WFMU: Mid-Valley Mutations with Austin Rich: Playlist from June 18, 2024

Listener comments!
	🎸 ♥ 7:32pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	🎸 ♥ 9:00pm Krys O.: Hi!!
	🎸 ♥ 9:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:00 Thanks for listening! Pull up a pillow and a read-along-book, and enjoy!
	9:02pm Sarcofiguy: Good night, dear boy!😘
	🎸 ♥ 9:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Sarcofiguy @9:02 Sleep well, sir! (And Danny Kaye says good night, too!)
	🎸 ♥ 9:04pm Austin Rich: Danny Kaye's laugh here is so unnerving!
	🎸 ♥ 9:13pm Krys O.: Peter Goldmark was part of the team that developed the LP. He also helped develop TV technology. My brother worked for him in the 70s transferring films to EVR cassettes. en.wikipedia.org...
	🎸 ♥ 9:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:13 Woah! That's very cool. I'll have to read up on him.
	🎸 ♥ 9:14pm Krys O.: ↳ Krys O. @9:13 Well, crap. I just noticed Goldmark died in my hometown in a car accident in 1977. :(
	🎸 ♥ 9:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:14 Oh, bummer. I'm sorry.
	🎸 ♥ 9:16pm Krys O.: These sounds and voices have my kitties' attention.
	🎸 ♥ 9:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:16 It's hard not to ignore Boris' voice. The animals know he's a friendly chap.
	🎸 ♥ 9:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Last Instar" by "Brown (Jeremy C. Long)" Jeremy C. Long mostly performs under his own name these days, but this album was released under the name "Brown." Jeremy has played a few shows that I booked, but I haven't seen him since I moved to the Mid-Valley. A very nice gent; we used to get drinks on the regular, back in the day.
	9:20pm Geoff-U: Happy Tuesday!
	🎸 ♥ 9:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "[Untitled II]" by "L.A. Lungs" I engineered a live radio gig where LA Lungs played, and it was a delightful show. I was stoked to come across this record, years later.
	🎸 ♥ 9:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @9:20 Geoff-U! Thanks for joining us.
	🎸 ♥ 9:26pm Austin Rich: "No pantry stories?" Everyone's a critic.
	🎸 ♥ 9:27pm univac: Hey there! Really enjoying this, Austin!
	🎸 ♥ 9:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @9:27 univac! Ahhh, that's sweet. Thanks for tuning in!
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm univac: Such a great story. And Boris' reading is excellent.
	🎸 ♥ 9:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @9:30 He really had such an excellent voice. All of the records where he's reading stories are just great.
	9:32pm laurapanic: just arrived - I love your collab radio experiments like this.
	9:32pm Barno (from Akron): How do you do, fellow kids?
	🎸 ♥ 9:41pm Austin Rich: In this section we'll hear three, short stories ready by Danny Kaye. Hopefully I left enough space between them to help make the breaks obvious.
	9:41pm Barno (from Akron): Hi Austin - thanks for the shout out - listening from the car
	🎸 ♥ 9:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ Barno (from Akron) @9:41 Driving and listening to WFMU / Sheena's is how I cope with bad traffic.
	🎸 ♥ 9:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:32 I was listening to stuff I did like this in the 90's, when had much less of a sense of how to do this. I miss some things about the "old days," but frankly, I'm better at this kind of radio, now that I have better tools to work with.
	9:44pm Barno (from Akron): Hey, if you’re not aware - Silica-Gel rereleased Noisy Children Party on a 2xLp - I ordered a copy on Bandcamp- it’s sweet! And the printing of the record sleeve is primo - with varnished graphics- it’s really groovy - pun intended 🙂
	🎸 ♥ 9:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Barno (from Akron) @9:44 I was thinking about ordering that. I recall really enjoying their stuff.
	🎸 ♥ 9:48pm Krys O.: Heading off to the land of Nod. Good night, all!
	🎸 ♥ 9:48pm Austin Rich: Wow! That live, LA Lungs appearance on the radio was in 2006! Here's a link, where I was engineering their performance: whatsthiscalled.net...
	🎸 ♥ 9:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:48 Sleep well, Krys O!
	🎸 ♥ 9:50pm Austin Rich: Their mom is pretty trusting of a strange bear that just shows up at their door randomly. I saw Grizzly Man. I know how this story CAN turn out.
	🎸 ♥ 9:50pm Austin Rich: Bears have treasure? I did not realize.
	9:51pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:50 choose the bear, tho
	🎸 ♥ 9:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:51 I have met a number of "bears" who had pretty good jobs, and nice houses. So I guess that is a sort of treasure, in a way.
	🎸 ♥ 9:53pm Austin Rich: I guess fish are legendarily attracted to beards, too?
	9:53pm laurapanic: mmmmmmmmmmmmmm alliteration
	🎸 ♥ 9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:53 Danny Kaye's tongue dances around words almost as well as he dances around stages.
	🎸 ♥ 10:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Graviton Polarity Generator / Ectoplasm / Head Tr... Sir Richard Bishop was in Sun City Girls, and now has a rather extensive solo career. He lives in PDX and plays / records often enough. (I last saw him play opening for Porest.) Richard is also a rare book dealer, and specializes in books of an esoteric or "mystical" origin, a lot of stuff that is pretty old and pretty cool. I get to interact with him for both work (books) and for fun (music).
