	♥ 9:08pm Rich in Washington: Hi Robm! I used to listen to his online show, especially as the date for his predicted end of the world drew nigh.
	♥ 9:09pm ultradamno: Predicting the end is nigh is at best a thankless job
	♥ 9:10pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Change" by "Escape Mechanism" The artist also in rotation as "Some Assembly Required" in Sheena's Wiggle Room.
	♥ 9:12pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:10 Keep Jon in your thoughts. He is going through some scary medical stuff at the moment. He's OK, but undergoing some surgery which is understandably scary.
	♥ 9:13pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:12 Oh no, I didn't know that! I hope he comes out on the other side of it all better!
	9:13pm Robm: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:08 you know who else was a hoot? gene scott, used to yell get on the phone
	♥ 9:14pm Kat in the chat: This thrift store German record is working really well with the music

	♥ 9:14pm WR: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:12 Thanks for noting that Kat, and thanks for letting us know about Jon's recent status. Hope for the best.

	♥ 9:18pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @9:17 Indeed! Hope you're on the mend!
	♥ 9:20pm Rich in Washington: It's just that shit scary thing where they have to tell you about the risk factor. It's agonizing. I remember going through it when my wife had heart surgery. It just turns everyone upside down but I understand why they have to tell you.
	♥ 9:23pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:20 Eventually I'll need a bone morrow transplant, mortality on that was somewhere about 30% 10 years ago when I was diagnosed, better now I believe but still highly terrifying.
	♥ 9:24pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Aitch @9:23 I hope it's a lot better now!
	♥ 9:24pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @9:23 Holy crap!
	♥ 9:27pm coelacanth∅: good evening Rich and others
	9:27pm Mr Fab: Hi Rich n folks! While we’re all contemplating our mortality, Mike Rogers was just admitted to the hospital for a serious heart condition, and I’m in the process of lining up fill-ins for his 3 Sheena’s shows.
	♥ 9:27pm WR: ↳ Aitch @9:23 thanks for letting us know, Aitch.
	♥ 9:27pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Mr Fab @9:27 Oh that's right! How's he doing?
	♥ 9:27pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Mr Fab @9:27 what the fuck
	♥ 9:28pm Rich in Washington: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:27 hi coel!
	9:28pm Robm: ↳ Mr Fab @9:27 wow this chat has gotten very depressing about health issues
	♥ 9:28pm Aitch: ↳ Mr Fab @9:27 Terrible news, big love to Mike. Huge fan of his shows and him as a person.
	♥ 9:29pm WR: ↳ Mr Fab @9:27 damn, Mike doesn't get enough sleep. candle at both ends and all that sort of talk.
	9:29pm Mr Fab: Mike says he’s in bed with lots of tubes n things sticking out of him. Sleeping lots, but feeling ok.
	♥ 9:30pm WR: ↳ Robm @9:28 yes, getting pretty specific today, we usually just grumble about crap in general.
	♥ 9:30pm doctorjazz: ↳ Mr Fab @9:27 Sorry to hear it, hoping for. a full, speedy recovery!
	♥ 9:30pm Kat in the chat: Rich, you should be DJing in a dark warehouse somewhere right now, I would totally be dancing to this set
	🥁 ♥ 9:31pm pot8o: ↳ Mr Fab @9:27 i wish him the best & hope that he recovers soon
	9:31pm Robm: ↳ WR @9:29 WR i am guilty of the same thing with waking up in the middle of the night checking out the music on the mothership
	♥ 9:31pm Kat in the chat: random German lessons and all
	♥ 9:31pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Mr Fab @9:29 I chatted with him a bit when he announced it but kinda assumed he was out by now. Crap!
	♥ 9:31pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:30 my soul is a dark warehouse
	♥ 9:32pm WR: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:31 that's how I read her comment.
	♥ 9:33pm Kat in the chat: Now I'm trying to figure out what kind of room my soul is
	🥁 ♥ 9:33pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:31 didn't they open for nitzer ebb back in the day?
	9:33pm Robm: ↳ WR @9:30 i remember on monas show a couple of months ago she was doing a couple of shows from her late dad’s house, what a great discussion that was
	♥ 9:34pm Kat in the chat: ↳ pot8o @9:33 haha pot8o!
	♥ 9:34pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Crash And Burn" by "Ministry" I have a CD of this early Ministry
	♥ 9:36pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @9:34 me too!
	9:36pm Mr Fab: Was seriously considering attending a Rob Zombie/Alice Cooper show cuz Ministry was on the bill. Surprised they’re still around.
