	🥁 9:03pm Aitch: ↳ ultradamno @9:01 One of them has had too much heroin
	9:03pm ironybread: Harlan Ellison and his short story "The Prowler in the City at the Edge of the World" would like to remind you: NOOOOOWWWW! NOW IT BEGINS!!!!
	9:03pm pot8o: hi everyone!
	9:05pm Rich in Washington: Hello!
	9:05pm tom tom the pipers son: hello rich and people.... i think the guy in red has at least one breast implant, maybe just an "a" cup. is/ was that the future? post- trans?
	9:06pm Ike: Greetings, humans.
	9:06pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "The Future" by "The Evolution Control Committee" ECC is always appropriate.
	9:06pm Rich in Washington: greetings from the future
	9:06pm ultradamno: “Scientists are saying the future is going to be far more futuristic than they originally predicted.”
	9:07pm Rich in Washington: I don't remember what this track comes from. I believe I downloaded it off ECC's website many years ago but now it's gone (the mp3, not the website).
	9:07pm Webhamster Henry: We on the east coast are 3 hours in the future.
	9:08pm ironybread: hiiiiiiiiiiiiii ike
	9:08pm Rich in Washington: Aitch is REALLY in the future
	9:08pm Robm: greetings ike
	9:10pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:05 well i'm exaggerating a bit
	9:10pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Skit" by "David Letterman, Ken Berry, Elaine Booz... if only this was the future
	🥁 9:11pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:08 +16 hours. 19 to where Rich is. Even after all these years a mind-bend figuring the schedule
	9:11pm ironybread: #WhyYou
	9:11pm Rich in Washington: This episode was brilliant.
	9:11pm pot8o: I'd kill to work 2 hrs a day for 3 days a week and be able to afford a house or afford a house at all
	9:11pm tom tom the pipers son: get laugh in audience
	9:12pm ironybread: Aitch, to us in California, you are "8 hours ago, but tomorrow".
	9:12pm Rich in Washington: that ridiculous stand-out laugh in the laugh track. They nailed bad 70s American TV.
	9:12pm tom tom the pipers son: great
	9:12pm Robm: @Rich is this mamas family?
	9:12pm ultradamno: This skit did not predict viagra
	9:12pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Robm @9:12 LOL
	9:12pm Robm: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:12 it was a serious question
	9:13pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Robm @9:12 are you on the phone app? It's an old Letterman show.
	9:14pm Robm: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:13 yes just looked it up sorry my bad
	9:15pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Robm @9:14 no worries!
	🥁 9:16pm Aitch: ↳ ironybread @9:12 You land in LA the same time you left, but it takes 2 days to fly home. Discombobulating, then there's still another 5 hour flight to NYC.
	9:17pm tom tom the pipers son: that album cover more grotesque than basil wolverton
	9:17pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "My Man Is Gone Now" by "Wolfgang Dauner Quintet" this sounds like what happens if you took every genre that was popular in the late 60s and smashed them all together, and i love it
	9:18pm Robm: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:15 thanks
	9:19pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Robm @9:12 I remember Mama's Family seeming like it was in syndication for 100 years but could never remember what network it was actually on.
	9:19pm Jeff Golick: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:17 it is extremely not appealing-looking [enter lenny & sqiggy] hello
	9:20pm Rich in Washington: according to Discogs, the painting was by drummer Roland Wittich and Dauner.
	9:21pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Jeff Golick @9:19 hi jeff...yes...ha!
	9:21pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Jeff Golick @9:19 Hi Jeff!
	9:22pm ultradamno: I remember I Remember Mama....one of the more unimpressive sentiments to become a movie title. She's your mom, of course you do...
	9:23pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ ultradamno @9:22 "rhymes" mentally with "my friend flicka"
	9:24pm ultradamno: I've never been more intimidated by kid than the teens in the Wal Mart parking lot blasting Sweet Caroline....you do that, you are capable of anything.
	9:27pm ironybread: Oh gosh, David would know from summer replacement shows...ever seen the very dodgy Starland Vocal Band Show, featuring David and Proctor & Bergman? Oy gevalt...
	9:28pm TDK60: Hi Rich.
	9:28pm Rich in Washington: ↳ TDK60 @9:28 Hi TDK!
	9:29pm tom tom the pipers son: the stooges in '88...?
	9:29pm ultradamno: www.discogs.com...
	9:29pm Rich in Washington: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:29 that's when the record was released.
	9:30pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Head On" by "Iggy & The Stooges" Oh yeah. This is the live show when Iggy says "thanks" for the thrown bottles.
	9:30pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ironybread @9:27 Yeah, I imagine that episode was rather emetic for Dave, having written FOR terrible TV shows in his past.
	9:30pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:29 oh i thought it was advertising an appearance...:(
	9:31pm ultradamno: Revenge has an extraordinary run of Stooges demos and stuff around that time...Rubber Legs was a good one
	9:31pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @9:31 Yep. It's up next.
	🥁 9:31pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Head On" by "Iggy & The Stooges" Love my Iggy records, but I haven't got these ones. Nice Rich!
	9:32pm ultradamno: ...or rehearsal stuff. They notoriously were kept from playing live by Mainman around that time and just rehearsed constantly.
	9:32pm tom tom the pipers son: remember liking heavy liquid of of this...
	9:33pm Rich in Washington: Yes, this is the OG release of Metallic 'KO, rather than the blown out reissue. I have them both but only recently reacquired this one. It was among the many records I've had disappear after house parties when I was younger.
	9:33pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @9:32 (around that time being the Williamson period when those were recorded)
	🥁 9:34pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Head On" by "Iggy & The Stooges" This is the business
	9:34pm ultradamno: Third Man's Goose Lake album is really good too
	9:34pm tom tom the pipers son: ashton doing duty on bass
	9:34pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Head On" by "Iggy & The Stooges" or a guy who was reluctantly pushed onto to bass, Ron does an amazing job tearin' it up on this track.
