Delta 5	Mind Your Own Business - Featuring Monnei Lamar (Remix)	Singles & Sessions 1979-81	Kill Rock Stars	1979 / 2006	"Delta 5 was an English post-punk band from Leeds... formed from the same art school scene at Leeds University as Gang of Four and The Mekons. The original members of Delta 5, Julz Sale (vocals/guitar), Ros Allen (bass) and Bethan Peters (bass), formed the band "on a lark", but soon became a part of the thriving Leeds post-punk scene, and later added Kelvin Knight on drums and Alan Riggs on guitar, both of whom also played in Dead Beats. Combining feminist politics with a two-bass funk-punk sound (much in the style of another, more famous Leeds band, Gang of Four), they released their debut single "Mind Your Own Business" in 1979. //// The members of Delta 5 were important figures in the Rock Against Racism movement and were the subject of a highly publicised assault at the hands of a right-wing group affiliated with rival movement Rock Against Communism. //// After the release of second single "You", the band went on a successful tour of the United States, and soon thereafter left Rough Trade for Charisma Records imprint Pre. They recorded their debut album See the Whirl, which suffered from overly clean production and received low marks both critically and commercially. Due to the commercial disappointment of the album, the group disbanded. //// Post-breakup --- Apart from bassist Bethan Peters playing on Fun Boy Three's second album Waiting and performing with them live to support its release, the members of Delta 5 were mostly musically inactive. Meanwhile, Delta 5's recorded output was finding a posthumous fan base internationally. The band Shonen Knife recorded a cover version of "You" with Japanese lyrics and renamed "Saboten" ("Cactus") for their 1982 debut album Minna Tanoshiku. //// In 2006, Kill Rock Stars released a compilation of early Delta 5 material titled Singles & Sessions 1979-1981, capitalising on the re-emerging popularity of post-punk bands such as Gang of Four and Wire. The set included unreleased material, along with BBC radio sessions and live cuts. //// Delta 5 drummer Kelvin Knight died on 2 December 2015 from liver and kidney failure at the age of 56. Singer and guitarist Julz Sale died from cancer in Thailand on 20 September 2021. //// Legacy: Long after Delta 5's existence, "Mind Your Own Business" has remained the band's most enduring song, having been covered by Chicks on Speed, Le Shok, R. Stevie Moore, Pigface and Dum Dum Girls. The song was featured in episode 5 of the series Sex Education in January 2019, an episode of the 2020 BBC TV series The A Word, and in an Apple commercial in 2021."	0:04:41 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Marc Riley WIth The Creepers	Hole 4 A Soul	Shadow Figure 12"	In Tape Records	1984	Recorded at Studio 5, Maida Vale for John Peel show. Released by arrangement with B.B.C. Records. "Marc Riley (born in Manchester, Lancashire, England, 10 July 1961) is a British musician, alternative rock critic and radio DJ on BBC Radio 6 Music. Formerly a member of the Fall, he had his own record label, In-Tape, and also formed Marc Riley And The Creepers (also known as Marc Riley With The Creepers and later on simply called The Creepers). The Creepers were: Marc Riley (Guitar/Vocals), Eddie Fenn (Drums), Paul Fletcher (Guitar), Pete Keogh (Bass) Paul Fletcher and Pete Keogh were later replaced by Mark Tilton on Guitar and Phil Roberts on Bass. The records they made were full of hard hitting humour and remained as opinionated as those of Riley`s former Boss Mark E. Smith (who apparently wrote the sarcastic Middle Class about Riley). Riley also contributed to a flexidisc single for the Oink! comic under the name of The Oinkletts in 1986. Marc eventually split up The Creepers in 1987 after having got nearly no commercial success. Marc has worked in radio since about 1990 and for 14 years of that he worked with Mark Radcliffe on BBC Radio 5 and BBC Radio One, during which time he was known as Lard. He joined BBC Radio 6 Music in April 2004. //// Links To Peel: Peel got into the Creepers, when Marc Riley left one of Peel's favourite bands, The Fall, to create a new band called Marc Riley & The Creepers. The group did 5 sessions for Peel's show between 1983 and 1987. After the band split, Peel wondered what became of Marc Riley. On 01 December 1990, Peel thought Riley left music and did a job stripping houses. The duo would meet regularly when Riley joined BBC Radio One as part of Mark And Lard with Mark Radcliffe. Peel would sometimes present Mark And Lard's show when the duo were away. After Peel's death, Marc Riley paid tribute on the 2005 Channel 4 documentary John Peel's Record Box. As part of the 10th anniversary of Peel's death in 2014 on BBC Six Radio, Riley commented that his greatest memory of Peel was when he covered Mark Ratcliffe's show on BBC Radio One during the 90's. He also mentioned that he had co-presented a show with Peel, but felt it wasn't a success."	0:07:57 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The Fall	You Don't Turn Me On + Untitled	Live 1977	Cherry Red / Fall Sound Archive	2023	23/5/77 North West Arts basement, King Street, Manchester ///// RSD release 22 April 2023 on red vinyl. Previously (partially) released on CD as part of "The Fall - [1970s]" 6-disc boxset. Not only is You Don't Turn Me On one of the earliest unreleased & never-studio-recorded songs, this is the only place where you can find the extra untitled & otherwise completely unreleased track of talk & improvisation. After an undisclosed onlooker comments that they aren't listening to each other, they fill the time as their taxi comes to go into what seems to be a freeform piece of improvisation. I doubt this will ever be played on a playlist anywhere else but here... The sort of thing I listen to that can only be found on a shelf. Enjoy the lo-fi early Fall live extract & this piece of fly-on-the-wall afterwords & freeform jamming.	0:10:50 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Tools You Can Trust	Snap Out The Light	Again Again Again	Red Energy Dynamo	1986	Background Information, The Story of the Tools: ------- Formed in January 1982 by Ben Stedman and Rob Ward, they played their first gig at the John Bull club central Manchester and made an initial recording at Out of the Blue studio in Hulme in the spring of that year. They then recorded their first single Working and Shopping and released it on their own label, Red Energy Dynamo in May 1983. ////////// The single was picked up by John Peel and this led to a distribution deal with the Cartel, through the York based Red Rhino. Various band members came and went during this time, including Claire (drummer) and at one gig a violin addition to Working and Shopping. On their first John Peel session the Tools were joined by Colin Larn, the engineer on their recordings. Colin was a traditional session drummer, used to playing with Chubby Brown and the like, and as often was the case with the Tools, the BBC were a little taken aback at the idea of 'indie industrialists' with their own MU session guy. This session was produced by Dale Griffin Dale_Griffin and reckoned to be their best recorded. It included their second single; Show Your Teeth. ////////// The band then settled on a more fixed line-up, Jill Richardson on Drums, along with Phil Hughes and Martin Herring on drums and guitar. The film Sharpen the Tools, directed by Martin Herring and edited by Peter Hewitt Peter_Hewitt_(director) matched the band at their best and the Tools seemed on the up with a second Peel session recorded on Tuesday 27th November 1984 followed by the third single, Cut A New Seam. ////////// Difficulties with the line-up meant the band could not follow up the success of the singles, film and sessions. There were not enough live shows, and while some were brilliant, some were chaotic. A notable gig for being both was the birthday party gig for local fanzine City Fun at the Hacienda where the band completed the entire set in 11 minutes having played at double speed largely due to a mixture of nerves and alcohol. Live the band got good reviews though, the latter gig described as truly excellent by City Life and topping Sonic Youth in an ascerbic but honest review of a gig at the ICA by Agnes Gooch in the NME. ////////// For reasons unclear the band refused by and large to benefit from all those great gigs in support of the miners and so drifted away from perhaps their natural fan base. Slow song writing meant that their first album was a live set (peaking at No 2 in a four week spell in the Indie Chart of the NME) and around the same time a video for Messy Body Thrust was made by Mark Elliott and got an honourable mention in a video competition organised by The Tube TV show The_Tube_(TV_series). This was, along with the Sharpen the Tools film later incorporated in a longer video release on Factory records. ////////// However, while the production budget resulted in a patchy overall sound, the songs on the long awaited studio album (Again Again Again) and the fourth single, Say it Low / A Blaze of Shame were rich and varied. Sadly these were the last released material from the band as one in action. The problematic third session and usual band type tensions resulted in the band fizzling out by late 1985. ---- Sidenote, weirdly enough (in a moment of completely unplanned & random unwitting happenstance), I found out just now that Eddie Fenn (most likely the same drummer in Marc Riley and The Creepers / The Creepers) also drummed live w/ Tools You Can Trust. Reportedly, they had quite the rotating cast of live members to help with their shows over the years.	0:17:32 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Inu	夢の中へ = Into Dreams "夢の中へ = Into Dreams" by "Inu"	メシ喰うな！= Don't Eat Food!	Mesh-Key Records	1980 / 2023	INU was a Japanese punk band formed in Osaka in 1979 and disbanded in 1981. //// The first official release of Meshi Kuuna outside of Japan. / Includes an 8-page booklet with photos, lyrics, and liner notes, all in English and Japanese. / Recorded and mixed at Sunrise Studio, Tokyo, in October and November 1980. //// "Machida Kō (町田康, Machida Kō, born Machida Yasushi on January 15, 1962 in Sakai, Osaka Prefecture) is a Japanese author, punk rock singer, poet, and actor. //// Machida formed a punk rock band called Inu (meaning "dog" in Japanese) in 1978, for which he used the stage name Machida Machizō (町田町蔵). Inu released their first album, Meshi Kuuna! (literally "Don't eat!") in 1981. The band split shortly after the album release. He went on to form a number of bands and released several albums. His albums earned reasonable critical acclaims but the commercial success was limited. //// His first literary work, Kūge, was published in 1992, and included a selection of his poems. His first novel, Gussun Daikoku, was published in 1996. It earned him the Bunkamura Deux Magots Literary Award. His unique style of story-telling marked by non-sense, irreverence, and slapstick is influenced by Kamigata (Kansai) Rakugo and Jidaigeki (samurai dramas). Some critics link him to self-destructive I Novel writers before the World War II such as Kamura Isota and Chikamatsu Shūkō. Oda Sakunosuke is also cited as one of his influences. //// He won the 123rd Akutagawa Prize with Kiregire ("Shreds") in 2000 and the Tanizaki Prize with Kokuhaku ("Confession") in 2005. //// On June 14, 2007, Machida got into an argument with his friend and rock musician Tomoyasu Hotei about a band they planned on forming together. There was a physical altercation and after learning that his injuries would take two weeks to heal, Machida filed a police report on June 18. Hotei was ordered to pay a fine of 300,000 yen on October 1."	0:20:05 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Fifth Column	Like This "Like This" by "Fifth Column"	All-Time Queen Of The World	Hide	1990	I can't believe I haven't played this yet, as it is one of my favourite songs from one of my favourite bands from our city... "Fifth Column [started out as] a Canadian all-female post-punk band from Toronto, forming in 1980 and breaking up in 1995. //// The band began as a trio named Second Unit, with GB Jones on drums, Kathleen Pirrie Adams on bass, and Janet Martin on guitar. Caroline Azar saw this group play in the fall of 1980, and shortly after successfully auditioned as singer, and this lineup played their first gig as Fifth Column in late 1980. //// Soon after forming, the group became involved in the Cassette culture of the 1980s. Their first release was a selection of songs on the cassette compilation Urban Scorch released by Some Product in 1981. GB Jones, Caroline Azar and Candy Parker released an underground xerox art/social commentary zine named Hide, of which they published five issues. After its first issue, they came out with audio cassettes that were compilations of music by their punk, post-punk and experimental contemporaries, like Anti-Scrunti Faction, The Dave Howard Singers, Mydolls, The Party's Over, Really Red, Rongwrong, and Michael Phillip Wojewoda, as well as Fifth Column. //// Their live shows often included films played overtop of the band and a 'go-go' boy dancing. They were frequently accompanied by guest musicians who played instruments as varied as saxophone, trumpet, flute, or violin. //// Independent-minded, they released their recordings, including their second full-length recording All-Time Queen Of The World, themselves. A video for the song "Like This" from the album was directed by Bruce LaBruce with the band. The band also appeared on a number of compilations. //// In 2012, a documentary film by Kevin Hegge, called She Said Boom: The Story of Fifth Column was released featuring interviews with band members Caroline Azar, G.B. Jones, and Beverly Breckenridge, with commentary on the influence of Fifth Column by Toronto artist John Brown, Vaginal Davis, Kathleen Hanna and Bruce LaBruce."

