Hallan	Money Talks "Money Talks" by "Hallan"	Money Talks Single	Swan Records	2022	Hallan are a Portsmouth-based four piece who write and rehearse in an 18th-century fortification built into the side of a hill and surrounded by a forest. It's within these dramatic surroundings that frontman, Conor Clements channels the frustrations, insecurities and events of early adulthood into his lyrics. Of "Money Talks" It tells a tawdry tale, examining the propensity for unhinged views born of banal insularity. As the band explain: “A father hiding behind a screen, a family watching the Queen’s jubilee and a wife leaving her unloving husband for a new life in Spain. We’ve seen all of these people and we know them too.		0:11:04 (Pop-up)
Yard Act	Rich "Rich" by "Yard Act"	The Overload	Universal Music	2021	‘Rich’ is described by the band “the natural successor” to the album’s lead single ‘Payday’, quipping in a press release: “That’s the end of the story right? Success! Status! Security! Except, there’s always more money to be made, and you’re deemed a failure if your life starts to head back in the direction it came from. It’s about being so lost you’re sure you know exactly where you are and how you got there.” SingerJames Smith continued: “I also wrote it because I thought it would be quite funny if Yard Act made a shit ton of money after I’d written an anti-capitalist concept album. It’ll be funny if I’m singing this song on stage when I’ve made my mint. At worst it makes no sense, at best it comes off as pretentious, but that’s the point I’m trying to make when I write anything really.		0:14:56 (Pop-up)
R.M.F.C	Access "Access" by "R.M.F.C"	Access Single	Anti Fade Records	2022	“Access” is a short, sharp, straight to the point piece that combines an anarcho marching beat and Devo-style guitar riff that leads into the driving rhythm section R.M.F.C. is known and loved for. With the permanent addition of 12-string guitar to the band; it’s fuller, thicker and janglier than ever before, but still retains the R.M.F.C. sound. Formerly based in Ulladulla, and now relocated to Sydney, R.M.F.C. is the baby of 21 year-old Buz Clatworthy, who writes and performs all the groups recorded output himself from his home studio (still based in Ulladulla).		0:18:43 (Pop-up)
Warmduscher	Love Strong "Love Strong" by "Warmduscher"	Love Strong Single	Bella Union	2023	Speaking about ‘Love Strong’, Warmduscher‘s Clams Baker Jr said: “Back in the lab for 2023 in celebration of our first tour of many in North America. Recorded and produced by Dan Carey, producer of Whale City and Tainted Lunch. “‘Love Strong’ is the late-night adventure bridging the gap between At The Hotspot and our next album due to hit the streets late 2023 on BELLA UNION. A love story of keeping it up in a world that wants to bring you down. Alive in the adventure, alone in the dream. Love Strong and you’ll do just fine.”	*	0:20:53 (Pop-up)

The Wedding Present	Click Click "Click Click" by "The Wedding Present"	Watusi	Island	1994	"Watusi is the fourth album by The Wedding Present, originally released in 1994." [Editor's note, if you count singles collections {and a collection of Ukrainian Peel sessions}, it's closer to the 9th Wedding Present album] "Recorded in Seattle with producer Steve Fisk, Watusi heralded a freshly recalibrated Wedding Present sound, built around arcane keyboards and lo-fi ’60s-influenced pop. The results were exultant and effervescent, with a timeless aura that hallmarks the album today as a lost classic."		0:34:53 (Pop-up)
The English Beat	Click Click "Click Click" by "The English Beat"	I Just Can't Stop It	Go-Feet Records	1980	"The Beat formed in Birmingham, England, in 1978, during a period of high unemployment and social upheaval in the United Kingdom. Ranking Roger, one of the band's vocalists, added a Jamaican vocal flavour to the band's sound with his toasting style. Jamaican saxophonist Saxa added a Jamaican ska instrumental sound. Saxa (born Lionel Augustus Martin in 1930) had played saxophone with Prince Buster, Laurel Aitken, and Desmond Dekker in the first wave of ska. He joined the Beat to record their first single, "Tears of a Clown", a cover version of the Motown hit by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. The band's debut studio album, I Just Can't Stop It, was released in May 1980, entering the UK albums chart at No. 3. Notable singles from the album included "Can't Get Used to Losing You", "Mirror in the Bathroom", "Hands Off...She's Mine" and "Best Friend"." --- This song was also from the debut album, and in my world, it is also notable, despite never being a single.		0:39:21 (Pop-up)
Miriam Makeba	The Click Song "The Click Song" by "Miriam Makeba"	The Click Song	London Records	1963	"Miriam Makeba, in full Zensi Miriam Makeba, (born March 4, 1932, Prospect Township, near Johannesburg, South Africa—died November 10, 2008, Castel Volturno, near Naples, Italy), South African-born singer who became known as Mama Afrika, one of the world’s most prominent Black African performers in the 20th century. The daughter of a Swazi mother and a Xhosa father, Makeba grew up in Sophiatown, a segregated Black township outside of Johannesburg and began singing in a school choir at an early age. She became a professional vocalist in 1954, performing primarily in southern Africa. By the late 1950s her singing and recording had made her well known in South Africa, and her appearance in the documentary film Come Back, Africa (1959) attracted the interest of Harry Belafonte and other American performers. With their help, Makeba in 1959 settled in the United States, where she embarked on a successful singing and recording career. She sang a variety of popular songs but especially excelled at Xhosa and Zulu songs, which she introduced to Western audiences. She also became known for songs that were critical of apartheid. In 1960 she was denied reentry into South Africa, and she lived in exile for three decades thereafter. In 1963 the South African government banned her records and revoked her passport. In 1964 she married trumpeter and fellow Belafonte protégé Hugh Masekela. Although the couple divorced two years later, they maintained a close professional relationship. In 1965 she and Belafonte won a Grammy Award for best folk recording for their album An Evening with Belafonte/Makeba."		0:40:50 (Pop-up)
Prolapse	I Hate The Clicking Man "I Hate The Clicking Man" by "Prolapse"	The Italian Flag	Jetset Records	1997	"Prolapse were an English indie rock band formed in Leicester, England, originally active from c. 1992 to 2000. The group's sound was a mixture of punk rock, krautrock and shoegazing styles. The band's sound was also characterised by the alternating, contrasting vocal styles of Linda Steelyard and Mick Derrick... Their third album, The Italian Flag (1997), was an eclectic 13-track tour de force which saw Prolapse gain significant radio play for the first time, particularly for the lead single "Killing the Bland" and its follow-up "Autocade", though neither single became a hit. The album returned to the more melodic approach of the first LP, though now with a harder guitar sound, but this time there was also a whole diverse array of styles, earning the band many favourable reviews. The album was produced by Donald Ross Skinner, who was invited to join the band for their subsequent tour on keyboards and guitar."		0:43:23 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Jon Kennedy	Boom Clack "Boom Clack" by "Jon Kennedy"	Corporeal	Jon Kennedy Federation	2003	Born in the hills of Dukinfield, Stockport, U.K. --- It seems he now hails from the Czech Republic. "Jon Kennedy’s music came to light when he was twenty four and Mr Scruff played his track ‘Tell Me How You Feel’ on the Unfold radio show in Brighton." "He has since worked alongside many labels over the years including : Tru Thoughts, Grand Central, Organik Recordings, My First Moth, Vinylize and now runs his own label The Jon Kennedy Federation. He has remixed over 70 artists and appeared on various films and branded adverts."		0:48:39 (Pop-up)
Hotel Lux	Old Timer "Old Timer" by "Hotel Lux"	Hands Across The Creek	The state51 Conspiracy	2023	Hotel Lux hail from South London. This is from their new album. We have played some tracks already. Fun fact about Hotel Lux: They're named after a Communist Safe House. Hotel Lux was a hotel in Moscow where communists were exiled to...It’s where a lot of them ended up being killed during Stalin’s purges, taken from Hotel Lux. It was essentially meant to be a safe house, but it didn’t end up being very safe I guess.	*	0:59:58 (Pop-up)
Beige Banquet	Acid Bath "Acid Bath" by "Beige Banquet"	Acid Bath Single	Just Step Sideways	2022	In every way, London's Beige Banquet are now larger, louder, and more intense. Speaking on the track’s themes, Vocalist Tom Brierley explains “Lyrically it’s an ode to an undefined temporary solution for bitter desperation, almost to the point of nihilism”. So, run yourself an Acid Bath- sit back and marinade in the post-punk bubbles whilst Beige Banquet pull the plug just before you get comfortable.		1:02:57 (Pop-up)
Corker	Lice "Lice" by "Corker"	Lice Single	Feel It Records	2023	"Lice" will appear on Corker's debut album, to be released on LP later in 2023 by Feel It. Cincinnati's Corker dart us around in circles, pinging off the walls in sheer post-punk glory, with the riffs and the stop/start nature of the vocals keeping everything well off-center. It’s a big groove but there’s still plenty of aggression to be found as they dig into the scraping bass and the somewhat harsh bark of the vocals. It feels instantly alive, pushing our sensibilities down a stair case and reveling in the lack of balance.		1:05:34 (Pop-up)
Le Villejuif Underground	Le Villejuif Underground	Heavy Black Matter EP	Born Bad Records	2016	“The legend then said that Australia's Nathan Roche, after having scoured many squats, found himself sleeping in a cabin at the bottom of the garden “as big as a football field” of the house in Villejuif which he then shared with his French companions, previous members of Geto Tropic. After a stint at Rock-en-Seine, and an “absurd” tour in China “alongside the TOP 40 Chinese pop stars“, it is not surprising that the VU was quickly inducted into a cool and ramshackle group that was going to save French rock” They are influenced by the Velvet Underground, are very strange, and also have a cool song about cats.

