	♥ 9:07pm Feldy: Hello, Austin!
	9:12pm Mr. X: I live one block away from the railroad. We hear train noises here all day and all night.
	🎸 ♥ 9:13pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Austin Rich and mutants
	🎸 ♥ 9:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:13 coelacanthø! Thanks for buying a ticket, and taking the ride.
	🎸 ♥ 9:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:12 One of the perks of working for Southern Pacific (when my dad worked for them) was: free railroad housing. The downside: there is usually a set of tracks along one side of your house. Most of our houses growing up were very close to train lines.
	♥ 9:20pm Imaginos: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:13 Ahoy
	9:22pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:20 There's a park in Eugene next to the switching yard. They tried to make it sound good by naming it Trainsong Park.
	🎸 ♥ 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:22 I sort of love the train station in Eugene, but I've taken trips to and from there a lot.
	♥ 9:23pm Feldy: I love hearing about your father and train life
	🎸 ♥ 9:23pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Imaginos @9:20 Ahoy Imaginos!
	🎸 ♥ 9:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Feldy @9:23 I have a few more stories.
	🎸 ♥ 9:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Fast Train" by "The Estranged" It's been over 10 years since they have put out any records, but there was a five year span in Portland where this was one of the COOLEST bands around, and their records are all pretty excellent. It would be cool if they played shows again... I never got to see them.
	9:33pm Mr. X: I was raised on Odetta's version of "Little Red Caboose." My parents bought me a Sears guitar when I was 6, and Mom used that song for my beginner's lesson. But I never got the hang of guitar, and still can't do much on the guitar, other than making weird noises with it.
	9:33pm laurapanic: Oh hi fellow nerd, trains! I did a public transport zine back in the day
	🎸 ♥ 9:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:33 Woah! We should trade 'zines...
	9:34pm Mr Fab: haven't taken a lot of trains, but I regularly take the subway downtown, if that counts..?
	9:34pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:33 Austin! I saw a Blue Beetle show on one of the streaming services!!! I got unreasonably excited
	🎸 ♥ 9:35pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mr. X @9:33 weird noises are okay! -and very cool, being onto Odetta at a young age
	♥ 9:35pm Imaginos: I took a train from California to Washington State
	9:39pm laurapanic: Here in Australia, we have the iconic train ride, The Ghan en.wikipedia.org...
	9:39pm laurapanic: I grew up taking long train rides, and using trains in our big city when I lived there for 10yrs
	9:40pm laurapanic: ↳ laurapanic @9:39 I travelled alone, as a child between my parents homes, in different country towns
	9:41pm ramencity: Going to read up about the Ghan! I took a train full of Amish people once...
	9:41pm laurapanic: this is 2 of my favourite things, TRAINS AND RADIO.
	9:42pm laurapanic: ↳ ramencity @9:41 it has its own slow TV show here. like just hours of,......the view out the front of the Ghan.
	🎸 ♥ 9:42pm Austin Rich: Whoops! Looks like I accidently played this one twice! Sorry folks.
	♥ 9:43pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:42 You are forgiven
	9:43pm ramencity: ↳ laurapanic @9:42 Ooh, that is great! I found out that someone made a similar video of the train from Skopje to Gevgelija (Greek border) in Macedonia, which was my old ride... Want to watch that one too
	🎸 ♥ 9:43pm Austin Rich: I think this is the only flub I made this time. I'm usually a little more organized than that.
	9:43pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "Wedding Train" by "Snakepit" <3 Mike Johnson
	9:43pm laurapanic: ↳ ramencity @9:43 that sounds freaking DREAMY
	🎸 ♥ 9:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Wedding Train" by "Snakepit" Featuring Mike Johnson from Dinosaur Jr.!
	🎸 ♥ 9:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:43 What's not to love?
	9:44pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:44 oh?? Gonna see if my fella knows of it. He is Australia's leading Dino Jr fan (he's the guy who went to NY last year to see 6 shows in a row in Brooklyn)
	🎸 ♥ 9:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:43 The Ramen City Kid has had some Top Notch adventures.
	🎸 ♥ 9:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:44 Oh, damn! That beats out me. (I've only seen them a few times.) But The Ramen City Kid knew me at a more... obsessive phase of my youth... when I would talk of almost nothing else.
	9:46pm laurapanic: ↳ laurapanic @9:44 (no data to back up this claim, however)
	9:46pm laurapanic: he has NOT heard of Snakepit! Oh I am gonna impress him now....
	🎸 ♥ 9:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:46 I interviewed their drummer, Murph, many years ago. It's in the archive, somehwere... I got to see them for free because of that! (Which I'm very grateful for.)
