	9:03pm ramencity: time cobras

	♥ 9:04pm Imaginos: You're forgiven
	🎸 ♥ 9:05pm Krys O.: Hello! Chiming in for a wee bit. Still not used to the time change. It's affecting my sleep patterns.
	♥ 9:05pm Barno in Akron: Lurking, as usual :)
	♥ 9:06pm Imaginos: Can you imagine if Vangelis did the music for Max Headroom?
	9:07pm Mr. X: ↳ Barno in Akron @9:05 How's Akron today? Big election day, I hear.

	9:10pm ramencity: Is this like Taco Tuesday, but with Tacos of Song?
	9:11pm Chuck: The Pidge mentioned this show this morning... thought I'd drop by and check it out hello Austin and all..!..cheerz!!!!...:)
	🎸 ♥ 9:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Chuck @9:11 Thanks for joining us, Chuck!
	🎸 ♥ 9:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:10 Our show has been called "The Taco Tuesday of Radio."
	9:14pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:13 It's about as messy as eating two tacos at once, too.
	🎸 ♥ 9:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:14 I think that's why most street tacos come with two shells? So you CAN eat two at once?
	♥ 9:16pm Imaginos: ↳ Song: "Spontaneous Apple Creation" by "The Crazy World O... Speaking of things that grow on trees, I can't Help thinking of Land of the Glass Pinecones and the Yum Yum Tree by Tom Dark.
	9:16pm Chuck: ↳ Mr. X @9:14 You mean 'also'...:)
	9:16pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "The Eggplant That Ate Chicago" by "Dr. West's Med... Norman Greenbaum of "Spirit in the Sky" fame does a cover of this song.
	9:17pm Mr Fab: Hey Austin, this food theme is making me hungry, i haven’t had dinner yet!
	♥ 9:17pm Imaginos: ↳ Song: "The Eggplant That Ate Chicago" by "Dr. West's Med... This reminds me of My Wife Left Home with a Banana
	9:17pm Mr. X: ↳ Chuck @9:16 All puns involving the concept of "two" are deliberate here.
	🎸 ♥ 9:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:17 Eat, eat! You'll thank yourself afterwards.
	9:19pm Mr. X: Disclaimer: I've been a vegetarian since 1979, but I like this song putting down vegetarians. It's important to be able to laugh at oneself.
	🎸 ♥ 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Beef Bologna" by "Fear" The Drummer for Fear lives north of The Mid-Valley these days, and drums in a new band - Nasalrod - that is pretty excellent.
	♥ 9:23pm Imaginos: Austin, I would like to get together with you and Heather for the second part of our recording.
	9:23pm Chuck: Nobody wants to know what's really in beef bologna!!!...:)
	9:24pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @9:22 Spit Stix?! That guy is a MONSTER.
	🎸 ♥ 9:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:23 I'm into that!
	🎸 ♥ 9:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:24 That's the gent! He's very nice, too!
	🎸 ♥ 9:25pm Austin Rich: Jonathan Coulton wrote and performed the theme song of the 2007-08 animated series Code Monkeys.
	9:25pm Mr Fab: “The Record” was probably my most played hardcore album back in my misspent youth.
	🎸 ♥ 9:25pm Krys O.: Good night, all!
	🎸 ♥ 9:25pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:25 Ahh!!! Coulton on MVM!! Yessss!!
	🎸 ♥ 9:25pm Austin Rich: Oh my! I forgot to post this early in show notes: Tonight’s show is a sequel to our January 18, 2022 production The Demento Dimension. When you get a chance, we hope you will check out or revisit that program at: wfmu.org...
	9:25pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "IKEA" by "Jonathan Coulton" I have only heard this song at karaoke
	♥ 9:26pm Imaginos: Go for the furniture, stay for the meatballs.
	🎸 ♥ 9:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:25 Yeah. I listened to it SO OFTEN. It's pretty great!
	🎸 ♥ 9:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:25 Sleep well, Krys!
	🎸 ♥ 9:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:25 But of course!
	🎸 ♥ 9:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:25 That makes so much sense.
	9:27pm Chuck: ↳ Song: "IKEA" by "Jonathan Coulton" Kind of reminds me of an Elvis Costello song???...:)
	🎸 ♥ 9:27pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:26 You know I'm a fan of his!
	♥ 9:27pm Imaginos: Reminds me of Hardware Store
	🎸 ♥ 9:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Chuck @9:27 Certainly, Jonathan Coulton would have to admit that he had HEARD of Elvis, if pressed.
	🎸 ♥ 9:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "I've Been Amwayed!" by "Pat Boone" Probably the first Pat Boone I've played on the show since his Heavy Metal Cover album was new.
	9:29pm Mr. X: My Dad tried to put himself through college by selling Amway door-to-door. But he was a total failure at it. So this song has personal meaning for me.
	9:29pm Chuck: I'm pretty sure that Pat Boone will go down into history!!!...:)
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:29 I can't imagine being GOOD at it. But I'm sure there were people who were. I'm just bad at selling ANYTHING.
	9:31pm Chuck: ↳ Austin Rich @9:30 It helps to be socially inclined???...:)
	🎸 ♥ 9:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Awake" by "V.K. and Sci Fi" V.K. is Vicki Krohn Amorose, a founder of the San Francisco activist group, The Nuclear Beauty Parlor. “Awake” is the B side of a 7” single called “The Nuclear Beauty Parlor.” The A side of the single, the title song, is credited to Re Styles and the Final Rinse. Re Styles was Shirley Marie MacLeod, a member of The Tubes. Production of this single was funded by the Bay Area impresario, Bill Graham. Some info about the activist group The Nuclear Beauty Parlor can be found here: en.wikipedia.org...
