Melenas	Bang "Bang" by "Melenas"	Bang Single	Trouble In Mind Records	2023	Pamplona, Spain-based band Melenas have returned with news of a new album called Ahora (“now”), which will be released on September 29 through Trouble In Mind. The first song to be shared from the collection is “Bang”, an affirmation of their self-worth and self-control. With gliding and sparkling organ churning over a motorik beat, “Bang” is immediately hypnotic, and when they start to layer in their voices it becomes downright infectious. The song is about finding power in saying “no”, of doing away with negative forces and capturing the moment for oneself. As Melenas cruise along their glistening wave of stripped-back psych, it’s easy to hear that they’re filled with self-confidence.	*	0:03:42 (Pop-up)
Good News	Kishki "Kishki" by "Good News"	Kishki Single	Bingo Records	2023	Good news, are a minimalist post punk trio from Sheffield . They have just released a fantastic new single ‘ Kishki’ sung in Russian. "he DIY aesthetic is kind of essential for us. We don’t take ourselves too seriously and also don’t have loads of time to worry too much about how polished our songs are which I think gives them a certain je nais se quoi. Lol. think it also lets us lean into the fact that I can’t actually play any instruments. I just have a big bag of things I make noises with..."	*	0:09:39 (Pop-up)
Model Citizens	Shift The Blame "Shift The Blame" by "Model Citizens"	Shift The Blame 7"	Spy Records	1979	New York new wave group that spun off some important bands when they split into The Dance and Polyrock, and a side project of The Dance backing 12 year old Chandra. John Cale produced the Model Citizens EP after he lost out on the chance to produce Television to Brian Eno. Model Citizens and its offshoots reflect an awareness of NY's minimalists - Cale played with La Monte Young's early Dream Syndicate, and Philip Glass went on to produce Polyrock.		0:11:09 (Pop-up)
The ID	The Rake "The Rake" by "The ID"	The Inner Sounds of the ID	RCA	1967	The Id released a ground-breaking concept psychedelic album in 1967… or was it one of the first of many prefab, made-in-Hollywood psych-exploit LPs? The Id was a garage band made up of turned on, hopped up California hippie types who were way ahead of their time, or were they well-seasoned, multi-talented studio and performing musicians? Paul Arnold conceived The Id, composed and scored every single note and told the band exactly what to play and how to play it. Or did the band write about half of the material? The Id came and went with a lot of questions about who they were, why they were and why they weren’t.		0:13:03 (Pop-up)
Chinese American Bear	Elephant "Elephant" by "Chinese American Bear"	Live At Hall of Justice	Rain Hat Records	2023	Their name speaks for itself. Chinese American Bear is a bubbly C-Pop duo (Bryce and Anne) creating Chinese / English tunes that bring together their cultural experiences and backgrounds. We developed a philosophy for this project which I touched on before, and we're still living by it. We feel like children when working on this project, and I think people can feel that. We like fart jokes, and we want to write songs about dumplings!		0:14:53 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: 101 Strings Orchestra	Astral Freakout	Space Rock Psychedelia	Countdown Media	2019	101 Strings Orchestra was a brand for a highly successful easy listening symphonic music organization, with a discography exceeding 150 albums and a creative lifetime of around 30 years beginning in 1957. 101 Strings had a trademark sound, focusing on melody with a laid-back ambiance most often featuring strings. Their LPs were individualized by the slogan "The Sound of Magnificence", a puffy cloud logo and sepia-toned photo of the orchestra. The 101 Strings orchestra included 124 string instruments, and was conducted by Wilhelm Stephan. The orchestra's famous official photograph was taken in the Musikhalle Hamburg.[		0:18:44 (Pop-up)

The 101'ers	Letsgetabitarockin' "Letsgetabitarockin'" by "The 101'ers"	Joe Strummer 001	Casbah Productions Limited	1976 / 2018	"The 101ers were a pub rock band from the 1970s playing mostly in a rockabilly style, notable as being the band that Joe Strummer left to join The Clash. Formed in London in May 1974, the 101ers made their performing debut on 7 September at the Telegraph pub in Brixton, under the name 'El Huaso and the 101 All Stars'. The name would later be shortened to the '101 All Stars' and finally just the '101ers'. The group played at free festivals such as Stonehenge, and established themselves on the London pub rock circuit prior to the advent of punk. //// The group was named after the squat where they lived together: 101 Walterton Road, Maida Vale, although it was for a time rumoured that they were named for "Room 101", the infamous torture room in George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. //// The band's early gigs included several at the Windsor Castle and a residency at the Elgin. They were supported by the Sex Pistols at the Nashville Room on 3 April 1976. Strummer claims that this is when he saw the light and got involved in the punk scene. Joe Strummer commented on this event in the Don Letts documentary Westway to the World on the end of the 101ers by saying "5 seconds into their (the Pistols') first song, I knew we were like yesterday's paper, we were over." //// By the time their debut single, "Keys to Your Heart", was released, Joe Strummer had joined The Clash and the 101ers were no more. Clive Timperley later joined The Passions, Dan Kelleher went to Martian Schoolgirls and The Derelicts. Richard Dudanski went on to work with The Raincoats, Basement 5 and Public Image Ltd. Tymon Dogg worked with Strummer briefly in The Clash, playing fiddle and singing his original song, "Lose This Skin", on Sandinista!, and later in The Mescaleros."		0:26:35 (Pop-up)
Wire	99.9 "99.9" by "Wire"	Read & Burn 02	Pink Flag	2002	"On their post-millennial return to the studio, Wire rediscovered no-nonsense noisemaking, trashing the art component of their pioneering art punk identity and throwing themselves headlong into a fast, loud, and bilious new philistinism. The band's first salvo, Read & Burn 01, was a stomping, short, sharp shocker, the aural equivalent of getting jumped in a dark alley by a bunch of irate, amphetamine-addled pensioners (well, Bruce Gilbert was nearing 60 when the CD appeared). A few months later, with listeners still cowering in the corner groping about for their glasses and checking for broken bones, the thuggish quartet came back to put the boot in again. Grounded in the three Rs (repetition, repetition, and repetition), Read & Burn 02 shares its predecessor's hit-and-run aesthetic: it's a post-industrial punk rock barrage of buzzing, stinging guitars; chunky basslines; and clockwork beats littered with terse, strangled vocals that fall somewhere between bolshy, pre-brawl aggression and football-terrace chants. The sound of Wire 2002 rarely lets you catch your breath. From the title track's deconstructed glam rock rhythms to the metallic rush of "Nice Streets Above" to the hectoring speedcore of "Raft Ants," these numbers seem fueled by a "last-one-to-the-end-of-the-song's-a-sissy" competition among the bandmembers. But while the overriding feel is one of menace and urgency, there are some less-fraught moments. It's a good cop/bad cop routine: Amid the general sonic onslaught, part of "Trash/Treasure" sees Colin Newman trading his heckling delivery for almost soothing vocals and Wire playing pop in a way that recalls their better '80s material. Still, Gilbert, Grey, Graham Lewis, and Newman have never had much time for nostalgia, and the new level of assaultive energy here emphasizes that the band is still reinventing itself. Read & Burn 02 is the sound of Wire not so much looking back as looking forward in anger."		0:28:42 (Pop-up)
Pere Ubu	Cloud 149 "Cloud 149" by "Pere Ubu"	Datapanik in the Year Zero: 1975-1977 (Disc 1)	Hearthan / DGC	1976 / 1996	Originally the B-side of the 1976 "Final Solution" single, this song has been re-released on various compilations & reissues since. This version is taken from the 1996 Box Set "Datapanik in the Year Zero" "which catalogues their initial phase of existence up to their 1982 break-up (which later turned out to be merely a hiatus). The title was first used by the band for a 1978 EP which compiled their first singles; the name was "recycled" for this release. The name references the Cold War film Panic in Year Zero! (1962). / This box set compiles the original EP of the same name, their first five albums (which were out of print at the time this set was released), along with a disc of live material, and another of related rarities. It omits "Use of a Dog" from Song of the Bailing Man, "Humor Me", "Not Happy" and "Lonesome Cowboy Dave" from Terminal Tower and the vocal version of "Arabia" from The Art of Walking. Since, according to David Thomas, Pere Ubu do not produce outtakes or alternate versions (aside from a few anomalies related to an early version of The Art of Walking), the rarities disc is unique in that it features groups that were sometimes only tangentially related to Ubu, in an effort to present an overview of the mercurial Cleveland scene out of which they grew. In 2009, Cooking Vinyl released a remastered version of the box set. It restores "Use of a Dog" but omits the fourth disc of live recordings.""		0:36:26 (Pop-up)
Primal Scream	96 Tears "96 Tears" by "Primal Scream"	Kowalski (Single)	Creation / Reprise	1997	My favourite cover of this classic song. It sounds like Suicide redlining Bubblegum Soul." Still my favourite period of Primal Scream & likely to always be. Engineer [Engineered By] – Max Hayes / Producer [Produced By], Mixed By – Brendan Lynch, Primal Scream / Recorded By – Primal Scream / Written-By – Rudy Martinez"		0:39:16 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: 99 Luftballons	Nidbärgschrinzer Mels	Sound	Tyrolis	2004	"Über die bereits mehr als 30 Jahre haben die Nidbärgschrinzer viel erlebt und viele Guggner kommen und gehen. In der aktuellen Fasnachtssaison dürfen die Nidbärgschrinzer rund 50 Schrinzer in ihren Reihen zählen, die zum unvergleichlichen und weit über Mels hinaus bekannten Guggensound beitragen. Unter der Leitung von Major Mario Ackermann und Präsident Lukas Ackermann zelebriert diese seit jeher eingeschworene Truppe alle Facetten der Fasnacht – auf wie neben der Bühne. Auch nach über 30 bewegten Jahren hat sich ihr Wahlspruch nicht geändert: Freud Ha!"		0:42:15 (Pop-up)
Debt Rag	Say Ah! "Say Ah!" by "Debt Rag"	Lost To The Fantasy	Post Present Medium	2023	A statement that appears to be anti-artspeak, anti-nostalgia and anti-aesthetic in general, their music isn't supposed to be pleasant. It's art that's visceral because that's precisely the point: Debt Rag want you to feel uncomfortable and question what it is they're doing, because to switch off completely is to let the idiots (or the algorithm) truly win. Their music isn't throwback either, it's punk that doesn't purposefully look towards the Discord canon or Bikini Kill for its stylistic pointers. Rather the trio attempt to bend familiarity into awkward, unsettling shapes, using cheap toys and playing purposefully off-piste to sound more like Captain Beefheart jamming with Dirty Projectors.		0:50:27 (Pop-up)
Isotope Soap	Clarity "Clarity" by "Isotope Soap"	In Need of Systemic Entropy	Push My Buttons	2022	The glorious synth freaks from Stockholm are back, and ISOTOPE SOAP has outdone themselves here. SPITS, TG, SCREAMERS, DEPARTMENT S vibes all collide with a heavy emphasis on bizarre structures and a timeless sound that refuses to fit in any decade past or present. If anything, In Need of Systematic Energy is slightly more accessible than some of their previous efforts (with a title track that belongs on every mixtape you make this year), but you still never know what to expect from one track to the next. Worth noting that RAPED TEENAGERS and PUSRAD personnel are behind this genius…which is not even remotely surprising.		0:52:21 (Pop-up)
Kerosene Kream	Where Is My Dog? "Where Is My Dog?" by "Kerosene Kream"	Look Mom	Kerosene Kream	2020	The band hails from Stockholm. They describe themselves as "Artificial rock from the hands of the Automated Worker." They’ve got a quirky vibe, not in an arty or weirdo way but fun, like if GORILLA ANGREB was really the B-52’S. All four songs are upbeat and have strong pop hooks, elevated by multiple charismatic vocalists and a layer of electronics that liven up the whole production. It’s okay and even healthy to have a little fun every once in a while, so if you’re brooding as much as I am these days look no further than KEROSENE KREAM if you need a little pick-me-up.		0:55:06 (Pop-up)
