	👻 9:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:02 Great set-up tonight, Krys! You put on a great show.
	9:03pm Krys O.: Quiznos!!! HA!
	9:03pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @9:02 Thank you kindly.
	9:03pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Best sandwich shop was Brueggers.
	9:04pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Reminds me of the Nacirema.
	👻 9:04pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:03 I don't think we have that one out here.
	9:05pm Charles: Hello ㋛
	9:05pm Krys O.: Mr. Hand!
	👻 9:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:05 Yay! Now the party can start!
	9:06pm Charles: Great show Krys O!
	9:06pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Brueggers is no more. Great bagel sammiches
	9:06pm ramencity: why hello there
	9:06pm Aitch: Very fine wiggling
	9:06pm Geoff-U: Mid-Valley University is a party school
	9:07pm JM in Texas: Hello everyone! Austin, thx for “The Journey” postcard I received yesterday. I plan on enjoying while at work tonight.
	9:07pm Krys O.: ↳ Charles @9:06 Merci!
	9:08pm ramencity: I know how to show a fella a good time!
	👻 9:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:08 It's very true! I had such a good time, I woke up $200 poorer! But it was well worth it.
	9:09pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "Di-Li-Do" by "Bulgarian State Radio & Television ... Oooh, so nice to hear this.
	👻 9:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @9:06 We only serve small-batch beer brews, though. We're fancy.
	9:10pm Mr. X: Thank you everyone for letting me share with you one of my favorite hobbies, traditional ethnic music from around the globe!
	👻 9:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:10 Yay! Mr. X is here!
	9:10pm ramencity: ↳ Mr. X @9:10 It's Xeres' State of the Union!
	9:12pm Mr. X: ↳ ramencity @9:10 Exactly! I was worried about going up against Biden's tonight.
	👻 9:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Teasing Song" by "[unknown]" I have become very enamored with this song, since Xeres introduced me to it.
	👻 9:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:12 This is appointment listening! I can watch the SoTU on youtube during my break tomorrow.
	9:16pm Mr. X: The Mystic Lamps of Yore!
	👻 9:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:16 It's just four lava lamps. REALLY GOOVY ONES! But... you know... we didn't spend a lot of dough, is what I'm sayin'.
	9:17pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Clever show tonight
	👻 9:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:17 I love how much it has to do with trees and other plantlife. Oregon is pretty much one gigantic forest, with a desert off to the east, and... well, the Mid-Valley.
	9:19pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I don't have room for 4 lava lamos. The disco ball and lightning ball take up too much room
	9:19pm Mr. X: Actually, I find alternate history stories kind of annoying. So I tried to accentuate the annoying.
	9:20pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: my mom had two Didgeridoos
	9:21pm JM in Texas: 🤞we are treated to some Soriah tonight.
	9:22pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: My mom was an Australian war bride who came over on the Mariposa in 1946.
	9:23pm HyperDose: Evening Austin and co!
	👻 9:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ HyperDose @9:23 Nice to see you, HyperDose.
	👻 9:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:22 Wow! That sounds like an incredible story. There's a book that needs to be written. Do you know more of her story?
	9:26pm JM in Texas: Austin, you engineering WTC? was my introduction to Soriah so many years ago and I thank you/RW for that!
	9:26pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: A little, she said that war brides weren't well received and got chastised for "stealing" American men.
	👻 9:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ JM in Texas @9:26 I really miss working with Ricardo on that show. We got to work with some really interesting artists, and they were always doing cool stuff. I miss that about not living in Portland anymore.
	👻 9:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:26 Ooof. That's awful (and, unfortunately, probably common). I'm sorry. I bet there's a way to tell her story, and make it more of a celebration.
	👻 9:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Chorus of Men's Voices with Harp" by "[unknown]" Mr. X: weren't you telling me this was one of your first records, when you were nine?
	9:29pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Chorus of Men's Voices with Harp" by "[unknown]" Out of print. I talked my Dad into buying this record when I was about 9 years old, based on nothing but curiosity.
	👻 9:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:29 Did you have many records, or music, that was yours, before this?
	9:31pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:29 One of my dad's first dozen or so records after we moved to Oregon. He sold all his older records in Ohio.
	9:31pm Geoff-U: I hear Vietnamese dan bao! I saw a live traditional orchestra in Hanoi with an incredible dan bao player
	👻 9:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:31 Certainly, we didn't have any music that wasn't rock and roll in the house, when I was a kid. I recall hearing music from other countries in my 20s, and having many epiphanies about how narrow my experience was.
	9:32pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:30 I didn't start buying my own records until a year or so later. They were 10 cent 45s from the cut-out bin at PayLess. I think my first one was "Pressed Rat and Warthog" by Cream, because I liked the name.
	9:32pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:29 I sent you a pic of her the day she arrived
	👻 9:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @9:31 Very cool! Yeah, I do love this song that Mr. X included. I should probably get this album, as it sounds great.
	9:33pm Mr. X: ↳ Geoff-U @9:31 I'm jealous! It's so lovely.
	9:34pm Geoff-U: This literally sounds like the exact song I posted a video of on youtube!
	👻 9:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:32 She's beautiful! Look at her. She even looks a little like you, of course.
	9:34pm Geoff-U: it must be traditional - the fidelity of my recording isn't as good at all
	9:36pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:34 What is even more amazing is that trait we actually share is that we're both adopted.
	👻 9:37pm Austin Rich: Mr. X was wise to suggest that we don't try to pronounce the names of songs or artists for this show. While I'm often game to charge forward with a name under normal circumstances, I feel like it would just be a string me me mangling names and titles, and that is definitely not good radio.
	9:38pm Mr. X: ↳ Geoff-U @9:34 Were you in Hanoi as a tourist, or for business? How is the food?
	👻 9:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:36 Oh, wow! Of course, but still. That's incredible!
	9:39pm Krys O.: Such a joyous show, Thank you, Austin. Good night, All
	👻 9:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:39 Sleep well Krys! Thanks for joining us!
	9:39pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Krys O. @9:39 Good night
	9:42pm Scott_Oz: G'day Austin & Mutants! Welcome back X! Just back from a beer run, 30C out there now. 🌏☀️🍻😎🤙💨🍺🍺
	9:42pm Geoff-U: ↳ Mr. X @9:38 Tourist! The food was fabulous :) Halong Bay is surreal an highly recommended
	9:43pm Mr. X: ↳ Geoff-U @9:42 Nice!
	👻 9:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:42 I was worried about you not having any beer in weather like that. Glad you were able to fix that.
	9:44pm Mr. X: ↳ Geoff-U @9:42 Goodday, mate!
	9:44pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Interesting music tonight. Touches the heart in various ways
	9:44pm Mr. X: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:42 Goodday, mate!
