	🥁 9:08pm Kat in the chat: Holy shit. No, I'm not near that. I'm north, but much closer to Center City.
	9:08pm ultradamno: It hit houses, many fires.
	🥁 9:09pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:08 Thanks for asking. It sounds bad! I don't really know that area
	9:09pm ?: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:03 wendy! have some stuff coming your way soon feeling the space by yoko ono and persepolis (i think) by iannis xenakis
	9:09pm Rich in Washington: I kept searching my feeds to see if it was actually a current happening. What a crazy time to be alive.
	9:10pm pot8o: ↳ @9:09 oops, forgot to log in
	9:10pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:03 Hi Wendy! I didn't see you up there!
	🥁 9:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ pot8o @9:10 I thought that was you. Hi pot8o!
	9:10pm Rich in Washington: Hi everybody!
	🥁 9:11pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:09 I was working, then listening to Hour of Crap and making/eating dinner
	9:11pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:04 never been to philadelphia museum of art... although when visiting philly on college choice reconnaissance got lost and ended up there, but it was closed due to martin luther king holiday.... have wanted to go ever since but it never worked out when i've been in philly...
	🥁 9:11pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:10 Hey Rich! I snuck in amidst all the bad news. 2025 is starting off with a... um... lotta awful stuff. I don't wanna be a downer because there's also good things happening, but HOLY FUCK DUDE.
	🥁 9:12pm Kat in the chat: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:11 I love it. i can walk there on a nice day.
	9:12pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Unfriend The President" by "Dead Air Fresheners" i'm not sure unfriending is enough. was thinking more along the lines of drawing and quartering
	9:12pm pot8o: i knew 2025 was gonna be shitty, but I didn't expect it to get this shitty this quick
	9:12pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:11 and this is just week one of the weak one, as I call it.
	9:12pm Rich in Washington: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:12 breaking on the wheel needs to make a comeback.
	9:13pm tom tom the pipers son: oh ... that crash....in a populated area....
	9:13pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:12 yes; and tarring/feathering...
	9:13pm Rich in Washington: This song is a group meditation. Think real hard, pray, manifest. The crows are hungry.
	🥁 9:13pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:12 I keep waiting for... uh... something to happen along those lines.
	9:14pm Rich in Washington: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:13 Flaying alive. The Brazen Bull. All too good for them.
	9:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:12 very nice... i know about the duchamp room....much eakins...?
	9:14pm TonyR: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:06 Yikes. Good thing the Eagles rioting was over. That's a popular spot. I miss streaking.
	🥁 9:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:13 I like it! It is a very meditative bit of radio you're doing here, Rich.
	9:14pm ultradamno: At least he's staffed and entire government of people who can honestly say 'well, we don't know what we're doing'
	🥁 9:15pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:13 In addition to it being meditative, it also seems like you're casting a spell. I THOROUGHLY APPROVE. <3
	9:16pm ultradamno: Also, does he think all trans people just got reassignment surgery....that's his readiness argument?
	9:16pm A Bump in Burbank: ↳ Song: "Hold Your Clowns Up" by "Ass And Hammer" We've been hearing loads of Ass & Hammer recently. For the good of mankind.
	9:16pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:13 metaphorical, but there's this www.latintimes.com...
	9:16pm Rich in Washington: I've had to disconnect my smoke detector because I am burning the shit out of a huge sprig of sage.
	9:17pm Rich in Washington: ↳ A Bump in Burbank @9:16 Nice! I don't know if he's even putting it on Bandcamp or selling it through his usual label. He just sent it to me a couple of weeks ago.
	🥁 9:18pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:16 Musky aromas?
	9:18pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:16 native americans call that 'smudging' to cast out evil spirits
	🥁 9:18pm Kat in the chat: Yeah it's an out-demons-out kinda thing
	🥁 9:19pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:16 Can we make a giant one for the whole fucking country?
	9:20pm ultradamno: That's very inhospitable to demon-americans
	9:20pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:18 done before all sorts of meetings, events ... around perimeter of room
	🥁 9:21pm Kat in the chat: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:20 Yes, you're supposed to do it before you move into a new place too. I never seem to manage that.
	9:21pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:21 right...
	🥁 9:22pm Kat in the chat: Rich, I'm actually glad you referred to the crash, because if I hadn't known about it and then picked up my phone at midnight and seen the news reports, I would have freaked the fuck out
	9:25pm ultradamno: The demons in my house always get distracted by the news 'people are worried about US and they elected THAT?'...Annabelle in particular always looks nonplussed, but then she always kind of does.
	9:25pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:21 or in a used car...or in any space where some stupid shit has gone down.
	9:26pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Don't Speak" by "Orchid Spangiafora" this album is top notch
	🥁 9:26pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Don't Speak" by "Orchid Spangiafora" Great!
	🥁 9:26pm Aitch: Idiocracy seems to have come true
	9:27pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:13 something...anything
	9:27pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Extracting the Re-Re (a Ritual Call to Prayer)" b... Renaldo M's recent solo album is also excellent klanggalerie.bandcamp.com...
	9:27pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @9:26 really quickly, too
	🥁 9:28pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Aitch @9:26 I tried to watch Idiocracy like ten years ago and had to turn it off because it was too close to reality THEN.
	9:29pm tom tom the pipers son: @rich...a listener to currents... a good show with a good host.... covers news with music...but rich you do a close to or even better job capturing the 'current mood'
	9:30pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:28 last time I saw it it was on some basic cable network channel, completely sanitized of swear words and interrupted by (real) commercials that seemed like they were from Idiocracy. It was like a weird meta cut of the film.
	9:30pm Rich in Washington: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:29 thanks for the kind words. What can I say. I'm a moody bastard.
	9:31pm tom tom the pipers son: that might be so.... ha ha!
	9:32pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Alone" by "Marianne Faithfull" Ed Sanders sings Poe on that comp? I must hear it.
	9:33pm Ike: Meow!
	9:33pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Ike @9:33 Woof!
	9:34pm Rich in Washington: ↳ David Shortell @9:32 Hi DS!
	9:35pm pot8o: ↳ David Shortell @9:32 and diamanda
	🥁 9:41pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Ike @9:33 Ike!
	🥁 9:49pm Wendy del Formaggio: Snacks... that's a good idea.
	🥁 9:51pm Kat in the chat: I am lacking in snacks and drinks currently.
	🥁 9:51pm Kat in the chat: At least the adult kind of drinks
	🥁 9:51pm Kat in the chat: HI MEIKO
	🥁 9:52pm Wendy del Formaggio: I just downloaded the new GBV about 20 minutes ago.
	9:53pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:52 Niiicee!
	🥁 9:53pm Wendy del Formaggio: I'm catching up on about a month's worth of the new digital bin downloads right now. Oh wait. Is this secret DJ stuff I'm not supposed to talk about? I'd make a horrible spy.
	9:54pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:53 an agent will be by your house shortly
	9:54pm Rich in Washington: I always wondered if DJs ever had to surrender any of those promo records which state they may have to give them back at any time.
