	🎸 ♥ 9:01pm Kat in the chat: Way out west? Sure. (I've caught a couple of the others, don't think I was on chat though.)
	🎸 ♥ 9:01pm Kat in the chat: Yes it is radio night
	🎸 ♥ 9:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:01 Kat! Hooray!

	🎸 ♥ 9:05pm Aitch: So far west here we're east again
	9:05pm Mr. X: Mmm, grub stew!
	♥ 9:06pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Mr. X @9:05 Delicious grub.
	🎸 ♥ 9:07pm Heather Z: I've loaded up Old Scratch's saddlebags with moonshine and vegetarian jerky. Let me know if I can pass around the old canteen.
	♥ 9:08pm Barno in Akron: How do you do, fellow kids?
	9:08pm Mr. X: ↳ Barno in Akron @9:08 Greetings Barno.

	♥ 9:08pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Barno in Akron @9:08 Daydreaming.
	🎸 ♥ 9:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:08 That's something I'm good at.
	♥ 9:10pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I always figured the gold rush was started by a misunderstanding.
	♥ 9:11pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: What if the guy actually said "its cold in them that hills"?
	♥ 9:11pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Mr. X @9:08 Hey Mr. X - I just saw Scott at Time Traveler records last week. He seems to be doing well.
	9:11pm laurapanic: OK I'm a new Austin fan. I cam e for the awesome tunes I heard on recent show/s. Now, so do we do radio theatre and tunes? Love it by the way. Maybe I should just listen and find out....
	♥ 9:11pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Austin Rich @9:08 Howdy, Austin. It's my pleasure to join y'all :)
	🎸 ♥ 9:11pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:10 "Rush? No, we meant RASH. All the burlap out here is causing a rash of RASHES."
	9:12pm laurapanic: I shall not question the mutations
	♥ 9:12pm Barno in Akron: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:08 Hahaha - Definitely daydreaming
	🎸 ♥ 9:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:12 We mutate to the beat of all sorts of things. Or, at least we try.
	🎸 ♥ 9:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:12 And: thanks for listening! Always nice to have more folks in the chat.
	9:13pm Mr. X: ↳ Barno in Akron @9:11 Thanks, Barno. I was going to ask you to check on him. Last I heard he could only open the shop a few days a week.
	🎸 ♥ 9:14pm Austin Rich: "Turkey Johnson" is a great Old West nickname, I think.
	♥ 9:15pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Mr. X @9:13 He is limiting the day's he's open. But he was up, around and smiling as always. A group of music fans had their chairs pulled up to the counter and they were all chatting about Jim Jarmush and Tom Waits :)
	🎸 ♥ 9:16pm Austin Rich: Damn. Looks like the signal reset for a moment. Sorry about that.
	♥ 9:16pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Mr. X @9:13 I mentioned you, but I couldn't remember where you are from - So he wasn't sure which cousin I was talking about. Hahaha
	9:17pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:13 yes, this show is in my regular listening schedule now. You win!
	9:17pm Mr. X: ↳ Barno in Akron @9:15 That's beautiful, Scott holding court for his devoted following at Time Traveler record store.
	♥ 9:17pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:16 No sweat
	🎸 ♥ 9:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Parlour Games" by "Six Finger Satellite" I recall when I first got this album, it basically listened to it alone for almost a week.
	♥ 9:19pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Mr. X @9:17 Scott is your cousin, right?
	9:21pm Mr. X: ↳ Barno in Akron @9:19 That's right. I'm one of his two cousins in Oregon.
	♥ 9:21pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: You ever hear the Old Witch ep Four Fingers and a Thumb?
	🎸 ♥ 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:17 It seems like, at least once a show, my signal drops. I need to re-thing my connections, and see if that helps. It's starting to get annoying.
	♥ 9:22pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Mr. X @9:21 Oh, cool! I'll remember that next time I see him. He didn't recognize the name Mr. X - Hahaha He kinda rolled his eyes. LOL!
	9:22pm Mr. X: ↳ Mr. X @9:21 He would know which one if you said my name starts with X.
	🎸 ♥ 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:21 I'm not familiar! I'll have to do some research after the show.
	9:23pm Mr. X: ↳ Mr. X @9:22 Maybe he is forgetting my nickname.
	🎸 ♥ 9:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Hong Kong Blues" by "Hoagy Carmichael" I'm a bit of a sucker for Hoagy Carmichael. But I saw that about a lot of artists.
	🎸 ♥ 9:24pm Heather Z: Well golly gee. Is that a big Sturgeon Supermoon I spy rising over the prairie? Isn't that something....