	♥ 9:36pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Mr Fab @9:36 I think Al's finally found a drug regimen that works for him.
	9:37pm Dean: Holy shit, the morbidity factor is strong here! Re: bone marrow transplants, my daughter's good friend in middle school just donated to her brother, who seems to be doing very well.
	♥ 9:37pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:36 LOL
	♥ 9:38pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:36 Now he just takes all of them, as ever getting the balance right is the trick
	♥ 9:39pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Dean @9:37 That's good news!
	♥ 9:39pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @9:37 It gets better all the time, but still depends on how good the match is, and what the underlying condition is.
	♥ 9:43pm Kat in the chat: Y'all should check out the archives this weekend for Mr. Fab's space age fill in for Don-O earlier this evening
	♥ 9:43pm Rich in Washington: goddamn peppercorn from the meal I just ate before my show decided to make a guest appearance in my throat while on the mic. Goddammit.
	♥ 9:44pm WR: ↳ Robm @9:33 Hmmm. Will look up that Mona show.
	♥ 9:44pm Kat in the chat: Mudhoney still at it! I like this.
	9:45pm Dean: On a much less critical note, I recently could not refill my own medication, thanks to the incompetence of businesses wholly devoted to the miseries of capitalism. Consequently, I went cold turkey on a drug one should not stop cold turkey. Lasted a week. I was fine pretty much until the last day, when I felt like my head was full of psychedelic soup.
	♥ 9:45pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Dean @9:45 That sucks! Sorry to hear!
	♥ 9:46pm doctorjazz: ↳ Dean @9:45 That stinks!
	♥ 9:47pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Dean @9:45 Ugh! You don't sound soupy now, I'm glad you got your meds, but yeah the miseries of capitalism
	♥ 9:49pm Kat in the chat: I worry about my next doctor visit because they are probably going to want to put me on stuff and what if I can't afford the stuff down the road
	♥ 9:52pm coelacanth∅: i consistently have to jump through hoops for refills on a medication for a lifelong situation. the drug is not dangerous, addictive or ever used recreationally. i should at least have a year's worth of refills each time but the scum that is optum has one thing on their agenda: money. the health "care" system in the us is a parasitic monster.
	♥ 9:52pm Rich in Washington: these cats are from Nashville
	♥ 9:53pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:52 it's so tempting to respond "and who gives a shit" but they sound great actually
	♥ 9:53pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:53 lol!
	9:54pm Robm: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:52 nashville has a great music scene, it’s not just country either
	♥ 9:55pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:53 this is my brain on Negativland, or on Casey Kasem
	♥ 9:56pm doctorjazz: ↳ Robm @9:54 Gina Bacon plays music from Nashville on her Saturday show; lots IS country, but lots of other kinds of music as well.
	♥ 9:57pm Kat in the chat: what have i done
	9:57pm Robm: ↳ doctorjazz @9:56 i know i try to listen to her and there is a lot of great music on that show
	♥ 9:57pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:57 You have no one to blame but yourself, Kat ;)
	9:57pm northguineahills: So, I’m in Gainesville in an Old Wave party. Spent the day bouncing from record store to record (have no money, can’t buy anything), but I saw 5 of my LPs of my record collection in two stores. Found my record collection in storage, 38% still present. Gonna weep and dance to Depeche Mode’s “Everything Counts in Large Amounts”, now…
	9:58pm Robm: fucking ponderous man
	🥁 ♥ 9:58pm pot8o: this is awesome
	♥ 9:58pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "America's Top 40 Is Waiting" by "Casey Kasem vs B... haha, did you do this Rich?
	9:58pm northguineahills: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:57 You know what you did!
	♥ 10:00pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:58 many, many moons ago.
	10:00pm Robm: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:00 yeah kasey kinda lost his shit
	♥ 10:01pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "America's Top 40 Is Waiting" by "Casey Kasem vs B... Casey as a biker mastodon.social...
	♥ 10:02pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @10:01 He's also in The Incredible Two Headed Transplant with Bruce Dern.
	♥ 10:05pm ultradamno: That one, The Glory Stompers, is on ScreenPix now...Dennis Hopper is, of course, the bad guy biker
	♥ 10:05pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "New Flag" by "FACS" Ohhh Brian Case, no wonder I like this
	♥ 10:07pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:05 I've never heard of this band before getting this album but I'm liking it lots.
