	12:50am coelacanth∅: Will yeah i'd prefer records myself. i didn't think much of wipers when those albums came out, to be honest. and a few years later when i decided i liked it, it was already hard to find

	12:56am Maggie Hertz!: Thanks, Will!!!
	12:57am coelacanth∅: greetings spodi! 'night Will
	12:57am happymaan: ↳ Maggie Hertz! @12:50 Are you a fan of echolink? I think it's magical.
	12:58am coelacanth∅: for years it was miserable but they've finally made a decent vegan ham radio
	12:58am Maggie Hertz!: ↳ happymaan @12:57 I haven't gotten to use it yet!! I've heard such killer things about it
	12:59am happymaan: ↳ Maggie Hertz! @12:58 It's so great, I love being able to choose what repeater around the world to connect to. The hardest part about echolink is just getting your account setup/verified.
	1:00am RdEye: they don't grow that vegan ham on the ear of a mouse by any chance?
	1:01am coelacanth∅: you mean stem-cell ham radio?
	1:02am spodiodi: yo, coelacanthØ!
	1:04am RdEye: yummy. stem cell ham and eggs for breakfast in the morning
	1:05am happymaan: @Maggie I love the fact that since you're a ham you are so aware of all the rules they are breaking.
	1:07am Bobby: Feels good in here
	1:07am happymaan: The idea of legally broadcasting material that was illegal when first broadcasted is awesome.
	1:07am Maggie Hertz!: ↳ happymaan @12:59 That's def a February goal of mine!
	1:08am Maggie Hertz!: They are SO COOL! I'm sorry, I love the FCC and my by-the-book license... but, dang, it feels good to be bad sometimes ;-)
	1:08am TDK60: Ahoy.
	1:09am Maggie Hertz!: Heeeeey!
	1:09am RdEye: it's not what you broadcast it's the way that you broadcast it
	1:10am Maggie Hertz!: ↳ RdEye @1:09 DXactly!
	1:13am happymaan: This sounds like John Carpenter.
	1:20am coelacanth∅: (sounds like kraftwerk)
	1:20am Maggie Hertz!: Indeed!
	1:21am happymaan: @Maggie do you have a SDR radio setup?
	1:21am ian: Eargasm
	1:22am RdEye: some MAGA radio (make america groove again). we need a new beat
	1:23am Maggie Hertz!: ↳ happymaan @1:21 Not anymore! Just workin with my old Collins for now
	1:24am ?: I don’t know how WFMU knew I needed that in my life the show is perfect
	1:25am Maggie Hertz!: Well, shucks!! <3
	1:25am HyperDose: ↳ Song: "Radio Zero (Side B)" by "The Null Set" This is the best thing I could be listening to right meow
	1:25am ian: Does anyone know how long this life chat has been going on? I feel like I’ve been using it since around 2004, but my memory is hazy back then.
	1:26am ian: *live chat
	💣 1:27am Yvang: ↳ ian @1:25 I think it started around 2008, before there was just the live playlists.
	1:28am RdEye: I believe earliest live chat was inscribed in cave drawings of east orange, circa 2000 bc
	💣 1:29am Yvang: ↳ RdEye @1:28 That's before the crew started to dress vegan.
	1:30am TDK60: ↳ Yvang @1:27 Yvang, That sounds about right, '08.
	1:32am RdEye: hard to find a vintage vegan dress, that's true
	1:34am happymaan: ↳ Maggie Hertz! @1:23 I don't know Collins radio, I looked it up, those are vintage?
	💣 1:35am Yvang: ↳ TDK60 @1:30 After checking it's more mid-2007. The first time I posted a comment was on a Michael Goodstein show. 'Choking On Cufflinks'.
	1:36am Roberto: I recall having to email a DJ directly if one wanted to comment, circa 2004.
	1:37am Maggie Hertz!: ↳ happymaan @1:34 They are, yes! I've been slowly, but surely getting her back at her prime, but a really stellar radio! Unfortunately, my more modern stuff got flooded (a v long story).
