Listener comments!
	🥁 9:00pm Aitch: Earwigs or Headworms?
	9:00pm ultradamno: Rich! Breaker-Breakers!
	9:01pm Robm: ↳ Aitch @9:00 or headaches:)
	9:02pm pot8o: hi everyone!
	🥁 9:02pm Kat in the chat: Earache my eye!
	9:03pm Robm: howdy fellow listeners
	9:04pm Androu B.: Has something terrible happened? Hi Rich! To paraphrase the Dunkin Donuts guy: Time to fix the radio!
	9:05pm Rich in Washington: Hi everyone! Got really behind on my start!
	🥁 9:06pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Sharkey's Night" by "Laurie Anderson w/ William B... No apologies needed!
	9:06pm Robm: did anyone listen to mona today? very good show
	9:08pm ultradamno: Messer Chups summer tour dates mastodon.social...
	🥁 9:08pm Kat in the chat: LOL it's the Mea Culpa Hour with Rich
	9:09pm Rich in Washington: I'm sorry
	9:09pm Androu B.: Oh yes, terrible news about Tom Brokaw's current health status. Death pool is already on. (I usually don't partake in such things anymore. But I did once the week Bowie passed away, and sadly, I won one of my bets for that year.)
	🥁 9:10pm Kat in the chat: That cover and this track wouldn't have been out of place on Don-O's show tonight
	9:11pm Dean: Brokaw is dead? Good.
	🥁 9:11pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Snack Attack" by "Godley & Creme" Should have been covered by Shakatak
	🥁 9:12pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Aitch @9:11 Or possibly Shriekback
	9:12pm adamdoesit: Hi Rich, Big Macs, Quarter Pounders, hamburgers, cheeseburgers, and Fillets-o-Fish.
	9:12pm Robm: ↳ Dean @9:11 Dean why is that good?
	9:12pm Androu B.: ↳ Song: "Snack Attack" by "Godley & Creme" Funny that it has a similar theme to Blondie's "Rapture", which came out the following year.
	9:13pm ultradamno: ↳ Robm @9:12 Why would you feed the troll?
	9:13pm Rich in Washington: the radio is brokaw
	9:14pm Rich in Washington: Hi everyone! Busy mixin' and such. Not ignoring anybody. We are sorry.
	9:15pm Rich in Washington: I forgot about the slow speed up of this record and thought something was wrong with my turntable. I ALWAYS forget about this. I am sorry.
	9:17pm Robm: ↳ ultradamno @9:13 i was just shocked thats all i normally don’t give them the time of day
	9:19pm coelacanth∅: 'evening Rich and all
	9:19pm Androu B.: ↳ Song: "Battery Brides (Andy Paints Brian)" by "XTC" The late, great FXO used to play a sped-up & looped version of this for his backing theme during the next-to-last on-air break of his show.
	9:20pm Dean: I bought that XTC Go 2 upon release. I gave it up a decade later. It's okay.
	🥁 9:21pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Hello Sandy Allen" by "Split Enz" This is wonderful, how have I never heard it? A song for Sandy Allen and a damn catchy one too.
	9:24pm Rich in Washington: Hi coel! Hi Kat! Hi Androu! Hi Dean! Hi Robm! Hi ultradamno! Hi Aitch! Hi anyone I may have missed! I am sorry!
	9:25pm Robm: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:21 never heard of sandy allen, guess i better do a deep dive into that Hi RIch
	9:27pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "The Golden Hours" by "Brian Eno" there's another one?
	9:27pm ultradamno: ↳ Robm @9:25 The world's tallest woman en.wikipedia.org...
	🥁 9:27pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "The Golden Hours" by "Brian Eno" and the hits just keep on coming
	9:28pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @9:27 monas show was great today
	9:29pm pot8o: ↳ ultradamno @9:27 "Allen never married, saying that she was "an oldfashioned [sic] girl" and would not date a man shorter than her."
	9:29pm pot8o: i had something witty to say about that but i forgot it
	9:29pm Dean: Checking upwards...why is it good that Brokaw is no more? He was pro-war, pro-establishment for his entire career. His devotion to real journalism was nonexistent. He was a propagandist, and he knew as much, but he wanted to believe his work was honorable. Yet it was not. "Feed the troll"...I'm a troll? I am a contrarion, but not (intentionally) a troll. I wish folks wouldn't automatically assume that their views of the world were accurate.
	9:29pm Rich in Washington: Are there any songs about Robert Waldo?
	9:30pm Robm: ↳ ultradamno @9:27 thanks ultra, really did not know
	9:30pm Dean: Anyway, is that motherfucker in fact dead?
	🥁 9:30pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:29 Wadlow? Not that I know of. They're both from Illinois, that's odd
	9:31pm Webhamster Henry: Go ahead, abuse that Optigan...
	9:32pm ultradamno: Man...you could that as a textbook example of what trolling is and you know it.
	9:32pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:29 found one by "Bottled by Fools", surprised Sufjan Stevens hasn't made one, would be right up his alley
	9:33pm Androu B.: ↳ Dean @9:30 No, but according to his doctor, his time is officially short, so he'll be on his way out in a matter of weeks.
	9:35pm northguineahills: ↳ Robm @9:28 'tis it was, and will always be!
	9:35pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @9:29 concerns dutifully noted
	9:36pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "He Walks Alone" by "Cows" hadn't heard this since the bodevine daze...
	9:36pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @9:32 ...could *cite, that is
	9:37pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @9:35 it was one of those shows where there was a lot if love in the chat too
	9:39pm Androu B.: ↳ Androu B. @9:33 I actually meant to say "He COULD be on his way out in a matter of weeks". Not trying to imply that I have any inside info on the matter. (I am sorry.)