	♥ 10:07pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:05 Found his bandcamp page. Thanks for the tip! briancasemusic.bandcamp.com...
	♥ 10:08pm Kat in the chat: Brian Case was in a couple of other Chicago bands I really liked. Also, pretty much anything on Trouble In Mind deserves to exist
	♥ 10:08pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:08 I will check all of that out for sure!
	♥ 10:21pm doctorjazz: ↳ Song: "Foreveriff" by "Mammatus" Like this!
	♥ 10:22pm Rich in Washington: ↳ doctorjazz @10:21 This album's really wonderful.
	♥ 10:22pm Doug Schulkind: Hello, Friday brother.
	♥ 10:22pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Doug Schulkind @10:22 It's Doug! Happy Friday!
	♥ 10:23pm Kat in the chat: You're just in time for your German lesson, Doug.
	♥ 10:24pm doctorjazz: OK, gotta head out, thanks Rich, nice weekend all!
	♥ 10:24pm Kat in the chat: Same to you, doctorjazz!
	♥ 10:24pm Rich in Washington: ↳ doctorjazz @10:24 Nighty night, doctorjazz! Thanks for listening!
	10:27pm arlo: these last couple jams... really nice. i'll meet you at the corner of sludge & drone
	♥ 10:27pm Rich in Washington: ↳ arlo @10:27 Yeah, both of these albums are lovely.
	♥ 10:30pm WR: ↳ northguineahills @9:57 38% ouch
	10:37pm northguineahills: ↳ WR @10:30 Oy gevalt, indeed! (Yes, I counted). My friend’s parents are amazing. Unlike my biological parents, they are loving.
	10:43pm Dean: Corresponded with Blonk when he issued his Artaud book. A friend of mine is working mightily to get him here to the Bay Area.
	♥ 10:54pm tom tom the pipers son: hello all, just listened to lewsberg on another stream and my reaction is meh, sounding like velvets, feelies, at this point, a pretty safe, academic move, i don't see why all the fuss...
	♥ 10:55pm Rich in Washington: Hi tom tom! Hopefully I can offer some shelter from the meh.
	10:56pm Dean: (I confess that I, too, regard VU, Feelies, and so many other adored ensembles as not all that.)
	♥ 10:56pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:55 sure, have already...
	10:57pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:54 Abrazos!
	♥ 10:57pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @10:57 hi ngh!
	10:59pm northguineahills: I’ve never felt old until I realized I’m at the 50% of the median age of this old wave party (there’s hope for us all! 🤪
	11:00pm Dean: Why would a statistic make you feel old, ngh? I'm hella old. I don't feel old.
	♥ 11:01pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @10:56 i think there's a way to enjoy v u, feelies, but sounding like them now, i don't get
	♥ 11:03pm ultradamno: I see the VU ref to Lewsburg but not so much Feelies, they never got that jumpy
	♥ 11:04pm ultradamno: People were ready to dismiss Dream Syndicate at first too
	♥ 11:05pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @10:59 i'm glad there's hope, but kafka said there's infinite hope except for us, which i confess i don't entirely understand, but has stayed with me...
	11:05pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @11:00 Ideas (dry humor) are my thing
	♥ 11:07pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ ultradamno @11:03 that's a good point, was pretty much re-conveying the reaction on chat board
	♥ 11:09pm ultradamno: (in fairness I felt that way about Joy Division wannabes for years)
	11:09pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:05 Keep hope. My (as some will say, naive, optimism will kill me… I rather be killed bc of optimism then giving in to pessimism) is love will work.
	♥ 11:12pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @11:09 Truer words were never said, ngh.
	♥ 11:16pm ironybread: Just joining! Damn this playlist looks so spectacular I'll need to hear the whole thing tomorrow when it hits the archive
	11:16pm (erik vt): Rich: re music info: if your are like my anal compulsive ass (pardon the visual there!), which is utterly exhausting… one is most content when I have the original date of release, AND it’s re-issue or remix or detailed well labeled changes, including remastering, etc 🙄😏
	11:16pm Mr Fab: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:43 Wow, thanks muchly, Kat!
	♥ 11:16pm Aitch: Saturday morning visitors, it's as if they didn't know the Radio is Broken
	♥ 11:17pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @11:09 thanks for the kind words, young at heart... right
	♥ 11:18pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Wait A Minute" by "Wipers" Didn't know of Wipers, this is really good
	♥ 11:18pm Rich in Washington: ↳ (erik vt) @11:16 It's worse with the software we use at my other station. It's got this stupid autofill feature that just sucks. Super annoying #stupidDJproblems
	♥ 11:20pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Aitch @11:18 agree
	11:20pm Dean: Bibliographic description is an art and, to some extent, a science. It has nothing to do with compulsive behavior. It has to do with accuracy and precision.
