	♥ 9:07pm Pauly from Clifton: Clifton..Deep in the Heart of Jersey!
	🎸 ♥ 9:08pm Krys O.: George O'Brien who starred in Murnau's Sunrise made a ton of cowboy B-movies.
	🎸 ♥ 9:09pm Austin Rich: Thanks for your patience, as I get settled 'round the campfire. Make yerself comfy! We'll be here a spell...
	🎸 ♥ 9:09pm Krys O.: Clifton borders Bloomfield where I live.
	🎸 ♥ 9:10pm Austin Rich: Hopefully we won't have any connection issues. As I tried to log in, BUTT gave me some static. I'm gonna have to do some troubleshooting if this keeps up...
	🎸 ♥ 9:11pm Austin Rich: "The Frontier Gentleman" was part of a genre of radio serials: The Adult Western. Gritty stories, with danger and risk. Blood, shootouts... etc. Since a lot of westerns had been family and or kids shows up until this point, the "Adult Westerns" were a way to get men to listen to more radio.
	🎸 ♥ 9:12pm Kat in the chat: Can’t hang in the chat tonight, but listening!
	🎸 ♥ 9:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:12 No problem, Kat! Thanks for listening!
	♥ 9:13pm Pauly from Clifton: ↳ Krys O. @9:09 Bloomfield had one of the last free-standing Arthur Treacher's, which I loved in my younger days. Plus the State St. Diner!
	♥ 9:13pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:10 I hope so. I hope your connections will be good when we get our cast together.
	♥ 9:17pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Song: "News of The World" by "The Jam" Awesome song.
	🎸 ♥ 9:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:17 I love The Jam. And I seem to be liking them more as I get older.
	🎸 ♥ 9:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ Pauly from Clifton @9:07 I've never been to NJ, but I do hope to arrange an East Coast tour at some point.
	♥ 9:22pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: She sounds like Candy
	🎸 ♥ 9:22pm Austin Rich: While The Frontier Gentleman is an interesting cat, and certainly kind and considerate for the most part, we only get snippets of his backstory. I haven't listened to this series all the way through, so I'm sure what all we learn... but what we learn, we learn very slowly... and through his actions, mostly.
	🎸 ♥ 9:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Talk Talk Talk Talk" by "Teengenerate" One of my all-time favorite records ever made. Classic, start to finish!
	🎸 ♥ 9:27pm Austin Rich: "You got a funny way of sayin' things." That's a common theme in this show.
	🎸 ♥ 9:28pm Austin Rich: It's illegal to have guns. Of course she's got one.
	♥ 9:31pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Excellent
	♥ 9:34pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Shelton brothers were a danger, but what about Alferd Packer?
	🎸 ♥ 9:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:34 Certainly, no one I would want to mess with.
	🎸 ♥ 9:37pm Austin Rich: "He's never early, he's always late." Sigh.
	♥ 9:39pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Isn't it curious how the events in the 1800s in the American West and Jolly old' Victorian England were so similar and yet different.
	🎸 ♥ 9:40pm Austin Rich: It's funny how "short" the "American West" period actually was, before it was all settled and... essentially the way it is now.
	🎸 ♥ 9:41pm Krys O.: Good night, podnuhs!
	♥ 9:41pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Krys O. @9:41 Sleep well
	🎸 ♥ 9:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:41 Sleep well, Krys O. We'll make sure no rattlesnakes get in your bedroll tonight.
	♥ 9:43pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:42 No scorpions either
	🎸 ♥ 9:48pm Austin Rich: Seems like that Stones tune was popular. Note to self: play more Stones.
	🎸 ♥ 9:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "The One That Got Away" by "Tom Waits" This is one of my fave Tom Waits albums, and it was one of the first ones that I found on vinyl, in the wild. In fact: I found two Waits records that day, for a steal. I think some junkie needed a quick fix, and I stumbled on the records he sold. Score!
	♥ 9:56pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Guitar on this reminds me of Going to California
	🎸 ♥ 9:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Mailman" by "Legendary Pink Dots" This might be the most "country" The Legendary Pink Dots have ever sounded.
	🎸 ♥ 9:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:56 A little bit!
	🎸 ♥ 9:57pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Country & Western Song" by "Andre Williams" One of my favorite albums of 1998. I played this album a LOT on my show back then... and still do!
	♥ 10:03pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Awesome
	🎸 ♥ 10:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "War Dance" by "Jandek" Jandek is a reclusive musician, who recorded music for decades before he played his first show in front of an audience. I've seen him twice, in two different parts of the country. The shows are pretty strange, but... well... he's a pretty strange dude, from what I gather.
	🎸 ♥ 10:08pm Austin Rich: I've been a fan for so long, I helped put on a showing of a documentary about his music before he would ever play in front on audiences. Now, that documentary needs an update.
