	9:07pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Doug Schulkind @9:07 Doug! Speaking of stupendous!
	9:08pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Monologue / Film" by "Norman Lear" This is sort of lost on radio but they're all shooting him dirty looks and gestures behind his back, hence the laughter.
	9:09pm ultradamno: By the way, another potential Marty Krofft tribute record www.discogs.com...
	9:10pm ultradamno: I'll say this for Lear, he was once more Bob Dobbs made flesh than even Hugh Beaumont mastodon.social...

	9:25pm Rich in Washington: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:23 apt description!
	9:27pm ironybread: Do you have the B-52s "Bouncing Off the Satellites" on vinyl? Last track on side 1 has great backmasking at the end
	9:28pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ironybread @9:27 I should check that out. the last B52s album I bought was Whammy and I liked it. I just didn't keep up with them for some dumb reason.
	9:31pm i am kurious .O.Rang: Well, I had missed the Witch Trials, but was on-board at Grotesque. Yet perhaps a bit green around the gills to fully grasp the gestalt. Yet by 1985’s This Nations Saving Grace i was locked & loaded. & it’s still the one that turns the crank! Favourite among many. What a run. Went back to appreciate Wonderful & Frightening and lurched forward infinity ♾️…!
	🥁 9:34pm Wendy del Formaggio: RICH! Hello to you and the listeners. I just tuned in.
	9:35pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:34 Wendy! Helloooo!
	9:35pm tom tom the pipers son: i'm introducing my therapist to 'new' music, she's basically a blank slate, didn't know who velvets were, suggested to listen to eno and tried to pick tracks off first four albums, but just said listen to the whole thing. she loved all of them
	🥁 9:35pm Wendy del Formaggio: Also, it was nice to briefly see you in your natural habitat at the meeting last night. I kept my video off because I was getting over a vicious stomach-bug and I felt / looked like hell.
	9:35pm Rich in Washington: ↳ i am kurious .O.Rang @9:31 Wonderful & Frightening was the gateway for me for Fall appreciation.
	9:36pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:35 That was a fun, brief meeting!

	🥁 9:38pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:37 Isn't that the punchline to "Waiter, there's a fly in my soup"?

	9:39pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Why God Made Hands" by "All In The Family Cast" i grew up w/ all in the family in syndication (well, mostly vhs tapes in japan)

	9:42pm tom tom the pipers son: tube tunes... who's all the way on the right
	9:43pm Rich in Washington: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:42 I think it's David Cassidy? Partridge Family?
	9:43pm northguineahills: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:39 they stopped at anaheim on the way over...(guess where they went when they went to paris)
	🥁 9:44pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:43 a decidedly sullen David there
	🥁 9:44pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @9:43 Um... Le Mac-Do? (Yes, I can guess where, but that's my second guess. haha)
	9:44pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:43 maybe, but looks a little chubby...(?) maybe freddie prinze
	9:46pm tom tom the pipers son: or did prinze have facial hair... enough on that
	9:46pm northguineahills: ok, done w/ doc 5/20 for HR. I might just finish by Sunday.. my thurs meeting went well. even though this will be a 'stop-gap' job, they are still paying me salary at the initial agreed terms for the permanent job, even though this is mostly data entry 28-35/hrs/week. i was told, "they don't want to lose me' waiting for the security clearance.
	🥁 9:47pm Wendy del Formaggio: AitF is WAY better lysergic.
	9:47pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @9:43 Hi ngh!

	🥁 9:49pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @9:48 Was it chicken parm?
	9:49pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:47 it's a wash, rich!
	9:49pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @9:48 there are no decent Italian restaurants near me.
	🥁 9:49pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:49 Same here. sobs
	🥁 9:50pm Wendy del Formaggio: The closest one is almost an hour away in Northampton, MA, and that's strictly a Southern Italian red-sauce joint. It's good, though.
	9:50pm Rich in Washington: Between Olive Garden and some really expensive boutique type Italian restaurants, there's nothing. The latter serve nice signature dishes but no real solid traditional dishes.
	9:51pm northguineahills: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:49 no, just a 'muricanized sub. (she has the palette of a four-year old and the imagination to match...(wait, four-year olds have great imaginations, scratch that, still wants to be disney princess... it's my job to keep my nieces to from becoming like their parents.
