	5:01pm Mr. x: Good hello.
	5:02pm Mr Fab: Hey hey, mutants!
	5:03pm Scott67: Dear departed Graham Chapman 🌷
	👻 5:03pm Austin Rich: Yeah. Those Pythons keep disappearing. It's very sad.
	5:04pm Otis: I do like the golden fill-in vibes.
	5:04pm David (in London): Finally, a MVM show which the time difference allows me to hear live. Excellent news. Evening all. Hey Austin, DAONA here. Really glad to be able to join you.
	👻 5:05pm Austin Rich: David! Good to see you in the chat! I hope you are well!
	5:05pm HyperDose: Oooh this is nice!
	👻 5:06pm Austin Rich: DAONA released one of my favorite albums of 2019. Well worth tracking down!
	5:06pm Scott67: G'day David!😎🤙
	👻 5:06pm Austin Rich: Popeye was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid, as it was based on one of my favorite cartoons, too. I've watching it TOO many times, but I love it.
	5:07pm David (in London): Hey Scotty, HyperDose, Mr Fab, Otis, Mr X. Bless you Austin, thank you. New EP out this year,; a copy with your name on it.
	👻 5:08pm Austin Rich: Oooooo! Yeah, we should chat again when that comes out.
	👻 5:09pm Austin Rich: I feel like I heard a very sanitized version of this song when I was a kid. This version sort of shocked me when I was in my early 20's.
	5:09pm Mr. x: We sang a cleaner version of Erie Canal in grade school. We had the Silver-Burdette song books. Anybody remember those?
	👻 5:10pm Austin Rich: My mom owned a used record store / bookstore / comic book store when I a kid, and I pretty much spent all my time working in that store listening to George Carlin LPs and reading old comic books. I think I turned out okay?
	5:11pm David (in London): It's made you the man you are today Austin...
	5:11pm Scott67: I heard nothing out of the ordinary Austin? 😉🤙
	5:11pm HyperDose: 1976 Carlin, nice Hey David!
	👻 5:12pm Austin Rich: How long he waits while people are laughing is really part of it for me.
	5:13pm David (in London): That apathy joke was immaculate.
	5:14pm HyperDose: I can see him making the faces to get more laughs
	5:16pm Phillippe: Howdy
	👻 5:17pm Austin Rich: When I first got this Rodney record, I used to crank it constantly, to the annoyance of all my roommates, a the other DJs I worked with.
	👻 5:18pm Austin Rich: I mean, he sort of has a point...
	5:18pm Mr Fab: Haha there's my guy. One of my first (and biggest) radio heroes.
	👻 5:18pm Austin Rich: Rodney is pretty perfect.
	5:19pm Phillippe: I turned 40 in the 90s, so I can add that to the 90's hate...
	5:19pm Mr Fab: i loved all those day-time talk shows. Such a freak show.
	👻 5:19pm Austin Rich: I've been meaning to read Klosterman's new book, "The 90's."
	5:20pm Phillippe: HyperDose, DiL, Scott, hey there!
	👻 5:21pm Austin Rich: Humorously, I don't have the book anymore. Just the flexi-disc. But I got this from an ex, who has passed, so it is one of my prized possessions.
	5:21pm egould: Farty tuba.
	👻 5:22pm Austin Rich: Yeah, that added Tuba by Opus really sells the track. Who knew that Steve Dallas could sing like that?
	5:23pm Scott67: G'day Phillippe, I was in UK & France in the 90's. Then travelling around Australia in a VW Kombi Van. So they were pretty bloody good to me mate. ☕😎🤙
	👻 5:24pm Austin Rich: I found this "Weird Al" record in a thrift store on the Oregon coast, and it did not fit in with any of the other records. (Usual 60's / 70's junk.) I had to buy it, just so it didn't have to live on the coast anymore.
	👻 5:25pm Austin Rich: In a way, this song might hold up better than a lot of Al's back-catalog. It's an original, but it's epic in all the right ways.
	5:25pm David (in London): Hey Phillippe. This is bargain bin assortment from Heaven, Austin.
	👻 5:28pm Austin Rich: My wife got this Mad record for me early on when we started dating, as she heard me off-handedly mention I was looking for it once when I didn't know she was listening to me. That's how I knew that she was just right for me.
	👻 5:29pm Austin Rich: I'm a sucker for this song.
	5:30pm Mr Fab: ha, had this on my beloved boyhood K-Tel comp "Goofy Greats."
	👻 5:31pm Austin Rich: I've got that one around here, too! But I've also got the single. (Not in great shape, as you can tell.)
	5:31pm David (in London): I haven't heard this since God was a boy. Amazing pick.
	👻 5:31pm Austin Rich: I like the instrumental breakdown bit. Wish that was longer.
