	9:12pm Carmichael: Heya Daniel. Hard to shimmer the dancey pants to this atmospheric aura.
	♥ 9:13pm tim from washington: ↳ Bruce Adams @9:04 Hello Bruce! I recently moved back to Champaign after being gone for four years. I thoroughly enjoyed your book! 90s kranky releases were incredibly formative for me. I’m sorry that I missed your talk at the Urbana Free.
	9:13pm Miss G: ↳ Carmichael @9:12 L Carmichael, what's fun, is to do the regular dancing, but very very very slowly, to this. . ..
	9:14pm BruceAdams: ↳ Miss G @9:12 Thank you Tim. Perhaps there will be other opportunities. I still have to do something at the Champaign Library.
	♥ 9:15pm tim from washington: ↳ BruceAdams @9:14 Very good! I’ll keep an ear out.
	9:16pm BruceAdams: The answer will be whispered on the prairie winds...
	9:16pm Miss G: ↳ tim from washington @9:15 But tim, you and harold et al are not in washington? you are where the novel _gain_ is set?

	9:26pm Miss G: ↳ tim from washington @9:22 Oh, I hope that area is treating you all well! Ah, _Gain_ is one of my pantheon top novels. I was re-reading _Orfeo_ by the same author and listening to the music, but some things became unsettled here. I'll get there soon.
	♥ 9:27pm tim from washington: Hey RRN! I came across as series of art books today called The Library of Esoterica and thought it might be up your alley: www.taschen.com...
	9:28pm Miss G: ↳ Song: "Remapping" by "Pan•American" Ah, ha, that was Mark Nelson from Labradford, that was beautiful.
	9:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tim from washington @9:27 Thx for thinking of me !
	♥ 9:28pm tim from washington: ↳ Miss G @9:26 Oooh, I’ll check that out soon.
	♥ 9:31pm Daniel Blumin: The Sound of Young Albania - Bruce, the show is not archived anywhere, is it?
	9:32pm BruceAdams: My show existed before that existed. But it is traveling across the cosmos.
	🌫 ♥ 9:32pm ultradamno: That really sounds like a show ripe for re-airing on Sheena's
	🌫 ♥ 9:35pm chresti: My family lived in Wheaton
	🌫 ♥ 9:35pm ultradamno: I saw GP&TR open for Chicago legends Cheap Trick
	♥ 9:36pm tim from washington: Blind Pig!
	9:37pm BruceAdams: ↳ ultradamno @9:35 Cheap Trick is from Rockford, Illinois, the Screw Capital of North America. #Illinois'ed
	9:37pm Miss G: ↳ chresti @9:35 Oh chresti, wow, yeah, I'm sure we drove through Wheaton to go to some campsite or other, from Chicago.
	9:37pm BruceAdams: ↳ tim from washington @9:36 You better believe it.
	9:38pm Miss G: LOL Flipper
	🌫 ♥ 9:38pm ultradamno: I remember Larissa had a guitar autographed by Ron Asheton when I saw Laughing Hyenas
	♥ 9:38pm tim from washington: Whoa! I didn’t realize there was an earlier incarnation of a Stooges re-union.
	♥ 9:39pm tim from washington: ↳ ultradamno @9:38 Yup - and Thurston Moore, Lee Ranaldo and Kim Gordon.
	🌫 ♥ 9:40pm chresti: ↳ Miss G @9:37 We moved to California in'65
	9:40pm BruceAdams: ↳ tim from washington @9:39 That's right.
	♥ 9:41pm tim from washington: I would bet $10 that Blight formed after the Necros and Flipper show.
	🌫 ♥ 9:42pm joe mulligan: I'll never forget receiving the Prazision CD in the mail from Forced Exposure the week it was released, October 1993. completely changed indie music. exploded my mind. that album was so perfect. pretty cool for knocking the first release on the label out of the park
	9:43pm BruceAdams: ↳ joe mulligan @9:42 blushing emoji
	🌫 ♥ 9:43pm Ike: "Inscrutable, repulsive noise" is an excellent phrase indeed. "WFMU, your station for inscrutable, repulsive noise!"
	🌫 ♥ 9:43pm ultradamno: ↳ tim from washington @9:41 Amusingly, I remember Tesco trashing a Flipper trashing a Flipper single (possibly Sex Bomb) in T&G
	🌫 ♥ 9:43pm joe mulligan: ↳ BruceAdams @9:43 so THANK YOU Bruce
	♥ 9:44pm tim from washington: The Dadamah cd was my first Kranky release I picked up.
	9:45pm BruceAdams: ↳ tim from washington @9:44 Early Adopter!
