Music behind DJ: David Rose Orchestra	Parade of the Clowns	The Lush Life	State Records	2012	David Daniel Rose (June 15, 1910 – August 23, 1990)[1] was a British-born American songwriter, composer, arranger, pianist, and orchestra leader. His best known compositions were "The Stripper", "Holiday for Strings", and "Calypso Melody".

Agender	I Need a Break from the USA	I Need a Break from the USA Single	CLIMAX!	2024	EXISTENTIAL TERROR HURRAH, SNAPPY SYNTHY PUNCHY POST-PUNK...from LA.

Gemma Rogers	Never Have I Ever "Never Have I Ever" by "Gemma Rogers"	Never Have I Ever Single	Interstellar Music Services	2024	NEVER HAVE I EVER - final track off NO FUTURE EP has dropped! inger-songwriter Gemma Rogers packs a whole 21st-century kitchen sink drama into her latest four-track EP No Future, which barely clocks in at a quarter of an hour. It has veritable multiple influences – some mellifluous, others deliberately harsh by way of the gritty side of the 2011 film Attack The Block – that connect with the Spotify-saturated youth of today. Working with producers EAMES, Gareth Ashton (The Verve, Rolling Stones, Tina Turner) and Mike Tournier (of dance legends Fluke); she projects an in-your-face sound to enhance her whiplash sense of catharsis. he X-Ray Spex-like Never Have I Ever is the EP’s hammer home crux – a biting critique on normalisation of sexual violence directed at women. “I thought it was worth exploring and comparing my attitude to men by looking at things I’ve never done or said to a man, she says, Things that would seem bizarre or wrong; but these bizarre or wrong actions from a man to a woman are somehow normalised by some.“	*	0:03:52 (Pop-up)
Mhaol	Snare "Snare" by "Mhaol"	Snare Single	Merge	2024	“‘Snare’ is about countless conversations I’ve had since my first drum lesson on my ninth birthday about how bizarre it is that I play that instrument, or how I should be doing it differently,” recalls M(h)aol’s lead vocalist and drummer Constance Keane. “The idea of society gendering an inanimate object like a drum kit, when it’s something that brings me so much joy and release, has always frustrated me hugely, and I thought it was time to sing about it.” Mhaol are from Dublin, Ireland and are concerned with Feminism. Animal welfare. Chipper chips.	*	0:06:56 (Pop-up)
Cabeça Cheia	Sobcontrole "Sobcontrole" by "Cabeça Cheia"	Cabeça Cheia	Cabeça Cheia	2024	Hailing from Sao Paulo Brazil, Kabeça Cheia is a sound mix channeled by the mind of José Victor Barroso. Each composition is free to be whatever it wants, moving between different musical genres without losing the youthful, energetic and dramatic essence expressed by those who have their feelings on edge.	*	0:10:28 (Pop-up)
Midgee	Somebody Shot Me "Somebody Shot Me" by "Midgee"	Split	Grog Records	2024	Midgee are from Brisbane. We learned last time we played them that it's very important to Fuck Mortein. We also learned that a Midgee is a Midge, a small, non-biting flies that are similar in appearance to mosquitoes: Mortein is an insecticide commonly sold in Australia, and made its first appearance as a bug killer in the 1870s by J. Hagemann, a German immigrant to Australia. It is believed that Hagemann himself came up with the name Mortein, with a little help from his French wife. The word "Mortein" is a combination of the French word "mort" (dead) and the German word "ein" (one) Also fuck Peter Dutton.	*	0:14:18 (Pop-up)
Pan Amsterdam, Leron Thomas	White Ninja	White Ninja Single	Heavenly Recordings	2024	Pan Amsterdam, the artist formerly known as Leron Thomas as the latest addition to the Heavenly family, and welcome the release of his brand new single ‘White Ninja.’ The track whips past in 96 seconds and features a dialogue about cultural appropriation and instant gratification that bobs and weaves like a cruise liner floating across the Sea of Tranquility. Thomas – aka Pan Amsterdam – is a New York based musical nomad. Rapper, jazz trumpeter, producer, musical director, thinker, often all at once. Thomas’ music traverses a woozy, nocturnal world where his many musical disciplines morph and merge into a deeply odd yet consistently coherent sound. It’s a world where Christopher Walken’s Pulp Fiction character Captain Koons is as key a collaborator as Doves’ Jimi Goodwin (on his excellent recent NightjaR album), Metronomy (on their dreamy summer smash Nice Town) or Iggy Pop (both on stage and on record). On his tracks, lyrics spiral in the way that the best after-hours hip-hop music does, making you feel like you’ve followed him all the way down the rabbit hole.	*	0:15:52 (Pop-up)
James Martin, The Guest	Bad Dog "Bad Dog" by "James Martin, The Guest"	Good Dog vs. Bad Dog	James Martin & Isaac Wood	2019	The Guest is one Isaac Wood, also the singer for Black Country, New Road. A member of Nervous Conditions whilst at Sixth-form college at Cambridge, UK Studying BMus Electronic Music at Guildhall School of Music & Drama Four days before the release of their 2022 second album Ants from Up There, Wood left the band, citing mental health struggles.		0:17:31 (Pop-up)
Marc Rebillet	Fuck Donald Trump "Fuck Donald Trump" by "Marc Rebillet"	Loop Daddy	Bored Certified	2018	Rebillet's music is defined by his use of a Boss RC-505 loop station, which allows him to layer his voice with keyboards, tambourines, and other hand percussion instruments. Most of his songs are improvised, and include elements of funk, soul, hip hop, and house music, as well as comedy skits. Nick Pagano described Rebillet's music as ranging "from soulful serenading piano ballads to funky bass licks to downright club bangers, and is always accompanied by his unique sense of humor". His lyrics tend to be comical, silly, or vulgar, enough so that he has been referred to as a comedian. Rebillet's "goofy", "nerdy", yet "earnest" personality plays a role in his popularity. Speaking about the lyrical content of Rebillet's songs, WBUR's Tonya Mosley said, "they’re actually really insightful. It’s sort of like social commentary." Rebillet has mentioned Reggie Watts, Nina Simone, Madlib, and James Blake as sources of inspiration. Speaking about Reggie Watts, Rebillet has said, "I would not be doing this if he didn’t exist."		0:20:29 (Pop-up)

The Ex	Hands Up! You’re Free "Hands Up! You’re Free" by "The Ex"	Hands Up! You’re Free (Peel Sessions)	Ex Records	1985 / 1988	From the back cover notes about said song... "Justice at the wrong side of the gun, people drugged by consumerism, Adolf Mercury is Bing at the party in McDonald's junkyard, the word is GOOD TASTE SUCKS, and war is in the charts again. Awopbopaloobopabigbangboom." Recorded 1985 / Released 1988. The Ex for this session included 3 guests from UK's Mekons: Terrie (guitar), G.W.

Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp	Tout Haut	Ventre Unique	Les Disques Bongo Joe	2024	From Geneva, Switzerland. -- Released digitally Nov 1 & Nov 8 physically... "New album Ventre Unique – their sixth, and the successor to 2021’s acclaimed We’re Ok But We’re Lost Anyway – is as exuberant as it is emotionally fraught with a dream amalgam of folk, krautrock, post-punk and African rhythms that feels both uncluttered and beautifully organic." //// "Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp is a perpetually evolving ‘orchestra’, loosely modelled on the great 20th-century African groups like Tout Puissant Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou and tipping its hat to revolutionary French artist Marcel Duchamp." //// https://orchestretoutpuissantmarcelduchamp.bandcamp.com/album/ventre-unique	*	0:37:51 (Pop-up)
Hak Baker	No Control! "No Control!" by "Hak Baker"	Nostalgia Death EP	Hak Attack / AWAL Recordings	2024	Hak Baker explains: “No Control” is a crowning moment of the past. I would never be me if we didn’t choose to live in our own movie-like world. One day we will make a movie of it because it truly deserves it. No kids lived like us on the edge of the true east London bastions. Never taking no for an answer, pic-axing our present into fruition. It was the best though it was at 1000mph pace. I wanted to also sing and dance about it too. After all there are two sides to a coin."	*	0:42:53 (Pop-up)
Essential Logic	Alien Boys (Dave Audé Remix)	Alien Boys (Dave Audé Remix) [Digital Single]	Hiss And Shake Records	2024	Released Nov 1... Lora Logic is back at it again, hurrah! Is there a video? Of course there is! Essential Logic - Alien Boys (Dave Audé Remix) - (Official Video) "After co-founding X-Ray Spex, Lora Logic formed Essential Logic in 1978, shaping post-punk with unique sax, whimsical melodies. Their 1979 album, 'Beat Rhythm News,' stood out. After a long hiatus, Essential Logic returned in 2022 with 'Land of Kali.’" https://essentiallogic.bandcamp.com/	*	0:45:35 (Pop-up)
LCD Soundsystem	X-Ray Eyes "X-Ray Eyes" by "LCD Soundsystem"	X-Ray Eyes [Digital Single]	Excelsior / Sony	2024	Released Nov 1. "LCD Soundsystem have officially released “X-Ray Eyes,” the new song that got premiered on NTS Radio in October. James Murphy produced the single, and he co-wrote it with Al Doyle and Nancy Whang, the latter of whom also does some vocals with Murphy. //////// Murphy shared a statement to go with “X-Ray Eyes,” teasing the band’s fifth studio album. He wrote: so there’s a new lcd song now called x ray eyes. it’s the first single of what’s shaping up to be a new album. don’t ask me when that is, because we’re still working on it. but it feels very good to be putting out new music. we made a small run of silkscreened 12”s that will sell at the upcoming LA and NYC shows, and DFA will have a limited grip of them, but don’t freak out if you don’t get one because there will be a more readily available commercial release of the same record when we can get it together. we just made a pile of white labels and are screening 100 at a time for each gig. it’s a short lead time thing. and it’s fun. //////// but, no, there’s no finished LP yet. but when we’re not playing shows, it’s getting closer and closer to completion. so that’s the news. anything else you hear is bullshit speculation. //////// go vote. //////// j""	*	0:50:45 (Pop-up)

Cyril Cyril	Le Tocsin "Le Tocsin" by "Cyril Cyril"	le futur ça marche pas	Born Bad Records	2024	This album came out in April of this year and continues to deliver the goodness. "....You should have seen these two, on a populous festival night, bringing a narrow club to fever pitch by summoning utopian Neguses. Playing new Berbers, provoking unlikely seismic soukous in a trance that has as much to do with the hippie giddiness as with Fraggle Rock. Indeed, for Cyril Cyril, music is a way of the world, a joyful decentration offering new keys to comprehend chaos. The point here has nothing to do with some globalized country excursion nor some gluten-free exoticism. Beneath the beach lie the paving stones. Politics always end up showing on the surface of these exhilarating chants, of these skeletal grooves. Apart from tracing back the family pathway of some belatedly-adopted Lebanese dialect, Cyril Yeterian chants rhapsodies in French, the merciless terms of which say it all about coming insurrections...."		1:08:00 (Pop-up)
The Horrors	Trial By Fire "Trial By Fire" by "The Horrors"	Trial By Fire Single	Fiction	2024	With their long-awaited new album set to land early next year, The Horrors have now dropped the next cut to be lifted from their forthcoming full-length. Speaking about the new offering, they said, “’Trial By Fire’ is one of the more aggressive songs on ‘Night Life’, bridging the gap between our two industrial EPs and the new album. Rhys began the demo in Southend isolation, before we got together and twisted it into something meaner. It’s about the curses that follow you through your life. For The Horrors, every day is Halloween.”	*	1:09:30 (Pop-up)
The Mind	Let's Experience Yr Head	Open Up The Window and Leave Your Body	Lumpy	2021	This is the second album by Cleveland’s the MIND, a band capable of crafting beautifully gloomy gems of songs: vaporous, uncanny, and with all the hidden qualities of a Man Ray photograph. Their sound is really peculiar, it lives in the exact confluence of ’80s post-punk and early dream pop. The music feels like a monolith casting a shadow over a poppy field. There is a dark psychedelic edge to the songs, reminding me of Chicagoans DA! or really early SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES. The band seems to really be hitting you straight from the unconscious with each song, and this is an LP that deserves to be played really loud late at night....		1:13:31 (Pop-up)
Why Bother?	Grim Anticipation "Grim Anticipation" by "Why Bother?"	Hey, At Least You're Not Me	Feel It Records	2024	Greetings from the Northern plains of the hopeless heartland. We are now entering the time when the leaves hiss and the dark corners of reality are not so brightly lit....And hidden within these long shadows reside the band WHY BOTHER? where they have recorded and will be releasing yet another album to close the punk rock door on 2024. ...This record we call ''HEY, AT LEAST YOU'RE NOT ME'' was going to be released in 2025 , but we decided that the sooner the better is the way to go so we can focus and work on more material for the future. (Until then, this is our self-proclaimed masterpiece to date) So what do you think?... Is there even a future to talk about?.... Well, the ALL seeing eye says YES. But will you be there to embellish it is the REAL question. If so, we will be there waiting for you. Sincerely, WHY BOTHER?	*	1:15:19 (Pop-up)
Damon Locks & Rob Mazurek	Support the Youth (With Sound)	New Future City Radio	International Anthem	2023	New Future City Radio is the first duo collaboration of longtime creative partners Damon Locks & Rob Mazurek. In a hyperactive 40-minute, 18-track suite that runs like a boombox mixtape, the two prolific multi-media artists contemplate community, transformation, and the future through the programmatic format of a pirate radio station for the people. Themes both sonic and text based were predetermined but improvisation leads the journey. The music these two have devised may sound hyper-charged one moment and gently transportive the next, and often somewhere in between. When asked about New Future City Radio the duo exclaim in one voice: "I'm talking post, post, post, future. I'm talking resilience and levitation. I'm talking beauty and structural integrity for my people. I'm talking light beams that tell stories and educate. Let's talk about that if you wanna talk new future!"		1:18:15 (Pop-up)
Marinaro	Beyond the Rainbow Tunnel	Hella Love	Hardly Art	2021	Hella Love, the Hardly Art debut from Marinero, is an album about closing a chapter. It’s Jess Sylvester’s grand farewell, and love letter to his hometown and the place he grew up, The San Francisco Bay Area, before relocating to Los Angeles after finishing his debut release. Using the moniker Marinero (which means “sailor” in Spanish), Jess Sylvester was drawn to this name as a means to honor his parent’s stories -- his father, a sailor, and mother, a Mexican-American who grew up in San Francisco. This record blends many worlds from beginning to end, and as you go deeper it hits harder. It’s his goodbye to The Bay.		1:19:42 (Pop-up)

Pixies	Jane (The Night the Zombies Came)	The Night The Zombies Came	Pixies Recording Inc / BMG	2024	The full album, released Oct 25. "35 years since their groundbreaking platinum-certified album Doolittle catapulted the band into the UK Top Ten, and 20 years since their celebrated reformation at Coachella, Pixies are deep into their second act, and in the midst of a creative purple patch. The Night The Zombies Came is Pixies' tenth album, if you count their classic 1987 4AD mini-LP, Come On Pilgrim, and first new music since 2022's acclaimed Doggerel LP. 13 new songs that find Pixies looking ahead to the most cinematic record of their career. Druidism, apocalyptic shopping malls, mediaeval themed restaurants, 12th century poetic form, surf rock, gargoyles, bog people, and the distinctive dry drum sound of 1970s-era Fleetwood Mac are just some of the disparate wonders that inform the new songs."	*	1:33:54 (Pop-up)

