	9:02pm Rich in Washington: Wendy!
	9:02pm ironybread: Hiya you dirty reds! Let's get some blue on our fingers!
	🥁 9:02pm Wendy del Formaggio: Is this a dictation disc? I play these on my show too!
	🥁 9:02pm Kat in the chat: Rich! Wendy! ultra! irony!
	9:02pm tom tom the pipers son: hello rich and people...
	9:03pm ironybread: #Communist #Concert #Concerto
	🥁 9:03pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ ironybread @9:02 Better red than... uh... not a communist!
	🥁 9:03pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:02 Kat!
	9:04pm ultradamno: Hiya Kat!
	9:04pm Oats: Who's got a vase for these flowers? Hey all.
	🥁 9:04pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:02 I think Rich said it's pronunciation for broadcasters?
	9:04pm Rich in Washington: Hi ironybread! Hi Kat! Hi tom tom! Hi Oats! Hi everyne!
	🥁 9:05pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Bluebird" by "Harry Dean Stanton" This has been such a Plate of Shrimp week. Repo Man is appearing EVERYWHERE, and now here's HDS. Yay!
	9:05pm pot8o: hi everyone!
	9:05pm ultradamno: I remember my dad telling me he wouldn't vote for Trump because he thought he was a socialist, I bit my tongue and repeated "he's not voting for him, take the win" in my head)
	🥁 9:05pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:04 Even better! I wish I had that disc.
	🥁 9:06pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey pot8o!
	9:06pm Rich in Washington: pot8o!
	9:06pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Captain Of Her Heart" by "Double" just proves the universal rule: all 45s sound better played at 33 1/3
	9:06pm tom tom the pipers son: re: image at top... londonartstudies.com...
	9:06pm Oats: ↳ Song: "Captain Of Her Heart" by "Double" Sounds like the Nestle Alpine White commercial at this speed. Getting hungry.
	🥁 9:07pm Kat in the chat: ↳ pot8o @9:05 I just noticed earlier that someone near me's wifi network is "potato". if I knew who it was I'd tell them to correct their spelling
	🥁 9:07pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:07 Hahaha!
	9:07pm Rich in Washington: No offense to anyone else here but I think pot8o has the cutest username.
	9:07pm Oats: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:07 I call my computers, PEANUT and POTATO and PISTACHIO
	9:08pm ultradamno: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:07 Sometimes i just see 'headset' and wish I had the skills to hack the station feed into it...
	🥁 9:08pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:07 Hear hear!
	🥁 9:08pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Oats @9:07 Never thought of naming my laptops!
	9:08pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:07 thank you! i'm honored
	🥁 9:09pm Kat in the chat: ↳ ultradamno @9:08 that would be fun
	🥁 9:09pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Captain Of Her Heart" by "Double" Was this a hit? It's only vaguely familiar.
	🥁 9:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:08 I haven't named my laptops anything special, but my iPhone is named "Hail Satan" because when I connect it to my bluetooth speaker, it says, "Now connected to 'Hail Satan.'" And that makes me smile every time.
	🥁 9:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:09 It was a big hit on the "adult contemporary" stations in the mid-80s.
	🥁 9:11pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:10 That's cool! My bluetooth speakers just make boopy electronic noises.
	9:11pm pot8o: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:09 it hit #16 on the hot 100 here, but it was a huge hit across the pond
	9:12pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:10 For some reason I thought it was a much earlier song than it was.
	🥁 9:12pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ pot8o @9:11 I consider it latter-day Yacht Rock.
	🥁 9:14pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Morning In The Sub-Basement Of Hell" by "Steven J... I bet this guy is, or was, fun at parties.
	🥁 9:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:12 Right?! Probably because of the Yacht Rock thing. It really does sound like 1981 docked in a Southern California marina with cocaine lined up on the highly polished table.
	9:14pm pot8o: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:12 i always thought this was a randy crawford cover, but it's the other way around, this was first & then she covered it
	🥁 9:15pm Wendy del Formaggio: I believe I hear the Minutemen. I do, I do!
	🥁 9:15pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "#1 Hit Song" by "Minutemen" haha, I have that Rockford photo, too!
	9:15pm A➡B (A to tha B): HI Rich & Radio Wreckers! There's a copy of the Double LP somewhere in the only crate of vinyl we have here in the basement. I first heard "Captain Of Her Heart" on a radio program (that I'm sure you might be familiar with, by way of Wesley Willis) called Rock Over London when it became a Top 5 hit in the UK.
	🥁 9:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ pot8o @9:14 I don't know Randy Crawford. Do tell!
	9:16pm Rich in Washington: Hi A-B!
	🥁 9:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey A to tha B!
	🥁 9:17pm Kat in the chat: ↳ A➡B (A to tha B) @9:15 Rock Over London aired on WXRT in Chicago, don't think i heard Double on there though
	9:17pm pot8o: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:16 soul/r&b singer, really really popular in the uk but never charted solo here
	9:18pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "#1 Hit Song" by "Minutemen" Tape of the one time I got to see them, on their last tour archive.org...
	9:18pm tom tom the pipers son: wonder is langley is still operating and if they covered W.A.P.
	9:18pm Rich in Washington: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:18 LOL
	9:19pm coelacanth∅: greetings Rich and others
	9:19pm Rich in Washington: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:19 yo, coel!
	9:19pm A➡B (A to tha B): ↳ Kat in the chat @9:17 Well, that's where I first heard it. This was back in '85. Maybe WXRT wasn't yet part of the ROL network at the time.
	9:20pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ ultradamno @9:18 do you know of the city gardens minuteman show in the fmu archive somewhere...recommended
	🥁 9:20pm Kat in the chat: ↳ A➡B (A to tha B) @9:19 No it was, I just didn't listen every week.
	9:20pm pot8o: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:18 some of the songs that they covered already are definitely songs elementary schoolers shouldn't be singing
	9:22pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ pot8o @9:20 yes but what's in the mainstream today is very different...you mean like 'desperado'
	9:22pm ultradamno: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:20 Yep, that was great, basically the same set equivalent quality (the Hoosier Ballroom set plays straight through and may be a little longer) wfmu.org...
	9:23pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ pot8o @9:20 the didn't do 'pull up to my bumper'
	9:23pm A➡B (A to tha B): ↳ Kat in the chat @9:20 As I wrote above, it was a UK Top 5 hit before it got to the US. You had to wait until the last quarter of the show for the UK Top 5 countdown.
	9:24pm pot8o: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:22 moreso "you're sixteen" by johnny burnette
	9:24pm davefromtoronto: damn i missed the bukowski part of the show!
	9:25pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ ultradamno @9:22 thanks for the link. joe carducci from sst was on john allen this morning ...only caught a bit of it..
	9:25pm davefromtoronto: AND "captain of her heart!"
	9:25pm ironybread: you want horrifying? try me organizing things in my dreams :)
	9:26pm Rich in Washington: ↳ davefromtoronto @9:24 there could be more Bukowski. You never know.
	9:26pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ironybread @9:25 I am singularly talented in losing records and CDs.
	🥁 9:26pm Kat in the chat: The O.J. thing was a big part of my mid-90s sojourn in Manhattan, in multiple ways. I hardly ever think about it now so it was weird to see that he died.
	9:28pm ironybread: do you have either of Harry Shearer's OJ CDs? was thinking about them this week...
	9:28pm ultradamno: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:25 Oh, that's cool. Carducci guest dj'ing a special Sleepers and Sleepers adjacent show: wfmu.org...
	9:29pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ironybread @9:28 No! I only have on Shearer CD, the Was It Something I Said one.
	9:29pm davefromtoronto: the OJ joke norm did on the ESPYS was SAVAGE!
	9:29pm A➡B (A to tha B): Was anybody else besides me listening via a media player having any hangups with the stream? (It's coming in good now.)
	9:30pm davefromtoronto: that Bassholes album cover is so good!
	9:30pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ pot8o @9:24 ha! funny how things slipped through back then, people had blinders on, and the kids had no idea of the implications of what they were singing so they were immune
	9:31pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ ultradamno @9:28 oh...
	9:31pm ironybread: Here's Harry's "John Tesh and Kato's Peter and the Wolf" drive.google.com...
	9:32pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Juiced" by "O.J. Simpson" pyxis.nymag.com... Context: www.vulture.com...
	9:32pm davefromtoronto: anything re OJ is fair game.
	9:33pm ironybread: Wow, this is one for the evidence locker ;)
	9:35pm ultradamno: ↳ davefromtoronto @9:32 In that spirit www.theonion.com...
	9:36pm tom tom the pipers son: actually had a theory that the embedded image of the white bronco chase in our collective unconscious is perpetuating the recent violent car stops involving black men
	9:37pm davefromtoronto: ↳ ultradamno @9:35 nice. norm would've appreciated that.
	9:37pm the verdugo recluse: show is kicking ass. appreciate.
	9:38pm Rich in Washington: ↳ the verdugo recluse @9:37 Thanks! Thanks also to ironybread for this segment!
	9:39pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:36 police car stops.... oops
	9:40pm A➡B (A to tha B): Came as a shock that they reported the cause of death as cancer. So typical of celebs to keep critical health issues out of public knowledge until things make a turn for the worse. How much do you think O.J. football cards are going to be worth now that he's gone?
	9:40pm Feldy: Hey Rich!
	9:40pm Rich in Washington: I remember watching the bronco chase live while visiting my parents. It was surreal.
	9:41pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Feldy @9:40 Feldy! Howdy!
	9:41pm ultradamno: ...also though, phones with cameras really helped make what was already happening all the time seem like it was accelerating
	9:45pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "O.J. And His Personal Trainer Kill Ron And Nicole... I'll bet Don-O played this tonight
	9:45pm Feldy: LOL Norm. Greatest troller of all time
	🥁 9:46pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:45 Actually, no. I've never heard it before myself.
	🥁 9:46pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "O.J. And His Personal Trainer Kill Ron And Nicole... Ouch, yeah, this is pretty rough.
	9:46pm A➡B (A to tha B): ↳ Rich in Washington @9:40 I caught the live coverage too as they were making their way down Ventura Highway. Then when the LAPD had him holed up at home, one of Howard Stern's wacko fans decided to take advantage of the occasion and make a prank phone call to ABC News, only to get ratted out by the network's sports commentator Al Michaels.
	9:46pm Rich in Washington: I love how Norm just kept doing it with the knowledge that it was pissing off an NBC executive.
	🥁 9:47pm Kat in the chat: It is, and I'm a massive Negativland fan.
	🥁 9:48pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:47 (agreeing with Wendy)
	9:48pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:46 I stopped it. it's rather dumb and tasteless.
	9:49pm Rich in Washington: I think they just really needed an extra track for that EP but probably should've left it off.
	🥁 9:50pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:48 Thanks, Rich. I think there are great ways to make art that comments on the OJ thing -- and any gender-based violence -- but I think Negativland missed the mark with that one.
	9:50pm tom tom the pipers son: rosa lopez...? that reference is lost to time
	9:50pm pot8o: bill frisell! been listening to his "meditations on mingus" album recently, it's really good, bill frisell is top-notch when he's trying to be super unnerving
	9:51pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:48 Reminded me of The Sonics' The Village Idiot that appears as an extra on some CDs...that could have easily been left to oblivion
	9:51pm pot8o: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:50 she was a witness in the trial, she was oj's next door neighbor's maid who claimed she saw his bronco at the house during the murders
	9:52pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ pot8o @9:51 oh... did you just look that up...?