	🌫 ♥ 9:45pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Benares Song" by "Dagmar Krause" Both Dagmar's B,W & E albums are masterful
	9:47pm BruceAdams: ↳ ultradamno @9:45 Absolutely. I was a Young Recommended Records Head. I subscribed to the Quarterly for a couple of years.
	9:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Interview with Bruce Adams Part I" Point taken - but to be fair to the Croz, he was pals with BobDylan & 'Produced' Joni Mitchell's 1st album - so as far as Lyrics go the bar might have been pretty high for him... & one or two Punk records might have been a touch formulaic in retrospect. Not that that's a bad thing by me necessarily even...
	♥ 9:49pm tim from washington: I was gobsmacked to learn in You’reWith Stupid that Magnog were teenagers from Washington. I always assumed they were seasoned psych-o-nauts from the UK.
	9:49pm Miss G: ↳ Song: "Benares Song" by "Dagmar Krause" Ah yes, a gift was given to me in the past, "Lost in the Stars" - Dagmar Krause sang "Surabaya Johnny" -- great to hear this
	9:50pm jojo: Thinking Fellers Union Local 28 should've been on Kranky...a perfect fit if only........
	9:50pm BruceAdams: ↳ jojo @9:50 We couldn't have matched that Matador bag. LOL
	9:51pm Daniel Menche: My fave Laughing Hyenas song ever!!!! Epic!
	🌫 ♥ 9:51pm ultradamno: Everytime I hear LH on woof-moo lately, it occurs to me how much more they sounded like Killdozer than I remembered
	♥ 9:51pm tim from washington: I think the Hyenas are the band I’ve seen most. Larissa really is the best guitarist.
	9:52pm BruceAdams: ↳ Daniel Menche @9:51 Thanks for tuning in Mr. Menche. Respect.
	♥ 9:52pm Chop Scott: Wunderschnapps!
	♥ 9:52pm tim from washington: ↳ ultradamno @9:51 Butch Vig! Brannon doesn’t sound like Yosemite Sam though.
	9:52pm BruceAdams: ↳ tim from washington @9:51 Miss her terribly. So underrated.
	♥ 9:52pm Bobby K: Wr from Mi Media Naranja was the first one that pulled me in and sent me on a Kranky bender
	🌫 ♥ 9:53pm ultradamno: ↳ BruceAdams @9:52 Loved L-Seven too!
	♥ 9:53pm Bobby K: After that I was all in
	9:54pm BruceAdams: ↳ Bobby K @9:52 12 oz of water and some B Complex vitamins before you go to bed will help with that tomorrow morning.
	♥ 9:56pm WR: ↳ BruceAdams @9:54 Seems you are all in and none the worse for it. Thank you for guesting with Daniel and us listeners.
	♥ 9:56pm tim from washington: Excellent choices, Bruce!
	♥ 9:56pm Bobby K: ↳ BruceAdams @9:54 Haha I might just stay up all night listening to records instead
	♥ 9:56pm Daniel Blumin: Menche, all hail! El Choppo, greetz!
	9:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: FMU brings the Treats again. Appreciate this.
	🌫 ♥ 9:58pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Cosmic Couriers Transmitting Germany-USA" by "The... love this!!

	♥ 9:59pm Quinn02: great Kranky selections! always loved this song.
	9:59pm Androu B.: Hi Daniel & Welcome Bruce! Greets, Rev! 🐰💣♏ Bruce, you mentioned working at Cargo Records. Have you ever met Re-Constriction Records founder Chase (who had a distribution deal with Cargo)?
	10:00pm BruceAdams: ↳ Androu B. @9:59 Yes I did meet Chase several times. Once, memorably at the CMJ conference.
	♥ 10:02pm tim from washington: Labradford is a band that started out great but always topped themselves with each record.
	10:02pm BruceAdams: ↳ tim from washington @10:02 /\ THIS
	10:03pm Miss G: such an interesting interview with Mark Nelson I read just now: sun-13.com...
	♥ 10:04pm Quinn02: didn't Labbradford have a phase where they put this high pitched oscillator into everything? or am I thinking of something else?
	🌫 ♥ 10:06pm joe mulligan: ↳ jojo @9:50 they were so San Francisco that I doubt you coulda strained it out of them.. and Caroliner Rainbow..
	♥ 10:09pm Daniel Blumin: Thanks for the linker, Miss G!
	🌫 ♥ 10:10pm ultradamno: Tortoise seemed to have come along right after, I think the feeling there was a glut was in the air
	10:11pm aegidisonus: Hi Bruce, I am curious is Carter Brown still making music?
	10:11pm BruceAdams: ↳ aegidisonus @10:11 I don't believe so.
