Music behind DJ: Sounds Of The Ocean	Beach Sounds "Beach Sounds" by "Sounds Of The Ocean"	Ocean Sounds	Sounds Of The Ocean	2016
Soft Drinks	Pepsi Cola "Pepsi Cola" by "Soft Drinks"	Various - The Thing From The Crypt	Dark Entries	2013	Thank goodness for Dark Entries and their reissues. SOFT DRINKS were a short-lived synth-punk trio featuring the Jon Greville of Rudimentary Peni and Martin Drooper of The Magits who released a 3 song EP on Outer Himmylayan Productions. "The Thing From The Crypt," a 16-track compilation of UK DIY/Synth/New Wave/Post-Punk originally released in 1981. Showcasing the thriving post punk sound of Watford, a town in Hertfordshire, England, located 20 minutes northwest of central London. "'The Thing From The Crypt' neither attempts to sell a 'Wotford sound' nor claims to be a comprehensive guide to the area's best beat bands. Like all good compilations, its essence is variety: some tracks will make you come whilst other will make you vomit."		0:02:08 (Pop-up)
Visitors	Electric Heat "Electric Heat" by "Visitors"	Electric Heat 7"	Deep Cuts Records	1979	Visitors were a post punk band from Edinburgh, Scotland and formed in late 70s. Active from 1979-1981, the band consisted of brothers John and Derek McVay, pal Colin Craigie and rotating drummers Alan Laing and Keith Wilson. After impressing Peel with their debut single ‘Electric Heat’, he went on to financial back further recordings and gave them their own Peel Sessions, despite such a limited catalogue. After signing to 4AD, the Edinburgh group called it quits without getting to record their first full-length. Canadian label Telephone Explosion is releasing Poet’s End, a compilation of their three 7″s with four previously unreleased tracks. Their sound was classically angular with synths that were somehow both monotone and relentless.		0:04:31 (Pop-up)
Gambit of Shame	Dancing With The Turks	No Bounds - 1978 - 1982 Recordings	Dead Hedgehog Enterprises	2021	Hertfordshire's Gambit of Pain may have fallen through the cracks, and existed on the fringe of the scene, materializing from the fallout of other punk bands as a mutant form frm 1979 until their disbanding in 1984. They had numerous lineups over the years but hit their peak with the release of their only single "No Bounds" which was produced by ex-Soft Machine member and musical activist, Robert Wyatt.		0:08:18 (Pop-up)
X-Ray Pop	La Machine á Rêver "La Machine á Rêver" by "X-Ray Pop"	La Machine á Rêver - single	MB5	1984	X RAY POP are the synth-pop duo of Doc Pilot and Zouka Dzaza from Tours, France. They got their start in the no wave art group Bocal 5 in 1981 and split off in 1984 to focus on their own brand of quirky synthesized electronics. Influenced by Erik Satie, Brigitte Bardot, Suicide and Young Marble Giants, they call their music "minimum naive new wave." Armed with a Casio PT-20 keyboard and a rudimentary Yamaha MR10 drum machine they recorded their demo cassette and first 7" "Eurasienne"/ "La Machine à Rêver" in 1984. Their songs are short, concise and well structured; richly textured, moving at a quick speed with hardly a pause. The demos show a sense of humor, vitality and carefree playfulness. Zouka's pouting, tongue-in-cheek vocals (sung in French) come together for a catchy, sensuous, danceable, eccentric psychedelic ride. Reminiscent of the Mo-dettes, early OMD or Algebra Suicide, X RAY POP could be the missing link to Stereolab. The video for this tune is sublimely beachy!!!!		0:11:00 (Pop-up)
Inflatable Boy Clams	Marin "Marin" by "Inflatable Boy Clams"	Inflatable Boy Clams	Subterranean Records	1981	San Francisco provocateurs Inflatable Boy Clams recorded one of the greatest all-female art punk records ever made, a wrongfully obscure five-song double 7-inch EP which has garnered a cult following ever since its initial release on Subterranean Records in 1981. While the music blends simple instrumentation and captivating, quirky lyrics, the artwork looks like an early Rough Trade single, complete with posh Winogrand-esque photo of the group. More of a performance art troupe than a traditional rock band, the Boy Clams often rotated between instruments and shared vocal duties: JoJo Planteen, Judy Gittelsohn and Carol Detweiler (the latter two both members of Pink Section), along with saxophone player Genvieve Boutet de Monvel.		0:13:20 (Pop-up)
Plastiktanz	Mir Geht Es Danke Gut	Wir Sind Rein	Musik-Für-Festliche-Stunden	1981	Not much is known or documented about Plastiktanz. Only one single...this one...exists. No info otherwise on this German band. This song appears on "Sowas von egal" a collaboration between the Hamburg record label Bureau B and the Hamburg party series Damaged Goods where they present rare, obscure synth & wave discs from the early 1980s which absolutely deserve to heard. It was clear from the outset that “Sowas von egal 2” would need to scale similar heights of excellence as its predecessor, featuring carefully selected, sought-after, danceable tunes. In contrast to the first volume, most of the acts here were only active in the early 1980s and have not released any records since then. The tape artists were particularly invested in the DIY ethic – as is often apparent in their sound aesthetics and the unbridled energy which has lost none of its intensity today. Their art was seldom – if ever – tempered by commercial considerations or sales strategies.		0:15:50 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Hugh Le Caine	Dripsody "Dripsody" by "Hugh Le Caine"	Introduction To Canadian Music	Naxos	1997	Hugh Le Caine (May 27, 1914 – July 3, 1977) was a Canadian physicist, composer, and instrument builder. Though his composition output was small, Le Caine is remembered as one of the great pioneer composers of musique concrète, his best known work being Dripsody (1955), a piece of musique concrète based on the sound of a single drop of water that over the course of the piece is permuted and contorted into a variety of sounds. Le Caine used a metal wastebasket filled with two inches of water, held an eyedropper ten inches above the wastebasket, and tape-recorded the water drops for thirty minutes. After reviewing the resulting recording, Le Caine selected one of the water drops and spliced it onto a short tape loop. This allowed the water drop to repeat like a traditional ostinato figure.		0:17:43 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Anadol	Görünmez Hava "Görünmez Hava" by "Anadol"	Uzun Havalar	Pingipung	2019	Anadol (@altinkasetcilik) is a psychedelic synth folk project by Gözen Atila, a Turkish sound artist and photographer based in Berlin. Her Anadol project walks in the footsteps of lone synth experimentalists like Bruce Haack and The Space Lady with their childlike curiosity for electronic sounds, pushing the boundaries of minimal equipment. On Uzun Havalar she translates her experimental background into these floating folk ballads.		0:20:24 (Pop-up)
Spread Joy	Contrition "Contrition" by "Spread Joy"	II	Feel It	2022	Released May 13, this is one of the few songs not yet played from this album on WFMU. Available for "Name Your Price" on Bandcamp. "Spread Joy may as well be their own musical genre. An immediate flavor and mercurial 'Qu'est-ce que c'est?' begin their second album with the 45 second opener "Ow". Coincidentally, the album spins at 45, just like Spread Joy's self-titled 2021 debut. The Chicago group came out of nowhere, mid-pandemic, with a stunning ten track LP on Feel It. Returning to the warm analog environment at Jamdek Recording Co., Spread Joy have truly honed their craft across these 17 minutes and 17 seconds. This is the kind of punk-forward music that is made to be heard and felt, far from the distorted mirror of the web. A group living free, moving at their own speed, and making music that will be remembered - that's Spread Joy, folks!" Spread Joy (Bandcamp)		0:28:07 (Pop-up)
BZDET	Podróż "Podróż" by "BZDET"	KŁAMCA	Syf Records	2022	Released Aug 23, this can be yours on Bandcamp for any price you choose. "Podróż" translates to "Journey", which seems to be one of the loose themes of this week's show. BZDET are on Syf Records, Szczecin, Poland. Their band name translates to "Rubbish". New album KŁAMCA translates to "Liar". They have the following to say to explain their latest release "New shit from solo looser-wave-post-punk BZDET. 12 new songs about shitty prime minister, shitty people's attitiude and shitty viagra boys" BZDET - KŁAMCA (Bandcamp)	*	0:29:03 (Pop-up)
Crime Of Passing	Hunting Knife "Hunting Knife" by "Crime Of Passing"	Crime Of Passing	Future Shock Recordings	2022	Released Apr 22, this the only full length song from this album not yet played on WFMU. Available for "Name Your Price" on Bandcamp. "A stunning combination of style, vision, and execution. Crime of Passing, alongside related projects like The Serfs and The Drin, are at the helm of Cincinnati, Ohio's vibrant post-punk underground. Led by Andie Luman's fervent vocals, Crime of Passing's self-titled debut album is a wondrously textured web of sound. Shades of early 80's post-punk, synth-driven electro pop, and heavier Industrial/Krautrock tones combine across an album both instantly memorable and futuristic. Nine cold tracks for a new dark age." Crimes Of Passing (Bandcamp)		0:30:52 (Pop-up)
Rouge	Haunted By Visions "Haunted By Visions" by "Rouge"	Rouge	Phantom Records	2022	Released Apr 1 2022. They are from Berlin, Germany. Available for "Name Your Price" on Bandcamp. Most of the songs from this release have been played on WFMU, but not this one yet. Rouge are: Nadja, Laura, Zomber, Ollum / Recorded & mixed in 2021 by Laura and Zomber.

Gidnim'Rém	Tetszik tudni "Tetszik tudni" by "Gidnim'Rém"	Antipatika	Bandcamp	2022	Released Sep 5. Available for "Name Your Price" on Bandcamp Gidnim'Rém hail from Debrecen, Hungary. They jumped into the chatroom as we were broadcasting! They said the following about this song "The title actually means something like "Did you know" in a sort of condescending tone... ..."Tetszik tudni" is about being annoyed, the chorus goes "What's bothering you? Everything. Who's bothering you? Everyone". The second verse is basically a full on rant about pensioners. Just a song for blowing off some steam." and about the band: "I've been making music on my own since 2006 but the catalog only starts at 2014, I ditched the old stuff cause it's crap. Now we're doing stuff with a 4piece, not really touring sadly but we're definately trying to change that." Gidnim'Rém (Bandcamp)	*	0:36:14 (Pop-up)
H E A T	Open Portal "Open Portal" by "H E A T"	H E A T	Bandcamp	2022	Released this week on Sep 3. From San Francisco. Available for "Name Your Price" on Bandcamp. No info seems to exist for this band at this point, except for tags "rock garage heavy rock metal psychedelic witch San Francisco" This track is heavy, sludgy, drenched in reverb and maybe a little crunched. It has lovely singsong vocals buried amongst the garage-psych chug. Probably best not to confuse them with H.E.A.T. from Sweden. That is a different band. H E A T (Bandcamp)	*	0:39:01 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: The Federal Republic of Blap	Myrsky	Federal Miscellany Volume 2 (WIP)	Bandcamp	2022	Released Sep 4. Available for "Name Your Price" on Bandcamp. The album title includes "(WIP)", ie. Work In Progress. The artwork has a crudely drawn black-sharpie style text message "Placeholder Album Cover Art" against a white background. The Federal Republic of Blap is a great name. For all these reasons, this gets play. Artist statement: "I create chiptune and Intelligent Dance Music (IDM). My music is often experimental/avant-garde, so brace yourself.