	9:38pm ultradamno: I was kind of thinking of this one, but it was put out by Fan Club not Revenge www.discogs.com...
	9:39pm tom tom the pipers son: speaking of letterman, there's a great 90's performance by iggy pop performing a song titled "you're wearing a mask"
	9:39pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @9:38 I remember that one. I never had it tho.
	🥁 9:41pm Aitch: For one of the best records ever, the sound on Raw Power is shit and I think Bowie mixed it. Hope Peter Jackson likes the Stooges...
	9:42pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Aitch @9:41 what's the jackson/ stooges connection...?
	9:43pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @9:41 I've heard the Iggy remix and the Bowie mix. I do wish they'd give someone else a chance, but it's still top drawer for me.
	9:43pm ultradamno: ↳ Aitch @9:41 Another Mainman decision. They didn't like all the piercing highs and Bowie was kind brought in to fix it. Search & Destroy was the one track left as Iggy mixed it.
	🥁 9:44pm WR: Hello Rich and folks. Have been listening while wrapping up work.
	9:44pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @9:43 I just think Iggy's remix on one of the reissues just validated Bowie's mix IMO.
	9:44pm Rich in Washington: ↳ WR @9:44 Hi WR!
	9:45pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:44 My understanding is Iggy's is the original mix, Bowie's is the remix (or "recorded by")
	🥁 9:45pm WR: I just finished reading Thurston Moore Sonic Life book.
	9:46pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @9:45 ...according to Iggy's 'autodiscography" in Trouser Press
	9:46pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @9:45 are you sure? I always thought it was the other way 'round. Maybe I'm wrong.
	🥁 9:46pm Aitch: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:42 He's the restoring things guru. I love Raw Power, but it sounds like a tape of a tape that's been played on a cheap Walkman
	9:46pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:46 Sorry David Bowie.
	9:48pm Rich in Washington: Raw Power's one of my all time faves (even though I prefer Funhouse) but there are things on the mix that grate for me - the really shrill mix on solo guitars and how they sound very 'punched in', like not even part of the mix IMO.
	9:48pm ultradamno: Yeah I distinctly remember the line about how he got them to leave S&D alone because he loved it so much...he thought the treble bursts were like a cup of coffee...he may have remixed it again in an attempt to restore though, I'm not sure about that
	🥁 9:49pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:48 A flawed masterpiece, but still a masterpiece.
	🥁 9:49pm WR: ↳ ultradamno @9:45 Bowie's mix is what was released on Columbia back in the day. Iggy did a remix remaster release not too long ago. ummm reading the cover, in 2010.
	9:50pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @9:49 without a doubt. The album that really launched a thousand bands.
	9:50pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Aitch @9:46 too bad, i wonder what the masters are like... maybe they should pick someone young w/o nostalgia for the music or maybe the problems with the physical material
	9:50pm Rich in Washington: ↳ WR @9:49 That's what I've always thought but my memory's shit nowadays.
	9:51pm ultradamno: ↳ WR @9:49 It was what was released, but Iggy originally did the mix and the Mainman rejected it and got Bowie to redo it, is what I'm saying.
	9:51pm Rich in Washington: Full disclosure: I'm playing some leftovers from last night's show on KBOO.
	9:52pm Rich in Washington: and some recent record store purchases
	9:53pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @9:51 ah. That makes even more sense. Plus, add two coke (etc.) addled brains in the same studio. It's a wonder it survived at all.
	🥁 9:54pm WR: ↳ ultradamno @9:51 ah, right, now we on the same page.
	9:54pm ultradamno: I love both albums and respect Williamson basically inventing modern punk buzzsaw guitar, but very much a Fun House/Asheton partisan
	9:55pm tom tom the pipers son: i got a right is one of my favorite stooges songs
	🥁 9:55pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:53 I think that was the problem, they were doing a bit too much white powder frolicking and the actual take recordings weren't done very well
	9:56pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @9:54 He really did. What a revelation. I used to think it was Johnny Ramone and when I heard I Got A Right it blew me away. Crazy shit.
	9:56pm ultradamno: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:55 I Got A Right/Gimme Some Skin/Sick Of You are really THE testament to that period's greatness
	9:57pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @9:56 but what a mess they were. There are some funny stories about the Iggy/Williamson crash and burn. Iggy in nazi regalia, etc.
	9:57pm Rich in Washington: James Williamson later went into music production, etc.
	9:57pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ ultradamno @9:56 agree on funhouse, it has more depth
	🥁 9:58pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Rock 'n' Roll" by "Lou Reed" One of the better live albums for me, especially the killer dual-guitar intro.
	9:59pm ironybread: I just wish someone would give my mix of "Raw Power" a chance; it's obvious what it needed was to have the whole thing go through a phone filter.
	9:59pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:57 idk if heroin gives you more depth than coke
	10:00pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:57 I know Asheton like to wear the SS uniform too...there was a lot ironic nazi fetishism leading into the punk era
	10:00pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ironybread @9:59 I think they tried that with I Got A Right but you gotta try!
	🥁 10:00pm Aitch: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:59 6 feet usually
	10:00pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Aitch @10:00 true
	10:02pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ ultradamno @10:00 they were holding up a mirror to the audience
	10:03pm Rich in Washington: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:02 it was the only way they could hold up a mirror without trying to snort a rail off of it
	10:03pm ironybread: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:03 HA
	10:04pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:03 ha!
	10:04pm ultradamno: Seems like I got an email from Cuneiform about a big Soft Machine boxset coming but I can't find anything about it now...
	10:06pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @10:04 you dreamt it. I do that all the time! I dreamt about a Sparks/Carol Channing album and - spoiler alert: it never happened!
	10:07pm ultradamno: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:02 ...and there was a certain base level of agreement about what people thought of it. Nowadays if you did Springtime For Hitler you'd expect a third of the US audience to be charmed by it.
	🥁 10:08pm WR: ↳ ultradamno @10:04 Not a big box set, but a multidisc issue. They sent the email by mistake, said, whoops, not sure when it will be issued. Coming soon.
