Dream Nails	Vagina Police 2.0 "Vagina Police 2.0" by "Dream Nails"	Vagina Police 2.0/Corporate Realness Single	Dine Alone Music	2020	Dream Nails is an English DIY punk/riot grrrl band from London founded in 2015. The group identify themselves as “punk witches” and are known for their riotous live shows that mix storming punk guitar with sweet three-part harmonies. Dream Nails identify themselves as punk witches and their genre as "witch punk". They claim to write "hexes, not songs" and are best known for their "hex on misogynist politicians" Deep Heat.		0:02:35 (Pop-up)
Mhaol	Desperation "Desperation" by "Mhaol"	Gender Studies	TULLE	2021	Currently based between Dublin, London and Bristol, M(h)aol (pronounced “male”) are formed of Róisín Nic Ghearailt, Constance Keane, Jamie Hyland, Zoe Greenway and Sean Nolan. Together, the band aim to rattle the male dominated post-punk scene with their urgent, gritty sounds. Their EP "Gender Studies" cements their statement against toxic patriarchal standards.		0:04:09 (Pop-up)
The Menstrual Cramps	Killin Us "Killin Us" by "The Menstrual Cramps"	Free Bleedin'	The Menstrual Cramps	2018	Riot grrrl-inspired, feminist DIY punk band The Menstrual Cramps are on a mission to ‘make girls feel good’ and ‘not take your shit’. Mixing elements of punk, Britney Spears, Spice Girls and a helping of witty humour, vocalist Emilia, guitarist Cooper, bassist Robyn and drummer Beth take their tenacious spirit and ignite the stage with brutally honest lyrics to empower women to break free from the patriarchy and speak their mind. You only need to hear a couple of The Menstrual Cramps songs to understand what their mission is about. With comically direct songs Hashtag Sad Penis, Cull The Tories and Frack Off, it’s clear this band don’t shy away from telling it how it is.		0:06:04 (Pop-up)
Priests	And Breeding "And Breeding" by "Priests"	Bodies and Control and Money and Power	Don Giovanni Records	2014	Their music—which triangulates turn-of-the-80s Los Angeles, early 90s Olympia, and NYC b-movie-obsessives the Cramps, if that band spent a little less time at the drive-in and a little more time cataloging the horrors on 6 o'clock news—isn't likely to win them many points for originality, or for that matter, subtlety. But, from the first blast of feedback to the flirtation with light treason that closes it out, Bodies doesn't let up for a second; at just 17-and-a-half minutes, it has neither the time nor the patience for fucking around.		0:09:10 (Pop-up)
The Coathangers	Watch Your Back "Watch Your Back" by "The Coathangers"	Nosebleed Weekend	Suicide Squeeze	2016	Atlanta’s tireless garage punks The Coathangers have cranked out five full-lengths and well over a dozen singles, splits, and EPs. Considering the band’s initial aspirations to merely hang out and play a few house parties, their relentless touring schedule is perhaps the greatest testament to the lasting power of their scrappy hook-laden records and the infectious energy radiating from their live shows. Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth is a fan, and rightly so.		0:12:23 (Pop-up)
Courtney Barnett	I'm Not Your Mother I'm Not Your Bitch	Tell Me How You Really Feel	Mom + Pop	2018	At the center of Tell Me, Barnett gives the listener no choice but to listen when she adopts an unusually ferocious tone across two consecutive songs. “Nameless, Faceless” paraphrases a Margaret Atwood quote for its grungy chorus: “Men are scared that women will laugh at them/Women are scared that men will kill them.” And “I’m Not Your Mother, I’m Not Your Bitch” is a roiling tirade that needs little more explanation beyond its title. They’re both visceral, lunging songs. Pitchfork seems to think neither of these songs "work". Babs say Pitchfork can fuck off, they absolutely do.		0:15:06 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Sunn O)))	Cry For The Weeper "Cry For The Weeper" by "Sunn O)))"	Black One	Southern Lord	2005			0:16:54 (Pop-up)
Dog Faced Hermans	Keep Your Laws / Off My Body	Those Deep Buds	Alternative Tentacles	1994	It's very sad to be playing this song again so soon; living in a time when we are going backwards. Rights of individuals are being increasingly threatened and rolled back worldwide, if they ever had any in the first place. As always, Dog Faced Hermans have the correct perspective: "Keep your laws off my body / What I have I'll not return / I will live in no dark ages / But in the light / Clear as glass is my decision / What I have I'll not return / I will fight this territory / It's mine to fight / Mister when you're in the sunshine / And a shadow falls across / Just look up and you will find me / I'm in the light"		0:25:05 (Pop-up)
Penetration	Don't Dictate #2 - Live in Newcastle, October 14th 1979	Live 1978-1979	Easy Action	1979 / 2010	"Named after the Stooges song of the same name the band were formed in late 76 in Ferryhill County Durham by three friends Pauline Murray, Robert Blamire and Gary Smallman after seeing the Sex Pistols play in Manchester. They played their first gig in October 76 at the Middlesborough Rock Garden and played their first London gig at the famous Roxy Club in January 77 supporting Gen X. This first gig in the bright lights of London was less than fondly recalled by Pauline “We spent a fortune getting down there. We thought it was great. Then when we got there it was such a dump. I don’t know what we were expecting but it wasn’t quite that .” While singles were coming out a plenty by other acts Penetration, like X Ray Spex and The Rezillos (Siouxsie would have to wait a further year !) had to wait till later in the year to get a recording contract (strangely all women lead bands ! ?). The excellent ‘Don’t Dictate’ was released late ’77"		0:30:32 (Pop-up)
Poison Girls	Ideologically Unsound	Hex	Small Wonder	1979	Produced by Crass member Penny Rimbaud & engineered by John Loder w/ additional vocals by Crass vocalist Eve Libertine, the debut release from Poison Girls followed in the same strident political tone. Originally released in 1979, the following year it would be re-issued on Crass Records.		0:33:42 (Pop-up)
OSEES	Perm Act "Perm Act" by "OSEES"	A Foul Form	Castle Face	2022	From Stereogum: "Last month, the ever-prolific John Dwyer announced a brand-new Osees album, A Foul Form, due out on August 12 via Castle Face Records. Along with the news came a lead single, “Funeral Solution.” Now, there’s a follow-up track, “Perm Act,” and it comes with a video directed and animated by John Harlow. Clattering and urgent, “Perm Act” is decidedly anti-cop. As Dwyer tells it: "Who likes a cop? -- Other cops. -- After years of having unpleasant to violent encounters with police, I had the thought that wouldn’t it be fun if they loved each other so much they ate each other…a sort of dark comedy contemporary and executive branch based “a modest proposal.” Problem solved? The violence would hit such a high pitch that they just frenzied like sharks with chum. I saw with my own eyes two of the biggest knuckleheads i grew up with go on to have careers in law enforcement emulating the beatings they regularly took when they would mouth off to a cop. These guys were most definitely not fit for gun ownership, let alone policing others. Good luck out there.""	*	0:36:27 (Pop-up)
Mekons	Born To Choose "Born To Choose" by "Mekons"	I Have Been To Heaven And Back: Hen's Teeth and other lost fragments of unpopular culture, Vol. 1	Low Noise / Quarterstick	1993	From one of a couple of similarly titled compilations of alternate versions and lost tracks from the first couple of decades of Leeds band Mekons. This song was recorded at the Stoneroom in West London summer 1992 with Ian Caple for Rykodisc's 1993 Pro-Choice benefit CD Born To Choose. Many sharp, direct lyrics in this one, including: "Control The Body, Control The Mind."		0:40:17 (Pop-up)
The Clash	Armagideon Time "Armagideon Time" by "The Clash"	The Clash: The Singles (London Calling B-Side)	Columbia	1979	""Armagideon Time" (spelt as "Armigedeon Time" in some versions) is a song by Jamaican reggae musician Willie Williams" I was surprised to learn that the original version of this B-Side to London Calling was actually released the same year as The Clash's version, 1979. Funny how the lyrical themes of "A lotta people won't get no supper tonight", "A lotta people won't get no justice tonight" and "Battle getting harder" resound as loudly today as ever.		0:45:20 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: The Clash	Armagideon Time (VERSION) 1. Justice Tonight (Version) 2. Kick It Over (Version)	The Clash: The Singles (London Calling B-Side)	Columbia	1979	I was also surprised to check the liner notes and see that this Clash song was from 1979, as it sounds much more like Sandinista-era 1980's Clash. It certainly points to the transition ahead in that direction, with different wildly dubbed out "versions" of the song.		0:49:11 (Pop-up)
The Shifters	Left Bereft "Left Bereft" by "The Shifters"	Left Bereft/Australia Single	Captured Tracks	2020	The Shifters from Melbourne are a prolific lo-fi DIY band that put a post-modernist spin on punk. About "Left Bereft" they say: Well I feel things are a bit different now as these were all written pre-COVID, but still valid as it seems the new federal budget is a welfare package for the bosses of the country and the Liberal party is back on track making the poor suffer. It came about when we returned from our European tour. I made a point throughout the yomp to talk to as many people as possible about what was going on in their respective countries politically and socially. At the end of it all I was left with the impression that everyone felt in a similar way to myself about their own Governments and fracturing communities. ‘Left Bereft’ is an overly simplified rabble-rouser that people who maybe use English as a second or third language can understand and maybe feel a bit of solidarity. I like to imagine drunk students in France listening to it whilst wrestling on the kitchen table, which we witnessed in Rennes, but the soundtrack was ‘Constant Mongrel’.		0:58:55 (Pop-up)