	9:52pm pot8o: (but take my word with a grain of salt, i just googled it for 5 seconds because i was -11 years old when this happened)
	9:52pm A➡B (A to tha B): ↳ Rich in Washington @9:46 That would explain why Norm was at odds with Lorne and the others in the production staff when he voluntarily left the show.
	9:53pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @9:51 (not that track, specifically, just you saying that)
	9:53pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:50 Yep. I can see making fun of the media reaction, the celebrity exceptionalism but nothing about the murders was funny and that he really got away with it and died without really suffering any consequences is kind of infuriating.
	9:53pm pot8o: ↳ pot8o @9:52 (-10, it was '95, not '94)
	🥁 9:54pm Wendy del Formaggio: I honestly just had to look up which year the whole OJ thing happened, because I was barely aware of it then. It was 1995. I was still in college, and living off-campus without cable tv, and internet had yet to come to Brattleboro... or much else, for that matter. Except drugs. There were plenty of those, which may also explain why I wasn't paying attention to national news.
	9:56pm A➡B (A to tha B): ↳ Rich in Washington @9:53 He died of cancer, so he got fitting retribution.
	🥁 9:56pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:53 Everything you said, Rich. Yup. Also, the white supremacy angle needs to be considered for comedic treatment. How do we talk about a Black man killing his white ex-wife without, well... ya know... falling prey to tropes. This is where really good comedy can help. Or completely hit wrong.
	🥁 9:56pm Kat in the chat: I don't really feel like talking about my memories of it, not because they aren't interesting -- they are -- but I don't feel like thinking about the person who was part of most of them (an ex)
	9:56pm Rich in Washington: ↳ A➡B (A to tha B) @9:56 Prostate cancer at that. Yow!
	9:57pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:53 maybe instructional about the creative process in some way. maybe anger is sometimes the wrong energy
	🥁 9:57pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:56 Hmm. That's some cold justice right there.
	🥁 9:58pm Kat in the chat: It was wild to hear those Norm jokes again
	🥁 9:59pm Kat in the chat: Wendy has made on-air snacking a part of her show :)
	9:59pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:58 yes couldn't help but think what he'd have done with gaza
	9:59pm A➡B (A to tha B): ↳ Rich in Washington @9:56 Something I thankfully had the forethougt to get checked for in time. I'm not the spring chicken I used to be back in the day.
	🥁 10:01pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:59 It's true! I love eating food on the air! I also love encouraging everyone else to have a little nosh.
	10:02pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:59 thinking of it is really beyond the realm of the possible
	10:02pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:53 i remember someone showing me the police escort ("chase") on tv and i was confused. "so, where are they escorting him to? ... "what 'chase'? he's going like 40mph" - and knew then that he'd essentially get away with murder. rip, oj. (rot in piss)
	10:06pm coelacanth∅: on actually sad news: Clarence "frogman" Henry died. (i guess a few days ago but i just found out) rest in peace.
	10:08pm ultradamno: I heard a piece on Ball State's NPR on the way to the store this morning in which they inserted an audio clip from Naked Gun, it was jarringly stupid.
	🥁 10:09pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:06 I, too, am sad about Frogman. He was booked to play at Jazz Fest in NOLA in a few weeks -- yes, and he was 87 years old. I do love the music of Clarence "Frogman" Henry. It might cheer you up to watch this after Rich's show ends: youtu.be...
	10:09pm ultradamno: mastodon.social... mastodon.social... mastodon.social...
	🥁 10:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:09 (It's Madeline Kahn covering "Ain't Got No Home." It's brilliant. She was brilliant.)
	10:10pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:02 the thing that made the bronco"chase" surreal was the narcoleptic pacing with the extremely violent subtext lurking beneath it
	🥁 10:11pm Kat in the chat: I guess I will tell my story of the day of the verdict... I was on jury duty in Manhattan, in Chinatown, and I went to a Vietnamese restaurant on our lunch break. The restaurant had a small TV set up at the cashier station, which didn't appear to be a normal fixture there. I had just gotten my soup when the verdict was announced. Immediately all the black people in the restaurant (of which there were quite a few, many also on jury duty) burst into cheers. I just kind of looked down at my soup and thought despairingly about how wide the gulf between black and white still was in America. When I went back to the holding area, they had Court TV on. I wasn't picked for jury duty and went home. The end.
	10:11pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:10 haha, yes! i've actually posted a link to that video several times! Thank you!
	10:12pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:11 that experience comes across palpably
	🥁 10:13pm Kat in the chat: Is Court TV still a thing? I haven't had cable for years now.
	10:13pm ultradamno: Buddy Holly did it too. One of the greats, but he adds little to it.
	🥁 10:13pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Guts For Brains" by "Helms Alee" This reminds me of mid-90s music in a really good way. During the first few notes, before the vocals came in, I thought it was something from Tortoise I'd never heard.
	10:14pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:11 Thank you. ... we are within a very ill society.
	10:15pm pot8o: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:13 it limped on 'til the very late 2000s (some of my earliest memories was my mom religiously watching it) then they brought it back a few years ago
	10:16pm davefromtoronto: ↳ A➡B (A to tha B) @9:52 he was fired by Don Ohlmeyer. that's common knowledge. or were you being facetious?
	10:17pm Rich in Washington: I got invited to have a case I was involved in adjudicated on the Judge Mathis show but I declined. I am thinking of framing the letter because it's a weird memento of a very weird chapter n my life.
	🥁 10:20pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Working The Ditch" by "Melvins" I like how evil this music sounds. Sure, I like nice music. I also like evil music. I contain multitudes!
	🥁 10:22pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Marjorie Taylor Greene" by "The Rudy Schwartz Pro... ...speaking of evil...
	10:22pm ultradamno: mastodon.social...
	🥁 10:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: Okay, "Sucking off Jesus in a Georgia latrine" made me laugh out-loud.
	🥁 10:23pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Marjorie Taylor Greene" by "The Rudy Schwartz Pro... wow
	🥁 10:24pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:23 likewise :)
	10:24pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Marjorie Taylor Greene" by "The Rudy Schwartz Pro... the fact that rudy schwartz is so obscure is a travesty
	10:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Marjorie Taylor Greene" by "The Rudy Schwartz Pro... therapeutc
	10:24pm spodiodi: greetings, Rich! greetings, all
	🥁 10:25pm Kat in the chat: hey spodi! how you doing?
	🥁 10:25pm Wendy del Formaggio: Spodi!
	10:25pm Rich in Washington: ↳ spodiodi @10:24 yo, spodmaster!
	🥁 10:27pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Yarn Day In Bartlesville, Oklahoma" by "The Rudy ... ha, I literally just picked up my knitting
	10:28pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:27 HA!
	10:28pm spodiodi: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:25 aloha, Wendy!
	10:28pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Yarn Day In Bartlesville, Oklahoma" by "The Rudy ... this describes my hometown perfectly, and i live nowhere near oklahoma
	10:28pm the verdugo recluse: ↳ Song: "Yarn Day In Bartlesville, Oklahoma" by "The Rudy ... Best song ever
	10:29pm coelacanth∅: ↳ spodiodi @10:24 aloha spodiodi!
	10:31pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "A Visit To The Oblong Funnel" by "The Rudy Schwar... i like how this sounds like the beginning of a scott walker piece
	🥁 10:33pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:27 Whatcha knitting?
	10:33pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Stayin' Alive" by "Jonathan And Darlene Edwards" holy whiplash
	🥁 10:34pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Stayin' Alive" by "Jonathan And Darlene Edwards" Psychic DJ Connection!!! I was just thinking about J&D Edwards yesterday. Specifically their rendition of "Cocktails for Two."
	10:35pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Stayin' Alive" by "Jonathan And Darlene Edwards" this is horrible! - and much more tolerable than the original
	10:35pm Dean: The pinnacle of artistic expression, Jonathan & Darlene.
	🥁 10:36pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:33 sleeve 1 of a cardigan I've been working on off and on for about a year :/ there is a slender possibility that I will actually be able to wear this before summer
	10:37pm pot8o: very nicolas collins
	10:37pm Dean: My mom had their LPs, and now I have them.
	🥁 10:37pm Kat in the chat: Honor thy error as a hidden intention
	10:37pm Feldy: “The CD Player is Broken”
	10:37pm ultradamno: Pyrex do a great skuzzpunk version pyrexnyc.bandcamp.com...
	10:38pm A➡B (A to tha B): ↳ Song: "Stayin' Alive" by "Jonathan And Darlene Edwards" I assume Daryll W. Bullock has played this on his World's Worst Records show?
	🥁 10:40pm Wendy del Formaggio: I like Jonathan & Darlene Edwards way more than I like Jo Stafford and Paul Weston. The latter are kinda boring.
	10:41pm Feldy: Digging the show, Rich!
	🥁 10:41pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:36 You're way more ambitious than I am. I just knit scarves. Back and forth. Back and forth. Back and forth.
	🥁 10:42pm Wendy del Formaggio: Thanks for trying to play "Cocktails for Two" for me Rich. :-)
	🥁 10:42pm Wendy del Formaggio: I gotta go switch the laundry. Be back soon.
	10:44pm Dean: Try Jo doing Americana. She's a marvel.
	10:44pm coelacanth∅: my sister knits with big fat yarn and giant loops (no doubt there's a name for this) and because of these facts it doesn't take her that long to make really beautiful, very warm blankets
	🥁 10:44pm Kat in the chat: My employer started using an AI thing to transcribe meetings. We got a link to one transcription emailed to us - which for some reason bore a highly unflattering screen capture of my face - and when I tried to follow the link, it asked me to register with it and I decided I didn't need to see that transcription after all. I mentioned this in a subsequent meeting and other people implied that I was being overly cautious. Yesterday, we got another email. This one was from IT. Can you guess what that email said? 🤣
	10:47pm Rich in Washington: Mac people: do you ever have that thing where google search result pages have ALL BOLD text for no reason? It's super irritating.
	🥁 10:47pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:41 I knit lacy scarves, socks, and the occasional hat. I'm rarely happy with the hats, though, I'm not sure why. Last cardigan I made came out poorly and then moths got to it, so I'm trying to do better this time.
	🥁 10:48pm Kat in the chat: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:44 I don't think there's a name for it. I wish I liked big yarns more, I'd have nice warm blankets too. But I do have nice warm socks that have lasted for years.
	10:48pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:47 guilty of using a whackbook; but i don't use gobble.
	10:49pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Cleanliness And Order" by "Boyd Rice and Daniel M... lafms! love that label!
	10:49pm Rich in Washington: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:48 I tried using Duck Duck Go for several months but finally caved and came back to the Google hive.
	10:51pm Dean: I routinely use DDG, and on rare occasions Google. Just yesterday I ran a search on DDG that produced results superior to those by the student with whom I was meeting. The student was using Google.
	10:51pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:48 i love my blanket she made for me, although it's less than full-sized. but it's so warm that it's fine if my feet aren't covered. the one negative is storing it. it takes a lot of space!
	🥁 10:52pm Kat in the chat: I'm using Duck Duck Go on my newest laptop, which I bought for music library and possible future DJing, but the old one I'm on now is still Googlefied.
	🥁 10:53pm Kat in the chat: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:51 Yarn is squishy! You might be able to put it in a compression bag and then fluff it up when you take it out. Depends on the yarn I guess.
	10:54pm ultradamno: Also primarily using DDG...no one just using Tor on the dark side?
	10:54pm Dean: Also, it's one thing to use DDG as a search engine, another to use the add-on that blocks ads, identifies trackers, etc.
	10:55pm Cp304: Heya Rich! And peoples!
	10:56pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Cp304 @10:55 Hi Cp!
