	4:06pm Joe from Hideaway: Dr. Jeff OK?
	4:08pm Mr Fab: ↳ Joe from Hideaway @4:06 hi joe, technical issues. his computer's all kerlfooey.
	4:09pm Arvo Zylo: And Away We Go!
	👻 4:09pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Mr Fab @4:08 Glad to hear he's ok
	4:09pm Mr Fab: I'll try to add artist/track names later. But I'm at the office now...
	4:10pm Joe from Hideaway: ↳ Mr Fab @4:08 Thanks
	4:11pm Aitch: What's up Doc? Hey Fab and crew
	👻 4:12pm Candy-O'67: Hey Aitch, Mr. Fab, Arvo Zylo, Austin!
	4:13pm Mr Fab: Yo Aitch! Arvo's at the controls, starting off feelin kinda groovy, picking up from GG's show. Things are gonna get a bit crazy later.
	4:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ Candy-O'67 @4:12 Howdy, Candy-O'67!
	4:16pm Arvo Zylo: Adam Ant – Friend or Foe – Friend or Foe – 1982 - CBS – Rudimentary Peni – In Crematorium Flame – Archaic – 2004 - Outer Himalayan Records The Alarm Clocks – Marie – The Time Has Come – 2006 – Norton Records – Comment: Formed in Parma, Ohio, 1965 The Troggs – Night of The Long Grass – 1967 - The Best of The Troggs - Parlophone Johnny Mann Singers – Love Is All Around – This Guy’s In Love With You, The Look of Love – 1968 – Liberty Comment: Troggs Cover Les Miladys – Sugar Town – Les Miladys – 1967 – DSP – Comment: From Canada, written by Lee Hazlewood
	4:17pm Arvo Zylo: Hi All! Thanks for tuning in!
	4:18pm Arvo Zylo: Sugar Town is just about the happiest song I know of. Even when it's sung in Korean.
	4:18pm Aitch: ↳ Mr Fab @4:13 Crazy you say? On Sheena's??
	4:19pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Aitch @4:18 Go crazy? Don't mind if I do!
	4:29pm Arvo Zylo: Marion Maerz – I Go To Sleep – Er Is Wieder Da – 1967 – Bear Family Records – Comment: German Artist, Song Written by Ray Davies of The Kinks Nina Simone – Either Way I Lose – Wild Is The Wind – 1966 - Phillips Sandy Posey – Shattered - Single Girl – 1966 - MGM Records – Comment: Posey had a short career by choice, avoiding the limelight, but did do back up vocals for Elvis, among other things. The Lollipops – Naked When You Come – The Complete – 1966 – Polydor – Comment: From Denmark Of The Wand & The Moon – Whispers of The Past – Your Love Can’t Hold This Wreath of Sorrow – 2021 – Tesco Distribution – Comment: Also from Denmark
	4:30pm Arvo Zylo: This set has some of my very favorite music included. I have Sandy Posey framed on my wall.
	4:32pm Mr Fab: ↳ Aitch @4:18 it's a little unorthodox, I know. But we'll return to our usual Top 40/conservative talk/Modern Country Hits format later.
	4:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @4:32 "And here's more reasons why AI hosted programming on Internet radio is sending our country to hell in a handbasket. As my idol Rush Limbaugh used to say..."
	4:35pm Aitch: ↳ Mr Fab @4:32 Like Dr Jeff?
	4:39pm Mr Fab: hearing Billie Holiday just makes me sad, as I ponder: where are the great female jazz/torch singers? loved Amy Winehouse, but well, we know how that worked out...
	4:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @4:39 I was sort of hoping she would be the beginning of a new batch, but there hasn't really been anyone to try and do that. Pop music is sort of in a different place, where women in hip hop seems to have rose in prominence. I suspect torch singers will come back, someday.
	4:45pm Mr Fab: never cared for James Taylor, and his creepy serial-killer voice. But this great.
	4:46pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @4:42 yeah she was so famous and successful. But hasn't influenced any young singers? if she has, I haven't heard them.