	1:39am RdEye: ugghhh, a flood. i knew this show had biblical dimensions
	1:39am swivs: This is outstanding, btw. Thanks for this. 📻📡☢️🤌
	1:40am happymaan: Oh darn that sucks, I'm sorry...good luck getting her back on her feet. Keep an eye out for an estate sale from some SK's.
	1:41am Maggie Hertz!: ↳ RdEye @1:39 Called it from an ocean away!
	1:41am Maggie Hertz!: ↳ swivs @1:39 Heck yeah! Thanks for tunin' in!
	1:42am Maggie Hertz!: ↳ happymaan @1:40 Thanks!! Also, yeah, estate sales are a very good call!
	1:42am HyperDose: Mr. Swivs! 🙂🙃🙂😉
	1:43am RdEye: way more 'new testaments though...
	1:44am happymaan: ↳ Maggie Hertz! @1:42 Since I'm a member of my radio clubs I find out when that happens, I wouldn't know how to find them specifically for ham stuff any other way.
	1:44am happymaan: ↳ swivs @1:39 Hey man! How you doing?
	1:50am ian: Do you guys remember if they started the alternate stream during Jay M in the a.m. before the live chat?
	1:51am ian: I spent a lot of nights with Jay M in the a.m. as my go to sleep alarm call back when I was doing drugs, you know
	1:52am ian: But then they started putting alternate programming on web only so the party could keep going. Those were dark times.
	1:57am happymaan: @Maggie I'm so glad I came across your show tonight. I'll listen to one of your previous shows this Sunday while donating platelets, you will have my undivided attention.
	1:58am RdEye: all i know is it's 7 hours to JA in the AM, gotta get some sleep for ol John Allen's sake. thanks a metric ton Maggie, listening forward to next week
	1:59am ron-ji: I am only able to dip in & out of tonight’s show while working; absolutely plan to give it the closer attention it demands via the archives because pirate radio is a subject I have always wanted to explore deeper. BTW, does anyone know how long it takes for shows to get there? Because I say this to myself 2-3x a day and then forget to follow through.
	1:59am Maggie Hertz!: ↳ happymaan @1:57 Dawww! Stoked ya tuned in! Always a blast to chat radio with a fellow HAM lover! Plus, I don't like to toot my own horn, but I hear my shows are, like, top dog for platelet donation
	2:00am RdEye: this Nechvatal is too good to exit on
	2:01am Maggie Hertz!: ↳ ron-ji @1:59 Thank you so much for tuning in!! You're in good company! The show should be up in the archives around 9-10 am or so EST.
	2:02am ron-ji: Tonight’s audio collages are one of the things I love most about WFMU & the thing my husband hates most. Does anyone else out there have a mixed marriage of that kind?
	2:03am ron-ji: Thanks, Maggie! And thanks for such a deep dive into the subject.
	2:04am RdEye: @ron-ji...at this hour, they're too busy arguing to be able to answer you
	2:04am Maggie Hertz!: ↳ ron-ji @2:02 Haha! This is great! And you are very welcome!! Always stoked to recommend more airchecks and articles!
	2:05am greenlight: ↳ ron-ji @2:02 hahaha no ron-ji. actually my g/f is not in such a obscure stuff, but doesnt object when i listen to it. uhmm, I love that obscure stuff too!!! bith time.
	2:09am happymaan: ↳ Maggie Hertz! @1:59 There's dozens of us!
	2:10am HyperDose: ↳ happymaan @2:09 You're multiplying!
	2:10am ian: I want stated someone that was into the sound collages. They were bad news though. I shared love of sound collages is not enough to compensate for a basic lack of respect.
	2:10am Maggie Hertz!: Dozens might be an accurate count
	2:10am ian: *dated
	2:11am ian: I’m glad I lived the dream though, by all means, everyone find out for yourselves
	2:11am Maggie Hertz!: Been there, sailed that ship!
	2:12am happymaan: Can we get a photo of your Collins in the playlist @Maggie?
	2:12am Roberto: Hey Maggie, can I interest you in any tapes a 15/16-year-old cobbled together off his shortwave radio circa '81-'82?