	🎸 ♥ 9:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ Chuck @9:31 Very true!
	9:32pm Chuck: I hate looking at the clock when it says 11:11..!..:)
	9:33pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Awake" by "V.K. and Sci Fi" I have felt this way many times in the depths of insomnia.
	🎸 ♥ 9:33pm Heather Z: ↳ Mr. X @9:29 After college, I did training to sell fancy vacuum cleaners. I was so shy then, I probably would have been so bad. But I didn't go through with the selling. My dad was very discouraging. So I got a retail gig instead.
	🎸 ♥ 9:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:33 Yeah, this is FAR too relatable.
	9:33pm Mr. X: ↳ Chuck @9:32 Really? I always superstitiously took it to be a sign of good luck to catch the clock at 11:11.
	🎸 ♥ 9:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:33 I think most early jobs all feel like scams. Some more than others.
	9:34pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:33 I once palyed it for a friend who couldn't handle it and made me stop it.
	🎸 ♥ 9:35pm Heather Z: ↳ Mr. X @9:33 I make a wish. And, at 8:08, I exclaim, "state time!"
	🎸 ♥ 9:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:35 8:08 is Bob o'clock. (Also good luck.)
	9:35pm Mr. X: ↳ Heather Z @9:33 LOL, you are better off for it, too, I bet.
	🎸 ♥ 9:36pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:34 The vacuums were legit but my dad sure did think it was a scam!
	🎸 ♥ 9:37pm Heather Z: ↳ Mr. X @9:35 I'll make a wish for anything. Get me near a fountain? I've got pennies for everyone! Let's throw some coins at the water!
	🎸 ♥ 9:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:36 Vacuums are legit. But you can also buy them in stores and you don't have to sign weird contracts or agree to a payment plan.
	9:37pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Sleep Is Wrong" by "Sleepytime Gorilla Museum" Someone mentioned Sleepytime Gorilla Museum in the chat a few weeks back. We're granting their wish.
	9:37pm Chuck: ↳ Heather Z @9:33 My stepdad was very successful in retail merchandising...he became a vice president of holly stores Incorporated which supplied all of the women's and children's clothing to Kmart at the time... those were some very good years!!!...:)
	🎸 ♥ 9:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:37 They grew out of the really odd band, "Idiot Flesh," who are probably as weird as this group.
	9:39pm Mr. X: ↳ Mr. X @9:37 Oh I didn't realize they were on Seeland. That explains a few things.
	🎸 ♥ 9:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:39 There's always more connections to make.
	9:39pm Chuck: ↳ Mr. X @9:33 Oh ok... I must have had it backwards???... I'm going to start feeling good every time I see it...:)
	🎸 ♥ 9:39pm Heather Z: ↳ Chuck @9:37 That's so excellent!! I only worked at a cut rate book store for that summer and then got my foot in the publishing door by working at basically a factory. Third shift proofreading. Phew. But it was a job!
	♥ 9:40pm Imaginos: Getting sleepy. Great show tonight though. What to do, what to do...
	🎸 ♥ 9:40pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:40 Hang in there... but don't feel guilty if you have to sleep. But I've heard it is wrong.
	9:41pm Mr. X: ↳ Imaginos @9:40 Probably our fault for including songs about sleep. But don't worry, we'll change the subject.
	♥ 9:41pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:40 So it seems. And what is it about pillows that wakes people up?
	🎸 ♥ 9:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Trigger Happy" by ""Weird Al" Yankovic" This is a known earworm, so I hope it's not stuck in any heads after this.
	🎸 ♥ 9:43pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:42 Weird Al, too!! This is a total earworm but worth it.
	9:44pm Mr. X: Weird Al of course was "discovered" by the good Dr., so we had to include a nod to Yankovic, despite our better judgement.
	🎸 ♥ 9:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Trigger Happy" by ""Weird Al" Yankovic" I always forget how good his songs are, until I'm listening, and realize how SPOT ON the music is. He always impresses.
	9:45pm Chuck: Weird artificial intelligence???...:)
	🎸 ♥ 9:45pm Heather Z: ↳ Mr. X @9:44 I'm thrilled to hear him so glad he made the cut!
	🎸 ♥ 9:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ Chuck @9:45 Oh no! You willed it into existence! I'm sure it's out there!
	♥ 9:46pm Imaginos: ↳ Chuck @9:45 Wouldn't that be max headroom
	9:46pm ramencity: Oh I was sure "Skeet Surfin' USA" was going to follow "Trigger Happy"
	9:47pm Mr. X: ↳ ramencity @9:46 We also considered "Ack Ack Ack" by The Urinals.
	🎸 ♥ 9:47pm Heather Z: Haven't heard this since I lost my tape I made of a Dr Demento broadcast on the air when I was a kid!!!
	🎸 ♥ 9:47pm Austin Rich: My Valentine's Day show earlier this year with Heather featured several tunes by Julie Brown, trying to focus on the other parts of her career. This tune was intentionally left out of that show, since we were looking for other songs. But if there was ever a time and a place to parody gun violence, we figure this is our best opportunity. And: it is her most famous song.
	9:48pm Mr. X: ↳ Heather Z @9:47 You have good taste in novelty music.
	🎸 ♥ 9:48pm Heather Z: ↳ Mr. X @9:48 Oh, thank you! As do you, for sure!!
