Artist	Track	Album	Label	Year	Comments	New	Approx. start time
The Time Keepers	Febrary 29th "Febrary 29th" by "The Time Keepers"	A Song For Every Day of the Year	Eric Greenland	2015	It takes approximately 365.25 days for Earth to orbit the Sun — a solar year. We usually round the days in a calendar year to 365. To make up for the missing partial day, we add one day to our calendar approximately every four years. That is a leap year.		0:00:00 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: The Universe	Sounds of our Earth "Sounds of our Earth" by "The Universe"	Sounds of our Earth	N/A	202	Our Universe Is Not silent Despite space being a vacuum, it doesn't imply the absence of sound within it. Sound does exist in space, manifesting as electromagnetic vibrations. Almost all types of astronomical objects emit radio waves, with the most potent sources being pulsars, nebulae, quasars, and galaxies. These radio waves can be captured by a specially designed instrument known as an astronomical interferometer, capable of converting them into frequencies within the human hearing range (20 - 20,000 Hz). Probes like Voyager and Hawk-Eye are among many that record these space sounds.		0:01:12 (Pop-up)
SpizzEnergi	Where's Captain Kirk?	Where's Captain Kirk 7"	Cherry Red Records	1980	Spizzenergi are an English punk/new wave band led by vocalist/guitarist Spizz. Formed in the late 1970s, the band changed its name every year, subsequent names including Athletico Spizz 80, Spizzoil and the Spizzles. They are notable as the first band to top the newly created UK Indie Chart early in 1980 with the single "Where's Captain Kirk?" More than two decades after its release, it was included in Mojo magazine's list of the best punk rock singles of all time. When I awoke from the dangers of space I looked and I saw a familiar face The time warp in space made a change in me For I was the Captain and the Captain was me Yes it's so true As we went Warp Factor 2 The changes I had been through As Captain Kirk I'm Captain Kirk (As Captain Kirk) (As Captain Kirk)		0:03:41 (Pop-up)
Gang of Four	Outside The Trains Don't Run On Time	Solid Gold	Parlophone	1981	Gang of Four's music brought together an eclectic array of influences, ranging from the Frankfurt School of social criticism to the increasingly clear trans-Atlantic punk consensus.[citation needed] Gang of Four was named by Andy Corrigan, a member of the Mekons, while driving around with Gill and King when he came upon a newspaper billboard on the intra-Party coup against China's "Gang of Four". Fun Fact: By adding a leap day every four years, we actually make the calendar longer by over 44 minutes. Over time, these extra 44+ minutes would also cause the seasons to drift in our calendar. For this reason, not every four years is a leap year. The rule is that if the year is divisible by 100 and not divisible by 400, leap year is skipped.		0:05:59 (Pop-up)
Boy Division	Transmission "Transmission" by "Boy Division"	Damaged Goods	Glitterhous Records	2012	"Well I could call out when the going gets tough The things that we've learnt are no longer enough No language, just sound, that's all we need know To synchronize love to the beat of the show"...This most irreverent cover of Joy Division in true Boy Division style is fantastic. Founded by members of Hamburg-based projects Pornopop, Hrubesch Youth and Superpunk, Boy Division is "the other kind" of Coverband. Their main mandate was to be an ultimate party band...and be able to travel with all their gear in a car. Also My Chemical Romance can go to hell for stealing their name for a song.		0:09:15 (Pop-up)
Cyril Cyril	La Rotation de L'axe "La Rotation de L'axe" by "Cyril Cyril"	La Rotation de L'Axe Single	Born Bad Records	2024	Released just earlier this month this slick little piece of French post punk arrives courtesy of Cyril Cyril. Cyril Yeterian is the former singer and accordion player for Swiss, Cajun blues outfit Mama Rosin. A three-piece that stirred the ghosts of the rogue bayou, the clammy Mardi Gras of some electric Louisiana, releasing 4 albums before they went their separate ways in 2015. As well as his career in making and recording music, Yeterian is also one of the owners of Swiss record label, record store and global taste makers Bongo Joe Records. The title of this translates to "Rotation of the Axis" Fun fact: The reason there’s any such thing as Leap Day at all is because of the physics of planet Earth, specifically the angle of the axis it spins which is slightly off and affects the rotation time.	*	0:11:05 (Pop-up)
Discodeine ft. Jarvis Cocker	Synchronize	Synchronize - Radio Edit	DFA	2010	There could be nothing simpler, nor fairer-spoken, than his celebration of stop-motion romance at the discotheque in "Synchronize." I mean that sentimentally, for in lyrics of familiar pastoral nuance there's a humble poeticism about the places of "organised noise" he refers to. Wristwatches stop as they fall to the floor, hearts beat with the drums and the hands of time are simply yours held in mine. As Cocker mounts an idyll of clubland courtship in words, the duo of Pilooski and Pentile, AKA Discodeine, set it in musical motion with a string ensemble so absorbingly histrionic it absolutely eclipses any would-be tweeness of the electro-pop style in which it's conceived. NASA says that over time, our seasons would fall out of order without the leap day. And not just a little...a LOT. Without them, the summer season we generally experience in June would happen in December 700 years from now. So once every four years...we synchronize!		0:14:32 (Pop-up)
Midnight Juggernauts	This New Technology	The Crystal Axis	Siberia Records	2010	One of the best and most undersung bands of the early 2000's was Australia's Midnight Juggernauts. The band has been described as anything from 'prog dance meets cosmic film scores', to 'slasher-flick disco' to 'deadpan landscape'. I liken them to sexy space rock. They have supported the likes of M83, Justice, Holy Fuck, Tame Impala and The Klaxons..but they just never got the traction they deserved. They have remained inactive since 2014 as a band.		0:18:14 (Pop-up)

