	9:48am Cecile: First Dwight Yoakam album

	9:53am Cecile: Megadeth, Peace Sells James Brown, the Jungle Groove comp Mantronix Music Madness African Head Charge - off the Beaten Track Wow, I'm looking at some best of lists from '86 and boy, I hated a lot of stuff back then.

	10:04am MD: Crash and thump Thursdays! All here on the Might FMU!!!
	10:04am Wild Neil: The Feelies, The Good Earth, released 1986. Read about it in the Newark Star Ledger. Also Giant Sandworms or Giant Sand or whatever I think...
	10:05am MD: Oh Yes Pat...Thanks,,,i stand corrected...
	10:05am Cecile: Giant Sand Valley of Rain came out in '85.
	10:05am just dc pat: Kicking Against the Prick--Cave, one of my faves.
	10:07am Whosondephone: 1986 the year I was born!
	10:07am Greg from ZONE 5: The year was 1986: Dwight D Eisenhower was President, and movies cost a nickel…
	10:09am Cecile: Killdozer, Burl
	10:10am Cecile: Cecil Taylor For Olim
	10:10am bogdanPopov: I wasn't even born at that time (I guess I'm currently in the frame of mind Cecile was in 1986), but my favorites from that year that weren't mentioned yet are Bend Sinister, Victorialand and Heyday. Univers zéro's Heatwave is also pretty interesting.
	10:11am Cecile: Chills did Kaleidescope World, Bats Compiletely Yours
	10:12am sphere: morning folks. one of the worst things about the 80s was the chorus pedal. damn you Jaco!
	10:12am MD: This song is giving me Acid Flashbacks...
	10:12am Polyus: Oh yes, Saccharine Trust!
	10:12am Cecile: and those tinkly emulator keyboards
	10:13am sphere: true that Cecile. the DX7 was also pretty crappy....
	10:13am MD: It's this guys voice and his Phrasing...I like it...don't get me wrong...!!!
	10:13am Marcel M: Sick set
	10:14am Marcel M: Nothing wrong with acid flashbacks. I'm jelly..
	10:14am MD: Yes Marcel! I can smell my favorite Dive Bars!!!
	10:14am sphere: this Clown Alley is pretty damn awesome, though.
	10:15am just dc pat: yeah, @sphere, haven't heard this..
	10:15am Cecile: I've never heard of these guys. I like!
	10:15am Polyus: Also on the SST tip, St Vitus 'Born Too Late'.
	10:16am Cecile: Trouble or Candlemass had stuff out then too, right?
	10:17am just dc pat: oh yeah, Live Skull..
	10:18am Jim Devoid: Clown Alley, wowza!
	10:18am Cecile: the skull!
	10:20am Cecile: another one I missed!
	10:23am just dc pat: I love these stuck-in-a-year shows..
	10:25am Cecile: another gem
	10:25am Marcel M: Good lord... all these punk/goth/death rock songs are awesome.
	10:25am sphere: Chris M, you do a really good job with these "year" shows.
	10:27am Chris M.: @just dc pat @sphere: thanks!
	10:27am Wild Neil: In 1986 no google, so finding out about bands was mostly done by reading the Village Voice and going to record stores and record shows in my experience. NOW you can instantly get information and increase your collection goals exponentially. Thank GOD for FMU on the net. In 1986 I was all about the vinyl albums. Used CDs were not a commodity at this point. In 1996 when I got to Las Cruces NM used CDs were very easy to get. Anybody have any idea when cheap used CDs of bands you would actually want start becoming available?
	10:30am Jim Devoid: No Discharge 'Grave New World'??? that came out in '86 ;)
	10:33am cory: g' mornin all
	10:34am just dc pat: Here's a question Chris M: How do you pick the year? Just pull it out of a hat?
	10:34am Polyus: How could we forget Voivod ' Rrröööaaarrr'?
	10:35am Wild Neil: Did The Fall release anything in 86?
	10:35am Chris M.: @just dc pat: the last week of every month, i go back ten years. it's 2016.