TEKE::TEKE	Yoru Ni "Yoru Ni" by "TEKE::TEKE"	Shirushi	Kill Rock Stars	2021	TEKE::TEKE is a Montreal-based Japanese psych-rock group composed of guitarists Serge Nakauchi Pelletier & Hidetaka Yoneyama, bass player Mishka Stein, drummer Ian Lettre, flutist Yuki Isami, trombone player Etienne Lebel, and visual artist and vocalist Maya Kuroki. Featuring traditional Japanese instruments, flute and trombone alongside raging guitars and a pulsing rhythm section, TEKE::TEKE creates a sound reminiscent of 1960’s and 70’s era psychedelic Japanese soundtracks, with a frenetic, modern twist. On their debut album Shirushi, TEKE::TEKE blend classic Japanese balladry, surf rock, psychedelia, and more to produce a set of songs that play like soundtracks to a wildly eccentric epic film saga. We have played them before, and willl play them again! They take their name from the Japanese ghost story and Japanese urban legend about the ghost of a schoolgirl who is said to have fallen onto a railway line, where her body was cut in half by a train. She is an onryō, or a vengeful spirit, who lurks in urban areas and around train stations at night.		0:54:24 (Pop-up)
The Sueves	People They Come In Waves	R.I.P Clearance Event	Hozac Records	2018	Chicago’s punk underworld has reimagined itself several times over the past twenty years, from the cavorting slime punk damage of the early 2000s, through the fracturing of styles and directions a few years later, it’s all been simmering salaciously for generations now, and for the last few years, only a few really noteworthy band have grasped the raw agitation as well as The Sueves. Rearing their ugliness up through the tropes of plastic flowers and goofy sunglasses, these brave young ravagers are not content to sit idly by as the stench of indifference passes over the masses, always the “least chill” band at the rock’n roll party and that is really a good thing. You can’t just sit still when The Sueves are wielding their wares, both in person and on record, the aggression has to burst out somehow, and although it’s far, far easier to just appeal to the low-hanging fruit dangling at the bottom of the rock’n roll food chain, it’s far more respectable to be the ones who are bleeding and bruised, flipping over the tables & chairs with reckless abandon, every single time.		0:58:24 (Pop-up)
Night Beats	Egypt Berry "Egypt Berry" by "Night Beats"	Who Sold My Generation	Heavenly Recordings	2016	Rajan Billingsley moved to Seattle to study comparative religion at the University of Washington. Leaving Dallas, which he saw as "a wasteland of music", he founded Night Beats in 2009. Named after the Sam Cooke album 'Night Beat', the solo self-recorded Street (Atomic) EP was released that year via Holy Twist Records. After trying out a couple of different lineups, he asked high school friend and former B.B Mercy drummer James Traeger who was studying in Austin, Texas to move to Seattle to join Night Beats. After working together as a duo for a few months, they recruited bassist Tarek Wegner in January 2010 and played their first gig in March of that year at a house party in Seattle. Wegner, originally from Tacoma, Washington, had previously played with The Drug Purse and Paris Spleen. In ‘Who Sold My Generation’, Night Beats have concocted a broiling album which by any rights ought to blast them out of the basement of cultdom. The accompanying live shows are guaranteed to inspire levitation of one form or another. Get up on their cloud and you might just glimpse clear light.		1:00:56 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Holy Tongue	Misinai "Misinai" by "Holy Tongue"	Holy Tongue	Amidah Records	2020	Holy Tongue is a collaboration between percussionist Valentina Magaletti, best known for her work with Vanishing Twin, Tomaga, UUUU, Raime, Nicolas Jaar and Jandek among many others, and producer Al Wootton (TRULE Records, FKA Deadboy). This first EP is a product of an improvised session in East London. Heavily influenced by dub reggae, the two bring a mutual appreciation for the experimental dub of On-U-Sound, Muslimgauze, and post-punk bands such as Liquid Liquid and 23 Skidoo to the forefront of the sound. The result is an EP of psychedelic, free-form, high energy, spiritual dub-dance music.		1:06:19 (Pop-up)
Deerhoof	My Lovely Cat! "My Lovely Cat!" by "Deerhoof"	My Lovely Cat! (Digital Single)	Joyful Noise	2022	Thought about Deerhoof on Tuesday, they released a new single on Wednesday (Sep 7) & now we play it on Thursday. Life is weird sometimes. Speaking of that... "In 2019, the internet-famous cat Lil Bub died at the age of eight, and the world mourned. Today, the oblique indie rock veterans Deerhoof have dedicated their new single “My Lovely Cat” to Lil Bub, even though they weren’t specifically thinking about Bub when they wrote the song. Deerhoof recorded “My Lovely Cat” with Bub’s owner Mike Bridavsky at Winnipeg, Canada’s No Fun Club. The new track comes less than a year after Deerhoof’s album Actually, You Can, and it’s a little more straightforward than a lot of Deerhoof songs. Deerhoof leader Satomi Matsuzaki wrote and sang the lyrics to the new song “My Lovely Cat” in Japanese, and she also designed the cover art. The song is as skittery and off-kilter as you might expect from this band, but it’s also got a gentle, bittersweet hook and a giddy and unpredictable sort of energy — a bit like a cat, you could say. In a press release, Deerhoof have this to say: "If you were going to compose a song about a cute cat from the internet, then get it recorded and mixed and mastered by an outside producer known not only for their recording and mixing and mastering, but for their cute cat from the internet, well, you would be shrewd indeed. But this of course we did not do, because we didn’t know about Mike Bridavsky or Lil Bub when we wrote the song! Well, we think about him now: a true collaborator and artist and friend."" Speaking of Winnipeg's No Fun Club recording studio... "Built over the course of five years, Winnipeg’s No Fun Club studios brings together new and vintage technologies inside an opulent facility built out of 300-year-old reclaimed barn wood."

Pixies	Dregs Of The WIne "Dregs Of The WIne" by "Pixies"	Doggerel	Pixies Recording Inc / BMG	2022	Released Sep 6, in advance of the new album out at the end of the month. "‘Dregs Of The Wine’ marks Pixies guitarist Joey Santiago’s first writing credit, with frontman Black Francis providing the lyrics which, he says, are about “living in Los Angeles in the ’90s with my then-wife, hanging out with Joey and his ex-wife, lots of trips to Las Vegas, a lot of drinking, little bit drug taking, some genuine good times.” Speaking about the origin of the song, Santiago added: “I guess I was in kind of a zombie state, just playing. After I stopped playing I put it down and went, ‘Well, that was a fucking waste of time, what a piece of shit I am’. “I beat myself up a lot, but my girlfriend, unbeknownst to me, was recording me. She played it back to me and I go, ‘Fuck! Hold on a second here! This stuff is good!’”"	*	1:22:07 (Pop-up)
Björk, feat. Kasimyn	Atopos "Atopos" by "Björk, feat. Kasimyn"	Fossora	One Little Indian	2022	Released Sep 6, in advance of her upcoming 10th album Fossora, which is the feminine version of the Latin word for "digger." She is also launching a podcast series exploring her discography. "After having just announced her tenth studio album, Fossora, Björk is back with the first taste off her forthcoming record, "atopos," and it's safe to say its unlike anything we've heard from Björk before. / "Describing the album opener as being “kinda like Fossora’s passport,” the track makes good on her promise to deliver a darker, bass-heavy sound with a morose clarinet sextet and a sharp, throbbing beat courtesy of Gabber Modus Operandi's DJ Kasimyn. Directed by Viðar Logi, the single arrives alongside a fungi-filled visual that sees Björk and her compatriots partake in a subterranean rave. Drawing inspiration from feelings of isolation during the pandemic and the gabber-filled raves she would throw in her living room, "atopos" dwells on the notion of connection and ways to foster and embrace that which binds us together. “The lyrics are inspired by what Roland Barthes described as the unclassifiable OTHER," the singer said in a tweet. She goes on to quote the song's lyrics: "Our differences are irrelevant our union is stronger than us.”"	*	1:25:39 (Pop-up)
Lucrecia Dalt	Dicen "Dicen" by "Lucrecia Dalt"	¡Ay!	RVNG Intl.	2022	This track released Aug 23. "Lucrecia Dalt (born 1980) is a Colombian experimental musician who currently resides in Berlin. While her earlier releases were rooted in electronic dance music her work has evolved over time to become more overtly abstract and experimental." On her upcoming album ¡Ay!, Dalt continues to explore conceptual narratives while pushing her sound design to new heights. ¡Ay! tells the story of an eccentric alien entity named Preta who has just landed on Earth, and on the album’s latest offering, “Dicen,” Dalt acts as a distant third-person omniscient narrator, detailing the gossip surrounding Preta’s arrival. “They say … she walks in a borrowed skin,” Dalt sings.	*	1:30:23 (Pop-up)
Mauskovic Dance Band	Bukaroo Bank	Bukaroo Bank	Bongo Joe	2022	This track out this week, full album out Oct 28, 2022. The band is from Amsterdam, Netherlands. "Recorded in 2020, during one of the Netherlands’ intermittent lockdown bouts, for this one the MDB wanted to step up from their previous homebase, Garage Noord – an ad hoc Amsterdam space for recording, practise and after-hours parties. They chose Electric Monkey, operated by engineer Kasper Frenkel. His stacks of what Nicola calls “very strange equipment”, and ability to sprinkle magic dub dust over everything, suited the vibe perfectly. The results glow and shiver with assembled synth sounds, rhythms spliced and echoed in a way that hails late Jamaican dub great Lee Perry – maybe the band’s biggest influence. Some sections might remind you of Afro-disco or slightly older highlife, others industrial prototypes like early Cabaret Voltaire, or 1980s On-U Sound mainstays like African Head Charge, or NYC groovers such as Liquid Liquid... there are outbreaks of saxophone, congas, echo units, wah-wah disco guitars, beats that sound programmed but aren’t (a nod to MDB’s industrial side). If that sounds fun to you, be assured that Bukaroo Bank is an irrepressibly fun album – but one that contains multitudes.

Romperayo	El Borracho "El Borracho" by "Romperayo"	Así No Se Puede Muchaches	Souk Records	2022	Romperayo are from Bogotá, Colombia, this album came out July 2022, and they already have new songs up on Bandcamp in the last few days. "El Borracho" translates to "The Drunkard", by the way. "Romperayo is a musical journey through Colombian tropical folklore of the second half of the 20th century, a mischievous and modern interpretation of the up-tempo rhythms of “Descarga” and the psychedelic sounds of ’70s cumbia. Romperayo is distinguished by the prominence of the rhythm section, probably because the band was formed by the “capitán” of the new generation of Colombian percussionists: drummer Pedro Ojeda, who also plays in Los Pirañas, Palanca, CieloMama, Frente Cumbiero, Ondatrópica and Mucho Indio. Eblis Alvarez (from the world-renowned Meridian Brothers and Los Pirañas)tweaks samplers and electronics, organ and piano virtuoso Ricardo Gallo plays the synths, and well-known double-bassist and composer Juan Manuel Toro is on the electric bass. By cleverly incorporating urban sounds and sampling techniques into the tropical music of the past decades, Romperayo embodies Colombia’s modern folklore scene."

Music behind DJ: NEU!	Im Glück (The National Remix)	NEU! – 50! Boxset / NEU! / Tribute Album	Groenland Records	2022	"The National have shared a remix of Neu!’s song “Im Glück.” The legendary Krautrock duo of Michael Rother and the late Klaus Dinger originally released the track on their 1972 self-titled LP. “Im Glück (The National Remix)” will appear on a tribute album featured in the forthcoming Neu! 50! box set—out September 23 via Grönland. Neu! 50! will include the band’s first three studio LPs—Neu!, Neu! 2!, and Neu! 75—as well as Neu! ’86 in the CD box. The tribute album will feature reworks from Mogwai, Idles, Hot Chip’s Alexis Taylor, Yann Tiersen, Guerilla Toss, and more. Back in June, Stephen Morris and Gabe Gurnsey shared a remix of the duo’s song “Hallogallo.” That same month, Neu! also reissued their debut album on cassette and picture disc."	*	1:40:54 (Pop-up)
Krisma	C-Rock "C-Rock" by "Krisma"	Chinese Restaurant	Universal Italia	1977	In 1976, Maurizio Arcieri and his wife Christina Moser formed the duo under the name "Chrisma" in Milan. The name was a combination of their initials. The very same year, the couple moved to London to record "U" and "Amore" with the producer Nico Papathanassiou and his brother Vangelis. Chinese Restaurant is a fascinating record, with a number of musical references from rock to minimal synth but this tune shines in its absolutely perfect nod to Krautrock and all things Motorik.		1:56:07 (Pop-up)
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard	Hyan-Tyumi, The Confused Cyborg	Hyan-Tyumi, The Confused Cyborg	Heavenly	2017	KGATLZ can do just about anything, it seems but this little Krautrock-esque gem telling the tale of a cyborg struggling with the desire to feel human emotion once again...tells a lot in just under over 2 minutes. In between all of the noise and clutter from a band that releases songs every 10 minutes, it's nice to find this diamond among billions of grains of sand on the beach...		2:01:37 (Pop-up)
Fujiya & Miyagi	Knickerbocker "Knickerbocker" by "Fujiya & Miyagi"	Lightbulbs	Fujiya & Miyagi	2008	Fujiya & Miyagi is a British group formed in Brighton, East Sussex, England, in 2000. The current line-up consists of David Best (vocals and guitar), Stephen Lewis (synths and vocals), Ed Chivers (drums), Ben Adamo and Ben Farestuedt (bass and vocals). They have released eight studio albums, Lightbulbs is their third. They're not really a krautrock band either, they just play danceable pop music with one hell of a deadpan expression. Lena Zavaroni, who is mentioned as the ghost in the lyrics was a Scottish child star of the 70s and 80's, a little girl with an incredible voice, somewhat similar to Amy Winehouse. She struggled with the pressures of fame, which caused her to develop Anorexia. She died tragically from the disease at the age of 35 .		2:03:59 (Pop-up)
Snapped Ankles	Jonny Guitar Calling Gosta Berlin	Come Play The Trees	The Leaf Label	2017	One of the first tunes I'd ever heard by my beloved Snapped Ankles and I was smitten right away. The Quietus described the album as "propulsive and angular", praised it as "the embodiment of the weird, wonderful and true ecology of it all, presented by a bunch of folks dressed like ditches" and compared the band to "a pagan Can or a forested Fall". The band cites the diverse influences of Morris dancing, Old Norse texts, Jean-Luc Godard, Lightning Bolt, Fela Kuti and London warehouse parties.		2:07:22 (Pop-up)
Camera	Synchron "Synchron" by "Camera"	Remember I Was Carbon Dioxide	Camera	2014	Camera were founded in Berlin in 2012. CAMERA are a young Berlin-based street band, a trio notorious for guerilla-style impromptu concerts in public spaces in Berlin. CAMERA's debut album ''Radiate!'' was released in summer 2012, and the band fascinates audiences everywhere with their spontaneous music. The band consists of Michael DRUMMER (drums), Franz BARGMANN (guitar) and Timm BROCKMANN (keyboards). They have been attached with a ''Krautrock Guerilla'' epithet for their modern type of Krautrock the play, which, as reported, blends elements of NEU!, KRAFTWERK and Can and often improvise their compositions. They say of themselves "we came in peace and left quickly for everyones own suck-sess"		2:11:29 (Pop-up)

