Listener comments!
	👻 5:40pm Austin Rich: Good Hello
	8:59pm Mr. X: How do you say hi to the disappeared?
	👻 9:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @8:59 Very carefully?
	9:00pm HyperDose: Oh my goodness 👻
	9:00pm Mr. X: Nice to hear the old theme song again.
	9:00pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Ahoy
	9:00pm Charles: ☺
	9:01pm Cp304: Heya Austin and peoples
	9:01pm Krys O.: Hello! This brings to mind the French series from 2012 Les Revenants. Mogwai did the soundtrack for that.
	9:02pm Pauly from Clifton: Hey Austin, folks!
	9:02pm Mr Fab: Ahoy, mutants!
	9:03pm coelacanth∅: aloha Rich and mutants
	9:03pm Krys O.: We had our first real snowfall today. Never had a winter without snow from December through February. Ever. It's melted, but will refreeze overnight. Gotta wear my cleats tomorrow.
	9:04pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: we're getting a lot of snow here, too.
	9:05pm Charles: My car vanished under the snow.
	9:06pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: well our falling snow seems o have stopped for now. but this being New England, w just have to blink and it will be back.
	9:06pm Aitch: Not time to Disappear
	9:07pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Disappearer" by "Sonic Youth" Goo a great record, I love Moat, the Lee Renaldo tracks are usually really good
	9:08pm ?: Obligatory Rochester weather report: no snow today but I did shovel what fell last night. We had a little ice storm last week, though!
	👻 9:08pm Austin Rich: Goo is beautiful, and that and Daydream Nation are my go-to albums for them.
	9:08pm Heather: ↳ @9:08 ? Is my new name this evening, I guess!
	9:09pm Krys O.: There's a strange thing that I've experienced over many decades of taking mass transit. You develop a camaraderie with a fellow bus passenger after seeing them day after day. It's sort of a secondary or tertiary relationship level without telephones or emails. Then something happens and you don't see them anymore. Occasionally someone will reappear and I have to fight the urge to say, "You're still alive!"
	👻 9:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:09 I think about that. "Is this the last time I will see this person?"
	9:10pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Heather @9:08 Like BOC standing on their heads.
	9:12pm postconsumer: record snowfall here, in Portland, OR. Very strange...
	👻 9:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @9:12 I was wondering if that was the case.
	9:13pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: that voice sounds like Peter Jones.
	👻 9:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:00 I do like that old theme song. But it's not always appropriate.
	9:13pm postconsumer: 7" in our backyard. Apparently the 2nd highest snowfall, here, ever. Anything there?
	👻 9:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @9:13 We got an inch or two this morning, that all melted away. And now it's all come back in the last 20 minutes.
	9:14pm postconsumer: I was going to drive up to Salem this past weekend, to buy a minidisc player, but the snow stopped me.
	9:15pm postconsumer: I was hoping to transcribe some old radio interviews. found one, since, online.
	👻 9:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @9:14 How funny! I think I have a minidisc player / recorder in storage still. I have a grip of discs leftover, from that era.
	9:15pm Krys O.: Here in Northern NJ we can sometimes see 12-18" of snow or more in a blizzard. This has been the most bizarre winter with ZERO accumulation until today and it was only about 2-4". About 8" fell in NW NJ.
	9:16pm postconsumer: I have close to a hundred, probably. It's how I recorded all my interviews, back in the day.
	👻 9:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:15 That's almost as unusual as us getting snow at all. We usually don't, and it's been odd to get two bursts of snow in one day.
	9:17pm postconsumer: Beyond the roadtrip getting canceled, I LOVE the snow. Really miss it, being "from" the midwest.
	👻 9:17pm Austin Rich: I'm a big fan of snow. But it is uncommon for us, for sure.
	9:17pm postconsumer: Are you mixing live, Austin?
	9:18pm postconsumer: digging it
	9:18pm Krys O.: Was just reading that NJ averages 40-50 inches of snow each year.
	👻 9:18pm Austin Rich: (Or, at least, in Salem. We got it more in PDX.) I did this mix live. But I'm playing it back tonight. It's originally from 2018.
	9:18pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ postconsumer @9:18 is that in the literal or hip definition?
