Music behind DJ: Frank Sinatra (At various speeds)	Summer Wind	Strangers In The Night	Universal Music Group	1966	"Just as “My Way” had its musical origins in France, with English lyrics written by Paul Anka, “Summer Wind” originated in Europe as well, as a German tune called “Der Sommerwind.” Its English lyrics were penned by Johnny Mercer and Sinatra’s original version first appeared on his 1966 LP, Strangers in the Night. With that chart-topping hit and “Summer Wind” reaching the Top 30, Sinatra earned his first Number One pop album in six years."		0:00:26 (Pop-up)
Babs Set 1 POST PUNK GOODIES "Babs Set 1 POST PUNK GOODIES"
Philosophic Collage	Toxic Poppies	Genius 7"	American Aesthetic Industries	1981	The Philosophic Collage knew they were going to be overlooked and that is why they wrote Planned Obsolescence. The whole thing reeks of nihilistic art-students inspired by no-wave, amok in a recording studio at 3 AM. What is not to like about that. According to the original St. Louis punk crowd, the Philosophic Collage and band leader Craig Kurtz (aka Timothy Tyme) were mildly difficult, if not completely off-putting. Their brand of abrasive music and Craig's "genius" schtick was too hard to take. When the band released this EP in 1981, most were confused by the four blasts of Art Punk/Midwestern No Wave, uh...if there really is such a thing as No Wave in the Midwest. It did impress Rough Trade enough to pick it up for distribution, even if the local response was less than enthusiastic. The band only managed to play a handful of area gigs before nobody wanted to book them. They were far more successful in Chicago. Playing larger gigs to more receptive audiences and even signing on with a manager. Two cassettes were released after the EP, but it was all over by 1982 when Craig split the band up after an attempt to relocate to Chicago had failed.		0:05:51 (Pop-up)
Q4U	Böring "Böring" by "Q4U"	Q1	Gramm	1982	Q4U was born the winter of 1980-1981 in Reykjavík, inspired by the British punk movement. It’s original members were Elínborg Halldórsdóttir (Ellý) (vocals), Berglind Garðarsdóttir (Linda) (vocals), Steinþór Stefánsson (guitar), Gunnþór Sigurðsson (bass), Helgi (drums) and Már (synthesizer). Helgi and Már soon left the band and Helgi was replaced by Kormákur Geirharðsson (Kommi) on the drums. By early 1982 they self-released a full length cassette, “Skaf Í Dag” and appeared in the documentary “Rokk í Reykjavík,” which showcased the Icelandic punk scene. This version of the band ended and only two members continued on. In the summer of 1982 Ellý and Gunnþór recruited Óðinn Guðbrandsson (guitar) and Árni Daníel (synthesizer) from the band Taugadeildin. Their drummer was replaced by a Roland TR-808 drum machine they named “Elísabet II”. signaling a change in the group’s sound toward synthesizer-driven post punk. In August 1983 Q4U reinstated Kormákur to record a final set of demos and then called it quits. Q4U began with a stylish, aggressive punk image before experimenting with drum machines and synthesizers, which almost nobody did in Reykjavík at the time. The later sound had gothic leanings,often compared with Siouxsie and the Banshees and Xmal Deutschland. Their body of work is united by the powerful vocals of Ellý, who mostly sings in Icelandic about controversial, political experiences, much like Ari Up of The Slits.		0:06:48 (Pop-up)

Also in 1981, billed as Bomberettes, they provided backing vocals on the track "Fighter Pilot" on John Cale's album Honi Soit. The band had a minor hit with "Paint It Black", just missing the Top 40.

The Fall	Can Can Summer "Can Can Summer" by "The Fall"	Imperial Wax Solvent (Expanded Version)	Cherry Red Records	2008 / 2020	Last summer I played "Get A Summer Song Goin'" by The Fall... One of their lesser known (vinyl only) & harder to find classics. I almost chose to play it again, since summer started here in Canada yesterday; but decided to play a song we haven't played before. This is the first album that the last (and longest serving) lineup of the Fall made. After Mark E. Smith passed, he encouraged them to keep playing & they chosen their moniker from this album's title: Imperial Wax Solvent.		0:33:19 (Pop-up)

JAWNY said of the collaboration, "I think it’s no secret that Beck has been a giant influence on me. Getting to work with him on this record was nothing short of a full circle moment. Having him on the song and being able to play it live together was more than I could have ever imagined." He added, "I was always looking at the track as a square and then Beck kind of rotated it. Everything he added, I loved. It felt more alive. I’m super stoked for people to hear it."" As for JAWNY, "Jacob Lee-Nicholas Sullenger (born December 23, 1995), known professionally by his stage name Jawny (stylized as JAWNY; formerly Johnny Utah), is an American singer, songwriter, and producer.

Maggie The Cat	Cry Baby "Cry Baby" by "Maggie The Cat"	Cry Baby Single	Trashmouth Records	2022	Cry Baby is the oily black tongue of Disco Noir. A Disco dystopia throbbing in a once opulent basement nightclub, while you listen submerged in a jacuzzi filled with black tequila, wearing rubber speedos stuffed with quaaludes. The ghost of a washed up Broadway starlet chugs languidly on a cigar and massages your dirty feet. There is no clock, no telephone and the darkly sparkling sequin clad walls are eerily padded. You discover that you are savagely aroused by the taste of salt in your own ecstatic tears..... Produced by Liam D May & Mixed By Liam D May & Luke E May at Trashmouth Studios	*	1:07:39 (Pop-up)
Desire	Don't Call "Don't Call" by "Desire"	Desire	Italians Do It Better	2009	Desire’s self-titled debut is a smouldering ache — saturnine synthesized pop about heartbreak & infinite longing, late nights by the telephone & break-up letters smeared by tears. Do you think this feeling can last forever? Beautiful girls & beautiful boys borrow cars and hit the road. Johnny Jewel discovered singer Megan Louise performing at a club in Montreal. So transfixed was he by her voice that he elected to mirror his Portland Suite 304 studio and create a second recording room in Quebec.		1:10:51 (Pop-up)

The Clean	In Love With These Times	Yeti Six (V/A)	Yeti Publishing	2008	Mike McGonical's Yeti book+CD series (13 in all) was wonderful for the 15 years or so it spanned at the turn of the decade. I revisit it often & buy them if I chance to see copies I don't have. This is a (presumably) rare song by New Zealand band The Clean. It came to Yeti from the band's recording engineer Tex Houston; from a multitrack recording at a club called The Studio in Auckland on March 17, 2007. "This tune - one of the earliest the band ever wrote - was inspired by the Modern Lovers' "I'm in Love with the Modern World"; Hamish Kilgour adds: "It's a song about the scariness of the modern world."		1:22:59 (Pop-up)
Tall Dwarfs	Nothing's Going to Happen	Hello Cruel World	Flying Nun Records	1981 / 1987	Tall Dwarfs are duo Chris Knox and Alec Bathgate from New Zealand. The duo were former members of Toy Love.

