon; no time this tome; bed's too big... just has that Copeland song that shouldn't have seen the light of day! but still, maybe tied for best
	3:54pm Handy Haversack: Yo, Scotty!
	3:54pm Julie: hiya Cha Cha!
	3:54pm Miss G: 💜💜💜
	3:55pm Listener Robert: That movie a few years ago about the vlogger turned detective ended with a version of this over the credits.
	3:55pm coelacanth∅: hey Scott, Cha Cha!
	3:55pm Scott67: G'day Photocopy!👍😎
	3:55pm chris in the redwoods: some meetings couldn't be timed any worse. but now that's a thing of the past! hello, Julie and people of the dark! i hope you are all exceptionally well.
	🦇 3:55pm Bas NL: G'day Scott! ☺️
	3:55pm Julie: hiya Chris!
	3:56pm Scott67: G'day Chris!👍😎🌳🌳🌳
	3:56pm coelacanth∅: hi chris!
	3:56pm Handy Haversack: Yo, Chris!
	3:57pm Hopey Sockmonkey: coel, oh yeah On Any Other Day . . . I agree! However, Contact and Does Everyone Stare are very good.
	3:57pm David (in London): Bugger. I went to the shops and missed Japan. Never get off the boat as Handy so sagely points out.
	3:57pm David (in London): Also, hi Chris. And Scotty. And Bas.
	3:58pm coelacanth∅: on the same page, Hopey!
	🦇 3:58pm Bas NL: Hi David!
	3:58pm Scott67: G'day David! There will always be other Sylvian. 👍😎
	3:58pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Hello fellow class of 1981-ers Coela, Scott and Julie All of you. Handy, may I ask which Birthday Party you referred to earlier? Hits?
	3:59pm spodiodi: TRIO FTW
	3:59pm spodiodi: and Prince FTW too. two winners
	4:00pm Scott67: Indeed spodi!👍😎
	4:01pm chris in the redwoods: Scott, coel, Handy, David, how's it, mates?
	4:01pm Julie: man this Prince song is great
	4:01pm HyperDose: Now I know who Mickey Avalon stole his flow from
	4:02pm Julie: heya HD!

	4:02pm spodiodi: not sure i've ever even heard this Prince song before... thanks, Julie! hi, chris
	4:03pm David (in London): Hey Cha Cha. Chris, all good here thanks mister. sim - you win today's star prize for mentioning Kenny Everett.
	4:03pm Julie: yeah I don't know this album at all!
	4:03pm sim: @Juli and @spodiodi. This is a new Prince track to me and I know I've listened to Controversy.
	4:03pm sim: The vagaries of memory.
	4:04pm coelacanth∅: i think it's the first prince album i bought and one of the few i bought new
	4:04pm David (in London): I always wondered what happened to that studded shoulder thing that Prince used to wear in his early days. If anyone comes across it, save it for me will you?
	4:04pm Scott67: G'day HyperD!👍😎
	4:04pm sim: Ohhhh, I like this Kraftwerk tune.
	4:04pm listener james from westwood: Ohhh, Night Flight. Good stuff.
	4:05pm chris in the redwoods: heya, spodi!
	4:05pm Hubig Pie: '81 was the year I made a pilgrimage to Pere Lachaise cuz it was the 10th anniversary of a certain rock musician's passing
	4:06pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Hey David!
	4:10pm coelacanth∅: reagan probably would've sent the bombs, but Carter had already sealed the deal for the hostage's release. reagan's crew held it up until he was in office. public relations.
	4:11pm David (in London): For the Brits here: the Yorkshire Ripper is caught, the Gang of Four form the SDP, and Bucks Fizz get up to their skirt-ripping antics!
	4:12pm Andres: Hi, Julie and all! In ‘81 I didn’t have a radio and I watched the Smurfs. Friends had the Police album and I would catch up with many of these bands in a couple of years.
	4:12pm Stanley: Hubig - I read the bust on JM's grave was stolen, shortly after so you probably got to see it.
	4:13pm Julie: hi Andres!
	4:13pm Julie: wow the smurfs go back that far!
	4:13pm David (in London): Stanley, what's that poking out of Hubig's bag..?
	4:14pm listener james from westwood: Three years before Threads, this song was.
	4:14pm Aitch: Dystopian sounds to start the day, hey all
	4:14pm Andres: Also, U de Chile: university, futbol club, and midi cover band. So many facets.
	4:14pm Julie: IT IS NOT LIKELY TO BE YOU
	4:14pm Scott67: G'day Stanley! Did I miss you up there? 👍😎
	🦇 4:15pm Bas NL: Great album, Author! Author!
	4:15pm Julie: hiya Aitch!
	4:15pm spodiodi: before the smurfs had their own cartoon, the toys appeared on the boardwalk in OC, NJ... i remember ogling the strange little blue creatures (but never bought any)
	4:15pm Julie: I just got a new deluxe version of it too!
	4:15pm Hubig Pie: Stanley, there was an JM bust , I think was brought by some youth's from Yugoslavia. It wasn't a permanent installation. There was about 200 kids there
	4:16pm sim: 1981 Books. Beverly Cleary, Ramona Quimby, Age 8. Stephen King, Cujo. Shel Silverstein, A Light In The Attic. John Irving, The Hotel New Hampshire. Thomas Red Dragon. Frank Herbert, God Emperor of Dune. Sylvia Plath, The Collected Poems (ed. Ted Hughes).
	4:16pm Stanley: David - he's pretty tight-lipped about his visit. Scott-man. Big hello to you
	4:16pm Scott67: G'day Aitch, just another day in dystopia mate! ✌😎
	4:16pm Aitch: Seems Movement rarely played, but it's good
	4:17pm Handy Haversack: David, to clarify: Yorkshire ripper is not some sort of dessert or euphemism for underwear or anything like that, right?
	4:17pm Stanley: Hubig - that's the one.
	4:17pm spodiodi: olo Handy
	4:18pm Aitch: We've had fire and plague, expecting some pestilence, frog rain perhaps
	4:18pm Stanley: Handy - it was the title of a Bucks Fizz hit
	4:18pm Andres: Shropshire Slasher is the one to watch out for.
	4:19pm Stanley: 1981 - summer of inner city riots
	4:19pm sim: RE: Smurfs. There's a comic book museum in Belgium with a Les Schtrumpfs" exhibit. It was a comic strip that started in the '70s if I recall correctly.
	4:19pm Troymo: Love this New Order track!
	4:20pm Handy Haversack: Does that have figs, Andres?
	4:20pm HyperDose: @Handy I think you just ruined Yorkshire pudding for me 🙈
	4:20pm Julie: hiya Troymo!
	4:21pm Andres: Will have to ask Granny for the recipe, Handy.
	4:21pm listener james from westwood: Whoa, Nico!
	4:22pm sim: I'm sorry, it's "Les Schtroumpfs" and they were started in 1958. Anyway, the museum has a complete life-size Smurf village. Little mushroom houses, carts made of twigs. It's like a lot of the miniature cities tourist things, except for Smurfs.
	4:22pm David (in London): Handy, he was a (by British standards) quite prolific serial killer. Cast rather a dark pall over the late 70s / early 80s. Utter ineptitude on the part of the police, but they lucked in and caught him by accident. Anyway, sorry to harsh everyone's mellow. 1981 was a very unmellow year in the UK.
	4:23pm Troymo: Great show today Julie!
	4:23pm Handy Haversack: It's OK. Nico is here to save us.
	4:23pm Julie: thanks Troymo!
	4:24pm sim: @Julie. Yes, I am enjoying this music, too. But you always do a fine show.
	4:24pm Hubig Pie: Stanley, there was a French TV crew interviewing a grounds keeper. He was reciting the names of all the famous people buried there. I'm sure he was bemused at all the attention given a lousy rock star.
	4:24pm coelacanth∅: Handy @423 unless you're jewish
	4:24pm Scott67: Aitch, Sharknado? 🦈💨
	4:25pm Troymo: 1st time tuning in.
	4:25pm Ken From Hyde Park: Half birthday and halfway back from Asheville. Yay, me! 🎂🛣️
	4:25pm Scott67: G'day Andres!🍵😎🤙
	4:26pm Julie: welcome, Troymo! My show is usually more freeform but doing themes this month.
	4:27pm David (in London): Ah, Bauhaus. Pleasure-o-meter into the red.
	4:27pm Julie: Here's the swag for this month's fundraiser guys, give if you can you know you want the taylor ham shirt! wfmu.org...
	4:27pm Ken From Hyde Park: Also half asleep. Good thing I'm not driving.
	4:28pm Scott67: G'day Troymo! It won't be your last. 👍😎🎵🎶📻
	4:28pm spodiodi: Troymo, i love your Little People doggy! was my favorite (and guessing probably everyone else's too.) great choice for an avatar (been meaning to mention since i first noticed it earlier today)
	4:28pm Hopey Sockmonkey: The second Pretenders album is so good. I feel like it doesn't get enough love.
	🦇 4:28pm Bas NL: Seen Bauhaus on stage once. Saddest gig i ever witnessed.
	4:29pm Julie: my sister gave me this one.. I didn't know them at all. this was THE album for me.
	4:29pm sim: The new Pretenders is pretty good, too.
	4:29pm Stanley: Hubig - I love cemetaries/graveyards and usually visit some when on holiday. I sure would love to visit Pere Lachaise
	4:29pm Scott67: Happy Kenday!!😎🤙🥂🍾🎂🎁
	4:29pm Julie: why was it sad?
	4:29pm David (in London): Chrissie's ruffles are bang on trend for 1981.
	4:29pm sim: What is Taylor Ham?
