	👻 9:03pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Giving Everything For Xmas Part I" by "univac & A... In the style of "Quiet Please," and, "Light's Out," this is a little Holiday Horror, for you.
	👻 9:03pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:02 Webhamster Henry! Wonderful to see you in the Digital Salon.
	9:03pm univac: Hello, there.
	9:04pm Imaginos: ↳ univac @9:03 Ahoy, Univac!
	👻 9:04pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @9:03 univac! My co-conspirator in this project! Thanks again for helping me with this one, univac!
	👻 9:04pm Austin Rich: For all things univac, here's a good link to check out. I really love the artbook that he has for sale! linktr.ee...
	9:05pm univac: This was such a fun project! And, has become a Holiday Classic across the 7 Galaxies!
	9:05pm Mr Fab: Noooo...my "acting"...Apologies to everyone!
	9:05pm univac: ↳ Austin Rich @9:04 Aw, thanks, Austin!
	👻 9:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @9:05 Every year, I hear!
	👻 9:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:05 You and Georgy Girl Nailed it! You did great.
	9:05pm univac: ↳ Mr Fab @9:05 You did great!
	9:07pm univac: I've gotta split for a bit. Be back soon!
	👻 9:08pm Austin Rich: "No wonder you're the highest paid DJ in the tri-county area." I don't know why, but I really love the idea of "the tri-county area." Like... its such a strange relic of a different time.
	👻 9:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @9:07 See ya soon!
	👻 9:12pm Austin Rich: This version of "Giving Everything For X-Mas" is more or less like the one I aired last year on Mid-Valley Mutations, with a few small tweaks. I did a slight "remaster," but really, it probably doesn't sound much different, unless you have eagle ears. Mostly, I changed up the music breaks between parts of the story, and added some new music, which I'll talk about more when we get there. Hopefully it all makes the flow work a little better this year.
	👻 9:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Nobody Knows When You're Down and Out" by "Louis ... With the election, this song feels a little too "On The Nose."
	9:13pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:12 I agree
	9:13pm Mr Fab: I remember this episode last year, getting sucked into the story. Was listeing for laffs and music, but the story actually got pretty interesting.
	👻 9:13pm Austin Rich: This is a real excerpt of a radio show I did with das and Ninah, from Big City Orchestra, the time I actually met them in their studio.
	👻 9:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:13 That's how I feel when I listen to "Quiet Please" or "Light's Out." I think I can just listen casually, and then I get sucked into the story.
	9:16pm Mr Fab: "Santa Counts To 1 Million With His Elves" hahaha!
	👻 9:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:16 I should probably try to make "Emmet Otter's Deathcore X-Mas," someday.
	9:17pm David The Splatter: ↳ Song: "Giving Everything For Xmas Part II" by "univac & ... I don't know why, but "Santa Claus Counts to One Million" sounds like something that would run on FMU in the overnight hours many years ago.
	9:17pm Imaginos: ↳ Mr Fab @9:16 Some Australian wrote the numbers one to one million as words it took 16 years
	👻 9:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ David The Splatter @9:17 I think that's two votes for me to actually produce that one.
	👻 9:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:17 Hopefully that was voluntary, and not some kind of punishment.
	9:22pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:20 I believe it was indeed voluntary.
	👻 9:24pm Austin Rich: That phone call sample is from the Rockford Files.
	9:25pm David The Splatter: I've gotta split, I'm gonna grab this in the morning for the bus ride to work. Thanks, Austin!
	👻 9:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ David The Splatter @9:25 No sweat, David! See ya next time!
	👻 9:27pm Austin Rich: This is a real excerpt from a holiday show I did in the 90's, at KWVA, when I was a DJ there. You can't really hear it well here, but I'm reading a Robert Service poem.
	👻 9:30pm Austin Rich: "Let's do lunch." Someday, I do hope to have lunch with Mr. Fab.
	👻 9:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Christmas Plutonia Style" by "Imaginos" This is a Christmas song written by Imaginos, from the Digital Salon!