	10:36am bill: dcp I suspect the 6 has something to do with it
	10:36am bill: man I can't wait for the 1966 show!
	10:37am just dc pat: Ah, didn't see the pattern or pay attention, one..
	10:38am bogdanPopov: @Wild Neil yeah, Bend Sinister, which is a sort of overlooked album from theirs
	10:43am Cecile: Wild Neil, yes, in 2002. Chris M: What percentage of your year-themed shows is music you heard at them time, and how much is stuff you've discovered in the following years?
	10:47am cory: how are you djs making me like jew's harp? how?
	10:47am Wild Neil: @Cecile-Back in 1996 or so there was a chain of music stores in NM that had a HUGE used CD section (VERY chaotic and unorganized) called Hastings. They had used CDs a-plenty. I just remembered. Spirit Winds in Las Cruces (also a Café and Gift Shop) had a great "college" selection of hand-picked CDs.
	10:48am Chris M.: @Cecile: maybe half and half roughly
	10:48am Ryab: awesome show today chris
	10:48am Cecile: that's cool!
	10:49am Cecile: what was your coolest discovery putting this show together?
	10:49am Chris M.: @Ryab: thanks!
	10:49am Wild Neil: Cocteue Twins?
	10:49am Chris from DC: Nagamatzu would be something I discovered later for sure. Good stuff.
	10:50am Cecile: nah, not slick enough, sorry to say
	10:50am cory: @wild neil, were their tags yellow with hastings written on them?
	10:50am Chris M.: @Cecile: most of the songs i already knew but i stumbled across Mensen Blaffen and something i'll play in the next set.
	10:51am Rev. Turnip Druid: sup
	10:51am Cecile: that mensen was pretty damn great
	10:51am βrian: Rhinocéros comes to mind ...
	10:52am cory: lol in 2006 i was working in a sam goody and i remember none of the music
	10:52am just dc pat: man, I'm hungry..
	10:54am βrian: Here, have some Pad Thai and a spring roll.
	10:54am bill: have some Bruce Hornsby
	10:55am Cecile: I think 1987 was also a good year for music
	10:56am βrian: "EEE-oh-ness-coh," I think.
	10:56am Wild Neil: @Cory-no idea its been like thirteen years now...
	10:57am βrian: Coming up on the Drummer Stream: B.D.N. with Charlie wfmu.org...
	10:59am sphere: i really wonder if there are any bad years for music if you look close enough at each year.
	11:00am βrian: @ 11:00 EST, I mean.
	11:00am Chris from DC: Yes!!
	11:01am just dc pat: whoa, one Mekons album I DON'T have...
	11:01am βrian: A song about stone-ground flour.
	11:01am Chris from DC: Got the vinyl back then.
	11:02am Chris M.: @just dc pat: it's like the best one
	11:02am just dc pat: @Chris M: nuh-uh...
	11:03am just dc pat: I jes keeding, I love all the Mekons albums.
	11:03am Chris M.: @sphere: 1999
	11:04am Chris from DC: I do love Honky Tonkin' Pat.
	11:05am Cecile: don't call me Shirley
	11:05am just dc pat: I think Curse Of..is prob my fave. BILLY.
	11:06am BT: Fall! Bend Sinister!!
	11:08am Chris M.: Bend Sinister is one of my favorite Fall albums and my favorite Nabokov novel so you know it's coming
	11:08am Dean: There were a couple bad years during the second or third century B.C. For example, this performance of a tune from Papyrus Wien 2982 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oCCpKLGZTw) isn't exactly American Bandstand material. But the album on which it appears is otherwise really good.
	11:09am Cecile: I never thought they were going to reissue Forever Since Breakfast. Shows me where my head has been at.
	11:10am thatpatsmith: too bad no Replacements album in 86
	11:14am βrian: I've have an old LP by Atrium Musicæ de Madrid. Must dig that out. Troubadour-ish party music, if I remember ...
	11:15am Cecile: YES
	11:15am Chris from DC: Oh nice, Wipers.