Sebadoh	Leap Year "Leap Year" by "Sebadoh"	Act Surprised	Dangerbird	2019	"Act Surprised is the ninth studio album by American indie rock band Sebadoh. It is the band's first album in six years. The album was released on May 24, 2019. The album has seven songs each by Lou Barlow and Jason Loewenstein and one by Bob D’Amico." -- This song is the Bob D'Amico one. -- "Sebadoh formed in 1986 in Northampton, Massachusetts, by Eric Gaffney and Lou Barlow, with multi-instrumentalist Jason Loewenstein completing the line-up in 1989. Barlow co-created Sebadoh as an outlet for his songwriting when J. Mascis gradually took over creative control of Dinosaur Jr., in which Barlow plays bass guitar. //// Along with such bands as Pavement, Beat Happening and Guided by Voices, Sebadoh helped pioneer a lo-fi style of indie rock characterized by low-fidelity recording techniques that employed four-track cassette tape machines. The band's early output, such as The Freed Man and Weed Forestin' (both released 1990), as well as Sebadoh III (1991), was typical of this style. Following the release of Bubble & Scrape in 1993, Gaffney left the band. His replacement and erstwhile stand-in, Bob Fay, appeared on Bakesale (1994) and Harmacy (1996), but was fired before the sessions for the band's major label release The Sebadoh (1999), featuring drummer Russ Pollard. //// The band then went on a 14-year recording hiatus, during which time members pursued other projects while occasionally touring as Sebadoh. The group, fronted by Barlow and now featuring drummer Bob D'Amico, returned in 2012 with the Secret EP and, in 2013, a full-length album titled Defend Yourself, which were both self-recorded. The album Act Surprised followed in 2019."		0:31:06 (Pop-up)
The Stranglers	Outside Tokyo "Outside Tokyo" by "The Stranglers"	Black and White	United Artists	1978	"Black and White is the third studio album by the Stranglers. It was released on 12 May 1978, through record label United Artists in most of the world and A&M in America. As with the Stranglers' first two albums, Black and White was produced by Martin Rushent." This song has to do with the invention and possible end of time, perhaps as related to wristwatch making outside of Tokyo. In any event, it fits into our theme of expanding & disappearing time, such as that which the month of February provides.		0:34:17 (Pop-up)
The Homesick	Leap Year "Leap Year" by "The Homesick"	The Big Exercise	Sub Pop	2020	The Homesick are from Dokkum, Netherlands. Their second album "The Big Exercise brings... ...more grounded, tangible pastures. With its title ripped from a passage in the Scott Walker-biography Deep Shade Of Blue, the record is a concentrated effort by Jaap van der Velde, Erik Woudwijk and Elias Elgersma to explore the physicality of their music in fresh ways. //// “When we were on tour in 2018, I bought Meredith Monk’s Dolmen Music in Switzerland,” Van der Velde recalls, “Elias and I have been completely immersed in her music ever since. But also the work of Joan La Barbara for example, who also did things with extended vocal techniques, that was also quite vital to us. We discovered that the human voice offers so many beautiful elements that can still feel very physical and intrusive.” //// During those formative years, the Dutch trio was often typecast as your resident tricksters. Hailing from the backwater Frisian municipality of Dokkum, Van der Velde, Woudwijk and Elgersma shrewdly courted spirituality under their own nonconformist whims, even if that wasn’t immediately obvious to outsiders. For those on the outside looking in, it was hard to tell whether the band was taking the piss or genuinely unraveling themselves as starry-eyed romantics." The Homesick (Bandcamp)		0:36:30 (Pop-up)
Wire	A Mutual Friend "A Mutual Friend" by "Wire"	154 (Special Edition)	Havest / Pink Flag	1979 / 2018	Opening song for side 2 of Wire's 1979 third full-length LP "154". "The test was written by Lewis. 'It was an attempt to take the cliché of 'moon in June' to its most logical extreme. A lyric in which every month of the year is marshalled to perhaps serve some poetic ideal', he says with a chuckle." ... Newman is quick to recognise the quality of the text: 'I remember I really loved Graham's lyric. And I thought this is something I want to make a really special effort for' //// The recording of the multiple vocal lines took Newman and Thorne a number of days and was reportedly the source of much frustration on the part of Gilbert and Lewis at the time. But it is this subtly layered vocal arrangement that truly elevates this recording, and when Newman's wordless backing vocals enter at 03:30, the song is finally lifted into the realm of the sublime." --- End lyrics "In March, April May and June / July August, September, soon / He might replace the old with the moon / It could be October / November, or even December / So in January and February, remember / He might replace the old with the moon / He might replace the old quite soon"		0:40:51 (Pop-up)
The Fall	Calendar "Calendar" by "The Fall"	Masquerade Single	Artful	1998	The one collaboration between The Fall & Damon Gough, AKA Badly Drawn Boy. (Or, as Mark E Smith called him in a song shortly thereafter, "Badly Bug Drawn".) Also, 1998 marked the last of (then) long-time Fall stalwarts Steve Hanley & Karl Burns. Does this song address the concept of time slippage? Possibly. It's a favourite motif of Smith's (and Science Fiction in general). The final lyrics: "The last - three weeks - were the great month of February / Calendar" Happy Leap Year... You won't see this day again for years... From Annotated Fall: "A song co-written with Damon Gough, otherwise known as "Badly Drawn Boy," who plays guitar on the version of the track on the "Masquerade" single. The song began its life as an instrumental by the latter called "Tumbleweed." Martin has found the following information on the web page of Badly Drawn Boy's booking agent: "After releasing two EPs, Gough's future was graced with a series of fortuitous moments. The first of these came in December 1997 when Mark E Smith mistakenly took Gough's car for a taxi outside a Manchester bar. Smith demanded a lift home and Gough obliged, but only after they agreed that the Fall would record a Badly Drawn Boy song called 'Tumbleweed.'" //// Legend has it that when Smith lurched out of the back seat he left his false teeth behind. //// It has been suggested that the lyrics are a complaint directed at the record company; hard to say. Harley recalls an interview "around the time of Calendar complaining about months passing by while record companies get their act together to release a completed record - and that's the first thing that came to mind when I heard the song. I've never tracked down the interview, but he was still making the same point in 2011: Back inside and with fresh drinks, I ask whether they had to turn around the album quickly to meet his self-imposed Christmas deadline? 'No, it was quite a long process, for me, really. Started about April, so about three or four months. The main thing was to get it out before Christmas. Which is sacrilege in the music business because you can’t bring out things then because there’s a Christmas rush. "Best Hits of Robbie Williams" or whatever, so the factories are all clogged up with crap...People just look at you: "We need six months to do it. We need six weeks to develop the marketing." All this shit. "We need six weeks to do the marketing, six weeks to do the interneting." Can’t you just get the fucking thing out?'""		0:45:27 (Pop-up)
Phillip Samuels	Leap Year "Leap Year" by "Phillip Samuels"	Essential Jamaican Deejay Tracks 1971-1973	Goldenlane Records	2009	Ends up 1972 was a Leap Year. References to the Calendar after we played the song Calendar. All is coming together in a thematic way once again...Extra note from Babs...since we both picked this song...Samuel the First grew up in Jamaica and as a young teen became part of the El Paso sound system. Eventually he found his way into various studios, releasing a few singles. He stopped recording in the 70's saying "true most of dem promoter guy back home a tief, eh? An’ they always want just for themselves. They never consider the goose that lay the golden egg. Not even think of giving two grain a corn to get back a lickle more energy to do it again. So I just say to hell with this! You have the writing in the bible, which will be my blessing, “A troop shall press upon Gad, but he shall overcome in the last" There is not much biographical information available, but it seems that Samuel Philips may have emigrated to Toronto at one point.		0:47:06 (Pop-up)
The Diodes	Time Damage "Time Damage" by "The Diodes"	The Diodes	Columbia	1977	The closing track from their eponymous debut full-length. "The Diodes are a Canadian punk rock band formed in 1976 in Toronto. They released five albums: Diodes (1977), Released (1979), Action-Reaction (1980), Survivors (1982), and Time/Damage Live 1978 (2010). They were one of the first Canadian bands to embrace this style of music and helped to foster the original core Punk scene in Toronto. //// The Diodes formed in October 1976 at OCAD University after a chance meeting between members. They played their first gig supporting Talking Heads in January 1977. The band, along with their manager Ralph Alfonso, went on to open Canada's first punk nightclub, the Crash 'n Burn, in June 1977. Many of the city's founding punk bands played in this iconic venue. The first groups to play the club were The Nerves, on a bill with The Diodes. Other international bands performing at the Crash 'n Burn included The Dead Boys. The club, which was housed in The Diodes' basement rehearsal space, was closed at the end of the summer of 1977, due to complaints by the Liberal Party of Ontario (the principal tenants of the building). The Crash 'n Burn was the subject of a movie by experimental filmmaker Ross McLaren, Crash 'n' Burn. Footage of the club also exists in the CBC Television archives because it was the subject of a TV special in 1977. //// The band put out their first record in summer 1977, a single featuring Bruce Eves and Amerigo Maras of the Centre for Experimental Art and Communication (CEAC), an avant garde, performance art collective and gallery. Mickey Skin of the all-girl punk band The Curse spews profanities on one side, The Diodes provide musical backing with Paul Robinson counting down the spoken intervals, on the other. It was released on the Crash 'n' Burn label. One side was called "Raw", the other "War". It is considered one of the first punk records to come out of Canada. The single was actually part of an issue of the CEAC Newsletter (published by CEAC, the owners of the building that housed the Crash 'n' Burn club). //// The Diodes played CBGBs in New York in July 1977 supporting The Cramps as part of a Toronto punk bill featuring The Viletones, Teenage Head, The Curse, The B Girls and The Dents. They signed to Columbia Records in Canada shortly afterward in August 1977, releasing their self-titled debut album The Diodes in October 1977. The release was produced by Bob Gallo and was accompanied by a single with two tracks from the LP. The A-side of the single featured a punk-rock deconstruction of the Cyrkle's sixties hit "Red Rubber Ball". The LP also included a cover of the Max Frost & The Troopers' "Shape of Things to Come" done in a similar style, along with eight original tunes written by the band. It was domestically released in Europe and Australia, however it was overlooked in the US and UK, where it was import only."		0:49:41 (Pop-up)

The song might seem clunky by today's standards (like rhyming rave with uhhh...rave) but contains some interesting samples... notably "Should I Stay or Should I Go" and "All Night Long" by Lionel Ritchie.		1:11:34 (Pop-up)
Madness	Tomorrow's Just Another Day	Tomorrow's Just Another Day 7"	Stiff Records	1983	"Tomorrow's (Just Another Day)" is a song by British band Madness from their fourth album The Rise & Fall. It spent 9 weeks in the UK charts, peaking at # 8 in February 1983. The single version is a slight remix of the album track. A slower, blues-style version of the song, with Elvis Costello on vocals. The lyrics reflect a sense of weariness and hopelessness, with the protagonist feeling like they have given their best but still can't find peace. The repeated phrase "Tomorrow's just another day" can be seen as both a pessimistic and optimistic viewpoint. On one hand, it implies that each new day brings more of the same struggles and weariness. On the other hand, it suggests that there is hope for improvement and that things might get better with time.		1:15:19 (Pop-up)

