	👻 9:24pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "Cherry Pie" by "Skip & Flip" This is the demo version of that Warrant song? (ducks)
	👻 9:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:23 Writing is important! Never apologize for that.
	👻 9:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:24 I mean... sort of?
	👻 9:26pm Austin Rich: Listener Wenzo, are you in the chat?
	9:27pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:24 I just happened across it in my r&b playlist, and thought, "Hey, Austin needs this for pi day!"
	👻 9:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie" by "Jay & Techniques" I'm obsessed with these Crusin' LPs. OG DJs "recreate" what it was like to listen to their old shows. There's an LP for most years, between 1955 and 1970.
	👻 9:28pm Austin Rich: I'm also obsessed with The Four Tops, but that's because they are amazing.
	9:28pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:28 They are indeed.
	9:29pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:27 speaking of OG DJs, have I ever told you about Ron "Boogiemonster" Gerber?
	👻 9:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:29 No, but that sounds interesting already!
	9:31pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:30 He has a site called CrapFromThePast where he hosts copies of his radio show by the same name.
	👻 9:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:31 Hmmmm. I'll have to track that down. Might be my cup of tea.
	9:32pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:31 it might at that.
	👻 9:33pm ramencity: My friend in 8th grade and I had pi-memorization contests, where we would bounce a superball while reciting pi. He always won.
	9:35pm Mr. X: I never knew numbers could be so amusing.
	9:36pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Mr. X @9:35 If he could figure a way to do it, John Cage would probably come up with a song where he counts to infinity.
	9:38pm Pauly from Clifton: Hey Austin, gang! Cleaning the kitchen and jonesing for pie!
	👻 9:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:36 It would be one of those songs where they would have to get monks to play it, and they would have to train replacement monks to join in and fill in for the old monks who can't keep singing.
	9:45pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "The Ghosts Of Saturday Night (After Hours At Napo... Tom Waits is such a genius.
	9:46pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:45 But it could only be a finite number of monks because some of them took a vow of silence.
	👻 9:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "The Ghosts Of Saturday Night (After Hours At Napo... My mom listened to this album a lot when I was a kid, but never listened to other Tom Waits albums, so I thought he was some one-off 70's artist for the longest time. I think I was out of High School before I realized that he was still making albums.
	👻 9:47pm ramencity: ↳ Mr. X @9:45 perfect - I always forget which song it was where he triages your car trouble...
	👻 9:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Pizza Flipper Clifton Wordlinger" by "Bob & Ray" I'm a sucker for Bob & Ray, especially when you can hear them break character.
	👻 9:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Pizza Flipper Clifton Wordlinger" by "Bob & Ray" I've heard it put both ways, that Bob & Ray were either VERY dedicated to their scripts, or that they completely improvised. I can't confirm things one way or another, but I like to imagine the truth is a little of both.
	👻 9:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Pizza Man" by "Old Skull" I used to play a lot of Old Skull on my show in the 90's, but it's probably been SINCE the 90's that I've played them. Just as good as I remember!
	👻 9:52pm ramencity: ↳ Austin Rich @9:51 You might like Visual Purple - they were about the same age...
	9:52pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:51 I always did admire them.
	9:52pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ Austin Rich @9:50 That sketch was SO seamless, I gotta think there was some general idea and BOOM they just went with it. Oh the outtakes!
	👻 9:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Pauly from Clifton @9:52 It's hard to know. They were really good, even when they were sort of screwing around.
	9:53pm Mr. X: ↳ Mr. X @9:52 I think I first heard of Old Skull on NPR News.
	👻 9:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Shitty Pizza's Like Shitty Beer: It's Fuckin' Awe... Recorded by me, live, for my show, in 2013.
	👻 9:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell" by "Das Racist" This song was played at my wedding. My wife and I bonded over this album, and this song, when it first came out. We were first dating, so it was "our album" for a while.
	9:57pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:56 It's hilarious!
	👻 9:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:57 This whole album is really funny, and pretty great. "Derrida-dada" as the band calls it.
	👻 9:59pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "Pizza" by "Mars Production Library" <3
	9:59pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:58 Derrida-dada. Love the phrase. Made me think of Dariya Dil.
	👻 9:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:59 I knew you would.
	👻 10:00pm Heather Z: Whenever I think of pie, the first thing that comes to mind is the Mr. Show end skit where they say, "I ated too much Hippie Pie. ☹️"!
	👻 10:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "The Pi Song (867-5309/Jenny)" by "Steve Gilliland... Heather: I keep thinking about "The Circle" when he calls out "Circle!"
	👻 10:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:00 I forgot about that!
	👻 10:01pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:00 I'm also always thinking of The Circle!
