Favoriting Mid-Valley Mutations with Austin Rich: Playlist from June 7, 2022 Favoriting

austinrich's avatar View austinrich's profile Favoriting

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.

If memory serves, Cosmic Jim (a DJ at my previous station) introduced me to Morgen. And at that time, I don't think a proper re-issue had happened, so I was happy to see it is more easily available.
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 9:11pm

Are there math-capchas on your end, when you post a comment? All I have to do is click a button, which gives me a chance to proofread my mistakes, and still post them anyway.

Hi Austin Rich. Yeah Stiv’s later career is fine in my book. I love Dead Boys, and like the solo stuff. I’ll get down with Lords of the New Church. I either have very good taste, or very low standards. Don’t matter. Don’t care.

In the mid-70s in Coos Bay, one of my friends' dad worked for Warner Cable. My friend said he was involved in some sort of project to provide an on-demand movie service. But nothing ever came of it until at least 30 years later.

Austin Rich:

Ha! That's great, Mr. X!
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 9:32pm
Austin Rich:

My Dad worked for a phone networking company in the 80's. He kept talking about how there was gonna be a "cable channel" that would be for your computer, and that would be how you would get news and software and stuff. I remember thinking, "My dad smokes too much pot."

Which might have been true, but the internet wasn't too much later... and he was right.
Avatar 9:34pm
Mr. X:

Did your dad predict that before or after Max Headroom aired?
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 9:35pm
Austin Rich:

This was inside knowledge; his company was connected to Intel. But I just knew that my dad worked with phones, and had an interest in computers... so it sounded like wishful thinking to a kid.

Hey Rich don’t get hung up on externalities. That’s stuff you can’t control. Focus on what you can control; your life, your relationships, this radio show. The other radio show. Bring joy and goodness to those things, and you bring more joy and goodness into the world.

But to get caught up in the misery projected in the news media is a waste of life. It’s degrades your soul. I don’t know what purpose it serves, but it’s not to uplift you; or to unify people in peace and understanding.

My two cents.

My mom, when we were kids, would sing, "Dream A Little Dream of Me," and play it on the piano, more in the Mamma & The Pappas style, not so much Doris Day. She used to play it ALL the time. But I haven't heard her play that in years.

The Human Genome Project was the first band that I ever had on my show, to perform live. I had done a small tour, with them and Empty Room, as the "roadie." When I got back, they both played on my show as a "final" stop. You can hear both shows, that featured each band doing a full set, here:

The Max Headroom / Martin Newell connection is: Martin Newell lived with Steve Roberts, who wrote Max Headroom. They are still good friends, to this day. (Though they haven't seen each other in person in ages.)

Heather and I need to re-edit the Martin Interview we did, and air in on this show. He told some great stories, and he's just a hilarious dude.

We should probably catch up with Martin; Heather met him in person once, and they're basically best friends now.

He's so sweet and fun and cool. Such a great guy and so freaking talented.....

He was so nice to us. And gave us the dirt on Steve, so that was cool!

I like his Twitter feed. Always posting videos performing songs in his apartment. Acoustic guitar or piano. Always cheeky.

The model on the cover of Exotica II is about as exotic as mini-marshmallows suspended in red jell-o.

Every once in awhile, Martin Denny just has a nice looking woman on the cover of his albums, and they aren't doing the exotic-girl-showing-cleavage shot.

Sometimes. I mean, he knows what his audience likes.

There was only one model on Martin Denny’s album covers: Sandy Warner, β€œthe exotica girl.” She could pull off a lot of looks.

"Insouciant Martian" is a good look

Heather:

As Austin said, I have actually been in the very apartment those videos are filmed in! At least in 2010, Martin is so cool and nice that, if you email that you're showing up in Wivenhoe, he'll be glad to hang out at The Greyhound, if I remember the pub name correctly, and maybe even invite you for afters at his place.

Took me a long time to "get" The Soft Boys. At first I was sort of puzzled. But I think, in one of the rare cases with me, it took a lot of repeated listening to become a big fan. (Usually I immediately obsess over something the first time I hear it and listen to it 100s of times in a row, torturing roommates and partners, as the @ramencitykid can attest to.

But with The Soft Boys, I listened to them once a year or so, for a number of years, and then really got into them much, much later. But it took a long while.
