Listener comments!
	👻 4:06pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	8:59pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Ahoy!
	👻 9:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @8:59 Hey! Nice to see you in the chat.
	9:00pm Krys O.: Hey, hey, hey!
	👻 9:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:00 Krys O! Always a pleasure.
	9:01pm Mr. X: Are we West yet?
	👻 9:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:01 Mr. X! Hooray!
	9:02pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:00 You too. Curious about your ideas for the narrator in our upcoming reading
	9:06pm laurapanic: me too now!
	9:06pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Bit of rum punch?
	9:09pm Krys O.: Garbage. There's a lot of that about.
	👻 9:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:06 I'm a "bourbon, neat" kind of gent, myself. With a little beer back, for flavor.
	9:10pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Radio always makes me smile, whether stories or songs
	👻 9:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:09 Time for a clean-up!
	9:10pm Arvo: howdy!!
	👻 9:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:10 Arvo! How excellent!
	9:11pm Arvo: I just wanted to say hello, as I am editing audio... but good to see the west is still being won, again and again...
	9:12pm laurapanic: "even a cocktail..." cue massive riff
	👻 9:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:12 These guys are excellent. Metal nerds; one of them has a PhD in Physics. But the LOVE to drink.
	9:13pm Arvo: I used to like to drink whiskey with a bit of grenadine and orange juice, some people were too macho for such things, but mixing coke with alcohol is honestly one of the most foollish things you can do with alcohol, in my informed opiniong.
	👻 9:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:13 Thanks for poppin' in!
	👻 9:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:13 I agree. I tend to like to taste the booze I'm drinking, and have something on the side. Though these days, I don't drink as much as I used to. Just occasionally.
	9:15pm Arvo: I might have white wine with a lady some time, but not for a while...
	👻 9:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:15 That's probably more my speed these days.
	9:19pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Buck sounds like he's entitled
	👻 9:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:19 He's not used to anyone saying no to him, that's for sure.
	9:20pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Song: "Have A Drink On Me" by "Hayseed Dixie" Interesting take
	👻 9:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:20 I feel like this was at the peak of that trend, where there was a "bluegrass" version of everything on the planet. The "Fade to Bluegrass" Metallica album comes to mind...
	9:22pm Mr. X: reprobate...good word
	👻 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:22 We need to make a list of "Human Dinosaur" words, for future songs.
	9:23pm laurapanic: wait....you can own a TRAIN?
	9:23pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:21 it was never enjoyable
	👻 9:24pm Austin Rich: My brother's name is Buck. My dad, after some western he was a fan of, wanted to be named Buck. So he told my mom that I would be named Buck. My mom kindly said, "Oh, I'll name the first one. You can name the second," thinking he would forget. He didn't.
	👻 9:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:23 When you're actually rich, and it's not just your name, you can own anything. And that's the problem.
	9:26pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:24 I knew a kid whose first and middle names were Zane Gray. He wound up being a bartender in Miami.
	👻 9:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:26 As a bookstore employee, I can tell you: the average age of anyone who even knows who Zane Gray is happens to be over 45, at least, and anyone reading is probably in their 60s, at least. Not a lot of people will even know who he is, soon.
	9:29pm Krys O.: Fading fast. G'night, all! Take care.
	👻 9:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Armed Robbery" by "Dot Vaeth Group" Parents In The 80s: "Punk is Dangerous!" Parents Now: "Oh! How Quaint! An old punk song!"
	👻 9:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:29 Sleep well!
	9:32pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Loving the mix of music and storytelling
	9:32pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:29 Tobi Vail: "Yr so not dangerous/Yr not what you say you are at all"
	9:34pm Aitch: ... and lurkers...
	9:36pm Mr. X: ↳ Mr. X @9:26 Oops, spelled Zane Grey. I read Riders of the Purple Sage when I was a teen, and it was okay, but that was enough Zane Grey for me. It's kind of anti-Mormon. Which they probably deserved. But still, kind of an uncomfortable stance for the best selling Western of all time.
	9:36pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: And what a future it is
	9:36pm coelacanth∅: no sooner'n you say yer a lurker y'ain't no lurker no more oops
	👻 9:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:36 #TruthBomb
	👻 9:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:36 I feel like Westerns did better on screen, when you could show those wide open spaces.
	9:40pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:39 So what was the basis of your dad's obsession with Westerns to the point that he had to name his kids with Western-style handles?
	9:41pm coelacanth∅: is this prairie music or mountain music?!
	9:42pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:39 Best as movies of course.
	👻 9:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:40 I think he just grew up at a time that Westerns were very popular, and he saw a lot of them. But its' funny: we never watched them when I was growing up. He just seemed to have a lot of fond memories of them.
	👻 9:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:41 A blend, really.