	9:52pm northguineahills: i suddenly have an inkling to hear some CBC radio plays...
	🥁 9:52pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @9:51 When I was four, I was eating snails in black bean sauce and hot peppers stuffed with shrimp paste at Hop Kee on Mott Street. True story.

	9:54pm northguineahills: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:52 when i was four, I begged my mother to get blue cheese at the grocery store. my mother would complain about the costs of my tastes...(it would get worst)
	🥁 9:55pm Wendy del Formaggio: If I had a nickel for every time I heard, "We're the only snake-handlers in Pittsburgh," I'd have... wait... I'm counting... 11.5-cents!
	9:56pm ironybread: ...and provided the impetus for Proctor & Bergman to name one of their stage plays "Clark Wintergreen, Clark Wintergreen"
	9:57pm tom tom the pipers son: mary hartman one of the all time greats
	9:58pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "The Snakehandling O'Sheas" by "Norman Lear" I can't believe Atlantic Records put out two of these. I can't believe I own them.
	10:00pm tom tom the pipers son: love the distortion on these
	10:01pm northguineahills: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:55 are there buffaloes or bees on those nickels?
	🥁 10:01pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @10:01 Yes!
	🥁 10:02pm Wendy del Formaggio: I shoulda called my radio show, "A Station Wagon Filled With Nuns."
	🥁 10:02pm Wendy del Formaggio: You're listening to A Station Wagon Filled With Nuns, on WFMU's Give the Drummer Radio.
	10:04pm northguineahills: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:01 jejejeje!
	🥁 10:05pm Wendy del Formaggio: As a public service to new DJs, we should compile a list of "good" names for radio shows. And yes, those scare-quotes are there on purpose.
	10:07pm tom tom the pipers son: these characters are indelible
	10:13pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Archie Meets Maude, Archie Meets Godzilla, etc." ... same arguments made by the GOP today,...
	10:13pm northguineahills: ↳ northguineahills @10:13 (about FDR)
	10:17pm northguineahills: 6/20 HR docs completed screams incoherently
	10:18pm ultradamno: I don't want Nuns unless they've got buns, hun (cinnamon rolls or something...)
	🥁 10:20pm Wendy del Formaggio: It's true about Sherman Helmsley. During one Jefferson's scene, Lionel is listening to... I think it's Gong... on a boombox.
	10:20pm northguineahills: i've read plenty of articles on helmsley about his love of prog rock (he was a musician in his own right)
	🥁 10:21pm Wendy del Formaggio: I'd look it up, but I'm covered in glue and X-Acto knives. Art project.
	10:21pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:20 Oh wow! I knew he was into it but didn't know it made its way to the TV show in any way.
	10:21pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Perpetual Motion II" by "Satoko Fujii & Otomo Yos... yoshihide inspired me to become a dj and whatever else i do....
	10:22pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:21 Oh nice! That's what I do radio for! For people to do art, taxidermy, etc.
	10:22pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @10:21 Otomo inspired me to pick up the guitar again after 25 years.
	10:23pm ironybread: a little clown car of raccoons just bopped past my apartment door, they're eating the buds that fell off the palm tree, which is great, really
	🥁 10:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:22 Yay! No taxidermy tonight. Currently working in paper and glue with some ink.
	10:24pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ironybread @10:23 I miss having critters around my home. I have the odd rabbit or crow but that's about it.
	10:25pm ironybread: I have Patchouli the Cat of Mystery as a regular guest, plus every few evenings I see my regular possum trundle by
	10:25pm Rich in Washington: Oh, ironybread, I don't know if you got the telegram but our beloved Sassy has ascended to the land of perpetually opening tuna cans. She loved you so.
	10:25pm ironybread: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:23 now I'm curious about your work, is it viewable anywhere?
	10:26pm ironybread: Oh dear, I'm so sorry Rich, Sassy was a sassy one!
	🥁 10:27pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ ironybread @10:25 Thanks, ironybread. Nope! I'm totally analogue. Well, I do have a few photos I can email you. I can also just mail you some of my art. I make it to give to people. Email me if yer interested.
	10:28pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ironybread @10:26 She was. She was also very old and feeble. She knew she was adored to the end. I'll miss her little plaintiff poke-pokes when she wanted to be petted.
	🥁 10:28pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:25 Oh, Rich, I'm sorry. May Sassy's memory be a blessing.