	7:59pm laurapanic: Loving the byline for this week.....
	8:00pm laurapanic: runs to get scarf for the drive in the cool 80s convertible PUT DOWN THE TOP, PEOPLE!
	🏝 8:00pm Scott67: G'day Babs, Derek & Beached.🏖️ Sharing love on this momentous & sad day for our Commonwealth. I'm a Republican Punk, but she was an amazing Woman. My Smiths CD is sitting in the rack, mocking my sadness. 🍻😎🤙💨🍺🍺❤️❤️
	8:01pm ultradamno: Babs! Derek! Beach Bums! The MES political platform twitter.com...
	🏝 8:02pm Kat in Chicago: Which way to the Beach?
	8:03pm Mr Fab: a beach party that's also a road trip? sounds like a surfin safari. Count me in.
	8:04pm Derek Westerholm: Hello Laura, Scott, Ultra, Kat, Fab, hello hello hello!
	8:04pm DJ Babs: Hello hello everyone!!! Scott, Ultra, Fab, Laura...Kat! Great to see you!!!
	8:04pm ultradamno: Dunce buggies will get that done
	8:05pm Derek Westerholm: Yes, rest in peace to her majesty, Scott.
	8:05pm laurapanic: I love that there is the implication of the thriving post punk sound in Watford
	8:05pm squidbeak: Well said Scott Cheers everyone
	8:06pm Mr Fab: Canadians gotta change their money now?
	8:06pm Derek Westerholm: Ultra, haha, I remember when that interview came out. Hilarious!
	8:06pm Alli B: Hi!
	🏝 8:06pm Scott67: Cheers Squid! 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	8:07pm DJ Babs: Hello Hello Alli!
	🏝 8:07pm Scott67: & Australians Fab!
	8:07pm DJ Babs: Hello Squidbeak!
	8:08pm DJ Babs: Possibly we may, but we got lots of other peeps on our money besides her...I am sad. I loved the queen. Hated what the monarchy stood for but she was by all accounts an exceptional lady.
	🏝 8:09pm Kat in Chicago: Canadian money is much cooler than US money
	8:09pm DJ Babs: I'm not playing the queen is dead because I don't want morrissey to make any more money on this. Johnny Marr is a great fella tho!
	8:10pm Derek Westerholm: Hello Squidbeak! Nice to see a Squid on the beach!
	8:10pm squidbeak: Cheers Babs, its weird in London at the mo
	8:11pm Derek Westerholm: Hello Alli!
	8:11pm squidbeak: Cheers Derek!
	8:11pm DJ Babs: no doubt Squidbeak. have been reaching out to my UK pals and...it must be very odd indeed.
	🏝 8:13pm Kat in Chicago: I can't even imagine what it would be like to be there right now
	🏝 8:13pm Kat in Chicago: This X Ray Pop is cute
	8:14pm DJ Babs: I imagine it's kinda like losing your Gran. We in Canada are probably one of the strongest members of the Commonwealth along with Aus...so we hold tight to that. There's a pretty big Mod scene here still in the bigger cities...especially Toronto...lots of Anglophiles here....
	8:14pm DJ Babs: Yes Kat! I again am always so chuffed to find new/old artists I don't know about every single week!
	8:14pm ultradamno: ARB played a little X Ray Pop in her recent Blumin fill-in
	8:15pm DJ Babs: lol enjoy this next tune it makes me laugh ALL the time...
	8:16pm DJ Babs: @ultradamno nice!
	🏝 8:16pm Scott67: Babs, Liz was like my Gran, even looked like my Gran, who died over 30 years ago on this day.
	8:17pm ultradamno: Pink Section's Cars Don't Wait For Love does that to me, the way she says "silly pedestrians" and when she gets all worked up. Great band
	8:17pm DJ Babs: awww Scott, that is so sad and yet also so lovely...
	8:17pm DJ Babs: Yes, we've played Pink Section not too long ago and made that connection so great to get to the Clams on the show now!
	🏝 8:18pm Scott67: My Mum will be hit hard.
	8:18pm DJ Babs: oh for sure. I think for a certain generation, it means quite a bit....
	8:19pm Derek Westerholm: Scott, condolences on this 30th year anniversary of your Gran's passing.
	8:22pm laurapanic: Babs, do you get most of these tracks from the library at WFMU or from your own collection, or online? Amazing curation of new things to introduce us to.
	8:22pm ultradamno: There was a dude in Pink Section, wasn't there? The one who went on to SRL
	8:23pm ultradamno: Matt Heckert, is who I was thinking of...also Stephen Wymore
	8:24pm squidbeak: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/mar/16/what-happens-when-queen-elizabeth-dies-london-bridge
	8:26pm Mr Fab: Inflatable Boy Clams! "Skeletons" was quite the Rodney Bingenheimer/college radio fave back in the day. At least in LA. Such a cool band.
	🏝 8:29pm Kat in Chicago: waves
	8:30pm DJ Babs: lol i can't talk tonight. I started off the show with a stiff gin and tonic to toast the queen, lol.
	8:31pm Derek Westerholm: The CN tower here in Toronto is not going to be lit up, to mark the passing of the Queen.
	🏝 8:32pm Scott67: I just opened a beer & did same Bab's! 🍻😎🤙🍸👑
	8:32pm ultradamno: BZDET also has this page bzdet.bandcamp.com
	8:32pm Alli B: The double rainbow over Buckingham Palace was really something
	8:32pm DJ Babs: Yeah, RIGHT!? That was quite awesome!
	🏝 8:32pm Kat in Chicago: The what???
	8:33pm ultradamno: Long live King Chas
	🏝 8:33pm Kat in Chicago: I suppose I'll see a bunch of pictures of it later
	8:33pm ultradamno: ...or maybe King Chucky, 'cause he's a good guy
	8:34pm DJ Babs: The CN tower. That's our big landmark here in toronto...kinda like your Willis Tower in Chi-Town
	8:34pm Alli B: It was definitely awesome in its correct usage
	8:34pm DJ Babs: www.cntower.ca
	8:34pm Alli B: What colour are they lighting the CN tower?
	8:35pm Derek Westerholm: Or did Kat mean "The what???" to the Double Rainbow?
	8:35pm DJ Babs: I think they are not lighting it...which is interesting, I thought they'd do it in red white and blue but dark....well that's even more of a statement for sure.
	8:35pm Derek Westerholm: Ali, no colour, unlit. No light!
	8:35pm Alli B: Sorry I misread
	8:35pm DJ Babs: I hope a goddamn plane doesn't fly into it!
	🏝 8:36pm Kat in Chicago: I meant it to the double rainbow yes
	8:36pm DJ Babs: I've moved on to a very chewy bottle of Spanish Temperanillo now. It's VERYY good!
	8:37pm Derek Westerholm: Kat, I figured, haha.
	🏝 8:37pm Kat in Chicago: I might crack a beer myself
	8:38pm DJ Babs: hey,it's ALMOST Friday! Also...I like this song Derek!
	8:39pm DJ Babs: lol also can anyone pick out the mistake I made in this week's art collage?
	8:39pm Mr Fab: the hitchhiker has his arms on backwards!
	🏝 8:40pm Kat in Chicago: Haha yes the hand
	8:40pm Gidnim'Rém: The title actually means something like "Did you know" in a sort of condescending tone
	8:42pm Derek Westerholm: Alli, no apologies please! Wasn't meaning to be snippy, just wanted to elaborate!
	8:42pm Derek Westerholm: Gidnim'Rém, hello!!!
	8:42pm DJ Babs: WELCOME GIDINIM REM!!! We LOVE your song!!!
	8:43pm Derek Westerholm: Tell us more about the song! What a surprise to have you here!
	8:43pm Alli B: Our messages crossed over as I realized I missed it :)
	8:43pm DJ Babs: lol and yes Mr. Fab and Kat you absolutely got it!
	8:43pm Derek Westerholm: :)
	🏝 8:43pm Scott67: So black light then Derek? 🍻😉🤙
	8:43pm Derek Westerholm: Scott, haha, yeah, probably! Stealth mode.
	8:43pm DJ Babs: I love the serendipity of when a band we're playing joins in on the chat! @GIDNIM REM please let us know about your amazing band!
	8:43pm Gidnim'Rém: Awesome set by the way, already put a few of 'em in the collection
	8:44pm Derek Westerholm: Fantastic, lovely to have you here with us! Tell us a story about the band!
	8:44pm DJ Babs: Thank you so much! We pride ourselves on playing only the cool shit, lol. ;-)
	🏝 8:45pm Scott67: 2 right hands, he can only hitch one way!
	8:47pm DJ Babs: haha I myself didn't notice until it was too late and was like "meh...makes it better" lol
	8:48pm Mr Fab: "Intelligent Dance Music" is a genre name I want to punch in the face.
	8:49pm Gidnim'Rém: Oh "Tetszik tudni" is about being annoyed, the chorus goes "What's bothering you? Everything. Who's bothering you? Everyone". The second verse is basically a full on rant about pensioners. Just a song for blowing off some steam. You pronounced the title perfectly :D
	8:51pm Alli B: 😂😂😂
	8:52pm ultradamno: What you see every time you go to Cinti twitter.com...
	8:52pm ultradamno: EVERY TIME!
	🏝 8:53pm Scott67: Just got a message from a mate visiting Canada. He said to tell ya you've got great Sandwiches! 🍻😎🤙🥪🌯🥙
	8:54pm DJ Babs: WE DO!
	🏝 8:56pm Scott67: I like sandwiches! Send us a sanga willya mate! 🍻😎🤙🥪
	8:58pm Derek Westerholm: Gidnim'Rém: thanks for that! We mentioned your comment as we backannounced... Advantages of a live show!
	8:58pm DJ Babs: My mom made the best sandwiches when I was a kid and now I'm all about the sandwiches...
	8:58pm Alli B: Sandwiches rule
	8:58pm Derek Westerholm: Gidnim'Rém, how long have you been making music? Are you touring?
	🏝 8:58pm Kat in Chicago: I was just in Montreal and had a spectacular bagel with salmon, capers and cream cheese at St-Viateur Cafe -Mont-Royal, does that count as a sandwich
	8:58pm DJ Babs: We livein a part of Toronto that is "Little Poland" and there's a deli there that is fucking legendary. I get my cold cuts there every week. Plus their pickles are fucking godlike!
	8:59pm DJ Babs: oh yeah! Every time I'm in Montreal I gotta go to Kaplansky's for a proper sandwich!
	8:59pm Derek Westerholm: It is true I have had some excellent sandwiches throughout my life thus far in Canada. Montreal has some excellent sandwich spots. I would count a bagel as a sandwich, just because I like to count bagels into most of my life.
	9:00pm Alli B: I miss Sherm’s
	9:01pm DJ Babs: Oh Sherms...they were freakin' great! I could eat mountains of smoked meat...wrong as it is. Kat....next time you're in montreal you must have Sugar Pie!!!
	🏝 9:01pm Kat in Chicago: Sugar Pie? Do tell.
	9:02pm DJ Babs: Brit..who is a fixture in the chat...but not with us tonight..her husband has a bagel company and their bagels are AMAZING.
	9:02pm Derek Westerholm: Café Santropol is the place to get sandwiches in Montréal. I have had so many spectacular sandwiches there. www.santropol.com...
	9:02pm Alli B: So decadent ❤️
	9:02pm DJ Babs: www.ourhappymess.com...
	🏝 9:02pm Kat in Chicago: I gotta start taking notes for next year!
	9:02pm DJ Babs: It's like a creamier version of a butter tart in a pie. FUCK it is so good!
	9:03pm ultradamno: The other icon of Cinti twitter.com...
	9:03pm Alli B: Sucre à la crème DROOOL
	9:03pm laurapanic: this chat is making me hungry
	9:04pm Gidnim'Rém: Thanks so much, awesome! I've been making music on my own since 2006 but the catalog only starts at 2014, I ditched the old stuff cause it's crap. Now we're doing stuff with a 4piece, not really touring sadly but we're definately trying to change that.
	9:06pm MHLee: HI FRIENDS
	🏝 9:06pm Kat in Chicago: Oh dear lord, sugar pie.
	9:06pm MHLee: i like the colors of this show
	9:07pm DJ Babs: hello MHLee!! I'm afraid we just had a bit of a Tempranillo incident here...lol. I just bitched a whole glass behind a speaker LOL
