Listener comments!
	🎸 ♥ 7:57pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	🎸 ♥ 9:02pm Krys O.: Hello! Any Sleestaks afoot?
	9:02pm Mr. X: Hey, Mutineers!
	🎸 ♥ 9:02pm Austin Rich: Good Hello, Krys O and Mr. X! No Sleestaks here... but beware!
	9:02pm Mr Fab: Austin! Seamless transition out of 'Sheena 'ssembly Required' with all this sampling.
	♥ 9:02pm Scott67: G'day Austin & Mutants! 🍻😎🤙🥸👺👿🤡🤖👽💀🐲🦑🪳🦠🪰🦞
	🎸 ♥ 9:03pm Austin Rich: @Mr. Fab: Sometimes the stream can throw you off... but it really worked this time. Good Hello, @Scott67
	🎸 ♥ 9:03pm Kat in Chicago: Ha yes, great transition
	🎸 ♥ 9:04pm Austin Rich: Good Hello, Kat!
	9:04pm Mr. X: I had to look up Land of the Lost before I tuned in. I had never watched the show before. No idea why. It apparently had all the things I like in it.
	🎸 ♥ 9:04pm Kat in Chicago: Good hello, Mr. Rich!
	9:05pm ?: Nice to hear you connected without any issues! :)
	♥ 9:05pm HyperDose: The lava lamp lounge is a strange and unpredictable place, that's for sure!
	9:06pm Mr Fab: oh man, I loved "Land of the Lost." But in those pre VCR days, if there was another show opposite something, you couldn't watch it, so maybe you had a schedule conflict, Mr X..?
	♥ 9:06pm postconsumer: Nice to hear you connected without any issues! :)
	🎸 ♥ 9:06pm Krys O.: Gonna listen for a bit as I straighten up before bed. We're all kinda lost, aren't we?
	♥ 9:06pm postconsumer: Land of the Lost was a fave, as a kid...
	9:06pm Ellen Lovebug: Hi, everyone~ sorry I wasn't on for Box 13 yesterday, I missed you all!
	9:07pm Geoff-U: Hullo hullo I am the proud new owner of a really cool Sun Ra CD :)
	🎸 ♥ 9:07pm Austin Rich: That's so awesome, @Geoff-U! Thanks for being a donor!
	🎸 ♥ 9:08pm Austin Rich: We missed you, @Ellen!
	9:08pm Ellen Lovebug: Mazel Tov~ enjoy I love ASF
	♥ 9:09pm Scott67: I,m in my just feel like watching Kaiju Movies mood today. So this is perfect Austin! 🍻😎🤙🦠🦖🦑🧠🦾🦿☠️
	9:09pm Mr Fab: Hey, Geoff-U: the Marathon prizes are starting to hit the mailboxes?
	🎸 ♥ 9:09pm Austin Rich: I got this Wipers album on Cassette in the 90's, when I lived in Eugene. (Bought at House of Records, even.) I used to skateboard around, as a disaffected youth, thinking I was so cool...
	🎸 ♥ 9:09pm Austin Rich: Ooooo.... I could go for a monster movie marathon, yeah!
	♥ 9:10pm HyperDose: Can't wait to get my premiums!
	9:10pm ramencity: They hired a linguist to invent a language for the pakus on Land of the Lost, _decades_ before James Cameron did the same thing for Titanic II.
	🎸 ♥ 9:10pm Austin Rich: @Mr. X: We should watch some OG Land of The Lost... after our Rocky & Bullwinkle marathon.
	9:10pm Ellen Lovebug: This is a really fun song :) It's so heavy and light at the same time
	🎸 ♥ 9:10pm Krys O.: My brother and I watched the show. We were sci-fi kids and we also appreciated cheepnis. My brother and his friends made were amateur filmmakers in the early 70s. I tagged along as a kid sister would. When they came over to watch TV at our apartment, it was like MST3K IRL. That's why I'm an immutable weirdo. Oh, one of the friends went on to success in Hollywood. He wrote the screenplay for Midnight Run.
	🎸 ♥ 9:11pm Austin Rich: Great to see you in the chat, @ramencity! I was introduced to the wipers by @ramencity.
	🎸 ♥ 9:11pm Austin Rich: @Krys O: that sounds like so many groups of friends I know!
	9:11pm Ellen Lovebug: ramencity, I did not know that! Krys O wow, do you still have any of your films from back then?
	9:12pm Mr. X: @AR: You're on. I have Bullwinkle on DVD.
	9:12pm xapnomapcase1: The Wipers are so great.
	🎸 ♥ 9:12pm Krys O.: Reptilicus and Gorgo were my favorites as a tiny tot. Also loved Son of Kong. Such a cutie.
	🎸 ♥ 9:12pm Austin Rich: @xapnomopcase1! Always great to see you in the chat! I wonder if Wendella is near...
	9:13pm ramencity: Codeine cures covid yeah?
	🎸 ♥ 9:13pm Austin Rich: @Mr. X: I have the first Season of R&B on DVD (found at a thrift store). But I don't have the others... Have you seen the new one from a couple years ago? It's pretty good.
	🎸 ♥ 9:14pm Krys O.: Hey, Ellen. I only watched the goings on from behind the camera. I never acted or held the camera for them. I did help my ex with music videos in the late 80s onward and then I taught myself how to edit video. I think my profile has a link to my YouTube account.
	🎸 ♥ 9:14pm Austin Rich: I think LISTENING to Codeine cures what ails ya.
	9:14pm Geoff-U: Mr. Fab yes! Got mine a couple of days ago.
	🎸 ♥ 9:14pm Austin Rich: Maybe White Birch cures Covid?
	♥ 9:15pm HyperDose: This college rock radio is sex
	🎸 ♥ 9:15pm Krys O.: I'm allergic to codeine. I get what's called the Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction. It's extremely painful, but hey, I can't get addicted to opiates.
	🎸 ♥ 9:15pm Austin Rich: Yeah. I hope anyone who is with their partner is getting it on, '90's college rock radio style.
	9:15pm ramencity: I remember Codeine used to write their set lists on 2x4s. HEAVY
	♥ 9:16pm Scott67: Okay, so had no idea Will Ferrell's Film was such a direct link to the Original. Never saw it in Australia! My new Mission for today is to find & watch it!! 🍻😎🤙🦖🌋🛸
	♥ 9:16pm HyperDose: Freeform is a much healthier addiction, Krys 😉
	🎸 ♥ 9:16pm Kat in Chicago: Sphincter of Oddi sounds extremely painful and I wonder if anyone's using it as a band name
	🎸 ♥ 9:16pm Krys O.: There's research into CBD and its ability to lessen Covid symptoms.