	9:45pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Geoff-U @9:42 Drinking Vietnamese Beer right now! Hope to one day be drinking Bier Hoi on the streets of Hanoi. 🌏☀️🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	9:45pm Mr. X: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:44 Thanks, glad to hear that.
	9:46pm Geoff-U: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:45 Yum! I didn't manage to hit a bia hoi joint but I did have some truly amazing local plum wine and brandy
	9:46pm Mr. X: I mean, we weren't about to attempt to say "Söörtükchülerining." Would you?
	9:48pm drowsy: I was hoping for some throat singing, and I knew just where to go. Hello Austin and friends.
	9:48pm JM in Texas: Song Of The Caravan Drivers is something else. Oddly, it’s reminding me of a Cajun song, but I can’t remember who?
	9:49pm Pauly from Clifton: Hey Austin, gang! Listening whilst doing dishes and putting away leftovers. Lovely!
	9:49pm Mr. X: ↳ drowsy @9:48 I mean, it really clears out the phlegm, just to listen to it.
	9:50pm WR: ↳ Austin Rich @9:37 Since it is internet radio, people can see the playlist with the details. Great variety! Have been enjoying and will continue to listen while sorting and filing here.
	9:50pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Pauly from Clifton @9:49 Chuck ya leftovers over here mate!?? 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	9:51pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:50 Chorizo and black bean stuff (mebbe chili?) coming your way with a local lager!
	9:52pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Austin Rich @9:43 Beer, coffee & bog roll are my never be withouts mate! 🍺😎🤙☕🧻
	9:52pm Heather: Popping in to say hi and awesome show! Been listening and painting some and super enjoying this awesome story and soundtrack!
	9:53pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Pauly from Clifton @9:51 Shit hot cobber!💨🍲🍺🖐️😎
	👻 9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather @9:52 Still the same painting?
	9:54pm ramencity: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:53 Fossicking about in Pauly's fridge?
	9:54pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @9:54 Still the same! I'm so slow!!
	9:55pm Mr. X: I'm sorry, too, Mitch. And Kraftwerk rules!
	👻 9:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather @9:54 That can lead to better results, honestly.
	👻 9:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:55 To be fair, last summer, Mitch and their friends did try to kill all humans over the course of several weeks. So... maybe we shouldn't celebrate EVERY aspect of Robot Culture.
	9:56pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @9:55 When one is a painter, yes! I'm still having fun with it, though! Yesss Kraftwerk!!!
	9:56pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ Geoff-U @9:46 Geoff-U, Scotty, never heard of bia hoi joints, but from what I read every town should have these communal places!
	9:56pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:56 Robots will be robots. I think it's cute how they want to destroy all humans.
	👻 9:57pm Austin Rich: My mom, when she had closed her record store by had a lot of the backstock still, gave me this Kraftwerk album, and another, and two Devo albums. She said she didn't really know what to do with them, and thought I would like the weird music.
	9:57pm Heather: ↳ Mr. X @9:56 And, I mean, they have a point, don't they?
	👻 9:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather @9:57 I do agree with them in some ways. But... you know how it is. A place in time to put all time in it's place. Or... something like that.
	10:00pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @9:57 And she was right! 😊
	10:00pm Mr. X: ↳ Heather @9:57 We are a pain in the diodes.
	10:01pm Heather: ↳ Mr. X @10:00 We're even a pain in MY diodes!
	10:02pm Will thee Sound Guy: Hi Austin Rich and all!!!
	👻 10:03pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""12 O'Clock"" by "Vangelis" I should acknowledge that this was, and is, the opening theme music to "Over The Edge," started by Don Joyce and now hosted by Wobbly and KROB, and was one of the most informative radio experiences of my life. I spent years just listening to old Over the Edge episodes and imagining what I would do if I had a show. So now I'm doing those things, I hope. But I always think of Over The Edge when I listen to this song, and this album, because it is such a strong song in general, and I heard it at the beginning of every OTE episode.
	👻 10:03pm Austin Rich: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @10:02 Nice to see you in the chat, Will!
	👻 10:04pm Austin Rich: I found this, and many, MANY other Vangelis albums, for a dollar apiece at various thrift stores. In some ways, he's still not very respected, and his albums aren't collectible. But they're all very unique, and evocative of the strange places electronic music can take us.
	10:04pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Pauly from Clifton @9:56 Too right mate! Any civilized society should have these little street bars with cheap beer & food carts close by. 🍜😎🤙🍻
	10:05pm drowsy: ↳ Austin Rich @10:04 I am glad you are curating tho to find the gems.
	10:10pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:04 Hey Austin! Thanx for this trippy trip around the globe. And yes, for years i would always check the "electronic" section. It was usually pretty skimpy, and all those Vangelis (and Tangerine Dream, and Jean-Michel Jarre, and W. Carlos and Tomita) albums were in every one. And they all cost only a couple bucks. Probably still do.
	10:10pm Mr. X: Of course, you have to pass the test to get the credits for this course.
	10:12pm drowsy: Am I missing a good parking lot story? Got a distinct attendant vibe. (en.wikipedia.org...)
	10:12pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Does anyone else here remember body Ritual Among the Nacirema?
	👻 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:10 Oh yeah, you still find Tomita and Tangerine Dream all over the place. But I have yet to find a Jean-Micahel Jarre record in the wild. I have a couple Carlos records, but most the Switch on Bach stuff. The other Carols albums are becoming a little more rare, because people are hip now. But I think Tomita is still for nerds.
	10:12pm Mr. X: First question on the test is: How do you pronounce "Söörtükchülerining?"
	10:13pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: This lecture sort of reminds me of that dissertation
	👻 10:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ drowsy @10:12 I haven't seen that one! Sounds pretty good, though.
	10:13pm Mr. X: ↳ drowsy @10:12 I liked that movie. It may have influenced me a little, yes.
	10:14pm drowsy: ↳ Mr. X @10:13 Excellent.
	👻 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:13 I had to google that one. Sounds interesting.
	10:16pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:14 It is. I actually have an appointment with the holy mouth man tomorrow. Lol.
	👻 10:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:16 I probably need to see the dentist soon. I have a regular doctor's appointment tomorrow, just to make sure I'm not going completely off the rails, medically. She's nice, but I always feel like I'm failing at test at the doctor's office, and I have never feel like I know how to pass it.
	10:17pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:12 That's amazing about Jarre! Seemed like copies of "Oxygene" and "Équinoxe" followed me around from store to store. Maybe he was big in L.A., and Jarre-mania skipped OR.
	👻 10:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:17 Perhaps. I've been wanting to get both of those albums recently, just thinking about holes in my collection. Now that I'm in way less stores in general, might be time to get them off discogs or something.