	4:47pm Jeff K.: Loud 'n CLEAR - in JeffCO, MO. at the Sanitarium! Among other West County locations! WELCOME! 💜🎶
	4:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @4:46 Pop music HAS sort of fractured, in a weird way, where genres that used to command a lot of attention have sort of atrophied, and now, every kind of music has a small but dedicated fanbase. So there might be some pop singers doing torch song type songs, but they might be regional, or have a very small fanbase so they don't get heard outside their scene.
	4:53pm Arvo Zylo: Billie Holiday – I’ll Be Seeing You – Billie Holiday – 1959 – Verve The Seven Sensational Angels – So Many Years – Deep Gospel Soul: Faithful Endurance – 1982 – Coastal Recordings The Isley Brothers – Fire & Rain – Givin’ It Back – 1971 – Polydor Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show – Sylvia’s Mother – Doctor Hook – 1972 - CBS Mick Jagger – Handsome Molly – Wandering Spirit – 1993 - Atlantic Burl Ives – The Riddle Song – The Wayfaring Stranger – 1941 – Columbia
	👻 4:54pm Candy-O'67: Loved that Isley Brothers tube!
	4:56pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Mr Fab @4:39 I give a lot of credit to Mark Ronson for Amy Winehouse's success. It is tragic that someone like Aretha Franklin wouldn't make it because of her looks these days. I do have to mention Sharon Jones, though, she was a prison guard at a federal penitentiary, and made it late in life. Quite impressive. Loved seeing her live, and with guest appearance by Syl Johnson!
	4:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo Zylo @4:56 I never saw her, but I did love those Sharon Jones tunes. She was great!
	👻 4:57pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Arvo Zylo @4:56 I didn't get to see Sharon Jones either. Big fan!
	4:57pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Jeff K. @4:47 Hi! Right on! I hope there are some decent accommodations there in the bughouse!
	4:58pm Mr Fab: Hell, yeah! Was so lucky I saw Sharon Jones once. Another WAY too early death.
	4:58pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Mr Fab @4:45 Thanks, I like the James Taylor version enough, even after hearing it a million times, but that cover is great!
	5:00pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Austin Rich @4:33 I wanted to subvert AI, some of this is also original material. You might recall me working on a time travel set...
	5:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo Zylo @5:00 I do! It's interesting to this idea in another form.
	5:02pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Candy-O'67 @4:57 She was backed by the Dap-Kings, as was Amy Winehouse. They are great in general!
	5:10pm Arvo Zylo: Belle Baker – My Sin – Belle Baker – 1929 - Jazum The Boswell Sisters – Shout, Sister, Shout! – Shout, Sister, Shout! - 1931 – Living Era Jack Starr – Halloween Party – Born Petrified – 1988 – Norton Records – Comment: Recorded between 1958-1968 in a bathroom, partially for homemade horror movies. Herbi Silvers & His Orchestra – So Attracted To You – So Attracted To You/No More Sunshine - 1960 – Sutter – Comment: Featuring Dr. Samuel J. Hoffmann on theremin. Coco Rosie – Lyla - La Maison De Mon Rêve – 2004 – Touch And Go Marian Montgomery – Why Can’t You Behave? - That Lady From Natchez – 1997 – Audiophile – Comment: Born in Mississippi in 1934, Montgomery moved to England in 1965 and sang in clubs until her death. This is from her last proper studio album.
	5:12pm Arvo Zylo: Coco Rosie are another odd success story. Estranged Native American sisters reconvened to record an album in their bathroom, on answering machine messages, with children's toys and a piano, and got signed to a considerably large independent label based on an extremely rough demo.
	5:17pm Austin Rich: Seeing the Butthole Surfers as a young lad really broke my head open in a good way. I'd never seen anything that was so completely intense and confrontational as their stage show. I've seen crazier since then, but for a young lad... they were wild!
	5:19pm Austin Rich: "Don't Fuck Around With Love" is a classic tune! Hell yeah.