	2:12am ian: I think you made a good choice marrying a Normie, someone has to bring home the bacon while we listen to sound collages till all hours
	2:12am happymaan: My wife and I are full in the WFMU cult, I'm surprised she hasn't shown up in this chat.
	2:13am happymaan: Oh, I'm gonna brag now. My wifes chili won first place at the chili cookoff we entered last week!
	2:13am Maggie Hertz!: ↳ Roberto @2:12 You have literally all of the interest I possess! Toss 'em over!! I'll send ya a Cat Bomb QSL as thanks! :-D
	💣 2:14am Yvang: Hell's Bells!(into the chaos)
	2:14am HyperDose: And you still find time to fish tires out of lakes haha
	2:14am Maggie Hertz!: ↳ happymaan @2:12 I'll snap a pic when I get back to BK!
	2:15am Aitch: Weird noises? I like it. Hello Maggie, please don't hertz me too much
	2:15am Roberto: ↳ Maggie Hertz! @2:13 Lolz I doubt I still have any of them, but I do have a box full of cassette crapola from the '80s I've been meaning to sort through.
	2:15am Maggie Hertz!: ↳ Aitch @2:15 I make no promises!
	2:18am ron-ji: I first became aware of Nechvatal as a visual artist (among other hats he has worn) in the East Village scene of the early 80s. He later collaborated with filmmaker Scott Billingslley (aka Scott B, ex partner of Beth B) on a multimedia performance at Hallwalls, the gallery/art center I worked at later that decade. http://www.hallwalls.org/performance/1470.html
	2:19am happymaan: ↳ Maggie Hertz! @2:14 What's BK?
	2:19am Roberto: ↳ Maggie Hertz! @2:13 One of my favorite moments: a French language DJ introducing James Brown's "Say It Loud."
	2:20am Hubig Pie: I just tuned in. I have no idea what be goin on. But I know all about cat bombs
	💣 2:20am Yvang: ↳ happymaan @2:19 Brooklyn?
	2:20am Maggie Hertz!: Welcome, Hubig!!
	2:20am Maggie Hertz!: And, yep! Brooklyn :-)
	2:24am ron-ji: The Hallwalls show was part film (pretty sure Lydia Lunch and/or Karen Finley was in it alongside other figures from that crowd) and part live (w Mark Boone Jr and possibly his frequent collaborator, a promising young East Village actor named Steve Buscemi, plus Richard Edson & others). Full disclosure: I didn’t love it, or the rehearsal process, but I remember Nechvatal’s animations were beautiful.
	2:26am happymaan: lol, I remember Realistic
	2:26am Roberto: ↳ Hubig Pie @2:20 Is your home office near the litter boxes like mine?
	2:28am ron-ji: Boy, I can really see (I mean hear) the line from tonight’s Nechvatal to GirlTalk.
	2:29am Maggie Hertz!: ↳ ron-ji @2:24 Conceptually that sounds dreamy!
	2:32am RdEye: dreamy...
	2:48am greenlight: That Jeffrey Melton is sooo coool.
	2:49am Maggie Hertz!: He's downright dreaaaamy!
	💣 2:54am Yvang: This is how my dreams should sound.
	2:56am happymaan: Great show Maggie, be well!
	2:57am coelacanth∅: Thanks Maggie!
	💣 2:58am Yvang: That was great! Thanks Maggie! See you on tuesday.
	2:58am Roberto: Have a cat balmy night!
	3:03am Maggie Hertz!: Thank y'all for tuning in!! See ya super soon!

Cat Bomb! Radio with Maggie Hertz!: Playlist from January 20, 2023

View Maggie Hertz!'s profile

A show that kinda feels like Casey Kasem cookin’ up crockpot shortwave pirate radio, but with a lot more curbside cassette mixtapes, lost radio serials, French Canadian comedy… and zings, pings, and static. Or, well, maybe it doesn’t feel anything like that at all.

	12:51am happymaan: ↳ Paulo AD @12:50 Yes, and she is LOVING it there, and they love her back. It's a great fit for her. She's very happy.
	12:52am RdEye: how come no bacon radio? prosciutto radio?