The Cure	Drone:NoDrone "Drone:NoDrone" by "The Cure"	Songs Of A Lost World	Lost Music LTD / Universal / Fiction	2024	"Songs of a Lost World is the fourteenth studio album by English rock band the Cure, released on 1 November 2024 via Fiction,: 113 Lost Music, Universal, Polydor, and Capitol Records. It is the band's first release of new material in 16 years since the release of 4:13 Dream in 2008. All the songs on the album were composed solely by singer/guitarist Robert Smith, for the first time since the 1985 album The Head on the Door. It is also their first studio album to feature Reeves Gabrels although he was previously featured on the band's 1997 single "Wrong Number"."	*	1:41:54 (Pop-up)
Siouxsie & The Banshees	Voodoo Dolly [John Peel 10/2/81]	At The BBC	Polydor	1981 / 2009	"At the BBC consists of four discs containing 84 digitally remastered tracks of BBC sessions, live concert tracks and TV performances recorded between 1977 and 1991 split across three CDs and a DVD, as well has a hard-back book. //// The DVD featured several live sessions filmed for The Old Grey Whistle Test and Oxford Road Show, and for the first time, a previously-unreleased concert filmed in Warwick in March 1981, prior to their Juju album, with John McGeoch on guitar. Robert Smith was also featured on guitar on nine songs, including a TV session in 1979 and all the TV appearances from November 1982 through March 1984." //// "Mojo wrote: In a four-disc box 3 CDs cover their BBC sessions but it's the one vital DVD that reveals the Banshees’ true nature. Make no mistake: post-punk started here. And that’s not the half of it. Between late 1977 and autumn ’79, no British band could touch the Banshees. Their infamous, improvised August ’76 debut at the 100 Club Punk Rock Festival had taken DIY to its literal extreme. A year later, they re-emerged with a John Peel session that was light years from numbskull punk. That debut, still shockingly artful and assured, heads off 55 songs recorded for BBC Radio which make up the first three discs here. A fourth parcels up 29 performances shot for BBC TV. From an ice cool arrival on Old Grey Whistle Test, to a saffron-flavoured farewell on Top Of The Pops 13 years later, it chronicles the transformation of punk’s most militant iconoclasts into an alternative music colossus."		1:46:40 (Pop-up)

	🏝 8:28pm prof.fuzz: ↳ v-dawg @8:27 amen to that. i'm lucky that i haven't taken a good tumble off of my longboard in a while. we've got studio time booked week of thanksgiving, so i'm not gonna skate until that's done.
	8:29pm laurapanic: ↳ ultradamno @8:26 hahaha Mortein....