	9:24pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:23 Hoagy was exceptional.
	🎸 ♥ 9:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:24 I do love when a big ol' moon is up in the sky.
	🎸 ♥ 9:26pm Kat in the chat: Me too. Got a nice view of it right now from the windows of my new place.
	🎸 ♥ 9:26pm Austin Rich: You gotta love the old west, gambling with lives. Fun stuff...
	🎸 ♥ 9:26pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:25 Auspicious month. Blue Moon at the end of August, too! All the witches are so busy...
	9:26pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: ""Gentle Virtue" [Excerpt]" by "Frontier Gentleman" Somehow I knew this was going to come to human trafficking.
	🎸 ♥ 9:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:26 There's always a lot to do at the end of Summer.
	🎸 ♥ 9:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "I'm In Luck" by "Tight Bros From Way Back When" I was very sad when KARP broke up in the late 90's, so I drowned my sorrows in Tight Bros. records.
	♥ 9:28pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Heather Z @9:26 Cornwall and the harbor where witches went mad more than once
	9:29pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:27 I love Karp yessss
	🎸 ♥ 9:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:26 (It's still daylight out here in Oregon, but I love the moon so much.)
	♥ 9:29pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: This is the day Plutonia was launched
	9:31pm laurapanic: I have not yet watched the doco but I know it is there. Must remember
	🎸 ♥ 9:32pm Heather Z: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:28 None of em seem to be any madder than usual here in the house tonight. We'll see as the evening progresses!
	9:34pm Mr. X: Speaking of Paul Reubens, I just read a lovely post on social media from The Residents, saying what a pleasure it was to do the background music for Pee Wee's Playhouse.
	🎸 ♥ 9:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:31 It's a lot of fun. Some great PNW 90's memories.
	🎸 ♥ 9:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:34 I have been making a list of stuff that would make a good tribute to Pee Wee, and I forgot about The Residents! Thanks for the reminder.
	9:37pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:35 They said Reubens was generally kind of shy and calm, not manic and in-your-face like the Pee Wee character.
	9:37pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:35 they did? I gotta rewatch Peewee with that knowledge.
	🎸 ♥ 9:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:37 I recall when he started doing interviews as Paul, and not Pee Wee, and it was a little shocking how different he was. He was still pretty entertaining and funny, but in a very different way.
	9:38pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "She's Coming" by "The Mr. T Experience" I just saw their name about midway through a list of the 200 worst band names ever.
	🎸 ♥ 9:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:37 I think Gary Panter also did designs for Pee Wee. (The punk artist who did "Jimbo In Hell.")
	🎸 ♥ 9:40pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:38 That's funny! I did an interview with Dr. Frank, and we talking about how a list of "500 Guitarists Currently Working," was published, and we kept joking about it.
	🎸 ♥ 9:41pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Austin Rich @9:39 And for a WFMU t-shirt! Yes he did work for Pee-Wee.
	🎸 ♥ 9:41pm Austin Rich: "Sun of A Gun" is a bad word to The Frontier Gentleman.
	🎸 ♥ 9:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:41 I used to have a correspondence with Nicole Panter for a while, but we lost touch in the early 2000s.
	9:42pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:40 The list of 200 bad band names must have been compiled by one of the 500 guitarists who heard the interview and wanted revenge.
	🎸 ♥ 9:43pm Austin Rich: "You'll stretch help for this," is a crazy, but interesting, Old West threat.
	🎸 ♥ 9:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:32 How's the hooch tonight? I could use a dram... how dry I am...
	🎸 ♥ 9:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @9:43 stretch hemp, pardon. I can't type tonight.
	🎸 ♥ 9:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Don't You Worry" by "Don Gardner & Dee Dee Ford" I was originally given a tape with this song on it, a long time ago, and it was credited to Screamin' Jay Hawkins. I was recently corrected as to who did this song, preparing for this show.
	🎸 ♥ 9:46pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:43 Mighty refreshing! Have a dram or two. I have enough to go around!
	🎸 ♥ 9:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:29 And new stories lately?
	🎸 ♥ 9:49pm Austin Rich: "A little talk"?
	🎸 ♥ 9:49pm Krys O.: G'night, all!
	🎸 ♥ 9:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:49 Sleep well, Krys! Thanks again for the excellent show tonight.
	🎸 ♥ 9:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Guess I'm Fallin' In Love" by "The Gories" Seeing The Dirtbombs was, absolutely, one of the best shows I've ever seen, but I would really have loved to have seen The Gories in their heyday.
	🎸 ♥ 9:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Wedding Gown of White" by "Charlie Featers" One rule of Country Music: if the song is about a wedding, the song will be sad.