	🎸 ♥ 9:16pm Austin Rich: Now, let's just really wallow...
	9:16pm Geoff-U: Ooh I got to see Unwound at the big warehouse thingy in PDX that's gone by various names (I think it was B-Complex then, it later was Branx/Rotture)
	♥ 9:17pm HyperDose: I'm in heaven mister DJ
	9:17pm ramencity: I was at that show @Geoff-U
	🎸 ♥ 9:17pm Austin Rich: Unwound put on some of the best shows I've ever seen. So amazing. @ramencitykid ALSO introduced me to Unwound.
	🎸 ♥ 9:17pm Krys O.: Hi, Kat! Whenever I've mentioned the condition it either causes confusion or laughter as it sounds like I made it up, but it's real. Trust me.
	9:17pm Geoff-U: That warehouse might have even been the home of Meow Meow for a little while iirc
	🎸 ♥ 9:18pm Austin Rich: (@ramencitykid introduced me to most of the cool stuff I know about. 'zines included.)
	9:18pm Geoff-U: ramencity yay!! it was fun :)
	♥ 9:18pm Scott67: Only time I took Codeine I didn't shit for 3 days, not even the urge. Spooky feeling for a 2 a day man. 🍻😎🤙
	🎸 ♥ 9:19pm Krys O.: www.hopkinsmedicine.org...
	🎸 ♥ 9:19pm Austin Rich: The weather has been totally moody here lately, and it's been a rollercoaster of weird news and crazy, everyday stuff. I felt like it was time to just get a little sad for an evening.
	9:19pm Mr. X: I used to get Unwound and Unrest mixed up.
	🎸 ♥ 9:20pm Krys O.: Yup, Scott. Opiates cause severe constipation.
	9:20pm Mr Fab: there's GOT to be a metal band called Sphincter of Oddi.
	🎸 ♥ 9:20pm Austin Rich: Isn't that constipation bit how "Trainspotting" opens?
	🎸 ♥ 9:20pm Kat in Chicago: I'm wondering how I missed out on Unwound, this is lovely.
	9:21pm Geoff-U: Feeling gloomy in the Pacific NW? Highly unusual but I'll allow it ;)
	🎸 ♥ 9:21pm Austin Rich: There's a great progression to Unwound albums. It's like a great story, when you listen to them all in order.
	🎸 ♥ 9:21pm Austin Rich: The Numero Group did some amazing Unwound reissues.
	♥ 9:22pm postconsumer: Very relaxing set, so far. Much needed.
	9:22pm Ellen Lovebug: Ooh! I will try to check out your youtube account, Krys O! Geoff-U I remember hearing about B-Complex. @Ramencitykid we all owe you a debt of gratitude!
	9:23pm Mr Fab: I missed this stuff in the '90s. I was all about Golden Age hip-hop, into the kind of sampling electronica stuff that Jon was just playing. And that was also the decade I really started delving into jazz, blues, International musics. Just felt like there was nothing more to be done with the whole 4-white-guys-playing-electric-guitar thing.
	🎸 ♥ 9:23pm Kat in Chicago: Thank you, Austin, I'll look into the Unwound discography. Krys, that Oddi business does sound distinctly unpleasant.
	♥ 9:23pm HyperDose: Adding "have sex to New Plastic Ideas" to the bucket list
	9:23pm Ellen Lovebug: Austin are you interweaving sound clips from The Land of the Lost into these songs, or did all these bands do that themselves?
	🎸 ♥ 9:23pm Krys O.: BTW-I found out today that cartoonist Justin Green passed away recently. His legendary comic book Binky Brown Meets the Holy Virgin Mary is incredible.
	🎸 ♥ 9:24pm Kat in Chicago: That's kind of where I was in the mid-90s too, Fab.
	♥ 9:25pm Scott67: Did someone say Cold Pizza!!? I fucken have some!!! 🍻😎🤙🍕🍕🍕
	🎸 ♥ 9:25pm Kat in Chicago: I got my fill of guitar bands living in Chapel Hill for a year in the early 90s, then I fell in love and moved to NYC and things got weirder
	9:25pm Ellen Lovebug: Mr. Fab I used to edit a conscious hip-hop magazine that came with a compilation CD, issued by the YouthPeace program of War Resisters League and the Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors.
	♥ 9:26pm postconsumer: I love that Binky Brown book. :(
	🎸 ♥ 9:26pm Austin Rich: Binky Brown is pretty great, but yeah... that book sort of fills me with shame, and I'm a godless heathen.
	♥ 9:27pm postconsumer: His wife is also a great comic artist. So sad to hear.
	♥ 9:27pm Scott67: Nice Lava Lamp Photo-bomb Austin!
	🎸 ♥ 9:27pm Krys O.: I hear ya, postconsumer. It changed my life when I read it in the mid-80s. I come from a long line of neurotics AND Polish Catholics with all the guilt that entails.
	9:27pm Heather Z: Hi everyone! I'm hanging out listening!! Austin, Zap No Map Case is how you say our friend's name! Took me a bit too!
	🎸 ♥ 9:27pm Austin Rich: These samples are from an old episode of the "Escape" radio show.
	🎸 ♥ 9:28pm Krys O.: Good catch, Scott!
	9:28pm Mr Fab: Ellen Lovebug: that sounds great, i was really into that kinda thing.
	🎸 ♥ 9:28pm Austin Rich: Zap No Map Case! There we go!
	♥ 9:28pm postconsumer: I found it much more recently. Just finished reading his wife's books a few weeks ago (C. Tyler).
	🎸 ♥ 9:29pm Kat in Chicago: Nice lampspotting, Scott
	♥ 9:29pm Scott67: Photographers eye Krys! .😎🤙📷
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm Austin Rich: I finally have three lava lamps for the Lava Lamp Lounge these days. I have a base for at least one more. Just need to find the glass part.
	9:30pm Mr. X: So is Cold Pizza convenience store clerk Jose's own project?
	♥ 9:30pm Scott67: Cheers Kat! 🍻😎🤙🍕
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm Kat in Chicago: I want one of those glitter ones again, had one years ago.
	🎸 ♥ 9:31pm Austin Rich: Yes. I had Jose over for beers one day, after work. He home-recorded all his own music, just him and multi-tracks. He did a lot of electronic, weird guitar stuff, sometimes funny... sometimes just odd. He was so amazingly weird and wonderful. And then... I just have no idea where he disappeared to. "Cold Pizza" is a bit hard of a name to Google.
	♥ 9:31pm Scott67: No Lava Lamp emoji!! Sucks!!