Times New Viking	Anything Could Happen	Yeti Six (V/A)	Yeti Publishing	2008	From the same issue of the Yeti book+CD series; this is a cover of a song by The Clean, this time performed by Columbus, Ohio's Times New Viking. Aware of the fact that they played the song live, Yeti asked them to record a cover version, which they did. It was recorded in early August, 2008. In their words: "on a hot summer day in Columbus, Ohio on a boombox by Times New Viking. Rich Horseshit played drums as well, but you can't hear him. We learned this song on the road, and actually got to witness the Clean play it. Monumental night - the Clean beat us in competition."		1:29:13 (Pop-up)

[this album] is a celebration of Chris & his music... [who] ...donated their time & talent so that all proceeds can go toward assisting Chris with his recovery." Jay Reatard recorded this song in the bathroom of a hotel in Denmark, Sweden on a 4-track. Apparently he had planned to work w/ Chris Knox one day. Unfortunately, Jay Reatard passed too early, and Chris Knox appears live or records since his stroke. On this compilation, Chris Knox does add wordless vocals to a couple of tracks. This song is a cover of Knox's first band Toy Love, from their "Toy Love" album.		1:34:53 (Pop-up)

The Clash with Ranking Roger	Red Angel Dragnet	The Clash & Ranking Roger	Sony Music	2022	Two-tone was a pivotal movement during the late 70s and 80s in the UK. A fusion of Ska and punk attitudes the scene grew beyond a music genre and looked to encapsulate a generation who had grown tired of division. A similar act who championed this unity was The Clash, who by 1981 was a global sensation, and so the latter invited The Beat to join them on tour. One stop on this tour was Theatre Mogador, Paris which saw The Clash hold a residency and The Beat support them on stage. On most of the Roger would find himself on stage singing with the band covering Willie Williams’ ‘Armagideon Time’. But on 26th September, Ranking got up and belted out a new tune covering Murvin’s ‘Police & Thieves’ which featured on their debut self-titled LP. This previously unreleased collab was pressed to 7" and released alongside the new Clash Combat Rock expanded anniversary release.		1:44:38 (Pop-up)

Dennis Brown	Cassandra "Cassandra" by "Dennis Brown"	Cassandra/Fire From The Observer 7"	Observer	1974	During his prolific career, which began in the late 1960s when he was aged eleven, he recorded more than 75 albums and was one of the major stars of lovers rock, a subgenre of reggae. Bob Marley cited Brown as his favourite singer, dubbing him "The Crown Prince of Reggae", and Brown would prove influential on future generations of reggae singers. Brown's first professional appearance came at the age of eleven, when he visited "Tit for Tat" a local West Kingston Nightclub where his brother Basil was performing a comedy routine, and where he made a guest appearance with the club's resident group, the Fabulous Falcons (a group that included Cynthia Richards, David "Scotty" Scott, and Noel Brown). On the strength of this performance he was asked to join the group as a featured vocalist. When the group performed at a JLP conference at the National Arena, Brown sang two songs – Desmond Dekker's "Unity" and Johnnie Taylor's "Ain't That Loving You" – and after the audience showered the stage with money, he was able to buy his first suit with the proceeds. Bandleader Byron Lee performed on the same bill, and was sufficiently impressed with Brown to book him to perform on package shows featuring visiting US artists, where he was billed as the "Boy Wonder".		1:51:49 (Pop-up)

The Flirtations	Nothing But A Heartache	Nothing But A Heartache/How Can You Tell Me? 7"	Deram	1969	Originally named the Gypsies, the Flirtations are favourites of Soulies. In late 1968 the trio signed with Deram Records and released what would become their signature recording, "Nothing But A Heartache" — a dense, dynamic, earth-shattering melodrama produced by Englishman Wayne Bickerton and written by Bickerton with Tony Waddington. The B-side was a Christmas song, "Christmastime Is Here Again". "Nothing But a Heartache" rose to first place on the "Bubbling Under" list in December 1968 and gave the Flirtations a second Top 40 hit in the Netherlands, reaching No. 36 in early 1969. This tune is indeed, a Chune of the highest order.		2:01:57 (Pop-up)

	8:42pm Tyler: @Aitch cool! Where is that?
	8:42pm DJ Babs: ohhh Aitch that sounds AWESOME! We loved seeing Gorillaz last time they were through, Ill never miss their shows!!!

