Listener comments!
	👻 5:51pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	8:53pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Ahoy.
	👻 9:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @8:53 Sit and stay a spell! Thanks for joining us.
	9:01pm Krys O.: Hello! I saw John Dehner yesterday on TCM. They were showing Cheyenne Social Club.
	9:02pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Now I am getting tempted to make my newest fic a crossover with the Frontier Gentleman. Would be a challenge, but space western seem popular these days.
	9:04pm Krys O.: I think you can watch TCM on Hulu Plus.
	9:04pm Geoff-U: Good evenin'
	9:06pm Geoff-U: I will be there! Bringing some friends too I think
	9:07pm Geoff-U: I think we'll bring some sort of picnic stuff
	9:08pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Cupid aims like the Savannah Bananas.
	👻 9:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @9:07 It's right around dinner, so that is wise. I think I'll bring a sandwich, too.
	👻 9:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:08 Someone needs to teach him better aim. Or not to meddle!
	👻 9:11pm Austin Rich: The way The Frontier Gentleman says he is NOT married seems like another clue to his "Confirmed Bachelor" status, as they used to say.
	9:12pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "All Come To Meet Her" by "Alexander Spence" I LOVE THIS ALBUM!!!
	👻 9:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:12 This album... I mean... it's essential. I was late to the game... but damn!
	9:13pm coelacanth∅: hi again Austin, Rich, Austin Rich and sundry mutants
	👻 9:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:13 "The Sundry Mutants" is what we call ourselves when we're feeling a little emo.
	9:14pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:13 Ahoy! Greetings from this Oyster Girl.
	👻 9:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:12 I would certainly love to know what Krys calls "essential" albums. Perhaps that is what your show is?
	9:17pm coelacanth∅: Aloha Oystergirl ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova!
	9:17pm Arvo: I love that hit song from that Skip Spence album. Just missed it. Little hands... All over the world? Something like that. Hello. Listening as I make salad briefly. Howdy.
	👻 9:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:17 Arvo! Thanks for joining us. Arvo will be doing another DJ set on the program, next month!
	9:18pm Geoff-U: sweet!
	👻 9:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "In Memphis: The Monarch Saloon & Billy Frenchy" b... I am a big Jelly Roll Morton fan, and this release has a lot of stories like this on it, which are all DELIGHTFUL.
	9:20pm Arvo: Darn tootin!
	9:22pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Wonder how J.B Kendall would react to Desdinova and Phoebe moving back to his time period when their scout ship crashes just outside of town and Merak is fatally wounded.
	👻 9:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:22 Hmmmmm. The Frontier Gentleman seems pretty easy going, so long as you aren't a threat. So he'd probably be pretty helpful, if he could be.
	👻 9:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:22 He does seem to know a little medicine, so he'd probably jump right in with that kind of assistance.
	9:26pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:23 True. He might try to help, but I don't know how much alien medicine he would know.
	👻 9:27pm Austin Rich: I recall, in the early 90's, I got a Johnny Cash tape, and would listen to it a lot, to the annoyance of my friends at the time. It wasn't long before EVERYONE I knew was hooked, and I'd like to think I was the genesis of that particular virus in my social group.
	9:30pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Romance is cheap. If its love you're looking for, get a cat.
	👻 9:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:30 Some of those romance novels we sell at the bookstore aren't cheap. But people seem to be VERY interested in them.
	9:32pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @9:27 Howdy, buckaroos! I was lucky enough to be raised in a Cash-loving household. Lots of his records around the house, and mom would watch his variety shows, which were also great. He would feature a young comic named Steve Martin who I thought was hilarious (hmm, whatever happened to him?)
	9:32pm Arvo: Johnny Cash also became viral for me in high school, thanks to some friends of the goth persuasion pulling their irony card....
	9:33pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @9:32 There’s an all romance bookstore in LA.
	👻 9:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:32 Mr. Fab! Hooray! My parents didn't like country music, so I was on my own in that department. But I found my way pretty quickly.
	👻 9:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:32 Cash can get pretty goth, with some of those death ballads.
	👻 9:34pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @9:32 Amazingly, in this snarky town, all the Cash Goths were entirely unironic in their love of The Man in Black.
	9:35pm Mr Fab: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:30 Bestiality? Noooo, thank you!
	9:35pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Mr Fab @9:33 In books romance is better than in life. I read quite a bit of yaoi .
	👻 9:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:34 Thanks for joining us, Heather! Sit down a spell, have a drink and enjoy the stories!
	9:35pm Mr Fab: What, are Cash Goths really a thing?!
	9:35pm Arvo: It's just another one of those things, I was too young to see Johnny Cash while he was alive. I did however, visit my grandfather as he was a day shift bartender who let me play whatever I wanted on the juke box. My grandma's favorite song on the juke box was "All My Exes Live In Texas".
	👻 9:36pm Heather Z: ↳ Mr Fab @9:35 I might have just coined the term but I super duper doubt it! Will google now.
	👻 9:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:35 I tried to see him, and missed out on tickets. He passed not much after that.
	👻 9:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:36 I would believe it.
	9:37pm Arvo: Austin and Heather should do love line type episodes but with cowboy accents.
	👻 9:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:37 That's not a bad idea! I was thinking about taking calls again soon... maybe for Halloween?
	👻 9:38pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @9:37 Why I think that's a mighty fine idea. Thank ya kindly, Arvo, for the suggestion.