	9:56pm A2B: Hi, Rich! Hi, Wendy! Thanks for the industrial set with all those awesome soundbites mixed in! That took me back to my days of hanging out at seedy nightclubs where I would attend industrial shows on Saturday nights, back when drinks were dirt cheap. I made good friends in that scene. In fact, I was introduced to it through a radio DJ I became acquainted with who founded a record label.
	9:56pm ultradamno: I have few remotes Xfinity could come collect at any time
	9:56pm Dean: Nope. That promo scam was nothing but a scam. It's yours.
	9:57pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:54 considering how many of those i've bought from record stores, i'll guess it doesn't happen much!
	9:57pm Rich in Washington: ↳ A2B @9:56 It doesn't get much more seedy than my studio.
	🥁 9:57pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:53 I've heard other DJs talk about it, not a lot, but a lil bit
	9:57pm Rich in Washington: I like seedy music and I like CD music.
	🥁 9:58pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:54 i thought they were all supposed to hand in their resignations
	9:58pm A2B: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:57 Ha! You should see MY room!
	🥁 9:58pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:54 He's already chained up in the basement.
	9:58pm Rudy Schwartz: I've never had to return any promo copies, but I spent thirty days in prison once for ripping the tag off a mattress.
	9:59pm Rich in Washington: Tonight, on The Radio Is Broken: SHOW US YOUR ROOM!
	🥁 9:59pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ A2B @9:56 Hey A2B!
	9:59pm Dean: And I like Cedille Records: https://www.cedillerecords.org/. Founded by Ruth Bader Ginsburg's son.
	9:59pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rudy Schwartz @9:58 Hey Rudy! Speak of the devil!
	🥁 10:00pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:59 I showed Wendy part of one of my rooms. I wanted her to see where my Oblique Strategies card lives now.
	10:00pm Rudy Schwartz: Hi Rich!
	10:00pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Rudy Schwartz @9:58 and all the mother rapers, father rapers and even the litterers avoided you...
	10:01pm Rich in Washington: I remember a KBOO DJ asked Rose Maddox (of the Maddox Brothers & Rose) if she was going to put out any CDs and she said "Honey! Everything I DO is SEEDY!"
	🥁 10:01pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:01 That's adorable
	🥁 10:01pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:57 It takes me a very long time to get through the digital new bin because I listen to everything that comes in. I mean, not every track, but I give nearly every album at least a song or two before deleting it. It's a labor of love, for sure.
	🥁 10:02pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:00 :-) It's true!
	🥁 10:02pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:01 Doug was talking a couple weeks ago about his terrifying digital backlog
	10:03pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:01 Ever hear their cover of Love Is Strange? It's the best thing that ever happened
	10:03pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @10:03 I have not. I think they're really funny, though.
	🥁 10:04pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:02 Mine is currently at 582 items. Items could be an album or a single. This is the most it's been ever. Why? I'm up-to-date with my downloads AND a flurry of new stuff came in this past month. Not all of it comes from WFMU's music director, but most does. I ain't complaining, but it is kinda hilarious.
	10:04pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:03 www.youtube.com...
	10:05pm A Bump in Burbank: ↳ Song: "Frates for String and Percussion" by "Arvo Pärt" The greatest living composer!
	🥁 10:05pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:04 And with that, I'm going to fetch a Cara Cara orange now. Snacks before bed!
	🥁 10:06pm Kat in the chat: I had a bowl of cereal at breakfast but I think I might have another one now. Kinda comforting.
	10:08pm Rudy Schwartz: ↳ Song: "Frates for String and Percussion" by "Arvo Pärt" This is fucking great.
	10:08pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rudy Schwartz @10:08 This whole album is fantastic. Just beautiful. It's a weeper.
	🥁 10:09pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Frates for String and Percussion" by "Arvo Pärt" Into the wishlist. The Jelinek was already there.
	🥁 10:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: I just looked out the window and the view east is beautiful. It's snowing, the river is frozen and covered with snow, and the clouds are low enough to reflect the village's light. Everything is glowing. I wish I could take a photo and share it with y'all, but my only camera is on my phone and it won't really do.
	10:11pm ultradamno: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:06 Shopping for cereal can be triggering substack.com...
	10:12pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:10 Oh wow. We're supposed to get some snow next week. We'll see.
	🥁 10:12pm Kat in the chat: ↳ ultradamno @10:11 Great Grains over here, no monster content
	10:13pm ultradamno: After two deep freezes the temp has bounced here, almost fifty today
	🥁 10:13pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:10 I am such a city girl, but that sounds lovely.
	10:13pm ultradamno: bounced *up, that is
	10:14pm ultradamno: ...wet though
	🥁 10:14pm Kat in the chat: Apparently this was Philly's coldest January in 10 years. Still preferable to Chicago.
	🥁 10:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:12 Does it snow often where you are?
	10:17pm ultradamno: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:12 I'm always tempted to try Carmella Creeper, but never go through with it. They should have come up with a Count Orlox & Bagels with Nosferatomato for adults, to cross-promote with the movie
	🥁 10:17pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:13 It is really lovely. I'm a city kid who found she loves living in a village. I would not be happy in the woods, but being near other people in a village with an actual downtown is my ideal.
	🥁 10:17pm Wendy del Formaggio: YES, YOU RICH! :-)
	🥁 10:17pm Kat in the chat: ↳ ultradamno @10:17 Hahaha!
	🥁 10:19pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:17 Does sound like best of both worlds
	🥁 10:19pm Kat in the chat: Broken English is so damn good
	10:20pm A Bump in Burbank: ↳ Song: "Broken English" by "Marianne Faithfull" This one is a sledgehammer !
	10:20pm Rudy Schwartz: Hey Rich, what's the barometric pressure like where you live?
	10:20pm ultradamno: Yeah, first heard it on this comp www.discogs.com...
	10:21pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rudy Schwartz @10:20 I have no idea. Uzbeks stole my barometer.
	10:21pm TonyR: ↳ Song: "Broken English" by "Marianne Faithfull" 'Member how everyone in 1979 was calling her voice weathered and ragged, and today she sounds like a baby?
	10:21pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @10:20 That looks like a fun comp. I used to buy those types of label/loss leaders when i was a kid but I would've loved that one.
	10:22pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Broken English" by "Marianne Faithfull" i don't think i've heard this since 1980. i liked it then, and don't know why i never got the album
	🥁 10:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:21 haha. That sounds like a good title for a memoir. "Uzbeks Stole My Barometer."
	🥁 10:24pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Ballad Of The Soldier's Wife" by "Marianne Faithf... ooh, nice pick
	10:24pm TonyR: Oh! Just in time for a MF set!!!!
	10:24pm ultradamno: One of the more natural 'sixties icons getting hip to punk/new wave' records
	10:25pm wimpy: Love this comp
	10:25pm Rich in Washington: I actually want a weather station. I don't know why. Maybe my age.
	10:25pm Dean: I was peddling records when Broken English came out. Among those who cared, it was greeted enthusiastically.