	5:27pm Mr Fab: must have seen the BH Surfers (as the LA Times used to call them) at least 5 times..? A multi-media mind-blower like nothing else. Their albums were also great, but really, in a very different kind of way. like Negativland in how they approach the stage and the studio from two different directions, instead of just trotting out the songs the way they sound on the albums.
	5:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @5:27 Totally! I very much agree.
	5:31pm Arvo Zylo: Mr. Blue from 1932 had a few too many. Butthole Surfers – Goofy's Concern – Independent Worm Saloon – 1993 - Capitol The Blenders – Don't Fuck Around With Love – Eat to The Beat, The Dirtiest of Them Dirty Blues – 1973 – Bear Family Harry Nilsson – You're Breaking My Heart – Son of Schmilsson – 1972 – RCA Victor Millie Jackson – Fuck You Symphony – Live and Uncensored – 1979 - Polydor
	5:33pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Mr Fab @5:27 I sadly never got to see them. Their reunion show was on a day I had to work, and also conflicted with a Faust show! I've heard stories, and listened to a few live recordings. I recall a montage of exploding heads for part of the video backdrop too...
	5:33pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Austin Rich @5:19 I've always wanted to play some of this stuff on the radio, being free from the FCC opens up a whole new world, at the expense of seeming juvenile, but I can't help it. It's fun.
	5:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo Zylo @5:33 No complaints here. It's a good set, in my mind.
	5:35pm Mr Fab: ↳ Arvo Zylo @5:33 it's one reason why I wanted to start an on-line station, instead of being on the air - it seemed like not many were really taking advantage of internet radio as a new medium.
	5:41pm Austin Rich: For a long time, I was bone-headedly attracted to the old-idea of radio, since I was that kid that had his mind blown by turning the dial. But I realize that the kids who are having that experience are having it online, and toiling in terrestrial radio was never gonna reach the kids of today, the way old radio reached me. Besides: Sheena's has better style than most of the terrestrial stations I've been at.
	5:43pm Arvo Zylo: GG Allin & The Criminal Quartet – Fuck Authority – Carnival of Excess – 1995 - TPOS Feederz – Fuck You – Ever Feel Like Killing Your Boss? – 1984 – Broken Rekids Crass – What The Fuck? - Penis Envy – 1981 – Crass Records Sagat – Fuk Dat (Raw Mix) – Fuk Dat – 1993 – FFRR – Comment: Featuring a sample of 'Give The People What They Want' performed by The O' Jays. BO$$ - I Don't Give A Fuck – Born Gangstaz – 1993 – Columbia – Comment: “In 1994, [Lichelle] Laws [AKA BO$$] was interviewed by a reporter from The Wall Street Journal, who revealed that she grew up in a middle-class neighborhood (on the West Side, Detroit), studied ballet and piano, and attended Catholic private school (where she was a cheerleader), before majoring in business for two years at Oakland University.[3][2][7][8] Laws had never attempted to disguise the truth of her upbringing; the intro of her 1993 album Born Gangstaz, "Intro: A Call From Mom", has her mother Lillie describe her as "a young lady who was brought up through Catholic school for 12 years; and dance schools, tap dance, jazz, piano lessons and all of that; plus, you went to college for three years...."[9] "The album is, in fact, bracketed with a mockery of her rearing; phone messages from mama and papa particularizing a privileged suburban upbringing (Catholic-school, piano-playing, tap-dancing)" belying the record's "unyielding vulgarity and embroidered aggression" with a "brilliant... self-mocking disclaimer". Def Jef, who produced the album and suggested the inclusion of Laws's parents, observed "I can't believe none of the reviews saw the irony of that. No one did!"
	5:45pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @5:41 Thanks! i was sad to see my old stomping ground college station has gaps in their programming now. They cut to a stream. As long as I can remember they had 24/7 live DJs. Guess they can't get enough college kids interested in radio..?
	5:46pm Mr Fab: Sagat – Fuk Dat. Ha, i had this 12"! I'd forgotten about this song. Funny stuff, and an ill groove.