	9:32pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:31 Thank you for playing the song
	👻 9:32pm Austin Rich: There will be two more songs written by Imaginos in hour two!
	👻 9:34pm Austin Rich: If I understand correctly: Imaginos wrote the lyrics to this song, and suno.com wrote the music. Is that right?
	9:34pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:34 That is correct
	9:35pm Webhamster Henry: Suno spits em out! Ken played one of mine on his show this week. (well, I added some tracks to it)
	👻 9:35pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Christmas Plutonia Style" by "Imaginos" To understand this song, must I read the 1924 Russian s-f novel?
	9:37pm Imaginos: ↳ David Shortell @9:35 No. You should listen to the Imaginos Trilogy by Albert Bouchard, since the Plutonia in question is the land ruled by Desdinova
	👻 9:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @9:35 David! Lovely to see you in the Digital Salon.
	👻 9:38pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @9:27 "The Cremation of Sam McGee"?
	👻 9:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @9:38 Absolutely! My Grandfather, and then my father, would read that when we would go camping, and we all started to call for that poem when we'd get together as family. He's got some other good ones, but they're not all that good.
	👻 9:40pm Austin Rich: The backing music here is borrowed from a John Carpenter soundtrack.
	👻 9:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:37 Do you think Albert would do an interview with us, about his career? He's done a TON of stuff over the years, and you seem to know him pretty well.
	9:46pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:42 He just did an interview recently on another station, so he does do interviews, but recently he mentioned stepping back from the limelight and wanting to work out what he wants to . lets wait until after the New Year before approaching him. But I think he would.
	👻 9:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:46 Very cool. I wouldn't mind hearing him talk about playing drums for the Dictators.
	👻 9:48pm Austin Rich: I'm a sucker for Mr. Wonder. Some of his records are just incredible.
	👻 9:49pm Heather Z: Tuned in 8 mins late, darn it, but I've been here since and I'm LOVING the show! Imaginos! I caught your song! Great stuff!!!
	9:52pm Imaginos: ↳ Heather Z @9:49 Btw, on Amazon look up Albert and the Sleigh Riders
	👻 9:52pm Heather Z: ↳ Imaginos @9:52 I'll write it down!
	9:52pm Imaginos: ↳ Heather Z @9:49 Thank you
	👻 9:54pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @9:39 There was a band here in NJ called Strange Things Done In The Midnight Sun. reverbnation.com...
	9:56pm Imaginos: ↳ Heather Z @9:52 Some of Bouchard's rarer songs
	👻 9:57pm Heather Z: ↳ Imaginos @9:56 Fabulous!!
	9:58pm Webhamster Henry: I've probably already told you about my Large Language project: largelanguage.bandcamp.com
	9:58pm univac: I'm back! Sorry had a meeting
	10:00pm Imaginos: ↳ univac @9:58 Welcome back
	👻 10:04pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @9:58 You are a workin' man!
	10:05pm univac: ↳ Austin Rich @10:04 Yes, it never ends when you run your own business...
	10:06pm univac: So are these AI songs?
	👻 10:06pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @10:05 Hopefully it pays to run your own business?
	10:06pm univac: ↳ Austin Rich @10:06 Sometimes, it does.
	👻 10:06pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @10:06 These songs have lyrics written by Imaginos, with music by suno.com.
	10:07pm Imaginos: ↳ univac @10:06 The lyrics are by me, but the music and singing are AI
	10:07pm JM in Texas: Merry Hello One & All!!! So I was just listening via the WFMU app, not signed in or paying attention to playlist……but I glacé at my phone and see it’s by, Imaginos??? Is this correct???
	10:07pm univac: ↳ Imaginos @10:07 Crazy! They're pretty good!
	👻 10:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "A Cowboy's Christmas Song" by "Leon McAuliffe & H... I still want to do my vintage country Christmas show someday. Just need to collect another hour of material and I think I can get there.