	10:25pm Rich in Washington: ↳ wimpy @10:25 me too. All these Hal Willner comps are fantastic.
	10:26pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Frates for String and Percussion" by "Arvo Pärt" ooh, i missed the new arvo part release...
	🥁 10:26pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:25 Because weather is effin' cool. I did a story a buncha years ago about the Nat'l Weather Service's StormWatch training program. And a sidebar about a guy who provides weather info to the Nat'l Weather Service. And tonight I listened to the Tom Glazer "Weather Songs" album. So, maybe it's my age, too.
	🥁 10:27pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @10:26 I just downloaded it. We can listen to it in the Wendomobile.
	10:27pm TonyR: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:25 What if the weather gets strange??
	10:28pm Rich in Washington: ↳ TonyR @10:27 HA!
	10:28pm ultradamno: I read an article cracking the mystery of why oceans are heating up yesterday. Turns out it has to do with the sun, the heat and greenhouse gasses. Could have knocked me over with a feather
	10:28pm TonyR: "I got you, baby!"
	10:29pm northguineahills: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:27 my favorite estonian holy minimalist composer
	🥁 10:29pm Kat in the chat: This was on The Midnight Special? I don't remember this one.
	10:30pm Rudy Schwartz: The Midnight Special occasionally didn't suck.
	🥁 10:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @10:29 Who's your second-favorite?
	10:31pm TonyR: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:29 "The 1980 Floor Show". Plenty of it on YouTube. I had to go to grandma's house (at 10) to watch on a color TV.
	10:32pm Dean: Weather. I visited NYC in the early '00s during a huge snowstorm. I'm a SoCal guy. I've never known extreme weather. But in Manhattan the locals advised me not walk the twelve blocks from my hotel to my destination. "You should take the subway." Huh?! I walked without a problem. Yeah, it was cold. So what? Weather is weather. I don't understand why people care all that much.
	10:32pm ultradamno: I remember the new wave Midnight Special with The Cars where the concession to modernity was no host speaking. Suicide and Lene Lovich were on it and Iggy, though if I'm remembering correctly, they showed the Five Foot One video
	10:32pm northguineahills: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:30 well, peteris vasks is latvian, balt enough for me...
	10:33pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "The Ballad of Lucy Jordan" by "Marianne Faithfull" now i want to hear a Dolly Parton/Brian Eno collaboration
	🥁 10:33pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:33 right?!
	10:34pm Rudy Schwartz: I once rode on an airplane from Memphis to Austin with Iggy Pop. He was a very nice man.
	10:34pm TonyR: [Brian cuts up her lyrics and rearranges them.] "You're not getting a cut of the publishing."
	10:34pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @10:32 During a snowstorm in nyc in 2005, i walked from the delancey to 14th st to get the L. it was shin deep in the middle of Ave A, and there was thundersnow. no traffic. it was a fun walk at 4ish am...
	10:35pm TonyR: ↳ northguineahills @10:34 It's all fun and games until you walk on uncovered ice.
	10:36pm tom tom the pipers son: kid congo, listener franco twinkie's friend, posted an instagram that he was so excited after meeting marianne faithfull he crashed his car, also that he had a blast performing 'why'd you do that' which i guess is a de facto situation...
	10:36pm northguineahills: ↳ TonyR @10:35 you know, i've slipped on ice many a times, but have always landed on my feet (well, at least w/ out my hands or knees touching the ground).
	10:37pm TonyR: ↳ Song: "Strange Weather" by "Marianne Faithfull" I was shocked in 2022 to discover I did not have this on CD - only the vinyl.
	10:37pm Rich in Washington: I remembered seeing New York Dolls on Don Kirschner's Rock Concert. I thought they were terrible then, but then, I had some growing up to do. Probably didn't help that my older brother and dad kept making smart ass remarks about them.
	🥁 10:37pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @10:34 I think that snowstorm was when I took the subway to the Film Forum. I only walked half a block in the snow, but it was fun seeing 7th Avenue so empty and quiet. Kinda like mid-August, just colder. haha.
	10:38pm ultradamno: These damn corn chips are too thin
	10:39pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rudy Schwartz @10:34 saw iggy a few times when he lived in christadora in east village.. once behind him in line at a bodega when he was demonstrably polite to the person behind the counter
	10:39pm TonyR: ↳ ultradamno @10:38 Smash the bag and spread the crumbs on the ice for friction.
	10:40pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:37 At fourteen or fifteen I asked the clerks at my local record store about them...was treated to some homophobic slurs. So I bought the cutout at Marsh supermarket immediately
	10:40pm Dean: Made it to the Marquee Club in '87, when I saw IQ in concert. I admit I cared more about the legacy of the place than the particular band I was hearing.
	10:40pm TonyR: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:39 Iggy is one of the most consistently polite, charming, and behaved rock stars.
	10:42pm Rudy Schwartz: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:39 Yeah, he is extremely polite. He was affably chatting it up with some business guy in the next seat about stocks or bonds or some shit. He seemed like he'd fit in anywhere.
	10:42pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ TonyR @10:40 yes, there's a bigger thing going on in his head than rock stardom
	10:42pm ultradamno: I've never been, but I'd like to go to the 100 Club, not so much for the history, but it just looks so awkward bpb-eu-w2.wpmucdn.com...
	10:43pm still b/p: Not sure why it never caught my interest, but I never watched Rock Concert or Midnight Special for more than a minute when I came home on Friday nights and flipped around the TV channels. Even though there were acts I'd enjoy watching or at least be diverted by or choose to judge and compare performers' live effort. Never. I find it odd and regret it now when particular performances are mentioned.
	10:43pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "The Ballad of Lucy Jordan" by "Marianne Faithfull" mary wing played this one 10 years ago...
	10:43pm northguineahills: ↳ TonyR @10:40 and kicked ass in the adventures of pete & pete!
	🥁 10:44pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Why'd Ya Do It?" by "Marianne Faithfull" ah yes. this freaked some people out back in the day
	10:44pm Dean: Also ventured to the Mountain Grill, the eponym of Hawkwind's top-notch album In the Hall of the Mountain Grill. It was a hole-in-the-wall grill.
	10:44pm A Bump in Burbank: ↳ Song: "Why'd Ya Do It?" by "Marianne Faithfull" Don't nobody spit on my snatch!
	10:44pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:44 It did me. I remember hearing it late one night on the radio and I couldn't believe the lyrics.
	🥁 10:45pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:44 that's really testing "safe harbor"
	10:46pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rudy Schwartz @10:42 he smart enough to know that getting sucked into show biz mental landscape is short track...
	10:47pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:37 i Love when the snow is enough to fuck up everyone's routines. it's beautiful, and i don't mind the snow...and i know how to walk on uncovered ice; but the best part is that it slows people down, and makes the world relatively quiet.
	10:48pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:37 i saw that. i already liked "personality crisis" i'd heard on the radio, so i liked it. it probably helped, too, that my older brother had already turned me onto alice cooper...
	10:48pm TonyR: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:47 I hate when it's time to no longer walk in the street.