	♥ 10:11pm Daniel Blumin: aegidisonus, we actually talk about that later!
	10:13pm Robm: Hello fellow listeners
	♥ 10:14pm tim from washington: I need to split unfortunately. This has been great radio! I will pick it up tomorrow in the archives. Thank you Daniel! Thank you Bruce! I’ll keep my antenna up for the CPL event.
	10:15pm BruceAdams: ↳ tim from washington @10:14 Thanks Tim, I'll see you around. As I'm sure you know living in C-U you see everyone eventually.
	10:16pm jonny: was following Whitehouse....1994-2007....during those years....got their early releases at Aeon Records/Kent in Fort Collins, Co
	♥ 10:16pm Daniel Blumin: See ya next week, tim!
	🌫 ♥ 10:17pm joe mulligan: it's so funny how a completely different world introduced me to Stars of the Lid.. WXPN's Chuck van Zyl on his Stars' End show.. www.starsend.org SotL one of my few all-time favorites.
	10:18pm Marie: Hey, Daniel and Bruce, enjoying the interview. I lived in Wicker Park in the 90s--just behind Club Dreamerz. It really was such a fun neighborhood. It kind of spoiled me. The artists, the art scene, the music scene and all the other cultural stuff there like bookshops and music clubs, small restaurants, diversity. Pre-gentrification.
	10:18pm BruceAdams: ↳ joe mulligan @10:17 Chuck was a big supporter from the get go. He'd quoted in the book a few times, too.
	10:19pm BruceAdams: ↳ Marie @10:18 Hey Marie. The gravel patio at Dreamerz was a favorite spot of mine.
	♥ 10:20pm Daniel Blumin: Hiya, Marie - remember visiting in the late 90s and very much enjoying!
	♥ 10:20pm Daniel Blumin: Hola, jonny!
	10:20pm Marie: ↳ BruceAdams @10:19 Hey Bruce, I totally remember that--the damaged gravestones @)
	🌫 ♥ 10:21pm joe mulligan: ↳ BruceAdams @10:18 I had an older brother who had a night security job and he listened to Stars End to keep awake. thanks to my brother he taught me about that sound in the early 80s while I was only 10+ years old
	10:22pm Marie: ↳ Daniel Blumin @10:20 Uh huh. It was a whole lotta fun. It was sad to see it change so much but I guess c'est la vie in terms of gentrification these days
	🌫 ♥ 10:22pm joe mulligan: ↳ Marie @10:18 I hope you saw Big Black. The one band I never got to see
	🌫 ♥ 10:22pm Kat in Chicago: I miss Dreamerz too!
	10:23pm Marie: ↳ joe mulligan @10:22 You know what, Joe. I don't know if I saw them @O @)
	10:23pm BruceAdams: ↳ joe mulligan @10:22 I saw Big Black a bunch of times, as well as R***man.
	🌫 ♥ 10:25pm joe mulligan: ↳ BruceAdams @10:23 must have been so good! I tried to see R***man at Club Revival in Philly but didn't have a fake ID yet so rejected at the door.
	10:26pm Marie: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:22 Yeah, Dreamerz was cool. An ex of mine DJ'd there and like Bruce said, that back patio was nice. Some great bands played there too. And there was this little Mexican restaurant kind of across the street that was great
	🌫 ♥ 10:28pm ultradamno: ↳ joe mulligan @10:22 I did, both the No Bar shows, one of which is represented on Pigpile, I think (?)
	10:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Interview with Bruce Adams Part II" Recently watched some of the Mudhoney doc 'I'm Now'. An interesting exposition of more than a little of this Record Label psychology & behavior...
	10:30pm ami ad: Hello DJ. Hello all.
	🌫 ♥ 10:32pm joe mulligan: ↳ ultradamno @10:28 amazing. how was it?
	🌫 ♥ 10:33pm Ike: Low Low Low Low Low Low Low Low Low Low Low
	10:33pm Miss G: ↳ Song: "Interview with Bruce Adams Part II" Man, this is breaking my heart and bursting my heart, thank you for your words Bruce.
	10:34pm BruceAdams: ↳ Miss G @10:33 It's a little dusty over here, too.
	10:35pm Robm: ↳ Miss G @10:33 This is very interesting
	10:36pm Miss G: ↳ Robm @10:35 Yeah Robm, I have been half asleep since 9:30 but I was so looking forward to this!
	🌫 ♥ 10:36pm joe mulligan: ↳ Miss G @10:33 Yes what you said Miss G. So much joy from the label and hearing it from the legend himself
	10:36pm ?: Great interview!!!