	🎸 ♥ 9:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Wedding Gown of White" by "Charlie Featers" Another rule of Country Music: if the song is by Charlie Feathers, it will be sad.
	♥ 9:58pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I'm hoping we will get to our project in the future
	♥ 9:59pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: It will be awesome. And Samhain is going to be great
	♥ 10:01pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Daydreams about the lottery are at an all-time high tonight
	10:01pm laurapanic: now I have big "I miss Morricone Island" feelings
	🎸 ♥ 10:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:01 I say this every time I play him, but seriously, MORE MORRICONE on this show. It's for everyone's benefit.
	🎸 ♥ 10:04pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""The Powder River Kid" [Excerpt]" by "Frontier Ge... 58? He sounds like he's 78.
	🎸 ♥ 10:05pm Kat in the chat: My new goal is to be the meanest piece of calico
	🎸 ♥ 10:06pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:05 I'm into it. Though urban dictionary has sort of updated the definition of calico. But it's not too far off from the original.
	🎸 ♥ 10:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:05 As I understand, it originally meant, "Thin and attractive." Now it seems to be, "A sexy lady, usually a cougar, that has three different colors in her hair."
	10:09pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Bad News" by "The Trashmen" If bird is the word, it's bad news?
	🎸 ♥ 10:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:09 The Trashmen are, if nothing, a wealth of contradictions.
	🎸 ♥ 10:13pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Austin Rich @10:08 Urban Dictionary isn't terribly reliable these days. For me, calico evokes images of either vintage quilts or my dear departed cat.
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""The Powder River Kid" [Excerpt]" by "Frontier Ge... As indicated in previous episodes, while he does seem to know something about medicine, The Frontier Gentleman is not a medic. I think he might have assisted a doctor when he was in the service, in the army, when he was out in India. (As mentioned in a previous episode.)
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:08 At work, a colleague was talking about a cougar attack in the news a few years ago. I said, real deadpan like, "thanks a lot, Eric. That was a really hard day for me." It took a sec and then everyone cracked up.
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:13 I do love calico cats. And a mean piece of calico evokes a great image of a strong, independent cat. I love it!
	10:15pm laurapanic: I fancy myself as a sackful of trouble.
	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:15 That's a pretty good phrase. This show has a lot of good old slang.
	🎸 ♥ 10:16pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Heather Z @10:14 LOVE that, Heather!
	🎸 ♥ 10:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:14 You were in a mood that day. Most people who know you understood it wasn't an attack PER SE. But the news... they always blow it out of proportion.
	🎸 ♥ 10:18pm Heather Z: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:16 It was pretty good! I miss the office sometimes but not really. That little group of colleagues was pretty fun, though!
	🎸 ♥ 10:19pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:16 I was just driving BY the high school! I didn't even pull in the bus circle!
	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Dinner Music for a Pack of Hungry Cannibals" by "... Another album that, when I got it, I basically listened to it on repeat for weeks afterwards. Just amazing.
	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm Austin Rich: There's a tune coming up that I picking thinking of Mr. X, as I know he's a fan, too.
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:20 picked, pardon! I cannot type tonight to save my life.
	10:21pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:20 indeed, a great collection. I would imagine it's just the tip of an iceberg. Are you a fan of his electronic experiments as well?
	10:22pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:20 My ears are all perked up in anticipation.
	♥ 10:24pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Thinking back on last night's chat, I wonder how a western version of Edison, Theora, and Bryce would meet.
	🎸 ♥ 10:25pm Austin Rich: "Willy-Make-it"? Now they're name-checking Port-a-Potties.
	🎸 ♥ 10:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:24 I'll have to think on that. A few ideas come to mind.
	🎸 ♥ 10:26pm Austin Rich: "A wild one"? Sounds like my type.
	10:26pm laurapanic: STAY WILD MRS LOGAN
	10:27pm laurapanic: HECK are we having an amputation here?
	10:27pm laurapanic: the amputation scene in Gone With The Wind never leaves me.
	🎸 ♥ 10:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:27 Oh, nothing like that tonight. Though that's what I thought, when I first heard this story.
	10:28pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Poison" by "Oswald Five-0" Oh! Right on. Local heroes from back in the day.
	♥ 10:28pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Sounds like Bill might be vulture chow soon
	🎸 ♥ 10:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:28 I thought you'd love this inclusion, from the compilation, even! My one regret is that the show we were supposed to play, opening for Oswald back in the day, never happened. Oh well...
	10:29pm Mr. X: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:28 Gangrene just adds to the piquancy.