	🥁 10:48pm Kat in the chat: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:47 yes that snow hush is nice
	10:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Why'd Ya Do It?" by "Marianne Faithfull" i find the reggae ish track sort of sardonic here
	🥁 10:50pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:25 You can check world weather and all sorts of other stuff on this one. earth.nullschool.net...
	10:50pm TonyR: David and Marianne together!!!!

	10:51pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "I Got You, Babe" by "Marianne Faithfull & David B... i believe this is close to the period where faithfull was homeless, drug addicted
	10:51pm still b/p: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:50 Do you listen to them, or are they stored deep in the bunker?
	🥁 10:51pm WR: ↳ still b/p @10:50 wow. nice. Hope he is having reasonable quality of life.
	10:52pm coelacanth∅: ↳ TonyR @10:48 you mean because the plows have left no room?
	10:52pm A2B: Just had a (very) brief power outage here, but everything's back to normal now. Must have been a power relay problem on the outside. We get them on occasion.
	10:53pm Rich in Washington: ↳ A2B @10:52 Oh fun!
	10:53pm TonyR: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:52 No. Motorists collectively decide they've had enough, and start driving around.....
	10:54pm still b/p: ↳ WR @10:51 You can get his Trump Porky Pie signed print for $169.99.
	10:55pm tom tom the pipers son: the transformation of marianne faithful from the 60's could be seen as a critique of the "english rose" a cliche of feminine ideal that still tracks in england
	10:55pm coelacanth∅: ↳ still b/p @10:51 i was a kid! i bought "concertape" c-120s from radioshack! i recorded over some of them; the others? who knows. i should drag them out.
	10:55pm TonyR: Visualize Trump Porky-piggin' around the West Wing.
	10:56pm coelacanth∅: ↳ TonyR @10:53 oh,yes... back to the rat race again!
	10:56pm A2B: ↳ A2B @10:52 And because of it, I missed half of this MF tribute set. No matter. DJ GeorgyGirl will eventually be devoting next week's Flange & Frigate to an MF tribute.
	10:56pm still b/p: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:55 Monty Hall listening pahty.
	10:57pm TonyR: ↳ Song: "As Tears Go By" by "Marianne Faithfull" "Strange Weather" CD was out of print and not streaming. Had to buy used.
	10:58pm coelacanth∅: ↳ still b/p @10:56 Yeah! i've got so much shit... i also have tapes off wfmu from ~1980 - ~2008.
	11:02pm coelacanth∅: William Hooker, nice!
	11:03pm TonyR: I LOVE drifting off to the generic Drummer stream.
	11:03pm Rich in Washington: ↳ TonyR @11:03 I like falling asleep to terrible 70s UFO documentaries.
	11:04pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:03 do you have probing dreams?
	11:04pm TonyR: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:03 Don't you want to see how they end??
	11:05pm Rich in Washington: ↳ TonyR @11:04 No. I never want to know how they end.
	11:06pm TonyR: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:04 "You're not dreaming."
	11:06pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:03 i'm jealous, i can't sleep if any tv/movie is on, no matter how tired i am, my brain will just follow the narrative (or lack thereof) or dialogue. if no dialog, it will be curious about the sounds...
	11:06pm Rich in Washington: My favorite one is The Overlords of the UFOs. The narrator keeps promising to reveal who they are at the end of the documentary but I think they never really do, but you can play a drinking game with every time he makes the titular phrase: "Who are the overlords of the UFOs?"
	11:06pm still b/p: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:05 You'll miss the instructions for welcoming and complying.
	11:06pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Aryan Embarrassment" by "Ministry w/Jello Biafra" a lot of melvins vibing
	11:07pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @11:06 I raised five children. I learned to need a screen of noise around me when I slept.
	11:08pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ TonyR @11:06 ha! i don't have 'probing' dreams i have probing dreams
	11:08pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:06 Phil Mogg? /oh wrong UFO...
	11:09pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:07 i need white noise to sleep (usually a fan, or earbuds of something likewise)
	11:09pm David Shortell: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:51 Her addiction began when playing Ophelia in Tony Richardson’s 1969 Roundhouse production (and film) of “Hamlet”.
	11:09pm TonyR: ↳ still b/p @11:06 Now you're talking abt the Drummer Stream.
	11:09pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:08 insert cartman joke 'here'.
	11:12pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Po$t American" by "Dead Pioneers" wondered on another show if steve martin's arrow through the head bit was actually an ironic take on the treatment of native american's,,, that said basically ...all us whiteys are dead Custers
	11:13pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ David Shortell @11:09 oh ok thanks... over by '73...?
	11:13pm Dean: "all us whiteys are dead Custers" Good lord. No, we aren't.
	11:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @11:09 y' know... not so familiar w/ southpark... :(
	11:16pm ultradamno: Okay, that does it! Now listen! Why is it that everything today has involved things either going in or coming out of my ass?! I'm sick of it!
	11:18pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @11:13 well i meant 'dead' in an analogous way to joyce's 'the dead' not a familial burden but a historical one
	11:19pm TonyR: ↳ ultradamno @11:16 "Your ass is very important to us, and we will be with you as soon as possible."
	🥁 11:19pm Wendy del Formaggio: Rich, I hate to step out when Melvins are playing, but I gotta work in the morning. Those books won't check themselves out, ya know! Thanks for the fine tunes. See you on the radio!
	11:19pm ultradamno: Well, that recontextualizes 'well, excuuuu-uuuuuu-uuuuuuuuuuuse me!' dramatically
	11:21pm pot8o: i need white noise to drown out the jackasses slamming doors and blasting rap music at 3:00 in the morning
	11:21pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:19 Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law! Nighty night, Wenders!
	🥁 11:21pm Kat in the chat: goodnight Wendy!
	11:21pm ultradamno: I speculated earlier today that Droopy might be Eeyore...if he was willing to fuck people up.
	11:21pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:18 maybe not the best analogy, been a long time on the joyce
	11:21pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:19 'night, Wendy
	11:21pm pot8o: (thank god im moving to an apartment soon if i play my cards right)
	11:22pm pot8o: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:19 goodnight wendy!
	11:22pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ ultradamno @11:19 ha! i know i'm being ridiculous... but may have a kernel of truth...
	🥁 11:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: g'night, friends! I hope everyone sleeps well.
	11:23pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @11:21 Yay! Fingers crossed for you!

	11:32pm tom tom the pipers son: funny.. thatcher in pic looking like soo catwoman a bit
	11:34pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "The Enemy" by "D.O.A." 100%
	11:39pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "The Enemy" by "D.O.A." thought it was doa!
	11:40pm northguineahills: ↳ pot8o @11:22 jagaimo!
	11:41pm Rich in Washington: the record's stuck!
	11:42pm pot8o: the record is broken
	11:44pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ pot8o @11:42 i have been called that... ; )
	11:45pm northguineahills: ↳ ultradamno @11:16 jajaja!
	11:46pm northguineahills: ↳ pot8o @11:21 so, it's an agricultural college you attend, eh? 😜

	11:54pm northguineahills: ↳ pot8o @11:47 well, if you jackasses roaming the halls....