	👻 10:01pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:00 #NeverForgetTheHippiePie
	10:05pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: You can thank Tom Lehrer for that.
	👻 10:06pm Heather Z: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:05 I'm also always thanking Tom Lehrer! My crazy weird Science Teacher Dad, for sure, is a Lehrer fan!
	10:07pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Heather Z @10:06 which is his favorite? The Elements or New Math?
	👻 10:08pm ramencity: My chemistry teacher would play the "shepherd tone" as 'background music' while we were taking tests
	👻 10:08pm Heather Z: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:07 Great question and I'm not sure! I'll try to remember to ask him when we talk Friday. I know he has some Best Ofs on CD because I got those for him.
	👻 10:09pm Heather Z: ↳ ramencity @10:08 I'll never forget my Chem teacher, Mrs. Renis, dancing into the room blasting The Neutron Dance on a boom box! Science teachers are kind of awesome sometimes!
	10:15pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Heading off to bed. Sorry my time here was so short tonight. Getting sleepy.
	👻 10:16pm Heather Z: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:15 Get a good rest!
	👻 10:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:15 See ya next time! Take care!
	10:18pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ Song: "Pie Taster" by "The Pietasters" '90s DC stalwarts! Love them!
	👻 10:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ Pauly from Clifton @10:18 Oh yeah. Heard this a lot back in the '90's. We had a lot of ska friends, thanks to the Varicoasters, and one of their horn players, who we used to party with a lot.
	👻 10:20pm Heather Z: Omg I haven't heard this in YEARS!!! So good!!
	10:20pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Pie Song" by "Kpants" Eugene's own!
	👻 10:21pm Austin Rich: I saw The Pietasters recently... like in 2019. They were great! It was cool to see that they were still going strong.
	👻 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:20 Can't forget Kpants. You want to make me sad: tell me you lost my Kpants CD.
	👻 10:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Pie Song" by "Kpants" The School Paper came to KPSU once to take a photo of me and the station manager at the time, and I insisted that I hold a Kpants 7" in the photo, an idea I ripped off from some Cometgain album that The Ramen City Kid had.
	👻 10:25pm ramencity: Fingers still X'd for "Buzzard Pie" by Rudy Green...
	👻 10:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "The Pie" by "The Ex" This might have been the greatest album of 2004. I couldn't stop listening to it when I first got it. I still can't; it holds up!
	👻 10:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:25 Whoops! Missed that one. Will you accept Maurice Simon & The Pie Men?
	👻 10:27pm ramencity: Keep it under your hat for Pie Day 2024
	10:27pm Mr. X: ↳ ramencity @10:27 A pork pie hat, of course.
	👻 10:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:27 It might be a few more years before my show lines up with Pi Day again. Unless I move from Tuesdays, which seems unlikely for now.
	👻 10:28pm ramencity: ↳ Mr. X @10:27 :0
	👻 10:30pm Austin Rich: I saw The Ex with The Ramen City Kid, who were playing with Unwound and Už jsme doma, in 2001. It was AMAZING. Then when this album came out a few years later, I was primed to love it.
	👻 10:31pm Heather Z: Guessing Cutie Pie by Of Montreal also didn't make the cut... or... slice?
	👻 10:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:31 We'll have to collab on a show someday. That's the best way to get more Of Montreal on MVM.
	👻 10:32pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:32 Or, I think, the only way! Which is fine. I understand!
	👻 10:35pm Austin Rich: "Have a slice on me / calculate for free / punch in the digits / add whipped topping / ready or not / you better get it while it's hot / kids can learn from pi..."
	👻 10:35pm ramencity: ↳ Austin Rich @10:28 k, I was gonna suggest that next year is "Australian Pi Day" since it would be March 14th already, but! I forgot that 2024 is a leap year, so it'll only be March 12th on that Tuesday
	👻 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:35 We'll have to come up with a cake day theme, then?
	👻 10:36pm ramencity: Karp: "Get Your Hands Off My Cake" for starters
	👻 10:37pm ramencity: Survey - hot dogs: pie or cake?
	👻 10:39pm Heather Z: ↳ ramencity @10:37 Do you know the Paul F. Tompkins Cake V Pie routine? Worth a listen!! I guess if I have to have one, I'll choose cake!
	👻 10:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:39 PFT: always worth it.
	👻 10:44pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:41 Alwayyyyyssss!!
	👻 10:48pm Austin Rich: Since it's just you me and the lamp post: if you HAVEN'T heard the Pod F. Tompcast, with Paul F. Tompkins, then you have missed out on one of the greatest audio joys of the last few decades.
	👻 10:49pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:48 Do you listen to Stay F Homekins? It's totally different than the Tompcast but very charming!
	👻 10:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:49 It is great! They are very good as a pair.
	👻 10:50pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:50 I love them both so much!