	9:49pm Mike Rogers: Hey Austin san!
	9:49pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Homecoming Queen's Got a Gun" by "Julie Brown" Ah, the days when school shootings were considered hilarious!
	9:49pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Homecoming Queen's Got a Gun" by "Julie Brown" Johnny? Who's Johnny?
	🎸 ♥ 9:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:49 Mike Rogers! Hooray!
	9:50pm ramencity: ↳ Mr. X @9:49 Johnny is obvs Ralph Macchio
	🎸 ♥ 9:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:49 We might get inappropriate, from time to time. But in the name of comedy!
	9:50pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Austin Rich @9:50 I got a few moments I can chat. Pulling my hair out today.
	9:50pm Chuck: We're supposed to think that guns aren't getting any crazier it's just people that are???...:)
	🎸 ♥ 9:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:50 Hopefully for fun?
	♥ 9:51pm Imaginos: ↳ ramencity @9:50 The video hinted that Johnny was the cop who shot her
	🎸 ♥ 9:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Greed and Violence" by "Raw Sugar" Raw Sugar was Kirsten Anderberg/Baker (Mother Zosima) and Linda Schierman 1982-89. Raw Sugar’s self-released cassette can be heard here: www.youtube.com... Another Raw Sugar collection, labeled only “1985” can be heard here: www.youtube.com... Mother Zosima’s cassette release “The Greatest Story Ever Sold” can be heard here: www.youtube.com... An informative blog article about The Greatest Story Ever Sold can be found here: archaicinventions.blogspot.com... Mother Zosima herself added comments on this blog article with a chronology of her career, along with stories about being censored and arrested for her song lyrics.
	9:53pm ramencity: ↳ Imaginos @9:51 oh i figured it was an Outsiders reference! "Do it for Johnny!" always brings to mind a shirtless Matt Dillon
	9:53pm Chuck: How about desperation and violence???...:)
	🎸 ♥ 9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:53 Shirtless Matt Dillon is never far from any of our minds.
	♥ 9:54pm Imaginos: ↳ Chuck @9:53 Or that evil Orchestra music. Sax and violins
	🎸 ♥ 9:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Helter Skelter" by "The Bobs" Not the only acappella song in our playlist tonight.
	♥ 9:56pm Imaginos: Going to sign off for tonight but a will see you in the future
	🎸 ♥ 9:57pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:56 Indeed! Take care!
	9:57pm Chuck: ↳ Imaginos @9:54 Those movie soundtracks which dictate our moods???...:)
	🎸 ♥ 9:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" by "Marc Ribot" I have been more and more into Marc Ribot as I get older. I really like his style
	9:58pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:58 His "Have a Nice Day" is hilarious.
	9:59pm Mr. X: This set is our reaction to the "new" Beatles single released earlier this week.
	🎸 ♥ 10:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:59 The Be-AI-tles, you mean?
	10:00pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "My Guitar Wants To Kill Your Mama" by "Frank Zappa" This is from Weasles Ripped My Flesh.
	10:00pm Chuck: ↳ Song: "My Guitar Wants To Kill Your Mama" by "Frank Zappa" I love artists who are self indulgent!!!...:)
	10:01pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:00 Zing!
	🎸 ♥ 10:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:00 Whoops! I can adjust that in a bit...
	10:09pm Chuck: I wrote a piece about Puritan Urine once...:)
	10:10pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "Sensitive New Age Guy" by "Christine Lavin" Predictably (for me) I can mention a Half Man Half Biscuit song along these lines: "I'm A Sensitive Outsider"
	🎸 ♥ 10:11pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:10 Oh, damn! That would have been a good follow-up.
	10:12pm Mr. X: ↳ ramencity @10:10 Or King Missile's "I Am a Sensitive Artist."
	🎸 ♥ 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "You Suck" by "Yeastie Girlz" The Yeastie Girlz were founded in 1987 in Berkeley California. Their 1988 EP, Ovary Action, can be found here: www.youtube.com... Additional material can be found on their BandCamp page, here: yeastiegirlz.bandcamp.com Their song “You Suck” was covered by Consolidated, featuring The Yeastie Girlz themselves on vocals.
	🎸 ♥ 10:13pm Heather Z: Haven't heard this since the club days! There was a rave mix they played pretty often, for obvious reasons.
	🎸 ♥ 10:13pm Austin Rich: The performers in Yeastie Girlz have their own website, with links to live performance recordings, and lots of stories about their career. A great resource: www.yeastiegirlz.com
	10:14pm Chuck: Oh my!!!...:)
	10:14pm ramencity: ↳ Mr. X @10:12 Oh yeah - double down on the double-down!
	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Boobs A Lot" by "The Fugs" I do like the Fugs... but only the first few albums. They get a little... well... boring, to be honest. But those early recordings are Brill.
	10:16pm Chuck: What about the girls who belong to the Itty Bitty Titty Committee???...:)
	🎸 ♥ 10:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ Chuck @10:16 I only know them as a polite fan.
	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm Aitch: increase my bust?
	10:20pm Chuck: ↳ Austin Rich @10:17 Hehehe...:)
	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ Aitch @10:20 Nice to see you in the chat! Yeah, just go with it... all the kids are doing it.
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "The Toilet's Flooded" by "Limbomaniacs" The Limbomaniacs album Stinky Grooves was produced by Bill Laswell, released in 1990.
