Listener comments!
	6:03pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Transmission" by "M" Hey D-O! Wait, is this that "Pop Muzik" guy?
	6:04pm Don-O: ↳ Mr Fab @6:03 Yup!
	6:04pm Mr Fab: ↳ Don-O @6:04 he had another song?!?
	6:04pm Don-O: ↳ Don-O @6:04 Oh, and good hell from the 80s!
	6:06pm Don-O: ↳ Mr Fab @6:04 This track was from his album from 1980.
	6:06pm Dean: When "Pop Muzik" hit the charts, I was in a band with a recent 7" 45rpm release, the first on the FlipSide label. Our band's name? M, aka The Sound of M.
	6:07pm Don-O: ↳ Don-O @6:06 'The Official Secrets Act'
	6:07pm Mr Fab: ↳ Dean @6:06 Wow! You didn't send a cease-and-desist?
	♥ 6:08pm coelacanth∅: hey Don-O and crap aficionados
	6:08pm Don-O: ↳ Dean @6:06 The Continuing Adventure of Being Dean!
	6:09pm Don-O: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:08 Good hell, coelacantho.....and you can add the 'o' after this show!
	6:09pm Dean: Not so much Continuing as Repeating. I've only experienced so much, and I try to milk it for all I can.
	♥ 6:14pm coelacanth∅: in general, there's not much music i despise more than the popular music of the 1980s... only eclipsed in it's terribleness by the vast majority of popular music since then.
	♥ 6:16pm WR: Ok, finally got to the crap right from the start.
	6:18pm Don-O: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:14 It's one part grab bag, one part wrestling match and one part therapy session.
	6:19pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Make A Move On Me" by "Olivia Newton-John" If we went down the crap hole, I'd play physical.
	♥ 6:19pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Don-O @6:18 haha... i have no expectations except diversity!
	♥ 6:27pm coelacanth∅: i hated disco in general in the late 70s when all my rock artists sold out and turned to shit... but there were exceptions (i liked b.t.express) and one day part of my crew of hippiegirls dropped by after school to be shocked by the record i had on: "physical" by Olivia Newton-John. my best friend,Liz, i think was in shock; but the youngest one,Charlene who almost never spoke, defended me.
	♥ 6:27pm dale: hey now. had my ears close to the crap while eating my dinner.
	6:29pm Don-O: ↳ WR @6:16 Welcome to my pit of 80's mud! Good Luck!
	6:30pm Don-O: ↳ dale @6:27 First there was dean and now we got dale! It getting kinda crowded with this crap! Good Hello!
	6:34pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Valley Girl" by "Frank & Moon Unit Zappa" Most culturally influential release of the 20th Century? Quite possibly.
	6:34pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Valley Girl" by "Frank & Moon Unit Zappa" Ehhhh the homophobic "lyrics" haven't aged particularly well.
	♥ 6:35pm dale: ↳ Don-O @6:30 thousands more listening, but too lazy to chime in.
	6:35pm Roberto: That's right, ohhndrea.
	6:36pm Don-O: ↳ dale @6:35 ....or scared? Don't blame them.
	6:39pm Don-O: ↳ Roberto @6:34 Neither has Money For Nothing. Crazy Blind 80's.
	6:40pm Roberto: ↳ Don-O @6:39 Yeah, even Mark Knopfler agrees and won't play it anymore.
	6:41pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "I. G. Y." by "Donald Fagen" I HAVE to play this. This was a rare example of calmness for me during those days.
	6:41pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "I. G. Y." by "Donald Fagen" I worked a CRAP job in the summer of '85 where one of the other guys played this album pretty much every day.
	6:42pm Don-O: ↳ Roberto @6:40 Oh, yea. They took out that verse out for the single version.
	6:42pm Mr Fab: ↳ Roberto @6:34 yeah, but the whole idea of the song was, as Frank called it, "sociology." As someone who was there, I can def vouch for its' authenticity.
	6:42pm Roberto: ↳ Mr Fab @6:42 Dude, you don't have to tell me. Valley Boy, '74-'84 right here.
	6:43pm Don-O: ↳ Roberto @6:41 As much as I love this album, playing it every day is a bit much.
	♥ 6:43pm dale: ezekial's wheel? was steely dan into alien visitation?
	6:43pm Don-O: ↳ Mr Fab @6:42 Curious......
	6:44pm Mr Fab: ↳ Roberto @6:42 Dooood, no way! I grew up/was living in Northridge at the time. Don-o was too, at some point.
	6:45pm Roberto: ↳ Mr Fab @6:44 Studio City. A really good part!
	6:46pm Don-O: ↳ Mr Fab @6:44 Valley Guy: 1977-79. 1980. Long goofy story.
	6:47pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Pac Man" by "‘Weird Al’ Yankovic" First of many Weird Al song in this mini-series.
	6:47pm Mr Fab: Sheena's own Mike Rogers attended CSUN (as would I, later). Most totally gnarly.
	6:47pm Roberto: ↳ Mr Fab @6:47 I worked at the CSUN bookstore summer of '83.