Water From Your Eyes	Barley "Barley" by "Water From Your Eyes"	Everyone's Crushed	Matador Records	2023	This track was released this Tuesday in advance of a full-length. "Life is horribly dark right now. And yet, it is not unfunny. That’s the sentiment that animates Water From Your Eyes on their new album, and first for Matador, ‘Everyone’s Crushed,’ out May 26. On the follow-up to the Brooklyn duo’s 2021 breakthrough, ‘Structure,’ Rachel Brown (they/them) and Nate Amos (he/him) find silliness and fatalism dancing in a frantic lockstep, using heart palpitating rhythms and absurdist, deadpan lyrics to convey stories of personal and societal unease. Described by Brown as Water From Your Eyes’ most collaborative record ever, it’s a swollen contusion of an album: experimental pop music that’s pretty and violent, raw and indelible."

Fuckwolf	Rock Song #1 "Rock Song #1" by "Fuckwolf"	Goodbye, Asshole	Silver Current	2022	Released Nov 11, 2022. "Goodbye, Asshole, the first proper studio album by San Francisco scuzz-wave merchants Fuckwolf, took the most meandering and unlikely 19 year journey to get here... ...Fuckwolf has haunted the warehouse shows and dive bar gigs of the Bay Area for almost two decades... The band [are] Eric Park (bass, vocals), Simon Phillips (drums) and Tomo Yasuda (guitar)... Goodbye, Asshole was recorded at the end of 2020 at El Studio in SF with Phil Manley (Trans Am/ The Fucking Champs) and in 2021 at the Mansion in SF with Eric Bauer (Osees producer/engineer)... Fuckwolf alumni have co-created (and co-destroyed) bands with the likes of John Dwyer (Osees) and Mike Donovan (Sic Alps/ Peacers) and have shared the stage with Lightning Bolt, Burmese, Black Dice, Intelligence and Wooden Ships to name just a few... After 19 years of turning on and dropping out Fuckwolf have thrown down a record that is quintessential old weird San Francisco, in a time when it’s tough to find many cultural artifacts of said vibes that still have a pulse."

Oog Bogo	DC10 "DC10" by "Oog Bogo"	Beat Session Vol 12	Shout Recordings	2022	L.A.'s Oog Bogo perform a faithful and fantastic cover version of this song (originally by Kleenex/LiLiPUT, the Swiss Punk rock band that formed in Zürich in 1978.) As for Oog Bogo, the project started out as "Weirdo bedroom pop in the so-Cal style of the 21st century - a bit of lo-fi, a funky ripple, some psyched-out post-wave. Kevin Boog, the bassist for The Meatbodies, got up to this when no one else was around." Since then, members have been added, gigs, recordings, a full-length and a "sessions" album have been released. Recent recordings produced or assisted by Ty Segall. This is the last track on the Beat Session Vol.12 Cassette released back on Sep 16, 2022. Oog Bogo (Bandcamp)		1:26:47 (Pop-up)
The Fall	The Past #2 "The Past #2" by "The Fall"	The Real New Fall LP formerly 'Country On The Click'	Action Records	2003	There are 3 versions of this album, the unreleased early mix that was leaked, this UK "official" one with different recordings/mixes/lyrics & a U.S. one released, again remastered with remixes/re-recordings & a couple of new songs. ///////// From the Annotated Fall (website) about this song: "1. Don't ask MES what this lyrics are! From Left of the Dial: "But I love the justice of something something melancholy." Interviewer: 'I couldn't understand the whole line.' Mark E. Smith: "Sometimes I do things like that." /////////// 3. An "abdominizer" is a machine that exercises the muscles of the abdomen. The word also appears in "Noel's Chemical Effluence." /////////// 4. Country on the Click has "Moving around, hitting on Limeys/On the west side of the world..."" [...as the ending lines of the song, as opposed to "Looking for a cheap coffee / Hunting out limeys / Or I'm just buying a drink / Wanna be my one, limey?"		1:29:19 (Pop-up)
39 Clocks	39 Explosion Heats "39 Explosion Heats" by "39 Clocks"	Pain It Dark	No Fun Records	1981	"The German duo 39 Clocks came of age during the late '70s, but they had no truck with the punk scene; instead they were inspired by the Dada movement, echoing rockabilly and the art-damaged side of the Velvet Underground. The duo eschewed formalities like names or choruses as they alienated local audiences and released records that nobody paid much attention to. History treated them well, however, and even though they didn't make any albums after 1987, their first two albums (1981's Pain It Dark and 1982's Subnarcotic) became touchstones for crate diggers and people looking for off-kilter, inventive, and weird post-punk music. Songs from the albums ended up on collections and mixtapes, reissues were made, and in 2019, a career-spanning box set (Next Dimension Transfer) was issued that cemented their place in the post-punk firmament. The story began in the mid-'60s when Jurgen Gleue and Christian Henjes first met as kids in Hannover, Germany, and realized they shared a lot of the same interests, such as comics, drugs, making films and music. With a series of bassists and drummers, they played in bands throughout the '60s and early '70s before they harnessed their energies under the name Killing Rats in the late part of the decade right around when punk was hitting Germany. They positioned themselves as anti-punks who did things like play vacuum cleaners on-stage, stage odd performances featuring mummies, give themselves numbers instead of names -- JG-39 for Gleue and CH-39 for Henjes -- and basically antagonize people who had shown up to hear Sex Pistols knock-offs. Their sound was a combination of rockabilly rumbling, Velvet Underground artiness, and garage rock attitude all delivered with a sarcastic, almost tossed-off air. Though the duo did record some songs while they were going around as the Killer Rats, their first single, 1980's "DNS"/ "Twisted & Shouts," was released under the name 39 Clocks. Their debut album, 1981's sparse and wiry Pain It Dark, was recorded in a studio in Hannover and featured JG-39 and CH-39 performing all the musical chores apart from drums, which were played by Christian Kuschel on a few songs and a drum machine on the rest."