	10:08pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ ultradamno @10:07 lost art of irony, it takes thinking
	10:08pm Erik (VT): I quite like the Triple Echo version of Moon in June - i forget what it’s derivation scenario is.
	10:09pm ultradamno: Yeah, I did misremember the scope, but I found the email "Soft Machine - Høvikodden 1971 : 4 x vinyl lps in heavy slip case (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed)"
	🥁 10:10pm WR: ↳ ultradamno @10:09 yep.
	10:11pm Erik (VT): @UltraD: have you seen that new Nicolas Cage feature film DREAM SCENARIO (2023) yet ? Just got back from a theatrical screening … so Good and wacked ! Ari Aster co-produced.
	10:12pm tom tom the pipers son: this fuzz bass line is classic
	10:12pm Rich in Washington: I really need to check out more of the post-Wyatt era of Soft Machine. I have a few of them but for some reason find them somewhat impenetrable.
	10:12pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:12 or was that ratledge?
	🥁 10:13pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Moon In June" by "Soft Machine" Liking this, haven't heard it
	10:13pm Rich in Washington: I think it's still Hugh. When did he leave?
	10:14pm tom tom the pipers son: nice non fuzz bass here nevertheless
	10:15pm Rich in Washington: It's Hugh. Or at least he plays on the album. His solo debut 1984 is pretty trippy. I should play it sometime.
	10:16pm Dean: Hugh Hopper with Isotope needs more airplay.
	🥁 10:16pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:15 yes please
	10:16pm ultradamno: ↳ Erik (VT) @10:11 I haven't. Kind of sounds like a Black Mirror premise...which could be great. Suitable Flesh just added on Shudder, planning to watch that shortly
	10:17pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:15 i was actually wondering if the fuzz bass was ratledge on synth because the fuzzy stuff blended right into synth
	10:17pm ironybread: BTW, not kidding about the Poco thing, Rich. Would be happy to give you a WAV file for next week's show where I play every single Poco song at once
	10:17pm Erik (VT): HH left after “SIX” 1973 (not on “SEVEN”? -Also 1973? -i guess).
	10:17pm ironybread: (This is me getting very stupid at the end of a Friday night.)
	10:17pm tom tom the pipers son: un poco loco
	10:18pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ironybread @10:17 I could pull that off. I have a DAW that can support 1,600 tracks but not sure if my computer's logic board can handle it.
	10:20pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:12 i believe i've heard good post wyatt machine on the explores room, maybe ask evan for a rec
	10:23pm Rich in Washington: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:20 From what I've gleaned it's actually pretty good but I guess b/c I'm such a Wyatt fan I haven't given it a fair shake? I plan on checking it out more though.
	10:26pm tom tom the pipers son: RE: gleaning...prob a way to separate the wheat from the chaff...;)
	10:29pm Rich in Washington: I should go back and listen again but it seemed like the more it was solely Rattledge, the more it sounded like straight Fusion stuff to me but maybe it was me expecting something it wasn't.
	10:32pm ultradamno: And, as TV and movies have taught us, if the water hits a keyboard there will be sparks and all the electricity will go out.
	🥁 10:33pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:29 Somebody told me to far cough this morning and he seemed mad about something, and I wasn't even coughing?
	10:34pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:29 did a playlist search for soft machine, found chloe and the pirates off of six, maybe give a spin...
	10:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Man Of Few Syllables" by "Big Flame" great stuff pretty skronk-y
	🥁 10:36pm WR: attack me, baby, with that comp
	10:45pm Erik (VT): Circa 1981(?) - After my utter WYATT fixation commenced with hearing his CHIC cover of “at last I am free” from significant at the time “Wanna Buy a Bridge” compilation …. Then Wyatt’s “nothing can stop us” Lp. I launched into entire career. I’m not a huge fan of Softs past “FOURTH”, but recommend to keep going one by one until yer ‘noisey jazz fusioned-out’. There have been so many bootlegs now officially released in quality sound from the vintage era - that i find those send me farther than the post 1972 era.
	🥁 10:45pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Sharper and Wider" by "The Creepers" Love this
	10:48pm tom tom the pipers son: dudes often the drummers in all girl bands, let the boys do the heavy lifting lugging the kit around
	10:49pm Erik (VT): Re Soft Machine :, some of the Live Concert sets can be surprisingly good !
	10:49pm ultradamno: Except The Dicks...guys with a girl drummer (at the time I saw them, anyhow)
	10:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "This Town (Acoustic)" by "The June Brides" twee?
	10:50pm ultradamno: Yeah...this comp is all over the place
	10:51pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ ultradamno @10:49 oh, figures dicks would be exceptionalists...;)
	🥁 10:51pm Aitch: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:49 wet?
	10:53pm tom tom the pipers son: as in blanket? or as in a limp noodle?
	10:57pm tom tom the pipers son: the presenter has made me laugh a couple of times
	11:00pm pot8o: the presenter should introduce every comp ever
	11:00pm Rich in Washington: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:57 I think it's hilarious and a great idea for doing a comp.
	11:03pm tom tom the pipers son: roses ha!
	🥁 11:03pm WR: ↳ Song: "Everything's Coming Up Roses" by "The Legend!" speechless over that.
	11:04pm pot8o: this is horrifyingly off topic but I've been moving my records from one end of the bookshelf to the other and I've completely forgot how much of a royal pain in the ass it is especially if you're like me and the shelves are all slightly too short for records and is one hard gust away from falling over
	11:06pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @11:04 trying moving them 20 miles and into an upstairs apartment.
	11:06pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ pot8o @11:04 a record collection may be more of a commitment than having a dog
	11:06pm Erik (VT): … wait, is the presenter (not) John Peel ?! Of BBC radio 📻 fame …
	11:07pm Rich in Washington: It really is. I can now fully appreciate why so many of my friends have digitized their collections and sold off their records.