	♥ 10:29pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Mr. X @10:29 Tasty
	🎸 ♥ 10:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Poison" by "Oswald Five-0" The primary songwriter from Oswald Five-O died in a car accident with his family, and he has a career musician who had been in a number of bands. Here's a link to a compilation of some of his bands: harrietrecords.bandcamp.com...
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm Austin Rich: There's a part of me that would be interested in a collection of the newspaper stories The Frontier Gentleman wrote. That might be a fun book to reverse-engineer.
	10:35pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "Wanted Dead Or Alive" by "Honey Vizer" this is super cool
	10:36pm laurapanic: Is there a place called Boring in Oregon? There is a place called Bland in my state.
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Wanted Dead Or Alive" by "Honey Vizer" I used to date Honey Vizer in the 90's, and her shows were always great. Banjo and Accordion songs, mostly originals, but some covers. She plays guitar, too. She's amazing, and I wish her music was more widely available. Her originals are all country songs. She's amazing.
	♥ 10:36pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:35 It would be. He's sort of like Edison.
	🎸 ♥ 10:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:36 Bland needs to have a pen pan in Boring! Yes, there were always a lot of jokes about Boring, Oregon, growing up.
	🎸 ♥ 10:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Wanted Dead Or Alive" by "Honey Vizer" Somewhere in the back-catalog, I have a live set of her performing on my show. I used to replay that set ALL the time.
	10:38pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @10:38 she sounds very great
	🎸 ♥ 10:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:38 Later, when the Velveteria was in PDX, she learned to paint on velvet, and would paint amazing images of lizard people on velvet. I wish I'd bought when when I could... I don't know if there are any left anymore.
	10:40pm Mr. X: Going back to Helena Handbasket?
	🎸 ♥ 10:40pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:38 She's awesome!! I'd love to hear this set if you find it!!
	♥ 10:40pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:36 Imagine if the FG was frozen in time and was discovered by Edison's team in the Max Headroom era. Think he would get a job with Network 23 or Big Time?
	10:40pm laurapanic: Big Black anytime errry day
	🎸 ♥ 10:40pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:40 blasphuphmusradio.wordpress.com...
	🎸 ♥ 10:41pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:40 !!! Thank you!
	🎸 ♥ 10:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:40 Another band I played over and over again, when I first found them. Seeing Shellac has been my one pay-off for not being able to see Big Black.
	🎸 ♥ 10:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:40 Whoops. Link doesn't seem to work. I'll have to dig around...
	10:42pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @10:41 had a ticket for shellac once. Sitter pulled out couldn't go. Died inside.
	🎸 ♥ 10:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:41 I'll send it to you tonight.
	10:43pm Mr. X: ↳ laurapanic @10:42 I have some Shellac 7-inches that I don't think were ever released on other formats.
	🎸 ♥ 10:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:42 They do this gimmick where they stop the show dead, and ask the audience if they have any questions, and then they answer any that are interesting. Some people hate it, because it kills the momentum of the show. But I sort of love it.
	🎸 ♥ 10:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Forgiveness [Excerpt]" by "The Rachel's" This song goes on for another 10 minutes or so... but I think you got a good taste of it.
	🎸 ♥ 10:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Ride Away" by "The Fall" This was the first Fall album that came out after I became a fan, so I have a bit of a soft spot for it. But there's something to enjoy on most Fall albums... even if it's only one song.
	♥ 10:49pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I have a queen sized bed so naturally kitty has my arm pinned.
	10:49pm laurapanic: THE FALL YES PLEASE
	🎸 ♥ 10:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:49 The cats love to do that.
	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:49 I do enjoy a spot of The Fall now and then.
	♥ 10:50pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:49 And its always the arm you're typing with
	10:50pm laurapanic: ↳ Mr. X @10:43 there are one or two that are a bit rare, I believe. I have A Rude Gesture.
	10:51pm Mr. X: ↳ laurapanic @10:50 Nice.
	🎸 ♥ 10:52pm Kat in the chat: Thanks, Austin!
	🎸 ♥ 10:54pm Heather Z: Thanks for an awesome show, Austin, and a fun chat, everyone! Enjoy the supermoon!!
	♥ 10:54pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Another great show
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm Austin Rich: Thanks everyone! This was a ton of fun. See ya next time.
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: And until then: I'll be jealous of everyone's Shellac records.
	10:58pm laurapanic: thanks Austin
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm Austin Rich: "Why can't I be alone." Be careful! You might get what you asked for.
	10:59pm Mr. X: Good show, Austin. I'll leave my Shellac records in my will to you. I don't think my niece will want them.

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.