	10:08pm Imaginos: ↳ JM in Texas @10:07 Yes, I wrote lyrics
	10:09pm JM in Texas: ↳ Imaginos @10:08 Awesomeness……talk about a Christmas treat!!!
	👻 10:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ JM in Texas @10:07 Always lovely to see you in the chat, JM!
	10:09pm Imaginos: ↳ JM in Texas @10:09 Thank you
	👻 10:11pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:06 So super cool!! And everyone knows I'm a sucker for songs about cats!
	10:12pm JM in Texas: ↳ Austin Rich @10:09 Thx, Austin……loving this Country Christmas. My grandparents are buried in the same cemetery as Tex Ritter here in the Southeast corner of Texas.
	10:13pm univac: Hello, Heather!
	👻 10:13pm David Shortell: ↳ JM in Texas @10:12 Was John Ritter buried there too?
	👻 10:13pm Austin Rich: univac and I have a monthly show that we do, as part of our work with Big City Orchestra. Those projects are under the guise of, "The Fourth Sunday Players," and we make a sort of improv-sci-fi-comedy, a la Firesign Theater. It's very idiosyncratic and fun. Here's a link: archive.org...
	10:13pm univac: "Cortiscoop"!
	10:14pm Imaginos: One thing you learn from watching the Twilight Zone is to always check the calendar
	👻 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ JM in Texas @10:12 Oh, wow! That's pretty cool.
	👻 10:15pm Heather Z: ↳ univac @10:13 Hi univac!! Great stuff you and Austin have done here! (As yall always do!!)
	👻 10:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:14 It's about that time of year: to watch a hundred Twilight Zone episodes and really... zone out.
	10:16pm univac: ↳ Song: "Giving Everything For Xmas Part IV" by "univac & ... Those photos are Austin and I when we were kids. Mine is when I was a short-term Scout, mounted on wood, as they did in the 70s.
	👻 10:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:15 Thank you. I think univac really helped me take this one to the next level.
	10:17pm univac: ↳ Heather Z @10:15 Thanks! Super fun to do! And, Austin is great to work with.
	10:17pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:15 Indeed. Midnight Sun, To Serve Man, and Nothing in the Dark are my favorites
	👻 10:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @10:16 If I understand correctly, my mom took that photo to send to family, posing me sort of like the kids underwear models you would see in Sears catalogs back in the day.
	10:17pm JM in Texas: ↳ David Shortell @10:13 No, believe he is buried in California. But his family has had a long time hardware store/lumberyard here in town. Also a few family members are involved in State politics.
	10:18pm Mr Fab: Haha, what was that, “Frankenstein Xmas in the Old West”?
	10:18pm univac: ↳ Austin Rich @10:17 Haha!!
	👻 10:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:18 Yes! I need to make that one someday.
	👻 10:18pm David Shortell: ↳ Imaginos @9:37 Somehow I never got converted to the Blue Öyster Cult cult. Which songs did Michael Moorcock write the words for?
	👻 10:19pm Heather Z: ↳ univac @10:17 Yall make an awesome team, that's for sure!
	👻 10:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:18 You're thinking about Hawkwind.
	10:20pm JM in Texas: ↳ Heather Z @10:11 Hello Heather Z……probably preaching to the choir but were you aware Arvo Zylo’s NoPartOfIt released a various artist CD regarding cats: nopartofit.bandcamp.com...
	10:20pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:19 Albert Bouchard is a fan of Moorcock.
	👻 10:20pm Austin Rich: "C. Actually Helped The Puppy" is an old Blasphuphmus reference, the fake religion me and my friends made in the 90's.
	👻 10:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ JM in Texas @10:20 I think I'm on that one!
	👻 10:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:20 Ahhh! That makes sense now!
	10:21pm Imaginos: Black Blade was by Moorcock
	👻 10:22pm Austin Rich: More Rockford Files phone rings.
	👻 10:23pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:20 Is Blasphuphmus anything like Bokononism?
	10:24pm univac: Well, thanks Austin for streaming this again! Super cool to hear again. A new Galactic Family Tradition! I gotta go eat some food now. Until next time!