	🏝 9:07pm Scott67: I have leftover Pizza Puttanesca! 🍻😎🤙🍕
	9:09pm MHLee: Otis spilled water on the mic during a slow transit episode
	9:09pm MHLee: I see TEKE:TEKE, that's on my university station's rotation
	9:10pm Bri: Scotty! I was going to send a text to my friend today with a picture of my “Queen is dead” Cd, my friend’s a huge Smith’s fan
	9:12pm DJ Nico: I'm in!
	🏝 9:12pm Scott67: Bri, I took my CD outa the rack & was gunna do the same in a FB Post. But then thought, too soon. So rang Mum instead, cos knew she'd be sad. 🍻😎🤙💨🌻
	9:14pm Mr Fab: Only use anything Morrisey-related for target practice, and play The Ukrainians' version of "The Queen is Dead"! (Which, yeah I know, still has that Moz writing credit..)
	9:14pm ultradamno: Is Meep just sitting by and letting this unchecked arachnid aggression stand?
	9:17pm ultradamno: Japan wants you to drink more
	9:17pm Alli B: Yo! The other week Nora (dog) was drooling like crazy, and looking at something on the floor. I get up to look, very pensively, and it’sa fucking scarab beetle!
	🏝 9:17pm Kat in Chicago: I read that about Japan
	9:18pm DJ Babs: lol omg, that was hiliarious
	9:20pm Alli B: It was HUGE! James chipped it out the front door with his golf club and then hit it into the road
	🏝 9:20pm Kat in Chicago: aw I miss Lil Bub
	9:20pm DJ Babs: awww lil bub! He was a great cat!
	🏝 9:20pm Kat in Chicago: Scarab golfing, that's a new one
	9:20pm Gidnim'Rém: It's always possible to name your spiders and assign them various insect catching duties as rent.
	🏝 9:20pm Scott67: I actually had a Smiths; The Queen Is Dead T-shirt in the 80's. Sadly long departed now.👕
	9:21pm ultradamno: It's all about crickets here. The've been getting into the ducts and singing away
	9:21pm DJ Babs: Yeah, if only you'd seen the comedy of errors that just happened here....
	9:21pm Mr Fab: add a camera! Uncle Michael over on the Drummer stream does his show on camera.
	9:22pm Derek Westerholm: Hi MHLee, Bri, Nico, hello!
	9:22pm DJ Babs: Hello Bri and Nico and MHLee! Fabulous to see you here!!!
	9:22pm MHLee: Hi Derek!
	9:23pm DJ Babs: I would love to do our show on camera one of these days...then you can all see the cuteness that is MeepMoop in action!
	9:23pm Derek Westerholm: Gidnim'Rém, I've been trying to get the cat to work for his rent for years now. He just stares at me, defiantly. So it works with the spiders, though? I'll keep this in mind...
	9:24pm MHLee: Speaking of Van Halen, I actually have a Van Halen track it my show for tomorrow
	9:24pm Derek Westerholm: Duct crickets!
	9:25pm DJ Babs: @Gidnim Rem we tend to name all of our spiders "Peter" after my dead dad, lol. I have no idea why.
	9:26pm Derek Westerholm: Ultra: "Japan wants you to drink more" hahahahaha lol
	9:26pm Gidnim'Rém: Arachnids seem like a more german-work ethic type as opposed to the feline creatures.
	9:26pm Alli B: Duct Crickets could be a good bluegrass band name
	9:26pm DJ Babs: It's true they do! Mike Rodgers mentioned that on his show the other day!
	9:26pm ultradamno: Usually, they don't start in until about now, but they've been around for months now...I don't what kind of climate change fuckery that is...
	9:27pm Derek Westerholm: Looping back to pre-wine spilling chat items... Mr. Fab, ""Intelligent Dance Music" is a genre name I want to punch in the face.", hahaha.
	9:27pm DJ Babs: Crickets! We were discussing crickets the other night again. How you can tell how the temperature changes by the frequency of their chirping....
	9:27pm Gidnim'Rém: We call them Joseph, it's a family tradition. Weird and sort of comforting that other people do this as well
	9:27pm ultradamno: Bjork!
	9:27pm DJ Babs: Agreed "IDM' as a concept suuuuuuuucks...lol
	9:28pm DJ Babs: Yes Gidnim Rem! I love that! And yes...the new Bjork is pretty fab. I love her new Fungi/Moss theme she's got going on this new record.
	9:30pm ultradamno: It dovetailed with me reading a bunch about zombie fungi, that keeps dead cicadas and ants and flys moving, and also some pretty crazy pics of, in fact, spiders with fungal infections
	9:31pm Alli B: Uhhh
	9:31pm Derek Westerholm: The video for this is pretty wild.
	9:32pm MHLee: The zombie fungus is quite wild
	9:32pm Cp304: Bjork!
	9:32pm ultradamno: They don't go and cannibalize other insects but the fungus drives them to get near them, resulting in spreading the infection and killing them. So effectively a real zombie situation.
	9:32pm Derek Westerholm: As one would expect a Björk video to be
	9:32pm Cp304: Ditto ultra
	9:33pm Derek Westerholm: I really need to delve further into the world of fungus and fungi
	9:34pm MHLee: I'm not a fungal world person. It's too crazy for me. That's why I do blood-feeding flies.
	9:34pm Gidnim'Rém: Is that zombie fungus the stuff that inspired the Last of Us series?
	9:35pm DJ Babs: I think we're going to go a bit late tonight if that's ok with you guys!
	9:35pm ultradamno: There was a pretty interesting segment on Mission Unstoppable about mushrooms creating an underground network that trees can use to warn other trees of disease and such
	🏝 9:35pm Kat in Chicago: I'm here for it, Babs
	9:35pm Alli B: Yusssss!!
	9:35pm DJ Babs: Possibly!? I am 100% down with zombie fungus. Also if I had a metal band i'd probably call it that.
	9:36pm DJ Babs: Fuck it, let's go late then!
	9:36pm ultradamno: The Happening would have been better if it had been inspired by it, I know that.
	9:36pm DJ Babs: I've started caring less about my actual day job and it's quite liberating!
	9:37pm MHLee: I've also figured that if zombies break out reality is very tedious... therefore I will summon Yog-Sothoth
	9:39pm Alli B: I’m super stoned And outside; this song is insane rn 💚
	9:39pm DJ Babs: this tune is a grooooooooooove
	9:39pm ultradamno: My biggest fear about a zombie apocalypse is I'll have to hear an argument between someone who won't stop videotaping everything and the guy it annoys. I'll feed myself to the herd if that happens.
	9:40pm DJ Babs: right on Alli, here's hoping this and the next set will take you to the next level of consciousness!!
	🏝 9:40pm Scott67: Goooo Lonngggg!!!🍻😎🤙💨🍺🍺
	9:40pm Alli B: The moon is also absolutely gorgeous tonight
	9:41pm Derek Westerholm: Alli, nice!
	9:41pm DJ Babs: sweeeeeeet...we're gonna have to snap some pics of that!
	9:42pm Alli B: I think the harvest moon is tomorrow or Saturday. Always a beauty.
	9:42pm DJ Babs: sweet! We're gonna try and hit the beach (finally!) in Long Point so hopefully we can see it in its full glory!
	9:43pm MHLee: I figure if you can survive a few days of the zombie apocalypse, the flies will reduce the zombies to squishy maggots
	9:44pm Alli B: Ohhh I hope that pans out, Babs! That would be glorious!
	9:45pm ultradamno: I heard someone on TV say MAGA americans, is that not close to ATM machines? I shouldn't talk, though, I did post something about the 'AMC channel' about a week ago
	9:47pm Mr Fab: or PIN and VIN numbers
	9:48pm Alli B: eye twitch
	9:48pm DJ Babs: Haha...that's so weird that MAGA americans is a thing...isn't that an oxymoron????
	9:49pm ultradamno: There's a pretty good video of Iggy playing Hero with Michael Rother on guitar on You Tube from the spring
	🏝 9:50pm Kat in Chicago: I wonder if the local record store that I have a $300 credit sitting at is getting that NEU! 50
	9:50pm DJ Babs: Goddamn we just need to collectively keep Iggy alive and in good health for the next several years. I can't deal with losing him right now...
	9:50pm DJ Babs: Yes Kat! You should!!!
	9:51pm DJ Babs: Credit is not money spent! lol
	🏝 9:51pm Kat in Chicago: It's been sitting there a while too
	9:58pm ultradamno: Speaking of Winnipeg, new Guy Maddin coming deadline.com...
	9:59pm DJ Babs: awww yeah.... lol
	🏝 9:59pm Kat in Chicago: this is good
	10:00pm DJ Babs: it sure is! I've been dying to play it for weeeeeeeeks....this album is a GEM
	10:00pm coelacanth∅: good evening Babs & Derek and all
	10:01pm Alli B: Honestly this is just perfect
	10:01pm DJ Babs: hello hello coelacanth! You're just in time for some krautrock!!!
	10:03pm Derek Westerholm: Ultra, I'll have to track down that Michael Rother / Iggy collab... Hero is one of my fav tunes by Neu... Definitely see how it informed punk rock. Love how they can be so pastoral at some times, and others so spiky & obstinate.
	10:03pm DJ Nico: Thanks for the chunes!
	10:03pm MHLee: King Gizzard is so big in the college scene
	10:04pm Derek Westerholm: Hello coelacanth∅! Welcome welcome! We're going just a little over tonight, so some extra songs for you all!
	10:04pm MHLee: Was 2017 the year they released the album into the public domain?
	10:04pm DJ Babs: Yes, I admit I have lost interest because their output is a bit overwhelming...but I do love this track for sure!
	10:04pm Derek Westerholm: Nico, thanks for listening & being here, hope all is swell in your world!
	10:04pm DJ Babs: Alli I am so glad you are enjoying the tunes!!!!
	10:06pm DJ Babs: this tune....<chef's kiss>
	10:06pm MHLee: To be honest, Babs, I only have/will listen to half of it.
	🏝 10:06pm Scott67: Long live David Attenborough too Babs!
	🏝 10:06pm Kat in Chicago: I was wondering if Fujiya & Miyagi was going to turn up in this set. i saw them live about 10 years ago, maybe twice
	🏝 10:07pm Kat in Chicago: more than 10 years ago, and it was twice. I remember the second time was Lightbulbs tour
	10:08pm MHLee: Frank Drake, the man that encouraged SETI with his equation for extraterrestrial life passed away today
	10:09pm coelacanth∅: KVAUTVOK! VE HAV KVAUTVOK! vedigut
	10:09pm laurapanic: are we on a 3hr show today?
	🏝 10:10pm Scott67: 3 hours!! Lets do it!!!🍻😎🤙
	10:11pm Derek Westerholm: Haha, no plans for a 3 hour show, just spilling over a bit.
	10:11pm coelacanth∅: Cheers Scott!
	10:12pm DJ Babs: lol we are going long and flying a bit by the seats of our pants here!!!
	10:13pm coelacanth∅: i so wish this show wasn't when it is. big conflict! but then,it's getting so crowded that it's more often than not a conflict - at least in the evenings
	🏝 10:13pm Scott67: Cheers coel! 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	10:14pm DJ Babs: lol we are happy to have you here when you can Coelacanth!!!
	🏝 10:14pm Scott67: I like your pants seal Babs!🍻😎🤙💨🍺 Not in a weird way.... well...?
	10:16pm DJ Babs: hahahah! Not weird at ALL!!!
	🏝 10:16pm Scott67: seat*
	🏝 10:21pm Kat in Chicago: Lena Zavaroni turns up on a fair amount of WFMU playlist, even on Station Manager Ken's now and then. Very sad story.
	10:24pm Alli B: Thank you! It’s been great!
	10:24pm coelacanth∅: oh crap, i thought you were 9 to 11! thought i only missed an hour. damn -glad you decided to overflow
	🏝 10:25pm Scott67: Thanks Babs & Derek! Love you both! 🍻😎🤙💨🍺🍺❤️❤️🍁