	11:16am Dean: AMdM did some really marvelous records during the heyday of Harmonia Mundi. I'm guessing the one you have, βrian, is either the tarantelles or the villancicos. One of them features a smashed Cognac bottle and a lawnmower.
	11:17am bill: Dean I think plenty of people would disagree and point out that track would not be at all out of place on FMU
	11:17am βrian: Circa 1980 ...
	11:18am bill: I mean I'd rather listen to that than Manic Monday anytime
	11:18am βrian: @bill: Yes, played at 78 rpm, too.
	11:19am Cecile: damn, I think I shelved those at Discount Records in A2 back in the day - we had a big classical section.
	11:19am bill: Yes at 78 rpm? I'm intrigued
	11:20am βrian: It was there or, more likely, Liberty Music.
	11:21am Cecile: I put out that songs of ancient Greece record, too.
	11:22am JP from KC: Greetings, all! Digging the theme today. Sounds like 86 was a good vintage.
	11:22am BT: TPE nice - saw these guys a few times
	11:22am Cecile: it was no 1984, JP, but it was a good year.
	11:22am mary: me too BT
	11:22am Chris from DC: And there it is.
	11:23am JakeGould: 1986? I graduated from high school in 1986. So hey.
	11:23am mary: oh yea Chris from DC
	11:24am cory: what bbc comedy has the same synth/organ part?
	11:24am cory: are you being served?
	11:24am Dean: Tongue was firmly planted in cheek, bill, when I poo-poo'd the papyrus. Something tells me almost nothing would be out of place at FMU, except maybe Tchaikovsky? Telemann? Villa-Lobos (about whom Stravinsky reportedly said, "Why is it that whenever I hear a piece of music I don't like, it's always by Villa Lobos?").
	11:25am Cecile: I've heard the Nutcracker in a number of different permutations here.
	11:25am βrian: Haven't heard much Thomas Tallis, but I'm only a daytime listener.
	11:26am just dc pat: OH yeah, forgot Pussy Galore's version of this album came out that year.
	11:27am Dean: Guilty pleasure, the Nutcracker. Lord, yes, Tallis! I bet there was a 1986 release of "Spem in Alium." That's the segue from Pussy Galore!
	11:27am JakeGould: So anyone else get sick this week? I felt mentholated for a few days but not from meds.
	11:27am bill: anything on z100 in 1986 probably wouldn't get any good clickies
	11:28am just dc pat: after your kid performs in Nutcracker, you kind of don't have a choice. But dislike most other Tchaikovsky. I can deal with Telemann.
	11:28am βrian: WKAR used to subject folks to hours of Elgar.
	11:28am JakeGould: @bill: Z100 was tolerable back in 1986. Not rock or WDRE but still.
	11:30am Polyus: @Jake - I got the crud. Would not be at work today were it not the end of the month, when we kinda all need to be here.
	11:31am JakeGould: @Polyus: Yeah, but did you (do you?) feel oddly mentholated and cool?
	11:32am bill: Roky for king of 1986!
	11:33am Polyus: I guess the cough drops kinda have that effect, yes.
	11:33am Dean: The piano trio? No love? I love Telemann because he wrote SO FRICKIN' MUCH, much of it tedious. His music seems to have been composed as a distraction, while he was paying bills or something. The beauty of Telemann's music is that it is exquisitely generic. I even have an LP of random chamber music of his. The cover is a painting by Degas. What?! Subject me to Elgar, please.
	11:34am Marcel M: Wow this Tožibabe is awesome
	11:34am just dc pat: I was wondering when you were going to play Tožibabe ....
	11:35am Wild Neil: @Polyus-the best recent cough drop experience I had in the car were using CVS lemon cough drops. There were like little mentholated miracles that soothed my savagely sore throat.
	11:35am just dc pat: Tožibabe has only been played one other time on FMU on Bodega Pop.
	11:37am βrian: Quadruple-strength decoction of grated ginger with a little barley malt.
