Listener comments!
	🥁 ♥ 8:43pm Aitch: Hey Rich and crew, in early, poor Don-O's stream is busted.
	8:47pm A➡B (A to the B): ↳ Aitch @8:43 Same reason I jumped in here! G'day, Aitch!
	♥ 8:48pm Rich in Washington: Hello, you early birds, you!
	♥ 8:49pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @8:43 Hey, Aitch! It seems to be happening across all the streams, unfortunately. :(
	8:52pm A➡B (A to the B): ↳ Rich in Washington @8:49 I was just telling Don-O that Verizon's NE conduit seems to have been experiencing heavy traffic ever since the year started.
	🥁 ♥ 8:56pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @8:49 Drummer stream working fine for now, fingers crossed. Might all fall apart when the other millions start tuning in, using up all the bandwidth when your show starts
	🥁 ♥ 9:00pm ultradamno: Rich! Breaker-Breakers!
	♥ 9:00pm ironybread: Doing my part to break the radio by tuning in once again
	🥁 ♥ 9:02pm pot8o: hi everyone!
	♥ 9:02pm tom tom the pipers son: hello rich and people...
	♥ 9:03pm Rich in Washington: Hi everybody!
	♥ 9:04pm Rich in Washington: Yes, as Aitch said, you MAY experience a stalling stream. Sometimes you might have to hit play on your playing device.
	♥ 9:04pm northguineahills: always fun to have mad mcgoo moment!
	♥ 9:04pm ironybread: Doors slam! People yell!
	9:04pm A➡B (A to the B): ↳ Song: "Magoo Opening" by "Jim Backus" I can already guess what your going to segue this with.
	🥁 ♥ 9:05pm WR: ↳ Song: "Magoo Opening" by "Jim Backus" I heard it, Mr Magoo using wifi back in 1958.
	🥁 ♥ 9:05pm ultradamno: You may sense a disruption across the streamverse
	9:05pm John from FP: watched mr mcgoo back un the day
	♥ 9:07pm tom tom the pipers son: there's this early 90's movie, thunderheart, about a murder on a native american reservation,m that has a memorable scene with an elderly indian man watching mr. magoo, he says something like, " this man needs to go to the mountain, and get right with himself..."
	🥁 ♥ 9:07pm Uncle Michael: It appears that something is wrong with my radio.
	9:07pm A➡B (A to the B): Oh, shoot, I was sure you were going to segue with Negativland!
	♥ 9:07pm Webhamster Henry: A little Ursonate on top of Prague Radio...
	🥁 ♥ 9:07pm ultradamno: How he put everyone else in danger by neglecting his own personal issues was my favorite part
	♥ 9:08pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Uncle Michael @9:07 HA! Always!
	♥ 9:08pm northguineahills: when i grew up in japan, a nurse that worked for my father, had a walk-in closet of a vhs library. she let me borrow whatever i wanted. that's how i found mr. mcgoo. (didn't have much american entertainment until my last year there)
	♥ 9:09pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Radio Waves" by "OMD" hear this song much too infrequently....
	9:11pm Dean: When XTC was good...
	🥁 ♥ 9:12pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Dean @9:11 Andy Partridge refers to this as his "barking seal" voice.
	♥ 9:12pm tom tom the pipers son: saw the keyboardist on far right (name?) w/ league of gentlemen
	9:13pm A➡B (A to the B): ↳ Dean @9:11 Their Post-Punk phase, a formative time for the band.
	🥁 ♥ 9:13pm Uncle Michael: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:12 Howard Devoto?
	9:14pm Dean: By my lights, he never abandoned it. I had all of the early XTC records, but soon tired of them. Heresy, I know, but I don't like their meager efforts at pop.
	♥ 9:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Uncle Michael @9:13 no
	🥁 ♥ 9:14pm Uncle Michael: Barry Andrews?
	🥁 ♥ 9:14pm Aitch: Took the most stunning girl I'd ever met to see OMD in 1984, but she hated it and I never saw here again
	♥ 9:14pm Rich in Washington: any stalling yet? Seems stable, no?
	9:14pm Dean: Now, Cabaret Voltaire I played for an art history course in college.
	♥ 9:15pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Uncle Michael @9:14 yes thx
	🥁 ♥ 9:15pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Dean @9:14 Ouch. There's pain in my heart.
	🥁 ♥ 9:15pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:14 no issues on my end
	9:15pm John from FP: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:14 don’t jinx it
	9:15pm A➡B (A to the B): ↳ Rich in Washington @9:14 All systems go on my side.
	9:15pm Dean: I know, and I'm sorry.
	🥁 ♥ 9:17pm Uncle Michael: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:14 Carl?
	9:18pm Dean: No carl stalling, but a few mel blancs now and then.
	♥ 9:18pm Rich in Washington: Don't tempt me, Michael! Plus, I've misfiled my Stalling Project CD somewhere.
	♥ 9:18pm tom tom the pipers son: good one dean
	9:19pm Dean: But in fact stream sounds just fine and dandy.
	🥁 ♥ 9:20pm spodiodi: greetings, Rich and all!
	♥ 9:20pm northguineahills: rich, i gotta get some sleep. been sick and working all week. I have good friend touring and playing nearby, and i don't feel well enough to go. thanks, mang!
	♥ 9:20pm Rich in Washington: the small sacrifice I made to Baal just now seems to be helping.
	9:21pm Dean: Gotta break a few eggs if you wanna you know what.
	♥ 9:21pm tom tom the pipers son: feel better ngh...
	9:22pm John from FP: ↳ northguineahills @9:20 feel better NGH
	♥ 9:22pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @9:20 good to see you, however shortly, NGH! Hope everything's groovy with you!
	🥁 ♥ 9:22pm Wendy del Formaggio: RICH! Oh, it looks like I missed Mr. Magoo. Waah. Have you ever seen the Mr. Magoo version of "A Christmas Carol"? That is some trippy shit.
	♥ 9:22pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @9:21 worship satan..?
	🥁 ♥ 9:23pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "C30 C60 C90 Go!" by "Bow Wow Wow" That iconic album cover files.mastodon.social...
	♥ 9:23pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:20 pfft... Eostre (baal's consort) is where it's at, (at least for the next few weeks)
	♥ 9:23pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:22 No! I want to though!
	♥ 9:23pm northguineahills: thanks tom and john!
	♥ 9:23pm ironybread: What kind of world have I created for myself where I still haven't heard this Wall of Voodoo album in its entirety #Regrets #NeverTooLate
	♥ 9:25pm northguineahills: ↳ ironybread @9:23 same universe as myself, apparently....
	9:25pm Dean: The Magoo Christmas Carol is beautiful. I wish I could recover my memory and the broadcast of what I believe was very early Wall of Voodoo on KROQ, pre-LP, when they went by the name Mur do Son, Wall of Sound.
	🥁 ♥ 9:26pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Everything's Gone Green" by "New Order" OH YES, this is the New Order I L-O-V-E.
	♥ 9:27pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Everything's Gone Green" by "New Order" i had to sell this record during my unpleasantness....
	9:27pm Dean: I did hear The Skulls (pre-WoV) a couple times. Damn fine band.
	🥁 ♥ 9:28pm Doug Schulkind: Hello, Radiobreakers!
	♥ 9:28pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Doug Schulkind @9:28 Doug! Howdy!
	🥁 ♥ 9:28pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Everything's Gone Green" by "New Order" Movement, the 1st LP the one I'm most likely to play these days. Still have the original LP
	🥁 ♥ 9:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Aitch @9:28 Same. I love some later New Order, but "Movement" is really the best.
	🥁 ♥ 9:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey Doug!
	🥁 ♥ 9:31pm Wendy del Formaggio: If y'all wanna watch Mr. Magoo's XMas Carol, archive.org gives you two options. One is a clean(er) copy but with a weird aspect ratio: archive.org... Or, a really wonky copy from VHS with the correct aspect radio: archive.org...