	11:54pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Break It All" by "Feederz" i wasn't listening closely (well, the radio is competing with other sounds) but that "break it all" wouldn't be a cover of the los shakers song...right? (seems unlikely)
	🥁 11:56pm Aitch: Thanks Rich!
	11:57pm northguineahills: happy thanks, rich, good night!
	11:58pm Rudy Schwartz: Thanks Rich. Great show. I need to check out that Beefheart cover album.
	12:01am Rich in Washington: Just learned about OG Sonics drummer Bob Bennett passing away.
	12:01am Rich in Washington: Thanks everybody!
	12:01am ultradamno: On the SNL music special Willner claims booking Beefheart and Miles Davis were his doing and that both performances were regarded as catastrophes (Miles for never facing the camera and Beef for being the one act on SNL to be greeted by absolute audience silence...until a lone heckler yelled something)
	12:02am ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @12:01 RIP, I had not heard that. A band that probably deserves all the proto-punk accolades reserved for Stooges and MC5
	12:04am Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @12:02 Fun fact, the guy that engineered Fun House was a Kingsmen.
	12:05am Rich in Washington: G'night, everyone! Just about done here.

The Radio Is Broken with Rich In Washington: Playlist from January 31, 2025

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

	🥁 9:11pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:10 Hey Rich! I snuck in amidst all the bad news. 2025 is starting off with a... um... lotta awful stuff. I don't wanna be a downer because there's also good things happening, but HOLY FUCK DUDE.
	🥁 9:12pm Kat in the chat: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:11 I love it. i can walk there on a nice day.
	9:12pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Unfriend The President" by "Dead Air Fresheners" i'm not sure unfriending is enough. was thinking more along the lines of drawing and quartering
	9:12pm pot8o: i knew 2025 was gonna be shitty, but I didn't expect it to get this shitty this quick
	9:12pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:11 and this is just week one of the weak one, as I call it.
	9:12pm Rich in Washington: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:12 breaking on the wheel needs to make a comeback.
	9:13pm tom tom the pipers son: oh ... that crash....in a populated area....
	9:13pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:12 yes; and tarring/feathering...
	9:13pm Rich in Washington: This song is a group meditation. Think real hard, pray, manifest. The crows are hungry.
	🥁 9:13pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:12 I keep waiting for... uh... something to happen along those lines.
	9:14pm Rich in Washington: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:13 Flaying alive. The Brazen Bull. All too good for them.
	9:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:12 very nice... i know about the duchamp room....much eakins...?
	9:14pm TonyR: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:06 Yikes. Good thing the Eagles rioting was over. That's a popular spot. I miss streaking.
	🥁 9:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:13 I like it! It is a very meditative bit of radio you're doing here, Rich.
	9:14pm ultradamno: At least he's staffed and entire government of people who can honestly say 'well, we don't know what we're doing'
	🥁 9:15pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:13 In addition to it being meditative, it also seems like you're casting a spell. I THOROUGHLY APPROVE. <3
	9:16pm ultradamno: Also, does he think all trans people just got reassignment surgery....that's his readiness argument?
	9:16pm A Bump in Burbank: ↳ Song: "Hold Your Clowns Up" by "Ass And Hammer" We've been hearing loads of Ass & Hammer recently. For the good of mankind.
	9:16pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:13 metaphorical, but there's this www.latintimes.com...
	9:16pm Rich in Washington: I've had to disconnect my smoke detector because I am burning the shit out of a huge sprig of sage.
	9:17pm Rich in Washington: ↳ A Bump in Burbank @9:16 Nice! I don't know if he's even putting it on Bandcamp or selling it through his usual label. He just sent it to me a couple of weeks ago.
	🥁 9:18pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:16 Musky aromas?
	9:18pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:16 native americans call that 'smudging' to cast out evil spirits
	🥁 9:18pm Kat in the chat: Yeah it's an out-demons-out kinda thing
	🥁 9:19pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:16 Can we make a giant one for the whole fucking country?
	9:20pm ultradamno: That's very inhospitable to demon-americans
	9:20pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:18 done before all sorts of meetings, events ... around perimeter of room
	🥁 9:21pm Kat in the chat: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:20 Yes, you're supposed to do it before you move into a new place too. I never seem to manage that.
	9:21pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:21 right...
	🥁 9:22pm Kat in the chat: Rich, I'm actually glad you referred to the crash, because if I hadn't known about it and then picked up my phone at midnight and seen the news reports, I would have freaked the fuck out
	9:25pm ultradamno: The demons in my house always get distracted by the news 'people are worried about US and they elected THAT?'...Annabelle in particular always looks nonplussed, but then she always kind of does.
	9:25pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:21 or in a used car...or in any space where some stupid shit has gone down.
	9:26pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Don't Speak" by "Orchid Spangiafora" this album is top notch
	🥁 9:26pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Don't Speak" by "Orchid Spangiafora" Great!
	🥁 9:26pm Aitch: Idiocracy seems to have come true
	9:27pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:13 something...anything
	9:27pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Extracting the Re-Re (a Ritual Call to Prayer)" b... Renaldo M's recent solo album is also excellent klanggalerie.bandcamp.com...
	9:27pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @9:26 really quickly, too
	🥁 9:28pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Aitch @9:26 I tried to watch Idiocracy like ten years ago and had to turn it off because it was too close to reality THEN.
	9:29pm tom tom the pipers son: @rich...a listener to currents... a good show with a good host.... covers news with music...but rich you do a close to or even better job capturing the 'current mood'
	9:30pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:28 last time I saw it it was on some basic cable network channel, completely sanitized of swear words and interrupted by (real) commercials that seemed like they were from Idiocracy. It was like a weird meta cut of the film.
	9:30pm Rich in Washington: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:29 thanks for the kind words. What can I say. I'm a moody bastard.
	9:31pm tom tom the pipers son: that might be so.... ha ha!
	9:32pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Alone" by "Marianne Faithfull" Ed Sanders sings Poe on that comp? I must hear it.
	9:33pm Ike: Meow!
	9:33pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Ike @9:33 Woof!
	9:34pm Rich in Washington: ↳ David Shortell @9:32 Hi DS!
	9:35pm pot8o: ↳ David Shortell @9:32 and diamanda
	🥁 9:41pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Ike @9:33 Ike!
	🥁 9:49pm Wendy del Formaggio: Snacks... that's a good idea.
	🥁 9:51pm Kat in the chat: I am lacking in snacks and drinks currently.
	🥁 9:51pm Kat in the chat: At least the adult kind of drinks
	🥁 9:51pm Kat in the chat: HI MEIKO
	🥁 9:52pm Wendy del Formaggio: I just downloaded the new GBV about 20 minutes ago.
	9:53pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:52 Niiicee!
	🥁 9:53pm Wendy del Formaggio: I'm catching up on about a month's worth of the new digital bin downloads right now. Oh wait. Is this secret DJ stuff I'm not supposed to talk about? I'd make a horrible spy.