	9:39pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @9:36 I dig The Cows
	🥁 9:41pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Jesus Built My Hotrod" by "Ministry" Dang
	9:41pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Dean @9:29 one random has-been piece of shit like brokaw checking out wont make the world any better. sure, one less mouth to feed but at 83 he was overdue.
	9:42pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:39 Me too, it's been almost two decades since I've heard them..
	9:43pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @9:42 been doing this deep dive into that era's scuzz rock, Noise rock, etc. Don't know how I missed some of these bands first time around. Guess they didn't come to my town much?
	🥁 9:45pm Kat in the chat: Nice transition there Rich
	9:45pm ultradamno: Oh, let's join in celebrating blood cancer
	9:45pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:43 I was too young at the time, but read about them in zines. By 99-00, I started picking up records of such bands...
	9:45pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:45 I been practicin'!
	9:46pm coelacanth∅: ↳ ultradamno @9:45 juvenile of you to say that
	9:46pm ultradamno: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:46 Oh...fuck you.
	9:47pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:46 is he wrong?
	9:47pm northguineahills: ↳ ultradamno @9:46 ok, let chilldaddle this....
	9:47pm coelacanth∅: ↳ northguineahills @9:47 completely.
	9:48pm Rich in Washington: <Dad voice>:If I have to TURN THIS SHOW AROUND!
	9:48pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Fuck You Up And Get High" by "Dwarves" an album as a youth I never had to guts to pick up, sounds great!
	9:49pm coelacanth∅: blood cancer has nothing to do with opinions about a particular person.
	9:49pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Fuck You Up And Get High" by "Dwarves" didn't some televangelist throw a fit about this cover way back when? might be misremembering
	9:49pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @9:49 Really? WHy?
	9:50pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:49 there are choicier trees to piss upon...
	9:51pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:49 because anything even resembling fun is a sin apparently
	9:51pm ultradamno: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:49 Whose sickness you find worthy of celebrating...
	9:52pm coelacanth∅: ↳ northguineahills @9:50 that's exactly what i was saying. who cares if tom brokaw's dead or not.
	9:52pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "In The Kingdom #19" by "Sonic Youth" ok, i haven never heard this played on wfmu, before, bravo, rich!
	9:52pm coelacanth∅: ↳ ultradamno @9:51 also exactly opposite of anything i said.
	9:53pm ultradamno: This started because someone cared, as I recalled and was trolled.
	9:53pm northguineahills: err, haven't (can't wait until I regain feeling in my left hand so I can type better).
	9:53pm ultradamno: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:52 No. Leg. To. Stand. On.
	9:54pm Robm: ok guys just lets all take a deep breath and chill
	9:55pm coelacanth∅: that's not trolling. if donald trump died and someone expressed sorrow in the comments many would say "good" and you would not call it trolling.
	9:55pm coelacanth∅: ↳ ultradamno @9:53 somehow i always thought you were older than 14 years.
	9:55pm ultradamno: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:55 Yes, it would be. Classicly.
	9:55pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @9:52 too bad kim and thurston imploded, sonic youth was a great group
	9:56pm ike-o: Peace and greetings. Thanks for a fun show
	9:56pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ike-o @9:56 Ike-O!
	9:56pm ultradamno: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:55 I'm not the one acting like a newscaster is Putin or Hitler
	🥁 9:57pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Why Do People Have To Fight?" by "Herve Villechaize" "WHY" indeed
	🥁 9:57pm Aitch: ↳ ultradamno @9:56 putin on the hits?
	9:57pm coelacanth∅: anyone who supports putin or hitler is worthy of scorn.
	9:58pm coelacanth∅: i'm sorry Rich.
	9:58pm ultradamno: And how this has progressed demonstrates how it was trolling in the place.
	10:02pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Ant Poems!" by "Monty Python's Flying Circus" This was I think the only Monty Python show that was basically one sketch.
	10:03pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:02 For some reason they adopted this weird longform format for Season 4.
	🥁 10:04pm Kat in the chat: ha I saw this new Menche in my emails. I have oh so much Bandcamping to catch up on
	🥁 10:05pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:03 I've been meaning to go back over Spike's Q's. Utterly bonkers
	10:05pm pot8o: never expected anthills to sound so good
	10:07pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:04 Me too! I need to sell a kidney to clear out my wishlist and download it all.
	🥁 10:07pm Kat in the chat: the real Antmusic right here
	10:07pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Thatch" by "Daniel Menche" Portland's finest!
	10:07pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:07 LOL!
	🥁 10:08pm Aitch: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:07 even if you like it, you're still anti
	10:08pm northguineahills: (he appears on dan'l blumin's chatboard from time to time)
	🥁 10:08pm Kat in the chat: unplug the jukebox, get out the contact mics
	10:09pm northguineahills: ↳ Aitch @10:08 how philosophical, "ant-i"
	🥁 10:09pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Aitch @10:08 haha Aitch!
	10:09pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @10:08 yeah. He's a big WFMU fan.
	10:10pm pot8o: ↳ northguineahills @10:08 what's his username? curious as to whether I've talked to him before 🤔
	🥁 10:10pm Kat in the chat: ↳ pot8o @10:10 I think he just signs in under his own name
	10:10pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @10:10 Probably just his name but I don't think he signs in. He's popped into my Sheena show a few times.
	10:10pm Tree life: enjoying your work, Rich
	10:11pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:10 jinxs!
	10:11pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Tree life @10:10 Thanks, Tree life! That's mighty kind of you to say!
	10:12pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:10 so probably not then
	10:12pm Rich in Washington: This is fun for me because the place I grew up in had gigantic anthills in the woods. They'd just take over a stump and would be several feet tall with millions of ants.
	10:14pm northguineahills: ↳ pot8o @10:10 his given name...
	🥁 10:14pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:11 yeah I guess he does the math problem every time
	10:14pm northguineahills: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:10 what kat from chicago said.. 😜
	🥁 10:15pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:12 was that scary or cool or just normal to you?