The Jesus And Mary Chain	Girl 71 "Girl 71" by "The Jesus And Mary Chain"	Glasgow Eyes	Fuzz Club	2024	The third advanced preview of The Jesus And Mary Chain's forthcoming "Glasgow Eyes" album; the album was originally slated to be released March 8, but due to vinyl production delays they’re pushing that date back a couple weeks to March 22. "Jim Reid spoke to Under the Radar recently and said of the album: “It will be a bit different; it’s quite experimental and electronic. Not so much that you won’t recognize it as the Mary Chain, but yeah, we messed about with the sound a bit.” //// Jim Reid had this to say about the album in a previous press release: “Don’t expect ‘the Mary Chain goes jazz.’ People should expect a Jesus and Mary Chain record, and that’s certainly what Glasgow Eyes is. Our creative approach is remarkably the same as it was in 1984—just hit the studio and see what happens. We went in with a bunch of songs and let it take its course. There are no rules; you just do whatever it takes. And there’s a telepathy there—we are those weird, not-quite twins that finish each other’s sentences.”"	*	1:32:01 (Pop-up)
Jah Wobble	SOO 135 "SOO 135" by "Jah Wobble"	A Brief History Of Now	Cleopatra Records	2023	Released Aug 4, 2023... "Does this man ever stop working? More or less fulltime on the road with his current iteration of Invaders of the Heart, with side projects aplenty squeezing into that already crammed tour schedule, yet still whipping out little nuggets of “something I prepared earlier”. Like this. You may 2022’s Metal Box: Rebuilt In Dub, actually from the year before, his revisiting of the magisterial Public Image Limited outing of 1979, in which he, together with guitarist, Jon Klein (Siouxsie & the Banshees et al), reassembled a bevy of tracks from the original, casting it in a very idiosyncratically Wobble light, at best barely remisniscent of the original, but gloriously complementary. I guess it followed on a 2012 tour by Wobble and the late Keith Levene, the original PIL guitarist, Metal Box: Built In Dub, You can catch the drift. Klein and Wobble have now reconvened to carry on the adventure, with, this time, new material. //// Subterranean bass introduces SOO 135, with, yes, Banshee-esque guitar, the thump of echoed drums probably Wobble’s own. An instrumental, there are sounds of alarms and sirens: the apocalypse is now. The sax tone here is 100% Nik Turner, which has me deliciously imagine a Wobble/Hawkwind collab, not least as modulators ring. A murky maelstrom that begs louder. I Am I Am I Am is a dubby construct, Klein’s guitar a sparse clip, Wobble near singing, words from the edge of the abyss. The near naked voice just about hangs on the skeletal backing, each uncertain of the responsibility to carry the eeriness onward. The bass is hypnotic, as it should be. Fashion World then has a near orthodox structure, the sprechgesang touching the parts Ian Dury might have gone with this material. Fizzing guitar keeps it real, the focus pure post rock, post punk, call it what you will. And you will find yourself singing the “Hello , Hello” refrain, I guarantee"		1:35:05 (Pop-up)
CAN	Paris 73 Zwei "Paris 73 Zwei" by "CAN"	Live In Paris 1973	Spoon / Mute	1973 / 2024	Released: Feb 23, 2024; a document of a (R.I.P.) Damo Suzuki-era CAN show taped during a show at L'Olympia in Paris on May 12, 1973. This official release (on CAN's Spoon label, via Mute Records) followed two weeks after Suzuki's Feb 8 2024 death. --- In keeping with our Leap Year extra-day theme, this track is, in fact, "One More Night", originally from 1972's Ege Bamyasi. Akin to how time expands in a Leap Year February, this live version extends the song by at least an additional 3 minutes. Although the lyrics are clearly about "One more Saturday night", we'll still consider this appropriate for our Leap Year (Thursday Feb 29) 2024 theme.	*	1:38:42 (Pop-up)

The Cure	A Strange Day "A Strange Day" by "The Cure"	Pornography		1982	“A Strange Day”, a song about, according to Robert Smith, “how I would feel if it would only be the end of the world”, is backed by the same driving force that appeared on “A Short Term Effect”, only this time it’s slightly slower. The drums and prominent bassline are also reminiscent of the band’s 1981 single, “Charlotte Sometimes”. Pornography is the fourth studio album by English rock band the Cure, released on 4 May 1982 by Fiction Records. Preceded by the non-album single "Charlotte Sometimes", it was the band's first album with new producer Phil Thornalley, and was recorded at RAK Studios from January to April 1982. It is considered a goth music masterpiece, and rightfully so!		1:54:30 (Pop-up)

	🏝 ♥ 8:19pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ listener 126464 @8:15 How are you doing, how is the listening these days?
	🏝 ♥ 8:19pm ultradamno: Was just reminded of the one Trump position I'm on board with "“Right now, a number of state laws allow a baby to be born from his or her mother’s womb in the ninth month. It is wrong. It has to change" www.snopes.com...

	8:32pm Robm: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @8:32 hey will
	♥ 8:34pm Dan S: Earth's year is slightly less than 365.25 days long. That's why, in the Gregorian calendar, years divisible by 100 are NOT leap years (UNLESS they are also divisible by 400). So the year 2100 will NOT be a leap year.
	♥ 8:34pm DJ Babs: Hi Will! Great to see ya!
	🏝 ♥ 8:34pm Will thee Sound Guy: hi Robm, ultradamno, Roberto, 126464, Alli B, Scotty, Dan S and anyone I missed!

	♥ 8:35pm DJ Babs: ↳ Dan S @8:34 Hi Dan! And thank you for the extra math lol. My brain is weed addled today.
	♥ 8:36pm DJ Babs: Sebadoh is a band that I always mean to delve deeper into and I never get the time!
	♥ 8:38pm Dan S: ↳ DJ Babs @8:35 You're welcome. Every so often I have to prove that I'm a nerd, lest there be any doubt.
	🏝 ♥ 8:38pm ultradamno: The Flaming Stars Peel Session 10" (in the same series as the Essential Logic one, scroll down the right sidebar) is available pre-order, if you are looking for BC Friday purchases preciousrecordingsoflondon.bandcamp.com... ...and Cuntroaches album is out cuntroaches.bandcamp.com... it's LOUD

	♥ 8:42pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:38 As always thank you for the release tips!
	♥ 8:42pm DJ Babs: ↳ Alli B @8:39 Ah yes. I hate it when ppl ruin music! For me it’s Dukes of Stratosphear.
	♥ 8:43pm DJ Babs: Also wait what there’s a sexy beast tv show?
	🏝 ♥ 8:43pm ultradamno: Sounds like when I saw Jesus Lizard and wanted to tell every other audience to simmer down already
	🏝 ♥ 8:44pm Will thee Sound Guy: as shakey as things are, I'm glad that they are still doing BC Friday. I had my doubts after the sale.
	🏝 ♥ 8:45pm ultradamno: ↳ DJ Babs @8:43 Yeah, it's on Showtime. It's a prequel of Gal and Don first stepping up their thieving game. It's not terrible, but it is kind of superfluous
	8:45pm Tyler: Good evening Meepers & Moopers! Tuned in just in time for WIRE! Good timing!
	♥ 8:45pm DJ Babs: Heeeeey Tyler! Awesome to aee ya!
	8:46pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @8:45 Hi Babs, likewise!
	♥ 8:46pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:45 Hmmmm. I’m currently obsessed by space shows and Korean cooking shows it seems!
	🏝 ♥ 8:47pm ultradamno: I love Resident Alien...which is sort of a space show.
	8:48pm Tyler: I've finished watching both seasons of of White Lotus & now am trying to set time aside to watch the new season of Tokyo Vice. Finally watched all of Oppenheimer on the weekend...
	🏝 ♥ 8:48pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @8:47 ...though I think apparently writing out grumpy scarf head is a mistake, but adding Blue Avian giant bird lady alien almost makes up for it.
	8:49pm Tyler: ...and Dune Part 2 comes out tomorrow.
	🏝 ♥ 8:49pm Alli B: 💃🕺
	♥ 8:49pm DJ Babs: Nice! You might have just sold me with giant blue bird lady!
	8:49pm Tyler: Sounded like Prince Far-I for a moment.
	♥ 8:50pm DJ Babs: ↳ Tyler @8:48 I have to try white lotus again…I fell off the first few episodes first season….
	🏝 ♥ 8:50pm ultradamno: ↳ DJ Babs @8:49 Scroll down a little to get a look at her www.syfy.com...
	♥ 8:51pm DJ Babs: I’m also obsessed by two reality shows…the one where they blow glass…and the other where they make tiny miniature houses.
	🏝 ♥ 8:51pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Alli B @8:39 TBH, Sebadoh have never really captured my attention even when I've made an effort. I immediately liked this one though... Ends up it was the only song from the newest album written by the newest Sebadoh member, so maybe that's why. Like Babs says, I'd have to delve deeper...
	🏝 ♥ 8:51pm ultradamno: ↳ DJ Babs @8:50 All of White's work is just so much hang wringing.
	8:51pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @8:50 Everyone is fairly unlikeable & can summon some vacation PTSD, but it has its moments. I mainly tuned in to season 2 because I quite like Aubrey Plaza.
	♥ 8:51pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:50 SOLD
	♥ 8:52pm DJ Babs: ↳ Tyler @8:51 I hear the second season is really good!
	8:52pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @8:51 I'm also quite hooked on 'The Repair Shop'.
	🏝 ♥ 8:52pm Alli B: Music’s extra 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
	🏝 ♥ 8:53pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @8:45 Hello hello, good eve, Tyler! Yay! Hi!

	8:53pm ?: Hi guys! I’m so sorry I’m late to the party
	🏝 ♥ 8:53pm Alli B: Saw The Diodes at the Sound of Music festival as well!
	8:53pm Tyler: I need to get me some Diodes records. Only have their stuff on comps.
	♥ 8:54pm DJ Babs: Img speaking of TV news my friend is on the newly announced season of Big Brother Canada…it’s fucking crazy LOL. www.bigbrothercanada.ca...