	💣 12:53am Paulo AD: ↳ happymaan @12:51 Very happy man :)
	12:54am RdEye: mega hertz of pork belly perhaps
	12:54am Maggie Hertz!: ↳ RdEye @12:52 'Cause SPAM Radio is where it's at!
	12:54am happymaan: ↳ Paulo AD @12:53 Hows all by you? I saw the DJ'ing and you saw the new radio she got me.
	12:55am RdEye: can it, wouldya
	12:55am spodiodi: aloha, Maggie and all
	12:55am Maggie Hertz!: ↳ spodiodi @12:55 Hiiiii!
	💣 12:55am Will thee Sound Guy: soo many times, I'd rather have it as a record... I've gotta try to get some rest,... I'll still be listening with my eyes closed. Thank you in advance for the rest of the show Maggie! Be well everyone!
	12:56am Maggie Hertz!: Thanks, Will!!!
	12:57am coelacanth∅: greetings spodi! 'night Will
	12:57am happymaan: ↳ Maggie Hertz! @12:50 Are you a fan of echolink? I think it's magical.
	12:58am coelacanth∅: for years it was miserable but they've finally made a decent vegan ham radio
	12:58am Maggie Hertz!: ↳ happymaan @12:57 I haven't gotten to use it yet!! I've heard such killer things about it
	12:59am happymaan: ↳ Maggie Hertz! @12:58 It's so great, I love being able to choose what repeater around the world to connect to. The hardest part about echolink is just getting your account setup/verified.
	1:00am RdEye: they don't grow that vegan ham on the ear of a mouse by any chance?
	1:01am coelacanth∅: you mean stem-cell ham radio?
	1:02am spodiodi: yo, coelacanthØ!
	1:04am RdEye: yummy. stem cell ham and eggs for breakfast in the morning
	1:05am happymaan: @Maggie I love the fact that since you're a ham you are so aware of all the rules they are breaking.
	1:07am Bobby: Feels good in here
	1:07am happymaan: The idea of legally broadcasting material that was illegal when first broadcasted is awesome.
	1:07am Maggie Hertz!: ↳ happymaan @12:59 That's def a February goal of mine!
	1:08am Maggie Hertz!: They are SO COOL! I'm sorry, I love the FCC and my by-the-book license... but, dang, it feels good to be bad sometimes ;-)
	1:08am TDK60: Ahoy.
	1:09am Maggie Hertz!: Heeeeey!
	1:09am RdEye: it's not what you broadcast it's the way that you broadcast it
	1:10am Maggie Hertz!: ↳ RdEye @1:09 DXactly!
	1:13am happymaan: This sounds like John Carpenter.
	1:20am coelacanth∅: (sounds like kraftwerk)
	1:20am Maggie Hertz!: Indeed!
	1:21am happymaan: @Maggie do you have a SDR radio setup?
	1:21am ian: Eargasm
	1:22am RdEye: some MAGA radio (make america groove again). we need a new beat
	1:23am Maggie Hertz!: ↳ happymaan @1:21 Not anymore! Just workin with my old Collins for now
	1:24am ?: I don’t know how WFMU knew I needed that in my life the show is perfect
	1:25am Maggie Hertz!: Well, shucks!! <3
	1:25am HyperDose: ↳ Song: "Radio Zero (Side B)" by "The Null Set" This is the best thing I could be listening to right meow
	1:25am ian: Does anyone know how long this life chat has been going on? I feel like I’ve been using it since around 2004, but my memory is hazy back then.
	1:26am ian: *live chat
	💣 1:27am Yvang: ↳ ian @1:25 I think it started around 2008, before there was just the live playlists.
	1:28am RdEye: I believe earliest live chat was inscribed in cave drawings of east orange, circa 2000 bc
	💣 1:29am Yvang: ↳ RdEye @1:28 That's before the crew started to dress vegan.
	1:30am TDK60: ↳ Yvang @1:27 Yvang, That sounds about right, '08.
	1:32am RdEye: hard to find a vintage vegan dress, that's true
	1:34am happymaan: ↳ Maggie Hertz! @1:23 I don't know Collins radio, I looked it up, those are vintage?