	9:39pm Krys O.: Been listening while getting ready to hit the hay. G'night, all!
	👻 9:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:39 Sleep well, Krys O! See ya round the homestead...
	9:39pm Arvo: ↳ Krys O. @9:39 Gnight!
	👻 9:41pm Heather Z: ↳ Krys O. @9:39 Sleep well!
	9:41pm Arvo: ↳ Song: "Loser's Revenge" by "The Wipers" I need to give The Wipers another chance. Whatever I first heard by them was not worth a second listen to me at the time, but that's just the way it goes sometimes.
	9:42pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: If I do the new story as a crossover, should I do it from Kendall's pov or third person?
	9:42pm Arvo: Excitable boy they all said ...
	👻 9:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Loser's Revenge" by "The Wipers" I've probably mentioned it before, but I'm a bit of a Wipers nerd. I recall waiting anxiously, as I had heard that "The Power In One" was coming out. I pre-ordered a CD and LP, since he was self-releasing, and I wanted to support him. It's not the BEST Wipers album, but it was pretty great to be in on a new record, as it was coming out.
	9:43pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Arvo @9:42 My second favorite song on that album
	👻 9:44pm Heather Z: Google isn't giving me anything on an actual term Cash Goths but I asked another goth friend if that seems a legit term so we may get a sample size of two (me and my friend) weighing in.
	9:44pm Arvo: I started talking like a cowboy to the lady at the post office the other day, I blame the mutations.
	👻 9:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:41 They are not for everyone, and I've had to come to terms with the fact that I love them more than the average bear. But they are notable, as Greg Sage was an early queer punk artist, and his albums have a dimension to them that is both more and less punk that his contemporaries. I recommend "Over The Edge" and "Youth of America" as good places to investigate.
	👻 9:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:44 I'll take the blame, certainly.
	9:46pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @9:45 Thanks, I will investigate
	👻 9:47pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:45 Only along the lines of saying things that are ???, I was in Indiana over the weekend and pointed to a flea market we were passing. "Is that any cool?" I inquired. Ahhhh. Sure. Is that any cool. Humans say things like that. Sigh.
	9:48pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Try 16 Horsepower and Blues Saraceno.
	👻 9:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:47 I'm sure people still knew what you meant. Even if it's in-elegant, language is pretty flexible.
	9:49pm Mr Fab: "Is that any cool?" I like it! It might catch on.
	9:49pm Arvo: ↳ Song: "Stay Sharp" by "Bo Diddley" Chess Records, Chicago label. I never stood outside the place, but certainly walked by it without knowing. At WLUW, they had a good amount of Chess Records comps. Sugar Pie DeSanto being among my favorites.
	👻 9:49pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:48 Oh, it was just funny!! I'm going to run with it from now on!
	👻 9:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:49 I need to dive deeper into Chess. I bet I would not be disappointed.
	9:51pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Of course in my crossover, Desdinova and her daughter will have the townsfolk to deal with.
	👻 9:51pm Heather Z: Reporting back: other goth friend says, "I can go along with that" re Cash Goths. So it's apparently any cool!
	9:51pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Stay Sharp" by "Bo Diddley" I wonder if Bo Diddley ever sued any of the multiple people that swiped from him. I mean “I Want Candy” is basically “Hey Bo Diddley” with new lyrics. Or maybe he didn’t think it was worth the bother/expense.
	👻 9:52pm Austin Rich: Aren't Sisters of Mercy at the center of the Venn Diagram between "Country" and "Goth"?
	9:52pm Arvo: I have an ex that would say that something is "groove". So it would be an adjective or a noun. Never groovy, just groove.
	9:52pm Mr Fab: ↳ Heather Z @9:51 Ha, right on!
	9:52pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: A wife can't be made to testify. That's why he married her.
	👻 9:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:51 He does seem like the backbone of most rock music. To me, anyway.
	9:53pm coelacanth∅: so i was thinking...i have some trouble with my landlord. do you think Mr. Fix-it here can help me with that?
	👻 9:53pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:52 They're in there. As, I'd say, is Nick Cave.
	👻 9:54pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @9:52 I dig it! That's groove is any cool!!
	👻 9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "True Love" by "The Marching Girls" I get this song stuck in my head all the time. I keep meaning to do a cover of it. But I'm not really that good at guitar, so it would be pretty minimalist.
	9:54pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @9:52 There’s something country about Sisters of Mercy? I guess I’ve only heard straight-up rock from them. I agree with Nick Cave as goth-country, as well as Cowboy Junkies. Maybe Lee Hazelwood.
	👻 9:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "True Love" by "The Marching Girls" This soundtrack - and this movie, for that matter - had a big impact on me as a youth.
	9:55pm Arvo: You could do it in the style of Devo.
	👻 9:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:54 I think mostly that one guy in Sisters always dresses up in cowboy hats and stuff. But that might be the extent, really.
	9:56pm Arvo: There is a future MVM guest DJ set with a Sisters if Mercy related track on it. I am a recent conversion to their music actually.
	9:58pm Arvo: Doggone Vegans been eatin too many beans!
	9:59pm Arvo: Sanford Clark too
	10:00pm Arvo: Buck Satan and the 666 Shooters. Al Jorgensen project.
	10:00pm coelacanth∅: "cowgoth"! ...i've been in the kitchen; must peruse the comments board tomorrow.
	10:00pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: That blazing sun can fry your brain.