	10:32pm DJ Babs: gnite all we love you!!!! ❤️
	10:32pm Derek Westerholm: Hmm..."In the first recording session"... Makes me think maybe they did more than one session for the album, though? Not sure how to interpret that.

Music behind DJ: Sounds Of The Ocean	Beach Sounds "Beach Sounds" by "Sounds Of The Ocean"	Ocean Sounds	Sounds Of The Ocean	2016
Soft Drinks	Pepsi Cola "Pepsi Cola" by "Soft Drinks"	Various - The Thing From The Crypt	Dark Entries	2013	Thank goodness for Dark Entries and their reissues. SOFT DRINKS were a short-lived synth-punk trio featuring the Jon Greville of Rudimentary Peni and Martin Drooper of The Magits who released a 3 song EP on Outer Himmylayan Productions. "The Thing From The Crypt," a 16-track compilation of UK DIY/Synth/New Wave/Post-Punk originally released in 1981. Showcasing the thriving post punk sound of Watford, a town in Hertfordshire, England, located 20 minutes northwest of central London. "'The Thing From The Crypt' neither attempts to sell a 'Wotford sound' nor claims to be a comprehensive guide to the area's best beat bands. Like all good compilations, its essence is variety: some tracks will make you come whilst other will make you vomit."		0:02:08 (Pop-up)
Visitors	Electric Heat "Electric Heat" by "Visitors"	Electric Heat 7"	Deep Cuts Records	1979	Visitors were a post punk band from Edinburgh, Scotland and formed in late 70s. Active from 1979-1981, the band consisted of brothers John and Derek McVay, pal Colin Craigie and rotating drummers Alan Laing and Keith Wilson. After impressing Peel with their debut single ‘Electric Heat’, he went on to financial back further recordings and gave them their own Peel Sessions, despite such a limited catalogue. After signing to 4AD, the Edinburgh group called it quits without getting to record their first full-length. Canadian label Telephone Explosion is releasing Poet’s End, a compilation of their three 7″s with four previously unreleased tracks. Their sound was classically angular with synths that were somehow both monotone and relentless.		0:04:31 (Pop-up)
Gambit of Shame	Dancing With The Turks	No Bounds - 1978 - 1982 Recordings	Dead Hedgehog Enterprises	2021	Hertfordshire's Gambit of Pain may have fallen through the cracks, and existed on the fringe of the scene, materializing from the fallout of other punk bands as a mutant form frm 1979 until their disbanding in 1984. They had numerous lineups over the years but hit their peak with the release of their only single "No Bounds" which was produced by ex-Soft Machine member and musical activist, Robert Wyatt.		0:08:18 (Pop-up)
X-Ray Pop	La Machine á Rêver "La Machine á Rêver" by "X-Ray Pop"	La Machine á Rêver - single	MB5	1984	X RAY POP are the synth-pop duo of Doc Pilot and Zouka Dzaza from Tours, France. They got their start in the no wave art group Bocal 5 in 1981 and split off in 1984 to focus on their own brand of quirky synthesized electronics. Influenced by Erik Satie, Brigitte Bardot, Suicide and Young Marble Giants, they call their music "minimum naive new wave." Armed with a Casio PT-20 keyboard and a rudimentary Yamaha MR10 drum machine they recorded their demo cassette and first 7" "Eurasienne"/ "La Machine à Rêver" in 1984. Their songs are short, concise and well structured; richly textured, moving at a quick speed with hardly a pause. The demos show a sense of humor, vitality and carefree playfulness. Zouka's pouting, tongue-in-cheek vocals (sung in French) come together for a catchy, sensuous, danceable, eccentric psychedelic ride. Reminiscent of the Mo-dettes, early OMD or Algebra Suicide, X RAY POP could be the missing link to Stereolab. The video for this tune is sublimely beachy!!!!		0:11:00 (Pop-up)
Inflatable Boy Clams	Marin "Marin" by "Inflatable Boy Clams"	Inflatable Boy Clams	Subterranean Records	1981	San Francisco provocateurs Inflatable Boy Clams recorded one of the greatest all-female art punk records ever made, a wrongfully obscure five-song double 7-inch EP which has garnered a cult following ever since its initial release on Subterranean Records in 1981. While the music blends simple instrumentation and captivating, quirky lyrics, the artwork looks like an early Rough Trade single, complete with posh Winogrand-esque photo of the group. More of a performance art troupe than a traditional rock band, the Boy Clams often rotated between instruments and shared vocal duties: JoJo Planteen, Judy Gittelsohn and Carol Detweiler (the latter two both members of Pink Section), along with saxophone player Genvieve Boutet de Monvel.		0:13:20 (Pop-up)
Plastiktanz	Mir Geht Es Danke Gut	Wir Sind Rein	Musik-Für-Festliche-Stunden	1981	Not much is known or documented about Plastiktanz. Only one single...this one...exists. No info otherwise on this German band. This song appears on "Sowas von egal" a collaboration between the Hamburg record label Bureau B and the Hamburg party series Damaged Goods where they present rare, obscure synth & wave discs from the early 1980s which absolutely deserve to heard. It was clear from the outset that “Sowas von egal 2” would need to scale similar heights of excellence as its predecessor, featuring carefully selected, sought-after, danceable tunes. In contrast to the first volume, most of the acts here were only active in the early 1980s and have not released any records since then. The tape artists were particularly invested in the DIY ethic – as is often apparent in their sound aesthetics and the unbridled energy which has lost none of its intensity today. Their art was seldom – if ever – tempered by commercial considerations or sales strategies.		0:15:50 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Hugh Le Caine	Dripsody "Dripsody" by "Hugh Le Caine"	Introduction To Canadian Music	Naxos	1997	Hugh Le Caine (May 27, 1914 – July 3, 1977) was a Canadian physicist, composer, and instrument builder. Though his composition output was small, Le Caine is remembered as one of the great pioneer composers of musique concrète, his best known work being Dripsody (1955), a piece of musique concrète based on the sound of a single drop of water that over the course of the piece is permuted and contorted into a variety of sounds. Le Caine used a metal wastebasket filled with two inches of water, held an eyedropper ten inches above the wastebasket, and tape-recorded the water drops for thirty minutes. After reviewing the resulting recording, Le Caine selected one of the water drops and spliced it onto a short tape loop. This allowed the water drop to repeat like a traditional ostinato figure.		0:17:43 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Anadol	Görünmez Hava "Görünmez Hava" by "Anadol"	Uzun Havalar	Pingipung	2019	Anadol (@altinkasetcilik) is a psychedelic synth folk project by Gözen Atila, a Turkish sound artist and photographer based in Berlin. Her Anadol project walks in the footsteps of lone synth experimentalists like Bruce Haack and The Space Lady with their childlike curiosity for electronic sounds, pushing the boundaries of minimal equipment. On Uzun Havalar she translates her experimental background into these floating folk ballads.		0:20:24 (Pop-up)
Spread Joy	Contrition "Contrition" by "Spread Joy"	II	Feel It	2022	Released May 13, this is one of the few songs not yet played from this album on WFMU. Available for "Name Your Price" on Bandcamp. "Spread Joy may as well be their own musical genre. An immediate flavor and mercurial 'Qu'est-ce que c'est?' begin their second album with the 45 second opener "Ow". Coincidentally, the album spins at 45, just like Spread Joy's self-titled 2021 debut. The Chicago group came out of nowhere, mid-pandemic, with a stunning ten track LP on Feel It. Returning to the warm analog environment at Jamdek Recording Co., Spread Joy have truly honed their craft across these 17 minutes and 17 seconds. This is the kind of punk-forward music that is made to be heard and felt, far from the distorted mirror of the web. A group living free, moving at their own speed, and making music that will be remembered - that's Spread Joy, folks!" Spread Joy (Bandcamp)		0:28:07 (Pop-up)
BZDET	Podróż "Podróż" by "BZDET"	KŁAMCA	Syf Records	2022	Released Aug 23, this can be yours on Bandcamp for any price you choose. "Podróż" translates to "Journey", which seems to be one of the loose themes of this week's show. BZDET are on Syf Records, Szczecin, Poland. Their band name translates to "Rubbish". New album KŁAMCA translates to "Liar". They have the following to say to explain their latest release "New shit from solo looser-wave-post-punk BZDET. 12 new songs about shitty prime minister, shitty people's attitiude and shitty viagra boys" BZDET - KŁAMCA (Bandcamp)	*	0:29:03 (Pop-up)
Crime Of Passing	Hunting Knife "Hunting Knife" by "Crime Of Passing"	Crime Of Passing	Future Shock Recordings	2022	Released Apr 22, this the only full length song from this album not yet played on WFMU. Available for "Name Your Price" on Bandcamp. "A stunning combination of style, vision, and execution. Crime of Passing, alongside related projects like The Serfs and The Drin, are at the helm of Cincinnati, Ohio's vibrant post-punk underground. Led by Andie Luman's fervent vocals, Crime of Passing's self-titled debut album is a wondrously textured web of sound. Shades of early 80's post-punk, synth-driven electro pop, and heavier Industrial/Krautrock tones combine across an album both instantly memorable and futuristic. Nine cold tracks for a new dark age."

Rouge	Haunted By Visions "Haunted By Visions" by "Rouge"	Rouge	Phantom Records	2022	Released Apr 1 2022. They are from Berlin, Germany. Available for "Name Your Price" on Bandcamp.

Gidnim'Rém	Tetszik tudni "Tetszik tudni" by "Gidnim'Rém"	Antipatika	Bandcamp	2022	Released Sep 5. Available for "Name Your Price" on Bandcamp Gidnim'Rém hail from Debrecen, Hungary. They jumped into the chatroom as we were broadcasting! They said the following about this song "The title actually means something like "Did you know" in a sort of condescending tone... ..."Tetszik tudni" is about being annoyed, the chorus goes "What's bothering you? Everything. Who's bothering you? Everyone". The second verse is basically a full on rant about pensioners. Just a song for blowing off some steam." and about the band: "I've been making music on my own since 2006 but the catalog only starts at 2014, I ditched the old stuff cause it's crap. Now we're doing stuff with a 4piece, not really touring sadly but we're definately trying to change that." Gidnim'Rém (Bandcamp)	*	0:36:14 (Pop-up)
H E A T	Open Portal "Open Portal" by "H E A T"	H E A T	Bandcamp	2022	Released this week on Sep 3. From San Francisco. Available for "Name Your Price" on Bandcamp. No info seems to exist for this band at this point, except for tags "rock garage heavy rock metal psychedelic witch San Francisco" This track is heavy, sludgy, drenched in reverb and maybe a little crunched. It has lovely singsong vocals buried amongst the garage-psych chug. Probably best not to confuse them with H.E.A.T. from Sweden. That is a different band. H E A T (Bandcamp)	*	0:39:01 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: The Federal Republic of Blap	Myrsky	Federal Miscellany Volume 2 (WIP)	Bandcamp	2022	Released Sep 4. Available for "Name Your Price" on Bandcamp. The album title includes "(WIP)", ie. Work In Progress. The artwork has a crudely drawn black-sharpie style text message "Placeholder Album Cover Art" against a white background. The Federal Republic of Blap is a great name. For all these reasons, this gets play. Artist statement: "I create chiptune and Intelligent Dance Music (IDM). My music is often experimental/avant-garde, so brace yourself.