	🥁 11:07pm Aitch: I'd love to hear a show he's made for now, just looked he's still busy. en.wikipedia.org...
	11:08pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:06 that sounds like a nightmare and a half
	11:08pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Erik (VT) @11:06 I think he's talking about the presenter. It's someone named Ted Chippington, whoever that is.
	11:09pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @11:08 It sucked. I hope I never have to do it again but probably will someday.
	11:09pm Erik (VT): When that USA & commercially domestic STUMP album arrived (a fierce pancake ?) I was more than surprised how avant & “beefhearty” it was.
	11:10pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Aitch @11:07 funny..."101 Albums You Should Die Before You Hear, a critique of the sacred cows of the rock music canon"
	11:11pm Rich in Washington: Oh look: en.wikipedia.org...
	🥁 11:11pm Aitch: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:10 Always some good book lernin' on Rich's show
	11:13pm Rich in Washington: sounds like he's sort of a contemporary of Alexei Sayles, etc. I will check this bloke out.
	🥁 11:14pm Zip7: Hi Rich and Breakers! Sorry to have missed Iggy and the Softs. "A mixture of surrealism and insolent provocation and uncompromising boredom" -- sounds like Tony Clifton
	11:14pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Erik (VT) @11:09 I've owned that record more than once and for some reason it didn't stick. I dunno why. Another group I need to give another shot.
	11:14pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Zip7 @11:14 Hi Zip!
	11:15pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:11 made me think a little of steven wright in the description, but i like him more...classic british piss takes
	11:23pm Erik (VT): ↳ Rich in Washington @11:14 Yea I get that - I struggled with it as well (back in the day). Like to hear the Peel Sessions for STUMP (sometimes they peel’s solve the riddles !)
	🥁 11:23pm Aitch: Enjoyed that mix
	🥁 11:24pm Aitch: ↳ Aitch @11:23 and funny host
	🥁 11:25pm Zip7: "101 Albums You Should Die Before You Hear" is the best book title I've seen in awhile. I must find this.
	11:25pm ironybread: Here's our Ted: www.discogs.com...
	11:25pm Erik (VT): Tanks folks for all the info - appreciated. Will look into : Ev True, Ted Chipped beefington, and all this learning.
	🥁 11:25pm WR: yes, enjoyed that comp with the compere.
	11:29pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Zip7 @11:25 I should write "100 records I own and if you take them from me you will die"
	11:30pm ultradamno: Seems like I heard BMX Bandits somewhere recently...
	11:31pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @11:30 I wonder if more than one group has taken that name.
	11:32pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:31 Oh perhaps not. They appeared to be rather prolific.
	11:32pm Erik (VT): ↳ Rich in Washington @11:14 Re STUMP; warning: if you want beefheart - go to 🥩 🫀! Stump definitely doesn’t quite scratch that itch. They are an amalgam vibe of disjointed possibilities. Gel-Quotient = jury still out.
	11:33pm ironybread: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:29 Yes, please write this for Maggot Brain!
	11:33pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Erik (VT) @11:32 I have Fierce Pancake and a few others and I keep meaning to give them a deep dive.
	11:33pm ultradamno: Apparently a group called The Papers has a song called that www.discogs.com...
	11:35pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ ultradamno @11:30 they've been played a lot on wake
	11:36pm Erik (VT): ↳ Zip7 @11:25 Agreed! - thanks so much ‘tttps’ for the suggestion… yet does that brilliant concept of a book really exist ?!? - I must have/find that book📕.
	11:38pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Erik (VT) @11:36 yes jerry thackray, who we heard before, wrote it
	🥁 11:40pm Zip7: Just got it on Kindle. Astral Weeks: "Van Morrison? He is the king of Celtic Soul, right? Celtic Arse-soul."
	11:40pm tom tom the pipers son: i was walking down the road when a violinist comes up to me and says"do you want to buy my violin" i say 'no i'm not into violence"
	11:43pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Zip7 @11:40 LOL!
	11:44pm Erik (VT): ↳ Zip7 @11:40 🫀 that it ♾️ …. Im stoked to order this via my local wonderful indy bookstore !
	🥁 11:47pm Zip7: Born to Run: "Bruce is a rock star. Bruce says baby we were born to run. Run Bruce, run!"
	11:49pm Erik (VT): Anybody listen to “miniatures vol 2” ( I fell in love with vol 1 - but never knew until several years ago that vol 2 existed). Does is companion the first , well enough ?!?
	11:51pm ironybread: ↳ Erik (VT) @11:49 Honestly I thought Vol. 2 was a bit meh. Hard to compete with Vol. 1 really
	11:53pm Rich in Washington: Yeah, it's rather 90s sounding to me. A worthy effort but as ironybread says, probably suffers in comparison.
	11:54pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:53 also, they seemed to have abandoned the 1 minute thing which made the original so fun.
	11:55pm Erik (VT): OK ✅ - input appreciated! - did morgan fisher still curate it all though ?
	11:56pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Erik (VT) @11:55 Yes, I believe so. It's not BAD by any means and worth checking out. I've been meaning to give it another spin.
	🥁 11:56pm Aitch: Show went quick, much done during, intriguing sounds, thanks Rich
	11:56pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @11:56 Thanks, Aitch!
	11:58pm Erik (VT): Between the Residents Commercial Album & Miniatures - they covered all my cassette making needs.
	11:58pm pot8o: thanks rich! have a great week everyone!
	11:58pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks rich...
	11:58pm ironybread: Another glistening box of bonbons tonight, Rich!
	🥁 11:58pm Zip7: Really enjoyed what I heard of the show, Rich! I gotta clear out my Friday nights again
	🥁 12:01am Zip7: The fridge, too
	12:01am Rich in Washington: Thanks everybody!
	12:01am Erik (VT): ↳ Aitch @11:56 Thanks so much Rich 🤑 (hahaha) - I’m still reeeeeling , from the self produced lawyer college concept comedy album - that was so stellar ! Gotta get a copy !!!