	9:54pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:53 an agent will be by your house shortly
	9:54pm Rich in Washington: I always wondered if DJs ever had to surrender any of those promo records which state they may have to give them back at any time.
	9:56pm A2B: Hi, Rich! Hi, Wendy! Thanks for the industrial set with all those awesome soundbites mixed in! That took me back to my days of hanging out at seedy nightclubs where I would attend industrial shows on Saturday nights, back when drinks were dirt cheap. I made good friends in that scene. In fact, I was introduced to it through a radio DJ I became acquainted with who founded a record label.
	9:56pm ultradamno: I have few remotes Xfinity could come collect at any time
	9:56pm Dean: Nope. That promo scam was nothing but a scam. It's yours.
	9:57pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:54 considering how many of those i've bought from record stores, i'll guess it doesn't happen much!
	9:57pm Rich in Washington: ↳ A2B @9:56 It doesn't get much more seedy than my studio.
	🥁 9:57pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:53 I've heard other DJs talk about it, not a lot, but a lil bit
	9:57pm Rich in Washington: I like seedy music and I like CD music.
	🥁 9:58pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:54 i thought they were all supposed to hand in their resignations
	9:58pm A2B: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:57 Ha! You should see MY room!
	🥁 9:58pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:54 He's already chained up in the basement.
	9:58pm Rudy Schwartz: I've never had to return any promo copies, but I spent thirty days in prison once for ripping the tag off a mattress.
	9:59pm Rich in Washington: Tonight, on The Radio Is Broken: SHOW US YOUR ROOM!
	🥁 9:59pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ A2B @9:56 Hey A2B!
	9:59pm Dean: And I like Cedille Records: https://www.cedillerecords.org/. Founded by Ruth Bader Ginsburg's son.
	9:59pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rudy Schwartz @9:58 Hey Rudy! Speak of the devil!
	🥁 10:00pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:59 I showed Wendy part of one of my rooms. I wanted her to see where my Oblique Strategies card lives now.
	10:00pm Rudy Schwartz: Hi Rich!
	10:00pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Rudy Schwartz @9:58 and all the mother rapers, father rapers and even the litterers avoided you...
	10:01pm Rich in Washington: I remember a KBOO DJ asked Rose Maddox (of the Maddox Brothers & Rose) if she was going to put out any CDs and she said "Honey! Everything I DO is SEEDY!"
	🥁 10:01pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:01 That's adorable
	🥁 10:01pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:57 It takes me a very long time to get through the digital new bin because I listen to everything that comes in. I mean, not every track, but I give nearly every album at least a song or two before deleting it. It's a labor of love, for sure.
	🥁 10:02pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:00 :-) It's true!
	🥁 10:02pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:01 Doug was talking a couple weeks ago about his terrifying digital backlog
	10:03pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:01 Ever hear their cover of Love Is Strange? It's the best thing that ever happened
	10:03pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @10:03 I have not. I think they're really funny, though.
	🥁 10:04pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:02 Mine is currently at 582 items. Items could be an album or a single. This is the most it's been ever. Why? I'm up-to-date with my downloads AND a flurry of new stuff came in this past month. Not all of it comes from WFMU's music director, but most does. I ain't complaining, but it is kinda hilarious.
	10:04pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:03 www.youtube.com...
	10:05pm A Bump in Burbank: ↳ Song: "Frates for String and Percussion" by "Arvo Pärt" The greatest living composer!
	🥁 10:05pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:04 And with that, I'm going to fetch a Cara Cara orange now. Snacks before bed!
	🥁 10:06pm Kat in the chat: I had a bowl of cereal at breakfast but I think I might have another one now. Kinda comforting.
	10:08pm Rudy Schwartz: ↳ Song: "Frates for String and Percussion" by "Arvo Pärt" This is fucking great.
	10:08pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rudy Schwartz @10:08 This whole album is fantastic. Just beautiful. It's a weeper.
	🥁 10:09pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Frates for String and Percussion" by "Arvo Pärt" Into the wishlist. The Jelinek was already there.
	🥁 10:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: I just looked out the window and the view east is beautiful. It's snowing, the river is frozen and covered with snow, and the clouds are low enough to reflect the village's light. Everything is glowing. I wish I could take a photo and share it with y'all, but my only camera is on my phone and it won't really do.
	10:11pm ultradamno: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:06 Shopping for cereal can be triggering substack.com...
	10:12pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:10 Oh wow. We're supposed to get some snow next week. We'll see.
	🥁 10:12pm Kat in the chat: ↳ ultradamno @10:11 Great Grains over here, no monster content
	10:13pm ultradamno: After two deep freezes the temp has bounced here, almost fifty today
	🥁 10:13pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:10 I am such a city girl, but that sounds lovely.
	10:13pm ultradamno: bounced *up, that is
	10:14pm ultradamno: ...wet though
	🥁 10:14pm Kat in the chat: Apparently this was Philly's coldest January in 10 years. Still preferable to Chicago.
	🥁 10:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:12 Does it snow often where you are?
	10:17pm ultradamno: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:12 I'm always tempted to try Carmella Creeper, but never go through with it. They should have come up with a Count Orlox & Bagels with Nosferatomato for adults, to cross-promote with the movie
	🥁 10:17pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:13 It is really lovely. I'm a city kid who found she loves living in a village. I would not be happy in the woods, but being near other people in a village with an actual downtown is my ideal.
	🥁 10:17pm Wendy del Formaggio: YES, YOU RICH! :-)
	🥁 10:17pm Kat in the chat: ↳ ultradamno @10:17 Hahaha!
	🥁 10:19pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:17 Does sound like best of both worlds
	🥁 10:19pm Kat in the chat: Broken English is so damn good
	10:20pm A Bump in Burbank: ↳ Song: "Broken English" by "Marianne Faithfull" This one is a sledgehammer !
	10:20pm Rudy Schwartz: Hey Rich, what's the barometric pressure like where you live?
	10:20pm ultradamno: Yeah, first heard it on this comp www.discogs.com...
	10:21pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rudy Schwartz @10:20 I have no idea. Uzbeks stole my barometer.
	10:21pm TonyR: ↳ Song: "Broken English" by "Marianne Faithfull" 'Member how everyone in 1979 was calling her voice weathered and ragged, and today she sounds like a baby?
	10:21pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @10:20 That looks like a fun comp. I used to buy those types of label/loss leaders when i was a kid but I would've loved that one.
	10:22pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Broken English" by "Marianne Faithfull" i don't think i've heard this since 1980. i liked it then, and don't know why i never got the album
	🥁 10:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:21 haha. That sounds like a good title for a memoir. "Uzbeks Stole My Barometer."
	🥁 10:24pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Ballad Of The Soldier's Wife" by "Marianne Faithf... ooh, nice pick
	10:24pm TonyR: Oh! Just in time for a MF set!!!!
	10:24pm ultradamno: One of the more natural 'sixties icons getting hip to punk/new wave' records
	10:25pm wimpy: Love this comp
	10:25pm Rich in Washington: I actually want a weather station. I don't know why. Maybe my age.
