Listener comments!
	7:48pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	7:52pm Krys O.: Howdy!
	7:52pm postconsumer: hi, zine friend! I'm glad we'll have at least one zine-savvy person listening...
	7:52pm postconsumer: Hi, Krys!
	7:53pm Imaginos: Ahoy!
	7:54pm Austin Rich: Nice to see you, Krys, postconsumer and Imaginos! I'm doing a fairly personal show tonight, too... including a few samples from Pump Up The Volume, natch...
	7:57pm postconsumer: nice! I've gotten nowhere with that mix. inspiration just hasn't hit. I'm working on Good Morning Vietnam, at present.
	7:57pm postconsumer: Welcome, Imaginos!
	7:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @7:57 Nice! I think a sample from that one makes its way into the show tonight, too! Great minds...
	8:00pm postconsumer: 😄
	8:01pm postconsumer: I think it's a little hot?
	8:02pm Krys O.: ↳ postconsumer @8:01 The levels are not pinging on BUTT.
	8:03pm postconsumer: some of the samples in the recap were distorted. sounds ok now though, thanks
	8:04pm Austin Rich: Sounds good here. I remember LOVING this song when it came out. I didn't have the album, but I would hear it at the skating rink, and on the radio.
	8:04pm postconsumer: it's quintessential 80s pop
	8:06pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @8:04 When this would come on at the Skating Rink, I would stop playing whatever arcade game I was obsessed with, and skate around to this song, then go back to the arcade. That is my memory of this song: skating and video games of the 80's.
	8:07pm postconsumer: I wish I'd gone to skate nights with music like this, when I was a kid. Sounds like bliss. As you'll hear, this hour, I was trapped in a very conservative religious bubble which I was only STARTING to escape...
	8:11pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @8:07 My mom worked at the Bowling Alley, and was able to get us into the Skating Rink as part of a trade she worked out between the businesses. If I was at the Skating Rink or the Bowling Alley, it was because my parents were working, and I was being "watched" by some teenager with an after school job. So one escape for some is another prison for others, so to speak...
	8:12pm postconsumer: there's a zine in that, for sure.
	8:12pm Austin Rich: Star Trek IV was huge for me when it came out. I had just gotten very into Trek, and then that was the new movie. I HAD TO SEE IT!
	8:13pm postconsumer: What do you think, does this qualify as a perzine, or am I pushing the definition, way too far?
	8:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @8:13 It's personal, so I'm not sure anyone can make that call but you. It seems pretty ziney to me.
	8:13pm postconsumer: ↳ Austin Rich @8:12 that trilogy (Star Trek) was a huge moment for me, too.
	8:14pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @8:12 Star Trek IV still holds a special place for me too
	8:14pm postconsumer: Christ with a CRUTCH 🤣
	8:14pm postconsumer: ↳ Imaginos @8:14 I love that trilogy so much. I'll explain a bit, on the show, in a minute...
	8:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "The Way it Is" by "Bruce Hornsby and the Range" My mom had this album, and listened to it a lot. I always think of her when I think of this song.
	8:16pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:14 Hornsby joined the Grateful Dead's touring band.
	8:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:16 Really? Is that his pedigree? I didn't realize.
	8:16pm postconsumer: I was so isolated, I might have heard it on the radio, which I was JUST starting to listen to.
	8:17pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:16 No, he did it after the hit.
	8:18pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:16 From 1990 to 1992.
	8:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @8:14 My wife and I are big Trekkers, and try to keep up with the show. I bonded hard with those movies and Original Trek as a kid, but TNG was on when I was in High School, and that is the show I'm pretty nostalgic for, even if the other shows are pretty good, too.
	8:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:18 Oh, I see! Afterwards. I guess that makes sense.
	8:19pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Krys O. @8:16 I never saw The Dead when Bruce was in the band, but I'm trying to imagine how his style squared with theirs.
	8:21pm Krys O.: ↳ Franco Twinkie @8:19 Hi, Franco! Hornsby's range encompassed many genres.
	8:22pm Austin Rich: Some people DO consider Star Trek to be a religion; I remember my mom telling me about the extreme Trek fans she would meet at conventions. My mom's girlfriend was the first person to explain to me what "slash" fiction was, something I was very confused by - and interested in, for some reason - for many years after.
	8:23pm Austin Rich: Reading comic books and Star Trek and being a confused 12 year old. Are you sure we weren't the same kid, Jon?
	8:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Real Wild Child (Wild One)" by "Iggy Pop" I love Iggy more as I get older. So brilliant.