	9:20pm postconsumer: hip, I think? 😄
	9:21pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ postconsumer @9:20 I thought so. but with the recent weather you can never be sure.
	9:22pm ramencity: ohi its tuesday
	👻 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:22 Yay! You made it!
	9:22pm postconsumer: ah! yes, I've been doing a LOT of digging these past few days.
	9:24pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: on a weirder note,I just acquired an audiobook of stories featuring Sherlock Holmes and Cthulhu.
	👻 9:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:24 That sounds delightful! I should check that out.
	9:25pm postconsumer: My boy's been asking me to read him some H.P. Lovecraft. Any recs?
	9:27pm postconsumer: I don't know much about the author. I was into Arthur C. Clarke and Asimov, at his age.
	👻 9:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @9:25 "At the Mountains of Madness" is probably the best novella, in my mind. A short story collection might serve you pretty good, as most of what Lovecraft wrote was short.
	9:28pm Krys O.: I have a great audiobook of Mark Gatiss reading his novel The Vesuvius Club. en.wikipedia.org...
	9:28pm postconsumer: thanks!
	9:29pm postconsumer: I'll check those out
	9:33pm Krys O.: Jeremy Dyson, a cohort of Mark Gatiss in the League of Gentlmen, has a collection of short stories called Never Trust a Rabbit. Dyson also coauthored a book called Bright Darkness about supernatural horror films like Dead of Night. www.alibris.com...
	9:36pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ postconsumer @9:29 If you have Audible they have the complete works of Lovecraft for one credit.
	9:36pm postconsumer: sci-fi, Krys O? I'll look into it, thanks!
	👻 9:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:36 I'll second that, if only because Lovecraft works very well when someone reads it out loud.
	9:37pm postconsumer: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:36 sounds good - give my voice a rest! :)
	9:38pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ postconsumer @9:37 it's 51 hours long
	9:38pm Krys O.: ↳ postconsumer @9:36 Not typical science fiction. More like Cornell Woolrich style.
	9:39pm postconsumer: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:38 😮
	9:40pm Krys O.: I'm a fan of H.G. Wells, in particular, When The Sleeper Wakes.
	9:40pm postconsumer: ↳ Krys O. @9:38 I'll look into it, thanks!
	9:40pm Mr. X: There used to be a Lovecraft oriented film festival in Portland. I caught one of those, even though I had never read a Lovecraft story before. There were a bunch of local amateur entries, which I can't remember. Also there was a Lovecraft themed band which played at Berbatti's Pan later that night. I think they were from Canada. They were good.
	👻 9:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:40 Wells rules!
	9:41pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Krys O. @9:40 and with strange aeons even death may die.
	👻 9:42pm Austin Rich: My boss edits a "Lovecraft Zine" of poetry, art and fiction, submitted by artists and writers. It's very good, and well worth tracking down, if you like weird fiction. theaudientvoid.bigcartel.com
	9:43pm postconsumer: thanks for all the recs!
	9:43pm Krys O.: Good night, all! I shall return. Thanks, Austin.
	9:43pm postconsumer: gotta go start dinner - keeping my headphones on, but stepping away from the computer. have fun, Austin!
	👻 9:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:43 Sleep well, Krys O!
	👻 9:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @9:43 Enjoy the meal, postconsumer!
	9:46pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I'm triple-tasking. Listening, chatting, and working on my current fanfic.
	👻 9:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:46 We're all usually doing a few things at once, aren't we?
	9:48pm Cp304: Yes, dishes, cleaning pizza toppings from bottom of oven, refilling glass.. what are you doing..what are you doing, what are you doing..
	9:48pm Mr. X: ↳ Mr. X @9:40 The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets was the name of the band, if I recall correctly.
	👻 9:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:48 Oh! They are fun, if I recall correctly. It's been a while, but they were pretty cool, when I heard them years ago.
	9:50pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:47 true. especially if you count the fact that we're also spinning in a slow circle while rotating around a ball of burning gas which is spiraling around a large galaxy.
	9:51pm Mr. X: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:50 Somebody's gotta do it.
	9:55pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:49 I wonder if we were at the same show?