	4:30pm spodiodi: aye David. no spikes on her shoulders, but plenty of padding :)
	4:30pm Julie: Pork roll (ducks) It's a jersey thing
	🦇 4:30pm Bas NL: It made me sad. They did three songs by a backing tape while posing for cameras and then left.
	4:30pm Andres: Good morning to you, Scott!
	4:31pm Miss G: re: swag, if you all know anyone who got one of those great new jobs I've been reading about in the Great (are they calling it "revamping?") the Lyre shirt from Swag for Life has gotten many compliments.
	4:31pm Scott67: G'day Hubig.P!😎🤙
	4:31pm coelacanth∅: i've never had either one
	4:31pm Aitch: Tailored ham
	4:31pm Julie: oh that's awful! what year?
	4:31pm Troymo: Thanks Scott! @Spodiodi digging your “Only a Lad” image. Love the Boingo
	4:31pm Stanley: Bas and that was a gig?
	4:32pm Handy Haversack: Stanley: Pete Lachaise definitely worth a visit. The Protestant Cemetery in Rome (where Keats is) also extremely worth it. Really lovely. And Gramsci is there!
	4:33pm David (in London): Stanley, I saw them at Friars on that final tour. and they were amazing. Were you there?
	4:33pm sim: @Julie. Thank you.
	🦇 4:33pm Bas NL: I think it was 2013-ish. They were the main act on a festival too. The room went bunkers.. obviously.
	4:34pm coelacanth∅: my older brother turned me onto the Marthas and their muffins. i never thought of it as "new wave" and never knew anyone else who'd heard of them until a few years ago. i thought it was so obscure.
	4:34pm Troymo: Saw Bauhaus during the 90’s in Seattle & it was fantastic! Too bad about your show Bas NL
	4:34pm Andres: coel @4:24 - Did not know that about Nico. I found an article “From the Velvets to the void.” Pretty unsettling summary.
	4:34pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Pere achaise is pretty much the only place I visited when on a day trip to Paris while interrailing. A beautiful summer day spent with the dead.
	4:34pm Andres: Canadian heroes here!
	4:35pm Stanley: David - unfortunately not. Was probably when I was at Poly in the Midlands.
	4:35pm coelacanth∅: Andres yeah it's sad
	4:35pm Handy Haversack: Andres, also see under the heading INNOCENT AND VAIN (1969) Or NICO’S GERMAN-ITY AND ANTI-SEMITISM at pleasekillme.com...
	4:36pm Julie: A beautiful summer day spent with the dead. what a wonderful phrase.
	4:37pm coelacanth∅: i spent 5 years-worth of beautiful summer days with the dead. it never lost it's charm
	4:38pm Scott67: I'm a little confused about Swag Pledges for Hellraiser. As a S4L do I automatically get the Ham Shirt & Retro Shirt? Or is that a separate one off Pledge needed. Which I will make, if I make a Pledge, can I ration it out to my fave Shows?.... & breathe! 😊
	4:39pm Scott67: Asking cos Handy is in the Room.😎🤙
	4:39pm Julie: yes you can divide it over shows... I think you have to make a new pledge to get the shirts.
	4:40pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @4:36 Julie: that's exactly what it was Julie, me and my then girlfriend were about the only living people there on that summer Sunday. Very odd, because often Mr Mojo Risin's grave was the 24/7 hour party central
	4:40pm Julie: I would visit Nick Drake's grave, where's he buried?
	4:41pm Stanley: Scott - as far as I know the October 'thon is extra pledging action. You can only deal out your S4L pot at main Marahon time.
	4:42pm sim: 1981 Cars. The boxy Chrysler K Cars. The also boxy Chevy Cavalier. The boxy Land-Roverish Isuzu Trooper. The stainless steel DMC DeLorean.
	4:42pm Stanley: Saw The Beat headline a CND rally back in da day
	4:42pm David (in London): In Warwickshire Julie. I've been to it,
	4:42pm Scott67: Julie, yeah that's what I wasn't sure of. If these 2 Shirts are Special "Hellraiser" edition only. Bit confused by the Swag Page, as usual. 😎🤙
	4:43pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @4:40 Julie: google says Nick Drake sleeps at Church Of St Mary Magdalene, Tanworth-In-Arden
	4:43pm Handy Haversack: Sorry, Scott, was making a drink! Yeah, what Stanley said. You'd have to raise your S4L or do a one-time US$100 pledge to get the two shirts.
	4:44pm Miss G: When I pledged before, I think it said I could dedicate that pledge to up to 2 shows? I didn't pay attention because I hope to check my accountings and make another pledge.
	4:44pm HyperDose: I don't like to get political, but...am I the only one more partial to the neon green shirt?
	4:45pm Miss G: HyperDose, I'm going to get that one in acid green because where I live being a pedestrian is rather dangerous. . .
	4:45pm Stanley: Actually Handy, I spread smaller pledges around in October, ticking 'no swag' then hit up Joe McGasko for my accumulated total SWAG!
	4:45pm Handy Haversack: Totally with you, HyperDose!
	4:45pm Ken From Hyde Park: G'day, Scott! 🍉🍄🍌🧀
	4:45pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: btw, speaking of the Yorkshire Ripper, I did like the netflix documentary series very much - unusually good for Netflix.
	4:46pm laurapanic: Hey Scott....in or out today? Lol. I am still in til next week.
	4:46pm sim: @Scott67. Hey, had same issue. I'm a S4L for a few years. But, if you were S4L but didn't pick up any swag in Spring, you can get your swag now. But you gotta email Joe to do it.
	4:47pm Scott67: Handy, so can I divide the $100 ($138 AU) amongst different Shows?
	4:48pm Scott67: Handy, lovin the Lime Shirt mate!😎🤙👕
	4:48pm Scott67: HyperD***
	4:49pm Hopey Sockmonkey: I used to buy imported copies of Flexi-Pop on the regular. Still have most of those flexi-discs.
	4:50pm Handy Haversack: Scotty, yup. Up to 10 shows. And you'll get icons when on those shows' boards. Ghost is standard on main channel, drums on Drummer stream. Not sure about the others yet. Some shows have special ones (Michele, Matt, Ken, Marty, Wake, Vocal Fry, Double Dip Recess, Michael Shelley, e.g.).
	4:50pm Scott67: Sorry HyperD, you got auto named as Handy. Tuttle- Buttle!
	4:50pm Bryant in TO: @Stanley, you can really do that? Add up your pledges at the end of the marathon then put in a swag request?
	4:51pm Julie: did I pick an instrumental Lene song???
	4:51pm David (in London): Lene looking ace in that photo. Last time I was in Chichester she was playing, but I couldn't stay for the show sadly.
	4:51pm Milkies: 🖤
	4:51pm Stanley: Bryant - I don't know if that's official but that's what I do.
	4:52pm Handy Haversack: Bryant in TO: totally. Just pick "Bill me later" when you pledge, don't select any swag, and then at the end, when Joe sends you your bill, tell him what you want based on what you've pledged.
	4:52pm Julie: oh well, I picked something randomly know it would all be good and I got no vocals
	4:52pm Altered Beets: this one, wow. a lil bit slinky, a lil bit spooky, got that future swing
	4:52pm Scott67: Thanks Handy, knew you'd have the answers. Have another drink on me mate! 😎🤙💨🥃
	4:53pm Miss G: Oh Handy, thank you for being so informative as always!
	4:53pm Milkies: There some vocals for ya
	4:53pm Stanley: Bryant/Handy - I do it whilst charging my card as I go. Just keep a record.
	4:53pm Bryant in TO: Amazing! Thanks, Stanley, Handy!
	4:53pm Julie: heya Milkies!
	4:53pm Julie: hi altered beats!
	4:54pm Handy Haversack: Don't mind if I do ... Word, Stanley. I do "bill me later" so as to save myself all the card-number typing! And then often get to chat with Joe on the phone to give him the card info, which is fun. I am a pretty strict black-T-shirts-only dude, but that lime green one is going to go into the rotation.
	4:55pm Handy Haversack: DOTS!
	4:55pm Scott67: Ken, you got some Emojis for your Birthday mate? 😎🤙🎉🥂🍾🍣🍤
	🦇 4:56pm Bas NL: LPD! :)
	4:56pm David (in London): DOTS x 2!
	4:57pm Milkies: Legendary!!!
	4:57pm Miss G: Check out Virgil Pink channel on YouTube for some visual fun.
	4:58pm Handy Haversack: Is this new? (KIDDING!)
	🦇 4:59pm Bas NL: Sounds like the very British EDP Wasp synthesizer.
	4:59pm Andres: Hitting a sweet spot in this set!
	5:00pm HyperDose: You heard it here folks, 2021 is the new 1981!
	5:00pm Ken From Hyde Park: Haha, thanks Scott. Just a half birthday, so some of them will go in the freezer. 🥶
	5:05pm Aitch: Looking at an aussie list from 1981, memories eek. Turn Me Loose
	5:06pm sim: Love this Tom Tom Club track!
	5:06pm Julie: "there are dozens of us dozens!"
	5:08pm Androu B.: Greetings, Night Dwellers! A shame I mIssed the start of this, nevertheless, psyched to be here! Memories and unheard gems aplenty to enjoy!
	5:08pm Julie: hiya Androu!
	5:09pm Scott67: Handy, sorry mate. I'm in there & at the Payment screen, haven't found the bill me later? It's in the Show Widget you're gonna tell me?
	5:11pm Handy Haversack: Huh, Scott, I don't see it now either! Maybe they got rid of it? But as Stanley says, you can still make multiple pledges and not pick any swag add them all up at the end and deal with swag then.
	5:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Tina Weymouth looks a Fox !