	🥁 ♥ 9:32pm Wendy del Formaggio: "And that concluded the pleasant portion of the show." HAHAHAHA
	🥁 ♥ 9:32pm spodiodi: oh god, no!
	9:32pm Dean: No little irony that the visuals of Mr. Magoo on archive.org are impaired.
	♥ 9:33pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:31 Thanks, Wendy!
	🥁 ♥ 9:33pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Dean @9:32 Hahaha, right?!?
	♥ 9:33pm Rich in Washington: The show will get nice again, I promise.
	🥁 ♥ 9:34pm WR: Rich, you do rough radio the way we like it.
	🥁 ♥ 9:35pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Flipper Blues" by "Flipper" Flipper not known here at all, The Wipers another I learned from here. Local radio clearly wasn't broken enough.
	♥ 9:35pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @9:35 I'll be playing the Aussie equivalent to Flipper shortly.
	9:35pm Dean: So, here's the east wall of the cafe I visit most mornings. It's a collage of old punk flyers and posters, including Flipper shows. https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/kGeeJrCRFej_MlqT60bVKQ/o.jpg
	🥁 ♥ 9:36pm ultradamno: Skull I know from this comp, good stuff www.discogs.com...
	🥁 ♥ 9:36pm Wendy del Formaggio: Another Jim Backus gig I love so much is the scene in "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" where he and Buddy Hackett and (I think) Jonathan Winters are passengers in the little airplane with Backus, who directs them to mix him some drinks -- "Well, you just press the button marked 'booze.'" -- and then passes out. "It's the only way to fly! Haw haw!"
	🥁 ♥ 9:36pm Aitch: ↳ Aitch @9:35 Be interesting to see what you think that is?
	🥁 ♥ 9:36pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:33 Oh fuck, I hope not!
	♥ 9:37pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:36 My idea of nice. YMMV.
	🥁 ♥ 9:37pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:37 Music for assholes?
	9:37pm Dean: That comp, ultradomo, is on What? Records, Chris Ashford's label that issued the first Germs single. I bought the single directly form Chris on Sunset Blvd., Licorice Pizza, where he was working.
	9:38pm Dean: "from Chris"^
	🥁 ♥ 9:38pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:35 I'm putting together a show for Drop-In, it'll be local bands I got to see that you didn't, but not bands you'd know.
	🥁 ♥ 9:38pm Wendy del Formaggio: Is this Butthole Surfers I hear? YAY!
	🥁 ♥ 9:38pm ultradamno: Yep, basically a singles collection of the label
	🥁 ♥ 9:38pm WR: ↳ Aitch @9:38 Yay!
	♥ 9:38pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:38 Yes. This song sort of germinated this entire set.
	🥁 ♥ 9:39pm ultradamno: Competitive with the Dangerhouse comps, I'd say
	🥁 ♥ 9:39pm Wendy del Formaggio: Did y'all hear / see DJ Perro Caliente's awesome performance of "Human Cannonball" at Hoof 'n' Mouth? Totally inspiring.
	🥁 ♥ 9:39pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Pittsburg To Lebanon" by "Butthole Surfers" Perhaps my favourite album cover.
	9:40pm Dean: Not quite competitive, since Chris was pretty much a one-man gig. Dangerhouse gifted me their first four singles, because I was working on Flipside at the time.
	🥁 ♥ 9:40pm WR: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:39 yes, he was lovely and fun.
	🥁 ♥ 9:40pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:38 Yay! This was the first BS's album I bought, and I bought it on cassette! I was much too young to have this kind of music... which I learned about on WFMU of course.
	🥁 ♥ 9:40pm Aitch: ↳ Aitch @9:39 There a shiny unopened re-press sitting on my stack.
	♥ 9:40pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:39 No! I need to watch the archive of it.
	🥁 ♥ 9:41pm ultradamno: ↳ Dean @9:40 Well, qualitywise...
	🥁 ♥ 9:42pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:40 One great thing about it is, DJ Perro Caliente is very sweet and unassuming. And then he's on stage singing "Human Cannonball." Perfection.
	♥ 9:42pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:40 I bought the PCPPEP and knew nothing about the Buttholes other than hearing Jello Biafra play a demo song by them on my local community radio station. I got it home and played it at the wrong speed (because it said 69 RPM on the label). I was confused but I loved it so much.
	🥁 ♥ 9:42pm Aitch: A flatmate had Hairway to Steven and I was sold. John E Smoke a particular fave
	🥁 ♥ 9:42pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:42 That is an excellent story.
	🥁 ♥ 9:44pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Aitch @9:42 The first time I heard "Hairway" was also the first time I took acid. Of course! Oh yes, I love "John E. Smoke." Might be my fave song on the album. I think I played a bootleg version of it on my Thanksgibby show.
	🥁 ♥ 9:44pm Wendy del Formaggio: Okay, I gotta make some art now. I'll be lurking and kvelling.
	🥁 ♥ 9:44pm Aitch: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:42 He did a great job too, only thing missing was the megaphone.
	♥ 9:45pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:44 Ooo! Happy arting!
	🥁 ♥ 9:45pm Uncle Michael: Night everyone. I've had all the day I can stand.
	🥁 ♥ 9:45pm Aitch: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:44 A lot of that going on in that particular house, a match made in heaven/hell
	🥁 ♥ 9:45pm Zip7: Hi Rich and Breakers. Just watched "The Zone of Interest." Boy that was an uplifting experience.
	♥ 9:45pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Zip7 @9:45 Nighty Night, mon oncle!
	♥ 9:46pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "dead crazy" by "feedtime" never heard of this band before, think i like...
	♥ 9:46pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Zip7 @9:45 Whoops! Slipped the comment thing.
	🥁 ♥ 9:46pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:45 Thanks! Arting is always happy. I fucking love making things, especially this project I'm doing right now, the Oblique Strategies thing.
	♥ 9:46pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Zip7 @9:45 Hi Zip!
	🥁 ♥ 9:46pm ultradamno: I haven't seen it yet, but I generally like Glaser's work and typically appreciate interesting zones
	♥ 9:47pm Rich in Washington: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:46 They're fantastic! You can buy their almost complete discography for really cheap on the Bandcamps
	🥁 ♥ 9:47pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "dead crazy" by "feedtime" Heavy AF live. And played to scary crowds.
	🥁 ♥ 9:47pm Zip7: Soundtrack was terrific
	♥ 9:47pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:47 thx rich...
	♥ 9:48pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Aitch @9:47 an aussie band..?
	♥ 9:49pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Zip7 @9:45 added to my watchlist
	9:49pm Dean: Need some love for Claw Hammer and Zeke. The latter are playing Sacramento in late May, and I'm taking my family, including kids 18 and 13. In later May they'll be up the street from my place, no kids allowed. Zeke, twice in just over a week.
	♥ 9:49pm Rich in Washington: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:48 Yes.
	♥ 9:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:49 thx
	🥁 ♥ 9:50pm Aitch: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:48 Yes, local Sydney. Pub band, played constantly to survive
	♥ 9:51pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Aitch @9:50 not what i think of as pub rock
	9:52pm Dean: Robbie Fields, aka Posh Boy, brought F-Word to my record store upon the release of their first album.
	🥁 ♥ 9:52pm Aitch: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:51 Not a lot here will be what you think it's like. Depended on which pub.
	🥁 ♥ 9:53pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "No Legs" by "Joanna Went" I like this record. Kind of an outlier for Posh Boy, might have done better on Subterranean
	♥ 9:54pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Aitch @9:52 ha!... but i kinda figured that...
	♥ 9:54pm Rich in Washington: Joanna Went has a great scene as a nightmare figure in the horrible/great movie Du-Beat-Eo.
	9:54pm Dean: Went was all over LA at the time.