	🎸 ♥ 9:01pm Kat in the chat: Way out west? Sure. (I've caught a couple of the others, don't think I was on chat though.)
	🎸 ♥ 9:01pm Kat in the chat: Yes it is radio night
	🎸 ♥ 9:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:01 Kat! Hooray!

	🎸 ♥ 9:05pm Aitch: So far west here we're east again
	9:05pm Mr. X: Mmm, grub stew!
	♥ 9:06pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Mr. X @9:05 Delicious grub.
	🎸 ♥ 9:07pm Heather Z: I've loaded up Old Scratch's saddlebags with moonshine and vegetarian jerky. Let me know if I can pass around the old canteen.
	♥ 9:08pm Barno in Akron: How do you do, fellow kids?
	9:08pm Mr. X: ↳ Barno in Akron @9:08 Greetings Barno.

	♥ 9:08pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Barno in Akron @9:08 Daydreaming.
	🎸 ♥ 9:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:08 That's something I'm good at.
	♥ 9:10pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I always figured the gold rush was started by a misunderstanding.
	♥ 9:11pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: What if the guy actually said "its cold in them that hills"?
	♥ 9:11pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Mr. X @9:08 Hey Mr. X - I just saw Scott at Time Traveler records last week. He seems to be doing well.
	9:11pm laurapanic: OK I'm a new Austin fan. I cam e for the awesome tunes I heard on recent show/s. Now, so do we do radio theatre and tunes? Love it by the way. Maybe I should just listen and find out....
	♥ 9:11pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Austin Rich @9:08 Howdy, Austin. It's my pleasure to join y'all :)
	🎸 ♥ 9:11pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:10 "Rush? No, we meant RASH. All the burlap out here is causing a rash of RASHES."
	9:12pm laurapanic: I shall not question the mutations
	♥ 9:12pm Barno in Akron: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:08 Hahaha - Definitely daydreaming
	🎸 ♥ 9:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:12 We mutate to the beat of all sorts of things. Or, at least we try.
	🎸 ♥ 9:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:12 And: thanks for listening! Always nice to have more folks in the chat.
	9:13pm Mr. X: ↳ Barno in Akron @9:11 Thanks, Barno. I was going to ask you to check on him. Last I heard he could only open the shop a few days a week.
	🎸 ♥ 9:14pm Austin Rich: "Turkey Johnson" is a great Old West nickname, I think.
	♥ 9:15pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Mr. X @9:13 He is limiting the day's he's open. But he was up, around and smiling as always. A group of music fans had their chairs pulled up to the counter and they were all chatting about Jim Jarmush and Tom Waits :)
	🎸 ♥ 9:16pm Austin Rich: Damn. Looks like the signal reset for a moment. Sorry about that.
	♥ 9:16pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Mr. X @9:13 I mentioned you, but I couldn't remember where you are from - So he wasn't sure which cousin I was talking about. Hahaha
	9:17pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:13 yes, this show is in my regular listening schedule now. You win!
	9:17pm Mr. X: ↳ Barno in Akron @9:15 That's beautiful, Scott holding court for his devoted following at Time Traveler record store.
	♥ 9:17pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:16 No sweat
	🎸 ♥ 9:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Parlour Games" by "Six Finger Satellite" I recall when I first got this album, it basically listened to it alone for almost a week.
	♥ 9:19pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Mr. X @9:17 Scott is your cousin, right?
	9:21pm Mr. X: ↳ Barno in Akron @9:19 That's right. I'm one of his two cousins in Oregon.
	♥ 9:21pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: You ever hear the Old Witch ep Four Fingers and a Thumb?
	🎸 ♥ 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:17 It seems like, at least once a show, my signal drops. I need to re-thing my connections, and see if that helps. It's starting to get annoying.
	♥ 9:22pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Mr. X @9:21 Oh, cool! I'll remember that next time I see him. He didn't recognize the name Mr. X - Hahaha He kinda rolled his eyes. LOL!
	9:22pm Mr. X: ↳ Mr. X @9:21 He would know which one if you said my name starts with X.
	🎸 ♥ 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:21 I'm not familiar! I'll have to do some research after the show.
	9:23pm Mr. X: ↳ Mr. X @9:22 Maybe he is forgetting my nickname.
	🎸 ♥ 9:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Hong Kong Blues" by "Hoagy Carmichael" I'm a bit of a sucker for Hoagy Carmichael. But I saw that about a lot of artists.
	🎸 ♥ 9:24pm Heather Z: Well golly gee. Is that a big Sturgeon Supermoon I spy rising over the prairie? Isn't that something....