	👻 9:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:55 I never saw them live, just on a CD a friend had. But it was fun! Sort of heavy rock music, about Cthulu and stuff?
	9:58pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:55 Sounds about right. A lot of the Lovecraft bands are doom metal or death metal, but these guys were merely heavy rock, with more of an emphasis on fun than gloom.
	👻 9:59pm Austin Rich: I got the timing on that last track off. I pulled the trigger a little early... but I think you can tell where this song started.
	10:06pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Mr. X @9:51 Tonight's been great so far.
	10:06pm Aitch: Gotta work while I lurk, but ears are on
	10:11pm coelacanth∅: i wouldn't mind getting an email from you but i probably will get around to reading them only about once/month -unless they're very short... and i probably will never email back
	10:11pm Mr. X: Shouldn't the fingerprints of an invisible person be invisible?
	👻 10:12pm Austin Rich: This was recorded a few years ago, using: Bass Guitar MicroGranny Sampler 2 CDJ's Manipulating Samples And a Delay Pedal. Along with cut up samples, as cited above.
	👻 10:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:11 Send me a message, with your address. I'll add you to the list!
	10:13pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Mr. X @10:11 i think there would be no whorls and swirls, but there might be sweat and other chemicals.
	👻 10:15pm Austin Rich: I think fingerprints are made from the pressure of the finger on the surface, that smears / leaves behind oils, making the print visible. So: are the oils your fingers produce invisible?
	10:15pm coelacanth∅: invisible or with no body?... i'd expect an invisible body to leave fingerprints. it has fingerprints, they're just invisible
	10:16pm Mr. X: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:15 I guess you're all correct. An invisible person would leave foot prints in the snow.
	10:16pm coelacanth∅: or, it has the fingerprint pattern, but it's invisible... so it would still leave a print
	10:17pm Mr. X: So what we really need is invisibility, plus fingerprint and footprint remover.
	10:18pm Mr. X: And it would also have to make your breath invisible in the cold.
	10:20pm Cp304: Is that verb from the pioneer or the door pedal? Nice
	10:21pm Heather: ↳ Mr. X @10:18 And you'd have to be really quiet! No growling and yelling things around the house like I tend to do!
	👻 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Cp304 @10:20 From the pedal. Boss DD7.
	10:21pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:12 Do you still have 2 CDJ's? I seem to remember one of them broke.
	10:22pm Mr. X: ↳ Heather @10:21 LOL
	👻 10:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:21 One broke, and I replaced it. But the broken one might be something I could get fixed, by my circuit bending friend... and possibly bent into something fun to play with.
	10:22pm Mr Fab: I have been listening as I checked the fundraising progress for the first time this year, And much to my surprise and delight, we've got some nice donations coming in, even before we really lay into it with the Marathon. Well done, folks, keep 'em coming!
	10:23pm Cp304: March is my chime in time Fab.. lord willing
	10:24pm Mr. X: ↳ Heather @10:21 It keeps your cat entertained, I'm sure.
	10:24pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: of course the real problem with being invisible is that if a car doesn't see you crossing the street,then it could hit you and you wouldn't be able to get rescued because you would be invisible and lying in the street.
	10:25pm Cp304: IBD, insurance don't see it that way these days
	10:26pm Heather: ↳ Mr. X @10:24 He's deaf from birth but we still have great conversations! He says MOWWW and I yell WOWWW! And then the neighbors call the cops.
	10:26pm HyperDose: ↳ Song: "VANISHED!" by "Mini-Mutations" These mini-mutations are always my favorite
	10:27pm coelacanth∅: couldn't an invisible person go into the hospital and steal the fingerprint file?
	10:28pm Mr. X: ↳ Heather @10:26 Ah, so you keep the neighbors entertained as well. Good work!
	10:28pm coelacanth∅: ... i know i might be missing something, as i wasn't listening very closely in the beginning
	10:29pm Heather: ↳ Mr. X @10:28 They love it when I play ukulele late at night in the summertime! Poor dears.
	10:30pm drowsy: better late than never. ready for the echo-drone I'm hearing!
	10:30pm Heather: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:28 What I missed is do his clothes also turn invisible? I keep thinking how cold it would be...