	♥ 9:32pm postconsumer: Gotta go make supper for my kiddo. Will keep listening, in the kitchen, but have to sign out of the chat. Have a good show, Austin!
	🎸 ♥ 9:32pm Austin Rich: Thanks @postconsumer! Great show tonight, as usual!
	♥ 9:32pm Scott67: Seeya Jon! 😎🤙🍽️
	♥ 9:32pm postconsumer: Thanks :)
	🎸 ♥ 9:34pm Austin Rich: For those curious: I have at least four Cold Pizza "albums." The music ranges wildly from track to track, album to album.
	9:37pm Mr Fab: That Cold Pizza track was really nice. Too bad he can't put them up for download or sumthin somewhere.
	🎸 ♥ 9:38pm Austin Rich: I last heard from Jose just after I moved to Salem, probably 2014? Then... radio silence. He doesn't Social Media, and the e-mail I had now bounces. So... oh well. Maybe someday Jose will notice I play his stuff sometimes? He was very nice. Good taste in beer, if I remember correctly.
	♥ 9:38pm Scott67: Wow, Original Land of the Lost is so dinky, right down to the Banjo theme. Gotta watch it later! 🍻😎🤙🍕🦖🌋🪕
	9:40pm Ellen Lovebug: Mr. Fab here's an article about our publication and CD combo:www.africasgateway.com...
	9:41pm Ellen Lovebug: I love the Juice Machine folks. That they played my birthday/Fall Equinox birthday show with you and with me and Chris as Bast Awakening and with Curtis was very meaningful to me
	9:41pm Mr. X: Some of the premise of Land of the Lost seems to be similar to the premise of the original Turok, Son of Stone on Dell Comics starting in 1954.
	🎸 ♥ 9:44pm Austin Rich: I do love those Turok comics. Probably for some of the same reasons.
	9:46pm Ellen Lovebug: I will owe you forever for that party Austin, that was our cassette release party for our split of Bast Awakening and DEATH MUTATIONS, and it was my first cassette release ever!
	🎸 ♥ 9:48pm Austin Rich: I need to put that tape for sale on my Bandcamp page. I have a grip of them, but they aren't listed online anywhere.
	🎸 ♥ 9:50pm Austin Rich: Strange Coincidence, again: I got a package from Sweatband Records YESTERDAY, with a new Le Petit Sac CD release. I think you can safely say: the Sleestak's have attacked!
	9:52pm Mr Fab: As good a time as any to revisit the crown jewel of Station Manager Ken’s black velvet painting collection: blogfiles.wfmu.org...
	🎸 ♥ 9:54pm Austin Rich: That's a gem! I only have two anymore, and they're so-so. I used to have a few, but over the years, I gave them away, etc. Poor decisions as a younger person.
	🎸 ♥ 9:55pm Austin Rich: I used to work at the Velveteria, when it was in PDX. That was a fun job.
	9:56pm Mr. X: As long as at least one of them is of Elvis, you're good.
	9:56pm Mr Fab: I would have PAID to work there! They moved down to LA, but closed, like so many other places over the psat couple years.
	🎸 ♥ 9:57pm Austin Rich: See, I have no Elvises. Or and smoking grandmothers. Yeah, I should contact them. They were so nice.
	9:57pm Mr. X: That just ain't right.
	🎸 ♥ 9:58pm Austin Rich: I need to locate some more velvets. But I've been playing it close to the house the last couple years... some reason or another...
	9:59pm ramencity: I have a velvet painting of space unicorns frolicking
	🎸 ♥ 10:00pm Austin Rich: I think this "Black Artiodactyls" was part of a mail-only, music exchange group I was a part of in 2019, where we all picked a month and sent out music that we made to everyone in the group. I don't know if you could get this CD other places, but at least at first, it was only for the group. Since then, it's probably for sale somewhere.
	🎸 ♥ 10:00pm Austin Rich: Space Unicorns are the best kind!
	10:03pm Ellen Lovebug: I would love that, Austin! I remember seeing/meeting Le Petit Sac at Funagain.
	10:05pm xapnomapcase1: You could just use my name.
	10:05pm Ellen Lovebug: Woohoo live!
	♥ 10:06pm HyperDose: yayy mini-mutation!!! 😍
	🎸 ♥ 10:08pm Austin Rich: This is when I admit that it is not LIVE at this moment, but a recording of me performing live in the studio, at the end of 2019. It wasn't widely heard then, so it felt right to re-broadcast it. It's pretty hard to do live on Sheena, while running the gear, and staying in the chat. I've tried it a couple times, and I'll try it again. But recording a live performance is a lot easier than playing live AND doing all the other stuff.
	10:08pm ramencity: this music is pre-covid
	♥ 10:09pm HyperDose: Was part of the recent lava lounge rearrange to optimize workflow?
	🎸 ♥ 10:09pm Austin Rich: It is. I was sort of gearing up for the Winter tour that I was doing in December, and then I was gonna do the Negativland shows in March... but Covid canceled half of those shows.
	🎸 ♥ 10:10pm Austin Rich: @HyperDose: Yeah. I'm trying to get a good arrangement so I can do radio, record music, and then switch to other stuff easily. It's not ideal yet... but getting there.
	🎸 ♥ 10:12pm Austin Rich: For this performance: I was using two CDJs, loaded with a thumbdrive full of mp3s. A Microgranny. A Kaospad. An iPad full of samples. A computer full of samples. A delay pedal, and a mixer. Plus a bunch of cables and stuff.
	🎸 ♥ 10:13pm Austin Rich: Oh: and a cassette deck. This was before I had the gear made by Mothhuntermods, so I wasn't mangled the tape, just playing samples.
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm Austin Rich: wasn't mangling the tape...
	🎸 ♥ 10:16pm Austin Rich: This is much more like the version of Mid-Valley Mutations that I started doing when I moved to Salem. Hour 1 was usually music (with some samples) as I would get the gear set up, and then Hour 2 was usually a live performance, either by a guest, myself, or a guest and myself. That has been the dominate form of show since then... but of course, I shake things up all the time, as people probably know.
	♥ 10:18pm HyperDose: @Austin Have you thought about looking into a big desk? I got this one last year and it's wayyy better than working from a coffee table and couch! www.musiciansfriend.com...
	10:18pm Ellen Lovebug: This is lovely and relaxing and intriguing. I'm digging it.
	♥ 10:20pm Scott67: a dark misting rain has rolled in here. Perfect brooding soundtrack for it Austin!
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm Austin Rich: Oh, yeah. In the lounge now I have a huge desk (that is motorized, so I can go from standing to sitting, or back again.) And, next to that, I have two tables: one at standing height, with a bunch of gear, and one a desk height, with some other gear. It's better than the couch / coffee table set-up, I would occasionally do.