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm Aitch: ↳ Austin Rich @10:20 Been trying to lose the man-boobs at this end. Lurking today, but listening
	10:21pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "The Toilet's Flooded" by "Limbomaniacs" This is the most 1990 thing I have ever heard.
	10:21pm Chuck: ↳ Aitch @10:20 Only if they can make them hang off to the side!!!...:)
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Aitch @10:21 We love our lurkers.
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:21 Yeah... the production style is just... wow.
	♥ 10:23pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Song: "The Toilet's Flooded" by "Limbomaniacs" Reminds me of Green Jelly
	🎸 ♥ 10:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Barno in Akron @10:23 Yeah. I think Green Jelly even has a song about "excrement" coming to life, too.
	10:24pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "I Fell In Love With A Female Plumber from Harlesd... They have a song that's not about a packet of crisps?!
	🎸 ♥ 10:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "I Fell In Love With A Female Plumber from Harlesd... I do love this band! They have a number of classics that are essential.
	🎸 ♥ 10:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:24 They do!
	🎸 ♥ 10:27pm Heather Z: I love a good radio threat call!
	🎸 ♥ 10:28pm Heather Z: If you get the cats to run through without collars, that counts as streaking.
	🎸 ♥ 10:29pm Aitch: Bumblebee stung me!
	10:29pm Mr. X: @ Mr. Fab: Thanks for helping us out with your voice acting, super nice job!
	🎸 ♥ 10:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Endangered Species" This is our "political" set. Please! Won't someone think of the Bees!
	🎸 ♥ 10:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Bumble Boogie" by "B. Bumble & The Stingers" Another total earworm tune. I do apologize for anyone who gets it stuck in their head as a result. Its in my head ALL the time.
	10:32pm Chuck: ↳ Austin Rich @10:29 Do-beez or don't-beez!?!...:)
	10:32pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:31 Was this ever on the actual Dr. D show?
	🎸 ♥ 10:32pm Austin Rich: Randy Laist is a singer-songwriter YouTuber, who performed this series of songs about extinct animals - one for each letter of the alphabet - and posted it to YouTube in 2011. The complete set of 26 tunes, called “ABC’s of Extinction,” can be found here: www.youtube.com...
	🎸 ♥ 10:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "W Is For Wooly Mammoth" by "Randy Laist" Thanks to Xeres, I am now OBSESSED with Randy's songs about extinct animals. It is HIGHLY recommended.
	🎸 ♥ 10:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Q Is For Quagga" by "Randy Laist" This is the one I have been singing for weeks now.
	10:34pm Chuck: I love the song Wildlife by Paul McCartney and Wings it got bad reviews but it's one of my favorites!!!...:)
	10:34pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Q Is For Quagga" by "Randy Laist" A victim of quaggacide.
	🎸 ♥ 10:39pm Austin Rich: I urge you all to take a look at the performers as you listen to this.
	10:40pm Chuck: Was this produced by Mel Brooks or what???...:)
	10:40pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:39 Bow tie role models.
	🎸 ♥ 10:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Chuck @10:40 It doesn't seem real... like... it should be a joke in a movie... but... it's real!
	🎸 ♥ 10:42pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "The Ballad of Naked Man" by "The Butthole Surfers" Some gems on this record
	🎸 ♥ 10:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "The Ballad of Naked Man" by "The Butthole Surfers" I do love the early Butthole Surfers albums. There is a weirdness to them that they sort of sanded off on their later albums.
	10:44pm Chuck: ↳ Austin Rich @10:41 Well... this has really been a fun show to listen to...:)
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm Aitch: Who'd a thunk, from Wiki.. "The band chose to follow a heavier orientation for most of the record, following the hiring of producer John Paul Jones, formerly of Led Zeppelin"
	🎸 ♥ 10:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Chuck @10:44 Thanks! You should thank Mr. X, who did all the planning.
	10:45pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:43 This was one of Austin's choices, and it fits the theme perfectly.
	🎸 ♥ 10:45pm Austin Rich: Sorry for the break in the stream! We'll be uploading a pristine copy of this show for the archive.
	🎸 ♥ 10:46pm Aitch: particular track on this Dog Inside Your Body they really let rip
	🎸 ♥ 10:46pm Austin Rich: (Looks like we were only out for a second... hope it wasn't too noticable.)
	🎸 ♥ 10:48pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:46 It was just a blip!
	🎸 ♥ 10:48pm Aitch: making sense a stretch, but good listening
	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "TV Heaven" Our final Musical Set. Thanks everyone for joining us! This was a lot of fun.
	10:51pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "Stairway to Gilligan's Island" by "Little Roger &... wait - did you play this a few months ago? I heard this around then
	10:51pm Chuck: ↳ Austin Rich @10:50 Yes... make sure to vote Democrat!!!...:)
	🎸 ♥ 10:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:51 First time I played it on the show... but who knows?
	🎸 ♥ 10:52pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:50 Great stuff tonight! Thank you... both? All? So much!! Have a great night, everyone!
	🎸 ♥ 10:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Stairway to Gilligan's Island" by "Little Roger &... I have to say: this band does a pretty good Zeppelin.
	10:53pm Mr. X: ↳ Heather Z @10:52 Glad you liked it! Thanks for tuning in, Heather.
	10:53pm Chuck: ↳ Heather Z @10:52 Sweet dreams!!!...:)
	🎸 ♥ 10:53pm Heather Z: ↳ Mr. X @10:53 I had an excellent time tuning in!! Thanks so much!!