	5:47pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Mr Fab @5:46 I had it on cassette! I was 12 years old!
	5:47pm Arvo Zylo: Also had BO$$ on cassette when it came out...
	5:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @5:45 We ran into that problem at KPSU. When I started on staff, there were LARGE gaps in the schedule, and I was astonished. When I took over as Programming Director, I kept trying to fill the schedule, but it was an uphill battle. I never quite got a full house, so to speak.
	5:50pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Austin Rich @5:48 I left WLUW in 2014, and they had a high turnover rate, but WZRD went on strike and battled the university, got a union, and probably still has staff issues, but they at least survived some sort of corporate takeover, whereas with WLUW, the university took over and fired everybody in 2009, just so that they can broadcast basketball games or something. I'm not sure what it was about, but it was not as fun after that.
	5:51pm Aitch: I think he does give AF, he seems rather tense?
	5:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo Zylo @5:50 Sports was our problem, too. There was a lot of pressure to cut a bunch of our regular shows so Football could make regular appearances. It was a mess.
	5:52pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Aitch @5:51 Glad you're still here! I figured everyone ran screaming.
	5:53pm Aitch: ↳ Arvo Zylo @5:52 I'm not easily frightened
	5:55pm Mr Fab: ↳ Aitch @5:51 that time when Sonic Youth got funky.
	5:55pm Arvo Zylo: Sonic Youth & Cypress Hill - I Love You Mary Jane PIG – Hopelessly Devoted To You (Grease)
	5:57pm Aitch: I designed the fit-out of an early Internet-only station over here in 2000. BigFatRadio. Massive talent pool, but died as no-one had the bandwidth for it to work properly so it died in less than a year. Not long after that discovered EastVillage Radio and listened to that until its death about 10 years later/ago
	5:57pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Mr Fab @5:55 DJ Muggs is incredible, he does amazing work with samples too. This combo was a nice touch, for a soundtrack that comprised rap/rock collaborations (Judgement Night)
	5:58pm Hugo (NL): 🤩 great stuff
	5:59pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Hugo (NL) @5:58 Thanks Hugo! One more hour to go!
	6:00pm Mr Fab: ↳ Aitch @5:57 yeah, i remember when the music biz realized what was happening And started demanding thousands of monies from internet radio. a number of them went under. They couldn't afford it. It's one reason why we need fund-raisers.
	6:02pm Arvo Zylo: Hope you guys like my station ID!
	6:06pm Mr Fab: ↳ Arvo Zylo @6:02 Twin Peaks! Will drop it into the Sheena's stream.
	6:10pm Arvo Zylo: PALEFACE – State of Denial Kilslug – On The Rise Drunks with Guns – Punched In The Head
	6:10pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Mr Fab @6:06 Wicked!
	6:10pm Aitch: ↳ Mr Fab @6:00 EVR died when it hit 1 million streams a month and had to start paying. They always spoke of WFMU in hushed tones, what dragged me over.
	6:12pm Aitch: ↳ Mr Fab @6:00 Likewise why I'm happy to pay to keep the vibe alive and no ads!!!!!!
	6:13pm Arvo Zylo: I listened to WFMU archives on Real Player, and still think it's great that archives don't expire. Many radio stations still only keep their archives for a couple weeks. I remember WZRD for many years was only streaming because some guy plugged a cable into his boom box and made a stream on his own...
	6:18pm Mr Fab: Flannery hath returned! "New Flanland" is resuming tonight after a two-month break.
	6:20pm Arvo Zylo: Alice Cooper – Vicious Rumours Mephiskapheles – Demon Weed F.M. Einheit – Io / Typhon I
	6:25pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Mr Fab @6:18 A Good Man Is Hard To Find!
	6:31pm Arvo Zylo: Sweep The Leg Johnny – The Fine Wrinkles; We Have All of Them THE THE – 1 WANT 2 B U Jesu (featuring Jarboe) – Storm Comin' On
	6:39pm WR: Hi Arvo Zylo, Mr Fab and Aitch. Have been listening but my focus has been on the hurricane that just landed SW of New Orleans. Besides being fascinated by hurricanes, I have family and friends in New Orleans.