	6:50pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Da Da Da (Don’t Love You, Don’t Love Me)" by "Trio" our high-school New Wave band covered this in the big school talent show. Got the crowd up n dancing.
	6:52pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @6:47 Three songs on the bookstore PA all day long: - Sweet Dreams - Safety Dance - Every Breath You Take (I think)
	♥ 6:53pm dale: bob is going down the river. or up the....
	6:55pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Arizona Dildo Law/Dumb All Over (live)" by "Frank... Yet again, Frank foretells the future with alarming accuracy.
	6:57pm Don-O: ↳ Roberto @6:52 It's not so much the records as the receptiveness. I fear making a play list of tunes that was played into oblivion during my time at Thrifty Drugs in the 80's/early 90s. Retail is not a place for music!!
	6:57pm Roberto: The only thing Frank was unable to foresee was the stupidity of smoking. Either that or he just didn't give no shits if he died young.
	6:59pm Don-O: ↳ Roberto @6:57 He considered smokes as food....so, oopsy!
	7:02pm Roberto: ↳ Don-O @6:59 Yup. Funny how at the time he died, he seemed old to me. Now I'm 5 years older than that.
	7:05pm Mr Fab: Well, he did release like 5 million albums. Maybe his body just gave out?
	7:06pm Roberto: ↳ Mr Fab @7:05 True, to say his oeuvre was prodigious would be an understatement.
	7:08pm Don-O: ↳ Mr Fab @7:05 I would NOT doubt that. All that nicotine and caffeine couldn't catch up.
	7:08pm Mr Fab: First time I saw Devo was their "Oh No!" tour. Probably '82 or '83? Big show at the Universal Amphitheater. The last gasp of their original popularity. Next time I saw 'em around '88 it was a considerably smaller venue.
	7:10pm Dean: One of my favorite '80s bands, Mexican Radio. Saw Devo's first(?) appearance in LA. The Whisky. Nuts.
	7:12pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Wall Of Voodoo" by "Mexican Radio" Dig that casio drum machine!
	7:13pm Mr Fab: ↳ Dean @7:10 Heck, yeah! Wall of Voodoo were so unique - cranked up drum machine, pots n pans percussion, Western/surf guitar, Stan's sardonic vox. Nothin like 'em. btw, my afore-mentioned high school New Wave band also covered Devo, and Wall of Voodoo. Real memory-lane trippin here today!
	♥ 7:14pm dale: never heard this carlin. love it.
	7:16pm Don-O: ↳ dale @7:14 This came from 'A Place For My Stuff'. His first album after he recovered from his cocaine habit.
	♥ 7:16pm dale: .....unbearable pain into extra income....
	♥ 7:16pm WR: ↳ Song: "Opening Montage" by "Tom Waits & Crystal Gayle" whoa, how did this pairing happen?
	♥ 7:17pm dale: crystal gayle. i always wanted to ull her hair. (ahem)
	7:18pm Don-O: ↳ dale @7:17 The hair so long and sexy.....ohwhatagiveaway!!
	♥ 7:19pm Kat in the chat: Joining the 80s Crap Club!
	7:19pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Opening Montage" by "Tom Waits & Crystal Gayle" One From The Heart had a weak and meandering script, but everything else was beautiful: Vegas, Teri Garr and Tom Waits music! Can't complain!
	♥ 7:20pm dale: ↳ WR @7:16 from the movie one from the heart i think.
	♥ 7:20pm dale: what don-o said.
	7:20pm Don-O: ↳ Kat in the chat @7:19 Hey, Kat!
	♥ 7:20pm WR: ↳ dale @7:20 ah, on my search list. for some reason it is not easily available.
	7:22pm Carmichael: Heya Don. My Todd radar went off, so here I am.
	7:23pm Don-O: ↳ WR @7:20 Copies from South Korea have been popping up lately. Not helping
	7:24pm Don-O: ↳ Don-O @7:23 I lost my DVD copy in that house fire. Damnit!
	7:24pm Dean: This soundtrack is lovely. I bought the LP ... in the '80s!
	♥ 7:25pm dale: never heard mister e.t. i think.
	♥ 7:26pm dale: just mr. president and mister jaws and mister other guy.
	7:26pm Don-O: ↳ Dean @7:24 Mmmmmme, too!
	7:26pm Dean: My early bands covered Kiss, Magazine, and The Emotions' (not The Eagles'!) "Best of My Love."
	7:27pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "I Had Sex With E. T." by "Barnes & Barnes" YES
	7:27pm Mr Fab: ↳ Dean @7:26 in one show?!?
	♥ 7:27pm dale: ha ha! perfect segue.
	7:29pm Dean: I so loathe Steven Spielberg's dreck. Perfect for a crap theme. Kiss and The Emotions, same band/show. Magazine, a different band that lasted half of one show, because the cops arrived. At the latter we also performed an "original" tune with lyrics in French from Jean-Paul Sartre's Les Mots.
	7:31pm Don-O: ↳ Dean @7:29 I never saw DT. though I did the ride. The ride was unintentionally funny.
	7:32pm Dean: I saw "Duel" (of course, on TV) and "Close Encounters," which tested my credulity. I gave up for good on "cinema" with Lucas and "Star Wars." What a load of vacuous hype.