Geisterfahrer	Himmel Auf Erden "Himmel Auf Erden" by "Geisterfahrer"	Fest Der Vielen Sinne	Phonogram	1981	The band was founded in 1979 by Michael Ruff (vocals), Matthias Schuster (guitar, synthesizer, vocals), Hans Keller (violin, synthesizer, bass) and Holger Hiller (synthesizer). Supported by a drum Machine, the group had one of its first appearances at the Hamburg "In die Zukunft" festival, where they provoked the hardcore punks there with improvised electronic noise so much that their power was cut off during the gig. Holger Hiller left shortly afterwards to found Palais Schaumburg . Jürgen Weiss (drums, bass) joined the band as a replacement. The Geisterfahrer were ultimately the first band to release a single for Alfred Hilsberg's record label ZickZack Records . However, the EP Geisterfahrer was of poor quality due to a lack of studio technology, so the group subsequently became the first German New Wave band to sign a contract with a major label.	0:41:44 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Iggy Pop	New Values "New Values" by "Iggy Pop"	New Values	Arista	1979	"In terms of chronology as well as quality, 1979’s New Values is the obvious starting point. The followup to his critically lauded Berlin albums The Idiot and Lust For Life, New Values was something of a comeback album for Iggy, marking both his return to the U.S. and his reunion with latter-day Stooges guitarist James Williamson" I randomly chose Iggy in my stacks....but also chose this song for the random/not random handclap pattern...which is most exellent. Derek offered me a 20 minute dissertation on these handclaps, so maybe I'll just let him explain.	0:43:47 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
TEMPO	Sector "Sector" by "TEMPO"	Kalt Wie Eis / Sector 7"	Metronome	1981	Tempo was a German New Wave / Neue Deutsche Welle band from Berlin, 1978-83.