	10:19pm Mr Fab: seeing Gamelan orchestras live is recommended. Quite the visual treat, as well as musical. Ornately decorated instruments being hit with little hammers n things by beautifully dressed musicians.
	10:20pm Mr. X: ↳ Mr Fab @10:19 Yes! On my bucket list for sure!
	10:20pm Scott_Oz: Equinoxe & Roxy Music Avalon where the 1st albums I ever bought myself. Still got both.
	10:21pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: My appointment is 930 so going to get some sleep so I don't doze off in the chair.
	👻 10:21pm Austin Rich: I really appreciate the flow and vibe of the selections tonight, Mr. X. It's both beautiful and strange, and a nice dose of fun. Thanks!
	👻 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:21 Sleep well! See ya next time.
	👻 10:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Scott_Oz @10:20 Two solid choices there! Well done.
	10:22pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:21 G'night
	10:22pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:21 Aww, shucks! Thanks Austin! 'Twas a labor of love.
	10:23pm Scott_Oz: Gamalan can accompany Wayang Kulit Shadow Puppet Shows that often go all night
	10:23pm Heather: ↳ Mr. X @10:22 It's awesome stuff!! Truly, mesmerizing and lovely!
	10:24pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Campanas De Santa Cruz" by "Los Incas (aka Urubam... The reason we put "Andes region" instead of a specific country, is because the band members are from all over the area.
	10:24pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Austin Rich @10:22 Cheers Austin, my good taste developed early mate.
	10:25pm Mr. X: ↳ Heather @10:23 Thank you! I had a feeling the Sheena's crowd would be open to it.
	👻 10:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ Scott_Oz @10:24 I've been looking for a copy of Avalon of my own for a while. I have a digital version, but I want the record! But people are not parting with their vintage Roxy Music albums without asking for a pretty penny. And all of my pennies are not very pretty these days.
	10:26pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Song: "Awakenings" by "[unknown] - Kiparra" That's the bird sounds of Kakadu country.
	10:26pm Mr. X: ↳ Scott_Oz @10:26 Nice! I think they add a lot to the ambience of this.
	10:27pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Austin Rich @10:25 I have both Vinyl & later CD mate.
	👻 10:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Scott_Oz @10:27 Jealous! I bet I could order one easily, but it just doesn't feel the same as stumbling upon a deal in a store. Which I don't go to a lot of stores anymore, but still.
	10:28pm Aitch: ↳ Austin Rich @10:25 Just got a good copy of Avalon LP for $15AUD, so about $10USD
	10:28pm Mr. X: ↳ Mr. X @10:26 Pardon my French, ambiance in English.
	👻 10:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Aitch @10:28 I should probably just order it.
	10:29pm Scott_Oz: The shrieking ones are Rainbow Lorikeet.
	10:30pm drowsy: ↳ Song: "Ovdoviala Lissitchkata (The Fox Has Lost His Cubs... Love this album!
	👻 10:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Ovdoviala Lissitchkata (The Fox Has Lost His Cubs... Oh no! I hope the Fox recovers his cubs. How scary.
	10:30pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Aitch @10:28 Less than I paid new in early 80's mate!
	10:30pm Mr. X: ↳ Scott_Oz @10:29 Are you a birder, then? Or just everyone knows rainbow lorikeets?
	10:32pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Ovdoviala Lissitchkata (The Fox Has Lost His Cubs... Saw them live at the Hult Center in Eugene, around 1992ish. Incredibly powerful yet charming as all get out.
	10:32pm Geoff-U: 200 Yang did some tape loops (like, physical 1/4" tape loops") of the Bulgarian women's choir
	10:32pm drowsy: ↳ Mr. X @10:32 wow. that is awesome.
	10:33pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Mr. X @10:30 I'm a little 'Twitchy' mate. But yeah Rainbow Lorikeet are pretty ubiquitous all down east coast & moving inland. & they're rowdy opportunistic buggers.
	10:35pm Heather: Please do call in! I'm real fun on Valentine's Day, I swear!
	10:36pm Geoff-U: Cooking: I'm making veg Indian (masoor dal and an Oregon mushroom shorvedar khumbi) and playing with two new spices I got today - asafetida and whole dried kashmiri chilis. Both are amazing!
	10:37pm drowsy: ↳ Geoff-U @10:36 Nice!
	10:37pm Geoff-U: asafetida is sort of like garlic powder squared and the kashmiri chilis are warm, sweet and dark. Not too spicy, with caramel notes, just wonderful
	10:38pm Heather: ↳ Geoff-U @10:37 That sounds delicious!!
	👻 10:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:32 I saw my first concert - Robert Palmer - at the Hult Center. My mom took me, as it was really her show. I recall being disappointed, as a 13 year old boy, that the girls from the Robert Palmer videos were not a part of the stage show.
	👻 10:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Cambodian Traditional Melody" by "[unknown] "Asia... I love this instrument.
	👻 10:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:41 Also seen at the Hult Center: an incredible Tom Waits show on the Mule Variations tour, and I spent $50 in 1990's money to see it!
	10:42pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:41 You wanted to Sneak Sally Down the Alley?
	10:44pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Geoff-U @10:37 Didn't know it was like Garlic? Hare Krishna use Asafetida Powder because their faith doesn't allow Garlic or Onion in the diet. Excites the 'fires' apparently. Being that sex for pleasure & booze are also a no no, prob for the best.
	👻 10:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:42 A reference I would not have gotten when I was 13, because it wasn't "Addicted To Love" or "Simply Irresistible."
	10:45pm Scott_Oz: I have the hair to be Hare Krishna. But not the abstinence. Life too fucken short. 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	10:46pm Geoff-U: ↳ Scott_Oz @10:44 Yeah asafetida is used as a garlic replacement by those who don't eat alliums (because the edible part of garlic, onions etc. grows underground I think?)
	👻 10:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Honey Gathering Song" by "[unknown]" I have been trying to collect Folkways records. I don't have this one.
	10:47pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Rich and Beautiful Mutants
	10:47pm Mr. X: When I was 19 I went on a hitchhiking trip, and the only place I could find to stay the night in Houston was a Hare Krishna temple. Man, they put sugar in everything.
	10:47pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Geoff-U @10:46 Ahhh! So do they eat Potato?
	10:47pm coelacanth∅: (been tuned in for maybe an hour)
	10:47pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:47 It's a classic.
	👻 10:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:47 Hey! It's coelacanthø! Nice to see you in the chat.
	10:47pm Geoff-U: btw I consistently made the worst Indian food ever until I got Madhur Jaffrey's book "Quick & Easy Indian Cooking" - recommneded!
	10:48pm Scott_Oz: Carrot, Beetroot, Peanuts the list for dirt dwelling delights is endless!
	👻 10:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:47 I think ramencitykid had a copy, because I'm pretty sure I've heard it before.