	🎸 ♥ 9:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:46 panicon13th.blogspot.com...
	🎸 ♥ 9:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @9:47 You can download some stuff from that link.
	9:47pm ramencity: ↳ laurapanic @9:46 Mike Johnson has several solo albums that are all smoky and mopey - recommended!
	🎸 ♥ 9:47pm coelacanth∅: i've squandered a bit of time watching youboob videos from the perspective of a passenger on a picturesque train ride
	9:48pm ramencity: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:47 Do you have a favorite- that you want to check out in 'real life?'
	🎸 ♥ 9:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:47 Who among us hasn't watched videos of beautiful train rides when they are feeling the urge?
	9:49pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:47 is that your site? its terrific
	🎸 ♥ 9:50pm Heather: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:47 I also really like when people do tours of their sleeping cars. I've always wanted to take a long trip and get a sleeping car!
	🎸 ♥ 9:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:49 Oh, no! I can't take credit for that. It's a gentleman named Jeff Cellars, who used to put out Eugene comp tapes back in the day.
	🎸 ♥ 9:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather @9:50 Nice to see you in the chat!
	🎸 ♥ 9:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Train Station" by "Redmond Shooting Stars" Featuring Aaron Cometbus on drums!
	9:51pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "Train Station" by "Redmond Shooting Stars" <3 Nick Tucker!
	🎸 ♥ 9:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:51 Him too!
	9:52pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "Train Station" by "Redmond Shooting Stars" My other favorite fact about Redmond Shooting Stars: when bassist Sue got married, her newly-hyphenated last name was Thurston-Moore!
	🎸 ♥ 9:52pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @9:51 I've been tuned in and puttering! I get excited about trains like a little kid does. I didn't even mind being stuck waiting for one to go by when I was out today. Big long freight train, it was.
	🎸 ♥ 9:53pm coelacanth∅: ↳ ramencity @9:48 hmmm, i definitely had a few favorites but this is a few years ago now. i was looking for the right train whistle for a sound piece and stumbled across them... one from the swiss alps stands out...(?)
	9:53pm ramencity: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:53 oooh fondue train....mmmm
	9:55pm Mr. X: ↳ laurapanic @9:46 I used to run into the gal who did Snakepit's publicity, xeroxing posters and such at the copy shop in Eugene. Her name was Molly. She also was editor and publisher of our local punk zine, Snipehunt. She talked me into writing some band reviews for her.
	🎸 ♥ 9:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:55 Snipehunt was so good!
	9:55pm ramencity: ↳ Mr. X @9:55 Ooh, Kathy Malloy? I remember her... I still have most of the issues of Snipehunt in my closet...
	9:56pm laurapanic: this chat is so great. Cometbus!
	🎸 ♥ 9:57pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Heather @9:50 now i have to watch some videos! i don't recall watching any sleeping car videos. ...i've also watched videos of helmet-mounted cameras of motorcycle riders. i'd planned to make some myself but my financial situation changed and i never got the camera.
	9:57pm Mr. X: ↳ ramencity @9:55 Oh! That's right, Kathy Malloy, not Molly. She had skull earrings.
	9:57pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "Train Called Love" by "9th Life" <3 Sean DiFiore!
	🎸 ♥ 9:57pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Train Called Love" by "9th Life" I still can't find my 9th Life tape, which makes me sad. But I have these digital rips, which I quite love. 9th Life put on great shows; their drummer built a kit out of stuff from the junkyard, and would play standing up. Sean still lives in Eugene, and runs a bar called The Cowfish.
	🎸 ♥ 9:57pm coelacanth∅: ↳ ramencity @9:53 haha!
	🎸 ♥ 9:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:56 I still think about Cometbus stories I read 20+ years ago.
	🎸 ♥ 9:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:57 The singer / guitar player of 9th Life had a band in Eugene called The Asthma Hounds, that played more traditional rockabilly type music. But 9th Life was... more like Doo Rag, actually.
	🎸 ♥ 10:01pm Austin Rich: This Doo Rag album was a fave among some of the staff at my first radio station, KWVA. They had a few commercials that were cut from Doo Rag songs, that aired often, and made me track down this album eventually.
	10:01pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Train I Ride" by "Doo Rag" Keeping a list in my head of albums that I want to beg Austin to make me copies of. Doo Rag is definitely on the list.
	🎸 ♥ 10:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:01 That is easily arranged!
	🎸 ♥ 10:02pm Austin Rich: The show is gonna go long tonight. I'm should just learn to roll with that and add another hour to my show. I know Mr. Fab would love that.
	10:02pm ramencity: ↳ Mr. X @10:01 whoa! $$$ -> www.discogs.com...