	👻 9:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "You Gotta Wait (Live)" by "The Juanita Family & F... Another band I engineered, for my show, back in 2005. I often didn't have an engineer in spite of booking one, so I eventually figured out how to do it myself. Here's the whole show, when I had them on in 2005. Most of the band is comprised of members of different Portland Heavy Metal Bands; Lana Rebel, the singer, was known as the bass player / singer for "Last of the Juanitas," before this. midvalleymutations.com...
	👻 9:46pm Heather Z: Howdy all! I was delayed in a bit of an altercation with some agents sniffing around the still while I filled the moonshine canteens but a swift kick from Old Scratch sent em on their way. Anyone care for a swig?
	👻 9:46pm Austin Rich: I'm not 100% sure if that link works.... Try this one... I think the link has two live sets, from bands that were on my show. midvalleymutations.com...
	👻 9:47pm Austin Rich: (I need to do some link clean-up on my blogs... damn. Half of them do not work.)
	👻 9:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:46 Thanks for droppin' in!
	9:48pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Daddy Buck Walton" by "Frontier Gentleman" They just reverse engineered the train.
	👻 9:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:48 Zing!
	9:49pm coelacanth∅: eh eh... and then along came Jones
	👻 9:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Train I Ride" by "Doo Rag" One of THE BEST albums of 1994, hands down.
	9:50pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:49 Tall, thin Jones
	9:50pm coelacanth∅: hey Heather! 'got my own jar but we can trade swigs!
	9:51pm coelacanth∅: ...slow talkin' Jones
	👻 9:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:50 The old west version of when hippies "swap bowls."
	👻 9:51pm Heather Z: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:50 Gladly! Here ye be! Fresh from the still.
	9:51pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:51 Low talking Jones
	9:52pm coelacanth∅: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:51 ah i screwed it up! slow walkin' Jones!
	👻 9:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:52 We forgive you.
	9:53pm laurapanic: "What am I gonna do with a train?" GOOD LORD MAN USE YOUR IMAGINATION !! YOU WILL HAVE A MOTHERFUCKING TRAIN!!!!!
	👻 9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "The Lord Knows I'm Drinking" by "Cal Smith" A record I saved from a box of singles my mom was gonna get rid of, at one point. The record is messed up, but I did the best transfer I could.
	👻 9:54pm Heather Z: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:52 Blame it on the moonshine! That stuff packs a wallop!!
	9:54pm Mr. X: ↳ laurapanic @9:53 Right?
	👻 9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:53 Yeah. I thought the show was gonna go in a different direction, after this.
	👻 9:54pm Heather Z: ↳ laurapanic @9:53 Ah, that got a laugh out of me!!!
	9:55pm coelacanth∅: ↳ laurapanic @9:53 hahaha!
	9:57pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Probably sold to some guy named Casey
	9:57pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "The Lord Knows I'm Drinking" by "Cal Smith" reminds me of one of my favorite Johnny Cash songs,"no earthly good"... which i think i've referenced during this show before, for some reason
	10:01pm coelacanth∅: old title: "moonshiner's daughter marries the former priest". new title: "I.M. me NOW! OMG! lol".
	10:02pm WR: Rich in Washington in the WFMU drummer stream. wfmu.org...
	10:03pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I did one Imaginos fanfiction that has a train scene when he travels from New Hampshire to Texas.
	👻 10:04pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @10:02 Thank you, WR! On the Drummer stream. Rich is an excellent DJ, and hosted me as a guest on his show, well before I ever knew about Sheena's. A great DJ. So much fun to listen to!
	10:05pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "The Cheyenne Theme Song" by "William Lava & Stan ... French horns are essential to that Western theme song sound.
	👻 10:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:05 I was thinking about how important horns are to the sound... of the old west... and it's just funny.
	👻 10:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Stormy" by "The Wipers" One of the most underrated Wipers records. After Nirvana made famous a cover version of a Wipers song, they were offered a chance to make a new album, after a lot of indifference from the press. So, rather than do a rockin' "grunge" album, like the Nirvana cover, they did a very morose, mellow album, "Silver Sail," which is beautiful, but was not popular. Then he put out this record, one of the best later-period Wipers records... that was almost completely overlooked, because the previous album was a bomb.
	10:09pm Mr. X: Lots of Portland bands tonight.
	👻 10:10pm Austin Rich: I've done a lot of cool things in my life, and I don't have a lot of regrets (aside from not seeing the Ramones). But since I never earned a cool nickname like, "Hyena Bob," I feel like a bit of a failure. Like: what HAVE I done with my life?
	👻 10:11pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:09 It is what I cut my teeth on.
	10:11pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: First thing that comes to mind when I hear Deadwood is the Deadwoods Circus
	👻 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Wyoming" by "The-Front" I have a recording of this band playing this song on my show, but the album version is a little more coherent. (I'm not always good at mixing live music.) But The-Front was a lot of fun when they were on my show, and I love them.