	11:38am JakeGould: You got something from Discharge lined up? I remember a metal friend giving me a tape of “Grave New World” in 1986 but I couldn’t get into it… Just too intense for my new wave-isa tastes. www.discogs.com...
	11:38am Dean: Song X is from 1986.
	11:38am bill: jdcp, that's twice any many spins as Elgar
	11:39am Cecile: I'm sure "pomp and circumstances" has been played here numerous times.
	11:39am Cliff: I should've tuned in earlier, I didn't realize today was 1986....I'll catch the rest of the show on the archives (And Tožibabe was awesome)
	11:39am Chris M.: @JakeGould: not really into that Discharge release
	11:39am bill: we're veering towards Satan i think
	11:40am Dean: s/t from "Clockwork Orange," after all
	11:40am JakeGould: @Cecile: I’d like to pomp her circumstance. rimshot @ChrisM: All good. Me neither. Just saying.
	11:41am Marcel M: Off to work. Amazing show Chris!
	11:41am Chris M.: @Marcel M: thanks!
	11:41am Chris from DC: Hey!
	11:41am just dc pat: HEY!
	11:42am just dc pat: Right on, Chris..
	11:42am Chris M.: haha
	11:42am Jim Devoid: My and my friend Nate's story of "seeing" DISCHARGE on their Grave New World tour on opposite coasts: theappendix.net...
	11:42am JakeGould: Shred the rad, Chris.
	11:45am JakeGould: @JimDevoid: Cool stuff.
	11:50am paul b: I don't know whether Flipper baited audiences in every town they played, but I saw them in DC in the '80's and they did then. Played a version of Sex Bomb where they played the first -- what 3 -- measures but not the forth, the declension bit that goes Ba bom bom bom bom. Deliberately grating
	11:50am Ryab: Never knew so much amazing music was coming out in the mid 80s
	11:53am Andrew Waterloo: There's a nice live recording of Flipper on Youtube that features the bassist having to replace a broken bass with that of GPO from Throbbing Gristle.
	11:53am Ken From Hyde Park: I forget...was a-ha a popular group in 1986?
	11:54am Dean: Damn, "Never Gonna Give You Up" was 1987.
	11:55am Cecile: I have a friend from Bermuda. I should play it for him sometime. ryab, yeah, there was! Even with me not liking a lot of stuff, I still managed to spend a ton of money on records.
	11:55am just dc pat: Great show, Chris M...outside that DC crack from Flipper...
	11:55am bill: fun show, thx chris
	11:56am Cliff: No New Kids on the Block? Huh
	11:56am just dc pat: whoa, '76 show should be good.
	11:56am Chris from DC: What Pat said
	11:56am Cecile: hahahhahahhahaaa
	11:56am βrian: And, of course, Charlie: wfmu.org...
	11:56am JakeGould: @KenFromHydePark: It was popular in 1986, but it was released in 1984.
	11:57am Dean: The presidency of what?
	11:57am Sem Chumbo: hanks, Chris, been a bumpy and only slightly disorienting trip down Memory Lane. See ya next time!
	11:57am Cliff: Thanks Chris M.! Looking forward to 1976
	11:41pm tikbartok: Im pretty sure that Camper Van Beethoven only had two albums out at the time. I was living in New York and my only exposure to their music was though FMU and two shows. One at Folk City, and one at CBGB's. Im sure this was '85 '86. Thanks for the memories!

	9:48am Cecile: Mantronix the album
	9:48am Wild Neil: Chris M et al-Good morning. Peace be unto you all. OK, its 1986 again. I wore buttons, smoked and went to see PIL at the Palladium performing both PIL songs AND Sex Pistols songs. I THINK it was 1986. I was 19. I was a trust fund Syracuse University student....I was SO dumb.....
	9:48am Cecile: First Dwight Yoakam album
	9:49am just dc pat: The Ex put out a great double single in '86 called 1936. I have it on a little mini-cd that I'm always afraid is going to get stuck in the player.