Sextile ft. Sienna	Current Affair	Current Affair (Single)	Felte	2018	As a stable fixture in the Los Angeles underground, Sextile has been gaining a devout following since its creation in 2015. The outfit has all the makings of a revolutionary sound — boldly throwing convention out the window to create an entirely original, genre-bending imprint that combines the raw energy of 70’s punk with the intricate and sophisticated structural elements of 80’s post-punk and synthwave. The track features vocals and lyrics written by close friend and Los Angeles native, Sienna Scarritt . Sienna declares, “Lyrically, the song addresses the regression of our (America) nation. It’s a backwards motion, a lapse in front of our eyes—happening fast. The song is a verbal refusal of getting caught in this current of delusion. It’s a plea to the world to wake up.”		1:02:25 (Pop-up)
System Exclusive	Inline Online "Inline Online" by "System Exclusive"	System Exclusive	Castle Face	2022	Ari Blaisdell and Matt Jones are System Exclusive: a Pasadena based two piece band bearing an armful of mini synths, making heart-throbbing capital P pop cut with more than a hint of post-punk. Blaisdell’s vocals hearken back to openhearted 80’s hitmakers unafraid to quaver in the name of love, and they’re buoyed by Jones’ laser-gridded synth concoctions and heavy hand on the ones and twos.		1:05:17 (Pop-up)
Jimmy Smack	Hating Life "Hating Life" by "Jimmy Smack"	Death Is Certain (Comp)	Knekelhuis	2022	While his local punk contemporaries pursued aggressive hardcore and political punk, Jimmy Smack donned corpse paint (before it would later become synonymous with the European black metal movement) and found a home performing in venues like the Anti-Club, amongst other subterranean dwellers Christian Death, Dead Hippie and 45 Grave. Even within this lurid milieu, Jimmy Smack stood alone. Hating Life (from Death Rocks) easily locates Jimmy within the negative-punk and KBD lexicon. However his recordings, consisting of voice, rhythm box and electrified bagpipe drones, otherwise veer closer to other-worldly avant-garde rituals. Jimmy’s background in theatre and performance art helping inform not only his menacing stage presence, but also spawning the singularity of his sound.		1:08:53 (Pop-up)

Subhumans	Oh Canaduh "Oh Canaduh" by "Subhumans"	Death Was Too Kind	Alternative Tentacles	1978 / 2008	Originally released Dec 1978 as a B-Side to the "Death To The Sickoids" single. "In Vancouver Canada’s long and glorious history of punk rock, few bands were more punk, or more rockin’ than the Subhumans. Subhumans gigs were a riot, sometimes literally; years later, their records still seethe with raw power. The Subhumans were angry and hilarious, often simultaneously, the living embodiment of everything that was great about punk rock circa 1978-82. The band formed in the spring of 1978. Their first show was at an “anti-Canada Day” celebration, sponsored by anarchists, on July 1st. The band’s line-up consisted of Brian Goble (a.k.a. “Wimpy-Roy”) on vocals, Ken Montgomery (a.k.a. “Dimwit”) on drums, Gerry Hannah (a.k.a. “Gerry Useless”) on bass and Mike Graham on guitar."		1:22:30 (Pop-up)
Ohmno	Braindead In The USA "Braindead In The USA" by "Ohmno"	Muscles For President	Self-Released (Bandcamp)	2022	Released April 1, 2022. "We started this record in the summer of 2020. Locked up at home under COVID restrictions there was nothing to do but watch chaos unfold in the outside world and recede further into ourselves than previously thought possible. With eyes forced wide open we witnessed a ghouls gone wild presidential campaign alongside a numbing steady stream of racially motivated police killings. Alex P Keaton had joined the Manson Family. His shaved head and third eye swastika tattoo gave rise to a dark shadow beast of the American Dream. The visceral hatred and annihilistic anger feeding a monster whose only goal was self-consumption followed by self-immolation. The contrast from the cartoon patriotism of our youth, Springsteen and the flag, Hulk Hogan the hero of the children and the horrific downfall of our formerly beloved TV father Bill Cosby provide no other narrative other than we were now living in the American Nightmare. Muscles for President is a reflection of being stuck inside this upside down version of reality; a Born in the USA on acid. It features recurring themes of existence in slow decay, apathy at the apocalypse, derealisation, and the violent shooting death of Detroit indie legend David “Muscles” Stroughter at the hands of the LAPD in 2017." Ohmno Bandcamp	*	1:24:45 (Pop-up)
The Saints	Orstralia "Orstralia" by "The Saints"	Eternally Yours	Harvest / Sire	1978	"Chris Bailey, an Australian singer who with his band, the Saints, introduced their country to the raw, fast-tempo sounds of punk rock in the mid-1970s, just as the Sex Pistols were spiking their hair in London and the Ramones were donning their leather jackets in New York City, died on April 9 [2022] in Haarlem, the Netherlands. He was 65... ...Mr. Bailey and the Saints did not borrow from the sounds emanating out of Britain and the United States. Rather, in a case of parallel evolution, they emerged simultaneously, shaped in their native Brisbane by some of the same forces at work in the Northern Hemisphere: high unemployment, stifling social conservatism and grungy political radicalism."		1:27:44 (Pop-up)
Legendary Pink Dots	Cruel Britannia	The Museum Of Human Happiness	Metropolis Records	2022	Some words from founder Edward Ka-Spel: "Song writing and recording were necessarily deemed to happen in cyberspace for the rest of 2020 and 2021. As a result, the lyrics are utterly poignant, desperate, yet sometimes bearing a flash of gallows humour. The soundtrack is a purging fire. It’s a fire that still burns, and as I type this I can say I have never been so excited about the impending release of a new Dots’ album. Never mind the distance, there is a single-mindedness about “The Museum Of Human Happiness.” It’s 2022. We’ll meet again….EK" Legendary Pink Dots Bandcamp (Staggering discography!)	*	1:30:11 (Pop-up)
Tom Zé	Hy-Brasil Terra Sem Mal "Hy-Brasil Terra Sem Mal" by "Tom Zé"	Língua Brasileira	Selo Sesc	2022	[Translates to "Hy Brazil Land Without Evil", which would be good to find. "The repertoire reflects the composer's research. Hy-Brasil Terra Sem Mal , the song that opens the album, is, as the promotional text explains, "inspired by the Tupi-Guarani belief of Terra Sem Mal and the mythological island that appears in Celtic culture, called Hy-Brasil: a portion of land named after the Atlantic Ocean that would spend cyclical periods of seven years hidden under thick fog, revealing itself to the eyes of navigators for a single day, but always remaining unreachable by vessels"."	*	1:34:46 (Pop-up)
Ukrainian National Anthem In Dub	Ukrainian National Anthem In Dub	Jah Wobble & The Ukrainians (featuring Jon Klein)	Bandcamp	2022	Released April 22, 2022. Jah Wobble (Original bassist for Public Image Limited), John Klein (once with Siouxsie and the Banshees) join up with members of The Ukranians (Peter Solowka's project after he parted ways with The Wedding Present.)

Algebra Suicide	An Explanation For That Flock Of Crows	An Explanation For That Flock of Crows (7")	Dark Entries	1985	Starting in Chicago, Illinois, Algebra Suicide were active from 1982 to 1994. The combination of Lydia Tomkiw's poetry mostly presented with in deadpan voice and Don Hedeker's minimal post-punk-influenced guitar with added drum machine and keyboard sequencing won them more critical praise than commercial success. They toured Europe twice with added slide projections on stage, networked with many artists and underground tape labels on through the 80's, achieved some awards, ran a now-defunct home page run by Clive Barker of Hellraiser fame, published poetry, and ran Chicago's Link Hall Club.		1:48:59 (Pop-up)
Nancy Cesay & The Melodaires	C'est Fab	(cease and desist) DIY! cult classics from the post-punk era ( 1978-82)	Optimo Music	2015	"C'est Fab", a 1982 single credited to Nancy Sesay and the Melodaires—a Homosexuals-related group never heard from before or since—justifies this compilation's existence all by itself. It's a struggle for supremacy between a rhythm section that's trying to play crisp, bouncy funk and musicians who are doing their utmost to derail it (a singer squeaking uncertainly and out of tune at the very top of her range, an out-of-control trumpeter streaking through the studio, a male chorus with comedy accents, somebody dropping in cascades of fist-hammered dub piano). Everybody ends up winning.		1:51:43 (Pop-up)
Meridian Brothers y Grupo Renacimiento	Triste Son	Triste Son (Single)	Ansonia Records	2022	Bogota's the Meridian Brothers are the creation of Eblis Álvarez, who writes, arranges, produces, plays, and sings everything on their recordings, though when the band plays live he is aided by other musicians. Their music is almost unclassifiable, a bracing meld of electronic and organic instruments, influenced by Latin rock, psychedelia, Frank Zappa, The Residents, modern vanguard electronic music, and South American and Caribbean folk traditions and rhythms.   New Album coming soon!!!!		1:56:06 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Sounds of the Ocean	Beach Sounds "Beach Sounds" by "Sounds of the Ocean"	Ocean Sounds	Sounds Of The Ocean	2016			2:00:03 (Pop-up)
Yoko Ono	Angry Young Woman "Angry Young Woman" by "Yoko Ono"	Feeling The Space	Apple Records	1973	Feeling the Space was recorded during the time when the avant-garde visionary artist became estranged from her rock-star husband John Lennon. He plays only briefly on the album (billed as ‘Johnny O’cean’); she produced and wrote all the songs. ostly, Yoko’s pain and vulnerability, and also her declaration of independence, are communicated simply and gingerly, as if she were still sorting out very strong emotions that needed clear expression, not, this time, the purging power of a wail. Dedicated ‘to the sisters who died in pain and sorrow and those who are now in prisons and in mental hospitals for being unable to survive in the male society’, it’s an emotional exploration of the psychological toll of oppression.		2:02:59 (Pop-up)

	8:26pm ultradamno: Love that Poison Girls ep, probably the apex of their career...
	8:27pm ultradamno: As controversial as Crass could be at the time, it was near impossible to get anyone else to listen to Poison Girls
	8:28pm DJ Babs: Agreed. So many wonderful women making amazing, amazing music. We need all of that.
	8:29pm Derek Westerholm: Ultradamno, yeah... I hadn't really come to them until recently. I guess sometimes it just takes time...