The Particles	Family Life "Family Life" by "The Particles"	The Trumpet Song (Comp)	Chapter Music	2023	The Particles name began in the mid to late 1970s and the original band, albeit a loose outfit was formed during the very earliest stages of the new Punk music that was sweeping Britain and Eastern USA at the time. News of this phenomenon spread quickly to Australia and within a few months there were bands forming in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. The rawest examples of this were coming out of a small block of flats in Berry Street, North Sydney. The building was a crumbling mess, inside and out, but it was Sydney's centre of punk music with bands rehearsing regularly. Some of the bands which visited Berry Street include The Cleaners, The Last Words, and from Brisbane, The Saints. In one of the flats there were The Particles, initially formed by Peter Williams and Mick Smith. The building, not surprisingly was condemned and the tenants evicted. The Berry Street flats have since been pulled down and replaced by a shopping mall.		0:58:25 (Pop-up)
Kalle Hygien	Snake In My Garden "Snake In My Garden" by "Kalle Hygien"	The Raft	Self Released	2023	KALLE HYGIEN appears to be the solo project of Kalle Jansson, whom you may know from the Swedish garage rock act the MANIKINS. This is the first LP from the project after a handful of EPs of aggro drum machine punk...and a bit of a departure!		1:00:44 (Pop-up)

Brix Smith	Livin Thru My Despair "Livin Thru My Despair" by "Brix Smith"	Valley of the Dolls	Grit Over Glamour	2023	Released March 2023 & produced by Youth; Brix returns with an all-female lineup & an opening song that is directly aimed at the memory of living in Mark E. Smith's world as his first wife... Writes the Telegraph: "For many men of a certain age, Brix Smith Start will always be Mrs Mark E Smith, the effusive bottle-blonde guitarist who left California for Prestwich to wed The Fall’s lunatic singer, and to steer his band in a winningly alt-pop direction through the mid-’80s. //// As was cautionarily detailed in Brix’s 2016 autobiography, The Rise, The Fall, And The Rise, the rest of her life has often been about recovering from the trauma of those years, including entirely switching profession as a boutique owner, and then recording three albums with other ex-Fall members under the name Brix & The Extricated, in the hope of achieving closure. //// The therapy, however, is still ongoing on this solo debut, as opener Living Thru My Despair finds Smith Start revisiting “Manchester, my old hometown,” and painful memories of her first marriage (“empty speed wraps on the sink, the amber liquid that you drink – it can’t’ve been every gal’s dream come true”). //// Yet, as its title implies, Valley of the Dolls is a summation of her entire life trajectory thus far, since childhood in suburban Los Angeles. California Smile accentuates the positive in making a life in the UK instead of amid the Sunshine State’s empty plasticity, while other tracks (Valley Girl, Aphrodite, etc) reveal a furious feminist awakening. //// These urgent personal issues are robustly supported by Brix’s fearsome all-female band (two members are borrowed from ’90s noiseniks My Bloody Valentine, a further two from severe-sounding arrivistes Deux Furieuses)..."	*	1:17:31 (Pop-up)
Marc Riley with the Creepers	Jumper Clown (Live)	Warts 'N' All - Live in Amsterdam	In Tape	1985	Perhaps one of the earliest songs from an ex-Fall member written overtly about Mark E. Smith; not long after that member and Mark E. Smith, uh, "parted ways". Not only was Mark E. Smith known to wear sweaters, but the vocal segment "Dare to dance on an Aussie floor, bloody nose bloody bore" was a direct reference to an incident on tour where Mark E Smith & Marc Riley got into a physical altercation. M.E.S. had been peppering Fall songs w/ anti-Riley sentiments since the split, and wrote a song entitled "Hey! Marc Riley" (studio version "Hey! Ma Riley". Says one Fall online theorist of that song: "likely to be about that infamous incident in Australia where the band were all getting slaps in the face courtesy of MES for dancing at a nightclub after having performed a sloppy gig due to jetlag/lack of sleep. Come Riley's turn, he socks Mark in the face instead, resulting in a black eye that required much makeup to cover when the pair appeared on the "Sounds" program the next day. It was also Kay Carrol's idea that Marc should accompany him (the studio had told them MES and one more member were to appear but didn't specify who) to patch things up, seeing as they still had a tour to finish. The punch is also referred to in Riley's "Jumper Clown" with the lines "Dare to dance on an Aussie Floor / Bloody nose, bloody bore."" / Though, the take in the Guardian years later was that "Smith slapped the other members of the band for having the temerity to dance to the Clash’s Rock the Casbah." One last point of interest to Fall fanatics, the keyboard line is almost the same (transposed to a different key) as the one Marc Riley played on the early live versions of "The Man Whose Head Expanded". The Fall would release it as a single the following year without him or his keyboard part. He wryly reinstates it here.		1:21:52 (Pop-up)
HOUSE Of ALL	Turning Of The Years	HOUSE Of ALL	Tiny Global Productions	2023	Released April 22, 2023. Many of the songs on this album feature lyrical references to Mark E. Smith, and this one is seemingly no exception. According to the Quietus: "Turning of the Years, the last track is the one that Fall fanatics will have a whale of a time analysing. The conclusion they will probably jump to is that it is about the complicated friendship between Martin Bramah and Mark E Smith. --- ‘Lost in a childish game / I never gave up on you / with the turning of the years. This is not the man I thought I knew. Drink with us he says. Gentlemen indeed.' --- Bramah said only that the song is about nostalgia and regret. But there are clues which point to it being at least partly about the frenemity between the two." ... As for the band... "House of All features founding Fall guitarist Martin Bramah (guitar and vocals), bassist Stephen Hanley (whose 20 years in the Fall between 1978 and 1998 make him that band’s longest-serving member after Smith), and his drummer brother Paul. Simon Wolstencroft, from the band’s 80s/90s incarnation, completes a two-drummer lineup, along with guitarist Pete Greenway, who spent a decade in the Fall." [The last decade of the band's existence.] //// "The unimaginable Fall-without-MES has two precedents: Brix & The Extricated and the ghost-ship that was Imperial Wax. Both were good, but this, House of All really is, to use Peels favourite descriptive, a mighty band. //// Followers of Blue Orchids know what an endlessly fascinating lyricist Bramah is, but his vocals are the most confident & serious he has ever sounded somehow, relying on the flow of the words and a bit of reverb rather than holding-notes or melody... If you were expecting his astringent Witch-Trials guitar sound you get the complete opposite: throughout the album he uses an ‘Electro-Harmonix, C9 Organ Machine’, effects pedal. It basically turns the guitar into an organ!"" //// The upcoming June 2023 issue of "The Wire" magazine will have a fair chunk of it devoted to Mark E Smith, The Fall & Fall related things, including an interview with HOUSE Of ALL: "House Of All: Tessa Norton talks to the new band formed by ex-Fall members about life after Mark E Smith." The Wire Issue 472 Lastly, "HOUSE Of ALL have finished their (fantastic) second album, which is replete with Pete’s unique brilliance." HOUSE Of ALL (Bandcamp)	*	1:25:44 (Pop-up)
The Fall	Jetplane "Jetplane" by "The Fall"	Re-Mit	Cherry Red Records	2013	From the Annotated Fall: "Recently leaked demos and/or outtakes include a track entitled "Suddenly, Certainly." Musically this is quite different from "Jetplane," but the vocal portion consists of the above refrain, with the same melody. It seems to be the kernel of a song idea which was subsumed by "Jetplane.""		1:29:17 (Pop-up)
The Fall	Suddenly, Certainly "Suddenly, Certainly" by "The Fall"	O-Mit	Cherry Red Records	2023	An unreleased outtake from Re-Mit, though the refrain would be dropped into the song "Jetplane", one of my many favourite later-Fall songs. RE: O-MIt -- "Tracks here are previously unheard out-takes from sessions that spawned 2013’s Re-Mit album."	*	1:32:24 (Pop-up)
Brix & The Extricated	Heavy Crown	Breaking State	Grit Over Glamour	2018	"That the Extricated recorded a well-received debut album, let alone a second record is, when you think about it, pretty remarkable. The odds were stacked against them. The band formed by previous Fall members Brix, Steve and Paul Hanley and Steve Trafford (plus guitarist Jason Brown, who was never in The Fall) has occasionally been dismissed as a “tribute band” (“how can we be a tribute to ourselves?” says Brix, indignant) or a nostalgia act (“I don't think so!”). It’s a ghost they put to rest quickly by outgrowing their initial selling-point of playing the great songs Mark E Smith... While musically Breaking States plays happily with dischord and attitude, not least in the unmistakable sound of Steve Hanley's bass playing, it’s also an extremely tender and often uncomfortably honest experience, not surprising given the death of Mark E Smith... something which can't help but impact an album featuring both his ex-wife and the bass player who stood by him on stage for nearly 20 years. “The shock of him leaving the planet left a big, empty hole for me” says Brix of the man that brought her to Britain after meeting her on tour in the US as a 21-year-old in 1983, “I struggled. For three months I don't think I went out.” Only one song on the record is explicitly about Smith, the penultimate 'Heavy Crown', but his presence, and the need to move on from it, and from tragedy in general hangs over the whole album..." //// Here's that song.		1:36:18 (Pop-up)

Backspace	Three Mothers "Three Mothers" by "Backspace"	Face of The Night	Maybe Mars	2022	Beijing's Backspace cultivates the beauty within the chaos and embedded with an all-embracing empathy of the actions of both the humans and creatures that roam our planet – the unassuming six-eyed dragonfly, the patient desert lizard, the droning ants, the frenzied rabbit – the band strikes a chord that’s playful, invigorating, and filled with both wonder, urgency, and sly dissonance. A cacophony of sounds bombards the senses and needle their way into our brain tissue as tropical birds call across the trees, dogs furiously bark in the background, synths buoyantly led us from one verse to another, and the swirl of guitars and drums throw listeners into a trance. It’s the equivalent of dancing around a bonfire in the embrace of a humid, moon-lit jungle, high on the shared communal experience of music.		1:47:45 (Pop-up)
Al Thoulathy al Mareh الثلاثي المرح	Asmar Ya Sokkar	Zamaan Ya Sukkar - Exotic Love Songs And Instrumentals From The Egyptian 60’s	Souma Records	2018	An Egyptian singing trio that appeared at the end of the fifties coinciding with the union between Egypt and Syria on February 22, 1958. The band initially included Sana Al Baroni and Safaa Lutfi, and then Wafaa Mustafa joined them. Musician Ali Ismail called them El Tholathi El Mareh (The Merry Trio).

	8:13pm Robm: ↳ DJ Babs @8:12 What is the temp there?
	🏝 8:14pm Kristine: oooh this is fantastic!!
	8:14pm DJ Babs: It's like 30 feelin like 32!
	🏝 8:14pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Robm @8:11 Not distortion mate, distraction to my hearing DJ voices.
	8:14pm DJ Babs: ↳ Kristine @8:14 YES RIGHT?! I didn't know that members of this band eventually became the Dance....
	8:14pm Derek Westerholm: Around 30-ish, with a "real feel" of mid-30's... Degrees Celsius. AKA 90+ Farheneit.
	🏝 8:15pm Scott_Oz: ↳ laurapanic @8:11 Can we talk to you mate? 🍻😎🤙💨☕🌻
	8:15pm DJ Babs: I need to get my arse into an ocean or pool VERY soon
	8:15pm Robm: ↳ Scott_Oz @8:14 Understand noe
	8:16pm Juli: !!!!
	🏝 8:16pm Kristine: this is also really good!
	8:16pm Robm: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:14 Damn thats hot for you guys
	8:16pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Scott_Oz @8:14 It's on us to be able to monitor our voice/under the voice ratio, but unfortunately our mixers are all jerry-rigged and janky & not made for proper radio live broadcasting... My ambition is to remedy that, but it's been a lazy ambition to this point... Maybe by show 202...
	8:17pm Robm: Hey juli
	8:17pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Robm @8:16 We get that & more pretty consistently through the summer, sometimes for many days on end w/ crazy humidity.
	8:17pm DJ Babs: LOL. Our setup is great for DJing...but less than optimal for actual radio...and helloooooo Juli!!!! Welcome welcome!