	6:40pm Mr Fab: Ok, now I want to do a DJ set of: -The The – “I WANT 2 B U” -The Cure “Why Can’t I Be You”? -The Fixx “Are We Ourselves?”
	6:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @6:40 Is there room for The Wipers, "I Don't Know What I Am" after The Fixx?
	6:42pm Mr Fab: ↳ WR @6:39 Daaaamn, yeah, just saw pictures of a nearly empty Bourbon Street. You don’t see that too often.
	6:42pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @6:41 Yes!
	6:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @6:42 Probably Harry Nilsson's, "I Yam What I Yam" from the Popeye Soundtrack, after that?
	6:45pm Arvo Zylo: Adult. & Planet B – Release Me Just Mustard – In Shade Prefuse 73 (featuring Adron) – The Only Guitar To Die Alone
	6:51pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Austin Rich @6:41 You Am I - We Hardly Knew You Ministry - Just One Fix Black Flag - Fix Me Black Pus - I'll Come When I Can
	6:51pm Arvo Zylo: Supersilent – 4.2
	6:53pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Austin Rich @6:44 Frank Zappa - You Are What You Is (I don't like Frank Zappa though)
	6:54pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ WR @6:39 Thank you for listening. I'm sorry about your stress. I have a few friends out there too.
	6:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo Zylo @6:53 He's not for everyone. With hindsight, I wonder how much of what I liked about early Zappa was actually The Mothers (the band), and he was just along for the ride. His solo stuff seems lacking to me.
	6:56pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Austin Rich @6:54 Lumpy Gravy is still pretty golden, though. I might give another assessment to the stuff with The Mothers. But currently, I think of Frank Zappa as a gateway, not really a stopping point.
	6:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo Zylo @6:56 I do like that Lumpy Gravy. But who doesn't?
	7:00pm Arvo Zylo: Thanks all!!
	7:01pm Aitch: Thanks AZ!
	7:01pm WR: Thanks for making it a party
	7:01pm Arvo Zylo: Good times!

	4:53pm Arvo Zylo: Billie Holiday – I’ll Be Seeing You – Billie Holiday – 1959 – Verve The Seven Sensational Angels – So Many Years – Deep Gospel Soul: Faithful Endurance – 1982 – Coastal Recordings The Isley Brothers – Fire & Rain – Givin’ It Back – 1971 – Polydor Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show – Sylvia’s Mother – Doctor Hook – 1972 - CBS Mick Jagger – Handsome Molly – Wandering Spirit – 1993 - Atlantic Burl Ives – The Riddle Song – The Wayfaring Stranger – 1941 – Columbia
	👻 4:54pm Candy-O'67: Loved that Isley Brothers tube!
	4:56pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Mr Fab @4:39 I give a lot of credit to Mark Ronson for Amy Winehouse's success. It is tragic that someone like Aretha Franklin wouldn't make it because of her looks these days. I do have to mention Sharon Jones, though, she was a prison guard at a federal penitentiary, and made it late in life. Quite impressive. Loved seeing her live, and with guest appearance by Syl Johnson!
	4:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo Zylo @4:56 I never saw her, but I did love those Sharon Jones tunes. She was great!
	👻 4:57pm Candy-O'67: ↳ Arvo Zylo @4:56 I didn't get to see Sharon Jones either. Big fan!
	4:57pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Jeff K. @4:47 Hi! Right on! I hope there are some decent accommodations there in the bughouse!
	4:58pm Mr Fab: Hell, yeah! Was so lucky I saw Sharon Jones once. Another WAY too early death.
	4:58pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Mr Fab @4:45 Thanks, I like the James Taylor version enough, even after hearing it a million times, but that cover is great!
	5:00pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Austin Rich @4:33 I wanted to subvert AI, some of this is also original material. You might recall me working on a time travel set...