	5:12pm spodiodi: Stan BD
	5:12pm Julie: most stuff these days seems to happen through email
	5:13pm Julie: I love Stan's voice
	5:13pm Stanley: Yep - the bill me later option not available for Hellraiser. Maybe because it's just an online gig.
	5:13pm spodiodi: me too, Julie. i like to mimic while i sing along
	5:13pm Scott67: Cool Handy, I'm not going blind then. 👍😎
	5:13pm Miss G: Julie Stan's version of "Ring of Fire" is one of my favorite songs. I also love him doing "Cannon Song"
	5:14pm Julie: ohhh yes so good Miss G
	5:14pm Stanley: Crikey mate - Men At Work
	5:15pm Scott67: Aussie Legends!!👍😎
	5:15pm spodiodi: was waiting for the cheers :D
	5:15pm Androu B.: Seems like all the DJ's in WFMUland have been playing Devo non-stop since Todd-O-Phonic Todd's interview with Gerald B. Casale a few weeks back
	5:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Miss G yeah Ring of Fire.
	5:15pm David (in London): This song is now so old it mentions 'a docket'.
	5:16pm Rich in Bay Ridge: "Machinery in my pocket...I even got a docket from you"
	5:16pm Doop: glad Mark Mothersbaugh made it thru his covid ordeal
	5:17pm Rich in Bay Ridge: I had to look up "docket" in the Funk & Wagonall's when I got this record
	5:17pm Julie: I just love this song, should've been a single but then there's already 2 from this record
	🦇 5:17pm Bas NL: Great band, Man At Work!
	5:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: '81 - year MTV came out.
	5:18pm Julie: heya Rev! Hey Rich!
	5:19pm David (in London): Hey Rev D.
	5:19pm Stanley: Is that Men at Work fella really wearing a pullover adorned with a tampons design?
	5:20pm Scott67: G'day RevoR.👍😎
	5:20pm Miss G: RRN63, your saying that reminds me to say, that some listening to this show might enjoy to check out "TV Party was a public-access television cable TV show in New York City that ran from 1978 to 1982" (wow thanks for all your hard work with the New Moon etc)
	5:20pm Doop: wow, good eye Stanley LOL
	5:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Stanley an homage to Lennon's Lost Weekend.
	5:21pm spodiodi: hah, Stanley! indeed
	5:22pm Scott67: Very likely Stanley!
	🦇 5:22pm Bas NL: Good one Stanley!
	5:23pm Handy Haversack: Wait, you don't have one, Stanley?
	5:24pm David (in London): My new musical Cats opens in the West End soon. About an amateur group of Cat Stevens impersonators. Hilary ensues.
	5:24pm spodiodi: \m/
	5:24pm Bryant in TO: People still talk about CATS. But what about The Amazing Alexander? I loved it. it was much better than CATS. I’m going to see it again and again.
	5:25pm David (in London): I'll get my coat.
	5:25pm Stanley: Say hi to Hilary for me, David.
	5:25pm spodiodi: and what about Twister? (the one with Crispin)
	5:26pm David (in London): Ahem, thank you Stanley. hilarity ensues I'll put my coat back, so that I can get it again,
	5:26pm Stanley: Flowers of Romance. Yay from me.
	5:26pm Julie: hi Bryant!
	5:27pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Metal Box wasn't exactly Easy Listening. But rather easy compared to The Flowers of Romance - it is a bit of a demanding listen.
	5:27pm Bryant in TO: Hey, Julie!
	5:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hillary always ensues. She's highly litigious. Even in 1981.
	5:27pm spodiodi: is this Flowers of ROmance? the version i know is very different
	5:27pm Julie: "Oct 11 Unknown rocker Prince opens for Rolling Stones at LA Coliseum"
	5:28pm Julie: this was the first PIL I ever heard. I was like WHAAAA
	5:28pm spodiodi: this is the version i know: www.youtube.com...
	5:29pm Handy Haversack: Julie, literally everyone in Minneapolis just simultaneously said "Unknown?!" Even the ones who weren't alive in 1981 and the ones who don't speak English and quite a few of the dead ones. Saying this so K8 doesn't have to.
	5:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I had this PiL vinyl - but didn't honestly play it often enuff to get 'fluent'. More like an artifact - some dark magic talisman it was enuff - maybe too much - to have around...
	5:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ooo Kite an interesting cover. Have the original on 'Psych @ Abbey Road'.
	5:30pm David (in London): Always a favourite tune of mine, too, Rev.
	5:30pm C.S.: Late to 1981 but enjoying reading all the previous comments. Too young to not see 1981 through the eyes of a child but those times do stand out as happy ones.
	5:31pm Julie: hiya CS!
	5:31pm Miss G: I was going to say "what is this Lemon Kittens" but I looked it up and it's Danielle Dax, wow, someone once gave me one of her albums
	5:31pm Julie: I adore Danielle, it was her birthday last week.
	5:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thot it was Dax !
	5:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: I like how Members Only jackets were the style in 1981.
	5:33pm Handy Haversack: Nothing comes between the world and my tampon jumper, Ken.
	5:33pm C.S.: Owned one of those jackets and drove a Dodge Aries K-car. I was so cool.
	5:34pm Miss G: sad face just checked, she was not there in between the Contortions and the Del-Byzanteens. Don't check your vinyl during the show, kids!
	5:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Could be a New Wave idol's name: Tampon Jumper...
	5:35pm Miss G: teary eyes Klaus Nomi was very kind to me on the street once when his friend was being bitchy. . .
	5:35pm C.S.: Amazing how the 80s shed any shadows from the 70s pretty quickly. I remember how technological advances for the average person was becoming a thing.
	5:35pm listener james from westwood: Klaus!!
	5:35pm David (in London): Ah, Klaus. Always welcome. Wasn't Tampon Jumper one of Cosey's art pieces?
	5:35pm Julie: Oh how nice Miss G!
	5:35pm Handy Haversack: Franco saw them at the Whiskey, Rev Rab! Klaus!!!!
	5:36pm spodiodi: olo Handy
	5:36pm Julie: I think 1981 deserves a music doc like the 1971 one!
	5:36pm Julie: was his bitchy friend Joey Arias?
	5:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Punk had been a pretty major rupture. & in another way - its still very image obsessed like elements of the 70s. Maybe.
	5:37pm Miss G: Julie I was wearing a flight suit like the ones he used to wear. It was on Broadway and St. Marks, it was so hot, and I had had to walk really far from my apartment on 1st and 1st to get a bag of groceries. L no I don't think Joey Arias would have been this mean!
	5:38pm Stanley: £10 on Tampon Jumper in the 3.30 at Kempton, please.
	5:38pm Handy Haversack: I put ten quid on Tampon Jumper in the fourth at Doncaster, David.
	5:38pm Miss G: Everyone must go watch David Bowie with Klaus Nomi and Joey Arias doing "The Man Who Sold the World" on SNL at their earliest convenience!
	5:38pm Handy Haversack: Ha, Stanley!!
	5:38pm spodiodi: olo Stanley
	5:39pm Julie: meanwhile in Canadian metal...
	5:39pm Stanley: Handy!
	5:39pm spodiodi: burned in my mind for all eternity, Miss G
	5:39pm HyperDose: What Miss G said!
	5:40pm David (in London): Not so loud lads, I don't want Julie to know that I'm running a book during her show.
	5:40pm Julie: hahaha
	5:41pm C.S.: Wow. Toronto wrote and performed "What About Love" first.
	5:41pm Andres: 80’s and later version of me misjudged Toronto apparently.
	5:41pm Bryant in TO: And don't miss the" Boys Keep Swinging" performance in that same SNL episode
	5:42pm Julie: $20 on Klaus Nomi's Bitchy Friend Please, David
	5:42pm Julie: I remember seeing that Boys Keep Swinging at the time, it creeped me out
	5:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well - I shoulda been Class of 1981...
	5:43pm Miss G: L they were standing behind me, so I couldn't see who it was (but maybe I can guess.) They couldn't see the tears drip down my sweaty face, but I held my head high!) (awww! L)
	5:44pm Scott67: $50, all on Stayfree; it has wings! 💸
	5:44pm Handy Haversack: Excellent! Great Selecter selection, selector! Oh, wow. For an American racetrack it would have to be KlausNomisBchyFrnd, but I would totally figure out a reason to make myself bet that horse. Were I still the kind of person who bet on horses. Which I'm not. BUT I REALLY MISS IT.
	5:44pm Stanley: Pauline Black. yay to her
	5:44pm Bryant in TO: Yeah, when I first watched it I thought it was a fever dream. And then it was pointed out that, at the end of the song, a giant member pokes out from the top of Bowie's puppet pants. Got past the censors. Even more surreal.
	5:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Nomi's Bitchfriend makes sense for a dog... Good for you Miss G.
	5:45pm David (in London): Soft going might favour Klaus Nomi's Bitchy Friend on past form Julie. Safe bet there.
	5:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Selecter not heard enuff if yer arsks me.
	5:46pm David (in London): Stanley, a wave of the old tie for our former school compadre Mr Dury!
	5:46pm Julie: I agree, I need to play more of them.
	5:46pm Androu B.: @Miss G & Bryant in TO I watched SNL as a tween in the 70's week after week and fondly remember Bowie's performance with Nomi and Arias aside him. It felt like a landmark moment for me. Even then I was such a huge Bowie fan.
	5:46pm Handy Haversack: Joe B. played Selecter in his selfies show on Monday, but I agree entirely, Rev Rab. Super band.
	5:47pm Milkies: GET DOWN, and get up again
	5:47pm Stanley: waves old school tie
	5:47pm listener james from westwood: Lovely to hear Ian here.
	5:47pm Julie: what flavors do the funky disco pops come in?