	👻 10:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @10:47 That is a tip I will take to work tomorrow. Thanks!
	10:50pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Mr. X @10:47 So they don't mind hooking ya with Sugar? They should run Diabetes Centres too.
	10:50pm Heather: ↳ Geoff-U @10:46 This is awesome! I have a friend who can't eat allium! Texting them about asafoetida right now! You've just improved someone's life immensely!
	10:51pm Mr. X: ↳ Scott_Oz @10:50 Exactly! I couldn't sleep that night because I was afraid they would shave my head in my sleep.
	10:51pm Geoff-U: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:47 Hiii :waves:
	👻 10:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:47 How hard was it to get around everywhere hitchhiking? I can't imagine doing that now, but maybe it's actually very easy and common, even.
	10:51pm Scott_Oz: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:47 G'day coel! Did you get banned from chat last week too mate, Or just me? 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	10:52pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:51 It was brutal, actually.
	10:52pm coelacanth∅: Scott @1044 yes another absurd religion with absurd rules! ...a krishna i worked with said garlic and onion are "food of the lower people"; and when i asked why they don't eat mushrooms she exclaimed "they pop up overnight!". i waited for an elaboration but that was the extent of the reasoning.
	10:53pm Mr. X: ↳ Mr. X @10:52 My longest wait was 5 hours in the hail in San Diego, CA.
	10:53pm coelacanth∅: hey (@1051) Geoff-U!
	👻 10:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:52 Once, as a teen, I hitchhiked with some friends, when we made some poor choices and wound up win Sisters without a car or transport back to Cottage Grove. It was a poor decision, but some hippies picked us up and give us beer, even. They had wonderful dogs and didn't mind the stories, and yes, of course they were on their way to Eugene. But that's the only experience I have with it, and it felt very dangerous then.
	👻 10:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:53 Yikes!
	👻 10:54pm Austin Rich: I guess we're gonna go over! Whoops!
	10:55pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:54 Yeah, I was always being rescued by hippies. No one else gave a f***.
	10:56pm coelacanth∅: haha Scott i'd decided to ban myself! ...then i decided to check that and yes! i checked again a few days later and was cleared; but this is actually the first show i'm posting on since then.
	10:57pm Geoff-U: My slightly unhinged high school friend Mike decided he wanted to live free and go ride the freight trains around America... but no one told him that some diesel freight trains go through very long tunnels with little ventilation because they weren't meant to have people on them out in the open. He was OK but had some very scary incidents where he thought he was going to suffocate
	👻 10:57pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:55 It was funny, living in Eugene, how you develop a love / hate relationship with hippies, unlike the Haight / Ashbury relationship most people had.
	10:57pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:54 I had a feeling we would.
	10:58pm Heather: Getting near that time! Thanks for the awesome show, Mr. X and Austin! Good night, all!
	👻 10:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @10:57 Yeah, train hopping is a whole other level. It's not like in the 30's.
	10:58pm ERIK / VermonT: Thanks so much for reminding me of Over the Edge / Negativland / church of the sub genius ! Indeed … hearing that stuff back in the 1980s was flabbergasting ! ❤️
	👻 10:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @10:58 It really split open my head. I didn't realize radio could be like that, until I heard what Don Joyce was doing with Negativland. Truly spectacular.
	10:59pm Mr. X: ↳ Heather @10:58 Thanks for joining the fun, Heather! See ya next time!
	👻 10:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather @10:58 Good night, Heather!
	11:00pm coelacanth∅: i worked in a store with an extensive bulk herbs selection and we got asafetida in by request. i'd heard it was like garlic, but i didn't think it smelled like garlic. it was so smelly that it had to be hermetically sealed and not sold by the ounce after all. it smelled up the whole store! i never tasted it; the smell scared me off - which is unusual.
	11:00pm coelacanth∅: i'd like to try it now though.
	11:01pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Luu Thuy" by "Hoa Tau" Vietnam gets to play three times because they're just that good.
	11:01pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Svatba (The Wedding)" by "Bulgarian State Radio &... Bulgaria too.
	👻 11:02pm Austin Rich: On the subject of trains: my dad worked for SP Railroad for years, and occasionally, for work purposes, they would jump up on trains and ride them for the sake of convenience. (They were often both going to the same place.) But even then, they had the advantage of knowing where each line was going and would end up to make sure they picked the right train.
	👻 11:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @11:01 Bulgaria and Vietnam would be excellent places to visit someday, and not just for the music.
	11:04pm coelacanth∅: my friend George and i used to jump freights to the next town, when we were ~13. we hung out on the train track almost every day, just because. trains.
	👻 11:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:04 Trains are cool. But I was rightfully nervous enough as a youth to know what not to do. And as a result, I still have all 11 fingers and toes. I mean 10. Humans have 10 fingers, of course!
	11:06pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @11:05 Mitch might need to count them, to make sure.
	11:06pm coelacanth∅: yes, 10 toes per hand!
	11:06pm Geoff-U: I lived one house over from the train tracks in Eugene (2nd and Monroe) and we greatly enjoy flattening all manner of small metal objects on the tracks
	👻 11:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @11:06 Oh yeah. You can get some very weird and cool metal thanks to trains. My dad used to collect stuff he would find at derailments, and other weird train accidents.
	11:08pm ramencity: ↳ Geoff-U @11:06 Ha! I used to live on 4th + Monroe..
	11:09pm coelacanth∅: we flattened a lot of coins but i was very responsible about not derailing a train, not knowing what the limit was. George put a horse shoe on the track once and i removed it before the train came!
	11:10pm Geoff-U: Good ole whitaker! I wonder if Camper Van Beethoven listened to this before they made their first two records :D
	11:10pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Hutzulka W Semereczni" by "Ukrainska Orchestra" In solidarity with the people of Ukraine!
	11:11pm Geoff-U: Great show Mr X and Austin! Really enjoyed this.
	11:11pm Mr. X: ↳ Geoff-U @11:11 Thanks!
	11:13pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Rich! Thanks Mr.X?
	👻 11:13pm Austin Rich: Yeah, I have to give all credit to Mr. X and Mitch. They did the real work. I just sat back and enjoyed the tunes.
	11:13pm Scott_Oz: Thanks Austin & Mr.X for the awesome Global Odyssey! 🌏☀️🍻😎🤙💨🍺🍺
	11:13pm Mr. X: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:13 You're welcome!
	11:14pm Mr. X: I really appreciate the open ears and open minds here in Sheena's Jungle Room! Thanks for listening, friends!
	11:14pm Mr. X: ↳ Scott_Oz @11:13 You bet!