	👻 10:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Wyoming" by "The-Front" I believe they were from Casper, Wyoming, and as they told it: one of perhaps two bands in town. They usually had to tour, just to find other bands to play with.
	👻 10:14pm Austin Rich: I like how The Frontier Gentleman gets drafted to work for Hyena Bob. And he doesn't question it! I love it.
	10:15pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Austin Rich @10:05 in a store in the early 1990s i was playing a tape of "native american" flute music that had a synthesizer on it and my co-worker said "oh yes the synthesizer was an important part of the landscape in the old west" (paraphrasing) - but the flute was played by a native navajo who composed and arranged the music. he wasn't going for "authenticity"!
	👻 10:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:15 Oooooo! I love tapes like that.
	10:16pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Medley: Dinner Music For A Pack Of Hungry Canniba... everything about the Warner Bros cartoons was marvellous
	👻 10:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Medley: Dinner Music For A Pack Of Hungry Canniba... When I first got this album, from my friend Semi-Colin, I essentially listened to in non-stop, for months. It was the soundtrack to that Spring / Summer, in 1996.
	👻 10:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ Aitch @10:16 And they get better with age!
	10:18pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Austin Rich @10:16 i went through a phase and kind of burned out on them!
	👻 10:18pm Heather Z: ↳ Aitch @10:16 A fireside topic brought up the other night was who would be hotter IRL, Popeye or Bugs Bunny. Anyone have opinions?
	👻 10:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:18 It's easy to do. I found a YouTube channel of a gent who digitizes / posts tapes like that, and it's pretty fun to dip in occasionally.
	10:19pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Heather Z @10:18 Bugs. Especially in drag.
	👻 10:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:18 Bugs, I think. He's already into drag and he's got that Groucho sense of humor.
	👻 10:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:18 Popeye is a philosopher, and possibly a good father... but not really what you're looking for, based on "hotness."
	10:20pm Mr. X: But Popeye has those fore-arms!
	10:20pm Aitch: ↳ Heather Z @10:18 Bugs looked cute in drag
	👻 10:20pm Heather Z: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:19 That was my immediate response! "The charisma.... and he does drag."
	10:21pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Heather Z @10:18 bugs can be a bit effeminate at times - something i prefer in a male!
	10:21pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Aitch @10:20 Especially as a Valkyrie.
	👻 10:21pm Austin Rich: This is well-trod territory; I think "Red Dwarf" covered the "Bugs is Hot" subject in their show, twice.
	👻 10:22pm Heather Z: ↳ Mr. X @10:20 None of us around the fire would kick Popeye out for eating crackers in bed, that's for sure. But we had to choose one and Bugs was it.
	👻 10:22pm Austin Rich: I appreciate that Hyena Bob wouldn't give up the recipe. He's my favorite character so far, by far.
	👻 10:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:22 Robin Williams / Popeye, Animated Cartoon Popeye, or Thimble Theater / Comic Strip Popeye?
	10:24pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Cigarettes, Whiskey and Wild, Wild Women" by "Buc... Red Ingle does this.
	10:24pm Aitch: but what did they put in the spinach?
	👻 10:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Cigarettes, Whiskey and Wild, Wild Women" by "Buc... This sounds like the perfect woman. I have no idea what these guys are complaining about.
	10:24pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:23 Anything the Fleischer Bros did became the best version.
	👻 10:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:24 I figured Buck Owens couldn't have been the first.
	👻 10:24pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:23 The question was classic cartoons only so animated! Re Red Dwarf, I'll mention that next fire! None of us knew that Bugs is Hot is an actual thing! Except that he simply is.
	👻 10:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:24 Good Point! Those early cartoons are excellent!
	10:25pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Mr Fab @10:24 Awesome animation. Loved their earlier work.
	10:25pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Cigarettes, Whiskey and Wild, Wild Women" by "Buc... the outfits?
	👻 10:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ Aitch @10:25 Yeah, don't stare at the album cover long... it only begs questions...
	10:26pm Mr Fab: ↳ Mr. X @10:24 I like how he spelled it: "Cigareetes, Whuskey, and Wild, Wild Women"
	10:26pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:25 Reminds me of the one man band scene in Mary Popping
	👻 10:27pm Austin Rich: "That tapeworm of mine." I had a roommate who would talk about his tapeworm.
	10:27pm Aitch: ↳ Austin Rich @10:27 Dune fan?
	👻 10:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Aitch @10:27 "Ride the tapeworm."
	👻 10:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Have Another Drink" by "MX-80" The best title for a live album.
	10:28pm Aitch: ↳ Austin Rich @10:28 this spice smells a bit off?
	10:28pm Mr. X: They're chugging more than water in Chugwater.