	10:31pm Mr. X: ↳ Heather @10:29 We need to put one of your ukulele serenades on Austin's show.
	10:31pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Mr. X @10:31 i second that idea.
	10:31pm ramencity: ↳ Heather @10:30 Heather's mind works like mine...
	10:31pm Heather: ↳ Mr. X @10:31 No one wants that. It's actively unwanted. There's a petition on change dot org, even.
	👻 10:32pm Austin Rich: I have some Uke Jams by Heather here in the lounge.
	10:32pm coelacanth∅: Heather yes i've been thinking about that - and also if he doesn't know if or when the invisibility will cease... and he's naked!
	10:33pm Heather: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:32 Yes! And.... he's just running around naked?? That's an added level of ick... and Imagino's though about getting hit by a car just got even worse, too!
	10:34pm coelacanth∅: - or attacked by a dog, naked!
	👻 10:34pm Austin Rich: What's worse: the nudity you can see, or the nudity you CAN'T see?
	10:35pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Did you ever see Memoirs of an Invisible Man with Chevy Chase?
	👻 10:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:35 I never did. Was it a comedy?
	10:36pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:35 Yes.
	👻 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:36 Maybe I should?
	10:36pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:34 Right?! I mean, at least if I know there's a naked person hanging out in the diamond store, I can choose my own adventure. But if they're invisible and naked? That's not cool!
	10:36pm Mr Fab: the invisible man movie with Elizabeth Moss from a couple years ago was quite good.
	10:37pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: The cat wants me to come to bed. She's looking up at me while I'm siting at the computer.
	10:38pm Heather: ↳ Mr Fab @10:36 How did they handle the clothes issue? It's all I can think about now.
	👻 10:38pm Austin Rich: Cats are so demanding.
	10:38pm Heather: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:37 Best heed the call or there will be consequences! Good night!
	10:39pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: they are, indeed.
	10:39pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Heather @10:38 good night!
	10:40pm Mr Fab: ↳ Heather @10:38 he gets invisible by wearing a special bodysuit that reflects light. No naked-nicity.
	10:42pm Mr. X: ↳ Mr Fab @10:40 Ah, so it would have gloves, and leave no fingerprints!
	10:44pm Heather: ↳ Mr Fab @10:40 Thank goodness. So much warmer!
	👻 10:45pm Austin Rich: Nudity and Being Too Cold: The Two Top Concerns of the chatroom tonight.
	10:45pm Heather: ↳ Mr. X @10:42 Must be one of those morph suit dealios that covers everything.
	10:46pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:45 I feel like that's at least partially my fault and I'm sorry!
	10:47pm Mr Fab: Yeah, it's kind of comment on today's tech bros, I think. He's this insanely rich tech CEO who uses his invention to vindictively get back at his ex.
	👻 10:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:47 Like all good sci-fi: it's sights squarely focused on "now."
	10:53pm Mr. X: I guess an invisible person would be an ideal puppeteer.
	👻 10:55pm Austin Rich: As I mentioned earlier, this show will go over a tad. Thanks for stickin' around!
	10:55pm Mr. X: They're only just now figuring out he's invisible?
	10:56pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:55 Yay!
	10:56pm Cp304: So that's why they. Couldn't see him..
	10:57pm Mr. X: It's all "clear" now!
	10:57pm Cp304: Hahaha MrX
	11:00pm drowsy: ↳ Mr. X @10:57 nice
	11:04pm Cp304: Now I'll dream to freebird @1/4 speed
	11:04pm Heather: Good night all! Thanks for a fun chat and thanks for another awesome show, Austin!.
	11:05pm Mr Fab: ↳ Heather @11:04 Wot she said!
	11:06pm Cp304: Good sturr rich
	11:06pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Rich! 'night y'all
	11:07pm drowsy: this was as panic inducing as any old timey show. Awesome job.
	11:11pm Cp304: Nuiice
	6:38am Arvo: Looks like a nice line up! I did enjoy the Chevy Chase movie as well as Abbot & Costello. Listening now after the fact. Late to the party as always!