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm Austin Rich: That table you linked to looks nice!
	♥ 10:23pm HyperDose: I had the smaller version before, this one is much more durable with the wrap around cage. Tons of outboard racks so it will be great as I acquire more gear. Side note: This mini-mutation is so powerful, I cracked open a beer
	🎸 ♥ 10:23pm Austin Rich: I recommend a little something with this one.
	🎸 ♥ 10:25pm Austin Rich: The current problem I'm having: I hate all desk chairs I have found. They are all TERRIBLE, and I am constantly looking for a new desk chair. But I haven't found one yet.
	🎸 ♥ 10:25pm Austin Rich: Standing is better for performing / DJing, anyway.
	🎸 ♥ 10:26pm Austin Rich: But you can't always stand for two hours. I have one of those pads they put down in kitchens, to stand on when I use to play shows. But I only use it in the studio now, when I'm recording.
	♥ 10:27pm HyperDose: I can help, Austin!!!
	🎸 ♥ 10:28pm Austin Rich: You got a chair connection?
	10:29pm Ellen Lovebug: Something very scary just happened. Doing research for the book I was editing, I copied and pasted a link for a page about foxes, and suddenly, my computer froze, then shut off completely
	🎸 ♥ 10:30pm Austin Rich: I'm sorry, Ellen. Did everything come back after you turned it back on?
	10:33pm Ellen Lovebug: It just happened. I'm not sure yet. I have to see if I have to redo all the editing I was doing in MS Word
	🎸 ♥ 10:33pm Austin Rich: Good Luck, Ellen. Stuff like that is frustrating.
	♥ 10:35pm HyperDose: Over the past year I went through two AWFUL Amazon chairs that actually started causing back issues. If you look at Amazon there are no recognizable brand names. I like the executive style chairs because the mesh ergonomic ones are not cat friendly or durable. Problem with executive chairs being the shape is just soft foam that offers no support, the tilt mechanism is supported by a flimsy bar that lets your weight shift, and the piston is pneumatic which are trash. Decided to give one of those silly car seat GaMiNg ChAiRs a shot since they stress ergonomic comfort. Razer just released a more affordable version of their flagship chair with all the features of a SecretLab (top of the line). It's the best chair I've ever sat on. All tilt angles have separate levers and mechanisms, and it has a class 4 hydraulic piston. Forces proper alignment while being comfortable enough to spend all day in. Usually $400 but you can get it for a $50 off introductory price: www.bestbuy.com...
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm Austin Rich: Hmmmmmmm. I will have to try that out, HyperDose. Thanks for the tip!
	10:39pm Mr. X: Never mind the space ship! Let's ride the space unicorns out of here instead!
	🎸 ♥ 10:40pm Austin Rich: Good Idea, Mr. X. They'll get us out to somewhere fun, for sure.
	♥ 10:41pm Scott67: 🛸🦄🌈☄️
	🎸 ♥ 10:41pm Austin Rich: I'm probably as skeptical of gaming chairs as you were, @HyperDose, but that's a genuine recommendation that I can't turn my nose up at. I mean, those gamers sit in those chairs all day long... I should consider it, for sure.
	♥ 10:46pm HyperDose: The included memory foam neck pillow was a big selling point for me. I also like how it's not too racer car-ish. Very premium stitching
	10:46pm Mr. X: When they have gaming chairs with a built in toilet and micro-fridge, you know we'll be one step closer to being floating brains.
	10:47pm Ellen Lovebug: That was very meditative
	♥ 10:47pm HyperDose: If I moved the UPS I could totally fit a mini-fridge under the desk. Hmm tempting...
	10:49pm Ellen Lovebug: I love the idea of Mutation Fest. I used to work the Med Tent at Autonomous Mutant Fest, thanks for that inadvertent memory
	10:50pm Ellen Lovebug: I could definitely try to prompt Chris to come up with something for me or pull up some lyrics from the past
	10:52pm Mr Fab: nice background sounds as I was going thru the horrors of my record/CD/tape back room. I need an intern to come over and organize. Will give you college credit!
	10:52pm ramencity: return of cark?! wut
	🎸 ♥ 10:55pm Austin Rich: Yep. Cark is back, @ramencitykid.
	10:55pm Ellen Lovebug: At the Eugene Major Hex show at John Henry's, Tethys is also playing, with whom I did a set as you recall at our Salem show, Austin. And Ariana with whom I performed as Dryad Drone is DJing a set. I'm going to pay to go but then listen from outside
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm WR: Thank you Austin!
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm Austin Rich: @Mr.Fab: If I lived closer, I would take you up on that! I love organizing music!
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm Austin Rich: Thanks WR!
	10:56pm Mr Fab: ha, this is cool. Is it available anywhere?
	♥ 10:57pm Scott67: Thanks Austin! Fantastic Journey mate! 🍻😎🤙🦖🌋☄️🌈🦄🧠
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm Austin Rich: Yeah, that Major Hex show in Eugene on my ACTUAL BIRTHDAY might be an essential show for this season.
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm Austin Rich: majorhex.bandcamp.com...
	10:57pm Ellen Lovebug: OOOH!. I'd love to see you. It's also Beltaine
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm Austin Rich: Major Hex is actually a Salem band. Rare in this town!
	10:57pm Ellen Lovebug: And Happy Birthday, I love you!
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: This kind of music is so not cool in Salem. But these guys are pretty dope!
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: Thanks Ellen! You are always amazing!
	10:59pm ramencity: Austin is the beltane fire
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm Austin Rich: Wrapping up here. Thanks everyone! You are all amazing!
	10:59pm Mr Fab: thanks Austin, super cool stuff!
	10:59pm Mr. X: Thanks for another great show, Austin.
	♥ 11:00pm HyperDose: Thank you, Austin!
	🎸 ♥ 11:00pm Austin Rich: Thanks Mr. Fab & Mr. X! You two are the best. Thanks HyperDose! You are excellent, too.
	11:01pm Ellen Lovebug: You, too~ hopefully see you Saturday
	11:03pm Christina: I can’t believe I missed Codeine. That’s a throwback, Austin! Tried to get my kiddos to watch land of the lost. “Mom, this is boring! The CGI is so bad!” ;) great set :)
	🎸 ♥ 11:04pm Austin Rich: You can always listen to the archive! But yeah, Codeine is the best.