	10:02pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Scary can be tasty.
	👻 10:03pm Heather Z: My goth consultant chimes in with a simple "no" re cowgoth Sisters of Mercy.
	10:03pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: youtu.be...
	10:05pm Arvo: Vootie!
	👻 10:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:03 I don't dispute your friend. But, I do recommend that you ggogle, "Sisters of Mercy hat" and scroll past the ads to the band photos... and you'll see what I mean about it being a fashion thing.
	10:06pm Mr Fab: ↳ Arvo @10:00 Industrial country! There’s some great stuff on that album. I like one called “I hate every bone in your body except mine.“
	10:08pm Arvo: ↳ Mr Fab @10:06 "Take Me Away" is a great one off that album. As for the cover of the Grateful Dead song, I prefer the live version featuring Eddie Vedder, and they went into the Midnight Cowboy theme after it...
	👻 10:09pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:05 I also have more than one cowboy hat, though, and I live up north. It's a good kind of hat.
	10:10pm Arvo: Stylistically there are a number of music projects that could be called "Goth Country". Bain Wolfkind is the one I want to mention most. The rest that I recall either get too much into neofolk for my taste, or just too polished of a sound.
	👻 10:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:09 I think that alone proves the "Cowgoth" concept right there.
	10:11pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: So Austin, do you think my crossover would work best as a script with the same format as the off show?
	10:11pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:11 I meant otr
	10:12pm Arvo: I did a punk and metal dj set remotely last night. All this punk lately is stirring my brain.
	👻 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:11 Hmmmmmm. Possibly! That could be fun, anyway.
	👻 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:12 Nice! I always endorse DJing.
	👻 10:12pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:10 It's totally a thing. One of my rocker friend here often wears a cowboy hat and western shirt. He's not into country, per se, but rocks the look. We also all got into Hawaiian shirts this year. Something in the water, I suppose, is doing weird stuff to Rochester fashion in certain circles.
	👻 10:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:12 All the goths out here are also Tiki-Con attendees, so that doesn't surprise me in the slightest.
	10:14pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:12 Bring back The Frontier Gentleman for an Imaginos crossover. Have to work out how many townsfolk saw the "shooting star".
	👻 10:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "A Cowboy's Friend" by "Miriam Francis" I do love the Wavy Gravy comps, and this one is FANTASTIC. But the others are great, too.
	👻 10:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:14 I'm into it.
	👻 10:16pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:13 For me, a lot of the any cool of goth has always been the outfits. I'm positive I'm so not alone in that.
	10:16pm coelacanth∅: this is my only hat, besides wfmu knit hats external-content.duckduckgo.com... ...does this mean i'm a closet ozzie bushman?
	👻 10:18pm Heather Z: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:16 Coelllll that hat is fantastic!!! And a radio station beanie is classic! I wear my local WAYO one a lot. Except then everyone wants to talk about WAYO and sometimes I'm not that social.
	👻 10:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:16 That's a good hat. I have many hats. I even have a pith helmet. But I often don't need one; my hair is super thick, and shows no signs of thinning. (My dad is 70, with a thick head of hair, and my grandfather had barely lost any hair before he passed.)
	10:19pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:15 Pete Myers, the "Mad Daddy", I recently learned that he was the first to rehearse or audition as what would end up being "Ghoulardi", a pioneering horror host with a very surrealist edge, 1960s Cleveland.
	10:20pm wenzo: Hey Mr. Austin
	10:21pm laurapanic: forgot to turn up on time. I bet I missed some crazy dialogue
	👻 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:19 Oh yeah! The Mad Daddy is EXCELLENT. (And Ghoulardi totally took some ideas from Mad Daddy.) And both of them are essentially where The Cramps get their image. (All their quotes and lines are from those two.)
	10:21pm Arvo: ↳ Heather Z @10:16 Goth and punk culture is largely fashion now, music taste is not required.
	👻 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @10:20 Nice to see you, Wenzo! And laurapanic! The gang's all here!
	10:22pm Arvo: BEAK> is a recent discovery of mine, featuring members of Portishead. They recently did a Krautrock record.
	10:22pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ laurapanic @10:21 Both on the programme and in chat.
	10:22pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Austin Rich @10:18 i can only wear a hat if it's below ~20ºf lest my head burst into flames. this hat's a story but i'll bore the blazes out of you another time.
	👻 10:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:22 Will need to look into that!
	10:23pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Heather Z @10:18 having to socialize when you're in another space is not any cool!
	10:23pm wenzo: The gangs all here… time to boost some hubcaps…
	👻 10:24pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @10:21 It's been that way since I was a young goth here. I'm down with it.
	👻 10:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @10:23 I'll put up the spray paint tags in the alley.
	10:24pm Arvo: Those beans any cool?
	👻 10:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Blue Cowboy" by "Greg Sage" Since we were talking about The Wipers earlier, here's one of Greg Sage's solo records, which I also recommend, but are very "country / punk." When I'm sad, I call myself, "The Blue Cowboy."
	👻 10:26pm Heather Z: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:23 It can be tiring! "Hey, are you on WAYO?! I was/know someone on WAYO!" Everyone is or knows someone on WAYO, though. It's a small town, can't shake a stick without hitting a WAYO. And then we ask why you were shaking that stick! And I'm here for hat stories if you got em!
	👻 10:27pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @10:24 They're actually even groove. There's some good grub round this here fire. Moonshine, anyone? I brought my canteens.