	🎸 ♥ 10:53pm Heather Z: ↳ Chuck @10:53 You too!! 💤
	🎸 ♥ 10:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Gilligan's Island" by "Hüsker Dü" Some uber punk fan on the internet has taken to "remastering" old punk records, and this live album in particular sounds pretty good with his re-master on it. (The original is so murky... it could only get better.)
	🎸 ♥ 10:55pm Aitch: 2 tickets to paradise? OK
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Aitch @10:55 Paradise... Disneyland... Two for Tuesday...
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "The Day Walt Disney Died" by "JFA" Do love me some JFA. As I understand it: they are still around, and even played a show not long ago? Astonishing.
	11:00pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:59 Do we need to say what JFA stands for? Jody Foster's Army.
	🎸 ♥ 11:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @11:00 True! That detail might not be obvious to a modern listener.
	🎸 ♥ 11:01pm Austin Rich: Thanks everyone!

View austinrich's profile

A combination of collage, new experimental records and other bits and bobs, Mid-Valley Mutations is a tour through the mind of Austin Rich, who has been broadcasting in some form since 1998. Heavily influenced by Dr Demento, Don Joyce and old fashioned College Radio, Austin creates Audio Essays on a variety of subjects, and even just plays records, from time to time. Sometimes Live music and Interviews will grace the program, helping create a situation where you don't really know what you're going to hear, when you tune in. What you need to know is when you enter the Mid-Valley region, be prepared for the Musical Mutations... in whatever form they take.

	9:11pm Chuck: The Pidge mentioned this show this morning... thought I'd drop by and check it out hello Austin and all..!..cheerz!!!!...:)
	🎸 ♥ 9:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Chuck @9:11 Thanks for joining us, Chuck!
	🎸 ♥ 9:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:10 Our show has been called "The Taco Tuesday of Radio."
	9:14pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:13 It's about as messy as eating two tacos at once, too.
	🎸 ♥ 9:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:14 I think that's why most street tacos come with two shells? So you CAN eat two at once?
	♥ 9:16pm Imaginos: ↳ Song: "Spontaneous Apple Creation" by "The Crazy World O... Speaking of things that grow on trees, I can't Help thinking of Land of the Glass Pinecones and the Yum Yum Tree by Tom Dark.
	9:16pm Chuck: ↳ Mr. X @9:14 You mean 'also'...:)
	9:16pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "The Eggplant That Ate Chicago" by "Dr. West's Med... Norman Greenbaum of "Spirit in the Sky" fame does a cover of this song.
	9:17pm Mr Fab: Hey Austin, this food theme is making me hungry, i haven’t had dinner yet!
	♥ 9:17pm Imaginos: ↳ Song: "The Eggplant That Ate Chicago" by "Dr. West's Med... This reminds me of My Wife Left Home with a Banana
	9:17pm Mr. X: ↳ Chuck @9:16 All puns involving the concept of "two" are deliberate here.
	🎸 ♥ 9:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:17 Eat, eat! You'll thank yourself afterwards.
	9:19pm Mr. X: Disclaimer: I've been a vegetarian since 1979, but I like this song putting down vegetarians. It's important to be able to laugh at oneself.
	🎸 ♥ 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Beef Bologna" by "Fear" The Drummer for Fear lives north of The Mid-Valley these days, and drums in a new band - Nasalrod - that is pretty excellent.
	♥ 9:23pm Imaginos: Austin, I would like to get together with you and Heather for the second part of our recording.
	9:23pm Chuck: Nobody wants to know what's really in beef bologna!!!...:)
	9:24pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @9:22 Spit Stix?! That guy is a MONSTER.
	🎸 ♥ 9:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:23 I'm into that!
	🎸 ♥ 9:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:24 That's the gent! He's very nice, too!
	🎸 ♥ 9:25pm Austin Rich: Jonathan Coulton wrote and performed the theme song of the 2007-08 animated series Code Monkeys.
	9:25pm Mr Fab: “The Record” was probably my most played hardcore album back in my misspent youth.
	🎸 ♥ 9:25pm Krys O.: Good night, all!
	🎸 ♥ 9:25pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:25 Ahh!!! Coulton on MVM!! Yessss!!
	🎸 ♥ 9:25pm Austin Rich: Oh my! I forgot to post this early in show notes: Tonight’s show is a sequel to our January 18, 2022 production The Demento Dimension. When you get a chance, we hope you will check out or revisit that program at: wfmu.org...
	9:25pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "IKEA" by "Jonathan Coulton" I have only heard this song at karaoke
	♥ 9:26pm Imaginos: Go for the furniture, stay for the meatballs.
	🎸 ♥ 9:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:25 Yeah. I listened to it SO OFTEN. It's pretty great!
	🎸 ♥ 9:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:25 Sleep well, Krys!
	🎸 ♥ 9:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:25 But of course!
	🎸 ♥ 9:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:25 That makes so much sense.
	9:27pm Chuck: ↳ Song: "IKEA" by "Jonathan Coulton" Kind of reminds me of an Elvis Costello song???...:)
	🎸 ♥ 9:27pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:26 You know I'm a fan of his!
	♥ 9:27pm Imaginos: Reminds me of Hardware Store
	🎸 ♥ 9:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Chuck @9:27 Certainly, Jonathan Coulton would have to admit that he had HEARD of Elvis, if pressed.
	🎸 ♥ 9:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "I've Been Amwayed!" by "Pat Boone" Probably the first Pat Boone I've played on the show since his Heavy Metal Cover album was new.
	9:29pm Mr. X: My Dad tried to put himself through college by selling Amway door-to-door. But he was a total failure at it. So this song has personal meaning for me.