	8:29pm DJ Babs: fear not tho friends it's not all doom and gloom. We still know how to have a good time here on the beach in the face of adversity!
	8:30pm Kat in Chicago: Ha, I started my show with this track on Monday. Doing a protest show on this topic was tricky, considering I broadcast on the airwaves of a Catholic (albeit Jesuit) university… I made no personal comments in mic breaks, just let the music and track titles speak for themselves
	8:30pm DJ Babs: right now I'm battling a terrible cold so please bear with my throaty tone tonight, lol. Summer cold boooooooooo
	8:30pm DJ Babs: oh jeez kat! That is a very tough one but I'm sure doing that show must have alleviated at least some rage/pressure....
	8:31pm Kat in Chicago: I liked Angry Courtney
	8:31pm Derek Westerholm: Kat, sounds like the right way to do it, in-so-much as sneaking the right content in under the radar of those who would censor it.
	8:31pm Derek Westerholm: "I liked Angry Courtney" would be a good tee-shirt.
	8:32pm Kat in Chicago: Yeah I couldn’t just do a regular show.
	8:32pm DJ Babs: and agreed. The music is doing a fine job I don't need to say much. one thing I will say is that it's already been incredible to see how many women are standing up, speaking out...up here in Canada I've had several conversations about how we can help women in the US gain access here and offering places to stay, support, access...that's so encouraging. Ya can't fuck with the sisterhood!!!
	8:32pm DJ Babs: dunno about you but I burn with the rage of a million suns right now. this...helps.
	8:34pm Mr Fab: Here for a bit!
	8:34pm laurapanic: my regional city in Australia had a really big march last night, in response to the overturning of Roe v Wade. It was big. Because its another chance for us to say patriarchy is fucked.
	8:34pm Alli B: I actually yelled back at the recycling guy cat calling me today. YOU GOT A VASECTOMY, BRO?
	8:34pm laurapanic: we still have access to abortion here. Legally. But the resources to actually get one are very poor, especially if you don't live in a city. Same everywhere i guess
	8:35pm laurapanic: nice on Alli. Sigh.
	8:35pm shellioh: hello guys ❤️
	8:36pm Kat in Chicago: I gotta make something for dinner now that it’s cooled off enough to be in the kitchen. Still listening!
	8:36pm laurapanic: clicky star most songs. clicky star show
	8:36pm Alli B: Never been more of a fuck you where it hurts thing to say these days that gets them to STFU real quick
	8:37pm Alli B: PUSSY POWER
	8:37pm Kat in Chicago: I have mostly aged out of being catcalled but if someone does I’m borrowing that one, Alli
	8:37pm DJ Babs: laura, that's awesome...and alli I love that you are such a goddamn fighter who takes no shit. It's fucking scary though. I keep thinking about the woman who was set on fire in the subway here a few weeks ago. And in ottawa,three women were murdered by a man who had been charged with sexual assault and stalking and fucking RELEASED. What the hell is that?!
	8:37pm Kat in Chicago: Ooh Poison Girls
	8:39pm DJ Babs: I will say tho...I am so greatful and it is wonderful to see how many of the men I know have joined as allies in solidarity. That is...very meaningful.
	8:39pm laurapanic: its fucking hard going isn't it Babs? I have no patience left for this shit. But am old and want to protect all my little babby ladies. #punkauntie
	8:39pm Alli B: I’ll probably get stabbed one of these days tbh lol
	8:39pm Derek Westerholm: Laura, glad there's more clicky-star material... Even when the world is wrong, there's excellent music to be had & people working hard to set things right.
	8:39pm DJ Babs: It's a sad thing to say, but yeah. I expect it too someday.
	8:39pm Derek Westerholm: Alli, please don't get stabbed.
	8:39pm Kat in Chicago: I’m seeing that too Babs
	8:40pm laurapanic: yes babs, lots of men speaking out, need more always.....always
	8:40pm laurapanic: MUSIC SAVES
	8:40pm shellioh: ❤️❤️❤️
	8:40pm DJ Babs: It fucking sure as shit does.
	8:41pm Kat in Chicago: (Re male allies)
	8:41pm DJ Babs: hello lovely Shelli!! Thank you for joining us tonight!!
	8:41pm Derek Westerholm: The news has been depressing and terrible lately. Like, entirely, fully, completely depressing and terrible.
	8:42pm Alli B: I mean, I love that we’re getting support , but it should be a given. Nonetheless, thanks to the supportive allies for sure.
	8:42pm Alli B: Just gotta look for the helpers, Derek
	8:43pm DJ Babs: Agreed. Mr. Rogers was so right. Looking for the helpers. There are still more helpers out there than non helpers.
	8:43pm DJ Nico: Hello hello
	8:44pm Alli B: In due credit, it was Mr Rogers Mom who said it him ❤️
	8:44pm DJ Babs: Hello lovely Nico!!! And thanks Alli...Bless Mr. Rogers mum....
	8:44pm Derek Westerholm: Agreed Alli, all lives should be unoppressed. It's so disheartening that this is not a given.
	8:44pm Derek Westerholm: Hello Nico!
	8:46pm VinylVillainSean: hola!
	8:47pm Derek Westerholm: Hey there VVS! Hello!
	8:48pm Mr Fab: Men are speaking out because it effects us all - more babies means more poverty from those who can't afford to have kids (which is why they wanted an abortion in the first place), and more poverty means more crime. It has a ripple effect thru out all of society. As 'Freakonomics' pointed out, the crime rate dropped down like a roller coaster after the passing of Roe v Wade. Sometimes my science side comes out. Class dismissed!
	8:48pm DJ Babs: Sean! Hello Hello!! and I don't think I got to say hi to Mr. Fab! So great to see you!!
	8:50pm DJ Babs: I agree Fab. Access to abortion makes for a better society. My family was a foster family...and seeing firsthand the misery that these children who were unwanted, so severely abused were subjected to. It was...horrific.
	8:51pm laurapanic: I <3 science
	8:52pm ultradamno: Of course, it seems a lot of the people who want to ban reproductive rights also benefit from demagoguing on crime, hmmm
	🏝 8:52pm Scott67: I'm quiet for now, only because I'm usually quite articulate. But in the face of Christofascist Dogma I erupt into expletives & wishes they were in a pit of maggot ridden human shit! To me that's as rational as their arguments anyway. 🍻😎🤙
	8:53pm Mr Fab: Think you got a career in death-metal lyrics there, Scott!
	8:54pm ultradamno: Spelled that way to highlight Gideon, perhaps
	8:54pm Alli B: @scott67 🤌🤌🤌👏👏👏
	8:55pm DJ Babs: goddamn scott hellz yes.
	🏝 8:55pm Scott67: Docu-Metal mate! If I could make it happen, I would! & I'm usually such a loving, friendly bloke!? Cheers!🍻😎🤙
	8:56pm VinylVillainSean: Hi Babs, Derek, Alli, Nico and anyone else I'm missing! Miss you all
	8:57pm Alli B: SEANNNNN! 😄
	8:57pm Mr Fab: It's almost cocktail o'clock. And armagettin' thirsty.
	8:57pm laurapanic: steals Scott's words for lyrics
	8:57pm Alli B: T!!! 😀
	8:57pm DJ Nico: Derek Babs Alli Shelli Sean ♥️
	🏝 8:58pm Scott67: All yours Laura! Just give me a mention on the Album Cover mate! 😎🤙🌻
	8:58pm Alli B: Still so light out! Hell-o summer!
	🏝 8:59pm Scott67: Cheers Fab!🍻😎🤙💨🍹🍸
	8:59pm VinylVillainSean: Is there fireworks going off?
	9:00pm Alli B: I dunno if there are fireworks. Deboned not celebrating Canadá Day though
	9:01pm Alli B: Umm, autocorrect. That was meant to say definitely not deboned 😅
	9:01pm Derek Westerholm: VVS... Yes, The Clash enjoyed some fireworks during the making of that song
	9:01pm Alli B: Oh soz haha
	9:02pm laurapanic: Scott I love the idea of having the lyric "I'm usually quite articulate" ....perfect.
	9:02pm Derek Westerholm: So though there may be holiday fireworks outdoors over here, there were also some fireworks in the music, haha.
	9:02pm DJ Babs: there should be fireworks tomorrow but also there's supposed to be thunderstorms so NATURES FIREWORKS
	9:03pm Mr Fab: Getting deboned is quite a drastic weight-loss measure! Maybe try cutting back on sweets first?
	9:03pm DJ Babs: ya need yer bonez! it's what holds us up!
	🏝 9:04pm Scott67: I think a lotta blokes should be De-boned!🗡️🍆
	9:04pm Alli B: Guts in a meat sack otherwise!
	9:04pm Alli B: Wicked song
	9:05pm Derek Westerholm: Ultradamno -- "Spelled that way to highlight Gideon, perhaps" -- Good observation!
	🏝 9:05pm Scott67: Larson's 'Boneless Chicken Ranch' in mind now!
	9:05pm Alli B: @scott67 speaking the hard truth! 👏
	9:06pm DJ Babs: time to dance! I love a good dystopian dance!
	9:06pm Derek Westerholm: Hello Fab, Hello Shelli... Don't think I said hello yet.
	9:06pm Alli B: Babs hahaha same 😂😂😂
	9:06pm DJ Babs: bette midler had a great quote that viagra should be outlawed next because if man needs a pill to get hard it is gods will he doesn't lol.
	9:07pm Alli B: Fair is fair
	9:07pm DJ Babs: right?!
	9:07pm RohanSJ: Hello all...I'm here at the Beach for the first time in a while!
	9:08pm VinylVillainSean: Hey Rohan!
	9:08pm RohanSJ: Hey Sean!
	9:08pm DJ Babs: hi Rohan!!! so great to see you! It's beena while!!!
	9:08pm Alli B: ROHAN
	9:09pm RohanSJ: ALLI
	9:09pm RohanSJ: Hi Babs! Yes, it's been a while and I'm very happy to be here today!
