	9:07pm Uncle Michael: Thanks for the kind praise. I played some Tabla Beat Science too!
	9:08pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:06 It really was. I don't have much of Zakir's non-Laswell related stuff so it was nice to hear.

	🥁 9:09pm WR: Hello Rich and folks. Dagnab pop up player paused at the end of AJH. Hate when it does that.
	9:09pm Rich in Washington: ↳ WR @9:09 Hi WR! I wonder why it does that?
	9:10pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:08 Yeah, for me, basically, a few Material albums, Tabla Beat Science and loads and loads of Laswell projects under more names than I can remember.
	9:11pm Rich in Washington: but was vaguely aware that he played with George Harrison and the Mickey Hart thing, which now I want to get ahold of.

	🥁 9:14pm Kat in the chat: Amazon strike live stream, oh wow
	9:14pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:13 Ha ha! Me too!
	🥁 9:14pm WR: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:09 No clue. A minor irritant. Sometimes several people might experience the pause but not listeners. Maybe in this case it was just me. I normally would not mention but due to my being slow to react I will have to wait until tomorrow (and hope the archive is OK) to hear what the Good Dream for a rug-free America is like.
	9:15pm tom tom the pipers son: i wonder... has the unabomber news cycled around again because of the killing health insurance CEO or because of who got elected ....does he, in a general way, resonate unabomber or some flip side version of him?
	🥁 9:15pm Kat in the chat: In other news, it's been snowing in Philly for an hour or so. Coming down pretty heavy, but it's too wet to stick to anything but cars.

	🥁 9:31pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:30 <3 Me and Donna Summer!
	🥁 9:33pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "A Mechanical Joey" by "Bill Orcutt" I have a recording Charlie Lewis made long before 2021 called "Dee Dee Ramone 1-2-3-4 x 50" that is 50 times of Dee Dee counting off, mostly from concert recordings. I play it on my show now and again. It's brilliant.
	9:33pm Bryan: hey all I recognized the name Zakir Hussain when I saw that he'd died, but wasn't sure where from. RIP Tabla Beat Science is always welcome.
	9:34pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:33 I made one of those years ago from every count-off from their It's Alive LP. I put it on Soundcloud. I wonder if that's it or maybe someone else had the same idea.
	9:35pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Bryan @9:33 I may play more later if time allows.
	🥁 9:36pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:34 It might be pretty damn close.

	🥁 9:45pm Kat in the chat: I heard that they ruined Audacity?
	9:46pm TonyR: ↳ Song: "Third Uncle" by "Eno" Bought a Bauhaus album as a poore college student just for their cover of this. Never knew it was a cover until now.
	9:47pm pot8o: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:45 it's definitely not as good as it once was, but i just grit my teeth and bear it if im not on my main computer that one has a version from a few years ago
	9:47pm Rich in Washington: I've been using this relatively bare-bones and simple editing DAW called OcenAdio. It's great for simple editing, chopping, exporting.
	9:48pm tom tom the pipers son: i just got up and did a third uncle dance i still gots it...mostly
	9:48pm TonyR: ↳ pot8o @9:47 Read the release notes and declined to upgrade for reasons I can't recall ATM.

	🥁 9:51pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:50 I haven't been doing much of that sort of thing, but if I start doing radio or mixes again any time soon, I will check that out.
	🥁 9:54pm Wendy del Formaggio: I'm not mixing anything at the moment, but I am making my current version of a mix tape (I mean, other than my radio show). The Wendomobile's stereo has a USB input, so I'm loading up a thumb drive with a bazillion songs for the drive to NJ tomorrow.
	🥁 9:55pm Kat in the chat: Have a safe and excellent trip!
	9:55pm TonyR: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:54 Come on. NJ doesn't require THAT MUCH lube.

	🥁 9:57pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:55 Thank you. I think it'll be a nice time. I'm looking forward to seeing my mom and nephew and having a happy holiday with them and NGH.

	🥁 10:08pm Kat in the chat: ↳ pot8o @10:08 good to know
	10:09pm Bryan: Well, that was interesting: choppy sound because my computer was about to die. Thought it was part of the music at first! :)

	10:09pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Bryan @10:09 The Radio Is Broken

	🥁 10:11pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ pot8o @10:07 I just put a Guy Klucevsek song and a Guru Guru song. I'm going through my external hard drive to pull songs from there. Upbeat stuff for driving.
	10:11pm ironybread: And Chevy Chase's shitter grew three sizes that day
	10:11pm Rich in Washington: stupid fucking CD doesn't have numbered tracks.
	10:11pm pot8o: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:11 both awesome picks!