Music behind DJ: The Fall	Recovery Kit "Recovery Kit" by "The Fall"	The Real New Fall LP formerly 'Country On The Click'	Action Records	2003	More this album & its iterations: "The album was recorded at Lisa Stansfield's Gracieland Studios in Rochdale between December 2002 and January 2003 with producer Grant Showbiz. The subtitle is explained by the fact that the tracks were originally scheduled for release in April 2003 under the title Country on the Click. Promotional copies were sent out and three of the new songs were previewed in the band's 23rd Peel Session, recorded on 19 February and broadcast on 13 March 2003. Smith was unhappy with the mix and decided it needed further work, stating in November 2003: "The frustration is when people embellish what you're doing. I thought this LP was perfect round about March. But then you trust people—them who shall remain nameless—to go away and mix it and it comes back sounding like Dr. Who meets Posh Spice. You have to go back in and strip it down to what it basically was." The early mix appeared on the internet, prompting the change of name when it was finally released, to differentiate it from the mix he was unhappy with. However, the original title still appears on the CD spine."		1:34:23 (Pop-up)
Non Plus Temps	Terminal Affect "Terminal Affect" by "Non Plus Temps"	Desire Choir	Post Present Medium	2022	This band is from Oakland, CA. ‘Non Plus Temps’ is a garbled curse on time, which we mainly experience in relation to the wage, whether or not we’re getting one. We’re all racing and raging against meaningless gig work. ‘Desire Choir’ refers to the production of wants and needs in capitalist society, which uses them against us, and the desire not to escape or avoid but to end this present state of things.” This is deliciously Gang of Four/A Certain Ratioesque...		1:43:46 (Pop-up)
Nicolini	Sopratutto "Sopratutto" by "Nicolini"	Sopratutto	South of North	2023	Nicolini is back with the next installment of stripped-down drum workouts and sound system madness. Spread across seven tracks and as many tempos, the dutch multi-instrumentalist and producer veers effortlessly between looped-up sax riffs (with a Twin Peaks ambience), dubby wave, mutant dancehall, low-slung steppers and manic 180 bpm experiments. Along with guest appearances from Nushin Naini and Martha de Barros, Sopratutto is an adventure through bass cones above and beyond what Nicolini has laid down before. This is a side project of the Mauscovic dance band. In case you don't speak Italian...sopratutto means "Above All"	*	1:46:51 (Pop-up)
Kairios Creature Club	Doom Funk "Doom Funk" by "Kairios Creature Club"	Doom Funk Single	Greenway Records	2022	Kairos Creature Club is a collection of songwriters and collaborators brought together by Lena Simon (La Luz) and Glenn Michael Van Dyke (Boytoy). They take on lyrical themes on the: confluence of religion, multi-level marketing and multi-level-marketing as a feature of late-stage capitalism. But the irony of music as a commodity is not lost on the group. Their self-aware approach to self promotion amidst a beautiful and tragic world is still unfolding, as is their identity.		1:50:34 (Pop-up)
Tristesse Contemporaine	Daytime Nighttime	Tristesse Contemporaine	Pschent/Dirty	2012	Tristesse Contemporaine is glued together by three adopted Parisians : Narumi is Japanese, Maik is English, Leo is Swedish ; Paris is finally the right place for the trio to meet. Raw and minimalist, mesmeric and catchy, pop and melancholic, they seized the hazes of shoegaze, krautrock and madchester to compose the soundtrack of an era lost in the night. They have also released a new album last year, their first in almost a decade and it is very good. We will be playing songs from that very soon!		1:53:41 (Pop-up)

	8:23pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: ↳ Song: "Love Strong" by "Warmduscher" So good…posted the vid on the blog a couple days back.
	8:23pm DJ Babs: This is brand spankin new Warmduscher...I love this somewhat new direction it seems they are going! They are so unpredicable!
	8:24pm DJ Babs: Please share the link to your blog with the gang here YPB!!!!