Richard Anthony	Take Five "Take Five" by "Richard Anthony"	Richard Anthony Sings in English	Capitol	1965	Born in Cairo to wealthy industrialists In 1958, Richard Anthony made his first recordings as a singer, initially recording French language versions of American pop hits. These included "Tu m'étais destinée" ("You Are My Destiny"), "Peggy Sue", and "Nouvelle vague" ("Three Cool Cats") which became successful in France. In the early 1960s he became one of the biggest French pop stars, with other hits including "Let's Twist Again", "C’est ma fête" ("It's My Party"), and "Et j'entends siffler le train" ("500 Miles"). He started recording at the Abbey Road Studios in England, and reached the British charts with the English-language songs "Walking Alone" (#37, 1963) and "If I Loved You" (#18, 1964). One of his songs, "I Don't Know What To Do", arranged by Ivor Raymonde, was released in the US in 1965 by Motown Records on the V.I.P. label, making Anthony the first European artist to appear for that company.	0:53:20 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Adriano Celenano	Uh...Uh... "Uh...Uh..." by "Adriano Celenano"	Uh...Uh...	Ariola	1982	He is a beloved film actor and singer from Italy...dubbed Il Molleggiato ('the springy one') because of his energetic dancing. His nonsensincal song "Prisencolinensinainciusol" gained some notoriety as an exercise in nonsensical lyrics for global appeal. This song is from a soundtrack to "Bingo Bongo"...a film where he portrays a Tarzan like dude who is brought back to 1980's Milan...and runs amok until he finds compassionate and caring people who accept his ape-man ways....	0:55:30 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The European	In A Very Real Sense Now	In A Very Real Sense Now	Stolen Recordings	2010	An extremely charming new LP from Stolen Recordings, authored by Simon Break, formerly of Piano Magic and Icebreaker International. Break applies his droll, unaffected voice (which half comes across as an English equivalent to Colin Meloy) to sing entertaining, witty bedroom pop that incorporates knowingly low-rent electronics with far more accomplished production traits - there's even a spot of Hecker-meets-Cornelius digital psychedelia... It's a slightly odd record to really get a handle on this, not least because of Break's wry, uniquely British sense of weariness that seems to offset the songs' generally very chipper, upbeat electronic character.	1:00:16 (MP3 \| Pop-up)

Rent Boys Inc. were a post-punk group from Toronto, Canada. In the mid-1980s three of the members, Mikal (drums), Nick Smash (White) (percussion), Simon Nine (vocals), relocated to London, England. Ken (bass), Mike (sax) joined the group in London. //// "One-sided flexi which came inside the first 2500 copies of Toronto’s “Nerve” magazine in May 1985. Toronto’s Rent boys.

The Resistance	Straight To Death "Straight To Death" by "The Resistance"	The Very Best Of British Punk	MBC Records	1987	'The Resistance', apparently AKA 'French Resistance' were a band from Lille France. They contributed 2 songs to a compilation of "British" punk, go figure. The two songs on the comp. seem to also be the only two songs in existence for the band, as much as can be garnered by the nearly non-existent information searchable on them.

UIC	Bomb Boys "Bomb Boys" by "UIC"	Our Garage	Fringe Product	1986	"Garage Rock Band founded 1982 in Exeter, Ontario, Canada, moved to Toronto in 1984, broke up in 1995, reunited in 2016." //// "Five young men from a small town in S-W Ontario who were bored out of their minds. //// It was 1982 and they all knew each other, how couldn't they in a town of 3500 people. They played hockey and baseball together, their older siblings knew each other, even their parents knew one another, and all shared a love of rock & roll. //// They grew up an hour and a half from Detroit and if they found the right spot on FM hill they could get late night Detroit rock radio, exposing them to the likes of The Stooges, MC5 and Alice Cooper. Then punk rock finally made its way to Huron county and the boys discovered the Ramones, Pistols, Teenage Head, etc., and realized that anything was possible and away they went. //// They did a number of shows in the Exeter-London area, then in 1984 they made the move to Toronto never having even played a show there. They rented a house (the infamous 13 Grenadier Road) where they proceeded to practice 5 nights a week, got laser tight and started to gig. The rest you can say is history. //// The line up stayed together for the recording of 3 albums, Our Garage, (Fringe - 1986), Live Like 90 (OG - 1989) and inclusions on several of the underground garage classic compilation albums "It Came From Canada" (Og Records). //// In-between they recorded the Wiseman Sessions (Recorded in 1988) but the Wiseman Sessions was never released, not until 2016 when the tapes from the session where found. //// 1990 saw Ted and Murray leave the band to chase other musical pursuits and the band added Kevin Kelly and Joey Bechta and UIC carried on for several more years before finally disbanding in 1995 after having recorded one more record, Witches Incredible (Drog Records). //// Members of the band continued playing, some did rock & roll things (el Speedo), some did rootsy rock things (Possum), some did outlaw country things (Positively Stompin), and then in 1998 four UIC members, along with friend Ken Mikalauskas (el Speedo), formed The Chickens, and released 2 great Chicken records between 1998 and 2005. //// The best thing is that they never really stopped doing the "friend thing"."	1:21:16 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Simply Saucer	Baby Nova "Baby Nova" by "Simply Saucer"	Baby Nova	Schizophrenic Records	2011	Hamilton's Simply Saucer are now a seminal 70's Rust Belt Psych/Rock/Protopunk band. This song was originally intended for Cyborgs Revisited in 1974, but the band ran out of funds and could not record it for that legendary almost-lost album (it didn't see the light of day until 1989)... It took 37 years, however, for Baby Nova to finally see studio-recorded form. It was recorded at Jim Diamond's Ghetto Studio in Detroit, MI, U.S.A.; August 2011. Edgar Breau writes in the liner notes: "Baby Nova, the title track was slated to be included on Cyborgs Revisited in '74, but just missed out when we ran out of funds. We decided to remedy that. I frantically scribbled out lyrics in the studio and we had a couple of goes at it nailing it on the third take. My guitar solo got so physical on that one that the Les Paul flew out of my hands and landed on the floor with a thump, thus the fade..."	1:24:38 (MP3 \| Pop-up)