	10:29pm coelacanth∅: you gotta send some christmas packages down to give the tapeworm something constructive to do
	👻 10:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Have Another Drink" by "MX-80" Bruce Anderson, from MX-80, died earlier this year. A tremendous guitar player.
	10:29pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:28 Ever hear of Doon by Harvard Lampoon
	👻 10:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:29 I'll have to look that up! We are big Dune fans in this house.
	10:31pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: National rather. Harvard did Bored of the Rings
	10:34pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: en.m.wikipedia.org...
	10:34pm coelacanth∅: i don't really see any way for this story to go except the bad guy coming down with debilitation explosive diarrhea
	10:35pm coelacanth∅: ...and then Alien bursting through his abdomen.
	👻 10:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:35 We should have been writing this show!
	👻 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:34 The only one of those books I was familiar with was "Bored of The Rings."
	10:37pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:35 Follow by either terror or a song and dance
	10:38pm Arvo: HI Heather! Some nice tunes here...
	10:39pm coelacanth∅: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:37 ding-dong the witch is dead?!
	10:39pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:35 If we did I think Kendall keeping the train would have been a good idea.
	👻 10:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:38 "Some nice tunes here. It would be a shame if someone were to... re-mix them!"
	10:39pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "The Great Gambler" by "Dan the Automator & DJ Sha... This is wild. I mostly know DJ Shadow through his work with UNKLE.
	👻 10:39pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @10:38 Hi Arvo!! Super good tunes and story!!
	👻 10:40pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:39 This album was our "party" record for a while, in the late 90's / early 00's. The Ramen City Kid had it, and would play it ALL the time.
	10:40pm Arvo: JESSICA RABBIT
	👻 10:41pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @10:40 I meannnn....
	👻 10:41pm Austin Rich: "Thunder and Lightning." Nice euphemism.
	10:42pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Uh oh. Fate is in the cards.
	👻 10:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:42 <taps side of nose>
	10:43pm laurapanic: there are some mighty flowery ways of being rude in the frontier times
	👻 10:43pm Austin Rich: Again: Hyena Bob, on step ahead.
	👻 10:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:43 You gotta get to a 300 level with florid language before they even let you into the Old West. There's a lot of pre-requisites.
	👻 10:45pm Austin Rich: The Frontier "One Punch" Gentleman.
	👻 10:46pm Austin Rich: A man... bottling his feelings... acting out... wow... this is such an unusual, strange story. (wink)
	10:46pm Mr. X: Webster has PTSD.
	👻 10:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Part Fourteen: Chugwater Station" The original title for this episode is "Cannibal." But I figured it was better to not reveal that secret until now...
	10:50pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:49 Based on All Packerd?
	👻 10:50pm Heather Z: Hey, it's Nartin Mule!!
	👻 10:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Broken Dreams For Boys" by "The Cleaners From Venus" Heather and I are sitting on a great interview with Martin Newell / The Cleaners From Venus. I should air that soon.
	👻 10:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:50 Maybe? I'm not familiar with that story.
	👻 10:51pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:50 He was so gracious. Lovely talented fellow.
	10:51pm Mr. X: Let's have a Donner Party!
	👻 10:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:51 Another Human Dinosaur title?
	10:52pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:51 LOL
	10:52pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:51 youtu.be...
	👻 10:53pm Heather Z: Haaaa!! Everyone is dancing now!
	👻 10:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Blister in the Sun" by "Violent Femmes" The album that crosses into every social circle imaginable. All the punks and the goth kids and the weirdos and the hippies... all had this album.
	10:54pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Blister in the Sun" by "Violent Femmes" Saw them when this was new, playing at my Uni. Great night
	10:55pm coelacanth∅: Excellent story! and i have personal experience with people THAT sick.
	10:55pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Ever read the EC comic story about the crash survivor who kept saying "I hate her". But it turns out he wasn't saying hate?
	10:56pm coelacanth∅: good call to change the title
	👻 10:56pm Heather Z: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:55 Really well done and definitely texted Austin re trigger warning. Phew. Wow!
	10:57pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Sector ZZ9PluralZAlpha
	👻 10:58pm Heather Z: Getting to that time so thanks everyone for a fun chat and thanks to Austin for another great show!! Good night!
	10:59pm Mr. X: Thanks for the fun, Austin!
	10:59pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Thanks
	10:59pm Aitch: Thanks for show
	10:59pm coelacanth∅: rains HARD here ~5x/week now. mold everywhere. ...rains inside too, but that's another story.
	👻 11:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:59 I'll trade a little of your rain for a little of our sunshine! The weather exchange program. I love it.
	👻 11:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Cannibal" by "Job's Daughters" This band is essentially, "Thinking Fellers Union Local 282," a band I adore. (And never got to see.) But I have seen, "White Shark Shivers," which is essentially the remaining members in a new incarnation. But I always appreciated this permutation, "Job's Daughters," mostly because I was always fascinated by what could possibly happen at real life "Job's Daughters" meetings.