	8:47pm Alli B: 20,000?! Holyyyyy
	8:47pm Tyler: When Gorillaz first came out they were very HYPED, songs appearing in commercials, etc., and the animation video albums made me think (incorrectly) that they were going to be another gimmicky act like Prozaak, etc. I was wrong and have come to appreciate the music and what they've been able to accomplish. I was actually talking about this with my brother on the weekend in reference to R.E.M.'s 'Radio Song' or how to do a hiphop mash-up wrong...
	8:47pm DJ Babs: woooooow. Oh yeah, I feel like Damon does his best work with them....
	8:48pm DJ Babs: I'm also seriously loving this vibe. Melodica makes it happen.
	8:48pm ultradamno: I like their cartoons
	8:51pm Tyler: I absolutely LOVE the Mali Music album Damon did in 2002 with local Malinese musicians. Lots of melodica on that.
	8:51pm DJ Babs: agreed!!!
	8:52pm Tyler: It was also nice to see Peter Murphy pull out the melodica for 'She's In Parties' in recent Bauhaus concert footage.
	8:58pm Derek Westerholm: Bauhaus covered "Sister Midnight" by Iggy Pop in Italy! Wasn't expecting to find that on the internet in 2022...
	8:59pm Alli B: Yesssss
	8:59pm Tyler: Wow, Derek! I'll have to look that up. PM previously covered Iggy's 'Funtime'.
	8:59pm Tyler: HAPPY PRIDE!
	9:00pm DJ Babs: Happy Pride everyone!!!!
	9:01pm ultradamno: Speaking of pride, God Is My Co-Pilot has been putting up tracks on BC godismycopilot.bandcamp.com Their response to Henry Rollins' "no one cares who you sleep with..." comment from the Straight Not liner notes: twitter.com...
	9:01pm Alli B: 🌈❤️🌈🧡🌈💛🌈💚🌈💙
	9:02pm DJ Babs: This tune is such a not so guilty pleasure!
	9:02pm DJ Babs: Gotta love those side chained distorted synth bass era 2007
	9:03pm DJ Babs: again I have ugly cried to this many times, lol. on dancefloors too.
	9:03pm Tyler: This a lot of fun. No guilt.
	9:04pm DJ Babs: EVERYONE HAS TO LOVE ROBYN
	9:04pm Alli B: I LOVE ROBYN
	9:04pm DJ Babs: ROBYN IS LIFE
	9:04pm Tyler: Robyn is great. I only found out recently that she & Neneh Cherry are a couple. Love them both.
	9:05pm Aitch: This Royksopp album a family fave, love Robyn too
	9:06pm DJ Babs: oh yes. This Royksopp album is just epic!!!!!
	9:06pm Aitch: They're really good
	9:06pm Derek Westerholm: Yes, happy Pride to one and all!
	9:08pm DJ Babs: I love the Miss Kitten vibes Glume is sharing here.
	9:10pm DJ Babs: Yes Tyler! Robyn + Neneh = the best power couple ever
	9:11pm Tyler: This Maggie The Cat has a Madonna feel to it.
	9:11pm Derek Westerholm: Ultradamno, excellent scan & tweet. I enjoy God Is My Co-Pilot very much (and find HR insufferable), so I know who I am more inclined to gravitate to when it comes to lived experience & appropriate commentary.
	9:11pm Tyler: @Babs - Yes, they make perfect sense together!
	🏝 9:13pm Kat in Chicago: Greetings! Glad I wore my dancing shoes!
	9:14pm DJ Babs: Tyler I thought EXACTLY the same thing when I heard that Maggie The Cat!!! So Madge! And hello Kat! Welcome and lovely to see you!!
	9:14pm Tyler: Cooler than Madge, but some of the same qualities.
	9:15pm Zipperhead7: Really enjoying the mix, Babs!
	9:15pm DJ Babs: We played some stuff from Trashmouth a few weeks ago and they are now sending us new previews and music..which is how we got the Maggie the Cat! Glad you are enjoying Zipperhead....we like taking all kinds of musical journeys here!
	9:18pm Alli B: Criscotheque was so so so fun!
	🏝 9:22pm Scott67: Sounds like a quiet night in at my place! 🍻😎🤙👣💊💊🩲
	9:23pm Tyler: FLYING NUN RULES!
	9:23pm DJ Babs: Alli if you knew Criscotheque, you knew! LOL
	9:23pm ultradamno: Bats still chugging along, strong as ever
	9:25pm DJ Babs: I love all the wonderful twists and turns of this show lol
	9:25pm Derek Westerholm: That's awesome that the Bats are still going strong, love it!
	9:27pm ultradamno: thebats.bandcamp.com
	9:27pm Tyler: ELF Power did a pretty amazing cover of this song.
	9:28pm ultradamno: Also a big fan of this, I guess side project flyingnun.bandcamp.com... Also dadamah.bandcamp.com
	9:29pm Derek Westerholm: Ultra, that's a pretty impressive discography
	9:29pm Tyler: I have a Tall Dwarfs CD in which they had fans send instrumental tapes and the Tall Dwarfs turned them into finished songs. It's surprisingly, consistently good & interesting.
	9:30pm Derek Westerholm: Tyler, I remember ELF Power... Will have to look that up
	9:30pm Derek Westerholm: Yes, I think that fan-collaboration album was called "International Tall Dwarfs"... It's a great album, very consistent!
	9:31pm Tyler: Yes, ELF Power put out an all covers album of people that inspired them, Gary Numan, Husker Du, Tall Dwarfs etc.
	9:32pm DJ Babs: ha! I did not know that!
	🏝 9:32pm Kat in Chicago: This is about as lo-fi as lo-fi gets :)
	9:32pm Tyler: @Derek - that's right. Terrible album artwork but a fun, eccentric and consistently listenable album :)
	9:33pm Tyler: Love the throbby rehearsal tape cassette sound!
	9:33pm Derek Westerholm: Kat, I know, right? Recorded on a boom box!
	9:34pm ultradamno: The Residents "I Am A Resident" was kind of like that, they had fans submit their version of Residents song and then messed with them..
	9:35pm DJ Babs: Definitely loving the lo fi ness of this particular set!
	9:37pm Tyler: @ultradamno - Love The Residents. Have seen them live 3 times. The Cube E tour back in the 90's is one of my all-time favourite concerts. Some of their fan FB groups leave a little to be desired though...
	9:37pm Derek Westerholm: This one recorded " in the bathroom of a hotel in Denmark, Sweden on a 4-track."
	9:38pm DJ Babs: eeeeeeee I could see that. I do love the Residents as well! what's that line from the Sloan song? It's not the band it's the fans I hate? LOL
	9:38pm Tyler: @Derek sounds good - tile reverb - HA!
	9:39pm Tyler: @Babs I don't understand these fan sites where you all love the same group but everyone argues over trivia :(
	🏝 9:39pm Kat in Chicago: That did make me wish the Jay Reatard/Chris Knox collab had happened
	9:41pm ultradamno: There was a pretty good Residents podcast called Title In Limbo that was based on the idea of a couple of superfans reviewed records with a couple of neophytes...seems to have died with the pandemic though, got as far as Not Available/Duck Stab twitter.com...
	9:45pm ultradamno: I had been wondering if MES' "radio off" was Modern Lovers inspired
	9:46pm Derek Westerholm: Ultra, haha... Quite possibly!
	9:46pm Tyler: @ultradamno though I've listened to The Residents for most of my life, I must admit I am not familiar with everything they've released - far too prolific and they had their ups and downs.
	9:47pm Alli B: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
	9:48pm DJ Babs: I know right I absolutely had to have this 7" you know I'm playing it at Juicebox on Saturday!!!
	🏝 9:48pm Kat in Chicago: This is great!
	9:48pm Tyler: Wow - was unaware of this collab! Sounds great!
	9:48pm Tyler: RIP Roger & Joe :(
	🏝 9:49pm Scott67: Thanks Babs & Derek! Enjoy some Summer for me guys. Heading over to see Mum & Dad now. 🍻😎🤙🌏🍁❤️❤️🌞
	9:49pm DJ Babs: Yes, when the Beat toured with the Clash roger would often sit in and I guess this was recorded and never had a proper release!
	9:49pm Derek Westerholm: I have barely scratched the surface of The Residents legacy & canon. Does anyone know who they are yet? I love the way they present their cryptic and mysterious world!
	9:50pm Tyler: @Scott67 have a good one. You can tell Mum & Dad we, your bad friends, kept you :)
	9:50pm Derek Westerholm: Scott, have a lovely time w/ your fam!
	9:52pm Alli B: This set is killing meeeee 💥🔥
	9:52pm Tyler: @Derek the 2 main long-standing members have been revealed to be Homer Flynn & Hardy Fox. They have collaborated with a myriad of people including Fred Frith & Andy Partridge.
	9:52pm Aitch: Not hard to find out all about it now Derek. When Hardy Fox, a premier resident died they dropped lot of the subterfuge. Knowing who they are/were didn't matter because you wouldn't have known them anyway
	9:53pm ultradamno: Homer Flynn, who died not long ago, is certainly known johanssonprojects.com... And Randy Rose was the singer twitter.com...
	9:53pm DJ Babs: honestly I could have spent HOURS going through this guys' 45s!!!
	🏝 9:53pm Scott67: ✌️😎🤙🌏❤️🖤🤎💜💙💚💛🧡🌈
	9:54pm Tyler: Most of the collaborators went uncredited due to usual legal, label complications. I personally enjoyed the anonymity and did not go out of my way to try to find out who they were until as ultradamno mentioned when Hardy & Homer died,
	9:54pm Alli B: dancinggggg
	9:54pm ultradamno: Randy has been pretty funny railing about the current Residents' foray into NFTs, of which he DOES NOT approve
	9:55pm Tyler: For those interested in Toronto reggae - Johnny Osbourne is playing soon. He's pretty great and appeared on the Summer Records comp that cam out a few years ago.
	9:56pm Tyler: @ultradamno - yeah, Residents merch is giving DEVO a run for their money in terms of quantity.
	9:56pm Alli B: He already played, Tyler. It was only 100 tickets and I missed out! LEGEND 💚
	9:56pm Zipperhead7: Anudda fine show, folks --always fun and interesting to hang out at the Beach!
	9:56pm Derek Westerholm: Tyler/Aitch/Ultra, thanks for the Residents fact-checking & info-sharing. I'm sure I could have asked the internet, but I love hearing it here from all of you first! You're my favourite founts of knowledge!
	9:56pm Tyler: @Alli - AW, CRAP! I wanted to see that! Hopefully, he will play again soon...
	9:57pm Tyler: @Derek a frequent Residents collaborator was Snakefinger who also has a lot of great solo records. I recommend.
	9:57pm ultradamno: I still have a santa dog sponge and keychain with actual resident hair (yellow yarn)
	🏝 9:58pm Kat in Chicago: I really liked "Hold Me Tight" when I was a kid.
	9:58pm Derek Westerholm: Was sad to have missed Horace Andy, playing here for free at Woodbine Park last weekend. Wish I could be everywhere at once.
	9:58pm Alli B: @tyler I hope so! I was so sad! He played on We Tuesday at Bsmt. Britt and Jesse sent down some weed for him! 💚 They live right above.
	9:58pm Tyler: @ultradamno I bought the gatefold 'Santa Dog' 7' reissue at one of their shows.
	9:58pm ultradamno: I saw Snakefinger with Vestal Virgins on the package tour with Rhythm & Noise and Eugene Chadbourne, good time.
	9:59pm Alli B: Derek, what a super power that would be! Want!
	9:59pm Tyler: @ultradamno - Wow! That must have been quite a show!
	10:00pm ultradamno: Poster from it twitter.com... (this one's clean but the show was at Hoosier Ballroom in Indpls)
	10:00pm Tyler: @Derek I also wanted to see Horace Andy but had to go see my parents for father's day.
	10:01pm Alli B: I luhhhhhhhhhh this tune
	10:01pm Zipperhead7: Horace Andy's "Money Money" is a fave track
	10:01pm Tyler: Love the album cover for Super Ape
	10:02pm Derek Westerholm: I remember Snakefinger was played often on CBC's Brave New Waves and Nightlines, etc. (+ University/College radio.) For some reason, the Residents/Snakefinger + associated world has escaped my devoted attention and appreciation, but I'm sure I'll get there...
	🏝 10:03pm WR: Nice closing set of classic reggae and ska. Another great episode! Thank you, I've heard some recent recordings by Horace Andy, he's still plenty good. He and Burning Spear have persevered.
	10:03pm Tyler: @Derek City Limits introduced me to them when they had a whole episode with The Residents in studio.
	10:04pm ultradamno: Going for the Buy Or Die singles got me hooked from a young age
	10:04pm Alli B: Thank you so much for another great evening of wonderful music!
	10:04pm Tyler: Thanks Derek & Babs for another fantastic installment. Congratulations on your first post-apocalyptic live show last nigt!
	10:04pm Mr Fab: Derek, you might as well start with “Duck Stab/Buster and Glen” , The Residents most popular, most weird New Wave/post-punk album, with their classic “Constantinople,” which you may know already.
	🏝 10:04pm Kat in Chicago: Thanks Babs & Derek!
	10:04pm DJ Babs: aww thanks buddies! I hope you enjoyed this wonderful and eclectic episode!!!
	10:05pm Tyler: Thanks to the Beachers in the chat for stimulating conversation & context. See you next time!
	10:05pm Derek Westerholm: Mr. Fab... It's in my collection! Must revisit soon!
	10:06pm DJ Babs: we will see you all next week!!! Thank you so much everyone!!!! Beachers are da beeeeeeeest!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
	10:06pm Derek Westerholm: Thank you all for all your absolute stellar company! Always! You're the best! Truly! No matter how Thursday starts, it always ends so much happier after being here with you all!