TEKE::TEKE	Yoru Ni "Yoru Ni" by "TEKE::TEKE"	Shirushi	Kill Rock Stars	2021	TEKE::TEKE is a Montreal-based Japanese psych-rock group composed of guitarists Serge Nakauchi Pelletier & Hidetaka Yoneyama, bass player Mishka Stein, drummer Ian Lettre, flutist Yuki Isami, trombone player Etienne Lebel, and visual artist and vocalist Maya Kuroki. Featuring traditional Japanese instruments, flute and trombone alongside raging guitars and a pulsing rhythm section, TEKE::TEKE creates a sound reminiscent of 1960’s and 70’s era psychedelic Japanese soundtracks, with a frenetic, modern twist. On their debut album Shirushi, TEKE::TEKE blend classic Japanese balladry, surf rock, psychedelia, and more to produce a set of songs that play like soundtracks to a wildly eccentric epic film saga. We have played them before, and willl play them again! They take their name from the Japanese ghost story and Japanese urban legend about the ghost of a schoolgirl who is said to have fallen onto a railway line, where her body was cut in half by a train. She is an onryō, or a vengeful spirit, who lurks in urban areas and around train stations at night.		0:54:24 (Pop-up)
The Sueves	People They Come In Waves	R.I.P Clearance Event	Hozac Records	2018	Chicago’s punk underworld has reimagined itself several times over the past twenty years, from the cavorting slime punk damage of the early 2000s, through the fracturing of styles and directions a few years later, it’s all been simmering salaciously for generations now, and for the last few years, only a few really noteworthy band have grasped the raw agitation as well as The Sueves. Rearing their ugliness up through the tropes of plastic flowers and goofy sunglasses, these brave young ravagers are not content to sit idly by as the stench of indifference passes over the masses, always the “least chill” band at the rock’n roll party and that is really a good thing. You can’t just sit still when The Sueves are wielding their wares, both in person and on record, the aggression has to burst out somehow, and although it’s far, far easier to just appeal to the low-hanging fruit dangling at the bottom of the rock’n roll food chain, it’s far more respectable to be the ones who are bleeding and bruised, flipping over the tables & chairs with reckless abandon, every single time.		0:58:24 (Pop-up)
Night Beats	Egypt Berry "Egypt Berry" by "Night Beats"	Who Sold My Generation	Heavenly Recordings	2016	Rajan Billingsley moved to Seattle to study comparative religion at the University of Washington. Leaving Dallas, which he saw as "a wasteland of music", he founded Night Beats in 2009. Named after the Sam Cooke album 'Night Beat', the solo self-recorded Street (Atomic) EP was released that year via Holy Twist Records. After trying out a couple of different lineups, he asked high school friend and former B.B Mercy drummer James Traeger who was studying in Austin, Texas to move to Seattle to join Night Beats. After working together as a duo for a few months, they recruited bassist Tarek Wegner in January 2010 and played their first gig in March of that year at a house party in Seattle. Wegner, originally from Tacoma, Washington, had previously played with The Drug Purse and Paris Spleen. In ‘Who Sold My Generation’, Night Beats have concocted a broiling album which by any rights ought to blast them out of the basement of cultdom. The accompanying live shows are guaranteed to inspire levitation of one form or another. Get up on their cloud and you might just glimpse clear light.		1:00:56 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Holy Tongue	Misinai "Misinai" by "Holy Tongue"	Holy Tongue	Amidah Records	2020	Holy Tongue is a collaboration between percussionist Valentina Magaletti, best known for her work with Vanishing Twin, Tomaga, UUUU, Raime, Nicolas Jaar and Jandek among many others, and producer Al Wootton (TRULE Records, FKA Deadboy). This first EP is a product of an improvised session in East London. Heavily influenced by dub reggae, the two bring a mutual appreciation for the experimental dub of On-U-Sound, Muslimgauze, and post-punk bands such as Liquid Liquid and 23 Skidoo to the forefront of the sound. The result is an EP of psychedelic, free-form, high energy, spiritual dub-dance music.		1:06:19 (Pop-up)
Deerhoof	My Lovely Cat! "My Lovely Cat!" by "Deerhoof"	My Lovely Cat! (Digital Single)	Joyful Noise	2022	Thought about Deerhoof on Tuesday, they released a new single on Wednesday (Sep 7) & now we play it on Thursday. Life is weird sometimes. Speaking of that... "In 2019, the internet-famous cat Lil Bub died at the age of eight, and the world mourned. Today, the oblique indie rock veterans Deerhoof have dedicated their new single “My Lovely Cat” to Lil Bub, even though they weren’t specifically thinking about Bub when they wrote the song. Deerhoof recorded “My Lovely Cat” with Bub’s owner Mike Bridavsky at Winnipeg, Canada’s No Fun Club. The new track comes less than a year after Deerhoof’s album Actually, You Can, and it’s a little more straightforward than a lot of Deerhoof songs. Deerhoof leader Satomi Matsuzaki wrote and sang the lyrics to the new song “My Lovely Cat” in Japanese, and she also designed the cover art. The song is as skittery and off-kilter as you might expect from this band, but it’s also got a gentle, bittersweet hook and a giddy and unpredictable sort of energy — a bit like a cat, you could say. In a press release, Deerhoof have this to say: "If you were going to compose a song about a cute cat from the internet, then get it recorded and mixed and mastered by an outside producer known not only for their recording and mixing and mastering, but for their cute cat from the internet, well, you would be shrewd indeed. But this of course we did not do, because we didn’t know about Mike Bridavsky or Lil Bub when we wrote the song! Well, we think about him now: a true collaborator and artist and friend."" Speaking of Winnipeg's No Fun Club recording studio... "Built over the course of five years, Winnipeg’s No Fun Club studios brings together new and vintage technologies inside an opulent facility built out of 300-year-old reclaimed barn wood."

Pixies	Dregs Of The WIne "Dregs Of The WIne" by "Pixies"	Doggerel	Pixies Recording Inc / BMG	2022	Released Sep 6, in advance of the new album out at the end of the month. "‘Dregs Of The Wine’ marks Pixies guitarist Joey Santiago’s first writing credit, with frontman Black Francis providing the lyrics which, he says, are about “living in Los Angeles in the ’90s with my then-wife, hanging out with Joey and his ex-wife, lots of trips to Las Vegas, a lot of drinking, little bit drug taking, some genuine good times.” Speaking about the origin of the song, Santiago added: “I guess I was in kind of a zombie state, just playing. After I stopped playing I put it down and went, ‘Well, that was a fucking waste of time, what a piece of shit I am’. “I beat myself up a lot, but my girlfriend, unbeknownst to me, was recording me. She played it back to me and I go, ‘Fuck! Hold on a second here! This stuff is good!’”"	*	1:22:07 (Pop-up)
Björk, feat. Kasimyn	Atopos "Atopos" by "Björk, feat. Kasimyn"	Fossora	One Little Indian	2022	Released Sep 6, in advance of her upcoming 10th album Fossora, which is the feminine version of the Latin word for "digger." She is also launching a podcast series exploring her discography. "After having just announced her tenth studio album, Fossora, Björk is back with the first taste off her forthcoming record, "atopos," and it's safe to say its unlike anything we've heard from Björk before. / "Describing the album opener as being “kinda like Fossora’s passport,” the track makes good on her promise to deliver a darker, bass-heavy sound with a morose clarinet sextet and a sharp, throbbing beat courtesy of Gabber Modus Operandi's DJ Kasimyn. Directed by Viðar Logi, the single arrives alongside a fungi-filled visual that sees Björk and her compatriots partake in a subterranean rave. Drawing inspiration from feelings of isolation during the pandemic and the gabber-filled raves she would throw in her living room, "atopos" dwells on the notion of connection and ways to foster and embrace that which binds us together. “The lyrics are inspired by what Roland Barthes described as the unclassifiable OTHER," the singer said in a tweet. She goes on to quote the song's lyrics: "Our differences are irrelevant our union is stronger than us.”"	*	1:25:39 (Pop-up)
Lucrecia Dalt	Dicen "Dicen" by "Lucrecia Dalt"	¡Ay!	RVNG Intl.	2022	This track released Aug 23. "Lucrecia Dalt (born 1980) is a Colombian experimental musician who currently resides in Berlin. While her earlier releases were rooted in electronic dance music her work has evolved over time to become more overtly abstract and experimental." On her upcoming album ¡Ay!, Dalt continues to explore conceptual narratives while pushing her sound design to new heights. ¡Ay! tells the story of an eccentric alien entity named Preta who has just landed on Earth, and on the album’s latest offering, “Dicen,” Dalt acts as a distant third-person omniscient narrator, detailing the gossip surrounding Preta’s arrival. “They say … she walks in a borrowed skin,” Dalt sings.	*	1:30:23 (Pop-up)
Mauskovic Dance Band	Bukaroo Bank	Bukaroo Bank	Bongo Joe	2022	This track out this week, full album out Oct 28, 2022. The band is from Amsterdam, Netherlands. "Recorded in 2020, during one of the Netherlands’ intermittent lockdown bouts, for this one the MDB wanted to step up from their previous homebase, Garage Noord – an ad hoc Amsterdam space for recording, practise and after-hours parties. They chose Electric Monkey, operated by engineer Kasper Frenkel. His stacks of what Nicola calls “very strange equipment”, and ability to sprinkle magic dub dust over everything, suited the vibe perfectly. The results glow and shiver with assembled synth sounds, rhythms spliced and echoed in a way that hails late Jamaican dub great Lee Perry – maybe the band’s biggest influence. Some sections might remind you of Afro-disco or slightly older highlife, others industrial prototypes like early Cabaret Voltaire, or 1980s On-U Sound mainstays like African Head Charge, or NYC groovers such as Liquid Liquid... there are outbreaks of saxophone, congas, echo units, wah-wah disco guitars, beats that sound programmed but aren’t (a nod to MDB’s industrial side). If that sounds fun to you, be assured that Bukaroo Bank is an irrepressibly fun album – but one that contains multitudes.

Romperayo	El Borracho "El Borracho" by "Romperayo"	Así No Se Puede Muchaches	Souk Records	2022	Romperayo are from Bogotá, Colombia, this album came out July 2022, and they already have new songs up on Bandcamp in the last few days. "El Borracho" translates to "The Drunkard", by the way. "Romperayo is a musical journey through Colombian tropical folklore of the second half of the 20th century, a mischievous and modern interpretation of the up-tempo rhythms of “Descarga” and the psychedelic sounds of ’70s cumbia. Romperayo is distinguished by the prominence of the rhythm section, probably because the band was formed by the “capitán” of the new generation of Colombian percussionists: drummer Pedro Ojeda, who also plays in Los Pirañas, Palanca, CieloMama, Frente Cumbiero, Ondatrópica and Mucho Indio. Eblis Alvarez (from the world-renowned Meridian Brothers and Los Pirañas)tweaks samplers and electronics, organ and piano virtuoso Ricardo Gallo plays the synths, and well-known double-bassist and composer Juan Manuel Toro is on the electric bass. By cleverly incorporating urban sounds and sampling techniques into the tropical music of the past decades, Romperayo embodies Colombia’s modern folklore scene."

Boxset / NEU! / Tribute Album	Groenland Records	2022	"The National have shared a remix of Neu!’s song “Im Glück.” The legendary Krautrock duo of Michael Rother and the late Klaus Dinger originally released the track on their 1972 self-titled LP. “Im Glück (The National Remix)” will appear on a tribute album featured in the forthcoming Neu! 50! box set—out September 23 via Grönland. Neu! 50! will include the band’s first three studio LPs—Neu!, Neu! 2!, and Neu! 75—as well as Neu! ’86 in the CD box. The tribute album will feature reworks from Mogwai, Idles, Hot Chip’s Alexis Taylor, Yann Tiersen, Guerilla Toss, and more.

Krisma	C-Rock "C-Rock" by "Krisma"	Chinese Restaurant	Universal Italia	1977	In 1976, Maurizio Arcieri and his wife Christina Moser formed the duo under the name "Chrisma" in Milan. The name was a combination of their initials. The very same year, the couple moved to London to record "U" and "Amore" with the producer Nico Papathanassiou and his brother Vangelis. Chinese Restaurant is a fascinating record, with a number of musical references from rock to minimal synth but this tune shines in its absolutely perfect nod to Krautrock and all things Motorik.		1:56:07 (Pop-up)

Fujiya & Miyagi	Knickerbocker "Knickerbocker" by "Fujiya & Miyagi"	Lightbulbs	Fujiya & Miyagi	2008	Fujiya & Miyagi is a British group formed in Brighton, East Sussex, England, in 2000. The current line-up consists of David Best (vocals and guitar), Stephen Lewis (synths and vocals), Ed Chivers (drums), Ben Adamo and Ben Farestuedt (bass and vocals). They have released eight studio albums, Lightbulbs is their third. They're not really a krautrock band either, they just play danceable pop music with one hell of a deadpan expression. Lena Zavaroni, who is mentioned as the ghost in the lyrics was a Scottish child star of the 70s and 80's, a little girl with an incredible voice, somewhat similar to Amy Winehouse. She struggled with the pressures of fame, which caused her to develop Anorexia. She died tragically from the disease at the age of 35 .		2:03:59 (Pop-up)
Snapped Ankles	Jonny Guitar Calling Gosta Berlin	Come Play The Trees	The Leaf Label	2017	One of the first tunes I'd ever heard by my beloved Snapped Ankles and I was smitten right away. The Quietus described the album as "propulsive and angular", praised it as "the embodiment of the weird, wonderful and true ecology of it all, presented by a bunch of folks dressed like ditches" and compared the band to "a pagan Can or a forested Fall". The band cites the diverse influences of Morris dancing, Old Norse texts, Jean-Luc Godard, Lightning Bolt, Fela Kuti and London warehouse parties.		2:07:22 (Pop-up)

The band consists of Michael DRUMMER (drums), Franz BARGMANN (guitar) and Timm BROCKMANN (keyboards). They have been attached with a ''Krautrock Guerilla'' epithet for their modern type of Krautrock the play, which, as reported, blends elements of NEU!, KRAFTWERK and Can and often improvise their compositions.