	5:47pm Miss G: Androu B I watched Patti Smith on SNL (first season) (was it jr high?) and my brother razzed her and I was like WHAT?!! (but I knew her poems from Creem.)
	5:48pm David (in London): Cheese & onion or prawn cocktail, Julie.
	5:49pm Julie: oh, I'll pass then (also put a fiver on Prawn Cocktail)
	5:49pm Andres: YES!!
	5:49pm Julie: I'm sure Sylvia is sleeping through her boys here
	5:49pm Scott67: Young Mode!
	5:50pm Andres: Later on Catching Up With... album.
	5:50pm Julie: is that a casio?
	5:50pm Bryant in TO: @Androu Even today, the Bowie/Nomi/Arias performances in that episode feel like an outlier for what gets on network TV, even late night. Wild, great stuff
	5:50pm Milkies: I thought that there were more handclaps in this song
	5:51pm Androu B.: Well, finally we get to what I was waiting for, the "Speak & Spell" album.
	5:51pm Julie: I miss the days of SNL weird music, where people watched Kate Bush and went, is she for real?
	5:51pm Miss G: Julie I indeed went out and bought that Kate Bush album!
	5:52pm David (in London): Mode sitting on the bonnet of a (I think) Morris Marina there. Fine British automotive technology from 1981.
	5:52pm spodiodi: i was trying to figure out what it was, David. thanks!
	5:53pm Handy Haversack: I am Cured! Gotta feed the monsters. Julie, the First Aid Kit Cohen tribute just arrived in the mail!
	5:53pm Doop: the TV show "Fridays" was a good source of new music
	5:53pm David (in London): It was a truly shit car Spod. My dad was especially contemptuous of them.
	5:53pm Stanley: Fuck me, David, I think you're right. My Dad had one back then. A lovely Cream of Campbells mushroom soup colour.
	5:54pm Julie: yes! great show! I remember Devo & Quarterflash
	5:54pm Julie: mmm mushroom soup
	5:54pm Stanley: Heap of shit (the car, not the show!)
	5:55pm David (in London): Stanley, did he sell it to Depeche Mode by any chance?
	5:55pm spodiodi: i had a car that was Baby Shit Yellow, Stanley. Campbell's Cream of Mushroom was one of my top soups backintheday, but never a fave color (yee)
	5:57pm Androu B.: Thanks for bringing back 1981 for all of us, Julie!
	5:57pm Andres: Bette Davis Eyes still a number one in my ears.
	5:59pm spodiodi: my rich cousins had a couple speak n spells. i had to sleep over at their house to use 'em. they got to play with my atari 2600
	5:59pm johnk77: great show selecter on sundays noon eastern ranking full stop w/mike sin on rock'n'soul stream plays early 80s ska including bands like selecter, madness, etc though most of the show features older jamaican music very well done ;>
	6:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: piSToLs album maximum rotation in my bedroom. Never really go to it anymore. Tho' I don't mind hearing it obviously.
	6:01pm Julie: I guess at the time it was groundbreaking but it is basically rock n roll
	6:01pm Miss G: whoops I just posted to the wrong show I'm a little distracted <GET OUT another hour? I used up all my comments! Willl be here tho!>
	6:01pm Julie: thanks JohnK!
	6:03pm Androu B.: I remember owning the "Dance" album on cassette (unless I'm thinking of another Gary Numan album).
	6:04pm Julie: boy I used to stare at the cover of Dance
	6:04pm Stanley: Very enjoyable show, this evening. Thanks Julie but Morpheus awaits. Good night all.
	6:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: piSToLs album so much of one moment now it seems. (Berlin Wall ?) Its release was delayed like the Velvet's debut a decade earlier - & many Punk essentials... Also - I loves the RawkaRollaz like that rapper loves bigbutts & I cannot lie.
	6:05pm Handy Haversack: Good sleep, Stanley. See you at the races!
	6:05pm David (in London): Night Stanley.
	6:05pm Aitch: We had the Marina down here too. Piles of crap, a few friends had them as first cars because they were so very cheap.
	6:05pm Julie: nite Stanley!
	🦇 6:05pm Bas NL: Good night Stanley.
	6:05pm Julie: this song makes me think of Glockabelle
	6:05pm spodiodi: Sir Mix-a-Lot <-- respect
	6:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: flipside Stanley !
	6:06pm spodiodi: night, Stanley
	6:06pm Milkies: Oui Oui Oui
	6:06pm chris in the redwoods: see ya Stanley!
	6:07pm Gary: Howdy!
	6:07pm Julie: hi Gary!
	6:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...also - in light of Lydon's - erm - periodically perplexing opinions subsequently ...do reflect that after the piSToLs - I never questioned PiL's legitimacy for a moment. It was strong stuff out the gate.
	6:10pm David (in London): Right, with an early start tomorrow I have to bale now too. Thanks Julie, REALLY enjoyed today's show. I'll give you your winnings next week (Klaus Nomi's Bitchy Friend romped home in first place). Toodles groovers.
	6:10pm spodiodi: i think Sir Mix-a-Lot started the whole insult a White (stereotypical) person by using a traditionally popular name: "Oh, my, God Becky, look at her butt" see; Karen, Felicia, etc. and i love him
	6:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Late David iL !
	6:10pm Handy Haversack: Night, David!
	6:11pm coelacanth∅: the sexpistols album never dazzled me. it sounded, and sounds like pretty standard rock&roll, adequately played and produced. the sneering vocals of a douchebag nobody and antagonistic lyrics are it's only redeeming value. most other punk bands rocked harder, or better. it's not interesting to me.
	6:11pm Scott67: Had this Album!👍😎
	6:11pm spodiodi: goodnight, DiL!
	6:11pm chris in the redwoods: see ya, David.
	🦇 6:11pm Bas NL: Sleep tight, David!
	6:11pm Scott67: G'night David!✌😎
	6:11pm coelacanth∅: 'night Stanley and David
	6:12pm Julie: nite David!
	6:12pm Androu B.: TTFN, David!
	6:12pm Scott67: G'night Stanley!✌😎
	6:12pm Handy Haversack: Even the singer from Bow Wow Wow Can't make up her mind ...
	6:13pm ryansterlingvirtue: Hi Julie! Great song! Sorry I’ve been absent. I hope you are well.
	6:13pm Julie: oh man they had an '81 album too...so many greats
	6:13pm Julie: hey ryan, good to see ya!
	6:13pm Miss G: re: Adam and the Ants I do admit that I mixed it up with my punk outfits and wore a full New Romantic look to Hurrah. . .
	6:14pm miles of middle texas: Hey Julie ! Hey y'all ! I finished high school in 81'. So..... love it.
	6:15pm Gary: How hard can (should?) a listener (me) beg to hear something from Odyshape?
	6:15pm Julie: hiya Miles!
	6:15pm Andres: Echo! Yes!
	6:16pm Julie: AUGH another one I left out
	6:16pm Miss G: (sorry, Hurrah had closed. ..Danceteria?) Love this Echo & The Bunnymen
	6:16pm chris in the redwoods: didn't realize how much i missed these bands!
	6:16pm Julie: sorry Gary
	6:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well coela - @ the same time I was deep into the NY Dolls' 1st album. When things were released mattered little to me alone in smalltown NewHampshuh... & the piSToLs album was like nothing so much as the Dolls. I concede most of that ...yet they were good @ it. Hard to remember what their impact was like in 1977ish. As for TheRamones - the resistance to them was a bit of a shock to even them themselves I reckon. Feel like in this playlist @ least the Bunnymen are turning a corner into something else...
	6:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Children of Nuggets
	6:17pm Androu B.: Speaking of E&TB, I recently discovered that there was a British actor who also goes by the name Ian McCulloch (no relation, I'm sure).
	6:17pm Scott67: Yessss! Aussie gold!👍😎
	6:17pm Gary: Haha, no worries -- better to hear things I don't already have
	6:17pm Handy Haversack: Fantastic!
	6:18pm

	3:05pm dreamyandseedy: greetings!
	3:05pm listener james from westwood: When I heard about the Huntington Beach oil spill, all I could think of was how Rollins in Get in the Van would describe the Huntington Beach skinheads as The. Worst.

	3:11pm sim: @Julie. I trust you completely as captain on your little starship of music.
	3:11pm David (in London): Sting was ill-advised to stand with this back to Stewart...
	3:11pm Julie: hiya Hubig!
	3:11pm Bryant in TO: I can't hear "Rehumanize Yourself" without thinking of the music Stewart Copeland wrote for the closing credits of "Droids"

	🦇 3:20pm Bas NL: Please do, Julie!
	3:20pm listener james from westwood: It was a rich year! Bleak scenes on both sides of the Atlantic.

	3:23pm David (in London): Thanks Handy, I'll give that an ear in a quiet moment.
	3:24pm StringOFperils: Hah! This is a truly weird record, that I've never heard. Sort of Nina, Lena,....

	3:25pm coelacanth∅: hey spodiodi!

	3:28pm Julie: heya Marie!
	3:29pm Mary Wing: Ack, need to go do work, right in the middle of the Furs; play some crappy music for a while, okay?
	3:29pm Julie: you got it, Mary!
	3:29pm Miss G: sadness Just discovered this album did not survive The Great Purge. So, glad to hear it on WFMU!
	3:29pm coelacanth∅: i guess 1981 is very much not representative of "80s music", after all.
	3:29pm Julie: heya Miss G!
	3:30pm Handy Haversack: My mom died in 1981.