	10:25pm Dean: I was peddling records when Broken English came out. Among those who cared, it was greeted enthusiastically.
	10:25pm Rich in Washington: ↳ wimpy @10:25 me too. All these Hal Willner comps are fantastic.
	10:26pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Frates for String and Percussion" by "Arvo Pärt" ooh, i missed the new arvo part release...
	🥁 10:26pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:25 Because weather is effin' cool. I did a story a buncha years ago about the Nat'l Weather Service's StormWatch training program. And a sidebar about a guy who provides weather info to the Nat'l Weather Service. And tonight I listened to the Tom Glazer "Weather Songs" album. So, maybe it's my age, too.
	🥁 10:27pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @10:26 I just downloaded it. We can listen to it in the Wendomobile.
	10:27pm TonyR: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:25 What if the weather gets strange??
	10:28pm Rich in Washington: ↳ TonyR @10:27 HA!
	10:28pm ultradamno: I read an article cracking the mystery of why oceans are heating up yesterday. Turns out it has to do with the sun, the heat and greenhouse gasses. Could have knocked me over with a feather
	10:28pm TonyR: "I got you, baby!"
	10:29pm northguineahills: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:27 my favorite estonian holy minimalist composer
	🥁 10:29pm Kat in the chat: This was on The Midnight Special? I don't remember this one.
	10:30pm Rudy Schwartz: The Midnight Special occasionally didn't suck.
	🥁 10:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @10:29 Who's your second-favorite?
	10:31pm TonyR: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:29 "The 1980 Floor Show". Plenty of it on YouTube. I had to go to grandma's house (at 10) to watch on a color TV.
	10:32pm Dean: Weather. I visited NYC in the early '00s during a huge snowstorm. I'm a SoCal guy. I've never known extreme weather. But in Manhattan the locals advised me not walk the twelve blocks from my hotel to my destination. "You should take the subway." Huh?! I walked without a problem. Yeah, it was cold. So what? Weather is weather. I don't understand why people care all that much.
	10:32pm ultradamno: I remember the new wave Midnight Special with The Cars where the concession to modernity was no host speaking. Suicide and Lene Lovich were on it and Iggy, though if I'm remembering correctly, they showed the Five Foot One video
	10:32pm northguineahills: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:30 well, peteris vasks is latvian, balt enough for me...
	10:33pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "The Ballad of Lucy Jordan" by "Marianne Faithfull" now i want to hear a Dolly Parton/Brian Eno collaboration
	🥁 10:33pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:33 right?!
	10:34pm Rudy Schwartz: I once rode on an airplane from Memphis to Austin with Iggy Pop. He was a very nice man.
	10:34pm TonyR: [Brian cuts up her lyrics and rearranges them.] "You're not getting a cut of the publishing."
	10:34pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @10:32 During a snowstorm in nyc in 2005, i walked from the delancey to 14th st to get the L. it was shin deep in the middle of Ave A, and there was thundersnow. no traffic. it was a fun walk at 4ish am...
	10:35pm TonyR: ↳ northguineahills @10:34 It's all fun and games until you walk on uncovered ice.
	10:36pm tom tom the pipers son: kid congo, listener franco twinkie's friend, posted an instagram that he was so excited after meeting marianne faithfull he crashed his car, also that he had a blast performing 'why'd you do that' which i guess is a de facto situation...
	10:36pm northguineahills: ↳ TonyR @10:35 you know, i've slipped on ice many a times, but have always landed on my feet (well, at least w/ out my hands or knees touching the ground).
	10:37pm TonyR: ↳ Song: "Strange Weather" by "Marianne Faithfull" I was shocked in 2022 to discover I did not have this on CD - only the vinyl.
	10:37pm Rich in Washington: I remembered seeing New York Dolls on Don Kirschner's Rock Concert. I thought they were terrible then, but then, I had some growing up to do. Probably didn't help that my older brother and dad kept making smart ass remarks about them.
	🥁 10:37pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @10:34 I think that snowstorm was when I took the subway to the Film Forum. I only walked half a block in the snow, but it was fun seeing 7th Avenue so empty and quiet. Kinda like mid-August, just colder. haha.
	10:38pm ultradamno: These damn corn chips are too thin
	10:39pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rudy Schwartz @10:34 saw iggy a few times when he lived in christadora in east village.. once behind him in line at a bodega when he was demonstrably polite to the person behind the counter
	10:39pm TonyR: ↳ ultradamno @10:38 Smash the bag and spread the crumbs on the ice for friction.
	10:40pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:37 At fourteen or fifteen I asked the clerks at my local record store about them...was treated to some homophobic slurs. So I bought the cutout at Marsh supermarket immediately
	10:40pm Dean: Made it to the Marquee Club in '87, when I saw IQ in concert. I admit I cared more about the legacy of the place than the particular band I was hearing.
	10:40pm TonyR: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:39 Iggy is one of the most consistently polite, charming, and behaved rock stars.
	10:42pm Rudy Schwartz: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:39 Yeah, he is extremely polite. He was affably chatting it up with some business guy in the next seat about stocks or bonds or some shit. He seemed like he'd fit in anywhere.
	10:42pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ TonyR @10:40 yes, there's a bigger thing going on in his head than rock stardom
	10:42pm ultradamno: I've never been, but I'd like to go to the 100 Club, not so much for the history, but it just looks so awkward bpb-eu-w2.wpmucdn.com...
	10:43pm still b/p: Not sure why it never caught my interest, but I never watched Rock Concert or Midnight Special for more than a minute when I came home on Friday nights and flipped around the TV channels. Even though there were acts I'd enjoy watching or at least be diverted by or choose to judge and compare performers' live effort. Never. I find it odd and regret it now when particular performances are mentioned.
	10:43pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "The Ballad of Lucy Jordan" by "Marianne Faithfull" mary wing played this one 10 years ago...
	10:43pm northguineahills: ↳ TonyR @10:40 and kicked ass in the adventures of pete & pete!
	🥁 10:44pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Why'd Ya Do It?" by "Marianne Faithfull" ah yes. this freaked some people out back in the day
	10:44pm Dean: Also ventured to the Mountain Grill, the eponym of Hawkwind's top-notch album In the Hall of the Mountain Grill. It was a hole-in-the-wall grill.
	10:44pm A Bump in Burbank: ↳ Song: "Why'd Ya Do It?" by "Marianne Faithfull" Don't nobody spit on my snatch!
	10:44pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:44 It did me. I remember hearing it late one night on the radio and I couldn't believe the lyrics.
	🥁 10:45pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:44 that's really testing "safe harbor"
	10:46pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rudy Schwartz @10:42 he smart enough to know that getting sucked into show biz mental landscape is short track...
	10:47pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:37 i Love when the snow is enough to fuck up everyone's routines. it's beautiful, and i don't mind the snow...and i know how to walk on uncovered ice; but the best part is that it slows people down, and makes the world relatively quiet.
	10:48pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:37 i saw that. i already liked "personality crisis" i'd heard on the radio, so i liked it. it probably helped, too, that my older brother had already turned me onto alice cooper...