	8:26pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: ↳ DJ Babs @8:24 Anyone who is interested…you can check out my music blog at www.cultureaddicts.com for lots of stuff to make your ears happy like Warmduscher.
	8:27pm DJ Blush: So good
	8:29pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: OMG - I thought Warmduscher was last month too and missed it…and pleasantly realized it was March not Feb.
	8:32pm Derek Westerholm: pledge.wfmu.org...
	8:32pm Derek Westerholm: ^ Ah, there's the link!
	8:34pm DJ Babs: ↳ Your Pretend Boyfriend @8:29 yes! GET THEE A TICKET that show will be wild for sure!!!
	8:35pm Tome: thank you Derek &Babs for wonderful Thursday evenings of great sounds , atmospheres and discussions too !<>!
	8:36pm DJ Babs: Hello Hello Tome! Thank you for listening!!!
	8:36pm DJ Babs: I hope you are all having a great week!
	8:38pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tome @8:35 Hello, thank-you Tome! Wonderful to see you in the chat this week! We love this time so much, spending it with you, it's a special part of our lives over here in our studio...
	8:38pm Zipperhead7: ↳ DJ Babs @8:36 It's always nice to have Fridays off. During my, ahem, periods of unemployment, I always took Fridays off from job hunting. Friday is Fun Day!
	8:38pm Tome: so far good here trying to wind down this is helping me into the easy chair and say ahhh !<>!
	8:38pm laurapanic: are Wedding Present the new Fall for our playlist? Or can we have both???
	8:40pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ laurapanic @8:38 Ha ha, a coincidence, really... But they could be...
	8:40pm ultradamno: I had a poll about which of four firings you would reverse, tie between Riley and Hanley in the end....no one for Scanlon or Friel.
	8:41pm DJ Babs: ↳ Zipperhead7 @8:38 Agreed Zipperhead. We need a goddamn four day work week!
	8:41pm DJ Babs: ↳ Tome @8:38 ahhh the old easy chair. I do love to recline!
	8:41pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @8:40 *Fall firings, that is.
	8:42pm laurapanic: OK it just clicked what is going on here
	8:42pm DJ Babs: It's the clicking song!!!
	8:42pm DJ Babs: ↳ laurapanic @8:38 Also yes, on Echo beach you CAN have both Fall and Wedding Present!!!
	8:43pm ultradamno: I demand Beefheart's Click Clack and Roky's Click Your Finger While Applauding The Play!
	8:43pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:40 I think I'm in the Riley camp UD....
	8:44pm ultradamno: If I could have voted, I would have gone Scanlon, I think.
	8:46pm DJ Babs: This tune has a great bass sound.
	8:46pm ultradamno: Are there any war songs with click (as in kilometer) in the title?
	8:47pm DJ Babs: hmmmmm none that come immediately to mind.....
	8:48pm Zipperhead7: ↳ DJ Babs @8:46 Yeah love that tall, growling bass
	8:50pm DJ Babs: Agreed. Strangleresque, we call it, lol. I miss the days of playing in a band with a bass player who had an SVT rig. NOT fun to move tho!!!
	8:51pm DJ Babs: We saw Viagra Boys live last week... freaking AMAZING show and their bass player was just pumpin the crunch. SO GOOD
	8:51pm DJ Blush: Amazing mix of tunes as always B and D
	8:55pm Zipperhead7: ↳ DJ Babs @8:50 Oh god yes those Ampegs were monsters. I have a little Fender bass amp and you can hear it down the block when cranked
	8:57pm DJ Babs: Thank you Blush!!!!
	8:57pm DJ Babs: To me, that is the only Bass amp anyome should ever use!
	🏝 9:00pm WR: hello, bit late, was cleaning faucet filters, home fun. Now time go let my ears have some fun.
	9:01pm DJ Babs: Hi WR! Welcome welcome!! Nice to see ya here!!!
	9:02pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ WR @9:00 WR!!! Hello!!! Cleaning faucet filters sounds like an excellent idea. I don't think I've ever done it, so I'm probably poisoning myself every time I get water from the tap.
	9:02pm Alli B: I love this song. I’ve never heard this band.
	9:03pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @8:43 Ha, Ultra... I did give Beefhearts' Click Clack a listen a couple of times, but it didn't make the cut...
	9:03pm gsdoubleu: "only cried once and it was at the football" great line. hello all!
	9:03pm DJ Babs: Hotel Lux are excellent! Their new record just came out!!!
	9:03pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ DJ Blush @8:51 Thanks Blush!
	9:03pm DJ Babs: ↳ gsdoubleu @9:03 Hello Hello GS doubleu!!!!
	9:04pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ gsdoubleu @9:03 GSW, well spotted, excellent line!
	9:07pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Alli B @9:02 Alli B, that's awesome! That's the best, when something new catches your ear out of the blue!
	9:10pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @8:40 Ultra, Fall firings poll, ha! I remember a Mark E Smith interview a number of years later where he said that the one firing he really did regret was Craig Scanlon. Fitting, then, that no-one picked him in your poll. M.E.S. had much praise for him, in the end.
	9:11pm DJ Blush: So true. I discover so much music through you guys... it's super refreshing and exciting!
	9:12pm DJ Babs: Aww thanks guys! We are discovering much of this stuff right along with you! This show has wreaked havoc on my vinyl purchasing addiction LOL
	9:16pm DJ Blush: Hahah cheers!
	9:16pm ultradamno: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:10 It was a sub-poll to one that pitted Bryan Gregory, Lora Logic, Glen Matlock and Phil Calvert against one another...Lora won.
	9:17pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ laurapanic @8:38 Laura, btw, John Peel taught us you can have both The Fall & Wedding Present in your playlist all the time. In terms of Peel sessions, they were tops... "The Fall: (24 sessions, 1978–2004)" "Wedding Present: (13 sessions, 1986–2004)" -- Bonus trivia, Wedding Present covered Marc Riley & the Creepers' "Jumper Clown" for a Marc Riley Session (ex-Fall member w/ a great show on BBCs 6music, in case anyone is unsure) and ad-libbed lyrics that it sounds like The Fall. Haha
	9:18pm ultradamno: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:03 Well, that strains credulity. It's top shelf click
	9:19pm DJ Blush: 87 WOW
	9:20pm DJ Babs: RIGHT!?
	9:20pm ultradamno: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:10 Hanley had a line in The Big Midweek about seeing Eraserhead and Scanlon saying it was too commercial because one other person was in the theater.
	9:20pm DJ Babs: Omg this is amazing. Derek you've done it again!
	9:22pm laurapanic: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:17 this is the deep geekery I expect from the beach.
	9:22pm Dj Nico: Hola 👋🏼
	9:22pm gsdoubleu: ↳ DJ Babs @9:20 love this!
	9:23pm DJ Blush: Nicoooo
	9:23pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Babs & Derek and others
	9:23pm Tome: lovin' it !<>!
	9:24pm ultradamno: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:17 "Dare to dance on an aussie dance floor" I was just recently reading an article about Flying Nun's experience putting out Fall In A Hole that, among other things, posits Smith turned on them because Riley made the cover. www.theguardian.com... Miserable Sinners is an underrated record too, btw.
	9:25pm DJ Babs: ↳ Dj Nico @9:22 Hello HEllo Nico!!!!
	9:25pm DJ Babs: Hi Coelacanth!!!! Nice to see you!!!
	9:26pm DJ Babs: This set is 🔥
	9:26pm DJ Babs: Derek always has the surprises!!!
	9:26pm Zipperhead7: Dwyer has a signature guitar -- basically a lucite SG with a Travis Bean metal neck
	9:26pm Derek Westerholm: Hello coelacanth∅, hello Nico, hello hello!!!!
	🏝 9:28pm Kristine: hahah, this is funny! it sounds almost like the original
	9:28pm laurapanic: ↳ ultradamno @9:24 that quote is hilarious - a lyric?I read that article too. Hilarious bitterness from Smith.
	9:30pm coelacanth∅: Wow! (that track!)
	9:30pm DJ Babs: ↳ Kristine @9:28 right!>I was like is this a live Kleenex session? Nope it's OOG BOGO
	9:31pm DJ Babs: ↳ Zipperhead7 @9:26 I am a sucker for the lucite guitars...
	9:31pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @9:28 Kristine, super happy you were here to hear it, I was thinking you'd like it!
	9:31pm ultradamno: ↳ laurapanic @9:28 Dare to dance, a Creeper's lyric...I think from that very Jumper Clown...or maybe Dog On My Shoulder, which I think is another one about Smith. He had a funny one about Paul Weller too, Bard Of Woking
	9:32pm Rich in Washington: I can't believe I still have never heard this album.
	9:32pm ultradamno: I always assumed "it takes grace to play second fiddle well" in Strife Knot was an MES dig at Riley
	🏝 9:34pm Kristine: wow this track is wunderbar. need to learn more about these guys
	9:35pm Tome: this is great thank you so much Derek and Babs really making the week wind down in a good way as always !<>!
	9:35pm DJ Babs: aww thanks Tome. Thank you all for supporting us and listening in. It really is such a joy to hang out with y'all every week! :-)
	9:36pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Recovery Kit" by "The Fall" TRNFLPFCOTC is a late masterpiece, like top ten Fall album worthy for me.
	9:37pm v-dawg: Hey everyone. I do not have much to say. It is booze time.
	9:37pm DJ Blush: Cheers V-Dawg
	9:38pm Zipperhead7: ↳ ultradamno @9:31 "Bard of Woking's" pisstake on Weller: "Who likes the queen, and who votes Tory?/ Come on Paul, tell us a story."
	9:40pm v-dawg: @ DJ Blush Likewise. What are u drinking?
	9:40pm DJ Babs: ↳ v-dawg @9:37 howdy V-dawg I very much support booze time!!!!
	9:41pm ultradamno: They should have gone with Cleanex...the opposite of what The Red Krayola and Redd Kross had to do.
	9:41pm DJ Babs: ↳ Zipperhead7 @9:38 I'm still mad at Paul Weller for attacking Robert Smith
	9:44pm DJ Babs: I had to get some skronk in!
	9:47pm ultradamno: There's a funny line in Dayglo where the guy from the Roxy said something about X-Ray Spex saying they were punk to get booked, 'everyone did that then, even The Jam said that...'
	9:47pm Zipperhead7: "Goodbye, Asshole" is such a great title. We were discussing the difference between assholes, douchebags and scumbags last night. Assholes have possibilities for redemption, as do douchebags, but scumbags are beyond the pale.
	9:49pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @9:31 Ultra, going back to the Marc Riley lyric, yes! "Dare to dance on an Aussie floor"... A reference to the fight that M.E.S. & he got into after a gig. On the '82 Aus/NZ tour, Mark E. Smith didn't like that the band were dancing to The Clash's (then-new) Rock The Casbah after the show, so he started hitting them. Marc Riley hauled off and gave M.E.S. a black eye. There is footage of an awkward interview the next day. Marc Riley then got married & didn't invite Mark E Smith. Mark E Smith, fired him... On his wedding day, if I am recalling the story correctly...
	9:49pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:47 I would definitely say that X Ray Spex was more punk than the Jam. I know I'm a bad mod for saying this but the Jam have exactly 4 good songs LOL
	9:49pm DJ Babs: DJ Nico you might be fightin me on that one! LOL 💕
	9:50pm coelacanth∅: Zipper, what about persistent cesspool dwellers?
	9:51pm Zipperhead7: ↳ DJ Babs @9:49 Joe Strummer said the Jam were wholesale plagiarists. He also hit up Roland Orzabal for copping the line "everybody wants to rule the world."
	9:52pm coelacanth∅: I might fight you on that one Babs! i think the jam had 2 perfect albums (setting sons and sound affects) and many other good songs besides
	9:52pm Zipperhead7: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:50 Too many syllables, Coela. We're talkin' Jersey here
	9:53pm ultradamno: ↳ DJ Babs @9:49 I remember liking Pretty Green at the time, I'm hard pressed to think of three others, really. 😆
	9:53pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:53 Pretty Green, Start, Town Called Malice, I'm all down for those....
	9:53pm coelacanth∅: - but yes of course they were plagiarists
	9:54pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ v-dawg @9:40 Good question about what ppl are drinking... We've got fresh local beer (from a growler) & a red primitivo on the go here...
	9:55pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @9:36 Agreed so much about TRNFLPFCOTC, Ultra... Amongst my favs!
	9:57pm DJ Babs: I love the big jugs of beer. I also love playing the empty jugs LOL
	9:58pm Derek Westerholm: Somehow never got into The Jam. Not for any particular reason, they just never drew me in somehow.
	9:58pm Dj Nico: I’m a lover not a fighter! I’d agree xray spex were more punk than The Jam. But The Jam had a lot of great songs.
	9:59pm Zipperhead7: After the Brett Kavanaugh hearings I couldn't bring myself to drink a beer for almost a year. Thankfully I recovered
	🏝 9:59pm Scott_Oz: Thanks Babs & Derek, terrific Show for my sunny suds session this Friday afternoon. 🌏☀️🍻😎🤙💨🍺🍺🌻🌻
	10:00pm v-dawg: I FINALLY went to the local brewery last week, after weeks of telling myself to go. I cannot fill a growler anymore, so i bought a four pack.
	10:00pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @9:28 Kristine, one of the things that I like about the cover version is that they don't have a saxophone part, so Kevin Boog just mimics the part with his back-up vocal. But yeah, the lead vocals are eerily close to the original!
	10:01pm Zipperhead7: Thanx Babs and Derek!
	10:01pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ v-dawg @10:00 v-dawg, which local brewery? (If you wish to share, don't feel obliged.)
	10:01pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: Amazing show you two. Have a great day off tomorrow, Babs.
	10:01pm Alli B: Thank you so much!
	10:01pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Zipperhead7 @10:01 Thanks Zipperhead! Thanks for being here!!!
	10:02pm Derek Westerholm: Thanks YPB, thanks Alli, Thanks Scott, Thank-you all!!!
	10:02pm gsdoubleu: i think Andy Summer was also in Zoot Money Bid Roll Band!
	10:02pm ultradamno: So another band in the Angel/Polyphonic Spree all white wearing genre.
	10:03pm gsdoubleu: thanks for another great time at the Beach!
	10:03pm v-dawg: @ derek westerholm Montclair, Black History Lager.

	10:06pm Mike Rogers: What!? It's over?? I'l get up earlier next week!!!
	10:07pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @10:03 Kristine, once the show is archived you should be able to jump right to the song in the playlist, so long as we've tagged everything correctly...
	10:07pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ gsdoubleu @10:02 gsdoubleu, haha re: Andy Summer!
	10:08pm Derek Westerholm: Thanks Nico, Thanks WR, Thanks Coel, Thanks Mike, Thanks all!