	11:02pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Austin Rich @11:00 'should work
	11:03pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Austin! take care y'all
	👻 11:03pm Austin Rich: Ya'll are amazing. See ya next time!
	👻 11:05pm Austin Rich: I loved that transition to the stream! How cool...

Mid-Valley Mutations with Austin Rich: Playlist from August 15, 2023

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.

Tuesday 9 - 11pm (EST) | On WFMU's Sheena's Jungle Room

Listener comments!
	👻 4:06pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	8:59pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Ahoy!
	👻 9:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @8:59 Hey! Nice to see you in the chat.
	9:00pm Krys O.: Hey, hey, hey!
	👻 9:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:00 Krys O! Always a pleasure.
	9:01pm Mr. X: Are we West yet?
	👻 9:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:01 Mr. X! Hooray!
	9:02pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:00 You too. Curious about your ideas for the narrator in our upcoming reading
	9:06pm laurapanic: me too now!
	9:06pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Bit of rum punch?
	9:09pm Krys O.: Garbage. There's a lot of that about.
	👻 9:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:06 I'm a "bourbon, neat" kind of gent, myself. With a little beer back, for flavor.
	9:10pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Radio always makes me smile, whether stories or songs
	👻 9:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:09 Time for a clean-up!
	9:10pm Arvo: howdy!!
	👻 9:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:10 Arvo! How excellent!
	9:11pm Arvo: I just wanted to say hello, as I am editing audio... but good to see the west is still being won, again and again...
	9:12pm laurapanic: "even a cocktail..." cue massive riff
	👻 9:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:12 These guys are excellent. Metal nerds; one of them has a PhD in Physics. But the LOVE to drink.
	9:13pm Arvo: I used to like to drink whiskey with a bit of grenadine and orange juice, some people were too macho for such things, but mixing coke with alcohol is honestly one of the most foollish things you can do with alcohol, in my informed opiniong.
	👻 9:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:13 Thanks for poppin' in!
	👻 9:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:13 I agree. I tend to like to taste the booze I'm drinking, and have something on the side. Though these days, I don't drink as much as I used to. Just occasionally.
	9:15pm Arvo: I might have white wine with a lady some time, but not for a while...
	👻 9:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:15 That's probably more my speed these days.
	9:19pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Buck sounds like he's entitled
	👻 9:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:19 He's not used to anyone saying no to him, that's for sure.
	9:20pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Song: "Have A Drink On Me" by "Hayseed Dixie" Interesting take
	👻 9:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:20 I feel like this was at the peak of that trend, where there was a "bluegrass" version of everything on the planet. The "Fade to Bluegrass" Metallica album comes to mind...
	9:22pm Mr. X: reprobate...good word
	👻 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:22 We need to make a list of "Human Dinosaur" words, for future songs.
	9:23pm laurapanic: wait....you can own a TRAIN?
	9:23pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:21 it was never enjoyable
	👻 9:24pm Austin Rich: My brother's name is Buck. My dad, after some western he was a fan of, wanted to be named Buck. So he told my mom that I would be named Buck. My mom kindly said, "Oh, I'll name the first one. You can name the second," thinking he would forget. He didn't.
	👻 9:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:23 When you're actually rich, and it's not just your name, you can own anything. And that's the problem.
	9:26pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:24 I knew a kid whose first and middle names were Zane Gray. He wound up being a bartender in Miami.
	👻 9:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:26 As a bookstore employee, I can tell you: the average age of anyone who even knows who Zane Gray is happens to be over 45, at least, and anyone reading is probably in their 60s, at least. Not a lot of people will even know who he is, soon.
	9:29pm Krys O.: Fading fast. G'night, all! Take care.
	👻 9:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Armed Robbery" by "Dot Vaeth Group" Parents In The 80s: "Punk is Dangerous!" Parents Now: "Oh! How Quaint! An old punk song!"
	👻 9:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:29 Sleep well!
	9:32pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Loving the mix of music and storytelling
	9:32pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:29 Tobi Vail: "Yr so not dangerous/Yr not what you say you are at all"
	9:34pm Aitch: ... and lurkers...
	9:36pm Mr. X: ↳ Mr. X @9:26 Oops, spelled Zane Grey. I read Riders of the Purple Sage when I was a teen, and it was okay, but that was enough Zane Grey for me. It's kind of anti-Mormon. Which they probably deserved. But still, kind of an uncomfortable stance for the best selling Western of all time.
	9:36pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: And what a future it is
	9:36pm coelacanth∅: no sooner'n you say yer a lurker y'ain't no lurker no more oops
	👻 9:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:36 #TruthBomb
	👻 9:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:36 I feel like Westerns did better on screen, when you could show those wide open spaces.