	♥ 8:55pm DJ Babs: Leslieeeeeeeeeeee
	8:55pm lesliehastonhurst: Hey honey
	🏝 ♥ 8:55pm Alli B: Hi Leslie!
	8:55pm Tyler: Tried to watch Law & Order Toronto earlier in the week, but it wasn't clicking for me. I'll give it another chance, but I think that franchise has gotten pretty far from its roots, in general...
	8:56pm lesliehastonhurst: Hi lovely
	8:56pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @8:54 Good luck to them :)
	8:57pm Robm: hi leslie
	🏝 ♥ 8:57pm Alli B: Oh Tyler, I tried to get into it as well but the acting is terrible
	♥ 8:57pm DJ Babs: Oh noooo! We don’t get it for some reason!?
	♥ 8:58pm DJ Babs: I love bad Canadian TV tho. I’m obsessed by Hudson and Rex. It’s like a modern littlest hobo!!!
	🏝 ♥ 8:59pm ultradamno: I watched FBI: Most Wanted (a Dick Wolf production) this week, it seems to be suffering for lack of Alexa Davalos and more Dylan McDermott stinger line readings. It's always been laughable, for show with this much murder, but it's just silly...
	8:59pm Tyler: ↳ Alli B @8:57 Yeah, it's almost parody level acting. Like Kroll Show's 'Dead Girl Town' :)
	🏝 ♥ 9:00pm ultradamno: The CW is a lot of Canadian TV since the shake up. Family Law, Son Of A Critch, Children Ruin Everything, Moonshine...
	9:02pm Tyler: @Derek, so Badly-Drawn-Boy kidnapped Mark E. Smith? :)
	9:03pm DJ Blush: Hi everyone!
	9:03pm v-dawg: Hi Derek and Babs
	🏝 ♥ 9:04pm Alli B: Hi Britt!!
	🏝 ♥ 9:04pm ultradamno: Big orange moon here yesterday
	9:05pm v-dawg: Your show is playing the background. Then i hear "Fuck that shit". Now i am checking in.
	♥ 9:05pm DJ Babs: Hey V-Dawg! Thanks for joining that! And yes...the profanity is like a call to action sometimes...
	🏝 ♥ 9:05pm coelacanth∅: greetings Babs & Derek and transmitties
	🏝 ♥ 9:05pm ultradamno: ...I expect that's how the moon is cheese idea comes from.
	9:06pm Tyler: Time is Strangling your wrist!
	🏝 ♥ 9:06pm ultradamno: Though you don't replace aged cheese.
	9:06pm Tyler: Hi Leslie & Britt!
	9:08pm Tyler: Smoke on the water!
	♥ 9:10pm DJ Babs: Hi Blush! Hi Coela!!
	🏝 ♥ 9:10pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:51 but sebadoh created "freed pig" - which is good...but the cover by the breeders is Required Listening
	🏝 ♥ 9:10pm Alli B: Tuuuune
	♥ 9:11pm DJ Babs: Feb 29th just makes me feel all like this...
	9:12pm Tyler: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:10 I really like early Sebadoh & their cover of Nick Drake's 'Pink Moon' is pretty great!
	9:13pm DJ Blush: Hello my peeps
	🏝 ♥ 9:13pm Alli B: 😂😂😂 yessss
	9:15pm Tyler: So B.A.D. it needed a sequel...
	🏝 ♥ 9:15pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @8:38 Also, Messer Chups new album pre-order messer-chups.bandcamp.com... and, 777 Was 666 have one Controlled Bleeding cassette left 777was666.bandcamp.com...
	🏝 ♥ 9:15pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Tyler @9:12 i like early sebadoh. i guess,like Derek it never grabbed me... but then, it grabbed me enough that i bought a 2-lp compilation. i don't crave to hear it often but enjoy it when i do.
	🏝 ♥ 9:17pm coelacanth∅: (bought in the 90s, after hearing breeders' version of freed pig)
	🏝 ♥ 9:17pm Alli B: 🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏
	9:17pm Tyler: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:15 Fair enough. I enjoyed what Sebadoh were doing more than the direction Dinosaur Jr went in at the time. But, I certainly didn't buy every record by either band. Some appealed to me more than others.
	🏝 ♥ 9:17pm Derek Westerholm: Hello Leslie! Blush! v-dawg! Coel...!
	🏝 ♥ 9:18pm Derek Westerholm: Will have to give Sebadoh closer attention... I do quite love the Breeders cover!
	♥ 9:19pm DJ Babs: I absolutely love this song. It's like I think my favouite.
	🏝 ♥ 9:19pm ultradamno: ↳ Tyler @9:17 Neither band did much for me, to be honest.
	9:19pm DJ Blush: Great song!!
	9:19pm DJ Blush: Makes me want to lurk around a castle in a cloak
	🏝 ♥ 9:20pm Alli B: Omg Britt 😂😂😂 But yes!
	🏝 ♥ 9:21pm Alli B: What a cover!
	♥ 9:21pm DJ Babs: Honestly this is truly the greatest cover ever
	9:22pm DJ Blush: Trippy
	9:22pm Tyler: Sounds as though it were recorded straight to tape with no over-dubs or edits. I love this kind of warm, minimal electronica...
	9:23pm DJ Blush: I always listen to Transmissions on headphones – and usually baked off my tits, so I highly suggest both!
	🏝 ♥ 9:24pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Tyler @9:17 i just looked and it's sebadoh III i thought was a comp... i have another album by them then but i forgot which one. but yeah dinosaur jr was (is) a one-trick pony to my ears. good, but limited in scope.
	🏝 ♥ 9:24pm ultradamno: That made me think of Steve Miller Band, which reminded me of the time they were on Later with Jools next to Jim Jones Revue and kind of goofing on them and now I want to hear Burning Your House Down
	9:25pm Tyler: Where's the MEEPMOOP SCHWAG?!?! I ask you...
	9:26pm DJ Blush: Genius idea, Tyler! Def make Transmissions tote bags with a drawing of meep on it
	9:26pm Tyler: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:24 Sebadoh III is probably my favourite of the early period. That, or Smash Your Head
	🏝 ♥ 9:27pm ultradamno: Joint Meepmoop and Princess Tinkle swag I call for now. Bowls maybe (since the station already had collars now...and only a masochist puts a collar on a cat)
	🏝 ♥ 9:30pm ultradamno: There is only the Pork Dukes
	9:32pm GrumpyT: What did I miss?
	9:33pm laurapanic: I'm late, I missed the Flaa but I love hearing Derek and Babs even just for 30mins, and to hear new JAMC
	9:33pm laurapanic: Flaa = Fall
	🏝 ♥ 9:34pm ultradamno: Rockin'....after midnight
	♥ 9:35pm DJ Babs: ↳ GrumpyT @9:32 Heeeey Grumpy! About 2/3 of the show but that’s ok! LOL
	♥ 9:36pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:27 We are definitely down with MeepMoop swag ❤️
	9:36pm GrumpyT: Just got in from thriftiing.
	♥ 9:36pm DJ Babs: Oooooh any good scores?
	🏝 ♥ 9:37pm ultradamno: Errr, Living...After Midnight. Never thought I'd openly compare JAMC to Judas Priest, and yet....
	9:37pm Tyler: Surprisingly springy for JAMC. Glad it sounds like they've gotten out of the pastoral Americana mode they were in on the past few records.
	♥ 9:37pm DJ Babs: ↳ GrumpyT @9:36 Midnight drifter, late night thrifter!
	9:37pm GrumpyT: Nah... Almost bought lazer guided melodies on cassette... But have enough useless junk lying around.
	9:38pm DJ Blush: Hey Grump!
	9:38pm GrumpyT: Hey Britney. ❤️
	9:38pm Tyler: ↳ GrumpyT @9:37 There might have been some residue on that cassette :)
	♥ 9:39pm DJ Babs: ↳ Tyler @9:37 I actually enjoyed that JAMC!
	♥ 9:39pm DJ Babs: Ah this is the skronk I needed
	9:40pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @9:39 Yeah, sounded like there is still some life in them.
	9:40pm Tyler: Awww... DAMO :(
	🏝 ♥ 9:41pm ultradamno: Speaking of skronk, Bandcamp article on NY No Wave daily.bandcamp.com... and James Chance has health issues and a go fund me, if you want to help www.gofundme.com...
	9:42pm Tyler: Nice segue from the JAH to the CAN, BTW...
	🏝 ♥ 9:43pm Scott_Oz: ↳ laurapanic @9:33 & it's the 1st day of Flaa = Fall = Autumn!
	🏝 ♥ 9:44pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @9:42 Why thank-you, Tyler... I was trying to think of something all week, and it just came to mind during the set... Besides, Babs had suggested Wobble, so there it is... Live-in-the-moment radio!
	9:45pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:44 Beauty, eh!
	🏝 ♥ 9:45pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ GrumpyT @9:32 Hey there GrumpyT! If a tree falls and GrumpyT is not there to witness, is anything missed?
	9:46pm Tyler: ↳ ultradamno @9:41 Sorry to hear.
	♥ 9:46pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:41 Yeah he has been struggling for a while with his health…man that sucks.