	🏝 9:09pm Scott67: I'm an Atheist, can I still take it?... In future, if ever needed? Asking for a friend.
	9:10pm DJ Babs: lolz it's still legal so yep go for it scotty!! ;-)
	9:10pm Mr Fab: You guys know about all these LA bands that I don't know, haha. Granted, i don't really follow the club listings anymore, cuz of course for a couple years, there was no need. I really got out of the habit.
	9:10pm Derek Westerholm: The alarm bells are sounding for other rights that are next to be trampled. Once justice can be overturned and society pushed backwards, the bullies of ]this world will keep pushing to see how far they can oppress.
	🏝 9:11pm Scott67: I have zero need yet Babs. Also zero partner so that's also a thing.
	9:11pm Derek Westerholm: Hello Rohan!
	9:11pm DJ Babs: Mr Fab I was gonna ask you if you knew aabout Jimmy Smack! HE is..uhhh fascinating!!!
	9:12pm Mr Fab: Ah, Jimmy Smack - now I remember this guy! The Anti-Club, good times.
	9:12pm Alli B: I’m ready to fight! FUCK THIS SHIT
	9:13pm DJ Babs: yes! Apparently he was a member of the LA ballet company...and he performed in corpsepaint and you think that the drone is synth but it's GODDAMN BAGPIPES
	9:13pm DJ Babs: Bag
	9:13pm DJ Babs: pipes
	🏝 9:13pm Scott67: I like Jimmy's smack!🍻😎🤙
	9:14pm Mr Fab: Bagpipes! I recall that he played violin, but clearly I'm losing what's left of my memory.
	🏝 9:14pm Scott67: Fuck shit up Ali! 🍻😎🤙💜
	9:16pm Alli B: I do :)
	9:16pm laurapanic: THIS FREE KITTEN SONG RULLLLES. vid is also very cool
	🏝 9:17pm Scott67: Like what I'm hearin too Laura!😎🤙💨🐈‍⬛
	🏝 9:21pm Scott67: We have fucked the right wing Liberal Party off since! 🍻😎🤙🌏
	9:22pm ultradamno: 100 Flowers had Motorboat To Hell, which would be much faster...
	🏝 9:23pm WR: Auntie Patriotic !
	🏝 9:24pm Kat in Chicago: I'm going to an Anti-Fourth noise show on Saturday night :)
	9:24pm DJ Babs: honestly scott it's a bloody mess.
	9:25pm DJ Babs: Kat that sounds FABULOUS!
	🏝 9:26pm Kat in Chicago: My very angry Asian femme friend is performing, among others. It's happening in a bookstore/art store
	9:26pm ultradamno: I remember the first time I saw DOA Joey Shithead went on a lengthy rap in favor of the Vancouver 5. That was quite a kerfuffle some Subhumans were involved in then...
	9:29pm DJ Babs: I support all angry Asian femmes. very, very strongly. ❤️
	9:29pm DJ Babs: Ultradamno omg yes. Joey Shithead definitely can be most divisive...
	9:30pm Mr Fab: For all the Americans who want to "move to Canada," er, ya better check who won the recent Quebec elections: www.wsws.org... So you might was well stay here...
	9:32pm ultradamno: Off to Mexico...unless they use the wall against us, DAMNIT!
	9:32pm DJ Babs: oh yeah. We are definitely no better here. We just re elected a populist fuckhead in ontario who made his pitch on lower gas prices...ugh. And Quebec. Well..Quebec is uhhh "special".
	9:33pm DJ Babs: as one of my Brown friends said "at least in the West and in Quebec they're openly racist...I'd rather that"
	🏝 9:34pm Kat in Chicago: Yeah the article is actually about that Ontario creep
	9:34pm DJ Babs: to your previous point about the Vancouver 5 Ultradamno, I'm all for taking on any company potentially fuelling an increased risk of nuclear warfare...
	9:36pm DJ Babs: omg don't even get me started about Doug Ford. "FOLKS HERES CHEAPER GAS FOR YOUR SUVS" and we fucking bought it. Well. we didn't in the cities. But a lot of people outside of the city and in certain parts of the city sure as shit did. It's crazy how people forgot his mishandling of covid. And his decimation of our healthcare system. It's...fucked.
	🏝 9:36pm Kristine: Hello!
	9:36pm ultradamno: As I remember (I have it on cassette somewhere) Shithead said "one of the places they bombed was where they made guidance systems for cruise missiles, I think they deserve a medal for that" or words to that effect...
	9:36pm DJ Babs: Hi Kristine!!! Welcome to our angry little show tonight! LOL. Got a grievance political or otherwise AIR IT HERE.
	9:37pm DJ Babs: and yes, ultradamno that's exactly what they were doing....
	9:37pm Mr Fab: And speaking of "Cruel Britannia," Boris' UK voted to leave the EU, so don't know if England's much of an option, either. (When i hear newsreaders pronounce "EU" it sounds like "eeeeww...")
	9:37pm RohanSJ: New meaning for ON AIR
	🏝 9:37pm Kristine: ehhhhhhh too chill to be angry.had such a nice time seeing you humans last week. made my week!!
	9:38pm ultradamno: And I recall being told the porn shops they targeted were trafficking in stuff involving minors under the table as well.
	9:38pm VinylVillainSean: The worst is now the province is allowing rental hikes. Ford's just helping his rich buddies out who rent out the houses and buildings in the province. I can barely afford to rent a 1 bedroom unit on my own in this damn city.
	9:39pm Derek Westerholm: The far-right is tightening its grip everywhere it can. Here is no exception. Money just wants to multiply itself at the cost of the rest of us. It's happening worldwide. It seems every right-leaning govt is getting more emboldened too w/ successive wins.
	9:39pm ultradamno: On Ford, it's so odd the families that manage to establish political dynasties sometimes
	🏝 9:40pm Kristine: how can we be unhappy listening to this blissful brazilian music??
	9:40pm Derek Westerholm: Kristine, hello! We are less chill today, ha. Sorry about that, though, yes, I threw in some Tom Zé to cheer us all up!
	9:41pm VinylVillainSean: lol I love this music
	9:41pm DJ Babs: I am loving this. Loving it!!
	9:42pm Derek Westerholm: Me too! I especially love Tom Zé
	9:42pm DJ Babs: Sean I have some Meridian Brothers coming your way too!!!
	9:42pm VinylVillainSean: I want to edit a video of politicians screaming at each other at Queen's Park while this music plays
	9:42pm VinylVillainSean: Wooo! Thanks for getting me onto them Babs! I love them
	🏝 9:42pm Kristine: yeah, in this day and age with covid and stuff, more and more people are isolated at home, we are being trained to be defeated
	🏝 9:43pm Kristine: damn, you guys are really making an effort to turn the tide to be more chill. this jah wabble is wonderful!!
	9:44pm RohanSJ: I had no idea that this track existed – not that I would, but it's still remarkable
	9:44pm Alli B: Sean I love that idea!
	🏝 9:45pm Scott67: I should start a Refuge down here for Intelligent Americans. 🍻😎🤙🌏
	9:46pm Mr Fab: yeah, but where would I go, Scott?!
	🏝 9:46pm Scott67: Not that intelligence is any guarantee you're not still a fuckwit!
	9:46pm RohanSJ: NFAs: Non-Fuckwit Americans
	🏝 9:47pm Scott67: Fab, I wasn't born mad, the Human World made me this way.
	🏝 9:48pm Scott67: Spot on Rohan!🍻😎🤙
	9:48pm DJ Babs: Sean please make that video! And yes I feel like we are turning a corner here in our programming which was the plan! I'm so excited for these last sets!
	9:51pm DJ Nico: Really enjoyed the tunes 🎵
	🏝 9:51pm Kat in Chicago: I'm so glad Dark Entries is acquainting more people with Algebra Suicide
	🏝 9:52pm Kristine: this sounds like a lovely mix of young marble giants and the space lady. this rocks!!!!
	9:52pm DJ Babs: right!? I freaking love this tune.
	9:52pm Alli B: This song
	9:53pm DJ Babs: Dark Entries is giving us gifts continually with their reisssues...they have impeccable taste!!
	🏝 9:53pm Kat in Chicago: Lydia is no longer with us, alas. Don plays polka rock now
	9:53pm DJ Babs: ok I am very very excited about this song playing now.
	9:54pm DJ Babs: STRIDENT WOMEN AND SKRONKY SAX YES
	9:55pm Mr Fab: looks like I got a theme song.
	9:55pm Derek Westerholm: If you're going to make a step sideways from minimal synth Coldwave, "polka rock" seems like the logical choice.
	9:55pm RohanSJ: I'm being summoned to pet a kitty in the next room, and it will take 20 minutes. I'll still be able to hear the broadcast, but won't be in the chat, so I'll now say: THANK YOU BABS AND DEREK! And WFMU!
	🏝 9:55pm Kat in Chicago: Yep! One that wouldn't be out of place on Darryl's show
	9:55pm Derek Westerholm: Mr. Fab, haha... True!!!
	9:56pm DJ Babs: Thank you Rohan! It was so so lovely to have you joining us tonight! Stay safe and well!!!!
	9:56pm Derek Westerholm: Goodnight Rohan, enjoy your night/weekend/kitty!
	🏝 9:56pm Kat in Chicago: I love this
	9:56pm DJ Babs: RIGHT!? side project of the homosexuals...the only release...
	9:59pm VinylVillainSean: Soo good!
	9:59pm DJ Babs: oh I know Sean. We need to make a pilgrimage to wherever to see Meridian Brothers live. They are so fucking good.
	9:59pm DJ Babs: new album coming soon!!!!