	♥ 9:55pm Rich in Washington: I first read about her when I was a teen in a 3rd rate skin mag that was trying to be edgy by running articles about punk rock, especially outrageous female artists.
	🥁 ♥ 9:57pm ultradamno: Imagine having to clean up after doing one of her shows api.x-traonline.org...
	♥ 9:58pm Rich in Washington: Like most music I end up eventually loving, I was utterly repulsed by the pictures of her costumes and performances.
	🥁 ♥ 9:58pm pot8o: ↳ ultradamno @9:57 everyone's having the time of their life in that pic, save for the poor janitor who has to clean it up
	🥁 ♥ 9:59pm Aitch: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:54 I saw Har Mar Superstar at The Mercury Lounge in NYC, which kinda looked like pub gig venue here, but the show was awesome and the crowd weren't reacting. Really odd, crowd that size here same show would have been going (happy) nuts. And no one would shoot anyone
	🥁 ♥ 9:59pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:58 I recall being taken aback by her on New Wave Theater at first too
	♥ 10:00pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @9:59 For some reason, I am really drawn to artists that initially repulse or scare me. I don't know what that says about me.
	10:01pm Dean: I've never known repulsion from images or sounds. Ideology is what repulses me. And bad art.
	🥁 ♥ 10:02pm spodiodi: ↳ Dean @10:01 never from images? lucky :)
	♥ 10:02pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Aitch @9:59 a huh, i haven't been to merc lounge in a long time, yes audiences here can be sedate, nyc's been homogenized
	♥ 10:02pm Rich in Washington: I think the artistic line for me might be stuff like Hermann Nitsch
	🥁 ♥ 10:02pm spodiodi: bad poetry gives me hives
	10:03pm Dean: There's a huge literature about disgust. Worth digging into it. Yeah, I'm antiocularcentric. Images are mostly unimportant to me. I'm bored by film. Compare, however, paintings, which are as much tactile as they are visual.
	♥ 10:03pm Rich in Washington: I've also been to dumb performance art things where people stick sharp things through various sensitive parts and I just find it really boring.
	10:05pm Dean: Yes, Rich, but Chris Burden...?
	🥁 ♥ 10:05pm WR: laters Rich and folks. Work starts at 5AM ET tomorrow. That 4AM alarm is going to be harsh. Thank you Rich.
	10:05pm Dean: Kipper Kids? I love the bits with firecrackers on mounds of whipped cream on their heads.
	♥ 10:06pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @10:05 interesting comparison, but such different historical contexts
	🥁 ♥ 10:06pm Zip7: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:03 Speaking of artists, I just read "Out of Now" chronicling the year-long works of Tehching Hsieh: -- He spent a year in an 11' x 6' cage without reading, writing or speaking -- He spent a year in Manhattan where he never went into an enclosed space (building, car, subway, tent etc.) -- He spent a year where he punched a time clock every hour on the hour -- He spent a year tethered by an 8-foot rope to another artist, and they never touched each other. -- For his last year-long piece, he didn't view, think about or create art.
	♥ 10:07pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Dean @10:05 Love the Kipper Kids. I was corresponding with Harry Kipper/Brian Routh up until his untimely death.
	🥁 ♥ 10:08pm spodiodi: i remember you mentioning something about movies before. but, to me there's almost and endless supply of repelling and disgusting images. more people making images than movies.
	🥁 ♥ 10:09pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Self Pity" by "NoMeansNo" <3 <3 <3
	🥁 ♥ 10:09pm spodiodi: an*
	🥁 ♥ 10:09pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:02 If I have a line it's probably gross out humor. If I get a whiff of something using the repellent images in the service of one-upping South Park or Adult Swim shorts I lose interest right away anymore.
	🥁 ♥ 10:09pm spodiodi: stupid brains/fingers/eyes
	10:10pm Dean: Based on your account, Zip7, I think I really admire that person. Good god, what a trooper. I'd forgotten that Routh had died. I used to watch the other Harry on local SoCal tv. He was an investment broker (by day) a complete lunatic by night, and remains Bette Midler's husband.
	♥ 10:10pm Rich in Washington: even though they're super infantile, I love Tim & Eric's Great Job, Awesome Show.
	10:11pm Dean: FYI, for those who care, Lyn Hejinian died late last month.
	♥ 10:12pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Dean @10:10 The dichotomy of those two guy's lives was pretty amazing. Routh was married to Karen Finley briefly. Could you imagine what domestic fights were like with those two? It would make Joanna Went look like Mr. Rogers house.
	♥ 10:13pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:12 but sadly, Brian died sort of penniless and on DSHS.
	♥ 10:14pm tom tom the pipers son: burden's masochism...american and younger nitsch germanic, more s/m (with nature) and older interesting compare and contrast
	10:15pm Dean: I refrain from imagining how anybody's domestic fights unfold. Was Burden a masochist? I don't think so.
	♥ 10:17pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @10:15 nailing yourself to a car...? getting shot by a friend..? idk...
	🥁 ♥ 10:18pm ultradamno: Masochism adjacent? Who was the lady who kept getting plastic surgery? Orlan?
	10:19pm Dean: I don't think he desired pain. I think he wanted to explore the limits of pain, the nature of extreme modes of being.
	♥ 10:20pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ ultradamno @10:18 yes implants, in face
	♥ 10:21pm Rich in Washington: this all reminds me of Cronenberg's Crimes Of The Future, the recent one - not his early unrelated film of the same name.
	10:23pm Dean: Saw 45 Grave at the Whisky.
	♥ 10:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @10:19 right, the pain was conceptualized, wasn't saying personally that he was a masochist, but conceptualized as a critique of masculinity
	10:25pm Dean: Really good point, tttps. I hadn't thought about him in terms of gender. I think you're on to something.
	♥ 10:27pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @10:25 you can see it also later on in "hobbyist" work,re: train set "globe", or giant police uniforms
	♥ 10:28pm Rich in Washington: I remember reading a bit about Bob Flanagan in a ReSearch Pubs book, something about him exploring pain as a way of dealing with some chronic illness he had. it was a bit much for me and I didn't read about him in depth.
	🥁 ♥ 10:32pm Zip7: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:28 Yeah, it was in "Modern Primitives."
	♥ 10:35pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Zip7 @10:32 I think that was one of a small handful of ReSearch books that I didn't buy. I sorta wish I had ALL of them now, as they're all pretty fantastic. The dark internet before the internet.
	♥ 10:37pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:28 bob flanagan did pop up in my head talking about burden/nitsch
	♥ 10:37pm Rich in Washington: and I dare say that the Incredibly Strange Music series got me into record hoarding again, which led me to DJing.
	🥁 ♥ 10:38pm Wendy del Formaggio: Not all masochists desire pain. Many of the self-identified masochists I know do want to explore the limits of pain and experience extreme modes of being. Many of them also see masochism as: an act of service, a way to transcend the physical plane, a way to connect to something larger than themselves. And, if that requires pain, they'll endure it to achieve their goals.
	🥁 ♥ 10:38pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:35 Re/Search Press was hugely influential to me as a younger person. Pranks, Incredibly Strange Music, Modern Primitives, Angry Women...
	10:40pm Dean: I never made it to Amok Books, sadly.
	🥁 ♥ 10:41pm ultradamno: God....those Amok catalogs, those were great books in and of themselves.
	10:41pm Dean: But Re/Search never approached the attraction of Techniques of Crime Scene Investigation.
	🥁 ♥ 10:43pm Wendy del Formaggio: Aww, thanks, Rich! <3
	🥁 ♥ 10:44pm ultradamno: The Ballard one was really the peak, as far as really leaving as few stones unturned as possible within the space for doing a deep dive into the subject.