	🏝 8:32pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Juli P @8:26 Hang in there mate! I'd be crying too if not for Prozac... & beer. 🍻😎🤙💨🍺🌻💜
	8:34pm DJ Babs: Goddamn it it IS MORETEEN. I should have remembered from last time!
	8:34pm DJ Babs: I hope our cheering clanky bottles didn't cause too much ear pain, lol.
	8:34pm v-dawg: ↳ prof.fuzz @8:28 Yes, that is a very good idea. I was in the street too when i fell. So i had to get up quickly.
	8:35pm DJ Babs: ↳ v-dawg @8:34 ooof geez I missed that, I hope you are Ok!
	8:36pm DJ Babs: ↳ Juli P @8:26 I know Juli. It's a really hard time. Especially for women, there's another level that makes it extra shitty. I've been finding solace here and in the chats, and lots of good music, and friends. And Ice Cream...lol
	8:41pm DJ Babs: Also if anyone has any recommendations about Las Vegas we are happy to hear them! I think we have the cool places figured out....
	8:41pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ v-dawg @8:27 v-dawg, hello... Sorry to hear about the mishap... Heal up quick quick quick...
	8:42pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Song: "Tout Haut" by "Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duc... This album is incredible...
	🏝 8:43pm Scott_Oz: ↳ DJ Babs @8:34 No worries mate! & also clanking booze bottle is music to my ears! Cheers dears!🍻😎🤙
	8:44pm lady of the green mountains: Wellll im gonna say it’s a concerning time for anyone with federal student loans.
	8:44pm DJ Babs: ↳ Scott_Oz @8:43 We’ve got the cheers! What’s the weather report down under? We had CRAZY almost summer days last week. I’ve been sitting outside smoking weed in a summer dress and tanning lol
	8:45pm DJ Babs: Hello LOTGM! Welcome to the Beach! 😀
	8:45pm DJ Babs: ↳ lady of the green mountains @8:44 I would imagine. It’s also a bad time for all kinds of Ladies. 😬
	8:46pm ultradamno: It's going to be a great time for billionaires though. So first thing you need to do: get a billion dollars
	8:48pm DJ Babs: We are in Canada…but our countries are so deeply enmeshed…so we definitely feel the impact in many ways. I have a few friends with Trumpy relatives and they are really struggling hard.
	8:48pm v-dawg: ↳ DJ Babs @8:35 My foot is not 100% yet. I can walk almost normal now. TLDR: I was returning home Halloween night. I said to myself "Donot go down that road; there is traffic and it is hilly and curvy. Go down the other one." I skated down the other road and towards the end of the decline, i fell. Had it been daylight, i would have just walked. As i learned the next day, there were fissures and a mini-crater in the road. Yes, i ride with a helmet and a light. And nice people stopped to check up on me.
	8:49pm DJ Babs: ↳ v-dawg @8:48 Oh no! That sounds awful. I am officially of the age where I’m afraid to fall down, lol.
	8:49pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ lady of the green mountains @8:44 l.o.t.g.m.... yes, seems unlikely things are going to get super-forgiving at anytime soon. The great populist lie... It's all for the people... Until it immediately isn't.
	🏝 8:50pm Scott_Oz: ↳ DJ Babs @8:44 Our Spring is all over the place mate. 36c Wednesday now 17c today.(Friday)
	8:51pm DJ Babs: ↳ v-dawg @8:48 It sucks too because I definitely like to think of myself as a youthful and super active person...but I've been battling a shitty hip thing...and it makes me feel so oooooldd.....lol.
	🏝 8:51pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Scott_Oz @8:50 Fire danger weather up Laura's way though.
	8:51pm v-dawg: ↳ DJ Babs @8:41 I do not have any recommendations, but most people in Las Vegas donot give a shit what you do. FYI, second information.
	8:51pm DJ Babs: Aww the DJ in me wants to mix out of this sooo bad....with some earth wind and fire lol
	8:52pm ?: Hi you guys, enjoying the tunes from afar. Music definitely helps, I'm listening and writing at the same time, I was watching some live opera for a moment too. Not sure if doing three things at once is quite enough to quiet the mind. So much fun hanging out last show! Congratulations again! Vegas recommendations on the way.
	8:52pm DJ Babs: OMG I LOVE THIS SO MUCH OMG
	8:52pm ?: Las Vegas #1 https://velveteenrabbitlv.com/
	8:52pm laurapanic: ↳ Scott_Oz @8:51 Is it? Gonna be low/mid 20s all weekend I think
	8:52pm DJ Babs: ↳ @8:52 Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!
	8:53pm DJ Babs: ↳ Scott_Oz @8:50 Ha! That's weirdo climate change for ya. We were at 21-26 last week. I rode my bike today wearing a hoodie and knee highs, lol. (and pants)
	8:54pm DJ Babs: ↳ @8:52 Yeah, Velveteen Rabbit is on our list it looks so cool!!!!! We are mostly staying near Fremont I think...tho we are at the Venetian for our wedding night to see the B52s...
	8:55pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ v-dawg @8:48 Good to know that nice people checked up on you! I had a bad spill on my bike once where my (helmeted) head bounced off the road. A passerby & her family held me down & when I came to, she offered to call an ambulance. Thankfully it was all just deep deep bruises, nothing time couldn't fully fix... I will always be eternally thankful for so many kindnesses from so many strangers... They collected my bike & held it safe for me, too. Gives you faith in the world.
	8:55pm v-dawg: ↳ DJ Babs @8:51 Conversation on the day after at lunch: "I feel old. And not just because my body is in pain right now. You, almost 55, officially senior, feel young, look young, act young."
	8:55pm ultradamno: That brings up another thing...Trump said the first thing he wants to do is roll back "climate hoax" regulations. It's unclear where he'll land on electric vehicles (he's often be hostile in comments, but now there's Musk in the mix)
	8:57pm ?: ↳ DJ Babs @8:54 Well, if you do find yourself at Velveteen Rabbit - suggestion #2 is to see the archway to the arts district (a couple of blocks away). It's a piece by my dad, two giant light up paint brushes. Funny, I forgot to mention it.
	8:57pm ultradamno: Often *been, that is
	8:59pm DJ Babs: ↳ @8:57 Oh my goodness, thank you! We will DEFINITELY have to check that out then. Very cool!
	8:59pm ?: ↳ DJ Babs @8:59 Yay!
	9:01pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:55 There is going to be a LOT of weirdness going on in the next while. A lot. Workin' on my strategy, lol.
	🏝 9:01pm prof.fuzz: ↳ v-dawg @8:55 my strategy is to keep playing loud music and skating, and thereby either hold off aging or die spectacularly
	9:03pm ultradamno: It is Alice Bag's birthday, by the way
	9:04pm DJ Babs: Agreed. I think it's time to get very grassroots right now. Cause healthy roots spread and get strong.
	9:04pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:03 She is incredible.
	🏝 9:04pm Scott_Oz: I played a track on my first Drop-In show (under the name Scott67) by local band DEAD called Monster. I reckon it's appropriate to today's 'theme'. wfmu.org...
	9:04pm v-dawg: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:55 My bike slid on a piece of ice years ago while on the main thorofare near home. I was banged up kinda bad and happy that i wore my helmet. My bike was actually in worse shape that me; the wheel was bent. As for a lack of concern from people after you fall, that is another, (little bit funny) story.
	🏝 9:05pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:04 Sorry! Called "Fools Get You Everywhere".
	🏝 9:06pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:05 We just call it Monster because of the chorus.
	9:09pm DJ Babs: Excellent Scott, I gotta check that out. How did I not know that was happening?!?!? Your last show was awesome!
	🏝 9:11pm Scott_Oz: ↳ DJ Babs @9:09 I've done 3 mate. First was under my old user handle of Scott67. the later 2 as Scott_Oz. They're in the Drop-In archive on R'n'S mate.
	9:11pm DJ Babs: ↳ v-dawg @9:04 ooof. Derek's last bike mishap was pretty goddamn brutal...
	9:12pm DJ Babs: Yes! I've heard the first 2 for sure!
	9:12pm DJ Babs: Also....how fucking Love and Rockets is this?
	9:13pm ultradamno: mastodon.social...
	9:15pm ultradamno: Trump is also talking about a tariff against Mexico if immigrants don't stop coming here...so, if you like avocados
	9:16pm DJ Babs: I don't want to be one of those "I heard this crazy shit" people...but is it true that RFK is going to be a medical advisor and make vaccines illegal? Like...all vaccines?
	9:18pm DJ Babs: Like, I feel awful for even typing this...and by no means am I saying that it's fact..but other people are saying it and it's fucked either way LOL
	9:18pm ultradamno: ↳ DJ Babs @9:16 He has said he has been promised a position that will put him in charge of HHS and the CDC and, yes, he has said he will do away with vaccines
	9:20pm DJ Babs: well ok then. <screams internally>
	9:20pm DJ Babs: and people..voted for this?
	9:20pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @9:18 Though he's now saying not on the vaccine thing (probably because it's not plausible)... www.msn.com...
	9:20pm DJ Babs: <screams internally>
	🏝 9:21pm Kristine: Good evening!
	9:21pm ultradamno: "Kennedy said he wants to improve the science of vaccine safety" Oh, good.
	9:21pm DJ Babs: Hi Kristine!!!!!!!! Let's just settle into these mellow grooves to banish the horror lol
	9:22pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @9:21 Good evening Kristine! Hello hello hello!!!!!!!!
	9:22pm DJ Babs: How ya doing there K?
	9:22pm ultradamno: “They’re not protecting our kids. Why do we have Froot Loops in this country that have 18 or 19 ingredients, and you go to Canada, and it's got two or three?” Really, you guys have three ingredient Froot Loops up there?
	9:23pm ultradamno: He seems to still be intending to remove fluoride from the tap water though
	🏝 9:23pm prof.fuzz: ↳ ultradamno @9:22 checks ingredients on box of canada fruit loops: fruit. loops. box. yup. checks out.
	9:25pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @9:18 Working at a hospital, I can verify that vaccines are only good for saving lives... So y'know...
	9:26pm v-dawg: I like avocados even if they are a little annoying at times. The food stores around here carry avocados/paltas from California, Mexico, and Peru.
	🏝 9:27pm Kristine: ↳ DJ Babs @9:22 I am doing great. i feel bad for the fine ppl in the u.s. that get stick with that moronic cheeto. but i paid little attention to the u.s. elections because i cant emotionally invest in this idiotic shit
	9:27pm ultradamno: Yeah, California is known for avocados, but supply nowhere the majority that's on the market (all the wildfires haven't helped with that)...it's largely a cartel market
	🏝 9:27pm Kristine: it will be funny sitting in your apartment next week looking after meepmoop listening to the show.
	9:30pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @9:27 Thank-you so much for that... We are all excited for that! We truly hope that Meep Moop is a perfect gentleman for you. If not... Don't take his bullshit. That being said, Moop will hopefully be a fun character. I'm sure you will be best buds by the time we are home again.
	🏝 9:32pm Kristine: love the horrors!!
	9:35pm DJ Babs: RIGHT!? They are SO good! At everything!
	9:35pm DJ Babs: ↳ Kristine @9:27 We are so excited to have you! I wil be cleaning the house for the next 4 days in anticipation LOL
	9:36pm DJ Babs: Also Meep Moop is ready to show you all his toys and present his belly for rubs!
	9:37pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Jane (The Night the Zombies Came)" by "Pixies" I think I saw an adult video called that
	9:37pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @9:37 lol. I wouldn't doubt it.
	9:39pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ DJ Babs @9:36 As we are all probably aware, cats and their belly pro-offerings can be fraught with mixed signals. That being said, I've been working since he was a kitten on saying gennnnnnntttllllllllle and he responds well with a neutral energy and a reminder to be gentle, it seems.
	🏝 9:40pm Kristine: ↳ DJ Babs @9:36 oh boy oh boy!! that cat is gonna get SO much love!
	9:40pm Derek Westerholm: He will melt into belly rubs often, to be sure.
	9:41pm DJ Babs: It's true. If you sense Moops is about to cross a line, you just have to tell him "Gentle" and he will cease any clawing attempts.
	🏝 9:41pm Kristine: i had a cat for a lonnngg time, i know they can be fickle!
	9:42pm Derek Westerholm: I do love how Moops often just curls up in front of our speakers as they blast very difficult music. His ears attenuate, and he weirdly seems to accept a lot of weird skronk into his environment with ease.
	9:44pm DJ Babs: Man, I gotta say that this Cure album is a balm for my soul.
	🏝 9:44pm Kristine: thank you derek, i think that is the message i needed to hear:) i will be playing music most definitely while i am there, havent used a turntable in a goodwhile, i will bring a few records:)
	9:45pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @9:44 Excellent! As you should!
	9:45pm DJ Babs: oh hellls yes! You should definitely plan for some record listening time! Perhaps it will inspire you to start a new DJ night????
	9:46pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @9:44 And play any on our shelves!
	🏝 9:47pm Kristine: nah, i dont think so, but i could dj for you guys with my few records! we could have a reverse show where i play for you in your living room!! with my records
	9:47pm DJ Babs: you used to DJ!
	🏝 9:47pm Kristine: well anyway i am hogging the chat with this cat bidness, but i am looking forward to it!
	9:48pm DJ Babs: It's like riding a bicycle! ;-)
	🏝 9:48pm Kristine: ↳ DJ Babs @9:48 tis true!
	9:49pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @9:47 I'm confident the chat would jump in with other non-cat business if it wished to.
	🏝 9:49pm Kristine: oh siouxsie!
	🏝 9:50pm Kristine: what a force!
	🏝 9:50pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:49 not to get too spammy, but our new single is about cats