	🥁 10:56pm Kat in the chat: I have been trying out the DDG browser on the new laptop, but big drawback is that WFMU comments don't work on it despite me tweaking settings
	10:56pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:49 i don't get it! when i first tried it a few years ago it wasn't great; but i'd say it's as good as gooble, and the image search is much much better. the only thing i use gobble for, occasionally, is song lyrics - because that one will usually show the lyrics without having to visit any of the many questionable, pop-up ridden lyrics sites.
	10:57pm Dean: Well, yes, and then there's the new browser. Ain't innovation grand?
	10:57pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Dean @10:54 I don't exactly recall WHY I quit using DDG, maybe just because I got a very new computer and just never bothered to install it.
	10:58pm ultradamno: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:56 I usually use Firefox as a browser, but have the DDG one and just checked and I'm seeing comments (windows)
	10:59pm Dean: I use the DDG search engine out of principle. No installation required, though the add-on is another story, as is the browser. I do have to fight with the search engine now and then, but in the long run I believe (no more than belief) that we'll be better off if more of us avoid Google.
	🥁 10:59pm Kat in the chat: ↳ ultradamno @10:58 I saw them but couldn't make them myself! I'll try it again soon.
	11:00pm Cp304: If I had mannequin heads like this back in hair school, idda made some interesting bob cuts and long layers too
	11:00pm ultradamno: OK, I didn't sign in and try to post, so that may be.
	11:00pm Rich in Washington: I was usng FF for several years on my ancient Mac b/c it would no longer support Chrome (or vice versa). I think I just got tired of unpredictable results from DDG, so never bothered to install it on this new machine.
	🥁 11:00pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:47 Today I'm wearing my Techtonic t-shirt that reminds me, among other things, to Get. Off. Google. So, no. I always obey my shirts. I browse using Duck Duck Go.
	🥁 11:01pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Your Grievances" by ... There are many things I love about this song. Including how DJ pronounces "grievances." Much love eternally for Daniel Johnston.
	11:01pm coelacanth∅: i'm using duckduckgo via firefox. i'm not using the ddg browser. i don't trust firefox any more, but i'm hesitating on the duckduckgo browser.
	11:02pm ultradamno: I'm not in love with how it handles bookmarks...
	11:02pm Dean: I don't obey all my t-shirts. For instance, "I'm With Stupid."
	🥁 11:02pm WR: Yes, let the gree vee ants go.
	🥁 11:02pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ ultradamno @10:58 Oh right. My language is clunky. Firefox is the browser but DDG is the search engine. Am I saying this right? I don't fucking know anything.
	11:03pm Cp304: I like the FF, but homepage is startpage
	11:03pm ultradamno: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:02 Right, but there is a separate DDG browser
	11:03pm Dean: Firefox is a browser. DDG is a search engine, a browser, and an add-on for other browsers. You do know fucking anything.
	🥁 11:03pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Dean @11:02 Some of my shirts say terrible things. I obey them anyway. Might as well. What could possibly go wrong?
	11:04pm Dean: What could go wrong? How about "Fuck the Police"?
	🥁 11:04pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ ultradamno @11:03 Ah yes. I, too, have avoided switching even though Firefox causes me concern. Sometimes it's just all so damn confusing.
	11:04pm ultradamno: Right, I use the add on with firefox also
	11:04pm tom tom the pipers son: i find syd's delivery to be very brechtian...easy to imagine mack the knife
	🥁 11:05pm Kat in the chat: I'm trying to remember what my current in-rotation shirts say. "Trust Us, It's Music"... "Copyright Infringement Is Your Best Entertainment Value"...
	11:06pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Dean @11:04 and have little police babies?! No, thank you!
	🥁 11:06pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Dean @11:04 Now I have to go back and think about if I've ever fucked a cop. Not as far as I know, but maybe some of them now are on the force. Stranger things have happened.
	11:06pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "You Forgot To Answer" by "Nico" very beautiful
	11:07pm Dean: Somehow "Fuck Prospective Cops" doesn't have a ring to it...
	11:07pm ultradamno: The first girl I was ever with was a cop's daughter...I don't think she became one herself. I have been with a republican.
	11:07pm Cp304: Is it me? Or is this a bit bjorkesk
	🥁 11:07pm Wendy del Formaggio: Rich, this set is sublime.
	11:09pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "You Forgot To Answer" by "Nico" top-notch singer! probably one of the best of the era (tried convincing my parents to get me desertshore for my birthday since it's in a week, yet another artist to cross off the list)
	11:09pm coelacanth∅: i ALMOST fucked a PROSPECTIVE cop. but i wasn't woman enough for her
	11:09pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:07 Thank you, Wendy! That's a great compliment coming from you!
	11:09pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "You Forgot To Answer" by "Nico" this kinda straddles cabaret and avant garde
	🥁 11:09pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ ultradamno @11:07 My childhood across-the-street neighbor who I used to make out with all the time when I was but a wee teen ended up being a cop. He was a shitty kisser. Case closed. Okay, you might ask: Then why did you keep making out with him? Well, I was bored and I was training him to kiss better.
	11:10pm Dean: I bet lots of people have fucked undercover cops.
	11:10pm ultradamno: Some days just call for a project, I get it.
	🥁 11:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:09 Aww, Rich! <3 OMG, and now you're playing one of my fave Eno tracks. The hits just keep coming!
	11:10pm pot8o: is it just me, or is the left ear sometimes cutting out for a couple seconds? happened during doug's show too
	11:11pm Cp304: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:09 Lol Wendy.. now I'm thinking of that "I was bored" song
	11:11pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @11:07 Well, probably more than one republican....it's Indiana
	🥁 11:11pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Dean @11:10 You're probably right. Now I have some MORE thinking to do...
	🥁 11:11pm Aitch: In very late, hey Rich and crew
	11:11pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ pot8o @11:10 something did glitch at beginning of eno
	11:12pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @11:10 It's my mixer. My TT mixer will do that if I exceed a certain level.
	11:12pm Cp304: ↳ Aitch @11:11 HeyAitch
	11:12pm coelacanth∅: heyAitch
	11:12pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @11:11 Better Aitch than never! Good to see you!
	🥁 11:12pm Aitch: ↳ Dean @11:10 sometimes no sheets at all
	🥁 11:12pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ ultradamno @11:11 Haha! The horrible boyfriend I had when I was 18-20 started listening to Rush Limbaugh on the radio. I left him shortly after that.
	11:13pm still b/p: Just in time for Eno and cop-ulation talk.
	11:13pm tom tom the pipers son: i went out with an older woman who's father was a nazi, the apple didn't fall far from the tree and made quick exit
	11:14pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:12 phew! thought my headphones were on the fritz for a second
	11:14pm glamour goblet: If one had to choose just one vocal lyric oriented Brian Eno career album - which one would ya?
	🥁 11:15pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:12 That same boyfriend ended up in prison about 8 years ago for getting hopped up on meth and trying to steal guns from a state trooper's house. When I learned about that, I had the best bout of schadenfreude ever recorded in history.
	🥁 11:15pm Kat in the chat: I generally don't even talk to cops, much less fuck them, but I did have a surprisingly pleasant interaction with one of Philly's finest last Sunday. An older black gentleman and I were at a bus stop in Center City trying to figure out the incomprehensible detours that had been put in place to accommodate the Greek Independence Parade. We were heading in what we thought was the right direction and my companion spotted a cop car parked in the intersection and declared, "I'm gonna ask the law right there." The "law" was as confused as we were, but said there should be a transit supervisor coming by shortly. We three had a brief and enjoyable conversation about Philly and then the 48 finally showed up.
	11:15pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @11:14 It's your DJ that's on the fritz
	11:16pm coelacanth∅: i think i don't look like someone most republicans would be attracted to
	🥁 11:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:15 I work in a building with some hot young cops. Sometimes I contemplate trying to corrupt them. I mean, it's New England. I gotta get creative with my transgressions. hahahaha.
	🥁 11:16pm Aitch: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:15 My 3 elder brothers were cops, I try not to talk to them either
	🥁 11:17pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:16 Same. I consider that an achievement.
	11:17pm tom tom the pipers son: @ rich .....opel....?
	11:18pm pot8o: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:16 i'm gay, so they definitely wouldn't be attracted to me
	🥁 11:18pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:16 LOL! Wendy And The Hot Young Cops
	11:19pm Cp304: ↳ glamour goblet @11:14 Would have to be once in a lifetime for me
	11:19pm spodiodi: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:29 greetings, coelacanthØ an Kat! (sorry slow, was eating)
	🥁 11:20pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:18 I'll get them to be my protective detail, except they're only allowed to chase boring people away. They have to be really nice to Queers and weirdos and buy them cups of coffee.
	🥁 11:20pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:20 Good luck with that :)
	🥁 11:21pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:20 A girl can dream! hahaha Although I could also just get non-cops to do this, and have a clearer conscience.
	🥁 11:22pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ pot8o @11:18 Well, they might... but you might not want any of that.
	11:22pm Cp304: I'm wiggin out
	🥁 11:22pm Wendy del Formaggio: Shameless self-promotion: It was my birthday this week, too!
	11:23pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:22 Aw dang, happy birthday, Wendy!
	🥁 11:23pm Kat in the chat: That's right, happy birthday Wendy! Even if I said it already, happy birthday again
	11:24pm pot8o: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:22 they can have someone else carry their luggage for them
	11:25pm coelacanth∅: my friend who became a cop (and nearly a lover) ultimately got harassed off the clark,nj police force for being a gay woman. ...but then, this in a town that also succeeded in getting an "interracial" family that'd bought a house there to move out. (this was in the 70s; maybe it's all better now)
	🥁 11:26pm Kat in the chat: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:25 I would hope that it is better now!
	🥁 11:28pm Wendy del Formaggio: Thanks, Rich and Kat! My avatar is my cake from when I turned 29.
	11:28pm pot8o: happy birthday wendy!
	11:29pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Gimme Back My Wig" by "Hound Dog Taylor & The Hou... always love the "genuine houserockin' music". it always sounds like it was recorded live at a state fair or something
	🥁 11:29pm Wendy del Formaggio: Thanks, pot8o!
	🥁 11:29pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:25 Feh.
	11:29pm coelacanth∅: oh, how'd i miss that? HAPPY BIRTHDAY WENDY!
	11:29pm glamour goblet: Dag-Nab-It …I just had my wig fitted for the weekend. - i shoulda known this was a hazardous⚠️wig-zone!
	🥁 11:30pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:28 amazing, it looks like it's on the verge of collapse in the best possible way
	11:30pm Dean: I regret that cops have such a bad reputation, and some of my regret is out of sympathy for them. Many individual cops want to work to improve their communities. They are unlikely to be newsworthy. And in my personal experience, which is no measure of how cops are generally, they can be such insufferable dicks.
	🥁 11:31pm Wendy del Formaggio: Thanks, coela! I tend to extend my birthday to an entire season. It officially began this past Saturday and will last until at least early-May.
	11:32pm coelacanth∅: ↳ glamour goblet @11:29 you must be prepared to share your wig!
	🥁 11:32pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:31 it will overlap with mine then, it's the last Sunday in April this year.
	11:32pm A➡B (A to tha B): Happy Birthday, Wendy! (Couldn't catch your show this past Monday though, sorry to say. Was out on errands that day.)
	11:32pm Cp304: I don't always like blues, but when Rich plays it, I dues blues
	11:33pm pot8o: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:32 mine too! it's exactly one week from now
	11:33pm Dean: They're called birth-DAYs, but in fact they're birthDAYS.