	10:03pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Wally Ballou - Trophy Train Mike Upcutting" by "B... So is there going to be some explanation as to how these episodes were lost and then found?
	🎸 ♥ 10:03pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:02 Yeah, I wish I had a record of it. Just a copy.
	🎸 ♥ 10:04pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:03 I'll say a little something about that!
	♥ 10:04pm Imaginos: Last Train to Clarksville comes to mind
	10:05pm Mr. X: ↳ ramencity @10:02 Mighty steep. But, you know, supply and demand etc.
	🎸 ♥ 10:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:04 I thought about that song. I think there will be a series. I have more to say, and I found a documentary about hobos!
	10:06pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "The Train To Disaster" by "The Voice" Apparently a young Mick Ronson was on that train to disaster
	🎸 ♥ 10:06pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:06 Oh, right! I was trying to remember who was in that group.
	10:07pm ramencity: ↳ Austin Rich @10:05 Oooh, that episode can be intercut w/ samples from "Emperor of the North Pole"
	🎸 ♥ 10:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:07 Yeah. That movie. It's not great... but... it's not bad, either? It's sort of in a weird space.
	10:09pm ramencity: ↳ Austin Rich @10:07 whaddaya mean?! It's Lee Marvin as a rail-riding hobo! Name a better movie.
	10:09pm ramencity: ...and it better not be "Hu-Man"...
	10:09pm Mr. X: Always loved the surreal train cartoon opening for Soul Train.
	🎸 ♥ 10:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:09 Those were great! I haven't thought about those in ages.
	🎸 ♥ 10:22pm Austin Rich: A New York Graffiti joke. I guess some things never change.
	🎸 ♥ 10:23pm Austin Rich: I do love a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato. That is high class if you ask me!
	♥ 10:24pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Wally Ballou - From The Trophy Train #6_ Memorabi... I proudly purchased a Bert and Harry Piel beerholder at a flea market not long ago.
	🎸 ♥ 10:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:24 Woah! Very cool.
	10:26pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "Light Rail Coyote" by "Sleater-Kinney" #deepcut
	🎸 ♥ 10:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Light Rail Coyote" by "Sleater-Kinney" One of the best shows I saw, way back when, was Sleater-Kinney and Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. I saw Sleater-Kinney a couple other times after that, but that fist show... damn!
	♥ 10:26pm Imaginos: ↳ David Shortell @10:24 Beerholder?!
	🎸 ♥ 10:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:26 This album is so good!
	10:26pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Light Rail Coyote" by "Sleater-Kinney" Speaking of Portland's Max Line. True story about the coyote who rode the train and was caught on video.
	10:27pm laurapanic: further to my earlier comment about the Ghan, they aired a 17hr "show" of it travelling, on our govt broadcaster.
	🎸 ♥ 10:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:27 Damn. Even your TV is better.
	10:27pm ramencity: yes - the coyote on the Max! seattletransitblog.com...
	🎸 ♥ 10:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:27 Damn. I forgot how good that photo is.
	10:28pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @10:27 it probably is, indeed.
	10:28pm ramencity: ↳ laurapanic @10:27 My appreciation for Oz has only grown!
	🎸 ♥ 10:30pm Austin Rich: "Who are Bob & Ray?" Some of you might be asking that...
	🎸 ♥ 10:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Train To Loveland" by "MX-80 Sound" I know about this band because of The Ramen City Kid, who would regularly corner me when we lived together, and make me listen to the latest weird record that he'd just purchased. And I'm better for it!
	🎸 ♥ 10:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Trainwreck" by "The Dirtbombs" One of the single greatest shows I've ever seen was The Dirtbombs. They are FANTASTIC.
	10:33pm Mr. X: Apropos of nothing... I've got a ticket to see Floater this weekend.
	🎸 ♥ 10:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:33 I think you told me about this! How funny. Haven't thought of them in ages.
	10:37pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "The Runaway Train" by "Vernon Dalhart" Nice to hear the jaw harp.
	♥ 10:38pm Imaginos: Awesome show tonight
	🎸 ♥ 10:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "New River Train" by "Monroe Brothers" My friend Vicky teaches the "Country Music" lecture for a History of Rock and Roll class at Portland State University, and her lecture invovles a CD of her picks, for important country songs in the evolution of the genre, that led to rock and roll. This song is from her CD. Her lecture is great. I have seen it twice, back when I was a student. Vicky later DJ'd my wedding.
	🎸 ♥ 10:40pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:38 Thank you! I've had a lot of fun with it, even though I'm blowing cues behind the scenes.