	9:49am Cecile: Run DMC Raising Hell
	9:49am Cecile: METALLICA MASTER OF PUPPETS
	9:53am Cecile: Megadeth, Peace Sells James Brown, the Jungle Groove comp Mantronix Music Madness African Head Charge - off the Beaten Track Wow, I'm looking at some best of lists from '86 and boy, I hated a lot of stuff back then.

	9:59am just dc pat: Oh fucking yeah, BB's!
	10:00am MD: Ric O's finest Production gig!!!!
	10:01am MD: It will be I against them!!! That is the TRUTH!!!
	10:01am bogdanPopov: No Kerosene yet ?
	10:02am MD: There's Kerosene around...something to do!!!
	10:02am Cecile: Motorhead - Orgasmatron
	10:03am Marcel M: BOOM
	10:04am ?: Gargle-Squatch!!
	10:04am just dc pat: Actually Ric O did Rock For Light which I think he fucked up.
	10:04am MD: Crash and thump Thursdays! All here on the Might FMU!!!
	10:04am Wild Neil: The Feelies, The Good Earth, released 1986. Read about it in the Newark Star Ledger. Also Giant Sandworms or Giant Sand or whatever I think...
	10:05am MD: Oh Yes Pat...Thanks,,,i stand corrected...
	10:05am Cecile: Giant Sand Valley of Rain came out in '85.
	10:05am just dc pat: Kicking Against the Prick--Cave, one of my faves.
	10:07am Whosondephone: 1986 the year I was born!
	10:07am Greg from ZONE 5: The year was 1986: Dwight D Eisenhower was President, and movies cost a nickel…
	10:09am Cecile: Killdozer, Burl
	10:10am Cecile: Cecil Taylor For Olim
	10:10am bogdanPopov: I wasn't even born at that time (I guess I'm currently in the frame of mind Cecile was in 1986), but my favorites from that year that weren't mentioned yet are Bend Sinister, Victorialand and Heyday. Univers zéro's Heatwave is also pretty interesting.
	10:11am Cecile: Chills did Kaleidescope World, Bats Compiletely Yours
	10:12am sphere: morning folks. one of the worst things about the 80s was the chorus pedal. damn you Jaco!
	10:12am MD: This song is giving me Acid Flashbacks...
	10:12am Polyus: Oh yes, Saccharine Trust!
	10:12am Cecile: and those tinkly emulator keyboards
	10:13am sphere: true that Cecile. the DX7 was also pretty crappy....
	10:13am MD: It's this guys voice and his Phrasing...I like it...don't get me wrong...!!!
	10:13am Marcel M: Sick set
	10:14am Marcel M: Nothing wrong with acid flashbacks. I'm jelly..
	10:14am MD: Yes Marcel! I can smell my favorite Dive Bars!!!
	10:14am sphere: this Clown Alley is pretty damn awesome, though.
	10:15am just dc pat: yeah, @sphere, haven't heard this..
	10:15am Cecile: I've never heard of these guys. I like!
	10:15am Polyus: Also on the SST tip, St Vitus 'Born Too Late'.
	10:16am Cecile: Trouble or Candlemass had stuff out then too, right?
	10:17am just dc pat: oh yeah, Live Skull..
	10:18am Jim Devoid: Clown Alley, wowza!
	10:18am Cecile: the skull!
	10:20am Cecile: another one I missed!
	10:23am just dc pat: I love these stuck-in-a-year shows..
	10:25am Cecile: another gem
	10:25am Marcel M: Good lord... all these punk/goth/death rock songs are awesome.
	10:25am sphere: Chris M, you do a really good job with these "year" shows.
	10:27am Chris M.: @just dc pat @sphere: thanks!
	10:27am Wild Neil: In 1986 no google, so finding out about bands was mostly done by reading the Village Voice and going to record stores and record shows in my experience. NOW you can instantly get information and increase your collection goals exponentially. Thank GOD for FMU on the net. In 1986 I was all about the vinyl albums. Used CDs were not a commodity at this point. In 1996 when I got to Las Cruces NM used CDs were very easy to get. Anybody have any idea when cheap used CDs of bands you would actually want start becoming available?