	🥁 11:34pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:30 It was! It was when I was living in an old woolen mill in White River Junction, Vermont, with four men, all of whom were either current or previous boyfriends of each other. What a house that was! One of them waited too long to bake the cake and the party had already started. So, he attempted to ice it while it was still hot. The top layer almost slid onto the floor but he caught it just in time. It was one of the best birthday parties I'd ever had.
	11:34pm Alex from Media: Hey! My Bday is today (for another half hour). April babies ROOL!
	🥁 11:34pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Dean @11:33 nice
	🥁 11:34pm Kat in the chat: ↳ pot8o @11:33 ah you're on the cusp then
	🥁 11:35pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ A➡B (A to tha B) @11:32 Thanks, A to tha B! I missed my show this past Monday, too. I was on a big errand to see a total eclipse! If you tune in this Monday I'll tell you all about it.
	11:35pm coelacanth∅: Happy Birthday Alex!
	11:35pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Alex from Media @11:34 Happy Be Day, Alex!
	🥁 11:35pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:32 Happy early birthday!
	🥁 11:35pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Alex from Media @11:34 well happy birthday to you then! waves from Philly
	🥁 11:36pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ pot8o @11:33 Happy early birthday!
	11:36pm A➡B (A to tha B): ↳ Cp304 @11:32 Harry Parmenter over on the R'n'S Stream sometimes dedicates his Funhouse show to particularly well-known Rhythm & Blues performers.
	🥁 11:36pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:34 That explains everything!
	🥁 11:36pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Dean @11:33 @Dean: EXACTLY!
	🥁 11:36pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @11:34 YAY! Happy birthday, Alex!
	11:37pm pot8o: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:36 thanks wendy!
	🥁 11:37pm Kat in the chat: I took the Friday before off, so I have a three-day birthday weekend coming up, not sure what I'm gonna do with it though
	11:37pm Cp304: ↳ A➡B (A to tha B) @11:36 I sure do the kitchen sink boogie a lotta days.. during the werk week.. I should tune in
	🥁 11:38pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Preachin' The Blues" by "Gun Club" good one
	11:38pm Alex from Media: Happy Birthday Wendy! pot8o! Kat! all April babies.
	11:38pm pot8o: ↳ Alex from Media @11:38 thanks alex!
	11:39pm coelacanth∅: Happy birthdays Wendy, Alex, Kat and Pot80!
	🥁 11:39pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Dean @11:30 @Dean: My favorite cousin was NYPD, and he was one of the scant few good ones. I've known others who were truly service-oriented. But... I have such a hard time with the institution. Like many things, it's complicated, especially when I live in a small town and like to maintain good relationships with as many people as possible, including the police. So few things are binary. Except for 1s and 0s.
	11:40pm wallflower: Matt B , Gabriel Q , David F.F.? - hhhhmmm🤔 (who else?)
	🥁 11:40pm Kat in the chat: Thanks all! I know soooo many April babies, it's a popular month to get born in.
	11:40pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Preachin' The Blues" by "Gun Club" Liking Gun Club lately. Didnt know them in the pre-WFMU time.
	11:40pm Rich in Washington: I cannot find my copy of Fire Of Love. Goddamn it.
	🥁 11:40pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ wallflower @11:40 Hahaha, Mark Merrill, silly! And... I bet we know each other.
	🥁 11:40pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Alex from Media @11:40 I have mixed feelings about Gun Club, but this slaps
	11:41pm Cp304: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:40 Deep breath.. think ..
	11:41pm Dean: I agree, Wendy.
	11:41pm Alex from Media: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:39 Thanks Coelacanth∅! Been meaning to ask (in my Neutrals voice) Whats the ∅ for?
	11:42pm A➡B (A to tha B): ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:35 I managed to take some pictures of it through my mom's camera, despite the clouds that obscured the view. That's our usual luck here. Every time a chance to view an eclipse comes along, clouds gang up on us and spoil it all.
	11:42pm Dean: But you're wrong about binary. I know a 1 who identifies as an 0.
	🥁 11:42pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Dean @11:42 Oh, Dean! That made me snortle.
	11:42pm Dean: Then my work is done.
	🥁 11:43pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ A➡B (A to tha B) @11:42 I took no photos. I was too busy being totally stunned.
	🥁 11:45pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Electricity" by "Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band" Yes! \m/
	🥁 11:46pm Kat in the chat: We had clouds roll in right at the peak of what we were gonna get here (about 90%) but it was cool to watch up to that point. i took the day off and went over by the Art Museum and lay on a hill with my eclipse glasses on. I totally missed out on 2018 in Chicago due to clouds so I was determined to see something this time around.
	11:46pm coelacanth∅: we have a few good cops here. the whole local force is generally decent, which is the key. many people become cops with good intentions and a sense of fairness, but get intimidated within the force until they comply with the rampant hate, racism, sexism and general assholeness. - and then there's the state cops of new york and new jersey, who have the Love "trained" out of them (like the military) until they're basically robo-hate machines.
	11:46pm ultradamno: Solid line, near Steven Wright one-liner worthy
	11:48pm ironybread: gool ol' Cap
	11:48pm pot8o: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:39 thanks coel!
	11:49pm wallflower: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:40 Witch🧙‍♀️one made the last minute cake 🎂? (btw: it looks freakin’ deliciously decadent moist and fruity sweet!) dang, I wanna slice right now!
	11:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Electricity" by "Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band" that theremin is great
	11:49pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Alex from Media @11:41 it's kind of a story. and i clearly shy away from telling lengthy, boring stories on the comments boards!
	🥁 11:50pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:46 Oy gevalt, I know. My aforementioned fave cousin I think may have been indoctrinated into some far-right shit. The last time I talked to him he said some vague things that alarmed me. He's always had a tender heart, and has been a bit of a "seeker" all his life. I'm sad, but I'm not sure what to do about it.
	11:50pm A➡B (A to tha B): ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:43 The folks in the Great Lakes region (especially the ones along Lakes Erie and Ontario) were the lucky ones who got to see the corona. Buffalo was the one city that was directly in the path of totality. Folks in other major cities had to go out a little way to see an absolute eclipse.
	11:51pm Alex from Media: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:49 Well there's a reason. And that's comforting.
	🥁 11:51pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ wallflower @11:49 @Wallflower: Mark made it. When I lived there (early-2003), he was the sweetest to me of the four Millbillies. And the cake was wonderful to eat and look at! How do you know them? Destiny?
	🥁 11:52pm Wendy del Formaggio: YAY RICH! <3 <3 <3
	11:52pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:50 whatever can be done, it must be done very gently
	🥁 11:52pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:50 "seekers" are vulnerable, so many end up in cults
	11:52pm Alex from Media: Thanks for the rockin show Rich (what I caught of it)! And thanks for the Bday wishes Rich and Kat (who I missed thanking earlier).
	🥁 11:53pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:52 Exactly. With all the love and compassion I possess. I adore my cousin.
	11:53pm Rich in Washington: "there's a seeker born every minute" Happy Harry Cox
	11:54pm Cp304: @ Rich . Filling the whole as always.. love ya bruh, and peoples.. thanks for empathy fatigue therapy.. love yas
	11:54pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks rich.... nice chatting
	🥁 11:54pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ wallflower @11:49 @Wallflower: It was David who introduced me to this particular version of "Cocktails for Two." I learned about a lot of great music from DFF.
	11:54pm A➡B (A to tha B): ↳ Alex from Media @11:52 Happy B-day to you too, Alex (before I forget)!
	11:54pm spodiodi: thanks, Rich!
	11:54pm ironybread: Well seekers...I guess this is the end...or is it only the -
	11:54pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Alex from Media @11:51 heh, well it started with a troll accusing me of stealing his/her handle!
	11:55pm Alex from Media: ↳ A➡B (A to tha B) @11:54 Thanks A➡B
	11:55pm A➡B (A to tha B): Thanks Rich! Thanks Wendy!
	11:56pm pot8o: thanks rich! have a great week everyone!
	11:56pm Alex from Media: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:54 Well known public domain word.
	🥁 11:56pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Walk Like An Egyptian" by "The Del Rubio Triplets" Way better than the original, in my opinion.
	11:56pm Dean: I'm going to duck after saying this, because I don't want to get into trouble, but I do think we need to be more open to so-called far-right folks. They are not all nut cases. People of all ideologies will say alarming things, and yet they can strike us as "tender" hearted, too.
	11:56pm Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:56 Just cause you like cheesy music.
	11:57pm wallflower: Yea, he’s a work of piece … one of a kid in a deck-o jokers. (don’t forget I’m playing wallflower). re cake: was that raspberry inside ? Flavors ?
	🥁 11:57pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @11:56 Perhaps...
	11:58pm Dean: btw, I'm making macaroni & fromage right now.
	11:58pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Alex from Media @11:56 well, and not true. it's been me since ~2011. i never saw another except when this person surfaced
	🥁 11:58pm Kat in the chat: After this show I'm going to be dreaming of cops dancing in donut shops
	11:58pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @11:56 are they capable of engaging in conversation really
	11:59pm Feldy: This show is providing a. Ice soundtrack to working on my Pinewood Derby car for tomorrow’s race
	11:59pm Gilded Goblet: ↳ Dean @11:56 - Worth Relating
	11:59pm pot8o: ↳ Dean @11:56 my two cents, but as someone who's lgbt+, i'd rather not be "open" to people who actively call for the murder of people like me since i don't want to cause a massive shitstorm like the show a couple weeks back, i'll end it here
	11:59pm Dean: Yes, tttps. Many are, and frankly, many on "our" side are not. Them's the breaks.
	11:59pm Feldy: *nice
	11:59pm Cp304: ↳ Dean @11:58 You go dean, I'm going with liquid tonight, double check your burners before you lay sideways
	11:59pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Dean @11:56 It's a super challenge though. I think the reichwing media that they're getting frop'd on has got them in a super agitated state. I'm in a very red section of a fairly blue state and I think some of this people are a few micrograms of seratonin away from shooting people.
	🥁 11:59pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ wallflower @11:57 That cake was made 21 years ago, so I have to plumb the depths of my memory... It was def chocolate cake... and I think cherry filling. Ah yes, you are playing wallflower, I see that. :-) Anyway, not sure if we know each other, but it sure was a trip having you guess the name of my former housemates! My world is so tiny and weird and wonderful.
	11:59pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Space Oddity" by "Langley Schools Music Project" This is popping up on multiple streams today.
	11:59pm Ike: Mmmm, tender hearts. Yummy.
	12:00am Rich in Washington: ↳ Alex from Media @11:59 Really? That's cool! I wonder why. I'm mainly playing it because I just found this album after losing it during my move last year.
	🥁 12:01am Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ pot8o @11:59 <3 Hugs and love to you, pot8o.
	🥁 12:02am Wendy del Formaggio: Rich, another fan-fucking-tastic show. This is definitely "appointment" radio.
	🥁 12:02am Kat in the chat: oh good, my stereo works
	12:02am Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Space Oddity" by "Langley Schools Music Project" Pan-der to me!
	12:02am coelacanth∅: ↳ Kat in the chat @12:02 testing testing... YAY!
	🥁 12:03am Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @12:02 Haha, I see what you did there.
	12:03am coelacanth∅: Thank you Rich for spinning the discs and pushing the bits!
	12:03am Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @12:03 You taught me well Sensei Wendy!
	12:04am Feldy: Thanks Rich!
	12:04am Rich in Washington: Thanks everyone! Happy birthday, everyone!
	🥁 12:04am Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @12:03 <3
	🥁 12:04am Kat in the chat: Thank you, Rich!