Artist	Track	Album	Label	Year	Comments	New	Approx. start time
Music behind DJ: Sounds of the Ocean	Beach Sounds "Beach Sounds" by "Sounds of the Ocean"	Ocean Sounds	Sounds Of The Ocean	2016			0:00:00 (Pop-up)
Dream Nails	Vagina Police 2.0 "Vagina Police 2.0" by "Dream Nails"	Vagina Police 2.0/Corporate Realness Single	Dine Alone Music	2020	Dream Nails is an English DIY punk/riot grrrl band from London founded in 2015. The group identify themselves as “punk witches” and are known for their riotous live shows that mix storming punk guitar with sweet three-part harmonies. Dream Nails identify themselves as punk witches and their genre as "witch punk". They claim to write "hexes, not songs" and are best known for their "hex on misogynist politicians" Deep Heat.		0:02:35 (Pop-up)
Mhaol	Desperation "Desperation" by "Mhaol"	Gender Studies	TULLE	2021	Currently based between Dublin, London and Bristol, M(h)aol (pronounced “male”) are formed of Róisín Nic Ghearailt, Constance Keane, Jamie Hyland, Zoe Greenway and Sean Nolan. Together, the band aim to rattle the male dominated post-punk scene with their urgent, gritty sounds. Their EP "Gender Studies" cements their statement against toxic patriarchal standards.		0:04:09 (Pop-up)
The Menstrual Cramps	Killin Us "Killin Us" by "The Menstrual Cramps"	Free Bleedin'	The Menstrual Cramps	2018	Riot grrrl-inspired, feminist DIY punk band The Menstrual Cramps are on a mission to ‘make girls feel good’ and ‘not take your shit’. Mixing elements of punk, Britney Spears, Spice Girls and a helping of witty humour, vocalist Emilia, guitarist Cooper, bassist Robyn and drummer Beth take their tenacious spirit and ignite the stage with brutally honest lyrics to empower women to break free from the patriarchy and speak their mind. You only need to hear a couple of The Menstrual Cramps songs to understand what their mission is about. With comically direct songs Hashtag Sad Penis, Cull The Tories and Frack Off, it’s clear this band don’t shy away from telling it how it is.		0:06:04 (Pop-up)
Priests	And Breeding "And Breeding" by "Priests"	Bodies and Control and Money and Power	Don Giovanni Records	2014	Their music—which triangulates turn-of-the-80s Los Angeles, early 90s Olympia, and NYC b-movie-obsessives the Cramps, if that band spent a little less time at the drive-in and a little more time cataloging the horrors on 6 o'clock news—isn't likely to win them many points for originality, or for that matter, subtlety. But, from the first blast of feedback to the flirtation with light treason that closes it out, Bodies doesn't let up for a second; at just 17-and-a-half minutes, it has neither the time nor the patience for fucking around.		0:09:10 (Pop-up)
The Coathangers	Watch Your Back "Watch Your Back" by "The Coathangers"	Nosebleed Weekend	Suicide Squeeze	2016	Atlanta’s tireless garage punks The Coathangers have cranked out five full-lengths and well over a dozen singles, splits, and EPs. Considering the band’s initial aspirations to merely hang out and play a few house parties, their relentless touring schedule is perhaps the greatest testament to the lasting power of their scrappy hook-laden records and the infectious energy radiating from their live shows. Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth is a fan, and rightly so.		0:12:23 (Pop-up)
Courtney Barnett	I'm Not Your Mother I'm Not Your Bitch	Tell Me How You Really Feel	Mom + Pop	2018	At the center of Tell Me, Barnett gives the listener no choice but to listen when she adopts an unusually ferocious tone across two consecutive songs. “Nameless, Faceless” paraphrases a Margaret Atwood quote for its grungy chorus: “Men are scared that women will laugh at them/Women are scared that men will kill them.” And “I’m Not Your Mother, I’m Not Your Bitch” is a roiling tirade that needs little more explanation beyond its title. They’re both visceral, lunging songs. Pitchfork seems to think neither of these songs "work". Babs say Pitchfork can fuck off, they absolutely do.		0:15:06 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Sunn O)))	Cry For The Weeper "Cry For The Weeper" by "Sunn O)))"	Black One	Southern Lord	2005			0:16:54 (Pop-up)
Dog Faced Hermans	Keep Your Laws / Off My Body	Those Deep Buds	Alternative Tentacles	1994	It's very sad to be playing this song again so soon; living in a time when we are going backwards. Rights of individuals are being increasingly threatened and rolled back worldwide, if they ever had any in the first place. As always, Dog Faced Hermans have the correct perspective: "Keep your laws off my body / What I have I'll not return / I will live in no dark ages / But in the light / Clear as glass is my decision / What I have I'll not return / I will fight this territory / It's mine to fight / Mister when you're in the sunshine / And a shadow falls across / Just look up and you will find me / I'm in the light"		0:25:05 (Pop-up)
Penetration	Don't Dictate #2 - Live in Newcastle, October 14th 1979	Live 1978-1979	Easy Action	1979 / 2010	"Named after the Stooges song of the same name the band were formed in late 76 in Ferryhill County Durham by three friends Pauline Murray, Robert Blamire and Gary Smallman after seeing the Sex Pistols play in Manchester. They played their first gig in October 76 at the Middlesborough Rock Garden and played their first London gig at the famous Roxy Club in January 77 supporting Gen X. This first gig in the bright lights of London was less than fondly recalled by Pauline “We spent a fortune getting down there. We thought it was great. Then when we got there it was such a dump. I don’t know what we were expecting but it wasn’t quite that .” While singles were coming out a plenty by other acts Penetration, like X Ray Spex and The Rezillos (Siouxsie would have to wait a further year !) had to wait till later in the year to get a recording contract (strangely all women lead bands ! ?). The excellent ‘Don’t Dictate’ was released late ’77"		0:30:32 (Pop-up)
Poison Girls	Ideologically Unsound	Hex	Small Wonder	1979	Produced by Crass member Penny Rimbaud & engineered by John Loder w/ additional vocals by Crass vocalist Eve Libertine, the debut release from Poison Girls followed in the same strident political tone. Originally released in 1979, the following year it would be re-issued on Crass Records.		0:33:42 (Pop-up)
OSEES	Perm Act "Perm Act" by "OSEES"	A Foul Form	Castle Face	2022	From Stereogum: "Last month, the ever-prolific John Dwyer announced a brand-new Osees album, A Foul Form, due out on August 12 via Castle Face Records. Along with the news came a lead single, “Funeral Solution.” Now, there’s a follow-up track, “Perm Act,” and it comes with a video directed and animated by John Harlow. Clattering and urgent, “Perm Act” is decidedly anti-cop. As Dwyer tells it: "Who likes a cop? -- Other cops. -- After years of having unpleasant to violent encounters with police, I had the thought that wouldn’t it be fun if they loved each other so much they ate each other…a sort of dark comedy contemporary and executive branch based “a modest proposal.” Problem solved? The violence would hit such a high pitch that they just frenzied like sharks with chum. I saw with my own eyes two of the biggest knuckleheads i grew up with go on to have careers in law enforcement emulating the beatings they regularly took when they would mouth off to a cop. These guys were most definitely not fit for gun ownership, let alone policing others. Good luck out there.""	*	0:36:27 (Pop-up)
Mekons	Born To Choose "Born To Choose" by "Mekons"	I Have Been To Heaven And Back: Hen's Teeth and other lost fragments of unpopular culture, Vol. 1	Low Noise / Quarterstick	1993	From one of a couple of similarly titled compilations of alternate versions and lost tracks from the first couple of decades of Leeds band Mekons. This song was recorded at the Stoneroom in West London summer 1992 with Ian Caple for Rykodisc's 1993 Pro-Choice benefit CD Born To Choose. Many sharp, direct lyrics in this one, including: "Control The Body, Control The Mind."		0:40:17 (Pop-up)
The Clash	Armagideon Time "Armagideon Time" by "The Clash"	The Clash: The Singles (London Calling B-Side)	Columbia	1979	""Armagideon Time" (spelt as "Armigedeon Time" in some versions) is a song by Jamaican reggae musician Willie Williams" I was surprised to learn that the original version of this B-Side to London Calling was actually released the same year as The Clash's version, 1979. Funny how the lyrical themes of "A lotta people won't get no supper tonight", "A lotta people won't get no justice tonight" and "Battle getting harder" resound as loudly today as ever.		0:45:20 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: The Clash	Armagideon Time (VERSION) 1. Justice Tonight (Version) 2. Kick It Over (Version)	The Clash: The Singles (London Calling B-Side)	Columbia	1979	I was also surprised to check the liner notes and see that this Clash song was from 1979, as it sounds much more like Sandinista-era 1980's Clash. It certainly points to the transition ahead in that direction, with different wildly dubbed out "versions" of the song.		0:49:11 (Pop-up)
The Shifters	Left Bereft "Left Bereft" by "The Shifters"	Left Bereft/Australia Single	Captured Tracks	2020	The Shifters from Melbourne are a prolific lo-fi DIY band that put a post-modernist spin on punk. About "Left Bereft" they say: Well I feel things are a bit different now as these were all written pre-COVID, but still valid as it seems the new federal budget is a welfare package for the bosses of the country and the Liberal party is back on track making the poor suffer. It came about when we returned from our European tour. I made a point throughout the yomp to talk to as many people as possible about what was going on in their respective countries politically and socially. At the end of it all I was left with the impression that everyone felt in a similar way to myself about their own Governments and fracturing communities. ‘Left Bereft’ is an overly simplified rabble-rouser that people who maybe use English as a second or third language can understand and maybe feel a bit of solidarity. I like to imagine drunk students in France listening to it whilst wrestling on the kitchen table, which we witnessed in Rennes, but the soundtrack was ‘Constant Mongrel’.		0:58:55 (Pop-up)