	8:24pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Krys O. @8:21 I can hear how dexterous he is, and considering how their keyboard players seemed to be hexed, he's lucky he escaped the curse.
	8:24pm Imaginos: Just tried putting raspberry vinaigrette dressing on popcorn
	8:24pm postconsumer: I looked back at part one this afternoon and saw in the comments you'd arrived at the conclusion we were the same age. I think you're right. Did you graduate in 92?
	8:25pm Krys O.: ↳ Franco Twinkie @8:24 True.
	8:25pm postconsumer: I neglected to welcome you, Franco... Welcome, Franco!
	8:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @8:24 1993.
	8:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @8:24 That might actually be pretty tasty! Give it a shot.
	8:26pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ postconsumer @8:25 Hello postconsumer.
	8:26pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @8:25 Its delicious
	8:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @8:24 I think this is common for kids of divorced parents, but I feel like I grew up a lot in the year after my parents divorced, between 6th and 7th grade.
	8:28pm Imaginos: Nothing wrong with Monkees records
	8:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @8:28 That Monkees movie, "Head," is a classic!
	8:29pm postconsumer: ↳ Imaginos @8:28 not at all. I love the Monkees.
	8:30pm Imaginos: ↳ postconsumer @8:29 Have you seen Doctor Ducks Super Secret All Purpose Sauce?
	8:30pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Austin Rich @8:29 Have you ever seen The King of Marvin Gardens?
	8:31pm postconsumer: I found "Head" my senior year and was so excited. It was clearly great, and it felt like I could finally share my love of the monkees once I'd found it. referring to the fact that in certain circles, the band having been assembled was reason for disrespect...
	8:31pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @8:29 And Elephant Parts
	8:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ Franco Twinkie @8:30 No, I haven't. Looks like some of the same crew as "Head." Hmmmm... Will have to investigate...
	8:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @8:31 Oh shit! This looks great! Might have to have a double feature with Franco's pick, too...
	8:32pm Krys O.: Popcorn sounds good, but I just had matcha ice cream.
	8:33pm postconsumer: totally awesome!
	8:33pm Imaginos: ↳ postconsumer @8:31 If you like strange movies by music artists try 200 Motels
	8:34pm postconsumer: Is the tape discernible? Is it too low in the mix? sounds good to me, but I've been working with it for hours and can't be a good judge at this point...
	8:35pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Austin Rich @8:31 Bob Rafelson directed. Jack Nicholson is an overnight DJ on a New Jersey(?) station with a heap of emotional problems. Not a great movie, but all thinks considered, worth a visit.
	8:35pm Imaginos: ↳ postconsumer @8:34 The tape sounds pretty amazing
	8:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @8:34 It's clear to me. I think you're talking a little fast, but that's how you talked.
	8:35pm Krys O.: ↳ Imaginos @8:33 I was just talking about 200 Motels. I mentioned how Flo & Eddie are the best part of the movie, IMO.
	8:36pm Imaginos: ↳ Krys O. @8:35 My favorite part was when Jeff was stealing the room.
	8:37pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Krys O. @8:35 I saw 200 Motels at the drive-in by my house when it came out.
	8:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "With or Without You" by "U2" When I started getting into D&D, one my the gents I played with was VERY into U2, and we would listen to "Unforgettable Fire" while we would game. That was the most "adult" I ever felt, when I was a kid.
	8:38pm Krys O.: ↳ Franco Twinkie @8:37 I can imagine folks catching glimpses of Keith Moon as a nun as they drive by the drive-in.
	8:39pm Krys O.: ↳ Imaginos @8:36 Ha!
	8:39pm postconsumer: my neighbor friends tried to teach me to play D&D. You can imagine my response... 😆 my son is getting into it now and I'm kind of excited to play it with him.
	8:40pm postconsumer: ↳ Imaginos @8:35 thanks Austin and Imaginos. Wasn't sure if I could trust my ears, at this point
	8:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @8:39 My parents were hippies, and they were even worried about what D&D might do to us kids. It was a meme to worry about D&D in those days.
	8:41pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Krys O. @8:38 Ha! It was double-bill with a soft core porn movie, so casual viewers in the neighborhood were use to seen much racier stuff.
	8:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ Franco Twinkie @8:41 There was an episode of Joe Dante's podcast, where all the guests were talking about driving past drive-in's when you were bored, in the event you would catch something "exciting" as you drove by.
	8:43pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @8:41 Those worries gave us the classic line "I'm attacking the darkness!"