	10:15pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Thatch" by "Daniel Menche" B-side: termite hills! from my Imaginary Sound Events of 2018: Termite Mound Sounds Termitology (Subterranean 2018) Termite mounds are actually the junk heaps of dirt the industrious bugs haul out of the ground while digging their cities. Millions of tiny legs and feelers are involved, and movement makes sound. Termites make a tapping noise when agitated, so our intrepid researchers at Termitology agitated some termites to come up with these rhythm tracks.
	🥁 10:15pm Kat in the chat: ooh these go well together
	10:16pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:15 Normal but if you stood in one place for too long you'd have ants crawling up your legs.
	10:18pm Rich in Washington: Phase IV is an excellent example of an insect fear film and I really recommend it. Directed by Saul Bass, a name usually associated with graphic design and film title design.
	10:19pm northguineahills: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:15 "kat has ants in her pants!" 🐜🐈👖
	10:20pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:18 A nice rundown of his titles www.artofthetitle.com...
	🥁 10:20pm Kat in the chat: ↳ northguineahills @10:19 nope but it sounds like a young Rich might've
	10:20pm pot8o: there's a steve roden piece where he stuck a mic in an anthill and ran it through a bunch of filters but i can't seem to find it again
	10:22pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @10:20 That's the stuff!
	10:27pm Androu B.: ↳ Song: "Phase I" by "Brian Gascoigne & David Briscoe" Wow, I was just about to say that this reminded me of a certain film I'd heard about through MST3K! It was fetaured during the series' freshman season ("Season 0") when the show was aired on KTMA in Minneapolis.
	10:29pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "I Am Sitting In A Room (excerpts)" by "Alvin Lucier" I am sitting on an anthill.
	10:29pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:29 YOW! Hopefully not red ants!
	10:30pm northguineahills: ↳ ultradamno @10:20 thanks!
	10:30pm northguineahills: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:29 🤣🤣🤣
	10:30pm Androu B.: ↳ Androu B. @10:27 In reference to the Menche track played earlier.
	🥁 10:30pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:29 I think you won chat tonight
	10:33pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:29 That's when you know it's become a real kink
	10:34pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Androu B. @10:30 I think they DID do Phase IV during their KTMA days! I've seen it, although the quality of the video I saw of it was horrible. I quite liked their first season. it was a bit rough but really entertaining.
	10:34pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:30 Aww. I did "I am sitting in a Zoom" for Lucier's 90th.
	10:34pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:34 Oh wow. Did you record that?
	10:36pm Rich in Washington: My first ever 'appearance' on WFMU was submitting a parody of 'Room' to Kenny G's show. It was part of the inauguration poem jam a bunch of listeners did.
	10:36pm northguineahills: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:34 better that than a broom...
	🥁 10:38pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:34 wow
	10:41pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "I Am Sitting In A Room (excerpts - played backwar... @rich: menso!
	10:42pm Androu B.: Another movie I was thinking about tonight during Don-O's show was "Scanners". First time I saw it was back in the early '00's. Made such an impression on me after watching docus focusing on persons gifted with the power of telepathy & telekinesis.
	10:44pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Androu B. @10:42 I love all of Cronenberg's Toronto era output. I've actually sort of lost track of him except for Crimes Of The Future, which I rather enjoyed.
	10:44pm ultradamno: Probably the exploding head movie referred to by Stereolab/NWW
	10:45pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @10:44 I am sure.
	10:46pm northguineahills: ↳ ultradamno @10:44 that one!
	10:48pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:36 I also made a "IASIAR" app, for all your room sitting needs. jhhl.net...
	10:48pm ultradamno: He appeared on the recent season of Slasher as the father that sets up the death traps, kind of the part he was born to play. I liked Eastern Promises, far from his cult peak, but well done. I liked his son's recent movie Infinity Pool
	10:48pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:48 Oh! I forgot about that! I've actually checked that out a while ago! Thanks again!
	10:49pm Androu B.: Never seen "Crimes Of The Future", but telling from the title alone, it sounds like it was based on the same theme or story as "Minority Report".
	10:51pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Androu B. @10:49 Much more strange and interesting. Worth checking out. It's also not to be confused with an early film by him of the same name. It really revisits his old themes of body horror in a big way.
	🥁 10:53pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Nature Morte (Still Life)" by "Graeme Revell" I've played this on the radio myself, did a couple of insect-themed shows
	🥁 10:54pm Aitch: ...something about this show is bugging me....
	10:55pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @10:54 HA! I'm sorry!
	10:55pm ultradamno: Infinity Pool might be closer, though it's more Ballard than Dick in it's themes, but using clones as execution stand-ins...not pre-cog but post-crime sci-fi loophole
	🥁 10:56pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:55 Need week will it be about the beetles?
	10:56pm northguineahills: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:53 seems aurally entomyopic! 😏 /wants to hears
	10:57pm Sir Harris Tweed: Hi! Where’s all that telepathic audio from?
	10:58pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Sir Harris Tweed @10:57 Hi Sir Tweed! It's from somewhere between 20hz and 20kHz!
	10:58pm Webhamster Henry: Next set: David Rothenberg and cicadas. Kurt Gottschalk actually did a cicada remix invitational for his show when the 17-year critters were emerging.
	🥁 10:58pm Kat in the chat: ↳ northguineahills @10:56 those shows were a while back, not sure if they are on ye olde sounde cloudde
	10:59pm Daniel Menche: Ant Misbehaving!!!!
	11:00pm ultradamno: Halo Of Flies put out a single covering The Urinals' I'm A Bug on one side and The Cramps' Human Fly on the other that would be good for this (a Forced Exposure sub giveaway maybe)
	11:00pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Daniel Menche @10:59 Ha! Howdy, Daniel!