Sextile ft. Sienna	Current Affair	Current Affair (Single)	Felte	2018	As a stable fixture in the Los Angeles underground, Sextile has been gaining a devout following since its creation in 2015. The outfit has all the makings of a revolutionary sound — boldly throwing convention out the window to create an entirely original, genre-bending imprint that combines the raw energy of 70’s punk with the intricate and sophisticated structural elements of 80’s post-punk and synthwave. The track features vocals and lyrics written by close friend and Los Angeles native, Sienna Scarritt . Sienna declares, “Lyrically, the song addresses the regression of our (America) nation. It’s a backwards motion, a lapse in front of our eyes—happening fast. The song is a verbal refusal of getting caught in this current of delusion. It’s a plea to the world to wake up.”		1:02:25 (Pop-up)
System Exclusive	Inline Online "Inline Online" by "System Exclusive"	System Exclusive	Castle Face	2022	Ari Blaisdell and Matt Jones are System Exclusive: a Pasadena based two piece band bearing an armful of mini synths, making heart-throbbing capital P pop cut with more than a hint of post-punk. Blaisdell’s vocals hearken back to openhearted 80’s hitmakers unafraid to quaver in the name of love, and they’re buoyed by Jones’ laser-gridded synth concoctions and heavy hand on the ones and twos.		1:05:17 (Pop-up)
Jimmy Smack	Hating Life "Hating Life" by "Jimmy Smack"	Death Is Certain (Comp)	Knekelhuis	2022	While his local punk contemporaries pursued aggressive hardcore and political punk, Jimmy Smack donned corpse paint (before it would later become synonymous with the European black metal movement) and found a home performing in venues like the Anti-Club, amongst other subterranean dwellers Christian Death, Dead Hippie and 45 Grave. Even within this lurid milieu, Jimmy Smack stood alone. Hating Life (from Death Rocks) easily locates Jimmy within the negative-punk and KBD lexicon. However his recordings, consisting of voice, rhythm box and electrified bagpipe drones, otherwise veer closer to other-worldly avant-garde rituals. Jimmy’s background in theatre and performance art helping inform not only his menacing stage presence, but also spawning the singularity of his sound.		1:08:53 (Pop-up)

Subhumans	Oh Canaduh "Oh Canaduh" by "Subhumans"	Death Was Too Kind	Alternative Tentacles	1978 / 2008	Originally released Dec 1978 as a B-Side to the "Death To The Sickoids" single. "In Vancouver Canada’s long and glorious history of punk rock, few bands were more punk, or more rockin’ than the Subhumans. Subhumans gigs were a riot, sometimes literally; years later, their records still seethe with raw power. The Subhumans were angry and hilarious, often simultaneously, the living embodiment of everything that was great about punk rock circa 1978-82. The band formed in the spring of 1978. Their first show was at an “anti-Canada Day” celebration, sponsored by anarchists, on July 1st. The band’s line-up consisted of Brian Goble (a.k.a. “Wimpy-Roy”) on vocals, Ken Montgomery (a.k.a. “Dimwit”) on drums, Gerry Hannah (a.k.a. “Gerry Useless”) on bass and Mike Graham on guitar."		1:22:30 (Pop-up)
Ohmno	Braindead In The USA "Braindead In The USA" by "Ohmno"	Muscles For President	Self-Released (Bandcamp)	2022	Released April 1, 2022. "We started this record in the summer of 2020. Locked up at home under COVID restrictions there was nothing to do but watch chaos unfold in the outside world and recede further into ourselves than previously thought possible. With eyes forced wide open we witnessed a ghouls gone wild presidential campaign alongside a numbing steady stream of racially motivated police killings. Alex P Keaton had joined the Manson Family. His shaved head and third eye swastika tattoo gave rise to a dark shadow beast of the American Dream. The visceral hatred and annihilistic anger feeding a monster whose only goal was self-consumption followed by self-immolation. The contrast from the cartoon patriotism of our youth, Springsteen and the flag, Hulk Hogan the hero of the children and the horrific downfall of our formerly beloved TV father Bill Cosby provide no other narrative other than we were now living in the American Nightmare. Muscles for President is a reflection of being stuck inside this upside down version of reality; a Born in the USA on acid. It features recurring themes of existence in slow decay, apathy at the apocalypse, derealisation, and the violent shooting death of Detroit indie legend David “Muscles” Stroughter at the hands of the LAPD in 2017."

The Saints	Orstralia "Orstralia" by "The Saints"	Eternally Yours	Harvest / Sire	1978	"Chris Bailey, an Australian singer who with his band, the Saints, introduced their country to the raw, fast-tempo sounds of punk rock in the mid-1970s, just as the Sex Pistols were spiking their hair in London and the Ramones were donning their leather jackets in New York City, died on April 9 [2022] in Haarlem, the Netherlands. He was 65... ...Mr. Bailey and the Saints did not borrow from the sounds emanating out of Britain and the United States. Rather, in a case of parallel evolution, they emerged simultaneously, shaped in their native Brisbane by some of the same forces at work in the Northern Hemisphere: high unemployment, stifling social conservatism and grungy political radicalism."		1:27:44 (Pop-up)
Legendary Pink Dots	Cruel Britannia	The Museum Of Human Happiness	Metropolis Records	2022	Some words from founder Edward Ka-Spel: "Song writing and recording were necessarily deemed to happen in cyberspace for the rest of 2020 and 2021. As a result, the lyrics are utterly poignant, desperate, yet sometimes bearing a flash of gallows humour. The soundtrack is a purging fire. It’s a fire that still burns, and as I type this I can say I have never been so excited about the impending release of a new Dots’ album. Never mind the distance, there is a single-mindedness about “The Museum Of Human Happiness.” It’s 2022. We’ll meet again….EK" Legendary Pink Dots Bandcamp (Staggering discography!)	*	1:30:11 (Pop-up)
Tom Zé	Hy-Brasil Terra Sem Mal "Hy-Brasil Terra Sem Mal" by "Tom Zé"	Língua Brasileira	Selo Sesc	2022	[Translates to "Hy Brazil Land Without Evil", which would be good to find. "The repertoire reflects the composer's research. Hy-Brasil Terra Sem Mal , the song that opens the album, is, as the promotional text explains, "inspired by the Tupi-Guarani belief of Terra Sem Mal and the mythological island that appears in Celtic culture, called Hy-Brasil: a portion of land named after the Atlantic Ocean that would spend cyclical periods of seven years hidden under thick fog, revealing itself to the eyes of navigators for a single day, but always remaining unreachable by vessels"."	*	1:34:46 (Pop-up)
Ukrainian National Anthem In Dub	Ukrainian National Anthem In Dub	Jah Wobble & The Ukrainians (featuring Jon Klein)	Bandcamp	2022	Released April 22, 2022. Jah Wobble (Original bassist for Public Image Limited), John Klein (once with Siouxsie and the Banshees) join up with members of The Ukranians (Peter Solowka's project after he parted ways with The Wedding Present.) "A brand new interpretation of the Ukrainian National Anthem by Jah Wobble and Jon Klein with special guests, released to benefit the DEC (Disasters Emergency Committee) Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal www.dec.org.uk/appeal/ukraine-humanitarian-appeal and the AUGB (Association of Ukrainians in Great Britain) Help Ukraine Emergency Appeal www.augb.co.uk Also visit: www.gofundme.com/f/helpukraine All proceeds from the song will be donated to these organisations."

Algebra Suicide	An Explanation For That Flock Of Crows	An Explanation For That Flock of Crows (7")	Dark Entries	1985	Starting in Chicago, Illinois, Algebra Suicide were active from 1982 to 1994. The combination of Lydia Tomkiw's poetry mostly presented with in deadpan voice and Don Hedeker's minimal post-punk-influenced guitar with added drum machine and keyboard sequencing won them more critical praise than commercial success. They toured Europe twice with added slide projections on stage, networked with many artists and underground tape labels on through the 80's, achieved some awards, ran a now-defunct home page run by Clive Barker of Hellraiser fame, published poetry, and ran Chicago's Link Hall Club.		1:48:59 (Pop-up)
Nancy Cesay & The Melodaires	C'est Fab	(cease and desist) DIY! cult classics from the post-punk era ( 1978-82)	Optimo Music	2015	"C'est Fab", a 1982 single credited to Nancy Sesay and the Melodaires—a Homosexuals-related group never heard from before or since—justifies this compilation's existence all by itself. It's a struggle for supremacy between a rhythm section that's trying to play crisp, bouncy funk and musicians who are doing their utmost to derail it (a singer squeaking uncertainly and out of tune at the very top of her range, an out-of-control trumpeter streaking through the studio, a male chorus with comedy accents, somebody dropping in cascades of fist-hammered dub piano). Everybody ends up winning.		1:51:43 (Pop-up)
Meridian Brothers y Grupo Renacimiento	Triste Son	Triste Son (Single)	Ansonia Records	2022	Bogota's the Meridian Brothers are the creation of Eblis Álvarez, who writes, arranges, produces, plays, and sings everything on their recordings, though when the band plays live he is aided by other musicians. Their music is almost unclassifiable, a bracing meld of electronic and organic instruments, influenced by Latin rock, psychedelia, Frank Zappa, The Residents, modern vanguard electronic music, and South American and Caribbean folk traditions and rhythms.   New Album coming soon!!!!		1:56:06 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Sounds of the Ocean	Beach Sounds "Beach Sounds" by "Sounds of the Ocean"	Ocean Sounds	Sounds Of The Ocean	2016			2:00:03 (Pop-up)
Yoko Ono	Angry Young Woman "Angry Young Woman" by "Yoko Ono"	Feeling The Space	Apple Records	1973	Feeling the Space was recorded during the time when the avant-garde visionary artist became estranged from her rock-star husband John Lennon. He plays only briefly on the album (billed as ‘Johnny O’cean’); she produced and wrote all the songs. ostly, Yoko’s pain and vulnerability, and also her declaration of independence, are communicated simply and gingerly, as if she were still sorting out very strong emotions that needed clear expression, not, this time, the purging power of a wail. Dedicated ‘to the sisters who died in pain and sorrow and those who are now in prisons and in mental hospitals for being unable to survive in the male society’, it’s an emotional exploration of the psychological toll of oppression.		2:02:59 (Pop-up)

	8:23pm Derek Westerholm: Laura, I'm with you and Babs... It's great to see Courtney Barnett showing another side... That was a great song.