	10:48pm TonyR: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:47 I hate when it's time to no longer walk in the street.
	🥁 10:48pm Kat in the chat: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:47 yes that snow hush is nice
	10:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Why'd Ya Do It?" by "Marianne Faithfull" i find the reggae ish track sort of sardonic here
	🥁 10:50pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:25 You can check world weather and all sorts of other stuff on this one. earth.nullschool.net...
	10:50pm TonyR: David and Marianne together!!!!
	10:50pm still b/p: Closed On Account album art made me check: Ralph Steadman is still with us.
	10:50pm coelacanth∅: ↳ still b/p @10:43 i taped them all! (cheap adio cassette)
	10:51pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "I Got You, Babe" by "Marianne Faithfull & David B... i believe this is close to the period where faithfull was homeless, drug addicted
	10:51pm still b/p: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:50 Do you listen to them, or are they stored deep in the bunker?
	🥁 10:51pm WR: ↳ still b/p @10:50 wow. nice. Hope he is having reasonable quality of life.
	10:52pm coelacanth∅: ↳ TonyR @10:48 you mean because the plows have left no room?
	10:52pm A2B: Just had a (very) brief power outage here, but everything's back to normal now. Must have been a power relay problem on the outside. We get them on occasion.
	10:53pm Rich in Washington: ↳ A2B @10:52 Oh fun!
	10:53pm TonyR: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:52 No. Motorists collectively decide they've had enough, and start driving around.....
	10:54pm still b/p: ↳ WR @10:51 You can get his Trump Porky Pie signed print for $169.99.
	10:55pm tom tom the pipers son: the transformation of marianne faithful from the 60's could be seen as a critique of the "english rose" a cliche of feminine ideal that still tracks in england
	10:55pm coelacanth∅: ↳ still b/p @10:51 i was a kid! i bought "concertape" c-120s from radioshack! i recorded over some of them; the others? who knows. i should drag them out.
	10:55pm TonyR: Visualize Trump Porky-piggin' around the West Wing.
	10:56pm coelacanth∅: ↳ TonyR @10:53 oh,yes... back to the rat race again!
	10:56pm A2B: ↳ A2B @10:52 And because of it, I missed half of this MF tribute set. No matter. DJ GeorgyGirl will eventually be devoting next week's Flange & Frigate to an MF tribute.
	10:56pm still b/p: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:55 Monty Hall listening pahty.
	10:57pm TonyR: ↳ Song: "As Tears Go By" by "Marianne Faithfull" "Strange Weather" CD was out of print and not streaming. Had to buy used.

	11:02pm coelacanth∅: William Hooker, nice!
	11:03pm TonyR: I LOVE drifting off to the generic Drummer stream.
	11:03pm Rich in Washington: ↳ TonyR @11:03 I like falling asleep to terrible 70s UFO documentaries.
	11:04pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:03 do you have probing dreams?
	11:04pm TonyR: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:03 Don't you want to see how they end??
	11:05pm Rich in Washington: ↳ TonyR @11:04 No. I never want to know how they end.
	11:06pm TonyR: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:04 "You're not dreaming."
	11:06pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:03 i'm jealous, i can't sleep if any tv/movie is on, no matter how tired i am, my brain will just follow the narrative (or lack thereof) or dialogue. if no dialog, it will be curious about the sounds...
	11:06pm Rich in Washington: My favorite one is The Overlords of the UFOs. The narrator keeps promising to reveal who they are at the end of the documentary but I think they never really do, but you can play a drinking game with every time he makes the titular phrase: "Who are the overlords of the UFOs?"
	11:06pm still b/p: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:05 You'll miss the instructions for welcoming and complying.

	11:09pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:07 i need white noise to sleep (usually a fan, or earbuds of something likewise)
	11:09pm David Shortell: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:51 Her addiction began when playing Ophelia in Tony Richardson’s 1969 Roundhouse production (and film) of “Hamlet”.
	11:09pm TonyR: ↳ still b/p @11:06 Now you're talking abt the Drummer Stream.
	11:09pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:08 insert cartman joke 'here'.
	11:12pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Po$t American" by "Dead Pioneers" wondered on another show if steve martin's arrow through the head bit was actually an ironic take on the treatment of native american's,,, that said basically ...all us whiteys are dead Custers
	11:13pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ David Shortell @11:09 oh ok thanks... over by '73...?
	11:13pm Dean: "all us whiteys are dead Custers" Good lord. No, we aren't.

	11:16pm ultradamno: Okay, that does it! Now listen! Why is it that everything today has involved things either going in or coming out of my ass?! I'm sick of it!
	11:18pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @11:13 well i meant 'dead' in an analogous way to joyce's 'the dead' not a familial burden but a historical one
	11:19pm TonyR: ↳ ultradamno @11:16 "Your ass is very important to us, and we will be with you as soon as possible."
	🥁 11:19pm Wendy del Formaggio: Rich, I hate to step out when Melvins are playing, but I gotta work in the morning. Those books won't check themselves out, ya know! Thanks for the fine tunes. See you on the radio!
	11:19pm ultradamno: Well, that recontextualizes 'well, excuuuu-uuuuuu-uuuuuuuuuuuse me!' dramatically
	11:21pm pot8o: i need white noise to drown out the jackasses slamming doors and blasting rap music at 3:00 in the morning
	11:21pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:19 Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law! Nighty night, Wenders!
	🥁 11:21pm Kat in the chat: goodnight Wendy!
	11:21pm ultradamno: I speculated earlier today that Droopy might be Eeyore...if he was willing to fuck people up.
	11:21pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:18 maybe not the best analogy, been a long time on the joyce

	11:34pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "The Enemy" by "D.O.A." 100%
	11:39pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "The Enemy" by "D.O.A." thought it was doa!
	11:40pm northguineahills: ↳ pot8o @11:22 jagaimo!
	11:41pm Rich in Washington: the record's stuck!
	11:42pm pot8o: the record is broken

	11:54pm northguineahills: ↳ pot8o @11:47 well, if you jackasses roaming the halls....
	11:54pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Break It All" by "Feederz" i wasn't listening closely (well, the radio is competing with other sounds) but that "break it all" wouldn't be a cover of the los shakers song...right? (seems unlikely)
	🥁 11:56pm Aitch: Thanks Rich!

	11:58pm Rudy Schwartz: Thanks Rich. Great show. I need to check out that Beefheart cover album.

	12:01am Rich in Washington: Thanks everybody!
	12:01am ultradamno: On the SNL music special Willner claims booking Beefheart and Miles Davis were his doing and that both performances were regarded as catastrophes (Miles for never facing the camera and Beef for being the one act on SNL to be greeted by absolute audience silence...until a lone heckler yelled something)
	12:02am ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @12:01 RIP, I had not heard that. A band that probably deserves all the proto-punk accolades reserved for Stooges and MC5
	12:04am Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @12:02 Fun fact, the guy that engineered Fun House was a Kingsmen.