	10:30am Jim Devoid: No Discharge 'Grave New World'??? that came out in '86 ;)
	10:33am cory: g' mornin all
	10:34am just dc pat: Here's a question Chris M: How do you pick the year? Just pull it out of a hat?
	10:34am Polyus: How could we forget Voivod ' Rrröööaaarrr'?
	10:35am Wild Neil: Did The Fall release anything in 86?
	10:35am Chris M.: @just dc pat: the last week of every month, i go back ten years. it's 2016.
	10:36am bill: dcp I suspect the 6 has something to do with it
	10:36am bill: man I can't wait for the 1966 show!
	10:37am just dc pat: Ah, didn't see the pattern or pay attention, one..
	10:38am bogdanPopov: @Wild Neil yeah, Bend Sinister, which is a sort of overlooked album from theirs
	10:43am Cecile: Wild Neil, yes, in 2002. Chris M: What percentage of your year-themed shows is music you heard at them time, and how much is stuff you've discovered in the following years?
	10:47am cory: how are you djs making me like jew's harp? how?
	10:47am Wild Neil: @Cecile-Back in 1996 or so there was a chain of music stores in NM that had a HUGE used CD section (VERY chaotic and unorganized) called Hastings. They had used CDs a-plenty. I just remembered. Spirit Winds in Las Cruces (also a Café and Gift Shop) had a great "college" selection of hand-picked CDs.
	10:48am Chris M.: @Cecile: maybe half and half roughly
	10:48am Ryab: awesome show today chris
	10:48am Cecile: that's cool!
	10:49am Cecile: what was your coolest discovery putting this show together?
	10:49am Chris M.: @Ryab: thanks!
	10:49am Wild Neil: Cocteue Twins?
	10:49am Chris from DC: Nagamatzu would be something I discovered later for sure. Good stuff.
	10:50am Cecile: nah, not slick enough, sorry to say
	10:50am cory: @wild neil, were their tags yellow with hastings written on them?
	10:50am Chris M.: @Cecile: most of the songs i already knew but i stumbled across Mensen Blaffen and something i'll play in the next set.
	10:51am Rev. Turnip Druid: sup
	10:51am Cecile: that mensen was pretty damn great
	10:51am βrian: Rhinocéros comes to mind ...
	10:52am cory: lol in 2006 i was working in a sam goody and i remember none of the music
	10:52am just dc pat: man, I'm hungry..
	10:54am βrian: Here, have some Pad Thai and a spring roll.
	10:54am bill: have some Bruce Hornsby
	10:55am Cecile: I think 1987 was also a good year for music
	10:56am βrian: "EEE-oh-ness-coh," I think.
	10:56am Wild Neil: @Cory-no idea its been like thirteen years now...
	10:57am βrian: Coming up on the Drummer Stream: B.D.N. with Charlie wfmu.org...
	10:59am sphere: i really wonder if there are any bad years for music if you look close enough at each year.
	11:00am βrian: @ 11:00 EST, I mean.
	11:00am Chris from DC: Yes!!
	11:01am just dc pat: whoa, one Mekons album I DON'T have...
	11:01am βrian: A song about stone-ground flour.
	11:01am Chris from DC: Got the vinyl back then.
	11:02am Chris M.: @just dc pat: it's like the best one
	11:02am just dc pat: @Chris M: nuh-uh...
	11:03am just dc pat: I jes keeding, I love all the Mekons albums.
	11:03am Chris M.: @sphere: 1999
	11:04am Chris from DC: I do love Honky Tonkin' Pat.
	11:05am Cecile: don't call me Shirley
	11:05am just dc pat: I think Curse Of..is prob my fave. BILLY.
	11:06am BT: Fall! Bend Sinister!!