Artist	Track	Album	Label	Year	Comments	New	Approx. start time
The Time Keepers	Febrary 29th "Febrary 29th" by "The Time Keepers"	A Song For Every Day of the Year	Eric Greenland	2015	It takes approximately 365.25 days for Earth to orbit the Sun — a solar year. We usually round the days in a calendar year to 365. To make up for the missing partial day, we add one day to our calendar approximately every four years. That is a leap year.		0:00:00 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: The Universe	Sounds of our Earth "Sounds of our Earth" by "The Universe"	Sounds of our Earth	N/A	202	Our Universe Is Not silent Despite space being a vacuum, it doesn't imply the absence of sound within it. Sound does exist in space, manifesting as electromagnetic vibrations. Almost all types of astronomical objects emit radio waves, with the most potent sources being pulsars, nebulae, quasars, and galaxies. These radio waves can be captured by a specially designed instrument known as an astronomical interferometer, capable of converting them into frequencies within the human hearing range (20 - 20,000 Hz). Probes like Voyager and Hawk-Eye are among many that record these space sounds.		0:01:12 (Pop-up)
SpizzEnergi	Where's Captain Kirk?	Where's Captain Kirk 7"	Cherry Red Records	1980	Spizzenergi are an English punk/new wave band led by vocalist/guitarist Spizz. Formed in the late 1970s, the band changed its name every year, subsequent names including Athletico Spizz 80, Spizzoil and the Spizzles. They are notable as the first band to top the newly created UK Indie Chart early in 1980 with the single "Where's Captain Kirk?" More than two decades after its release, it was included in Mojo magazine's list of the best punk rock singles of all time. When I awoke from the dangers of space I looked and I saw a familiar face The time warp in space made a change in me For I was the Captain and the Captain was me Yes it's so true As we went Warp Factor 2 The changes I had been through As Captain Kirk I'm Captain Kirk (As Captain Kirk) (As Captain Kirk)		0:03:41 (Pop-up)
Gang of Four	Outside The Trains Don't Run On Time	Solid Gold	Parlophone	1981	Gang of Four's music brought together an eclectic array of influences, ranging from the Frankfurt School of social criticism to the increasingly clear trans-Atlantic punk consensus.[citation needed] Gang of Four was named by Andy Corrigan, a member of the Mekons, while driving around with Gill and King when he came upon a newspaper billboard on the intra-Party coup against China's "Gang of Four". Fun Fact: By adding a leap day every four years, we actually make the calendar longer by over 44 minutes. Over time, these extra 44+ minutes would also cause the seasons to drift in our calendar. For this reason, not every four years is a leap year. The rule is that if the year is divisible by 100 and not divisible by 400, leap year is skipped.		0:05:59 (Pop-up)
Boy Division	Transmission "Transmission" by "Boy Division"	Damaged Goods	Glitterhous Records	2012	"Well I could call out when the going gets tough The things that we've learnt are no longer enough No language, just sound, that's all we need know To synchronize love to the beat of the show"...This most irreverent cover of Joy Division in true Boy Division style is fantastic. Founded by members of Hamburg-based projects Pornopop, Hrubesch Youth and Superpunk, Boy Division is "the other kind" of Coverband. Their main mandate was to be an ultimate party band...and be able to travel with all their gear in a car. Also My Chemical Romance can go to hell for stealing their name for a song.		0:09:15 (Pop-up)
Cyril Cyril	La Rotation de L'axe "La Rotation de L'axe" by "Cyril Cyril"	La Rotation de L'Axe Single	Born Bad Records	2024	Released just earlier this month this slick little piece of French post punk arrives courtesy of Cyril Cyril. Cyril Yeterian is the former singer and accordion player for Swiss, Cajun blues outfit Mama Rosin. A three-piece that stirred the ghosts of the rogue bayou, the clammy Mardi Gras of some electric Louisiana, releasing 4 albums before they went their separate ways in 2015. As well as his career in making and recording music, Yeterian is also one of the owners of Swiss record label, record store and global taste makers Bongo Joe Records. The title of this translates to "Rotation of the Axis" Fun fact: The reason there’s any such thing as Leap Day at all is because of the physics of planet Earth, specifically the angle of the axis it spins which is slightly off and affects the rotation time.	*	0:11:05 (Pop-up)
Discodeine ft. Jarvis Cocker	Synchronize	Synchronize - Radio Edit	DFA	2010	There could be nothing simpler, nor fairer-spoken, than his celebration of stop-motion romance at the discotheque in "Synchronize." I mean that sentimentally, for in lyrics of familiar pastoral nuance there's a humble poeticism about the places of "organised noise" he refers to. Wristwatches stop as they fall to the floor, hearts beat with the drums and the hands of time are simply yours held in mine. As Cocker mounts an idyll of clubland courtship in words, the duo of Pilooski and Pentile, AKA Discodeine, set it in musical motion with a string ensemble so absorbingly histrionic it absolutely eclipses any would-be tweeness of the electro-pop style in which it's conceived. NASA says that over time, our seasons would fall out of order without the leap day. And not just a little...a LOT. Without them, the summer season we generally experience in June would happen in December 700 years from now. So once every four years...we synchronize!		0:14:32 (Pop-up)
Midnight Juggernauts	This New Technology	The Crystal Axis	Siberia Records	2010	One of the best and most undersung bands of the early 2000's was Australia's Midnight Juggernauts. The band has been described as anything from 'prog dance meets cosmic film scores', to 'slasher-flick disco' to 'deadpan landscape'. I liken them to sexy space rock. They have supported the likes of M83, Justice, Holy Fuck, Tame Impala and The Klaxons..but they just never got the traction they deserved. They have remained inactive since 2014 as a band.		0:18:14 (Pop-up)

Sebadoh	Leap Year "Leap Year" by "Sebadoh"	Act Surprised	Dangerbird	2019	"Act Surprised is the ninth studio album by American indie rock band Sebadoh. It is the band's first album in six years. The album was released on May 24, 2019. The album has seven songs each by Lou Barlow and Jason Loewenstein and one by Bob D’Amico." -- This song is the Bob D'Amico one. -- "Sebadoh formed in 1986 in Northampton, Massachusetts, by Eric Gaffney and Lou Barlow, with multi-instrumentalist Jason Loewenstein completing the line-up in 1989. Barlow co-created Sebadoh as an outlet for his songwriting when J. Mascis gradually took over creative control of Dinosaur Jr., in which Barlow plays bass guitar. //// Along with such bands as Pavement, Beat Happening and Guided by Voices, Sebadoh helped pioneer a lo-fi style of indie rock characterized by low-fidelity recording techniques that employed four-track cassette tape machines. The band's early output, such as The Freed Man and Weed Forestin' (both released 1990), as well as Sebadoh III (1991), was typical of this style. Following the release of Bubble & Scrape in 1993, Gaffney left the band. His replacement and erstwhile stand-in, Bob Fay, appeared on Bakesale (1994) and Harmacy (1996), but was fired before the sessions for the band's major label release The Sebadoh (1999), featuring drummer Russ Pollard. //// The band then went on a 14-year recording hiatus, during which time members pursued other projects while occasionally touring as Sebadoh. The group, fronted by Barlow and now featuring drummer Bob D'Amico, returned in 2012 with the Secret EP and, in 2013, a full-length album titled Defend Yourself, which were both self-recorded. The album Act Surprised followed in 2019."		0:31:06 (Pop-up)
The Stranglers	Outside Tokyo "Outside Tokyo" by "The Stranglers"	Black and White	United Artists	1978	"Black and White is the third studio album by the Stranglers. It was released on 12 May 1978, through record label United Artists in most of the world and A&M in America. As with the Stranglers' first two albums, Black and White was produced by Martin Rushent." This song has to do with the invention and possible end of time, perhaps as related to wristwatch making outside of Tokyo. In any event, it fits into our theme of expanding & disappearing time, such as that which the month of February provides.		0:34:17 (Pop-up)
The Homesick	Leap Year "Leap Year" by "The Homesick"	The Big Exercise	Sub Pop	2020	The Homesick are from Dokkum, Netherlands. Their second album "The Big Exercise brings... ...more grounded, tangible pastures. With its title ripped from a passage in the Scott Walker-biography Deep Shade Of Blue, the record is a concentrated effort by Jaap van der Velde, Erik Woudwijk and Elias Elgersma to explore the physicality of their music in fresh ways. //// “When we were on tour in 2018, I bought Meredith Monk’s Dolmen Music in Switzerland,” Van der Velde recalls, “Elias and I have been completely immersed in her music ever since. But also the work of Joan La Barbara for example, who also did things with extended vocal techniques, that was also quite vital to us. We discovered that the human voice offers so many beautiful elements that can still feel very physical and intrusive.” //// During those formative years, the Dutch trio was often typecast as your resident tricksters. Hailing from the backwater Frisian municipality of Dokkum, Van der Velde, Woudwijk and Elgersma shrewdly courted spirituality under their own nonconformist whims, even if that wasn’t immediately obvious to outsiders. For those on the outside looking in, it was hard to tell whether the band was taking the piss or genuinely unraveling themselves as starry-eyed romantics." The Homesick (Bandcamp)		0:36:30 (Pop-up)
Wire	A Mutual Friend "A Mutual Friend" by "Wire"	154 (Special Edition)	Havest / Pink Flag	1979 / 2018	Opening song for side 2 of Wire's 1979 third full-length LP "154". "The test was written by Lewis. 'It was an attempt to take the cliché of 'moon in June' to its most logical extreme. A lyric in which every month of the year is marshalled to perhaps serve some poetic ideal', he says with a chuckle." ... Newman is quick to recognise the quality of the text: 'I remember I really loved Graham's lyric. And I thought this is something I want to make a really special effort for' //// The recording of the multiple vocal lines took Newman and Thorne a number of days and was reportedly the source of much frustration on the part of Gilbert and Lewis at the time. But it is this subtly layered vocal arrangement that truly elevates this recording, and when Newman's wordless backing vocals enter at 03:30, the song is finally lifted into the realm of the sublime." --- End lyrics "In March, April May and June / July August, September, soon / He might replace the old with the moon / It could be October / November, or even December / So in January and February, remember / He might replace the old with the moon / He might replace the old quite soon"		0:40:51 (Pop-up)
The Fall	Calendar "Calendar" by "The Fall"	Masquerade Single	Artful	1998	The one collaboration between The Fall & Damon Gough, AKA Badly Drawn Boy. (Or, as Mark E Smith called him in a song shortly thereafter, "Badly Bug Drawn".) Also, 1998 marked the last of (then) long-time Fall stalwarts Steve Hanley & Karl Burns. Does this song address the concept of time slippage? Possibly. It's a favourite motif of Smith's (and Science Fiction in general). The final lyrics: "The last - three weeks - were the great month of February / Calendar" Happy Leap Year... You won't see this day again for years... From Annotated Fall: "A song co-written with Damon Gough, otherwise known as "Badly Drawn Boy," who plays guitar on the version of the track on the "Masquerade" single. The song began its life as an instrumental by the latter called "Tumbleweed." Martin has found the following information on the web page of Badly Drawn Boy's booking agent: "After releasing two EPs, Gough's future was graced with a series of fortuitous moments. The first of these came in December 1997 when Mark E Smith mistakenly took Gough's car for a taxi outside a Manchester bar. Smith demanded a lift home and Gough obliged, but only after they agreed that the Fall would record a Badly Drawn Boy song called 'Tumbleweed.'" //// Legend has it that when Smith lurched out of the back seat he left his false teeth behind. //// It has been suggested that the lyrics are a complaint directed at the record company; hard to say. Harley recalls an interview "around the time of Calendar complaining about months passing by while record companies get their act together to release a completed record - and that's the first thing that came to mind when I heard the song. I've never tracked down the interview, but he was still making the same point in 2011: Back inside and with fresh drinks, I ask whether they had to turn around the album quickly to meet his self-imposed Christmas deadline? 'No, it was quite a long process, for me, really. Started about April, so about three or four months. The main thing was to get it out before Christmas. Which is sacrilege in the music business because you can’t bring out things then because there’s a Christmas rush. "Best Hits of Robbie Williams" or whatever, so the factories are all clogged up with crap...People just look at you: "We need six months to do it. We need six weeks to develop the marketing." All this shit. "We need six weeks to do the marketing, six weeks to do the interneting." Can’t you just get the fucking thing out?'""		0:45:27 (Pop-up)