	7:33pm Dean: Just to establish a baseline, I can't stand most so-called art film, either. Some, but not much. Cameras piss me off.
	7:34pm Roberto: ↳ Don-O @7:31 Dextrous Terrestrial?
	7:35pm Don-O: ↳ Roberto @7:34 In my case, yes!
	7:37pm Dean: Now Spielberg's Deliriem Tremens, that I'd watch!
	7:38pm Dean: Deliri--u--m
	7:38pm Dean: Please say you'll play some Alessi Brothers!
	7:42pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Theme From Doctor Detroit (dance mix)" by "Devo" Trust me. This record was MUCH better than the movie. I like Ackroyd, but he sucks at picking movie scripts
	♥ 7:46pm dale: i thought only ken played fred lane. such brilliance!
	♥ 7:47pm dale: icepick to the moon is hilarious.
	7:48pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Fun In The Fungus" by "Fred Lane" it's "Fun in the Fundus." Which is a whoooole other thing from 'fungus.' Hopefully.
	8:01pm Mr Fab: news flash! "The Mike Rogers show" has moved to Saturday nights, 8-10pm. With more Saturday surprises to come.
	8:02pm Carmichael: Max Von Sydow was the bad guy!
	8:02pm Mr Fab: quothe the poet: S-A T-U-R D-A-Y Night!
	8:03pm Don-O: ↳ Mr Fab @8:01 Kauhl! Something to listen to Sat Nite!
	8:03pm Androu B.: Hi, Don-O! Hi Mr. Fab! And Hello, crap-happy chappies! Just found a real gem on Discogs: https://www.discogs.com/release/17272381-Bob-Doug-McKenzie-BBC-Rock-Hour-Special-308A
	8:05pm Dean: Bay City Rollers would suffice for an Alessi Brothers track.
	♥ 8:05pm Aitch: I thought my dad would actually die laughing when I saw Meaning of L and then Every Sperm is Sacred starts up
	8:06pm Don-O: ↳ Androu B. @8:03 More Crap is discovered! Thanks, Androu B.!
	8:06pm Carmichael: My John Thomas.
	♥ 8:06pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "The Meaning Of Life?!" by "Monty Python" And good morning Crappers
	8:07pm Dean: I haven't seen TMoL, but I have died laughing multiple times watching Monty Python. Died. Literally.
	8:08pm Don-O: ↳ Aitch @8:06 Good Hell, Aitch! Enjoy the education......?
	♥ 8:08pm Aitch: ↳ Dean @8:07 you have something to do after the show then
	8:08pm Androu B.: 🎵Ev-ery sperm is sa-a-a-acred, every sperm is gre-e-e-eat! I-i-i-if a sperm is wasted, God gets quite i-ra-a-a-ate!🎵
	8:09pm Dean: Naw, see above. I can't handle film. One day I'll lighten up.
	8:10pm Carmichael: Mr. Creosote is hands down the best scene in TMoL.
	8:11pm Androu B.: ↳ Carmichael @8:10 I once responded to a FB post with a Mr. Creosote meme (of which there are many!).
	♥ 8:12pm Aitch: The silly runs deep in the Aitch clan, our family song is King Otto's Jahr Tee Buckety Ram Dim Doo.
	♥ 8:12pm dale: gonna jump offline here but keeping the crap on the speaker-ma-jig. thanks!
	8:13pm Androu B.: ↳ Song: "Secret Messages" by "Electric Light Orchestra" (We buried Paul.)
	♥ 8:13pm dale: ....and this is kinda gemini dream era moodies.
	8:15pm Don-O: ↳ dale @8:12 Later, dale!!
	8:16pm Dean: I have seen the Creosote scene, and it is splendid, and it is so overwhelmingly crass, and it manages at once to put the cinematic pretensions of wannabe artists in their place, and at the same time demonstrate precisely how it's done.
	8:18pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Stranger" by "Electric Light Orchestra" Welcome to ELO's drum machine-era!
	♥ 8:19pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Don-O @8:18 I kinda like it
	8:19pm Androu B.: I 'm waiting for one of those self-made proidiges on YT with access to AI to create an ELO cover of "Radio Gaga". It makes sense because, basically, that tune was Queen trying to be like ELO.
	8:21pm Dean: I've seen ELO live three times. They put on a terrific show.
	8:21pm Don-O: ↳ Androu B. @8:19 Someone morphed McCartney singing the demo of Evil Woman. Interesting.
	8:23pm Don-O: ↳ Dean @8:21 I've seen them once; I was in the audience for that Zoom Tour Live TV taping. Was planning to see that show in the Forum, but that got cancelled due to low ticket sales.
	8:26pm Dean: I saw them in the '70s. Opening acts (as I've recounted countless times on these boards) were Hillage, Little Feat, and Widowmaker.
	♥ 8:26pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Lawyers In Love" by "Jackson Browne" starting to feel a bit stabby now Don-O
	♥ 8:26pm Kat in the chat: Well, if you HAD to play a Jackson Browne song, might as well be this one I guess
	8:27pm Androu B.: ↳ Don-O @8:21 Coincidentally, I was recently looking back at the movie "Electric Dreams" and it's soundtrack, which, as you may know, Jeff Lynne recorded two tracks for.