	9:40pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:39 So what was the basis of your dad's obsession with Westerns to the point that he had to name his kids with Western-style handles?
	9:41pm coelacanth∅: is this prairie music or mountain music?!
	9:42pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:39 Best as movies of course.
	👻 9:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:40 I think he just grew up at a time that Westerns were very popular, and he saw a lot of them. But its' funny: we never watched them when I was growing up. He just seemed to have a lot of fond memories of them.
	👻 9:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:41 A blend, really.
	👻 9:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "You Gotta Wait (Live)" by "The Juanita Family & F... Another band I engineered, for my show, back in 2005. I often didn't have an engineer in spite of booking one, so I eventually figured out how to do it myself. Here's the whole show, when I had them on in 2005. Most of the band is comprised of members of different Portland Heavy Metal Bands; Lana Rebel, the singer, was known as the bass player / singer for "Last of the Juanitas," before this. midvalleymutations.com...
	👻 9:46pm Heather Z: Howdy all! I was delayed in a bit of an altercation with some agents sniffing around the still while I filled the moonshine canteens but a swift kick from Old Scratch sent em on their way. Anyone care for a swig?
	👻 9:46pm Austin Rich: I'm not 100% sure if that link works.... Try this one... I think the link has two live sets, from bands that were on my show. midvalleymutations.com...
	👻 9:47pm Austin Rich: (I need to do some link clean-up on my blogs... damn. Half of them do not work.)
	👻 9:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:46 Thanks for droppin' in!
	9:48pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Daddy Buck Walton" by "Frontier Gentleman" They just reverse engineered the train.
	👻 9:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:48 Zing!
	9:49pm coelacanth∅: eh eh... and then along came Jones
	👻 9:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Train I Ride" by "Doo Rag" One of THE BEST albums of 1994, hands down.
	9:50pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:49 Tall, thin Jones
	9:50pm coelacanth∅: hey Heather! 'got my own jar but we can trade swigs!
	9:51pm coelacanth∅: ...slow talkin' Jones
	👻 9:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:50 The old west version of when hippies "swap bowls."
	👻 9:51pm Heather Z: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:50 Gladly! Here ye be! Fresh from the still.
	9:51pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:51 Low talking Jones
	9:52pm coelacanth∅: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:51 ah i screwed it up! slow walkin' Jones!
	👻 9:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:52 We forgive you.
	9:53pm laurapanic: "What am I gonna do with a train?" GOOD LORD MAN USE YOUR IMAGINATION !! YOU WILL HAVE A MOTHERFUCKING TRAIN!!!!!
	👻 9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "The Lord Knows I'm Drinking" by "Cal Smith" A record I saved from a box of singles my mom was gonna get rid of, at one point. The record is messed up, but I did the best transfer I could.
	👻 9:54pm Heather Z: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:52 Blame it on the moonshine! That stuff packs a wallop!!
	9:54pm Mr. X: ↳ laurapanic @9:53 Right?
	👻 9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:53 Yeah. I thought the show was gonna go in a different direction, after this.
	👻 9:54pm Heather Z: ↳ laurapanic @9:53 Ah, that got a laugh out of me!!!
	9:55pm coelacanth∅: ↳ laurapanic @9:53 hahaha!
	9:57pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Probably sold to some guy named Casey
	9:57pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "The Lord Knows I'm Drinking" by "Cal Smith" reminds me of one of my favorite Johnny Cash songs,"no earthly good"... which i think i've referenced during this show before, for some reason
	10:01pm coelacanth∅: old title: "moonshiner's daughter marries the former priest". new title: "I.M. me NOW! OMG! lol".
	10:02pm WR: Rich in Washington in the WFMU drummer stream. wfmu.org...
	10:03pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I did one Imaginos fanfiction that has a train scene when he travels from New Hampshire to Texas.
	👻 10:04pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @10:02 Thank you, WR! On the Drummer stream. Rich is an excellent DJ, and hosted me as a guest on his show, well before I ever knew about Sheena's. A great DJ. So much fun to listen to!
	10:05pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "The Cheyenne Theme Song" by "William Lava & Stan ... French horns are essential to that Western theme song sound.
	👻 10:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:05 I was thinking about how important horns are to the sound... of the old west... and it's just funny.
	👻 10:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Stormy" by "The Wipers" One of the most underrated Wipers records. After Nirvana made famous a cover version of a Wipers song, they were offered a chance to make a new album, after a lot of indifference from the press. So, rather than do a rockin' "grunge" album, like the Nirvana cover, they did a very morose, mellow album, "Silver Sail," which is beautiful, but was not popular. Then he put out this record, one of the best later-period Wipers records... that was almost completely overlooked, because the previous album was a bomb.
	10:09pm Mr. X: Lots of Portland bands tonight.