	♥ 11:21pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:18 but the problem is compounded by lazy DJs who just enter the year that's on their CD and then it's clogged up the database forever.
	11:22pm (erik vt): Look, I’m trapped in my self imposed brackets again!👀 - I really appreciate and rest easier when I can see the artist name, song title, derivation of album title, date of release, reissue, source: bandcamp, SoundCloud, or other whatnots. & That’s why I’m not a DJ - I’d never get anything accomplished or done filling in all the info !?! 🤪
	11:23pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @11:20 I need the isbn to know if your serious!🤪
	🥁 ♥ 11:23pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "This Time" by "Wipers" have this on an old cassette i bought off ebay for a lark, bunch of 80s san fran college radio stuff mostly dave emory but there's some punk stuff
	11:25pm Dean: That isn't "lazy" behavior, Rich. That's one plausible data point. Databases don't get "clogged up" by data if the structure is good. A badly designed database--of which there are examples infinite--causes the problem.
	♥ 11:25pm Rich in Washington: playlist is stuck. Probably because I'm criticizing playlist software.
	🥁 ♥ 11:25pm pot8o: archive.org... (not the one with wipers on it, but it's my fav out of the batch of 30 or so tapes)
	♥ 11:26pm tom tom the pipers son: have an inkling that that kakfa quote is a joke
	♥ 11:27pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Dean @11:25 I've been pondering that one. It's also possible that some DJs feel compelled to record the actual year of the thing they're playing. Personally, I want to know when the thing actually came out. In the case of a radical remix, like the Beatles being remixed in stereo and then restored in mono, it makes sense. It's just my pissy pet peeve.
	11:28pm Dean: Playlist was sticking earlier today. See my rant about databases.
	♥ 11:28pm WR: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:25 did you get any feedback when it happened earlier during Hinky Dinky.
	♥ 11:29pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Dean @11:25 but that said, Spinitron, which lots of non-profit stations use, is a clusterfuck.
	♥ 11:29pm Rich in Washington: ↳ WR @11:28 no, because the problem seemed to sort itself out before I could contact anyone.
	11:31pm Dean: There are standards for describing objects like books or recordings. Those standards necessarily trade off one benefit for another. That's what standards do. The data point "when the thing actually came out" isn't always discernible from releases of "the thing." Catalogers in my business aren't doing historical investigation. They are describing the object in hand for the sake of facilitating discovery of and access to it.
	🥁 ♥ 11:33pm pot8o: personally i do original release unless it's a comp or something of that nature, which in that case i put down the release year of the that release & put the original year in the notes
	🥁 ♥ 11:34pm pot8o: i should say i WOULD do that, i'm not a dj yet (fingers crossed that changes sometime in the foreseeable future)
	11:36pm Dean: Uncle Michael has stated explicitly that he will specify the original issue, even if his copy is a later issue.
	♥ 11:36pm tom tom the pipers son: some djs go... original release/ actual release, which i think is a good way to go
	♥ 11:38pm Rich in Washington: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:36 I sometimes do that. I mean, there are some records which the OG issue is just unobtainium, like Residents' Santa Dog for example.
	♥ 11:38pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:38 ah...
	♥ 11:40pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "I Don't Know What I Am / Mystery" by "Crackerbash" so good guitar has groovy sound
	♥ 11:41pm Rich in Washington: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:40 Yeah. Crackerbash was another great Portland band.
	11:43pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @11:36 Hit me on my side.
	♥ 11:43pm Kat in the chat: The college station I was on in Chicago switched from manual playlist entry (which didn't have the level of detail as the playlists here) to having the software recognize, or allegedly recognize, what we were playing. I think they were using Spotify's database or something? Anyway, it obviously only picked up about half of what I played, and sometimes it would identify the samples instead of the track. I hated when they made that switch so much.
	11:45pm northguineahills: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:43 I can’t wait you’re my fave GTDS dj (i’d’ll happen).
	♥ 11:45pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:43 That's hilarious! Spinitron has a feature like that but I've just disabled it when I'm on.