	💣 1:35am Yvang: ↳ TDK60 @1:30 After checking it's more mid-2007. The first time I posted a comment was on a Michael Goodstein show. 'Choking On Cufflinks'.
	1:36am Roberto: I recall having to email a DJ directly if one wanted to comment, circa 2004.
	1:37am Maggie Hertz!: ↳ happymaan @1:34 They are, yes! I've been slowly, but surely getting her back at her prime, but a really stellar radio! Unfortunately, my more modern stuff got flooded (a v long story).
	1:39am RdEye: ugghhh, a flood. i knew this show had biblical dimensions
	1:39am swivs: This is outstanding, btw. Thanks for this. 📻📡☢️🤌
	1:40am happymaan: Oh darn that sucks, I'm sorry...good luck getting her back on her feet. Keep an eye out for an estate sale from some SK's.
	1:41am Maggie Hertz!: ↳ RdEye @1:39 Called it from an ocean away!
	1:41am Maggie Hertz!: ↳ swivs @1:39 Heck yeah! Thanks for tunin' in!
	1:42am Maggie Hertz!: ↳ happymaan @1:40 Thanks!! Also, yeah, estate sales are a very good call!
	1:42am HyperDose: Mr. Swivs! 🙂🙃🙂😉
	1:43am RdEye: way more 'new testaments though...
	1:44am happymaan: ↳ Maggie Hertz! @1:42 Since I'm a member of my radio clubs I find out when that happens, I wouldn't know how to find them specifically for ham stuff any other way.
	1:44am happymaan: ↳ swivs @1:39 Hey man! How you doing?
	1:50am ian: Do you guys remember if they started the alternate stream during Jay M in the a.m. before the live chat?
	1:51am ian: I spent a lot of nights with Jay M in the a.m. as my go to sleep alarm call back when I was doing drugs, you know
	1:52am ian: But then they started putting alternate programming on web only so the party could keep going. Those were dark times.
	1:57am happymaan: @Maggie I'm so glad I came across your show tonight. I'll listen to one of your previous shows this Sunday while donating platelets, you will have my undivided attention.
	1:58am RdEye: all i know is it's 7 hours to JA in the AM, gotta get some sleep for ol John Allen's sake. thanks a metric ton Maggie, listening forward to next week
	1:59am ron-ji: I am only able to dip in & out of tonight’s show while working; absolutely plan to give it the closer attention it demands via the archives because pirate radio is a subject I have always wanted to explore deeper. BTW, does anyone know how long it takes for shows to get there? Because I say this to myself 2-3x a day and then forget to follow through.
	1:59am Maggie Hertz!: ↳ happymaan @1:57 Dawww! Stoked ya tuned in! Always a blast to chat radio with a fellow HAM lover! Plus, I don't like to toot my own horn, but I hear my shows are, like, top dog for platelet donation
	2:00am RdEye: this Nechvatal is too good to exit on
	2:01am Maggie Hertz!: ↳ ron-ji @1:59 Thank you so much for tuning in!! You're in good company! The show should be up in the archives around 9-10 am or so EST.
	2:02am ron-ji: Tonight’s audio collages are one of the things I love most about WFMU & the thing my husband hates most. Does anyone else out there have a mixed marriage of that kind?
	2:03am ron-ji: Thanks, Maggie! And thanks for such a deep dive into the subject.
	2:04am RdEye: @ron-ji...at this hour, they're too busy arguing to be able to answer you
	2:04am Maggie Hertz!: ↳ ron-ji @2:02 Haha! This is great! And you are very welcome!! Always stoked to recommend more airchecks and articles!
	2:05am greenlight: ↳ ron-ji @2:02 hahaha no ron-ji. actually my g/f is not in such a obscure stuff, but doesnt object when i listen to it. uhmm, I love that obscure stuff too!!! bith time.
	2:09am happymaan: ↳ Maggie Hertz! @1:59 There's dozens of us!
	2:10am HyperDose: ↳ happymaan @2:09 You're multiplying!