	👻 10:24pm Heather Z: ↳ JM in Texas @10:20 Hi JM in Texas! Wow no Arvo hadn't mentioned this to me! Thank you for cluing me in!!
	10:24pm Imaginos: Getting sleepy. Tonight's show is awesome.
	👻 10:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:23 Ha! Not really. It was mostly inspired by the SubGenius.
	👻 10:24pm Austin Rich: Real Number Stations Samples!
	👻 10:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:24 Thank you for the songs! Sleep well!
	👻 10:25pm Heather Z: ↳ Imaginos @10:24 Good night, Imaginos! Get a good rest!
	10:26pm JM in Texas: ↳ Austin Rich @10:20 Indeed you are!! ……and I’m all for more Rockford Files phone rings 😎
	👻 10:26pm David Shortell: ↳ Imaginos @10:21 Written about Elric's Stormbringer, natch.
	10:26pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:24 RA1 channel 4? I heard it on a payphone once back in 83
	👻 10:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:26 I wanted to make that reference, but I couldn't actually remember if that was the right character.
	10:27pm JM in Texas: ↳ Imaginos @10:24 Goodnight, Imaginos……hope you have a great week!
	10:27pm Imaginos: ↳ JM in Texas @10:27 Goodnight
	👻 10:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ JM in Texas @10:26 It's got a name, too! The Universal Telephone Ring. It's a generic SFX cue that shows up in Ghostbusters, and almost every 70's NBC show.
	👻 10:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:26 I think that bit I used in the show was cut together from a few different Number Stations. I took the samples from this CD set: www.discogs.com...
	👻 10:33pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:28 Ghostbusters (starring Larry Storch and Forrest Tucker) was a 70's CBS show!
	👻 10:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:33 Ha! I remember that one. But I think the telephone ring was only in the movie, not that show.
	10:35pm Mr Fab: Wonder if we can get Station Mgr Ken to broadcast a WFMU numbers station over shortwave?
	👻 10:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:35 Maybe, if we all contributed voices?
	👻 10:39pm Austin Rich: If univac is still in the Digital Salon: have we had any tech people fact-check our story? How much of it is actually possible, and how much is just Sci-Fi?
	👻 10:40pm Austin Rich: (I feel like that line gets fuzzier and fuzzier as I get older and / or drunk.)
	👻 10:40pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:27 One of the few Moorcock novels I read was "Elric of Melniboné" (1972). It wasn't the first Elric work published, but it told the beginning of his story. Then in 2004 he wrote even earlier events of his life in “Elric: Making of a Sorcerer”, illustrated by Walter Simonson.
	👻 10:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:40 Oh! My! That actually sounds good. I like Simonson's style.
	👻 10:42pm Austin Rich: "A la Joyce." Like Don Joyce, from Negativland.
	👻 10:44pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:42 They had earlier worked together on the 12-issue series “Michael Moorcock's Multiverse”.
	👻 10:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:44 Oh! I should probably check that out, too. So many comics to read...
	👻 10:47pm Austin Rich: I just bought some VERY cheap collections of 70's era Justice Society stories... because that was one of the first comics I ever read as a kid, and I'm wondering if they were actually any good. (I'm guess no, but the price was just cheap enough that it didn't feel like a waste of cash.)
	👻 10:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Stick 'Em Up, Santa" by "Bobby Salvatore" Well, it seems as if that one was VERY popular in the Digital Salon.
	10:49pm JM in Texas: Austin, tonight has been a treat! Time for me to head off for work, goodnight everyone!
	👻 10:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ JM in Texas @10:49 Sleep well, JM! See ya next time!
	👻 10:50pm Austin Rich: An incredible number of stories I've written all take place in different parts of Rockland County.
	👻 10:51pm Austin Rich: Looks like we'll go over by about two and half minutes. Sorry everyone!
	👻 10:52pm Heather Z: ↳ JM in Texas @10:49 Good night, JM! Thanks for the album recommendation!!