Mid-Valley Mutations with Austin Rich: Playlist from February 28, 2023

View austinrich's profile

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

	👻 5:40pm Austin Rich: Good Hello
	8:59pm Mr. X: How do you say hi to the disappeared?
	👻 9:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @8:59 Very carefully?
	9:00pm HyperDose: Oh my goodness 👻
	9:00pm Mr. X: Nice to hear the old theme song again.
	9:00pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Ahoy
	9:00pm Charles: ☺
	9:01pm Cp304: Heya Austin and peoples
	9:01pm Krys O.: Hello! This brings to mind the French series from 2012 Les Revenants. Mogwai did the soundtrack for that.
	9:02pm Pauly from Clifton: Hey Austin, folks!
	9:02pm Mr Fab: Ahoy, mutants!
	9:03pm coelacanth∅: aloha Rich and mutants
	9:03pm Krys O.: We had our first real snowfall today. Never had a winter without snow from December through February. Ever. It's melted, but will refreeze overnight. Gotta wear my cleats tomorrow.
	9:04pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: we're getting a lot of snow here, too.
	9:05pm Charles: My car vanished under the snow.
	9:06pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: well our falling snow seems o have stopped for now. but this being New England, w just have to blink and it will be back.
	9:06pm Aitch: Not time to Disappear
	9:07pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Disappearer" by "Sonic Youth" Goo a great record, I love Moat, the Lee Renaldo tracks are usually really good
	9:08pm ?: Obligatory Rochester weather report: no snow today but I did shovel what fell last night. We had a little ice storm last week, though!
	👻 9:08pm Austin Rich: Goo is beautiful, and that and Daydream Nation are my go-to albums for them.
	9:08pm Heather: ↳ @9:08 ? Is my new name this evening, I guess!
	9:09pm Krys O.: There's a strange thing that I've experienced over many decades of taking mass transit. You develop a camaraderie with a fellow bus passenger after seeing them day after day. It's sort of a secondary or tertiary relationship level without telephones or emails. Then something happens and you don't see them anymore. Occasionally someone will reappear and I have to fight the urge to say, "You're still alive!"
	👻 9:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:09 I think about that. "Is this the last time I will see this person?"
	9:10pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Heather @9:08 Like BOC standing on their heads.
	9:12pm postconsumer: record snowfall here, in Portland, OR. Very strange...
	👻 9:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @9:12 I was wondering if that was the case.
	9:13pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: that voice sounds like Peter Jones.
	👻 9:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:00 I do like that old theme song. But it's not always appropriate.
	9:13pm postconsumer: 7" in our backyard. Apparently the 2nd highest snowfall, here, ever. Anything there?
	👻 9:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @9:13 We got an inch or two this morning, that all melted away. And now it's all come back in the last 20 minutes.
	9:14pm postconsumer: I was going to drive up to Salem this past weekend, to buy a minidisc player, but the snow stopped me.
	9:15pm postconsumer: I was hoping to transcribe some old radio interviews. found one, since, online.
	👻 9:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @9:14 How funny! I think I have a minidisc player / recorder in storage still. I have a grip of discs leftover, from that era.
	9:15pm Krys O.: Here in Northern NJ we can sometimes see 12-18" of snow or more in a blizzard. This has been the most bizarre winter with ZERO accumulation until today and it was only about 2-4". About 8" fell in NW NJ.
	9:16pm postconsumer: I have close to a hundred, probably. It's how I recorded all my interviews, back in the day.
	👻 9:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:15 That's almost as unusual as us getting snow at all. We usually don't, and it's been odd to get two bursts of snow in one day.
	9:17pm postconsumer: Beyond the roadtrip getting canceled, I LOVE the snow. Really miss it, being "from" the midwest.
	👻 9:17pm Austin Rich: I'm a big fan of snow. But it is uncommon for us, for sure.
	9:17pm postconsumer: Are you mixing live, Austin?
	9:18pm postconsumer: digging it
	9:18pm Krys O.: Was just reading that NJ averages 40-50 inches of snow each year.
	👻 9:18pm Austin Rich: (Or, at least, in Salem. We got it more in PDX.) I did this mix live. But I'm playing it back tonight. It's originally from 2018.