	11:08am Chris M.: Bend Sinister is one of my favorite Fall albums and my favorite Nabokov novel so you know it's coming
	11:08am Dean: There were a couple bad years during the second or third century B.C. For example, this performance of a tune from Papyrus Wien 2982 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oCCpKLGZTw) isn't exactly American Bandstand material. But the album on which it appears is otherwise really good.
	11:09am Cecile: I never thought they were going to reissue Forever Since Breakfast. Shows me where my head has been at.
	11:10am thatpatsmith: too bad no Replacements album in 86
	11:14am βrian: I've have an old LP by Atrium Musicæ de Madrid. Must dig that out. Troubadour-ish party music, if I remember ...
	11:15am Cecile: YES
	11:15am Chris from DC: Oh nice, Wipers.
	11:16am Dean: AMdM did some really marvelous records during the heyday of Harmonia Mundi. I'm guessing the one you have, βrian, is either the tarantelles or the villancicos. One of them features a smashed Cognac bottle and a lawnmower.
	11:17am bill: Dean I think plenty of people would disagree and point out that track would not be at all out of place on FMU
	11:17am βrian: Circa 1980 ...
	11:18am bill: I mean I'd rather listen to that than Manic Monday anytime
	11:18am βrian: @bill: Yes, played at 78 rpm, too.
	11:19am Cecile: damn, I think I shelved those at Discount Records in A2 back in the day - we had a big classical section.
	11:19am bill: Yes at 78 rpm? I'm intrigued
	11:20am βrian: It was there or, more likely, Liberty Music.
	11:21am Cecile: I put out that songs of ancient Greece record, too.
	11:22am JP from KC: Greetings, all! Digging the theme today. Sounds like 86 was a good vintage.
	11:22am BT: TPE nice - saw these guys a few times
	11:22am Cecile: it was no 1984, JP, but it was a good year.
	11:22am mary: me too BT
	11:22am Chris from DC: And there it is.
	11:23am JakeGould: 1986? I graduated from high school in 1986. So hey.
	11:23am mary: oh yea Chris from DC
	11:24am cory: what bbc comedy has the same synth/organ part?
	11:24am cory: are you being served?
	11:24am Dean: Tongue was firmly planted in cheek, bill, when I poo-poo'd the papyrus. Something tells me almost nothing would be out of place at FMU, except maybe Tchaikovsky? Telemann? Villa-Lobos (about whom Stravinsky reportedly said, "Why is it that whenever I hear a piece of music I don't like, it's always by Villa Lobos?").
	11:25am Cecile: I've heard the Nutcracker in a number of different permutations here.
	11:25am βrian: Haven't heard much Thomas Tallis, but I'm only a daytime listener.
	11:26am just dc pat: OH yeah, forgot Pussy Galore's version of this album came out that year.
	11:27am Dean: Guilty pleasure, the Nutcracker. Lord, yes, Tallis! I bet there was a 1986 release of "Spem in Alium." That's the segue from Pussy Galore!
	11:27am JakeGould: So anyone else get sick this week? I felt mentholated for a few days but not from meds.
	11:27am bill: anything on z100 in 1986 probably wouldn't get any good clickies
	11:28am just dc pat: after your kid performs in Nutcracker, you kind of don't have a choice. But dislike most other Tchaikovsky. I can deal with Telemann.
	11:28am βrian: WKAR used to subject folks to hours of Elgar.
	11:28am JakeGould: @bill: Z100 was tolerable back in 1986. Not rock or WDRE but still.
	11:30am Polyus: @Jake - I got the crud. Would not be at work today were it not the end of the month, when we kinda all need to be here.
	11:31am JakeGould: @Polyus: Yeah, but did you (do you?) feel oddly mentholated and cool?
	11:32am bill: Roky for king of 1986!
	11:33am Polyus: I guess the cough drops kinda have that effect, yes.
	11:33am Dean: The piano trio? No love? I love Telemann because he wrote SO FRICKIN' MUCH, much of it tedious. His music seems to have been composed as a distraction, while he was paying bills or something. The beauty of Telemann's music is that it is exquisitely generic. I even have an LP of random chamber music of his. The cover is a painting by Degas. What?! Subject me to Elgar, please.