	9:24pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:23 Hoagy was exceptional.
	🎸 ♥ 9:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:24 I do love when a big ol' moon is up in the sky.
	🎸 ♥ 9:26pm Kat in the chat: Me too. Got a nice view of it right now from the windows of my new place.
	🎸 ♥ 9:26pm Austin Rich: You gotta love the old west, gambling with lives. Fun stuff...
	🎸 ♥ 9:26pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:25 Auspicious month. Blue Moon at the end of August, too! All the witches are so busy...
	9:26pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: ""Gentle Virtue" [Excerpt]" by "Frontier Gentleman" Somehow I knew this was going to come to human trafficking.
	🎸 ♥ 9:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:26 There's always a lot to do at the end of Summer.
	🎸 ♥ 9:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "I'm In Luck" by "Tight Bros From Way Back When" I was very sad when KARP broke up in the late 90's, so I drowned my sorrows in Tight Bros. records.
	♥ 9:28pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Heather Z @9:26 Cornwall and the harbor where witches went mad more than once
	9:29pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:27 I love Karp yessss
	🎸 ♥ 9:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:26 (It's still daylight out here in Oregon, but I love the moon so much.)
	♥ 9:29pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: This is the day Plutonia was launched
	9:31pm laurapanic: I have not yet watched the doco but I know it is there. Must remember
	🎸 ♥ 9:32pm Heather Z: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:28 None of em seem to be any madder than usual here in the house tonight. We'll see as the evening progresses!
	9:34pm Mr. X: Speaking of Paul Reubens, I just read a lovely post on social media from The Residents, saying what a pleasure it was to do the background music for Pee Wee's Playhouse.
	🎸 ♥ 9:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:31 It's a lot of fun. Some great PNW 90's memories.
	🎸 ♥ 9:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:34 I have been making a list of stuff that would make a good tribute to Pee Wee, and I forgot about The Residents! Thanks for the reminder.
	9:37pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:35 They said Reubens was generally kind of shy and calm, not manic and in-your-face like the Pee Wee character.
	9:37pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:35 they did? I gotta rewatch Peewee with that knowledge.
	🎸 ♥ 9:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:37 I recall when he started doing interviews as Paul, and not Pee Wee, and it was a little shocking how different he was. He was still pretty entertaining and funny, but in a very different way.
	9:38pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "She's Coming" by "The Mr. T Experience" I just saw their name about midway through a list of the 200 worst band names ever.
	🎸 ♥ 9:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:37 I think Gary Panter also did designs for Pee Wee. (The punk artist who did "Jimbo In Hell.")
	🎸 ♥ 9:40pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:38 That's funny! I did an interview with Dr. Frank, and we talking about how a list of "500 Guitarists Currently Working," was published, and we kept joking about it.
	🎸 ♥ 9:41pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Austin Rich @9:39 And for a WFMU t-shirt! Yes he did work for Pee-Wee.
	🎸 ♥ 9:41pm Austin Rich: "Sun of A Gun" is a bad word to The Frontier Gentleman.
	🎸 ♥ 9:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:41 I used to have a correspondence with Nicole Panter for a while, but we lost touch in the early 2000s.
	9:42pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:40 The list of 200 bad band names must have been compiled by one of the 500 guitarists who heard the interview and wanted revenge.
	🎸 ♥ 9:43pm Austin Rich: "You'll stretch help for this," is a crazy, but interesting, Old West threat.
	🎸 ♥ 9:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:32 How's the hooch tonight? I could use a dram... how dry I am...
	🎸 ♥ 9:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @9:43 stretch hemp, pardon. I can't type tonight.
	🎸 ♥ 9:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Don't You Worry" by "Don Gardner & Dee Dee Ford" I was originally given a tape with this song on it, a long time ago, and it was credited to Screamin' Jay Hawkins. I was recently corrected as to who did this song, preparing for this show.
	🎸 ♥ 9:46pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:43 Mighty refreshing! Have a dram or two. I have enough to go around!
	🎸 ♥ 9:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:29 And new stories lately?
	🎸 ♥ 9:49pm Austin Rich: "A little talk"?
	🎸 ♥ 9:49pm Krys O.: G'night, all!
	🎸 ♥ 9:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:49 Sleep well, Krys! Thanks again for the excellent show tonight.
	🎸 ♥ 9:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Guess I'm Fallin' In Love" by "The Gories" Seeing The Dirtbombs was, absolutely, one of the best shows I've ever seen, but I would really have loved to have seen The Gories in their heyday.
	🎸 ♥ 9:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Wedding Gown of White" by "Charlie Featers" One rule of Country Music: if the song is about a wedding, the song will be sad.