	🏝 8:17pm Kristine: this sounds like a cover of death from above 1979..
	8:17pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Juli @8:16 Hello Juli! Welcome!
	8:17pm Robm: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:17 Ouch that bites
	8:18pm Juli: ↳ Robm @8:17 Hiiiiii::::} How is the world for you today?
	8:18pm DJ Babs: ↳ Kristine @8:17 It's actually a Tame Impala cover!!!
	8:18pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "Elephant" by "Chinese American Bear" is this a King Lizzard cover?
	🏝 8:18pm Kristine: ah thats it!
	8:18pm laurapanic: ↳ DJ Babs @8:18 aaaaaah yeh that's it!!
	8:18pm Robm: ↳ Juli @8:18 Oh pretty good had a nice quiet dsy with no assholes
	8:19pm Robm: ↳ Robm @8:18 Thanks for asking
	8:19pm DJ Babs: One of my favourite Tame Impala tunes. This band is cool! They sing everything in Chinese...they are very much about the mixed race experience first hand...they are super cute and write very fun songs of their own!
	8:20pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Robm @8:17 I'm okay with the heat in that range and preferably just below... It's the oppressively hot & humid days stacked in a row that I'm not a fan of. But we're lucky enough all in all... Some of the heat around the world has gotten to be pretty tragic... We're still ok, just sticky and quite hot at times.
	8:20pm Juli: ↳ Robm @8:19 Sure thing! :: Hooray Hoorah Let's have fun nights & days & such
	8:21pm Juli: Etc & Such & Success Success Success In all we wish :::}}
	8:24pm Robm: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:20 Like when you don’t have air @Juli I agree
	8:30pm DJ Babs: I think air is pretty goddamn important!
	8:31pm Robm: ↳ DJ Babs @8:30 When i used to live in south Florida oh hell yeah
	8:31pm DJ Babs: Ya can't live without it!
	8:32pm Derek Westerholm: Something makes me so childishly happy to play a song called "Letsgetabitarockin'" and follow it up w/ this. Haha.
	8:32pm DJ Babs: I read this crazy clickbait article on FB that says that if the world had no oxygen for 5 seconds most of us would be ok...but if it suddenly disappeared for that duration the crust of the earth would collapse because it's made of 40% oxygen molecules...
	8:33pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ DJ Babs @8:32 What would happen if it was for 3 seconds?
	8:33pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ DJ Babs @8:32 What kind of bait was clicked?
	8:34pm Derek Westerholm: So many questions...
	8:34pm DJ Babs: I’m not sure. The article specified 5 seconds only
	8:35pm DJ Babs: I will say I was at the Wire show and it was pretty face melting
	8:35pm DJ Babs: This was a good tour.
	8:36pm Krys O.: Hello and Congratulations!
	🏝 8:36pm Kristine: i had to look to see what band this is, was surprised its wire. not familiar with this era at all! wish i had seen them live...
	8:36pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ DJ Babs @8:34 Right, I was kind of being silly and playful... Or annoying...
	8:36pm Juli: Only you what I wonder lol
	8:36pm Robm: ↳ DJ Babs @8:31 Yeah i know and was watching something on youtube about just what would happen if air was as lost for five seconds very interesting
	8:36pm DJ Babs: ↳ Krys O. @8:36 Hello hello Krys! Welcome welcome!
	8:36pm Juli: As if we the ppl are to blame for the authority's mistakes No no
	8:37pm DJ Babs: ↳ Robm @8:36 Ok so I’m not crazy!?
	8:37pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @8:36 They were great at this time. Had the good fortune to open for them & get this CD signed by one of them. Lucky days!
	8:37pm Robm: ↳ Juli @8:36 What are you talking about @Babs no you are not
	8:37pm DJ Babs: ↳ Kristine @8:36 This era of Wire was excellent! I think Derek’s band opened this show at Lee’s Palace!
	🏝 8:38pm Kristine: ah, this must have been in the aughts...right?
	8:39pm Tyler: YAY! Pere UBU!
	8:39pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @8:38 Yup, 2002 or 2003, I think.
	8:39pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @8:37 Damn! I missed WIRE!
	8:39pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @8:39 I, know, right? Their newest album is sounding fantastic, too!
	8:39pm Derek Westerholm: + Hello Tyler!
	8:39pm Juli: ↳ Robm @8:37 Oh sorry I digress
	8:39pm DJ Babs: ↳ Kristine @8:38 Yes the dawn of the new millennium! It’s so funny I always think oh yeah 2005 wasn’t that long ago and then I’m like OOOF lol
	🏝 8:39pm Kristine: yeah, dont know why i missed that.
	8:40pm Robm: ↳ Juli @8:39 Don’t worry about it
	8:40pm Tyler: Good Evening - BTW!
	8:40pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:39 Hi Derek!
	🏝 8:40pm Kristine: ↳ DJ Babs @8:39 it was an exciting time, those years!
	8:41pm Tyler: @Babs & Derek - Happy Hundredth!
	8:41pm DJ Babs: I saw a super cute couple strollin down our street today and he was wearing a Pere Ubu shirt and she had a Television shirt and I was like…👍
	8:41pm DJ Babs: ↳ Kristine @8:40 It was…it seemed like anything was possible! A far more innocent time to be sure!
	8:41pm DJ Babs: Heloooooooo Tyler!
	🏝 8:42pm Kristine: I heard Faust and Pere Ubu are playing a show in new york in a few weeks which gives me serious FOMO. I mean, wouldnt that be an amazing gig to go to?
	8:42pm DJ Babs: However I do still enjoy living in the now as fucked as it all is!
	8:43pm DJ Babs: ↳ Kristine @8:42 Ohhh woooooow….
	8:43pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:37 I've been online friends with Colin Newman since the myspace days. Go the band to sign my copy of Silver/Lead & saw a very intimate Githead recording session in a silo at an Apple orchard in Brampton. Had a beer & a Hot Dog with Colin & Malka. Githead are also excellent - BTW
	8:43pm Robm: ↳ DJ Babs @8:42 And we are fucked
	8:43pm Derek Westerholm: I played a few seconds of track 4 from this single, just special for you all, totally intentionally, before queuing back properly to track 3. (This one.) Really, honest... I meant to do that... Sigh.
	8:43pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @8:41 Hiya BABS!
	8:43pm DJ Babs: ↳ Robm @8:43 We suuuuuuure are!!!
	8:44pm DJ Babs: Omg Derek! Lol
	8:44pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:37 I was probably at that show & saw you play, though I didn't know you then...
	8:44pm DJ Babs: This is bringing me joy.
	8:44pm Tyler: 99 Luftrombones! :)
	8:44pm Robm: ↳ DJ Babs @8:43 Really gets to the point where i don’t want to watch the news
	8:44pm DJ Babs: ↳ Tyler @8:44 😂😂😂
	🏝 8:45pm Kristine: hahah this is funny. thanks for the german liner notes. they are talking about carnival music!!
	8:45pm DJ Babs: ↳ Robm @8:44 At least we have 99 Lufttrombones
	8:45pm DJ Babs: ↳ Kristine @8:45 I need to hear this entire record
	8:46pm Juli: <3 Sigh.
	🏝 8:46pm Kristine: LOL Derek!
	8:47pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "96 Tears" by "Primal Scream" Didn't Suicide cover Put A Little Love In Your Heart? (granted it was less a cover than a Suicide song with those words) The original 96 Tears is superior.
	8:47pm ultradamno: Oh, I thought that was what you just talking down, never mind
	8:48pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:47 I agree the OG is a classic but I like Primal Scream’s take on everything!
	8:49pm Tyler: ↳ Kristine @8:42 See Pere Ubu if you can! I saw them at Lee's Palace. It was incredible! Dave Thomas was wearing this weird electronic butcher's apron that make all of these crazy electronic noises when he touched it in different places. Also saw the Rocket From The Tombs reunion show which was also amazing but very different and closer to their Stooges roots.
	8:50pm ultradamno: 99 Luftballoons, like that Major Tom song, almost defies liking or not, just for being THE go to examples of nuclear paranoia 80s pop
	8:50pm Tyler: ↳ ultradamno @8:47 The reissue of A Way Of Life has Suicide covering Bruce Springsteen's Born In The USA. I'm dying to get it!
	8:51pm Feldy: Hiya guys!
	8:51pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @8:50 The Peter Schilling Major Tom song, I'm talking about...
	8:51pm DJ Nico: Happy 100!
	🏝 8:52pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Feldy @8:51 G'day Feldy!🍻😎🤙💨🍺🛵
	8:52pm DJ Babs: Hello Hello Nico!
	8:52pm Robm: Hi feldy
	8:53pm Juli: Lol this song is funnnnn.
	8:53pm DJ Babs: Hi Feldy! Welcome!
	8:53pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ DJ Nico @8:51 Thanks Nico! And 101! We folded a couple of numbers into one show, haha.
	8:53pm DJ Babs: I agree! I love the shambolic nonsense and crazy trumpet!
	8:53pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Feldy @8:51 Feldy, hello! Hope all is excellent in your world!
	8:53pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Say Ah!" by "Debt Rag" Damn, this sounds like Preening covering Pink Section. I must investigate
	8:55pm DJ Babs: Derek has complained it's too Devo reverent which is WHY I LOVE IT
	8:55pm ultradamno: I understand my copy of the new Protomartyr will be here tomorrow...looking forward to it.
	8:56pm Tyler: Definitely hear the DEVO. Reminds me of a great local band called Strange Attractor that I caught by chance at the Bovine.
	8:56pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @8:50 Good point re: 99LB & MT
	8:56pm DJ Babs: Ohhh that’s amazing! Yes the marathon gifts are out in the mail! I’m looking forward to my new swag arriving!!!
	8:57pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:55 Oh wait protomartyr that was not one of our marathon prizes! So you just ordered it?
	8:57pm ultradamno: ↳ Tyler @8:50 www.rollingstone.com...
	8:58pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @8:50 I've never been much of a Springsteenite, but I do love how he paid homage to Suicide on Nebraska. That was pretty unexpected. I know he has a wider range than I give him credit for as a casual observer.
	8:58pm DJ Babs: I’m excited to be getting my copy of THE TWANG MACHINE in the mail soon!
	8:59pm ultradamno: ↳ DJ Babs @8:57 Yeah, pre-ordered through Bandcamp protomartyr.bandcamp.com...
	8:59pm DJ Babs: And I received a wonderful gift from the super amazing Alli last week! She gifted me a 45 of a cover of knights in white satin by Patricia…I have been lusting after that record for YEARS!
	🏝 8:59pm Kristine: who else is going to see protomartyr on June 13?
	9:00pm DJ Babs: I’m not….but I am going to see the cure!!! That’s on the 14th!
	9:00pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:58 I respect Springsteen, but not really a fan. Just interested in what Suicide will do with the material.
	9:00pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @8:56 Strange Attractor are from Sudbury! Or were. I played with them in a... venue... that was a family garage run by the opening band's parents. It made me that much more fond of Sudbury, which I do have an honest fondness for.
	🏝 9:00pm Kristine: ↳ Tyler @8:49 i was there too but go there too late, i missed their set, I was so mad!
	9:01pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @9:00 I'd love to hear that, too, Tyler!
	9:01pm Androu B.: Good Evening DJ Babs & Derek! Congrats on the prestigious milestone! Here's to 100 more shows!🍷 It can only get better from here! Oh, and I heard Martin Rev is in town! So wondered if you were planning on playing some Rev tunes tonight just for the occasion.
	9:02pm Tyler: ↳ Kristine @9:00 OH, that's a drag, Kristine :(
	9:02pm ultradamno: ↳ Tyler @9:00 I was close friends with a guy in high school who loved Springsteen so much it put me off him forever. I liked Darkness On The Edge... for a minute though...
	9:02pm Juli: Oh never succumb to family life lol
	9:02pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @9:00 If I recall properly, Highway Patrolman was the song which was his homage to Suicide on the Nebraska album. Worth a listen.