	12:02am Rich in Washington: Nighty night everyone!

The Radio Is Broken with Rich In Washington: Playlist from January 26, 2024

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

	9:05pm Rich in Washington: Hello!
	9:05pm tom tom the pipers son: hello rich and people.... i think the guy in red has at least one breast implant, maybe just an "a" cup. is/ was that the future? post- trans?
	9:06pm Ike: Greetings, humans.
	9:06pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "The Future" by "The Evolution Control Committee" ECC is always appropriate.
	9:06pm Rich in Washington: greetings from the future
	9:06pm ultradamno: “Scientists are saying the future is going to be far more futuristic than they originally predicted.”
	9:07pm Rich in Washington: I don't remember what this track comes from. I believe I downloaded it off ECC's website many years ago but now it's gone (the mp3, not the website).
	9:07pm Webhamster Henry: We on the east coast are 3 hours in the future.
	9:08pm ironybread: hiiiiiiiiiiiiii ike
	9:08pm Rich in Washington: Aitch is REALLY in the future
	9:08pm Robm: greetings ike
	9:10pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:05 well i'm exaggerating a bit
	9:10pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Skit" by "David Letterman, Ken Berry, Elaine Booz... if only this was the future
	🥁 9:11pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:08 +16 hours. 19 to where Rich is. Even after all these years a mind-bend figuring the schedule
	9:11pm ironybread: #WhyYou
	9:11pm Rich in Washington: This episode was brilliant.
	9:11pm pot8o: I'd kill to work 2 hrs a day for 3 days a week and be able to afford a house or afford a house at all
	9:11pm tom tom the pipers son: get laugh in audience
	9:12pm ironybread: Aitch, to us in California, you are "8 hours ago, but tomorrow".
	9:12pm Rich in Washington: that ridiculous stand-out laugh in the laugh track. They nailed bad 70s American TV.
	9:12pm tom tom the pipers son: great
	9:12pm Robm: @Rich is this mamas family?
	9:12pm ultradamno: This skit did not predict viagra
	9:12pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Robm @9:12 LOL
	9:12pm Robm: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:12 it was a serious question
	9:13pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Robm @9:12 are you on the phone app? It's an old Letterman show.
	9:14pm Robm: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:13 yes just looked it up sorry my bad
	9:15pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Robm @9:14 no worries!
	🥁 9:16pm Aitch: ↳ ironybread @9:12 You land in LA the same time you left, but it takes 2 days to fly home. Discombobulating, then there's still another 5 hour flight to NYC.
	9:17pm tom tom the pipers son: that album cover more grotesque than basil wolverton
	9:17pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "My Man Is Gone Now" by "Wolfgang Dauner Quintet" this sounds like what happens if you took every genre that was popular in the late 60s and smashed them all together, and i love it
	9:18pm Robm: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:15 thanks
	9:19pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Robm @9:12 I remember Mama's Family seeming like it was in syndication for 100 years but could never remember what network it was actually on.
	9:19pm Jeff Golick: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:17 it is extremely not appealing-looking [enter lenny & sqiggy] hello
	9:20pm Rich in Washington: according to Discogs, the painting was by drummer Roland Wittich and Dauner.
	9:21pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Jeff Golick @9:19 hi jeff...yes...ha!
	9:21pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Jeff Golick @9:19 Hi Jeff!
	9:22pm ultradamno: I remember I Remember Mama....one of the more unimpressive sentiments to become a movie title. She's your mom, of course you do...
	9:23pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ ultradamno @9:22 "rhymes" mentally with "my friend flicka"
	9:24pm ultradamno: I've never been more intimidated by kid than the teens in the Wal Mart parking lot blasting Sweet Caroline....you do that, you are capable of anything.
	9:27pm ironybread: Oh gosh, David would know from summer replacement shows...ever seen the very dodgy Starland Vocal Band Show, featuring David and Proctor & Bergman? Oy gevalt...
	9:28pm TDK60: Hi Rich.
	9:28pm Rich in Washington: ↳ TDK60 @9:28 Hi TDK!
	9:29pm tom tom the pipers son: the stooges in '88...?
	9:29pm ultradamno: www.discogs.com...
	9:29pm Rich in Washington: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:29 that's when the record was released.
	9:30pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Head On" by "Iggy & The Stooges" Oh yeah. This is the live show when Iggy says "thanks" for the thrown bottles.
	9:30pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ironybread @9:27 Yeah, I imagine that episode was rather emetic for Dave, having written FOR terrible TV shows in his past.
	9:30pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:29 oh i thought it was advertising an appearance...:(
	9:31pm ultradamno: Revenge has an extraordinary run of Stooges demos and stuff around that time...Rubber Legs was a good one
	9:31pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @9:31 Yep. It's up next.
	🥁 9:31pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Head On" by "Iggy & The Stooges" Love my Iggy records, but I haven't got these ones. Nice Rich!
	9:32pm ultradamno: ...or rehearsal stuff. They notoriously were kept from playing live by Mainman around that time and just rehearsed constantly.
	9:32pm tom tom the pipers son: remember liking heavy liquid of of this...
	9:33pm Rich in Washington: Yes, this is the OG release of Metallic 'KO, rather than the blown out reissue. I have them both but only recently reacquired this one. It was among the many records I've had disappear after house parties when I was younger.
	9:33pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @9:32 (around that time being the Williamson period when those were recorded)
	🥁 9:34pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Head On" by "Iggy & The Stooges" This is the business
	9:34pm ultradamno: Third Man's Goose Lake album is really good too
	9:34pm tom tom the pipers son: ashton doing duty on bass
	9:34pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Head On" by "Iggy & The Stooges" or a guy who was reluctantly pushed onto to bass, Ron does an amazing job tearin' it up on this track.
	9:38pm ultradamno: I was kind of thinking of this one, but it was put out by Fan Club not Revenge www.discogs.com...