	9:29pm Chuck: I'm pretty sure that Pat Boone will go down into history!!!...:)
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:29 I can't imagine being GOOD at it. But I'm sure there were people who were. I'm just bad at selling ANYTHING.
	9:31pm Chuck: ↳ Austin Rich @9:30 It helps to be socially inclined???...:)
	🎸 ♥ 9:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Awake" by "V.K. and Sci Fi" V.K. is Vicki Krohn Amorose, a founder of the San Francisco activist group, The Nuclear Beauty Parlor. “Awake” is the B side of a 7” single called “The Nuclear Beauty Parlor.” The A side of the single, the title song, is credited to Re Styles and the Final Rinse. Re Styles was Shirley Marie MacLeod, a member of The Tubes. Production of this single was funded by the Bay Area impresario, Bill Graham. Some info about the activist group The Nuclear Beauty Parlor can be found here: en.wikipedia.org...
	🎸 ♥ 9:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ Chuck @9:31 Very true!
	9:32pm Chuck: I hate looking at the clock when it says 11:11..!..:)
	9:33pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Awake" by "V.K. and Sci Fi" I have felt this way many times in the depths of insomnia.
	🎸 ♥ 9:33pm Heather Z: ↳ Mr. X @9:29 After college, I did training to sell fancy vacuum cleaners. I was so shy then, I probably would have been so bad. But I didn't go through with the selling. My dad was very discouraging. So I got a retail gig instead.
	🎸 ♥ 9:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:33 Yeah, this is FAR too relatable.
	9:33pm Mr. X: ↳ Chuck @9:32 Really? I always superstitiously took it to be a sign of good luck to catch the clock at 11:11.
	🎸 ♥ 9:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:33 I think most early jobs all feel like scams. Some more than others.
	9:34pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:33 I once palyed it for a friend who couldn't handle it and made me stop it.
	🎸 ♥ 9:35pm Heather Z: ↳ Mr. X @9:33 I make a wish. And, at 8:08, I exclaim, "state time!"
	🎸 ♥ 9:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:35 8:08 is Bob o'clock. (Also good luck.)
	9:35pm Mr. X: ↳ Heather Z @9:33 LOL, you are better off for it, too, I bet.
	🎸 ♥ 9:36pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:34 The vacuums were legit but my dad sure did think it was a scam!
	🎸 ♥ 9:37pm Heather Z: ↳ Mr. X @9:35 I'll make a wish for anything. Get me near a fountain? I've got pennies for everyone! Let's throw some coins at the water!
	🎸 ♥ 9:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:36 Vacuums are legit. But you can also buy them in stores and you don't have to sign weird contracts or agree to a payment plan.
	9:37pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Sleep Is Wrong" by "Sleepytime Gorilla Museum" Someone mentioned Sleepytime Gorilla Museum in the chat a few weeks back. We're granting their wish.
	9:37pm Chuck: ↳ Heather Z @9:33 My stepdad was very successful in retail merchandising...he became a vice president of holly stores Incorporated which supplied all of the women's and children's clothing to Kmart at the time... those were some very good years!!!...:)
	🎸 ♥ 9:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:37 They grew out of the really odd band, "Idiot Flesh," who are probably as weird as this group.
	9:39pm Mr. X: ↳ Mr. X @9:37 Oh I didn't realize they were on Seeland. That explains a few things.
	🎸 ♥ 9:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:39 There's always more connections to make.
	9:39pm Chuck: ↳ Mr. X @9:33 Oh ok... I must have had it backwards???... I'm going to start feeling good every time I see it...:)
	🎸 ♥ 9:39pm Heather Z: ↳ Chuck @9:37 That's so excellent!! I only worked at a cut rate book store for that summer and then got my foot in the publishing door by working at basically a factory. Third shift proofreading. Phew. But it was a job!
	♥ 9:40pm Imaginos: Getting sleepy. Great show tonight though. What to do, what to do...
	🎸 ♥ 9:40pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:40 Hang in there... but don't feel guilty if you have to sleep. But I've heard it is wrong.
	9:41pm Mr. X: ↳ Imaginos @9:40 Probably our fault for including songs about sleep. But don't worry, we'll change the subject.
	♥ 9:41pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:40 So it seems. And what is it about pillows that wakes people up?
	🎸 ♥ 9:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Trigger Happy" by ""Weird Al" Yankovic" This is a known earworm, so I hope it's not stuck in any heads after this.
	🎸 ♥ 9:43pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:42 Weird Al, too!! This is a total earworm but worth it.
	9:44pm Mr. X: Weird Al of course was "discovered" by the good Dr., so we had to include a nod to Yankovic, despite our better judgement.
	🎸 ♥ 9:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Trigger Happy" by ""Weird Al" Yankovic" I always forget how good his songs are, until I'm listening, and realize how SPOT ON the music is. He always impresses.
	9:45pm Chuck: Weird artificial intelligence???...:)
	🎸 ♥ 9:45pm Heather Z: ↳ Mr. X @9:44 I'm thrilled to hear him so glad he made the cut!
	🎸 ♥ 9:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ Chuck @9:45 Oh no! You willed it into existence! I'm sure it's out there!
	♥ 9:46pm Imaginos: ↳ Chuck @9:45 Wouldn't that be max headroom
	9:46pm ramencity: Oh I was sure "Skeet Surfin' USA" was going to follow "Trigger Happy"
	9:47pm Mr. X: ↳ ramencity @9:46 We also considered "Ack Ack Ack" by The Urinals.