	9:03pm Juli: IN my hearts Not in my mind negatively My folks are nice now lol
	9:03pm Tyler: ↳ Androu B. @9:01 Martin Rev show is tonight at the Garrison. I wanted to see it, but have too much going on this week & it was a little pricey. I've seen him solo before & with Suicide.
	9:03pm Juli: Yay!~ Way into Mindfulness & Yoga
	9:03pm ultradamno: ↳ Juli @9:02 Helpful graph on the subject twitter.com...
	9:04pm Juli: ↳ ultradamno @9:03 Truth.
	9:04pm DJ Babs: ↳ Juli @9:02 agreed 100% Juli!!!
	9:04pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:02 I think Springsteen did a cover of Frankie Teardrop, but not sure if it was released.
	9:05pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Androu B. @9:01 Ha, Androu, I just played a song by Primal Scream that reminds me of Suicide... If we are running short tonight, we can try to worm something in, but not sure where the timing will go tonight. Now that Bob Barth is following us (please stick around and listen!) we can't go past our allotted broadcast time any longer.
	9:05pm ultradamno: Odd interview with Martin Rev with actress/director Zoe Lister-Jones www.youtube.com...
	9:06pm Tyler: ↳ ultradamno @9:02 Some of Springsteen's stuff is alright. My brother & I borrowed from the library a documentary about 'We Are The World' In the bonus features there are clips of isolated vocal takes. Springsteen's constipation takes were HILARIOUS! :)
	9:08pm ultradamno: Scientists, No and Snapper are all good for the Suicide vibe at different points in their careers too.
	9:12pm Androu B.: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:05 Caught the Primal Scream tune & loved it! You bet I'll be sticking around 'til the end!
	9:12pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "Family Life" by "The Particles" one of the Particles is now in the Cannanes
	9:13pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:00 MEEPMOOP FOR MAYOR!
	9:13pm Alli B: I didn’t know that about the debate!
	9:13pm Bob Barth: Good evening gang!
	9:13pm ultradamno: I didn't mind it sounding like Devo, I just always expect to sound more like Geza X, with that name.
	9:14pm ultradamno: (I guess that's not a super wide gulf...but a gulf)
	9:15pm Tyler: DEVO is tearing Babs & Derek apart! :)
	9:15pm ultradamno: Well, if it makes you feel better, Chris Christie decided him running for president again is what we needed down here right now.
	9:16pm DJ Nico: Beach buddies 🏖️
	9:16pm Tyler: ↳ ultradamno @9:15 We see your Chris Christie with Brad Bradford - YOUR MOVE! :)
	9:16pm Robm: ↳ ultradamno @9:15 I thought christie was running?
	9:17pm shellioh: i made it! yay!!!!
	9:17pm Tyler: ↳ ultradamno @9:15 You know your candidate is out of ideas when they can't even come up with 2 different names :)
	9:17pm ultradamno: ↳ Robm @9:16 That was I was saying, yes.
	9:18pm DJ Babs: LOL Thank you for putting up with us freaks you guys!
	🏝 9:20pm Scott_Oz: ↳ DJ Babs @9:18 We are a Fraternity of Freaks mate! 🍻😎🤙💨🌻
	9:20pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "Livin Thru My Despair" by "Brix Smith" oooh this sounds interesting! I recently got into the Brix collab with Marty Wilson-Piper (ex-Church) and its great.
	9:20pm DJ Babs: Hi Androu! Hi Bob! And Hello hello Shelli!!!!!
	9:20pm shellioh: love this!
	9:21pm Robm: ↳ DJ Babs @9:18 We are all freaks in a way:) @Ultradamno the way you wrote it did not make sense
	9:21pm ultradamno: ↳ Tyler @9:17 I will say this is interesting, I always thought DeSantis was less Trump Light that Chris Christie in sucking up to Trump mode light...so it will be interesting to see if CC knocks Ron out as the original flavor, or if CC's sense of intellectual superiority (not necessarily earned, mind you) is a liability
	9:21pm northguineahills: echo beach, where i come for metadata (being a metadata geek)
	9:21pm ultradamno: ↳ Robm @9:21 It's called irony.
	9:21pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ shellioh @9:20 Shelli! Yay! So happy you are loving this one! Hello!
	9:22pm DJ Babs: ↳ laurapanic @9:20 Brix can be hit or miss but when she’s on she’s on! And yes Shelli…kinda Britpop no? Or Brixpop….
	9:22pm Tyler: ↳ ultradamno @9:21 Always encouraging when the candidates impersonate one another :)
	9:22pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ northguineahills @9:21 Haha... Thanks Northguineahills! We're low on links this week, but hopefully the show's a good one!
	9:22pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @9:21 Hey NGH
	9:22pm DJ Babs: Hello north Guinea!
	9:22pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Babs @9:22 yoesers!
	9:23pm Tyler: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:20 ONE OF US!
	9:25pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Bob Barth @9:13 Hello Bob Barth! Ready to roll out "One Night Stand" at 10pm, right after us? Looking forward!
	9:25pm ultradamno: ↳ Tyler @9:22 We are deep in political tribute acts, that's for sure.
	9:26pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @9:15 lol... Devo, Devo will tear us apart... again.
	9:27pm DJ Babs: LOL. I agree my tolerance for political bullshit is at an all time low. Our main issue is affordable housing here in Toronto. It’s getting very brutal!
	9:28pm laurapanic: HERE WE ARE AT THE FALL SECTION OF THE SHOW AND I LOOK FORWARD TO IT. The stories are fascinating. Jumper Clown is perfect
	9:28pm Tyler: ↳ ultradamno @9:25 Ronald Reagan - The Broadway Musical :)
	9:28pm northguineahills: i prefer to keep my synapses in working order, and ignore the d-word. i'm reminded enough everyday thanks to his idiotic sycophants i see daily...
	9:29pm Robm: ↳ DJ Babs @9:27 Which is why i don’t watch cable news anymore, give me the BBC or the CBC, at least i will hear about other parts of the world besides the states
	9:30pm Tyler: ↳ Robm @9:29 Reuters & Aljezeera come in handy at times
	9:31pm ultradamno: ↳ Tyler @9:28 I think the right may have gotten far enough afield of what was far right then as to abandon even giving lip service to Bonzo anymore
	🏝 9:31pm Kristine: mighty band indeed!
	9:31pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @9:28 Unfortunately you are in enemy territory with Florida @Tyler have aljezeera as an app
	9:31pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ laurapanic @9:28 Awww, thanks Laura... You're a wonderful enabler of my Fall & Fall related broadcasting ways...
	9:31pm Tyler: FALL-CON!
	9:32pm northguineahills: ↳ Robm @9:31 plox send halp!
	9:32pm Tyler: ↳ Robm @9:31 Hilarious that Florida's Governor has declared war on Disney :)
	9:33pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @9:31 I truly love this Jetplane song
	9:34pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:33 You always help me to navigate the vast Fall landscape so I can plan my next trip.
	9:34pm Androu B.: ↳ DJ Babs @9:27 Those of us here in New Jersey can sympathize. Even a basic apartment can run up to at least $2400. In fact, this state was rated the most expensive to live in.
	9:34pm ultradamno: ↳ Tyler @9:32 He was kind of following an odd trend of Trumpies trying to run business out their states (up here they near ran off Eli Lilly, which would have been catastrophic)
	9:35pm DJ Babs: I hope you’re all enjoying your fall adjacent tunes lol
	9:35pm Tyler: ↳ ultradamno @9:34 Yeah, I remember seeing reports of similar strategies happening in Chicago.
	9:36pm DJ Babs: At least if we’ve got tunes…we have fewer worries (for a brief spell)
	9:39pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @9:32 Will see what i can do:)
	9:39pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @9:35 'Fall Adjacent' would be a terrific name for a tribute.
	9:39pm DJ Babs: I'm now at that crucial point..do I keep drinking or not? LOL
	9:40pm Robm: ↳ Tyler @9:32 Oh yeah tyler WDW just might go to another state
	9:40pm DJ Babs: ↳ Tyler @9:39 That will be the band we form in our retirement years!
	9:41pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @9:39 Oh no... Don't tempt me to start a cover band that covers all the songs of various ex-Fall member's groups...
	9:41pm Derek Westerholm: Or is that members'
	9:41pm ultradamno: I don't know if you want to invite 'falling' into the vocabulary as a retiree, it sets off alarm bells at the home...
	9:43pm DJ Babs: IVE FALLEN AND I CAN’T GET UP
	9:43pm northguineahills: ↳ Tyler @9:32 they've already cancelled some educational facilities/campuses they had planned.
	9:44pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @9:43 We'll get you a Clapper, Babs :)
	9:44pm northguineahills: ↳ Tyler @9:39 world vertigo count? (at least conceptually)
	9:44pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @9:39 DO IT!
	9:45pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @9:40 DO IT!
	9:45pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:41 DO IT!
	9:45pm DJ Babs: I WILL
	9:45pm ultradamno: There was a really good Minneapolis band called Vertigo, not exactly Fall adjacent...but not that far either
	9:47pm Tyler: ↳ northguineahills @9:43 This kind of stuff is happening everywhere. I think we've lost the war to the corporations :(
	9:48pm Tyler: Just like a SOUTHERN MARK SMITH! WHOAA! A-WHOAAA-O!
	9:48pm ultradamno: Who was it Smith canned right before a Japan tour (who had always wanted to go there)?
	9:49pm Bob Barth: Cool! Can I open with my band WHERE'S THE BEEF?
	9:49pm shellioh: yay china!
	9:49pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @9:43 Adjacent to THE FLOOR :)
	9:50pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Bob Barth @9:49 Of course you can!
	9:50pm ultradamno: Residents tribute band called Squatters (Occupants is a bit on the nose)
	9:50pm Bob Barth: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:50 YES! (fist pump)
	9:51pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @9:48 Oh my, I don't know that story! And I know so many! Maybe I've merely forgotten...
	9:51pm ultradamno: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:51 I'm pretty sure it's in The Fallen
	9:52pm Tyler: This song is very cool! Has a kind of Nick Cave strut!
	9:53pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @9:51 Ah, one of the ones I haven't read... It used to be easy to gobble up Fall-related books, but now it seems like the floodgates have opened! However, I've heard The Fallen is one of the best... I need to investigate...
	9:54pm ultradamno: Riley was dancing to Deep Purple in Australia? You can't fault a man for that! Space Truckin' is irresistable! faroutmagazine.co.uk...
	9:54pm northguineahills: ↳ Tyler @9:47 w/ Disney vs death$antis, i say, let them fight.... /feels dirty rooting for disney..
	9:55pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Asmar Ya Sokkar" by "Al Thoulathy al Mareh الثلاث... ah, the united arab republic (also included south yemen). that didn't last long...(i think until '63?)
	9:55pm Tyler: ↳ northguineahills @9:54 Disney is fair game for targeting, but not for what DeSantis is trying to accomplish.