	👻 10:10pm Austin Rich: I've done a lot of cool things in my life, and I don't have a lot of regrets (aside from not seeing the Ramones). But since I never earned a cool nickname like, "Hyena Bob," I feel like a bit of a failure. Like: what HAVE I done with my life?
	👻 10:11pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:09 It is what I cut my teeth on.
	10:11pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: First thing that comes to mind when I hear Deadwood is the Deadwoods Circus
	👻 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Wyoming" by "The-Front" I have a recording of this band playing this song on my show, but the album version is a little more coherent. (I'm not always good at mixing live music.) But The-Front was a lot of fun when they were on my show, and I love them.
	👻 10:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Wyoming" by "The-Front" I believe they were from Casper, Wyoming, and as they told it: one of perhaps two bands in town. They usually had to tour, just to find other bands to play with.
	👻 10:14pm Austin Rich: I like how The Frontier Gentleman gets drafted to work for Hyena Bob. And he doesn't question it! I love it.
	10:15pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Austin Rich @10:05 in a store in the early 1990s i was playing a tape of "native american" flute music that had a synthesizer on it and my co-worker said "oh yes the synthesizer was an important part of the landscape in the old west" (paraphrasing) - but the flute was played by a native navajo who composed and arranged the music. he wasn't going for "authenticity"!
	👻 10:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:15 Oooooo! I love tapes like that.
	10:16pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Medley: Dinner Music For A Pack Of Hungry Canniba... everything about the Warner Bros cartoons was marvellous
	👻 10:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Medley: Dinner Music For A Pack Of Hungry Canniba... When I first got this album, from my friend Semi-Colin, I essentially listened to in non-stop, for months. It was the soundtrack to that Spring / Summer, in 1996.
	👻 10:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ Aitch @10:16 And they get better with age!
	10:18pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Austin Rich @10:16 i went through a phase and kind of burned out on them!
	👻 10:18pm Heather Z: ↳ Aitch @10:16 A fireside topic brought up the other night was who would be hotter IRL, Popeye or Bugs Bunny. Anyone have opinions?
	👻 10:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:18 It's easy to do. I found a YouTube channel of a gent who digitizes / posts tapes like that, and it's pretty fun to dip in occasionally.
	10:19pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Heather Z @10:18 Bugs. Especially in drag.
	👻 10:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:18 Bugs, I think. He's already into drag and he's got that Groucho sense of humor.
	👻 10:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:18 Popeye is a philosopher, and possibly a good father... but not really what you're looking for, based on "hotness."
	10:20pm Mr. X: But Popeye has those fore-arms!
	10:20pm Aitch: ↳ Heather Z @10:18 Bugs looked cute in drag
	👻 10:20pm Heather Z: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:19 That was my immediate response! "The charisma.... and he does drag."
	10:21pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Heather Z @10:18 bugs can be a bit effeminate at times - something i prefer in a male!
	10:21pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Aitch @10:20 Especially as a Valkyrie.
	👻 10:21pm Austin Rich: This is well-trod territory; I think "Red Dwarf" covered the "Bugs is Hot" subject in their show, twice.
	👻 10:22pm Heather Z: ↳ Mr. X @10:20 None of us around the fire would kick Popeye out for eating crackers in bed, that's for sure. But we had to choose one and Bugs was it.
	👻 10:22pm Austin Rich: I appreciate that Hyena Bob wouldn't give up the recipe. He's my favorite character so far, by far.
	👻 10:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:22 Robin Williams / Popeye, Animated Cartoon Popeye, or Thimble Theater / Comic Strip Popeye?
	10:24pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Cigarettes, Whiskey and Wild, Wild Women" by "Buc... Red Ingle does this.
	10:24pm Aitch: but what did they put in the spinach?
	👻 10:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Cigarettes, Whiskey and Wild, Wild Women" by "Buc... This sounds like the perfect woman. I have no idea what these guys are complaining about.
	10:24pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:23 Anything the Fleischer Bros did became the best version.
	👻 10:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:24 I figured Buck Owens couldn't have been the first.
	👻 10:24pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:23 The question was classic cartoons only so animated! Re Red Dwarf, I'll mention that next fire! None of us knew that Bugs is Hot is an actual thing! Except that he simply is.
	👻 10:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:24 Good Point! Those early cartoons are excellent!
	10:25pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Mr Fab @10:24 Awesome animation. Loved their earlier work.
	10:25pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Cigarettes, Whiskey and Wild, Wild Women" by "Buc... the outfits?
	👻 10:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ Aitch @10:25 Yeah, don't stare at the album cover long... it only begs questions...
	10:26pm Mr Fab: ↳ Mr. X @10:24 I like how he spelled it: "Cigareetes, Whuskey, and Wild, Wild Women"
	10:26pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:25 Reminds me of the one man band scene in Mary Popping
	👻 10:27pm Austin Rich: "That tapeworm of mine." I had a roommate who would talk about his tapeworm.