	🎸 ♥ 9:47pm Heather Z: Haven't heard this since I lost my tape I made of a Dr Demento broadcast on the air when I was a kid!!!
	🎸 ♥ 9:47pm Austin Rich: My Valentine's Day show earlier this year with Heather featured several tunes by Julie Brown, trying to focus on the other parts of her career. This tune was intentionally left out of that show, since we were looking for other songs. But if there was ever a time and a place to parody gun violence, we figure this is our best opportunity. And: it is her most famous song.
	9:48pm Mr. X: ↳ Heather Z @9:47 You have good taste in novelty music.
	🎸 ♥ 9:48pm Heather Z: ↳ Mr. X @9:48 Oh, thank you! As do you, for sure!!
	9:49pm Mike Rogers: Hey Austin san!
	9:49pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Homecoming Queen's Got a Gun" by "Julie Brown" Ah, the days when school shootings were considered hilarious!
	9:49pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Homecoming Queen's Got a Gun" by "Julie Brown" Johnny? Who's Johnny?
	🎸 ♥ 9:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:49 Mike Rogers! Hooray!
	9:50pm ramencity: ↳ Mr. X @9:49 Johnny is obvs Ralph Macchio
	🎸 ♥ 9:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:49 We might get inappropriate, from time to time. But in the name of comedy!
	9:50pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Austin Rich @9:50 I got a few moments I can chat. Pulling my hair out today.
	9:50pm Chuck: We're supposed to think that guns aren't getting any crazier it's just people that are???...:)
	🎸 ♥ 9:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:50 Hopefully for fun?
	♥ 9:51pm Imaginos: ↳ ramencity @9:50 The video hinted that Johnny was the cop who shot her
	🎸 ♥ 9:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Greed and Violence" by "Raw Sugar" Raw Sugar was Kirsten Anderberg/Baker (Mother Zosima) and Linda Schierman 1982-89. Raw Sugar’s self-released cassette can be heard here: www.youtube.com... Another Raw Sugar collection, labeled only “1985” can be heard here: www.youtube.com... Mother Zosima’s cassette release “The Greatest Story Ever Sold” can be heard here: www.youtube.com... An informative blog article about The Greatest Story Ever Sold can be found here: archaicinventions.blogspot.com... Mother Zosima herself added comments on this blog article with a chronology of her career, along with stories about being censored and arrested for her song lyrics.
	9:53pm ramencity: ↳ Imaginos @9:51 oh i figured it was an Outsiders reference! "Do it for Johnny!" always brings to mind a shirtless Matt Dillon
	9:53pm Chuck: How about desperation and violence???...:)
	🎸 ♥ 9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:53 Shirtless Matt Dillon is never far from any of our minds.
	♥ 9:54pm Imaginos: ↳ Chuck @9:53 Or that evil Orchestra music. Sax and violins
	🎸 ♥ 9:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Helter Skelter" by "The Bobs" Not the only acappella song in our playlist tonight.
	♥ 9:56pm Imaginos: Going to sign off for tonight but a will see you in the future
	🎸 ♥ 9:57pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:56 Indeed! Take care!
	9:57pm Chuck: ↳ Imaginos @9:54 Those movie soundtracks which dictate our moods???...:)
	🎸 ♥ 9:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" by "Marc Ribot" I have been more and more into Marc Ribot as I get older. I really like his style
	9:58pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:58 His "Have a Nice Day" is hilarious.
	9:59pm Mr. X: This set is our reaction to the "new" Beatles single released earlier this week.
	🎸 ♥ 10:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:59 The Be-AI-tles, you mean?
	10:00pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "My Guitar Wants To Kill Your Mama" by "Frank Zappa" This is from Weasles Ripped My Flesh.
	10:00pm Chuck: ↳ Song: "My Guitar Wants To Kill Your Mama" by "Frank Zappa" I love artists who are self indulgent!!!...:)
	10:01pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:00 Zing!
	🎸 ♥ 10:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:00 Whoops! I can adjust that in a bit...
	10:09pm Chuck: I wrote a piece about Puritan Urine once...:)
	10:10pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "Sensitive New Age Guy" by "Christine Lavin" Predictably (for me) I can mention a Half Man Half Biscuit song along these lines: "I'm A Sensitive Outsider"
	🎸 ♥ 10:11pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:10 Oh, damn! That would have been a good follow-up.
	10:12pm Mr. X: ↳ ramencity @10:10 Or King Missile's "I Am a Sensitive Artist."
	🎸 ♥ 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "You Suck" by "Yeastie Girlz" The Yeastie Girlz were founded in 1987 in Berkeley California. Their 1988 EP, Ovary Action, can be found here: www.youtube.com... Additional material can be found on their BandCamp page, here: yeastiegirlz.bandcamp.com Their song “You Suck” was covered by Consolidated, featuring The Yeastie Girlz themselves on vocals.
	🎸 ♥ 10:13pm Heather Z: Haven't heard this since the club days! There was a rave mix they played pretty often, for obvious reasons.
	🎸 ♥ 10:13pm Austin Rich: The performers in Yeastie Girlz have their own website, with links to live performance recordings, and lots of stories about their career. A great resource: www.yeastiegirlz.com
	10:14pm Chuck: Oh my!!!...:)
	10:14pm ramencity: ↳ Mr. X @10:12 Oh yeah - double down on the double-down!
	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Boobs A Lot" by "The Fugs" I do like the Fugs... but only the first few albums. They get a little... well... boring, to be honest. But those early recordings are Brill.