Music behind DJ: David Rose Orchestra	Parade of the Clowns	The Lush Life	State Records	2012	David Daniel Rose (June 15, 1910 – August 23, 1990)[1] was a British-born American songwriter, composer, arranger, pianist, and orchestra leader. His best known compositions were "The Stripper", "Holiday for Strings", and "Calypso Melody". He also wrote music for many television series, including It's a Great Life, The Tony Martin Show, Little House on the Prairie, Highway to Heaven, Bonanza, Leave It to Beaver, and Highway Patrol, some under the pseudonym Ray Llewellyn.		0:00:00 (Pop-up)
Agender	I Need a Break from the USA	I Need a Break from the USA Single	CLIMAX!	2024	EXISTENTIAL TERROR HURRAH, SNAPPY SYNTHY PUNCHY POST-PUNK...from LA. "Baby, baby, you're the bomb Land of freedom, Babylon Baseball fields and bubblegum Stars and stripes and troubled sons Merry, merry, 'Murica She relies on on miracles God save, godspeed, God forgive That everything is politics Break From the U.S.A"	*	0:02:28 (Pop-up)
Gemma Rogers	Never Have I Ever "Never Have I Ever" by "Gemma Rogers"	Never Have I Ever Single	Interstellar Music Services	2024	NEVER HAVE I EVER - final track off NO FUTURE EP has dropped! inger-songwriter Gemma Rogers packs a whole 21st-century kitchen sink drama into her latest four-track EP No Future, which barely clocks in at a quarter of an hour. It has veritable multiple influences – some mellifluous, others deliberately harsh by way of the gritty side of the 2011 film Attack The Block – that connect with the Spotify-saturated youth of today. Working with producers EAMES, Gareth Ashton (The Verve, Rolling Stones, Tina Turner) and Mike Tournier (of dance legends Fluke); she projects an in-your-face sound to enhance her whiplash sense of catharsis. he X-Ray Spex-like Never Have I Ever is the EP’s hammer home crux – a biting critique on normalisation of sexual violence directed at women. “I thought it was worth exploring and comparing my attitude to men by looking at things I’ve never done or said to a man, she says, Things that would seem bizarre or wrong; but these bizarre or wrong actions from a man to a woman are somehow normalised by some.“	*	0:03:52 (Pop-up)
Mhaol	Snare "Snare" by "Mhaol"	Snare Single	Merge	2024	“‘Snare’ is about countless conversations I’ve had since my first drum lesson on my ninth birthday about how bizarre it is that I play that instrument, or how I should be doing it differently,” recalls M(h)aol’s lead vocalist and drummer Constance Keane. “The idea of society gendering an inanimate object like a drum kit, when it’s something that brings me so much joy and release, has always frustrated me hugely, and I thought it was time to sing about it.” Mhaol are from Dublin, Ireland and are concerned with Feminism. Animal welfare. Chipper chips.	*	0:06:56 (Pop-up)
Cabeça Cheia	Sobcontrole "Sobcontrole" by "Cabeça Cheia"	Cabeça Cheia	Cabeça Cheia	2024	Hailing from Sao Paulo Brazil, Kabeça Cheia is a sound mix channeled by the mind of José Victor Barroso. Each composition is free to be whatever it wants, moving between different musical genres without losing the youthful, energetic and dramatic essence expressed by those who have their feelings on edge.	*	0:10:28 (Pop-up)
Midgee	Somebody Shot Me "Somebody Shot Me" by "Midgee"	Split	Grog Records	2024	Midgee are from Brisbane. We learned last time we played them that it's very important to Fuck Mortein. We also learned that a Midgee is a Midge, a small, non-biting flies that are similar in appearance to mosquitoes: Mortein is an insecticide commonly sold in Australia, and made its first appearance as a bug killer in the 1870s by J. Hagemann, a German immigrant to Australia. It is believed that Hagemann himself came up with the name Mortein, with a little help from his French wife. The word "Mortein" is a combination of the French word "mort" (dead) and the German word "ein" (one) Also fuck Peter Dutton.	*	0:14:18 (Pop-up)
Pan Amsterdam, Leron Thomas	White Ninja	White Ninja Single	Heavenly Recordings	2024	Pan Amsterdam, the artist formerly known as Leron Thomas as the latest addition to the Heavenly family, and welcome the release of his brand new single ‘White Ninja.’ The track whips past in 96 seconds and features a dialogue about cultural appropriation and instant gratification that bobs and weaves like a cruise liner floating across the Sea of Tranquility. Thomas – aka Pan Amsterdam – is a New York based musical nomad. Rapper, jazz trumpeter, producer, musical director, thinker, often all at once. Thomas’ music traverses a woozy, nocturnal world where his many musical disciplines morph and merge into a deeply odd yet consistently coherent sound. It’s a world where Christopher Walken’s Pulp Fiction character Captain Koons is as key a collaborator as Doves’ Jimi Goodwin (on his excellent recent NightjaR album), Metronomy (on their dreamy summer smash Nice Town) or Iggy Pop (both on stage and on record). On his tracks, lyrics spiral in the way that the best after-hours hip-hop music does, making you feel like you’ve followed him all the way down the rabbit hole.	*	0:15:52 (Pop-up)
James Martin, The Guest	Bad Dog "Bad Dog" by "James Martin, The Guest"	Good Dog vs. Bad Dog	James Martin & Isaac Wood	2019	The Guest is one Isaac Wood, also the singer for Black Country, New Road. A member of Nervous Conditions whilst at Sixth-form college at Cambridge, UK Studying BMus Electronic Music at Guildhall School of Music & Drama Four days before the release of their 2022 second album Ants from Up There, Wood left the band, citing mental health struggles.		0:17:31 (Pop-up)
Marc Rebillet	Fuck Donald Trump "Fuck Donald Trump" by "Marc Rebillet"	Loop Daddy	Bored Certified	2018	Rebillet's music is defined by his use of a Boss RC-505 loop station, which allows him to layer his voice with keyboards, tambourines, and other hand percussion instruments. Most of his songs are improvised, and include elements of funk, soul, hip hop, and house music, as well as comedy skits. Nick Pagano described Rebillet's music as ranging "from soulful serenading piano ballads to funky bass licks to downright club bangers, and is always accompanied by his unique sense of humor". His lyrics tend to be comical, silly, or vulgar, enough so that he has been referred to as a comedian. Rebillet's "goofy", "nerdy", yet "earnest" personality plays a role in his popularity. Speaking about the lyrical content of Rebillet's songs, WBUR's Tonya Mosley said, "they’re actually really insightful. It’s sort of like social commentary." Rebillet has mentioned Reggie Watts, Nina Simone, Madlib, and James Blake as sources of inspiration. Speaking about Reggie Watts, Rebillet has said, "I would not be doing this if he didn’t exist."		0:20:29 (Pop-up)

The Ex	Hands Up! You’re Free "Hands Up! You’re Free" by "The Ex"	Hands Up! You’re Free (Peel Sessions)	Ex Records	1985 / 1988	From the back cover notes about said song... "Justice at the wrong side of the gun, people drugged by consumerism, Adolf Mercury is Bing at the party in McDonald's junkyard, the word is GOOD TASTE SUCKS, and war is in the charts again.

Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp	Tout Haut	Ventre Unique	Les Disques Bongo Joe	2024	From Geneva, Switzerland. -- Released digitally Nov 1 & Nov 8 physically... "New album Ventre Unique – their sixth, and the successor to 2021’s acclaimed We’re Ok But We’re Lost Anyway – is as exuberant as it is emotionally fraught with a dream amalgam of folk, krautrock, post-punk and African rhythms that feels both uncluttered and beautifully organic." //// "Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp is a perpetually evolving ‘orchestra’, loosely modelled on the great 20th-century African groups like Tout Puissant Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou and tipping its hat to revolutionary French artist Marcel Duchamp." //// https://orchestretoutpuissantmarcelduchamp.bandcamp.com/album/ventre-unique	*	0:37:51 (Pop-up)
Hak Baker	No Control! "No Control!" by "Hak Baker"	Nostalgia Death EP	Hak Attack / AWAL Recordings	2024	Hak Baker explains: “No Control” is a crowning moment of the past. I would never be me if we didn’t choose to live in our own movie-like world. One day we will make a movie of it because it truly deserves it. No kids lived like us on the edge of the true east London bastions. Never taking no for an answer, pic-axing our present into fruition. It was the best though it was at 1000mph pace. I wanted to also sing and dance about it too. After all there are two sides to a coin."	*	0:42:53 (Pop-up)

LCD Soundsystem	X-Ray Eyes "X-Ray Eyes" by "LCD Soundsystem"	X-Ray Eyes [Digital Single]	Excelsior / Sony	2024	Released Nov 1. "LCD Soundsystem have officially released “X-Ray Eyes,” the new song that got premiered on NTS Radio in October. James Murphy produced the single, and he co-wrote it with Al Doyle and Nancy Whang, the latter of whom also does some vocals with Murphy. //////// Murphy shared a statement to go with “X-Ray Eyes,” teasing the band’s fifth studio album. He wrote: so there’s a new lcd song now called x ray eyes. it’s the first single of what’s shaping up to be a new album. don’t ask me when that is, because we’re still working on it. but it feels very good to be putting out new music. we made a small run of silkscreened 12”s that will sell at the upcoming LA and NYC shows, and DFA will have a limited grip of them, but don’t freak out if you don’t get one because there will be a more readily available commercial release of the same record when we can get it together. we just made a pile of white labels and are screening 100 at a time for each gig. it’s a short lead time thing. and it’s fun. //////// but, no, there’s no finished LP yet. but when we’re not playing shows, it’s getting closer and closer to completion. so that’s the news. anything else you hear is bullshit speculation. //////// go vote. //////// j""	*	0:50:45 (Pop-up)