	3:31pm sim: I'm reading the 1981 entry in WP. Pope and presidential assassination attempts. STS-1 space shuttle Columbia launches it's maiden flight as does the Boeing 767. MTV launches, as well. General Hospital has the world's record for soap opera viewership when Luke and Laura get married. Mauritania abolishes slavery
	3:31pm spodiodi: hey coelacanth∅! just "finished" replacing a window regulator in my hooptie. every time i wrench on cars, i think of you. took way too long (over an extended period of time), but i'm glad it's done (as it's getting for now :)
	3:31pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, Julie. I'm doing much better now!
	3:31pm Miss G: 1981 was kind of "dark night of the soul" for me, so, music helped a lot!
	3:31pm Mark R: Luke and Laura first met when he raped her. So the story sort of has a happy ending.
	3:31pm HyperDose: Add another hug to that tally, Handy. 💙
	3:32pm KWilde: Hey Julie!
	3:32pm spodiodi: i turned 10 in 1981, and Only a Lad was released 🌟
	3:32pm Miss G: Mark R I can't hear that song and not freak out. (during when he raped her)
	3:32pm Handy Haversack: Ledgered, HyperD!
	3:33pm coelacanth∅: i think of 81 more as the year John Hinckley missed
	3:33pm Mr. Nobody: Noooooooo
	3:33pm Mr. Nobody: lol
	3:33pm Switchblade Batman: I think 1981 was the year I went to kindergarten. I don't remember much.
	3:34pm coelacanth∅: i'm sorry Handy that sucks
	3:35pm coelacanth∅: ghost in the machine maybe their best album; synchronicity the worst
	3:36pm Switchblade Batman: @Handy, sorry. My grandmother died around then, and I loved her very much.
	3:37pm Julie: Hey KWilde! Hey Switchblade Batman!
	3:38pm coelacanth∅: my grandmother died then too. i didn't know her very well but i know she was an exemplary human being. someone who called herself a catholic but in actuality was a Christian.
	3:39pm Julie: ha! Synchronicity was the one I had. On cassette. everybody I knew was super excited about it coming out so I had to get it too
	3:39pm coelacanth∅: and YAY 'lizards!
	3:39pm Hopey Sockmonkey: I was 20/21 in 1981 and bought a LOT of records. Great playlist so far.
	3:40pm Julie: hiya Hopey! Thank you!
	3:40pm Handy Haversack: Thanks, pals. I was six. Good in some ways to be young and have a chance to recover. I think it took me longer when my dad died as I was on the cusp of independent adulthood. That was a bad few years. Fortunately, I didn't alienate everyone!
	3:40pm sim: 1981 Arcade Legends. Donkey Kong, Frogger, Galaga, Ms Pac-Man, Tempest, Centipede, Defender, Castle Wolfenstein.
	3:41pm Julie: we had Pong. As much as my dad loved new tech he never got us any better games.
	3:42pm coelacanth∅: Julie at the time i bought it and played it exactly once! but maybe i'd like it more now? i have all 5 and ghost in the machine is the only one i occasionally still listen to
	3:42pm Handy Haversack: We also tapped out after Pong!
	3:43pm Julie: that Andy Summers Mother song though
	3:45pm sim: 1981 Computer Milestone. The advent of the IBM PC.
	3:45pm coelacanth∅: i don't even know it! the album didn't compel me; didn't interest me when there was so much else to listen to. (same here, Hopey Sockmonkey)
	3:46pm listener james from westwood: Diggin' Siam; new to me!
	🦇 3:46pm Bas NL: Couple of years back a friend did a Pong party. Couple of old TV sets and a couple of dented Pong boxes. We had a great night!
	3:46pm Sylvia: I knew none of these songs
	3:46pm Julie: oh that sounds fun!
	3:47pm Julie: Sylvia had you heard of Armande?
	3:47pm Miss G: wow this Alaska Y Los Pegamoides is great, reminds me of re-watching "Los Espookys" recently

	3:53pm coelacanth∅: Hopey yes absolutely! i forgot but that album is mostly excellent. walking on the moon; no time this tome; bed's too big... just has that Copeland song that shouldn't have seen the light of day! but still, maybe tied for best
	3:54pm Handy Haversack: Yo, Scotty!
	3:54pm Julie: hiya Cha Cha!
	3:54pm Miss G: 💜💜💜

	4:03pm sim: @Juli and @spodiodi. This is a new Prince track to me and I know I've listened to Controversy.
	4:03pm sim: The vagaries of memory.
	4:04pm coelacanth∅: i think it's the first prince album i bought and one of the few i bought new
	4:04pm David (in London): I always wondered what happened to that studded shoulder thing that Prince used to wear in his early days. If anyone comes across it, save it for me will you?
	4:04pm Scott67: G'day HyperD!👍😎
	4:04pm sim: Ohhhh, I like this Kraftwerk tune.
	4:04pm listener james from westwood: Ohhh, Night Flight. Good stuff.
	4:05pm chris in the redwoods: heya, spodi!
	4:05pm Hubig Pie: '81 was the year I made a pilgrimage to Pere Lachaise cuz it was the 10th anniversary of a certain rock musician's passing
	4:06pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Hey David!
	4:10pm coelacanth∅: reagan probably would've sent the bombs, but Carter had already sealed the deal for the hostage's release. reagan's crew held it up until he was in office. public relations.
	4:11pm David (in London): For the Brits here: the Yorkshire Ripper is caught, the Gang of Four form the SDP, and Bucks Fizz get up to their skirt-ripping antics!
	4:12pm Andres: Hi, Julie and all! In ‘81 I didn’t have a radio and I watched the Smurfs. Friends had the Police album and I would catch up with many of these bands in a couple of years.
	4:12pm Stanley: Hubig - I read the bust on JM's grave was stolen, shortly after so you probably got to see it.
	4:13pm Julie: hi Andres!
	4:13pm Julie: wow the smurfs go back that far!
	4:13pm David (in London): Stanley, what's that poking out of Hubig's bag..?
	4:14pm listener james from westwood: Three years before Threads, this song was.
	4:14pm Aitch: Dystopian sounds to start the day, hey all
	4:14pm Andres: Also, U de Chile: university, futbol club, and midi cover band. So many facets.
	4:14pm Julie: IT IS NOT LIKELY TO BE YOU
	4:14pm Scott67: G'day Stanley! Did I miss you up there? 👍😎
	🦇 4:15pm Bas NL: Great album, Author! Author!
	4:15pm Julie: hiya Aitch!
	4:15pm spodiodi: before the smurfs had their own cartoon, the toys appeared on the boardwalk in OC, NJ... i remember ogling the strange little blue creatures (but never bought any)
	4:15pm Julie: I just got a new deluxe version of it too!
	4:15pm Hubig Pie: Stanley, there was an JM bust , I think was brought by some youth's from Yugoslavia. It wasn't a permanent installation. There was about 200 kids there
	4:16pm sim: 1981 Books. Beverly Cleary, Ramona Quimby, Age 8. Stephen King, Cujo. Shel Silverstein, A Light In The Attic. John Irving, The Hotel New Hampshire. Thomas Red Dragon. Frank Herbert, God Emperor of Dune. Sylvia Plath, The Collected Poems (ed. Ted Hughes).
	4:16pm Stanley: David - he's pretty tight-lipped about his visit. Scott-man. Big hello to you
	4:16pm Scott67: G'day Aitch, just another day in dystopia mate! ✌😎
	4:16pm Aitch: Seems Movement rarely played, but it's good
	4:17pm Handy Haversack: David, to clarify: Yorkshire ripper is not some sort of dessert or euphemism for underwear or anything like that, right?
	4:17pm Stanley: Hubig - that's the one.
	4:17pm spodiodi: olo Handy
	4:18pm Aitch: We've had fire and plague, expecting some pestilence, frog rain perhaps
	4:18pm Stanley: Handy - it was the title of a Bucks Fizz hit
	4:18pm Andres: Shropshire Slasher is the one to watch out for.
	4:19pm Stanley: 1981 - summer of inner city riots
	4:19pm sim: RE: Smurfs. There's a comic book museum in Belgium with a Les Schtrumpfs" exhibit. It was a comic strip that started in the '70s if I recall correctly.
	4:19pm Troymo: Love this New Order track!
	4:20pm Handy Haversack: Does that have figs, Andres?
	4:20pm HyperDose: @Handy I think you just ruined Yorkshire pudding for me 🙈
	4:20pm Julie: hiya Troymo!
	4:21pm Andres: Will have to ask Granny for the recipe, Handy.
	4:21pm listener james from westwood: Whoa, Nico!
	4:22pm sim: I'm sorry, it's "Les Schtroumpfs" and they were started in 1958. Anyway, the museum has a complete life-size Smurf village. Little mushroom houses, carts made of twigs. It's like a lot of the miniature cities tourist things, except for Smurfs.
	4:22pm David (in London): Handy, he was a (by British standards) quite prolific serial killer. Cast rather a dark pall over the late 70s / early 80s. Utter ineptitude on the part of the police, but they lucked in and caught him by accident. Anyway, sorry to harsh everyone's mellow. 1981 was a very unmellow year in the UK.
	4:23pm Troymo: Great show today Julie!
	4:23pm Handy Haversack: It's OK. Nico is here to save us.
	4:23pm Julie: thanks Troymo!
	4:24pm sim: @Julie. Yes, I am enjoying this music, too. But you always do a fine show.
	4:24pm Hubig Pie: Stanley, there was a French TV crew interviewing a grounds keeper. He was reciting the names of all the famous people buried there. I'm sure he was bemused at all the attention given a lousy rock star.
	4:24pm coelacanth∅: Handy @423 unless you're jewish
	4:24pm Scott67: Aitch, Sharknado? 🦈💨
	4:25pm Troymo: 1st time tuning in.