	👻 10:53pm Austin Rich: I played a Giant Rutabaga in an animated Kids Movie a friend of mine made: www.imdb.com...
	👻 10:55pm Austin Rich: Douglas Adams reference, take a drink!
	👻 10:56pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:50 "For all you JERK-OFFS in Rockland County", as Glen Jones says.
	👻 10:58pm Austin Rich: univac and I collaborated on this ending production piece, but I have to admit: he did the lion's share of the work on it, and it sounds as good as it does because of his work.
	👻 10:59pm Austin Rich: Thanks everyone for listening! Happy Holidays from Dimestore Radio Theater!
	👻 11:00pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:58 The whole show has been a lovely listen. Super great. Have a wonderful night or day, everyone!
	👻 11:00pm Austin Rich: Little Max Headroom tic there, right at the end.
	11:00pm Mr Fab: Be seeing you!
	11:00pm Webhamster Henry: Well that was fun! Lots of production work!
	👻 11:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @11:00 I had fun! At least, that's how I like to spend my time: cutting and editing.

	9:07pm univac: I've gotta split for a bit. Be back soon!
	👻 9:08pm Austin Rich: "No wonder you're the highest paid DJ in the tri-county area." I don't know why, but I really love the idea of "the tri-county area." Like... its such a strange relic of a different time.

	9:16pm Mr Fab: "Santa Counts To 1 Million With His Elves" hahaha!
	👻 9:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:16 I should probably try to make "Emmet Otter's Deathcore X-Mas," someday.
	9:17pm David The Splatter: ↳ Song: "Giving Everything For Xmas Part II" by "univac & ... I don't know why, but "Santa Claus Counts to One Million" sounds like something that would run on FMU in the overnight hours many years ago.
	9:17pm Imaginos: ↳ Mr Fab @9:16 Some Australian wrote the numbers one to one million as words it took 16 years
	👻 9:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ David The Splatter @9:17 I think that's two votes for me to actually produce that one.
	👻 9:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:17 Hopefully that was voluntary, and not some kind of punishment.
	9:22pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:20 I believe it was indeed voluntary.
	👻 9:24pm Austin Rich: That phone call sample is from the Rockford Files.
	9:25pm David The Splatter: I've gotta split, I'm gonna grab this in the morning for the bus ride to work. Thanks, Austin!
	👻 9:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ David The Splatter @9:25 No sweat, David! See ya next time!
	👻 9:27pm Austin Rich: This is a real excerpt from a holiday show I did in the 90's, at KWVA, when I was a DJ there. You can't really hear it well here, but I'm reading a Robert Service poem.
	👻 9:30pm Austin Rich: "Let's do lunch." Someday, I do hope to have lunch with Mr. Fab.
	👻 9:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Christmas Plutonia Style" by "Imaginos" This is a Christmas song written by Imaginos, from the Digital Salon!
	9:32pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:31 Thank you for playing the song
	👻 9:32pm Austin Rich: There will be two more songs written by Imaginos in hour two!
	👻 9:34pm Austin Rich: If I understand correctly: Imaginos wrote the lyrics to this song, and suno.com wrote the music. Is that right?
	9:34pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:34 That is correct
	9:35pm Webhamster Henry: Suno spits em out! Ken played one of mine on his show this week. (well, I added some tracks to it)
	👻 9:35pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Christmas Plutonia Style" by "Imaginos" To understand this song, must I read the 1924 Russian s-f novel?
	9:37pm Imaginos: ↳ David Shortell @9:35 No. You should listen to the Imaginos Trilogy by Albert Bouchard, since the Plutonia in question is the land ruled by Desdinova
	👻 9:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @9:35 David! Lovely to see you in the Digital Salon.
	👻 9:38pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @9:27 "The Cremation of Sam McGee"?
	👻 9:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @9:38 Absolutely! My Grandfather, and then my father, would read that when we would go camping, and we all started to call for that poem when we'd get together as family. He's got some other good ones, but they're not all that good.
