	9:12pm Imaginos: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:11 Ahoy! Counting down to the Imaginos concert
	9:13pm Imaginos: 22 days
	👻 9:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:12 I bet you are!
	👻 9:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Eating For Two" by "Nicole Panter" One of my all time fave 7" records. Nicole is a fantastic story teller.
	9:16pm Mr Fab: ↳ Imaginos @9:12 You’re giving a concert? Wow, cool, what kind of stuff do you play?
	👻 9:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:16 Hooray! It's Mr. Fab!
	9:17pm WR: Excellent comment about when one thinks they know of all the pockets of unique and weird recordings then a WFMU host opens the door to a corner one never imagined existed.
	9:17pm Imaginos: ↳ Mr Fab @9:16 No Albert Bouchard is giving a concert
	9:18pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Austin Rich @9:15 her voice reminds me of wfmu's Carol Crow
	👻 9:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @9:17 It happens so often! I tune into a show I'm unfamiliar with, and suddenly I've made so many discoveries!
	9:18pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Eating For Two" by "Nicole Panter" I don’t know about this! Wow, gotta check that out. She was manager of the germs, featuring Sheena’s own Don Bolles a.k.a. Kitten Sparkles. Well, as much as a band like that could be “managed.”
	9:18pm Aitch: making me hungry
	👻 9:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:18 These recordings are her reading selections from her short story collection, "Mr. Right On & Other Stories," which I also recommend! It's a great read!
	👻 9:19pm ramencity: If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Austin was penpals w Nicole Panter once?
	9:19pm Mr Fab: ↳ Imaginos @9:17 Eh? You said “Imaginos” and you are Imaginos. Right?
	👻 9:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:19 I was! It's been a while since we corresponded, but we traded a lot of e-mail way back when. She's a college professor, and was very open to questions about writing.
	9:21pm Imaginos: ↳ Mr Fab @9:19 I named myself after the character created by Sandy Pearlman
	9:21pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Imaginos @9:12 aloha Imaginos!
	9:22pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @9:20 Since I’m not familiar with her writing, she would probably hate that I would pepper her with questions about the germs, and her husband the great artist Gary panter. I think he won an Emmy for his designs on “peewees playhouse.”
	9:22pm Mr Fab: ↳ Imaginos @9:21 I’m totally lost, but don’t mind me!
	👻 9:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:22 Oh, I asked her plenty of that stuff too! I found her because I was a young Germs nerd, and she had a public e-mail in the late 90's, and was very patient with me.
	9:24pm Will thee Sound Guy: Hi Austin Rich and all!!
	👻 9:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @9:24 Will thee Sound Guy! Now the show will sound better!
	9:26pm Imaginos: ↳ Mr Fab @9:22 It gets very confusing
	9:27pm davefromtoronto: ↳ Song: "Hit The Road Jack" by "The Residents" this has an "evil dead" vibe
	👻 9:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ davefromtoronto @9:27 It sort of does! Good pull!
	9:28pm Imaginos: Excellent
	9:29pm Will thee Sound Guy: pretty rad
	9:34pm Will thee Sound Guy: off to the next place!!! Happy Birthday to your friend!!!
	👻 9:34pm ramencity: I am gruntled with sequiturs.
	👻 9:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:34 Aren't we all gruntled? At least, a little bit?
	9:35pm Krys O.: You make excellent radio, Austin! Thanks!
	👻 9:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:35 That's really sweet Krys! Thanks! You make some pretty fantastic radio, too!
	9:37pm Imaginos: The cat is demanding silence. Too bad for her
	👻 9:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:37 Cats are so demanding! Our boys were being very difficult today.
	👻 9:38pm ramencity: oooh shipping forecast samples!
	👻 9:39pm Austin Rich: "Why can't I make some friends..."
	👻 9:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:38 That's always the sign of quality.
	9:40pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:39 You can, but you'll need a shovel
	👻 9:40pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:40 A little from this plot, and little from that plot... it's like writing, really.
