WFMU: Music Of Mind Control with Micah: Playlist from October 12, 2021

Listener comments!
	6:02pm ultradamno: That they got Crofts is no surprise, but Seals? No!
	6:02pm tim from washington: I knew it! I knew it! I knew there was something creepy about Seals and Crofts!
	6:03pm swivs: HAIL BAB!
	6:03pm loveless: I feel like I'm in a dark theatre watching a B-movie with this bad narration. Hello all.
	6:03pm brainiac: Hi, Bob
	6:04pm ShelbyG: My parents are Baha’i. Converted about 10 years ago. My father was a Methodist minister.
	6:04pm ron-ji: After years of pale imitations, FINALLY the real Seals and Crofts and the Baha’i make the MMC playlist. Hallelujah!
	6:04pm tim from washington: Summer Breeze my ass!
	6:05pm ron-ji: At least we’re not hearing “Unborn Child.”
	6:05pm queems: oh no
	6:06pm ron-ji: Shelby, that sounds like a fascinating twist (from Methodist minister to Baha’i).
	6:06pm ShelbyG: The Baha’i are imprisoned in Iran for their beliefs. Now. I’m not Baha’i. But. A cult?
	6:07pm micah: shelby its a NRM so it qualifies for MoMC
	6:08pm ron-ji: Not everything Micah plays represents a (bad) “cult,” as his weekly intro explains.
	6:08pm micah: TY Ron-ji
	6:08pm brainiac: Bahai is Natural Resource Management?
	6:08pm prudy: ShelbyG: religious movement?
	6:09pm micah: new religous movement
	6:09pm brainiac: ooooh. Ok.
	6:09pm ShelbyG: ron-ji: it is…but, I’ve had many, many conversations with my parents about the Baha’i faith — it’s a different take on religion, for sure. It’s never felt cultish to me. And I’m a confirmed atheist (as are many PK’s)
	6:10pm ultradamno: Still, this is as torturous as anything a cult has inflicted on anyone
	6:10pm ShelbyG: ultra: agreed
	6:10pm the Hurston moor-elf: that was some peak MoMC
	6:11pm ShelbyG: I guess I would just appreciate some sensitivity. My parents are not crazy cultists.
	6:11pm ron-ji: That’s good to hear. I remember listening to an interview with a member (neither Seals nor Crofts) who made it sound pretty appealing and definitely not culty. But yes, clearly a New Religious Movement.
	6:12pm tim from washington: "Lord only knows why". Was that a pun?
	6:12pm dale: seals and crofts used to get preachy when they were guest hosts on mike douglas. even more so than mason reese.
	6:12pm prudy: ...so many Bobs...
	6:13pm brainiac: Bob's not here, man
	6:13pm ultradamno: Understandable, there are tens of Bobs out there
	💆 6:14pm DjLorraine: Hi, i have to attend a CEU class on zoom. I will visit the archives.
	6:15pm dale: hummingbird is about bahai
	6:15pm ultradamno: Non Fungible Tokens, I think the kids go for
	6:15pm prudy: does this involve Amway?
	6:16pm Tom from Stirling.: Harmful and/or destructive, yeah!
	6:17pm brainiac: Just watched that episode, "The Checks." Funny because they didn't want to recruit George.
	6:20pm ultradamno: Nobody likes rejection
	6:20pm tim from washington: This is more like. Nice palette cleanser to Arts & Crafts, I mean Seals & Crofts.
	6:20pm brainiac: those carpet cleaning chemicals will destroy your sense of rhythm. Also your common sense.
	6:22pm ron-ji: This between-song patter reminds me of those hundred discs of Beach Boys sessions that I can never get enough of.
	6:22pm (Murakami Whywolf))): The Ba'ab [sp?] is, as Micah said, _not_ J.R. "Bob" Dobbs, but old SubGenius tapes at least once took Bahai propaganda tapes and removed all the "The"s. It worked pretty well, especially the '[…]to bring a springtime in the hearts of men.'.
	6:22pm Tom from Stirling.: You can tell some of them don't know all the words to this one.
	6:24pm dale: some of them are singing meow meow meow.
	6:25pm Tom from Stirling.: Is the clapping on tape? Hope so. Or their hands must hurt.
	6:27pm ShelbyG: I am glad for the NRM clarification..I guess I'm always so overwhelmed by the weird stuff. Thanks, friends.
	6:27pm ultradamno: They would never clap-sync!
	6:29pm dale: if only we didn't have to fund ken's retirement account.
	6:30pm ron-ji: Black Mass!!!! Hell YEAHHHHH
	6:30pm ShelbyG: SATAN!!! yeehaw!
	6:30pm brainiac: Just entered it into my calendar in INK
	6:30pm tim from washington: Check with Fabio. He's thrown a few Black Masses in his time.
	6:30pm (((Murakami Whywolf): dale: Don't forget how expensive getting new 'material' for Breckman's masturbatorium can be—without even considering the clean-up costs
	6:31pm ShelbyG: a satanic magician...wow
	6:31pm dale: something rhymes with black masses....hmmm......
	6:32pm tim from washington: Jazz? Did you say John Allen?
	6:32pm brainiac: I wonder if Shooby Taylor was a satanist.
	6:32pm dale: whywolf - i know the cost of premium entertainment is high. and questionable entertainment is sometimes higher.