	10:29pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:28 Thanks! It was not unanticipated but still a bit of a gut punch. She was also the most talkative cat I've ever known.
	10:30pm DJ Peter: Hi Rich and everyone. Rich, very sorry to hear the news. Being anticipated does not make it easier.
	10:30pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Perpetual Motion II" by "Satoko Fujii & Otomo Yos... ok this got to whewre i thought it was going
	10:32pm Rich in Washington: ↳ DJ Peter @10:30 Hi DJ Peter! Thanks for the kind words!
	🥁 10:33pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:29 The time I cried the hardest in my life was when I was 23 and my little dog had to be put to sleep. It was the merciful thing to do, but it ripped right into my soul. I get it. You gave Sassy a good life and a lot of love. And she knew it. That's why she talked to you.
	10:34pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:33 Oh, that's always hard. Dang little creatures that just burrow into our hearts!
	10:35pm Rich in Washington: I think after the holidays I might start looking at adopting a cat. It's gonna have to be an older indoor kitty since i now live in the city.
	🥁 10:35pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:34 I know! Being all cute and fuzzy and warm like that.
	🥁 10:37pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Music For The Dance Bad Smells (Choreographed By ... A few bars in and I love this already.
	10:37pm ironybread: When pets go it just rips your face off, rips the top right off your chest. I can't be an adult about it at all! :(
	10:38pm northguineahills: In my first semester in college, my childhood dog got a tumor. a week before finals, i got a call from my mom, who sullenly told me they put my dog to sleep the week before, and didn't tell me until then b/c of my finals. I then told my mother my finals were the next week. (i was a wreck)
	10:39pm tom tom the pipers son: a favorite from way back the dance was shown on pbs in nyc
	10:40pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @10:38 Oh man. That's awful!
	10:40pm Rich in Washington: sudden urge to watch Errol Morris' Gates of Heaven.
	10:42pm ironybread: on the plus side, my neighbor across the court just came to my door and we talked about the mystery kitty - he's been letting her in at night, which is great! A bunch of neighbors are taking care of her in various ways and I imagine we'll be confabbing about it & making sure she's taken care of over the Xmas break
	10:43pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ironybread @10:42 My son and daughter-in-law have a wonderful mystery kitty in their apartment complex. I'm tempted to take her home but it seems like everyone there adores her.
	10:45pm ironybread: I want to present myself as a friendly face to all the animals I meet, which is why sometime in the next two years you will all read about how I was eaten by a moose.
	🥁 10:47pm Wendy del Formaggio: I'm still feeling a little droopy from this illness I'm mostly over, so I'm-a head to bed in a few minutes. Thanks for another fine evening of entertainment, Rich! Next time you see a station wagon full of nuns, think of me.
	10:48pm Rich in Washington: While I don't relish the thought of being painfully mauled and eaten by an animal, I would like to be eaten by some exotic animal. I mean, while a horrible way to go, you would be immortalized for generations. "...then there's great great uncle Richard, who was eaten by a panther..."
	10:48pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:47 Thanks for hangin', Wendy! Nice to see you!
	10:49pm northguineahills: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:47 night, wendy!
	10:50pm tom tom the pipers son: glenn branca, a quasi religious artist, idk i get heaven/ hell feelings from this
	🥁 10:51pm Wendy del Formaggio: Good night, dear Rich and ngh! (ngh, I almost used your legal name!)
	10:52pm northguineahills: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:51 everyone here already knows it 😜
	10:53pm ironybread: Cheers, cheesy Wendy!
	🥁 10:53pm Wendy del Formaggio: Aww... :-) Now I can go to sleep.
	10:58pm Rich in Washington: This comp will likely take the show to the end but it's a beaut.
	10:59pm tom tom the pipers son: velvet monkeys? a seattle band?
	11:00pm Rich in Washington: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:59 No. During Sub Pop's zine/cassette phase, the stuff on their comps was pretty far flung.
	11:00pm ultradamno: I always assumed east coast because Don Fleming and Shimmy Disc
	11:01pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:00 yes, see from second selection thx
	11:01pm coelacanth∅: good evening Rich and all
	11:01pm Rich in Washington: Sub Pop was also a column in Seattle alt/weekly The Rocket before becoming a label.
	11:02pm ironybread: wow, I'm totally hot for that Egoslavia LP now
	11:02pm Rich in Washington: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:01 Hi coel! How goes?