	10:28pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:26 I am making mental bookmarks.
	10:28pm wenzo: I went on a frontier gentleman spree a while back… don’t think I ever listened to all of them…
	10:30pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I wish
	👻 10:30pm Heather Z: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:30 Me tooooo
	10:31pm Arvo: Hope y'all have a good time down yonder. Reek has been touring for a good month or so? I helped him on a couple dates.
	👻 10:32pm Heather Z: You've got this, Austin!! It's going to be so great! Wish I could be there but I will be in spirit!
	10:32pm wenzo: I think if you just keep this accent up when you’re on stage it may take the edge off the ole anxiety
	10:33pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Which territory should I set the crossover in?
	10:33pm Arvo: Just bring a clown horn and do a lil honk honk if something goes awry.
	👻 10:35pm Austin Rich: "Feel the sawdust in my beard that time," is the weirdest euphemism for "almost dying" that I've ever heard.
	👻 10:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @10:32 That's a mighty fine idea!
	👻 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:33 That'll cover mistakes, for sure.
	10:36pm Arvo: Ok, I have to do grown up stuff with my ears. Good night, all!
	👻 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:36 Sleep well!
	👻 10:36pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @10:36 Gnight Arvo!
	👻 10:37pm Austin Rich: "Where'd you learn to shoot like that?" "Odd places." One of the better exchanges.
	10:37pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Arvo @10:36 Sleep well
	10:37pm Arvo: I won't be sleeping! I just had breakfast!
	10:37pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Arvo @10:37 Never stopped me.
	👻 10:38pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @10:37 Gmornin Arvo!
	10:40pm Arvo: 🤠
	👻 10:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:40 That's excellent!
	10:42pm wenzo: Is the sawdust from the coffin…?
	👻 10:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Cowboy" by "Suburban Lawns" Been into this album a lot lately. I think it's the old man in me... Bow Wow Wow and Suburban Lawns... they're on repeat.
	👻 10:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @10:42 That's my guess?
	10:45pm coelacanth∅: and i'm off to work. won't hear the happy ending of the story this evening. grrrr Thanks Austin rich! 'night y'all
	10:45pm laurapanic: now I don't watch Westerns, but with Raquel Welch's recent passing I watched "Hannie Caulder" and it was great.
	👻 10:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:45 Good luck at work! See ya next time.
	👻 10:45pm Heather Z: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:45 Hope work is good! Have a great day!
	👻 10:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:45 I have not seen that! And I do love Raquel. When I was taking care of George during my caregiving job, he loved westerns, so we watched a ton. And in college, they often make you watch westerns for that film degree.
	10:46pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Facing East/West won't help if the ambush is North/South?
	👻 10:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:46 Ha! I almost commented on that! That's great.
	10:49pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @10:46 a film degree would be so interesting
	👻 10:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:49 You watch a lot of Noir and you can be intolerable if you're a little drunk and excitable about something. But I mostly use it for my Max Headroom podcast, and to complain about the most recent comedy I've seen. I think it's all led up to me being ready to appreciate, "Barbie."
	👻 10:53pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:51 I think you'll like Barbie very much! I already want to see it again!
	👻 10:53pm Austin Rich: If she hadn't lived, I had decided I would skip this installment. Fortunately... she lived.
	10:54pm laurapanic: I watch a lot of noir and am often intolerable. Perfect!
	10:54pm Geoff-U: I need to listen to more Mission Of Burma
	👻 10:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:54 Zing! We're the perfect coffee hang.
	👻 10:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @10:54 I love them. I was very lucky to see them twice during those reunion shows.
	10:55pm Geoff-U: When I was taking video classes at LCC they made us edit together episodes of Gunsmoke
	10:56pm Geoff-U: It was a really interesting exercise - give a deep respect for the power of editing!
	👻 10:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @10:55 I could see that. To practice continuity and stuff.
	10:57pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Should I set my story in Oregon or Montana? Or some place in between?
	👻 10:57pm Heather Z: Nearing the end here so wanted to thank everyone for a fun chat and Austin for another great show! Looks like there's still a couple pulls in the canteens so I'll finish those off while I curry Old Scratch. Til next week!
	10:57pm Geoff-U: You can take a bunch of raw footage and by editing it together in different ways you can come up with completely different moods, etc. Hell even different stories
	10:59pm Geoff-U: Thanks again for the fun show!
	10:59pm wenzo: Thanks Austin!
	10:59pm Geoff-U: See you Friday :)
	10:59pm Cp304: good listening rich, was grubbing and dishes
	11:03pm wenzo: I request Jesse James by Lead Belly
	👻 11:04pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @11:03 Good Request! I'll try to fit it in soon!
	11:04pm wenzo: Or when I was a cowboy I guess it’s called
	11:04pm wenzo: If you didn’t play that already
	👻 11:04pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @11:04 I have not!
	11:04pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Hope everyone has a fine day or night.
	11:05pm Cp304: looking forward to halloween, already revisiting my fav hallow mixes lately, as well as planning days off
	👻 11:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Cowboy" by "Jon Spencer Blues Explosion" I saw Jon Spencer on this tour, with Sleeter-Kinney opening, and it was one of the more memorable shows of that era.
	👻 11:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Cp304 @11:05 Yeah. I do look forward to October.
	11:06pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @11:05 Best month of the year.
	👻 11:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @11:06 Agreed.