	♥ 8:27pm Kat in the chat: it's 80s in the most horrifying ways
	8:28pm Dean: I like "These Days." I otherwise don't like Jackson Browne, for reasons I can't quite fathom. Maybe Meltzer skewed my impression...
	8:28pm Carmichael: Actually, you didn’t have to … 😉
	8:29pm Don-O: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:26 The video was just as bizzare....
	♥ 8:30pm Kat in the chat: I loathe Jackson Browne with the loathing reserved for someone you were super into in your teens. and then you realized they were a massive creep
	8:30pm Carmichael: I was overseas for most of the 70s, and when I returned in ‘81 I was horrified at what happened to popular music.
	8:30pm northguineahills: been, here, but studying for my monday interview...
	8:30pm Dean: The '80s stuff I relegate to crap is The Cars, Squeeze, XTC, Oingo Boingo... WFMU orthodoxy aside, very little of their shit is sufferable.
	8:31pm Don-O: ↳ Androu B. @8:27 He ended up doing three as he also did the d-side of the single Video!
	8:31pm Dean: Jackson Browne was a creep? I don't care. His music is bland.
	8:31pm Don-O: ↳ northguineahills @8:30 Good luck and thanks for stopping by, N!
	♥ 8:32pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Dean @8:31 I don't like guys who beat up their girlfriends
	8:34pm Dean: Nor I. But if his music is bland, it's bland.
	♥ 8:35pm Kat in the chat: ↳ northguineahills @8:30 best of luck on Monday ngh! can you feel your fingers yet?
	8:35pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "I Love LA" by "Randy Newman" BTW, I do remember KROQ actually played this during the 1984 Olympics.
	8:37pm northguineahills: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:35 nope..good thing a coding test isn't part of thr interview. (but my shoulder/arm/neck/back are much more manageable)
	8:38pm Dean: The 1984 Olympics in LA was a time of bliss and wonder. Locals got the hell out of town, and those of us who remained got to enjoy so much of LA's art scene, perfectly displayed during the Arts Festival.
	8:39pm Don-O: ↳ Dean @8:38 Wasn't bad at all, unless you were waiting for the bus that pasted the Olympic park. Hours of waiting...
	8:40pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @8:34 i agree w/ dean on something not classical music related? where's my drugs?
	8:42pm Dean: C'mon. I'm not unreasonable.
	8:44pm Dean: Once, and only once, I took buses from Whittier to Westwood. Good goddamn, do you realize how much time that consumes?! Four effing hours.
	8:46pm Androu B.: ↳ Song: "Bowling/Rachel" by "Steven Wright" Where has this guy been all this time (since his guest shot on Curb Your Enthusiasm, that is)?
	8:48pm Dean: My kids love his bit about the dog named Stay, and rightly so.
	8:51pm Androu B.: ↳ Song: "Slipping Away" by "Dave Edmunds" Just plain forgot that Jeff Lynne produced for this guy!
	♥ 8:52pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Androu B. @8:51 I forgot all about this one too!
	8:52pm Don-O: ↳ Androu B. @8:51 More of that drum machine madness!
	♥ 8:53pm Kat in the chat: This one sounds good to me too. I definitely like some of this Crap!
	8:55pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Koyaanisqutsi" by "Phillip Glass" .....and now for some pretensions crap to close out this show.
	8:55pm Listener Robert: I prefer "Einstein on the Fritz", with its "Coy hotsy-totsie" line.
	8:56pm Don-O: My thanks to all for putting up with this 90s crap more of this mess next week....maybe that all early Negativland show, see what happens....
	8:57pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Koyaanisqutsi" by "Phillip Glass" Sing-A-Long, everybody! DOOdooDOOdooDOOdooDEEdeeDEEdeeDee.....
	♥ 8:57pm Kat in the chat: As long as it's not three hours of Jackson Browne, I'll likely show up for it, unless I leave the house or something.
	♥ 8:57pm Kat in the chat: I was supposed to go to a thing with humans tonight but it's hot and I'm lazy.
	♥ 8:58pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Theme From The Big 10-8 Place" by "Negativland" I'd love to sneak this into a dance set sometime
	♥ 8:59pm Aitch: Thanks Don-O
	8:59pm Don-O: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:57 I'm too lazy to go get some nachos.....
	9:00pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Theme From The Big 10-8 Place" by "Negativland" It ain't crap until the Weatherman sings.
	♥ 9:00pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Don-O @8:59 Aw c'mon, I walked a couple blocks to get fries right when your show was starting. You can have nachos, Don!
	9:00pm Androu B.: ↳ Song: "Koyaanisqutsi" by "Phillip Glass" This is one of those arthouse films that Fabio over on the mothership recommends to his listeners. I saw it and the sequels recently and was absolutely awed by all of them! Thanks, Don-O!
	♥ 9:01pm Kat in the chat: time to see what terrible is happening on the broken radio...