	🎸 ♥ 9:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Wedding Gown of White" by "Charlie Featers" Another rule of Country Music: if the song is by Charlie Feathers, it will be sad.
	♥ 9:58pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I'm hoping we will get to our project in the future
	♥ 9:59pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: It will be awesome. And Samhain is going to be great
	♥ 10:01pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Daydreams about the lottery are at an all-time high tonight
	10:01pm laurapanic: now I have big "I miss Morricone Island" feelings
	🎸 ♥ 10:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:01 I say this every time I play him, but seriously, MORE MORRICONE on this show. It's for everyone's benefit.
	🎸 ♥ 10:04pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""The Powder River Kid" [Excerpt]" by "Frontier Ge... 58? He sounds like he's 78.
	🎸 ♥ 10:05pm Kat in the chat: My new goal is to be the meanest piece of calico
	🎸 ♥ 10:06pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:05 I'm into it. Though urban dictionary has sort of updated the definition of calico. But it's not too far off from the original.
	🎸 ♥ 10:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:05 As I understand, it originally meant, "Thin and attractive." Now it seems to be, "A sexy lady, usually a cougar, that has three different colors in her hair."
	10:09pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Bad News" by "The Trashmen" If bird is the word, it's bad news?
	🎸 ♥ 10:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:09 The Trashmen are, if nothing, a wealth of contradictions.
	🎸 ♥ 10:13pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Austin Rich @10:08 Urban Dictionary isn't terribly reliable these days. For me, calico evokes images of either vintage quilts or my dear departed cat.
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""The Powder River Kid" [Excerpt]" by "Frontier Ge... As indicated in previous episodes, while he does seem to know something about medicine, The Frontier Gentleman is not a medic. I think he might have assisted a doctor when he was in the service, in the army, when he was out in India. (As mentioned in a previous episode.)
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:08 At work, a colleague was talking about a cougar attack in the news a few years ago. I said, real deadpan like, "thanks a lot, Eric. That was a really hard day for me." It took a sec and then everyone cracked up.
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:13 I do love calico cats. And a mean piece of calico evokes a great image of a strong, independent cat. I love it!
	10:15pm laurapanic: I fancy myself as a sackful of trouble.
	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:15 That's a pretty good phrase. This show has a lot of good old slang.
	🎸 ♥ 10:16pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Heather Z @10:14 LOVE that, Heather!
	🎸 ♥ 10:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:14 You were in a mood that day. Most people who know you understood it wasn't an attack PER SE. But the news... they always blow it out of proportion.
	🎸 ♥ 10:18pm Heather Z: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:16 It was pretty good! I miss the office sometimes but not really. That little group of colleagues was pretty fun, though!
	🎸 ♥ 10:19pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:16 I was just driving BY the high school! I didn't even pull in the bus circle!
	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Dinner Music for a Pack of Hungry Cannibals" by "... Another album that, when I got it, I basically listened to it on repeat for weeks afterwards. Just amazing.
	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm Austin Rich: There's a tune coming up that I picking thinking of Mr. X, as I know he's a fan, too.
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:20 picked, pardon! I cannot type tonight to save my life.
	10:21pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:20 indeed, a great collection. I would imagine it's just the tip of an iceberg. Are you a fan of his electronic experiments as well?
	10:22pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:20 My ears are all perked up in anticipation.
	♥ 10:24pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Thinking back on last night's chat, I wonder how a western version of Edison, Theora, and Bryce would meet.
	🎸 ♥ 10:25pm Austin Rich: "Willy-Make-it"? Now they're name-checking Port-a-Potties.
	🎸 ♥ 10:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:24 I'll have to think on that. A few ideas come to mind.
	🎸 ♥ 10:26pm Austin Rich: "A wild one"? Sounds like my type.
	10:26pm laurapanic: STAY WILD MRS LOGAN
	10:27pm laurapanic: HECK are we having an amputation here?
	10:27pm laurapanic: the amputation scene in Gone With The Wind never leaves me.
	🎸 ♥ 10:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:27 Oh, nothing like that tonight. Though that's what I thought, when I first heard this story.
	10:28pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Poison" by "Oswald Five-0" Oh! Right on. Local heroes from back in the day.
	♥ 10:28pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Sounds like Bill might be vulture chow soon
	🎸 ♥ 10:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:28 I thought you'd love this inclusion, from the compilation, even! My one regret is that the show we were supposed to play, opening for Oswald back in the day, never happened. Oh well...
	10:29pm Mr. X: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:28 Gangrene just adds to the piquancy.