Music behind DJ: Transmissions From Echo Beach	Intro / 100 Club	TFEB One Hundred and One (It Seems)	WFMU	2023	Something we put together (with the help of The Clash) for our 100/101th show. [Or whatever # this show actually is.]	*	0:00:00 (Pop-up)
Melenas	Bang "Bang" by "Melenas"	Bang Single	Trouble In Mind Records	2023	Pamplona, Spain-based band Melenas have returned with news of a new album called Ahora (“now”), which will be released on September 29 through Trouble In Mind. The first song to be shared from the collection is “Bang”, an affirmation of their self-worth and self-control. With gliding and sparkling organ churning over a motorik beat, “Bang” is immediately hypnotic, and when they start to layer in their voices it becomes downright infectious. The song is about finding power in saying “no”, of doing away with negative forces and capturing the moment for oneself. As Melenas cruise along their glistening wave of stripped-back psych, it’s easy to hear that they’re filled with self-confidence.	*	0:03:42 (Pop-up)
Good News	Kishki "Kishki" by "Good News"	Kishki Single	Bingo Records	2023	Good news, are a minimalist post punk trio from Sheffield . They have just released a fantastic new single ‘ Kishki’ sung in Russian. "he DIY aesthetic is kind of essential for us. We don’t take ourselves too seriously and also don’t have loads of time to worry too much about how polished our songs are which I think gives them a certain je nais se quoi. Lol. think it also lets us lean into the fact that I can’t actually play any instruments. I just have a big bag of things I make noises with..."	*	0:09:39 (Pop-up)
Model Citizens	Shift The Blame "Shift The Blame" by "Model Citizens"	Shift The Blame 7"	Spy Records	1979	New York new wave group that spun off some important bands when they split into The Dance and Polyrock, and a side project of The Dance backing 12 year old Chandra. John Cale produced the Model Citizens EP after he lost out on the chance to produce Television to Brian Eno. Model Citizens and its offshoots reflect an awareness of NY's minimalists - Cale played with La Monte Young's early Dream Syndicate, and Philip Glass went on to produce Polyrock.		0:11:09 (Pop-up)
The ID	The Rake "The Rake" by "The ID"	The Inner Sounds of the ID	RCA	1967	The Id released a ground-breaking concept psychedelic album in 1967… or was it one of the first of many prefab, made-in-Hollywood psych-exploit LPs? The Id was a garage band made up of turned on, hopped up California hippie types who were way ahead of their time, or were they well-seasoned, multi-talented studio and performing musicians? Paul Arnold conceived The Id, composed and scored every single note and told the band exactly what to play and how to play it. Or did the band write about half of the material? The Id came and went with a lot of questions about who they were, why they were and why they weren’t.		0:13:03 (Pop-up)
Chinese American Bear	Elephant "Elephant" by "Chinese American Bear"	Live At Hall of Justice	Rain Hat Records	2023	Their name speaks for itself. Chinese American Bear is a bubbly C-Pop duo (Bryce and Anne) creating Chinese / English tunes that bring together their cultural experiences and backgrounds. We developed a philosophy for this project which I touched on before, and we're still living by it. We feel like children when working on this project, and I think people can feel that. We like fart jokes, and we want to write songs about dumplings!		0:14:53 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: 101 Strings Orchestra	Astral Freakout	Space Rock Psychedelia	Countdown Media	2019	101 Strings Orchestra was a brand for a highly successful easy listening symphonic music organization, with a discography exceeding 150 albums and a creative lifetime of around 30 years beginning in 1957. 101 Strings had a trademark sound, focusing on melody with a laid-back ambiance most often featuring strings. Their LPs were individualized by the slogan "The Sound of Magnificence", a puffy cloud logo and sepia-toned photo of the orchestra. The 101 Strings orchestra included 124 string instruments, and was conducted by Wilhelm Stephan. The orchestra's famous official photograph was taken in the Musikhalle Hamburg.[		0:18:44 (Pop-up)

The 101'ers	Letsgetabitarockin' "Letsgetabitarockin'" by "The 101'ers"	Joe Strummer 001	Casbah Productions Limited	1976 / 2018	"The 101ers were a pub rock band from the 1970s playing mostly in a rockabilly style, notable as being the band that Joe Strummer left to join The Clash. Formed in London in May 1974, the 101ers made their performing debut on 7 September at the Telegraph pub in Brixton, under the name 'El Huaso and the 101 All Stars'. The name would later be shortened to the '101 All Stars' and finally just the '101ers'. The group played at free festivals such as Stonehenge, and established themselves on the London pub rock circuit prior to the advent of punk. //// The group was named after the squat where they lived together: 101 Walterton Road, Maida Vale, although it was for a time rumoured that they were named for "Room 101", the infamous torture room in George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. //// The band's early gigs included several at the Windsor Castle and a residency at the Elgin. They were supported by the Sex Pistols at the Nashville Room on 3 April 1976. Strummer claims that this is when he saw the light and got involved in the punk scene. Joe Strummer commented on this event in the Don Letts documentary Westway to the World on the end of the 101ers by saying "5 seconds into their (the Pistols') first song, I knew we were like yesterday's paper, we were over." //// By the time their debut single, "Keys to Your Heart", was released, Joe Strummer had joined The Clash and the 101ers were no more. Clive Timperley later joined The Passions, Dan Kelleher went to Martian Schoolgirls and The Derelicts. Richard Dudanski went on to work with The Raincoats, Basement 5 and Public Image Ltd. Tymon Dogg worked with Strummer briefly in The Clash, playing fiddle and singing his original song, "Lose This Skin", on Sandinista!, and later in The Mescaleros."		0:26:35 (Pop-up)
Wire	99.9 "99.9" by "Wire"	Read & Burn 02	Pink Flag	2002	"On their post-millennial return to the studio, Wire rediscovered no-nonsense noisemaking, trashing the art component of their pioneering art punk identity and throwing themselves headlong into a fast, loud, and bilious new philistinism. The band's first salvo, Read & Burn 01, was a stomping, short, sharp shocker, the aural equivalent of getting jumped in a dark alley by a bunch of irate, amphetamine-addled pensioners (well, Bruce Gilbert was nearing 60 when the CD appeared). A few months later, with listeners still cowering in the corner groping about for their glasses and checking for broken bones, the thuggish quartet came back to put the boot in again. Grounded in the three Rs (repetition, repetition, and repetition), Read & Burn 02 shares its predecessor's hit-and-run aesthetic: it's a post-industrial punk rock barrage of buzzing, stinging guitars; chunky basslines; and clockwork beats littered with terse, strangled vocals that fall somewhere between bolshy, pre-brawl aggression and football-terrace chants. The sound of Wire 2002 rarely lets you catch your breath. From the title track's deconstructed glam rock rhythms to the metallic rush of "Nice Streets Above" to the hectoring speedcore of "Raft Ants," these numbers seem fueled by a "last-one-to-the-end-of-the-song's-a-sissy" competition among the bandmembers. But while the overriding feel is one of menace and urgency, there are some less-fraught moments. It's a good cop/bad cop routine: Amid the general sonic onslaught, part of "Trash/Treasure" sees Colin Newman trading his heckling delivery for almost soothing vocals and Wire playing pop in a way that recalls their better '80s material. Still, Gilbert, Grey, Graham Lewis, and Newman have never had much time for nostalgia, and the new level of assaultive energy here emphasizes that the band is still reinventing itself. Read & Burn 02 is the sound of Wire not so much looking back as looking forward in anger."		0:28:42 (Pop-up)
Pere Ubu	Cloud 149 "Cloud 149" by "Pere Ubu"	Datapanik in the Year Zero: 1975-1977 (Disc 1)	Hearthan / DGC	1976 / 1996	Originally the B-side of the 1976 "Final Solution" single, this song has been re-released on various compilations & reissues since. This version is taken from the 1996 Box Set "Datapanik in the Year Zero" "which catalogues their initial phase of existence up to their 1982 break-up (which later turned out to be merely a hiatus). The title was first used by the band for a 1978 EP which compiled their first singles; the name was "recycled" for this release. The name references the Cold War film Panic in Year Zero! (1962). / This box set compiles the original EP of the same name, their first five albums (which were out of print at the time this set was released), along with a disc of live material, and another of related rarities. It omits "Use of a Dog" from Song of the Bailing Man, "Humor Me", "Not Happy" and "Lonesome Cowboy Dave" from Terminal Tower and the vocal version of "Arabia" from The Art of Walking. Since, according to David Thomas, Pere Ubu do not produce outtakes or alternate versions (aside from a few anomalies related to an early version of The Art of Walking), the rarities disc is unique in that it features groups that were sometimes only tangentially related to Ubu, in an effort to present an overview of the mercurial Cleveland scene out of which they grew. In 2009, Cooking Vinyl released a remastered version of the box set. It restores "Use of a Dog" but omits the fourth disc of live recordings.""		0:36:26 (Pop-up)
Primal Scream	96 Tears "96 Tears" by "Primal Scream"	Kowalski (Single)	Creation / Reprise	1997	My favourite cover of this classic song. It sounds like Suicide redlining Bubblegum Soul." Still my favourite period of Primal Scream & likely to always be. Engineer [Engineered By] – Max Hayes / Producer [Produced By], Mixed By – Brendan Lynch, Primal Scream / Recorded By – Primal Scream / Written-By – Rudy Martinez"		0:39:16 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: 99 Luftballons	Nidbärgschrinzer Mels	Sound	Tyrolis	2004	"Über die bereits mehr als 30 Jahre haben die Nidbärgschrinzer viel erlebt und viele Guggner kommen und gehen. In der aktuellen Fasnachtssaison dürfen die Nidbärgschrinzer rund 50 Schrinzer in ihren Reihen zählen, die zum unvergleichlichen und weit über Mels hinaus bekannten Guggensound beitragen. Unter der Leitung von Major Mario Ackermann und Präsident Lukas Ackermann zelebriert diese seit jeher eingeschworene Truppe alle Facetten der Fasnacht – auf wie neben der Bühne. Auch nach über 30 bewegten Jahren hat sich ihr Wahlspruch nicht geändert: Freud Ha!"		0:42:15 (Pop-up)
Debt Rag	Say Ah! "Say Ah!" by "Debt Rag"	Lost To The Fantasy	Post Present Medium	2023	A statement that appears to be anti-artspeak, anti-nostalgia and anti-aesthetic in general, their music isn't supposed to be pleasant. It's art that's visceral because that's precisely the point: Debt Rag want you to feel uncomfortable and question what it is they're doing, because to switch off completely is to let the idiots (or the algorithm) truly win. Their music isn't throwback either, it's punk that doesn't purposefully look towards the Discord canon or Bikini Kill for its stylistic pointers. Rather the trio attempt to bend familiarity into awkward, unsettling shapes, using cheap toys and playing purposefully off-piste to sound more like Captain Beefheart jamming with Dirty Projectors.		0:50:27 (Pop-up)
Isotope Soap	Clarity "Clarity" by "Isotope Soap"	In Need of Systemic Entropy	Push My Buttons	2022	The glorious synth freaks from Stockholm are back, and ISOTOPE SOAP has outdone themselves here. SPITS, TG, SCREAMERS, DEPARTMENT S vibes all collide with a heavy emphasis on bizarre structures and a timeless sound that refuses to fit in any decade past or present. If anything, In Need of Systematic Energy is slightly more accessible than some of their previous efforts (with a title track that belongs on every mixtape you make this year), but you still never know what to expect from one track to the next. Worth noting that RAPED TEENAGERS and PUSRAD personnel are behind this genius…which is not even remotely surprising.		0:52:21 (Pop-up)
Kerosene Kream	Where Is My Dog? "Where Is My Dog?" by "Kerosene Kream"	Look Mom	Kerosene Kream	2020	The band hails from Stockholm. They describe themselves as "Artificial rock from the hands of the Automated Worker." They’ve got a quirky vibe, not in an arty or weirdo way but fun, like if GORILLA ANGREB was really the B-52’S. All four songs are upbeat and have strong pop hooks, elevated by multiple charismatic vocalists and a layer of electronics that liven up the whole production. It’s okay and even healthy to have a little fun every once in a while, so if you’re brooding as much as I am these days look no further than KEROSENE KREAM if you need a little pick-me-up.		0:55:06 (Pop-up)