	🌫 ♥ 10:36pm ultradamno: ↳ joe mulligan @10:32 Both shows were awesome in very different ways. The first time was before Atomizer came out and it was sparsely populated. One of those shows where no one was there I wasn't on a first name basis with, so it was especially riveting to watch them that way. The second time was packed and very exciting...also they set off all these firecrackers, which...No Bar was little more than a basement, it was scary and everyone ended up with black gunpowder snot as a result.
	10:38pm BruceAdams: ↳ ultradamno @10:36 Big Black blew out the power at a dormitory restaurant they played at in Ann Arbor. Each time I saw them the drum machine shut down at some point.
	♥ 10:38pm Bobby: This combination of interview, music, and chat has put me in a nice place and made me remember things. Thank you
	🌫 ♥ 10:39pm pot8o: unfortunately i have to head to bed thanks Daniel & Bruce and have a great week everyone!
	♥ 10:39pm Daniel Blumin: ? & Bobby, thank you for tuning in! g'night, pot80!
	🌫 ♥ 10:39pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @10:36 Just before Albini set of the firecrackers, there was this huge gong onstage that belongs to Jon Rans, and Santiago sort of took cover behind it, which didn't instill confidence.
	🌫 ♥ 10:40pm joe mulligan: ↳ ultradamno @10:36 what a trip!! both sound epically epic. stuff of legends
	10:40pm wenzoslaus: This is nice!
	🌫 ♥ 10:40pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Two-Step" by "Low" Beauty! Thanks Daniel and Bruce!
	10:40pm Marie: ↳ Bobby @10:38 me too
	10:41pm Androu B.: ↳ BruceAdams @10:00 Bruce, following up on my last question, have you contacted Chase lately? Last I heard, he was somewhere in Florida.
	🌫 ♥ 10:41pm joe mulligan: ↳ ultradamno @10:39 nothing beats a good measure of tension that comes from fear of "what's gonna happen next" at a show like that
	♥ 10:42pm Daniel Blumin: wenzoslaus & chresti, glad ya dig!
	♥ 10:42pm greg g: Beautiful song and very interesting chat about kranky. thank you Daniel and Bruce.
	10:42pm BruceAdams: ↳ Androu B. @10:41 Androu, I have not been in touch with Chase for many years. I hope he is in good health and doesn't dream of giant centipedes.
	10:43pm Marie: I'll be listening to the archive of this show too, fer sher
	10:43pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: + FMU Interviews Rule +
	🌫 ♥ 10:44pm joe mulligan: ↳ ultradamno @10:39 kind of like when King Coffey would start pouring lighter fluid on the cymbals
	10:44pm BruceAdams: Thanks everyone for the kind words.
	10:44pm Miss G: LD used to talk about Alan and Mimi in such a touching way, not like a NYC sarcastic way, but holding them, tenderly, like a baby bird in the hands. . .
	♥ 10:45pm Daniel Blumin: greg g, happy to have you aboard! Thx, Marie & Rev!
	🌫 ♥ 10:46pm ultradamno: Boy Dirt Car were also wild shows, they'd use the grinder on metal to spray out the sparks and...again, in that space, there's no getting back...
	10:46pm Marie: Thank YOU, Rev Blumin and Bruce!
	🌫 ♥ 10:47pm joe mulligan: thanks for the interview and joining us in the comments Bruce. It's pretty amazing to have one of my heroes among us chatters. the backstories all make the history of the label even more exciting.
	10:47pm Miss G: So sorry, I think I am asleep, it's been a crazy day since early. Thanks so much Daniel B and guest Bruce Adams (book "You're with Stupid") - will look forward to the rest of the interview/show in the archive. I'll have pleasant dreams tonight from the music. . .
	♥ 10:48pm Daniel Blumin: G'night, Miss G!
	10:48pm Marie: ↳ Miss G @10:47 Gdnite, Miss G, sweet dreams
	10:48pm BruceAdams: Thank you Miss G. Joe, I am not a hero. Mrs. Grimm's blue-eyed boy Benjie is a hero.
	10:51pm Marie: I saw the Coctails a few times (Low, too), and Tortoise
	10:52pm lieutenant lambrusco: Loving the show! As every Monday night - makes my week.
	♥ 10:52pm Bobby: ↳ BruceAdams @10:48 Haha I was not ready for the back end of this. At least one person laughed at your reference
	♥ 10:53pm Bobby: ↳ Marie @10:51 Live Low was great! Saw them in Philly a few times
	♥ 10:53pm Daniel Blumin: Thank you kindly, lieut l!

	🌫 ♥ 10:54pm joe mulligan: ↳ Bobby @10:53 do you remember what venue? I was there during college in the late 80s/early 90s
	🌫 ♥ 10:55pm chresti: ↳ Song: "The Bottomless Hole" by "The Handsome Family" Bottomless hole! is it Mel's Hole?