	11:07pm Cp304: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @11:06 some people look forward to the beach.. i look forward to fall

Mid-Valley Mutations with Austin Rich: Playlist from August 22, 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.

Listener comments!
	👻 5:51pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	8:53pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Ahoy.
	👻 9:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @8:53 Sit and stay a spell! Thanks for joining us.
	9:01pm Krys O.: Hello! I saw John Dehner yesterday on TCM. They were showing Cheyenne Social Club.
	9:02pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Now I am getting tempted to make my newest fic a crossover with the Frontier Gentleman. Would be a challenge, but space western seem popular these days.
	9:04pm Krys O.: I think you can watch TCM on Hulu Plus.
	9:04pm Geoff-U: Good evenin'
	9:06pm Geoff-U: I will be there! Bringing some friends too I think
	9:07pm Geoff-U: I think we'll bring some sort of picnic stuff
	9:08pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Cupid aims like the Savannah Bananas.
	👻 9:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @9:07 It's right around dinner, so that is wise. I think I'll bring a sandwich, too.
	👻 9:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:08 Someone needs to teach him better aim. Or not to meddle!
	👻 9:11pm Austin Rich: The way The Frontier Gentleman says he is NOT married seems like another clue to his "Confirmed Bachelor" status, as they used to say.
	9:12pm Krys O.: ↳ Song: "All Come To Meet Her" by "Alexander Spence" I LOVE THIS ALBUM!!!
	👻 9:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:12 This album... I mean... it's essential. I was late to the game... but damn!
	9:13pm coelacanth∅: hi again Austin, Rich, Austin Rich and sundry mutants
	👻 9:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:13 "The Sundry Mutants" is what we call ourselves when we're feeling a little emo.
	9:14pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:13 Ahoy! Greetings from this Oyster Girl.
	👻 9:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:12 I would certainly love to know what Krys calls "essential" albums. Perhaps that is what your show is?
	9:17pm coelacanth∅: Aloha Oystergirl ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova!
	9:17pm Arvo: I love that hit song from that Skip Spence album. Just missed it. Little hands... All over the world? Something like that. Hello. Listening as I make salad briefly. Howdy.
	👻 9:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:17 Arvo! Thanks for joining us. Arvo will be doing another DJ set on the program, next month!
	9:18pm Geoff-U: sweet!
	👻 9:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "In Memphis: The Monarch Saloon & Billy Frenchy" b... I am a big Jelly Roll Morton fan, and this release has a lot of stories like this on it, which are all DELIGHTFUL.
	9:20pm Arvo: Darn tootin!
	9:22pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Wonder how J.B Kendall would react to Desdinova and Phoebe moving back to his time period when their scout ship crashes just outside of town and Merak is fatally wounded.
	👻 9:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:22 Hmmmmm. The Frontier Gentleman seems pretty easy going, so long as you aren't a threat. So he'd probably be pretty helpful, if he could be.
	👻 9:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:22 He does seem to know a little medicine, so he'd probably jump right in with that kind of assistance.
	9:26pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:23 True. He might try to help, but I don't know how much alien medicine he would know.
	👻 9:27pm Austin Rich: I recall, in the early 90's, I got a Johnny Cash tape, and would listen to it a lot, to the annoyance of my friends at the time. It wasn't long before EVERYONE I knew was hooked, and I'd like to think I was the genesis of that particular virus in my social group.
	9:30pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Romance is cheap. If its love you're looking for, get a cat.
	👻 9:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:30 Some of those romance novels we sell at the bookstore aren't cheap. But people seem to be VERY interested in them.
	9:32pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @9:27 Howdy, buckaroos! I was lucky enough to be raised in a Cash-loving household. Lots of his records around the house, and mom would watch his variety shows, which were also great. He would feature a young comic named Steve Martin who I thought was hilarious (hmm, whatever happened to him?)
	9:32pm Arvo: Johnny Cash also became viral for me in high school, thanks to some friends of the goth persuasion pulling their irony card....
	9:33pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @9:32 There’s an all romance bookstore in LA.
	👻 9:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:32 Mr. Fab! Hooray! My parents didn't like country music, so I was on my own in that department. But I found my way pretty quickly.
	👻 9:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:32 Cash can get pretty goth, with some of those death ballads.
	👻 9:34pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @9:32 Amazingly, in this snarky town, all the Cash Goths were entirely unironic in their love of The Man in Black.
	9:35pm Mr Fab: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:30 Bestiality? Noooo, thank you!
	9:35pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Mr Fab @9:33 In books romance is better than in life. I read quite a bit of yaoi .
	👻 9:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:34 Thanks for joining us, Heather! Sit down a spell, have a drink and enjoy the stories!
	9:35pm Mr Fab: What, are Cash Goths really a thing?!
	9:35pm Arvo: It's just another one of those things, I was too young to see Johnny Cash while he was alive. I did however, visit my grandfather as he was a day shift bartender who let me play whatever I wanted on the juke box. My grandma's favorite song on the juke box was "All My Exes Live In Texas".
	👻 9:36pm Heather Z: ↳ Mr Fab @9:35 I might have just coined the term but I super duper doubt it! Will google now.
	👻 9:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:35 I tried to see him, and missed out on tickets. He passed not much after that.
	👻 9:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:36 I would believe it.
	9:37pm Arvo: Austin and Heather should do love line type episodes but with cowboy accents.