Hallan	Money Talks "Money Talks" by "Hallan"	Money Talks Single	Swan Records	2022	Hallan are a Portsmouth-based four piece who write and rehearse in an 18th-century fortification built into the side of a hill and surrounded by a forest. It's within these dramatic surroundings that frontman, Conor Clements channels the frustrations, insecurities and events of early adulthood into his lyrics. Of "Money Talks" It tells a tawdry tale, examining the propensity for unhinged views born of banal insularity. As the band explain: “A father hiding behind a screen, a family watching the Queen’s jubilee and a wife leaving her unloving husband for a new life in Spain. We’ve seen all of these people and we know them too.		0:11:04 (Pop-up)
Yard Act	Rich "Rich" by "Yard Act"	The Overload	Universal Music	2021	‘Rich’ is described by the band “the natural successor” to the album’s lead single ‘Payday’, quipping in a press release: “That’s the end of the story right? Success! Status! Security! Except, there’s always more money to be made, and you’re deemed a failure if your life starts to head back in the direction it came from. It’s about being so lost you’re sure you know exactly where you are and how you got there.” SingerJames Smith continued: “I also wrote it because I thought it would be quite funny if Yard Act made a shit ton of money after I’d written an anti-capitalist concept album. It’ll be funny if I’m singing this song on stage when I’ve made my mint. At worst it makes no sense, at best it comes off as pretentious, but that’s the point I’m trying to make when I write anything really.		0:14:56 (Pop-up)
R.M.F.C	Access "Access" by "R.M.F.C"	Access Single	Anti Fade Records	2022	“Access” is a short, sharp, straight to the point piece that combines an anarcho marching beat and Devo-style guitar riff that leads into the driving rhythm section R.M.F.C. is known and loved for. With the permanent addition of 12-string guitar to the band; it’s fuller, thicker and janglier than ever before, but still retains the R.M.F.C. sound. Formerly based in Ulladulla, and now relocated to Sydney, R.M.F.C. is the baby of 21 year-old Buz Clatworthy, who writes and performs all the groups recorded output himself from his home studio (still based in Ulladulla).		0:18:43 (Pop-up)
Warmduscher	Love Strong "Love Strong" by "Warmduscher"	Love Strong Single	Bella Union	2023	Speaking about ‘Love Strong’, Warmduscher‘s Clams Baker Jr said: “Back in the lab for 2023 in celebration of our first tour of many in North America. Recorded and produced by Dan Carey, producer of Whale City and Tainted Lunch. “‘Love Strong’ is the late-night adventure bridging the gap between At The Hotspot and our next album due to hit the streets late 2023 on BELLA UNION. A love story of keeping it up in a world that wants to bring you down. Alive in the adventure, alone in the dream. Love Strong and you’ll do just fine.”	*	0:20:53 (Pop-up)

The Wedding Present	Click Click "Click Click" by "The Wedding Present"	Watusi	Island	1994	"Watusi is the fourth album by The Wedding Present, originally released in 1994." [Editor's note, if you count singles collections {and a collection of Ukrainian Peel sessions}, it's closer to the 9th Wedding Present album] "Recorded in Seattle with producer Steve Fisk, Watusi heralded a freshly recalibrated Wedding Present sound, built around arcane keyboards and lo-fi ’60s-influenced pop. The results were exultant and effervescent, with a timeless aura that hallmarks the album today as a lost classic."		0:34:53 (Pop-up)
The English Beat	Click Click "Click Click" by "The English Beat"	I Just Can't Stop It	Go-Feet Records	1980	"The Beat formed in Birmingham, England, in 1978, during a period of high unemployment and social upheaval in the United Kingdom. Ranking Roger, one of the band's vocalists, added a Jamaican vocal flavour to the band's sound with his toasting style. Jamaican saxophonist Saxa added a Jamaican ska instrumental sound. Saxa (born Lionel Augustus Martin in 1930) had played saxophone with Prince Buster, Laurel Aitken, and Desmond Dekker in the first wave of ska. He joined the Beat to record their first single, "Tears of a Clown", a cover version of the Motown hit by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. The band's debut studio album, I Just Can't Stop It, was released in May 1980, entering the UK albums chart at No. 3. Notable singles from the album included "Can't Get Used to Losing You", "Mirror in the Bathroom", "Hands Off...She's Mine" and "Best Friend"." --- This song was also from the debut album, and in my world, it is also notable, despite never being a single.		0:39:21 (Pop-up)
Miriam Makeba	The Click Song "The Click Song" by "Miriam Makeba"	The Click Song	London Records	1963	"Miriam Makeba, in full Zensi Miriam Makeba, (born March 4, 1932, Prospect Township, near Johannesburg, South Africa—died November 10, 2008, Castel Volturno, near Naples, Italy), South African-born singer who became known as Mama Afrika, one of the world’s most prominent Black African performers in the 20th century. The daughter of a Swazi mother and a Xhosa father, Makeba grew up in Sophiatown, a segregated Black township outside of Johannesburg and began singing in a school choir at an early age. She became a professional vocalist in 1954, performing primarily in southern Africa. By the late 1950s her singing and recording had made her well known in South Africa, and her appearance in the documentary film Come Back, Africa (1959) attracted the interest of Harry Belafonte and other American performers. With their help, Makeba in 1959 settled in the United States, where she embarked on a successful singing and recording career. She sang a variety of popular songs but especially excelled at Xhosa and Zulu songs, which she introduced to Western audiences. She also became known for songs that were critical of apartheid. In 1960 she was denied reentry into South Africa, and she lived in exile for three decades thereafter. In 1963 the South African government banned her records and revoked her passport. In 1964 she married trumpeter and fellow Belafonte protégé Hugh Masekela. Although the couple divorced two years later, they maintained a close professional relationship. In 1965 she and Belafonte won a Grammy Award for best folk recording for their album An Evening with Belafonte/Makeba."		0:40:50 (Pop-up)
Prolapse	I Hate The Clicking Man "I Hate The Clicking Man" by "Prolapse"	The Italian Flag	Jetset Records	1997	"Prolapse were an English indie rock band formed in Leicester, England, originally active from c. 1992 to 2000. The group's sound was a mixture of punk rock, krautrock and shoegazing styles. The band's sound was also characterised by the alternating, contrasting vocal styles of Linda Steelyard and Mick Derrick... Their third album, The Italian Flag (1997), was an eclectic 13-track tour de force which saw Prolapse gain significant radio play for the first time, particularly for the lead single "Killing the Bland" and its follow-up "Autocade", though neither single became a hit. The album returned to the more melodic approach of the first LP, though now with a harder guitar sound, but this time there was also a whole diverse array of styles, earning the band many favourable reviews. The album was produced by Donald Ross Skinner, who was invited to join the band for their subsequent tour on keyboards and guitar."		0:43:23 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Jon Kennedy	Boom Clack "Boom Clack" by "Jon Kennedy"	Corporeal	Jon Kennedy Federation	2003	Born in the hills of Dukinfield, Stockport, U.K. --- It seems he now hails from the Czech Republic. "Jon Kennedy’s music came to light when he was twenty four and Mr Scruff played his track ‘Tell Me How You Feel’ on the Unfold radio show in Brighton." "He has since worked alongside many labels over the years including : Tru Thoughts, Grand Central, Organik Recordings, My First Moth, Vinylize and now runs his own label The Jon Kennedy Federation. He has remixed over 70 artists and appeared on various films and branded adverts."		0:48:39 (Pop-up)
Hotel Lux	Old Timer "Old Timer" by "Hotel Lux"	Hands Across The Creek	The state51 Conspiracy	2023	Hotel Lux hail from South London. This is from their new album. We have played some tracks already. Fun fact about Hotel Lux: They're named after a Communist Safe House. Hotel Lux was a hotel in Moscow where communists were exiled to...It’s where a lot of them ended up being killed during Stalin’s purges, taken from Hotel Lux.

Beige Banquet	Acid Bath "Acid Bath" by "Beige Banquet"	Acid Bath Single	Just Step Sideways	2022	In every way, London's Beige Banquet are now larger, louder, and more intense. Speaking on the track’s themes, Vocalist Tom Brierley explains “Lyrically it’s an ode to an undefined temporary solution for bitter desperation, almost to the point of nihilism”. So, run yourself an Acid Bath- sit back and marinade in the post-punk bubbles whilst Beige Banquet pull the plug just before you get comfortable.		1:02:57 (Pop-up)
Corker	Lice "Lice" by "Corker"	Lice Single	Feel It Records	2023	"Lice" will appear on Corker's debut album, to be released on LP later in 2023 by Feel It. Cincinnati's Corker dart us around in circles, pinging off the walls in sheer post-punk glory, with the riffs and the stop/start nature of the vocals keeping everything well off-center. It’s a big groove but there’s still plenty of aggression to be found as they dig into the scraping bass and the somewhat harsh bark of the vocals. It feels instantly alive, pushing our sensibilities down a stair case and reveling in the lack of balance.		1:05:34 (Pop-up)
Le Villejuif Underground	Le Villejuif Underground	Heavy Black Matter EP	Born Bad Records	2016	“The legend then said that Australia's Nathan Roche, after having scoured many squats, found himself sleeping in a cabin at the bottom of the garden “as big as a football field” of the house in Villejuif which he then shared with his French companions, previous members of Geto Tropic. After a stint at Rock-en-Seine, and an “absurd” tour in China “alongside the TOP 40 Chinese pop stars“, it is not surprising that the VU was quickly inducted into a cool and ramshackle group that was going to save French rock” They are influenced by the Velvet Underground, are very strange, and also have a cool song about cats.