	11:16pm coelacanth∅: ... i was confused ...Thanks y'all! good night, moon

Mid-Valley Mutations with Austin Rich: Playlist from February 7, 2023

View austinrich's profile

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

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

	9:03pm Krys O.: Quiznos!!! HA!
	9:03pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @9:02 Thank you kindly.
	9:03pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Best sandwich shop was Brueggers.
	9:04pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Reminds me of the Nacirema.
	👻 9:04pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:03 I don't think we have that one out here.
	9:05pm Charles: Hello ㋛
	9:05pm Krys O.: Mr. Hand!
	👻 9:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:05 Yay! Now the party can start!
	9:06pm Charles: Great show Krys O!
	9:06pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Brueggers is no more. Great bagel sammiches
	9:06pm ramencity: why hello there
	9:06pm Aitch: Very fine wiggling
	9:06pm Geoff-U: Mid-Valley University is a party school
	9:07pm JM in Texas: Hello everyone! Austin, thx for “The Journey” postcard I received yesterday. I plan on enjoying while at work tonight.
	9:07pm Krys O.: ↳ Charles @9:06 Merci!
	9:08pm ramencity: I know how to show a fella a good time!
	👻 9:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:08 It's very true! I had such a good time, I woke up $200 poorer! But it was well worth it.
	9:09pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "Di-Li-Do" by "Bulgarian State Radio & Television ... Oooh, so nice to hear this.
	👻 9:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @9:06 We only serve small-batch beer brews, though. We're fancy.
	9:10pm Mr. X: Thank you everyone for letting me share with you one of my favorite hobbies, traditional ethnic music from around the globe!
	👻 9:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:10 Yay! Mr. X is here!
	9:10pm ramencity: ↳ Mr. X @9:10 It's Xeres' State of the Union!
	9:12pm Mr. X: ↳ ramencity @9:10 Exactly! I was worried about going up against Biden's tonight.
	👻 9:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Teasing Song" by "[unknown]" I have become very enamored with this song, since Xeres introduced me to it.
	👻 9:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:12 This is appointment listening! I can watch the SoTU on youtube during my break tomorrow.
	9:16pm Mr. X: The Mystic Lamps of Yore!
	👻 9:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:16 It's just four lava lamps. REALLY GOOVY ONES! But... you know... we didn't spend a lot of dough, is what I'm sayin'.
	9:17pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Clever show tonight
	👻 9:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:17 I love how much it has to do with trees and other plantlife. Oregon is pretty much one gigantic forest, with a desert off to the east, and... well, the Mid-Valley.
	9:19pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I don't have room for 4 lava lamos. The disco ball and lightning ball take up too much room
	9:19pm Mr. X: Actually, I find alternate history stories kind of annoying. So I tried to accentuate the annoying.
	9:20pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: my mom had two Didgeridoos
	9:21pm JM in Texas: 🤞we are treated to some Soriah tonight.
	9:22pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: My mom was an Australian war bride who came over on the Mariposa in 1946.
	9:23pm HyperDose: Evening Austin and co!
	👻 9:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ HyperDose @9:23 Nice to see you, HyperDose.
	👻 9:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:22 Wow! That sounds like an incredible story. There's a book that needs to be written. Do you know more of her story?
	9:26pm JM in Texas: Austin, you engineering WTC? was my introduction to Soriah so many years ago and I thank you/RW for that!
	9:26pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: A little, she said that war brides weren't well received and got chastised for "stealing" American men.
	👻 9:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ JM in Texas @9:26 I really miss working with Ricardo on that show. We got to work with some really interesting artists, and they were always doing cool stuff. I miss that about not living in Portland anymore.
	👻 9:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:26 Ooof. That's awful (and, unfortunately, probably common). I'm sorry. I bet there's a way to tell her story, and make it more of a celebration.
	👻 9:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Chorus of Men's Voices with Harp" by "[unknown]" Mr. X: weren't you telling me this was one of your first records, when you were nine?
	9:29pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Chorus of Men's Voices with Harp" by "[unknown]" Out of print. I talked my Dad into buying this record when I was about 9 years old, based on nothing but curiosity.
	👻 9:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:29 Did you have many records, or music, that was yours, before this?
	9:31pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:29 One of my dad's first dozen or so records after we moved to Oregon. He sold all his older records in Ohio.
	9:31pm Geoff-U: I hear Vietnamese dan bao! I saw a live traditional orchestra in Hanoi with an incredible dan bao player
	👻 9:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:31 Certainly, we didn't have any music that wasn't rock and roll in the house, when I was a kid. I recall hearing music from other countries in my 20s, and having many epiphanies about how narrow my experience was.
	9:32pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:30 I didn't start buying my own records until a year or so later. They were 10 cent 45s from the cut-out bin at PayLess. I think my first one was "Pressed Rat and Warthog" by Cream, because I liked the name.
	9:32pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:29 I sent you a pic of her the day she arrived
	👻 9:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @9:31 Very cool! Yeah, I do love this song that Mr. X included. I should probably get this album, as it sounds great.
	9:33pm Mr. X: ↳ Geoff-U @9:31 I'm jealous! It's so lovely.
	9:34pm Geoff-U: This literally sounds like the exact song I posted a video of on youtube!
	👻 9:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:32 She's beautiful! Look at her. She even looks a little like you, of course.
	9:34pm Geoff-U: it must be traditional - the fidelity of my recording isn't as good at all
	9:36pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:34 What is even more amazing is that trait we actually share is that we're both adopted.
	👻 9:37pm Austin Rich: Mr. X was wise to suggest that we don't try to pronounce the names of songs or artists for this show. While I'm often game to charge forward with a name under normal circumstances, I feel like it would just be a string me me mangling names and titles, and that is definitely not good radio.
	9:38pm Mr. X: ↳ Geoff-U @9:34 Were you in Hanoi as a tourist, or for business? How is the food?
	👻 9:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:36 Oh, wow! Of course, but still. That's incredible!
	9:39pm Krys O.: Such a joyous show, Thank you, Austin. Good night, All
	👻 9:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:39 Sleep well Krys! Thanks for joining us!
	9:39pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Krys O. @9:39 Good night
	9:42pm Scott_Oz: G'day Austin & Mutants! Welcome back X! Just back from a beer run, 30C out there now. 🌏☀️🍻😎🤙💨🍺🍺
	9:42pm Geoff-U: ↳ Mr. X @9:38 Tourist! The food was fabulous :) Halong Bay is surreal an highly recommended
	9:43pm Mr. X: ↳ Geoff-U @9:42 Nice!
	👻 9:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:42 I was worried about you not having any beer in weather like that. Glad you were able to fix that.
	9:44pm Mr. X: ↳ Geoff-U @9:42 Goodday, mate!
	9:44pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Interesting music tonight. Touches the heart in various ways
	9:44pm Mr. X: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:42 Goodday, mate!