Malcolm McClaren	Duck For the Oyster	Duck Rock	Virgin	1983	The sessions for what became McLaren’s debut album, 1983’s Duck Rock, were pandemonium. McLaren had Horn and his team recording Peruvian pipe players, Colombian marching bands, Dominican wedding musicians playing merengue, country session musicians whom Horn recalled “doing huge lines of coke” in the studio and a family band from a remote location in rural Tennessee who, as McLaren’s biographer Paul Gorman put it, “appeared under-nourished and had pronounced strabismuses”...McLaren frequently funded his ideas with the aid of a suitcase filled with cash. Nevertheless, Horn still tried to quit on the grounds that he didn’t think McLaren had a clue what he was doing. “I thought: how are we going to make this work? But he talked me out of it. Malcolm could be very persuasive.” So Horn and his team persevered, coaxing McLaren through endless vocal takes and comping the best bits together, vetoing some of his more outlandish ideas...McLaren’s vocals are definitely an acquired taste – either weirdly energising or just plain annoying – but Duck Rock undeniably seemed to predict the way people consume pop music in the 21st century. Leaping wildly between genres, it sounds like the unboundaried mish-mash of musical styles from different continents and cultures that can constitute a pop fan’s diet in the era of streaming, when rappers, South American pop stars, Korean boybands and Nigerian Afrobeats performers all co-exist in the singles chart.	1:40:03 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Viagra Boys	Shrimp Shack "Shrimp Shack" by "Viagra Boys"	Street Worms	YEAR0001	2018	"Swedish six-piece Viagra Boys are the Mick Foley of the post-punk world: a tour de force of musical comedy disguised as society’s most accepted reprobates...Viagra Boys manage to mock everyday negative qualities—boasted virility, misplaced classism, and blissful ignorance—with sincerity and ambivalence....On Street Worms, Viagra Boys pull off the very feat that made mid-’90s wrestling so successful: They put on a show that’s as corny as it is engrossing, with more trenchant commentary." - Pitchfork	1:42:53 (MP3 \| Pop-up)

	8:07pm ultradamno: I overheard the girl at my optometrists discuss her love of roller coasters and declaring herself to be an 'adrenaline junkie' yesterday...so, not my business, not that I mind. For some reason I always want to credit this song to Mo-Dettes
	8:09pm DJ Babs: HelloHello GS Welcome! And Alli!!

	8:10pm DJ Babs: That was an interesting remix. I love that song...and I love ska...I do like the wonky out of tune ness. Stuff like that usually drives me bonkers but I feel like it works. I was bouncing around smooking my doobie!

	8:12pm Alli B: Tuuuune
	8:13pm ultradamno: womp bomp a lou bomp
	8:13pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:12 I am presuming that there is hopefully thought...and enough fodder to impeach his ass the moment he's inaugurated.
	8:13pm DJ Babs: ↳ Alli B @8:12 Chuuuuuuuune
	8:14pm ultradamno: That he can be sworn in after the conviction, in and of itself, strains credulity
	8:15pm DJ Babs: oh man tell me I didn't just pull a muscle in my back FROM COUGHING.
	8:15pm Andrew Waterloo: good evening
	8:15pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:14 The "I Can't Even" threshold has been crossed long ago for me...
	8:16pm DJ Babs: Hello Hello Andrew!
	8:16pm Dan S: ↳ ultradamno @8:14 It's kind of like Tony Soprano and company get the White House on Jan. 20.
	8:20pm ultradamno: At least Tony stuck up for women on occasion (potentially the reason his onion rings feast was interrupted and why Melfi never told him of her assault)
	8:21pm DJ Babs: Agreed. I'm gonna say that we Canadians are not..super impressed ATM. LOL
	8:22pm DJ Babs: With him and his...obviously. Not the good people. I was really happy to hear that Canadians are helping out with the fires in Cali. That looks fucking awful. Mr. Fab is staying in touch to let us know he's safe. And for all our Cali folx here too...stay safe!!!
	8:24pm DJ Babs: This album is bananas! Derek got this from his brother and it's SO INTENSE!!!!
	8:24pm Mr Fab: ↳ DJ Babs @8:22 Yep, we're good, so far. Getting way too close to Bob Barth's pad, tho. He may literally have to evacuate during his show tonight.
	8:25pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Snap Out The Light" by "Tools You Can Trust" i love The Birthday Party so much, I even love fake BPs like this!
	8:27pm Mr Fab: ↳ Mr Fab @8:25 oops, think I meant the Inu track.
	8:27pm Dan S: I would have liked to see that judge sentence Trump to perform community service, back in Nov./Dec. Say 40 to 80 hours worth. That way, before he gets to screw the American people, Trump would have had to serve (some) American people.

	9:05pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "In A Very Real Sense Now" by "The European" This is reminding me of a short-lived sit-com called Alone Together with Esther Povitsky, in which her character says "you know how I feel about touching physical media, it's cursed"
	9:06pm ultradamno: I will never be mature enough to his name without giggling

	9:18pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @9:16 Hi Babs, yes, indeed. That concert was also a very upbeat, night of post-punk & eclectic music and not very hippy trippy like some of his 90's music.
	9:19pm Rich in Washington: I still have an Evolution Control Committee CD that came with a floppy disk. I still have the disk, too.