Music behind DJ: Frank Sinatra (At various speeds)	Summer Wind	Strangers In The Night	Universal Music Group	1966	"Just as “My Way” had its musical origins in France, with English lyrics written by Paul Anka, “Summer Wind” originated in Europe as well, as a German tune called “Der Sommerwind.” Its English lyrics were penned by Johnny Mercer and Sinatra’s original version first appeared on his 1966 LP, Strangers in the Night. With that chart-topping hit and “Summer Wind” reaching the Top 30, Sinatra earned his first Number One pop album in six years."		0:00:26 (Pop-up)
Babs Set 1 POST PUNK GOODIES "Babs Set 1 POST PUNK GOODIES"
Philosophic Collage	Toxic Poppies	Genius 7"	American Aesthetic Industries	1981	The Philosophic Collage knew they were going to be overlooked and that is why they wrote Planned Obsolescence. The whole thing reeks of nihilistic art-students inspired by no-wave, amok in a recording studio at 3 AM. What is not to like about that. According to the original St. Louis punk crowd, the Philosophic Collage and band leader Craig Kurtz (aka Timothy Tyme) were mildly difficult, if not completely off-putting. Their brand of abrasive music and Craig's "genius" schtick was too hard to take. When the band released this EP in 1981, most were confused by the four blasts of Art Punk/Midwestern No Wave, uh...if there really is such a thing as No Wave in the Midwest. It did impress Rough Trade enough to pick it up for distribution, even if the local response was less than enthusiastic. The band only managed to play a handful of area gigs before nobody wanted to book them. They were far more successful in Chicago. Playing larger gigs to more receptive audiences and even signing on with a manager. Two cassettes were released after the EP, but it was all over by 1982 when Craig split the band up after an attempt to relocate to Chicago had failed.		0:05:51 (Pop-up)
Q4U	Böring "Böring" by "Q4U"	Q1	Gramm	1982	Q4U was born the winter of 1980-1981 in Reykjavík, inspired by the British punk movement. It’s original members were Elínborg Halldórsdóttir (Ellý) (vocals), Berglind Garðarsdóttir (Linda) (vocals), Steinþór Stefánsson (guitar), Gunnþór Sigurðsson (bass), Helgi (drums) and Már (synthesizer). Helgi and Már soon left the band and Helgi was replaced by Kormákur Geirharðsson (Kommi) on the drums. By early 1982 they self-released a full length cassette, “Skaf Í Dag” and appeared in the documentary “Rokk í Reykjavík,” which showcased the Icelandic punk scene. This version of the band ended and only two members continued on. In the summer of 1982 Ellý and Gunnþór recruited Óðinn Guðbrandsson (guitar) and Árni Daníel (synthesizer) from the band Taugadeildin. Their drummer was replaced by a Roland TR-808 drum machine they named “Elísabet II”. signaling a change in the group’s sound toward synthesizer-driven post punk. In August 1983 Q4U reinstated Kormákur to record a final set of demos and then called it quits. Q4U began with a stylish, aggressive punk image before experimenting with drum machines and synthesizers, which almost nobody did in Reykjavík at the time. The later sound had gothic leanings,often compared with Siouxsie and the Banshees and Xmal Deutschland. Their body of work is united by the powerful vocals of Ellý, who mostly sings in Icelandic about controversial, political experiences, much like Ari Up of The Slits.		0:06:48 (Pop-up)
Exkurs	Natur "Natur" by "Exkurs"	Fakten Sind Terror	konkurrenz schallplatten	1982	Exkurs is a band that produces music since 1979 until today.