	6:32pm ultradamno: Jazz? Even Satan draws the line at some point against evil
	6:33pm Ed: As a minister in the Church of the Flying Spaghetti monster, I wonder if there's any pastfarian music?
	6:33pm tim from washington: Satanists sure love their easy listening music. Whoever planted the idea that metal was Satan's jam was waaaaay off.
	6:34pm ShelbyG: Is he singing TO satan??
	6:34pm yippie: the lights on the empire state building are going super funky right now
	6:34pm loveless: @brainiac Hope that's BLACK ink.
	6:34pm (Murakami Whywolf))): I'm never quite sure just how much of his own stuff Crowley believed. I'm sure that he believed that it kept him in money and sex-partners for awhile, and that was enough. Eventually, though, I gather he had to live off Jack Parsons and selling his seed as life-extension pills, after blowing through both his offerings and his initial beer fortune….
	6:34pm brainiac: D'oh! I shoulda used blood, Loveless.
	6:34pm Ed: Is this a song longing for the antichrist?
	6:35pm Glistener MW: John Allee is reminding me of Bryan Ferry, if the latter weren’t a majestic ferry but a leaking emergency-dinghy
	6:36pm (((Murakami Whywolf): brainiac: Shooby always sounded like a pretty wholesome sort, and maybe that killed his jazz career even deader than his scat-singing did.
	6:36pm ultradamno: You know, Satan had Sammy Davis, jr...raise the bar, John
	6:36pm ShelbyG: this is ridiculous...love it
	6:37pm dale: i need to go to the bar for another cherry vodka and seven up.
	6:37pm Tom from Stirling.: This guy is making up the words as he goes along to who knows where.
	6:37pm tim from washington: Where does Satanism fall in the criteria for MoMC?
	6:38pm ShelbyG: good question, tim from WA
	6:38pm loveless: @ShelbyG I agree. He's crooning with such sincerity. How are ya?
	6:39pm micah: satan rules the earth. is that enough criteria for you??
	6:39pm brainiac: Sometimes I can't tell when you're kidding, Micah
	6:40pm Greg: Well at least the music is good... They gave him the hook.. Oh. Boy...swing it baby... I hear something but it ain't singing..
	6:40pm ShelbyG: @loveless: I'm fed & watered..I'm grand! you??
	6:40pm dale: i like his freebase stylings. er, freeform i meant.
	6:40pm Tom from Stirling.: This MoMC show is really funny. This guy reminds me of Bill Murray doing his crooning bit.
	6:41pm (Murakami Whywolf))): ultradamno: Ever hear The Rudy Schwartz Project's "Yodelin’ Satan"? It has something to say about S.D.Jr, Satan, Borgnine, and Shatner.
	6:41pm tim from washington: Good point, micah. Criteria goes out the window in that case.
	6:42pm (((Murakami Whywolf): brainiac: One reason I think Christianity has done so well: Things go well: 'G-d is in charge!' Things go badly: 'Satan is Lord of this world.'
	6:43pm loveless: @ShelbyG Elbow deep in caramel corn and enjoying the show. I'm good (and sugared up).
	6:43pm Sasha: Hey Micah have you ever looked at qanon stuff? I listened to a podcast episode recently about qanon music it was really fascinating and seems right up the alley of mind control music though it's not a classic cult
	6:44pm joe mulligan: sounds pretty "Stranger Things" that MyLab intuitive empath support role
	6:45pm brainiac: @Murakami: And when thing are just meh, we can thank Andy Breckman.
	6:45pm dale: 90.1 going to crap for two minutes as it has for last week and a half.
	6:46pm tim from washington: @sasha - check into previous shows. Micah has covered qanon a couple times I believe.
	6:47pm Sasha: Thanks! Basic search tools weren't helping me out
	6:48pm brainiac: Dinosaur Jr.
	6:50pm tim from washington: @brainiac - hahaha. It does sound like J Mascis' solo records.
	6:50pm Tom from Stirling.: Is rice a paleo diet staple?
	6:50pm Juli: 🤣
	6:51pm ultradamno: Tiny Tim plus clone
	6:51pm queems: D:
	6:52pm ron-ji: I know this one from Now That’s What I Call Cult Music Vol. 17.
	6:52pm Juli: Ppl are out of their mind
	6:53pm brainiac: I'm thinking there was a one-take policy in the spherebeing alliance studio.
	6:53pm ron-ji: Which reminds me: Is there a MMC sampler for the fundraiser this year? (I realize that’s a lot to ask for on top of a live on air Black Mass, but just checking.)
	6:54pm dale: well, come.
	6:54pm ultradamno: I assume that one-take policy was initiated on the fly by an annoyed engineer
	6:55pm Tom from Stirling.: Romeo overdubbing. And playing those keys. Hot stuff. What a talent.
	6:57pm ShelbyG: thank you, Micah!
	💆 6:57pm chresti: Thanks Micah!
	6:57pm brainiac: God, I love this show. See you next week Micah and everybody.
	6:58pm the Hurston moor-elf: Always a pleasure to spend an hour being astonished by your curations, Micah. Great stuff, as ever.
	6:58pm bloumejune: Yes, I was just thinking of how I've enjoyed this show over the years. Thank you!
	6:58pm ron-ji: I agree, brainiac. It is one of the highlights of my week (and yet there are very, very few friends I can recommend it to, which may be more a reflection of my friends than the show).
	7:00pm tim from washington: Thanks, Micah! See you all in hell or with the aliens!