	9:41pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:40 How well I know
	9:42pm coelacanth∅: Austin did you just change the entree in the artist column for this track? (or did i really imagine it read "Dick Hunt")
	9:43pm Imaginos: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:42 It says Duck Hunt here
	9:44pm davefromtoronto: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:42 freudian slip lol
	👻 9:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:42 I don't believe so, but aren't we all hunting for a variety of d words, depending on mood?
	9:46pm davefromtoronto: he's got a brother named mike i've heard.
	9:46pm coelacanth∅: it does here too...but a glance before told my brain something else ...davefromtoronto haha yeh
	👻 9:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ davefromtoronto @9:46 I've heard a lot about that Mike over the years. But I've never seen hide nor hair of him. I keep searching... even hunting, one might say.
	9:48pm davefromtoronto: he specializes in deep cuts...
	👻 9:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "A City in the Sea" by "Esperik Glare feat. Monte ... Unfortunately, Monte Cazazza passed away this year. He was probably best known for his work with Psychic TV, but he recorded solo, and was a great experimental artist for most of his life. I got to play a couple shows where we were both on the bill. We'll miss you, Monte Cazazza!
	👻 9:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "A City in the Sea" by "Esperik Glare feat. Monte ... I think that's Monte reading the Edgar Allen Poe, but I'm not 100% sure...
	9:51pm Imaginos: Going to turn in soon
	👻 9:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:51 Sleep well! We'll see ya around next time!
	9:52pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:52 Thank you
	9:52pm Mr. X: Almost forgot it's Tuesday. Hi, everyone!
	👻 9:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:52 Mr. X! Better late than never!
	9:53pm coelacanth∅: sweet dreams Imaginos. ...and i'd love to sleep right now, but instead going to work in an hour.
	👻 9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:53 Bummer! Hopefully these sweet songs will get you... pumped for work?
	👻 9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Fuck You Punk Rock / 77" by "Nicole Panter" This piece sort of makes me tear up.
	👻 9:55pm ramencity: ↳ Austin Rich @9:49 Oh, I didn't know he'd died - we should've had him on the RIP show! I recognize his name from old Subterranean catalogs
	👻 9:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:55 I only found out a bit ago myself.
	👻 9:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Descent (Side A)" by "Formaldehydra" I couldn't find this one on discogs, and Formaldehydra doesn't have it listed on their bandcamp... so I'm sort of guessing on the date.
	9:58pm Mr. X: The Star Wars backdrop is really getting a workout this evening.
	👻 9:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:58 It plays many roles.
	👻 10:02pm ramencity: BCO: Bachman Churner Overdryve?
	10:03pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Woman of The Year" by "Exene Cervenka & Paul Ackl... Austin's interview with Exene: blasphuphmusradio.wordpress.com... & blasphuphmus.valquez.com...
	👻 10:05pm Heather Z: Thank you for the dedication! I've been tuned in and doing crafts (and not watching movies) as is my wont! Awesome show as always!!
	👻 10:08pm ramencity: ok, I'm off on a 7" Dick Hunt -- errm, I mean, I'm off to see Codeine. Happy Rest of the Show!
	👻 10:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:08 Codeine! Jealous!
	10:10pm davefromtoronto: hey this guy's talking about duck hunting...
	👻 10:10pm Heather Z: ↳ Heather Z @10:05 The irony isn't lost on me that I'm smiling and nodding yes to the true and poignant spoken word about the punk scene while applying little plastic jewels to my diamond painting of a colorful deer. We all contain multitudes.
	👻 10:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ davefromtoronto @10:10 Sometimes, I try to connect the dots.
	10:11pm Parq: Hello to Austin and assorted Mutants. Listening for the second week, digging what I'm hearing.
	👻 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Parq @10:11 Parq! Thanks for dropping in. Hopefully all the stories are working for you!
	10:12pm davefromtoronto: ↳ Austin Rich @10:10 you're nothing if not subtle.
	👻 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ davefromtoronto @10:12 I try. (While wearing a Santa hat, screaming about the government?)