	9:39pm tom tom the pipers son: speaking of letterman, there's a great 90's performance by iggy pop performing a song titled "you're wearing a mask"
	9:39pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @9:38 I remember that one. I never had it tho.
	🥁 9:41pm Aitch: For one of the best records ever, the sound on Raw Power is shit and I think Bowie mixed it. Hope Peter Jackson likes the Stooges...
	9:42pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Aitch @9:41 what's the jackson/ stooges connection...?
	9:43pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @9:41 I've heard the Iggy remix and the Bowie mix. I do wish they'd give someone else a chance, but it's still top drawer for me.
	9:43pm ultradamno: ↳ Aitch @9:41 Another Mainman decision. They didn't like all the piercing highs and Bowie was kind brought in to fix it. Search & Destroy was the one track left as Iggy mixed it.
	🥁 9:44pm WR: Hello Rich and folks. Have been listening while wrapping up work.
	9:44pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @9:43 I just think Iggy's remix on one of the reissues just validated Bowie's mix IMO.
	9:44pm Rich in Washington: ↳ WR @9:44 Hi WR!
	9:45pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:44 My understanding is Iggy's is the original mix, Bowie's is the remix (or "recorded by")
	🥁 9:45pm WR: I just finished reading Thurston Moore Sonic Life book.
	9:46pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @9:45 ...according to Iggy's 'autodiscography" in Trouser Press
	9:46pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @9:45 are you sure? I always thought it was the other way 'round. Maybe I'm wrong.
	🥁 9:46pm Aitch: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:42 He's the restoring things guru. I love Raw Power, but it sounds like a tape of a tape that's been played on a cheap Walkman
	9:46pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:46 Sorry David Bowie.
	9:48pm Rich in Washington: Raw Power's one of my all time faves (even though I prefer Funhouse) but there are things on the mix that grate for me - the really shrill mix on solo guitars and how they sound very 'punched in', like not even part of the mix IMO.
	9:48pm ultradamno: Yeah I distinctly remember the line about how he got them to leave S&D alone because he loved it so much...he thought the treble bursts were like a cup of coffee...he may have remixed it again in an attempt to restore though, I'm not sure about that
	🥁 9:49pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:48 A flawed masterpiece, but still a masterpiece.
	🥁 9:49pm WR: ↳ ultradamno @9:45 Bowie's mix is what was released on Columbia back in the day. Iggy did a remix remaster release not too long ago. ummm reading the cover, in 2010.
	9:50pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @9:49 without a doubt. The album that really launched a thousand bands.
	9:50pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Aitch @9:46 too bad, i wonder what the masters are like... maybe they should pick someone young w/o nostalgia for the music or maybe the problems with the physical material
	9:50pm Rich in Washington: ↳ WR @9:49 That's what I've always thought but my memory's shit nowadays.
	9:51pm ultradamno: ↳ WR @9:49 It was what was released, but Iggy originally did the mix and the Mainman rejected it and got Bowie to redo it, is what I'm saying.
	9:51pm Rich in Washington: Full disclosure: I'm playing some leftovers from last night's show on KBOO.
	9:52pm Rich in Washington: and some recent record store purchases
	9:53pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @9:51 ah. That makes even more sense. Plus, add two coke (etc.) addled brains in the same studio. It's a wonder it survived at all.
	🥁 9:54pm WR: ↳ ultradamno @9:51 ah, right, now we on the same page.
	9:54pm ultradamno: I love both albums and respect Williamson basically inventing modern punk buzzsaw guitar, but very much a Fun House/Asheton partisan
	9:55pm tom tom the pipers son: i got a right is one of my favorite stooges songs
	🥁 9:55pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:53 I think that was the problem, they were doing a bit too much white powder frolicking and the actual take recordings weren't done very well
	9:56pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @9:54 He really did. What a revelation. I used to think it was Johnny Ramone and when I heard I Got A Right it blew me away. Crazy shit.
	9:56pm ultradamno: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:55 I Got A Right/Gimme Some Skin/Sick Of You are really THE testament to that period's greatness
	9:57pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @9:56 but what a mess they were. There are some funny stories about the Iggy/Williamson crash and burn. Iggy in nazi regalia, etc.
	9:57pm Rich in Washington: James Williamson later went into music production, etc.
	9:57pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ ultradamno @9:56 agree on funhouse, it has more depth
	🥁 9:58pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Rock 'n' Roll" by "Lou Reed" One of the better live albums for me, especially the killer dual-guitar intro.
	9:59pm ironybread: I just wish someone would give my mix of "Raw Power" a chance; it's obvious what it needed was to have the whole thing go through a phone filter.
	9:59pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:57 idk if heroin gives you more depth than coke
	10:00pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:57 I know Asheton like to wear the SS uniform too...there was a lot ironic nazi fetishism leading into the punk era
	10:00pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ironybread @9:59 I think they tried that with I Got A Right but you gotta try!
	🥁 10:00pm Aitch: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @9:59 6 feet usually
	10:00pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Aitch @10:00 true
	10:02pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ ultradamno @10:00 they were holding up a mirror to the audience
	10:03pm Rich in Washington: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:02 it was the only way they could hold up a mirror without trying to snort a rail off of it
	10:03pm ironybread: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:03 HA
	10:04pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:03 ha!
	10:04pm ultradamno: Seems like I got an email from Cuneiform about a big Soft Machine boxset coming but I can't find anything about it now...
	10:06pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @10:04 you dreamt it. I do that all the time! I dreamt about a Sparks/Carol Channing album and - spoiler alert: it never happened!
	10:07pm ultradamno: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:02 ...and there was a certain base level of agreement about what people thought of it. Nowadays if you did Springtime For Hitler you'd expect a third of the US audience to be charmed by it.
	🥁 10:08pm WR: ↳ ultradamno @10:04 Not a big box set, but a multidisc issue. They sent the email by mistake, said, whoops, not sure when it will be issued. Coming soon.