	6:03pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Transmission" by "M" Hey D-O! Wait, is this that "Pop Muzik" guy?
	6:04pm Don-O: ↳ Mr Fab @6:03 Yup!
	6:04pm Mr Fab: ↳ Don-O @6:04 he had another song?!?
	6:04pm Don-O: ↳ Don-O @6:04 Oh, and good hell from the 80s!
	6:06pm Don-O: ↳ Mr Fab @6:04 This track was from his album from 1980.
	6:06pm Dean: When "Pop Muzik" hit the charts, I was in a band with a recent 7" 45rpm release, the first on the FlipSide label. Our band's name? M, aka The Sound of M.
	6:07pm Don-O: ↳ Don-O @6:06 'The Official Secrets Act'
	6:07pm Mr Fab: ↳ Dean @6:06 Wow! You didn't send a cease-and-desist?
	♥ 6:08pm coelacanth∅: hey Don-O and crap aficionados
	6:08pm Don-O: ↳ Dean @6:06 The Continuing Adventure of Being Dean!
	6:09pm Don-O: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:08 Good hell, coelacantho.....and you can add the 'o' after this show!
	6:09pm Dean: Not so much Continuing as Repeating. I've only experienced so much, and I try to milk it for all I can.
	♥ 6:14pm coelacanth∅: in general, there's not much music i despise more than the popular music of the 1980s... only eclipsed in it's terribleness by the vast majority of popular music since then.
	♥ 6:16pm WR: Ok, finally got to the crap right from the start.
	6:18pm Don-O: ↳ coelacanth∅ @6:14 It's one part grab bag, one part wrestling match and one part therapy session.
	6:19pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Make A Move On Me" by "Olivia Newton-John" If we went down the crap hole, I'd play physical.
	♥ 6:19pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Don-O @6:18 haha... i have no expectations except diversity!
	♥ 6:27pm coelacanth∅: i hated disco in general in the late 70s when all my rock artists sold out and turned to shit... but there were exceptions (i liked b.t.express) and one day part of my crew of hippiegirls dropped by after school to be shocked by the record i had on: "physical" by Olivia Newton-John. my best friend,Liz, i think was in shock; but the youngest one,Charlene who almost never spoke, defended me.
	♥ 6:27pm dale: hey now. had my ears close to the crap while eating my dinner.
	6:29pm Don-O: ↳ WR @6:16 Welcome to my pit of 80's mud! Good Luck!
	6:30pm Don-O: ↳ dale @6:27 First there was dean and now we got dale! It getting kinda crowded with this crap! Good Hello!
	6:34pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Valley Girl" by "Frank & Moon Unit Zappa" Most culturally influential release of the 20th Century? Quite possibly.
	6:34pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Valley Girl" by "Frank & Moon Unit Zappa" Ehhhh the homophobic "lyrics" haven't aged particularly well.
	♥ 6:35pm dale: ↳ Don-O @6:30 thousands more listening, but too lazy to chime in.
	6:35pm Roberto: That's right, ohhndrea.
	6:36pm Don-O: ↳ dale @6:35 ....or scared? Don't blame them.
	6:39pm Don-O: ↳ Roberto @6:34 Neither has Money For Nothing. Crazy Blind 80's.
	6:40pm Roberto: ↳ Don-O @6:39 Yeah, even Mark Knopfler agrees and won't play it anymore.
	6:41pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "I. G. Y." by "Donald Fagen" I HAVE to play this. This was a rare example of calmness for me during those days.
	6:41pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "I. G. Y." by "Donald Fagen" I worked a CRAP job in the summer of '85 where one of the other guys played this album pretty much every day.
	6:42pm Don-O: ↳ Roberto @6:40 Oh, yea. They took out that verse out for the single version.
	6:42pm Mr Fab: ↳ Roberto @6:34 yeah, but the whole idea of the song was, as Frank called it, "sociology." As someone who was there, I can def vouch for its' authenticity.
	6:42pm Roberto: ↳ Mr Fab @6:42 Dude, you don't have to tell me. Valley Boy, '74-'84 right here.
	6:43pm Don-O: ↳ Roberto @6:41 As much as I love this album, playing it every day is a bit much.
	♥ 6:43pm dale: ezekial's wheel? was steely dan into alien visitation?
	6:43pm Don-O: ↳ Mr Fab @6:42 Curious......
	6:44pm Mr Fab: ↳ Roberto @6:42 Dooood, no way! I grew up/was living in Northridge at the time. Don-o was too, at some point.
	6:45pm Roberto: ↳ Mr Fab @6:44 Studio City. A really good part!
	6:46pm Don-O: ↳ Mr Fab @6:44 Valley Guy: 1977-79. 1980. Long goofy story.
	6:47pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Pac Man" by "‘Weird Al’ Yankovic" First of many Weird Al song in this mini-series.
	6:47pm Mr Fab: Sheena's own Mike Rogers attended CSUN (as would I, later). Most totally gnarly.
	6:47pm Roberto: ↳ Mr Fab @6:47 I worked at the CSUN bookstore summer of '83.