	👻 10:17pm Austin Rich: As someone who lived near a Golf Course in High School and often went there to make out with my girlfriend at night, this section seems a little close to home.
	👻 10:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "B1 (untitled)" by "Forrest Friends" I wanted to play the A side of this record, but for some reason, it is completely un-playable. It is a lathe-cut record, so my suspicion is that the A side is not well cut; I can't get any needle to thread that groove, so I'll never know what "A1 (untitled)" sounds like.
	10:23pm WR: ↳ Song: "The Baby" by "Nicole Panter" was riveted listening to that.
	👻 10:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @10:23 If I recall: that is the only story on the record that is not in her short-story collection, either. So you have to listen to the record to hear it.
	👻 10:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @10:23 I really enjoy her writing. It's like no one else I can think of, except maybe some essays I've ready by Alice Bag... and even those are only sort of similar.
	👻 10:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "I Remember Us Naked (Blues Version)" by "Post-Mat... This Russian lathe-cut record is actually cut into a plastic disposable plate... like you would use for a public get-together... that has been "sheered" into a circle. This is the third time I've played it, and this is probably the best sounding I've ever managed to get it.
	👻 10:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:28 I'm glad I got a good transfer this time, because I worry that it's just rotting away in my collection.
	10:35pm coelacanth∅: i've heard of asian women on the telephone. maybe been played on fmu?
	10:38pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:28 Sun City Girls has a track called Asian Women on the Telephone.
	👻 10:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:38 Yes, that's true! I knew there was something I was forgetting.
	👻 10:41pm Austin Rich: I engineered this appearance of them on "What's This Called?" hosted by Ricardo Wang: blasphuphmusradio.wordpress.com...
	👻 10:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Somewhere Towers Materialize" by "...Worms" I saw this band once, during the brief period they were a band. They might have even only been around long enough to play that summer....
	10:47pm davefromtoronto: that's just what i need - a flock interested in my setup
	👻 10:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ davefromtoronto @10:47 Yeah. That's no good, boss.
	👻 10:52pm Austin Rich: "...unmolested by any good samaritans..."
	👻 10:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "In The Waking (Forest Embers Mix)" by "People Lik... I get this song stuck in my head. I love People Like Us! She is one of the few artists who I just blindly support each of her new projects, before knowing what it is. I know I will like it; she's that good, every time.
	👻 10:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "In The Waking (Forest Embers Mix)" by "People Lik... Not long ago I got a 12" from People Like Us / Ergo Phizmiz, and I wanted to play that... but it's a 12", so... next time.
	10:55pm davefromtoronto: is this melody from a soap opera?
	10:55pm coelacanth∅: out. Thanks Austin! 'night all
	👻 10:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ davefromtoronto @10:55 "A Summer Wind," I think is the tune?
	👻 10:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:55 See ya next time, coelacanthø!
	👻 10:56pm Heather Z: This is beautiful!! Getting toward that time so I'll say thanks for another great show, Austin, and have a lovely night, all!
	10:56pm davefromtoronto: yeah i couldn't place it.
	👻 10:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:55 "A Summer Place," pardon.
	10:57pm davefromtoronto: hey super fun show thanks!
	👻 10:57pm Austin Rich: ↳ davefromtoronto @10:57 Thank you! I had fun pulling all the records for it.
	👻 10:58pm Austin Rich: Gonna go a little over...
	11:00pm WR: Thank you! Austin!
	👻 11:05pm Austin Rich: Thank you everyone! I do love the lyrics to this song. Mecca Normal are underrated.
	11:06pm Mr. X: Wasn't I just mentioning Jean Smith's paintings?
	👻 11:06pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @11:06 I think you were!
	11:07pm Mr. X: Great show again, Austin. Thanks!
	11:07pm davefromtoronto: the art of duck calling. words to live by.
	👻 11:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ davefromtoronto @11:07 Some Calls Need to be LOUD.

Mid-Valley Mutations with Austin Rich: Playlist from December 5, 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

	👻 9:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:35 That's really sweet Krys! Thanks! You make some pretty fantastic radio, too!