	11:02pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ ultradamno @11:00 right...
	11:03pm tom tom the pipers son: hi coelacanth...
	11:04pm ironybread: hey coel!
	11:04pm pot8o: anyone having an issue with the wfmu 45 adapters? mine seems to be a tad too small so i have some slight wow and flutter with mine nothing too severe, and i'm not particularly worried about it, but i'm just curious if anyone else has had a similar problem
	11:05pm ironybread: gosh, I didn't even know they offered them
	11:06pm Rich in Washington: I think Incredible Casuals is a B. Kliban reference but I'll have to consult my database.
	11:06pm pot8o: i got one during the marathon earlier this year, i think if you pledge $50 or more you get one
	11:07pm ironybread: one moment Rich, I have the resources to research that theory
	11:07pm northguineahills: so far, i'm only aware of the velvet monkeys, the rest are new to me...
	11:09pm northguineahills: ↳ pot8o @11:04 haven't been able to try mine out! (not turntables anymore (dad threw them out), and no access to my vinyl, yet) I start work in nyc exactly next month...
	11:09pm pot8o: im more interested on why these bands are so fixated at performing at retirement homes
	11:09pm Rich in Washington: I just now found that entire album on Bandcamp. See updated link.
	11:10pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @11:09 They wanted to suck their lifeforces without anyone knowing. I mean, old people die every day for no apparent outward cause.
	11:12pm ultradamno: ↳ pot8o @11:09 If the short term memories are bad enough, each new song is chance a making a good first impression
	11:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ pot8o @11:09 probably got inspiration from david greenberger's duplex planet
	11:15pm Rich in Washington: Weird. I can't make that link work for shit. Here, try this: thicksyruprecords.bandcamp.com...
	11:15pm coelacanth∅: hey tom tom, ironybread!
	11:16pm Rich in Washington: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:14 He produced the album that this came from.
	11:16pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "For You" by "Carsickness" vovals sound like psych furs
	11:16pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:16 that makes sense
	11:17pm coelacanth∅: ↳ pot8o @11:04 i haven't used mine but i noticed right away it's smaller than a 45 adapter. before seeing it i did plan to use it but i think it's just a collector item!
	11:21pm tom tom the pipers son: ha! the german army surplus tee on that girl, beautiful punk rock girls...
	11:22pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:17 especially JA dub 45s (which seem to be wider than other 45 holes)
	11:23pm Rich in Washington: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:21 Those shirts were ubiquitous in the 80s.
	11:23pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:23 yes
	11:25pm pot8o: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:17 i'm only using it because i left my normal 45 adapter at home, it does the job fairly well, you can only hear the wow & flutter on really long notes and even then it's really slight (i couldn't tell 100% for sure until i looked at it on a spectrogram)
	11:25pm Rich in Washington: my fave army surplus store used to have a huge wooden bin full of them. In fact, that store just closed last month after something like 76 years in business.
	11:26pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Love Is" by "Steve Fisk" Love this track so much.
	11:26pm coelacanth∅: ↳ northguineahills @11:22 ha that's funny... i don't have any 45s out of jamaica but i've noticed a slightly beyond average number of jamaican lps need the hole reamed out a bit!
	11:26pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:23 as opposed to the bundeswehr surplus jackets that were omnipresent in the 90s?
	11:27pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Random Swedish Radio" by "No Artist" so sub pop did radio eavesdropping before sublime frequencies...
	11:27pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:26 that too. I have some JA LPs where the spindle hole is off center, and another where the label comes over some of the grooves, it's so off center.
	11:27pm ultradamno: I remember AMA Dots and Dementia Precox both having kind of a legendary status around here when I first started going to punk shows...and neither having easily attainable documents to purchase ratcheting up the mystery around them.
	11:27pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @11:26 I have an old West German flecktarn pattern jacket and i love it. I don't wear it out much though.
	11:27pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:25 there was one near me a few towns over in the back of an antique shop, found a bundeswehr first aid kit from the mid-70s once, looked like it had never been used seller wanted like $100 for it so i never bought it
	11:28pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Love Is" by "Steve Fisk" ok, i actually have two steve fisk records...
	11:28pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @11:27 Yeah, Ama-Dots had a sort of anthology record out a couple of years ago.