Mid-Valley Mutations with Austin Rich: Playlist from April 26, 2022

View austinrich's profile

A combination of collage, new experimental records and other bits and bobs, Mid-Valley Mutations is a tour through the mind of Austin Rich, who has been broadcasting in some form since 1998. Heavily influenced by Dr Demento, Don Joyce and old fashioned College Radio, Austin creates Audio Essays on a variety of subjects, and even just plays records, from time to time. Sometimes Live music and Interviews will grace the program, helping create a situation where you don't really know what you're going to hear, when you tune in. What you need to know is when you enter the Mid-Valley region, be prepared for the Musical Mutations... in whatever form they take.

Tuesday 9 - 11pm (EDT) | On WFMU's Sheena's Jungle Room

Listener comments!
	🎸 ♥ 7:57pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	🎸 ♥ 9:02pm Krys O.: Hello! Any Sleestaks afoot?
	9:02pm Mr. X: Hey, Mutineers!
	🎸 ♥ 9:02pm Austin Rich: Good Hello, Krys O and Mr. X! No Sleestaks here... but beware!
	9:02pm Mr Fab: Austin! Seamless transition out of 'Sheena 'ssembly Required' with all this sampling.
	♥ 9:02pm Scott67: G'day Austin & Mutants! 🍻😎🤙🥸👺👿🤡🤖👽💀🐲🦑🪳🦠🪰🦞
	🎸 ♥ 9:03pm Austin Rich: @Mr. Fab: Sometimes the stream can throw you off... but it really worked this time. Good Hello, @Scott67
	🎸 ♥ 9:03pm Kat in Chicago: Ha yes, great transition
	🎸 ♥ 9:04pm Austin Rich: Good Hello, Kat!
	9:04pm Mr. X: I had to look up Land of the Lost before I tuned in. I had never watched the show before. No idea why. It apparently had all the things I like in it.
	🎸 ♥ 9:04pm Kat in Chicago: Good hello, Mr. Rich!
	9:05pm ?: Nice to hear you connected without any issues! :)
	♥ 9:05pm HyperDose: The lava lamp lounge is a strange and unpredictable place, that's for sure!
	9:06pm Mr Fab: oh man, I loved "Land of the Lost." But in those pre VCR days, if there was another show opposite something, you couldn't watch it, so maybe you had a schedule conflict, Mr X..?
	♥ 9:06pm postconsumer: Nice to hear you connected without any issues! :)
	🎸 ♥ 9:06pm Krys O.: Gonna listen for a bit as I straighten up before bed. We're all kinda lost, aren't we?
	♥ 9:06pm postconsumer: Land of the Lost was a fave, as a kid...
	9:06pm Ellen Lovebug: Hi, everyone~ sorry I wasn't on for Box 13 yesterday, I missed you all!
	9:07pm Geoff-U: Hullo hullo I am the proud new owner of a really cool Sun Ra CD :)
	🎸 ♥ 9:07pm Austin Rich: That's so awesome, @Geoff-U! Thanks for being a donor!
	🎸 ♥ 9:08pm Austin Rich: We missed you, @Ellen!
	9:08pm Ellen Lovebug: Mazel Tov~ enjoy I love ASF
	♥ 9:09pm Scott67: I,m in my just feel like watching Kaiju Movies mood today. So this is perfect Austin! 🍻😎🤙🦠🦖🦑🧠🦾🦿☠️
	9:09pm Mr Fab: Hey, Geoff-U: the Marathon prizes are starting to hit the mailboxes?
	🎸 ♥ 9:09pm Austin Rich: I got this Wipers album on Cassette in the 90's, when I lived in Eugene. (Bought at House of Records, even.) I used to skateboard around, as a disaffected youth, thinking I was so cool...
	🎸 ♥ 9:09pm Austin Rich: Ooooo.... I could go for a monster movie marathon, yeah!
	♥ 9:10pm HyperDose: Can't wait to get my premiums!
	9:10pm ramencity: They hired a linguist to invent a language for the pakus on Land of the Lost, _decades_ before James Cameron did the same thing for Titanic II.
	🎸 ♥ 9:10pm Austin Rich: @Mr. X: We should watch some OG Land of The Lost... after our Rocky & Bullwinkle marathon.
	9:10pm Ellen Lovebug: This is a really fun song :) It's so heavy and light at the same time
	🎸 ♥ 9:10pm Krys O.: My brother and I watched the show. We were sci-fi kids and we also appreciated cheepnis. My brother and his friends made were amateur filmmakers in the early 70s. I tagged along as a kid sister would. When they came over to watch TV at our apartment, it was like MST3K IRL. That's why I'm an immutable weirdo. Oh, one of the friends went on to success in Hollywood. He wrote the screenplay for Midnight Run.
	🎸 ♥ 9:11pm Austin Rich: Great to see you in the chat, @ramencity! I was introduced to the wipers by @ramencity.
	🎸 ♥ 9:11pm Austin Rich: @Krys O: that sounds like so many groups of friends I know!
	9:11pm Ellen Lovebug: ramencity, I did not know that! Krys O wow, do you still have any of your films from back then?
	9:12pm Mr. X: @AR: You're on. I have Bullwinkle on DVD.
	9:12pm xapnomapcase1: The Wipers are so great.
	🎸 ♥ 9:12pm Krys O.: Reptilicus and Gorgo were my favorites as a tiny tot. Also loved Son of Kong. Such a cutie.
	🎸 ♥ 9:12pm Austin Rich: @xapnomopcase1! Always great to see you in the chat! I wonder if Wendella is near...
	9:13pm ramencity: Codeine cures covid yeah?
	🎸 ♥ 9:13pm Austin Rich: @Mr. X: I have the first Season of R&B on DVD (found at a thrift store). But I don't have the others... Have you seen the new one from a couple years ago? It's pretty good.
	🎸 ♥ 9:14pm Krys O.: Hey, Ellen. I only watched the goings on from behind the camera. I never acted or held the camera for them. I did help my ex with music videos in the late 80s onward and then I taught myself how to edit video. I think my profile has a link to my YouTube account.
	🎸 ♥ 9:14pm Austin Rich: I think LISTENING to Codeine cures what ails ya.
	9:14pm Geoff-U: Mr. Fab yes! Got mine a couple of days ago.
	🎸 ♥ 9:14pm Austin Rich: Maybe White Birch cures Covid?
	♥ 9:15pm HyperDose: This college rock radio is sex
	🎸 ♥ 9:15pm Krys O.: I'm allergic to codeine. I get what's called the Sphincter of Oddi dysfunction. It's extremely painful, but hey, I can't get addicted to opiates.
	🎸 ♥ 9:15pm Austin Rich: Yeah. I hope anyone who is with their partner is getting it on, '90's college rock radio style.