	9:37pm Imaginos: The cat is demanding silence. Too bad for her
	👻 9:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:37 Cats are so demanding! Our boys were being very difficult today.
	👻 9:38pm ramencity: oooh shipping forecast samples!
	👻 9:39pm Austin Rich: "Why can't I make some friends..."
	👻 9:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:38 That's always the sign of quality.
	9:40pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:39 You can, but you'll need a shovel
	👻 9:40pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:40 A little from this plot, and little from that plot... it's like writing, really.
	9:41pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:40 How well I know
	9:42pm coelacanth∅: Austin did you just change the entree in the artist column for this track? (or did i really imagine it read "Dick Hunt")
	9:43pm Imaginos: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:42 It says Duck Hunt here
	9:44pm davefromtoronto: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:42 freudian slip lol
	👻 9:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:42 I don't believe so, but aren't we all hunting for a variety of d words, depending on mood?
	9:46pm davefromtoronto: he's got a brother named mike i've heard.
	9:46pm coelacanth∅: it does here too...but a glance before told my brain something else ...davefromtoronto haha yeh
	👻 9:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ davefromtoronto @9:46 I've heard a lot about that Mike over the years. But I've never seen hide nor hair of him. I keep searching... even hunting, one might say.
	9:48pm davefromtoronto: he specializes in deep cuts...
	👻 9:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "A City in the Sea" by "Esperik Glare feat. Monte ... Unfortunately, Monte Cazazza passed away this year. He was probably best known for his work with Psychic TV, but he recorded solo, and was a great experimental artist for most of his life. I got to play a couple shows where we were both on the bill. We'll miss you, Monte Cazazza!
	👻 9:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "A City in the Sea" by "Esperik Glare feat. Monte ... I think that's Monte reading the Edgar Allen Poe, but I'm not 100% sure...

	9:53pm coelacanth∅: sweet dreams Imaginos. ...and i'd love to sleep right now, but instead going to work in an hour.
	👻 9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:53 Bummer! Hopefully these sweet songs will get you... pumped for work?
	👻 9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Fuck You Punk Rock / 77" by "Nicole Panter" This piece sort of makes me tear up.
	👻 9:55pm ramencity: ↳ Austin Rich @9:49 Oh, I didn't know he'd died - we should've had him on the RIP show! I recognize his name from old Subterranean catalogs
	👻 9:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:55 I only found out a bit ago myself.
	👻 9:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Descent (Side A)" by "Formaldehydra" I couldn't find this one on discogs, and Formaldehydra doesn't have it listed on their bandcamp... so I'm sort of guessing on the date.
	9:58pm Mr. X: The Star Wars backdrop is really getting a workout this evening.
	👻 9:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:58 It plays many roles.
	👻 10:02pm ramencity: BCO: Bachman Churner Overdryve?
	10:03pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Woman of The Year" by "Exene Cervenka & Paul Ackl... Austin's interview with Exene: blasphuphmusradio.wordpress.com... & blasphuphmus.valquez.com...
	👻 10:05pm Heather Z: Thank you for the dedication! I've been tuned in and doing crafts (and not watching movies) as is my wont! Awesome show as always!!
	👻 10:08pm ramencity: ok, I'm off on a 7" Dick Hunt -- errm, I mean, I'm off to see Codeine. Happy Rest of the Show!
	👻 10:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:08 Codeine! Jealous!
	10:10pm davefromtoronto: hey this guy's talking about duck hunting...
	👻 10:10pm Heather Z: ↳ Heather Z @10:05 The irony isn't lost on me that I'm smiling and nodding yes to the true and poignant spoken word about the punk scene while applying little plastic jewels to my diamond painting of a colorful deer. We all contain multitudes.
	👻 10:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ davefromtoronto @10:10 Sometimes, I try to connect the dots.
	10:11pm Parq: Hello to Austin and assorted Mutants. Listening for the second week, digging what I'm hearing.
	👻 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Parq @10:11 Parq! Thanks for dropping in. Hopefully all the stories are working for you!