	9:18pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ postconsumer @9:18 is that in the literal or hip definition?
	9:20pm postconsumer: hip, I think? 😄
	9:21pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ postconsumer @9:20 I thought so. but with the recent weather you can never be sure.
	9:22pm ramencity: ohi its tuesday
	👻 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:22 Yay! You made it!
	9:22pm postconsumer: ah! yes, I've been doing a LOT of digging these past few days.
	9:24pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: on a weirder note,I just acquired an audiobook of stories featuring Sherlock Holmes and Cthulhu.
	👻 9:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:24 That sounds delightful! I should check that out.
	9:25pm postconsumer: My boy's been asking me to read him some H.P. Lovecraft. Any recs?
	9:27pm postconsumer: I don't know much about the author. I was into Arthur C. Clarke and Asimov, at his age.
	👻 9:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @9:25 "At the Mountains of Madness" is probably the best novella, in my mind. A short story collection might serve you pretty good, as most of what Lovecraft wrote was short.
	9:28pm Krys O.: I have a great audiobook of Mark Gatiss reading his novel The Vesuvius Club. en.wikipedia.org...
	9:28pm postconsumer: thanks!
	9:29pm postconsumer: I'll check those out
	9:33pm Krys O.: Jeremy Dyson, a cohort of Mark Gatiss in the League of Gentlmen, has a collection of short stories called Never Trust a Rabbit. Dyson also coauthored a book called Bright Darkness about supernatural horror films like Dead of Night. www.alibris.com...
	9:36pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ postconsumer @9:29 If you have Audible they have the complete works of Lovecraft for one credit.
	9:36pm postconsumer: sci-fi, Krys O? I'll look into it, thanks!
	👻 9:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:36 I'll second that, if only because Lovecraft works very well when someone reads it out loud.
	9:37pm postconsumer: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:36 sounds good - give my voice a rest! :)
	9:38pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ postconsumer @9:37 it's 51 hours long
	9:38pm Krys O.: ↳ postconsumer @9:36 Not typical science fiction. More like Cornell Woolrich style.
	9:39pm postconsumer: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:38 😮
	9:40pm Krys O.: I'm a fan of H.G. Wells, in particular, When The Sleeper Wakes.
	9:40pm postconsumer: ↳ Krys O. @9:38 I'll look into it, thanks!
	9:40pm Mr. X: There used to be a Lovecraft oriented film festival in Portland. I caught one of those, even though I had never read a Lovecraft story before. There were a bunch of local amateur entries, which I can't remember. Also there was a Lovecraft themed band which played at Berbatti's Pan later that night. I think they were from Canada. They were good.
	👻 9:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:40 Wells rules!
	9:41pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Krys O. @9:40 and with strange aeons even death may die.
	👻 9:42pm Austin Rich: My boss edits a "Lovecraft Zine" of poetry, art and fiction, submitted by artists and writers. It's very good, and well worth tracking down, if you like weird fiction. theaudientvoid.bigcartel.com
	9:43pm postconsumer: thanks for all the recs!
	9:43pm Krys O.: Good night, all! I shall return. Thanks, Austin.
	9:43pm postconsumer: gotta go start dinner - keeping my headphones on, but stepping away from the computer. have fun, Austin!
	👻 9:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:43 Sleep well, Krys O!
	👻 9:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @9:43 Enjoy the meal, postconsumer!
	9:46pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I'm triple-tasking. Listening, chatting, and working on my current fanfic.
	👻 9:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:46 We're all usually doing a few things at once, aren't we?
	9:48pm Cp304: Yes, dishes, cleaning pizza toppings from bottom of oven, refilling glass.. what are you doing..what are you doing, what are you doing..
	9:48pm Mr. X: ↳ Mr. X @9:40 The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets was the name of the band, if I recall correctly.
	👻 9:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:48 Oh! They are fun, if I recall correctly. It's been a while, but they were pretty cool, when I heard them years ago.
	9:50pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:47 true. especially if you count the fact that we're also spinning in a slow circle while rotating around a ball of burning gas which is spiraling around a large galaxy.
	9:51pm Mr. X: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:50 Somebody's gotta do it.