	👻 9:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:37 That's not a bad idea! I was thinking about taking calls again soon... maybe for Halloween?
	👻 9:38pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @9:37 Why I think that's a mighty fine idea. Thank ya kindly, Arvo, for the suggestion.
	9:39pm Krys O.: Been listening while getting ready to hit the hay. G'night, all!
	👻 9:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:39 Sleep well, Krys O! See ya round the homestead...
	9:39pm Arvo: ↳ Krys O. @9:39 Gnight!
	👻 9:41pm Heather Z: ↳ Krys O. @9:39 Sleep well!
	9:41pm Arvo: ↳ Song: "Loser's Revenge" by "The Wipers" I need to give The Wipers another chance. Whatever I first heard by them was not worth a second listen to me at the time, but that's just the way it goes sometimes.
	9:42pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: If I do the new story as a crossover, should I do it from Kendall's pov or third person?
	9:42pm Arvo: Excitable boy they all said ...
	👻 9:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Loser's Revenge" by "The Wipers" I've probably mentioned it before, but I'm a bit of a Wipers nerd. I recall waiting anxiously, as I had heard that "The Power In One" was coming out. I pre-ordered a CD and LP, since he was self-releasing, and I wanted to support him. It's not the BEST Wipers album, but it was pretty great to be in on a new record, as it was coming out.
	9:43pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Arvo @9:42 My second favorite song on that album
	👻 9:44pm Heather Z: Google isn't giving me anything on an actual term Cash Goths but I asked another goth friend if that seems a legit term so we may get a sample size of two (me and my friend) weighing in.
	9:44pm Arvo: I started talking like a cowboy to the lady at the post office the other day, I blame the mutations.
	👻 9:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:41 They are not for everyone, and I've had to come to terms with the fact that I love them more than the average bear. But they are notable, as Greg Sage was an early queer punk artist, and his albums have a dimension to them that is both more and less punk that his contemporaries. I recommend "Over The Edge" and "Youth of America" as good places to investigate.
	👻 9:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:44 I'll take the blame, certainly.
	9:46pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @9:45 Thanks, I will investigate
	👻 9:47pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:45 Only along the lines of saying things that are ???, I was in Indiana over the weekend and pointed to a flea market we were passing. "Is that any cool?" I inquired. Ahhhh. Sure. Is that any cool. Humans say things like that. Sigh.
	9:48pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Try 16 Horsepower and Blues Saraceno.
	👻 9:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:47 I'm sure people still knew what you meant. Even if it's in-elegant, language is pretty flexible.
	9:49pm Mr Fab: "Is that any cool?" I like it! It might catch on.
	9:49pm Arvo: ↳ Song: "Stay Sharp" by "Bo Diddley" Chess Records, Chicago label. I never stood outside the place, but certainly walked by it without knowing. At WLUW, they had a good amount of Chess Records comps. Sugar Pie DeSanto being among my favorites.
	👻 9:49pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:48 Oh, it was just funny!! I'm going to run with it from now on!
	👻 9:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:49 I need to dive deeper into Chess. I bet I would not be disappointed.
	9:51pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Of course in my crossover, Desdinova and her daughter will have the townsfolk to deal with.
	👻 9:51pm Heather Z: Reporting back: other goth friend says, "I can go along with that" re Cash Goths. So it's apparently any cool!
	9:51pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Stay Sharp" by "Bo Diddley" I wonder if Bo Diddley ever sued any of the multiple people that swiped from him. I mean “I Want Candy” is basically “Hey Bo Diddley” with new lyrics. Or maybe he didn’t think it was worth the bother/expense.
	👻 9:52pm Austin Rich: Aren't Sisters of Mercy at the center of the Venn Diagram between "Country" and "Goth"?
	9:52pm Arvo: I have an ex that would say that something is "groove". So it would be an adjective or a noun. Never groovy, just groove.
	9:52pm Mr Fab: ↳ Heather Z @9:51 Ha, right on!
	9:52pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: A wife can't be made to testify. That's why he married her.
	👻 9:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:51 He does seem like the backbone of most rock music. To me, anyway.
	9:53pm coelacanth∅: so i was thinking...i have some trouble with my landlord. do you think Mr. Fix-it here can help me with that?
	👻 9:53pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:52 They're in there. As, I'd say, is Nick Cave.
	👻 9:54pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @9:52 I dig it! That's groove is any cool!!
	👻 9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "True Love" by "The Marching Girls" I get this song stuck in my head all the time. I keep meaning to do a cover of it. But I'm not really that good at guitar, so it would be pretty minimalist.
	9:54pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @9:52 There’s something country about Sisters of Mercy? I guess I’ve only heard straight-up rock from them. I agree with Nick Cave as goth-country, as well as Cowboy Junkies. Maybe Lee Hazelwood.
	👻 9:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "True Love" by "The Marching Girls" This soundtrack - and this movie, for that matter - had a big impact on me as a youth.
	9:55pm Arvo: You could do it in the style of Devo.
	👻 9:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:54 I think mostly that one guy in Sisters always dresses up in cowboy hats and stuff. But that might be the extent, really.
	9:56pm Arvo: There is a future MVM guest DJ set with a Sisters if Mercy related track on it. I am a recent conversion to their music actually.
	9:58pm Arvo: Doggone Vegans been eatin too many beans!
	9:59pm Arvo: Sanford Clark too
	10:00pm Arvo: Buck Satan and the 666 Shooters. Al Jorgensen project.