Water From Your Eyes	Barley "Barley" by "Water From Your Eyes"	Everyone's Crushed	Matador Records	2023	This track was released this Tuesday in advance of a full-length. "Life is horribly dark right now. And yet, it is not unfunny. That’s the sentiment that animates Water From Your Eyes on their new album, and first for Matador, ‘Everyone’s Crushed,’ out May 26. On the follow-up to the Brooklyn duo’s 2021 breakthrough, ‘Structure,’ Rachel Brown (they/them) and Nate Amos (he/him) find silliness and fatalism dancing in a frantic lockstep, using heart palpitating rhythms and absurdist, deadpan lyrics to convey stories of personal and societal unease. Described by Brown as Water From Your Eyes’ most collaborative record ever, it’s a swollen contusion of an album: experimental pop music that’s pretty and violent, raw and indelible."

Fuckwolf	Rock Song #1 "Rock Song #1" by "Fuckwolf"	Goodbye, Asshole	Silver Current	2022	Released Nov 11, 2022. "Goodbye, Asshole, the first proper studio album by San Francisco scuzz-wave merchants Fuckwolf, took the most meandering and unlikely 19 year journey to get here... ...Fuckwolf has haunted the warehouse shows and dive bar gigs of the Bay Area for almost two decades... The band [are] Eric Park (bass, vocals), Simon Phillips (drums) and Tomo Yasuda (guitar)... Goodbye, Asshole was recorded at the end of 2020 at El Studio in SF with Phil Manley (Trans Am/ The Fucking Champs) and in 2021 at the Mansion in SF with Eric Bauer (Osees producer/engineer)... Fuckwolf alumni have co-created (and co-destroyed) bands with the likes of John Dwyer (Osees) and Mike Donovan (Sic Alps/ Peacers) and have shared the stage with Lightning Bolt, Burmese, Black Dice, Intelligence and Wooden Ships to name just a few... After 19 years of turning on and dropping out Fuckwolf have thrown down a record that is quintessential old weird San Francisco, in a time when it’s tough to find many cultural artifacts of said vibes that still have a pulse."

Oog Bogo	DC10 "DC10" by "Oog Bogo"	Beat Session Vol 12	Shout Recordings	2022	L.A.'s Oog Bogo perform a faithful and fantastic cover version of this song (originally by Kleenex/LiLiPUT, the Swiss Punk rock band that formed in Zürich in 1978.) As for Oog Bogo, the project started out as "Weirdo bedroom pop in the so-Cal style of the 21st century - a bit of lo-fi, a funky ripple, some psyched-out post-wave. Kevin Boog, the bassist for The Meatbodies, got up to this when no one else was around." Since then, members have been added, gigs, recordings, a full-length and a "sessions" album have been released. Recent recordings produced or assisted by Ty Segall. This is the last track on the Beat Session Vol.12 Cassette released back on Sep 16, 2022. Oog Bogo (Bandcamp)		1:26:47 (Pop-up)
The Fall	The Past #2 "The Past #2" by "The Fall"	The Real New Fall LP formerly 'Country On The Click'	Action Records	2003	There are 3 versions of this album, the unreleased early mix that was leaked, this UK "official" one with different recordings/mixes/lyrics & a U.S. one released, again remastered with remixes/re-recordings & a couple of new songs. ///////// From the Annotated Fall (website) about this song: "1. Don't ask MES what this lyrics are! From Left of the Dial: "But I love the justice of something something melancholy." Interviewer: 'I couldn't understand the whole line.' Mark E. Smith: "Sometimes I do things like that." /////////// 3. An "abdominizer" is a machine that exercises the muscles of the abdomen. The word also appears in "Noel's Chemical Effluence." /////////// 4. Country on the Click has "Moving around, hitting on Limeys/On the west side of the world..."" [...as the ending lines of the song, as opposed to "Looking for a cheap coffee / Hunting out limeys / Or I'm just buying a drink / Wanna be my one, limey?"		1:29:19 (Pop-up)
39 Clocks	39 Explosion Heats "39 Explosion Heats" by "39 Clocks"	Pain It Dark	No Fun Records	1981	"The German duo 39 Clocks came of age during the late '70s, but they had no truck with the punk scene; instead they were inspired by the Dada movement, echoing rockabilly and the art-damaged side of the Velvet Underground. The duo eschewed formalities like names or choruses as they alienated local audiences and released records that nobody paid much attention to. History treated them well, however, and even though they didn't make any albums after 1987, their first two albums (1981's Pain It Dark and 1982's Subnarcotic) became touchstones for crate diggers and people looking for off-kilter, inventive, and weird post-punk music. Songs from the albums ended up on collections and mixtapes, reissues were made, and in 2019, a career-spanning box set (Next Dimension Transfer) was issued that cemented their place in the post-punk firmament. The story began in the mid-'60s when Jurgen Gleue and Christian Henjes first met as kids in Hannover, Germany, and realized they shared a lot of the same interests, such as comics, drugs, making films and music. With a series of bassists and drummers, they played in bands throughout the '60s and early '70s before they harnessed their energies under the name Killing Rats in the late part of the decade right around when punk was hitting Germany. They positioned themselves as anti-punks who did things like play vacuum cleaners on-stage, stage odd performances featuring mummies, give themselves numbers instead of names -- JG-39 for Gleue and CH-39 for Henjes -- and basically antagonize people who had shown up to hear Sex Pistols knock-offs. Their sound was a combination of rockabilly rumbling, Velvet Underground artiness, and garage rock attitude all delivered with a sarcastic, almost tossed-off air. Though the duo did record some songs while they were going around as the Killer Rats, their first single, 1980's "DNS"/ "Twisted & Shouts," was released under the name 39 Clocks. Their debut album, 1981's sparse and wiry Pain It Dark, was recorded in a studio in Hannover and featured JG-39 and CH-39 performing all the musical chores apart from drums, which were played by Christian Kuschel on a few songs and a drum machine on the rest."

Music behind DJ: The Fall	Recovery Kit "Recovery Kit" by "The Fall"	The Real New Fall LP formerly 'Country On The Click'	Action Records	2003	More this album & its iterations: "The album was recorded at Lisa Stansfield's Gracieland Studios in Rochdale between December 2002 and January 2003 with producer Grant Showbiz. The subtitle is explained by the fact that the tracks were originally scheduled for release in April 2003 under the title Country on the Click. Promotional copies were sent out and three of the new songs were previewed in the band's 23rd Peel Session, recorded on 19 February and broadcast on 13 March 2003. Smith was unhappy with the mix and decided it needed further work, stating in November 2003: "The frustration is when people embellish what you're doing. I thought this LP was perfect round about March. But then you trust people—them who shall remain nameless—to go away and mix it and it comes back sounding like Dr. Who meets Posh Spice. You have to go back in and strip it down to what it basically was." The early mix appeared on the internet, prompting the change of name when it was finally released, to differentiate it from the mix he was unhappy with. However, the original title still appears on the CD spine."		1:34:23 (Pop-up)
Non Plus Temps	Terminal Affect "Terminal Affect" by "Non Plus Temps"	Desire Choir	Post Present Medium	2022	This band is from Oakland, CA. ‘Non Plus Temps’ is a garbled curse on time, which we mainly experience in relation to the wage, whether or not we’re getting one. We’re all racing and raging against meaningless gig work. ‘Desire Choir’ refers to the production of wants and needs in capitalist society, which uses them against us, and the desire not to escape or avoid but to end this present state of things.” This is deliciously Gang of Four/A Certain Ratioesque...		1:43:46 (Pop-up)
Nicolini	Sopratutto "Sopratutto" by "Nicolini"	Sopratutto	South of North	2023	Nicolini is back with the next installment of stripped-down drum workouts and sound system madness. Spread across seven tracks and as many tempos, the dutch multi-instrumentalist and producer veers effortlessly between looped-up sax riffs (with a Twin Peaks ambience), dubby wave, mutant dancehall, low-slung steppers and manic 180 bpm experiments. Along with guest appearances from Nushin Naini and Martha de Barros, Sopratutto is an adventure through bass cones above and beyond what Nicolini has laid down before. This is a side project of the Mauscovic dance band. In case you don't speak Italian...sopratutto means "Above All"	*	1:46:51 (Pop-up)
Kairios Creature Club	Doom Funk "Doom Funk" by "Kairios Creature Club"	Doom Funk Single	Greenway Records	2022	Kairos Creature Club is a collection of songwriters and collaborators brought together by Lena Simon (La Luz) and Glenn Michael Van Dyke (Boytoy). They take on lyrical themes on the: confluence of religion, multi-level marketing and multi-level-marketing as a feature of late-stage capitalism. But the irony of music as a commodity is not lost on the group. Their self-aware approach to self promotion amidst a beautiful and tragic world is still unfolding, as is their identity.		1:50:34 (Pop-up)
Tristesse Contemporaine	Daytime Nighttime	Tristesse Contemporaine	Pschent/Dirty	2012	Tristesse Contemporaine is glued together by three adopted Parisians : Narumi is Japanese, Maik is English, Leo is Swedish ; Paris is finally the right place for the trio to meet. Raw and minimalist, mesmeric and catchy, pop and melancholic, they seized the hazes of shoegaze, krautrock and madchester to compose the soundtrack of an era lost in the night. They have also released a new album last year, their first in almost a decade and it is very good. We will be playing songs from that very soon!		1:53:41 (Pop-up)