	9:45pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Geoff-U @9:42 Drinking Vietnamese Beer right now! Hope to one day be drinking Bier Hoi on the streets of Hanoi. 🌏☀️🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	9:45pm Mr. X: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:44 Thanks, glad to hear that.
	9:46pm Geoff-U: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:45 Yum! I didn't manage to hit a bia hoi joint but I did have some truly amazing local plum wine and brandy
	9:46pm Mr. X: I mean, we weren't about to attempt to say "Söörtükchülerining." Would you?
	9:48pm drowsy: I was hoping for some throat singing, and I knew just where to go. Hello Austin and friends.
	9:48pm JM in Texas: Song Of The Caravan Drivers is something else. Oddly, it’s reminding me of a Cajun song, but I can’t remember who?
	9:49pm Pauly from Clifton: Hey Austin, gang! Listening whilst doing dishes and putting away leftovers. Lovely!
	9:49pm Mr. X: ↳ drowsy @9:48 I mean, it really clears out the phlegm, just to listen to it.
	9:50pm WR: ↳ Austin Rich @9:37 Since it is internet radio, people can see the playlist with the details. Great variety! Have been enjoying and will continue to listen while sorting and filing here.
	9:50pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Pauly from Clifton @9:49 Chuck ya leftovers over here mate!?? 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	9:51pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:50 Chorizo and black bean stuff (mebbe chili?) coming your way with a local lager!
	9:52pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Austin Rich @9:43 Beer, coffee & bog roll are my never be withouts mate! 🍺😎🤙☕🧻
	9:52pm Heather: Popping in to say hi and awesome show! Been listening and painting some and super enjoying this awesome story and soundtrack!
	9:53pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Pauly from Clifton @9:51 Shit hot cobber!💨🍲🍺🖐️😎
	👻 9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather @9:52 Still the same painting?
	9:54pm ramencity: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:53 Fossicking about in Pauly's fridge?
	9:54pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @9:54 Still the same! I'm so slow!!
	9:55pm Mr. X: I'm sorry, too, Mitch. And Kraftwerk rules!
	👻 9:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather @9:54 That can lead to better results, honestly.
	👻 9:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:55 To be fair, last summer, Mitch and their friends did try to kill all humans over the course of several weeks. So... maybe we shouldn't celebrate EVERY aspect of Robot Culture.
	9:56pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @9:55 When one is a painter, yes! I'm still having fun with it, though! Yesss Kraftwerk!!!
	9:56pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ Geoff-U @9:46 Geoff-U, Scotty, never heard of bia hoi joints, but from what I read every town should have these communal places!
	9:56pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:56 Robots will be robots. I think it's cute how they want to destroy all humans.
	👻 9:57pm Austin Rich: My mom, when she had closed her record store by had a lot of the backstock still, gave me this Kraftwerk album, and another, and two Devo albums. She said she didn't really know what to do with them, and thought I would like the weird music.
	9:57pm Heather: ↳ Mr. X @9:56 And, I mean, they have a point, don't they?
	👻 9:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather @9:57 I do agree with them in some ways. But... you know how it is. A place in time to put all time in it's place. Or... something like that.
	10:00pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @9:57 And she was right! 😊
	10:00pm Mr. X: ↳ Heather @9:57 We are a pain in the diodes.
	10:01pm Heather: ↳ Mr. X @10:00 We're even a pain in MY diodes!
	10:02pm Will thee Sound Guy: Hi Austin Rich and all!!!
	👻 10:03pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""12 O'Clock"" by "Vangelis" I should acknowledge that this was, and is, the opening theme music to "Over The Edge," started by Don Joyce and now hosted by Wobbly and KROB, and was one of the most informative radio experiences of my life. I spent years just listening to old Over the Edge episodes and imagining what I would do if I had a show. So now I'm doing those things, I hope. But I always think of Over The Edge when I listen to this song, and this album, because it is such a strong song in general, and I heard it at the beginning of every OTE episode.
	👻 10:03pm Austin Rich: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @10:02 Nice to see you in the chat, Will!
	👻 10:04pm Austin Rich: I found this, and many, MANY other Vangelis albums, for a dollar apiece at various thrift stores. In some ways, he's still not very respected, and his albums aren't collectible. But they're all very unique, and evocative of the strange places electronic music can take us.
	10:04pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Pauly from Clifton @9:56 Too right mate! Any civilized society should have these little street bars with cheap beer & food carts close by. 🍜😎🤙🍻
	10:05pm drowsy: ↳ Austin Rich @10:04 I am glad you are curating tho to find the gems.
	10:10pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:04 Hey Austin! Thanx for this trippy trip around the globe. And yes, for years i would always check the "electronic" section. It was usually pretty skimpy, and all those Vangelis (and Tangerine Dream, and Jean-Michel Jarre, and W. Carlos and Tomita) albums were in every one. And they all cost only a couple bucks. Probably still do.
	10:10pm Mr. X: Of course, you have to pass the test to get the credits for this course.
	10:12pm drowsy: Am I missing a good parking lot story? Got a distinct attendant vibe. (en.wikipedia.org...)
	10:12pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Does anyone else here remember body Ritual Among the Nacirema?
	👻 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:10 Oh yeah, you still find Tomita and Tangerine Dream all over the place. But I have yet to find a Jean-Micahel Jarre record in the wild. I have a couple Carlos records, but most the Switch on Bach stuff. The other Carols albums are becoming a little more rare, because people are hip now. But I think Tomita is still for nerds.
	10:12pm Mr. X: First question on the test is: How do you pronounce "Söörtükchülerining?"
	10:13pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: This lecture sort of reminds me of that dissertation
	👻 10:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ drowsy @10:12 I haven't seen that one! Sounds pretty good, though.
	10:13pm Mr. X: ↳ drowsy @10:12 I liked that movie. It may have influenced me a little, yes.
	10:14pm drowsy: ↳ Mr. X @10:13 Excellent.
	👻 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:13 I had to google that one. Sounds interesting.
	10:16pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:14 It is. I actually have an appointment with the holy mouth man tomorrow. Lol.
	👻 10:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:16 I probably need to see the dentist soon. I have a regular doctor's appointment tomorrow, just to make sure I'm not going completely off the rails, medically. She's nice, but I always feel like I'm failing at test at the doctor's office, and I have never feel like I know how to pass it.
	10:17pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:12 That's amazing about Jarre! Seemed like copies of "Oxygene" and "Équinoxe" followed me around from store to store. Maybe he was big in L.A., and Jarre-mania skipped OR.
	👻 10:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:17 Perhaps. I've been wanting to get both of those albums recently, just thinking about holes in my collection. Now that I'm in way less stores in general, might be time to get them off discogs or something.