	🥁 10:14pm Aitch: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:13 Fine tracks
	10:14pm Rich in Washington: CDs are the new vinyl records. I don't even look at records at Goodwill anymore, as they're usually garbage records no one wants. I go straight for the CD bins.
	🥁 10:15pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ pot8o @10:13 I definitely won't get that far. There might not be enough room on the thumb drive. And I hafta go to sleep soon.
	🥁 10:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Aitch @10:14 Agreed! I love H&O. I think the first cassette tape I bought when I was a kid was a H&O greatest hits tape. I mighta been 9.
	🥁 10:17pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:14 So true! Once in a great while I find a good LP, but generally the thrift store gems are CDs in my experience, too.
	🥁 10:18pm Wendy del Formaggio: I just put a Hamilton Bohannon track on the thumb drive. "Disco Stomp."
	10:18pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:17 Goodwill sends any good LPs to their online outlets so they rarely even hit the shop floors. The herd doesn't really want CDs yet, so they're very cheap and sometimes there's some great stuff there.
	🥁 10:20pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:18 nice
	10:21pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:18 usually why i stick to the mom and pop shops they're really good for books though
	10:22pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @10:21 We don't have very many in my town. Goodwill Industries, Inc. has pretty much decimated all of them.
	🥁 10:24pm Kat in the chat: Jingle bells, Shatner smells, fifteen miles away

	🥁 10:35pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Depressed Christmas" by "Culturcide" OMG! When I was 13 or 14 I remember hearing this on WFMU. Then I went to See/Hear looking for it, and the clerk didn't have it so he sold me the Culturcide LP which I wish I still had. Dang. This is an old memory! I'm old!
	🥁 10:37pm Wendy del Formaggio: Wild Man Fischer! Dang, Rich, you play all my faves! <3
	10:39pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Depressed Christmas" by "Culturcide" most of my culturcide i found on cdr on two of their shows I went to (except their tacky souvenirs album)

	🥁 10:40pm Kat in the chat: OMG Wendy, your Nancy with sugarplums in her head
	🥁 10:43pm Kat in the chat: I used to have a bunch of CDs of "dirty" Christmas music, that I gathered for a theme set at a bar. I got rid of some of them but I think I still have about six of them.
	10:43pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Jingle Bells (Punk Rock Version)" by "William Sha... Oh dear
	10:43pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:43 Oh wow!

	10:44pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:43 three lumps

	10:52pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @10:51 ha ha! I'm actually sort of trying to avoid repeating stuff I've played but sorta not.
	10:52pm ultradamno: How am I just learning Spike wrote a song about Dawn's feet "sparkling everywhere"? www.syfy.com...
	🥁 10:53pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Santa Claus Goes Modern" by "Rodd Rogers & The Li... In an old issue of LCD (WFMU's program guide zine) there was a great story about Rodd Keith. I can't remember who wrote it, but I think it's someone I know.
	10:53pm ultradamno: (by the way, see my post @9:04 for Nancy)
	10:53pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:51 are you possibly doing radio again in your town, Kat?
	10:54pm northguineahills: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:51 wow, kat, you just three-upped me w/ jealousy w/ those rekkids!
	🥁 10:54pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:53 I don't know who'd have me here.
	10:55pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:53 she should do a philly-fill-in!

	10:57pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @10:55 Indeed!
	10:57pm northguineahills: ↳ ironybread @10:55 i keep on forgetting that's an option!

	11:02pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:01 Oh yeah! I love MST's takes on both the Mexican Santa Claus film and Santa Claus vs The Martians. Essential holiday viewing.
	🥁 11:02pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ ironybread @11:00 Divine's delivery on the line "What are THESE?!?" alone shoulda won her a Golden Globe.

	🥁 11:06pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Christmas Rush" by "Dead Moon" I saw this CD in the bins a lot in the 90s and never picked it up. Surprisingly, as I have several that are in a similar vein.