	11:00pm Androu B.: I expect this all relates in some way with tonight's Return Of Attack Of The Comps feature because...it's an Ant-Zen comp?
	11:01pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @11:00 www.discogs.com...
	11:01pm Sir Harris Tweed: confused … but really enjoying it
	11:02pm northguineahills: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:58 you'll slip 'em to me one way or another...
	11:02pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Sir Harris Tweed @11:01 I aim for confusion AND enjoyment, in that order!
	🥁 11:02pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Daniel Menche @10:59 took you long enough :)
	🥁 11:04pm Kat in the chat: oh yes, David Rothenberg, I've played him too. I missed the cicada remix action unfortunately
	🥁 11:05pm Kat in the chat: ↳ northguineahills @11:02 I gotta find em first haha
	11:07pm northguineahills: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:58 a few weeks later, kurt played my band, w/ cicadas samples, against my protestations (Rubaiyats of the Cicadas). Found the show: wfmu.org...
	🥁 11:07pm Kat in the chat: excellent mix Rich!
	🥁 11:08pm Kat in the chat: ↳ northguineahills @11:07 got a tab open for that
	11:11pm northguineahills: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:08 what have I done 😳!?
	11:12pm northguineahills: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:07 what Kat said..
	🥁 11:12pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Procreation Of The Wicked" by "Lovely Little Girls" Always worried that i'd end up on some sort of banned list for searching for anything to do with this band
	11:14pm ultradamno: I like the sound of cicadas...though I've been in Cinti at a time when three broods came out simultaneously...it was like a cloud of them descended on the city.
	11:21pm tom tom the pipers son: just tuning in... re: ants. had some sort of experience as a child where while lying on the ground of the side porch to my house, i saw an ant close to me, but very magnified with all its joints and eyes very clear and was pretty sure it was looking at me... communing with an ant.
	🥁 11:22pm Kat in the chat: Cicada buzzes scared me when I was a kid, but of course drone loving me appreciates them now
	11:22pm Androu B.: ↳ ultradamno @11:14 A fairground next to the local FD here ihn town where a flea market takes place on Sundays is having it's own cicada problem. They nest right beneath the grounds around the part of the field that isn't covered in gravel. And when the flea market is open, some can be seen every so often flying past unsuspecting shoppers.
	11:23pm northguineahills: now i crave escamol tacos (nahuatl ant eggs, found in indigenous areas of central mexico)
	11:23pm ultradamno: They need cats! They love cicadas like squeaky toys.
	11:27pm Androu B.: Lovely Little Girls sounds like what you get when you cross The Mothers Of Invention with The Mystic Knights Of Oingo Boingo.
	11:32pm Androu B.: ↳ Androu B. @11:27 ...with a hint of Sparks thrown in for good measure.
	11:32pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Androu B. @11:32 sounds pretty accurate!
	11:34pm northguineahills: i gotta jump, rich and friends! thanks, I needed an aural lobotomy!
	11:36pm flummoxed by the grotesquery: Wow … I have a very high tolerance for the grim and grotesque… yet I guess I have finally met my outer edge of audio text comfort !?! Fascinatingly Awful ! Thanx for this introduction and awareness experience.
	11:39pm Rich in Washington: ↳ flummoxed by the grotesquery @11:36 Oh yeah, that's putting it mildly. There are also some pretty grotesque videos for this band.
	11:39pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @11:34 see ya, ngh!
	🥁 11:43pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Wide Mouth Penetrated Makeshift Mustache Man" by ... Fatty Jubbo the singer had a show on WFMU I think, but before I was listening
	11:44pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @11:43 Yes. His shows were brilliant!
	🥁 11:44pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:44 Here. www.wfmu.org...
	11:45pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:44 They still live on in archiveland
	11:45pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @11:44 yep! Highly recommended.
	11:45pm Androu B.: It might just be appropriate that you follow this set up with something off of Danny Elfman's most recent solo album.
	🥁 11:46pm Aitch: I was still listening to EastVillageRadio at that stage, yet to discover the woof-moosic
	11:49pm Rich in Washington: I also have a Gregory Jacobsen (aka Fatty Jubbo) solo album that's equally fucked up. I should play some of it sometime.
	11:50pm ultradamno: Kind of a synchronicity, Incredible String Band's connection to Scientology was just a subject on Nate's talkback
	11:51pm Erik/VermonT: I get The Work:”slow crimes” vibes (arch) … among other “motor totemist guild” type pretentious. Etc. - I recall when that 1st The Work album arrived- it was an aural eyewash. Yea, Zappa (fer sure). Has me wanting to revisit that early Copernicus album. & Unrest Work & Play recordings. The scary thing - the worse it gets, the more it’s starting to grow on me …. 😛
	11:51pm Androu B.: And, geez, all the cover art looks like it was done with AI!
	11:52pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Androu B. @11:51 Nope. Oil paint.
	11:52pm ultradamno: Like if you typed sad billie eilish clown with broken jaw into it...
	11:55pm Androu B.: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:52 The artist[s] involved must've seriously tapped into his/her/their subconscious for inspiration.

The Radio Is Broken with Rich In Washington: Playlist from July 7, 2023

View Rich in Washington's profile

The Radio Is Broken is a three-hour spelunk through the canyons and fissures of humanity's collective unconscious. It sounds as if a field recording of the Culture Industry were a sonic juggernaut barreling down a rickety track—except that tunnel ahead is just painted onto a sheer cliff wall. With occasional forays into what might pass for "normal" music. Prerequisite journey: Cratedigger's Lung

While I was on Vashon Island in Washington state, I found a gigantic anthill that stood nearly 5ft tall. Thousands of ants built this hill with their relentless hard work. I took two piezo contact mics and placed them on the top of the hill with a hard left/right pan to a recorder. I hit record and captured these mighty ants crawling and scratching my microphones.

	9:00pm ultradamno: Rich! Breaker-Breakers!