	♥ 11:45pm Kat in the chat: I created Twitter accounts for my playlists, livetweeted my selections and encouraged people to follow along there. I'm now off Twitter entirely for the obvious reasons, but I pulled all those tweets before I deactivated
	♥ 11:46pm Kat in the chat: We couldn't disable or override bc it worked just fine for the student DJs playing rotation, they didn't care about the community DJs
	🥁 ♥ 11:46pm _Ike_: Hippies!!!!!
	♥ 11:47pm Kat in the chat: ↳ northguineahills @11:45 thanks ngh, I shouldn't be your fave tho with the talent already on here :)
	♥ 11:49pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:46 I did a stint as a community DJ at a college station! The acting student station manager loved us. The administration hated us. The eventually made us all quit by revoking our potty privileges. No kidding. The made it so we had to walk to an office and ask for a key to the bathroom. Why? Someone claimed some DJs were stealing food from a staff refrigerator so they locked the building down other than the tiny room the station was in.
	♥ 11:50pm ultradamno: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:45 I'm sticking it out until he starts charging. God, I hope he starts charging soon.
	♥ 11:51pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:49 funny how so much oppression is centered on bathroom use
	♥ 11:51pm Kat in the chat: That's def the kind of crazy shit that goes on at college stations. We had some bathroom issues too. Some of the student programming directors loved the community DJs and some were downright hostile.
	♥ 11:51pm Rich in Washington: I went to Twitter after several months for the sole purpose of deleting my account and now I'm on it again.
	♥ 11:51pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Youth Of America" by "Melvins" This is wild
	🥁 ♥ 11:52pm pot8o: my local college station is basically a knockoff of the rock station across the river, down to the crass wannabe howard sterns in the morning my radio training teacher is one of the coolest people on the planet, but my GOD do i dread the day i have to don the giant headphones and do a shift
	♥ 11:53pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @11:52 You'll do fine. If it wasn't fun it wouldn't be terrifying at first.
	♥ 11:53pm Kat in the chat: That "X" is so ugly, it elicits such a visceral reaction from me that I had to bail. I pretty much ditched it after he revoked Tweetbot's access though, the regular feed was barely usable by that time
	♥ 11:54pm ultradamno: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:53 My first thought seeing it, which I've been able to shake, is Drakkar Noir
	♥ 11:54pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Youth Of America" by "Melvins" Haven't got this Melvins, but just looked it up. Must get.
	♥ 11:54pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:53 What Rich said. It's terrible that they have morning zoos/shock jocks on college stations though
	🥁 ♥ 11:54pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:53 i'd love to do regular dj shifts, it's more the fact that it's basically run like a commercial radio station, ie it's all automated and all i do is just come on the air every 5 minutes and do ad spiels apparently it was good in the 2000s but they changed program directors and it went downhill from there
	♥ 11:55pm Kat in the chat: ↳ ultradamno @11:54 Ha!
	♥ 11:55pm ultradamno: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:53 I've had little uptick in trolls but the number of spammy follows is through the roof

The Radio Is Broken with Rich In Washington: Playlist from September 22, 2023

View Rich in Washington's profile

The Radio Is Broken is a three-hour spelunk through the canyons and fissures of humanity's collective unconscious. It sounds as if a field recording of the Culture Industry were a sonic juggernaut barreling down a rickety track—except that tunnel ahead is just painted onto a sheer cliff wall. With occasional forays into what might pass for "normal" music. Prerequisite journey: Cratedigger's Lung

Two months later I received Pino’s contribution: short sound fragments recorded from a record player with prepared records. I thought they were quite strong but also crude, and I spent a long time to process and combine them in various ways. After that I did not add any electronic sounds but only my vocal parts, singing and performing the titles Pino gave to his fragments, and of course improvising. "	1:42:19 (Pop-up)

	♥ 9:44pm Kat in the chat: Mudhoney still at it! I like this.
	9:45pm Dean: On a much less critical note, I recently could not refill my own medication, thanks to the incompetence of businesses wholly devoted to the miseries of capitalism. Consequently, I went cold turkey on a drug one should not stop cold turkey. Lasted a week. I was fine pretty much until the last day, when I felt like my head was full of psychedelic soup.

	10:43pm Dean: Corresponded with Blonk when he issued his Artaud book. A friend of mine is working mightily to get him here to the Bay Area.
	♥ 10:54pm tom tom the pipers son: hello all, just listened to lewsberg on another stream and my reaction is meh, sounding like velvets, feelies, at this point, a pretty safe, academic move, i don't see why all the fuss...
	♥ 10:55pm Rich in Washington: Hi tom tom! Hopefully I can offer some shelter from the meh.