	9:15pm ramencity: I remember Codeine used to write their set lists on 2x4s. HEAVY
	♥ 9:16pm Scott67: Okay, so had no idea Will Ferrell's Film was such a direct link to the Original. Never saw it in Australia! My new Mission for today is to find & watch it!! 🍻😎🤙🦖🌋🛸
	♥ 9:16pm HyperDose: Freeform is a much healthier addiction, Krys 😉
	🎸 ♥ 9:16pm Kat in Chicago: Sphincter of Oddi sounds extremely painful and I wonder if anyone's using it as a band name
	🎸 ♥ 9:16pm Krys O.: There's research into CBD and its ability to lessen Covid symptoms.
	🎸 ♥ 9:16pm Austin Rich: Now, let's just really wallow...
	9:16pm Geoff-U: Ooh I got to see Unwound at the big warehouse thingy in PDX that's gone by various names (I think it was B-Complex then, it later was Branx/Rotture)
	♥ 9:17pm HyperDose: I'm in heaven mister DJ
	9:17pm ramencity: I was at that show @Geoff-U
	🎸 ♥ 9:17pm Austin Rich: Unwound put on some of the best shows I've ever seen. So amazing. @ramencitykid ALSO introduced me to Unwound.
	🎸 ♥ 9:17pm Krys O.: Hi, Kat! Whenever I've mentioned the condition it either causes confusion or laughter as it sounds like I made it up, but it's real. Trust me.
	9:17pm Geoff-U: That warehouse might have even been the home of Meow Meow for a little while iirc
	🎸 ♥ 9:18pm Austin Rich: (@ramencitykid introduced me to most of the cool stuff I know about. 'zines included.)
	9:18pm Geoff-U: ramencity yay!! it was fun :)
	♥ 9:18pm Scott67: Only time I took Codeine I didn't shit for 3 days, not even the urge. Spooky feeling for a 2 a day man. 🍻😎🤙
	🎸 ♥ 9:19pm Krys O.: www.hopkinsmedicine.org...
	🎸 ♥ 9:19pm Austin Rich: The weather has been totally moody here lately, and it's been a rollercoaster of weird news and crazy, everyday stuff. I felt like it was time to just get a little sad for an evening.
	9:19pm Mr. X: I used to get Unwound and Unrest mixed up.
	🎸 ♥ 9:20pm Krys O.: Yup, Scott. Opiates cause severe constipation.
	9:20pm Mr Fab: there's GOT to be a metal band called Sphincter of Oddi.
	🎸 ♥ 9:20pm Austin Rich: Isn't that constipation bit how "Trainspotting" opens?
	🎸 ♥ 9:20pm Kat in Chicago: I'm wondering how I missed out on Unwound, this is lovely.
	9:21pm Geoff-U: Feeling gloomy in the Pacific NW? Highly unusual but I'll allow it ;)
	🎸 ♥ 9:21pm Austin Rich: There's a great progression to Unwound albums. It's like a great story, when you listen to them all in order.
	🎸 ♥ 9:21pm Austin Rich: The Numero Group did some amazing Unwound reissues.
	♥ 9:22pm postconsumer: Very relaxing set, so far. Much needed.
	9:22pm Ellen Lovebug: Ooh! I will try to check out your youtube account, Krys O! Geoff-U I remember hearing about B-Complex. @Ramencitykid we all owe you a debt of gratitude!
	9:23pm Mr Fab: I missed this stuff in the '90s. I was all about Golden Age hip-hop, into the kind of sampling electronica stuff that Jon was just playing. And that was also the decade I really started delving into jazz, blues, International musics. Just felt like there was nothing more to be done with the whole 4-white-guys-playing-electric-guitar thing.
	🎸 ♥ 9:23pm Kat in Chicago: Thank you, Austin, I'll look into the Unwound discography. Krys, that Oddi business does sound distinctly unpleasant.
	♥ 9:23pm HyperDose: Adding "have sex to New Plastic Ideas" to the bucket list
	9:23pm Ellen Lovebug: Austin are you interweaving sound clips from The Land of the Lost into these songs, or did all these bands do that themselves?
	🎸 ♥ 9:23pm Krys O.: BTW-I found out today that cartoonist Justin Green passed away recently. His legendary comic book Binky Brown Meets the Holy Virgin Mary is incredible.
	🎸 ♥ 9:24pm Kat in Chicago: That's kind of where I was in the mid-90s too, Fab.
	♥ 9:25pm Scott67: Did someone say Cold Pizza!!? I fucken have some!!! 🍻😎🤙🍕🍕🍕
	🎸 ♥ 9:25pm Kat in Chicago: I got my fill of guitar bands living in Chapel Hill for a year in the early 90s, then I fell in love and moved to NYC and things got weirder
	9:25pm Ellen Lovebug: Mr. Fab I used to edit a conscious hip-hop magazine that came with a compilation CD, issued by the YouthPeace program of War Resisters League and the Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors.
	♥ 9:26pm postconsumer: I love that Binky Brown book. :(
	🎸 ♥ 9:26pm Austin Rich: Binky Brown is pretty great, but yeah... that book sort of fills me with shame, and I'm a godless heathen.
	♥ 9:27pm postconsumer: His wife is also a great comic artist. So sad to hear.
	♥ 9:27pm Scott67: Nice Lava Lamp Photo-bomb Austin!
	🎸 ♥ 9:27pm Krys O.: I hear ya, postconsumer. It changed my life when I read it in the mid-80s. I come from a long line of neurotics AND Polish Catholics with all the guilt that entails.
	9:27pm Heather Z: Hi everyone! I'm hanging out listening!! Austin, Zap No Map Case is how you say our friend's name! Took me a bit too!
	🎸 ♥ 9:27pm Austin Rich: These samples are from an old episode of the "Escape" radio show.
	🎸 ♥ 9:28pm Krys O.: Good catch, Scott!
	9:28pm Mr Fab: Ellen Lovebug: that sounds great, i was really into that kinda thing.
	🎸 ♥ 9:28pm Austin Rich: Zap No Map Case! There we go!
	♥ 9:28pm postconsumer: I found it much more recently. Just finished reading his wife's books a few weeks ago (C. Tyler).
	🎸 ♥ 9:29pm Kat in Chicago: Nice lampspotting, Scott
	♥ 9:29pm Scott67: Photographers eye Krys! .😎🤙📷
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm Austin Rich: I finally have three lava lamps for the Lava Lamp Lounge these days. I have a base for at least one more. Just need to find the glass part.
	9:30pm Mr. X: So is Cold Pizza convenience store clerk Jose's own project?
	♥ 9:30pm Scott67: Cheers Kat! 🍻😎🤙🍕
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm Kat in Chicago: I want one of those glitter ones again, had one years ago.