	♥ 10:47pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @10:44 I cannot find my Ballard one. I think someone either snatched it from my shelf over the years or perhaps in a fit of mental health cleansing, I might've gotten rid of it. There was this period where I dumped a bunch of super dark shit out of my house. I shoulda kept that one, if so.
	♥ 10:48pm Rich in Washington: I remember getting rid of all my Answer Me! zines. They were just so unrelentingly misanthropic and horrible, I had to get rid of them.
	🥁 ♥ 10:49pm ultradamno: I still have some of those...I may even still have that idiotic racial revisionism book he did after the breakup...that all got ugly.
	🥁 ♥ 10:50pm Aitch: Any of you read Iain M Banks? Surprised no one's tried to make a movie from the Culture novels. Very odd stuff.
	♥ 10:50pm Rich in Washington: but I kinda wish I had them now. ;)
	♥ 10:51pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @10:49 Oh yeah. Redneck Manifesto. I read that. Really stupid. He's an entertaining writer but so misguided and sociopathic.
	♥ 10:52pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @10:50 I've heard of him but have never read any of him.
	🥁 ♥ 10:52pm ultradamno: I have the Sotos Pure collection (kiddie porn free, of course, just the writing), the most tedious collection of writing ever assembled.
	♥ 10:55pm tom tom the pipers son: like the artwork on this grails
	10:57pm Dean: "Not all masochists desire pain." That statement is hard to process. Perhaps we can replace the verb "desire" with "want to learn ab out"? "Seeing as" troubles me. Acts of service are acts of service. My seeing one or another act as such an act seems not right, confusing. I might see it as such an act, but what if it isn't?
	🥁 ♥ 10:58pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:52 Powerful stuff Rich. He's also just Iain Banks when he's not SciFi. Worth a look.
	🥁 ♥ 11:00pm pot8o: ↳ ultradamno @10:52 sotos' work is like a pizza cutter, all edge and no point
	🥁 ♥ 11:00pm Zip7: Hey Rich -- a poster on the cassette talk this week claimed "50% of all vinyl sold never gets played. Cassette players are far more rare than turntables so it’s safe to say that the proportion is even higher for that format. Most people just want the physical object as a trophy and they actually only play the MP3." Agree or disagree?
	🥁 ♥ 11:01pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Anches En Maat" by "Grails" Oh hmm. One of the musicians on this album used to be my across-the-street neighbor in the mid-90s. I like this music more than I liked him. :-D
	♥ 11:02pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Zip7 @11:00 I agree with that statement. I myself have found myself buying more cassettes in the last couple of years but because it also includes the downloads, I just own the cassette like a souvenir, even though I have a working cassette deck in my setup.
	♥ 11:02pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ pot8o @11:00 ha!
	♥ 11:03pm Rich in Washington: Oh wow! they hail from Portland but then, Portland has had a large influx of NY/NJ transplants in the last decade or so.
	🥁 ♥ 11:03pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:03 This was in Vermont.
	♥ 11:04pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:03 Oh wow!
	🥁 ♥ 11:04pm ultradamno: I like having the physical object either way because I started to find since being on Bandcamp I stopped retaining what the names of the tracks I like are (not having the experience of holding something in my hand with the listing while listening anymore)
	🥁 ♥ 11:04pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:03 ...which also sends quite a number of folks to Portland... There's sort of an exchange program. haha.
	🥁 ♥ 11:04pm ultradamno: I just don't check the screen in the same way, I guess.
	🥁 ♥ 11:05pm pot8o: ↳ Zip7 @11:00 i only play my records a handful of times, but i transfer them to flac and listen to them that way
	♥ 11:05pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:04 they shoot 'em with a tranquilizer gun and set them loose in another habitat.
	🥁 ♥ 11:07pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:05 I think that's exactly how that happens! It might explain why I've moved back and forth between NJ/NYC and Vermont so many damn times. Stupid tranq guns! Now I'm immune, and I hope I'm lucky enough to live in VT for the rest of my life.
	♥ 11:08pm Rich in Washington: For the last couple of years, everything in my digital collection is going FLAC. I'm also giving some serious thought about digitizing the bulk of my record collection and paring it WAY down.
	🥁 ♥ 11:08pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Natural Bridges" by "Plankton Wat" 30 seconds in and I love this track already.
	♥ 11:09pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:07 I think hipster's tattoos are really a subtle form of tagging them by some department of natural resources so they can track their migratory patterns.
	🥁 ♥ 11:10pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Natural Bridges" by "Plankton Wat" hearing Cure demo from 1980?
	🥁 ♥ 11:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:09 Shit. I have seven tattoos. That explains it.
	🥁 ♥ 11:11pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:09 Also, this investigative report details some of the challenges with this migratory pattern: www.theonion.com...
	🥁 ♥ 11:11pm Aitch: I've got no tatts, but heaps of scars.
	🥁 ♥ 11:12pm Zip7: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:08 That's what I did before moving to NYC. Only vinyl record I saved was Louvin Brothers "Satan Is Real" because I liked the cover so much.
	♥ 11:12pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:11 HA!
	🥁 ♥ 11:14pm Aitch: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:11 aggressive nutritive replenishment!
	🥁 ♥ 11:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Aitch @11:14 They wiped out the hummus supplies!
	🥁 ♥ 11:15pm ultradamno: If you're up at 6am on Sunday for some reason, Blixa Bargeld is guesting on Serious Moonlight Sonatas www.wfmu.org...
	🥁 ♥ 11:15pm Aitch: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:14 will be horrid downwind later
	🥁 ♥ 11:16pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "2024 {2024} [excerpt]" by "irr. app. (ext.)" really cool album cover
	🥁 ♥ 11:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Aitch @11:15 It's horrible downwind now! The smell of patchouli + unwashed white-kid dreds turns my stomach. Brattleboro, Vermont smelled a lot like that in 1995.
	🥁 ♥ 11:17pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:16 But I do love hippies. I won't lie.
	🥁 ♥ 11:17pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Echo And Reverberation" by "Bell Laboratories" I opened quite a number of my shows with cuts off this album!
	11:18pm Feldy: Rich!
	♥ 11:18pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:16 someone really should track the hipster diaspora. They seem to be leaving Portland. Some of them have moved North across the river to my city, but not for long, as Vancouver, WA is a cultural sinkhole.
	♥ 11:18pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Feldy @11:18 Feldy! Howdy!
	🥁 ♥ 11:20pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:18 Yeah, where are the hippies these days?!? Asheville? Short Mountain, TN? Camden, NJ? I honestly have no idea. Brattleboro got too expensive and bougie for hippies, even the trust-funders.
	🥁 ♥ 11:20pm Wendy del Formaggio: This set is fucking awesome, Rich, esp the Bell Labs and Burroughs remixing you're doing.
	🥁 ♥ 11:21pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:18 there's a buttload here in omaha, the old market (trendy shopping district in the middle of a pretty rough downtown) is full of them
	♥ 11:21pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:20 Aw shucks! Thanks, Wendy! That means a lot coming from you!
	🥁 ♥ 11:21pm Wendy del Formaggio: But... Fuckin' A. I'm still tired, still recovering from marathon and my visit to NYC/JC. I gotta head to bed. 'Night, Rich! 'Night, everyone else!
	♥ 11:22pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:21 Nighty night, Wendy!
	🥁 ♥ 11:22pm Aitch: Just outside hipster central here, more jogging yoga mums and uptight professionals, peppered with the residual downtrodden that were here before the gentrification.
	🥁 ♥ 11:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:21 I know and name good stuff when I hear / see it. Okay, Wendo over and out.
	🥁 ♥ 11:23pm pot8o: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:21 goodnight wendy!
	🥁 ♥ 11:33pm Aitch: Wondered why this sounded familiar, but not. Backwards
	♥ 11:35pm doctorjazz: Hi Rich and streamers, late arrival.
	♥ 11:35pm Rich in Washington: ↳ doctorjazz @11:35 there's a doctor in the house!