	9:26pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:19 do you have the means to play a floppy disk? some people use them in their creation of music. i know little about them and don't have a way to play them; but i have a box of empty ones...
	9:27pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:19 i think i have that one!

	9:43pm northguineahills: ↳ Andrew Waterloo @9:39 would love to see showen knife!
	9:43pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @9:15 Hello Tyler & agreed, Jah Wobble was lovely... As were Beak>>... Very cheery, cheeky, flippant, which in both cases is not always what comes first to mind when listening to their weighty work!
	9:44pm Tyler: Then South Park did 'Uncle F*cker' :)
	9:45pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:43 I missed Beak, but they intrigue me. This reminds me, need to check if there are still tickets to be had for the Viagra Boys show in April, I believe...
	9:45pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Duck For the Oyster" by "Malcolm McClaren" definitely a classic album, wished i owned it!

Delta 5	Mind Your Own Business - Featuring Monnei Lamar (Remix)	Singles & Sessions 1979-81	Kill Rock Stars	1979 / 2006	"Delta 5 was an English post-punk band from Leeds... formed from the same art school scene at Leeds University as Gang of Four and The Mekons. The original members of Delta 5, Julz Sale (vocals/guitar), Ros Allen (bass) and Bethan Peters (bass), formed the band "on a lark", but soon became a part of the thriving Leeds post-punk scene, and later added Kelvin Knight on drums and Alan Riggs on guitar, both of whom also played in Dead Beats. Combining feminist politics with a two-bass funk-punk sound (much in the style of another, more famous Leeds band, Gang of Four), they released their debut single "Mind Your Own Business" in 1979. //// The members of Delta 5 were important figures in the Rock Against Racism movement and were the subject of a highly publicised assault at the hands of a right-wing group affiliated with rival movement Rock Against Communism. //// After the release of second single "You", the band went on a successful tour of the United States, and soon thereafter left Rough Trade for Charisma Records imprint Pre. They recorded their debut album See the Whirl, which suffered from overly clean production and received low marks both critically and commercially. Due to the commercial disappointment of the album, the group disbanded. //// Post-breakup --- Apart from bassist Bethan Peters playing on Fun Boy Three's second album Waiting and performing with them live to support its release, the members of Delta 5 were mostly musically inactive. Meanwhile, Delta 5's recorded output was finding a posthumous fan base internationally. The band Shonen Knife recorded a cover version of "You" with Japanese lyrics and renamed "Saboten" ("Cactus") for their 1982 debut album Minna Tanoshiku. //// In 2006, Kill Rock Stars released a compilation of early Delta 5 material titled Singles & Sessions 1979-1981, capitalising on the re-emerging popularity of post-punk bands such as Gang of Four and Wire. The set included unreleased material, along with BBC radio sessions and live cuts. //// Delta 5 drummer Kelvin Knight died on 2 December 2015 from liver and kidney failure at the age of 56. Singer and guitarist Julz Sale died from cancer in Thailand on 20 September 2021. //// Legacy: Long after Delta 5's existence, "Mind Your Own Business" has remained the band's most enduring song, having been covered by Chicks on Speed, Le Shok, R. Stevie Moore, Pigface and Dum Dum Girls. The song was featured in episode 5 of the series Sex Education in January 2019, an episode of the 2020 BBC TV series The A Word, and in an Apple commercial in 2021."	0:04:41 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Marc Riley WIth The Creepers	Hole 4 A Soul	Shadow Figure 12"	In Tape Records	1984	Recorded at Studio 5, Maida Vale for John Peel show. Released by arrangement with B.B.C. Records. "Marc Riley (born in Manchester, Lancashire, England, 10 July 1961) is a British musician, alternative rock critic and radio DJ on BBC Radio 6 Music. Formerly a member of the Fall, he had his own record label, In-Tape, and also formed Marc Riley And The Creepers (also known as Marc Riley With The Creepers and later on simply called The Creepers). The Creepers were: Marc Riley (Guitar/Vocals), Eddie Fenn (Drums), Paul Fletcher (Guitar), Pete Keogh (Bass) Paul Fletcher and Pete Keogh were later replaced by Mark Tilton on Guitar and Phil Roberts on Bass. The records they made were full of hard hitting humour and remained as opinionated as those of Riley`s former Boss Mark E. Smith (who apparently wrote the sarcastic Middle Class about Riley). Riley also contributed to a flexidisc single for the Oink! comic under the name of The Oinkletts in 1986. Marc eventually split up The Creepers in 1987 after having got nearly no commercial success. Marc has worked in radio since about 1990 and for 14 years of that he worked with Mark Radcliffe on BBC Radio 5 and BBC Radio One, during which time he was known as Lard. He joined BBC Radio 6 Music in April 2004. //// Links To Peel: Peel got into the Creepers, when Marc Riley left one of Peel's favourite bands, The Fall, to create a new band called Marc Riley & The Creepers. The group did 5 sessions for Peel's show between 1983 and 1987. After the band split, Peel wondered what became of Marc Riley. On 01 December 1990, Peel thought Riley left music and did a job stripping houses. The duo would meet regularly when Riley joined BBC Radio One as part of Mark And Lard with Mark Radcliffe. Peel would sometimes present Mark And Lard's show when the duo were away. After Peel's death, Marc Riley paid tribute on the 2005 Channel 4 documentary John Peel's Record Box. As part of the 10th anniversary of Peel's death in 2014 on BBC Six Radio, Riley commented that his greatest memory of Peel was when he covered Mark Ratcliffe's show on BBC Radio One during the 90's. He also mentioned that he had co-presented a show with Peel, but felt it wasn't a success."	0:07:57 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The Fall	You Don't Turn Me On + Untitled	Live 1977	Cherry Red / Fall Sound Archive	2023	23/5/77 North West Arts basement, King Street, Manchester ///// RSD release 22 April 2023 on red vinyl. Previously (partially) released on CD as part of "The Fall - [1970s]" 6-disc boxset. Not only is You Don't Turn Me On one of the earliest unreleased & never-studio-recorded songs, this is the only place where you can find the extra untitled & otherwise completely unreleased track of talk & improvisation. After an undisclosed onlooker comments that they aren't listening to each other, they fill the time as their taxi comes to go into what seems to be a freeform piece of improvisation. I doubt this will ever be played on a playlist anywhere else but here... The sort of thing I listen to that can only be found on a shelf. Enjoy the lo-fi early Fall live extract & this piece of fly-on-the-wall afterwords & freeform jamming.	0:10:50 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Tools You Can Trust	Snap Out The Light	Again Again Again	Red Energy Dynamo	1986	Background Information, The Story of the Tools: ------- Formed in January 1982 by Ben Stedman and Rob Ward, they played their first gig at the John Bull club central Manchester and made an initial recording at Out of the Blue studio in Hulme in the spring of that year. They then recorded their first single Working and Shopping and released it on their own label, Red Energy Dynamo in May 1983. ////////// The single was picked up by John Peel and this led to a distribution deal with the Cartel, through the York based Red Rhino. Various band members came and went during this time, including Claire (drummer) and at one gig a violin addition to Working and Shopping. On their first John Peel session the Tools were joined by Colin Larn, the engineer on their recordings. Colin was a traditional session drummer, used to playing with Chubby Brown and the like, and as often was the case with the Tools, the BBC were a little taken aback at the idea of 'indie industrialists' with their own MU session guy. This session was produced by Dale Griffin Dale_Griffin and reckoned to be their best recorded. It included their second single; Show Your Teeth. ////////// The band then settled on a more fixed line-up, Jill Richardson on Drums, along with Phil Hughes and Martin Herring on drums and guitar. The film Sharpen the Tools, directed by Martin Herring and edited by Peter Hewitt Peter_Hewitt_(director) matched the band at their best and the Tools seemed on the up with a second Peel session recorded on Tuesday 27th November 1984 followed by the third single, Cut A New Seam. ////////// Difficulties with the line-up meant the band could not follow up the success of the singles, film and sessions. There were not enough live shows, and while some were brilliant, some were chaotic. A notable gig for being both was the birthday party gig for local fanzine City Fun at the Hacienda where the band completed the entire set in 11 minutes having played at double speed largely due to a mixture of nerves and alcohol. Live the band got good reviews though, the latter gig described as truly excellent by City Life and topping Sonic Youth in an ascerbic but honest review of a gig at the ICA by Agnes Gooch in the NME. ////////// For reasons unclear the band refused by and large to benefit from all those great gigs in support of the miners and so drifted away from perhaps their natural fan base. Slow song writing meant that their first album was a live set (peaking at No 2 in a four week spell in the Indie Chart of the NME) and around the same time a video for Messy Body Thrust was made by Mark Elliott and got an honourable mention in a video competition organised by The Tube TV show The_Tube_(TV_series). This was, along with the Sharpen the Tools film later incorporated in a longer video release on Factory records. ////////// However, while the production budget resulted in a patchy overall sound, the songs on the long awaited studio album (Again Again Again) and the fourth single, Say it Low / A Blaze of Shame were rich and varied. Sadly these were the last released material from the band as one in action. The problematic third session and usual band type tensions resulted in the band fizzling out by late 1985. ---- Sidenote, weirdly enough (in a moment of completely unplanned & random unwitting happenstance), I found out just now that Eddie Fenn (most likely the same drummer in Marc Riley and The Creepers / The Creepers) also drummed live w/ Tools You Can Trust.