	11:34am Marcel M: Wow this Tožibabe is awesome
	11:34am just dc pat: I was wondering when you were going to play Tožibabe ....
	11:35am Wild Neil: @Polyus-the best recent cough drop experience I had in the car were using CVS lemon cough drops. There were like little mentholated miracles that soothed my savagely sore throat.
	11:35am just dc pat: Tožibabe has only been played one other time on FMU on Bodega Pop.
	11:37am βrian: Quadruple-strength decoction of grated ginger with a little barley malt.
	11:38am JakeGould: You got something from Discharge lined up? I remember a metal friend giving me a tape of “Grave New World” in 1986 but I couldn’t get into it… Just too intense for my new wave-isa tastes. www.discogs.com...
	11:38am Dean: Song X is from 1986.
	11:38am bill: jdcp, that's twice any many spins as Elgar
	11:39am Cecile: I'm sure "pomp and circumstances" has been played here numerous times.
	11:39am Cliff: I should've tuned in earlier, I didn't realize today was 1986....I'll catch the rest of the show on the archives (And Tožibabe was awesome)
	11:39am Chris M.: @JakeGould: not really into that Discharge release
	11:39am bill: we're veering towards Satan i think
	11:40am Dean: s/t from "Clockwork Orange," after all
	11:40am JakeGould: @Cecile: I’d like to pomp her circumstance. rimshot @ChrisM: All good. Me neither. Just saying.
	11:41am Marcel M: Off to work. Amazing show Chris!
	11:41am Chris M.: @Marcel M: thanks!
	11:41am Chris from DC: Hey!
	11:41am just dc pat: HEY!
	11:42am just dc pat: Right on, Chris..
	11:42am Chris M.: haha
	11:42am Jim Devoid: My and my friend Nate's story of "seeing" DISCHARGE on their Grave New World tour on opposite coasts: theappendix.net...
	11:42am JakeGould: Shred the rad, Chris.
	11:45am JakeGould: @JimDevoid: Cool stuff.
	11:50am paul b: I don't know whether Flipper baited audiences in every town they played, but I saw them in DC in the '80's and they did then. Played a version of Sex Bomb where they played the first -- what 3 -- measures but not the forth, the declension bit that goes Ba bom bom bom bom. Deliberately grating
	11:50am Ryab: Never knew so much amazing music was coming out in the mid 80s
	11:53am Andrew Waterloo: There's a nice live recording of Flipper on Youtube that features the bassist having to replace a broken bass with that of GPO from Throbbing Gristle.
	11:53am Ken From Hyde Park: I forget...was a-ha a popular group in 1986?
	11:54am Dean: Damn, "Never Gonna Give You Up" was 1987.
	11:55am Cecile: I have a friend from Bermuda. I should play it for him sometime. ryab, yeah, there was! Even with me not liking a lot of stuff, I still managed to spend a ton of money on records.
	11:55am just dc pat: Great show, Chris M...outside that DC crack from Flipper...
	11:55am bill: fun show, thx chris
	11:56am Cliff: No New Kids on the Block? Huh
	11:56am just dc pat: whoa, '76 show should be good.
	11:56am Chris from DC: What Pat said
	11:56am Cecile: hahahhahahhahaaa
	11:56am βrian: And, of course, Charlie: wfmu.org...
	11:56am JakeGould: @KenFromHydePark: It was popular in 1986, but it was released in 1984.
	11:57am Dean: The presidency of what?
	11:57am Sem Chumbo: hanks, Chris, been a bumpy and only slightly disorienting trip down Memory Lane. See ya next time!
	11:57am Cliff: Thanks Chris M.! Looking forward to 1976
	11:41pm tikbartok: Im pretty sure that Camper Van Beethoven only had two albums out at the time. I was living in New York and my only exposure to their music was though FMU and two shows. One at Folk City, and one at CBGB's. Im sure this was '85 '86. Thanks for the memories!