	10:41pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "New River Train" by "Monroe Brothers" Polyamory in 1936.
	♥ 10:47pm Amygdala: ↳ Austin Rich @10:39 Just making a quick cameo before beddy-bye to let know how much I'm enjoying your ever-entertaining show Austin! As an aside, I'd love a copy of DJ Vicky's wedding playlist, or a show with some of it highlighted! Good evening to you and to one and all!
	10:48pm laurapanic: luuuurrrrking
	♥ 10:51pm Imaginos: My neck of the woods
	🎸 ♥ 10:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:51 The trophy train goes everywhere!
	10:52pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:02 Heck yeah!
	🎸 ♥ 10:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:41 It was more acceptable back then, so long as you keep it under you hat.
	10:55pm Mr Fab: Not trains, but ships- seriously considering this for next year: www.undergroundgaragecruise.com... Who’ll join me?
	♥ 10:56pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:52 Like this? youtu.be...
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:55 Damn! That lineup is pretty wild.
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:56 That looks pretty good. I'll have to check that out.
	10:58pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:57 Considering how expensive shows are, it might actually be cheaper to spend a ticket for the cruise then to see all those bands individually.
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Black Train" by "Rudy Thacker & the Stringbusters" I think you can still download these comps on the WFMU blog, and many other places, too.
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:58 Seriously!
	♥ 10:58pm Imaginos: Actually made it to end this time
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:58 I noticed! And it's much later for you than for me.
	🎸 ♥ 11:01pm Austin Rich: I think the biggest question becomes: what would that third hour actually be, if I did expand my show? I always seem to have about 20 minutes more material than I thought, but I'm not sure I could consistently fill three hours... unless I depended on filling it with a lot of old Over The Edge episodes or something.
	♥ 11:04pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @11:01 Amateur hour perhaps? I'm sure a few of the folks here have talent they can share
	🎸 ♥ 11:04pm Austin Rich: I've always liked Tom Waits. My mom used to listen to his first album when I was a kid. I thought all his albums sounded like that first album... and they do not! But I'm still a fan. One of the best shows I ever saw was Tom Waits... with The Ramen City Kid!
	11:04pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @11:01 Don-O already plays lots of OTE on “The Hour of Crap.”
	🎸 ♥ 11:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @11:04 Exactly. Unless I was to actually have more live Zoom calls, I'm not sure I have enough juice to fill a full extra hour. At lest not right now.
	11:07pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @11:04 Gotta figure he must have something going on, if he had flings with Bette Midler and Rikki Lee Jones.
	🎸 ♥ 11:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @11:07 Yeah. What a crazy life, for sure. His interviews are priceless!
	🎸 ♥ 11:11pm Heather: Thanks for an awesome train trip this eve! Night all!
	♥ 11:11pm Imaginos: ↳ Heather @11:11 Night Heather
	11:12pm Mr. X: You really drove the golden spike tonight, Austin. Great show! You are the little engine that could.
	♥ 11:14pm Imaginos: You are real people
	🎸 ♥ 11:14pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Austin! Thanks Rich! ...Thanks Imaginos! 'night y'all
	♥ 11:14pm Imaginos: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:14 Night
	🎸 ♥ 11:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Last Train" by "Dead Moon" I love Dead Moon. I was lucky enough to have The Ramen City Kid introduce me to them, and I saw them four or five times (maybe more?) when they were together. I wish I'd seen them more; they really were one of the best things about living in Portland back then.
	11:18pm ramencity: My friend Tim was wearing his Dead Moon shirt in the darkroom last night.. and the teacher was all, "...what's a Dead Moon?" And this other guy ran out and shouted, "Only the greatest band EVER! Way better than the Beatles!" (He knew that'd rankle the teacher)
	🎸 ♥ 11:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @11:18 But it's true; they are better than the Beatles.
	🎸 ♥ 11:23pm coelacanth∅: they're definitely less beatle-like than the beatles, in any case.
	🎸 ♥ 11:24pm Austin Rich: One last bit... thanks everyone! See ya next time.

Mid-Valley Mutations with Austin Rich: Playlist from June 4, 2024

View austinrich's profile

A combination of collage, new experimental records and other bits and bobs, Mid-Valley Mutations is a tour through the mind of Austin Rich, who has been broadcasting in some form since 1998. Heavily influenced by Dr Demento, Don Joyce and old fashioned College Radio, Austin creates Audio Essays on a variety of subjects, and even just plays records, from time to time. Sometimes Live music and Interviews will grace the program, helping create a situation where you don't really know what you're going to hear, when you tune in. What you need to know is when you enter the Mid-Valley region, be prepared for the Musical Mutations... in whatever form they take.