	12:04am Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @12:02 Aw....
	🥁 12:04am Wendy del Formaggio: Yay Rich! Yay birthdays!
	12:04am Rich in Washington: Gotta go! I left my cake out in the rain, etc.!
	12:04am coelacanth∅: finally i can go brush my teeth
	🥁 12:05am WR: thank you, Rich!

The Radio Is Broken with Rich In Washington: Playlist from April 12, 2024

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

	9:04pm Rich in Washington: Hi ironybread! Hi Kat! Hi tom tom! Hi Oats! Hi everyne!
	🥁 9:05pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Bluebird" by "Harry Dean Stanton" This has been such a Plate of Shrimp week. Repo Man is appearing EVERYWHERE, and now here's HDS. Yay!
	9:05pm pot8o: hi everyone!
	9:05pm ultradamno: I remember my dad telling me he wouldn't vote for Trump because he thought he was a socialist, I bit my tongue and repeated "he's not voting for him, take the win" in my head)
	🥁 9:05pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:04 Even better! I wish I had that disc.
	🥁 9:06pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey pot8o!
	9:06pm Rich in Washington: pot8o!
	9:06pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Captain Of Her Heart" by "Double" just proves the universal rule: all 45s sound better played at 33 1/3
	9:06pm tom tom the pipers son: re: image at top... londonartstudies.com...
	9:06pm Oats: ↳ Song: "Captain Of Her Heart" by "Double" Sounds like the Nestle Alpine White commercial at this speed. Getting hungry.
	🥁 9:07pm Kat in the chat: ↳ pot8o @9:05 I just noticed earlier that someone near me's wifi network is "potato". if I knew who it was I'd tell them to correct their spelling
	🥁 9:07pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:07 Hahaha!
	9:07pm Rich in Washington: No offense to anyone else here but I think pot8o has the cutest username.
	9:07pm Oats: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:07 I call my computers, PEANUT and POTATO and PISTACHIO
	9:08pm ultradamno: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:07 Sometimes i just see 'headset' and wish I had the skills to hack the station feed into it...
	🥁 9:08pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:07 Hear hear!
	🥁 9:08pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Oats @9:07 Never thought of naming my laptops!
	9:08pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:07 thank you! i'm honored
	🥁 9:09pm Kat in the chat: ↳ ultradamno @9:08 that would be fun
	🥁 9:09pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Captain Of Her Heart" by "Double" Was this a hit? It's only vaguely familiar.
	🥁 9:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:08 I haven't named my laptops anything special, but my iPhone is named "Hail Satan" because when I connect it to my bluetooth speaker, it says, "Now connected to 'Hail Satan.'" And that makes me smile every time.
	🥁 9:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:09 It was a big hit on the "adult contemporary" stations in the mid-80s.
	🥁 9:11pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:10 That's cool! My bluetooth speakers just make boopy electronic noises.
	9:11pm pot8o: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:09 it hit #16 on the hot 100 here, but it was a huge hit across the pond
	9:12pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:10 For some reason I thought it was a much earlier song than it was.
	🥁 9:12pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ pot8o @9:11 I consider it latter-day Yacht Rock.
	🥁 9:14pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Morning In The Sub-Basement Of Hell" by "Steven J... I bet this guy is, or was, fun at parties.
	🥁 9:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:12 Right?! Probably because of the Yacht Rock thing. It really does sound like 1981 docked in a Southern California marina with cocaine lined up on the highly polished table.
	9:14pm pot8o: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:12 i always thought this was a randy crawford cover, but it's the other way around, this was first & then she covered it
	🥁 9:15pm Wendy del Formaggio: I believe I hear the Minutemen. I do, I do!
	🥁 9:15pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "#1 Hit Song" by "Minutemen" haha, I have that Rockford photo, too!
	9:15pm A➡B (A to tha B): HI Rich & Radio Wreckers! There's a copy of the Double LP somewhere in the only crate of vinyl we have here in the basement. I first heard "Captain Of Her Heart" on a radio program (that I'm sure you might be familiar with, by way of Wesley Willis) called Rock Over London when it became a Top 5 hit in the UK.
	🥁 9:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ pot8o @9:14 I don't know Randy Crawford. Do tell!
	9:16pm Rich in Washington: Hi A-B!
	🥁 9:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey A to tha B!
	🥁 9:17pm Kat in the chat: ↳ A➡B (A to tha B) @9:15 Rock Over London aired on WXRT in Chicago, don't think i heard Double on there though
	9:17pm pot8o: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:16 soul/r&b singer, really really popular in the uk but never charted solo here
	9:18pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "#1 Hit Song" by "Minutemen" Tape of the one time I got to see them, on their last tour archive.org...
	9:18pm tom tom the pipers son: wonder is langley is still operating and if they covered W.A.P.
	9:18pm Rich in Washington: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:18 LOL
	9:19pm coelacanth∅: greetings Rich and others
	9:19pm Rich in Washington: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:19 yo, coel!
	9:19pm A➡B (A to tha B): ↳ Kat in the chat @9:17 Well, that's where I first heard it. This was back in '85. Maybe WXRT wasn't yet part of the ROL network at the time.
	9:20pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ ultradamno @9:18 do you know of the city gardens minuteman show in the fmu archive somewhere...recommended
	🥁 9:20pm Kat in the chat: ↳ A➡B (A to tha B) @9:19 No it was, I just didn't listen every week.
	9:20pm pot8o: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:18 some of the songs that they covered already are definitely songs elementary schoolers shouldn't be singing
	9:22pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ pot8o @9:20 yes but what's in the mainstream today is very different...you mean like 'desperado'
	9:22pm ultradamno: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:20 Yep, that was great, basically the same set equivalent quality (the Hoosier Ballroom set plays straight through and may be a little longer) wfmu.org...
	9:23pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ pot8o @9:20 the didn't do 'pull up to my bumper'
	9:23pm A➡B (A to tha B): ↳ Kat in the chat @9:20 As I wrote above, it was a UK Top 5 hit before it got to the US. You had to wait until the last quarter of the show for the UK Top 5 countdown.
	9:24pm pot8o: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:22 moreso "you're sixteen" by johnny burnette
	9:24pm davefromtoronto: damn i missed the bukowski part of the show!
	9:25pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ ultradamno @9:22 thanks for the link. joe carducci from sst was on john allen this morning ...only caught a bit of it..
	9:25pm davefromtoronto: AND "captain of her heart!"
	9:25pm ironybread: you want horrifying? try me organizing things in my dreams :)
	9:26pm Rich in Washington: ↳ davefromtoronto @9:24 there could be more Bukowski. You never know.
	9:26pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ironybread @9:25 I am singularly talented in losing records and CDs.
	🥁 9:26pm Kat in the chat: The O.J. thing was a big part of my mid-90s sojourn in Manhattan, in multiple ways. I hardly ever think about it now so it was weird to see that he died.
	9:28pm ironybread: do you have either of Harry Shearer's OJ CDs? was thinking about them this week...
	9:28pm ultradamno: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:25 Oh, that's cool. Carducci guest dj'ing a special Sleepers and Sleepers adjacent show: wfmu.org...
	9:29pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ironybread @9:28 No! I only have on Shearer CD, the Was It Something I Said one.
	9:29pm davefromtoronto: the OJ joke norm did on the ESPYS was SAVAGE!
	9:29pm A➡B (A to tha B): Was anybody else besides me listening via a media player having any hangups with the stream? (It's coming in good now.)
	9:30pm davefromtoronto: that Bassholes album cover is so good!
	9:30pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ pot8o @9:24 ha! funny how things slipped through back then, people had blinders on, and the kids had no idea of the implications of what they were singing so they were immune
	9:31pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ ultradamno @9:28 oh...
	9:31pm ironybread: Here's Harry's "John Tesh and Kato's Peter and the Wolf" drive.google.com...
	9:32pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Juiced" by "O.J. Simpson" pyxis.nymag.com... Context: www.vulture.com...
	9:32pm davefromtoronto: anything re OJ is fair game.
	9:33pm ironybread: Wow, this is one for the evidence locker ;)
	9:35pm ultradamno: ↳ davefromtoronto @9:32 In that spirit www.theonion.com...
	9:36pm tom tom the pipers son: actually had a theory that the embedded image of the white bronco chase in our collective unconscious is perpetuating the recent violent car stops involving black men
	9:37pm davefromtoronto: ↳ ultradamno @9:35 nice. norm would've appreciated that.
	9:37pm the verdugo recluse: show is kicking ass. appreciate.
	9:38pm Rich in Washington: ↳ the verdugo recluse @9:37 Thanks! Thanks also to ironybread for this segment!
	9:39pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:36 police car stops.... oops
	9:40pm A➡B (A to tha B): Came as a shock that they reported the cause of death as cancer. So typical of celebs to keep critical health issues out of public knowledge until things make a turn for the worse. How much do you think O.J. football cards are going to be worth now that he's gone?
	9:40pm Feldy: Hey Rich!
	9:40pm Rich in Washington: I remember watching the bronco chase live while visiting my parents. It was surreal.
	9:41pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Feldy @9:40 Feldy! Howdy!
	9:41pm ultradamno: ...also though, phones with cameras really helped make what was already happening all the time seem like it was accelerating
	9:45pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "O.J. And His Personal Trainer Kill Ron And Nicole... I'll bet Don-O played this tonight
	9:45pm Feldy: LOL Norm. Greatest troller of all time
	🥁 9:46pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:45 Actually, no. I've never heard it before myself.
	🥁 9:46pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "O.J. And His Personal Trainer Kill Ron And Nicole... Ouch, yeah, this is pretty rough.
	9:46pm A➡B (A to tha B): ↳ Rich in Washington @9:40 I caught the live coverage too as they were making their way down Ventura Highway. Then when the LAPD had him holed up at home, one of Howard Stern's wacko fans decided to take advantage of the occasion and make a prank phone call to ABC News, only to get ratted out by the network's sports commentator Al Michaels.
	9:46pm Rich in Washington: I love how Norm just kept doing it with the knowledge that it was pissing off an NBC executive.
	🥁 9:47pm Kat in the chat: It is, and I'm a massive Negativland fan.
	🥁 9:48pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:47 (agreeing with Wendy)
	9:48pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:46 I stopped it. it's rather dumb and tasteless.
	9:49pm Rich in Washington: I think they just really needed an extra track for that EP but probably should've left it off.
	🥁 9:50pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:48 Thanks, Rich. I think there are great ways to make art that comments on the OJ thing -- and any gender-based violence -- but I think Negativland missed the mark with that one.
	9:50pm tom tom the pipers son: rosa lopez...? that reference is lost to time
	9:50pm pot8o: bill frisell! been listening to his "meditations on mingus" album recently, it's really good, bill frisell is top-notch when he's trying to be super unnerving
	9:51pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:48 Reminded me of The Sonics' The Village Idiot that appears as an extra on some CDs...that could have easily been left to oblivion
	9:51pm pot8o: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:50 she was a witness in the trial, she was oj's next door neighbor's maid who claimed she saw his bronco at the house during the murders
	9:52pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ pot8o @9:51 oh... did you just look that up...?
	9:52pm pot8o: (but take my word with a grain of salt, i just googled it for 5 seconds because i was -11 years old when this happened)
	9:52pm A➡B (A to tha B): ↳ Rich in Washington @9:46 That would explain why Norm was at odds with Lorne and the others in the production staff when he voluntarily left the show.
	9:53pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @9:51 (not that track, specifically, just you saying that)
	9:53pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:50 Yep. I can see making fun of the media reaction, the celebrity exceptionalism but nothing about the murders was funny and that he really got away with it and died without really suffering any consequences is kind of infuriating.