	10:00pm coelacanth∅: "cowgoth"! ...i've been in the kitchen; must peruse the comments board tomorrow.
	10:00pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: That blazing sun can fry your brain.
	10:02pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Scary can be tasty.
	👻 10:03pm Heather Z: My goth consultant chimes in with a simple "no" re cowgoth Sisters of Mercy.
	10:03pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: youtu.be...
	10:05pm Arvo: Vootie!
	👻 10:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:03 I don't dispute your friend. But, I do recommend that you ggogle, "Sisters of Mercy hat" and scroll past the ads to the band photos... and you'll see what I mean about it being a fashion thing.
	10:06pm Mr Fab: ↳ Arvo @10:00 Industrial country! There’s some great stuff on that album. I like one called “I hate every bone in your body except mine.“
	10:08pm Arvo: ↳ Mr Fab @10:06 "Take Me Away" is a great one off that album. As for the cover of the Grateful Dead song, I prefer the live version featuring Eddie Vedder, and they went into the Midnight Cowboy theme after it...
	👻 10:09pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:05 I also have more than one cowboy hat, though, and I live up north. It's a good kind of hat.
	10:10pm Arvo: Stylistically there are a number of music projects that could be called "Goth Country". Bain Wolfkind is the one I want to mention most. The rest that I recall either get too much into neofolk for my taste, or just too polished of a sound.
	👻 10:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:09 I think that alone proves the "Cowgoth" concept right there.
	10:11pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: So Austin, do you think my crossover would work best as a script with the same format as the off show?
	10:11pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:11 I meant otr
	10:12pm Arvo: I did a punk and metal dj set remotely last night. All this punk lately is stirring my brain.
	👻 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:11 Hmmmmmm. Possibly! That could be fun, anyway.
	👻 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:12 Nice! I always endorse DJing.
	👻 10:12pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:10 It's totally a thing. One of my rocker friend here often wears a cowboy hat and western shirt. He's not into country, per se, but rocks the look. We also all got into Hawaiian shirts this year. Something in the water, I suppose, is doing weird stuff to Rochester fashion in certain circles.
	👻 10:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:12 All the goths out here are also Tiki-Con attendees, so that doesn't surprise me in the slightest.
	10:14pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:12 Bring back The Frontier Gentleman for an Imaginos crossover. Have to work out how many townsfolk saw the "shooting star".
	👻 10:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "A Cowboy's Friend" by "Miriam Francis" I do love the Wavy Gravy comps, and this one is FANTASTIC. But the others are great, too.
	👻 10:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:14 I'm into it.
	👻 10:16pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:13 For me, a lot of the any cool of goth has always been the outfits. I'm positive I'm so not alone in that.
	10:16pm coelacanth∅: this is my only hat, besides wfmu knit hats external-content.duckduckgo.com... ...does this mean i'm a closet ozzie bushman?
	👻 10:18pm Heather Z: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:16 Coelllll that hat is fantastic!!! And a radio station beanie is classic! I wear my local WAYO one a lot. Except then everyone wants to talk about WAYO and sometimes I'm not that social.
	👻 10:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:16 That's a good hat. I have many hats. I even have a pith helmet. But I often don't need one; my hair is super thick, and shows no signs of thinning. (My dad is 70, with a thick head of hair, and my grandfather had barely lost any hair before he passed.)
	10:19pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:15 Pete Myers, the "Mad Daddy", I recently learned that he was the first to rehearse or audition as what would end up being "Ghoulardi", a pioneering horror host with a very surrealist edge, 1960s Cleveland.
	10:20pm wenzo: Hey Mr. Austin
	10:21pm laurapanic: forgot to turn up on time. I bet I missed some crazy dialogue
	👻 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:19 Oh yeah! The Mad Daddy is EXCELLENT. (And Ghoulardi totally took some ideas from Mad Daddy.) And both of them are essentially where The Cramps get their image. (All their quotes and lines are from those two.)
	10:21pm Arvo: ↳ Heather Z @10:16 Goth and punk culture is largely fashion now, music taste is not required.
	👻 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @10:20 Nice to see you, Wenzo! And laurapanic! The gang's all here!
	10:22pm Arvo: BEAK> is a recent discovery of mine, featuring members of Portishead. They recently did a Krautrock record.
	10:22pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ laurapanic @10:21 Both on the programme and in chat.
	10:22pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Austin Rich @10:18 i can only wear a hat if it's below ~20ºf lest my head burst into flames. this hat's a story but i'll bore the blazes out of you another time.
	👻 10:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:22 Will need to look into that!
	10:23pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Heather Z @10:18 having to socialize when you're in another space is not any cool!
	10:23pm wenzo: The gangs all here… time to boost some hubcaps…
	👻 10:24pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @10:21 It's been that way since I was a young goth here. I'm down with it.
	👻 10:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @10:23 I'll put up the spray paint tags in the alley.
	10:24pm Arvo: Those beans any cool?
	👻 10:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Blue Cowboy" by "Greg Sage" Since we were talking about The Wipers earlier, here's one of Greg Sage's solo records, which I also recommend, but are very "country / punk." When I'm sad, I call myself, "The Blue Cowboy."
	👻 10:26pm Heather Z: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:23 It can be tiring! "Hey, are you on WAYO?! I was/know someone on WAYO!" Everyone is or knows someone on WAYO, though. It's a small town, can't shake a stick without hitting a WAYO. And then we ask why you were shaking that stick! And I'm here for hat stories if you got em!