	9:55pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:49 I wonder if we were at the same show?
	👻 9:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:55 I never saw them live, just on a CD a friend had. But it was fun! Sort of heavy rock music, about Cthulu and stuff?
	9:58pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:55 Sounds about right. A lot of the Lovecraft bands are doom metal or death metal, but these guys were merely heavy rock, with more of an emphasis on fun than gloom.
	👻 9:59pm Austin Rich: I got the timing on that last track off. I pulled the trigger a little early... but I think you can tell where this song started.
	10:06pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Mr. X @9:51 Tonight's been great so far.
	10:06pm Aitch: Gotta work while I lurk, but ears are on
	10:11pm coelacanth∅: i wouldn't mind getting an email from you but i probably will get around to reading them only about once/month -unless they're very short... and i probably will never email back
	10:11pm Mr. X: Shouldn't the fingerprints of an invisible person be invisible?
	👻 10:12pm Austin Rich: This was recorded a few years ago, using: Bass Guitar MicroGranny Sampler 2 CDJ's Manipulating Samples And a Delay Pedal. Along with cut up samples, as cited above.
	👻 10:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:11 Send me a message, with your address. I'll add you to the list!
	10:13pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Mr. X @10:11 i think there would be no whorls and swirls, but there might be sweat and other chemicals.
	👻 10:15pm Austin Rich: I think fingerprints are made from the pressure of the finger on the surface, that smears / leaves behind oils, making the print visible. So: are the oils your fingers produce invisible?
	10:15pm coelacanth∅: invisible or with no body?... i'd expect an invisible body to leave fingerprints. it has fingerprints, they're just invisible
	10:16pm Mr. X: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:15 I guess you're all correct. An invisible person would leave foot prints in the snow.
	10:16pm coelacanth∅: or, it has the fingerprint pattern, but it's invisible... so it would still leave a print
	10:17pm Mr. X: So what we really need is invisibility, plus fingerprint and footprint remover.
	10:18pm Mr. X: And it would also have to make your breath invisible in the cold.
	10:20pm Cp304: Is that verb from the pioneer or the door pedal? Nice
	10:21pm Heather: ↳ Mr. X @10:18 And you'd have to be really quiet! No growling and yelling things around the house like I tend to do!
	👻 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Cp304 @10:20 From the pedal. Boss DD7.
	10:21pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:12 Do you still have 2 CDJ's? I seem to remember one of them broke.
	10:22pm Mr. X: ↳ Heather @10:21 LOL
	👻 10:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:21 One broke, and I replaced it. But the broken one might be something I could get fixed, by my circuit bending friend... and possibly bent into something fun to play with.
	10:22pm Mr Fab: I have been listening as I checked the fundraising progress for the first time this year, And much to my surprise and delight, we've got some nice donations coming in, even before we really lay into it with the Marathon. Well done, folks, keep 'em coming!
	10:23pm Cp304: March is my chime in time Fab.. lord willing
	10:24pm Mr. X: ↳ Heather @10:21 It keeps your cat entertained, I'm sure.
	10:24pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: of course the real problem with being invisible is that if a car doesn't see you crossing the street,then it could hit you and you wouldn't be able to get rescued because you would be invisible and lying in the street.
	10:25pm Cp304: IBD, insurance don't see it that way these days
	10:26pm Heather: ↳ Mr. X @10:24 He's deaf from birth but we still have great conversations! He says MOWWW and I yell WOWWW! And then the neighbors call the cops.
	10:26pm HyperDose: ↳ Song: "VANISHED!" by "Mini-Mutations" These mini-mutations are always my favorite
	10:27pm coelacanth∅: couldn't an invisible person go into the hospital and steal the fingerprint file?
	10:28pm Mr. X: ↳ Heather @10:26 Ah, so you keep the neighbors entertained as well. Good work!
	10:28pm coelacanth∅: ... i know i might be missing something, as i wasn't listening very closely in the beginning
	10:29pm Heather: ↳ Mr. X @10:28 They love it when I play ukulele late at night in the summertime! Poor dears.
	10:30pm drowsy: better late than never. ready for the echo-drone I'm hearing!