	♥ 11:36pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Fundamentals and Overtones" by "Bell Laboratories" I think Wendy played this...Very informative!
	♥ 11:37pm doctorjazz: ↳ doctorjazz @11:36 Some remixing, though...
	11:37pm Dean: Got any Steppenwolf?
	♥ 11:39pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @11:37 Dean, I've got your CD right in front of me (some cracking on the case), will get it out one of these days...
	♥ 11:39pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Dean @11:37 the Herman Hesse book? I actually have a copy in my office at work but I've never read it. I just want people to think I'm smart.
	11:40pm Dean: The band, of course. I've only read one or two of Hesse's novels, an Steppenwolf was not among them. I was disappointed that it wasn't about a pusher man.
	11:41pm Dean: an = and^
	🥁 ♥ 11:42pm ultradamno: I vote for Magic Carpet Ride, the other hit has been rendered too cheesy
	♥ 11:45pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Dirty Harry / They Warned Me Not To Go To Africa"... Got to see Chadbourne once at the original Knitting Factory.
	🥁 ♥ 11:45pm pot8o: ↳ Dean @11:37 i have their second album, nabbed it out of a bargain bin for $1.50
	11:46pm Dean: This Chadbourne is blissfully nuts insane.
	11:47pm Dean: Thank you.
	♥ 11:48pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Magic Carpet Ride" by "Steppenwolf" Early Zorn-ish...
	11:49pm A➡B (A to the B): ↳ Song: "Magic Carpet Ride" by "Steppenwolf" LOL!
	🥁 ♥ 11:49pm ultradamno: At the bank vignette.wikia.nocookie.net...
	11:51pm Feldy: I’m in Nashville for the next week. Drove past Third Man Records earlier. It’s a warehouse of some kind
	♥ 11:51pm ironybread: Fun fact: the drum riff from "Mickey" sounds the same inside out, vis. if you play it backwards and forwards at the same time
	🥁 ♥ 11:52pm ultradamno: I feel like if they met Blue Öyster Cult members would have lost track of which band they were in and whole new supergroups would have been formed iscale.iheart.com...
	🥁 ♥ 11:53pm Aitch: ...playing havoc with my vertigo...
	🥁 ♥ 11:55pm Zip7: ↳ ultradamno @11:52 LOL . . . yep, a bunch of real hair farmers
	🥁 ♥ 11:56pm Aitch: Not just a beard, a whole ecosystem
	♥ 11:57pm ironybread: This show was another tornado of glory, thanks Rich. We're looking very carefully at the situation. (But it's RADIO, there's nothing to SEE!)
	🥁 ♥ 11:57pm spodiodi: thank you Rich! esp for the Tony Basil
	🥁 ♥ 11:58pm Aitch: always a ride, thanks for show!
	🥁 ♥ 11:58pm pot8o: thanks rich! have a great week everyone! if anyone right now is able to, please pledge to ckut, they're doing their own marathon and are only halfway through their goal, at the rate they're at, they may have to shut down in 2026 if they can't get enough funds
	🥁 ♥ 11:59pm Zip7: Great show, Rich! I gotta move my bedtime back on Fridays
	♥ 11:59pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks rich...
	12:02am A➡B (A to the B): Damn, I gotta say this was one helluva show tonight, Rich! Top heavy on 80's retro! Really great selections! Thanks so much!
	♥ 12:02am Rich in Washington: Thanks everybody! See y'all next week!
	12:15am Feldy: Thanks Rich!

The Radio Is Broken with Rich In Washington: Playlist from March 22, 2024

View Rich in Washington's profile

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

	♥ 8:49pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @8:43 Hey, Aitch! It seems to be happening across all the streams, unfortunately. :(
	8:52pm A➡B (A to the B): ↳ Rich in Washington @8:49 I was just telling Don-O that Verizon's NE conduit seems to have been experiencing heavy traffic ever since the year started.
	🥁 ♥ 8:56pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @8:49 Drummer stream working fine for now, fingers crossed. Might all fall apart when the other millions start tuning in, using up all the bandwidth when your show starts
	🥁 ♥ 9:00pm ultradamno: Rich! Breaker-Breakers!
	♥ 9:00pm ironybread: Doing my part to break the radio by tuning in once again
	🥁 ♥ 9:02pm pot8o: hi everyone!
	♥ 9:02pm tom tom the pipers son: hello rich and people...
	♥ 9:03pm Rich in Washington: Hi everybody!
	♥ 9:04pm Rich in Washington: Yes, as Aitch said, you MAY experience a stalling stream. Sometimes you might have to hit play on your playing device.
	♥ 9:04pm northguineahills: always fun to have mad mcgoo moment!
	♥ 9:04pm ironybread: Doors slam! People yell!
	9:04pm A➡B (A to the B): ↳ Song: "Magoo Opening" by "Jim Backus" I can already guess what your going to segue this with.
	🥁 ♥ 9:05pm WR: ↳ Song: "Magoo Opening" by "Jim Backus" I heard it, Mr Magoo using wifi back in 1958.
	🥁 ♥ 9:05pm ultradamno: You may sense a disruption across the streamverse
	9:05pm John from FP: watched mr mcgoo back un the day
	♥ 9:07pm tom tom the pipers son: there's this early 90's movie, thunderheart, about a murder on a native american reservation,m that has a memorable scene with an elderly indian man watching mr. magoo, he says something like, " this man needs to go to the mountain, and get right with himself..."
	🥁 ♥ 9:07pm Uncle Michael: It appears that something is wrong with my radio.
	9:07pm A➡B (A to the B): Oh, shoot, I was sure you were going to segue with Negativland!
	♥ 9:07pm Webhamster Henry: A little Ursonate on top of Prague Radio...
	🥁 ♥ 9:07pm ultradamno: How he put everyone else in danger by neglecting his own personal issues was my favorite part
	♥ 9:08pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Uncle Michael @9:07 HA! Always!
	♥ 9:08pm northguineahills: when i grew up in japan, a nurse that worked for my father, had a walk-in closet of a vhs library. she let me borrow whatever i wanted. that's how i found mr. mcgoo. (didn't have much american entertainment until my last year there)
	♥ 9:09pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Radio Waves" by "OMD" hear this song much too infrequently....

	🥁 ♥ 9:13pm Uncle Michael: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:12 Howard Devoto?
	9:14pm Dean: By my lights, he never abandoned it. I had all of the early XTC records, but soon tired of them. Heresy, I know, but I don't like their meager efforts at pop.
	♥ 9:14pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Uncle Michael @9:13 no
	🥁 ♥ 9:14pm Uncle Michael: Barry Andrews?

	♥ 9:23pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:22 No! I want to though!
	♥ 9:23pm northguineahills: thanks tom and john!
	♥ 9:23pm ironybread: What kind of world have I created for myself where I still haven't heard this Wall of Voodoo album in its entirety #Regrets #NeverTooLate
	♥ 9:25pm northguineahills: ↳ ironybread @9:23 same universe as myself, apparently....
	9:25pm Dean: The Magoo Christmas Carol is beautiful. I wish I could recover my memory and the broadcast of what I believe was very early Wall of Voodoo on KROQ, pre-LP, when they went by the name Mur do Son, Wall of Sound.
	🥁 ♥ 9:26pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Everything's Gone Green" by "New Order" OH YES, this is the New Order I L-O-V-E.

	🥁 ♥ 9:28pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Everything's Gone Green" by "New Order" Movement, the 1st LP the one I'm most likely to play these days. Still have the original LP
	🥁 ♥ 9:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Aitch @9:28 Same. I love some later New Order, but "Movement" is really the best.
	🥁 ♥ 9:30pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey Doug!