	10:19pm Mr Fab: seeing Gamelan orchestras live is recommended. Quite the visual treat, as well as musical. Ornately decorated instruments being hit with little hammers n things by beautifully dressed musicians.
	10:20pm Mr. X: ↳ Mr Fab @10:19 Yes! On my bucket list for sure!
	10:20pm Scott_Oz: Equinoxe & Roxy Music Avalon where the 1st albums I ever bought myself. Still got both.
	10:21pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: My appointment is 930 so going to get some sleep so I don't doze off in the chair.
	👻 10:21pm Austin Rich: I really appreciate the flow and vibe of the selections tonight, Mr. X. It's both beautiful and strange, and a nice dose of fun. Thanks!
	👻 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:21 Sleep well! See ya next time.
	👻 10:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Scott_Oz @10:20 Two solid choices there! Well done.
	10:22pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:21 G'night
	10:22pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:21 Aww, shucks! Thanks Austin! 'Twas a labor of love.
	10:23pm Scott_Oz: Gamalan can accompany Wayang Kulit Shadow Puppet Shows that often go all night
	10:23pm Heather: ↳ Mr. X @10:22 It's awesome stuff!! Truly, mesmerizing and lovely!
	10:24pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Campanas De Santa Cruz" by "Los Incas (aka Urubam... The reason we put "Andes region" instead of a specific country, is because the band members are from all over the area.
	10:24pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Austin Rich @10:22 Cheers Austin, my good taste developed early mate.
	10:25pm Mr. X: ↳ Heather @10:23 Thank you! I had a feeling the Sheena's crowd would be open to it.
	👻 10:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ Scott_Oz @10:24 I've been looking for a copy of Avalon of my own for a while. I have a digital version, but I want the record! But people are not parting with their vintage Roxy Music albums without asking for a pretty penny. And all of my pennies are not very pretty these days.
	10:26pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Song: "Awakenings" by "[unknown] - Kiparra" That's the bird sounds of Kakadu country.
	10:26pm Mr. X: ↳ Scott_Oz @10:26 Nice! I think they add a lot to the ambience of this.
	10:27pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Austin Rich @10:25 I have both Vinyl & later CD mate.
	👻 10:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Scott_Oz @10:27 Jealous! I bet I could order one easily, but it just doesn't feel the same as stumbling upon a deal in a store. Which I don't go to a lot of stores anymore, but still.
	10:28pm Aitch: ↳ Austin Rich @10:25 Just got a good copy of Avalon LP for $15AUD, so about $10USD
	10:28pm Mr. X: ↳ Mr. X @10:26 Pardon my French, ambiance in English.
	👻 10:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Aitch @10:28 I should probably just order it.
	10:29pm Scott_Oz: The shrieking ones are Rainbow Lorikeet.
	10:30pm drowsy: ↳ Song: "Ovdoviala Lissitchkata (The Fox Has Lost His Cubs... Love this album!
	👻 10:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Ovdoviala Lissitchkata (The Fox Has Lost His Cubs... Oh no! I hope the Fox recovers his cubs. How scary.
	10:30pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Aitch @10:28 Less than I paid new in early 80's mate!
	10:30pm Mr. X: ↳ Scott_Oz @10:29 Are you a birder, then? Or just everyone knows rainbow lorikeets?
	10:32pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Ovdoviala Lissitchkata (The Fox Has Lost His Cubs... Saw them live at the Hult Center in Eugene, around 1992ish. Incredibly powerful yet charming as all get out.
	10:32pm Geoff-U: 200 Yang did some tape loops (like, physical 1/4" tape loops") of the Bulgarian women's choir
	10:32pm drowsy: ↳ Mr. X @10:32 wow. that is awesome.
	10:33pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Mr. X @10:30 I'm a little 'Twitchy' mate. But yeah Rainbow Lorikeet are pretty ubiquitous all down east coast & moving inland. & they're rowdy opportunistic buggers.
	10:35pm Heather: Please do call in! I'm real fun on Valentine's Day, I swear!
	10:36pm Geoff-U: Cooking: I'm making veg Indian (masoor dal and an Oregon mushroom shorvedar khumbi) and playing with two new spices I got today - asafetida and whole dried kashmiri chilis. Both are amazing!
	10:37pm drowsy: ↳ Geoff-U @10:36 Nice!
	10:37pm Geoff-U: asafetida is sort of like garlic powder squared and the kashmiri chilis are warm, sweet and dark. Not too spicy, with caramel notes, just wonderful
	10:38pm Heather: ↳ Geoff-U @10:37 That sounds delicious!!
	👻 10:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:32 I saw my first concert - Robert Palmer - at the Hult Center. My mom took me, as it was really her show. I recall being disappointed, as a 13 year old boy, that the girls from the Robert Palmer videos were not a part of the stage show.
	👻 10:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Cambodian Traditional Melody" by "[unknown] "Asia... I love this instrument.
	👻 10:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:41 Also seen at the Hult Center: an incredible Tom Waits show on the Mule Variations tour, and I spent $50 in 1990's money to see it!
	10:42pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:41 You wanted to Sneak Sally Down the Alley?
	10:44pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Geoff-U @10:37 Didn't know it was like Garlic? Hare Krishna use Asafetida Powder because their faith doesn't allow Garlic or Onion in the diet. Excites the 'fires' apparently. Being that sex for pleasure & booze are also a no no, prob for the best.
	👻 10:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:42 A reference I would not have gotten when I was 13, because it wasn't "Addicted To Love" or "Simply Irresistible."
	10:45pm Scott_Oz: I have the hair to be Hare Krishna. But not the abstinence. Life too fucken short. 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	10:46pm Geoff-U: ↳ Scott_Oz @10:44 Yeah asafetida is used as a garlic replacement by those who don't eat alliums (because the edible part of garlic, onions etc. grows underground I think?)
	👻 10:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Honey Gathering Song" by "[unknown]" I have been trying to collect Folkways records. I don't have this one.
	10:47pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Rich and Beautiful Mutants
	10:47pm Mr. X: When I was 19 I went on a hitchhiking trip, and the only place I could find to stay the night in Houston was a Hare Krishna temple. Man, they put sugar in everything.
	10:47pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Geoff-U @10:46 Ahhh! So do they eat Potato?
	10:47pm coelacanth∅: (been tuned in for maybe an hour)
	10:47pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:47 It's a classic.
	👻 10:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:47 Hey! It's coelacanthø! Nice to see you in the chat.
	10:47pm Geoff-U: btw I consistently made the worst Indian food ever until I got Madhur Jaffrey's book "Quick & Easy Indian Cooking" - recommneded!
	10:48pm Scott_Oz: Carrot, Beetroot, Peanuts the list for dirt dwelling delights is endless!