The Particles	Family Life "Family Life" by "The Particles"	The Trumpet Song (Comp)	Chapter Music	2023	The Particles name began in the mid to late 1970s and the original band, albeit a loose outfit was formed during the very earliest stages of the new Punk music that was sweeping Britain and Eastern USA at the time. News of this phenomenon spread quickly to Australia and within a few months there were bands forming in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. The rawest examples of this were coming out of a small block of flats in Berry Street, North Sydney. The building was a crumbling mess, inside and out, but it was Sydney's centre of punk music with bands rehearsing regularly. Some of the bands which visited Berry Street include The Cleaners, The Last Words, and from Brisbane, The Saints. In one of the flats there were The Particles, initially formed by Peter Williams and Mick Smith. The building, not surprisingly was condemned and the tenants evicted. The Berry Street flats have since been pulled down and replaced by a shopping mall.		0:58:25 (Pop-up)
Kalle Hygien	Snake In My Garden "Snake In My Garden" by "Kalle Hygien"	The Raft	Self Released	2023	KALLE HYGIEN appears to be the solo project of Kalle Jansson, whom you may know from the Swedish garage rock act the MANIKINS. This is the first LP from the project after a handful of EPs of aggro drum machine punk...and a bit of a departure!		1:00:44 (Pop-up)

Brix Smith	Livin Thru My Despair "Livin Thru My Despair" by "Brix Smith"	Valley of the Dolls	Grit Over Glamour	2023	Released March 2023 & produced by Youth; Brix returns with an all-female lineup & an opening song that is directly aimed at the memory of living in Mark E. Smith's world as his first wife... Writes the Telegraph: "For many men of a certain age, Brix Smith Start will always be Mrs Mark E Smith, the effusive bottle-blonde guitarist who left California for Prestwich to wed The Fall’s lunatic singer, and to steer his band in a winningly alt-pop direction through the mid-’80s. //// As was cautionarily detailed in Brix’s 2016 autobiography, The Rise, The Fall, And The Rise, the rest of her life has often been about recovering from the trauma of those years, including entirely switching profession as a boutique owner, and then recording three albums with other ex-Fall members under the name Brix & The Extricated, in the hope of achieving closure. //// The therapy, however, is still ongoing on this solo debut, as opener Living Thru My Despair finds Smith Start revisiting “Manchester, my old hometown,” and painful memories of her first marriage (“empty speed wraps on the sink, the amber liquid that you drink – it can’t’ve been every gal’s dream come true”). //// Yet, as its title implies, Valley of the Dolls is a summation of her entire life trajectory thus far, since childhood in suburban Los Angeles. California Smile accentuates the positive in making a life in the UK instead of amid the Sunshine State’s empty plasticity, while other tracks (Valley Girl, Aphrodite, etc) reveal a furious feminist awakening. //// These urgent personal issues are robustly supported by Brix’s fearsome all-female band (two members are borrowed from ’90s noiseniks My Bloody Valentine, a further two from severe-sounding arrivistes Deux Furieuses)..."	*	1:17:31 (Pop-up)
Marc Riley with the Creepers	Jumper Clown (Live)	Warts 'N' All - Live in Amsterdam	In Tape	1985	Perhaps one of the earliest songs from an ex-Fall member written overtly about Mark E. Smith; not long after that member and Mark E. Smith, uh, "parted ways". Not only was Mark E. Smith known to wear sweaters, but the vocal segment "Dare to dance on an Aussie floor, bloody nose bloody bore" was a direct reference to an incident on tour where Mark E Smith & Marc Riley got into a physical altercation. M.E.S. had been peppering Fall songs w/ anti-Riley sentiments since the split, and wrote a song entitled "Hey! Marc Riley" (studio version "Hey! Ma Riley". Says one Fall online theorist of that song: "likely to be about that infamous incident in Australia where the band were all getting slaps in the face courtesy of MES for dancing at a nightclub after having performed a sloppy gig due to jetlag/lack of sleep. Come Riley's turn, he socks Mark in the face instead, resulting in a black eye that required much makeup to cover when the pair appeared on the "Sounds" program the next day. It was also Kay Carrol's idea that Marc should accompany him (the studio had told them MES and one more member were to appear but didn't specify who) to patch things up, seeing as they still had a tour to finish. The punch is also referred to in Riley's "Jumper Clown" with the lines "Dare to dance on an Aussie Floor / Bloody nose, bloody bore."" / Though, the take in the Guardian years later was that "Smith slapped the other members of the band for having the temerity to dance to the Clash’s Rock the Casbah." One last point of interest to Fall fanatics, the keyboard line is almost the same (transposed to a different key) as the one Marc Riley played on the early live versions of "The Man Whose Head Expanded". The Fall would release it as a single the following year without him or his keyboard part. He wryly reinstates it here.		1:21:52 (Pop-up)
HOUSE Of ALL	Turning Of The Years	HOUSE Of ALL	Tiny Global Productions	2023	Released April 22, 2023. Many of the songs on this album feature lyrical references to Mark E. Smith, and this one is seemingly no exception. According to the Quietus: "Turning of the Years, the last track is the one that Fall fanatics will have a whale of a time analysing. The conclusion they will probably jump to is that it is about the complicated friendship between Martin Bramah and Mark E Smith. --- ‘Lost in a childish game / I never gave up on you / with the turning of the years. This is not the man I thought I knew. Drink with us he says. Gentlemen indeed.' --- Bramah said only that the song is about nostalgia and regret. But there are clues which point to it being at least partly about the frenemity between the two." ... As for the band... "House of All features founding Fall guitarist Martin Bramah (guitar and vocals), bassist Stephen Hanley (whose 20 years in the Fall between 1978 and 1998 make him that band’s longest-serving member after Smith), and his drummer brother Paul. Simon Wolstencroft, from the band’s 80s/90s incarnation, completes a two-drummer lineup, along with guitarist Pete Greenway, who spent a decade in the Fall." [The last decade of the band's existence.] //// "The unimaginable Fall-without-MES has two precedents: Brix & The Extricated and the ghost-ship that was Imperial Wax. Both were good, but this, House of All really is, to use Peels favourite descriptive, a mighty band. //// Followers of Blue Orchids know what an endlessly fascinating lyricist Bramah is, but his vocals are the most confident & serious he has ever sounded somehow, relying on the flow of the words and a bit of reverb rather than holding-notes or melody... If you were expecting his astringent Witch-Trials guitar sound you get the complete opposite: throughout the album he uses an ‘Electro-Harmonix, C9 Organ Machine’, effects pedal. It basically turns the guitar into an organ!"" //// The upcoming June 2023 issue of "The Wire" magazine will have a fair chunk of it devoted to Mark E Smith, The Fall & Fall related things, including an interview with HOUSE Of ALL: "House Of All: Tessa Norton talks to the new band formed by ex-Fall members about life after Mark E Smith." The Wire Issue 472 Lastly, "HOUSE Of ALL have finished their (fantastic) second album, which is replete with Pete’s unique brilliance." HOUSE Of ALL (Bandcamp)	*	1:25:44 (Pop-up)
The Fall	Jetplane "Jetplane" by "The Fall"	Re-Mit	Cherry Red Records	2013	From the Annotated Fall: "Recently leaked demos and/or outtakes include a track entitled "Suddenly, Certainly." Musically this is quite different from "Jetplane," but the vocal portion consists of the above refrain, with the same melody. It seems to be the kernel of a song idea which was subsumed by "Jetplane.""		1:29:17 (Pop-up)
The Fall	Suddenly, Certainly "Suddenly, Certainly" by "The Fall"	O-Mit	Cherry Red Records	2023	An unreleased outtake from Re-Mit, though the refrain would be dropped into the song "Jetplane", one of my many favourite later-Fall songs. RE: O-MIt -- "Tracks here are previously unheard out-takes from sessions that spawned 2013’s Re-Mit album."	*	1:32:24 (Pop-up)
Brix & The Extricated	Heavy Crown	Breaking State	Grit Over Glamour	2018	"That the Extricated recorded a well-received debut album, let alone a second record is, when you think about it, pretty remarkable. The odds were stacked against them. The band formed by previous Fall members Brix, Steve and Paul Hanley and Steve Trafford (plus guitarist Jason Brown, who was never in The Fall) has occasionally been dismissed as a “tribute band” (“how can we be a tribute to ourselves?” says Brix, indignant) or a nostalgia act (“I don't think so!”). It’s a ghost they put to rest quickly by outgrowing their initial selling-point of playing the great songs Mark E Smith... While musically Breaking States plays happily with dischord and attitude, not least in the unmistakable sound of Steve Hanley's bass playing, it’s also an extremely tender and often uncomfortably honest experience, not surprising given the death of Mark E Smith... something which can't help but impact an album featuring both his ex-wife and the bass player who stood by him on stage for nearly 20 years. “The shock of him leaving the planet left a big, empty hole for me” says Brix of the man that brought her to Britain after meeting her on tour in the US as a 21-year-old in 1983, “I struggled. For three months I don't think I went out.” Only one song on the record is explicitly about Smith, the penultimate 'Heavy Crown', but his presence, and the need to move on from it, and from tragedy in general hangs over the whole album..." //// Here's that song.		1:36:18 (Pop-up)

Backspace	Three Mothers "Three Mothers" by "Backspace"	Face of The Night	Maybe Mars	2022	Beijing's Backspace cultivates the beauty within the chaos and embedded with an all-embracing empathy of the actions of both the humans and creatures that roam our planet – the unassuming six-eyed dragonfly, the patient desert lizard, the droning ants, the frenzied rabbit – the band strikes a chord that’s playful, invigorating, and filled with both wonder, urgency, and sly dissonance. A cacophony of sounds bombards the senses and needle their way into our brain tissue as tropical birds call across the trees, dogs furiously bark in the background, synths buoyantly led us from one verse to another, and the swirl of guitars and drums throw listeners into a trance. It’s the equivalent of dancing around a bonfire in the embrace of a humid, moon-lit jungle, high on the shared communal experience of music.		1:47:45 (Pop-up)
Al Thoulathy al Mareh الثلاثي المرح	Asmar Ya Sokkar	Zamaan Ya Sukkar - Exotic Love Songs And Instrumentals From The Egyptian 60’s	Souma Records	2018	An Egyptian singing trio that appeared at the end of the fifties coinciding with the union between Egypt and Syria on February 22, 1958. The band initially included Sana Al Baroni and Safaa Lutfi, and then Wafaa Mustafa joined them. Musician Ali Ismail called them El Tholathi El Mareh (The Merry Trio). The three of them graduated from the Institute of Arab Music and were distinguished by their social work, such as their songs for social and political occasions, weddings, and birthdays.		1:51:26 (Pop-up)

	🏝 8:08pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:06 Yep Dmate. Didn't mean to sound insistent. Just Joe's strident vocals made it a bit hard to focus on you & Babs. For my old ears anyway.
	🏝 8:08pm Kristine: and CONGRATULATIONS to making it to one hundred! what is the secret of your success?
	8:08pm Derek Westerholm: Thanks Scott, Ultra, Kristine for the quality check!
	8:09pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @8:08 Dumb luck & good artists making good music!
	8:09pm DJ Babs: hahah! Not expecting success is the secret to our non success...
	8:09pm DJ Babs: we got the bubbly open!
	8:10pm Robm: Hi babs
	8:10pm Robm: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:07 Hey Derek
	8:10pm Alli B: Hellooooo!
	8:11pm laurapanic: CENTENERARYARY! HI TEAM I have a coffee and peaceful environment sorted. No one can talk to me for 2hrs
	8:11pm Derek Westerholm: Hello Alli B!
	8:11pm DJ Babs: Hello hello Ali and Rob and Laura!
	8:11pm Robm: ↳ Scott_Oz @8:08 Scott did not notice any distortion
	8:12pm Robm: ↳ laurapanic @8:11 Hi laura
	8:12pm DJ Babs: How are y'all doin tonight? It's a very hot night here in Toronto! SUMMER HAS ARRIVED
	8:12pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ laurapanic @8:11 Laura, you're the best to clear out the calendar specifically for this. Truly honoured!
	8:12pm DJ Babs: ↳ laurapanic @8:11 Love it Laura!!!
	8:13pm Robm: ↳ DJ Babs @8:12 What is the temp there?
	🏝 8:14pm Kristine: oooh this is fantastic!!
	8:14pm DJ Babs: It's like 30 feelin like 32!
	🏝 8:14pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Robm @8:11 Not distortion mate, distraction to my hearing DJ voices.
	8:14pm DJ Babs: ↳ Kristine @8:14 YES RIGHT?! I didn't know that members of this band eventually became the Dance....
	8:14pm Derek Westerholm: Around 30-ish, with a "real feel" of mid-30's... Degrees Celsius. AKA 90+ Farheneit.
	🏝 8:15pm Scott_Oz: ↳ laurapanic @8:11 Can we talk to you mate? 🍻😎🤙💨☕🌻
	8:15pm DJ Babs: I need to get my arse into an ocean or pool VERY soon
	8:15pm Robm: ↳ Scott_Oz @8:14 Understand noe
	8:16pm Juli: !!!!
	🏝 8:16pm Kristine: this is also really good!