	11:35pm coelacanth∅: Rich, what's the address for ordering that dog-santa outfit? ...it's actually for me, but well, it's the Right Price
	11:36pm coelacanth∅: ↳ northguineahills @11:33 if you eat enough scoobysnacks you forget all about the van
	11:41pm ultradamno: Saw these too late to add to the Echo Beach talkback mastodon.social...
	11:41pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:31 knowing the band i just assumed it was just the song
	11:43pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Merry Crassmas" by "C.R.A.S.S." The one with the The Exploited single giveaway contest on the cover.
	🥁 11:44pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Merry Crassmas" by "C.R.A.S.S." A chirpy little number
	11:44pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @11:43 (same year as Exploited put out a live record with a live stage banter shot at Crass)
	11:44pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @11:43 Yep. First prize: one Exploited single. Second prize: two Exploited singles
	11:45pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "The Killer Trees Pt.2" by "Saturday Night Live cast" Zappa has gone done by consensus as one of the worst ever SNL hosts...but that was funny
	11:46pm ultradamno: gone *down, rather
	11:47pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @11:44 Funnily enough, I bought both those records around the same time and was imagining the animosity between those two bands. Also, Chaotic Discord, who made numerous potshots at Crass on one of their (horrible) LPs.
	11:48pm ultradamno: When I saw GBH, I remember someone asking them about Crass and they were similarly dismissive.
	11:48pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @11:48 Colin from GBH was a surprisingly nice and charming fellow in person.
	11:51pm ultradamno: They were weird around me and my friends (while we were all in an upstairs office space at that venue), because we had shaved heads...I think they were expecting us to be more like what they got at home from people who looked like that.

	🥁 11:57pm Aitch: Thanks Rich, happy season.

	11:58pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @11:57 Thanks, Aitch! All the best to you and your family!
	11:59pm Rich in Washington: Love the story about how the guy who wrote Winchester Cathedral tried to hire the Bonzos as the touring band behind that dubious hit record and they refused, so they formed a fake traveling band called the New Vaudeville Band.
	12:00am ironybread: #Trousers
	🥁 12:00am Kat in the chat: Thank you Rich! Themes are fine sometimes.

The Radio Is Broken with Rich In Washington: Playlist from December 20, 2024

View Rich in Washington's profile

The Radio Is Broken is a three-hour spelunk through the canyons and fissures of humanity's collective unconscious. It sounds as if a field recording of the Culture Industry were a sonic juggernaut barreling down a rickety track—except that tunnel ahead is just painted onto a sheer cliff wall. With occasional forays into what might pass for "normal" music. Prerequisite journey: Cratedigger's Lung

	🥁 10:08pm Kat in the chat: ↳ pot8o @10:08 good to know
	10:09pm Bryan: Well, that was interesting: choppy sound because my computer was about to die. Thought it was part of the music at first! :)
	🥁 10:09pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ pot8o @10:07 Well there's 153 of them so far. Where should I begin? haha
	10:09pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Bryan @10:09 The Radio Is Broken

	10:11pm ironybread: And Chevy Chase's shitter grew three sizes that day
	10:11pm Rich in Washington: stupid fucking CD doesn't have numbered tracks.
	10:11pm pot8o: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:11 both awesome picks!

	🥁 10:14pm Aitch: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:13 Fine tracks
	10:14pm Rich in Washington: CDs are the new vinyl records. I don't even look at records at Goodwill anymore, as they're usually garbage records no one wants. I go straight for the CD bins.
	🥁 10:15pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ pot8o @10:13 I definitely won't get that far. There might not be enough room on the thumb drive. And I hafta go to sleep soon.
	🥁 10:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Aitch @10:14 Agreed! I love H&O. I think the first cassette tape I bought when I was a kid was a H&O greatest hits tape. I mighta been 9.
	🥁 10:17pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:14 So true! Once in a great while I find a good LP, but generally the thrift store gems are CDs in my experience, too.
	🥁 10:18pm Wendy del Formaggio: I just put a Hamilton Bohannon track on the thumb drive. "Disco Stomp."
	10:18pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:17 Goodwill sends any good LPs to their online outlets so they rarely even hit the shop floors. The herd doesn't really want CDs yet, so they're very cheap and sometimes there's some great stuff there.
	🥁 10:20pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:18 nice
	10:21pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:18 usually why i stick to the mom and pop shops they're really good for books though
	10:22pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @10:21 We don't have very many in my town. Goodwill Industries, Inc. has pretty much decimated all of them.