	9:01pm Robm: ↳ Aitch @9:00 or headaches:)
	9:02pm pot8o: hi everyone!
	🥁 9:02pm Kat in the chat: Earache my eye!
	9:03pm Robm: howdy fellow listeners
	9:04pm Androu B.: Has something terrible happened? Hi Rich! To paraphrase the Dunkin Donuts guy: Time to fix the radio!
	9:05pm Rich in Washington: Hi everyone! Got really behind on my start!
	🥁 9:06pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Sharkey's Night" by "Laurie Anderson w/ William B... No apologies needed!
	9:06pm Robm: did anyone listen to mona today? very good show
	9:08pm ultradamno: Messer Chups summer tour dates mastodon.social...
	🥁 9:08pm Kat in the chat: LOL it's the Mea Culpa Hour with Rich
	9:09pm Rich in Washington: I'm sorry
	9:09pm Androu B.: Oh yes, terrible news about Tom Brokaw's current health status. Death pool is already on. (I usually don't partake in such things anymore. But I did once the week Bowie passed away, and sadly, I won one of my bets for that year.)
	🥁 9:10pm Kat in the chat: That cover and this track wouldn't have been out of place on Don-O's show tonight
	9:11pm Dean: Brokaw is dead? Good.
	🥁 9:11pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Snack Attack" by "Godley & Creme" Should have been covered by Shakatak
	🥁 9:12pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Aitch @9:11 Or possibly Shriekback
	9:12pm adamdoesit: Hi Rich, Big Macs, Quarter Pounders, hamburgers, cheeseburgers, and Fillets-o-Fish.
	9:12pm Robm: ↳ Dean @9:11 Dean why is that good?
	9:12pm Androu B.: ↳ Song: "Snack Attack" by "Godley & Creme" Funny that it has a similar theme to Blondie's "Rapture", which came out the following year.
	9:13pm ultradamno: ↳ Robm @9:12 Why would you feed the troll?
	9:13pm Rich in Washington: the radio is brokaw
	9:14pm Rich in Washington: Hi everyone! Busy mixin' and such. Not ignoring anybody. We are sorry.
	9:15pm Rich in Washington: I forgot about the slow speed up of this record and thought something was wrong with my turntable. I ALWAYS forget about this. I am sorry.
	9:17pm Robm: ↳ ultradamno @9:13 i was just shocked thats all i normally don’t give them the time of day
	9:19pm coelacanth∅: 'evening Rich and all
	9:19pm Androu B.: ↳ Song: "Battery Brides (Andy Paints Brian)" by "XTC" The late, great FXO used to play a sped-up & looped version of this for his backing theme during the next-to-last on-air break of his show.
	9:20pm Dean: I bought that XTC Go 2 upon release. I gave it up a decade later. It's okay.
	🥁 9:21pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Hello Sandy Allen" by "Split Enz" This is wonderful, how have I never heard it? A song for Sandy Allen and a damn catchy one too.
	9:24pm Rich in Washington: Hi coel! Hi Kat! Hi Androu! Hi Dean! Hi Robm! Hi ultradamno! Hi Aitch! Hi anyone I may have missed! I am sorry!
	9:25pm Robm: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:21 never heard of sandy allen, guess i better do a deep dive into that Hi RIch
	9:27pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "The Golden Hours" by "Brian Eno" there's another one?
	9:27pm ultradamno: ↳ Robm @9:25 The world's tallest woman en.wikipedia.org...
	🥁 9:27pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "The Golden Hours" by "Brian Eno" and the hits just keep on coming
	9:28pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @9:27 monas show was great today
	9:29pm pot8o: ↳ ultradamno @9:27 "Allen never married, saying that she was "an oldfashioned [sic] girl" and would not date a man shorter than her."
	9:29pm pot8o: i had something witty to say about that but i forgot it
	9:29pm Dean: Checking upwards...why is it good that Brokaw is no more? He was pro-war, pro-establishment for his entire career. His devotion to real journalism was nonexistent. He was a propagandist, and he knew as much, but he wanted to believe his work was honorable. Yet it was not. "Feed the troll"...I'm a troll? I am a contrarion, but not (intentionally) a troll. I wish folks wouldn't automatically assume that their views of the world were accurate.
	9:29pm Rich in Washington: Are there any songs about Robert Waldo?
	9:30pm Robm: ↳ ultradamno @9:27 thanks ultra, really did not know
	9:30pm Dean: Anyway, is that motherfucker in fact dead?
	🥁 9:30pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:29 Wadlow? Not that I know of. They're both from Illinois, that's odd
	9:31pm Webhamster Henry: Go ahead, abuse that Optigan...
	9:32pm ultradamno: Man...you could that as a textbook example of what trolling is and you know it.
	9:32pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:29 found one by "Bottled by Fools", surprised Sufjan Stevens hasn't made one, would be right up his alley
	9:33pm Androu B.: ↳ Dean @9:30 No, but according to his doctor, his time is officially short, so he'll be on his way out in a matter of weeks.
	9:35pm northguineahills: ↳ Robm @9:28 'tis it was, and will always be!
	9:35pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @9:29 concerns dutifully noted
	9:36pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "He Walks Alone" by "Cows" hadn't heard this since the bodevine daze...
	9:36pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @9:32 ...could *cite, that is
	9:37pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @9:35 it was one of those shows where there was a lot if love in the chat too
	9:39pm Androu B.: ↳ Androu B. @9:33 I actually meant to say "He COULD be on his way out in a matter of weeks". Not trying to imply that I have any inside info on the matter. (I am sorry.)
	9:39pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @9:36 I dig The Cows
	🥁 9:41pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Jesus Built My Hotrod" by "Ministry" Dang
	9:41pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Dean @9:29 one random has-been piece of shit like brokaw checking out wont make the world any better. sure, one less mouth to feed but at 83 he was overdue.