	🎸 ♥ 10:22pm univac: Really enjoying this, Austin! Gotta run though. Hear you next time!
	10:26pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @10:08 what is your books work??
	🎸 ♥ 10:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:26 I work for this small bookstore, that has two locations in the Mid-Valley. I work in the Salem store: bookbin.com
	🎸 ♥ 10:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:31 I manage the shipping and online sales for the Rare Book Room, where we mostly deal in Sci-Fi first editions and signed books, among many other things. (We have a bunch of signed Dr. Who scripts, and stuff like that, too.)
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:33 There's a bunch of ways that you can search our collection, but I think shipping to your neck of the woods is a bit costly. (And some customers do try, and get turned off by the cost.)
	🎸 ♥ 10:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Leading the Deer and Monoceros Through the Disint... Back in the day, I was the engineer for a few live performances by Cornelius F. Van Stafrin III, a masked performer who doesn't really do interviews or let his face be seen. I'm a fan of his music, but now he lives on the east coast, and I haven't seen him in about 10 years.
	10:43pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @10:35 that's OK, virtual browsing is still fun!! I liked hearing about it. :)
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:43 I had to ship something to China Miéville not long ago, who bought a bunch of stuff from us. That was kind of exciting.
	🎸 ♥ 10:46pm Austin Rich: Here's one way you can search us: www.biblio.com...
	🎸 ♥ 10:47pm Austin Rich: And another: www.abebooks.com...
	🎸 ♥ 10:47pm Austin Rich: We're on Amazon too, but we sort of discourage people from doing that, unless it's a last resort. (We get the WORST cut from them.)
	🎸 ♥ 10:48pm Heather: Did that horse just narc on the camel? Omg the dog is a snitch, too? Don't even tell me... not the ox as well.
	🎸 ♥ 10:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather @10:48 All the animals are. It's bad.
	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:49 Can't trust anyone out in that desert, the man most of all...
	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Be" by "Derek M. Johnson" Here's when I had Derek on my show. I've engineered him a number of times, and he even played cello on an Unwound album, back in the day. whatsthiscalled.net...
	🎸 ♥ 10:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Leading the Deer and Monoceros Through the Disint... And here's a link to my Cornelius set: whatsthiscalled.net...
	🎸 ♥ 10:54pm Austin Rich: "I'll humph him." These stories must have had an impact on me as a kid.
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:54 I clocked that. It's amazing the stuff thought appropriate for kids when we were little! Awesome show tonight, as always! Super enjoying it even if I'm sad for the camel and that poor Christmas tree.
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather @10:58 That Fir Tree story is like my biography. It really moved me. I may have to start playing that at Christmas every year.
	🎸 ♥ 11:00pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:59 It really had an impact. First time I've heard it was here tonight and wow am I glad I have a fake tree I put up instead of getting a live one!
	🎸 ♥ 11:11pm Heather: Super formal, stilted speech was my default until after college because I was a shy kid, always nose in a book, and I took a while to learn to be more "normal" in my speech. All those old books we had around really influenced me. And did not help me become less shy. Weird formal kids weren't necessarily a hit on the playground in the 80s!
	🎸 ♥ 11:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather @11:11 I had the same problem. My mom had a bookstore when I was a kid, and I was always reading sci-fi and comics. So I sort of talked like some character from a sci-fi story. Most kids (and adults) found it a little unnerving to talk to me.
	🎸 ♥ 11:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Praeludium" by "Aume" One of the things I love about this Aume LP is that you have to ruin the cover, and cut part of the cover, to get the record out, and play it. In this day and age, there's often ways to find these kinds of albums online, but I do like that I had to devalue my record to hear it. There's something sort of creatively satisfying about that.
	🎸 ♥ 11:23pm Austin Rich: There's something about "The Ugly Duckling" that feels a little too optimistic to me. Certainly, we are all waiting for those moments when we find the people who will see us as beautiful, instead of as the way we feel. If only it were that easy.
	🎸 ♥ 11:25pm Austin Rich: I think we can still leave comments, but certainly, we are sort of fighting against the system at this point.
	🎸 ♥ 11:32pm Austin Rich: Good night, everyone!

Mid-Valley Mutations with Austin Rich: Playlist from June 18, 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.

Tuesday 9 - 11pm (EDT) | On WFMU's Sheena's Jungle Room