	🌫 ♥ 10:55pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Marie @10:26 OMG is this about Mel's Hole? arb just did a show about that on the Drummer Stream
	10:56pm wenzoslaus: Mel’s Hole!
	🌫 ♥ 10:56pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ chresti @10:55 oh this guy's actually going down the hole
	🌫 ♥ 10:58pm Franco Twinkie: Chresti told me the Mel's Hole show. It sounded fantastic!
	🌫 ♥ 10:58pm chresti: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:56 Ah yes. I want to think it's Mel's Hole they're singing about.
	🌫 ♥ 10:58pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:58 you gotta hear it Franco
	♥ 10:58pm Bobby: ↳ joe mulligan @10:54 Definitely TLA and can’t remember if the other early one was at the Troc
	🌫 ♥ 10:58pm ultradamno: Carrot Top, who also put out the KatJonBand album!
	🌫 ♥ 10:59pm Kat in Chicago: I miss the Coctails too.
	🌫 ♥ 10:59pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:58 I just might do that.

	🌫 ♥ 11:04pm joe mulligan: ↳ Bobby @10:58 both very cool venues. the city had such a good music scene
	🌫 ♥ 11:04pm ultradamno: I know Mark Sultan thought so for a minute or two...he has antics.
	♥ 11:05pm iiibeat: Listened to Zero a few times today . . lol
	🌫 ♥ 11:05pm Kat in Chicago: I won't be Kat in Chicago pretty soon
	🌫 ♥ 11:06pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Kat in Chicago @11:05 Where are you going?

	🌫 ♥ 11:40pm Franco Twinkie: It's always painful to hear how the de-evolution of grass roots culture affects it's creators. Everyone gets old and looses the stamina to push rocks up the hill.

	🌫 ♥ 11:48pm ultradamno: There used to be a film critic called Mr Cranky who only gave bad reviews. I was made to think of him a few times tonight.
	🌫 ♥ 11:48pm northguineahills: ↳ Kat in Chicago @11:46 says kat in CHICAGO ;p no, i have no excuse, i just remember being out of town, or having to play a gig , or going to another gig when one my fave kranky artists were around... now, I've seen Spectrum thrice (sadly, jessamine has never been near me).

	♥ 11:50pm Chef Of The Future: BTW back in the day I used to write down the names of bands I liked while listening to The NAS on WNYU-FM. When I heard the band name Windy & Carl, I wrote down Wendy & Carl. Boy did I feel dumb when I found out their real name. True story!

	9:12pm Carmichael: Heya Daniel. Hard to shimmer the dancey pants to this atmospheric aura.
	♥ 9:13pm tim from washington: ↳ Bruce Adams @9:04 Hello Bruce! I recently moved back to Champaign after being gone for four years. I thoroughly enjoyed your book! 90s kranky releases were incredibly formative for me. I’m sorry that I missed your talk at the Urbana Free.
	9:13pm Miss G: ↳ Carmichael @9:12 L Carmichael, what's fun, is to do the regular dancing, but very very very slowly, to this. . ..
	9:14pm BruceAdams: ↳ Miss G @9:12 Thank you Tim. Perhaps there will be other opportunities. I still have to do something at the Champaign Library.
	♥ 9:15pm tim from washington: ↳ BruceAdams @9:14 Very good! I’ll keep an ear out.

	🌫 ♥ 9:21pm pot8o: hopefully this won't be the last we hear of them today
	♥ 9:22pm tim from washington: ↳ Miss G @9:16 Me and Ol’ Haroldy moved from WA to Champaign this past summer. I’m originally from Michigan as you probably gathered from my show the other night. I’m not familiar with _gain_ Should I seek it out?

	♥ 9:26pm Bobby: ↳ Miss G @9:12 Stars of the Lid gets me through everything
	9:26pm Miss G: ↳ tim from washington @9:22 Oh, I hope that area is treating you all well! Ah, _Gain_ is one of my pantheon top novels. I was re-reading _Orfeo_ by the same author and listening to the music, but some things became unsettled here. I'll get there soon.
	♥ 9:27pm tim from washington: Hey RRN! I came across as series of art books today called The Library of Esoterica and thought it might be up your alley: www.taschen.com...
	9:28pm Miss G: ↳ Song: "Remapping" by "Pan•American" Ah, ha, that was Mark Nelson from Labradford, that was beautiful.
	9:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tim from washington @9:27 Thx for thinking of me !
	♥ 9:28pm tim from washington: ↳ Miss G @9:26 Oooh, I’ll check that out soon.