	9:53pm pot8o: ↳ pot8o @9:52 (-10, it was '95, not '94)
	🥁 9:54pm Wendy del Formaggio: I honestly just had to look up which year the whole OJ thing happened, because I was barely aware of it then. It was 1995. I was still in college, and living off-campus without cable tv, and internet had yet to come to Brattleboro... or much else, for that matter. Except drugs. There were plenty of those, which may also explain why I wasn't paying attention to national news.
	9:56pm A➡B (A to tha B): ↳ Rich in Washington @9:53 He died of cancer, so he got fitting retribution.
	🥁 9:56pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:53 Everything you said, Rich. Yup. Also, the white supremacy angle needs to be considered for comedic treatment. How do we talk about a Black man killing his white ex-wife without, well... ya know... falling prey to tropes. This is where really good comedy can help. Or completely hit wrong.
	🥁 9:56pm Kat in the chat: I don't really feel like talking about my memories of it, not because they aren't interesting -- they are -- but I don't feel like thinking about the person who was part of most of them (an ex)
	9:56pm Rich in Washington: ↳ A➡B (A to tha B) @9:56 Prostate cancer at that. Yow!
	9:57pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:53 maybe instructional about the creative process in some way. maybe anger is sometimes the wrong energy
	🥁 9:57pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:56 Hmm. That's some cold justice right there.
	🥁 9:58pm Kat in the chat: It was wild to hear those Norm jokes again
	🥁 9:59pm Kat in the chat: Wendy has made on-air snacking a part of her show :)
	9:59pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:58 yes couldn't help but think what he'd have done with gaza
	9:59pm A➡B (A to tha B): ↳ Rich in Washington @9:56 Something I thankfully had the forethougt to get checked for in time. I'm not the spring chicken I used to be back in the day.
	🥁 10:01pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:59 It's true! I love eating food on the air! I also love encouraging everyone else to have a little nosh.
	10:02pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:59 thinking of it is really beyond the realm of the possible
	10:02pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:53 i remember someone showing me the police escort ("chase") on tv and i was confused. "so, where are they escorting him to? ... "what 'chase'? he's going like 40mph" - and knew then that he'd essentially get away with murder. rip, oj. (rot in piss)
	10:06pm coelacanth∅: on actually sad news: Clarence "frogman" Henry died. (i guess a few days ago but i just found out) rest in peace.
	10:08pm ultradamno: I heard a piece on Ball State's NPR on the way to the store this morning in which they inserted an audio clip from Naked Gun, it was jarringly stupid.
	🥁 10:09pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:06 I, too, am sad about Frogman. He was booked to play at Jazz Fest in NOLA in a few weeks -- yes, and he was 87 years old. I do love the music of Clarence "Frogman" Henry. It might cheer you up to watch this after Rich's show ends: youtu.be...
	10:09pm ultradamno: mastodon.social... mastodon.social... mastodon.social...
	🥁 10:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:09 (It's Madeline Kahn covering "Ain't Got No Home." It's brilliant. She was brilliant.)
	10:10pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:02 the thing that made the bronco"chase" surreal was the narcoleptic pacing with the extremely violent subtext lurking beneath it
	🥁 10:11pm Kat in the chat: I guess I will tell my story of the day of the verdict... I was on jury duty in Manhattan, in Chinatown, and I went to a Vietnamese restaurant on our lunch break. The restaurant had a small TV set up at the cashier station, which didn't appear to be a normal fixture there. I had just gotten my soup when the verdict was announced. Immediately all the black people in the restaurant (of which there were quite a few, many also on jury duty) burst into cheers. I just kind of looked down at my soup and thought despairingly about how wide the gulf between black and white still was in America. When I went back to the holding area, they had Court TV on. I wasn't picked for jury duty and went home. The end.
	10:11pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:10 haha, yes! i've actually posted a link to that video several times! Thank you!
	10:12pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:11 that experience comes across palpably
	🥁 10:13pm Kat in the chat: Is Court TV still a thing? I haven't had cable for years now.
	10:13pm ultradamno: Buddy Holly did it too. One of the greats, but he adds little to it.
	🥁 10:13pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Guts For Brains" by "Helms Alee" This reminds me of mid-90s music in a really good way. During the first few notes, before the vocals came in, I thought it was something from Tortoise I'd never heard.
	10:14pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:11 Thank you. ... we are within a very ill society.
	10:15pm pot8o: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:13 it limped on 'til the very late 2000s (some of my earliest memories was my mom religiously watching it) then they brought it back a few years ago
	10:16pm davefromtoronto: ↳ A➡B (A to tha B) @9:52 he was fired by Don Ohlmeyer. that's common knowledge. or were you being facetious?
	10:17pm Rich in Washington: I got invited to have a case I was involved in adjudicated on the Judge Mathis show but I declined. I am thinking of framing the letter because it's a weird memento of a very weird chapter n my life.
	🥁 10:20pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Working The Ditch" by "Melvins" I like how evil this music sounds. Sure, I like nice music. I also like evil music. I contain multitudes!
	🥁 10:22pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Marjorie Taylor Greene" by "The Rudy Schwartz Pro... ...speaking of evil...
	10:22pm ultradamno: mastodon.social...
	🥁 10:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: Okay, "Sucking off Jesus in a Georgia latrine" made me laugh out-loud.
	🥁 10:23pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Marjorie Taylor Greene" by "The Rudy Schwartz Pro... wow
	🥁 10:24pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:23 likewise :)
	10:24pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Marjorie Taylor Greene" by "The Rudy Schwartz Pro... the fact that rudy schwartz is so obscure is a travesty
	10:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Marjorie Taylor Greene" by "The Rudy Schwartz Pro... therapeutc
	10:24pm spodiodi: greetings, Rich! greetings, all
	🥁 10:25pm Kat in the chat: hey spodi! how you doing?
	🥁 10:25pm Wendy del Formaggio: Spodi!
	10:25pm Rich in Washington: ↳ spodiodi @10:24 yo, spodmaster!
	🥁 10:27pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Yarn Day In Bartlesville, Oklahoma" by "The Rudy ... ha, I literally just picked up my knitting
	10:28pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:27 HA!
	10:28pm spodiodi: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:25 aloha, Wendy!
	10:28pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Yarn Day In Bartlesville, Oklahoma" by "The Rudy ... this describes my hometown perfectly, and i live nowhere near oklahoma
	10:28pm the verdugo recluse: ↳ Song: "Yarn Day In Bartlesville, Oklahoma" by "The Rudy ... Best song ever
	10:29pm coelacanth∅: ↳ spodiodi @10:24 aloha spodiodi!
	10:31pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "A Visit To The Oblong Funnel" by "The Rudy Schwar... i like how this sounds like the beginning of a scott walker piece
	🥁 10:33pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:27 Whatcha knitting?
	10:33pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Stayin' Alive" by "Jonathan And Darlene Edwards" holy whiplash
	🥁 10:34pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Stayin' Alive" by "Jonathan And Darlene Edwards" Psychic DJ Connection!!! I was just thinking about J&D Edwards yesterday. Specifically their rendition of "Cocktails for Two."
	10:35pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Stayin' Alive" by "Jonathan And Darlene Edwards" this is horrible! - and much more tolerable than the original
	10:35pm Dean: The pinnacle of artistic expression, Jonathan & Darlene.
	🥁 10:36pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:33 sleeve 1 of a cardigan I've been working on off and on for about a year :/ there is a slender possibility that I will actually be able to wear this before summer
	10:37pm pot8o: very nicolas collins
	10:37pm Dean: My mom had their LPs, and now I have them.
	🥁 10:37pm Kat in the chat: Honor thy error as a hidden intention
	10:37pm Feldy: “The CD Player is Broken”
	10:37pm ultradamno: Pyrex do a great skuzzpunk version pyrexnyc.bandcamp.com...
	10:38pm A➡B (A to tha B): ↳ Song: "Stayin' Alive" by "Jonathan And Darlene Edwards" I assume Daryll W. Bullock has played this on his World's Worst Records show?
	🥁 10:40pm Wendy del Formaggio: I like Jonathan & Darlene Edwards way more than I like Jo Stafford and Paul Weston. The latter are kinda boring.
	10:41pm Feldy: Digging the show, Rich!
	🥁 10:41pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:36 You're way more ambitious than I am. I just knit scarves. Back and forth. Back and forth. Back and forth.
	🥁 10:42pm Wendy del Formaggio: Thanks for trying to play "Cocktails for Two" for me Rich. :-)
	🥁 10:42pm Wendy del Formaggio: I gotta go switch the laundry. Be back soon.
	10:44pm Dean: Try Jo doing Americana. She's a marvel.
	10:44pm coelacanth∅: my sister knits with big fat yarn and giant loops (no doubt there's a name for this) and because of these facts it doesn't take her that long to make really beautiful, very warm blankets
	🥁 10:44pm Kat in the chat: My employer started using an AI thing to transcribe meetings. We got a link to one transcription emailed to us - which for some reason bore a highly unflattering screen capture of my face - and when I tried to follow the link, it asked me to register with it and I decided I didn't need to see that transcription after all. I mentioned this in a subsequent meeting and other people implied that I was being overly cautious. Yesterday, we got another email. This one was from IT. Can you guess what that email said? 🤣
	10:47pm Rich in Washington: Mac people: do you ever have that thing where google search result pages have ALL BOLD text for no reason? It's super irritating.
	🥁 10:47pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:41 I knit lacy scarves, socks, and the occasional hat. I'm rarely happy with the hats, though, I'm not sure why. Last cardigan I made came out poorly and then moths got to it, so I'm trying to do better this time.
	🥁 10:48pm Kat in the chat: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:44 I don't think there's a name for it. I wish I liked big yarns more, I'd have nice warm blankets too. But I do have nice warm socks that have lasted for years.
	10:48pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:47 guilty of using a whackbook; but i don't use gobble.
	10:49pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Cleanliness And Order" by "Boyd Rice and Daniel M... lafms! love that label!
	10:49pm Rich in Washington: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:48 I tried using Duck Duck Go for several months but finally caved and came back to the Google hive.
	10:51pm Dean: I routinely use DDG, and on rare occasions Google. Just yesterday I ran a search on DDG that produced results superior to those by the student with whom I was meeting. The student was using Google.
	10:51pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:48 i love my blanket she made for me, although it's less than full-sized. but it's so warm that it's fine if my feet aren't covered. the one negative is storing it. it takes a lot of space!
	🥁 10:52pm Kat in the chat: I'm using Duck Duck Go on my newest laptop, which I bought for music library and possible future DJing, but the old one I'm on now is still Googlefied.
	🥁 10:53pm Kat in the chat: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:51 Yarn is squishy! You might be able to put it in a compression bag and then fluff it up when you take it out. Depends on the yarn I guess.
	10:54pm ultradamno: Also primarily using DDG...no one just using Tor on the dark side?
	10:54pm Dean: Also, it's one thing to use DDG as a search engine, another to use the add-on that blocks ads, identifies trackers, etc.
	10:55pm Cp304: Heya Rich! And peoples!
	10:56pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Cp304 @10:55 Hi Cp!
	🥁 10:56pm Kat in the chat: I have been trying out the DDG browser on the new laptop, but big drawback is that WFMU comments don't work on it despite me tweaking settings
	10:56pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:49 i don't get it! when i first tried it a few years ago it wasn't great; but i'd say it's as good as gooble, and the image search is much much better. the only thing i use gobble for, occasionally, is song lyrics - because that one will usually show the lyrics without having to visit any of the many questionable, pop-up ridden lyrics sites.