Cyril Cyril	Le Tocsin "Le Tocsin" by "Cyril Cyril"	le futur ça marche pas	Born Bad Records	2024	This album came out in April of this year and continues to deliver the goodness. "....You should have seen these two, on a populous festival night, bringing a narrow club to fever pitch by summoning utopian Neguses. Playing new Berbers, provoking unlikely seismic soukous in a trance that has as much to do with the hippie giddiness as with Fraggle Rock. Indeed, for Cyril Cyril, music is a way of the world, a joyful decentration offering new keys to comprehend chaos. The point here has nothing to do with some globalized country excursion nor some gluten-free exoticism. Beneath the beach lie the paving stones. Politics always end up showing on the surface of these exhilarating chants, of these skeletal grooves. Apart from tracing back the family pathway of some belatedly-adopted Lebanese dialect, Cyril Yeterian chants rhapsodies in French, the merciless terms of which say it all about coming insurrections...."		1:08:00 (Pop-up)
The Horrors	Trial By Fire "Trial By Fire" by "The Horrors"	Trial By Fire Single	Fiction	2024	With their long-awaited new album set to land early next year, The Horrors have now dropped the next cut to be lifted from their forthcoming full-length. Speaking about the new offering, they said, “’Trial By Fire’ is one of the more aggressive songs on ‘Night Life’, bridging the gap between our two industrial EPs and the new album. Rhys began the demo in Southend isolation, before we got together and twisted it into something meaner. It’s about the curses that follow you through your life. For The Horrors, every day is Halloween.”	*	1:09:30 (Pop-up)
The Mind	Let's Experience Yr Head	Open Up The Window and Leave Your Body	Lumpy	2021	This is the second album by Cleveland’s the MIND, a band capable of crafting beautifully gloomy gems of songs: vaporous, uncanny, and with all the hidden qualities of a Man Ray photograph. Their sound is really peculiar, it lives in the exact confluence of ’80s post-punk and early dream pop. The music feels like a monolith casting a shadow over a poppy field. There is a dark psychedelic edge to the songs, reminding me of Chicagoans DA! or really early SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES. The band seems to really be hitting you straight from the unconscious with each song, and this is an LP that deserves to be played really loud late at night....		1:13:31 (Pop-up)
Why Bother?	Grim Anticipation "Grim Anticipation" by "Why Bother?"	Hey, At Least You're Not Me	Feel It Records	2024	Greetings from the Northern plains of the hopeless heartland. We are now entering the time when the leaves hiss and the dark corners of reality are not so brightly lit....And hidden within these long shadows reside the band WHY BOTHER? where they have recorded and will be releasing yet another album to close the punk rock door on 2024. ...This record we call ''HEY, AT LEAST YOU'RE NOT ME'' was going to be released in 2025 , but we decided that the sooner the better is the way to go so we can focus and work on more material for the future. (Until then, this is our self-proclaimed masterpiece to date) So what do you think?... Is there even a future to talk about?.... Well, the ALL seeing eye says YES. But will you be there to embellish it is the REAL question. If so, we will be there waiting for you. Sincerely, WHY BOTHER?	*	1:15:19 (Pop-up)
Damon Locks & Rob Mazurek	Support the Youth (With Sound)	New Future City Radio	International Anthem	2023	New Future City Radio is the first duo collaboration of longtime creative partners Damon Locks & Rob Mazurek. In a hyperactive 40-minute, 18-track suite that runs like a boombox mixtape, the two prolific multi-media artists contemplate community, transformation, and the future through the programmatic format of a pirate radio station for the people. Themes both sonic and text based were predetermined but improvisation leads the journey. The music these two have devised may sound hyper-charged one moment and gently transportive the next, and often somewhere in between. When asked about New Future City Radio the duo exclaim in one voice: "I'm talking post, post, post, future. I'm talking resilience and levitation. I'm talking beauty and structural integrity for my people. I'm talking light beams that tell stories and educate. Let's talk about that if you wanna talk new future!"		1:18:15 (Pop-up)
Marinaro	Beyond the Rainbow Tunnel	Hella Love	Hardly Art	2021	Hella Love, the Hardly Art debut from Marinero, is an album about closing a chapter. It’s Jess Sylvester’s grand farewell, and love letter to his hometown and the place he grew up, The San Francisco Bay Area, before relocating to Los Angeles after finishing his debut release. Using the moniker Marinero (which means “sailor” in Spanish), Jess Sylvester was drawn to this name as a means to honor his parent’s stories -- his father, a sailor, and mother, a Mexican-American who grew up in San Francisco. This record blends many worlds from beginning to end, and as you go deeper it hits harder. It’s his goodbye to The Bay.		1:19:42 (Pop-up)

Pixies	Jane (The Night the Zombies Came)	The Night The Zombies Came	Pixies Recording Inc / BMG	2024	The full album, released Oct 25. "35 years since their groundbreaking platinum-certified album Doolittle catapulted the band into the UK Top Ten, and 20 years since their celebrated reformation at Coachella, Pixies are deep into their second act, and in the midst of a creative purple patch. The Night The Zombies Came is Pixies' tenth album, if you count their classic 1987 4AD mini-LP, Come On Pilgrim, and first new music since 2022's acclaimed Doggerel LP. 13 new songs that find Pixies looking ahead to the most cinematic record of their career. Druidism, apocalyptic shopping malls, mediaeval themed restaurants, 12th century poetic form, surf rock, gargoyles, bog people, and the distinctive dry drum sound of 1970s-era Fleetwood Mac are just some of the disparate wonders that inform the new songs."	*	1:33:54 (Pop-up)
Spectres	Wishing Well / Horror Box	AM DRAM	Spectres	2024	Released October 4, 2024 --- Spectres are from Bristol, UK & helpfully explain "we killed guitars" /////// About the album: "AM-DRAM is our 4th album.

The Cure	Drone:NoDrone "Drone:NoDrone" by "The Cure"	Songs Of A Lost World	Lost Music LTD / Universal / Fiction	2024	"Songs of a Lost World is the fourteenth studio album by English rock band the Cure, released on 1 November 2024 via Fiction,: 113 Lost Music, Universal, Polydor, and Capitol Records. It is the band's first release of new material in 16 years since the release of 4:13 Dream in 2008. All the songs on the album were composed solely by singer/guitarist Robert Smith, for the first time since the 1985 album The Head on the Door. It is also their first studio album to feature Reeves Gabrels although he was previously featured on the band's 1997 single "Wrong Number"."	*	1:41:54 (Pop-up)
Siouxsie & The Banshees	Voodoo Dolly [John Peel 10/2/81]	At The BBC	Polydor	1981 / 2009	"At the BBC consists of four discs containing 84 digitally remastered tracks of BBC sessions, live concert tracks and TV performances recorded between 1977 and 1991 split across three CDs and a DVD, as well has a hard-back book. //// The DVD featured several live sessions filmed for The Old Grey Whistle Test and Oxford Road Show, and for the first time, a previously-unreleased concert filmed in Warwick in March 1981, prior to their Juju album, with John McGeoch on guitar. Robert Smith was also featured on guitar on nine songs, including a TV session in 1979 and all the TV appearances from November 1982 through March 1984." //// "Mojo wrote: In a four-disc box 3 CDs cover their BBC sessions but it's the one vital DVD that reveals the Banshees’ true nature. Make no mistake: post-punk started here. And that’s not the half of it. Between late 1977 and autumn ’79, no British band could touch the Banshees. Their infamous, improvised August ’76 debut at the 100 Club Punk Rock Festival had taken DIY to its literal extreme. A year later, they re-emerged with a John Peel session that was light years from numbskull punk. That debut, still shockingly artful and assured, heads off 55 songs recorded for BBC Radio which make up the first three discs here. A fourth parcels up 29 performances shot for BBC TV. From an ice cool arrival on Old Grey Whistle Test, to a saffron-flavoured farewell on Top Of The Pops 13 years later, it chronicles the transformation of punk’s most militant iconoclasts into an alternative music colossus."		1:46:40 (Pop-up)

	8:05pm ultradamno: I gather conservatives up there were hoping they could force a snap election to push out Trudeau and repeat our mistake, luckily that's unlikely globalnews.ca...
	8:05pm DJ Babs: How is everyone doing here buddies?
	8:06pm laurapanic: We have a conservative ickbag waiting to pounce at our next elections next year. Peter Dutton, a racist cockwomble.
	8:06pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:05 yeah it's pretty ugly here. Three parties no make better sometimes. To keep our trump at bay we need a serious coalition between our Centrists and Left...and from what I'm reading, the US left did not want to play with the Centrists. It's the same deal just on a smaller level. Our dude is a fascist too. He marches with Nazis. Literally.