	5:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo Zylo @5:00 I do! It's interesting to this idea in another form.
	5:02pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Candy-O'67 @4:57 She was backed by the Dap-Kings, as was Amy Winehouse. They are great in general!
	5:10pm Arvo Zylo: Belle Baker – My Sin – Belle Baker – 1929 - Jazum The Boswell Sisters – Shout, Sister, Shout! – Shout, Sister, Shout! - 1931 – Living Era Jack Starr – Halloween Party – Born Petrified – 1988 – Norton Records – Comment: Recorded between 1958-1968 in a bathroom, partially for homemade horror movies. Herbi Silvers & His Orchestra – So Attracted To You – So Attracted To You/No More Sunshine - 1960 – Sutter – Comment: Featuring Dr. Samuel J. Hoffmann on theremin. Coco Rosie – Lyla - La Maison De Mon Rêve – 2004 – Touch And Go Marian Montgomery – Why Can’t You Behave? - That Lady From Natchez – 1997 – Audiophile – Comment: Born in Mississippi in 1934, Montgomery moved to England in 1965 and sang in clubs until her death. This is from her last proper studio album.
	5:12pm Arvo Zylo: Coco Rosie are another odd success story. Estranged Native American sisters reconvened to record an album in their bathroom, on answering machine messages, with children's toys and a piano, and got signed to a considerably large independent label based on an extremely rough demo.
	5:17pm Austin Rich: Seeing the Butthole Surfers as a young lad really broke my head open in a good way. I'd never seen anything that was so completely intense and confrontational as their stage show. I've seen crazier since then, but for a young lad... they were wild!
	5:19pm Austin Rich: "Don't Fuck Around With Love" is a classic tune! Hell yeah.
	5:27pm Mr Fab: must have seen the BH Surfers (as the LA Times used to call them) at least 5 times..? A multi-media mind-blower like nothing else. Their albums were also great, but really, in a very different kind of way. like Negativland in how they approach the stage and the studio from two different directions, instead of just trotting out the songs the way they sound on the albums.
	5:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @5:27 Totally! I very much agree.
	5:31pm Arvo Zylo: Mr. Blue from 1932 had a few too many. Butthole Surfers – Goofy's Concern – Independent Worm Saloon – 1993 - Capitol The Blenders – Don't Fuck Around With Love – Eat to The Beat, The Dirtiest of Them Dirty Blues – 1973 – Bear Family Harry Nilsson – You're Breaking My Heart – Son of Schmilsson – 1972 – RCA Victor Millie Jackson – Fuck You Symphony – Live and Uncensored – 1979 - Polydor
	5:33pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Mr Fab @5:27 I sadly never got to see them. Their reunion show was on a day I had to work, and also conflicted with a Faust show! I've heard stories, and listened to a few live recordings. I recall a montage of exploding heads for part of the video backdrop too...
	5:33pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Austin Rich @5:19 I've always wanted to play some of this stuff on the radio, being free from the FCC opens up a whole new world, at the expense of seeming juvenile, but I can't help it. It's fun.
	5:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo Zylo @5:33 No complaints here. It's a good set, in my mind.
	5:35pm Mr Fab: ↳ Arvo Zylo @5:33 it's one reason why I wanted to start an on-line station, instead of being on the air - it seemed like not many were really taking advantage of internet radio as a new medium.
	5:41pm Austin Rich: For a long time, I was bone-headedly attracted to the old-idea of radio, since I was that kid that had his mind blown by turning the dial. But I realize that the kids who are having that experience are having it online, and toiling in terrestrial radio was never gonna reach the kids of today, the way old radio reached me. Besides: Sheena's has better style than most of the terrestrial stations I've been at.