Edith Nylon	Waldorf "Waldorf" by "Edith Nylon"	Femmes Sous Cellophane	Sony Music	1979	Edith Nylon were a French rock band, active from the late 1970s through the early 1980s. Having emerged during the Punk era, they were a precursor to New Wave bands like Les Rita Mitsouko. They achieved considerable fame in France, going on to support English rock trio The Police at their peak.		0:12:49 (Pop-up)
Mo-Dettes	Masochistic Opposite "Masochistic Opposite" by "Mo-Dettes"	White Mice 7"	Mode	1979	The band signed to Decca Records subsidiary Deram and released one album, The Story So Far, (Deram Records SML-1120) November 1980.[5] The album chiefly consisted of pop-punk originals, as well as covers of The Rolling Stones' "Paint It Black" and Édith Piaf's "Milord". Also in 1981, billed as Bomberettes, they provided backing vocals on the track "Fighter Pilot" on John Cale's album Honi Soit. The band had a minor hit with "Paint It Black", just missing the Top 40. Bassist Jane Crockford was married in 1980 to Daniel Woodgate of the ska band Madness; the marriage lasted for 15 years. June Miles-Kingston first returned to the studio when she played drums and sang backing vocals on Fun Boy Three's "Our Lips Are Sealed", and in the late 1980s as the drummer for The Communards. During this period, she also worked with Thompson Twins, and Everything but the Girl. Miles-Kingston is the sister of the former Tenpole Tudor guitarist Bob Kingston.		0:15:17 (Pop-up)

The Fall	Can Can Summer "Can Can Summer" by "The Fall"	Imperial Wax Solvent (Expanded Version)	Cherry Red Records	2008 / 2020	Last summer I played "Get A Summer Song Goin'" by The Fall... One of their lesser known (vinyl only) & harder to find classics. I almost chose to play it again, since summer started here in Canada yesterday; but decided to play a song we haven't played before. This is the first album that the last (and longest serving) lineup of the Fall made. After Mark E. Smith passed, he encouraged them to keep playing & they chosen their moniker from this album's title: Imperial Wax Solvent.		0:33:19 (Pop-up)

A press release states that Murdoc is the self-appointed Great Leader of the cult."	*	0:36:32 (Pop-up)
JAWNY (feat. Beck)	Take It Back "Take It Back" by "JAWNY (feat. Beck)"	Take It Back (Digital Single)	Interscope	2022	"The original version of JAWNY's "Take It Back" appeared on his 2021 EP The Story of Hugo, and the new version of the song sees JAWNY unite with Beck. JAWNY said of the collaboration, "I think it’s no secret that Beck has been a giant influence on me. Getting to work with him on this record was nothing short of a full circle moment. Having him on the song and being able to play it live together was more than I could have ever imagined." He added, "I was always looking at the track as a square and then Beck kind of rotated it. Everything he added, I loved. It felt more alive. I’m super stoked for people to hear it."" As for JAWNY, "Jacob Lee-Nicholas Sullenger (born December 23, 1995), known professionally by his stage name Jawny (stylized as JAWNY; formerly Johnny Utah), is an American singer, songwriter, and producer. Jacob Sullenger was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. He first learned how to play guitar at age 6 and began composing songs in his early teens.

Now it is just into summer for us, here. Does it make sense to still play it? Sure! Entrancing and hypnotic pieces. Released on the first day of May 2022.

Anneclaire ?	All Summer Long/Just Do It	All Summer Long 12"	Crash	1985	I am so freaking confused. I pilfered this off a blog around 2009, but there is a completely different vocal over this Anneclaire italdisco track. It is a mystery.		0:57:09 (Pop-up)

Maggie The Cat	Cry Baby "Cry Baby" by "Maggie The Cat"	Cry Baby Single	Trashmouth Records	2022	Cry Baby is the oily black tongue of Disco Noir. A Disco dystopia throbbing in a once opulent basement nightclub, while you listen submerged in a jacuzzi filled with black tequila, wearing rubber speedos stuffed with quaaludes. The ghost of a washed up Broadway starlet chugs languidly on a cigar and massages your dirty feet. There is no clock, no telephone and the darkly sparkling sequin clad walls are eerily padded. You discover that you are savagely aroused by the taste of salt in your own ecstatic tears..... Produced by Liam D May & Mixed By Liam D May & Luke E May at Trashmouth Studios	*	1:07:39 (Pop-up)
Desire	Don't Call "Don't Call" by "Desire"	Desire	Italians Do It Better	2009	Desire’s self-titled debut is a smouldering ache — saturnine synthesized pop about heartbreak & infinite longing, late nights by the telephone & break-up letters smeared by tears. Do you think this feeling can last forever? Beautiful girls & beautiful boys borrow cars and hit the road. Johnny Jewel discovered singer Megan Louise performing at a club in Montreal. So transfixed was he by her voice that he elected to mirror his Portland Suite 304 studio and create a second recording room in Quebec.		1:10:51 (Pop-up)

The Clean	In Love With These Times	Yeti Six (V/A)	Yeti Publishing	2008	Mike McGonical's Yeti book+CD series (13 in all) was wonderful for the 15 years or so it spanned at the turn of the decade. I revisit it often & buy them if I chance to see copies I don't have. This is a (presumably) rare song by New Zealand band The Clean. It came to Yeti from the band's recording engineer Tex Houston; from a multitrack recording at a club called The Studio in Auckland on March 17, 2007. "This tune - one of the earliest the band ever wrote - was inspired by the Modern Lovers' "I'm in Love with the Modern World"; Hamish Kilgour adds: "It's a song about the scariness of the modern world."		1:22:59 (Pop-up)
Tall Dwarfs	Nothing's Going to Happen	Hello Cruel World	Flying Nun Records	1981 / 1987	Tall Dwarfs are duo Chris Knox and Alec Bathgate from New Zealand. The duo were former members of Toy Love. Hello Cruel World is a compilation from the band's first four EPs; Three Songs, Louis Likes His Daily Dip, Canned Music and Slugbucket Hairybreath Monster. This was the first song from their first (1981) EP "Three Songs". It features Alec on 12 String + Electric Guitar; and Chris on Rattle, Wineglasses + Vocal.		1:25:15 (Pop-up)
Times New Viking	Anything Could Happen	Yeti Six (V/A)	Yeti Publishing	2008	From the same issue of the Yeti book+CD series; this is a cover of a song by The Clean, this time performed by Columbus, Ohio's Times New Viking. Aware of the fact that they played the song live, Yeti asked them to record a cover version, which they did. It was recorded in early August, 2008. In their words: "on a hot summer day in Columbus, Ohio on a boombox by Times New Viking. Rich Horseshit played drums as well, but you can't hear him. We learned this song on the road, and actually got to witness the Clean play it. Monumental night - the Clean beat us in competition."		1:29:13 (Pop-up)

[this album] is a celebration of Chris & his music... [who] ...donated their time & talent so that all proceeds can go toward assisting Chris with his recovery." Jay Reatard recorded this song in the bathroom of a hotel in Denmark, Sweden on a 4-track. Apparently he had planned to work w/ Chris Knox one day. Unfortunately, Jay Reatard passed too early, and Chris Knox appears live or records since his stroke. On this compilation, Chris Knox does add wordless vocals to a couple of tracks. This song is a cover of Knox's first band Toy Love, from their "Toy Love" album.		1:34:53 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Arianne Churchman & Benedict Drew	The May Dew	MAY VOL.2	Thanet Tape Centre	2022	I was going to play this in May, as it is the new companion piece to a collaboration these two artists had done in May 2020; which we had played at the beginning of last month. Now it is just into the first full day of summer for us. Does it make sense to still play it? Sure! Entrancing and hypnotic pieces. Released on the first day of May 2022. Traditional (with additional lyrics), Arranged by Arianne Churchman & Benedict Drew. MAY VOL.2 by Arianne Churchman & Benedict Drew (Bandcamp)	*	1:37:04 (Pop-up)
The Clash with Ranking Roger	Red Angel Dragnet	The Clash & Ranking Roger	Sony Music	2022	Two-tone was a pivotal movement during the late 70s and 80s in the UK. A fusion of Ska and punk attitudes the scene grew beyond a music genre and looked to encapsulate a generation who had grown tired of division. A similar act who championed this unity was The Clash, who by 1981 was a global sensation, and so the latter invited The Beat to join them on tour. One stop on this tour was Theatre Mogador, Paris which saw The Clash hold a residency and The Beat support them on stage. On most of the Roger would find himself on stage singing with the band covering Willie Williams’ ‘Armagideon Time’. But on 26th September, Ranking got up and belted out a new tune covering Murvin’s ‘Police & Thieves’ which featured on their debut self-titled LP. This previously unreleased collab was pressed to 7" and released alongside the new Clash Combat Rock expanded anniversary release.		1:44:38 (Pop-up)