	🎸 ♥ 9:31pm Austin Rich: Yes. I had Jose over for beers one day, after work. He home-recorded all his own music, just him and multi-tracks. He did a lot of electronic, weird guitar stuff, sometimes funny... sometimes just odd. He was so amazingly weird and wonderful. And then... I just have no idea where he disappeared to. "Cold Pizza" is a bit hard of a name to Google.
	♥ 9:31pm Scott67: No Lava Lamp emoji!! Sucks!!
	♥ 9:32pm postconsumer: Gotta go make supper for my kiddo. Will keep listening, in the kitchen, but have to sign out of the chat. Have a good show, Austin!
	🎸 ♥ 9:32pm Austin Rich: Thanks @postconsumer! Great show tonight, as usual!
	♥ 9:32pm Scott67: Seeya Jon! 😎🤙🍽️
	♥ 9:32pm postconsumer: Thanks :)
	🎸 ♥ 9:34pm Austin Rich: For those curious: I have at least four Cold Pizza "albums." The music ranges wildly from track to track, album to album.
	9:37pm Mr Fab: That Cold Pizza track was really nice. Too bad he can't put them up for download or sumthin somewhere.
	🎸 ♥ 9:38pm Austin Rich: I last heard from Jose just after I moved to Salem, probably 2014? Then... radio silence. He doesn't Social Media, and the e-mail I had now bounces. So... oh well. Maybe someday Jose will notice I play his stuff sometimes? He was very nice. Good taste in beer, if I remember correctly.
	♥ 9:38pm Scott67: Wow, Original Land of the Lost is so dinky, right down to the Banjo theme. Gotta watch it later! 🍻😎🤙🍕🦖🌋🪕
	9:40pm Ellen Lovebug: Mr. Fab here's an article about our publication and CD combo:www.africasgateway.com...
	9:41pm Ellen Lovebug: I love the Juice Machine folks. That they played my birthday/Fall Equinox birthday show with you and with me and Chris as Bast Awakening and with Curtis was very meaningful to me
	9:41pm Mr. X: Some of the premise of Land of the Lost seems to be similar to the premise of the original Turok, Son of Stone on Dell Comics starting in 1954.
	🎸 ♥ 9:44pm Austin Rich: I do love those Turok comics. Probably for some of the same reasons.
	9:46pm Ellen Lovebug: I will owe you forever for that party Austin, that was our cassette release party for our split of Bast Awakening and DEATH MUTATIONS, and it was my first cassette release ever!
	🎸 ♥ 9:48pm Austin Rich: I need to put that tape for sale on my Bandcamp page. I have a grip of them, but they aren't listed online anywhere.
	🎸 ♥ 9:50pm Austin Rich: Strange Coincidence, again: I got a package from Sweatband Records YESTERDAY, with a new Le Petit Sac CD release. I think you can safely say: the Sleestak's have attacked!
	9:52pm Mr Fab: As good a time as any to revisit the crown jewel of Station Manager Ken’s black velvet painting collection: blogfiles.wfmu.org...
	🎸 ♥ 9:54pm Austin Rich: That's a gem! I only have two anymore, and they're so-so. I used to have a few, but over the years, I gave them away, etc. Poor decisions as a younger person.
	🎸 ♥ 9:55pm Austin Rich: I used to work at the Velveteria, when it was in PDX. That was a fun job.
	9:56pm Mr. X: As long as at least one of them is of Elvis, you're good.
	9:56pm Mr Fab: I would have PAID to work there! They moved down to LA, but closed, like so many other places over the psat couple years.
	🎸 ♥ 9:57pm Austin Rich: See, I have no Elvises. Or and smoking grandmothers. Yeah, I should contact them. They were so nice.
	9:57pm Mr. X: That just ain't right.
	🎸 ♥ 9:58pm Austin Rich: I need to locate some more velvets. But I've been playing it close to the house the last couple years... some reason or another...
	9:59pm ramencity: I have a velvet painting of space unicorns frolicking
	🎸 ♥ 10:00pm Austin Rich: I think this "Black Artiodactyls" was part of a mail-only, music exchange group I was a part of in 2019, where we all picked a month and sent out music that we made to everyone in the group. I don't know if you could get this CD other places, but at least at first, it was only for the group. Since then, it's probably for sale somewhere.
	🎸 ♥ 10:00pm Austin Rich: Space Unicorns are the best kind!
	10:03pm Ellen Lovebug: I would love that, Austin! I remember seeing/meeting Le Petit Sac at Funagain.
	10:05pm xapnomapcase1: You could just use my name.
	10:05pm Ellen Lovebug: Woohoo live!
	♥ 10:06pm HyperDose: yayy mini-mutation!!! 😍
	🎸 ♥ 10:08pm Austin Rich: This is when I admit that it is not LIVE at this moment, but a recording of me performing live in the studio, at the end of 2019. It wasn't widely heard then, so it felt right to re-broadcast it. It's pretty hard to do live on Sheena, while running the gear, and staying in the chat. I've tried it a couple times, and I'll try it again. But recording a live performance is a lot easier than playing live AND doing all the other stuff.
	10:08pm ramencity: this music is pre-covid
	♥ 10:09pm HyperDose: Was part of the recent lava lounge rearrange to optimize workflow?
	🎸 ♥ 10:09pm Austin Rich: It is. I was sort of gearing up for the Winter tour that I was doing in December, and then I was gonna do the Negativland shows in March... but Covid canceled half of those shows.
	🎸 ♥ 10:10pm Austin Rich: @HyperDose: Yeah. I'm trying to get a good arrangement so I can do radio, record music, and then switch to other stuff easily. It's not ideal yet... but getting there.
	🎸 ♥ 10:12pm Austin Rich: For this performance: I was using two CDJs, loaded with a thumbdrive full of mp3s. A Microgranny. A Kaospad. An iPad full of samples. A computer full of samples. A delay pedal, and a mixer. Plus a bunch of cables and stuff.
	🎸 ♥ 10:13pm Austin Rich: Oh: and a cassette deck. This was before I had the gear made by Mothhuntermods, so I wasn't mangled the tape, just playing samples.
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm Austin Rich: wasn't mangling the tape...
	🎸 ♥ 10:16pm Austin Rich: This is much more like the version of Mid-Valley Mutations that I started doing when I moved to Salem. Hour 1 was usually music (with some samples) as I would get the gear set up, and then Hour 2 was usually a live performance, either by a guest, myself, or a guest and myself. That has been the dominate form of show since then... but of course, I shake things up all the time, as people probably know.