	👻 10:27pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @10:24 They're actually even groove. There's some good grub round this here fire. Moonshine, anyone? I brought my canteens.
	10:28pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:26 I am making mental bookmarks.
	10:28pm wenzo: I went on a frontier gentleman spree a while back… don’t think I ever listened to all of them…
	10:30pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I wish
	👻 10:30pm Heather Z: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:30 Me tooooo
	10:31pm Arvo: Hope y'all have a good time down yonder. Reek has been touring for a good month or so? I helped him on a couple dates.
	👻 10:32pm Heather Z: You've got this, Austin!! It's going to be so great! Wish I could be there but I will be in spirit!
	10:32pm wenzo: I think if you just keep this accent up when you’re on stage it may take the edge off the ole anxiety
	10:33pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Which territory should I set the crossover in?
	10:33pm Arvo: Just bring a clown horn and do a lil honk honk if something goes awry.
	👻 10:35pm Austin Rich: "Feel the sawdust in my beard that time," is the weirdest euphemism for "almost dying" that I've ever heard.
	👻 10:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @10:32 That's a mighty fine idea!
	👻 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:33 That'll cover mistakes, for sure.
	10:36pm Arvo: Ok, I have to do grown up stuff with my ears. Good night, all!
	👻 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:36 Sleep well!
	👻 10:36pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @10:36 Gnight Arvo!
	👻 10:37pm Austin Rich: "Where'd you learn to shoot like that?" "Odd places." One of the better exchanges.
	10:37pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Arvo @10:36 Sleep well
	10:37pm Arvo: I won't be sleeping! I just had breakfast!
	10:37pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Arvo @10:37 Never stopped me.
	👻 10:38pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @10:37 Gmornin Arvo!
	10:40pm Arvo: 🤠
	👻 10:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:40 That's excellent!
	10:42pm wenzo: Is the sawdust from the coffin…?
	👻 10:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Cowboy" by "Suburban Lawns" Been into this album a lot lately. I think it's the old man in me... Bow Wow Wow and Suburban Lawns... they're on repeat.
	👻 10:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @10:42 That's my guess?
	10:45pm coelacanth∅: and i'm off to work. won't hear the happy ending of the story this evening. grrrr Thanks Austin rich! 'night y'all
	10:45pm laurapanic: now I don't watch Westerns, but with Raquel Welch's recent passing I watched "Hannie Caulder" and it was great.
	👻 10:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:45 Good luck at work! See ya next time.
	👻 10:45pm Heather Z: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:45 Hope work is good! Have a great day!
	👻 10:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:45 I have not seen that! And I do love Raquel. When I was taking care of George during my caregiving job, he loved westerns, so we watched a ton. And in college, they often make you watch westerns for that film degree.
	10:46pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Facing East/West won't help if the ambush is North/South?
	👻 10:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:46 Ha! I almost commented on that! That's great.
	10:49pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @10:46 a film degree would be so interesting
	👻 10:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:49 You watch a lot of Noir and you can be intolerable if you're a little drunk and excitable about something. But I mostly use it for my Max Headroom podcast, and to complain about the most recent comedy I've seen. I think it's all led up to me being ready to appreciate, "Barbie."
	👻 10:53pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:51 I think you'll like Barbie very much! I already want to see it again!
	👻 10:53pm Austin Rich: If she hadn't lived, I had decided I would skip this installment. Fortunately... she lived.
	10:54pm laurapanic: I watch a lot of noir and am often intolerable. Perfect!
	10:54pm Geoff-U: I need to listen to more Mission Of Burma
	👻 10:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:54 Zing! We're the perfect coffee hang.
	👻 10:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @10:54 I love them. I was very lucky to see them twice during those reunion shows.
	10:55pm Geoff-U: When I was taking video classes at LCC they made us edit together episodes of Gunsmoke
	10:56pm Geoff-U: It was a really interesting exercise - give a deep respect for the power of editing!
	👻 10:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @10:55 I could see that. To practice continuity and stuff.
	10:57pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Should I set my story in Oregon or Montana? Or some place in between?
	👻 10:57pm Heather Z: Nearing the end here so wanted to thank everyone for a fun chat and Austin for another great show! Looks like there's still a couple pulls in the canteens so I'll finish those off while I curry Old Scratch. Til next week!
	10:57pm Geoff-U: You can take a bunch of raw footage and by editing it together in different ways you can come up with completely different moods, etc. Hell even different stories
	10:59pm Geoff-U: Thanks again for the fun show!
	10:59pm wenzo: Thanks Austin!
	10:59pm Geoff-U: See you Friday :)
	10:59pm Cp304: good listening rich, was grubbing and dishes
	11:03pm wenzo: I request Jesse James by Lead Belly
	👻 11:04pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @11:03 Good Request! I'll try to fit it in soon!
	11:04pm wenzo: Or when I was a cowboy I guess it’s called
	11:04pm wenzo: If you didn’t play that already
	👻 11:04pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @11:04 I have not!
	11:04pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Hope everyone has a fine day or night.
	11:05pm Cp304: looking forward to halloween, already revisiting my fav hallow mixes lately, as well as planning days off
	👻 11:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Cowboy" by "Jon Spencer Blues Explosion" I saw Jon Spencer on this tour, with Sleeter-Kinney opening, and it was one of the more memorable shows of that era.