	8:24pm laurapanic: maybe they should critique the content of that Barnett song, cuz they diminish i with such basic analysis
	8:25pm Alli B: THEY WRITE HEXES 😍
	8:26pm laurapanic: Dream Nails song "Cookie For You" is something I regularly post in response to some men online
	8:26pm ultradamno: Love that Poison Girls ep, probably the apex of their career...
	8:27pm ultradamno: As controversial as Crass could be at the time, it was near impossible to get anyone else to listen to Poison Girls
	8:28pm DJ Babs: Agreed. So many wonderful women making amazing, amazing music. We need all of that.
	8:29pm Derek Westerholm: Ultradamno, yeah... I hadn't really come to them until recently. I guess sometimes it just takes time...
	8:29pm DJ Babs: fear not tho friends it's not all doom and gloom. We still know how to have a good time here on the beach in the face of adversity!
	8:30pm Kat in Chicago: Ha, I started my show with this track on Monday. Doing a protest show on this topic was tricky, considering I broadcast on the airwaves of a Catholic (albeit Jesuit) university… I made no personal comments in mic breaks, just let the music and track titles speak for themselves
	8:30pm DJ Babs: right now I'm battling a terrible cold so please bear with my throaty tone tonight, lol. Summer cold boooooooooo
	8:30pm DJ Babs: oh jeez kat! That is a very tough one but I'm sure doing that show must have alleviated at least some rage/pressure....
	8:31pm Kat in Chicago: I liked Angry Courtney
	8:31pm Derek Westerholm: Kat, sounds like the right way to do it, in-so-much as sneaking the right content in under the radar of those who would censor it.
	8:31pm Derek Westerholm: "I liked Angry Courtney" would be a good tee-shirt.
	8:32pm Kat in Chicago: Yeah I couldn’t just do a regular show.
	8:32pm DJ Babs: and agreed. The music is doing a fine job I don't need to say much. one thing I will say is that it's already been incredible to see how many women are standing up, speaking out...up here in Canada I've had several conversations about how we can help women in the US gain access here and offering places to stay, support, access...that's so encouraging. Ya can't fuck with the sisterhood!!!
	8:32pm DJ Babs: dunno about you but I burn with the rage of a million suns right now. this...helps.
	8:34pm Mr Fab: Here for a bit!
	8:34pm laurapanic: my regional city in Australia had a really big march last night, in response to the overturning of Roe v Wade. It was big. Because its another chance for us to say patriarchy is fucked.
	8:34pm Alli B: I actually yelled back at the recycling guy cat calling me today. YOU GOT A VASECTOMY, BRO?
	8:34pm laurapanic: we still have access to abortion here. Legally. But the resources to actually get one are very poor, especially if you don't live in a city. Same everywhere i guess
	8:35pm laurapanic: nice on Alli. Sigh.
	8:35pm shellioh: hello guys ❤️
	8:36pm Kat in Chicago: I gotta make something for dinner now that it’s cooled off enough to be in the kitchen. Still listening!
	8:36pm laurapanic: clicky star most songs. clicky star show
	8:36pm Alli B: Never been more of a fuck you where it hurts thing to say these days that gets them to STFU real quick
	8:37pm Alli B: PUSSY POWER
	8:37pm Kat in Chicago: I have mostly aged out of being catcalled but if someone does I’m borrowing that one, Alli
	8:37pm DJ Babs: laura, that's awesome...and alli I love that you are such a goddamn fighter who takes no shit. It's fucking scary though. I keep thinking about the woman who was set on fire in the subway here a few weeks ago. And in ottawa,three women were murdered by a man who had been charged with sexual assault and stalking and fucking RELEASED. What the hell is that?!
	8:37pm Kat in Chicago: Ooh Poison Girls
	8:39pm DJ Babs: I will say tho...I am so greatful and it is wonderful to see how many of the men I know have joined as allies in solidarity. That is...very meaningful.
	8:39pm laurapanic: its fucking hard going isn't it Babs? I have no patience left for this shit. But am old and want to protect all my little babby ladies. #punkauntie
	8:39pm Alli B: I’ll probably get stabbed one of these days tbh lol
	8:39pm Derek Westerholm: Laura, glad there's more clicky-star material... Even when the world is wrong, there's excellent music to be had & people working hard to set things right.
	8:39pm DJ Babs: It's a sad thing to say, but yeah. I expect it too someday.
	8:39pm Derek Westerholm: Alli, please don't get stabbed.
	8:39pm Kat in Chicago: I’m seeing that too Babs
	8:40pm laurapanic: yes babs, lots of men speaking out, need more always.....always
	8:40pm laurapanic: MUSIC SAVES
	8:40pm shellioh: ❤️❤️❤️
	8:40pm DJ Babs: It fucking sure as shit does.
	8:41pm Kat in Chicago: (Re male allies)
	8:41pm DJ Babs: hello lovely Shelli!! Thank you for joining us tonight!!
	8:41pm Derek Westerholm: The news has been depressing and terrible lately. Like, entirely, fully, completely depressing and terrible.
	8:42pm Alli B: I mean, I love that we’re getting support , but it should be a given. Nonetheless, thanks to the supportive allies for sure.
	8:42pm Alli B: Just gotta look for the helpers, Derek
	8:43pm DJ Babs: Agreed. Mr. Rogers was so right. Looking for the helpers. There are still more helpers out there than non helpers.
	8:43pm DJ Nico: Hello hello
	8:44pm Alli B: In due credit, it was Mr Rogers Mom who said it him ❤️
	8:44pm DJ Babs: Hello lovely Nico!!! And thanks Alli...Bless Mr. Rogers mum....
	8:44pm Derek Westerholm: Agreed Alli, all lives should be unoppressed. It's so disheartening that this is not a given.
	8:44pm Derek Westerholm: Hello Nico!
	8:46pm VinylVillainSean: hola!
	8:47pm Derek Westerholm: Hey there VVS! Hello!
	8:48pm Mr Fab: Men are speaking out because it effects us all - more babies means more poverty from those who can't afford to have kids (which is why they wanted an abortion in the first place), and more poverty means more crime. It has a ripple effect thru out all of society. As 'Freakonomics' pointed out, the crime rate dropped down like a roller coaster after the passing of Roe v Wade. Sometimes my science side comes out. Class dismissed!
	8:48pm DJ Babs: Sean! Hello Hello!! and I don't think I got to say hi to Mr. Fab! So great to see you!!
	8:50pm DJ Babs: I agree Fab. Access to abortion makes for a better society. My family was a foster family...and seeing firsthand the misery that these children who were unwanted, so severely abused were subjected to. It was...horrific.
	8:51pm laurapanic: I <3 science
	8:52pm ultradamno: Of course, it seems a lot of the people who want to ban reproductive rights also benefit from demagoguing on crime, hmmm
	🏝 8:52pm Scott67: I'm quiet for now, only because I'm usually quite articulate. But in the face of Christofascist Dogma I erupt into expletives & wishes they were in a pit of maggot ridden human shit! To me that's as rational as their arguments anyway. 🍻😎🤙
	8:53pm Mr Fab: Think you got a career in death-metal lyrics there, Scott!
	8:54pm ultradamno: Spelled that way to highlight Gideon, perhaps
	8:54pm Alli B: @scott67 🤌🤌🤌👏👏👏
	8:55pm DJ Babs: goddamn scott hellz yes.
	🏝 8:55pm Scott67: Docu-Metal mate! If I could make it happen, I would! & I'm usually such a loving, friendly bloke!? Cheers!🍻😎🤙
	8:56pm VinylVillainSean: Hi Babs, Derek, Alli, Nico and anyone else I'm missing! Miss you all
	8:57pm Alli B: SEANNNNN! 😄
	8:57pm Mr Fab: It's almost cocktail o'clock. And armagettin' thirsty.
	8:57pm laurapanic: steals Scott's words for lyrics
	8:57pm Alli B: T!!! 😀
	8:57pm DJ Nico: Derek Babs Alli Shelli Sean ♥️
	🏝 8:58pm Scott67: All yours Laura! Just give me a mention on the Album Cover mate! 😎🤙🌻
	8:58pm Alli B: Still so light out! Hell-o summer!
	🏝 8:59pm Scott67: Cheers Fab!🍻😎🤙💨🍹🍸
	8:59pm VinylVillainSean: Is there fireworks going off?
	9:00pm Alli B: I dunno if there are fireworks. Deboned not celebrating Canadá Day though
	9:01pm Alli B: Umm, autocorrect. That was meant to say definitely not deboned 😅
	9:01pm Derek Westerholm: VVS... Yes, The Clash enjoyed some fireworks during the making of that song
	9:01pm Alli B: Oh soz haha
	9:02pm laurapanic: Scott I love the idea of having the lyric "I'm usually quite articulate" ....perfect.
	9:02pm Derek Westerholm: So though there may be holiday fireworks outdoors over here, there were also some fireworks in the music, haha.
	9:02pm DJ Babs: there should be fireworks tomorrow but also there's supposed to be thunderstorms so NATURES FIREWORKS
	9:03pm Mr Fab: Getting deboned is quite a drastic weight-loss measure! Maybe try cutting back on sweets first?
	9:03pm DJ Babs: ya need yer bonez! it's what holds us up!
	🏝 9:04pm Scott67: I think a lotta blokes should be De-boned!🗡️🍆
	9:04pm Alli B: Guts in a meat sack otherwise!
	9:04pm Alli B: Wicked song
	9:05pm Derek Westerholm: Ultradamno -- "Spelled that way to highlight Gideon, perhaps" -- Good observation!
	🏝 9:05pm Scott67: Larson's 'Boneless Chicken Ranch' in mind now!
	9:05pm Alli B: @scott67 speaking the hard truth! 👏
	9:06pm DJ Babs: time to dance! I love a good dystopian dance!
	9:06pm Derek Westerholm: Hello Fab, Hello Shelli... Don't think I said hello yet.