	♥ 10:18pm HyperDose: @Austin Have you thought about looking into a big desk? I got this one last year and it's wayyy better than working from a coffee table and couch! www.musiciansfriend.com...
	10:18pm Ellen Lovebug: This is lovely and relaxing and intriguing. I'm digging it.
	♥ 10:20pm Scott67: a dark misting rain has rolled in here. Perfect brooding soundtrack for it Austin!
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm Austin Rich: Oh, yeah. In the lounge now I have a huge desk (that is motorized, so I can go from standing to sitting, or back again.) And, next to that, I have two tables: one at standing height, with a bunch of gear, and one a desk height, with some other gear. It's better than the couch / coffee table set-up, I would occasionally do.
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm Austin Rich: That table you linked to looks nice!
	♥ 10:23pm HyperDose: I had the smaller version before, this one is much more durable with the wrap around cage. Tons of outboard racks so it will be great as I acquire more gear. Side note: This mini-mutation is so powerful, I cracked open a beer
	🎸 ♥ 10:23pm Austin Rich: I recommend a little something with this one.
	🎸 ♥ 10:25pm Austin Rich: The current problem I'm having: I hate all desk chairs I have found. They are all TERRIBLE, and I am constantly looking for a new desk chair. But I haven't found one yet.
	🎸 ♥ 10:25pm Austin Rich: Standing is better for performing / DJing, anyway.
	🎸 ♥ 10:26pm Austin Rich: But you can't always stand for two hours. I have one of those pads they put down in kitchens, to stand on when I use to play shows. But I only use it in the studio now, when I'm recording.
	♥ 10:27pm HyperDose: I can help, Austin!!!
	🎸 ♥ 10:28pm Austin Rich: You got a chair connection?
	10:29pm Ellen Lovebug: Something very scary just happened. Doing research for the book I was editing, I copied and pasted a link for a page about foxes, and suddenly, my computer froze, then shut off completely
	🎸 ♥ 10:30pm Austin Rich: I'm sorry, Ellen. Did everything come back after you turned it back on?
	10:33pm Ellen Lovebug: It just happened. I'm not sure yet. I have to see if I have to redo all the editing I was doing in MS Word
	🎸 ♥ 10:33pm Austin Rich: Good Luck, Ellen. Stuff like that is frustrating.
	♥ 10:35pm HyperDose: Over the past year I went through two AWFUL Amazon chairs that actually started causing back issues. If you look at Amazon there are no recognizable brand names. I like the executive style chairs because the mesh ergonomic ones are not cat friendly or durable. Problem with executive chairs being the shape is just soft foam that offers no support, the tilt mechanism is supported by a flimsy bar that lets your weight shift, and the piston is pneumatic which are trash. Decided to give one of those silly car seat GaMiNg ChAiRs a shot since they stress ergonomic comfort. Razer just released a more affordable version of their flagship chair with all the features of a SecretLab (top of the line). It's the best chair I've ever sat on. All tilt angles have separate levers and mechanisms, and it has a class 4 hydraulic piston. Forces proper alignment while being comfortable enough to spend all day in. Usually $400 but you can get it for a $50 off introductory price: www.bestbuy.com...
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm Austin Rich: Hmmmmmmm. I will have to try that out, HyperDose. Thanks for the tip!
	10:39pm Mr. X: Never mind the space ship! Let's ride the space unicorns out of here instead!
	🎸 ♥ 10:40pm Austin Rich: Good Idea, Mr. X. They'll get us out to somewhere fun, for sure.
	♥ 10:41pm Scott67: 🛸🦄🌈☄️
	🎸 ♥ 10:41pm Austin Rich: I'm probably as skeptical of gaming chairs as you were, @HyperDose, but that's a genuine recommendation that I can't turn my nose up at. I mean, those gamers sit in those chairs all day long... I should consider it, for sure.
	♥ 10:46pm HyperDose: The included memory foam neck pillow was a big selling point for me. I also like how it's not too racer car-ish. Very premium stitching
	10:46pm Mr. X: When they have gaming chairs with a built in toilet and micro-fridge, you know we'll be one step closer to being floating brains.
	10:47pm Ellen Lovebug: That was very meditative
	♥ 10:47pm HyperDose: If I moved the UPS I could totally fit a mini-fridge under the desk. Hmm tempting...
	10:49pm Ellen Lovebug: I love the idea of Mutation Fest. I used to work the Med Tent at Autonomous Mutant Fest, thanks for that inadvertent memory
	10:50pm Ellen Lovebug: I could definitely try to prompt Chris to come up with something for me or pull up some lyrics from the past
	10:52pm Mr Fab: nice background sounds as I was going thru the horrors of my record/CD/tape back room. I need an intern to come over and organize. Will give you college credit!
	10:52pm ramencity: return of cark?! wut
	🎸 ♥ 10:55pm Austin Rich: Yep. Cark is back, @ramencitykid.
	10:55pm Ellen Lovebug: At the Eugene Major Hex show at John Henry's, Tethys is also playing, with whom I did a set as you recall at our Salem show, Austin. And Ariana with whom I performed as Dryad Drone is DJing a set. I'm going to pay to go but then listen from outside
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm WR: Thank you Austin!
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm Austin Rich: @Mr.Fab: If I lived closer, I would take you up on that! I love organizing music!
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm Austin Rich: Thanks WR!
	10:56pm Mr Fab: ha, this is cool. Is it available anywhere?
	♥ 10:57pm Scott67: Thanks Austin! Fantastic Journey mate! 🍻😎🤙🦖🌋☄️🌈🦄🧠
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm Austin Rich: Yeah, that Major Hex show in Eugene on my ACTUAL BIRTHDAY might be an essential show for this season.
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm Austin Rich: majorhex.bandcamp.com...
	10:57pm Ellen Lovebug: OOOH!. I'd love to see you. It's also Beltaine
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm Austin Rich: Major Hex is actually a Salem band. Rare in this town!
	10:57pm Ellen Lovebug: And Happy Birthday, I love you!
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: This kind of music is so not cool in Salem. But these guys are pretty dope!
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: Thanks Ellen! You are always amazing!
	10:59pm ramencity: Austin is the beltane fire
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm Austin Rich: Wrapping up here. Thanks everyone! You are all amazing!
	10:59pm Mr Fab: thanks Austin, super cool stuff!
	10:59pm Mr. X: Thanks for another great show, Austin.
	♥ 11:00pm HyperDose: Thank you, Austin!
	🎸 ♥ 11:00pm Austin Rich: Thanks Mr. Fab & Mr. X! You two are the best. Thanks HyperDose! You are excellent, too.
	11:01pm Ellen Lovebug: You, too~ hopefully see you Saturday