	11:29pm Rich in Washington: I have tons of stuff with Fisk on it but only a few of his actual releases. I need to fix that.
	11:32pm ironybread: After I had my first lunch with Steve a few years ago I really wanted to hear all the Pell Mell stuff, I still haven't done so! Hope it's on YouTube
	11:35pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:28 There's a good, public access TV vid of them on the youtubes doing Contracts
	11:35pm coelacanth∅: ↳ northguineahills @11:27 yeah the off-centre labels! never had one so bad the stylus would touch it, but -close!
	11:37pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:35 that one became a great dj tool...
	11:37pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "No Cannibals On This Cul-De-Sac" by "Rich Jensen" this sounds like Torgo from Manos: Hands of Fate
	11:38pm pot8o: really good transition from punk to post-punk to stuff arb would play (can't really give it a genre other than "stuff i would hear on arb's show") over the course of this tape
	11:38pm ultradamno: Arbisonics
	11:40pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "My Dad Forgot His Rubber" by "Limp Richerds" neat...
	🥁 11:41pm Aitch: Lurking, been working on a project, a wide range of weird, most entertaining Rich.
	11:41pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @11:41 I hope it helps with your project!
	11:42pm tom tom the pipers son: sub pop graphic...charles burns?
	11:42pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "My Dad Forgot His Rubber" by "Limp Richerds" Rancid Vat was a pretty cool noise-ish outfit in the vein of LAFM/Smegma but soon turned into a rather silly punk band.
	11:42pm Rich in Washington: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:42 Yes.
	🥁 11:43pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:41 Pulled the modular apart and put it back together again, there'll be odd noises later, hopefully with the occasional awesome sound (going down)
	11:45pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @11:43 Oh nice!
	11:51pm ultradamno: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:42 Village Voice once made a Charles Burns Dilbert happen mastodon.social...
	11:51pm Rich in Washington: I got to meet Charles Burns once. Nice man.

The Radio Is Broken with Rich In Washington: Playlist from December 8, 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

	9:31pm i am kurious .O.Rang: Well, I had missed the Witch Trials, but was on-board at Grotesque. Yet perhaps a bit green around the gills to fully grasp the gestalt.

	10:35pm Rich in Washington: I think after the holidays I might start looking at adopting a cat. It's gonna have to be an older indoor kitty since i now live in the city.
	🥁 10:35pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:34 I know! Being all cute and fuzzy and warm like that.
	🥁 10:37pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Music For The Dance Bad Smells (Choreographed By ... A few bars in and I love this already.
	10:37pm ironybread: When pets go it just rips your face off, rips the top right off your chest. I can't be an adult about it at all! :(
	10:38pm northguineahills: In my first semester in college, my childhood dog got a tumor. a week before finals, i got a call from my mom, who sullenly told me they put my dog to sleep the week before, and didn't tell me until then b/c of my finals. I then told my mother my finals were the next week. (i was a wreck)
	10:39pm tom tom the pipers son: a favorite from way back the dance was shown on pbs in nyc
	10:40pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @10:38 Oh man. That's awful!
	10:40pm Rich in Washington: sudden urge to watch Errol Morris' Gates of Heaven.
	10:42pm ironybread: on the plus side, my neighbor across the court just came to my door and we talked about the mystery kitty - he's been letting her in at night, which is great! A bunch of neighbors are taking care of her in various ways and I imagine we'll be confabbing about it & making sure she's taken care of over the Xmas break
	10:43pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ironybread @10:42 My son and daughter-in-law have a wonderful mystery kitty in their apartment complex. I'm tempted to take her home but it seems like everyone there adores her.
	10:45pm ironybread: I want to present myself as a friendly face to all the animals I meet, which is why sometime in the next two years you will all read about how I was eaten by a moose.
	🥁 10:47pm Wendy del Formaggio: I'm still feeling a little droopy from this illness I'm mostly over, so I'm-a head to bed in a few minutes. Thanks for another fine evening of entertainment, Rich! Next time you see a station wagon full of nuns, think of me.
	10:48pm Rich in Washington: While I don't relish the thought of being painfully mauled and eaten by an animal, I would like to be eaten by some exotic animal. I mean, while a horrible way to go, you would be immortalized for generations. "...then there's great great uncle Richard, who was eaten by a panther..."
	10:48pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:47 Thanks for hangin', Wendy! Nice to see you!