Eastwood recorded three albums in 1978 - African Youth and Step It In a Zion for producer Bunny Lee, and Death In The Arena for Channel One. Further albums followed in 1979 and 1980, including Sex Education for Greensleeves Records, Eastwood one of a group of deejays who led the move from 'cultural' chants to dancehall chat and 'slackness'.		1:48:48 (Pop-up)
Dennis Brown	Cassandra "Cassandra" by "Dennis Brown"	Cassandra/Fire From The Observer 7"	Observer	1974	During his prolific career, which began in the late 1960s when he was aged eleven, he recorded more than 75 albums and was one of the major stars of lovers rock, a subgenre of reggae. Bob Marley cited Brown as his favourite singer, dubbing him "The Crown Prince of Reggae", and Brown would prove influential on future generations of reggae singers. Brown's first professional appearance came at the age of eleven, when he visited "Tit for Tat" a local West Kingston Nightclub where his brother Basil was performing a comedy routine, and where he made a guest appearance with the club's resident group, the Fabulous Falcons (a group that included Cynthia Richards, David "Scotty" Scott, and Noel Brown). On the strength of this performance he was asked to join the group as a featured vocalist. When the group performed at a JLP conference at the National Arena, Brown sang two songs – Desmond Dekker's "Unity" and Johnnie Taylor's "Ain't That Loving You" – and after the audience showered the stage with money, he was able to buy his first suit with the proceeds. Bandleader Byron Lee performed on the same bill, and was sufficiently impressed with Brown to book him to perform on package shows featuring visiting US artists, where he was billed as the "Boy Wonder".		1:51:49 (Pop-up)
Johnny Nash	Cupid "Cupid" by "Johnny Nash"	Cupid/Hold Me Tight 7"	JAD	1968	Johnny Nash was born in Houston, and is one of the first non Jamaican artist to record in Kingston. He is best known for his song "I Can See Clearly Now" which sold over a million copies and was on the charts for over a month. ash sang the theme song to the syndicated animated cartoon series The Mighty Hercules, which ran on various television stations from 1963 to 1966		1:55:08 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Lee Scratch Perry & The Upsetters	War Ina Babylon	Super Ape & Return Of The Super Ape	Trojan Records	2012			1:58:33 (Pop-up)
The Flirtations	Nothing But A Heartache	Nothing But A Heartache/How Can You Tell Me? 7"	Deram	1969	Originally named the Gypsies, the Flirtations are favourites of Soulies. In late 1968 the trio signed with Deram Records and released what would become their signature recording, "Nothing But A Heartache" — a dense, dynamic, earth-shattering melodrama produced by Englishman Wayne Bickerton and written by Bickerton with Tony Waddington. The B-side was a Christmas song, "Christmastime Is Here Again". "Nothing But a Heartache" rose to first place on the "Bubbling Under" list in December 1968 and gave the Flirtations a second Top 40 hit in the Netherlands, reaching No. 36 in early 1969. This tune is indeed, a Chune of the highest order.		2:01:57 (Pop-up)

	8:15pm Derek Westerholm: Hello WR, warping and twisting is always a good thing.