The Diodes	Time Damage "Time Damage" by "The Diodes"	The Diodes	Columbia	1977	The closing track from their eponymous debut full-length. "The Diodes are a Canadian punk rock band formed in 1976 in Toronto. They released five albums: Diodes (1977), Released (1979), Action-Reaction (1980), Survivors (1982), and Time/Damage Live 1978 (2010). They were one of the first Canadian bands to embrace this style of music and helped to foster the original core Punk scene in Toronto. //// The Diodes formed in October 1976 at OCAD University after a chance meeting between members. They played their first gig supporting Talking Heads in January 1977. The band, along with their manager Ralph Alfonso, went on to open Canada's first punk nightclub, the Crash 'n Burn, in June 1977. Many of the city's founding punk bands played in this iconic venue. The first groups to play the club were The Nerves, on a bill with The Diodes. Other international bands performing at the Crash 'n Burn included The Dead Boys. The club, which was housed in The Diodes' basement rehearsal space, was closed at the end of the summer of 1977, due to complaints by the Liberal Party of Ontario (the principal tenants of the building). The Crash 'n Burn was the subject of a movie by experimental filmmaker Ross McLaren, Crash 'n' Burn. Footage of the club also exists in the CBC Television archives because it was the subject of a TV special in 1977. //// The band put out their first record in summer 1977, a single featuring Bruce Eves and Amerigo Maras of the Centre for Experimental Art and Communication (CEAC), an avant garde, performance art collective and gallery. Mickey Skin of the all-girl punk band The Curse spews profanities on one side, The Diodes provide musical backing with Paul Robinson counting down the spoken intervals, on the other. It was released on the Crash 'n' Burn label. One side was called "Raw", the other "War". It is considered one of the first punk records to come out of Canada. The single was actually part of an issue of the CEAC Newsletter (published by CEAC, the owners of the building that housed the Crash 'n' Burn club). //// The Diodes played CBGBs in New York in July 1977 supporting The Cramps as part of a Toronto punk bill featuring The Viletones, Teenage Head, The Curse, The B Girls and The Dents. They signed to Columbia Records in Canada shortly afterward in August 1977, releasing their self-titled debut album The Diodes in October 1977. The release was produced by Bob Gallo and was accompanied by a single with two tracks from the LP. The A-side of the single featured a punk-rock deconstruction of the Cyrkle's sixties hit "Red Rubber Ball". The LP also included a cover of the Max Frost & The Troopers' "Shape of Things to Come" done in a similar style, along with eight original tunes written by the band. It was domestically released in Europe and Australia, however it was overlooked in the US and UK, where it was import only."		0:49:41 (Pop-up)

Madness	Tomorrow's Just Another Day	Tomorrow's Just Another Day 7"	Stiff Records	1983	"Tomorrow's (Just Another Day)" is a song by British band Madness from their fourth album The Rise & Fall. It spent 9 weeks in the UK charts, peaking at # 8 in February 1983. The single version is a slight remix of the album track. A slower, blues-style version of the song, with Elvis Costello on vocals. The lyrics reflect a sense of weariness and hopelessness, with the protagonist feeling like they have given their best but still can't find peace. The repeated phrase "Tomorrow's just another day" can be seen as both a pessimistic and optimistic viewpoint. On one hand, it implies that each new day brings more of the same struggles and weariness. On the other hand, it suggests that there is hope for improvement and that things might get better with time.		1:15:19 (Pop-up)

"Jim Reid spoke to Under the Radar recently and said of the album: “It will be a bit different; it’s quite experimental and electronic. Not so much that you won’t recognize it as the Mary Chain, but yeah, we messed about with the sound a bit.” //// Jim Reid had this to say about the album in a previous press release: “Don’t expect ‘the Mary Chain goes jazz.’ People should expect a Jesus and Mary Chain record, and that’s certainly what Glasgow Eyes is. Our creative approach is remarkably the same as it was in 1984—just hit the studio and see what happens. We went in with a bunch of songs and let it take its course. There are no rules; you just do whatever it takes. And there’s a telepathy there—we are those weird, not-quite twins that finish each other’s sentences.”"	*	1:32:01 (Pop-up)
Jah Wobble	SOO 135 "SOO 135" by "Jah Wobble"	A Brief History Of Now	Cleopatra Records	2023	Released Aug 4, 2023... "Does this man ever stop working?

You may 2022’s Metal Box: Rebuilt In Dub, actually from the year before, his revisiting of the magisterial Public Image Limited outing of 1979, in which he, together with guitarist, Jon Klein (Siouxsie & the Banshees et al), reassembled a bevy of tracks from the original, casting it in a very idiosyncratically Wobble light, at best barely remisniscent of the original, but gloriously complementary. I guess it followed on a 2012 tour by Wobble and the late Keith Levene, the original PIL guitarist, Metal Box: Built In Dub, You can catch the drift. Klein and Wobble have now reconvened to carry on the adventure, with, this time, new material. //// Subterranean bass introduces SOO 135, with, yes, Banshee-esque guitar, the thump of echoed drums probably Wobble’s own. An instrumental, there are sounds of alarms and sirens: the apocalypse is now. The sax tone here is 100% Nik Turner, which has me deliciously imagine a Wobble/Hawkwind collab, not least as modulators ring. A murky maelstrom that begs louder. I Am I Am I Am is a dubby construct, Klein’s guitar a sparse clip, Wobble near singing, words from the edge of the abyss. The near naked voice just about hangs on the skeletal backing, each uncertain of the responsibility to carry the eeriness onward. The bass is hypnotic, as it should be. Fashion World then has a near orthodox structure, the sprechgesang touching the parts Ian Dury might have gone with this material. Fizzing guitar keeps it real, the focus pure post rock, post punk, call it what you will. And you will find yourself singing the “Hello , Hello” refrain, I guarantee"		1:35:05 (Pop-up)

This official release (on CAN's Spoon label, via Mute Records) followed two weeks after Suzuki's Feb 8 2024 death. --- In keeping with our Leap Year extra-day theme, this track is, in fact, "One More Night", originally from 1972's Ege Bamyasi. Akin to how time expands in a Leap Year February, this live version extends the song by at least an additional 3 minutes.

The Cure	A Strange Day "A Strange Day" by "The Cure"	Pornography		1982	“A Strange Day”, a song about, according to Robert Smith, “how I would feel if it would only be the end of the world”, is backed by the same driving force that appeared on “A Short Term Effect”, only this time it’s slightly slower. The drums and prominent bassline are also reminiscent of the band’s 1981 single, “Charlotte Sometimes”. Pornography is the fourth studio album by English rock band the Cure, released on 4 May 1982 by Fiction Records. Preceded by the non-album single "Charlotte Sometimes", it was the band's first album with new producer Phil Thornalley, and was recorded at RAK Studios from January to April 1982.