	🥁 ♥ 9:31pm Wendy del Formaggio: If y'all wanna watch Mr. Magoo's XMas Carol, archive.org gives you two options. One is a clean(er) copy but with a weird aspect ratio: archive.org... Or, a really wonky copy from VHS with the correct aspect radio: archive.org...
	🥁 ♥ 9:32pm Wendy del Formaggio: "And that concluded the pleasant portion of the show." HAHAHAHA
	🥁 ♥ 9:32pm spodiodi: oh god, no!
	9:32pm Dean: No little irony that the visuals of Mr. Magoo on archive.org are impaired.
	♥ 9:33pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:31 Thanks, Wendy!
	🥁 ♥ 9:33pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Dean @9:32 Hahaha, right?!?
	♥ 9:33pm Rich in Washington: The show will get nice again, I promise.
	🥁 ♥ 9:34pm WR: Rich, you do rough radio the way we like it.
	🥁 ♥ 9:35pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Flipper Blues" by "Flipper" Flipper not known here at all, The Wipers another I learned from here. Local radio clearly wasn't broken enough.
	♥ 9:35pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @9:35 I'll be playing the Aussie equivalent to Flipper shortly.
	9:35pm Dean: So, here's the east wall of the cafe I visit most mornings. It's a collage of old punk flyers and posters, including Flipper shows. https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/kGeeJrCRFej_MlqT60bVKQ/o.jpg
	🥁 ♥ 9:36pm ultradamno: Skull I know from this comp, good stuff www.discogs.com...
	🥁 ♥ 9:36pm Wendy del Formaggio: Another Jim Backus gig I love so much is the scene in "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" where he and Buddy Hackett and (I think) Jonathan Winters are passengers in the little airplane with Backus, who directs them to mix him some drinks -- "Well, you just press the button marked 'booze.'" -- and then passes out. "It's the only way to fly! Haw haw!"
	🥁 ♥ 9:36pm Aitch: ↳ Aitch @9:35 Be interesting to see what you think that is?
	🥁 ♥ 9:36pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:33 Oh fuck, I hope not!
	♥ 9:37pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:36 My idea of nice. YMMV.
	🥁 ♥ 9:37pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:37 Music for assholes?
	9:37pm Dean: That comp, ultradomo, is on What? Records, Chris Ashford's label that issued the first Germs single. I bought the single directly form Chris on Sunset Blvd., Licorice Pizza, where he was working.
	9:38pm Dean: "from Chris"^
	🥁 ♥ 9:38pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:35 I'm putting together a show for Drop-In, it'll be local bands I got to see that you didn't, but not bands you'd know.
	🥁 ♥ 9:38pm Wendy del Formaggio: Is this Butthole Surfers I hear? YAY!
	🥁 ♥ 9:38pm ultradamno: Yep, basically a singles collection of the label
	🥁 ♥ 9:38pm WR: ↳ Aitch @9:38 Yay!
	♥ 9:38pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:38 Yes. This song sort of germinated this entire set.
	🥁 ♥ 9:39pm ultradamno: Competitive with the Dangerhouse comps, I'd say
	🥁 ♥ 9:39pm Wendy del Formaggio: Did y'all hear / see DJ Perro Caliente's awesome performance of "Human Cannonball" at Hoof 'n' Mouth? Totally inspiring.
	🥁 ♥ 9:39pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Pittsburg To Lebanon" by "Butthole Surfers" Perhaps my favourite album cover.
	9:40pm Dean: Not quite competitive, since Chris was pretty much a one-man gig. Dangerhouse gifted me their first four singles, because I was working on Flipside at the time.
	🥁 ♥ 9:40pm WR: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:39 yes, he was lovely and fun.
	🥁 ♥ 9:40pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:38 Yay! This was the first BS's album I bought, and I bought it on cassette! I was much too young to have this kind of music... which I learned about on WFMU of course.
	🥁 ♥ 9:40pm Aitch: ↳ Aitch @9:39 There a shiny unopened re-press sitting on my stack.
	♥ 9:40pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:39 No! I need to watch the archive of it.
	🥁 ♥ 9:41pm ultradamno: ↳ Dean @9:40 Well, qualitywise...
	🥁 ♥ 9:42pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:40 One great thing about it is, DJ Perro Caliente is very sweet and unassuming. And then he's on stage singing "Human Cannonball." Perfection.
	♥ 9:42pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:40 I bought the PCPPEP and knew nothing about the Buttholes other than hearing Jello Biafra play a demo song by them on my local community radio station. I got it home and played it at the wrong speed (because it said 69 RPM on the label). I was confused but I loved it so much.
	🥁 ♥ 9:42pm Aitch: A flatmate had Hairway to Steven and I was sold. John E Smoke a particular fave
	🥁 ♥ 9:42pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:42 That is an excellent story.
	🥁 ♥ 9:44pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Aitch @9:42 The first time I heard "Hairway" was also the first time I took acid. Of course! Oh yes, I love "John E. Smoke." Might be my fave song on the album. I think I played a bootleg version of it on my Thanksgibby show.
	🥁 ♥ 9:44pm Wendy del Formaggio: Okay, I gotta make some art now. I'll be lurking and kvelling.
	🥁 ♥ 9:44pm Aitch: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:42 He did a great job too, only thing missing was the megaphone.
	♥ 9:45pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:44 Ooo! Happy arting!
	🥁 ♥ 9:45pm Uncle Michael: Night everyone. I've had all the day I can stand.
	🥁 ♥ 9:45pm Aitch: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:44 A lot of that going on in that particular house, a match made in heaven/hell
	🥁 ♥ 9:45pm Zip7: Hi Rich and Breakers. Just watched "The Zone of Interest." Boy that was an uplifting experience.
	♥ 9:45pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Zip7 @9:45 Nighty Night, mon oncle!
	♥ 9:46pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "dead crazy" by "feedtime" never heard of this band before, think i like...
	♥ 9:46pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Zip7 @9:45 Whoops! Slipped the comment thing.
	🥁 ♥ 9:46pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:45 Thanks! Arting is always happy. I fucking love making things, especially this project I'm doing right now, the Oblique Strategies thing.
	♥ 9:46pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Zip7 @9:45 Hi Zip!
	🥁 ♥ 9:46pm ultradamno: I haven't seen it yet, but I generally like Glaser's work and typically appreciate interesting zones
	♥ 9:47pm Rich in Washington: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:46 They're fantastic! You can buy their almost complete discography for really cheap on the Bandcamps
	🥁 ♥ 9:47pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "dead crazy" by "feedtime" Heavy AF live. And played to scary crowds.
	🥁 ♥ 9:47pm Zip7: Soundtrack was terrific
	♥ 9:47pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:47 thx rich...
	♥ 9:48pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Aitch @9:47 an aussie band..?
	♥ 9:49pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Zip7 @9:45 added to my watchlist
	9:49pm Dean: Need some love for Claw Hammer and Zeke. The latter are playing Sacramento in late May, and I'm taking my family, including kids 18 and 13. In later May they'll be up the street from my place, no kids allowed. Zeke, twice in just over a week.
	♥ 9:49pm Rich in Washington: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:48 Yes.
	♥ 9:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:49 thx
	🥁 ♥ 9:50pm Aitch: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:48 Yes, local Sydney. Pub band, played constantly to survive
	♥ 9:51pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Aitch @9:50 not what i think of as pub rock
	9:52pm Dean: Robbie Fields, aka Posh Boy, brought F-Word to my record store upon the release of their first album.
	🥁 ♥ 9:52pm Aitch: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:51 Not a lot here will be what you think it's like. Depended on which pub.
	🥁 ♥ 9:53pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "No Legs" by "Joanna Went" I like this record. Kind of an outlier for Posh Boy, might have done better on Subterranean
	♥ 9:54pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Aitch @9:52 ha!... but i kinda figured that...
	♥ 9:54pm Rich in Washington: Joanna Went has a great scene as a nightmare figure in the horrible/great movie Du-Beat-Eo.