	♥ 10:29pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Mr. X @10:29 Tasty
	🎸 ♥ 10:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Poison" by "Oswald Five-0" The primary songwriter from Oswald Five-O died in a car accident with his family, and he has a career musician who had been in a number of bands. Here's a link to a compilation of some of his bands: harrietrecords.bandcamp.com...
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm Austin Rich: There's a part of me that would be interested in a collection of the newspaper stories The Frontier Gentleman wrote. That might be a fun book to reverse-engineer.
	10:35pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "Wanted Dead Or Alive" by "Honey Vizer" this is super cool
	10:36pm laurapanic: Is there a place called Boring in Oregon? There is a place called Bland in my state.
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Wanted Dead Or Alive" by "Honey Vizer" I used to date Honey Vizer in the 90's, and her shows were always great. Banjo and Accordion songs, mostly originals, but some covers. She plays guitar, too. She's amazing, and I wish her music was more widely available. Her originals are all country songs. She's amazing.
	♥ 10:36pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:35 It would be. He's sort of like Edison.
	🎸 ♥ 10:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:36 Bland needs to have a pen pan in Boring! Yes, there were always a lot of jokes about Boring, Oregon, growing up.
	🎸 ♥ 10:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Wanted Dead Or Alive" by "Honey Vizer" Somewhere in the back-catalog, I have a live set of her performing on my show. I used to replay that set ALL the time.
	10:38pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @10:38 she sounds very great
	🎸 ♥ 10:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:38 Later, when the Velveteria was in PDX, she learned to paint on velvet, and would paint amazing images of lizard people on velvet. I wish I'd bought when when I could... I don't know if there are any left anymore.
	10:40pm Mr. X: Going back to Helena Handbasket?
	🎸 ♥ 10:40pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:38 She's awesome!! I'd love to hear this set if you find it!!
	♥ 10:40pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:36 Imagine if the FG was frozen in time and was discovered by Edison's team in the Max Headroom era. Think he would get a job with Network 23 or Big Time?
	10:40pm laurapanic: Big Black anytime errry day
	🎸 ♥ 10:40pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:40 blasphuphmusradio.wordpress.com...
	🎸 ♥ 10:41pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:40 !!! Thank you!
	🎸 ♥ 10:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:40 Another band I played over and over again, when I first found them. Seeing Shellac has been my one pay-off for not being able to see Big Black.
	🎸 ♥ 10:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:40 Whoops. Link doesn't seem to work. I'll have to dig around...
	10:42pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @10:41 had a ticket for shellac once. Sitter pulled out couldn't go. Died inside.
	🎸 ♥ 10:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:41 I'll send it to you tonight.
	10:43pm Mr. X: ↳ laurapanic @10:42 I have some Shellac 7-inches that I don't think were ever released on other formats.
	🎸 ♥ 10:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:42 They do this gimmick where they stop the show dead, and ask the audience if they have any questions, and then they answer any that are interesting. Some people hate it, because it kills the momentum of the show. But I sort of love it.
	🎸 ♥ 10:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Forgiveness [Excerpt]" by "The Rachel's" This song goes on for another 10 minutes or so... but I think you got a good taste of it.
	🎸 ♥ 10:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Ride Away" by "The Fall" This was the first Fall album that came out after I became a fan, so I have a bit of a soft spot for it. But there's something to enjoy on most Fall albums... even if it's only one song.
	♥ 10:49pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I have a queen sized bed so naturally kitty has my arm pinned.
	10:49pm laurapanic: THE FALL YES PLEASE
	🎸 ♥ 10:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:49 The cats love to do that.
	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:49 I do enjoy a spot of The Fall now and then.
	♥ 10:50pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:49 And its always the arm you're typing with
	10:50pm laurapanic: ↳ Mr. X @10:43 there are one or two that are a bit rare, I believe. I have A Rude Gesture.
	10:51pm Mr. X: ↳ laurapanic @10:50 Nice.
	🎸 ♥ 10:52pm Kat in the chat: Thanks, Austin!
	🎸 ♥ 10:54pm Heather Z: Thanks for an awesome show, Austin, and a fun chat, everyone! Enjoy the supermoon!!
	♥ 10:54pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Another great show
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm Austin Rich: Thanks everyone! This was a ton of fun. See ya next time.
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: And until then: I'll be jealous of everyone's Shellac records.
	10:58pm laurapanic: thanks Austin
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm Austin Rich: "Why can't I be alone." Be careful! You might get what you asked for.
	10:59pm Mr. X: Good show, Austin. I'll leave my Shellac records in my will to you. I don't think my niece will want them.