	8:19pm DJ Babs: Aww thanks Alli! Yes I am definitely recovering still from lat night's post punk extravaganza of noise, lol.
	8:20pm Zipperhead7: Apparently there's a scientific debate what would happen if you neared a black hole -- would you stretch like a piece of spaghetti or burst into flame first
	8:20pm DJ Babs: Hi Mr. Fab! Yes, I am just exclaiming here off mic that the mo dettes deserve more love. I love this clippy cloppy groove!
	8:20pm Alli B: The power coming out of Psychic Weapons was🤌🤌🤌💥💥💥
	8:21pm Mr Fab: Well then it's settled Scott - holiday in Southern Cali with all the Sheena-ites here. Beer's on me.
	8:21pm Derek Westerholm: Zipperhead, do you have a side you fall into on the black hole debate? Or a theory of your own to add?
	8:22pm DJ Babs: haha Alli that's why I'm so pooped today! LOL
	8:22pm Zipperhead7: I like the idea of stretching infinitely, like Mr. Fantastic, but never snapping
	8:22pm Derek Westerholm: Hello there, Mr. Fab. Wonderful to see you!
	8:22pm DJ Babs: Fab I sure do miss my So Cal timez!!!
	8:23pm Alli B: 3 people just went by the house…. All on one e-bike 😂😂😂
	🏝 8:23pm Scott67: Sound's good to me Fab! But you may need to take out a loan to keep me in beers mate!? 🍻🤙😎💨🍺
	8:26pm ultradamno: Mortal Micronotz I do recall and were definitely KS
	8:26pm Zipperhead7: I remember the Micronotz!!! Lived in Lawrence 1984-88
	8:28pm ultradamno: I have a Talk Talk that had a WSB flexi in it...obviously, also dead local for Lawrence
	8:29pm Dj Nico: Hello hello
	8:31pm Zipperhead7: KJHK (a great college station) was supposedly one of the first to webcast. I remember seeing the DJs sitting on the rood before and after their airshifts smoking joints
	8:31pm ultradamno: I have the Rokk Í Reykjavík CD...
	8:32pm Zipperhead7: roof, not "rood"
	8:32pm Derek Westerholm: Ultra, that's fantastic! It's a great one!
	8:32pm Derek Westerholm: Hello Hello Nico!
	8:33pm ultradamno: A lot of clips from the movie on you tube also...
	8:35pm DJ Babs: Hi Nico!!!!! Welcome welcome!!!
	8:36pm Derek Westerholm: Ultra, ooooh... I never knew that! Will have to check out!
	8:36pm Derek Westerholm: This song recommends to "turn the radio off", but please don't.
	8:38pm Derek Westerholm: Zipper, "rood" could have been either road or roof... Both work, haha... Clarification noted!
	8:39pm Tyler: Good evening!
	8:39pm DJ Babs: Hey Tyler!!! Welcome welcome!!!
	8:39pm Derek Westerholm: Good evening Tyler!
	8:40pm Tyler: Hi Babs! Hi Derek! Thanks!
	8:40pm DJ Babs: I hope everyone is stayin' cool on the beach! Damn summer has come on strong here in TO!
	8:41pm Aitch: Seeing Gorillaz next month in a big arena show, 20,000 people, eek
	8:41pm Tyler: Thankfully, today is cooler & much more comfortable than yesterday...
	8:42pm Tyler: @Aitch cool! Where is that?
	8:42pm DJ Babs: ohhh Aitch that sounds AWESOME! We loved seeing Gorillaz last time they were through, Ill never miss their shows!!!
	8:42pm Derek Westerholm: Aitch, I bet it will be fantastic! We saw Gorillaz once & they were absolutely wonderful!
	8:42pm DJ Babs: lol Tyler yesterday was absolute torture!
	8:42pm Tyler: Gorillaz started as a guilty pleasure for me but now I have no trouble telling people I like them.
	8:43pm DJ Babs: I love the first few albums...last few not so much...but it sounds like they are returning to form!!! Plastic Beach is a MASTERPIECE
	8:43pm Tyler: It was a real 'peal off your shoes after the 'shoe' night :)
	8:45pm Aitch: Gorillaz with my daughters, a shared like. Show is in Sydney, in one of the ex Olympic stadiums. Should be a blast
	8:47pm Alli B: 20,000?! Holyyyyy
	8:47pm Tyler: When Gorillaz first came out they were very HYPED, songs appearing in commercials, etc., and the animation video albums made me think (incorrectly) that they were going to be another gimmicky act like Prozaak, etc. I was wrong and have come to appreciate the music and what they've been able to accomplish. I was actually talking about this with my brother on the weekend in reference to R.E.M.'s 'Radio Song' or how to do a hiphop mash-up wrong...
	8:47pm DJ Babs: woooooow. Oh yeah, I feel like Damon does his best work with them....
	8:48pm DJ Babs: I'm also seriously loving this vibe. Melodica makes it happen.
	8:48pm ultradamno: I like their cartoons
	8:51pm Tyler: I absolutely LOVE the Mali Music album Damon did in 2002 with local Malinese musicians. Lots of melodica on that.
	8:51pm DJ Babs: agreed!!!
	8:52pm Tyler: It was also nice to see Peter Murphy pull out the melodica for 'She's In Parties' in recent Bauhaus concert footage.
	8:58pm Derek Westerholm: Bauhaus covered "Sister Midnight" by Iggy Pop in Italy! Wasn't expecting to find that on the internet in 2022...
	8:59pm Alli B: Yesssss
	8:59pm Tyler: Wow, Derek! I'll have to look that up. PM previously covered Iggy's 'Funtime'.
	8:59pm Tyler: HAPPY PRIDE!
	9:00pm DJ Babs: Happy Pride everyone!!!!
	9:01pm ultradamno: Speaking of pride, God Is My Co-Pilot has been putting up tracks on BC godismycopilot.bandcamp.com Their response to Henry Rollins' "no one cares who you sleep with..." comment from the Straight Not liner notes: twitter.com...
	9:01pm Alli B: 🌈❤️🌈🧡🌈💛🌈💚🌈💙
	9:02pm DJ Babs: This tune is such a not so guilty pleasure!
	9:02pm DJ Babs: Gotta love those side chained distorted synth bass era 2007
	9:03pm DJ Babs: again I have ugly cried to this many times, lol. on dancefloors too.
	9:03pm Tyler: This a lot of fun. No guilt.
	9:04pm DJ Babs: EVERYONE HAS TO LOVE ROBYN
	9:04pm Alli B: I LOVE ROBYN
	9:04pm DJ Babs: ROBYN IS LIFE
	9:04pm Tyler: Robyn is great. I only found out recently that she & Neneh Cherry are a couple. Love them both.
	9:05pm Aitch: This Royksopp album a family fave, love Robyn too
	9:06pm DJ Babs: oh yes. This Royksopp album is just epic!!!!!
	9:06pm Aitch: They're really good
	9:06pm Derek Westerholm: Yes, happy Pride to one and all!
	9:08pm DJ Babs: I love the Miss Kitten vibes Glume is sharing here.
	9:10pm DJ Babs: Yes Tyler! Robyn + Neneh = the best power couple ever
	9:11pm Tyler: This Maggie The Cat has a Madonna feel to it.
	9:11pm Derek Westerholm: Ultradamno, excellent scan & tweet. I enjoy God Is My Co-Pilot very much (and find HR insufferable), so I know who I am more inclined to gravitate to when it comes to lived experience & appropriate commentary.
	9:11pm Tyler: @Babs - Yes, they make perfect sense together!
	🏝 9:13pm Kat in Chicago: Greetings! Glad I wore my dancing shoes!
	9:14pm DJ Babs: Tyler I thought EXACTLY the same thing when I heard that Maggie The Cat!!! So Madge! And hello Kat! Welcome and lovely to see you!!
	9:14pm Tyler: Cooler than Madge, but some of the same qualities.
	9:15pm Zipperhead7: Really enjoying the mix, Babs!
	9:15pm DJ Babs: We played some stuff from Trashmouth a few weeks ago and they are now sending us new previews and music..which is how we got the Maggie the Cat! Glad you are enjoying Zipperhead....we like taking all kinds of musical journeys here!
	9:18pm Alli B: Criscotheque was so so so fun!
	🏝 9:22pm Scott67: Sounds like a quiet night in at my place! 🍻😎🤙👣💊💊🩲
	9:23pm Tyler: FLYING NUN RULES!
	9:23pm DJ Babs: Alli if you knew Criscotheque, you knew! LOL
	9:23pm ultradamno: Bats still chugging along, strong as ever
	9:25pm DJ Babs: I love all the wonderful twists and turns of this show lol
	9:25pm Derek Westerholm: That's awesome that the Bats are still going strong, love it!
	9:27pm ultradamno: thebats.bandcamp.com
	9:27pm Tyler: ELF Power did a pretty amazing cover of this song.
	9:28pm ultradamno: Also a big fan of this, I guess side project flyingnun.bandcamp.com... Also dadamah.bandcamp.com
	9:29pm Derek Westerholm: Ultra, that's a pretty impressive discography
	9:29pm Tyler: I have a Tall Dwarfs CD in which they had fans send instrumental tapes and the Tall Dwarfs turned them into finished songs. It's surprisingly, consistently good & interesting.
	9:30pm Derek Westerholm: Tyler, I remember ELF Power... Will have to look that up
	9:30pm Derek Westerholm: Yes, I think that fan-collaboration album was called "International Tall Dwarfs"... It's a great album, very consistent!