	6:50pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Da Da Da (Don’t Love You, Don’t Love Me)" by "Trio" our high-school New Wave band covered this in the big school talent show. Got the crowd up n dancing.
	6:52pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @6:47 Three songs on the bookstore PA all day long: - Sweet Dreams - Safety Dance - Every Breath You Take (I think)
	♥ 6:53pm dale: bob is going down the river. or up the....
	6:55pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Arizona Dildo Law/Dumb All Over (live)" by "Frank... Yet again, Frank foretells the future with alarming accuracy.
	6:57pm Don-O: ↳ Roberto @6:52 It's not so much the records as the receptiveness. I fear making a play list of tunes that was played into oblivion during my time at Thrifty Drugs in the 80's/early 90s. Retail is not a place for music!!
	6:57pm Roberto: The only thing Frank was unable to foresee was the stupidity of smoking. Either that or he just didn't give no shits if he died young.
	6:59pm Don-O: ↳ Roberto @6:57 He considered smokes as food....so, oopsy!
	7:02pm Roberto: ↳ Don-O @6:59 Yup. Funny how at the time he died, he seemed old to me. Now I'm 5 years older than that.
	7:05pm Mr Fab: Well, he did release like 5 million albums. Maybe his body just gave out?
	7:06pm Roberto: ↳ Mr Fab @7:05 True, to say his oeuvre was prodigious would be an understatement.
	7:08pm Don-O: ↳ Mr Fab @7:05 I would NOT doubt that. All that nicotine and caffeine couldn't catch up.
	7:08pm Mr Fab: First time I saw Devo was their "Oh No!" tour. Probably '82 or '83? Big show at the Universal Amphitheater. The last gasp of their original popularity. Next time I saw 'em around '88 it was a considerably smaller venue.
	7:10pm Dean: One of my favorite '80s bands, Mexican Radio. Saw Devo's first(?) appearance in LA. The Whisky. Nuts.
	7:12pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Wall Of Voodoo" by "Mexican Radio" Dig that casio drum machine!
	7:13pm Mr Fab: ↳ Dean @7:10 Heck, yeah! Wall of Voodoo were so unique - cranked up drum machine, pots n pans percussion, Western/surf guitar, Stan's sardonic vox. Nothin like 'em. btw, my afore-mentioned high school New Wave band also covered Devo, and Wall of Voodoo. Real memory-lane trippin here today!
	♥ 7:14pm dale: never heard this carlin. love it.
	7:16pm Don-O: ↳ dale @7:14 This came from 'A Place For My Stuff'. His first album after he recovered from his cocaine habit.
	♥ 7:16pm dale: .....unbearable pain into extra income....
	♥ 7:16pm WR: ↳ Song: "Opening Montage" by "Tom Waits & Crystal Gayle" whoa, how did this pairing happen?
	♥ 7:17pm dale: crystal gayle. i always wanted to ull her hair. (ahem)
	7:18pm Don-O: ↳ dale @7:17 The hair so long and sexy.....ohwhatagiveaway!!
	♥ 7:19pm Kat in the chat: Joining the 80s Crap Club!
	7:19pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Opening Montage" by "Tom Waits & Crystal Gayle" One From The Heart had a weak and meandering script, but everything else was beautiful: Vegas, Teri Garr and Tom Waits music! Can't complain!
	♥ 7:20pm dale: ↳ WR @7:16 from the movie one from the heart i think.
	♥ 7:20pm dale: what don-o said.
	7:20pm Don-O: ↳ Kat in the chat @7:19 Hey, Kat!
	♥ 7:20pm WR: ↳ dale @7:20 ah, on my search list. for some reason it is not easily available.
	7:22pm Carmichael: Heya Don. My Todd radar went off, so here I am.
	7:23pm Don-O: ↳ WR @7:20 Copies from South Korea have been popping up lately. Not helping
	7:24pm Don-O: ↳ Don-O @7:23 I lost my DVD copy in that house fire. Damnit!
	7:24pm Dean: This soundtrack is lovely. I bought the LP ... in the '80s!
	♥ 7:25pm dale: never heard mister e.t. i think.
	♥ 7:26pm dale: just mr. president and mister jaws and mister other guy.
	7:26pm Don-O: ↳ Dean @7:24 Mmmmmme, too!
	7:26pm Dean: My early bands covered Kiss, Magazine, and The Emotions' (not The Eagles'!) "Best of My Love."
	7:27pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "I Had Sex With E. T." by "Barnes & Barnes" YES
	7:27pm Mr Fab: ↳ Dean @7:26 in one show?!?
	♥ 7:27pm dale: ha ha! perfect segue.
	7:29pm Dean: I so loathe Steven Spielberg's dreck. Perfect for a crap theme. Kiss and The Emotions, same band/show. Magazine, a different band that lasted half of one show, because the cops arrived. At the latter we also performed an "original" tune with lyrics in French from Jean-Paul Sartre's Les Mots.
	7:31pm Don-O: ↳ Dean @7:29 I never saw DT. though I did the ride. The ride was unintentionally funny.
	7:32pm Dean: I saw "Duel" (of course, on TV) and "Close Encounters," which tested my credulity. I gave up for good on "cinema" with Lucas and "Star Wars." What a load of vacuous hype.