	10:57pm Dean: Well, yes, and then there's the new browser. Ain't innovation grand?
	10:57pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Dean @10:54 I don't exactly recall WHY I quit using DDG, maybe just because I got a very new computer and just never bothered to install it.
	10:58pm ultradamno: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:56 I usually use Firefox as a browser, but have the DDG one and just checked and I'm seeing comments (windows)
	10:59pm Dean: I use the DDG search engine out of principle. No installation required, though the add-on is another story, as is the browser. I do have to fight with the search engine now and then, but in the long run I believe (no more than belief) that we'll be better off if more of us avoid Google.
	🥁 10:59pm Kat in the chat: ↳ ultradamno @10:58 I saw them but couldn't make them myself! I'll try it again soon.
	11:00pm Cp304: If I had mannequin heads like this back in hair school, idda made some interesting bob cuts and long layers too
	11:00pm ultradamno: OK, I didn't sign in and try to post, so that may be.
	11:00pm Rich in Washington: I was usng FF for several years on my ancient Mac b/c it would no longer support Chrome (or vice versa). I think I just got tired of unpredictable results from DDG, so never bothered to install it on this new machine.
	🥁 11:00pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:47 Today I'm wearing my Techtonic t-shirt that reminds me, among other things, to Get. Off. Google. So, no. I always obey my shirts. I browse using Duck Duck Go.
	🥁 11:01pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Your Grievances" by ... There are many things I love about this song. Including how DJ pronounces "grievances." Much love eternally for Daniel Johnston.
	11:01pm coelacanth∅: i'm using duckduckgo via firefox. i'm not using the ddg browser. i don't trust firefox any more, but i'm hesitating on the duckduckgo browser.
	11:02pm ultradamno: I'm not in love with how it handles bookmarks...
	11:02pm Dean: I don't obey all my t-shirts. For instance, "I'm With Stupid."
	🥁 11:02pm WR: Yes, let the gree vee ants go.
	🥁 11:02pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ ultradamno @10:58 Oh right. My language is clunky. Firefox is the browser but DDG is the search engine. Am I saying this right? I don't fucking know anything.
	11:03pm Cp304: I like the FF, but homepage is startpage
	11:03pm ultradamno: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:02 Right, but there is a separate DDG browser
	11:03pm Dean: Firefox is a browser. DDG is a search engine, a browser, and an add-on for other browsers. You do know fucking anything.
	🥁 11:03pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Dean @11:02 Some of my shirts say terrible things. I obey them anyway. Might as well. What could possibly go wrong?
	11:04pm Dean: What could go wrong? How about "Fuck the Police"?
	🥁 11:04pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ ultradamno @11:03 Ah yes. I, too, have avoided switching even though Firefox causes me concern. Sometimes it's just all so damn confusing.
	11:04pm ultradamno: Right, I use the add on with firefox also
	11:04pm tom tom the pipers son: i find syd's delivery to be very brechtian...easy to imagine mack the knife
	🥁 11:05pm Kat in the chat: I'm trying to remember what my current in-rotation shirts say. "Trust Us, It's Music"... "Copyright Infringement Is Your Best Entertainment Value"...
	11:06pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Dean @11:04 and have little police babies?! No, thank you!
	🥁 11:06pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Dean @11:04 Now I have to go back and think about if I've ever fucked a cop. Not as far as I know, but maybe some of them now are on the force. Stranger things have happened.
	11:06pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "You Forgot To Answer" by "Nico" very beautiful
	11:07pm Dean: Somehow "Fuck Prospective Cops" doesn't have a ring to it...
	11:07pm ultradamno: The first girl I was ever with was a cop's daughter...I don't think she became one herself. I have been with a republican.
	11:07pm Cp304: Is it me? Or is this a bit bjorkesk
	🥁 11:07pm Wendy del Formaggio: Rich, this set is sublime.
	11:09pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "You Forgot To Answer" by "Nico" top-notch singer! probably one of the best of the era (tried convincing my parents to get me desertshore for my birthday since it's in a week, yet another artist to cross off the list)
	11:09pm coelacanth∅: i ALMOST fucked a PROSPECTIVE cop. but i wasn't woman enough for her
	11:09pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:07 Thank you, Wendy! That's a great compliment coming from you!
	11:09pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "You Forgot To Answer" by "Nico" this kinda straddles cabaret and avant garde
	🥁 11:09pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ ultradamno @11:07 My childhood across-the-street neighbor who I used to make out with all the time when I was but a wee teen ended up being a cop. He was a shitty kisser. Case closed. Okay, you might ask: Then why did you keep making out with him? Well, I was bored and I was training him to kiss better.
	11:10pm Dean: I bet lots of people have fucked undercover cops.
	11:10pm ultradamno: Some days just call for a project, I get it.
	🥁 11:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:09 Aww, Rich! <3 OMG, and now you're playing one of my fave Eno tracks. The hits just keep coming!
	11:10pm pot8o: is it just me, or is the left ear sometimes cutting out for a couple seconds? happened during doug's show too
	11:11pm Cp304: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:09 Lol Wendy.. now I'm thinking of that "I was bored" song
	11:11pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @11:07 Well, probably more than one republican....it's Indiana
	🥁 11:11pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Dean @11:10 You're probably right. Now I have some MORE thinking to do...
	🥁 11:11pm Aitch: In very late, hey Rich and crew
	11:11pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ pot8o @11:10 something did glitch at beginning of eno
	11:12pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @11:10 It's my mixer. My TT mixer will do that if I exceed a certain level.
	11:12pm Cp304: ↳ Aitch @11:11 HeyAitch
	11:12pm coelacanth∅: heyAitch
	11:12pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @11:11 Better Aitch than never! Good to see you!
	🥁 11:12pm Aitch: ↳ Dean @11:10 sometimes no sheets at all
	🥁 11:12pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ ultradamno @11:11 Haha! The horrible boyfriend I had when I was 18-20 started listening to Rush Limbaugh on the radio. I left him shortly after that.
	11:13pm still b/p: Just in time for Eno and cop-ulation talk.
	11:13pm tom tom the pipers son: i went out with an older woman who's father was a nazi, the apple didn't fall far from the tree and made quick exit
	11:14pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:12 phew! thought my headphones were on the fritz for a second
	11:14pm glamour goblet: If one had to choose just one vocal lyric oriented Brian Eno career album - which one would ya?
	🥁 11:15pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:12 That same boyfriend ended up in prison about 8 years ago for getting hopped up on meth and trying to steal guns from a state trooper's house. When I learned about that, I had the best bout of schadenfreude ever recorded in history.
	🥁 11:15pm Kat in the chat: I generally don't even talk to cops, much less fuck them, but I did have a surprisingly pleasant interaction with one of Philly's finest last Sunday. An older black gentleman and I were at a bus stop in Center City trying to figure out the incomprehensible detours that had been put in place to accommodate the Greek Independence Parade. We were heading in what we thought was the right direction and my companion spotted a cop car parked in the intersection and declared, "I'm gonna ask the law right there." The "law" was as confused as we were, but said there should be a transit supervisor coming by shortly. We three had a brief and enjoyable conversation about Philly and then the 48 finally showed up.
	11:15pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @11:14 It's your DJ that's on the fritz
	11:16pm coelacanth∅: i think i don't look like someone most republicans would be attracted to
	🥁 11:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:15 I work in a building with some hot young cops. Sometimes I contemplate trying to corrupt them. I mean, it's New England. I gotta get creative with my transgressions. hahahaha.
	🥁 11:16pm Aitch: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:15 My 3 elder brothers were cops, I try not to talk to them either
	🥁 11:17pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:16 Same. I consider that an achievement.
	11:17pm tom tom the pipers son: @ rich .....opel....?
	11:18pm pot8o: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:16 i'm gay, so they definitely wouldn't be attracted to me
	🥁 11:18pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:16 LOL! Wendy And The Hot Young Cops
	11:19pm Cp304: ↳ glamour goblet @11:14 Would have to be once in a lifetime for me
	11:19pm spodiodi: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:29 greetings, coelacanthØ an Kat! (sorry slow, was eating)
	🥁 11:20pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:18 I'll get them to be my protective detail, except they're only allowed to chase boring people away. They have to be really nice to Queers and weirdos and buy them cups of coffee.
	🥁 11:20pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:20 Good luck with that :)
	🥁 11:21pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:20 A girl can dream! hahaha Although I could also just get non-cops to do this, and have a clearer conscience.
	🥁 11:22pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ pot8o @11:18 Well, they might... but you might not want any of that.
	11:22pm Cp304: I'm wiggin out
	🥁 11:22pm Wendy del Formaggio: Shameless self-promotion: It was my birthday this week, too!
	11:23pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:22 Aw dang, happy birthday, Wendy!
	🥁 11:23pm Kat in the chat: That's right, happy birthday Wendy! Even if I said it already, happy birthday again
	11:24pm pot8o: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:22 they can have someone else carry their luggage for them
	11:25pm coelacanth∅: my friend who became a cop (and nearly a lover) ultimately got harassed off the clark,nj police force for being a gay woman. ...but then, this in a town that also succeeded in getting an "interracial" family that'd bought a house there to move out. (this was in the 70s; maybe it's all better now)
	🥁 11:26pm Kat in the chat: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:25 I would hope that it is better now!
	🥁 11:28pm Wendy del Formaggio: Thanks, Rich and Kat! My avatar is my cake from when I turned 29.
	11:28pm pot8o: happy birthday wendy!
	11:29pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Gimme Back My Wig" by "Hound Dog Taylor & The Hou... always love the "genuine houserockin' music". it always sounds like it was recorded live at a state fair or something
	🥁 11:29pm Wendy del Formaggio: Thanks, pot8o!
	🥁 11:29pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:25 Feh.
	11:29pm coelacanth∅: oh, how'd i miss that? HAPPY BIRTHDAY WENDY!
	11:29pm glamour goblet: Dag-Nab-It …I just had my wig fitted for the weekend. - i shoulda known this was a hazardous⚠️wig-zone!
	🥁 11:30pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:28 amazing, it looks like it's on the verge of collapse in the best possible way
	11:30pm Dean: I regret that cops have such a bad reputation, and some of my regret is out of sympathy for them. Many individual cops want to work to improve their communities. They are unlikely to be newsworthy. And in my personal experience, which is no measure of how cops are generally, they can be such insufferable dicks.
	🥁 11:31pm Wendy del Formaggio: Thanks, coela! I tend to extend my birthday to an entire season. It officially began this past Saturday and will last until at least early-May.
	11:32pm coelacanth∅: ↳ glamour goblet @11:29 you must be prepared to share your wig!
	🥁 11:32pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:31 it will overlap with mine then, it's the last Sunday in April this year.
	11:32pm A➡B (A to tha B): Happy Birthday, Wendy! (Couldn't catch your show this past Monday though, sorry to say. Was out on errands that day.)
	11:32pm Cp304: I don't always like blues, but when Rich plays it, I dues blues
	11:33pm pot8o: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:32 mine too! it's exactly one week from now
	11:33pm Dean: They're called birth-DAYs, but in fact they're birthDAYS.
	🥁 11:34pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:30 It was! It was when I was living in an old woolen mill in White River Junction, Vermont, with four men, all of whom were either current or previous boyfriends of each other. What a house that was! One of them waited too long to bake the cake and the party had already started. So, he attempted to ice it while it was still hot. The top layer almost slid onto the floor but he caught it just in time. It was one of the best birthday parties I'd ever had.