	9:42pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:39 Me too, it's been almost two decades since I've heard them..
	9:43pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @9:42 been doing this deep dive into that era's scuzz rock, Noise rock, etc. Don't know how I missed some of these bands first time around. Guess they didn't come to my town much?
	🥁 9:45pm Kat in the chat: Nice transition there Rich
	9:45pm ultradamno: Oh, let's join in celebrating blood cancer
	9:45pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:43 I was too young at the time, but read about them in zines. By 99-00, I started picking up records of such bands...
	9:45pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:45 I been practicin'!
	9:46pm coelacanth∅: ↳ ultradamno @9:45 juvenile of you to say that
	9:46pm ultradamno: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:46 Oh...fuck you.
	9:47pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:46 is he wrong?
	9:47pm northguineahills: ↳ ultradamno @9:46 ok, let chilldaddle this....
	9:47pm coelacanth∅: ↳ northguineahills @9:47 completely.
	9:48pm Rich in Washington: <Dad voice>:If I have to TURN THIS SHOW AROUND!
	9:48pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Fuck You Up And Get High" by "Dwarves" an album as a youth I never had to guts to pick up, sounds great!
	9:49pm coelacanth∅: blood cancer has nothing to do with opinions about a particular person.
	9:49pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Fuck You Up And Get High" by "Dwarves" didn't some televangelist throw a fit about this cover way back when? might be misremembering
	9:49pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @9:49 Really? WHy?
	9:50pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:49 there are choicier trees to piss upon...
	9:51pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:49 because anything even resembling fun is a sin apparently
	9:51pm ultradamno: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:49 Whose sickness you find worthy of celebrating...
	9:52pm coelacanth∅: ↳ northguineahills @9:50 that's exactly what i was saying. who cares if tom brokaw's dead or not.
	9:52pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "In The Kingdom #19" by "Sonic Youth" ok, i haven never heard this played on wfmu, before, bravo, rich!
	9:52pm coelacanth∅: ↳ ultradamno @9:51 also exactly opposite of anything i said.
	9:53pm ultradamno: This started because someone cared, as I recalled and was trolled.
	9:53pm northguineahills: err, haven't (can't wait until I regain feeling in my left hand so I can type better).
	9:53pm ultradamno: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:52 No. Leg. To. Stand. On.
	9:54pm Robm: ok guys just lets all take a deep breath and chill
	9:55pm coelacanth∅: that's not trolling. if donald trump died and someone expressed sorrow in the comments many would say "good" and you would not call it trolling.
	9:55pm coelacanth∅: ↳ ultradamno @9:53 somehow i always thought you were older than 14 years.
	9:55pm ultradamno: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:55 Yes, it would be. Classicly.
	9:55pm Robm: ↳ northguineahills @9:52 too bad kim and thurston imploded, sonic youth was a great group
	9:56pm ike-o: Peace and greetings. Thanks for a fun show
	9:56pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ike-o @9:56 Ike-O!
	9:56pm ultradamno: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:55 I'm not the one acting like a newscaster is Putin or Hitler
	🥁 9:57pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Why Do People Have To Fight?" by "Herve Villechaize" "WHY" indeed
	🥁 9:57pm Aitch: ↳ ultradamno @9:56 putin on the hits?
	9:57pm coelacanth∅: anyone who supports putin or hitler is worthy of scorn.
	9:58pm coelacanth∅: i'm sorry Rich.
	9:58pm ultradamno: And how this has progressed demonstrates how it was trolling in the place.
	10:02pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Ant Poems!" by "Monty Python's Flying Circus" This was I think the only Monty Python show that was basically one sketch.
	10:03pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:02 For some reason they adopted this weird longform format for Season 4.
	🥁 10:04pm Kat in the chat: ha I saw this new Menche in my emails. I have oh so much Bandcamping to catch up on
	🥁 10:05pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:03 I've been meaning to go back over Spike's Q's. Utterly bonkers
	10:05pm pot8o: never expected anthills to sound so good
	10:07pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:04 Me too! I need to sell a kidney to clear out my wishlist and download it all.
	🥁 10:07pm Kat in the chat: the real Antmusic right here
	10:07pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Thatch" by "Daniel Menche" Portland's finest!
	10:07pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:07 LOL!
	🥁 10:08pm Aitch: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:07 even if you like it, you're still anti
	10:08pm northguineahills: (he appears on dan'l blumin's chatboard from time to time)
	🥁 10:08pm Kat in the chat: unplug the jukebox, get out the contact mics
	10:09pm northguineahills: ↳ Aitch @10:08 how philosophical, "ant-i"
	🥁 10:09pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Aitch @10:08 haha Aitch!
	10:09pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @10:08 yeah. He's a big WFMU fan.
	10:10pm pot8o: ↳ northguineahills @10:08 what's his username? curious as to whether I've talked to him before 🤔
	🥁 10:10pm Kat in the chat: ↳ pot8o @10:10 I think he just signs in under his own name
	10:10pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @10:10 Probably just his name but I don't think he signs in. He's popped into my Sheena show a few times.
	10:10pm Tree life: enjoying your work, Rich
	10:11pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:10 jinxs!
	10:11pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Tree life @10:10 Thanks, Tree life! That's mighty kind of you to say!
	10:12pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:10 so probably not then
	10:12pm Rich in Washington: This is fun for me because the place I grew up in had gigantic anthills in the woods. They'd just take over a stump and would be several feet tall with millions of ants.
	10:14pm northguineahills: ↳ pot8o @10:10 his given name...
	🥁 10:14pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:11 yeah I guess he does the math problem every time
	10:14pm northguineahills: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:10 what kat from chicago said.. 😜
	🥁 10:15pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:12 was that scary or cool or just normal to you?