	10:49pm northguineahills: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:47 night, wendy!
	10:50pm tom tom the pipers son: glenn branca, a quasi religious artist, idk i get heaven/ hell feelings from this
	🥁 10:51pm Wendy del Formaggio: Good night, dear Rich and ngh! (ngh, I almost used your legal name!)
	10:52pm northguineahills: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:51 everyone here already knows it 😜
	10:53pm ironybread: Cheers, cheesy Wendy!
	🥁 10:53pm Wendy del Formaggio: Aww... :-) Now I can go to sleep.
	10:58pm Rich in Washington: This comp will likely take the show to the end but it's a beaut.
	10:59pm tom tom the pipers son: velvet monkeys? a seattle band?
	11:00pm Rich in Washington: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:59 No. During Sub Pop's zine/cassette phase, the stuff on their comps was pretty far flung.
	11:00pm ultradamno: I always assumed east coast because Don Fleming and Shimmy Disc
	11:01pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:00 yes, see from second selection thx
	11:01pm coelacanth∅: good evening Rich and all
	11:01pm Rich in Washington: Sub Pop was also a column in Seattle alt/weekly The Rocket before becoming a label.
	11:02pm ironybread: wow, I'm totally hot for that Egoslavia LP now
	11:02pm Rich in Washington: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:01 Hi coel! How goes?
	11:02pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ ultradamno @11:00 right...
	11:03pm tom tom the pipers son: hi coelacanth...
	11:04pm ironybread: hey coel!
	11:04pm pot8o: anyone having an issue with the wfmu 45 adapters? mine seems to be a tad too small so i have some slight wow and flutter with mine nothing too severe, and i'm not particularly worried about it, but i'm just curious if anyone else has had a similar problem
	11:05pm ironybread: gosh, I didn't even know they offered them
	11:06pm Rich in Washington: I think Incredible Casuals is a B. Kliban reference but I'll have to consult my database.
	11:06pm pot8o: i got one during the marathon earlier this year, i think if you pledge $50 or more you get one
	11:07pm ironybread: one moment Rich, I have the resources to research that theory
	11:07pm northguineahills: so far, i'm only aware of the velvet monkeys, the rest are new to me...
	11:09pm northguineahills: ↳ pot8o @11:04 haven't been able to try mine out! (not turntables anymore (dad threw them out), and no access to my vinyl, yet) I start work in nyc exactly next month...
	11:09pm pot8o: im more interested on why these bands are so fixated at performing at retirement homes
	11:09pm Rich in Washington: I just now found that entire album on Bandcamp. See updated link.
	11:10pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @11:09 They wanted to suck their lifeforces without anyone knowing. I mean, old people die every day for no apparent outward cause.
	11:12pm ultradamno: ↳ pot8o @11:09 If the short term memories are bad enough, each new song is chance a making a good first impression
	11:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ pot8o @11:09 probably got inspiration from david greenberger's duplex planet
	11:15pm Rich in Washington: Weird. I can't make that link work for shit. Here, try this: thicksyruprecords.bandcamp.com...
	11:15pm coelacanth∅: hey tom tom, ironybread!
	11:16pm Rich in Washington: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:14 He produced the album that this came from.
	11:16pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "For You" by "Carsickness" vovals sound like psych furs
	11:16pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:16 that makes sense
	11:17pm coelacanth∅: ↳ pot8o @11:04 i haven't used mine but i noticed right away it's smaller than a 45 adapter. before seeing it i did plan to use it but i think it's just a collector item!
	11:21pm tom tom the pipers son: ha! the german army surplus tee on that girl, beautiful punk rock girls...
	11:22pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:17 especially JA dub 45s (which seem to be wider than other 45 holes)
	11:23pm Rich in Washington: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:21 Those shirts were ubiquitous in the 80s.
	11:23pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:23 yes
	11:25pm pot8o: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:17 i'm only using it because i left my normal 45 adapter at home, it does the job fairly well, you can only hear the wow & flutter on really long notes and even then it's really slight (i couldn't tell 100% for sure until i looked at it on a spectrogram)
	11:25pm Rich in Washington: my fave army surplus store used to have a huge wooden bin full of them. In fact, that store just closed last month after something like 76 years in business.
	11:26pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Love Is" by "Steve Fisk" Love this track so much.