	10:50pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "π" by "Kate Bush" Even Kate gets on the digit singing bandwagon. Who'd-a thunk it?
	👻 10:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:50 And straight off an album, even!
	👻 10:53pm Heather Z: 45 minutes more! 45 minutes more!
	👻 10:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:53 Another time.
	👻 11:00pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:58 Hey, I'm greedy! Thanks for another awesome show! Always so glad to tune and and thanks to all in the chat! Y'all are the best!
	11:00pm Mr. X: Amazing finds, Austin! Great show, thanks!
	👻 11:01pm Austin Rich: Thanks everyone!
	11:31pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:30 I saw the ex open for fugazi in 1999 or so.... Also saw the ex improvise with Hamid drake and Ken Vandermark. Both made a deep impression.

Mid-Valley Mutations with Austin Rich: Playlist from March 14, 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.

	👻 9:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:36 It would be one of those songs where they would have to get monks to play it, and they would have to train replacement monks to join in and fill in for the old monks who can't keep singing.
	9:45pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "The Ghosts Of Saturday Night (After Hours At Napo... Tom Waits is such a genius.
	9:46pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:45 But it could only be a finite number of monks because some of them took a vow of silence.
	👻 9:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "The Ghosts Of Saturday Night (After Hours At Napo... My mom listened to this album a lot when I was a kid, but never listened to other Tom Waits albums, so I thought he was some one-off 70's artist for the longest time. I think I was out of High School before I realized that he was still making albums.
	👻 9:47pm ramencity: ↳ Mr. X @9:45 perfect - I always forget which song it was where he triages your car trouble...
	👻 9:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Pizza Flipper Clifton Wordlinger" by "Bob & Ray" I'm a sucker for Bob & Ray, especially when you can hear them break character.
	👻 9:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Pizza Flipper Clifton Wordlinger" by "Bob & Ray" I've heard it put both ways, that Bob & Ray were either VERY dedicated to their scripts, or that they completely improvised. I can't confirm things one way or another, but I like to imagine the truth is a little of both.
	👻 9:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Pizza Man" by "Old Skull" I used to play a lot of Old Skull on my show in the 90's, but it's probably been SINCE the 90's that I've played them. Just as good as I remember!
	👻 9:52pm ramencity: ↳ Austin Rich @9:51 You might like Visual Purple - they were about the same age...
	9:52pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:51 I always did admire them.
	9:52pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ Austin Rich @9:50 That sketch was SO seamless, I gotta think there was some general idea and BOOM they just went with it. Oh the outtakes!
	👻 9:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Pauly from Clifton @9:52 It's hard to know. They were really good, even when they were sort of screwing around.
	9:53pm Mr. X: ↳ Mr. X @9:52 I think I first heard of Old Skull on NPR News.
	👻 9:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Shitty Pizza's Like Shitty Beer: It's Fuckin' Awe... Recorded by me, live, for my show, in 2013.
	👻 9:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell" by "Das Racist" This song was played at my wedding. My wife and I bonded over this album, and this song, when it first came out. We were first dating, so it was "our album" for a while.
	9:57pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:56 It's hilarious!
	👻 9:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:57 This whole album is really funny, and pretty great. "Derrida-dada" as the band calls it.
	👻 9:59pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "Pizza" by "Mars Production Library" <3
	9:59pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:58 Derrida-dada. Love the phrase. Made me think of Dariya Dil.
	👻 9:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:59 I knew you would.
	👻 10:00pm Heather Z: Whenever I think of pie, the first thing that comes to mind is the Mr. Show end skit where they say, "I ated too much Hippie Pie. ☹️"!
	👻 10:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "The Pi Song (867-5309/Jenny)" by "Steve Gilliland... Heather: I keep thinking about "The Circle" when he calls out "Circle!"
	👻 10:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:00 I forgot about that!
	👻 10:01pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:00 I'm also always thinking of The Circle!
	👻 10:01pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:00 #NeverForgetTheHippiePie
	10:05pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: You can thank Tom Lehrer for that.
	👻 10:06pm Heather Z: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:05 I'm also always thanking Tom Lehrer! My crazy weird Science Teacher Dad, for sure, is a Lehrer fan!
	10:07pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Heather Z @10:06 which is his favorite? The Elements or New Math?
	👻 10:08pm ramencity: My chemistry teacher would play the "shepherd tone" as 'background music' while we were taking tests
	👻 10:08pm Heather Z: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:07 Great question and I'm not sure! I'll try to remember to ask him when we talk Friday. I know he has some Best Ofs on CD because I got those for him.
	👻 10:09pm Heather Z: ↳ ramencity @10:08 I'll never forget my Chem teacher, Mrs. Renis, dancing into the room blasting The Neutron Dance on a boom box! Science teachers are kind of awesome sometimes!