Mesh-Key Records	1980 / 2023	INU was a Japanese punk band formed in Osaka in 1979 and disbanded in 1981. //// The first official release of Meshi Kuuna outside of Japan. / Includes an 8-page booklet with photos, lyrics, and liner notes, all in English and Japanese. / Recorded and mixed at Sunrise Studio, Tokyo, in October and November 1980. //// "Machida Kō (町田康, Machida Kō, born Machida Yasushi on January 15, 1962 in Sakai, Osaka Prefecture) is a Japanese author, punk rock singer, poet, and actor. //// Machida formed a punk rock band called Inu (meaning "dog" in Japanese) in 1978, for which he used the stage name Machida Machizō (町田町蔵). Inu released their first album, Meshi Kuuna! (literally "Don't eat!") in 1981. The band split shortly after the album release. He went on to form a number of bands and released several albums. His albums earned reasonable critical acclaims but the commercial success was limited. //// His first literary work, Kūge, was published in 1992, and included a selection of his poems. His first novel, Gussun Daikoku, was published in 1996. It earned him the Bunkamura Deux Magots Literary Award. His unique style of story-telling marked by non-sense, irreverence, and slapstick is influenced by Kamigata (Kansai) Rakugo and Jidaigeki (samurai dramas). Some critics link him to self-destructive I Novel writers before the World War II such as Kamura Isota and Chikamatsu Shūkō. Oda Sakunosuke is also cited as one of his influences. //// He won the 123rd Akutagawa Prize with Kiregire ("Shreds") in 2000 and the Tanizaki Prize with Kokuhaku ("Confession") in 2005. //// On June 14, 2007, Machida got into an argument with his friend and rock musician Tomoyasu Hotei about a band they planned on forming together. There was a physical altercation and after learning that his injuries would take two weeks to heal, Machida filed a police report on June 18. Hotei was ordered to pay a fine of 300,000 yen on October 1."	0:20:05 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Fifth Column	Like This "Like This" by "Fifth Column"	All-Time Queen Of The World	Hide	1990	I can't believe I haven't played this yet, as it is one of my favourite songs from one of my favourite bands from our city... "Fifth Column [started out as] a Canadian all-female post-punk band from Toronto, forming in 1980 and breaking up in 1995. //// The band began as a trio named Second Unit, with GB Jones on drums, Kathleen Pirrie Adams on bass, and Janet Martin on guitar. Caroline Azar saw this group play in the fall of 1980, and shortly after successfully auditioned as singer, and this lineup played their first gig as Fifth Column in late 1980. //// Soon after forming, the group became involved in the Cassette culture of the 1980s. Their first release was a selection of songs on the cassette compilation Urban Scorch released by Some Product in 1981. GB Jones, Caroline Azar and Candy Parker released an underground xerox art/social commentary zine named Hide, of which they published five issues. After its first issue, they came out with audio cassettes that were compilations of music by their punk, post-punk and experimental contemporaries, like Anti-Scrunti Faction, The Dave Howard Singers, Mydolls, The Party's Over, Really Red, Rongwrong, and Michael Phillip Wojewoda, as well as Fifth Column. //// Their live shows often included films played overtop of the band and a 'go-go' boy dancing. They were frequently accompanied by guest musicians who played instruments as varied as saxophone, trumpet, flute, or violin. //// Independent-minded, they released their recordings, including their second full-length recording All-Time Queen Of The World, themselves. A video for the song "Like This" from the album was directed by Bruce LaBruce with the band. The band also appeared on a number of compilations. //// In 2012, a documentary film by Kevin Hegge, called She Said Boom: The Story of Fifth Column was released featuring interviews with band members Caroline Azar, G.B. Jones, and Beverly Breckenridge, with commentary on the influence of Fifth Column by Toronto artist John Brown, Vaginal Davis, Kathleen Hanna and Bruce LaBruce."