	8:16pm Robm: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:14 Damn thats hot for you guys
	8:16pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Scott_Oz @8:14 It's on us to be able to monitor our voice/under the voice ratio, but unfortunately our mixers are all jerry-rigged and janky & not made for proper radio live broadcasting... My ambition is to remedy that, but it's been a lazy ambition to this point... Maybe by show 202...
	8:17pm Robm: Hey juli
	8:17pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Robm @8:16 We get that & more pretty consistently through the summer, sometimes for many days on end w/ crazy humidity.
	8:17pm DJ Babs: LOL. Our setup is great for DJing...but less than optimal for actual radio...and helloooooo Juli!!!! Welcome welcome!
	🏝 8:17pm Kristine: this sounds like a cover of death from above 1979..
	8:17pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Juli @8:16 Hello Juli! Welcome!
	8:17pm Robm: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:17 Ouch that bites
	8:18pm Juli: ↳ Robm @8:17 Hiiiiii::::} How is the world for you today?
	8:18pm DJ Babs: ↳ Kristine @8:17 It's actually a Tame Impala cover!!!
	8:18pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "Elephant" by "Chinese American Bear" is this a King Lizzard cover?
	🏝 8:18pm Kristine: ah thats it!
	8:18pm laurapanic: ↳ DJ Babs @8:18 aaaaaah yeh that's it!!
	8:18pm Robm: ↳ Juli @8:18 Oh pretty good had a nice quiet dsy with no assholes
	8:19pm Robm: ↳ Robm @8:18 Thanks for asking
	8:19pm DJ Babs: One of my favourite Tame Impala tunes. This band is cool! They sing everything in Chinese...they are very much about the mixed race experience first hand...they are super cute and write very fun songs of their own!
	8:20pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Robm @8:17 I'm okay with the heat in that range and preferably just below... It's the oppressively hot & humid days stacked in a row that I'm not a fan of. But we're lucky enough all in all... Some of the heat around the world has gotten to be pretty tragic... We're still ok, just sticky and quite hot at times.
	8:20pm Juli: ↳ Robm @8:19 Sure thing! :: Hooray Hoorah Let's have fun nights & days & such
	8:21pm Juli: Etc & Such & Success Success Success In all we wish :::}}
	8:24pm Robm: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:20 Like when you don’t have air @Juli I agree
	8:30pm DJ Babs: I think air is pretty goddamn important!
	8:31pm Robm: ↳ DJ Babs @8:30 When i used to live in south Florida oh hell yeah
	8:31pm DJ Babs: Ya can't live without it!
	8:32pm Derek Westerholm: Something makes me so childishly happy to play a song called "Letsgetabitarockin'" and follow it up w/ this. Haha.
	8:32pm DJ Babs: I read this crazy clickbait article on FB that says that if the world had no oxygen for 5 seconds most of us would be ok...but if it suddenly disappeared for that duration the crust of the earth would collapse because it's made of 40% oxygen molecules...
	8:33pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ DJ Babs @8:32 What would happen if it was for 3 seconds?
	8:33pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ DJ Babs @8:32 What kind of bait was clicked?
	8:34pm Derek Westerholm: So many questions...
	8:34pm DJ Babs: I’m not sure. The article specified 5 seconds only
	8:35pm DJ Babs: I will say I was at the Wire show and it was pretty face melting
	8:35pm DJ Babs: This was a good tour.
	8:36pm Krys O.: Hello and Congratulations!
	🏝 8:36pm Kristine: i had to look to see what band this is, was surprised its wire. not familiar with this era at all! wish i had seen them live...
	8:36pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ DJ Babs @8:34 Right, I was kind of being silly and playful... Or annoying...
	8:36pm Juli: Only you what I wonder lol
	8:36pm Robm: ↳ DJ Babs @8:31 Yeah i know and was watching something on youtube about just what would happen if air was as lost for five seconds very interesting
	8:36pm DJ Babs: ↳ Krys O. @8:36 Hello hello Krys! Welcome welcome!
	8:36pm Juli: As if we the ppl are to blame for the authority's mistakes No no
	8:37pm DJ Babs: ↳ Robm @8:36 Ok so I’m not crazy!?
	8:37pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @8:36 They were great at this time. Had the good fortune to open for them & get this CD signed by one of them. Lucky days!
	8:37pm Robm: ↳ Juli @8:36 What are you talking about @Babs no you are not
	8:37pm DJ Babs: ↳ Kristine @8:36 This era of Wire was excellent! I think Derek’s band opened this show at Lee’s Palace!
	🏝 8:38pm Kristine: ah, this must have been in the aughts...right?
	8:39pm Tyler: YAY! Pere UBU!
	8:39pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @8:38 Yup, 2002 or 2003, I think.
	8:39pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @8:37 Damn! I missed WIRE!
	8:39pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @8:39 I, know, right? Their newest album is sounding fantastic, too!
	8:39pm Derek Westerholm: + Hello Tyler!
	8:39pm Juli: ↳ Robm @8:37 Oh sorry I digress
	8:39pm DJ Babs: ↳ Kristine @8:38 Yes the dawn of the new millennium! It’s so funny I always think oh yeah 2005 wasn’t that long ago and then I’m like OOOF lol
	🏝 8:39pm Kristine: yeah, dont know why i missed that.
	8:40pm Robm: ↳ Juli @8:39 Don’t worry about it
	8:40pm Tyler: Good Evening - BTW!
	8:40pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:39 Hi Derek!
	🏝 8:40pm Kristine: ↳ DJ Babs @8:39 it was an exciting time, those years!
	8:41pm Tyler: @Babs & Derek - Happy Hundredth!
	8:41pm DJ Babs: I saw a super cute couple strollin down our street today and he was wearing a Pere Ubu shirt and she had a Television shirt and I was like…👍
	8:41pm DJ Babs: ↳ Kristine @8:40 It was…it seemed like anything was possible! A far more innocent time to be sure!
	8:41pm DJ Babs: Heloooooooo Tyler!
	🏝 8:42pm Kristine: I heard Faust and Pere Ubu are playing a show in new york in a few weeks which gives me serious FOMO. I mean, wouldnt that be an amazing gig to go to?
	8:42pm DJ Babs: However I do still enjoy living in the now as fucked as it all is!
	8:43pm DJ Babs: ↳ Kristine @8:42 Ohhh woooooow….
	8:43pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:37 I've been online friends with Colin Newman since the myspace days. Go the band to sign my copy of Silver/Lead & saw a very intimate Githead recording session in a silo at an Apple orchard in Brampton. Had a beer & a Hot Dog with Colin & Malka. Githead are also excellent - BTW
	8:43pm Robm: ↳ DJ Babs @8:42 And we are fucked
	8:43pm Derek Westerholm: I played a few seconds of track 4 from this single, just special for you all, totally intentionally, before queuing back properly to track 3. (This one.) Really, honest... I meant to do that... Sigh.
	8:43pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @8:41 Hiya BABS!
	8:43pm DJ Babs: ↳ Robm @8:43 We suuuuuuure are!!!
	8:44pm DJ Babs: Omg Derek! Lol
	8:44pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:37 I was probably at that show & saw you play, though I didn't know you then...
	8:44pm DJ Babs: This is bringing me joy.
	8:44pm Tyler: 99 Luftrombones! :)
	8:44pm Robm: ↳ DJ Babs @8:43 Really gets to the point where i don’t want to watch the news
	8:44pm DJ Babs: ↳ Tyler @8:44 😂😂😂
	🏝 8:45pm Kristine: hahah this is funny. thanks for the german liner notes. they are talking about carnival music!!
	8:45pm DJ Babs: ↳ Robm @8:44 At least we have 99 Lufttrombones
	8:45pm DJ Babs: ↳ Kristine @8:45 I need to hear this entire record
	8:46pm Juli: <3 Sigh.
	🏝 8:46pm Kristine: LOL Derek!
	8:47pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "96 Tears" by "Primal Scream" Didn't Suicide cover Put A Little Love In Your Heart? (granted it was less a cover than a Suicide song with those words) The original 96 Tears is superior.
	8:47pm ultradamno: Oh, I thought that was what you just talking down, never mind
	8:48pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:47 I agree the OG is a classic but I like Primal Scream’s take on everything!
	8:49pm Tyler: ↳ Kristine @8:42 See Pere Ubu if you can! I saw them at Lee's Palace. It was incredible! Dave Thomas was wearing this weird electronic butcher's apron that make all of these crazy electronic noises when he touched it in different places. Also saw the Rocket From The Tombs reunion show which was also amazing but very different and closer to their Stooges roots.
	8:50pm ultradamno: 99 Luftballoons, like that Major Tom song, almost defies liking or not, just for being THE go to examples of nuclear paranoia 80s pop
	8:50pm Tyler: ↳ ultradamno @8:47 The reissue of A Way Of Life has Suicide covering Bruce Springsteen's Born In The USA. I'm dying to get it!
	8:51pm Feldy: Hiya guys!
	8:51pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @8:50 The Peter Schilling Major Tom song, I'm talking about...
	8:51pm DJ Nico: Happy 100!
	🏝 8:52pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Feldy @8:51 G'day Feldy!🍻😎🤙💨🍺🛵
	8:52pm DJ Babs: Hello Hello Nico!
	8:52pm Robm: Hi feldy
	8:53pm Juli: Lol this song is funnnnn.
	8:53pm DJ Babs: Hi Feldy! Welcome!
	8:53pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ DJ Nico @8:51 Thanks Nico! And 101! We folded a couple of numbers into one show, haha.
	8:53pm DJ Babs: I agree! I love the shambolic nonsense and crazy trumpet!
	8:53pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Feldy @8:51 Feldy, hello! Hope all is excellent in your world!
	8:53pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Say Ah!" by "Debt Rag" Damn, this sounds like Preening covering Pink Section. I must investigate
	8:55pm DJ Babs: Derek has complained it's too Devo reverent which is WHY I LOVE IT
	8:55pm ultradamno: I understand my copy of the new Protomartyr will be here tomorrow...looking forward to it.
	8:56pm Tyler: Definitely hear the DEVO. Reminds me of a great local band called Strange Attractor that I caught by chance at the Bovine.
	8:56pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @8:50 Good point re: 99LB & MT
	8:56pm DJ Babs: Ohhh that’s amazing! Yes the marathon gifts are out in the mail! I’m looking forward to my new swag arriving!!!
	8:57pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:55 Oh wait protomartyr that was not one of our marathon prizes! So you just ordered it?
	8:57pm ultradamno: ↳ Tyler @8:50 www.rollingstone.com...
	8:58pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @8:50 I've never been much of a Springsteenite, but I do love how he paid homage to Suicide on Nebraska. That was pretty unexpected. I know he has a wider range than I give him credit for as a casual observer.
	8:58pm DJ Babs: I’m excited to be getting my copy of THE TWANG MACHINE in the mail soon!
	8:59pm ultradamno: ↳ DJ Babs @8:57 Yeah, pre-ordered through Bandcamp protomartyr.bandcamp.com...
	8:59pm DJ Babs: And I received a wonderful gift from the super amazing Alli last week! She gifted me a 45 of a cover of knights in white satin by Patricia…I have been lusting after that record for YEARS!
	🏝 8:59pm Kristine: who else is going to see protomartyr on June 13?
	9:00pm DJ Babs: I’m not….but I am going to see the cure!!! That’s on the 14th!
	9:00pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:58 I respect Springsteen, but not really a fan. Just interested in what Suicide will do with the material.
	9:00pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @8:56 Strange Attractor are from Sudbury! Or were. I played with them in a... venue... that was a family garage run by the opening band's parents. It made me that much more fond of Sudbury, which I do have an honest fondness for.
	🏝 9:00pm Kristine: ↳ Tyler @8:49 i was there too but go there too late, i missed their set, I was so mad!
	9:01pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @9:00 I'd love to hear that, too, Tyler!
	9:01pm Androu B.: Good Evening DJ Babs & Derek! Congrats on the prestigious milestone! Here's to 100 more shows!🍷 It can only get better from here! Oh, and I heard Martin Rev is in town! So wondered if you were planning on playing some Rev tunes tonight just for the occasion.