	11:34pm Alex from Media: Hey! My Bday is today (for another half hour). April babies ROOL!
	🥁 11:34pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Dean @11:33 nice
	🥁 11:34pm Kat in the chat: ↳ pot8o @11:33 ah you're on the cusp then
	🥁 11:35pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ A➡B (A to tha B) @11:32 Thanks, A to tha B! I missed my show this past Monday, too. I was on a big errand to see a total eclipse! If you tune in this Monday I'll tell you all about it.
	11:35pm coelacanth∅: Happy Birthday Alex!
	11:35pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Alex from Media @11:34 Happy Be Day, Alex!
	🥁 11:35pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:32 Happy early birthday!
	🥁 11:35pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Alex from Media @11:34 well happy birthday to you then! waves from Philly
	🥁 11:36pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ pot8o @11:33 Happy early birthday!
	11:36pm A➡B (A to tha B): ↳ Cp304 @11:32 Harry Parmenter over on the R'n'S Stream sometimes dedicates his Funhouse show to particularly well-known Rhythm & Blues performers.
	🥁 11:36pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:34 That explains everything!
	🥁 11:36pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Dean @11:33 @Dean: EXACTLY!
	🥁 11:36pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @11:34 YAY! Happy birthday, Alex!
	11:37pm pot8o: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:36 thanks wendy!
	🥁 11:37pm Kat in the chat: I took the Friday before off, so I have a three-day birthday weekend coming up, not sure what I'm gonna do with it though
	11:37pm Cp304: ↳ A➡B (A to tha B) @11:36 I sure do the kitchen sink boogie a lotta days.. during the werk week.. I should tune in
	🥁 11:38pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Preachin' The Blues" by "Gun Club" good one
	11:38pm Alex from Media: Happy Birthday Wendy! pot8o! Kat! all April babies.
	11:38pm pot8o: ↳ Alex from Media @11:38 thanks alex!
	11:39pm coelacanth∅: Happy birthdays Wendy, Alex, Kat and Pot80!
	🥁 11:39pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Dean @11:30 @Dean: My favorite cousin was NYPD, and he was one of the scant few good ones. I've known others who were truly service-oriented. But... I have such a hard time with the institution. Like many things, it's complicated, especially when I live in a small town and like to maintain good relationships with as many people as possible, including the police. So few things are binary. Except for 1s and 0s.
	11:40pm wallflower: Matt B , Gabriel Q , David F.F.? - hhhhmmm🤔 (who else?)
	🥁 11:40pm Kat in the chat: Thanks all! I know soooo many April babies, it's a popular month to get born in.
	11:40pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Preachin' The Blues" by "Gun Club" Liking Gun Club lately. Didnt know them in the pre-WFMU time.
	11:40pm Rich in Washington: I cannot find my copy of Fire Of Love. Goddamn it.
	🥁 11:40pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ wallflower @11:40 Hahaha, Mark Merrill, silly! And... I bet we know each other.
	🥁 11:40pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Alex from Media @11:40 I have mixed feelings about Gun Club, but this slaps
	11:41pm Cp304: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:40 Deep breath.. think ..
	11:41pm Dean: I agree, Wendy.
	11:41pm Alex from Media: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:39 Thanks Coelacanth∅! Been meaning to ask (in my Neutrals voice) Whats the ∅ for?
	11:42pm A➡B (A to tha B): ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:35 I managed to take some pictures of it through my mom's camera, despite the clouds that obscured the view. That's our usual luck here. Every time a chance to view an eclipse comes along, clouds gang up on us and spoil it all.
	11:42pm Dean: But you're wrong about binary. I know a 1 who identifies as an 0.
	🥁 11:42pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Dean @11:42 Oh, Dean! That made me snortle.
	11:42pm Dean: Then my work is done.
	🥁 11:43pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ A➡B (A to tha B) @11:42 I took no photos. I was too busy being totally stunned.
	🥁 11:45pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Electricity" by "Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band" Yes! \m/
	🥁 11:46pm Kat in the chat: We had clouds roll in right at the peak of what we were gonna get here (about 90%) but it was cool to watch up to that point. i took the day off and went over by the Art Museum and lay on a hill with my eclipse glasses on. I totally missed out on 2018 in Chicago due to clouds so I was determined to see something this time around.
	11:46pm coelacanth∅: we have a few good cops here. the whole local force is generally decent, which is the key. many people become cops with good intentions and a sense of fairness, but get intimidated within the force until they comply with the rampant hate, racism, sexism and general assholeness. - and then there's the state cops of new york and new jersey, who have the Love "trained" out of them (like the military) until they're basically robo-hate machines.
	11:46pm ultradamno: Solid line, near Steven Wright one-liner worthy
	11:48pm ironybread: gool ol' Cap
	11:48pm pot8o: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:39 thanks coel!
	11:49pm wallflower: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:40 Witch🧙‍♀️one made the last minute cake 🎂? (btw: it looks freakin’ deliciously decadent moist and fruity sweet!) dang, I wanna slice right now!
	11:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Electricity" by "Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band" that theremin is great
	11:49pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Alex from Media @11:41 it's kind of a story. and i clearly shy away from telling lengthy, boring stories on the comments boards!
	🥁 11:50pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:46 Oy gevalt, I know. My aforementioned fave cousin I think may have been indoctrinated into some far-right shit. The last time I talked to him he said some vague things that alarmed me. He's always had a tender heart, and has been a bit of a "seeker" all his life. I'm sad, but I'm not sure what to do about it.
	11:50pm A➡B (A to tha B): ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:43 The folks in the Great Lakes region (especially the ones along Lakes Erie and Ontario) were the lucky ones who got to see the corona. Buffalo was the one city that was directly in the path of totality. Folks in other major cities had to go out a little way to see an absolute eclipse.
	11:51pm Alex from Media: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:49 Well there's a reason. And that's comforting.
	🥁 11:51pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ wallflower @11:49 @Wallflower: Mark made it. When I lived there (early-2003), he was the sweetest to me of the four Millbillies. And the cake was wonderful to eat and look at! How do you know them? Destiny?
	🥁 11:52pm Wendy del Formaggio: YAY RICH! <3 <3 <3
	11:52pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:50 whatever can be done, it must be done very gently
	🥁 11:52pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:50 "seekers" are vulnerable, so many end up in cults
	11:52pm Alex from Media: Thanks for the rockin show Rich (what I caught of it)! And thanks for the Bday wishes Rich and Kat (who I missed thanking earlier).
	🥁 11:53pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:52 Exactly. With all the love and compassion I possess. I adore my cousin.
	11:53pm Rich in Washington: "there's a seeker born every minute" Happy Harry Cox
	11:54pm Cp304: @ Rich . Filling the whole as always.. love ya bruh, and peoples.. thanks for empathy fatigue therapy.. love yas
	11:54pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks rich.... nice chatting
	🥁 11:54pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ wallflower @11:49 @Wallflower: It was David who introduced me to this particular version of "Cocktails for Two." I learned about a lot of great music from DFF.
	11:54pm A➡B (A to tha B): ↳ Alex from Media @11:52 Happy B-day to you too, Alex (before I forget)!
	11:54pm spodiodi: thanks, Rich!
	11:54pm ironybread: Well seekers...I guess this is the end...or is it only the -
	11:54pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Alex from Media @11:51 heh, well it started with a troll accusing me of stealing his/her handle!
	11:55pm Alex from Media: ↳ A➡B (A to tha B) @11:54 Thanks A➡B
	11:55pm A➡B (A to tha B): Thanks Rich! Thanks Wendy!
	11:56pm pot8o: thanks rich! have a great week everyone!
	11:56pm Alex from Media: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:54 Well known public domain word.
	🥁 11:56pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Walk Like An Egyptian" by "The Del Rubio Triplets" Way better than the original, in my opinion.
	11:56pm Dean: I'm going to duck after saying this, because I don't want to get into trouble, but I do think we need to be more open to so-called far-right folks. They are not all nut cases. People of all ideologies will say alarming things, and yet they can strike us as "tender" hearted, too.
	11:56pm Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:56 Just cause you like cheesy music.
	11:57pm wallflower: Yea, he’s a work of piece … one of a kid in a deck-o jokers. (don’t forget I’m playing wallflower). re cake: was that raspberry inside ? Flavors ?
	🥁 11:57pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @11:56 Perhaps...
	11:58pm Dean: btw, I'm making macaroni & fromage right now.
	11:58pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Alex from Media @11:56 well, and not true. it's been me since ~2011. i never saw another except when this person surfaced
	🥁 11:58pm Kat in the chat: After this show I'm going to be dreaming of cops dancing in donut shops
	11:58pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @11:56 are they capable of engaging in conversation really
	11:59pm Feldy: This show is providing a. Ice soundtrack to working on my Pinewood Derby car for tomorrow’s race
	11:59pm Gilded Goblet: ↳ Dean @11:56 - Worth Relating
	11:59pm pot8o: ↳ Dean @11:56 my two cents, but as someone who's lgbt+, i'd rather not be "open" to people who actively call for the murder of people like me since i don't want to cause a massive shitstorm like the show a couple weeks back, i'll end it here
	11:59pm Dean: Yes, tttps. Many are, and frankly, many on "our" side are not. Them's the breaks.
	11:59pm Feldy: *nice
	11:59pm Cp304: ↳ Dean @11:58 You go dean, I'm going with liquid tonight, double check your burners before you lay sideways
	11:59pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Dean @11:56 It's a super challenge though. I think the reichwing media that they're getting frop'd on has got them in a super agitated state. I'm in a very red section of a fairly blue state and I think some of this people are a few micrograms of seratonin away from shooting people.
	🥁 11:59pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ wallflower @11:57 That cake was made 21 years ago, so I have to plumb the depths of my memory... It was def chocolate cake... and I think cherry filling. Ah yes, you are playing wallflower, I see that. :-) Anyway, not sure if we know each other, but it sure was a trip having you guess the name of my former housemates! My world is so tiny and weird and wonderful.
	11:59pm Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Space Oddity" by "Langley Schools Music Project" This is popping up on multiple streams today.
	11:59pm Ike: Mmmm, tender hearts. Yummy.
	12:00am Rich in Washington: ↳ Alex from Media @11:59 Really? That's cool! I wonder why. I'm mainly playing it because I just found this album after losing it during my move last year.
	🥁 12:01am Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ pot8o @11:59 <3 Hugs and love to you, pot8o.
	🥁 12:02am Wendy del Formaggio: Rich, another fan-fucking-tastic show. This is definitely "appointment" radio.
	🥁 12:02am Kat in the chat: oh good, my stereo works
	12:02am Alex from Media: ↳ Song: "Space Oddity" by "Langley Schools Music Project" Pan-der to me!
	12:02am coelacanth∅: ↳ Kat in the chat @12:02 testing testing... YAY!
	🥁 12:03am Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @12:02 Haha, I see what you did there.
	12:03am coelacanth∅: Thank you Rich for spinning the discs and pushing the bits!
	12:03am Alex from Media: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @12:03 You taught me well Sensei Wendy!
	12:04am Feldy: Thanks Rich!
	12:04am Rich in Washington: Thanks everyone! Happy birthday, everyone!
	🥁 12:04am Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Alex from Media @12:03 <3
	🥁 12:04am Kat in the chat: Thank you, Rich!
	12:04am Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @12:02 Aw....
	🥁 12:04am Wendy del Formaggio: Yay Rich! Yay birthdays!
	12:04am Rich in Washington: Gotta go! I left my cake out in the rain, etc.!
	12:04am coelacanth∅: finally i can go brush my teeth
	🥁 12:05am WR: thank you, Rich!