	🎸 ♥ 10:12pm Austin Rich: The Frontier Gentleman seems to be whistling / mumbling "Rule Britannia."
	10:13pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "The One That Got Away" by "Tom Waits" Hey Austin! Cooking/eating dinner n doin stuff so not commenting yet. ‘70s Tom Waits isn’t my fave era of his, but def a slew of classics on “Small Change.” I’d forgotten about that song.
	♥ 10:13pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Wonder how FG would react if he ever met Buzzardo out west. Especially if Buzzardo transformed and he saw it.
	10:14pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @9:57 Heck yeah! The first album by Mr Williams I got probably. Totally nuts.
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:13 I know what you mean about 70's Tom Waits. His later albums are VERY good, and his early albums sort of meander. But there's a few gems here and there, and I think if you play the tunes here and there divorced from the album, they stand out.
	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:14 My first music director at KWVA in Eugene was a big fan, and pushed that album on all of us. I thanked him afterwards!
	🎸 ♥ 10:17pm Heather Z: Howdy, y'all? Ding dang rootin tootin show Herr tonight, thats a fact!
	🎸 ♥ 10:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:17 Yay! Nice to see you in the chat! Sit around the campfire, and help yourself to some stew!
	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm Heather Z: I'll just have some of those beans, thanks, pardner. I'm a namby pamby citified pescatarian, after all!
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:20 Well, we call it stew, but it's mostly just broth and some celery I found.
	🎸 ♥ 10:22pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:21 Well, in that case, here's my tin cup! Thank ya kindly.
	🎸 ♥ 10:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:22 If I knew what hard tack was, I would offer it to you. But heck, I'm not even sure what it is. Jerky? Bread? Both?
	🎸 ♥ 10:24pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:23 I always thought it was jerky? Ask Cookie. They'll know.
	🎸 ♥ 10:24pm Austin Rich: The Frontier Gentleman has spent some time in India, as a soldier. But it does sound like there was some time between being a soldier and leaving India, too...
	♥ 10:24pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Song: "Headless Ghost" by "The Nightmares" Another song about a man with no head.
	🎸 ♥ 10:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:24 I'm learning this in real time: it's a biscuit / cracker! (en.wikipedia.org...)
	🎸 ♥ 10:26pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:25 Well I'll be darned!! Now I've learned too!
	🎸 ♥ 10:33pm Heather Z: Anyone for some moonshine? I have a flask. Well, more my canteen is filled with moonshine. A large flask, let's call it.
	♥ 10:34pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: watch those vultures round the campfire.
	🎸 ♥ 10:34pm Heather Z: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:34 Want me to take a few whacks at em with my trusty ukulele?
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm Austin Rich: I offer a nip off my flask if I can have a nip off of yours. (That's old west for: Hello!)
	10:35pm Mr Fab: ↳ Heather Z @10:33 Don’t mind if I do! Thank ya kindly, ma’am! tips hat
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Heather Z: ↳ Mr Fab @10:35 Any time, pardner! (Tips hat in return)
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Austin Rich: We need a "Hat Tip" emoji.
	♥ 10:37pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Heather Z @10:34 Play em a tune. Vultures are useful. They prevent corpses from polluting the ground water
	10:37pm Arvo: I'm still here, makin breakfast' stew. Carrots n' taters and all the fixins. Can't blame a sumbitch for lurkin'!
	🎸 ♥ 10:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:37 Arvo! Now it's a campfire party!
	♥ 10:38pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Song: "I've Got You" by "People Like Us" Nice mix up
	🎸 ♥ 10:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:38 Oh yeah. I really love People Like Us. Their mixes are great. (And: they are DJing on the Main WFMU channel this summer, too!)
	🎸 ♥ 10:39pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @10:37 I think we found cookie! Someone get this hardworking cowpoke a drink! Sure as heck beats celery tea.
	10:39pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "I've Got You" by "People Like Us" Wasn’t expecting an Astrud Gilberto tribute on this show, but there she was. Briefly.
	10:39pm Arvo: This is a nice lil concoction. Santo & Johnny La Bamba yessum
	10:41pm Mr Fab: People Like Us used to invite me to submit mixes to her show. One of the things that brought me to WFMU.
	10:41pm Arvo: ↳ Heather Z @10:39 I'd be much obliged, m'lady!
	🎸 ♥ 10:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:41 I think that's where I first heard your stuff!
	🎸 ♥ 10:42pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @10:41 My canteen is your canteen. Gotta keep the chef well fortified!
	10:43pm Arvo: First heard People Like Us as a DJ on WZRD. I don't remember what CD it was. It was nice discovering this stuff as I aired it on the radio. The shifts were very long sometimes, lots of gaps in the schedule. I have done radio that was ten hours long several times. It was nice to discover plunderphonics and sound collage as I was doing an improvised sound collage in real time on the radio, sometimes.