	🎸 ♥ 9:03pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @9:03 Maulydaft! Thanks for hopping on the trophy train!
	♥ 9:03pm Imaginos: If a band on the train starts playing Everybody But You, get off as soon as possible
	9:04pm Mr Fab: howdy, Austin. Yay, Bob n Ray!
	9:05pm ramencity: toot toot!
	🎸 ♥ 9:05pm Krys O.: _ly Ballou here! Oh, I've got to check out the archive for this. Must get some sleep.
	🎸 ♥ 9:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:04 Mr. Fab! Ramen City Kid! Krys O! Well, sleep well, Krys! And to everyone else: welcome aboard!
	♥ 9:07pm Feldy: Hello, Austin!
	9:12pm Mr. X: I live one block away from the railroad. We hear train noises here all day and all night.
	🎸 ♥ 9:13pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Austin Rich and mutants
	🎸 ♥ 9:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:13 coelacanthø! Thanks for buying a ticket, and taking the ride.
	🎸 ♥ 9:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:12 One of the perks of working for Southern Pacific (when my dad worked for them) was: free railroad housing. The downside: there is usually a set of tracks along one side of your house. Most of our houses growing up were very close to train lines.
	♥ 9:20pm Imaginos: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:13 Ahoy
	9:22pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:20 There's a park in Eugene next to the switching yard. They tried to make it sound good by naming it Trainsong Park.
	🎸 ♥ 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:22 I sort of love the train station in Eugene, but I've taken trips to and from there a lot.
	♥ 9:23pm Feldy: I love hearing about your father and train life
	🎸 ♥ 9:23pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Imaginos @9:20 Ahoy Imaginos!
	🎸 ♥ 9:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Feldy @9:23 I have a few more stories.
	🎸 ♥ 9:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Fast Train" by "The Estranged" It's been over 10 years since they have put out any records, but there was a five year span in Portland where this was one of the COOLEST bands around, and their records are all pretty excellent. It would be cool if they played shows again... I never got to see them.
	9:33pm Mr. X: I was raised on Odetta's version of "Little Red Caboose." My parents bought me a Sears guitar when I was 6, and Mom used that song for my beginner's lesson. But I never got the hang of guitar, and still can't do much on the guitar, other than making weird noises with it.
	9:33pm laurapanic: Oh hi fellow nerd, trains! I did a public transport zine back in the day
	🎸 ♥ 9:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:33 Woah! We should trade 'zines...
	9:34pm Mr Fab: haven't taken a lot of trains, but I regularly take the subway downtown, if that counts..?
	9:34pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:33 Austin! I saw a Blue Beetle show on one of the streaming services!!! I got unreasonably excited
	🎸 ♥ 9:35pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mr. X @9:33 weird noises are okay! -and very cool, being onto Odetta at a young age
	♥ 9:35pm Imaginos: I took a train from California to Washington State
	9:39pm laurapanic: Here in Australia, we have the iconic train ride, The Ghan en.wikipedia.org...
	9:39pm laurapanic: I grew up taking long train rides, and using trains in our big city when I lived there for 10yrs
	9:40pm laurapanic: ↳ laurapanic @9:39 I travelled alone, as a child between my parents homes, in different country towns
	9:41pm ramencity: Going to read up about the Ghan! I took a train full of Amish people once...
	9:41pm laurapanic: this is 2 of my favourite things, TRAINS AND RADIO.
	9:42pm laurapanic: ↳ ramencity @9:41 it has its own slow TV show here. like just hours of,......the view out the front of the Ghan.
	🎸 ♥ 9:42pm Austin Rich: Whoops! Looks like I accidently played this one twice! Sorry folks.
	♥ 9:43pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:42 You are forgiven
	9:43pm ramencity: ↳ laurapanic @9:42 Ooh, that is great! I found out that someone made a similar video of the train from Skopje to Gevgelija (Greek border) in Macedonia, which was my old ride... Want to watch that one too
	🎸 ♥ 9:43pm Austin Rich: I think this is the only flub I made this time. I'm usually a little more organized than that.
	9:43pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "Wedding Train" by "Snakepit" <3 Mike Johnson
	9:43pm laurapanic: ↳ ramencity @9:43 that sounds freaking DREAMY
	🎸 ♥ 9:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Wedding Train" by "Snakepit" Featuring Mike Johnson from Dinosaur Jr.!
	🎸 ♥ 9:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:43 What's not to love?
	9:44pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:44 oh?? Gonna see if my fella knows of it. He is Australia's leading Dino Jr fan (he's the guy who went to NY last year to see 6 shows in a row in Brooklyn)
	🎸 ♥ 9:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:43 The Ramen City Kid has had some Top Notch adventures.