	9:54pm Dean: Went was all over LA at the time.
	♥ 9:55pm Rich in Washington: I first read about her when I was a teen in a 3rd rate skin mag that was trying to be edgy by running articles about punk rock, especially outrageous female artists.
	🥁 ♥ 9:57pm ultradamno: Imagine having to clean up after doing one of her shows api.x-traonline.org...
	♥ 9:58pm Rich in Washington: Like most music I end up eventually loving, I was utterly repulsed by the pictures of her costumes and performances.
	🥁 ♥ 9:58pm pot8o: ↳ ultradamno @9:57 everyone's having the time of their life in that pic, save for the poor janitor who has to clean it up
	🥁 ♥ 9:59pm Aitch: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:54 I saw Har Mar Superstar at The Mercury Lounge in NYC, which kinda looked like pub gig venue here, but the show was awesome and the crowd weren't reacting. Really odd, crowd that size here same show would have been going (happy) nuts. And no one would shoot anyone
	🥁 ♥ 9:59pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:58 I recall being taken aback by her on New Wave Theater at first too
	♥ 10:00pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @9:59 For some reason, I am really drawn to artists that initially repulse or scare me. I don't know what that says about me.
	10:01pm Dean: I've never known repulsion from images or sounds. Ideology is what repulses me. And bad art.
	🥁 ♥ 10:02pm spodiodi: ↳ Dean @10:01 never from images? lucky :)
	♥ 10:02pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Aitch @9:59 a huh, i haven't been to merc lounge in a long time, yes audiences here can be sedate, nyc's been homogenized
	♥ 10:02pm Rich in Washington: I think the artistic line for me might be stuff like Hermann Nitsch
	🥁 ♥ 10:02pm spodiodi: bad poetry gives me hives
	10:03pm Dean: There's a huge literature about disgust. Worth digging into it. Yeah, I'm antiocularcentric. Images are mostly unimportant to me. I'm bored by film. Compare, however, paintings, which are as much tactile as they are visual.
	♥ 10:03pm Rich in Washington: I've also been to dumb performance art things where people stick sharp things through various sensitive parts and I just find it really boring.
	10:05pm Dean: Yes, Rich, but Chris Burden...?
	🥁 ♥ 10:05pm WR: laters Rich and folks. Work starts at 5AM ET tomorrow. That 4AM alarm is going to be harsh. Thank you Rich.
	10:05pm Dean: Kipper Kids? I love the bits with firecrackers on mounds of whipped cream on their heads.
	♥ 10:06pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @10:05 interesting comparison, but such different historical contexts
	🥁 ♥ 10:06pm Zip7: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:03 Speaking of artists, I just read "Out of Now" chronicling the year-long works of Tehching Hsieh: -- He spent a year in an 11' x 6' cage without reading, writing or speaking -- He spent a year in Manhattan where he never went into an enclosed space (building, car, subway, tent etc.) -- He spent a year where he punched a time clock every hour on the hour -- He spent a year tethered by an 8-foot rope to another artist, and they never touched each other. -- For his last year-long piece, he didn't view, think about or create art.
	♥ 10:07pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Dean @10:05 Love the Kipper Kids. I was corresponding with Harry Kipper/Brian Routh up until his untimely death.
	🥁 ♥ 10:08pm spodiodi: i remember you mentioning something about movies before. but, to me there's almost and endless supply of repelling and disgusting images. more people making images than movies.
	🥁 ♥ 10:09pm spodiodi: ↳ Song: "Self Pity" by "NoMeansNo" <3 <3 <3
	🥁 ♥ 10:09pm spodiodi: an*
	🥁 ♥ 10:09pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:02 If I have a line it's probably gross out humor. If I get a whiff of something using the repellent images in the service of one-upping South Park or Adult Swim shorts I lose interest right away anymore.
	🥁 ♥ 10:09pm spodiodi: stupid brains/fingers/eyes
	10:10pm Dean: Based on your account, Zip7, I think I really admire that person. Good god, what a trooper. I'd forgotten that Routh had died. I used to watch the other Harry on local SoCal tv. He was an investment broker (by day) a complete lunatic by night, and remains Bette Midler's husband.
	♥ 10:10pm Rich in Washington: even though they're super infantile, I love Tim & Eric's Great Job, Awesome Show.
	10:11pm Dean: FYI, for those who care, Lyn Hejinian died late last month.
	♥ 10:12pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Dean @10:10 The dichotomy of those two guy's lives was pretty amazing. Routh was married to Karen Finley briefly. Could you imagine what domestic fights were like with those two? It would make Joanna Went look like Mr. Rogers house.
	♥ 10:13pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:12 but sadly, Brian died sort of penniless and on DSHS.
	♥ 10:14pm tom tom the pipers son: burden's masochism...american and younger nitsch germanic, more s/m (with nature) and older interesting compare and contrast
	10:15pm Dean: I refrain from imagining how anybody's domestic fights unfold. Was Burden a masochist? I don't think so.
	♥ 10:17pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @10:15 nailing yourself to a car...? getting shot by a friend..? idk...
	🥁 ♥ 10:18pm ultradamno: Masochism adjacent? Who was the lady who kept getting plastic surgery? Orlan?
	10:19pm Dean: I don't think he desired pain. I think he wanted to explore the limits of pain, the nature of extreme modes of being.
	♥ 10:20pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ ultradamno @10:18 yes implants, in face
	♥ 10:21pm Rich in Washington: this all reminds me of Cronenberg's Crimes Of The Future, the recent one - not his early unrelated film of the same name.
	10:23pm Dean: Saw 45 Grave at the Whisky.
	♥ 10:24pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @10:19 right, the pain was conceptualized, wasn't saying personally that he was a masochist, but conceptualized as a critique of masculinity
	10:25pm Dean: Really good point, tttps. I hadn't thought about him in terms of gender. I think you're on to something.
	♥ 10:27pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @10:25 you can see it also later on in "hobbyist" work,re: train set "globe", or giant police uniforms
	♥ 10:28pm Rich in Washington: I remember reading a bit about Bob Flanagan in a ReSearch Pubs book, something about him exploring pain as a way of dealing with some chronic illness he had. it was a bit much for me and I didn't read about him in depth.
	🥁 ♥ 10:32pm Zip7: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:28 Yeah, it was in "Modern Primitives."
	♥ 10:35pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Zip7 @10:32 I think that was one of a small handful of ReSearch books that I didn't buy. I sorta wish I had ALL of them now, as they're all pretty fantastic. The dark internet before the internet.
	♥ 10:37pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:28 bob flanagan did pop up in my head talking about burden/nitsch
	♥ 10:37pm Rich in Washington: and I dare say that the Incredibly Strange Music series got me into record hoarding again, which led me to DJing.
	🥁 ♥ 10:38pm Wendy del Formaggio: Not all masochists desire pain. Many of the self-identified masochists I know do want to explore the limits of pain and experience extreme modes of being. Many of them also see masochism as: an act of service, a way to transcend the physical plane, a way to connect to something larger than themselves. And, if that requires pain, they'll endure it to achieve their goals.
	🥁 ♥ 10:38pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:35 Re/Search Press was hugely influential to me as a younger person. Pranks, Incredibly Strange Music, Modern Primitives, Angry Women...
	10:40pm Dean: I never made it to Amok Books, sadly.
	🥁 ♥ 10:41pm ultradamno: God....those Amok catalogs, those were great books in and of themselves.
	10:41pm Dean: But Re/Search never approached the attraction of Techniques of Crime Scene Investigation.
	🥁 ♥ 10:43pm Wendy del Formaggio: Aww, thanks, Rich! <3
	🥁 ♥ 10:44pm ultradamno: The Ballard one was really the peak, as far as really leaving as few stones unturned as possible within the space for doing a deep dive into the subject.