Listener comments!
	7:50pm DJ Babs: Hello, welcome Beachers...are you ready for a road trip? Let's head to the surf...your ride leaves in just a few minutes....
	7:59pm laurapanic: Loving the byline for this week.....
	8:00pm laurapanic: runs to get scarf for the drive in the cool 80s convertible PUT DOWN THE TOP, PEOPLE!
	🏝 8:00pm Scott67: G'day Babs, Derek & Beached.🏖️ Sharing love on this momentous & sad day for our Commonwealth. I'm a Republican Punk, but she was an amazing Woman. My Smiths CD is sitting in the rack, mocking my sadness. 🍻😎🤙💨🍺🍺❤️❤️
	8:01pm ultradamno: Babs! Derek! Beach Bums! The MES political platform twitter.com...
	🏝 8:02pm Kat in Chicago: Which way to the Beach?
	8:03pm Mr Fab: a beach party that's also a road trip? sounds like a surfin safari. Count me in.
	8:04pm Derek Westerholm: Hello Laura, Scott, Ultra, Kat, Fab, hello hello hello!
	8:04pm DJ Babs: Hello hello everyone!!! Scott, Ultra, Fab, Laura...Kat! Great to see you!!!
	8:04pm ultradamno: Dunce buggies will get that done
	8:05pm Derek Westerholm: Yes, rest in peace to her majesty, Scott.
	8:05pm laurapanic: I love that there is the implication of the thriving post punk sound in Watford
	8:05pm squidbeak: Well said Scott Cheers everyone
	8:06pm Mr Fab: Canadians gotta change their money now?
	8:06pm Derek Westerholm: Ultra, haha, I remember when that interview came out. Hilarious!
	8:06pm Alli B: Hi!
	🏝 8:06pm Scott67: Cheers Squid! 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	8:07pm DJ Babs: Hello Hello Alli!
	🏝 8:07pm Scott67: & Australians Fab!
	8:07pm DJ Babs: Hello Squidbeak!
	8:08pm DJ Babs: Possibly we may, but we got lots of other peeps on our money besides her...I am sad. I loved the queen. Hated what the monarchy stood for but she was by all accounts an exceptional lady.
	🏝 8:09pm Kat in Chicago: Canadian money is much cooler than US money
	8:09pm DJ Babs: I'm not playing the queen is dead because I don't want morrissey to make any more money on this. Johnny Marr is a great fella tho!
	8:10pm Derek Westerholm: Hello Squidbeak! Nice to see a Squid on the beach!
	8:10pm squidbeak: Cheers Babs, its weird in London at the mo
	8:11pm Derek Westerholm: Hello Alli!
	8:11pm squidbeak: Cheers Derek!
	8:11pm DJ Babs: no doubt Squidbeak. have been reaching out to my UK pals and...it must be very odd indeed.
	🏝 8:13pm Kat in Chicago: I can't even imagine what it would be like to be there right now
	🏝 8:13pm Kat in Chicago: This X Ray Pop is cute
	8:14pm DJ Babs: I imagine it's kinda like losing your Gran. We in Canada are probably one of the strongest members of the Commonwealth along with Aus...so we hold tight to that. There's a pretty big Mod scene here still in the bigger cities...especially Toronto...lots of Anglophiles here....
	8:14pm DJ Babs: Yes Kat! I again am always so chuffed to find new/old artists I don't know about every single week!
	8:14pm ultradamno: ARB played a little X Ray Pop in her recent Blumin fill-in
	8:15pm DJ Babs: lol enjoy this next tune it makes me laugh ALL the time...
	8:16pm DJ Babs: @ultradamno nice!
	🏝 8:16pm Scott67: Babs, Liz was like my Gran, even looked like my Gran, who died over 30 years ago on this day.
	8:17pm ultradamno: Pink Section's Cars Don't Wait For Love does that to me, the way she says "silly pedestrians" and when she gets all worked up. Great band
	8:17pm DJ Babs: awww Scott, that is so sad and yet also so lovely...
	8:17pm DJ Babs: Yes, we've played Pink Section not too long ago and made that connection so great to get to the Clams on the show now!
	🏝 8:18pm Scott67: My Mum will be hit hard.
	8:18pm DJ Babs: oh for sure. I think for a certain generation, it means quite a bit....
	8:19pm Derek Westerholm: Scott, condolences on this 30th year anniversary of your Gran's passing.
	8:22pm laurapanic: Babs, do you get most of these tracks from the library at WFMU or from your own collection, or online? Amazing curation of new things to introduce us to.
	8:22pm ultradamno: There was a dude in Pink Section, wasn't there? The one who went on to SRL
	8:23pm ultradamno: Matt Heckert, is who I was thinking of...also Stephen Wymore
	8:24pm squidbeak: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/mar/16/what-happens-when-queen-elizabeth-dies-london-bridge
	8:26pm Mr Fab: Inflatable Boy Clams! "Skeletons" was quite the Rodney Bingenheimer/college radio fave back in the day. At least in LA. Such a cool band.
	🏝 8:29pm Kat in Chicago: waves
	8:30pm DJ Babs: lol i can't talk tonight. I started off the show with a stiff gin and tonic to toast the queen, lol.
	8:31pm Derek Westerholm: The CN tower here in Toronto is not going to be lit up, to mark the passing of the Queen.
	🏝 8:32pm Scott67: I just opened a beer & did same Bab's! 🍻😎🤙🍸👑
	8:32pm ultradamno: BZDET also has this page bzdet.bandcamp.com
	8:32pm Alli B: The double rainbow over Buckingham Palace was really something
	8:32pm DJ Babs: Yeah, RIGHT!? That was quite awesome!
	🏝 8:32pm Kat in Chicago: The what???
	8:33pm ultradamno: Long live King Chas
	🏝 8:33pm Kat in Chicago: I suppose I'll see a bunch of pictures of it later
	8:33pm ultradamno: ...or maybe King Chucky, 'cause he's a good guy
	8:34pm DJ Babs: The CN tower. That's our big landmark here in toronto...kinda like your Willis Tower in Chi-Town
	8:34pm Alli B: It was definitely awesome in its correct usage
	8:34pm DJ Babs: www.cntower.ca
	8:34pm Alli B: What colour are they lighting the CN tower?
	8:35pm Derek Westerholm: Or did Kat mean "The what???" to the Double Rainbow?
	8:35pm DJ Babs: I think they are not lighting it...which is interesting, I thought they'd do it in red white and blue but dark....well that's even more of a statement for sure.
	8:35pm Derek Westerholm: Ali, no colour, unlit. No light!
	8:35pm Alli B: Sorry I misread
	8:35pm DJ Babs: I hope a goddamn plane doesn't fly into it!
	🏝 8:36pm Kat in Chicago: I meant it to the double rainbow yes
	8:36pm DJ Babs: I've moved on to a very chewy bottle of Spanish Temperanillo now. It's VERYY good!
	8:37pm Derek Westerholm: Kat, I figured, haha.
	🏝 8:37pm Kat in Chicago: I might crack a beer myself
	8:38pm DJ Babs: hey,it's ALMOST Friday! Also...I like this song Derek!
	8:39pm DJ Babs: lol also can anyone pick out the mistake I made in this week's art collage?
	8:39pm Mr Fab: the hitchhiker has his arms on backwards!
	🏝 8:40pm Kat in Chicago: Haha yes the hand
	8:40pm Gidnim'Rém: The title actually means something like "Did you know" in a sort of condescending tone
	8:42pm Derek Westerholm: Alli, no apologies please! Wasn't meaning to be snippy, just wanted to elaborate!
	8:42pm Derek Westerholm: Gidnim'Rém, hello!!!
	8:42pm DJ Babs: WELCOME GIDINIM REM!!! We LOVE your song!!!
	8:43pm Derek Westerholm: Tell us more about the song! What a surprise to have you here!
	8:43pm Alli B: Our messages crossed over as I realized I missed it :)
	8:43pm DJ Babs: lol and yes Mr. Fab and Kat you absolutely got it!
	8:43pm Derek Westerholm: :)
	🏝 8:43pm Scott67: So black light then Derek? 🍻😉🤙
	8:43pm Derek Westerholm: Scott, haha, yeah, probably! Stealth mode.
	8:43pm DJ Babs: I love the serendipity of when a band we're playing joins in on the chat! @GIDNIM REM please let us know about your amazing band!
	8:43pm Gidnim'Rém: Awesome set by the way, already put a few of 'em in the collection
	8:44pm Derek Westerholm: Fantastic, lovely to have you here with us! Tell us a story about the band!
	8:44pm DJ Babs: Thank you so much! We pride ourselves on playing only the cool shit, lol. ;-)
	🏝 8:45pm Scott67: 2 right hands, he can only hitch one way!
	8:47pm DJ Babs: haha I myself didn't notice until it was too late and was like "meh...makes it better" lol
	8:48pm Mr Fab: "Intelligent Dance Music" is a genre name I want to punch in the face.
	8:49pm Gidnim'Rém: Oh "Tetszik tudni" is about being annoyed, the chorus goes "What's bothering you? Everything. Who's bothering you? Everyone". The second verse is basically a full on rant about pensioners. Just a song for blowing off some steam. You pronounced the title perfectly :D
	8:51pm Alli B: 😂😂😂
	8:52pm ultradamno: What you see every time you go to Cinti twitter.com...
	8:52pm ultradamno: EVERY TIME!
	🏝 8:53pm Scott67: Just got a message from a mate visiting Canada. He said to tell ya you've got great Sandwiches! 🍻😎🤙🥪🌯🥙
	8:54pm DJ Babs: WE DO!
	🏝 8:56pm Scott67: I like sandwiches! Send us a sanga willya mate! 🍻😎🤙🥪
	8:58pm Derek Westerholm: Gidnim'Rém: thanks for that! We mentioned your comment as we backannounced... Advantages of a live show!
	8:58pm DJ Babs: My mom made the best sandwiches when I was a kid and now I'm all about the sandwiches...
	8:58pm Alli B: Sandwiches rule
	8:58pm Derek Westerholm: Gidnim'Rém, how long have you been making music? Are you touring?
	🏝 8:58pm Kat in Chicago: I was just in Montreal and had a spectacular bagel with salmon, capers and cream cheese at St-Viateur Cafe -Mont-Royal, does that count as a sandwich
	8:58pm DJ Babs: We livein a part of Toronto that is "Little Poland" and there's a deli there that is fucking legendary. I get my cold cuts there every week. Plus their pickles are fucking godlike!
	8:59pm DJ Babs: oh yeah! Every time I'm in Montreal I gotta go to Kaplansky's for a proper sandwich!
	8:59pm Derek Westerholm: It is true I have had some excellent sandwiches throughout my life thus far in Canada. Montreal has some excellent sandwich spots. I would count a bagel as a sandwich, just because I like to count bagels into most of my life.
	9:00pm Alli B: I miss Sherm’s
	9:01pm DJ Babs: Oh Sherms...they were freakin' great! I could eat mountains of smoked meat...wrong as it is. Kat....next time you're in montreal you must have Sugar Pie!!!
	🏝 9:01pm Kat in Chicago: Sugar Pie? Do tell.
	9:02pm DJ Babs: Brit..who is a fixture in the chat...but not with us tonight..her husband has a bagel company and their bagels are AMAZING.
	9:02pm Derek Westerholm: Café Santropol is the place to get sandwiches in Montréal. I have had so many spectacular sandwiches there. www.santropol.com...
	9:02pm Alli B: So decadent ❤️
	9:02pm DJ Babs: www.ourhappymess.com...
	🏝 9:02pm Kat in Chicago: I gotta start taking notes for next year!
	9:02pm DJ Babs: It's like a creamier version of a butter tart in a pie. FUCK it is so good!
	9:03pm ultradamno: The other icon of Cinti twitter.com...
	9:03pm Alli B: Sucre à la crème DROOOL
	9:03pm laurapanic: this chat is making me hungry
	9:04pm Gidnim'Rém: Thanks so much, awesome! I've been making music on my own since 2006 but the catalog only starts at 2014, I ditched the old stuff cause it's crap. Now we're doing stuff with a 4piece, not really touring sadly but we're definately trying to change that.
	9:06pm MHLee: HI FRIENDS
	🏝 9:06pm Kat in Chicago: Oh dear lord, sugar pie.
	9:06pm MHLee: i like the colors of this show