	5:32pm Mr. X: I considered playing this on the Demento Dimension show.
	5:32pm Scott67: Loved this song as a kid!
	👻 5:32pm Austin Rich: I love Tiny Tim. But i don't think that's a controversial opinion here.
	5:33pm Phillippe: God bless us, everyone...
	5:36pm HyperDose: Please sir...I'm so hungry
	5:36pm Mr. X: No one does that voodoo like you do.
	👻 5:36pm Austin Rich: "This they now do." I say that all the time.
	5:41pm Phillippe: Matt Frewer who was Max on the US shows is still busy. He makes a pretty damn good villain
	👻 5:42pm Austin Rich: Oh yeah. He's pretty much always good.
	5:43pm Otis: Do it to it. Vinyl spins sounding great. Listening while cleaning my home suite.
	👻 5:45pm Austin Rich: Having worked for Universities (as a student employee, and then as an administrative helper for Freshmen), so much of this song rings true to stories that I constantly heard. (And experienced.)
	👻 5:45pm Austin Rich: "Wherever that may be."
	👻 5:47pm Austin Rich: This is actually from some comp, that I cannot locate at the moment, for playlist purposes. (Which explains the quality of the recording.) Hopefully I can locate the record and update the playlist.
	5:47pm David (in London): I think Antonioni should have used this in Zabriskie Point instead of the Tennessee Waltz side.
	👻 5:48pm Austin Rich: Oooooo. Interesting idea, David. I do LOVE Zabriskie Point, but there are some soundtrack choices that are a little... imprecise, I'll say.
	5:48pm Mr. X: Get Along Little Dogie in the Window
	5:48pm Phillippe: I'm speculating that hearing this song as a child is why my wife feels like she needs to adopt every dog in sight
	👻 5:49pm Austin Rich: "Beep Beep" is also from disc two of same comp. I'll find it one of these days. It's one of those three disc "novelty" collections. There can't be that many around here...
	5:49pm Mr. X: Gotta get me one of those Nash Ramblers.
	👻 5:50pm Austin Rich: (Here's where I admit that I recorded these sets before this, so I could be in the chat a little more presently.)
	👻 5:51pm Austin Rich: Yeah. I hear those Ramblers are perfect for Ramblin'. And occasionally, I'm a ramblin' man...
	5:52pm Phillippe: Ramblers were great canvases for those who liked to make rat rods. Or so I'm told, not having any inherent mechanical ability
	5:53pm HyperDose: That Playmates cover looks like a Wiggles album
	5:54pm Otis: I too pick up Prado whenever possible. Off to make up some dinner, have a great show Dimestore show this eve Austin!
	5:54pm egould: Nash Rambler went on to be the Dodge Dart/Plymouth Valiant after Mopar acquisition.
	5:54pm David in California: Thank you, Austin. You played many of my favorite artists.
	5:55pm Mr Fab: "Beep Beep" was also on "Goofy Greats!"
	5:55pm Mr. X: My first car was a Valiant. It had pushutton transmission.
	5:56pm Scott67: Thanks Space Mutant Austin! Seeya next door. 😎🤙☀️🌏🖖👾🚀
	5:56pm Otis: Why not indeed, checked all my boxes there. Good radio times!
	5:56pm David (in London): Thanks Austin, great to able to join in today.
	5:56pm Phillippe: Thanks Austin!
	👻 5:57pm Austin Rich: Thanks so much David! Always good to actually interact in real time.
	5:57pm Mr. X: A version of this was on The Secret Policeman's Ball, yes?
	👻 5:57pm Austin Rich: I think you are correct, Mr. X. But the whole record is pretty excellent, too.
	5:57pm Scott67: Peter & Dudley!
	5:58pm David in California: Goodbye. Or perhaps, au revoir?
	5:58pm Mr Fab: Super fun stuff, sir!
	👻 5:58pm Austin Rich: Yeah, you can't go wrong with Peter & Dudley.
	5:59pm Scott67: Derek & Clive! 🍻😎🤙🦀
	👻 6:00pm Austin Rich: Thanks again, everyone!

Mid-Valley Mutations with Austin Rich: Playlist from April 11, 2022

View austinrich's profile

A combination of collage, new experimental records and other bits and bobs, Mid-Valley Mutations is a tour through the mind of Austin Rich, who has been broadcasting in some form since 1998. Heavily influenced by Dr Demento, Don Joyce and old fashioned College Radio, Austin creates Audio Essays on a variety of subjects, and even just plays records, from time to time. Sometimes Live music and Interviews will grace the program, helping create a situation where you don't really know what you're going to hear, when you tune in. What you need to know is when you enter the Mid-Valley region, be prepared for the Musical Mutations... in whatever form they take.