	🥁 10:53pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Santa Claus Goes Modern" by "Rodd Rogers & The Li... In an old issue of LCD (WFMU's program guide zine) there was a great story about Rodd Keith. I can't remember who wrote it, but I think it's someone I know.
	10:53pm ultradamno: (by the way, see my post @9:04 for Nancy)
	10:53pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:51 are you possibly doing radio again in your town, Kat?
	10:54pm northguineahills: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:51 wow, kat, you just three-upped me w/ jealousy w/ those rekkids!
	🥁 10:54pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:53 I don't know who'd have me here.

	🥁 11:00pm Aitch: Haven't seen Otis about?
	🥁 11:01pm Wendy del Formaggio: The absolute best Christmas scene in movies ever, maybe even better than that Mexican one about Santa Claus and martians or whatever.
	11:01pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @11:00 It's super late for him.
	11:02pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:01 Oh yeah! I love MST's takes on both the Mexican Santa Claus film and Santa Claus vs The Martians. Essential holiday viewing.
	🥁 11:02pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ ironybread @11:00 Divine's delivery on the line "What are THESE?!?" alone shoulda won her a Golden Globe.

	🥁 11:06pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Christmas Rush" by "Dead Moon" I saw this CD in the bins a lot in the 90s and never picked it up. Surprisingly, as I have several that are in a similar vein.
	🥁 11:06pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Aitch @11:04 "I'd be so proud if you was Queer! The world of the heterosexual is a sick and boring life."

	11:35pm coelacanth∅: Rich, what's the address for ordering that dog-santa outfit? ...it's actually for me, but well, it's the Right Price
	11:36pm coelacanth∅: ↳ northguineahills @11:33 if you eat enough scoobysnacks you forget all about the van

	11:44pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @11:43 Yep. First prize: one Exploited single. Second prize: two Exploited singles
	11:45pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "The Killer Trees Pt.2" by "Saturday Night Live cast" Zappa has gone done by consensus as one of the worst ever SNL hosts...but that was funny
	11:46pm ultradamno: gone *down, rather
	11:47pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @11:44 Funnily enough, I bought both those records around the same time and was imagining the animosity between those two bands. Also, Chaotic Discord, who made numerous potshots at Crass on one of their (horrible) LPs.
	11:48pm ultradamno: When I saw GBH, I remember someone asking them about Crass and they were similarly dismissive.
	11:48pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @11:48 Colin from GBH was a surprisingly nice and charming fellow in person.
	11:51pm ultradamno: They were weird around me and my friends (while we were all in an upstairs office space at that venue), because we had shaved heads...I think they were expecting us to be more like what they got at home from people who looked like that.
	11:52pm ultradamno: They sort of stayed huddled up way across the room and kept quiet
	11:54pm pot8o: is it just me or is the playlist not updating?

	11:56pm Rich in Washington: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:55 anytime. Always ready to de-cheer people.
	🥁 11:57pm Aitch: Thanks Rich, happy season.
	11:57pm ultradamno: I always wondered if the Wall Of Voodoo dog was Bonzo inspired
	11:57pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Top Gear, November 8, 1967: The Craig Torso Chris... bonzo dog band took cues from the beatles i guess!
	11:58pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @11:57 Thanks, Aitch! All the best to you and your family!
	11:59pm Rich in Washington: Love the story about how the guy who wrote Winchester Cathedral tried to hire the Bonzos as the touring band behind that dubious hit record and they refused, so they formed a fake traveling band called the New Vaudeville Band.
	12:00am ironybread: #Trousers
	🥁 12:00am Kat in the chat: Thank you Rich! Themes are fine sometimes.
	12:00am Rich in Washington: The Bonzos inspired the best music magazine ever, Trouser Press.

	12:01am Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @12:00 They're OK. I just sometimes don't think I'm up to it or that I don't have the focus to devote a whole show to one theme/subject/artist/salad dressing etc.

	🥁 12:02am WR: Thank you! Rich! Laters folks.
	12:02am coelacanth∅: Thanks Rich!
	🥁 12:02am Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @12:01 Three hours of a theme is a lot. I did a thematic show but it was just an hour.
	12:04am ultradamno: Speaking of big boxes, Waxworks is putting out the orig Texas Chainsaw score with vinyl, cassette, CD, slipmat and tote waxworkrecords.com...
	12:04am coelacanth∅: Happy santamas