	5:43pm Arvo Zylo: GG Allin & The Criminal Quartet – Fuck Authority – Carnival of Excess – 1995 - TPOS Feederz – Fuck You – Ever Feel Like Killing Your Boss? – 1984 – Broken Rekids Crass – What The Fuck? - Penis Envy – 1981 – Crass Records Sagat – Fuk Dat (Raw Mix) – Fuk Dat – 1993 – FFRR – Comment: Featuring a sample of 'Give The People What They Want' performed by The O' Jays. BO$$ - I Don't Give A Fuck – Born Gangstaz – 1993 – Columbia – Comment: “In 1994, [Lichelle] Laws [AKA BO$$] was interviewed by a reporter from The Wall Street Journal, who revealed that she grew up in a middle-class neighborhood (on the West Side, Detroit), studied ballet and piano, and attended Catholic private school (where she was a cheerleader), before majoring in business for two years at Oakland University.[3][2][7][8] Laws had never attempted to disguise the truth of her upbringing; the intro of her 1993 album Born Gangstaz, "Intro: A Call From Mom", has her mother Lillie describe her as "a young lady who was brought up through Catholic school for 12 years; and dance schools, tap dance, jazz, piano lessons and all of that; plus, you went to college for three years...."[9] "The album is, in fact, bracketed with a mockery of her rearing; phone messages from mama and papa particularizing a privileged suburban upbringing (Catholic-school, piano-playing, tap-dancing)" belying the record's "unyielding vulgarity and embroidered aggression" with a "brilliant... self-mocking disclaimer". Def Jef, who produced the album and suggested the inclusion of Laws's parents, observed "I can't believe none of the reviews saw the irony of that. No one did!"
	5:45pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @5:41 Thanks! i was sad to see my old stomping ground college station has gaps in their programming now. They cut to a stream. As long as I can remember they had 24/7 live DJs. Guess they can't get enough college kids interested in radio..?
	5:46pm Mr Fab: Sagat – Fuk Dat. Ha, i had this 12"! I'd forgotten about this song. Funny stuff, and an ill groove.
	5:47pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Mr Fab @5:46 I had it on cassette! I was 12 years old!
	5:47pm Arvo Zylo: Also had BO$$ on cassette when it came out...
	5:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @5:45 We ran into that problem at KPSU. When I started on staff, there were LARGE gaps in the schedule, and I was astonished. When I took over as Programming Director, I kept trying to fill the schedule, but it was an uphill battle. I never quite got a full house, so to speak.
	5:50pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Austin Rich @5:48 I left WLUW in 2014, and they had a high turnover rate, but WZRD went on strike and battled the university, got a union, and probably still has staff issues, but they at least survived some sort of corporate takeover, whereas with WLUW, the university took over and fired everybody in 2009, just so that they can broadcast basketball games or something. I'm not sure what it was about, but it was not as fun after that.
	5:51pm Aitch: I think he does give AF, he seems rather tense?
	5:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo Zylo @5:50 Sports was our problem, too. There was a lot of pressure to cut a bunch of our regular shows so Football could make regular appearances. It was a mess.
	5:52pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Aitch @5:51 Glad you're still here! I figured everyone ran screaming.
	5:53pm Aitch: ↳ Arvo Zylo @5:52 I'm not easily frightened
	5:55pm Mr Fab: ↳ Aitch @5:51 that time when Sonic Youth got funky.
	5:55pm Arvo Zylo: Sonic Youth & Cypress Hill - I Love You Mary Jane PIG – Hopelessly Devoted To You (Grease)
	5:57pm Aitch: I designed the fit-out of an early Internet-only station over here in 2000. BigFatRadio. Massive talent pool, but died as no-one had the bandwidth for it to work properly so it died in less than a year. Not long after that discovered EastVillage Radio and listened to that until its death about 10 years later/ago
	5:57pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Mr Fab @5:55 DJ Muggs is incredible, he does amazing work with samples too. This combo was a nice touch, for a soundtrack that comprised rap/rock collaborations (Judgement Night)
	5:58pm Hugo (NL): 🤩 great stuff
	5:59pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Hugo (NL) @5:58 Thanks Hugo! One more hour to go!