	9:02pm Tyler: ↳ Kristine @9:00 OH, that's a drag, Kristine :(
	9:02pm ultradamno: ↳ Tyler @9:00 I was close friends with a guy in high school who loved Springsteen so much it put me off him forever. I liked Darkness On The Edge... for a minute though...
	9:02pm Juli: Oh never succumb to family life lol
	9:02pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @9:00 If I recall properly, Highway Patrolman was the song which was his homage to Suicide on the Nebraska album. Worth a listen.
	9:03pm Juli: IN my hearts Not in my mind negatively My folks are nice now lol
	9:03pm Tyler: ↳ Androu B. @9:01 Martin Rev show is tonight at the Garrison. I wanted to see it, but have too much going on this week & it was a little pricey. I've seen him solo before & with Suicide.
	9:03pm Juli: Yay!~ Way into Mindfulness & Yoga
	9:03pm ultradamno: ↳ Juli @9:02 Helpful graph on the subject twitter.com...
	9:04pm Juli: ↳ ultradamno @9:03 Truth.
	9:04pm DJ Babs: ↳ Juli @9:02 agreed 100% Juli!!!
	9:04pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:02 I think Springsteen did a cover of Frankie Teardrop, but not sure if it was released.
	9:05pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Androu B. @9:01 Ha, Androu, I just played a song by Primal Scream that reminds me of Suicide... If we are running short tonight, we can try to worm something in, but not sure where the timing will go tonight. Now that Bob Barth is following us (please stick around and listen!) we can't go past our allotted broadcast time any longer.
	9:05pm ultradamno: Odd interview with Martin Rev with actress/director Zoe Lister-Jones www.youtube.com...
	9:06pm Tyler: ↳ ultradamno @9:02 Some of Springsteen's stuff is alright. My brother & I borrowed from the library a documentary about 'We Are The World' In the bonus features there are clips of isolated vocal takes. Springsteen's constipation takes were HILARIOUS! :)
	9:08pm ultradamno: Scientists, No and Snapper are all good for the Suicide vibe at different points in their careers too.
	9:12pm Androu B.: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:05 Caught the Primal Scream tune & loved it! You bet I'll be sticking around 'til the end!
	9:12pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "Family Life" by "The Particles" one of the Particles is now in the Cannanes
	9:13pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:00 MEEPMOOP FOR MAYOR!
	9:13pm Alli B: I didn’t know that about the debate!
	9:13pm Bob Barth: Good evening gang!
	9:13pm ultradamno: I didn't mind it sounding like Devo, I just always expect to sound more like Geza X, with that name.
	9:14pm ultradamno: (I guess that's not a super wide gulf...but a gulf)
	9:15pm Tyler: DEVO is tearing Babs & Derek apart! :)
	9:15pm ultradamno: Well, if it makes you feel better, Chris Christie decided him running for president again is what we needed down here right now.
	9:16pm DJ Nico: Beach buddies 🏖️
	9:16pm Tyler: ↳ ultradamno @9:15 We see your Chris Christie with Brad Bradford - YOUR MOVE! :)
	9:16pm Robm: ↳ ultradamno @9:15 I thought christie was running?
	9:17pm shellioh: i made it! yay!!!!
	9:17pm Tyler: ↳ ultradamno @9:15 You know your candidate is out of ideas when they can't even come up with 2 different names :)
	9:17pm ultradamno: ↳ Robm @9:16 That was I was saying, yes.
	9:18pm DJ Babs: LOL Thank you for putting up with us freaks you guys!
	🏝 9:20pm Scott_Oz: ↳ DJ Babs @9:18 We are a Fraternity of Freaks mate! 🍻😎🤙💨🌻
	9:20pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "Livin Thru My Despair" by "Brix Smith" oooh this sounds interesting! I recently got into the Brix collab with Marty Wilson-Piper (ex-Church) and its great.
	9:20pm DJ Babs: Hi Androu! Hi Bob! And Hello hello Shelli!!!!!
	9:20pm shellioh: love this!
	9:21pm Robm: ↳ DJ Babs @9:18 We are all freaks in a way:) @Ultradamno the way you wrote it did not make sense
	9:21pm ultradamno: ↳ Tyler @9:17 I will say this is interesting, I always thought DeSantis was less Trump Light that Chris Christie in sucking up to Trump mode light...so it will be interesting to see if CC knocks Ron out as the original flavor, or if CC's sense of intellectual superiority (not necessarily earned, mind you) is a liability
	9:21pm northguineahills: echo beach, where i come for metadata (being a metadata geek)
	9:21pm ultradamno: ↳ Robm @9:21 It's called irony.
	9:21pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ shellioh @9:20 Shelli! Yay! So happy you are loving this one! Hello!
	9:22pm DJ Babs: ↳ laurapanic @9:20 Brix can be hit or miss but when she’s on she’s on! And yes Shelli…kinda Britpop no? Or Brixpop….
	9:22pm Tyler: ↳ ultradamno @9:21 Always encouraging when the candidates impersonate one another :)
	9:22pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ northguineahills @9:21 Haha... Thanks Northguineahills! We're low on links this week, but hopefully the show's a good one!
	9:22pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @9:21 Hey NGH
	9:22pm DJ Babs: Hello north Guinea!
	9:22pm northguineahills: ↳ DJ Babs @9:22 yoesers!
	9:23pm Tyler: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:20 ONE OF US!
	9:25pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Bob Barth @9:13 Hello Bob Barth! Ready to roll out "One Night Stand" at 10pm, right after us? Looking forward!
	9:25pm ultradamno: ↳ Tyler @9:22 We are deep in political tribute acts, that's for sure.
	9:26pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @9:15 lol... Devo, Devo will tear us apart... again.
	9:27pm DJ Babs: LOL. I agree my tolerance for political bullshit is at an all time low. Our main issue is affordable housing here in Toronto. It’s getting very brutal!
	9:28pm laurapanic: HERE WE ARE AT THE FALL SECTION OF THE SHOW AND I LOOK FORWARD TO IT. The stories are fascinating. Jumper Clown is perfect
	9:28pm Tyler: ↳ ultradamno @9:25 Ronald Reagan - The Broadway Musical :)
	9:28pm northguineahills: i prefer to keep my synapses in working order, and ignore the d-word. i'm reminded enough everyday thanks to his idiotic sycophants i see daily...
	9:29pm Robm: ↳ DJ Babs @9:27 Which is why i don’t watch cable news anymore, give me the BBC or the CBC, at least i will hear about other parts of the world besides the states
	9:30pm Tyler: ↳ Robm @9:29 Reuters & Aljezeera come in handy at times
	9:31pm ultradamno: ↳ Tyler @9:28 I think the right may have gotten far enough afield of what was far right then as to abandon even giving lip service to Bonzo anymore
	🏝 9:31pm Kristine: mighty band indeed!
	9:31pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @9:28 Unfortunately you are in enemy territory with Florida @Tyler have aljezeera as an app
	9:31pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ laurapanic @9:28 Awww, thanks Laura... You're a wonderful enabler of my Fall & Fall related broadcasting ways...
	9:31pm Tyler: FALL-CON!
	9:32pm northguineahills: ↳ Robm @9:31 plox send halp!
	9:32pm Tyler: ↳ Robm @9:31 Hilarious that Florida's Governor has declared war on Disney :)
	9:33pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @9:31 I truly love this Jetplane song
	9:34pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:33 You always help me to navigate the vast Fall landscape so I can plan my next trip.
	9:34pm Androu B.: ↳ DJ Babs @9:27 Those of us here in New Jersey can sympathize. Even a basic apartment can run up to at least $2400. In fact, this state was rated the most expensive to live in.
	9:34pm ultradamno: ↳ Tyler @9:32 He was kind of following an odd trend of Trumpies trying to run business out their states (up here they near ran off Eli Lilly, which would have been catastrophic)
	9:35pm DJ Babs: I hope you’re all enjoying your fall adjacent tunes lol
	9:35pm Tyler: ↳ ultradamno @9:34 Yeah, I remember seeing reports of similar strategies happening in Chicago.
	9:36pm DJ Babs: At least if we’ve got tunes…we have fewer worries (for a brief spell)
	9:39pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @9:32 Will see what i can do:)
	9:39pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @9:35 'Fall Adjacent' would be a terrific name for a tribute.
	9:39pm DJ Babs: I'm now at that crucial point..do I keep drinking or not? LOL
	9:40pm Robm: ↳ Tyler @9:32 Oh yeah tyler WDW just might go to another state
	9:40pm DJ Babs: ↳ Tyler @9:39 That will be the band we form in our retirement years!
	9:41pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @9:39 Oh no... Don't tempt me to start a cover band that covers all the songs of various ex-Fall member's groups...
	9:41pm Derek Westerholm: Or is that members'
	9:41pm ultradamno: I don't know if you want to invite 'falling' into the vocabulary as a retiree, it sets off alarm bells at the home...
	9:43pm DJ Babs: IVE FALLEN AND I CAN’T GET UP
	9:43pm northguineahills: ↳ Tyler @9:32 they've already cancelled some educational facilities/campuses they had planned.
	9:44pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @9:43 We'll get you a Clapper, Babs :)
	9:44pm northguineahills: ↳ Tyler @9:39 world vertigo count? (at least conceptually)
	9:44pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @9:39 DO IT!
	9:45pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @9:40 DO IT!
	9:45pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:41 DO IT!
	9:45pm DJ Babs: I WILL
	9:45pm ultradamno: There was a really good Minneapolis band called Vertigo, not exactly Fall adjacent...but not that far either
	9:47pm Tyler: ↳ northguineahills @9:43 This kind of stuff is happening everywhere. I think we've lost the war to the corporations :(
	9:48pm Tyler: Just like a SOUTHERN MARK SMITH! WHOAA! A-WHOAAA-O!
	9:48pm ultradamno: Who was it Smith canned right before a Japan tour (who had always wanted to go there)?
	9:49pm Bob Barth: Cool! Can I open with my band WHERE'S THE BEEF?
	9:49pm shellioh: yay china!
	9:49pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @9:43 Adjacent to THE FLOOR :)
	9:50pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Bob Barth @9:49 Of course you can!
	9:50pm ultradamno: Residents tribute band called Squatters (Occupants is a bit on the nose)
	9:50pm Bob Barth: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:50 YES! (fist pump)
	9:51pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @9:48 Oh my, I don't know that story! And I know so many! Maybe I've merely forgotten...
	9:51pm ultradamno: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:51 I'm pretty sure it's in The Fallen
	9:52pm Tyler: This song is very cool! Has a kind of Nick Cave strut!
	9:53pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @9:51 Ah, one of the ones I haven't read... It used to be easy to gobble up Fall-related books, but now it seems like the floodgates have opened! However, I've heard The Fallen is one of the best... I need to investigate...
	9:54pm ultradamno: Riley was dancing to Deep Purple in Australia? You can't fault a man for that! Space Truckin' is irresistable! faroutmagazine.co.uk...
	9:54pm northguineahills: ↳ Tyler @9:47 w/ Disney vs death$antis, i say, let them fight.... /feels dirty rooting for disney..
	9:55pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Asmar Ya Sokkar" by "Al Thoulathy al Mareh الثلاث... ah, the united arab republic (also included south yemen). that didn't last long...(i think until '63?)
	9:55pm Tyler: ↳ northguineahills @9:54 Disney is fair game for targeting, but not for what DeSantis is trying to accomplish.
	9:55pm DJ Babs: We are in the home stretch kids! Bob Barth is up next with One Night Stand...thank you ALL so much for supporting us and puttingt up with our nonsense every week. We love you all!
	9:55pm ultradamno: Yeah, but it's the specific thing DeSantis went at....
	9:56pm northguineahills: ↳ ultradamno @9:55 tru dat...
	9:56pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @9:54 Not sure if Mark E. Smith would get angry at him for that... The Fall actually covered Black Night by Deep Purple for a couple of minutes during that tour... Though... Now that I think of it... Maybe that's why, haha.
	9:56pm Bob Barth: HAPPY 100!!! YOU GUYS!