	11:26pm coelacanth∅: ↳ northguineahills @11:22 ha that's funny... i don't have any 45s out of jamaica but i've noticed a slightly beyond average number of jamaican lps need the hole reamed out a bit!
	11:26pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:23 as opposed to the bundeswehr surplus jackets that were omnipresent in the 90s?
	11:27pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Random Swedish Radio" by "No Artist" so sub pop did radio eavesdropping before sublime frequencies...
	11:27pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:26 that too. I have some JA LPs where the spindle hole is off center, and another where the label comes over some of the grooves, it's so off center.
	11:27pm ultradamno: I remember AMA Dots and Dementia Precox both having kind of a legendary status around here when I first started going to punk shows...and neither having easily attainable documents to purchase ratcheting up the mystery around them.
	11:27pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @11:26 I have an old West German flecktarn pattern jacket and i love it. I don't wear it out much though.
	11:27pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:25 there was one near me a few towns over in the back of an antique shop, found a bundeswehr first aid kit from the mid-70s once, looked like it had never been used seller wanted like $100 for it so i never bought it
	11:28pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Love Is" by "Steve Fisk" ok, i actually have two steve fisk records...
	11:28pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @11:27 Yeah, Ama-Dots had a sort of anthology record out a couple of years ago.
	11:29pm Rich in Washington: I have tons of stuff with Fisk on it but only a few of his actual releases. I need to fix that.
	11:32pm ironybread: After I had my first lunch with Steve a few years ago I really wanted to hear all the Pell Mell stuff, I still haven't done so! Hope it's on YouTube
	11:35pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:28 There's a good, public access TV vid of them on the youtubes doing Contracts
	11:35pm coelacanth∅: ↳ northguineahills @11:27 yeah the off-centre labels! never had one so bad the stylus would touch it, but -close!
	11:37pm northguineahills: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:35 that one became a great dj tool...
	11:37pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "No Cannibals On This Cul-De-Sac" by "Rich Jensen" this sounds like Torgo from Manos: Hands of Fate
	11:38pm pot8o: really good transition from punk to post-punk to stuff arb would play (can't really give it a genre other than "stuff i would hear on arb's show") over the course of this tape
	11:38pm ultradamno: Arbisonics
	11:40pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "My Dad Forgot His Rubber" by "Limp Richerds" neat...
	🥁 11:41pm Aitch: Lurking, been working on a project, a wide range of weird, most entertaining Rich.
	11:41pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @11:41 I hope it helps with your project!
	11:42pm tom tom the pipers son: sub pop graphic...charles burns?
	11:42pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "My Dad Forgot His Rubber" by "Limp Richerds" Rancid Vat was a pretty cool noise-ish outfit in the vein of LAFM/Smegma but soon turned into a rather silly punk band.
	11:42pm Rich in Washington: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:42 Yes.
	🥁 11:43pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:41 Pulled the modular apart and put it back together again, there'll be odd noises later, hopefully with the occasional awesome sound (going down)
	11:45pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @11:43 Oh nice!
	11:51pm ultradamno: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:42 Village Voice once made a Charles Burns Dilbert happen mastodon.social...
	11:51pm Rich in Washington: I got to meet Charles Burns once. Nice man.
	11:54pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Virgin Boy" by "Magnétique Bleu" wrong, it's where the naked ladies dance! get your shit correct, rich!😜🤪
	11:55pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ ultradamno @11:51 nice cover and 2011!
	11:56pm northguineahills: thanks, rich. super awesome evening! enjoy your weekend!
	🥁 11:57pm WR: Hello Rich and folks. Started listening about 30 minutes ago. Wanted to review the playlist and all the comments before I wrote anything to avoid any redundancy. I think you've all covered it all. Thank you.
	11:57pm tom tom the pipers son: nice show rich, thanks for the early sub pop they were doing a public service
	11:57pm ironybread: There's a place in France / Where we know a guy named Vance
	11:57pm ironybread: Swell show tonight sir, and that was a great comp!
	11:58pm pot8o: thanks rich! have a great week everyone!
	🥁 11:58pm Aitch: Thanks Rich!
	11:59pm Rich in Washington: stupid CD with misnumbered tracklisting on the back!
	11:59pm Rich in Washington: Thanks everybody! See you next week and all over the chat-o-sphere!
	1:49am coelacanth∅: Thanks Rich!
