WFMU: Brian Turner: Playlist from August 30, 2011

Listener comments!
	3:04pm dw: Hey welcome back BT!
	3:04pm Dead Corporate Eyes: hej
	3:05pm paul: this mms bar album sounds amazing
	3:05pm Matt from Springfield: What section of the coach is this snack cart? I'm looking all over here and can't find it...
	3:06pm Coach: below my belt
	3:07pm Carmichael: Hi Bri, and howdy everyone.
	3:07pm Don't Go: @Coach: There.
	3:07pm Coach: too late, the whistle has been blown
	3:09pm Matt from Springfield: I once took a train the time I was in England--never heard these airline-style announcements. Maybe on the longer journeys, I took National Rail (Great Western) from London Paddington to Slough and back. They have scattered announcements on the DC-NY train, but not as many as that recording.
	3:09pm bill: remind me to stay off that flight
	3:10pm Matt from Springfield: Also glad to have you back Brian! You were in Canada? Did you encounter any extreme/"metal" weather there?
	3:10pm Carmichael: @Matt: You never heard "Mind the gap ... Mind the gap"?
	3:13pm Matt from Springfield: On the Tube, sure (London Underground). But the long announcements regarding snack carts, quiet coaches and all, I didn't hear on my relatively short National Rail journey.
	3:15pm Derek Walmsley: These kinda announcements crop up at the beginning of most intercity journeys in the UK ie between major cities. The catering is usually outsourced to a company who, to keep costs as low as possible, try and do the buffet car thing as quickly as possible – they open as soon as you leave the station, and often close up well before the end of the journey. This sense of speed is why they typically read the buffet car announcements off a scrip, as on the MMs Bar Recordings. You can almost hear the costs being cut! This great piece is lots of those announcements edited back to back of course. Probably more than you wanted to know, but hey.
	3:16pm JT: LUBRICATED GOAT!!!!
	3:16pm Matt from Springfield: LUBRICATED GOAT!!!! You read my mind, Brian! Last week or so on Irwin's show I said he should get out Stu Spasm more often--this is the original article!
	3:17pm Matt from Springfield: @JT: Great minds, down to the exclamation points! Also credit Brian for introducing me, through this very cut on this very program.
	3:18pm Cheri Pi: Hell yeahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!
	3:19pm Matt from Springfield: @Derek: Thank you very much, good sir. I was wondering about the background of those announcements.
	3:19pm D.Lactose: CY THOTH!!!!! Violations of consensual reality ADIYM!
	3:23pm Cheri Pi: Head on the Curb?
	3:24pm JT: Wow, not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 matching exclamation points. Weird.
	3:30pm Matt from Springfield: @JT: I know, and all caps, no spelling errors, no comments in between. Like I said, "great minds..."
	3:32pm Cheri Pi: hey, I just ordered Ongaku 70 from AQ today...Brian you are a mind reader.
	3:33pm BT: Yeh Cheri, some killer stuff on there...there's an 80s one too
	3:35pm TG: I saw that Ongaku comp listed and thought it was the recent Group Ongaku reish. Doah.
	3:39pm hubba: Hello Brian and folks... got about 20 minutes in between meetings... Erkin Koray, like a slingshot around the moon...
	3:41pm Matt from Springfield: Harpsichords! PGB played some during a fill-in, Julie followed up, now some "Harpsicorpse"! WFMU once again leads the harpsichord revival!
	3:41pm hubba: speaking of sling shot, The Men rolled through with Milk Music... fuuuuudge! Milk Music was rad, total carry-away guitar, but The Men was like bad acid gone good... they destroyed all! Thanks Brian for turning me onto both!
	3:42pm Matt from Springfield: The Bushwick Under Under Ground Rock Party!
	3:43pm Matt from Springfield: "Dallas Mavericks forward DIRK NOWITZKI shoots a BB gun at you in an open field! But there's more!..."
	3:44pm Matt from Springfield: This track is killa! Oesko killa.
	3:44pm hubba: I've got sweat, and you don't want to know where it is coming from!
	3:45pm BT: killer hubba, where was the show?
	3:45pm paul: this track is killer but it's making me miss Knifehandchop even more than i already was
	3:45pm hubba: Sacramento...
	3:45pm frak: gyyawwwdammmm..
	3:45pm dc pat: hey! I was just talkin' about slingshots with my brother. I made one the other day but those things are dangerous! Can't go shooting them off anyoldwhere in the city...
	3:46pm Dead Corporate Eyes: man, that was really annoying!!!