	♥ 9:31pm Daniel Blumin: The Sound of Young Albania - Bruce, the show is not archived anywhere, is it?
	9:32pm BruceAdams: My show existed before that existed. But it is traveling across the cosmos.
	🌫 ♥ 9:32pm ultradamno: That really sounds like a show ripe for re-airing on Sheena's
	🌫 ♥ 9:35pm chresti: My family lived in Wheaton
	🌫 ♥ 9:35pm ultradamno: I saw GP&TR open for Chicago legends Cheap Trick
	♥ 9:36pm tim from washington: Blind Pig!
	9:37pm BruceAdams: ↳ ultradamno @9:35 Cheap Trick is from Rockford, Illinois, the Screw Capital of North America. #Illinois'ed
	9:37pm Miss G: ↳ chresti @9:35 Oh chresti, wow, yeah, I'm sure we drove through Wheaton to go to some campsite or other, from Chicago.
	9:37pm BruceAdams: ↳ tim from washington @9:36 You better believe it.
	9:38pm Miss G: LOL Flipper
	🌫 ♥ 9:38pm ultradamno: I remember Larissa had a guitar autographed by Ron Asheton when I saw Laughing Hyenas
	♥ 9:38pm tim from washington: Whoa! I didn’t realize there was an earlier incarnation of a Stooges re-union.
	♥ 9:39pm tim from washington: ↳ ultradamno @9:38 Yup - and Thurston Moore, Lee Ranaldo and Kim Gordon.
	🌫 ♥ 9:40pm chresti: ↳ Miss G @9:37 We moved to California in'65
	9:40pm BruceAdams: ↳ tim from washington @9:39 That's right.
	♥ 9:41pm tim from washington: I would bet $10 that Blight formed after the Necros and Flipper show.
	🌫 ♥ 9:42pm joe mulligan: I'll never forget receiving the Prazision CD in the mail from Forced Exposure the week it was released, October 1993. completely changed indie music. exploded my mind. that album was so perfect. pretty cool for knocking the first release on the label out of the park
	9:43pm BruceAdams: ↳ joe mulligan @9:42 blushing emoji
	🌫 ♥ 9:43pm Ike: "Inscrutable, repulsive noise" is an excellent phrase indeed. "WFMU, your station for inscrutable, repulsive noise!"
	🌫 ♥ 9:43pm ultradamno: ↳ tim from washington @9:41 Amusingly, I remember Tesco trashing a Flipper trashing a Flipper single (possibly Sex Bomb) in T&G
	🌫 ♥ 9:43pm joe mulligan: ↳ BruceAdams @9:43 so THANK YOU Bruce
	♥ 9:44pm tim from washington: The Dadamah cd was my first Kranky release I picked up.
	9:45pm BruceAdams: ↳ tim from washington @9:44 Early Adopter!
	🌫 ♥ 9:45pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Benares Song" by "Dagmar Krause" Both Dagmar's B,W & E albums are masterful
	9:47pm BruceAdams: ↳ ultradamno @9:45 Absolutely. I was a Young Recommended Records Head. I subscribed to the Quarterly for a couple of years.
	9:48pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Interview with Bruce Adams Part I" Point taken - but to be fair to the Croz, he was pals with BobDylan & 'Produced' Joni Mitchell's 1st album - so as far as Lyrics go the bar might have been pretty high for him... & one or two Punk records might have been a touch formulaic in retrospect. Not that that's a bad thing by me necessarily even...
	♥ 9:49pm tim from washington: I was gobsmacked to learn in You’reWith Stupid that Magnog were teenagers from Washington. I always assumed they were seasoned psych-o-nauts from the UK.
	9:49pm Miss G: ↳ Song: "Benares Song" by "Dagmar Krause" Ah yes, a gift was given to me in the past, "Lost in the Stars" - Dagmar Krause sang "Surabaya Johnny" -- great to hear this
	9:50pm jojo: Thinking Fellers Union Local 28 should've been on Kranky...a perfect fit if only........
	9:50pm BruceAdams: ↳ jojo @9:50 We couldn't have matched that Matador bag. LOL
	9:51pm Daniel Menche: My fave Laughing Hyenas song ever!!!! Epic!
	🌫 ♥ 9:51pm ultradamno: Everytime I hear LH on woof-moo lately, it occurs to me how much more they sounded like Killdozer than I remembered
	♥ 9:51pm tim from washington: I think the Hyenas are the band I’ve seen most. Larissa really is the best guitarist.
	9:52pm BruceAdams: ↳ Daniel Menche @9:51 Thanks for tuning in Mr. Menche. Respect.