	🎸 ♥ 9:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:44 Oh, damn! That beats out me. (I've only seen them a few times.) But The Ramen City Kid knew me at a more... obsessive phase of my youth... when I would talk of almost nothing else.
	9:46pm laurapanic: ↳ laurapanic @9:44 (no data to back up this claim, however)
	9:46pm laurapanic: he has NOT heard of Snakepit! Oh I am gonna impress him now....
	🎸 ♥ 9:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:46 I interviewed their drummer, Murph, many years ago. It's in the archive, somehwere... I got to see them for free because of that! (Which I'm very grateful for.)
	🎸 ♥ 9:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:46 panicon13th.blogspot.com...
	🎸 ♥ 9:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @9:47 You can download some stuff from that link.
	9:47pm ramencity: ↳ laurapanic @9:46 Mike Johnson has several solo albums that are all smoky and mopey - recommended!
	🎸 ♥ 9:47pm coelacanth∅: i've squandered a bit of time watching youboob videos from the perspective of a passenger on a picturesque train ride
	9:48pm ramencity: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:47 Do you have a favorite- that you want to check out in 'real life?'
	🎸 ♥ 9:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:47 Who among us hasn't watched videos of beautiful train rides when they are feeling the urge?
	9:49pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:47 is that your site? its terrific
	🎸 ♥ 9:50pm Heather: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:47 I also really like when people do tours of their sleeping cars. I've always wanted to take a long trip and get a sleeping car!
	🎸 ♥ 9:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:49 Oh, no! I can't take credit for that. It's a gentleman named Jeff Cellars, who used to put out Eugene comp tapes back in the day.
	🎸 ♥ 9:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather @9:50 Nice to see you in the chat!
	🎸 ♥ 9:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Train Station" by "Redmond Shooting Stars" Featuring Aaron Cometbus on drums!
	9:51pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "Train Station" by "Redmond Shooting Stars" <3 Nick Tucker!
	🎸 ♥ 9:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:51 Him too!
	9:52pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "Train Station" by "Redmond Shooting Stars" My other favorite fact about Redmond Shooting Stars: when bassist Sue got married, her newly-hyphenated last name was Thurston-Moore!
	🎸 ♥ 9:52pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @9:51 I've been tuned in and puttering! I get excited about trains like a little kid does. I didn't even mind being stuck waiting for one to go by when I was out today. Big long freight train, it was.
	🎸 ♥ 9:53pm coelacanth∅: ↳ ramencity @9:48 hmmm, i definitely had a few favorites but this is a few years ago now. i was looking for the right train whistle for a sound piece and stumbled across them... one from the swiss alps stands out...(?)
	9:53pm ramencity: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:53 oooh fondue train....mmmm
	9:55pm Mr. X: ↳ laurapanic @9:46 I used to run into the gal who did Snakepit's publicity, xeroxing posters and such at the copy shop in Eugene. Her name was Molly. She also was editor and publisher of our local punk zine, Snipehunt. She talked me into writing some band reviews for her.
	🎸 ♥ 9:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:55 Snipehunt was so good!
	9:55pm ramencity: ↳ Mr. X @9:55 Ooh, Kathy Malloy? I remember her... I still have most of the issues of Snipehunt in my closet...
	9:56pm laurapanic: this chat is so great. Cometbus!
	🎸 ♥ 9:57pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Heather @9:50 now i have to watch some videos! i don't recall watching any sleeping car videos. ...i've also watched videos of helmet-mounted cameras of motorcycle riders. i'd planned to make some myself but my financial situation changed and i never got the camera.
	9:57pm Mr. X: ↳ ramencity @9:55 Oh! That's right, Kathy Malloy, not Molly. She had skull earrings.
	9:57pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "Train Called Love" by "9th Life" <3 Sean DiFiore!
	🎸 ♥ 9:57pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Train Called Love" by "9th Life" I still can't find my 9th Life tape, which makes me sad. But I have these digital rips, which I quite love. 9th Life put on great shows; their drummer built a kit out of stuff from the junkyard, and would play standing up. Sean still lives in Eugene, and runs a bar called The Cowfish.
	🎸 ♥ 9:57pm coelacanth∅: ↳ ramencity @9:53 haha!
	🎸 ♥ 9:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:56 I still think about Cometbus stories I read 20+ years ago.
	🎸 ♥ 9:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:57 The singer / guitar player of 9th Life had a band in Eugene called The Asthma Hounds, that played more traditional rockabilly type music. But 9th Life was... more like Doo Rag, actually.