	4:25pm Ken From Hyde Park: Half birthday and halfway back from Asheville. Yay, me! 🎂🛣️
	4:25pm Scott67: G'day Andres!🍵😎🤙
	4:26pm Julie: welcome, Troymo! My show is usually more freeform but doing themes this month.
	4:27pm David (in London): Ah, Bauhaus. Pleasure-o-meter into the red.
	4:27pm Julie: Here's the swag for this month's fundraiser guys, give if you can you know you want the taylor ham shirt! wfmu.org...
	4:27pm Ken From Hyde Park: Also half asleep. Good thing I'm not driving.
	4:28pm Scott67: G'day Troymo! It won't be your last. 👍😎🎵🎶📻
	4:28pm spodiodi: Troymo, i love your Little People doggy! was my favorite (and guessing probably everyone else's too.) great choice for an avatar (been meaning to mention since i first noticed it earlier today)
	4:28pm Hopey Sockmonkey: The second Pretenders album is so good. I feel like it doesn't get enough love.
	🦇 4:28pm Bas NL: Seen Bauhaus on stage once. Saddest gig i ever witnessed.
	4:29pm Julie: my sister gave me this one.. I didn't know them at all. this was THE album for me.
	4:29pm sim: The new Pretenders is pretty good, too.
	4:29pm Stanley: Hubig - I love cemetaries/graveyards and usually visit some when on holiday. I sure would love to visit Pere Lachaise
	4:29pm Scott67: Happy Kenday!!😎🤙🥂🍾🎂🎁
	4:29pm Julie: why was it sad?
	4:29pm David (in London): Chrissie's ruffles are bang on trend for 1981.
	4:29pm sim: What is Taylor Ham?
	4:30pm spodiodi: aye David. no spikes on her shoulders, but plenty of padding :)
	4:30pm Julie: Pork roll (ducks) It's a jersey thing
	🦇 4:30pm Bas NL: It made me sad. They did three songs by a backing tape while posing for cameras and then left.
	4:30pm Andres: Good morning to you, Scott!
	4:31pm Miss G: re: swag, if you all know anyone who got one of those great new jobs I've been reading about in the Great (are they calling it "revamping?") the Lyre shirt from Swag for Life has gotten many compliments.
	4:31pm Scott67: G'day Hubig.P!😎🤙
	4:31pm coelacanth∅: i've never had either one
	4:31pm Aitch: Tailored ham
	4:31pm Julie: oh that's awful! what year?
	4:31pm Troymo: Thanks Scott! @Spodiodi digging your “Only a Lad” image. Love the Boingo
	4:31pm Stanley: Bas and that was a gig?
	4:32pm Handy Haversack: Stanley: Pete Lachaise definitely worth a visit. The Protestant Cemetery in Rome (where Keats is) also extremely worth it. Really lovely. And Gramsci is there!
	4:33pm David (in London): Stanley, I saw them at Friars on that final tour. and they were amazing. Were you there?
	4:33pm sim: @Julie. Thank you.
	🦇 4:33pm Bas NL: I think it was 2013-ish. They were the main act on a festival too. The room went bunkers.. obviously.
	4:34pm coelacanth∅: my older brother turned me onto the Marthas and their muffins. i never thought of it as "new wave" and never knew anyone else who'd heard of them until a few years ago. i thought it was so obscure.
	4:34pm Troymo: Saw Bauhaus during the 90’s in Seattle & it was fantastic! Too bad about your show Bas NL
	4:34pm Andres: coel @4:24 - Did not know that about Nico. I found an article “From the Velvets to the void.” Pretty unsettling summary.
	4:34pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Pere achaise is pretty much the only place I visited when on a day trip to Paris while interrailing. A beautiful summer day spent with the dead.
	4:34pm Andres: Canadian heroes here!
	4:35pm Stanley: David - unfortunately not. Was probably when I was at Poly in the Midlands.
	4:35pm coelacanth∅: Andres yeah it's sad
	4:35pm Handy Haversack: Andres, also see under the heading INNOCENT AND VAIN (1969) Or NICO’S GERMAN-ITY AND ANTI-SEMITISM at pleasekillme.com...
	4:36pm Julie: A beautiful summer day spent with the dead. what a wonderful phrase.
	4:37pm coelacanth∅: i spent 5 years-worth of beautiful summer days with the dead. it never lost it's charm
	4:38pm Scott67: I'm a little confused about Swag Pledges for Hellraiser. As a S4L do I automatically get the Ham Shirt & Retro Shirt? Or is that a separate one off Pledge needed. Which I will make, if I make a Pledge, can I ration it out to my fave Shows?.... & breathe! 😊
	4:39pm Scott67: Asking cos Handy is in the Room.😎🤙
	4:39pm Julie: yes you can divide it over shows... I think you have to make a new pledge to get the shirts.
	4:40pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @4:36 Julie: that's exactly what it was Julie, me and my then girlfriend were about the only living people there on that summer Sunday. Very odd, because often Mr Mojo Risin's grave was the 24/7 hour party central
	4:40pm Julie: I would visit Nick Drake's grave, where's he buried?
	4:41pm Stanley: Scott - as far as I know the October 'thon is extra pledging action. You can only deal out your S4L pot at main Marahon time.
	4:42pm sim: 1981 Cars. The boxy Chrysler K Cars. The also boxy Chevy Cavalier. The boxy Land-Roverish Isuzu Trooper. The stainless steel DMC DeLorean.
	4:42pm Stanley: Saw The Beat headline a CND rally back in da day
	4:42pm David (in London): In Warwickshire Julie. I've been to it,
	4:42pm Scott67: Julie, yeah that's what I wasn't sure of. If these 2 Shirts are Special "Hellraiser" edition only. Bit confused by the Swag Page, as usual. 😎🤙
	4:43pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: @4:40 Julie: google says Nick Drake sleeps at Church Of St Mary Magdalene, Tanworth-In-Arden
	4:43pm Handy Haversack: Sorry, Scott, was making a drink! Yeah, what Stanley said. You'd have to raise your S4L or do a one-time US$100 pledge to get the two shirts.
	4:44pm Miss G: When I pledged before, I think it said I could dedicate that pledge to up to 2 shows? I didn't pay attention because I hope to check my accountings and make another pledge.
	4:44pm HyperDose: I don't like to get political, but...am I the only one more partial to the neon green shirt?
	4:45pm Miss G: HyperDose, I'm going to get that one in acid green because where I live being a pedestrian is rather dangerous. . .
	4:45pm Stanley: Actually Handy, I spread smaller pledges around in October, ticking 'no swag' then hit up Joe McGasko for my accumulated total SWAG!
	4:45pm Handy Haversack: Totally with you, HyperDose!
	4:45pm Ken From Hyde Park: G'day, Scott! 🍉🍄🍌🧀
	4:45pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: btw, speaking of the Yorkshire Ripper, I did like the netflix documentary series very much - unusually good for Netflix.
	4:46pm laurapanic: Hey Scott....in or out today? Lol. I am still in til next week.
	4:46pm sim: @Scott67. Hey, had same issue. I'm a S4L for a few years. But, if you were S4L but didn't pick up any swag in Spring, you can get your swag now. But you gotta email Joe to do it.
	4:47pm Scott67: Handy, so can I divide the $100 ($138 AU) amongst different Shows?
	4:48pm Scott67: Handy, lovin the Lime Shirt mate!😎🤙👕
	4:48pm Scott67: HyperD***
	4:49pm Hopey Sockmonkey: I used to buy imported copies of Flexi-Pop on the regular. Still have most of those flexi-discs.
	4:50pm Handy Haversack: Scotty, yup. Up to 10 shows. And you'll get icons when on those shows' boards. Ghost is standard on main channel, drums on Drummer stream. Not sure about the others yet. Some shows have special ones (Michele, Matt, Ken, Marty, Wake, Vocal Fry, Double Dip Recess, Michael Shelley, e.g.).
	4:50pm Scott67: Sorry HyperD, you got auto named as Handy. Tuttle- Buttle!
	4:50pm Bryant in TO: @Stanley, you can really do that? Add up your pledges at the end of the marathon then put in a swag request?
	4:51pm Julie: did I pick an instrumental Lene song???
	4:51pm David (in London): Lene looking ace in that photo. Last time I was in Chichester she was playing, but I couldn't stay for the show sadly.
	4:51pm Milkies: 🖤
	4:51pm Stanley: Bryant - I don't know if that's official but that's what I do.
	4:52pm Handy Haversack: Bryant in TO: totally. Just pick "Bill me later" when you pledge, don't select any swag, and then at the end, when Joe sends you your bill, tell him what you want based on what you've pledged.
	4:52pm Julie: oh well, I picked something randomly know it would all be good and I got no vocals
	4:52pm Altered Beets: this one, wow. a lil bit slinky, a lil bit spooky, got that future swing
	4:52pm Scott67: Thanks Handy, knew you'd have the answers. Have another drink on me mate! 😎🤙💨🥃
	4:53pm Miss G: Oh Handy, thank you for being so informative as always!
	4:53pm Milkies: There some vocals for ya
	4:53pm Stanley: Bryant/Handy - I do it whilst charging my card as I go. Just keep a record.
	4:53pm Bryant in TO: Amazing! Thanks, Stanley, Handy!
	4:53pm Julie: heya Milkies!
	4:53pm Julie: hi altered beats!
	4:54pm Handy Haversack: Don't mind if I do ... Word, Stanley. I do "bill me later" so as to save myself all the card-number typing! And then often get to chat with Joe on the phone to give him the card info, which is fun. I am a pretty strict black-T-shirts-only dude, but that lime green one is going to go into the rotation.
	4:55pm Handy Haversack: DOTS!