	9:31pm Tyler: Yes, ELF Power put out an all covers album of people that inspired them, Gary Numan, Husker Du, Tall Dwarfs etc.
	9:32pm DJ Babs: ha! I did not know that!
	🏝 9:32pm Kat in Chicago: This is about as lo-fi as lo-fi gets :)
	9:32pm Tyler: @Derek - that's right. Terrible album artwork but a fun, eccentric and consistently listenable album :)
	9:33pm Tyler: Love the throbby rehearsal tape cassette sound!
	9:33pm Derek Westerholm: Kat, I know, right? Recorded on a boom box!
	9:34pm ultradamno: The Residents "I Am A Resident" was kind of like that, they had fans submit their version of Residents song and then messed with them..
	9:35pm DJ Babs: Definitely loving the lo fi ness of this particular set!
	9:37pm Tyler: @ultradamno - Love The Residents. Have seen them live 3 times. The Cube E tour back in the 90's is one of my all-time favourite concerts. Some of their fan FB groups leave a little to be desired though...
	9:37pm Derek Westerholm: This one recorded " in the bathroom of a hotel in Denmark, Sweden on a 4-track."
	9:38pm DJ Babs: eeeeeeee I could see that. I do love the Residents as well! what's that line from the Sloan song? It's not the band it's the fans I hate? LOL
	9:38pm Tyler: @Derek sounds good - tile reverb - HA!
	9:39pm Tyler: @Babs I don't understand these fan sites where you all love the same group but everyone argues over trivia :(
	🏝 9:39pm Kat in Chicago: That did make me wish the Jay Reatard/Chris Knox collab had happened
	9:41pm ultradamno: There was a pretty good Residents podcast called Title In Limbo that was based on the idea of a couple of superfans reviewed records with a couple of neophytes...seems to have died with the pandemic though, got as far as Not Available/Duck Stab twitter.com...
	9:45pm ultradamno: I had been wondering if MES' "radio off" was Modern Lovers inspired
	9:46pm Derek Westerholm: Ultra, haha... Quite possibly!
	9:46pm Tyler: @ultradamno though I've listened to The Residents for most of my life, I must admit I am not familiar with everything they've released - far too prolific and they had their ups and downs.
	9:47pm Alli B: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
	9:48pm DJ Babs: I know right I absolutely had to have this 7" you know I'm playing it at Juicebox on Saturday!!!
	🏝 9:48pm Kat in Chicago: This is great!
	9:48pm Tyler: Wow - was unaware of this collab! Sounds great!
	9:48pm Tyler: RIP Roger & Joe :(
	🏝 9:49pm Scott67: Thanks Babs & Derek! Enjoy some Summer for me guys. Heading over to see Mum & Dad now. 🍻😎🤙🌏🍁❤️❤️🌞
	9:49pm DJ Babs: Yes, when the Beat toured with the Clash roger would often sit in and I guess this was recorded and never had a proper release!
	9:49pm Derek Westerholm: I have barely scratched the surface of The Residents legacy & canon. Does anyone know who they are yet? I love the way they present their cryptic and mysterious world!
	9:50pm Tyler: @Scott67 have a good one. You can tell Mum & Dad we, your bad friends, kept you :)
	9:50pm Derek Westerholm: Scott, have a lovely time w/ your fam!
	9:52pm Alli B: This set is killing meeeee 💥🔥
	9:52pm Tyler: @Derek the 2 main long-standing members have been revealed to be Homer Flynn & Hardy Fox. They have collaborated with a myriad of people including Fred Frith & Andy Partridge.
	9:52pm Aitch: Not hard to find out all about it now Derek. When Hardy Fox, a premier resident died they dropped lot of the subterfuge. Knowing who they are/were didn't matter because you wouldn't have known them anyway
	9:53pm ultradamno: Homer Flynn, who died not long ago, is certainly known johanssonprojects.com... And Randy Rose was the singer twitter.com...
	9:53pm DJ Babs: honestly I could have spent HOURS going through this guys' 45s!!!
	🏝 9:53pm Scott67: ✌️😎🤙🌏❤️🖤🤎💜💙💚💛🧡🌈
	9:54pm Tyler: Most of the collaborators went uncredited due to usual legal, label complications. I personally enjoyed the anonymity and did not go out of my way to try to find out who they were until as ultradamno mentioned when Hardy & Homer died,
	9:54pm Alli B: dancinggggg
	9:54pm ultradamno: Randy has been pretty funny railing about the current Residents' foray into NFTs, of which he DOES NOT approve
	9:55pm Tyler: For those interested in Toronto reggae - Johnny Osbourne is playing soon. He's pretty great and appeared on the Summer Records comp that cam out a few years ago.
	9:56pm Tyler: @ultradamno - yeah, Residents merch is giving DEVO a run for their money in terms of quantity.
	9:56pm Alli B: He already played, Tyler. It was only 100 tickets and I missed out! LEGEND 💚
	9:56pm Zipperhead7: Anudda fine show, folks --always fun and interesting to hang out at the Beach!
	9:56pm Derek Westerholm: Tyler/Aitch/Ultra, thanks for the Residents fact-checking & info-sharing. I'm sure I could have asked the internet, but I love hearing it here from all of you first! You're my favourite founts of knowledge!
	9:56pm Tyler: @Alli - AW, CRAP! I wanted to see that! Hopefully, he will play again soon...
	9:57pm Tyler: @Derek a frequent Residents collaborator was Snakefinger who also has a lot of great solo records. I recommend.
	9:57pm ultradamno: I still have a santa dog sponge and keychain with actual resident hair (yellow yarn)
	🏝 9:58pm Kat in Chicago: I really liked "Hold Me Tight" when I was a kid.
	9:58pm Derek Westerholm: Was sad to have missed Horace Andy, playing here for free at Woodbine Park last weekend. Wish I could be everywhere at once.
	9:58pm Alli B: @tyler I hope so! I was so sad! He played on We Tuesday at Bsmt. Britt and Jesse sent down some weed for him! 💚 They live right above.
	9:58pm Tyler: @ultradamno I bought the gatefold 'Santa Dog' 7' reissue at one of their shows.
	9:58pm ultradamno: I saw Snakefinger with Vestal Virgins on the package tour with Rhythm & Noise and Eugene Chadbourne, good time.
	9:59pm Alli B: Derek, what a super power that would be! Want!
	9:59pm Tyler: @ultradamno - Wow! That must have been quite a show!
	10:00pm ultradamno: Poster from it twitter.com... (this one's clean but the show was at Hoosier Ballroom in Indpls)
	10:00pm Tyler: @Derek I also wanted to see Horace Andy but had to go see my parents for father's day.
	10:01pm Alli B: I luhhhhhhhhhh this tune
	10:01pm Zipperhead7: Horace Andy's "Money Money" is a fave track
	10:01pm Tyler: Love the album cover for Super Ape
	10:02pm Derek Westerholm: I remember Snakefinger was played often on CBC's Brave New Waves and Nightlines, etc. (+ University/College radio.) For some reason, the Residents/Snakefinger + associated world has escaped my devoted attention and appreciation, but I'm sure I'll get there...
	🏝 10:03pm WR: Nice closing set of classic reggae and ska. Another great episode! Thank you, I've heard some recent recordings by Horace Andy, he's still plenty good. He and Burning Spear have persevered.
	10:03pm Tyler: @Derek City Limits introduced me to them when they had a whole episode with The Residents in studio.
	10:04pm ultradamno: Going for the Buy Or Die singles got me hooked from a young age
	10:04pm Alli B: Thank you so much for another great evening of wonderful music!
	10:04pm Tyler: Thanks Derek & Babs for another fantastic installment. Congratulations on your first post-apocalyptic live show last nigt!
	10:04pm Mr Fab: Derek, you might as well start with “Duck Stab/Buster and Glen” , The Residents most popular, most weird New Wave/post-punk album, with their classic “Constantinople,” which you may know already.
	🏝 10:04pm Kat in Chicago: Thanks Babs & Derek!
	10:04pm DJ Babs: aww thanks buddies! I hope you enjoyed this wonderful and eclectic episode!!!
	10:05pm Tyler: Thanks to the Beachers in the chat for stimulating conversation & context. See you next time!
	10:05pm Derek Westerholm: Mr. Fab... It's in my collection! Must revisit soon!
	10:06pm DJ Babs: we will see you all next week!!! Thank you so much everyone!!!! Beachers are da beeeeeeeest!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
	10:06pm Derek Westerholm: Thank you all for all your absolute stellar company! Always! You're the best! Truly! No matter how Thursday starts, it always ends so much happier after being here with you all!