	10:56pm Dean: (I confess that I, too, regard VU, Feelies, and so many other adored ensembles as not all that.)
	♥ 10:56pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:55 sure, have already...
	10:57pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:54 Abrazos!
	♥ 10:57pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @10:57 hi ngh!
	10:59pm northguineahills: I’ve never felt old until I realized I’m at the 50% of the median age of this old wave party (there’s hope for us all! 🤪
	11:00pm Dean: Why would a statistic make you feel old, ngh? I'm hella old. I don't feel old.
	♥ 11:01pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Dean @10:56 i think there's a way to enjoy v u, feelies, but sounding like them now, i don't get
	♥ 11:03pm ultradamno: I see the VU ref to Lewsburg but not so much Feelies, they never got that jumpy
	♥ 11:04pm ultradamno: People were ready to dismiss Dream Syndicate at first too
	♥ 11:05pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @10:59 i'm glad there's hope, but kafka said there's infinite hope except for us, which i confess i don't entirely understand, but has stayed with me...
	11:05pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @11:00 Ideas (dry humor) are my thing
	♥ 11:07pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ ultradamno @11:03 that's a good point, was pretty much re-conveying the reaction on chat board
	♥ 11:09pm ultradamno: (in fairness I felt that way about Joy Division wannabes for years)
	11:09pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:05 Keep hope. My (as some will say, naive, optimism will kill me… I rather be killed bc of optimism then giving in to pessimism) is love will work.
	♥ 11:12pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @11:09 Truer words were never said, ngh.
	♥ 11:16pm ironybread: Just joining! Damn this playlist looks so spectacular I'll need to hear the whole thing tomorrow when it hits the archive
	11:16pm (erik vt): Rich: re music info: if your are like my anal compulsive ass (pardon the visual there!), which is utterly exhausting… one is most content when I have the original date of release, AND it’s re-issue or remix or detailed well labeled changes, including remastering, etc 🙄😏
	11:16pm Mr Fab: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:43 Wow, thanks muchly, Kat!
	♥ 11:16pm Aitch: Saturday morning visitors, it's as if they didn't know the Radio is Broken
	♥ 11:17pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @11:09 thanks for the kind words, young at heart... right
	♥ 11:18pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Wait A Minute" by "Wipers" Didn't know of Wipers, this is really good
	♥ 11:18pm Rich in Washington: ↳ (erik vt) @11:16 It's worse with the software we use at my other station. It's got this stupid autofill feature that just sucks. Super annoying #stupidDJproblems
	♥ 11:20pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Aitch @11:18 agree
	11:20pm Dean: Bibliographic description is an art and, to some extent, a science. It has nothing to do with compulsive behavior. It has to do with accuracy and precision.
	♥ 11:21pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:18 but the problem is compounded by lazy DJs who just enter the year that's on their CD and then it's clogged up the database forever.
	11:22pm (erik vt): Look, I’m trapped in my self imposed brackets again!👀 - I really appreciate and rest easier when I can see the artist name, song title, derivation of album title, date of release, reissue, source: bandcamp, SoundCloud, or other whatnots. & That’s why I’m not a DJ - I’d never get anything accomplished or done filling in all the info !?! 🤪
	11:23pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @11:20 I need the isbn to know if your serious!🤪
	🥁 ♥ 11:23pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "This Time" by "Wipers" have this on an old cassette i bought off ebay for a lark, bunch of 80s san fran college radio stuff mostly dave emory but there's some punk stuff
	11:25pm Dean: That isn't "lazy" behavior, Rich. That's one plausible data point. Databases don't get "clogged up" by data if the structure is good. A badly designed database--of which there are examples infinite--causes the problem.
	♥ 11:25pm Rich in Washington: playlist is stuck. Probably because I'm criticizing playlist software.
	🥁 ♥ 11:25pm pot8o: archive.org... (not the one with wipers on it, but it's my fav out of the batch of 30 or so tapes)
	♥ 11:26pm tom tom the pipers son: have an inkling that that kakfa quote is a joke
	♥ 11:27pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Dean @11:25 I've been pondering that one. It's also possible that some DJs feel compelled to record the actual year of the thing they're playing. Personally, I want to know when the thing actually came out. In the case of a radical remix, like the Beatles being remixed in stereo and then restored in mono, it makes sense. It's just my pissy pet peeve.
	11:28pm Dean: Playlist was sticking earlier today. See my rant about databases.
	♥ 11:28pm WR: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:25 did you get any feedback when it happened earlier during Hinky Dinky.