	4:55pm Scott67: Ken, you got some Emojis for your Birthday mate? 😎🤙🎉🥂🍾🍣🍤
	🦇 4:56pm Bas NL: LPD! :)
	4:56pm David (in London): DOTS x 2!
	4:57pm Milkies: Legendary!!!
	4:57pm Miss G: Check out Virgil Pink channel on YouTube for some visual fun.
	4:58pm Handy Haversack: Is this new? (KIDDING!)
	🦇 4:59pm Bas NL: Sounds like the very British EDP Wasp synthesizer.
	4:59pm Andres: Hitting a sweet spot in this set!
	5:00pm HyperDose: You heard it here folks, 2021 is the new 1981!
	5:00pm Ken From Hyde Park: Haha, thanks Scott. Just a half birthday, so some of them will go in the freezer. 🥶
	5:05pm Aitch: Looking at an aussie list from 1981, memories eek. Turn Me Loose
	5:06pm sim: Love this Tom Tom Club track!
	5:06pm Julie: "there are dozens of us dozens!"
	5:08pm Androu B.: Greetings, Night Dwellers! A shame I mIssed the start of this, nevertheless, psyched to be here! Memories and unheard gems aplenty to enjoy!
	5:08pm Julie: hiya Androu!
	5:09pm Scott67: Handy, sorry mate. I'm in there & at the Payment screen, haven't found the bill me later? It's in the Show Widget you're gonna tell me?
	5:11pm Handy Haversack: Huh, Scott, I don't see it now either! Maybe they got rid of it? But as Stanley says, you can still make multiple pledges and not pick any swag add them all up at the end and deal with swag then.
	5:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Tina Weymouth looks a Fox !
	5:12pm spodiodi: Stan BD
	5:12pm Julie: most stuff these days seems to happen through email
	5:13pm Julie: I love Stan's voice
	5:13pm Stanley: Yep - the bill me later option not available for Hellraiser. Maybe because it's just an online gig.
	5:13pm spodiodi: me too, Julie. i like to mimic while i sing along
	5:13pm Scott67: Cool Handy, I'm not going blind then. 👍😎
	5:13pm Miss G: Julie Stan's version of "Ring of Fire" is one of my favorite songs. I also love him doing "Cannon Song"
	5:14pm Julie: ohhh yes so good Miss G
	5:14pm Stanley: Crikey mate - Men At Work
	5:15pm Scott67: Aussie Legends!!👍😎
	5:15pm spodiodi: was waiting for the cheers :D
	5:15pm Androu B.: Seems like all the DJ's in WFMUland have been playing Devo non-stop since Todd-O-Phonic Todd's interview with Gerald B. Casale a few weeks back
	5:15pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Miss G yeah Ring of Fire.
	5:15pm David (in London): This song is now so old it mentions 'a docket'.
	5:16pm Rich in Bay Ridge: "Machinery in my pocket...I even got a docket from you"
	5:16pm Doop: glad Mark Mothersbaugh made it thru his covid ordeal
	5:17pm Rich in Bay Ridge: I had to look up "docket" in the Funk & Wagonall's when I got this record
	5:17pm Julie: I just love this song, should've been a single but then there's already 2 from this record
	🦇 5:17pm Bas NL: Great band, Man At Work!
	5:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: '81 - year MTV came out.
	5:18pm Julie: heya Rev! Hey Rich!
	5:19pm David (in London): Hey Rev D.
	5:19pm Stanley: Is that Men at Work fella really wearing a pullover adorned with a tampons design?
	5:20pm Scott67: G'day RevoR.👍😎
	5:20pm Miss G: RRN63, your saying that reminds me to say, that some listening to this show might enjoy to check out "TV Party was a public-access television cable TV show in New York City that ran from 1978 to 1982" (wow thanks for all your hard work with the New Moon etc)
	5:20pm Doop: wow, good eye Stanley LOL
	5:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Stanley an homage to Lennon's Lost Weekend.
	5:21pm spodiodi: hah, Stanley! indeed
	5:22pm Scott67: Very likely Stanley!
	🦇 5:22pm Bas NL: Good one Stanley!
	5:23pm Handy Haversack: Wait, you don't have one, Stanley?
	5:24pm David (in London): My new musical Cats opens in the West End soon. About an amateur group of Cat Stevens impersonators. Hilary ensues.
	5:24pm spodiodi: \m/
	5:24pm Bryant in TO: People still talk about CATS. But what about The Amazing Alexander? I loved it. it was much better than CATS. I’m going to see it again and again.
	5:25pm David (in London): I'll get my coat.
	5:25pm Stanley: Say hi to Hilary for me, David.
	5:25pm spodiodi: and what about Twister? (the one with Crispin)
	5:26pm David (in London): Ahem, thank you Stanley. hilarity ensues I'll put my coat back, so that I can get it again,
	5:26pm Stanley: Flowers of Romance. Yay from me.
	5:26pm Julie: hi Bryant!
	5:27pm Photocopy Cha Cha 2000: Metal Box wasn't exactly Easy Listening. But rather easy compared to The Flowers of Romance - it is a bit of a demanding listen.
	5:27pm Bryant in TO: Hey, Julie!
	5:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Hillary always ensues. She's highly litigious. Even in 1981.
	5:27pm spodiodi: is this Flowers of ROmance? the version i know is very different
	5:27pm Julie: "Oct 11 Unknown rocker Prince opens for Rolling Stones at LA Coliseum"
	5:28pm Julie: this was the first PIL I ever heard. I was like WHAAAA
	5:28pm spodiodi: this is the version i know: www.youtube.com...
	5:29pm Handy Haversack: Julie, literally everyone in Minneapolis just simultaneously said "Unknown?!" Even the ones who weren't alive in 1981 and the ones who don't speak English and quite a few of the dead ones. Saying this so K8 doesn't have to.
	5:29pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I had this PiL vinyl - but didn't honestly play it often enuff to get 'fluent'. More like an artifact - some dark magic talisman it was enuff - maybe too much - to have around...
	5:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Ooo Kite an interesting cover. Have the original on 'Psych @ Abbey Road'.
	5:30pm David (in London): Always a favourite tune of mine, too, Rev.
	5:30pm C.S.: Late to 1981 but enjoying reading all the previous comments. Too young to not see 1981 through the eyes of a child but those times do stand out as happy ones.
	5:31pm Julie: hiya CS!
	5:31pm Miss G: I was going to say "what is this Lemon Kittens" but I looked it up and it's Danielle Dax, wow, someone once gave me one of her albums
	5:31pm Julie: I adore Danielle, it was her birthday last week.
	5:31pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Thot it was Dax !
	5:32pm Ken From Hyde Park: I like how Members Only jackets were the style in 1981.
	5:33pm Handy Haversack: Nothing comes between the world and my tampon jumper, Ken.
	5:33pm C.S.: Owned one of those jackets and drove a Dodge Aries K-car. I was so cool.
	5:34pm Miss G: sad face just checked, she was not there in between the Contortions and the Del-Byzanteens. Don't check your vinyl during the show, kids!
	5:34pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Could be a New Wave idol's name: Tampon Jumper...
	5:35pm Miss G: teary eyes Klaus Nomi was very kind to me on the street once when his friend was being bitchy. . .
	5:35pm C.S.: Amazing how the 80s shed any shadows from the 70s pretty quickly. I remember how technological advances for the average person was becoming a thing.
	5:35pm listener james from westwood: Klaus!!
	5:35pm David (in London): Ah, Klaus. Always welcome. Wasn't Tampon Jumper one of Cosey's art pieces?
	5:35pm Julie: Oh how nice Miss G!
	5:35pm Handy Haversack: Franco saw them at the Whiskey, Rev Rab! Klaus!!!!
	5:36pm spodiodi: olo Handy
	5:36pm Julie: I think 1981 deserves a music doc like the 1971 one!
	5:36pm Julie: was his bitchy friend Joey Arias?
	5:37pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Punk had been a pretty major rupture. & in another way - its still very image obsessed like elements of the 70s. Maybe.
	5:37pm Miss G: Julie I was wearing a flight suit like the ones he used to wear. It was on Broadway and St. Marks, it was so hot, and I had had to walk really far from my apartment on 1st and 1st to get a bag of groceries. L no I don't think Joey Arias would have been this mean!
	5:38pm Stanley: £10 on Tampon Jumper in the 3.30 at Kempton, please.
	5:38pm Handy Haversack: I put ten quid on Tampon Jumper in the fourth at Doncaster, David.
	5:38pm Miss G: Everyone must go watch David Bowie with Klaus Nomi and Joey Arias doing "The Man Who Sold the World" on SNL at their earliest convenience!
	5:38pm Handy Haversack: Ha, Stanley!!
	5:38pm spodiodi: olo Stanley
	5:39pm Julie: meanwhile in Canadian metal...
	5:39pm Stanley: Handy!
	5:39pm spodiodi: burned in my mind for all eternity, Miss G
	5:39pm HyperDose: What Miss G said!
	5:40pm David (in London): Not so loud lads, I don't want Julie to know that I'm running a book during her show.
	5:40pm Julie: hahaha
	5:41pm C.S.: Wow. Toronto wrote and performed "What About Love" first.
	5:41pm Andres: 80’s and later version of me misjudged Toronto apparently.
	5:41pm Bryant in TO: And don't miss the" Boys Keep Swinging" performance in that same SNL episode
	5:42pm Julie: $20 on Klaus Nomi's Bitchy Friend Please, David
	5:42pm Julie: I remember seeing that Boys Keep Swinging at the time, it creeped me out
	5:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well - I shoulda been Class of 1981...