	7:33pm Dean: Just to establish a baseline, I can't stand most so-called art film, either. Some, but not much. Cameras piss me off.
	7:34pm Roberto: ↳ Don-O @7:31 Dextrous Terrestrial?
	7:35pm Don-O: ↳ Roberto @7:34 In my case, yes!
	7:37pm Dean: Now Spielberg's Deliriem Tremens, that I'd watch!
	7:38pm Dean: Deliri--u--m
	7:38pm Dean: Please say you'll play some Alessi Brothers!
	7:42pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Theme From Doctor Detroit (dance mix)" by "Devo" Trust me. This record was MUCH better than the movie. I like Ackroyd, but he sucks at picking movie scripts
	♥ 7:46pm dale: i thought only ken played fred lane. such brilliance!
	♥ 7:47pm dale: icepick to the moon is hilarious.
	7:48pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Fun In The Fungus" by "Fred Lane" it's "Fun in the Fundus." Which is a whoooole other thing from 'fungus.' Hopefully.
	8:01pm Mr Fab: news flash! "The Mike Rogers show" has moved to Saturday nights, 8-10pm. With more Saturday surprises to come.
	8:02pm Carmichael: Max Von Sydow was the bad guy!
	8:02pm Mr Fab: quothe the poet: S-A T-U-R D-A-Y Night!
	8:03pm Don-O: ↳ Mr Fab @8:01 Kauhl! Something to listen to Sat Nite!
	8:03pm Androu B.: Hi, Don-O! Hi Mr. Fab! And Hello, crap-happy chappies! Just found a real gem on Discogs: https://www.discogs.com/release/17272381-Bob-Doug-McKenzie-BBC-Rock-Hour-Special-308A
	8:05pm Dean: Bay City Rollers would suffice for an Alessi Brothers track.
	♥ 8:05pm Aitch: I thought my dad would actually die laughing when I saw Meaning of L and then Every Sperm is Sacred starts up
	8:06pm Don-O: ↳ Androu B. @8:03 More Crap is discovered! Thanks, Androu B.!
	8:06pm Carmichael: My John Thomas.
	♥ 8:06pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "The Meaning Of Life?!" by "Monty Python" And good morning Crappers
	8:07pm Dean: I haven't seen TMoL, but I have died laughing multiple times watching Monty Python. Died. Literally.
	8:08pm Don-O: ↳ Aitch @8:06 Good Hell, Aitch! Enjoy the education......?
	♥ 8:08pm Aitch: ↳ Dean @8:07 you have something to do after the show then
	8:08pm Androu B.: 🎵Ev-ery sperm is sa-a-a-acred, every sperm is gre-e-e-eat! I-i-i-if a sperm is wasted, God gets quite i-ra-a-a-ate!🎵
	8:09pm Dean: Naw, see above. I can't handle film. One day I'll lighten up.
	8:10pm Carmichael: Mr. Creosote is hands down the best scene in TMoL.
	8:11pm Androu B.: ↳ Carmichael @8:10 I once responded to a FB post with a Mr. Creosote meme (of which there are many!).
	♥ 8:12pm Aitch: The silly runs deep in the Aitch clan, our family song is King Otto's Jahr Tee Buckety Ram Dim Doo.
	♥ 8:12pm dale: gonna jump offline here but keeping the crap on the speaker-ma-jig. thanks!
	8:13pm Androu B.: ↳ Song: "Secret Messages" by "Electric Light Orchestra" (We buried Paul.)
	♥ 8:13pm dale: ....and this is kinda gemini dream era moodies.
	8:15pm Don-O: ↳ dale @8:12 Later, dale!!
	8:16pm Dean: I have seen the Creosote scene, and it is splendid, and it is so overwhelmingly crass, and it manages at once to put the cinematic pretensions of wannabe artists in their place, and at the same time demonstrate precisely how it's done.
	8:18pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Stranger" by "Electric Light Orchestra" Welcome to ELO's drum machine-era!
	♥ 8:19pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Don-O @8:18 I kinda like it
	8:19pm Androu B.: I 'm waiting for one of those self-made proidiges on YT with access to AI to create an ELO cover of "Radio Gaga". It makes sense because, basically, that tune was Queen trying to be like ELO.
	8:21pm Dean: I've seen ELO live three times. They put on a terrific show.
	8:21pm Don-O: ↳ Androu B. @8:19 Someone morphed McCartney singing the demo of Evil Woman. Interesting.
	8:23pm Don-O: ↳ Dean @8:21 I've seen them once; I was in the audience for that Zoom Tour Live TV taping. Was planning to see that show in the Forum, but that got cancelled due to low ticket sales.
	8:26pm Dean: I saw them in the '70s. Opening acts (as I've recounted countless times on these boards) were Hillage, Little Feat, and Widowmaker.
	♥ 8:26pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Lawyers In Love" by "Jackson Browne" starting to feel a bit stabby now Don-O
	♥ 8:26pm Kat in the chat: Well, if you HAD to play a Jackson Browne song, might as well be this one I guess
	8:27pm Androu B.: ↳ Don-O @8:21 Coincidentally, I was recently looking back at the movie "Electric Dreams" and it's soundtrack, which, as you may know, Jeff Lynne recorded two tracks for.