Dantalian's Chariot	This Island "This Island" by "Dantalian's Chariot"	Chariot Rising	Esoteric Recordings	2017	Dantalian's Chariot was a British psychedelic rock band formed in 1967, led by keyboardist and bandleader Zoot Money, and also featuring Andy Summers (later of The Police).They are best remembered for their single "Madman Running Through the Fields", and for their live performances, which featured early psychedelic light shows.The band would all wear white robes and kaftans in concert, with all of their equipment painted white, to heighten the effect of these light shows.The group disbanded in April 1968, with Money going on to join Eric Burdon & The Animals and Summers joining Soft Machine...		2:03:46 (Pop-up)

	8:13pm Zipperhead7: Everyone should burn money at some point. I found it far more exhilarating than flag burning
	8:13pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:07 I know that Sparks are not for everyone but that's ok. I think even they know that lol.
	8:14pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: Ohhh I like this very much…groovy vibes.
	8:14pm DJ Babs: Hey, if you want to burn some money, send it to WFMU!!! More burn for your buck! LOL
	8:14pm Derek Westerholm: I thought I didn't like Sparks, but lately my opinion has been much revised.
	8:15pm ultradamno: Say, if you're looking for an inexpensive impulse item for BC Friday in about seven hours, this split single Kvalia & Prognoz Pogody, kind of jazzy post-punk not dissimilar to say, Handle, is worth considering kvalia.bandcamp.com...
	8:16pm DJ Babs: ↳ Your Pretend Boyfriend @8:14 Hallan are very good! I think we have played another track of theirs a few months back!
	8:17pm DJ Babs: Thank you for the tip UD!
	8:17pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: ↳ Song: "Rich" by "Yard Act" Great band…great LP.
	8:19pm DJ Babs: I am very pleased that Yard Act exist. They do a good take on ranty socialism.
	8:19pm Zipperhead7: ↳ DJ Babs @8:14 I do, every month!. Only burned money once. Woke up one morning horribly hungover and fished for a cigarette in my pants pocket -- pulled out a partially burned $20. "I must have had a helluva time last nght," I thought
	8:20pm DJ Babs: HAHA that is definitely the sign of a good night!
	8:20pm DJ Babs: I hope you all have had a great week; I am tuciking into a bottle of Primitivo and could not be happier about that!
	8:22pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Access" by "R.M.F.C" That felt like it could have broken out into a full blown flamenco breakdown at any moment...maybe that's the 12 string.
	8:23pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: ↳ Song: "Love Strong" by "Warmduscher" So good…posted the vid on the blog a couple days back.
	8:23pm DJ Babs: This is brand spankin new Warmduscher...I love this somewhat new direction it seems they are going! They are so unpredicable!

	8:32pm Derek Westerholm: pledge.wfmu.org...