	5:43pm Miss G: L they were standing behind me, so I couldn't see who it was (but maybe I can guess.) They couldn't see the tears drip down my sweaty face, but I held my head high!) (awww! L)
	5:44pm Scott67: $50, all on Stayfree; it has wings! 💸
	5:44pm Handy Haversack: Excellent! Great Selecter selection, selector! Oh, wow. For an American racetrack it would have to be KlausNomisBchyFrnd, but I would totally figure out a reason to make myself bet that horse. Were I still the kind of person who bet on horses. Which I'm not. BUT I REALLY MISS IT.
	5:44pm Stanley: Pauline Black. yay to her
	5:44pm Bryant in TO: Yeah, when I first watched it I thought it was a fever dream. And then it was pointed out that, at the end of the song, a giant member pokes out from the top of Bowie's puppet pants. Got past the censors. Even more surreal.
	5:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Nomi's Bitchfriend makes sense for a dog... Good for you Miss G.
	5:45pm David (in London): Soft going might favour Klaus Nomi's Bitchy Friend on past form Julie. Safe bet there.
	5:46pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Selecter not heard enuff if yer arsks me.
	5:46pm David (in London): Stanley, a wave of the old tie for our former school compadre Mr Dury!
	5:46pm Julie: I agree, I need to play more of them.
	5:46pm Androu B.: @Miss G & Bryant in TO I watched SNL as a tween in the 70's week after week and fondly remember Bowie's performance with Nomi and Arias aside him. It felt like a landmark moment for me. Even then I was such a huge Bowie fan.
	5:46pm Handy Haversack: Joe B. played Selecter in his selfies show on Monday, but I agree entirely, Rev Rab. Super band.
	5:47pm Milkies: GET DOWN, and get up again
	5:47pm Stanley: waves old school tie
	5:47pm listener james from westwood: Lovely to hear Ian here.
	5:47pm Julie: what flavors do the funky disco pops come in?
	5:47pm Miss G: Androu B I watched Patti Smith on SNL (first season) (was it jr high?) and my brother razzed her and I was like WHAT?!! (but I knew her poems from Creem.)
	5:48pm David (in London): Cheese & onion or prawn cocktail, Julie.
	5:49pm Julie: oh, I'll pass then (also put a fiver on Prawn Cocktail)
	5:49pm Andres: YES!!
	5:49pm Julie: I'm sure Sylvia is sleeping through her boys here
	5:49pm Scott67: Young Mode!
	5:50pm Andres: Later on Catching Up With... album.
	5:50pm Julie: is that a casio?
	5:50pm Bryant in TO: @Androu Even today, the Bowie/Nomi/Arias performances in that episode feel like an outlier for what gets on network TV, even late night. Wild, great stuff
	5:50pm Milkies: I thought that there were more handclaps in this song
	5:51pm Androu B.: Well, finally we get to what I was waiting for, the "Speak & Spell" album.
	5:51pm Julie: I miss the days of SNL weird music, where people watched Kate Bush and went, is she for real?
	5:51pm Miss G: Julie I indeed went out and bought that Kate Bush album!
	5:52pm David (in London): Mode sitting on the bonnet of a (I think) Morris Marina there. Fine British automotive technology from 1981.
	5:52pm spodiodi: i was trying to figure out what it was, David. thanks!
	5:53pm Handy Haversack: I am Cured! Gotta feed the monsters. Julie, the First Aid Kit Cohen tribute just arrived in the mail!
	5:53pm Doop: the TV show "Fridays" was a good source of new music
	5:53pm David (in London): It was a truly shit car Spod. My dad was especially contemptuous of them.
	5:53pm Stanley: Fuck me, David, I think you're right. My Dad had one back then. A lovely Cream of Campbells mushroom soup colour.
	5:54pm Julie: yes! great show! I remember Devo & Quarterflash
	5:54pm Julie: mmm mushroom soup
	5:54pm Stanley: Heap of shit (the car, not the show!)
	5:55pm David (in London): Stanley, did he sell it to Depeche Mode by any chance?
	5:55pm spodiodi: i had a car that was Baby Shit Yellow, Stanley. Campbell's Cream of Mushroom was one of my top soups backintheday, but never a fave color (yee)
	5:57pm Androu B.: Thanks for bringing back 1981 for all of us, Julie!
	5:57pm Andres: Bette Davis Eyes still a number one in my ears.
	5:59pm spodiodi: my rich cousins had a couple speak n spells. i had to sleep over at their house to use 'em. they got to play with my atari 2600
	5:59pm johnk77: great show selecter on sundays noon eastern ranking full stop w/mike sin on rock'n'soul stream plays early 80s ska including bands like selecter, madness, etc though most of the show features older jamaican music very well done ;>
	6:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: piSToLs album maximum rotation in my bedroom. Never really go to it anymore. Tho' I don't mind hearing it obviously.
	6:01pm Julie: I guess at the time it was groundbreaking but it is basically rock n roll
	6:01pm Miss G: whoops I just posted to the wrong show I'm a little distracted <GET OUT another hour? I used up all my comments! Willl be here tho!>
	6:01pm Julie: thanks JohnK!
	6:03pm Androu B.: I remember owning the "Dance" album on cassette (unless I'm thinking of another Gary Numan album).
	6:04pm Julie: boy I used to stare at the cover of Dance
	6:04pm Stanley: Very enjoyable show, this evening. Thanks Julie but Morpheus awaits. Good night all.
	6:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: piSToLs album so much of one moment now it seems. (Berlin Wall ?) Its release was delayed like the Velvet's debut a decade earlier - & many Punk essentials... Also - I loves the RawkaRollaz like that rapper loves bigbutts & I cannot lie.
	6:05pm Handy Haversack: Good sleep, Stanley. See you at the races!
	6:05pm David (in London): Night Stanley.
	6:05pm Aitch: We had the Marina down here too. Piles of crap, a few friends had them as first cars because they were so very cheap.
	6:05pm Julie: nite Stanley!
	🦇 6:05pm Bas NL: Good night Stanley.
	6:05pm Julie: this song makes me think of Glockabelle
	6:05pm spodiodi: Sir Mix-a-Lot <-- respect
	6:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: flipside Stanley !
	6:06pm spodiodi: night, Stanley
	6:06pm Milkies: Oui Oui Oui
	6:06pm chris in the redwoods: see ya Stanley!
	6:07pm Gary: Howdy!
	6:07pm Julie: hi Gary!
	6:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...also - in light of Lydon's - erm - periodically perplexing opinions subsequently ...do reflect that after the piSToLs - I never questioned PiL's legitimacy for a moment. It was strong stuff out the gate.
	6:10pm David (in London): Right, with an early start tomorrow I have to bale now too. Thanks Julie, REALLY enjoyed today's show. I'll give you your winnings next week (Klaus Nomi's Bitchy Friend romped home in first place). Toodles groovers.
	6:10pm spodiodi: i think Sir Mix-a-Lot started the whole insult a White (stereotypical) person by using a traditionally popular name: "Oh, my, God Becky, look at her butt" see; Karen, Felicia, etc. and i love him
	6:10pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Late David iL !
	6:10pm Handy Haversack: Night, David!
	6:11pm coelacanth∅: the sexpistols album never dazzled me. it sounded, and sounds like pretty standard rock&roll, adequately played and produced. the sneering vocals of a douchebag nobody and antagonistic lyrics are it's only redeeming value. most other punk bands rocked harder, or better. it's not interesting to me.
	6:11pm Scott67: Had this Album!👍😎
	6:11pm spodiodi: goodnight, DiL!
	6:11pm chris in the redwoods: see ya, David.
	🦇 6:11pm Bas NL: Sleep tight, David!
	6:11pm Scott67: G'night David!✌😎
	6:11pm coelacanth∅: 'night Stanley and David
	6:12pm Julie: nite David!
	6:12pm Androu B.: TTFN, David!
	6:12pm Scott67: G'night Stanley!✌😎
	6:12pm Handy Haversack: Even the singer from Bow Wow Wow Can't make up her mind ...
	6:13pm ryansterlingvirtue: Hi Julie! Great song! Sorry I’ve been absent. I hope you are well.
	6:13pm Julie: oh man they had an '81 album too...so many greats
	6:13pm Julie: hey ryan, good to see ya!
	6:13pm Miss G: re: Adam and the Ants I do admit that I mixed it up with my punk outfits and wore a full New Romantic look to Hurrah. . .
	6:14pm miles of middle texas: Hey Julie ! Hey y'all ! I finished high school in 81'. So..... love it.
	6:15pm Gary: How hard can (should?) a listener (me) beg to hear something from Odyshape?
	6:15pm Julie: hiya Miles!
	6:15pm Andres: Echo! Yes!
	6:16pm Julie: AUGH another one I left out
	6:16pm Miss G: (sorry, Hurrah had closed. ..Danceteria?) Love this Echo & The Bunnymen
	6:16pm chris in the redwoods: didn't realize how much i missed these bands!
	6:16pm Julie: sorry Gary
	6:16pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Well coela - @ the same time I was deep into the NY Dolls' 1st album. When things were released mattered little to me alone in smalltown NewHampshuh... & the piSToLs album was like nothing so much as the Dolls. I concede most of that ...yet they were good @ it. Hard to remember what their impact was like in 1977ish. As for TheRamones - the resistance to them was a bit of a shock to even them themselves I reckon. Feel like in this playlist @ least the Bunnymen are turning a corner into something else...
	6:17pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Children of Nuggets
	6:17pm Androu B.: Speaking of E&TB, I recently discovered that there was a British actor who also goes by the name Ian McCulloch (no relation, I'm sure).
	6:17pm Scott67: Yessss! Aussie gold!👍😎
	6:17pm Gary: Haha, no worries -- better to hear things I don't already have
	6:17pm Handy Haversack: Fantastic!
	6:18pm