	🎸 ♥ 10:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:43 When I had a late night, three hour show, the middle hour was usually all stuff from the library at KPSU, in Portland. I made a lot of great discoveries, just digging around in the library.
	10:46pm Arvo: 🎩👨‍🌾🤠 closest I'm gonna get to a hat tip, I reckon.
	10:47pm Mr Fab: ↳ Arvo @10:43 10 hours of radio?! How did you manage that? Hope someone sent you a pizza or sumthin.
	🎸 ♥ 10:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Last Chance" by "The Wipers" I'm a big Wipers fan, and this is a underrated 90's album that doesn't get as much love as I think it should. In the early 90's, when Nirvana was covering them, Greg Sage from the Wipers was offered a new record deal, to try and capitalize on Nirvana's fame. The Wipers released a very mellow, non-rock, non-grunge album - Silver Sail - which bombed, on the radio, and critically. Then they waited a bit, and put out this album, which is really rockin', and super-great... and almost no one heard it.
	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @10:46 Keep the succotash comin and you'll get all the hat tips, pardner!
	♥ 10:52pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Wonderful time
	🎸 ♥ 10:54pm Heather Z: Awesome show, Austin, and thanks for a fun chat, y'all. Off to polish my spurs and get a little shut eye in. Giddy yup, y'all!
	♥ 10:55pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Looking forward to that project
	♥ 10:56pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Good night
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm Austin Rich: Thanks everyone! This was fun! Until next time!
	10:57pm Mr Fab: Thanks Austin, happy to be here!
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: No connection issues, except right at the top of the show. Hmmm. Hopefully this is not a recurring problem...
	🎸 ♥ 11:00pm Austin Rich: Ended at 8 on the dot! Hooray! I've still got it!
	11:04pm Arvo: ↳ Mr Fab @10:47 I did more than ten hours during a blizzard once. I believe that was 18 hours.
	11:05pm Arvo: ↳ Heather Z @10:54 Good night all! 😘

Mid-Valley Mutations with Austin Rich: Playlist from June 6, 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.

	🎸 ♥ 9:57pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Country & Western Song" by "Andre Williams" One of my favorite albums of 1998. I played this album a LOT on my show back then... and still do!
	♥ 10:03pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Awesome
	🎸 ♥ 10:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "War Dance" by "Jandek" Jandek is a reclusive musician, who recorded music for decades before he played his first show in front of an audience. I've seen him twice, in two different parts of the country. The shows are pretty strange, but... well... he's a pretty strange dude, from what I gather.
	🎸 ♥ 10:08pm Austin Rich: I've been a fan for so long, I helped put on a showing of a documentary about his music before he would ever play in front on audiences. Now, that documentary needs an update.
	🎸 ♥ 10:12pm Austin Rich: The Frontier Gentleman seems to be whistling / mumbling "Rule Britannia."
	10:13pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "The One That Got Away" by "Tom Waits" Hey Austin! Cooking/eating dinner n doin stuff so not commenting yet. ‘70s Tom Waits isn’t my fave era of his, but def a slew of classics on “Small Change.” I’d forgotten about that song.
	♥ 10:13pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Wonder how FG would react if he ever met Buzzardo out west. Especially if Buzzardo transformed and he saw it.
	10:14pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @9:57 Heck yeah! The first album by Mr Williams I got probably. Totally nuts.
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:13 I know what you mean about 70's Tom Waits. His later albums are VERY good, and his early albums sort of meander. But there's a few gems here and there, and I think if you play the tunes here and there divorced from the album, they stand out.
	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:14 My first music director at KWVA in Eugene was a big fan, and pushed that album on all of us. I thanked him afterwards!
	🎸 ♥ 10:17pm Heather Z: Howdy, y'all? Ding dang rootin tootin show Herr tonight, thats a fact!
	🎸 ♥ 10:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:17 Yay! Nice to see you in the chat! Sit around the campfire, and help yourself to some stew!
	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm Heather Z: I'll just have some of those beans, thanks, pardner. I'm a namby pamby citified pescatarian, after all!
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:20 Well, we call it stew, but it's mostly just broth and some celery I found.
	🎸 ♥ 10:22pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:21 Well, in that case, here's my tin cup! Thank ya kindly.
	🎸 ♥ 10:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:22 If I knew what hard tack was, I would offer it to you. But heck, I'm not even sure what it is. Jerky? Bread? Both?
	🎸 ♥ 10:24pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:23 I always thought it was jerky? Ask Cookie. They'll know.
	🎸 ♥ 10:24pm Austin Rich: The Frontier Gentleman has spent some time in India, as a soldier. But it does sound like there was some time between being a soldier and leaving India, too...