Geisterfahrer	Himmel Auf Erden "Himmel Auf Erden" by "Geisterfahrer"	Fest Der Vielen Sinne	Phonogram	1981	The band was founded in 1979 by Michael Ruff (vocals), Matthias Schuster (guitar, synthesizer, vocals), Hans Keller (violin, synthesizer, bass) and Holger Hiller (synthesizer). Supported by a drum Machine, the group had one of its first appearances at the Hamburg "In die Zukunft" festival, where they provoked the hardcore punks there with improvised electronic noise so much that their power was cut off during the gig. Holger Hiller left shortly afterwards to found Palais Schaumburg . Jürgen Weiss (drums, bass) joined the band as a replacement. The Geisterfahrer were ultimately the first band to release a single for Alfred Hilsberg's record label ZickZack Records . However, the EP Geisterfahrer was of poor quality due to a lack of studio technology, so the group subsequently became the first German New Wave band to sign a contract with a major label.	0:41:44 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Iggy Pop	New Values "New Values" by "Iggy Pop"	New Values	Arista	1979	"In terms of chronology as well as quality, 1979’s New Values is the obvious starting point. The followup to his critically lauded Berlin albums The Idiot and Lust For Life, New Values was something of a comeback album for Iggy, marking both his return to the U.S. and his reunion with latter-day Stooges guitarist James Williamson" I randomly chose Iggy in my stacks....but also chose this song for the random/not random handclap pattern...which is most exellent.

Richard Anthony	Take Five "Take Five" by "Richard Anthony"	Richard Anthony Sings in English	Capitol	1965	Born in Cairo to wealthy industrialists In 1958, Richard Anthony made his first recordings as a singer, initially recording French language versions of American pop hits. These included "Tu m'étais destinée" ("You Are My Destiny"), "Peggy Sue", and "Nouvelle vague" ("Three Cool Cats") which became successful in France. In the early 1960s he became one of the biggest French pop stars, with other hits including "Let's Twist Again", "C’est ma fête" ("It's My Party"), and "Et j'entends siffler le train" ("500 Miles"). He started recording at the Abbey Road Studios in England, and reached the British charts with the English-language songs "Walking Alone" (#37, 1963) and "If I Loved You" (#18, 1964). One of his songs, "I Don't Know What To Do", arranged by Ivor Raymonde, was released in the US in 1965 by Motown Records on the V.I.P. label, making Anthony the first European artist to appear for that company.	0:53:20 (MP3 \| Pop-up)

Ariola	1982	He is a beloved film actor and singer from Italy...dubbed Il Molleggiato ('the springy one') because of his energetic dancing. His nonsensincal song "Prisencolinensinainciusol" gained some notoriety as an exercise in nonsensical lyrics for global appeal. This song is from a soundtrack to "Bingo Bongo"...a film where he portrays a Tarzan like dude who is brought back to 1980's Milan...and runs amok until he finds compassionate and caring people who accept his ape-man ways....	0:55:30 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
The European	In A Very Real Sense Now	In A Very Real Sense Now	Stolen Recordings	2010	An extremely charming new LP from Stolen Recordings, authored by Simon Break, formerly of Piano Magic and Icebreaker International. Break applies his droll, unaffected voice (which half comes across as an English equivalent to Colin Meloy) to sing entertaining, witty bedroom pop that incorporates knowingly low-rent electronics with far more accomplished production traits - there's even a spot of Hecker-meets-Cornelius digital psychedelia... It's a slightly odd record to really get a handle on this, not least because of Break's wry, uniquely British sense of weariness that seems to offset the songs' generally very chipper, upbeat electronic character.	1:00:16 (MP3 \| Pop-up)

The Resistance	Straight To Death "Straight To Death" by "The Resistance"	The Very Best Of British Punk	MBC Records	1987	'The Resistance', apparently AKA 'French Resistance' were a band from Lille France. They contributed 2 songs to a compilation of "British" punk, go figure. The two songs on the comp. seem to also be the only two songs in existence for the band, as much as can be garnered by the nearly non-existent information searchable on them. Surprisingly, though, I came across the video -- In glorioius lo-fi: French Resistance "straight to death" [Video] I've always liked this song & still do, so here it is.	1:17:05 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
UIC	Bomb Boys "Bomb Boys" by "UIC"	Our Garage	Fringe Product	1986	"Garage Rock Band founded 1982 in Exeter, Ontario, Canada, moved to Toronto in 1984, broke up in 1995, reunited in 2016." //// "Five young men from a small town in S-W Ontario who were bored out of their minds. //// It was 1982 and they all knew each other, how couldn't they in a town of 3500 people. They played hockey and baseball together, their older siblings knew each other, even their parents knew one another, and all shared a love of rock & roll. //// They grew up an hour and a half from Detroit and if they found the right spot on FM hill they could get late night Detroit rock radio, exposing them to the likes of The Stooges, MC5 and Alice Cooper. Then punk rock finally made its way to Huron county and the boys discovered the Ramones, Pistols, Teenage Head, etc., and realized that anything was possible and away they went. //// They did a number of shows in the Exeter-London area, then in 1984 they made the move to Toronto never having even played a show there. They rented a house (the infamous 13 Grenadier Road) where they proceeded to practice 5 nights a week, got laser tight and started to gig. The rest you can say is history. //// The line up stayed together for the recording of 3 albums, Our Garage, (Fringe - 1986), Live Like 90 (OG - 1989) and inclusions on several of the underground garage classic compilation albums "It Came From Canada" (Og Records). //// In-between they recorded the Wiseman Sessions (Recorded in 1988) but the Wiseman Sessions was never released, not until 2016 when the tapes from the session where found. //// 1990 saw Ted and Murray leave the band to chase other musical pursuits and the band added Kevin Kelly and Joey Bechta and UIC carried on for several more years before finally disbanding in 1995 after having recorded one more record, Witches Incredible (Drog Records). //// Members of the band continued playing, some did rock & roll things (el Speedo), some did rootsy rock things (Possum), some did outlaw country things (Positively Stompin), and then in 1998 four UIC members, along with friend Ken Mikalauskas (el Speedo), formed The Chickens, and released 2 great Chicken records between 1998 and 2005. //// The best thing is that they never really stopped doing the "friend thing"."	1:21:16 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Simply Saucer	Baby Nova "Baby Nova" by "Simply Saucer"	Baby Nova	Schizophrenic Records	2011	Hamilton's Simply Saucer are now a seminal 70's Rust Belt Psych/Rock/Protopunk band. This song was originally intended for Cyborgs Revisited in 1974, but the band ran out of funds and could not record it for that legendary almost-lost album (it didn't see the light of day until 1989)... It took 37 years, however, for Baby Nova to finally see studio-recorded form. It was recorded at Jim Diamond's Ghetto Studio in Detroit, MI, U.S.A.; August 2011. Edgar Breau writes in the liner notes: "Baby Nova, the title track was slated to be included on Cyborgs Revisited in '74, but just missed out when we ran out of funds. We decided to remedy that. I frantically scribbled out lyrics in the studio and we had a couple of goes at it nailing it on the third take. My guitar solo got so physical on that one that the Les Paul flew out of my hands and landed on the floor with a thump, thus the fade..."	1:24:38 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Anagram	How It Seems "How It Seems" by "Anagram"	Majewski	Dead Astronaut Records	2010	"Anagram was a Canadian punk rock band from Oshawa, Ontario, Canada later based out of Toronto.