	👻 9:40pm Austin Rich: The backing music here is borrowed from a John Carpenter soundtrack.
	👻 9:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:37 Do you think Albert would do an interview with us, about his career? He's done a TON of stuff over the years, and you seem to know him pretty well.
	9:46pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:42 He just did an interview recently on another station, so he does do interviews, but recently he mentioned stepping back from the limelight and wanting to work out what he wants to . lets wait until after the New Year before approaching him. But I think he would.
	👻 9:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:46 Very cool. I wouldn't mind hearing him talk about playing drums for the Dictators.
	👻 9:48pm Austin Rich: I'm a sucker for Mr. Wonder. Some of his records are just incredible.
	👻 9:49pm Heather Z: Tuned in 8 mins late, darn it, but I've been here since and I'm LOVING the show! Imaginos! I caught your song! Great stuff!!!
	9:52pm Imaginos: ↳ Heather Z @9:49 Btw, on Amazon look up Albert and the Sleigh Riders
	👻 9:52pm Heather Z: ↳ Imaginos @9:52 I'll write it down!
	9:52pm Imaginos: ↳ Heather Z @9:49 Thank you
	👻 9:54pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @9:39 There was a band here in NJ called Strange Things Done In The Midnight Sun. reverbnation.com...
	9:56pm Imaginos: ↳ Heather Z @9:52 Some of Bouchard's rarer songs
	👻 9:57pm Heather Z: ↳ Imaginos @9:56 Fabulous!!
	9:58pm Webhamster Henry: I've probably already told you about my Large Language project: largelanguage.bandcamp.com
	9:58pm univac: I'm back! Sorry had a meeting
	10:00pm Imaginos: ↳ univac @9:58 Welcome back
	👻 10:04pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @9:58 You are a workin' man!
	10:05pm univac: ↳ Austin Rich @10:04 Yes, it never ends when you run your own business...
	10:06pm univac: So are these AI songs?
	👻 10:06pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @10:05 Hopefully it pays to run your own business?
	10:06pm univac: ↳ Austin Rich @10:06 Sometimes, it does.
	👻 10:06pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @10:06 These songs have lyrics written by Imaginos, with music by suno.com.
	10:07pm Imaginos: ↳ univac @10:06 The lyrics are by me, but the music and singing are AI
	10:07pm JM in Texas: Merry Hello One & All!!! So I was just listening via the WFMU app, not signed in or paying attention to playlist……but I glacé at my phone and see it’s by, Imaginos??? Is this correct???
	10:07pm univac: ↳ Imaginos @10:07 Crazy! They're pretty good!
	👻 10:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "A Cowboy's Christmas Song" by "Leon McAuliffe & H... I still want to do my vintage country Christmas show someday. Just need to collect another hour of material and I think I can get there.
	10:08pm Imaginos: ↳ JM in Texas @10:07 Yes, I wrote lyrics
	10:09pm JM in Texas: ↳ Imaginos @10:08 Awesomeness……talk about a Christmas treat!!!
	👻 10:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ JM in Texas @10:07 Always lovely to see you in the chat, JM!
	10:09pm Imaginos: ↳ JM in Texas @10:09 Thank you
	👻 10:11pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:06 So super cool!! And everyone knows I'm a sucker for songs about cats!
	10:12pm JM in Texas: ↳ Austin Rich @10:09 Thx, Austin……loving this Country Christmas. My grandparents are buried in the same cemetery as Tex Ritter here in the Southeast corner of Texas.
	10:13pm univac: Hello, Heather!
	👻 10:13pm David Shortell: ↳ JM in Texas @10:12 Was John Ritter buried there too?
	👻 10:13pm Austin Rich: univac and I have a monthly show that we do, as part of our work with Big City Orchestra. Those projects are under the guise of, "The Fourth Sunday Players," and we make a sort of improv-sci-fi-comedy, a la Firesign Theater. It's very idiosyncratic and fun. Here's a link: archive.org...