	👻 10:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:47 I think ramencitykid had a copy, because I'm pretty sure I've heard it before.
	👻 10:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @10:47 That is a tip I will take to work tomorrow. Thanks!
	10:50pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Mr. X @10:47 So they don't mind hooking ya with Sugar? They should run Diabetes Centres too.
	10:50pm Heather: ↳ Geoff-U @10:46 This is awesome! I have a friend who can't eat allium! Texting them about asafoetida right now! You've just improved someone's life immensely!
	10:51pm Mr. X: ↳ Scott_Oz @10:50 Exactly! I couldn't sleep that night because I was afraid they would shave my head in my sleep.
	10:51pm Geoff-U: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:47 Hiii :waves:
	👻 10:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:47 How hard was it to get around everywhere hitchhiking? I can't imagine doing that now, but maybe it's actually very easy and common, even.
	10:51pm Scott_Oz: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:47 G'day coel! Did you get banned from chat last week too mate, Or just me? 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	10:52pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:51 It was brutal, actually.
	10:52pm coelacanth∅: Scott @1044 yes another absurd religion with absurd rules! ...a krishna i worked with said garlic and onion are "food of the lower people"; and when i asked why they don't eat mushrooms she exclaimed "they pop up overnight!". i waited for an elaboration but that was the extent of the reasoning.
	10:53pm Mr. X: ↳ Mr. X @10:52 My longest wait was 5 hours in the hail in San Diego, CA.
	10:53pm coelacanth∅: hey (@1051) Geoff-U!
	👻 10:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:52 Once, as a teen, I hitchhiked with some friends, when we made some poor choices and wound up win Sisters without a car or transport back to Cottage Grove. It was a poor decision, but some hippies picked us up and give us beer, even. They had wonderful dogs and didn't mind the stories, and yes, of course they were on their way to Eugene. But that's the only experience I have with it, and it felt very dangerous then.
	👻 10:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:53 Yikes!
	👻 10:54pm Austin Rich: I guess we're gonna go over! Whoops!
	10:55pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:54 Yeah, I was always being rescued by hippies. No one else gave a f***.
	10:56pm coelacanth∅: haha Scott i'd decided to ban myself! ...then i decided to check that and yes! i checked again a few days later and was cleared; but this is actually the first show i'm posting on since then.
	10:57pm Geoff-U: My slightly unhinged high school friend Mike decided he wanted to live free and go ride the freight trains around America... but no one told him that some diesel freight trains go through very long tunnels with little ventilation because they weren't meant to have people on them out in the open. He was OK but had some very scary incidents where he thought he was going to suffocate
	👻 10:57pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:55 It was funny, living in Eugene, how you develop a love / hate relationship with hippies, unlike the Haight / Ashbury relationship most people had.
	10:57pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:54 I had a feeling we would.
	10:58pm Heather: Getting near that time! Thanks for the awesome show, Mr. X and Austin! Good night, all!
	👻 10:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @10:57 Yeah, train hopping is a whole other level. It's not like in the 30's.
	10:58pm ERIK / VermonT: Thanks so much for reminding me of Over the Edge / Negativland / church of the sub genius ! Indeed … hearing that stuff back in the 1980s was flabbergasting ! ❤️
	👻 10:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @10:58 It really split open my head. I didn't realize radio could be like that, until I heard what Don Joyce was doing with Negativland. Truly spectacular.
	10:59pm Mr. X: ↳ Heather @10:58 Thanks for joining the fun, Heather! See ya next time!
	👻 10:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather @10:58 Good night, Heather!
	11:00pm coelacanth∅: i worked in a store with an extensive bulk herbs selection and we got asafetida in by request. i'd heard it was like garlic, but i didn't think it smelled like garlic. it was so smelly that it had to be hermetically sealed and not sold by the ounce after all. it smelled up the whole store! i never tasted it; the smell scared me off - which is unusual.
	11:00pm coelacanth∅: i'd like to try it now though.
	11:01pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Luu Thuy" by "Hoa Tau" Vietnam gets to play three times because they're just that good.
	11:01pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Svatba (The Wedding)" by "Bulgarian State Radio &... Bulgaria too.
	👻 11:02pm Austin Rich: On the subject of trains: my dad worked for SP Railroad for years, and occasionally, for work purposes, they would jump up on trains and ride them for the sake of convenience. (They were often both going to the same place.) But even then, they had the advantage of knowing where each line was going and would end up to make sure they picked the right train.
	👻 11:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @11:01 Bulgaria and Vietnam would be excellent places to visit someday, and not just for the music.
	11:04pm coelacanth∅: my friend George and i used to jump freights to the next town, when we were ~13. we hung out on the train track almost every day, just because. trains.
	👻 11:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:04 Trains are cool. But I was rightfully nervous enough as a youth to know what not to do. And as a result, I still have all 11 fingers and toes. I mean 10. Humans have 10 fingers, of course!
	11:06pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @11:05 Mitch might need to count them, to make sure.
	11:06pm coelacanth∅: yes, 10 toes per hand!
	11:06pm Geoff-U: I lived one house over from the train tracks in Eugene (2nd and Monroe) and we greatly enjoy flattening all manner of small metal objects on the tracks
	👻 11:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @11:06 Oh yeah. You can get some very weird and cool metal thanks to trains. My dad used to collect stuff he would find at derailments, and other weird train accidents.
	11:08pm ramencity: ↳ Geoff-U @11:06 Ha! I used to live on 4th + Monroe..
	11:09pm coelacanth∅: we flattened a lot of coins but i was very responsible about not derailing a train, not knowing what the limit was. George put a horse shoe on the track once and i removed it before the train came!
	11:10pm Geoff-U: Good ole whitaker! I wonder if Camper Van Beethoven listened to this before they made their first two records :D
	11:10pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Hutzulka W Semereczni" by "Ukrainska Orchestra" In solidarity with the people of Ukraine!
	11:11pm Geoff-U: Great show Mr X and Austin! Really enjoyed this.
	11:11pm Mr. X: ↳ Geoff-U @11:11 Thanks!
	11:13pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Rich! Thanks Mr.X?
	👻 11:13pm Austin Rich: Yeah, I have to give all credit to Mr. X and Mitch. They did the real work. I just sat back and enjoyed the tunes.
	11:13pm Scott_Oz: Thanks Austin & Mr.X for the awesome Global Odyssey! 🌏☀️🍻😎🤙💨🍺🍺
	11:13pm Mr. X: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:13 You're welcome!
	11:14pm Mr. X: I really appreciate the open ears and open minds here in Sheena's Jungle Room! Thanks for listening, friends!
	11:14pm Mr. X: ↳ Scott_Oz @11:13 You bet!
	11:16pm coelacanth∅: ... i was confused ...Thanks y'all! good night, moon