It was named in memory of Oshawa musician Michal Majewski. //// Of their live shows, Now wrote, "Their droning hypnotism has been known to arouse urges to violence and maybe a house fire or two." //// Anagram disbanded in 2012, playing their final show at The Silver Dollar Room in Toronto. //// In 2013, Churcher and the Mason brothers founded the band Surinam." //// As of 2024, Matt Mason plays in a duo called Gold Watch.	1:28:36 (MP3 \| Pop-up)

Malcolm McClaren	Duck For the Oyster	Duck Rock	Virgin	1983	The sessions for what became McLaren’s debut album, 1983’s Duck Rock, were pandemonium. McLaren had Horn and his team recording Peruvian pipe players, Colombian marching bands, Dominican wedding musicians playing merengue, country session musicians whom Horn recalled “doing huge lines of coke” in the studio and a family band from a remote location in rural Tennessee who, as McLaren’s biographer Paul Gorman put it, “appeared under-nourished and had pronounced strabismuses”...McLaren frequently funded his ideas with the aid of a suitcase filled with cash. Nevertheless, Horn still tried to quit on the grounds that he didn’t think McLaren had a clue what he was doing. “I thought: how are we going to make this work? But he talked me out of it. Malcolm could be very persuasive.” So Horn and his team persevered, coaxing McLaren through endless vocal takes and comping the best bits together, vetoing some of his more outlandish ideas...McLaren’s vocals are definitely an acquired taste – either weirdly energising or just plain annoying – but Duck Rock undeniably seemed to predict the way people consume pop music in the 21st century. Leaping wildly between genres, it sounds like the unboundaried mish-mash of musical styles from different continents and cultures that can constitute a pop fan’s diet in the era of streaming, when rappers, South American pop stars, Korean boybands and Nigerian Afrobeats performers all co-exist in the singles chart.	1:40:03 (MP3 \| Pop-up)
Viagra Boys	Shrimp Shack "Shrimp Shack" by "Viagra Boys"	Street Worms	YEAR0001	2018	"Swedish six-piece Viagra Boys are the Mick Foley of the post-punk world: a tour de force of musical comedy disguised as society’s most accepted reprobates...Viagra Boys manage to mock everyday negative qualities—boasted virility, misplaced classism, and blissful ignorance—with sincerity and ambivalence....On Street Worms, Viagra Boys pull off the very feat that made mid-’90s wrestling so successful: They put on a show that’s as corny as it is engrossing, with more trenchant commentary." - Pitchfork	1:42:53 (MP3 \| Pop-up)

The song originally appeared on the soundtrack to the movie Pretty in Pink one month prior to its single release.

	8:54pm ultradamno: So many things are, I was hearing that in the new Brendy i Funky syfrecords.bandcamp.com... ... and they had covered Suicide previously, on this syfrecords.bandcamp.com...

	9:05pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "In A Very Real Sense Now" by "The European" wouldn't guess that to be piano magic related..
	9:05pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "In A Very Real Sense Now" by "The European" This is reminding me of a short-lived sit-com called Alone Together with Esther Povitsky, in which her character says "you know how I feel about touching physical media, it's cursed"
	9:06pm ultradamno: I will never be mature enough to his name without giggling
	9:07pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "The Minotaur" by "Dick Hyman" I just rearranged my Moog section on vacation and was dumbfounded to see that I own three copies of this album.

	9:10pm v-dawg: ↳ ultradamno @9:06 I just got that one.

	9:17pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @9:12 I'm sure he had the clap numerous times too LOL
	9:18pm Tyler: ↳ DJ Babs @9:16 Hi Babs, yes, indeed. That concert was also a very upbeat, night of post-punk & eclectic music and not very hippy trippy like some of his 90's music.
	9:19pm Rich in Washington: I still have an Evolution Control Committee CD that came with a floppy disk. I still have the disk, too.

	9:27pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:19 i think i have that one!
	9:29pm DJ Babs: So noisy! Love it!
	9:29pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:22 I still have my records/cds memorized from where they were on the shelf in abc order, so, get confused (i haven't had access to them in 6 years).

	9:43pm Tyler: I remember the Horseshoe would play 'The Rodeo Song' when it was closing time - one of the most profane songs recorded up to that time :)
	9:43pm northguineahills: ↳ Andrew Waterloo @9:39 would love to see showen knife!
	9:43pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Tyler @9:15 Hello Tyler & agreed, Jah Wobble was lovely... As were Beak>>... Very cheery, cheeky, flippant, which in both cases is not always what comes first to mind when listening to their weighty work!
	9:44pm Tyler: Then South Park did 'Uncle F*cker' :)
	9:45pm Tyler: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:43 I missed Beak, but they intrigue me. This reminds me, need to check if there are still tickets to be had for the Viagra Boys show in April, I believe...