	10:16pm Chuck: What about the girls who belong to the Itty Bitty Titty Committee???...:)
	🎸 ♥ 10:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ Chuck @10:16 I only know them as a polite fan.
	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm Aitch: increase my bust?
	10:20pm Chuck: ↳ Austin Rich @10:17 Hehehe...:)
	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ Aitch @10:20 Nice to see you in the chat! Yeah, just go with it... all the kids are doing it.
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "The Toilet's Flooded" by "Limbomaniacs" The Limbomaniacs album Stinky Grooves was produced by Bill Laswell, released in 1990.
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm Aitch: ↳ Austin Rich @10:20 Been trying to lose the man-boobs at this end. Lurking today, but listening
	10:21pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "The Toilet's Flooded" by "Limbomaniacs" This is the most 1990 thing I have ever heard.
	10:21pm Chuck: ↳ Aitch @10:20 Only if they can make them hang off to the side!!!...:)
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Aitch @10:21 We love our lurkers.
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:21 Yeah... the production style is just... wow.
	♥ 10:23pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Song: "The Toilet's Flooded" by "Limbomaniacs" Reminds me of Green Jelly
	🎸 ♥ 10:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Barno in Akron @10:23 Yeah. I think Green Jelly even has a song about "excrement" coming to life, too.
	10:24pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "I Fell In Love With A Female Plumber from Harlesd... They have a song that's not about a packet of crisps?!
	🎸 ♥ 10:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "I Fell In Love With A Female Plumber from Harlesd... I do love this band! They have a number of classics that are essential.
	🎸 ♥ 10:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:24 They do!
	🎸 ♥ 10:27pm Heather Z: I love a good radio threat call!

	🎸 ♥ 10:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Endangered Species" This is our "political" set. Please! Won't someone think of the Bees!
	🎸 ♥ 10:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Bumble Boogie" by "B. Bumble & The Stingers" Another total earworm tune. I do apologize for anyone who gets it stuck in their head as a result. Its in my head ALL the time.
	10:32pm Chuck: ↳ Austin Rich @10:29 Do-beez or don't-beez!?!...:)
	10:32pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:31 Was this ever on the actual Dr. D show?
	🎸 ♥ 10:32pm Austin Rich: Randy Laist is a singer-songwriter YouTuber, who performed this series of songs about extinct animals - one for each letter of the alphabet - and posted it to YouTube in 2011. The complete set of 26 tunes, called “ABC’s of Extinction,” can be found here: www.youtube.com...
	🎸 ♥ 10:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "W Is For Wooly Mammoth" by "Randy Laist" Thanks to Xeres, I am now OBSESSED with Randy's songs about extinct animals. It is HIGHLY recommended.

	10:34pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Q Is For Quagga" by "Randy Laist" A victim of quaggacide.
	🎸 ♥ 10:39pm Austin Rich: I urge you all to take a look at the performers as you listen to this.
	10:40pm Chuck: Was this produced by Mel Brooks or what???...:)
	10:40pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:39 Bow tie role models.
	🎸 ♥ 10:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Chuck @10:40 It doesn't seem real... like... it should be a joke in a movie... but... it's real!
	🎸 ♥ 10:42pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "The Ballad of Naked Man" by "The Butthole Surfers" Some gems on this record
	🎸 ♥ 10:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "The Ballad of Naked Man" by "The Butthole Surfers" I do love the early Butthole Surfers albums. There is a weirdness to them that they sort of sanded off on their later albums.
	10:44pm Chuck: ↳ Austin Rich @10:41 Well... this has really been a fun show to listen to...:)
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm Aitch: Who'd a thunk, from Wiki.. "The band chose to follow a heavier orientation for most of the record, following the hiring of producer John Paul Jones, formerly of Led Zeppelin"
	🎸 ♥ 10:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Chuck @10:44 Thanks! You should thank Mr. X, who did all the planning.
	10:45pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:43 This was one of Austin's choices, and it fits the theme perfectly.

	🎸 ♥ 10:46pm Aitch: particular track on this Dog Inside Your Body they really let rip
	🎸 ♥ 10:46pm Austin Rich: (Looks like we were only out for a second... hope it wasn't too noticable.)
	🎸 ♥ 10:48pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:46 It was just a blip!
	🎸 ♥ 10:48pm Aitch: making sense a stretch, but good listening
	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "TV Heaven" Our final Musical Set. Thanks everyone for joining us! This was a lot of fun.
	10:51pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "Stairway to Gilligan's Island" by "Little Roger &... wait - did you play this a few months ago? I heard this around then

	🎸 ♥ 10:53pm Heather Z: ↳ Chuck @10:53 You too!! 💤
	🎸 ♥ 10:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Gilligan's Island" by "Hüsker Dü" Some uber punk fan on the internet has taken to "remastering" old punk records, and this live album in particular sounds pretty good with his re-master on it. (The original is so murky... it could only get better.)
	🎸 ♥ 10:55pm Aitch: 2 tickets to paradise? OK
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Aitch @10:55 Paradise... Disneyland... Two for Tuesday...
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "The Day Walt Disney Died" by "JFA" Do love me some JFA. As I understand it: they are still around, and even played a show not long ago? Astonishing.
	11:00pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:59 Do we need to say what JFA stands for? Jody Foster's Army.
	🎸 ♥ 11:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @11:00 True! That detail might not be obvious to a modern listener.
	🎸 ♥ 11:01pm Austin Rich: Thanks everyone!