	8:19pm DJ Babs: Howdy Vdawg and Milkies...Welcome! Welcome!
	8:19pm Juli P: Love means love.
	8:19pm DJ Babs: You've arrived just in time for the weird bridge, lol.
	8:21pm DJ Babs: I was clearly having some feels when I programmed this, lol. It's also good for lifting weights, just saying.
	🏝 8:21pm prof.fuzz: ↳ Song: "Fuck Donald Trump" by "Marc Rebillet" a dallas local
	8:22pm DJ Babs: I love him. I love booty bass. I spent my early 2000s shaking my ass to this, lol. WHY NOT PROTEST AND DANCE
	8:22pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Fuck Donald Trump" by "Marc Rebillet" I read something the other day bemoaning the relative lack of anti-Trump protest songs. So this is nice to hear
	8:23pm Milkies: 🍊💥🔫
	8:23pm DJ Babs: oh there's going to be some excellent protest music....just you wait...
	8:24pm ultradamno: We could use some RFK jr songs too. It's the underappreciated threat of this week, that man is set to run HHS and CDC
	🏝 8:24pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Song: "Fuck Donald Trump" by "Marc Rebillet" What he said!! But tragically enough people want to hear his shit daily, & worse still they believe it!
	8:24pm v-dawg: ↳ prof.fuzz @7:59 That is a good reason to be absent. My case: The skateboard threw me off of itself.* Then I needed to limp to the bus stop to return home. *Awkward active voice.
	🏝 8:25pm Scott_Oz: Chorus is my new ringtone!
	🏝 8:25pm prof.fuzz: ↳ v-dawg @8:24 ouch! hope you're ok.
	8:26pm ultradamno: mastodon.social...
	8:26pm Juli P: We need love now. I'm crying tbh.
	8:26pm Juli P: ↳ Scott_Oz @8:25 Llol genius.
	8:26pm laurapanic: early 90s industrial punk is really coming into its own right now: Cop Shoot Cop, Lard - that bunch of Alt Tentacles kind of stuff that was railing against the USA back then. Try it, its great. Cop Shoot Cop are on my high rotation right now
	8:27pm v-dawg: Mostly ok. My friend reminded me that we are not young anymore.
	8:27pm ultradamno: Fuck Donald Trump live in 2018 www.youtube.com...
	🏝 8:28pm prof.fuzz: ↳ v-dawg @8:27 amen to that. i'm lucky that i haven't taken a good tumble off of my longboard in a while. we've got studio time booked week of thanksgiving, so i'm not gonna skate until that's done.
	8:29pm laurapanic: ↳ ultradamno @8:26 hahaha Mortein....
	🏝 8:30pm Scott_Oz: FUCK DUTTON INDEED! & we pronounce it More teen.
	🏝 8:32pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Juli P @8:26 Hang in there mate! I'd be crying too if not for Prozac... & beer. 🍻😎🤙💨🍺🌻💜
	8:34pm DJ Babs: Goddamn it it IS MORETEEN. I should have remembered from last time!
	8:34pm DJ Babs: I hope our cheering clanky bottles didn't cause too much ear pain, lol.
	8:34pm v-dawg: ↳ prof.fuzz @8:28 Yes, that is a very good idea. I was in the street too when i fell. So i had to get up quickly.
	8:35pm DJ Babs: ↳ v-dawg @8:34 ooof geez I missed that, I hope you are Ok!
	8:36pm DJ Babs: ↳ Juli P @8:26 I know Juli. It's a really hard time. Especially for women, there's another level that makes it extra shitty. I've been finding solace here and in the chats, and lots of good music, and friends. And Ice Cream...lol
	8:41pm DJ Babs: Also if anyone has any recommendations about Las Vegas we are happy to hear them! I think we have the cool places figured out....
	8:41pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ v-dawg @8:27 v-dawg, hello... Sorry to hear about the mishap... Heal up quick quick quick...
	8:42pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Song: "Tout Haut" by "Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duc... This album is incredible...
	🏝 8:43pm Scott_Oz: ↳ DJ Babs @8:34 No worries mate! & also clanking booze bottle is music to my ears! Cheers dears!🍻😎🤙
	8:44pm lady of the green mountains: Wellll im gonna say it’s a concerning time for anyone with federal student loans.
	8:44pm DJ Babs: ↳ Scott_Oz @8:43 We’ve got the cheers! What’s the weather report down under? We had CRAZY almost summer days last week. I’ve been sitting outside smoking weed in a summer dress and tanning lol
	8:45pm DJ Babs: Hello LOTGM! Welcome to the Beach! 😀
	8:45pm DJ Babs: ↳ lady of the green mountains @8:44 I would imagine. It’s also a bad time for all kinds of Ladies. 😬
	8:46pm ultradamno: It's going to be a great time for billionaires though. So first thing you need to do: get a billion dollars
	8:48pm DJ Babs: We are in Canada…but our countries are so deeply enmeshed…so we definitely feel the impact in many ways. I have a few friends with Trumpy relatives and they are really struggling hard.
	8:48pm v-dawg: ↳ DJ Babs @8:35 My foot is not 100% yet. I can walk almost normal now. TLDR: I was returning home Halloween night. I said to myself "Donot go down that road; there is traffic and it is hilly and curvy. Go down the other one." I skated down the other road and towards the end of the decline, i fell. Had it been daylight, i would have just walked. As i learned the next day, there were fissures and a mini-crater in the road. Yes, i ride with a helmet and a light. And nice people stopped to check up on me.
	8:49pm DJ Babs: ↳ v-dawg @8:48 Oh no! That sounds awful. I am officially of the age where I’m afraid to fall down, lol.
	8:49pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ lady of the green mountains @8:44 l.o.t.g.m.... yes, seems unlikely things are going to get super-forgiving at anytime soon. The great populist lie... It's all for the people... Until it immediately isn't.
	🏝 8:50pm Scott_Oz: ↳ DJ Babs @8:44 Our Spring is all over the place mate. 36c Wednesday now 17c today.(Friday)
	8:51pm DJ Babs: ↳ v-dawg @8:48 It sucks too because I definitely like to think of myself as a youthful and super active person...but I've been battling a shitty hip thing...and it makes me feel so oooooldd.....lol.
	🏝 8:51pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Scott_Oz @8:50 Fire danger weather up Laura's way though.
	8:51pm v-dawg: ↳ DJ Babs @8:41 I do not have any recommendations, but most people in Las Vegas donot give a shit what you do. FYI, second information.
	8:51pm DJ Babs: Aww the DJ in me wants to mix out of this sooo bad....with some earth wind and fire lol
	8:52pm ?: Hi you guys, enjoying the tunes from afar. Music definitely helps, I'm listening and writing at the same time, I was watching some live opera for a moment too. Not sure if doing three things at once is quite enough to quiet the mind. So much fun hanging out last show! Congratulations again! Vegas recommendations on the way.
	8:52pm DJ Babs: OMG I LOVE THIS SO MUCH OMG
	8:52pm ?: Las Vegas #1 https://velveteenrabbitlv.com/
	8:52pm laurapanic: ↳ Scott_Oz @8:51 Is it? Gonna be low/mid 20s all weekend I think
	8:52pm DJ Babs: ↳ @8:52 Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!
	8:53pm DJ Babs: ↳ Scott_Oz @8:50 Ha! That's weirdo climate change for ya. We were at 21-26 last week. I rode my bike today wearing a hoodie and knee highs, lol. (and pants)
	8:54pm DJ Babs: ↳ @8:52 Yeah, Velveteen Rabbit is on our list it looks so cool!!!!! We are mostly staying near Fremont I think...tho we are at the Venetian for our wedding night to see the B52s...
	8:55pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ v-dawg @8:48 Good to know that nice people checked up on you! I had a bad spill on my bike once where my (helmeted) head bounced off the road. A passerby & her family held me down & when I came to, she offered to call an ambulance. Thankfully it was all just deep deep bruises, nothing time couldn't fully fix... I will always be eternally thankful for so many kindnesses from so many strangers... They collected my bike & held it safe for me, too. Gives you faith in the world.
	8:55pm v-dawg: ↳ DJ Babs @8:51 Conversation on the day after at lunch: "I feel old. And not just because my body is in pain right now. You, almost 55, officially senior, feel young, look young, act young."
	8:55pm ultradamno: That brings up another thing...Trump said the first thing he wants to do is roll back "climate hoax" regulations. It's unclear where he'll land on electric vehicles (he's often be hostile in comments, but now there's Musk in the mix)