	♥ 8:27pm Kat in the chat: it's 80s in the most horrifying ways
	8:28pm Dean: I like "These Days." I otherwise don't like Jackson Browne, for reasons I can't quite fathom. Maybe Meltzer skewed my impression...
	8:28pm Carmichael: Actually, you didn’t have to … 😉
	8:29pm Don-O: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:26 The video was just as bizzare....
	♥ 8:30pm Kat in the chat: I loathe Jackson Browne with the loathing reserved for someone you were super into in your teens. and then you realized they were a massive creep
	8:30pm Carmichael: I was overseas for most of the 70s, and when I returned in ‘81 I was horrified at what happened to popular music.
	8:30pm northguineahills: been, here, but studying for my monday interview...
	8:30pm Dean: The '80s stuff I relegate to crap is The Cars, Squeeze, XTC, Oingo Boingo... WFMU orthodoxy aside, very little of their shit is sufferable.
	8:31pm Don-O: ↳ Androu B. @8:27 He ended up doing three as he also did the d-side of the single Video!
	8:31pm Dean: Jackson Browne was a creep? I don't care. His music is bland.
	8:31pm Don-O: ↳ northguineahills @8:30 Good luck and thanks for stopping by, N!
	♥ 8:32pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Dean @8:31 I don't like guys who beat up their girlfriends
	8:34pm Dean: Nor I. But if his music is bland, it's bland.
	♥ 8:35pm Kat in the chat: ↳ northguineahills @8:30 best of luck on Monday ngh! can you feel your fingers yet?
	8:35pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "I Love LA" by "Randy Newman" BTW, I do remember KROQ actually played this during the 1984 Olympics.
	8:37pm northguineahills: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:35 nope..good thing a coding test isn't part of thr interview. (but my shoulder/arm/neck/back are much more manageable)
	8:38pm Dean: The 1984 Olympics in LA was a time of bliss and wonder. Locals got the hell out of town, and those of us who remained got to enjoy so much of LA's art scene, perfectly displayed during the Arts Festival.
	8:39pm Don-O: ↳ Dean @8:38 Wasn't bad at all, unless you were waiting for the bus that pasted the Olympic park. Hours of waiting...
	8:40pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @8:34 i agree w/ dean on something not classical music related? where's my drugs?
	8:42pm Dean: C'mon. I'm not unreasonable.
	8:44pm Dean: Once, and only once, I took buses from Whittier to Westwood. Good goddamn, do you realize how much time that consumes?! Four effing hours.
	8:46pm Androu B.: ↳ Song: "Bowling/Rachel" by "Steven Wright" Where has this guy been all this time (since his guest shot on Curb Your Enthusiasm, that is)?
	8:48pm Dean: My kids love his bit about the dog named Stay, and rightly so.
	8:51pm Androu B.: ↳ Song: "Slipping Away" by "Dave Edmunds" Just plain forgot that Jeff Lynne produced for this guy!
	♥ 8:52pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Androu B. @8:51 I forgot all about this one too!
	8:52pm Don-O: ↳ Androu B. @8:51 More of that drum machine madness!
	♥ 8:53pm Kat in the chat: This one sounds good to me too. I definitely like some of this Crap!
	8:55pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Koyaanisqutsi" by "Phillip Glass" .....and now for some pretensions crap to close out this show.
	8:55pm Listener Robert: I prefer "Einstein on the Fritz", with its "Coy hotsy-totsie" line.
	8:56pm Don-O: My thanks to all for putting up with this 90s crap more of this mess next week....maybe that all early Negativland show, see what happens....
	8:57pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Koyaanisqutsi" by "Phillip Glass" Sing-A-Long, everybody! DOOdooDOOdooDOOdooDEEdeeDEEdeeDee.....
	♥ 8:57pm Kat in the chat: As long as it's not three hours of Jackson Browne, I'll likely show up for it, unless I leave the house or something.
	♥ 8:57pm Kat in the chat: I was supposed to go to a thing with humans tonight but it's hot and I'm lazy.
	♥ 8:58pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Theme From The Big 10-8 Place" by "Negativland" I'd love to sneak this into a dance set sometime
	♥ 8:59pm Aitch: Thanks Don-O
	8:59pm Don-O: ↳ Kat in the chat @8:57 I'm too lazy to go get some nachos.....
	9:00pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "Theme From The Big 10-8 Place" by "Negativland" It ain't crap until the Weatherman sings.
	♥ 9:00pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Don-O @8:59 Aw c'mon, I walked a couple blocks to get fries right when your show was starting. You can have nachos, Don!
	9:00pm Androu B.: ↳ Song: "Koyaanisqutsi" by "Phillip Glass" This is one of those arthouse films that Fabio over on the mothership recommends to his listeners. I saw it and the sequels recently and was absolutely awed by all of them! Thanks, Don-O!
	♥ 9:01pm Kat in the chat: time to see what terrible is happening on the broken radio...