	6:00pm Mr Fab: ↳ Aitch @5:57 yeah, i remember when the music biz realized what was happening And started demanding thousands of monies from internet radio. a number of them went under. They couldn't afford it. It's one reason why we need fund-raisers.
	6:02pm Arvo Zylo: Hope you guys like my station ID!
	6:06pm Mr Fab: ↳ Arvo Zylo @6:02 Twin Peaks! Will drop it into the Sheena's stream.
	6:10pm Arvo Zylo: PALEFACE – State of Denial Kilslug – On The Rise Drunks with Guns – Punched In The Head
	6:10pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Mr Fab @6:06 Wicked!
	6:10pm Aitch: ↳ Mr Fab @6:00 EVR died when it hit 1 million streams a month and had to start paying. They always spoke of WFMU in hushed tones, what dragged me over.
	6:12pm Aitch: ↳ Mr Fab @6:00 Likewise why I'm happy to pay to keep the vibe alive and no ads!!!!!!
	6:13pm Arvo Zylo: I listened to WFMU archives on Real Player, and still think it's great that archives don't expire. Many radio stations still only keep their archives for a couple weeks. I remember WZRD for many years was only streaming because some guy plugged a cable into his boom box and made a stream on his own...
	6:18pm Mr Fab: Flannery hath returned! "New Flanland" is resuming tonight after a two-month break.
	6:20pm Arvo Zylo: Alice Cooper – Vicious Rumours Mephiskapheles – Demon Weed F.M. Einheit – Io / Typhon I
	6:25pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Mr Fab @6:18 A Good Man Is Hard To Find!
	6:31pm Arvo Zylo: Sweep The Leg Johnny – The Fine Wrinkles; We Have All of Them THE THE – 1 WANT 2 B U Jesu (featuring Jarboe) – Storm Comin' On
	6:39pm WR: Hi Arvo Zylo, Mr Fab and Aitch. Have been listening but my focus has been on the hurricane that just landed SW of New Orleans. Besides being fascinated by hurricanes, I have family and friends in New Orleans.
	6:40pm Mr Fab: Ok, now I want to do a DJ set of: -The The – “I WANT 2 B U” -The Cure “Why Can’t I Be You”? -The Fixx “Are We Ourselves?”
	6:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @6:40 Is there room for The Wipers, "I Don't Know What I Am" after The Fixx?
	6:42pm Mr Fab: ↳ WR @6:39 Daaaamn, yeah, just saw pictures of a nearly empty Bourbon Street. You don’t see that too often.
	6:42pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @6:41 Yes!
	6:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @6:42 Probably Harry Nilsson's, "I Yam What I Yam" from the Popeye Soundtrack, after that?
	6:45pm Arvo Zylo: Adult. & Planet B – Release Me Just Mustard – In Shade Prefuse 73 (featuring Adron) – The Only Guitar To Die Alone
	6:51pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Austin Rich @6:41 You Am I - We Hardly Knew You Ministry - Just One Fix Black Flag - Fix Me Black Pus - I'll Come When I Can
	6:51pm Arvo Zylo: Supersilent – 4.2
	6:53pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Austin Rich @6:44 Frank Zappa - You Are What You Is (I don't like Frank Zappa though)
	6:54pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ WR @6:39 Thank you for listening. I'm sorry about your stress. I have a few friends out there too.
	6:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo Zylo @6:53 He's not for everyone. With hindsight, I wonder how much of what I liked about early Zappa was actually The Mothers (the band), and he was just along for the ride. His solo stuff seems lacking to me.
	6:56pm Arvo Zylo: ↳ Austin Rich @6:54 Lumpy Gravy is still pretty golden, though. I might give another assessment to the stuff with The Mothers. But currently, I think of Frank Zappa as a gateway, not really a stopping point.
	6:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo Zylo @6:56 I do like that Lumpy Gravy. But who doesn't?
	7:00pm Arvo Zylo: Thanks all!!
	7:01pm Aitch: Thanks AZ!
	7:01pm WR: Thanks for making it a party
	7:01pm Arvo Zylo: Good times!