	10:30pm Heather: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:28 What I missed is do his clothes also turn invisible? I keep thinking how cold it would be...
	10:31pm Mr. X: ↳ Heather @10:29 We need to put one of your ukulele serenades on Austin's show.
	10:31pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Mr. X @10:31 i second that idea.
	10:31pm ramencity: ↳ Heather @10:30 Heather's mind works like mine...
	10:31pm Heather: ↳ Mr. X @10:31 No one wants that. It's actively unwanted. There's a petition on change dot org, even.
	👻 10:32pm Austin Rich: I have some Uke Jams by Heather here in the lounge.
	10:32pm coelacanth∅: Heather yes i've been thinking about that - and also if he doesn't know if or when the invisibility will cease... and he's naked!
	10:33pm Heather: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:32 Yes! And.... he's just running around naked?? That's an added level of ick... and Imagino's though about getting hit by a car just got even worse, too!
	10:34pm coelacanth∅: - or attacked by a dog, naked!
	👻 10:34pm Austin Rich: What's worse: the nudity you can see, or the nudity you CAN'T see?
	10:35pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Did you ever see Memoirs of an Invisible Man with Chevy Chase?
	👻 10:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:35 I never did. Was it a comedy?
	10:36pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:35 Yes.
	👻 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:36 Maybe I should?
	10:36pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:34 Right?! I mean, at least if I know there's a naked person hanging out in the diamond store, I can choose my own adventure. But if they're invisible and naked? That's not cool!
	10:36pm Mr Fab: the invisible man movie with Elizabeth Moss from a couple years ago was quite good.
	10:37pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: The cat wants me to come to bed. She's looking up at me while I'm siting at the computer.
	10:38pm Heather: ↳ Mr Fab @10:36 How did they handle the clothes issue? It's all I can think about now.
	👻 10:38pm Austin Rich: Cats are so demanding.
	10:38pm Heather: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:37 Best heed the call or there will be consequences! Good night!
	10:39pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: they are, indeed.
	10:39pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Heather @10:38 good night!
	10:40pm Mr Fab: ↳ Heather @10:38 he gets invisible by wearing a special bodysuit that reflects light. No naked-nicity.
	10:42pm Mr. X: ↳ Mr Fab @10:40 Ah, so it would have gloves, and leave no fingerprints!
	10:44pm Heather: ↳ Mr Fab @10:40 Thank goodness. So much warmer!
	👻 10:45pm Austin Rich: Nudity and Being Too Cold: The Two Top Concerns of the chatroom tonight.
	10:45pm Heather: ↳ Mr. X @10:42 Must be one of those morph suit dealios that covers everything.
	10:46pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:45 I feel like that's at least partially my fault and I'm sorry!
	10:47pm Mr Fab: Yeah, it's kind of comment on today's tech bros, I think. He's this insanely rich tech CEO who uses his invention to vindictively get back at his ex.
	👻 10:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:47 Like all good sci-fi: it's sights squarely focused on "now."
	10:53pm Mr. X: I guess an invisible person would be an ideal puppeteer.
	👻 10:55pm Austin Rich: As I mentioned earlier, this show will go over a tad. Thanks for stickin' around!
	10:55pm Mr. X: They're only just now figuring out he's invisible?
	10:56pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:55 Yay!
	10:56pm Cp304: So that's why they. Couldn't see him..
	10:57pm Mr. X: It's all "clear" now!
	10:57pm Cp304: Hahaha MrX
	11:00pm drowsy: ↳ Mr. X @10:57 nice
	11:04pm Cp304: Now I'll dream to freebird @1/4 speed
	11:04pm Heather: Good night all! Thanks for a fun chat and thanks for another awesome show, Austin!.
	11:05pm Mr Fab: ↳ Heather @11:04 Wot she said!
	11:06pm Cp304: Good sturr rich
	11:06pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Rich! 'night y'all
	11:07pm drowsy: this was as panic inducing as any old timey show. Awesome job.
	11:11pm Cp304: Nuiice
	6:38am Arvo: Looks like a nice line up! I did enjoy the Chevy Chase movie as well as Abbot & Costello. Listening now after the fact. Late to the party as always!