	🏝 ♥ 8:14pm ultradamno: Reminds me of the video of B-52s synced to Transmission www.youtube.com...
	♥ 8:15pm DJ Babs: How’d everyone’s leap day go? I gotta say it felt like I was in some fog today…this day is weird lol
	♥ 8:15pm listener 126464: Hi. Nice to be listening!
	♥ 8:17pm DJ Babs: Hello Hello and welcome to the beach Listener126464 please help yourself to a towel and the tropical beverage of your choice!
	🏝 ♥ 8:18pm Derek Westerholm: Thank-you listener 126464 for listening!
	🏝 ♥ 8:19pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ listener 126464 @8:15 How are you doing, how is the listening these days?
	🏝 ♥ 8:19pm ultradamno: Was just reminded of the one Trump position I'm on board with "“Right now, a number of state laws allow a baby to be born from his or her mother’s womb in the ninth month. It is wrong. It has to change" www.snopes.com...
	♥ 8:21pm DJ Babs: Good goddess. I'm just buckling up for the impending nonsense.
	♥ 8:22pm Roberto: So, we're for banning all 9th-month deliveries?
	♥ 8:23pm DJ Babs: Instead I will drift away on waves of Australian space pop.....lol
	♥ 8:23pm DJ Babs: ↳ Roberto @8:22 unreal LOL
	🏝 ♥ 8:23pm ultradamno: We are going where no man has gone before in the field of nonsense this year, that's a guarantee
	🏝 ♥ 8:24pm ultradamno: I'm for a moratorium on all new people. Earth is full for the time being.
	8:26pm Robm: ↳ ultradamno @8:23 IKR trying not to doom scroll all day, either listening to this station or i get news from the BBC, don’t need the stress
	🏝 ♥ 8:28pm ultradamno: Doom scrolling always, as Strawberry Alarm Clock said "Evil things make me laugh so...I'm hummin' happy"
	♥ 8:29pm listener 126464: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:19 Listening has been superb for decades!
	8:30pm Robm: ↳ ultradamno @8:28 i can’t spend all day doing that, plus screw cable news
	🏝 ♥ 8:30pm ultradamno: I'm fresh out of medals for you
	🏝 ♥ 8:32pm Will thee Sound Guy: hi DJ Babs, Derek, and all!!!
	8:32pm Robm: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @8:32 hey will
	♥ 8:34pm Dan S: Earth's year is slightly less than 365.25 days long. That's why, in the Gregorian calendar, years divisible by 100 are NOT leap years (UNLESS they are also divisible by 400). So the year 2100 will NOT be a leap year.
	♥ 8:34pm DJ Babs: Hi Will! Great to see ya!
	🏝 ♥ 8:34pm Will thee Sound Guy: hi Robm, ultradamno, Roberto, 126464, Alli B, Scotty, Dan S and anyone I missed!
	🏝 ♥ 8:35pm ultradamno: Hiya Will!
	♥ 8:35pm DJ Babs: ↳ Dan S @8:34 Hi Dan! And thank you for the extra math lol. My brain is weed addled today.
	♥ 8:36pm DJ Babs: Sebadoh is a band that I always mean to delve deeper into and I never get the time!
	♥ 8:38pm Dan S: ↳ DJ Babs @8:35 You're welcome. Every so often I have to prove that I'm a nerd, lest there be any doubt.
	🏝 ♥ 8:38pm ultradamno: The Flaming Stars Peel Session 10" (in the same series as the Essential Logic one, scroll down the right sidebar) is available pre-order, if you are looking for BC Friday purchases preciousrecordingsoflondon.bandcamp.com... ...and Cuntroaches album is out cuntroaches.bandcamp.com... it's LOUD
	🏝 ♥ 8:39pm Alli B: One of my very first roommates in Vancouver, Bimal, was OBSESSED with Sebadoh. Ngl, he kinda put me off them even though they’re great. 😂
	🏝 ♥ 8:39pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Outside Tokyo" by "The Stranglers" The Sexy Beast TV show finally got around to playing Stranglers...and Sex Pistols
	🏝 ♥ 8:40pm Derek Westerholm: Hello there Dan S, hey hey WillTheeSG, hello!!!!
	♥ 8:40pm listener 126464: ↳ Will thee Sound Guy @8:34 Hi to you WtSG!
	🏝 ♥ 8:41pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @8:39 (for some reason they partially remade the pool season from the movie in the pilot with The Clash's Should I Stay instead of Peaches)
	♥ 8:42pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:38 As always thank you for the release tips!
	♥ 8:42pm DJ Babs: ↳ Alli B @8:39 Ah yes. I hate it when ppl ruin music! For me it’s Dukes of Stratosphear.
	♥ 8:43pm DJ Babs: Also wait what there’s a sexy beast tv show?
	🏝 ♥ 8:43pm ultradamno: Sounds like when I saw Jesus Lizard and wanted to tell every other audience to simmer down already
	🏝 ♥ 8:44pm Will thee Sound Guy: as shakey as things are, I'm glad that they are still doing BC Friday. I had my doubts after the sale.
	🏝 ♥ 8:45pm ultradamno: ↳ DJ Babs @8:43 Yeah, it's on Showtime. It's a prequel of Gal and Don first stepping up their thieving game. It's not terrible, but it is kind of superfluous
	8:45pm Tyler: Good evening Meepers & Moopers! Tuned in just in time for WIRE! Good timing!
	♥ 8:45pm DJ Babs: Heeeeey Tyler! Awesome to aee ya!
	8:46pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @8:45 Hi Babs, likewise!
	♥ 8:46pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:45 Hmmmm. I’m currently obsessed by space shows and Korean cooking shows it seems!
	🏝 ♥ 8:47pm ultradamno: I love Resident Alien...which is sort of a space show.
	8:48pm Tyler: I've finished watching both seasons of of White Lotus & now am trying to set time aside to watch the new season of Tokyo Vice. Finally watched all of Oppenheimer on the weekend...
	🏝 ♥ 8:48pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @8:47 ...though I think apparently writing out grumpy scarf head is a mistake, but adding Blue Avian giant bird lady alien almost makes up for it.
	8:49pm Tyler: ...and Dune Part 2 comes out tomorrow.
	🏝 ♥ 8:49pm Alli B: 💃🕺
	♥ 8:49pm DJ Babs: Nice! You might have just sold me with giant blue bird lady!
	8:49pm Tyler: Sounded like Prince Far-I for a moment.
	♥ 8:50pm DJ Babs: ↳ Tyler @8:48 I have to try white lotus again…I fell off the first few episodes first season….
	🏝 ♥ 8:50pm ultradamno: ↳ DJ Babs @8:49 Scroll down a little to get a look at her www.syfy.com...
	♥ 8:51pm DJ Babs: I’m also obsessed by two reality shows…the one where they blow glass…and the other where they make tiny miniature houses.
	🏝 ♥ 8:51pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Alli B @8:39 TBH, Sebadoh have never really captured my attention even when I've made an effort. I immediately liked this one though... Ends up it was the only song from the newest album written by the newest Sebadoh member, so maybe that's why. Like Babs says, I'd have to delve deeper...
	🏝 ♥ 8:51pm ultradamno: ↳ DJ Babs @8:50 All of White's work is just so much hang wringing.
	8:51pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @8:50 Everyone is fairly unlikeable & can summon some vacation PTSD, but it has its moments. I mainly tuned in to season 2 because I quite like Aubrey Plaza.
	♥ 8:51pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:50 SOLD
	♥ 8:52pm DJ Babs: ↳ Tyler @8:51 I hear the second season is really good!
	8:52pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @8:51 I'm also quite hooked on 'The Repair Shop'.
	🏝 ♥ 8:52pm Alli B: Music’s extra 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
	🏝 ♥ 8:53pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @8:45 Hello hello, good eve, Tyler! Yay! Hi!
	🏝 ♥ 8:53pm Will thee Sound Guy: killin it
	8:53pm ?: Hi guys! I’m so sorry I’m late to the party
	🏝 ♥ 8:53pm Alli B: Saw The Diodes at the Sound of Music festival as well!
	8:53pm Tyler: I need to get me some Diodes records. Only have their stuff on comps.
	♥ 8:54pm DJ Babs: Img speaking of TV news my friend is on the newly announced season of Big Brother Canada…it’s fucking crazy LOL. www.bigbrothercanada.ca...
	8:54pm Tyler: ↳ Alli B @8:53 Very cool, Alli!
	♥ 8:54pm DJ Babs: ↳ @8:53 Hellli late question mark friend!!!
	8:54pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:53 Hi Hi, Derek!
	🏝 ♥ 8:54pm Alli B: Babs I loved Dinis’ video 😂
	8:54pm lesliehastonhurst: I’m “?”
	♥ 8:55pm DJ Babs: Leslieeeeeeeeeeee
	8:55pm lesliehastonhurst: Hey honey
	🏝 ♥ 8:55pm Alli B: Hi Leslie!
	8:55pm Tyler: Tried to watch Law & Order Toronto earlier in the week, but it wasn't clicking for me. I'll give it another chance, but I think that franchise has gotten pretty far from its roots, in general...
	8:56pm lesliehastonhurst: Hi lovely
	8:56pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @8:54 Good luck to them :)
	8:57pm Robm: hi leslie
	🏝 ♥ 8:57pm Alli B: Oh Tyler, I tried to get into it as well but the acting is terrible
	♥ 8:57pm DJ Babs: Oh noooo! We don’t get it for some reason!?
	♥ 8:58pm DJ Babs: I love bad Canadian TV tho. I’m obsessed by Hudson and Rex. It’s like a modern littlest hobo!!!
	🏝 ♥ 8:59pm ultradamno: I watched FBI: Most Wanted (a Dick Wolf production) this week, it seems to be suffering for lack of Alexa Davalos and more Dylan McDermott stinger line readings. It's always been laughable, for show with this much murder, but it's just silly...