	8:38pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tome @8:35 Hello, thank-you Tome! Wonderful to see you in the chat this week! We love this time so much, spending it with you, it's a special part of our lives over here in our studio...
	8:38pm Zipperhead7: ↳ DJ Babs @8:36 It's always nice to have Fridays off. During my, ahem, periods of unemployment, I always took Fridays off from job hunting. Friday is Fun Day!
	8:38pm Tome: so far good here trying to wind down this is helping me into the easy chair and say ahhh !<>!
	8:38pm laurapanic: are Wedding Present the new Fall for our playlist? Or can we have both???
	8:40pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ laurapanic @8:38 Ha ha, a coincidence, really... But they could be...
	8:40pm ultradamno: I had a poll about which of four firings you would reverse, tie between Riley and Hanley in the end....no one for Scanlon or Friel.
	8:41pm DJ Babs: ↳ Zipperhead7 @8:38 Agreed Zipperhead. We need a goddamn four day work week!
	8:41pm DJ Babs: ↳ Tome @8:38 ahhh the old easy chair. I do love to recline!
	8:41pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @8:40 *Fall firings, that is.
	8:42pm laurapanic: OK it just clicked what is going on here
	8:42pm DJ Babs: It's the clicking song!!!
	8:42pm DJ Babs: ↳ laurapanic @8:38 Also yes, on Echo beach you CAN have both Fall and Wedding Present!!!
	8:43pm ultradamno: I demand Beefheart's Click Clack and Roky's Click Your Finger While Applauding The Play!
	8:43pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:40 I think I'm in the Riley camp UD....
	8:44pm ultradamno: If I could have voted, I would have gone Scanlon, I think.
	8:46pm DJ Babs: This tune has a great bass sound.
	8:46pm ultradamno: Are there any war songs with click (as in kilometer) in the title?
	8:47pm DJ Babs: hmmmmm none that come immediately to mind.....
	8:48pm Zipperhead7: ↳ DJ Babs @8:46 Yeah love that tall, growling bass
	8:50pm DJ Babs: Agreed. Strangleresque, we call it, lol. I miss the days of playing in a band with a bass player who had an SVT rig. NOT fun to move tho!!!
	8:51pm DJ Babs: We saw Viagra Boys live last week... freaking AMAZING show and their bass player was just pumpin the crunch. SO GOOD
	8:51pm DJ Blush: Amazing mix of tunes as always B and D
	8:55pm Zipperhead7: ↳ DJ Babs @8:50 Oh god yes those Ampegs were monsters. I have a little Fender bass amp and you can hear it down the block when cranked
	8:57pm DJ Babs: Thank you Blush!!!!
	8:57pm DJ Babs: To me, that is the only Bass amp anyome should ever use!
	🏝 9:00pm WR: hello, bit late, was cleaning faucet filters, home fun. Now time go let my ears have some fun.
	9:01pm DJ Babs: Hi WR! Welcome welcome!! Nice to see ya here!!!
	9:02pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ WR @9:00 WR!!! Hello!!! Cleaning faucet filters sounds like an excellent idea. I don't think I've ever done it, so I'm probably poisoning myself every time I get water from the tap.
	9:02pm Alli B: I love this song. I’ve never heard this band.
	9:03pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @8:43 Ha, Ultra... I did give Beefhearts' Click Clack a listen a couple of times, but it didn't make the cut...
	9:03pm gsdoubleu: "only cried once and it was at the football" great line. hello all!
	9:03pm DJ Babs: Hotel Lux are excellent! Their new record just came out!!!
	9:03pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ DJ Blush @8:51 Thanks Blush!
	9:03pm DJ Babs: ↳ gsdoubleu @9:03 Hello Hello GS doubleu!!!!
	9:04pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ gsdoubleu @9:03 GSW, well spotted, excellent line!
	9:07pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Alli B @9:02 Alli B, that's awesome! That's the best, when something new catches your ear out of the blue!
	9:10pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @8:40 Ultra, Fall firings poll, ha! I remember a Mark E Smith interview a number of years later where he said that the one firing he really did regret was Craig Scanlon. Fitting, then, that no-one picked him in your poll. M.E.S. had much praise for him, in the end.
	9:11pm DJ Blush: So true. I discover so much music through you guys... it's super refreshing and exciting!
	9:12pm DJ Babs: Aww thanks guys! We are discovering much of this stuff right along with you! This show has wreaked havoc on my vinyl purchasing addiction LOL
	9:16pm DJ Blush: Hahah cheers!
	9:16pm ultradamno: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:10 It was a sub-poll to one that pitted Bryan Gregory, Lora Logic, Glen Matlock and Phil Calvert against one another...Lora won.
	9:17pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ laurapanic @8:38 Laura, btw, John Peel taught us you can have both The Fall & Wedding Present in your playlist all the time. In terms of Peel sessions, they were tops... "The Fall: (24 sessions, 1978–2004)" "Wedding Present: (13 sessions, 1986–2004)" -- Bonus trivia, Wedding Present covered Marc Riley & the Creepers' "Jumper Clown" for a Marc Riley Session (ex-Fall member w/ a great show on BBCs 6music, in case anyone is unsure) and ad-libbed lyrics that it sounds like The Fall. Haha
	9:18pm ultradamno: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:03 Well, that strains credulity. It's top shelf click
	9:19pm DJ Blush: 87 WOW
	9:20pm DJ Babs: RIGHT!?
	9:20pm ultradamno: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:10 Hanley had a line in The Big Midweek about seeing Eraserhead and Scanlon saying it was too commercial because one other person was in the theater.
	9:20pm DJ Babs: Omg this is amazing. Derek you've done it again!
	9:22pm laurapanic: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:17 this is the deep geekery I expect from the beach.
	9:22pm Dj Nico: Hola 👋🏼
	9:22pm gsdoubleu: ↳ DJ Babs @9:20 love this!
	9:23pm DJ Blush: Nicoooo
	9:23pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Babs & Derek and others
	9:23pm Tome: lovin' it !<>!
	9:24pm ultradamno: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:17 "Dare to dance on an aussie dance floor" I was just recently reading an article about Flying Nun's experience putting out Fall In A Hole that, among other things, posits Smith turned on them because Riley made the cover. www.theguardian.com... Miserable Sinners is an underrated record too, btw.
	9:25pm DJ Babs: ↳ Dj Nico @9:22 Hello HEllo Nico!!!!
	9:25pm DJ Babs: Hi Coelacanth!!!! Nice to see you!!!
	9:26pm DJ Babs: This set is 🔥
	9:26pm DJ Babs: Derek always has the surprises!!!
	9:26pm Zipperhead7: Dwyer has a signature guitar -- basically a lucite SG with a Travis Bean metal neck
	9:26pm Derek Westerholm: Hello coelacanth∅, hello Nico, hello hello!!!!
	🏝 9:28pm Kristine: hahah, this is funny! it sounds almost like the original
	9:28pm laurapanic: ↳ ultradamno @9:24 that quote is hilarious - a lyric?I read that article too. Hilarious bitterness from Smith.
	9:30pm coelacanth∅: Wow! (that track!)
	9:30pm DJ Babs: ↳ Kristine @9:28 right!>I was like is this a live Kleenex session? Nope it's OOG BOGO
	9:31pm DJ Babs: ↳ Zipperhead7 @9:26 I am a sucker for the lucite guitars...
	9:31pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @9:28 Kristine, super happy you were here to hear it, I was thinking you'd like it!
	9:31pm ultradamno: ↳ laurapanic @9:28 Dare to dance, a Creeper's lyric...I think from that very Jumper Clown...or maybe Dog On My Shoulder, which I think is another one about Smith. He had a funny one about Paul Weller too, Bard Of Woking
	9:32pm Rich in Washington: I can't believe I still have never heard this album.
	9:32pm ultradamno: I always assumed "it takes grace to play second fiddle well" in Strife Knot was an MES dig at Riley
	🏝 9:34pm Kristine: wow this track is wunderbar. need to learn more about these guys
	9:35pm Tome: this is great thank you so much Derek and Babs really making the week wind down in a good way as always !<>!
	9:35pm DJ Babs: aww thanks Tome. Thank you all for supporting us and listening in. It really is such a joy to hang out with y'all every week! :-)
	9:36pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Recovery Kit" by "The Fall" TRNFLPFCOTC is a late masterpiece, like top ten Fall album worthy for me.
	9:37pm v-dawg: Hey everyone. I do not have much to say. It is booze time.
	9:37pm DJ Blush: Cheers V-Dawg
	9:38pm Zipperhead7: ↳ ultradamno @9:31 "Bard of Woking's" pisstake on Weller: "Who likes the queen, and who votes Tory?/ Come on Paul, tell us a story."
	9:40pm v-dawg: @ DJ Blush Likewise. What are u drinking?
	9:40pm DJ Babs: ↳ v-dawg @9:37 howdy V-dawg I very much support booze time!!!!
	9:41pm ultradamno: They should have gone with Cleanex...the opposite of what The Red Krayola and Redd Kross had to do.
	9:41pm DJ Babs: ↳ Zipperhead7 @9:38 I'm still mad at Paul Weller for attacking Robert Smith
	9:44pm DJ Babs: I had to get some skronk in!
	9:47pm ultradamno: There's a funny line in Dayglo where the guy from the Roxy said something about X-Ray Spex saying they were punk to get booked, 'everyone did that then, even The Jam said that...'
	9:47pm Zipperhead7: "Goodbye, Asshole" is such a great title. We were discussing the difference between assholes, douchebags and scumbags last night. Assholes have possibilities for redemption, as do douchebags, but scumbags are beyond the pale.
	9:49pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @9:31 Ultra, going back to the Marc Riley lyric, yes! "Dare to dance on an Aussie floor"... A reference to the fight that M.E.S. & he got into after a gig. On the '82 Aus/NZ tour, Mark E. Smith didn't like that the band were dancing to The Clash's (then-new) Rock The Casbah after the show, so he started hitting them. Marc Riley hauled off and gave M.E.S. a black eye. There is footage of an awkward interview the next day. Marc Riley then got married & didn't invite Mark E Smith. Mark E Smith, fired him... On his wedding day, if I am recalling the story correctly...
	9:49pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:47 I would definitely say that X Ray Spex was more punk than the Jam. I know I'm a bad mod for saying this but the Jam have exactly 4 good songs LOL
	9:49pm DJ Babs: DJ Nico you might be fightin me on that one! LOL 💕
	9:50pm coelacanth∅: Zipper, what about persistent cesspool dwellers?
	9:51pm Zipperhead7: ↳ DJ Babs @9:49 Joe Strummer said the Jam were wholesale plagiarists. He also hit up Roland Orzabal for copping the line "everybody wants to rule the world."
	9:52pm coelacanth∅: I might fight you on that one Babs! i think the jam had 2 perfect albums (setting sons and sound affects) and many other good songs besides
	9:52pm Zipperhead7: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:50 Too many syllables, Coela. We're talkin' Jersey here
	9:53pm ultradamno: ↳ DJ Babs @9:49 I remember liking Pretty Green at the time, I'm hard pressed to think of three others, really. 😆
	9:53pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:53 Pretty Green, Start, Town Called Malice, I'm all down for those....
	9:53pm coelacanth∅: - but yes of course they were plagiarists
	9:54pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ v-dawg @9:40 Good question about what ppl are drinking... We've got fresh local beer (from a growler) & a red primitivo on the go here...
	9:55pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @9:36 Agreed so much about TRNFLPFCOTC, Ultra... Amongst my favs!
	9:57pm DJ Babs: I love the big jugs of beer. I also love playing the empty jugs LOL
	9:58pm Derek Westerholm: Somehow never got into The Jam. Not for any particular reason, they just never drew me in somehow.
	9:58pm Dj Nico: I’m a lover not a fighter! I’d agree xray spex were more punk than The Jam. But The Jam had a lot of great songs.
	9:59pm Zipperhead7: After the Brett Kavanaugh hearings I couldn't bring myself to drink a beer for almost a year. Thankfully I recovered
	🏝 9:59pm Scott_Oz: Thanks Babs & Derek, terrific Show for my sunny suds session this Friday afternoon. 🌏☀️🍻😎🤙💨🍺🍺🌻🌻
	10:00pm v-dawg: I FINALLY went to the local brewery last week, after weeks of telling myself to go. I cannot fill a growler anymore, so i bought a four pack.
	10:00pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @9:28 Kristine, one of the things that I like about the cover version is that they don't have a saxophone part, so Kevin Boog just mimics the part with his back-up vocal. But yeah, the lead vocals are eerily close to the original!
	10:01pm Zipperhead7: Thanx Babs and Derek!
	10:01pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ v-dawg @10:00 v-dawg, which local brewery? (If you wish to share, don't feel obliged.)
	10:01pm Your Pretend Boyfriend: Amazing show you two. Have a great day off tomorrow, Babs.
	10:01pm Alli B: Thank you so much!
