WFMU: The Wiggle Room: Playlist from January 30, 2024

Listener comments!
	7:17pm Krys O.: Good evening!
	👻 7:42pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	8:02pm Imaginos: Ahoy!
	8:02pm Krys O.: Hi, Imaginos! Welcome, Austin.
	👻 8:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @8:02 Hello, hello!
	8:03pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @8:02 And a grand hello to you too
	👻 8:03pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:02 Nice to see you! This should be educational.
	👻 8:04pm Mr Fab: Skip E. Lowe's Hollywood! Man , that guy was always on public access cable. I was too young and snotty at the time to appreciate his whole classic-Hollywood routine. Now I think it's pretty cool.
	👻 8:06pm Austin Rich: Woah! "It is estimated that Lowe conducted some 6,000 cable-television interviews from 1978 to 2014." That's a lot!
	8:06pm Krys O.: Hi, Mr. Fab! I first learned about Skip about 5 years ago coming across his interviews on YouTube.
	8:08pm Imaginos: This is very interesting
	8:08pm Krys O.: I never saw any Route 66 reruns.
	8:09pm Imaginos: They've programmed instinct out
	👻 8:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:08 I've heard it's where you can get your kicks, but outside of that, I can't tell you much.
	8:10pm Krys O.: My dear friend studied at HB too. Bill Hickey was her teacher.
	👻 8:11pm Mr Fab: I watched public access and UHF tv for the freak show aspect: roller derby, religious fanatics, "New Wave Theater" and cool music vid shows, nuts like David Leibe Hart, Dancing Francine, and Sabrina "High Priestess of The Church of the Most-High Goddess," who claimed to have had sex with more than 3,000 men. Who needed YouTube? So these more civilized talk shows kinda went under my radar.
	8:12pm HyperDose: Krys and friends :)
	8:12pm Imaginos: ↳ HyperDose @8:12 Ahoy!
	👻 8:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @8:11 Pre-Internet, it was the only way the average Joe could make something OUTSIDE of the Hollywood system. I'm still blown away at the stuff that was on Cable Access. And it still exists! But with the Internet, Cable Access seems almost like a footnote.
	👻 8:13pm Mr Fab: I have an album of George Maharis' crooning. It's OK, not great of course, but also not terrible enough to have made "World Worst Records" Singing Actor of the Week.
	8:13pm Krys O.: ↳ Mr Fab @8:11 I watched UHF in the NYC area pre-cable in the 60s and 70s. And lots of independent NYC area TV.
	👻 8:15pm Mr Fab: ↳ Krys O. @8:13 I remember catching an episode of "Midnight Blue" visiting NYC in the '80s!
	👻 8:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:13 I was just writing about how I miss channel surfing, before the internet, when you really didn't know what was gonna be on, and you'd run into weird old movies and shows well before my time. Anymore, I know too much about what's coming next.
	8:19pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:15 We had a TV Guide subscription for ages. My brother and I combed through it highlighting what was coming up.
	8:20pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @8:15 The Internet has spoiled us so much when it comes to watching what we want when we want that we oft forget to turn on scheduled programs at the right time
	👻 8:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:19 I didn't always look in the guide, to be honest. I think we had one, and occasionally I would read it. After I got a small black and white for my room, I would just flip around, without really knowing what was coming. Before that, I had a shortwave radio that could tune in TV stations, so I would listen to a lot of shows, and not really know completely what was happening.
	8:24pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:22 That makes me think of the family Grundig that we had. I loved spinning that dial and pushing the chunky buttons.
	👻 8:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:24 Woah! There's a lot of different kinds, but they all look pretty cool. I have been wanting to get a mid-century radio for the house.
	8:29pm Krys O.: Tell 'em, George!
	👻 8:31pm Mr Fab: George had a great voice. Wonder if he ever did radio?
	8:32pm Krys O.: That theme music makes me think of Joe Franklin. I would watch Joe on late night TV when I was an insomniac kid.
	👻 8:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:32 Wasn't he on for years and years? I only know OF him, but I've heard he was on for ages.
	8:35pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:33 Yes, he was on TV 1950-1993.
	👻 8:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:35 You miss a lot growing up in rural Oregon. Sometimes I feel like i missed to much.
	👻 8:37pm Mr Fab: We used to get the Joe Franklin Show on one of those cable-tv "superstation" - local channels that got a berth on cable and you could see them all over. Howard Stern's first TV show was on it. I used to watch him before his radio show was syndicated.
	8:37pm Krys O.: There's that Streisand sound.
	8:39pm Imaginos: Beautiful voice
	👻 8:39pm Mr Fab: I threw a VHS tape in to record when The Ramones were on Joe Franklin. He referred to them as "the famous RAY-mones group."
	8:39pm Krys O.: ↳ Mr Fab @8:37 Interesting. We watched Howard Stern on WOR-TV, if I recall correctly. He had Enuff Z'nuff on as guests. They were so fun.
	8:39pm Krys O.: ↳ Mr Fab @8:39 Right! The Ramones were on Uncle Floyd too.
	👻 8:40pm Austin Rich: I never got into Howard, but I've heard a fair amount of Howard, chopped up, by Don Joyce. Something about Stern's personality didn't really work for me.
	👻 8:42pm Mr Fab: ↳ Krys O. @8:39 his "Channel 9" show? I remember Iggy Pop was on, and almost walked off because Angie Bowie was on the same episode. Iggy really had a beef with her for some reason. Howard pleaded for him to stay, and Pop played "I Wanna Be Your Dog" on solo elec guitar. Wonder if that's on the youtubes somewhere? (I also wonder if I still have my old VHS tapes!)
	👻 8:42pm Austin Rich: I sort of hear that New York accent now.
	👻 8:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @8:42 There's still a lot of stuff that hasn't made it to the internet yet. I wouldn't be surprised if you're stitting on GOLD.
	8:44pm Krys O.: ↳ Mr Fab @8:42 Not surprising. Duncan Jones wants nothing to do with Angie.
	8:46pm Krys O.: More fashion shows for radio!!
	👻 8:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:46 Up next: The Radio Magician!
	8:47pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:46 MIME-FM
	👻 8:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:47 "MIME-FM: Nothing to See Here."
	8:48pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:48 "Eh? Come again?"
	👻 8:48pm Austin Rich: Punch-Up: "Nothing to See, Hear."
	👻 8:53pm Mr Fab: ↳ Krys O. @8:46 most '80s fashion is best experienced without visuals. Just read a funny quote from Diane von Furstenberg from a recent NYT article about the early '80s: You could feel it turning, the tackiness beginning to creep in... shoulder pads. And the hair. And “Dynasty.” I’ve never gotten over “Dynasty.”
	👻 8:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @8:53 It's like a response to the dirty earnestness of the late 60's and 70's.
	8:57pm Imaginos: Excellent show tonight
	8:58pm Krys O.: Thanks for tuning in!
	👻 8:58pm Austin Rich: Thanks for turning me on to Skip E. Lowe! I had never heard of him, and now I'm fascinated.