	8:43pm postconsumer: There were all of those fears, plus the fact that I'd never seen a game like that before... I'm still pretty slow, when it comes to games like that. Jen and Henry play a couple different games and have tried to show me how. It's so complex, the rules, the gameplay, etc. I usually end up just annoying them by how stupid I seem...
	8:44pm Imaginos: One word for all D&D fans. Gazebo.
	8:44pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Austin Rich @8:42 We just rode our bikes in the exit, and hung out by the back fence until the drive-in police kicked us out.
	8:45pm Krys O.: Drive-In Police! LOL!
	8:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Never Let Me Down Again" by "Depeche Mode" Seeing Depeche Mode on their "Songs of Faith and Devotion" tour was a HUGE DEAL for me, as it was one of the first shows I paid for, with money I made at my job, and made the choice to see THEM, on my own. It was a great show! I'm not a huge fan now, but I have a soft spot for a LOT of their songs, still.
	8:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ Franco Twinkie @8:44 That's amazing. That needs to be in a movie!
	8:47pm Austin Rich: Speaking of D&D: I was just playing Live D&D on the radio with Big City Orchestra on Sunday. It was pretty fun! Hadn't done that in YEARS.
	8:47pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @8:46 A sequel to Dead End Drivein, maybe?
	8:48pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Austin Rich @8:46 Really! They were two old guys in long white coats with a red stripe across the back. Now, I feel sorry for them that they had to do such a thankless job.
	8:48pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:45 I was a fan of Depeche Mode and the Cure from the early days for both bands. Oddly enough I didn't begrudge them the fame that came to them afterward. I still loved the music. I never saw DM live. I saw The Cure at the Ritz in NYC in 1981 just before I went to Paris, and before college and WFMU, etc.
	8:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @8:47 Could be! The first movie I remember seeing was Raiders of The Lost Ark at the Drive In.
	8:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:48 Never saw the Cure! That's awesome. And that's a good time to see them, too!
	8:50pm Austin Rich: I had some friends who had to hide their music from their parents. I remember thinking that was a lot of work.
	8:51pm postconsumer: The Cure were my first concert, after leaving home. It was just ok. I'm a fan, but somehow the show left me cold
	8:51pm Krys O.: I've mentioned it before, but my mom who was Polish Catholic (a bit different from plain old RC) thought that Mr. Spock looked like Satan. She yelled at my brother and me when we watched OG ST on TV.
	8:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:51 Oh wow! That's intense.
	8:52pm Krys O.: "What are you thinking?!" would be a good name of a show.
	8:53pm Krys O.: ↳ postconsumer @8:51 I think you can find a video on YouTube of the Ritz show I was at. It's kind of grainy and dark.
	8:54pm Krys O.: That's what WFMU is all about. Thanks, Jon! Well done.
	8:54pm Franco Twinkie: I've really enjoyed the show, been a chronic over sharer myself. Thanks Postconsumer.
	8:54pm postconsumer: I'm taking one for the team, currently, watching Gilmore Girls with Jen. It's not a great show, and I chafe at the values on display, often, but it's not bad. If you've ever seen it, the daughter's christian friend is a very familiar scenario, to me...
	8:55pm Austin Rich: This was a lot of fun, Jon! Thanks for sharing. I love this kind of thing... and I'm sort of doing something similar next show...
	8:55pm postconsumer: So glad to have left that all behind.
	8:55pm postconsumer: Thanks EVERYONE! I appreciate you holding my hand as it unspooled
	8:55pm Austin Rich: I think about This Pixies song a lot, too. Thanks Jon!
	8:56pm Krys O.: ↳ postconsumer @8:54 I watched it when it was on. It has it's failings, but I enjoyed it overall, especially the quirky characters.
	8:56pm postconsumer: Thanks for board operating, Krys, I don't think I could do this without you.
	8:56pm Krys O.: I watched My So Called Life too.
	8:57pm Krys O.: ↳ postconsumer @8:56 Always a pleasure.
	8:57pm postconsumer: ↳ Krys O. @8:56 I've been meaning to check that out good?
	8:58pm Krys O.: ↳ postconsumer @8:57 Yes, very good. And I used to watch DeGrassi.
	8:58pm Krys O.: I'm Generation Jones. We're the proto-Gen Xers.
	8:58pm postconsumer: thanks again, everybody!

	8:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @8:39 My parents were hippies, and they were even worried about what D&D might do to us kids. It was a meme to worry about D&D in those days.
	8:41pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Krys O. @8:38 Ha! It was double-bill with a soft core porn movie, so casual viewers in the neighborhood were use to seen much racier stuff.