	🎸 ♥ 10:01pm Austin Rich: This Doo Rag album was a fave among some of the staff at my first radio station, KWVA. They had a few commercials that were cut from Doo Rag songs, that aired often, and made me track down this album eventually.
	10:01pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Train I Ride" by "Doo Rag" Keeping a list in my head of albums that I want to beg Austin to make me copies of. Doo Rag is definitely on the list.
	🎸 ♥ 10:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:01 That is easily arranged!
	🎸 ♥ 10:02pm Austin Rich: The show is gonna go long tonight. I'm should just learn to roll with that and add another hour to my show. I know Mr. Fab would love that.
	10:02pm ramencity: ↳ Mr. X @10:01 whoa! $$$ -> www.discogs.com...
	10:03pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Wally Ballou - Trophy Train Mike Upcutting" by "B... So is there going to be some explanation as to how these episodes were lost and then found?
	🎸 ♥ 10:03pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:02 Yeah, I wish I had a record of it. Just a copy.
	🎸 ♥ 10:04pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:03 I'll say a little something about that!
	♥ 10:04pm Imaginos: Last Train to Clarksville comes to mind
	10:05pm Mr. X: ↳ ramencity @10:02 Mighty steep. But, you know, supply and demand etc.
	🎸 ♥ 10:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:04 I thought about that song. I think there will be a series. I have more to say, and I found a documentary about hobos!
	10:06pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "The Train To Disaster" by "The Voice" Apparently a young Mick Ronson was on that train to disaster
	🎸 ♥ 10:06pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:06 Oh, right! I was trying to remember who was in that group.
	10:07pm ramencity: ↳ Austin Rich @10:05 Oooh, that episode can be intercut w/ samples from "Emperor of the North Pole"
	🎸 ♥ 10:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:07 Yeah. That movie. It's not great... but... it's not bad, either? It's sort of in a weird space.
	10:09pm ramencity: ↳ Austin Rich @10:07 whaddaya mean?! It's Lee Marvin as a rail-riding hobo! Name a better movie.
	10:09pm ramencity: ...and it better not be "Hu-Man"...
	10:09pm Mr. X: Always loved the surreal train cartoon opening for Soul Train.
	🎸 ♥ 10:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:09 Those were great! I haven't thought about those in ages.
	🎸 ♥ 10:22pm Austin Rich: A New York Graffiti joke. I guess some things never change.
	🎸 ♥ 10:23pm Austin Rich: I do love a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato. That is high class if you ask me!
	♥ 10:24pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Wally Ballou - From The Trophy Train #6_ Memorabi... I proudly purchased a Bert and Harry Piel beerholder at a flea market not long ago.
	🎸 ♥ 10:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:24 Woah! Very cool.
	10:26pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "Light Rail Coyote" by "Sleater-Kinney" #deepcut
	🎸 ♥ 10:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Light Rail Coyote" by "Sleater-Kinney" One of the best shows I saw, way back when, was Sleater-Kinney and Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. I saw Sleater-Kinney a couple other times after that, but that fist show... damn!
	♥ 10:26pm Imaginos: ↳ David Shortell @10:24 Beerholder?!
	🎸 ♥ 10:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:26 This album is so good!
	10:26pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Light Rail Coyote" by "Sleater-Kinney" Speaking of Portland's Max Line. True story about the coyote who rode the train and was caught on video.
	10:27pm laurapanic: further to my earlier comment about the Ghan, they aired a 17hr "show" of it travelling, on our govt broadcaster.
	🎸 ♥ 10:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:27 Damn. Even your TV is better.
	10:27pm ramencity: yes - the coyote on the Max! seattletransitblog.com...
	🎸 ♥ 10:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:27 Damn. I forgot how good that photo is.
	10:28pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @10:27 it probably is, indeed.
	10:28pm ramencity: ↳ laurapanic @10:27 My appreciation for Oz has only grown!
	🎸 ♥ 10:30pm Austin Rich: "Who are Bob & Ray?" Some of you might be asking that...
	🎸 ♥ 10:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Train To Loveland" by "MX-80 Sound" I know about this band because of The Ramen City Kid, who would regularly corner me when we lived together, and make me listen to the latest weird record that he'd just purchased. And I'm better for it!
	🎸 ♥ 10:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Trainwreck" by "The Dirtbombs" One of the single greatest shows I've ever seen was The Dirtbombs. They are FANTASTIC.
	10:33pm Mr. X: Apropos of nothing... I've got a ticket to see Floater this weekend.
	🎸 ♥ 10:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:33 I think you told me about this! How funny. Haven't thought of them in ages.
	10:37pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "The Runaway Train" by "Vernon Dalhart" Nice to hear the jaw harp.