	10:12pm davefromtoronto: ↳ Austin Rich @10:10 you're nothing if not subtle.
	👻 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ davefromtoronto @10:12 I try. (While wearing a Santa hat, screaming about the government?)
	👻 10:17pm Austin Rich: As someone who lived near a Golf Course in High School and often went there to make out with my girlfriend at night, this section seems a little close to home.
	👻 10:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "B1 (untitled)" by "Forrest Friends" I wanted to play the A side of this record, but for some reason, it is completely un-playable. It is a lathe-cut record, so my suspicion is that the A side is not well cut; I can't get any needle to thread that groove, so I'll never know what "A1 (untitled)" sounds like.
	10:23pm WR: ↳ Song: "The Baby" by "Nicole Panter" was riveted listening to that.
	👻 10:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @10:23 If I recall: that is the only story on the record that is not in her short-story collection, either. So you have to listen to the record to hear it.
	👻 10:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @10:23 I really enjoy her writing. It's like no one else I can think of, except maybe some essays I've ready by Alice Bag... and even those are only sort of similar.
	👻 10:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "I Remember Us Naked (Blues Version)" by "Post-Mat... This Russian lathe-cut record is actually cut into a plastic disposable plate... like you would use for a public get-together... that has been "sheered" into a circle. This is the third time I've played it, and this is probably the best sounding I've ever managed to get it.
	👻 10:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:28 I'm glad I got a good transfer this time, because I worry that it's just rotting away in my collection.
	10:35pm coelacanth∅: i've heard of asian women on the telephone. maybe been played on fmu?
	10:38pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:28 Sun City Girls has a track called Asian Women on the Telephone.
	👻 10:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:38 Yes, that's true! I knew there was something I was forgetting.
	👻 10:41pm Austin Rich: I engineered this appearance of them on "What's This Called?" hosted by Ricardo Wang: blasphuphmusradio.wordpress.com...
	👻 10:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Somewhere Towers Materialize" by "...Worms" I saw this band once, during the brief period they were a band. They might have even only been around long enough to play that summer....
	10:47pm davefromtoronto: that's just what i need - a flock interested in my setup
	👻 10:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ davefromtoronto @10:47 Yeah. That's no good, boss.
	👻 10:52pm Austin Rich: "...unmolested by any good samaritans..."
	👻 10:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "In The Waking (Forest Embers Mix)" by "People Lik... I get this song stuck in my head. I love People Like Us! She is one of the few artists who I just blindly support each of her new projects, before knowing what it is. I know I will like it; she's that good, every time.
	👻 10:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "In The Waking (Forest Embers Mix)" by "People Lik... Not long ago I got a 12" from People Like Us / Ergo Phizmiz, and I wanted to play that... but it's a 12", so... next time.
	10:55pm davefromtoronto: is this melody from a soap opera?
	10:55pm coelacanth∅: out. Thanks Austin! 'night all
	👻 10:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ davefromtoronto @10:55 "A Summer Wind," I think is the tune?
	👻 10:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:55 See ya next time, coelacanthø!
	👻 10:56pm Heather Z: This is beautiful!! Getting toward that time so I'll say thanks for another great show, Austin, and have a lovely night, all!
	10:56pm davefromtoronto: yeah i couldn't place it.
	👻 10:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:55 "A Summer Place," pardon.
	10:57pm davefromtoronto: hey super fun show thanks!
	👻 10:57pm Austin Rich: ↳ davefromtoronto @10:57 Thank you! I had fun pulling all the records for it.
	👻 10:58pm Austin Rich: Gonna go a little over...
	11:00pm WR: Thank you! Austin!
	👻 11:05pm Austin Rich: Thank you everyone! I do love the lyrics to this song. Mecca Normal are underrated.
	11:06pm Mr. X: Wasn't I just mentioning Jean Smith's paintings?
	👻 11:06pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @11:06 I think you were!
	11:07pm Mr. X: Great show again, Austin. Thanks!
	11:07pm davefromtoronto: the art of duck calling. words to live by.