	♥ 10:24pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Song: "Headless Ghost" by "The Nightmares" Another song about a man with no head.
	🎸 ♥ 10:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:24 I'm learning this in real time: it's a biscuit / cracker! (en.wikipedia.org...)
	🎸 ♥ 10:26pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:25 Well I'll be darned!! Now I've learned too!
	🎸 ♥ 10:33pm Heather Z: Anyone for some moonshine? I have a flask. Well, more my canteen is filled with moonshine. A large flask, let's call it.
	♥ 10:34pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: watch those vultures round the campfire.
	🎸 ♥ 10:34pm Heather Z: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:34 Want me to take a few whacks at em with my trusty ukulele?
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm Austin Rich: I offer a nip off my flask if I can have a nip off of yours. (That's old west for: Hello!)
	10:35pm Mr Fab: ↳ Heather Z @10:33 Don’t mind if I do! Thank ya kindly, ma’am! tips hat
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Heather Z: ↳ Mr Fab @10:35 Any time, pardner! (Tips hat in return)
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Austin Rich: We need a "Hat Tip" emoji.
	♥ 10:37pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Heather Z @10:34 Play em a tune. Vultures are useful. They prevent corpses from polluting the ground water
	10:37pm Arvo: I'm still here, makin breakfast' stew. Carrots n' taters and all the fixins. Can't blame a sumbitch for lurkin'!
	🎸 ♥ 10:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:37 Arvo! Now it's a campfire party!
	♥ 10:38pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Song: "I've Got You" by "People Like Us" Nice mix up
	🎸 ♥ 10:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:38 Oh yeah. I really love People Like Us. Their mixes are great. (And: they are DJing on the Main WFMU channel this summer, too!)
	🎸 ♥ 10:39pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @10:37 I think we found cookie! Someone get this hardworking cowpoke a drink! Sure as heck beats celery tea.
	10:39pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "I've Got You" by "People Like Us" Wasn’t expecting an Astrud Gilberto tribute on this show, but there she was. Briefly.
	10:39pm Arvo: This is a nice lil concoction. Santo & Johnny La Bamba yessum
	10:41pm Mr Fab: People Like Us used to invite me to submit mixes to her show. One of the things that brought me to WFMU.
	10:41pm Arvo: ↳ Heather Z @10:39 I'd be much obliged, m'lady!
	🎸 ♥ 10:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:41 I think that's where I first heard your stuff!
	🎸 ♥ 10:42pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @10:41 My canteen is your canteen. Gotta keep the chef well fortified!
	10:43pm Arvo: First heard People Like Us as a DJ on WZRD. I don't remember what CD it was. It was nice discovering this stuff as I aired it on the radio. The shifts were very long sometimes, lots of gaps in the schedule. I have done radio that was ten hours long several times. It was nice to discover plunderphonics and sound collage as I was doing an improvised sound collage in real time on the radio, sometimes.
	🎸 ♥ 10:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:43 When I had a late night, three hour show, the middle hour was usually all stuff from the library at KPSU, in Portland. I made a lot of great discoveries, just digging around in the library.
	10:46pm Arvo: 🎩👨‍🌾🤠 closest I'm gonna get to a hat tip, I reckon.
	10:47pm Mr Fab: ↳ Arvo @10:43 10 hours of radio?! How did you manage that? Hope someone sent you a pizza or sumthin.
	🎸 ♥ 10:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Last Chance" by "The Wipers" I'm a big Wipers fan, and this is a underrated 90's album that doesn't get as much love as I think it should. In the early 90's, when Nirvana was covering them, Greg Sage from the Wipers was offered a new record deal, to try and capitalize on Nirvana's fame. The Wipers released a very mellow, non-rock, non-grunge album - Silver Sail - which bombed, on the radio, and critically. Then they waited a bit, and put out this album, which is really rockin', and super-great... and almost no one heard it.
	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @10:46 Keep the succotash comin and you'll get all the hat tips, pardner!
	♥ 10:52pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Wonderful time
	🎸 ♥ 10:54pm Heather Z: Awesome show, Austin, and thanks for a fun chat, y'all. Off to polish my spurs and get a little shut eye in. Giddy yup, y'all!
	♥ 10:55pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Looking forward to that project
	♥ 10:56pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Good night
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm Austin Rich: Thanks everyone! This was fun! Until next time!
	10:57pm Mr Fab: Thanks Austin, happy to be here!
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: No connection issues, except right at the top of the show. Hmmm. Hopefully this is not a recurring problem...
	🎸 ♥ 11:00pm Austin Rich: Ended at 8 on the dot! Hooray! I've still got it!
	11:04pm Arvo: ↳ Mr Fab @10:47 I did more than ten hours during a blizzard once. I believe that was 18 hours.
	11:05pm Arvo: ↳ Heather Z @10:54 Good night all! 😘