	8:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ Franco Twinkie @8:41 There was an episode of Joe Dante's podcast, where all the guests were talking about driving past drive-in's when you were bored, in the event you would catch something "exciting" as you drove by.
	8:43pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @8:41 Those worries gave us the classic line "I'm attacking the darkness!"
	8:43pm postconsumer: There were all of those fears, plus the fact that I'd never seen a game like that before... I'm still pretty slow, when it comes to games like that. Jen and Henry play a couple different games and have tried to show me how. It's so complex, the rules, the gameplay, etc. I usually end up just annoying them by how stupid I seem...
	8:44pm Imaginos: One word for all D&D fans. Gazebo.
	8:44pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Austin Rich @8:42 We just rode our bikes in the exit, and hung out by the back fence until the drive-in police kicked us out.
	8:45pm Krys O.: Drive-In Police! LOL!
	8:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Never Let Me Down Again" by "Depeche Mode" Seeing Depeche Mode on their "Songs of Faith and Devotion" tour was a HUGE DEAL for me, as it was one of the first shows I paid for, with money I made at my job, and made the choice to see THEM, on my own. It was a great show! I'm not a huge fan now, but I have a soft spot for a LOT of their songs, still.
	8:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ Franco Twinkie @8:44 That's amazing. That needs to be in a movie!
	8:47pm Austin Rich: Speaking of D&D: I was just playing Live D&D on the radio with Big City Orchestra on Sunday. It was pretty fun! Hadn't done that in YEARS.
	8:47pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @8:46 A sequel to Dead End Drivein, maybe?
	8:48pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Austin Rich @8:46 Really! They were two old guys in long white coats with a red stripe across the back. Now, I feel sorry for them that they had to do such a thankless job.
	8:48pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:45 I was a fan of Depeche Mode and the Cure from the early days for both bands. Oddly enough I didn't begrudge them the fame that came to them afterward. I still loved the music. I never saw DM live. I saw The Cure at the Ritz in NYC in 1981 just before I went to Paris, and before college and WFMU, etc.
	8:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @8:47 Could be! The first movie I remember seeing was Raiders of The Lost Ark at the Drive In.
	8:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:48 Never saw the Cure! That's awesome. And that's a good time to see them, too!
	8:50pm Austin Rich: I had some friends who had to hide their music from their parents. I remember thinking that was a lot of work.
	8:51pm postconsumer: The Cure were my first concert, after leaving home. It was just ok. I'm a fan, but somehow the show left me cold
	8:51pm Krys O.: I've mentioned it before, but my mom who was Polish Catholic (a bit different from plain old RC) thought that Mr. Spock looked like Satan. She yelled at my brother and me when we watched OG ST on TV.
	8:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:51 Oh wow! That's intense.
	8:52pm Krys O.: "What are you thinking?!" would be a good name of a show.
	8:53pm Krys O.: ↳ postconsumer @8:51 I think you can find a video on YouTube of the Ritz show I was at. It's kind of grainy and dark.
	8:54pm Krys O.: That's what WFMU is all about. Thanks, Jon! Well done.
	8:54pm Franco Twinkie: I've really enjoyed the show, been a chronic over sharer myself. Thanks Postconsumer.
	8:54pm postconsumer: I'm taking one for the team, currently, watching Gilmore Girls with Jen. It's not a great show, and I chafe at the values on display, often, but it's not bad. If you've ever seen it, the daughter's christian friend is a very familiar scenario, to me...
	8:55pm Austin Rich: This was a lot of fun, Jon! Thanks for sharing. I love this kind of thing... and I'm sort of doing something similar next show...
	8:55pm postconsumer: So glad to have left that all behind.
	8:55pm postconsumer: Thanks EVERYONE! I appreciate you holding my hand as it unspooled
	8:55pm Austin Rich: I think about This Pixies song a lot, too. Thanks Jon!
	8:56pm Krys O.: ↳ postconsumer @8:54 I watched it when it was on. It has it's failings, but I enjoyed it overall, especially the quirky characters.
	8:56pm postconsumer: Thanks for board operating, Krys, I don't think I could do this without you.
	8:56pm Krys O.: I watched My So Called Life too.
	8:57pm Krys O.: ↳ postconsumer @8:56 Always a pleasure.
	8:57pm postconsumer: ↳ Krys O. @8:56 I've been meaning to check that out good?
	8:58pm Krys O.: ↳ postconsumer @8:57 Yes, very good. And I used to watch DeGrassi.
	8:58pm Krys O.: I'm Generation Jones. We're the proto-Gen Xers.
	8:58pm postconsumer: thanks again, everybody!