	3:46pm hubba: They were totally late... "Hi, we're The Men, we're assholes..." 1,2,3 go!
	3:47pm hubba: Glow stick sand gumbo
	3:48pm hamburger: sounds like I tuned in at just the right time!
	3:48pm BSI: christ almighty, do I know when to walk into a room.
	3:50pm hubba: Wait a sec, I think I have a couple pop-up players going...
	3:51pm Phil Gordon: Sounds like he keeps saying "ciabatta". I'm hungry.
	3:56pm Stanley: Crickey! What have I missed?
	3:56pm Peter: thanks for zombie zombie
	4:13pm D.Lactose: CAPN JACK!! ARRGHH!!!
	4:14pm Carmichael: Aren't there any relaxing, happy, lilting tunes about devotion to Satan?
	4:34pm wilD nEIL: Nice place to visit, hated living there, 125° F in the summer!
	4:35pm disastrogirl: It can be a little more pleasant to visit the desert in winter.
	4:36pm andy-t: The happy lilting Satan songs are even creepier.
	4:39pm BSI: Southern AZ was a treat as well. For psychedelic rock formations, I-10 east out of tucson to Dragoon..... wicked alien planetscape.
	4:45pm Carmichael: I lived in Tucson for a while. I loved it, as I don't mind the heat and I'm an athletic nut. Sabino Canyon is a great place to cool off.
	4:48pm BSI: Carmichael: dig... I'm native DC but spent 10 yrs in Tucson. Sabino is great. Mt.Wrightston south of town was a favorite for vertical hiking. And Patagonia to hang out with the ravens and talk sh*t about Phoenix....
	4:49pm Dead Corporate Eyes: I hear those ravens are real sons'a'bitches though if you cross them
	4:51pm BSI: DCE, the ravens are cool as hell. But don't turn your back on a drunk javelina.
	5:03pm andy-t: didn't even know there was a Sheffield Black Psychedelia scene. Getting on it!
	5:10pm Carmichael: I remember an Ajo Mountain ("Mount A"?) for riding our bikes up. No ravens, but those little bastard nuisance pigs were everywhere.
	5:11pm Matt from Springfield: Indonesian folk!--is this the 60s/70s period?
	5:13pm jason: "Hai Clum Dong" is familiar from the Street Music of Java comp on Original Music. I don't think it's the same recording though.
	5:13pm BSI: @Carmichael: well there's Sentinel Peak south of town (known cleverly as "A Mountain" due to the university "A" painted on the side) ... a popular spot for conspicuous consumption and all manner of evil at dusk.....
	5:21pm Matt from Springfield: Blessed be--another fan of "Trans"!
	5:21pm Carmichael: @BSI: That must be what I'm thinking of. Many years and peyote plants between then and now.
	5:24pm Matt from Springfield: @BT: This also means that you're playing a record off the Geffen label--but that's okay because what we're hearing helped to get Neil thrown off that label. The yuppies must've lost their lunch once they heard THIS album on their label!
	5:28pm Mike East: Enjoying the show today, Brian. Welcome back.
	5:30pm BT: Thanks kindly, Mike.
	5:33pm hubba: Is this band coming to the states?
	5:34pm BT: I believe so.
	5:34pm Matt from Springfield: Wow, fellow listener and commenter Yair Yona! My ears perked when I heard his name: Irene Trudel's show, Monday, Sep 5th, Noon-3: http://www.wfmu.org/upcoming/
	5:36pm Mike VL: Great show today Brian.
	5:36pm Matt from Springfield: And I checked a previous mention of his blog, it's the same one! www.smalltownromanceblog.com Also, I just discovered you can see upcoming fill-ins too! I wondered if there was a central page for that! http://www.wfmu.org/upcoming/fillins
	5:38pm Matt from Springfield: And BSI, I haven't forgotten about you, a frequent listener/commenter and guest as well! This was your recent show: http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/40433
	5:39pm Matt from Springfield: So much creative energy and helpful links! I'm feelin' great! But I'm going to get banned as a spammer if I keep this up...
	5:46pm hubba: safe to say i miss comets, yet a new recording... from the vaults?
	5:49pm Martha: Awesome show Brian - great return!
	5:49pm BT: it is a mix of several years of jams, its on this 4LP Three Lobed box set comp w/Sun City Girls, Sonic Youth, Mouthus, etc.
	5:49pm BT: hey Marth
	5:51pm hubba: Thanks for playing this... would've never known
	5:53pm dw: Fun show, thank you!

	5:59pm Carmichael: Thanks Brian!

Brian Turner: Playlist from August 30, 2011

Order and disorder in a freeform haze of terribly-played guitars, shorted-out electronics, found audio detritus, strange sounds from strange lands all around. Psych-punk-junk, collage, even pop. Lots of in-studio live performances to boot.