	9:07pm DJ Babs: hello MHLee!! I'm afraid we just had a bit of a Tempranillo incident here...lol. I just bitched a whole glass behind a speaker LOL
	🏝 9:07pm Scott67: I have leftover Pizza Puttanesca! 🍻😎🤙🍕
	9:09pm MHLee: Otis spilled water on the mic during a slow transit episode
	9:09pm MHLee: I see TEKE:TEKE, that's on my university station's rotation
	9:10pm Bri: Scotty! I was going to send a text to my friend today with a picture of my “Queen is dead” Cd, my friend’s a huge Smith’s fan
	9:12pm DJ Nico: I'm in!
	🏝 9:12pm Scott67: Bri, I took my CD outa the rack & was gunna do the same in a FB Post. But then thought, too soon. So rang Mum instead, cos knew she'd be sad. 🍻😎🤙💨🌻
	9:14pm Mr Fab: Only use anything Morrisey-related for target practice, and play The Ukrainians' version of "The Queen is Dead"! (Which, yeah I know, still has that Moz writing credit..)
	9:14pm ultradamno: Is Meep just sitting by and letting this unchecked arachnid aggression stand?
	9:17pm ultradamno: Japan wants you to drink more
	9:17pm Alli B: Yo! The other week Nora (dog) was drooling like crazy, and looking at something on the floor. I get up to look, very pensively, and it’sa fucking scarab beetle!
	🏝 9:17pm Kat in Chicago: I read that about Japan
	9:18pm DJ Babs: lol omg, that was hiliarious
	9:20pm Alli B: It was HUGE! James chipped it out the front door with his golf club and then hit it into the road
	🏝 9:20pm Kat in Chicago: aw I miss Lil Bub
	9:20pm DJ Babs: awww lil bub! He was a great cat!
	🏝 9:20pm Kat in Chicago: Scarab golfing, that's a new one
	9:20pm Gidnim'Rém: It's always possible to name your spiders and assign them various insect catching duties as rent.
	🏝 9:20pm Scott67: I actually had a Smiths; The Queen Is Dead T-shirt in the 80's. Sadly long departed now.👕
	9:21pm ultradamno: It's all about crickets here. The've been getting into the ducts and singing away
	9:21pm DJ Babs: Yeah, if only you'd seen the comedy of errors that just happened here....
	9:21pm Mr Fab: add a camera! Uncle Michael over on the Drummer stream does his show on camera.
	9:22pm Derek Westerholm: Hi MHLee, Bri, Nico, hello!
	9:22pm DJ Babs: Hello Bri and Nico and MHLee! Fabulous to see you here!!!
	9:22pm MHLee: Hi Derek!
	9:23pm DJ Babs: I would love to do our show on camera one of these days...then you can all see the cuteness that is MeepMoop in action!
	9:23pm Derek Westerholm: Gidnim'Rém, I've been trying to get the cat to work for his rent for years now. He just stares at me, defiantly. So it works with the spiders, though? I'll keep this in mind...
	9:24pm MHLee: Speaking of Van Halen, I actually have a Van Halen track it my show for tomorrow
	9:24pm Derek Westerholm: Duct crickets!
	9:25pm DJ Babs: @Gidnim Rem we tend to name all of our spiders "Peter" after my dead dad, lol. I have no idea why.
	9:26pm Derek Westerholm: Ultra: "Japan wants you to drink more" hahahahaha lol
	9:26pm Gidnim'Rém: Arachnids seem like a more german-work ethic type as opposed to the feline creatures.
	9:26pm Alli B: Duct Crickets could be a good bluegrass band name
	9:26pm DJ Babs: It's true they do! Mike Rodgers mentioned that on his show the other day!
	9:26pm ultradamno: Usually, they don't start in until about now, but they've been around for months now...I don't what kind of climate change fuckery that is...
	9:27pm Derek Westerholm: Looping back to pre-wine spilling chat items... Mr. Fab, ""Intelligent Dance Music" is a genre name I want to punch in the face.", hahaha.
	9:27pm DJ Babs: Crickets! We were discussing crickets the other night again. How you can tell how the temperature changes by the frequency of their chirping....
	9:27pm Gidnim'Rém: We call them Joseph, it's a family tradition. Weird and sort of comforting that other people do this as well
	9:27pm ultradamno: Bjork!
	9:27pm DJ Babs: Agreed "IDM' as a concept suuuuuuuucks...lol
	9:28pm DJ Babs: Yes Gidnim Rem! I love that! And yes...the new Bjork is pretty fab. I love her new Fungi/Moss theme she's got going on this new record.
	9:30pm ultradamno: It dovetailed with me reading a bunch about zombie fungi, that keeps dead cicadas and ants and flys moving, and also some pretty crazy pics of, in fact, spiders with fungal infections
	9:31pm Alli B: Uhhh
	9:31pm Derek Westerholm: The video for this is pretty wild.
	9:32pm MHLee: The zombie fungus is quite wild
	9:32pm Cp304: Bjork!
	9:32pm ultradamno: They don't go and cannibalize other insects but the fungus drives them to get near them, resulting in spreading the infection and killing them. So effectively a real zombie situation.
	9:32pm Derek Westerholm: As one would expect a Björk video to be
	9:32pm Cp304: Ditto ultra
	9:33pm Derek Westerholm: I really need to delve further into the world of fungus and fungi
	9:34pm MHLee: I'm not a fungal world person. It's too crazy for me. That's why I do blood-feeding flies.
	9:34pm Gidnim'Rém: Is that zombie fungus the stuff that inspired the Last of Us series?
	9:35pm DJ Babs: I think we're going to go a bit late tonight if that's ok with you guys!
	9:35pm ultradamno: There was a pretty interesting segment on Mission Unstoppable about mushrooms creating an underground network that trees can use to warn other trees of disease and such
	🏝 9:35pm Kat in Chicago: I'm here for it, Babs
	9:35pm Alli B: Yusssss!!
	9:35pm DJ Babs: Possibly!? I am 100% down with zombie fungus. Also if I had a metal band i'd probably call it that.
	9:36pm DJ Babs: Fuck it, let's go late then!
	9:36pm ultradamno: The Happening would have been better if it had been inspired by it, I know that.
	9:36pm DJ Babs: I've started caring less about my actual day job and it's quite liberating!
	9:37pm MHLee: I've also figured that if zombies break out reality is very tedious... therefore I will summon Yog-Sothoth
	9:39pm Alli B: I’m super stoned And outside; this song is insane rn 💚
	9:39pm DJ Babs: this tune is a grooooooooooove
	9:39pm ultradamno: My biggest fear about a zombie apocalypse is I'll have to hear an argument between someone who won't stop videotaping everything and the guy it annoys. I'll feed myself to the herd if that happens.
	9:40pm DJ Babs: right on Alli, here's hoping this and the next set will take you to the next level of consciousness!!
	🏝 9:40pm Scott67: Goooo Lonngggg!!!🍻😎🤙💨🍺🍺
	9:40pm Alli B: The moon is also absolutely gorgeous tonight
	9:41pm Derek Westerholm: Alli, nice!
	9:41pm DJ Babs: sweeeeeeet...we're gonna have to snap some pics of that!
	9:42pm Alli B: I think the harvest moon is tomorrow or Saturday. Always a beauty.
	9:42pm DJ Babs: sweet! We're gonna try and hit the beach (finally!) in Long Point so hopefully we can see it in its full glory!
	9:43pm MHLee: I figure if you can survive a few days of the zombie apocalypse, the flies will reduce the zombies to squishy maggots
	9:44pm Alli B: Ohhh I hope that pans out, Babs! That would be glorious!
	9:45pm ultradamno: I heard someone on TV say MAGA americans, is that not close to ATM machines? I shouldn't talk, though, I did post something about the 'AMC channel' about a week ago
	9:47pm Mr Fab: or PIN and VIN numbers
	9:48pm Alli B: eye twitch
	9:48pm DJ Babs: Haha...that's so weird that MAGA americans is a thing...isn't that an oxymoron????
	9:49pm ultradamno: There's a pretty good video of Iggy playing Hero with Michael Rother on guitar on You Tube from the spring
	🏝 9:50pm Kat in Chicago: I wonder if the local record store that I have a $300 credit sitting at is getting that NEU! 50
	9:50pm DJ Babs: Goddamn we just need to collectively keep Iggy alive and in good health for the next several years. I can't deal with losing him right now...
	9:50pm DJ Babs: Yes Kat! You should!!!
	9:51pm DJ Babs: Credit is not money spent! lol
	🏝 9:51pm Kat in Chicago: It's been sitting there a while too
	9:58pm ultradamno: Speaking of Winnipeg, new Guy Maddin coming deadline.com...
	9:59pm DJ Babs: awww yeah.... lol
	🏝 9:59pm Kat in Chicago: this is good
	10:00pm DJ Babs: it sure is! I've been dying to play it for weeeeeeeeks....this album is a GEM
	10:00pm coelacanth∅: good evening Babs & Derek and all
	10:01pm Alli B: Honestly this is just perfect
	10:01pm DJ Babs: hello hello coelacanth! You're just in time for some krautrock!!!
	10:03pm Derek Westerholm: Ultra, I'll have to track down that Michael Rother / Iggy collab... Hero is one of my fav tunes by Neu... Definitely see how it informed punk rock. Love how they can be so pastoral at some times, and others so spiky & obstinate.
	10:03pm DJ Nico: Thanks for the chunes!
	10:03pm MHLee: King Gizzard is so big in the college scene
	10:04pm Derek Westerholm: Hello coelacanth∅! Welcome welcome! We're going just a little over tonight, so some extra songs for you all!
	10:04pm MHLee: Was 2017 the year they released the album into the public domain?
	10:04pm DJ Babs: Yes, I admit I have lost interest because their output is a bit overwhelming...but I do love this track for sure!
	10:04pm Derek Westerholm: Nico, thanks for listening & being here, hope all is swell in your world!
	10:04pm DJ Babs: Alli I am so glad you are enjoying the tunes!!!!
	10:06pm DJ Babs: this tune....<chef's kiss>
	10:06pm MHLee: To be honest, Babs, I only have/will listen to half of it.
	🏝 10:06pm Scott67: Long live David Attenborough too Babs!
	🏝 10:06pm Kat in Chicago: I was wondering if Fujiya & Miyagi was going to turn up in this set. i saw them live about 10 years ago, maybe twice
	🏝 10:07pm Kat in Chicago: more than 10 years ago, and it was twice. I remember the second time was Lightbulbs tour
	10:08pm MHLee: Frank Drake, the man that encouraged SETI with his equation for extraterrestrial life passed away today
	10:09pm coelacanth∅: KVAUTVOK! VE HAV KVAUTVOK! vedigut
	10:09pm laurapanic: are we on a 3hr show today?
	🏝 10:10pm Scott67: 3 hours!! Lets do it!!!🍻😎🤙
	10:11pm Derek Westerholm: Haha, no plans for a 3 hour show, just spilling over a bit.
	10:11pm coelacanth∅: Cheers Scott!
	10:12pm DJ Babs: lol we are going long and flying a bit by the seats of our pants here!!!
	10:13pm coelacanth∅: i so wish this show wasn't when it is. big conflict! but then,it's getting so crowded that it's more often than not a conflict - at least in the evenings
	🏝 10:13pm Scott67: Cheers coel! 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	10:14pm DJ Babs: lol we are happy to have you here when you can Coelacanth!!!
	🏝 10:14pm Scott67: I like your pants seal Babs!🍻😎🤙💨🍺 Not in a weird way.... well...?
	10:16pm DJ Babs: hahahah! Not weird at ALL!!!
	🏝 10:16pm Scott67: seat*
	🏝 10:21pm Kat in Chicago: Lena Zavaroni turns up on a fair amount of WFMU playlist, even on Station Manager Ken's now and then. Very sad story.
	10:24pm Alli B: Thank you! It’s been great!
	10:24pm coelacanth∅: oh crap, i thought you were 9 to 11! thought i only missed an hour. damn -glad you decided to overflow