	2:10am ian: I want stated someone that was into the sound collages. They were bad news though. I shared love of sound collages is not enough to compensate for a basic lack of respect.
	2:10am Maggie Hertz!: Dozens might be an accurate count
	2:10am ian: *dated
	2:11am ian: I’m glad I lived the dream though, by all means, everyone find out for yourselves
	2:11am Maggie Hertz!: Been there, sailed that ship!
	2:12am happymaan: Can we get a photo of your Collins in the playlist @Maggie?
	2:12am Roberto: Hey Maggie, can I interest you in any tapes a 15/16-year-old cobbled together off his shortwave radio circa '81-'82?
	2:12am ian: I think you made a good choice marrying a Normie, someone has to bring home the bacon while we listen to sound collages till all hours
	2:12am happymaan: My wife and I are full in the WFMU cult, I'm surprised she hasn't shown up in this chat.
	2:13am happymaan: Oh, I'm gonna brag now. My wifes chili won first place at the chili cookoff we entered last week!
	2:13am Maggie Hertz!: ↳ Roberto @2:12 You have literally all of the interest I possess! Toss 'em over!! I'll send ya a Cat Bomb QSL as thanks! :-D
	💣 2:14am Yvang: Hell's Bells!(into the chaos)
	2:14am HyperDose: And you still find time to fish tires out of lakes haha
	2:14am Maggie Hertz!: ↳ happymaan @2:12 I'll snap a pic when I get back to BK!
	2:15am Aitch: Weird noises? I like it. Hello Maggie, please don't hertz me too much
	2:15am Roberto: ↳ Maggie Hertz! @2:13 Lolz I doubt I still have any of them, but I do have a box full of cassette crapola from the '80s I've been meaning to sort through.
	2:15am Maggie Hertz!: ↳ Aitch @2:15 I make no promises!
	2:18am ron-ji: I first became aware of Nechvatal as a visual artist (among other hats he has worn) in the East Village scene of the early 80s. He later collaborated with filmmaker Scott Billingslley (aka Scott B, ex partner of Beth B) on a multimedia performance at Hallwalls, the gallery/art center I worked at later that decade. http://www.hallwalls.org/performance/1470.html
	2:19am happymaan: ↳ Maggie Hertz! @2:14 What's BK?
	2:19am Roberto: ↳ Maggie Hertz! @2:13 One of my favorite moments: a French language DJ introducing James Brown's "Say It Loud."
	2:20am Hubig Pie: I just tuned in. I have no idea what be goin on. But I know all about cat bombs
	💣 2:20am Yvang: ↳ happymaan @2:19 Brooklyn?
	2:20am Maggie Hertz!: Welcome, Hubig!!
	2:20am Maggie Hertz!: And, yep! Brooklyn :-)
	2:24am ron-ji: The Hallwalls show was part film (pretty sure Lydia Lunch and/or Karen Finley was in it alongside other figures from that crowd) and part live (w Mark Boone Jr and possibly his frequent collaborator, a promising young East Village actor named Steve Buscemi, plus Richard Edson & others). Full disclosure: I didn’t love it, or the rehearsal process, but I remember Nechvatal’s animations were beautiful.
	2:26am happymaan: lol, I remember Realistic
	2:26am Roberto: ↳ Hubig Pie @2:20 Is your home office near the litter boxes like mine?
	2:28am ron-ji: Boy, I can really see (I mean hear) the line from tonight’s Nechvatal to GirlTalk.
	2:29am Maggie Hertz!: ↳ ron-ji @2:24 Conceptually that sounds dreamy!
	2:32am RdEye: dreamy...
	2:48am greenlight: That Jeffrey Melton is sooo coool.
	2:49am Maggie Hertz!: He's downright dreaaaamy!
	💣 2:54am Yvang: This is how my dreams should sound.
	2:56am happymaan: Great show Maggie, be well!
	2:57am coelacanth∅: Thanks Maggie!
	💣 2:58am Yvang: That was great! Thanks Maggie! See you on tuesday.
	2:58am Roberto: Have a cat balmy night!
	3:03am Maggie Hertz!: Thank y'all for tuning in!! See ya super soon!