	♥ 11:29pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Dean @11:25 but that said, Spinitron, which lots of non-profit stations use, is a clusterfuck.
	♥ 11:29pm Rich in Washington: ↳ WR @11:28 no, because the problem seemed to sort itself out before I could contact anyone.
	11:31pm Dean: There are standards for describing objects like books or recordings. Those standards necessarily trade off one benefit for another. That's what standards do. The data point "when the thing actually came out" isn't always discernible from releases of "the thing." Catalogers in my business aren't doing historical investigation. They are describing the object in hand for the sake of facilitating discovery of and access to it.
	🥁 ♥ 11:33pm pot8o: personally i do original release unless it's a comp or something of that nature, which in that case i put down the release year of the that release & put the original year in the notes
	🥁 ♥ 11:34pm pot8o: i should say i WOULD do that, i'm not a dj yet (fingers crossed that changes sometime in the foreseeable future)
	11:36pm Dean: Uncle Michael has stated explicitly that he will specify the original issue, even if his copy is a later issue.
	♥ 11:36pm tom tom the pipers son: some djs go... original release/ actual release, which i think is a good way to go
	♥ 11:38pm Rich in Washington: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:36 I sometimes do that. I mean, there are some records which the OG issue is just unobtainium, like Residents' Santa Dog for example.
	♥ 11:38pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:38 ah...
	♥ 11:40pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "I Don't Know What I Am / Mystery" by "Crackerbash" so good guitar has groovy sound
	♥ 11:41pm Rich in Washington: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:40 Yeah. Crackerbash was another great Portland band.
	11:43pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @11:36 Hit me on my side.
	♥ 11:43pm Kat in the chat: The college station I was on in Chicago switched from manual playlist entry (which didn't have the level of detail as the playlists here) to having the software recognize, or allegedly recognize, what we were playing. I think they were using Spotify's database or something? Anyway, it obviously only picked up about half of what I played, and sometimes it would identify the samples instead of the track. I hated when they made that switch so much.
	11:45pm northguineahills: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:43 I can’t wait you’re my fave GTDS dj (i’d’ll happen).
	♥ 11:45pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:43 That's hilarious! Spinitron has a feature like that but I've just disabled it when I'm on.
	♥ 11:45pm Kat in the chat: I created Twitter accounts for my playlists, livetweeted my selections and encouraged people to follow along there. I'm now off Twitter entirely for the obvious reasons, but I pulled all those tweets before I deactivated
	♥ 11:46pm Kat in the chat: We couldn't disable or override bc it worked just fine for the student DJs playing rotation, they didn't care about the community DJs
	🥁 ♥ 11:46pm _Ike_: Hippies!!!!!
	♥ 11:47pm Kat in the chat: ↳ northguineahills @11:45 thanks ngh, I shouldn't be your fave tho with the talent already on here :)
	♥ 11:49pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:46 I did a stint as a community DJ at a college station! The acting student station manager loved us. The administration hated us. The eventually made us all quit by revoking our potty privileges. No kidding. The made it so we had to walk to an office and ask for a key to the bathroom. Why? Someone claimed some DJs were stealing food from a staff refrigerator so they locked the building down other than the tiny room the station was in.
	♥ 11:50pm ultradamno: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:45 I'm sticking it out until he starts charging. God, I hope he starts charging soon.
	♥ 11:51pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:49 funny how so much oppression is centered on bathroom use
	♥ 11:51pm Kat in the chat: That's def the kind of crazy shit that goes on at college stations. We had some bathroom issues too. Some of the student programming directors loved the community DJs and some were downright hostile.
	♥ 11:51pm Rich in Washington: I went to Twitter after several months for the sole purpose of deleting my account and now I'm on it again.
	♥ 11:51pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Youth Of America" by "Melvins" This is wild
	🥁 ♥ 11:52pm pot8o: my local college station is basically a knockoff of the rock station across the river, down to the crass wannabe howard sterns in the morning my radio training teacher is one of the coolest people on the planet, but my GOD do i dread the day i have to don the giant headphones and do a shift
	♥ 11:53pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @11:52 You'll do fine. If it wasn't fun it wouldn't be terrifying at first.
	♥ 11:53pm Kat in the chat: That "X" is so ugly, it elicits such a visceral reaction from me that I had to bail. I pretty much ditched it after he revoked Tweetbot's access though, the regular feed was barely usable by that time
	♥ 11:54pm ultradamno: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:53 My first thought seeing it, which I've been able to shake, is Drakkar Noir
	♥ 11:54pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Youth Of America" by "Melvins" Haven't got this Melvins, but just looked it up. Must get.