	9:06pm Alli B: Babs hahaha same 😂😂😂
	9:06pm DJ Babs: bette midler had a great quote that viagra should be outlawed next because if man needs a pill to get hard it is gods will he doesn't lol.
	9:07pm Alli B: Fair is fair
	9:07pm DJ Babs: right?!
	9:07pm RohanSJ: Hello all...I'm here at the Beach for the first time in a while!
	9:08pm VinylVillainSean: Hey Rohan!
	9:08pm RohanSJ: Hey Sean!
	9:08pm DJ Babs: hi Rohan!!! so great to see you! It's beena while!!!
	9:08pm Alli B: ROHAN
	9:09pm RohanSJ: ALLI
	9:09pm RohanSJ: Hi Babs! Yes, it's been a while and I'm very happy to be here today!
	🏝 9:09pm Scott67: I'm an Atheist, can I still take it?... In future, if ever needed? Asking for a friend.
	9:10pm DJ Babs: lolz it's still legal so yep go for it scotty!! ;-)
	9:10pm Mr Fab: You guys know about all these LA bands that I don't know, haha. Granted, i don't really follow the club listings anymore, cuz of course for a couple years, there was no need. I really got out of the habit.
	9:10pm Derek Westerholm: The alarm bells are sounding for other rights that are next to be trampled. Once justice can be overturned and society pushed backwards, the bullies of ]this world will keep pushing to see how far they can oppress.
	🏝 9:11pm Scott67: I have zero need yet Babs. Also zero partner so that's also a thing.
	9:11pm Derek Westerholm: Hello Rohan!
	9:11pm DJ Babs: Mr Fab I was gonna ask you if you knew aabout Jimmy Smack! HE is..uhhh fascinating!!!
	9:12pm Mr Fab: Ah, Jimmy Smack - now I remember this guy! The Anti-Club, good times.
	9:12pm Alli B: I’m ready to fight! FUCK THIS SHIT
	9:13pm DJ Babs: yes! Apparently he was a member of the LA ballet company...and he performed in corpsepaint and you think that the drone is synth but it's GODDAMN BAGPIPES
	9:13pm DJ Babs: Bag
	9:13pm DJ Babs: pipes
	🏝 9:13pm Scott67: I like Jimmy's smack!🍻😎🤙
	9:14pm Mr Fab: Bagpipes! I recall that he played violin, but clearly I'm losing what's left of my memory.
	🏝 9:14pm Scott67: Fuck shit up Ali! 🍻😎🤙💜
	9:16pm Alli B: I do :)
	9:16pm laurapanic: THIS FREE KITTEN SONG RULLLLES. vid is also very cool
	🏝 9:17pm Scott67: Like what I'm hearin too Laura!😎🤙💨🐈‍⬛
	🏝 9:21pm Scott67: We have fucked the right wing Liberal Party off since! 🍻😎🤙🌏
	9:22pm ultradamno: 100 Flowers had Motorboat To Hell, which would be much faster...
	🏝 9:23pm WR: Auntie Patriotic !
	🏝 9:24pm Kat in Chicago: I'm going to an Anti-Fourth noise show on Saturday night :)
	9:24pm DJ Babs: honestly scott it's a bloody mess.
	9:25pm DJ Babs: Kat that sounds FABULOUS!
	🏝 9:26pm Kat in Chicago: My very angry Asian femme friend is performing, among others. It's happening in a bookstore/art store
	9:26pm ultradamno: I remember the first time I saw DOA Joey Shithead went on a lengthy rap in favor of the Vancouver 5. That was quite a kerfuffle some Subhumans were involved in then...
	9:29pm DJ Babs: I support all angry Asian femmes. very, very strongly. ❤️
	9:29pm DJ Babs: Ultradamno omg yes. Joey Shithead definitely can be most divisive...
	9:30pm Mr Fab: For all the Americans who want to "move to Canada," er, ya better check who won the recent Quebec elections: www.wsws.org... So you might was well stay here...
	9:32pm ultradamno: Off to Mexico...unless they use the wall against us, DAMNIT!
	9:32pm DJ Babs: oh yeah. We are definitely no better here. We just re elected a populist fuckhead in ontario who made his pitch on lower gas prices...ugh. And Quebec. Well..Quebec is uhhh "special".
	9:33pm DJ Babs: as one of my Brown friends said "at least in the West and in Quebec they're openly racist...I'd rather that"
	🏝 9:34pm Kat in Chicago: Yeah the article is actually about that Ontario creep
	9:34pm DJ Babs: to your previous point about the Vancouver 5 Ultradamno, I'm all for taking on any company potentially fuelling an increased risk of nuclear warfare...
	9:36pm DJ Babs: omg don't even get me started about Doug Ford. "FOLKS HERES CHEAPER GAS FOR YOUR SUVS" and we fucking bought it. Well. we didn't in the cities. But a lot of people outside of the city and in certain parts of the city sure as shit did. It's crazy how people forgot his mishandling of covid. And his decimation of our healthcare system. It's...fucked.
	🏝 9:36pm Kristine: Hello!
	9:36pm ultradamno: As I remember (I have it on cassette somewhere) Shithead said "one of the places they bombed was where they made guidance systems for cruise missiles, I think they deserve a medal for that" or words to that effect...
	9:36pm DJ Babs: Hi Kristine!!! Welcome to our angry little show tonight! LOL. Got a grievance political or otherwise AIR IT HERE.
	9:37pm DJ Babs: and yes, ultradamno that's exactly what they were doing....
	9:37pm Mr Fab: And speaking of "Cruel Britannia," Boris' UK voted to leave the EU, so don't know if England's much of an option, either. (When i hear newsreaders pronounce "EU" it sounds like "eeeeww...")
	9:37pm RohanSJ: New meaning for ON AIR
	🏝 9:37pm Kristine: ehhhhhhh too chill to be angry.had such a nice time seeing you humans last week. made my week!!
	9:38pm ultradamno: And I recall being told the porn shops they targeted were trafficking in stuff involving minors under the table as well.
	9:38pm VinylVillainSean: The worst is now the province is allowing rental hikes. Ford's just helping his rich buddies out who rent out the houses and buildings in the province. I can barely afford to rent a 1 bedroom unit on my own in this damn city.
	9:39pm Derek Westerholm: The far-right is tightening its grip everywhere it can. Here is no exception. Money just wants to multiply itself at the cost of the rest of us. It's happening worldwide. It seems every right-leaning govt is getting more emboldened too w/ successive wins.
	9:39pm ultradamno: On Ford, it's so odd the families that manage to establish political dynasties sometimes
	🏝 9:40pm Kristine: how can we be unhappy listening to this blissful brazilian music??
	9:40pm Derek Westerholm: Kristine, hello! We are less chill today, ha. Sorry about that, though, yes, I threw in some Tom Zé to cheer us all up!
	9:41pm VinylVillainSean: lol I love this music
	9:41pm DJ Babs: I am loving this. Loving it!!
	9:42pm Derek Westerholm: Me too! I especially love Tom Zé
	9:42pm DJ Babs: Sean I have some Meridian Brothers coming your way too!!!
	9:42pm VinylVillainSean: I want to edit a video of politicians screaming at each other at Queen's Park while this music plays
	9:42pm VinylVillainSean: Wooo! Thanks for getting me onto them Babs! I love them
	🏝 9:42pm Kristine: yeah, in this day and age with covid and stuff, more and more people are isolated at home, we are being trained to be defeated
	🏝 9:43pm Kristine: damn, you guys are really making an effort to turn the tide to be more chill. this jah wabble is wonderful!!
	9:44pm RohanSJ: I had no idea that this track existed – not that I would, but it's still remarkable
	9:44pm Alli B: Sean I love that idea!
	🏝 9:45pm Scott67: I should start a Refuge down here for Intelligent Americans. 🍻😎🤙🌏
	9:46pm Mr Fab: yeah, but where would I go, Scott?!
	🏝 9:46pm Scott67: Not that intelligence is any guarantee you're not still a fuckwit!
	9:46pm RohanSJ: NFAs: Non-Fuckwit Americans
	🏝 9:47pm Scott67: Fab, I wasn't born mad, the Human World made me this way.
	🏝 9:48pm Scott67: Spot on Rohan!🍻😎🤙
	9:48pm DJ Babs: Sean please make that video! And yes I feel like we are turning a corner here in our programming which was the plan! I'm so excited for these last sets!
	9:51pm DJ Nico: Really enjoyed the tunes 🎵
	🏝 9:51pm Kat in Chicago: I'm so glad Dark Entries is acquainting more people with Algebra Suicide
	🏝 9:52pm Kristine: this sounds like a lovely mix of young marble giants and the space lady. this rocks!!!!
	9:52pm DJ Babs: right!? I freaking love this tune.
	9:52pm Alli B: This song
	9:53pm DJ Babs: Dark Entries is giving us gifts continually with their reisssues...they have impeccable taste!!
	🏝 9:53pm Kat in Chicago: Lydia is no longer with us, alas. Don plays polka rock now
	9:53pm DJ Babs: ok I am very very excited about this song playing now.
	9:54pm DJ Babs: STRIDENT WOMEN AND SKRONKY SAX YES
	9:55pm Mr Fab: looks like I got a theme song.
	9:55pm Derek Westerholm: If you're going to make a step sideways from minimal synth Coldwave, "polka rock" seems like the logical choice.
	9:55pm RohanSJ: I'm being summoned to pet a kitty in the next room, and it will take 20 minutes. I'll still be able to hear the broadcast, but won't be in the chat, so I'll now say: THANK YOU BABS AND DEREK! And WFMU!
	🏝 9:55pm Kat in Chicago: Yep! One that wouldn't be out of place on Darryl's show
	9:55pm Derek Westerholm: Mr. Fab, haha... True!!!
	9:56pm DJ Babs: Thank you Rohan! It was so so lovely to have you joining us tonight! Stay safe and well!!!!