	10:15pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Heading off to bed. Sorry my time here was so short tonight. Getting sleepy.
	👻 10:16pm Heather Z: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:15 Get a good rest!
	👻 10:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:15 See ya next time! Take care!
	10:18pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ Song: "Pie Taster" by "The Pietasters" '90s DC stalwarts! Love them!
	👻 10:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ Pauly from Clifton @10:18 Oh yeah. Heard this a lot back in the '90's. We had a lot of ska friends, thanks to the Varicoasters, and one of their horn players, who we used to party with a lot.
	👻 10:20pm Heather Z: Omg I haven't heard this in YEARS!!! So good!!
	10:20pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Pie Song" by "Kpants" Eugene's own!
	👻 10:21pm Austin Rich: I saw The Pietasters recently... like in 2019. They were great! It was cool to see that they were still going strong.
	👻 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:20 Can't forget Kpants. You want to make me sad: tell me you lost my Kpants CD.
	👻 10:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Pie Song" by "Kpants" The School Paper came to KPSU once to take a photo of me and the station manager at the time, and I insisted that I hold a Kpants 7" in the photo, an idea I ripped off from some Cometgain album that The Ramen City Kid had.
	👻 10:25pm ramencity: Fingers still X'd for "Buzzard Pie" by Rudy Green...
	👻 10:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "The Pie" by "The Ex" This might have been the greatest album of 2004. I couldn't stop listening to it when I first got it. I still can't; it holds up!
	👻 10:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:25 Whoops! Missed that one. Will you accept Maurice Simon & The Pie Men?
	👻 10:27pm ramencity: Keep it under your hat for Pie Day 2024
	10:27pm Mr. X: ↳ ramencity @10:27 A pork pie hat, of course.
	👻 10:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:27 It might be a few more years before my show lines up with Pi Day again. Unless I move from Tuesdays, which seems unlikely for now.
	👻 10:28pm ramencity: ↳ Mr. X @10:27 :0
	👻 10:30pm Austin Rich: I saw The Ex with The Ramen City Kid, who were playing with Unwound and Už jsme doma, in 2001. It was AMAZING. Then when this album came out a few years later, I was primed to love it.
	👻 10:31pm Heather Z: Guessing Cutie Pie by Of Montreal also didn't make the cut... or... slice?
	👻 10:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:31 We'll have to collab on a show someday. That's the best way to get more Of Montreal on MVM.
	👻 10:32pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:32 Or, I think, the only way! Which is fine. I understand!
	👻 10:35pm Austin Rich: "Have a slice on me / calculate for free / punch in the digits / add whipped topping / ready or not / you better get it while it's hot / kids can learn from pi..."
	👻 10:35pm ramencity: ↳ Austin Rich @10:28 k, I was gonna suggest that next year is "Australian Pi Day" since it would be March 14th already, but! I forgot that 2024 is a leap year, so it'll only be March 12th on that Tuesday
	👻 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:35 We'll have to come up with a cake day theme, then?
	👻 10:36pm ramencity: Karp: "Get Your Hands Off My Cake" for starters
	👻 10:37pm ramencity: Survey - hot dogs: pie or cake?
	👻 10:39pm Heather Z: ↳ ramencity @10:37 Do you know the Paul F. Tompkins Cake V Pie routine? Worth a listen!! I guess if I have to have one, I'll choose cake!
	👻 10:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:39 PFT: always worth it.
	👻 10:44pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:41 Alwayyyyyssss!!
	👻 10:48pm Austin Rich: Since it's just you me and the lamp post: if you HAVEN'T heard the Pod F. Tompcast, with Paul F. Tompkins, then you have missed out on one of the greatest audio joys of the last few decades.
	👻 10:49pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:48 Do you listen to Stay F Homekins? It's totally different than the Tompcast but very charming!
	👻 10:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:49 It is great! They are very good as a pair.
	👻 10:50pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:50 I love them both so much!
	10:50pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "π" by "Kate Bush" Even Kate gets on the digit singing bandwagon. Who'd-a thunk it?
	👻 10:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:50 And straight off an album, even!
	👻 10:53pm Heather Z: 45 minutes more! 45 minutes more!
	👻 10:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:53 Another time.
	👻 11:00pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:58 Hey, I'm greedy! Thanks for another awesome show! Always so glad to tune and and thanks to all in the chat! Y'all are the best!
	11:00pm Mr. X: Amazing finds, Austin! Great show, thanks!
	👻 11:01pm Austin Rich: Thanks everyone!
	11:31pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:30 I saw the ex open for fugazi in 1999 or so.... Also saw the ex improvise with Hamid drake and Ken Vandermark. Both made a deep impression.