	10:08pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ ultradamno @10:07 lost art of irony, it takes thinking
	10:08pm Erik (VT): I quite like the Triple Echo version of Moon in June - i forget what it’s derivation scenario is.
	10:09pm ultradamno: Yeah, I did misremember the scope, but I found the email "Soft Machine - Høvikodden 1971 : 4 x vinyl lps in heavy slip case (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed)"
	🥁 10:10pm WR: ↳ ultradamno @10:09 yep.
	10:11pm Erik (VT): @UltraD: have you seen that new Nicolas Cage feature film DREAM SCENARIO (2023) yet ? Just got back from a theatrical screening … so Good and wacked ! Ari Aster co-produced.
	10:12pm tom tom the pipers son: this fuzz bass line is classic
	10:12pm Rich in Washington: I really need to check out more of the post-Wyatt era of Soft Machine. I have a few of them but for some reason find them somewhat impenetrable.
	10:12pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:12 or was that ratledge?
	🥁 10:13pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Moon In June" by "Soft Machine" Liking this, haven't heard it
	10:13pm Rich in Washington: I think it's still Hugh. When did he leave?
	10:14pm tom tom the pipers son: nice non fuzz bass here nevertheless
	10:15pm Rich in Washington: It's Hugh. Or at least he plays on the album. His solo debut 1984 is pretty trippy. I should play it sometime.
	10:16pm Dean: Hugh Hopper with Isotope needs more airplay.
	🥁 10:16pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:15 yes please
	10:16pm ultradamno: ↳ Erik (VT) @10:11 I haven't. Kind of sounds like a Black Mirror premise...which could be great. Suitable Flesh just added on Shudder, planning to watch that shortly
	10:17pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:15 i was actually wondering if the fuzz bass was ratledge on synth because the fuzzy stuff blended right into synth
	10:17pm ironybread: BTW, not kidding about the Poco thing, Rich. Would be happy to give you a WAV file for next week's show where I play every single Poco song at once
	10:17pm Erik (VT): HH left after “SIX” 1973 (not on “SEVEN”? -Also 1973? -i guess).
	10:17pm ironybread: (This is me getting very stupid at the end of a Friday night.)
	10:17pm tom tom the pipers son: un poco loco
	10:18pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ironybread @10:17 I could pull that off. I have a DAW that can support 1,600 tracks but not sure if my computer's logic board can handle it.
	10:20pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:12 i believe i've heard good post wyatt machine on the explores room, maybe ask evan for a rec
	10:23pm Rich in Washington: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:20 From what I've gleaned it's actually pretty good but I guess b/c I'm such a Wyatt fan I haven't given it a fair shake? I plan on checking it out more though.
	10:26pm tom tom the pipers son: RE: gleaning...prob a way to separate the wheat from the chaff...;)
	10:29pm Rich in Washington: I should go back and listen again but it seemed like the more it was solely Rattledge, the more it sounded like straight Fusion stuff to me but maybe it was me expecting something it wasn't.
	10:32pm ultradamno: And, as TV and movies have taught us, if the water hits a keyboard there will be sparks and all the electricity will go out.
	🥁 10:33pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:29 Somebody told me to far cough this morning and he seemed mad about something, and I wasn't even coughing?
	10:34pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:29 did a playlist search for soft machine, found chloe and the pirates off of six, maybe give a spin...
	10:36pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Man Of Few Syllables" by "Big Flame" great stuff pretty skronk-y
	🥁 10:36pm WR: attack me, baby, with that comp
	10:45pm Erik (VT): Circa 1981(?) - After my utter WYATT fixation commenced with hearing his CHIC cover of “at last I am free” from significant at the time “Wanna Buy a Bridge” compilation …. Then Wyatt’s “nothing can stop us” Lp. I launched into entire career. I’m not a huge fan of Softs past “FOURTH”, but recommend to keep going one by one until yer ‘noisey jazz fusioned-out’. There have been so many bootlegs now officially released in quality sound from the vintage era - that i find those send me farther than the post 1972 era.
	🥁 10:45pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Sharper and Wider" by "The Creepers" Love this
	10:48pm tom tom the pipers son: dudes often the drummers in all girl bands, let the boys do the heavy lifting lugging the kit around
	10:49pm Erik (VT): Re Soft Machine :, some of the Live Concert sets can be surprisingly good !
	10:49pm ultradamno: Except The Dicks...guys with a girl drummer (at the time I saw them, anyhow)
	10:49pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "This Town (Acoustic)" by "The June Brides" twee?
	10:50pm ultradamno: Yeah...this comp is all over the place
	10:51pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ ultradamno @10:49 oh, figures dicks would be exceptionalists...;)
	🥁 10:51pm Aitch: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:49 wet?
	10:53pm tom tom the pipers son: as in blanket? or as in a limp noodle?
	10:57pm tom tom the pipers son: the presenter has made me laugh a couple of times
	11:00pm pot8o: the presenter should introduce every comp ever
	11:00pm Rich in Washington: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:57 I think it's hilarious and a great idea for doing a comp.
	11:03pm tom tom the pipers son: roses ha!
	🥁 11:03pm WR: ↳ Song: "Everything's Coming Up Roses" by "The Legend!" speechless over that.
	11:04pm pot8o: this is horrifyingly off topic but I've been moving my records from one end of the bookshelf to the other and I've completely forgot how much of a royal pain in the ass it is especially if you're like me and the shelves are all slightly too short for records and is one hard gust away from falling over
	11:06pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @11:04 trying moving them 20 miles and into an upstairs apartment.
	11:06pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ pot8o @11:04 a record collection may be more of a commitment than having a dog
	11:06pm Erik (VT): … wait, is the presenter (not) John Peel ?! Of BBC radio 📻 fame …
	11:07pm Rich in Washington: It really is. I can now fully appreciate why so many of my friends have digitized their collections and sold off their records.
	🥁 11:07pm Aitch: I'd love to hear a show he's made for now, just looked he's still busy. en.wikipedia.org...