	10:27pm Aitch: ↳ Austin Rich @10:27 Dune fan?
	👻 10:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Aitch @10:27 "Ride the tapeworm."
	👻 10:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Have Another Drink" by "MX-80" The best title for a live album.
	10:28pm Aitch: ↳ Austin Rich @10:28 this spice smells a bit off?
	10:28pm Mr. X: They're chugging more than water in Chugwater.
	10:29pm coelacanth∅: you gotta send some christmas packages down to give the tapeworm something constructive to do
	👻 10:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Have Another Drink" by "MX-80" Bruce Anderson, from MX-80, died earlier this year. A tremendous guitar player.
	10:29pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:28 Ever hear of Doon by Harvard Lampoon
	👻 10:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:29 I'll have to look that up! We are big Dune fans in this house.
	10:31pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: National rather. Harvard did Bored of the Rings
	10:34pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: en.m.wikipedia.org...
	10:34pm coelacanth∅: i don't really see any way for this story to go except the bad guy coming down with debilitation explosive diarrhea
	10:35pm coelacanth∅: ...and then Alien bursting through his abdomen.
	👻 10:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:35 We should have been writing this show!
	👻 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:34 The only one of those books I was familiar with was "Bored of The Rings."
	10:37pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:35 Follow by either terror or a song and dance
	10:38pm Arvo: HI Heather! Some nice tunes here...
	10:39pm coelacanth∅: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:37 ding-dong the witch is dead?!
	10:39pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:35 If we did I think Kendall keeping the train would have been a good idea.
	👻 10:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:38 "Some nice tunes here. It would be a shame if someone were to... re-mix them!"
	10:39pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "The Great Gambler" by "Dan the Automator & DJ Sha... This is wild. I mostly know DJ Shadow through his work with UNKLE.
	👻 10:39pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @10:38 Hi Arvo!! Super good tunes and story!!
	👻 10:40pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:39 This album was our "party" record for a while, in the late 90's / early 00's. The Ramen City Kid had it, and would play it ALL the time.
	10:40pm Arvo: JESSICA RABBIT
	👻 10:41pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @10:40 I meannnn....
	👻 10:41pm Austin Rich: "Thunder and Lightning." Nice euphemism.
	10:42pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Uh oh. Fate is in the cards.
	👻 10:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:42 <taps side of nose>
	10:43pm laurapanic: there are some mighty flowery ways of being rude in the frontier times
	👻 10:43pm Austin Rich: Again: Hyena Bob, on step ahead.
	👻 10:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:43 You gotta get to a 300 level with florid language before they even let you into the Old West. There's a lot of pre-requisites.
	👻 10:45pm Austin Rich: The Frontier "One Punch" Gentleman.
	👻 10:46pm Austin Rich: A man... bottling his feelings... acting out... wow... this is such an unusual, strange story. (wink)
	10:46pm Mr. X: Webster has PTSD.
	👻 10:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Part Fourteen: Chugwater Station" The original title for this episode is "Cannibal." But I figured it was better to not reveal that secret until now...
	10:50pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:49 Based on All Packerd?
	👻 10:50pm Heather Z: Hey, it's Nartin Mule!!
	👻 10:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Broken Dreams For Boys" by "The Cleaners From Venus" Heather and I are sitting on a great interview with Martin Newell / The Cleaners From Venus. I should air that soon.
	👻 10:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:50 Maybe? I'm not familiar with that story.
	👻 10:51pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:50 He was so gracious. Lovely talented fellow.
	10:51pm Mr. X: Let's have a Donner Party!

	👻 10:53pm Heather Z: Haaaa!! Everyone is dancing now!
	👻 10:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Blister in the Sun" by "Violent Femmes" The album that crosses into every social circle imaginable. All the punks and the goth kids and the weirdos and the hippies... all had this album.
	10:54pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Blister in the Sun" by "Violent Femmes" Saw them when this was new, playing at my Uni. Great night
	10:55pm coelacanth∅: Excellent story! and i have personal experience with people THAT sick.
	10:55pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Ever read the EC comic story about the crash survivor who kept saying "I hate her". But it turns out he wasn't saying hate?

	10:59pm coelacanth∅: rains HARD here ~5x/week now. mold everywhere. ...rains inside too, but that's another story.
	👻 11:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:59 I'll trade a little of your rain for a little of our sunshine! The weather exchange program. I love it.
	👻 11:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Cannibal" by "Job's Daughters" This band is essentially, "Thinking Fellers Union Local 282," a band I adore. (And never got to see.) But I have seen, "White Shark Shivers," which is essentially the remaining members in a new incarnation. But I always appreciated this permutation, "Job's Daughters," mostly because I was always fascinated by what could possibly happen at real life "Job's Daughters" meetings.
	11:02pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Austin Rich @11:00 'should work