	10:15pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Thatch" by "Daniel Menche" B-side: termite hills! from my Imaginary Sound Events of 2018: Termite Mound Sounds Termitology (Subterranean 2018) Termite mounds are actually the junk heaps of dirt the industrious bugs haul out of the ground while digging their cities. Millions of tiny legs and feelers are involved, and movement makes sound. Termites make a tapping noise when agitated, so our intrepid researchers at Termitology agitated some termites to come up with these rhythm tracks.
	🥁 10:15pm Kat in the chat: ooh these go well together
	10:16pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:15 Normal but if you stood in one place for too long you'd have ants crawling up your legs.
	10:18pm Rich in Washington: Phase IV is an excellent example of an insect fear film and I really recommend it. Directed by Saul Bass, a name usually associated with graphic design and film title design.
	10:19pm northguineahills: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:15 "kat has ants in her pants!" 🐜🐈👖
	10:20pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:18 A nice rundown of his titles www.artofthetitle.com...
	🥁 10:20pm Kat in the chat: ↳ northguineahills @10:19 nope but it sounds like a young Rich might've
	10:20pm pot8o: there's a steve roden piece where he stuck a mic in an anthill and ran it through a bunch of filters but i can't seem to find it again
	10:22pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @10:20 That's the stuff!
	10:27pm Androu B.: ↳ Song: "Phase I" by "Brian Gascoigne & David Briscoe" Wow, I was just about to say that this reminded me of a certain film I'd heard about through MST3K! It was fetaured during the series' freshman season ("Season 0") when the show was aired on KTMA in Minneapolis.
	10:29pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "I Am Sitting In A Room (excerpts)" by "Alvin Lucier" I am sitting on an anthill.
	10:29pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:29 YOW! Hopefully not red ants!
	10:30pm northguineahills: ↳ ultradamno @10:20 thanks!
	10:30pm northguineahills: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:29 🤣🤣🤣
	10:30pm Androu B.: ↳ Androu B. @10:27 In reference to the Menche track played earlier.
	🥁 10:30pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:29 I think you won chat tonight
	10:33pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:29 That's when you know it's become a real kink
	10:34pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Androu B. @10:30 I think they DID do Phase IV during their KTMA days! I've seen it, although the quality of the video I saw of it was horrible. I quite liked their first season. it was a bit rough but really entertaining.
	10:34pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:30 Aww. I did "I am sitting in a Zoom" for Lucier's 90th.
	10:34pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:34 Oh wow. Did you record that?
	10:36pm Rich in Washington: My first ever 'appearance' on WFMU was submitting a parody of 'Room' to Kenny G's show. It was part of the inauguration poem jam a bunch of listeners did.
	10:36pm northguineahills: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:34 better that than a broom...
	🥁 10:38pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:34 wow
	10:41pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "I Am Sitting In A Room (excerpts - played backwar... @rich: menso!
	10:42pm Androu B.: Another movie I was thinking about tonight during Don-O's show was "Scanners". First time I saw it was back in the early '00's. Made such an impression on me after watching docus focusing on persons gifted with the power of telepathy & telekinesis.
	10:44pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Androu B. @10:42 I love all of Cronenberg's Toronto era output. I've actually sort of lost track of him except for Crimes Of The Future, which I rather enjoyed.
	10:44pm ultradamno: Probably the exploding head movie referred to by Stereolab/NWW
	10:45pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @10:44 I am sure.
	10:46pm northguineahills: ↳ ultradamno @10:44 that one!
	10:48pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:36 I also made a "IASIAR" app, for all your room sitting needs. jhhl.net...
	10:48pm ultradamno: He appeared on the recent season of Slasher as the father that sets up the death traps, kind of the part he was born to play. I liked Eastern Promises, far from his cult peak, but well done. I liked his son's recent movie Infinity Pool
	10:48pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:48 Oh! I forgot about that! I've actually checked that out a while ago! Thanks again!
	10:49pm Androu B.: Never seen "Crimes Of The Future", but telling from the title alone, it sounds like it was based on the same theme or story as "Minority Report".
	10:51pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Androu B. @10:49 Much more strange and interesting. Worth checking out. It's also not to be confused with an early film by him of the same name. It really revisits his old themes of body horror in a big way.
	🥁 10:53pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Nature Morte (Still Life)" by "Graeme Revell" I've played this on the radio myself, did a couple of insect-themed shows
	🥁 10:54pm Aitch: ...something about this show is bugging me....
	10:55pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @10:54 HA! I'm sorry!
	10:55pm ultradamno: Infinity Pool might be closer, though it's more Ballard than Dick in it's themes, but using clones as execution stand-ins...not pre-cog but post-crime sci-fi loophole
	🥁 10:56pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:55 Need week will it be about the beetles?
	10:56pm northguineahills: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:53 seems aurally entomyopic! 😏 /wants to hears
	10:57pm Sir Harris Tweed: Hi! Where’s all that telepathic audio from?
	10:58pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Sir Harris Tweed @10:57 Hi Sir Tweed! It's from somewhere between 20hz and 20kHz!
	10:58pm Webhamster Henry: Next set: David Rothenberg and cicadas. Kurt Gottschalk actually did a cicada remix invitational for his show when the 17-year critters were emerging.
	🥁 10:58pm Kat in the chat: ↳ northguineahills @10:56 those shows were a while back, not sure if they are on ye olde sounde cloudde
	10:59pm Daniel Menche: Ant Misbehaving!!!!
	11:00pm ultradamno: Halo Of Flies put out a single covering The Urinals' I'm A Bug on one side and The Cramps' Human Fly on the other that would be good for this (a Forced Exposure sub giveaway maybe)
	11:00pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Daniel Menche @10:59 Ha! Howdy, Daniel!
	11:00pm Androu B.: I expect this all relates in some way with tonight's Return Of Attack Of The Comps feature because...it's an Ant-Zen comp?