	10:13pm univac: "Cortiscoop"!
	10:14pm Imaginos: One thing you learn from watching the Twilight Zone is to always check the calendar
	👻 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ JM in Texas @10:12 Oh, wow! That's pretty cool.
	👻 10:15pm Heather Z: ↳ univac @10:13 Hi univac!! Great stuff you and Austin have done here! (As yall always do!!)
	👻 10:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:14 It's about that time of year: to watch a hundred Twilight Zone episodes and really... zone out.
	10:16pm univac: ↳ Song: "Giving Everything For Xmas Part IV" by "univac & ... Those photos are Austin and I when we were kids. Mine is when I was a short-term Scout, mounted on wood, as they did in the 70s.
	👻 10:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:15 Thank you. I think univac really helped me take this one to the next level.
	10:17pm univac: ↳ Heather Z @10:15 Thanks! Super fun to do! And, Austin is great to work with.
	10:17pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:15 Indeed. Midnight Sun, To Serve Man, and Nothing in the Dark are my favorites
	👻 10:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @10:16 If I understand correctly, my mom took that photo to send to family, posing me sort of like the kids underwear models you would see in Sears catalogs back in the day.
	10:17pm JM in Texas: ↳ David Shortell @10:13 No, believe he is buried in California. But his family has had a long time hardware store/lumberyard here in town. Also a few family members are involved in State politics.
	10:18pm Mr Fab: Haha, what was that, “Frankenstein Xmas in the Old West”?
	10:18pm univac: ↳ Austin Rich @10:17 Haha!!
	👻 10:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:18 Yes! I need to make that one someday.
	👻 10:18pm David Shortell: ↳ Imaginos @9:37 Somehow I never got converted to the Blue Öyster Cult cult. Which songs did Michael Moorcock write the words for?
	👻 10:19pm Heather Z: ↳ univac @10:17 Yall make an awesome team, that's for sure!
	👻 10:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:18 You're thinking about Hawkwind.
	10:20pm JM in Texas: ↳ Heather Z @10:11 Hello Heather Z……probably preaching to the choir but were you aware Arvo Zylo’s NoPartOfIt released a various artist CD regarding cats: nopartofit.bandcamp.com...
	10:20pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:19 Albert Bouchard is a fan of Moorcock.
	👻 10:20pm Austin Rich: "C. Actually Helped The Puppy" is an old Blasphuphmus reference, the fake religion me and my friends made in the 90's.
	👻 10:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ JM in Texas @10:20 I think I'm on that one!
	👻 10:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:20 Ahhh! That makes sense now!
	10:21pm Imaginos: Black Blade was by Moorcock
	👻 10:22pm Austin Rich: More Rockford Files phone rings.
	👻 10:23pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:20 Is Blasphuphmus anything like Bokononism?
	10:24pm univac: Well, thanks Austin for streaming this again! Super cool to hear again. A new Galactic Family Tradition! I gotta go eat some food now. Until next time!
	👻 10:24pm Heather Z: ↳ JM in Texas @10:20 Hi JM in Texas! Wow no Arvo hadn't mentioned this to me! Thank you for cluing me in!!
	10:24pm Imaginos: Getting sleepy. Tonight's show is awesome.
	👻 10:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:23 Ha! Not really. It was mostly inspired by the SubGenius.
	👻 10:24pm Austin Rich: Real Number Stations Samples!
	👻 10:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:24 Thank you for the songs! Sleep well!
	👻 10:25pm Heather Z: ↳ Imaginos @10:24 Good night, Imaginos! Get a good rest!
	10:26pm JM in Texas: ↳ Austin Rich @10:20 Indeed you are!! ……and I’m all for more Rockford Files phone rings 😎
	👻 10:26pm David Shortell: ↳ Imaginos @10:21 Written about Elric's Stormbringer, natch.
	10:26pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:24 RA1 channel 4? I heard it on a payphone once back in 83
	👻 10:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:26 I wanted to make that reference, but I couldn't actually remember if that was the right character.