	♥ 10:47pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @10:44 I cannot find my Ballard one. I think someone either snatched it from my shelf over the years or perhaps in a fit of mental health cleansing, I might've gotten rid of it. There was this period where I dumped a bunch of super dark shit out of my house. I shoulda kept that one, if so.
	♥ 10:48pm Rich in Washington: I remember getting rid of all my Answer Me! zines. They were just so unrelentingly misanthropic and horrible, I had to get rid of them.
	🥁 ♥ 10:49pm ultradamno: I still have some of those...I may even still have that idiotic racial revisionism book he did after the breakup...that all got ugly.
	🥁 ♥ 10:50pm Aitch: Any of you read Iain M Banks? Surprised no one's tried to make a movie from the Culture novels. Very odd stuff.
	♥ 10:50pm Rich in Washington: but I kinda wish I had them now. ;)
	♥ 10:51pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @10:49 Oh yeah. Redneck Manifesto. I read that. Really stupid. He's an entertaining writer but so misguided and sociopathic.
	♥ 10:52pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @10:50 I've heard of him but have never read any of him.
	🥁 ♥ 10:52pm ultradamno: I have the Sotos Pure collection (kiddie porn free, of course, just the writing), the most tedious collection of writing ever assembled.
	♥ 10:55pm tom tom the pipers son: like the artwork on this grails
	10:57pm Dean: "Not all masochists desire pain." That statement is hard to process. Perhaps we can replace the verb "desire" with "want to learn ab out"? "Seeing as" troubles me. Acts of service are acts of service. My seeing one or another act as such an act seems not right, confusing. I might see it as such an act, but what if it isn't?
	🥁 ♥ 10:58pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:52 Powerful stuff Rich. He's also just Iain Banks when he's not SciFi. Worth a look.
	🥁 ♥ 11:00pm pot8o: ↳ ultradamno @10:52 sotos' work is like a pizza cutter, all edge and no point
	🥁 ♥ 11:00pm Zip7: Hey Rich -- a poster on the cassette talk this week claimed "50% of all vinyl sold never gets played. Cassette players are far more rare than turntables so it’s safe to say that the proportion is even higher for that format. Most people just want the physical object as a trophy and they actually only play the MP3." Agree or disagree?
	🥁 ♥ 11:01pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Anches En Maat" by "Grails" Oh hmm. One of the musicians on this album used to be my across-the-street neighbor in the mid-90s. I like this music more than I liked him. :-D
	♥ 11:02pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Zip7 @11:00 I agree with that statement. I myself have found myself buying more cassettes in the last couple of years but because it also includes the downloads, I just own the cassette like a souvenir, even though I have a working cassette deck in my setup.
	♥ 11:02pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ pot8o @11:00 ha!
	♥ 11:03pm Rich in Washington: Oh wow! they hail from Portland but then, Portland has had a large influx of NY/NJ transplants in the last decade or so.
	🥁 ♥ 11:03pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:03 This was in Vermont.
	♥ 11:04pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:03 Oh wow!
	🥁 ♥ 11:04pm ultradamno: I like having the physical object either way because I started to find since being on Bandcamp I stopped retaining what the names of the tracks I like are (not having the experience of holding something in my hand with the listing while listening anymore)
	🥁 ♥ 11:04pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:03 ...which also sends quite a number of folks to Portland... There's sort of an exchange program. haha.
	🥁 ♥ 11:04pm ultradamno: I just don't check the screen in the same way, I guess.
	🥁 ♥ 11:05pm pot8o: ↳ Zip7 @11:00 i only play my records a handful of times, but i transfer them to flac and listen to them that way
	♥ 11:05pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:04 they shoot 'em with a tranquilizer gun and set them loose in another habitat.
	🥁 ♥ 11:07pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:05 I think that's exactly how that happens! It might explain why I've moved back and forth between NJ/NYC and Vermont so many damn times. Stupid tranq guns! Now I'm immune, and I hope I'm lucky enough to live in VT for the rest of my life.
	♥ 11:08pm Rich in Washington: For the last couple of years, everything in my digital collection is going FLAC. I'm also giving some serious thought about digitizing the bulk of my record collection and paring it WAY down.
	🥁 ♥ 11:08pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Natural Bridges" by "Plankton Wat" 30 seconds in and I love this track already.
	♥ 11:09pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:07 I think hipster's tattoos are really a subtle form of tagging them by some department of natural resources so they can track their migratory patterns.
	🥁 ♥ 11:10pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Natural Bridges" by "Plankton Wat" hearing Cure demo from 1980?
	🥁 ♥ 11:10pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:09 Shit. I have seven tattoos. That explains it.
	🥁 ♥ 11:11pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:09 Also, this investigative report details some of the challenges with this migratory pattern: www.theonion.com...
	🥁 ♥ 11:11pm Aitch: I've got no tatts, but heaps of scars.
	🥁 ♥ 11:12pm Zip7: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:08 That's what I did before moving to NYC. Only vinyl record I saved was Louvin Brothers "Satan Is Real" because I liked the cover so much.
	♥ 11:12pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:11 HA!
	🥁 ♥ 11:14pm Aitch: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:11 aggressive nutritive replenishment!
	🥁 ♥ 11:14pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Aitch @11:14 They wiped out the hummus supplies!
	🥁 ♥ 11:15pm ultradamno: If you're up at 6am on Sunday for some reason, Blixa Bargeld is guesting on Serious Moonlight Sonatas www.wfmu.org...
	🥁 ♥ 11:15pm Aitch: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:14 will be horrid downwind later
	🥁 ♥ 11:16pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "2024 {2024} [excerpt]" by "irr. app. (ext.)" really cool album cover
	🥁 ♥ 11:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Aitch @11:15 It's horrible downwind now! The smell of patchouli + unwashed white-kid dreds turns my stomach. Brattleboro, Vermont smelled a lot like that in 1995.
	🥁 ♥ 11:17pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:16 But I do love hippies. I won't lie.
	🥁 ♥ 11:17pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Echo And Reverberation" by "Bell Laboratories" I opened quite a number of my shows with cuts off this album!
	11:18pm Feldy: Rich!
	♥ 11:18pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:16 someone really should track the hipster diaspora. They seem to be leaving Portland. Some of them have moved North across the river to my city, but not for long, as Vancouver, WA is a cultural sinkhole.
	♥ 11:18pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Feldy @11:18 Feldy! Howdy!
	🥁 ♥ 11:20pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:18 Yeah, where are the hippies these days?!? Asheville? Short Mountain, TN? Camden, NJ? I honestly have no idea. Brattleboro got too expensive and bougie for hippies, even the trust-funders.
	🥁 ♥ 11:20pm Wendy del Formaggio: This set is fucking awesome, Rich, esp the Bell Labs and Burroughs remixing you're doing.
	🥁 ♥ 11:21pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:18 there's a buttload here in omaha, the old market (trendy shopping district in the middle of a pretty rough downtown) is full of them
	♥ 11:21pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:20 Aw shucks! Thanks, Wendy! That means a lot coming from you!
	🥁 ♥ 11:21pm Wendy del Formaggio: But... Fuckin' A. I'm still tired, still recovering from marathon and my visit to NYC/JC. I gotta head to bed. 'Night, Rich! 'Night, everyone else!
	♥ 11:22pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:21 Nighty night, Wendy!
	🥁 ♥ 11:22pm Aitch: Just outside hipster central here, more jogging yoga mums and uptight professionals, peppered with the residual downtrodden that were here before the gentrification.
	🥁 ♥ 11:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:21 I know and name good stuff when I hear / see it. Okay, Wendo over and out.
	🥁 ♥ 11:23pm pot8o: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:21 goodnight wendy!
	🥁 ♥ 11:33pm Aitch: Wondered why this sounded familiar, but not. Backwards
	♥ 11:35pm doctorjazz: Hi Rich and streamers, late arrival.