	♥ 10:38pm Imaginos: Awesome show tonight
	🎸 ♥ 10:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "New River Train" by "Monroe Brothers" My friend Vicky teaches the "Country Music" lecture for a History of Rock and Roll class at Portland State University, and her lecture invovles a CD of her picks, for important country songs in the evolution of the genre, that led to rock and roll. This song is from her CD. Her lecture is great. I have seen it twice, back when I was a student. Vicky later DJ'd my wedding.
	🎸 ♥ 10:40pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:38 Thank you! I've had a lot of fun with it, even though I'm blowing cues behind the scenes.
	10:41pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "New River Train" by "Monroe Brothers" Polyamory in 1936.
	♥ 10:47pm Amygdala: ↳ Austin Rich @10:39 Just making a quick cameo before beddy-bye to let know how much I'm enjoying your ever-entertaining show Austin! As an aside, I'd love a copy of DJ Vicky's wedding playlist, or a show with some of it highlighted! Good evening to you and to one and all!
	10:48pm laurapanic: luuuurrrrking
	♥ 10:51pm Imaginos: My neck of the woods
	🎸 ♥ 10:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:51 The trophy train goes everywhere!
	10:52pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:02 Heck yeah!
	🎸 ♥ 10:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:41 It was more acceptable back then, so long as you keep it under you hat.
	10:55pm Mr Fab: Not trains, but ships- seriously considering this for next year: www.undergroundgaragecruise.com... Who’ll join me?
	♥ 10:56pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:52 Like this? youtu.be...
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:55 Damn! That lineup is pretty wild.
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:56 That looks pretty good. I'll have to check that out.
	10:58pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:57 Considering how expensive shows are, it might actually be cheaper to spend a ticket for the cruise then to see all those bands individually.
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Black Train" by "Rudy Thacker & the Stringbusters" I think you can still download these comps on the WFMU blog, and many other places, too.
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:58 Seriously!
	♥ 10:58pm Imaginos: Actually made it to end this time
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:58 I noticed! And it's much later for you than for me.
	🎸 ♥ 11:01pm Austin Rich: I think the biggest question becomes: what would that third hour actually be, if I did expand my show? I always seem to have about 20 minutes more material than I thought, but I'm not sure I could consistently fill three hours... unless I depended on filling it with a lot of old Over The Edge episodes or something.
	♥ 11:04pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @11:01 Amateur hour perhaps? I'm sure a few of the folks here have talent they can share
	🎸 ♥ 11:04pm Austin Rich: I've always liked Tom Waits. My mom used to listen to his first album when I was a kid. I thought all his albums sounded like that first album... and they do not! But I'm still a fan. One of the best shows I ever saw was Tom Waits... with The Ramen City Kid!
	11:04pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @11:01 Don-O already plays lots of OTE on “The Hour of Crap.”
	🎸 ♥ 11:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @11:04 Exactly. Unless I was to actually have more live Zoom calls, I'm not sure I have enough juice to fill a full extra hour. At lest not right now.
	11:07pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @11:04 Gotta figure he must have something going on, if he had flings with Bette Midler and Rikki Lee Jones.
	🎸 ♥ 11:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @11:07 Yeah. What a crazy life, for sure. His interviews are priceless!
	🎸 ♥ 11:11pm Heather: Thanks for an awesome train trip this eve! Night all!
	♥ 11:11pm Imaginos: ↳ Heather @11:11 Night Heather
	11:12pm Mr. X: You really drove the golden spike tonight, Austin. Great show! You are the little engine that could.
	♥ 11:14pm Imaginos: You are real people
	🎸 ♥ 11:14pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Austin! Thanks Rich! ...Thanks Imaginos! 'night y'all
	♥ 11:14pm Imaginos: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:14 Night
	🎸 ♥ 11:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Last Train" by "Dead Moon" I love Dead Moon. I was lucky enough to have The Ramen City Kid introduce me to them, and I saw them four or five times (maybe more?) when they were together. I wish I'd seen them more; they really were one of the best things about living in Portland back then.
	11:18pm ramencity: My friend Tim was wearing his Dead Moon shirt in the darkroom last night.. and the teacher was all, "...what's a Dead Moon?" And this other guy ran out and shouted, "Only the greatest band EVER! Way better than the Beatles!" (He knew that'd rankle the teacher)
	🎸 ♥ 11:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @11:18 But it's true; they are better than the Beatles.
	🎸 ♥ 11:23pm coelacanth∅: they're definitely less beatle-like than the beatles, in any case.
	🎸 ♥ 11:24pm Austin Rich: One last bit... thanks everyone! See ya next time.