	10:27pm JM in Texas: ↳ Imaginos @10:24 Goodnight, Imaginos……hope you have a great week!
	10:27pm Imaginos: ↳ JM in Texas @10:27 Goodnight
	👻 10:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ JM in Texas @10:26 It's got a name, too! The Universal Telephone Ring. It's a generic SFX cue that shows up in Ghostbusters, and almost every 70's NBC show.
	👻 10:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:26 I think that bit I used in the show was cut together from a few different Number Stations. I took the samples from this CD set: www.discogs.com...
	👻 10:33pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:28 Ghostbusters (starring Larry Storch and Forrest Tucker) was a 70's CBS show!
	👻 10:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:33 Ha! I remember that one. But I think the telephone ring was only in the movie, not that show.
	10:35pm Mr Fab: Wonder if we can get Station Mgr Ken to broadcast a WFMU numbers station over shortwave?
	👻 10:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:35 Maybe, if we all contributed voices?
	👻 10:39pm Austin Rich: If univac is still in the Digital Salon: have we had any tech people fact-check our story? How much of it is actually possible, and how much is just Sci-Fi?
	👻 10:40pm Austin Rich: (I feel like that line gets fuzzier and fuzzier as I get older and / or drunk.)
	👻 10:40pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:27 One of the few Moorcock novels I read was "Elric of Melniboné" (1972). It wasn't the first Elric work published, but it told the beginning of his story. Then in 2004 he wrote even earlier events of his life in “Elric: Making of a Sorcerer”, illustrated by Walter Simonson.
	👻 10:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:40 Oh! My! That actually sounds good. I like Simonson's style.
	👻 10:42pm Austin Rich: "A la Joyce." Like Don Joyce, from Negativland.
	👻 10:44pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:42 They had earlier worked together on the 12-issue series “Michael Moorcock's Multiverse”.
	👻 10:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:44 Oh! I should probably check that out, too. So many comics to read...
	👻 10:47pm Austin Rich: I just bought some VERY cheap collections of 70's era Justice Society stories... because that was one of the first comics I ever read as a kid, and I'm wondering if they were actually any good. (I'm guess no, but the price was just cheap enough that it didn't feel like a waste of cash.)
	👻 10:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Stick 'Em Up, Santa" by "Bobby Salvatore" Well, it seems as if that one was VERY popular in the Digital Salon.
	10:49pm JM in Texas: Austin, tonight has been a treat! Time for me to head off for work, goodnight everyone!
	👻 10:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ JM in Texas @10:49 Sleep well, JM! See ya next time!
	👻 10:50pm Austin Rich: An incredible number of stories I've written all take place in different parts of Rockland County.
	👻 10:51pm Austin Rich: Looks like we'll go over by about two and half minutes. Sorry everyone!
	👻 10:52pm Heather Z: ↳ JM in Texas @10:49 Good night, JM! Thanks for the album recommendation!!
	👻 10:53pm Austin Rich: I played a Giant Rutabaga in an animated Kids Movie a friend of mine made: www.imdb.com...
	👻 10:55pm Austin Rich: Douglas Adams reference, take a drink!
	👻 10:56pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:50 "For all you JERK-OFFS in Rockland County", as Glen Jones says.
	👻 10:58pm Austin Rich: univac and I collaborated on this ending production piece, but I have to admit: he did the lion's share of the work on it, and it sounds as good as it does because of his work.
	👻 10:59pm Austin Rich: Thanks everyone for listening! Happy Holidays from Dimestore Radio Theater!
	👻 11:00pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:58 The whole show has been a lovely listen. Super great. Have a wonderful night or day, everyone!
	👻 11:00pm Austin Rich: Little Max Headroom tic there, right at the end.
	11:00pm Mr Fab: Be seeing you!
	11:00pm Webhamster Henry: Well that was fun! Lots of production work!
	👻 11:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @11:00 I had fun! At least, that's how I like to spend my time: cutting and editing.