	♥ 11:54pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:53 What Rich said. It's terrible that they have morning zoos/shock jocks on college stations though
	🥁 ♥ 11:54pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:53 i'd love to do regular dj shifts, it's more the fact that it's basically run like a commercial radio station, ie it's all automated and all i do is just come on the air every 5 minutes and do ad spiels apparently it was good in the 2000s but they changed program directors and it went downhill from there
	♥ 11:55pm Kat in the chat: ↳ ultradamno @11:54 Ha!
	♥ 11:55pm ultradamno: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:53 I've had little uptick in trolls but the number of spammy follows is through the roof
	♥ 11:55pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:53 I've just really burned out on social media in general. I just don't wanna spend a huge chunk of the life I have left glued to a fucking chair like the space jockey in Alien. 3 hours of radio is enough.
	♥ 11:55pm Kat in the chat: ↳ pot8o @11:54 oh jeez that's not DJing
	11:55pm erik(vt): ↳ ultradamno @11:09 🍏’s automatic iTunes year dates & genres and “grace-notes?” & other Stuff is abysmal !?!
	🥁 ♥ 11:56pm pot8o: thought about sending doug a demo for a lark, but the cable for my mic broke and i have to shell some $$$ to get a new one i don't HAVE to do mic breaks, right? 😬
	♥ 11:56pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks, rich
	🥁 ♥ 11:57pm pot8o: oh wow, i just realized this is almost over, time really does fly thanks rich! have a great week everyone!
	11:57pm Dean: I've burned out on the internet, on Sir Tim Berners-Lee's stupid Web, on things you have to plug in, on things that connect to other things...
	♥ 11:58pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:55 I get that. I use FB mostly for the neighborhood buy nothing group and a couple of people's posts (yours included). I'm a bit more active on Insta than i was, also following a lot of Philly arts/business accounts there
	11:58pm erik(vt): ↳ ultradamno @11:09 Oh dang - outta time … wanted to go over all the band names of Joy Division wannabees !? “The Sound” was one that I quickly learned to appreciate and eventually like a lot; (Especially the early albums). Others ?
	🥁 ♥ 11:58pm _Ike_: Thanks Rich!
	♥ 11:59pm ultradamno: ↳ erik(vt) @11:58 Interpol and Editors were the big ones...but there were a bunch
	♥ 12:00am Yvang: Thanks Rich! My radio is not broken yet, but my microwave is.
	♥ 12:00am Kat in the chat: another excellent show, Rich. Pylon 4ever
	♥ 12:00am WR: You said what you had to say, and you got 6 minutes to go as you know, thanks for it all. Laters all.
	♥ 12:01am Rich in Washington: Thanks for listening everyone!
	♥ 12:01am Kat in the chat: good night and good weekend everybody! rain ALL weekend here. I might actually sign into work :( :( :(
	12:01am (erik vt): Some of those Pylon live in-concert videos are a riot to finally have a look see.
	♥ 12:02am Kat in the chat: ↳ (erik vt) @12:01 I gotta spend some time with those
	♥ 12:03am Aitch: Thanks Rich!
	♥ 12:03am Kat in the chat: couldn't resist, huh Rich
	🥁 ♥ 12:03am _Ike_: A goddamn dog dying?!
	♥ 12:03am Kat in the chat: S N U G G L E S
	12:04am Dean: Casey, could you please play "Now I Wanna Be Your Dog" and dedicate to our dog Shannon?
	♥ 12:05am ultradamno: Snuggles From Cincinnati should have been a band by now
	♥ 12:06am Kat in the chat: I do enjoy Henry Gross's falsetto though
	♥ 12:07am ultradamno: Better or worse than Firefall?
	♥ 12:07am Kat in the chat: ↳ ultradamno @12:07 I don't think he ever took his shirt off on an album cover
	♥ 12:08am Kat in the chat: That was Firefall, right?
	♥ 12:09am Rich in Washington: 'night everyone! Thanks for listening and commenting! Sweet dreams!
	♥ 12:09am ultradamno: Wait I was thinking of Michael Martin...I always think Wildfire was Firefall
	♥ 12:09am Kat in the chat: no it was Orleans I think
	♥ 12:10am Kat in the chat: time for bed, lol
	♥ 12:11am ultradamno: Err, Michael Murphy