	8:59pm Tyler: ↳ Alli B @8:57 Yeah, it's almost parody level acting. Like Kroll Show's 'Dead Girl Town' :)
	🏝 ♥ 9:00pm ultradamno: The CW is a lot of Canadian TV since the shake up. Family Law, Son Of A Critch, Children Ruin Everything, Moonshine...
	9:02pm Tyler: @Derek, so Badly-Drawn-Boy kidnapped Mark E. Smith? :)
	9:03pm DJ Blush: Hi everyone!
	9:03pm v-dawg: Hi Derek and Babs
	🏝 ♥ 9:04pm Alli B: Hi Britt!!
	🏝 ♥ 9:04pm ultradamno: Big orange moon here yesterday
	9:05pm v-dawg: Your show is playing the background. Then i hear "Fuck that shit". Now i am checking in.
	♥ 9:05pm DJ Babs: Hey V-Dawg! Thanks for joining that! And yes...the profanity is like a call to action sometimes...
	🏝 ♥ 9:05pm coelacanth∅: greetings Babs & Derek and transmitties
	🏝 ♥ 9:05pm ultradamno: ...I expect that's how the moon is cheese idea comes from.
	9:06pm Tyler: Time is Strangling your wrist!
	🏝 ♥ 9:06pm ultradamno: Though you don't replace aged cheese.
	9:06pm Tyler: Hi Leslie & Britt!
	9:08pm Tyler: Smoke on the water!
	♥ 9:10pm DJ Babs: Hi Blush! Hi Coela!!
	🏝 ♥ 9:10pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:51 but sebadoh created "freed pig" - which is good...but the cover by the breeders is Required Listening
	🏝 ♥ 9:10pm Alli B: Tuuuune
	♥ 9:11pm DJ Babs: Feb 29th just makes me feel all like this...
	9:12pm Tyler: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:10 I really like early Sebadoh & their cover of Nick Drake's 'Pink Moon' is pretty great!
	9:13pm DJ Blush: Hello my peeps
	🏝 ♥ 9:13pm Alli B: 😂😂😂 yessss
	9:15pm Tyler: So B.A.D. it needed a sequel...
	🏝 ♥ 9:15pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @8:38 Also, Messer Chups new album pre-order messer-chups.bandcamp.com... and, 777 Was 666 have one Controlled Bleeding cassette left 777was666.bandcamp.com...
	🏝 ♥ 9:15pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Tyler @9:12 i like early sebadoh. i guess,like Derek it never grabbed me... but then, it grabbed me enough that i bought a 2-lp compilation. i don't crave to hear it often but enjoy it when i do.
	🏝 ♥ 9:17pm coelacanth∅: (bought in the 90s, after hearing breeders' version of freed pig)
	🏝 ♥ 9:17pm Alli B: 🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏
	9:17pm Tyler: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:15 Fair enough. I enjoyed what Sebadoh were doing more than the direction Dinosaur Jr went in at the time. But, I certainly didn't buy every record by either band. Some appealed to me more than others.
	🏝 ♥ 9:17pm Derek Westerholm: Hello Leslie! Blush! v-dawg! Coel...!
	🏝 ♥ 9:18pm Derek Westerholm: Will have to give Sebadoh closer attention... I do quite love the Breeders cover!
	♥ 9:19pm DJ Babs: I absolutely love this song. It's like I think my favouite.
	🏝 ♥ 9:19pm ultradamno: ↳ Tyler @9:17 Neither band did much for me, to be honest.
	9:19pm DJ Blush: Great song!!
	9:19pm DJ Blush: Makes me want to lurk around a castle in a cloak
	🏝 ♥ 9:20pm Alli B: Omg Britt 😂😂😂 But yes!
	🏝 ♥ 9:21pm Alli B: What a cover!
	♥ 9:21pm DJ Babs: Honestly this is truly the greatest cover ever
	9:22pm DJ Blush: Trippy
	9:22pm Tyler: Sounds as though it were recorded straight to tape with no over-dubs or edits. I love this kind of warm, minimal electronica...
	9:23pm DJ Blush: I always listen to Transmissions on headphones – and usually baked off my tits, so I highly suggest both!
	🏝 ♥ 9:24pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Tyler @9:17 i just looked and it's sebadoh III i thought was a comp... i have another album by them then but i forgot which one. but yeah dinosaur jr was (is) a one-trick pony to my ears. good, but limited in scope.
	🏝 ♥ 9:24pm ultradamno: That made me think of Steve Miller Band, which reminded me of the time they were on Later with Jools next to Jim Jones Revue and kind of goofing on them and now I want to hear Burning Your House Down
	9:25pm Tyler: Where's the MEEPMOOP SCHWAG?!?! I ask you...
	9:26pm DJ Blush: Genius idea, Tyler! Def make Transmissions tote bags with a drawing of meep on it
	9:26pm Tyler: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:24 Sebadoh III is probably my favourite of the early period. That, or Smash Your Head
	🏝 ♥ 9:27pm ultradamno: Joint Meepmoop and Princess Tinkle swag I call for now. Bowls maybe (since the station already had collars now...and only a masochist puts a collar on a cat)
	🏝 ♥ 9:30pm ultradamno: There is only the Pork Dukes
	9:32pm GrumpyT: What did I miss?
	9:33pm laurapanic: I'm late, I missed the Flaa but I love hearing Derek and Babs even just for 30mins, and to hear new JAMC
	9:33pm laurapanic: Flaa = Fall
	🏝 ♥ 9:34pm ultradamno: Rockin'....after midnight
	♥ 9:35pm DJ Babs: ↳ GrumpyT @9:32 Heeeey Grumpy! About 2/3 of the show but that’s ok! LOL
	♥ 9:36pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:27 We are definitely down with MeepMoop swag ❤️
	9:36pm GrumpyT: Just got in from thriftiing.
	♥ 9:36pm DJ Babs: Oooooh any good scores?
	🏝 ♥ 9:37pm ultradamno: Errr, Living...After Midnight. Never thought I'd openly compare JAMC to Judas Priest, and yet....
	9:37pm Tyler: Surprisingly springy for JAMC. Glad it sounds like they've gotten out of the pastoral Americana mode they were in on the past few records.
	♥ 9:37pm DJ Babs: ↳ GrumpyT @9:36 Midnight drifter, late night thrifter!
	9:37pm GrumpyT: Nah... Almost bought lazer guided melodies on cassette... But have enough useless junk lying around.
	9:38pm DJ Blush: Hey Grump!
	9:38pm GrumpyT: Hey Britney. ❤️
	9:38pm Tyler: ↳ GrumpyT @9:37 There might have been some residue on that cassette :)
	♥ 9:39pm DJ Babs: ↳ Tyler @9:37 I actually enjoyed that JAMC!
	♥ 9:39pm DJ Babs: Ah this is the skronk I needed
	9:40pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @9:39 Yeah, sounded like there is still some life in them.
	9:40pm Tyler: Awww... DAMO :(
	🏝 ♥ 9:41pm ultradamno: Speaking of skronk, Bandcamp article on NY No Wave daily.bandcamp.com... and James Chance has health issues and a go fund me, if you want to help www.gofundme.com...
	9:42pm Tyler: Nice segue from the JAH to the CAN, BTW...
	🏝 ♥ 9:43pm Scott_Oz: ↳ laurapanic @9:33 & it's the 1st day of Flaa = Fall = Autumn!
	🏝 ♥ 9:44pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @9:42 Why thank-you, Tyler... I was trying to think of something all week, and it just came to mind during the set... Besides, Babs had suggested Wobble, so there it is... Live-in-the-moment radio!
	9:45pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:44 Beauty, eh!
	🏝 ♥ 9:45pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ GrumpyT @9:32 Hey there GrumpyT! If a tree falls and GrumpyT is not there to witness, is anything missed?
	9:46pm Tyler: ↳ ultradamno @9:41 Sorry to hear.
	♥ 9:46pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:41 Yeah he has been struggling for a while with his health…man that sucks.
	🏝 ♥ 9:47pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ laurapanic @9:33 Hello there Laurapanic... Always wonderful to see you for any portion of time... Hello!
	♥ 9:48pm DJ Babs: And yes I think I missed a hullo to Laura. How’s it going there aren’t there some crazy weather shit happening?
	9:49pm Tyler: Quite a great-sounding live recording!
	♥ 9:50pm DJ Babs: Agreed! We are attending a live record recording this weekend!
	9:53pm Bob Barth: Good evening you guys!! Great show! Folks follow me this way into the next hour: wfmu.org...
	9:53pm GrumpyT: I like your analogy Derek... I'm applauding with the sound of one hand clapping.
	9:55pm DJ Blush: I call it a free day lol
	9:55pm DJ Blush: Thanks for another one! Love you guys!
	🏝 ♥ 9:56pm Scott_Oz: Thanks Babs & Derek, always a pleasure on the beach! 🌏🌞🍻😎🤙💨🍺🍺🌻
	9:56pm DJ Blush: Aw yaaay I love this song so much! Love you guys!
	🏝 ♥ 9:56pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ GrumpyT @9:53 lol
	9:56pm Tyler: Thanks Babs & Derek. Goodnight Beachers in the chat!
	🏝 ♥ 9:57pm Alli B: Thank you so much! Danced a ton!
	♥ 9:58pm DJ Babs: Awww thank you Blush! Happy Dancing Alli!
	♥ 9:58pm DJ Babs: Hooray and thank you so much for hanging out tonight!
	🏝 ♥ 9:58pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Song: "A Strange Day" by "The Cure" Perfect closer!
	🏝 ♥ 9:58pm Derek Westerholm: Thank-YOU all for listening. Truly so special to share this time & space with you! Good night/day/afternoon... Whatever it is, wherever you are, whenever you happen to be there.
	🏝 ♥ 9:58pm coelacanth∅: when this cure album came out i decided that if i would finally decide to off myself i'd make this album the soundtrack.
	🏝 ♥ 10:00pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:58 Luckily for us all, then, that some cheery-ish ones followed...
	🏝 ♥ 10:00pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Derek! Thanks Babs!