	♥ 9:52pm Chop Scott: Wunderschnapps!
	♥ 9:52pm tim from washington: ↳ ultradamno @9:51 Butch Vig! Brannon doesn’t sound like Yosemite Sam though.
	9:52pm BruceAdams: ↳ tim from washington @9:51 Miss her terribly. So underrated.
	♥ 9:52pm Bobby K: Wr from Mi Media Naranja was the first one that pulled me in and sent me on a Kranky bender
	🌫 ♥ 9:53pm ultradamno: ↳ BruceAdams @9:52 Loved L-Seven too!
	♥ 9:53pm Bobby K: After that I was all in
	9:54pm BruceAdams: ↳ Bobby K @9:52 12 oz of water and some B Complex vitamins before you go to bed will help with that tomorrow morning.
	♥ 9:56pm WR: ↳ BruceAdams @9:54 Seems you are all in and none the worse for it. Thank you for guesting with Daniel and us listeners.
	♥ 9:56pm tim from washington: Excellent choices, Bruce!
	♥ 9:56pm Bobby K: ↳ BruceAdams @9:54 Haha I might just stay up all night listening to records instead
	♥ 9:56pm Daniel Blumin: Menche, all hail! El Choppo, greetz!
	9:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: FMU brings the Treats again. Appreciate this.

	♥ 9:59pm Quinn02: great Kranky selections! always loved this song.
	9:59pm Androu B.: Hi Daniel & Welcome Bruce! Greets, Rev! 🐰💣♏ Bruce, you mentioned working at Cargo Records. Have you ever met Re-Constriction Records founder Chase (who had a distribution deal with Cargo)?
	10:00pm BruceAdams: ↳ Androu B. @9:59 Yes I did meet Chase several times. Once, memorably at the CMJ conference.
	♥ 10:02pm tim from washington: Labradford is a band that started out great but always topped themselves with each record.
	10:02pm BruceAdams: ↳ tim from washington @10:02 /\ THIS
	10:03pm Miss G: such an interesting interview with Mark Nelson I read just now: sun-13.com...
	♥ 10:04pm Quinn02: didn't Labbradford have a phase where they put this high pitched oscillator into everything? or am I thinking of something else?
	🌫 ♥ 10:06pm joe mulligan: ↳ jojo @9:50 they were so San Francisco that I doubt you coulda strained it out of them.. and Caroliner Rainbow..
	♥ 10:09pm Daniel Blumin: Thanks for the linker, Miss G!
	🌫 ♥ 10:10pm ultradamno: Tortoise seemed to have come along right after, I think the feeling there was a glut was in the air
	10:11pm aegidisonus: Hi Bruce, I am curious is Carter Brown still making music?
	10:11pm BruceAdams: ↳ aegidisonus @10:11 I don't believe so.
	♥ 10:11pm Daniel Blumin: aegidisonus, we actually talk about that later!
	10:13pm Robm: Hello fellow listeners
	♥ 10:14pm tim from washington: I need to split unfortunately. This has been great radio! I will pick it up tomorrow in the archives. Thank you Daniel! Thank you Bruce! I’ll keep my antenna up for the CPL event.
	10:15pm BruceAdams: ↳ tim from washington @10:14 Thanks Tim, I'll see you around. As I'm sure you know living in C-U you see everyone eventually.
	10:16pm jonny: was following Whitehouse....1994-2007....during those years....got their early releases at Aeon Records/Kent in Fort Collins, Co
	♥ 10:16pm Daniel Blumin: See ya next week, tim!
	🌫 ♥ 10:17pm joe mulligan: it's so funny how a completely different world introduced me to Stars of the Lid.. WXPN's Chuck van Zyl on his Stars' End show.. www.starsend.org SotL one of my few all-time favorites.
	10:18pm Marie: Hey, Daniel and Bruce, enjoying the interview. I lived in Wicker Park in the 90s--just behind Club Dreamerz. It really was such a fun neighborhood. It kind of spoiled me. The artists, the art scene, the music scene and all the other cultural stuff there like bookshops and music clubs, small restaurants, diversity. Pre-gentrification.
	10:18pm BruceAdams: ↳ joe mulligan @10:17 Chuck was a big supporter from the get go. He'd quoted in the book a few times, too.
	10:19pm BruceAdams: ↳ Marie @10:18 Hey Marie. The gravel patio at Dreamerz was a favorite spot of mine.
	♥ 10:20pm Daniel Blumin: Hiya, Marie - remember visiting in the late 90s and very much enjoying!
	♥ 10:20pm Daniel Blumin: Hola, jonny!