	11:01pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @11:00 www.discogs.com...
	11:01pm Sir Harris Tweed: confused … but really enjoying it
	11:02pm northguineahills: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:58 you'll slip 'em to me one way or another...
	11:02pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Sir Harris Tweed @11:01 I aim for confusion AND enjoyment, in that order!
	🥁 11:02pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Daniel Menche @10:59 took you long enough :)
	🥁 11:04pm Kat in the chat: oh yes, David Rothenberg, I've played him too. I missed the cicada remix action unfortunately
	🥁 11:05pm Kat in the chat: ↳ northguineahills @11:02 I gotta find em first haha
	11:07pm northguineahills: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:58 a few weeks later, kurt played my band, w/ cicadas samples, against my protestations (Rubaiyats of the Cicadas). Found the show: wfmu.org...
	🥁 11:07pm Kat in the chat: excellent mix Rich!
	🥁 11:08pm Kat in the chat: ↳ northguineahills @11:07 got a tab open for that
	11:11pm northguineahills: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:08 what have I done 😳!?
	11:12pm northguineahills: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:07 what Kat said..
	🥁 11:12pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Procreation Of The Wicked" by "Lovely Little Girls" Always worried that i'd end up on some sort of banned list for searching for anything to do with this band
	11:14pm ultradamno: I like the sound of cicadas...though I've been in Cinti at a time when three broods came out simultaneously...it was like a cloud of them descended on the city.
	11:21pm tom tom the pipers son: just tuning in... re: ants. had some sort of experience as a child where while lying on the ground of the side porch to my house, i saw an ant close to me, but very magnified with all its joints and eyes very clear and was pretty sure it was looking at me... communing with an ant.
	🥁 11:22pm Kat in the chat: Cicada buzzes scared me when I was a kid, but of course drone loving me appreciates them now
	11:22pm Androu B.: ↳ ultradamno @11:14 A fairground next to the local FD here ihn town where a flea market takes place on Sundays is having it's own cicada problem. They nest right beneath the grounds around the part of the field that isn't covered in gravel. And when the flea market is open, some can be seen every so often flying past unsuspecting shoppers.
	11:23pm northguineahills: now i crave escamol tacos (nahuatl ant eggs, found in indigenous areas of central mexico)
	11:23pm ultradamno: They need cats! They love cicadas like squeaky toys.
	11:27pm Androu B.: Lovely Little Girls sounds like what you get when you cross The Mothers Of Invention with The Mystic Knights Of Oingo Boingo.
	11:32pm Androu B.: ↳ Androu B. @11:27 ...with a hint of Sparks thrown in for good measure.
	11:32pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Androu B. @11:32 sounds pretty accurate!
	11:34pm northguineahills: i gotta jump, rich and friends! thanks, I needed an aural lobotomy!
	11:36pm flummoxed by the grotesquery: Wow … I have a very high tolerance for the grim and grotesque… yet I guess I have finally met my outer edge of audio text comfort !?! Fascinatingly Awful ! Thanx for this introduction and awareness experience.
	11:39pm Rich in Washington: ↳ flummoxed by the grotesquery @11:36 Oh yeah, that's putting it mildly. There are also some pretty grotesque videos for this band.
	11:39pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @11:34 see ya, ngh!
	🥁 11:43pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Wide Mouth Penetrated Makeshift Mustache Man" by ... Fatty Jubbo the singer had a show on WFMU I think, but before I was listening
	11:44pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @11:43 Yes. His shows were brilliant!
	🥁 11:44pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:44 Here. www.wfmu.org...
	11:45pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:44 They still live on in archiveland
	11:45pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @11:44 yep! Highly recommended.
	11:45pm Androu B.: It might just be appropriate that you follow this set up with something off of Danny Elfman's most recent solo album.
	🥁 11:46pm Aitch: I was still listening to EastVillageRadio at that stage, yet to discover the woof-moosic
	11:49pm Rich in Washington: I also have a Gregory Jacobsen (aka Fatty Jubbo) solo album that's equally fucked up. I should play some of it sometime.
	11:50pm ultradamno: Kind of a synchronicity, Incredible String Band's connection to Scientology was just a subject on Nate's talkback
	11:51pm Erik/VermonT: I get The Work:”slow crimes” vibes (arch) … among other “motor totemist guild” type pretentious. Etc. - I recall when that 1st The Work album arrived- it was an aural eyewash. Yea, Zappa (fer sure). Has me wanting to revisit that early Copernicus album. & Unrest Work & Play recordings. The scary thing - the worse it gets, the more it’s starting to grow on me …. 😛
	11:51pm Androu B.: And, geez, all the cover art looks like it was done with AI!
	11:52pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Androu B. @11:51 Nope. Oil paint.
	11:52pm ultradamno: Like if you typed sad billie eilish clown with broken jaw into it...
	11:55pm Androu B.: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:52 The artist[s] involved must've seriously tapped into his/her/their subconscious for inspiration.
	🥁 11:55pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "I'm So Good Looking" by "Lovely Little Girls" Cover pic looks a bit like Andrew Lloyd Webber
	11:56pm ultradamno: The Glistening Vivid Splash could be an alternate for NWW's Thunder Perfect Mind cover
	11:58pm Webhamster Henry: Yes, very fun. Thanks !
	11:59pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Webhamster Henry @11:58 Thanks for listening!
	12:00am pot8o: thanks rich! have a great week everyone!
	🥁 12:00am Aitch: Much ground covered, thanks Rich
	12:00am Androu B.: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:59 Thank YOU, Rich!
	12:00am Rich in Washington: ↳ Androu B. @12:00 Thanks, Androu!
	12:01am Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @12:00 Thanks pot8o!
	12:01am Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @12:00 Thanks, Aitch!
	🥁 12:02am WR: Thank you, was working most of the time but had the groovy sounds going in the background. Onward, y'all.