	8:57pm ?: ↳ DJ Babs @8:54 Well, if you do find yourself at Velveteen Rabbit - suggestion #2 is to see the archway to the arts district (a couple of blocks away). It's a piece by my dad, two giant light up paint brushes. Funny, I forgot to mention it.
	8:57pm ultradamno: Often *been, that is
	8:59pm DJ Babs: ↳ @8:57 Oh my goodness, thank you! We will DEFINITELY have to check that out then. Very cool!
	8:59pm ?: ↳ DJ Babs @8:59 Yay!
	9:01pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:55 There is going to be a LOT of weirdness going on in the next while. A lot. Workin' on my strategy, lol.
	🏝 9:01pm prof.fuzz: ↳ v-dawg @8:55 my strategy is to keep playing loud music and skating, and thereby either hold off aging or die spectacularly
	9:03pm ultradamno: It is Alice Bag's birthday, by the way
	9:04pm DJ Babs: Agreed. I think it's time to get very grassroots right now. Cause healthy roots spread and get strong.
	9:04pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:03 She is incredible.
	🏝 9:04pm Scott_Oz: I played a track on my first Drop-In show (under the name Scott67) by local band DEAD called Monster. I reckon it's appropriate to today's 'theme'. wfmu.org...
	9:04pm v-dawg: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:55 My bike slid on a piece of ice years ago while on the main thorofare near home. I was banged up kinda bad and happy that i wore my helmet. My bike was actually in worse shape that me; the wheel was bent. As for a lack of concern from people after you fall, that is another, (little bit funny) story.
	🏝 9:05pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:04 Sorry! Called "Fools Get You Everywhere".
	🏝 9:06pm Scott_Oz: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:05 We just call it Monster because of the chorus.
	9:09pm DJ Babs: Excellent Scott, I gotta check that out. How did I not know that was happening?!?!? Your last show was awesome!
	🏝 9:11pm Scott_Oz: ↳ DJ Babs @9:09 I've done 3 mate. First was under my old user handle of Scott67. the later 2 as Scott_Oz. They're in the Drop-In archive on R'n'S mate.
	9:11pm DJ Babs: ↳ v-dawg @9:04 ooof. Derek's last bike mishap was pretty goddamn brutal...
	9:12pm DJ Babs: Yes! I've heard the first 2 for sure!
	9:12pm DJ Babs: Also....how fucking Love and Rockets is this?
	9:13pm ultradamno: mastodon.social...
	9:15pm ultradamno: Trump is also talking about a tariff against Mexico if immigrants don't stop coming here...so, if you like avocados
	9:16pm DJ Babs: I don't want to be one of those "I heard this crazy shit" people...but is it true that RFK is going to be a medical advisor and make vaccines illegal? Like...all vaccines?
	9:18pm DJ Babs: Like, I feel awful for even typing this...and by no means am I saying that it's fact..but other people are saying it and it's fucked either way LOL
	9:18pm ultradamno: ↳ DJ Babs @9:16 He has said he has been promised a position that will put him in charge of HHS and the CDC and, yes, he has said he will do away with vaccines
	9:20pm DJ Babs: well ok then. <screams internally>
	9:20pm DJ Babs: and people..voted for this?
	9:20pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @9:18 Though he's now saying not on the vaccine thing (probably because it's not plausible)... www.msn.com...
	9:20pm DJ Babs: <screams internally>
	🏝 9:21pm Kristine: Good evening!
	9:21pm ultradamno: "Kennedy said he wants to improve the science of vaccine safety" Oh, good.
	9:21pm DJ Babs: Hi Kristine!!!!!!!! Let's just settle into these mellow grooves to banish the horror lol
	9:22pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @9:21 Good evening Kristine! Hello hello hello!!!!!!!!
	9:22pm DJ Babs: How ya doing there K?
	9:22pm ultradamno: “They’re not protecting our kids. Why do we have Froot Loops in this country that have 18 or 19 ingredients, and you go to Canada, and it's got two or three?” Really, you guys have three ingredient Froot Loops up there?
	9:23pm ultradamno: He seems to still be intending to remove fluoride from the tap water though
	🏝 9:23pm prof.fuzz: ↳ ultradamno @9:22 checks ingredients on box of canada fruit loops: fruit. loops. box. yup. checks out.
	9:25pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @9:18 Working at a hospital, I can verify that vaccines are only good for saving lives... So y'know...
	9:26pm v-dawg: I like avocados even if they are a little annoying at times. The food stores around here carry avocados/paltas from California, Mexico, and Peru.
	🏝 9:27pm Kristine: ↳ DJ Babs @9:22 I am doing great. i feel bad for the fine ppl in the u.s. that get stick with that moronic cheeto. but i paid little attention to the u.s. elections because i cant emotionally invest in this idiotic shit
	9:27pm ultradamno: Yeah, California is known for avocados, but supply nowhere the majority that's on the market (all the wildfires haven't helped with that)...it's largely a cartel market
	🏝 9:27pm Kristine: it will be funny sitting in your apartment next week looking after meepmoop listening to the show.
	9:30pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @9:27 Thank-you so much for that... We are all excited for that! We truly hope that Meep Moop is a perfect gentleman for you. If not... Don't take his bullshit. That being said, Moop will hopefully be a fun character. I'm sure you will be best buds by the time we are home again.
	🏝 9:32pm Kristine: love the horrors!!
	9:35pm DJ Babs: RIGHT!? They are SO good! At everything!
	9:35pm DJ Babs: ↳ Kristine @9:27 We are so excited to have you! I wil be cleaning the house for the next 4 days in anticipation LOL
	9:36pm DJ Babs: Also Meep Moop is ready to show you all his toys and present his belly for rubs!
	9:37pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Jane (The Night the Zombies Came)" by "Pixies" I think I saw an adult video called that
	9:37pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ultradamno @9:37 lol. I wouldn't doubt it.
	9:39pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ DJ Babs @9:36 As we are all probably aware, cats and their belly pro-offerings can be fraught with mixed signals. That being said, I've been working since he was a kitten on saying gennnnnnntttllllllllle and he responds well with a neutral energy and a reminder to be gentle, it seems.
	🏝 9:40pm Kristine: ↳ DJ Babs @9:36 oh boy oh boy!! that cat is gonna get SO much love!
	9:40pm Derek Westerholm: He will melt into belly rubs often, to be sure.
	9:41pm DJ Babs: It's true. If you sense Moops is about to cross a line, you just have to tell him "Gentle" and he will cease any clawing attempts.
	🏝 9:41pm Kristine: i had a cat for a lonnngg time, i know they can be fickle!
	9:42pm Derek Westerholm: I do love how Moops often just curls up in front of our speakers as they blast very difficult music. His ears attenuate, and he weirdly seems to accept a lot of weird skronk into his environment with ease.
	9:44pm DJ Babs: Man, I gotta say that this Cure album is a balm for my soul.
	🏝 9:44pm Kristine: thank you derek, i think that is the message i needed to hear:) i will be playing music most definitely while i am there, havent used a turntable in a goodwhile, i will bring a few records:)
	9:45pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @9:44 Excellent! As you should!
	9:45pm DJ Babs: oh hellls yes! You should definitely plan for some record listening time! Perhaps it will inspire you to start a new DJ night????
	9:46pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @9:44 And play any on our shelves!
	🏝 9:47pm Kristine: nah, i dont think so, but i could dj for you guys with my few records! we could have a reverse show where i play for you in your living room!! with my records
	9:47pm DJ Babs: you used to DJ!
	🏝 9:47pm Kristine: well anyway i am hogging the chat with this cat bidness, but i am looking forward to it!
	9:48pm DJ Babs: It's like riding a bicycle! ;-)
	🏝 9:48pm Kristine: ↳ DJ Babs @9:48 tis true!
	9:49pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Kristine @9:47 I'm confident the chat would jump in with other non-cat business if it wished to.
	🏝 9:49pm Kristine: oh siouxsie!