	10:20pm Marie: ↳ BruceAdams @10:19 Hey Bruce, I totally remember that--the damaged gravestones @)
	🌫 ♥ 10:21pm joe mulligan: ↳ BruceAdams @10:18 I had an older brother who had a night security job and he listened to Stars End to keep awake. thanks to my brother he taught me about that sound in the early 80s while I was only 10+ years old
	10:22pm Marie: ↳ Daniel Blumin @10:20 Uh huh. It was a whole lotta fun. It was sad to see it change so much but I guess c'est la vie in terms of gentrification these days
	🌫 ♥ 10:22pm joe mulligan: ↳ Marie @10:18 I hope you saw Big Black. The one band I never got to see
	🌫 ♥ 10:22pm Kat in Chicago: I miss Dreamerz too!
	10:23pm Marie: ↳ joe mulligan @10:22 You know what, Joe. I don't know if I saw them @O @)
	10:23pm BruceAdams: ↳ joe mulligan @10:22 I saw Big Black a bunch of times, as well as R***man.
	🌫 ♥ 10:25pm joe mulligan: ↳ BruceAdams @10:23 must have been so good! I tried to see R***man at Club Revival in Philly but didn't have a fake ID yet so rejected at the door.
	10:26pm Marie: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:22 Yeah, Dreamerz was cool. An ex of mine DJ'd there and like Bruce said, that back patio was nice. Some great bands played there too. And there was this little Mexican restaurant kind of across the street that was great
	🌫 ♥ 10:28pm ultradamno: ↳ joe mulligan @10:22 I did, both the No Bar shows, one of which is represented on Pigpile, I think (?)
	10:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "Interview with Bruce Adams Part II" Recently watched some of the Mudhoney doc 'I'm Now'. An interesting exposition of more than a little of this Record Label psychology & behavior...
	10:30pm ami ad: Hello DJ. Hello all.
	🌫 ♥ 10:32pm joe mulligan: ↳ ultradamno @10:28 amazing. how was it?
	🌫 ♥ 10:33pm Ike: Low Low Low Low Low Low Low Low Low Low Low
	10:33pm Miss G: ↳ Song: "Interview with Bruce Adams Part II" Man, this is breaking my heart and bursting my heart, thank you for your words Bruce.
	10:34pm BruceAdams: ↳ Miss G @10:33 It's a little dusty over here, too.
	10:35pm Robm: ↳ Miss G @10:33 This is very interesting
	10:36pm Miss G: ↳ Robm @10:35 Yeah Robm, I have been half asleep since 9:30 but I was so looking forward to this!
	🌫 ♥ 10:36pm joe mulligan: ↳ Miss G @10:33 Yes what you said Miss G. So much joy from the label and hearing it from the legend himself
	10:36pm ?: Great interview!!!
	🌫 ♥ 10:36pm ultradamno: ↳ joe mulligan @10:32 Both shows were awesome in very different ways. The first time was before Atomizer came out and it was sparsely populated. One of those shows where no one was there I wasn't on a first name basis with, so it was especially riveting to watch them that way. The second time was packed and very exciting...also they set off all these firecrackers, which...No Bar was little more than a basement, it was scary and everyone ended up with black gunpowder snot as a result.
	10:38pm BruceAdams: ↳ ultradamno @10:36 Big Black blew out the power at a dormitory restaurant they played at in Ann Arbor. Each time I saw them the drum machine shut down at some point.
	♥ 10:38pm Bobby: This combination of interview, music, and chat has put me in a nice place and made me remember things. Thank you
	🌫 ♥ 10:39pm pot8o: unfortunately i have to head to bed thanks Daniel & Bruce and have a great week everyone!
	♥ 10:39pm Daniel Blumin: ? & Bobby, thank you for tuning in! g'night, pot80!
	🌫 ♥ 10:39pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @10:36 Just before Albini set of the firecrackers, there was this huge gong onstage that belongs to Jon Rans, and Santiago sort of took cover behind it, which didn't instill confidence.
	🌫 ♥ 10:40pm joe mulligan: ↳ ultradamno @10:36 what a trip!! both sound epically epic. stuff of legends
	10:40pm wenzoslaus: This is nice!
	🌫 ♥ 10:40pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Two-Step" by "Low" Beauty! Thanks Daniel and Bruce!
	10:40pm Marie: ↳ Bobby @10:38 me too
	10:41pm Androu B.: ↳ BruceAdams @10:00 Bruce, following up on my last question, have you contacted Chase lately? Last I heard, he was somewhere in Florida.
	🌫 ♥ 10:41pm joe mulligan: ↳ ultradamno @10:39 nothing beats a good measure of tension that comes from fear of "what's gonna happen next" at a show like that