	11:08pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:06 that sounds like a nightmare and a half
	11:08pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Erik (VT) @11:06 I think he's talking about the presenter. It's someone named Ted Chippington, whoever that is.
	11:09pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @11:08 It sucked. I hope I never have to do it again but probably will someday.
	11:09pm Erik (VT): When that USA & commercially domestic STUMP album arrived (a fierce pancake ?) I was more than surprised how avant & “beefhearty” it was.
	11:10pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Aitch @11:07 funny..."101 Albums You Should Die Before You Hear, a critique of the sacred cows of the rock music canon"
	11:11pm Rich in Washington: Oh look: en.wikipedia.org...
	🥁 11:11pm Aitch: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:10 Always some good book lernin' on Rich's show
	11:13pm Rich in Washington: sounds like he's sort of a contemporary of Alexei Sayles, etc. I will check this bloke out.
	🥁 11:14pm Zip7: Hi Rich and Breakers! Sorry to have missed Iggy and the Softs. "A mixture of surrealism and insolent provocation and uncompromising boredom" -- sounds like Tony Clifton
	11:14pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Erik (VT) @11:09 I've owned that record more than once and for some reason it didn't stick. I dunno why. Another group I need to give another shot.
	11:14pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Zip7 @11:14 Hi Zip!
	11:15pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:11 made me think a little of steven wright in the description, but i like him more...classic british piss takes
	11:23pm Erik (VT): ↳ Rich in Washington @11:14 Yea I get that - I struggled with it as well (back in the day). Like to hear the Peel Sessions for STUMP (sometimes they peel’s solve the riddles !)
	🥁 11:23pm Aitch: Enjoyed that mix
	🥁 11:24pm Aitch: ↳ Aitch @11:23 and funny host
	🥁 11:25pm Zip7: "101 Albums You Should Die Before You Hear" is the best book title I've seen in awhile. I must find this.
	11:25pm ironybread: Here's our Ted: www.discogs.com...
	11:25pm Erik (VT): Tanks folks for all the info - appreciated. Will look into : Ev True, Ted Chipped beefington, and all this learning.
	🥁 11:25pm WR: yes, enjoyed that comp with the compere.
	11:29pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Zip7 @11:25 I should write "100 records I own and if you take them from me you will die"
	11:30pm ultradamno: Seems like I heard BMX Bandits somewhere recently...
	11:31pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @11:30 I wonder if more than one group has taken that name.
	11:32pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:31 Oh perhaps not. They appeared to be rather prolific.
	11:32pm Erik (VT): ↳ Rich in Washington @11:14 Re STUMP; warning: if you want beefheart - go to 🥩 🫀! Stump definitely doesn’t quite scratch that itch. They are an amalgam vibe of disjointed possibilities. Gel-Quotient = jury still out.
	11:33pm ironybread: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:29 Yes, please write this for Maggot Brain!
	11:33pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Erik (VT) @11:32 I have Fierce Pancake and a few others and I keep meaning to give them a deep dive.
	11:33pm ultradamno: Apparently a group called The Papers has a song called that www.discogs.com...
	11:35pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ ultradamno @11:30 they've been played a lot on wake
	11:36pm Erik (VT): ↳ Zip7 @11:25 Agreed! - thanks so much ‘tttps’ for the suggestion… yet does that brilliant concept of a book really exist ?!? - I must have/find that book📕.
	11:38pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Erik (VT) @11:36 yes jerry thackray, who we heard before, wrote it
	🥁 11:40pm Zip7: Just got it on Kindle. Astral Weeks: "Van Morrison? He is the king of Celtic Soul, right? Celtic Arse-soul."
	11:40pm tom tom the pipers son: i was walking down the road when a violinist comes up to me and says"do you want to buy my violin" i say 'no i'm not into violence"
	11:43pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Zip7 @11:40 LOL!
	11:44pm Erik (VT): ↳ Zip7 @11:40 🫀 that it ♾️ …. Im stoked to order this via my local wonderful indy bookstore !
	🥁 11:47pm Zip7: Born to Run: "Bruce is a rock star. Bruce says baby we were born to run. Run Bruce, run!"
	11:49pm Erik (VT): Anybody listen to “miniatures vol 2” ( I fell in love with vol 1 - but never knew until several years ago that vol 2 existed). Does is companion the first , well enough ?!?
	11:51pm ironybread: ↳ Erik (VT) @11:49 Honestly I thought Vol. 2 was a bit meh. Hard to compete with Vol. 1 really
	11:53pm Rich in Washington: Yeah, it's rather 90s sounding to me. A worthy effort but as ironybread says, probably suffers in comparison.
	11:54pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:53 also, they seemed to have abandoned the 1 minute thing which made the original so fun.
	11:55pm Erik (VT): OK ✅ - input appreciated! - did morgan fisher still curate it all though ?
	11:56pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Erik (VT) @11:55 Yes, I believe so. It's not BAD by any means and worth checking out. I've been meaning to give it another spin.
	🥁 11:56pm Aitch: Show went quick, much done during, intriguing sounds, thanks Rich
	11:56pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @11:56 Thanks, Aitch!
	11:58pm Erik (VT): Between the Residents Commercial Album & Miniatures - they covered all my cassette making needs.
	11:58pm pot8o: thanks rich! have a great week everyone!
	11:58pm tom tom the pipers son: thanks rich...
	11:58pm ironybread: Another glistening box of bonbons tonight, Rich!
	🥁 11:58pm Zip7: Really enjoyed what I heard of the show, Rich! I gotta clear out my Friday nights again
	🥁 12:01am Zip7: The fridge, too
	12:01am Rich in Washington: Thanks everybody!
	12:01am Erik (VT): ↳ Aitch @11:56 Thanks so much Rich 🤑 (hahaha) - I’m still reeeeeling , from the self produced lawyer college concept comedy album - that was so stellar ! Gotta get a copy !!!
	12:02am Rich in Washington: Nighty night everyone!
