Donald Lautrec	Manon Viens Danser Le Ska	J'Ai Besoin De Ton Amour / Manon Viens Danser Le Ska	Jupiter	1965	Donald Lautrec (born Donald Bourgeois, July 13, 1940, in Jonquière, Quebec) is a Canadian (Quebec) singer and actor. With a friend in 1957, Lautrec created the acrobatic duo, Don and Lee, which performed on trampolines throughout Canada and the United States. He then mixed in the entertainment world by working as a lighting technician, a master of ceremonies in several Montreal cabarets and, for a short time, as a bodyguard to Québécois singer Michel Louvain. In 1964, he popularized the ska, a dance inspired by Jamaican ska with the songs C'est le Ska (That's Ska) and Manon, viens danser le ska (Manon, Come and Dance the Ska). In 1965 and 1966, he grew his success with Tu dis des bêtises (You're Talking Nonsense), Action and Loins dans ma campagne (Deep in My Countryside) which he sang in the movie Pas de vacances pour les idoles (No Holiday for Idols). In 1966 he travelled to France where he participated in television and radio, and received the Newcomer of the Year Award at the Gala des Artistes. He also sang the theme song for Montreal's Expo 67		0:00:37 (Pop-up)
Nudimension	Amour Programmé "Amour Programmé" by "Nudimension"	Amour Programmé 7"	Illusion	1982	"Amour Programmé" is a song by the French Canadian synthpop group Nudimension. Louis Rondeau (known by his stage name "Louie Louie") was originally a drummer and vocalist in 1970s punk band The 222s.[4] In early 1981, the 222s were wound up by the original members. Rondeau states that as a result of that, he wanted to "explore new dimensions in music, and (the emerging genre of) electro would allow him to do that". He teamed up with the 222s assistant manager Marc Fontaine and on 16 June 1982, formed the studio group Nudimension, taking the band's name from his original music concept. The single is in the French language and was recorded at Fountain Studios, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Released by Illusion Records in May 1983, it became a breakthrough single for Nudimension and was the first to feature TV presenter Anne-Marie Cyr on vocals. It achieved moderate success in French-speaking regions of Canada, charting in the top 20 francophone charts. It was also released with a music video created by the band's Marc Fontaine, which was unusual for all but the biggest bands in 1983. The video featured footage shot during one of the band's appearances on Montreal's Musi-Video show and scenes of Louie Louie and Cyr in the studio with basic chromakey overlay effects.		0:02:48 (Pop-up)
Alix Fernz	Muselière "Muselière" by "Alix Fernz"	Bizou	Alix Fernz	2024	Scratchy, contrasting and labyrinthine, songs from Alix Fernz (Montréal, QC) venture deep into post-punk’s scalene enclave, also flirting with hypnagogic pop, resulting in a lo-fi hybrid between synthwave and alternative rock, topped with catchy yet kooky melodies. Singing about bar life, psychosocial disorders, drug, addiction and fear, while drawing inspiration from high heels, lipstick, transvestism, fashion and weirdos, the singer-songwriter lays out along masqued syllabic beats the accounts of a coming-of-age in an era wherein likes and memes are all the rage. Alix Fernz presents a first mostly-francophone full-length, slowly pulling away from English to sing in his mother tongue. Looking to synthesize envy, anguish, anger, revolt and violence into a resolutely positive and tonic serum, he concocts, from the confines of his living quarters, ever-shifting heteroclite pop music that is sometimes innocent, others ironic, but always beautifully abnormal. The Montrealer offers Bizou...	*	0:07:03 (Pop-up)
DVTR	Les Flics (Sont des Sacs a Merde)	Les Flics (Sont des Sacs a Merde)	Lisbon Luxe	2024	You can have all kinds of rules for a band to have decorum and be nice and that’s all fine, but we just talk all kinds of shit in our tunes and spit poison and move on to the next thing....“We don’t do anything without integrity.” You may know Demi Lune as Laurence Giroux-Do, from Quebec indie outfit le Couleur, but in DVTR she’s Demi Lune, point final. Jean Divorce is JC Tellier, le Couleur’s touring guitarist, founding member of Gazoline and label manager at Ambiances Ambiguës.		0:10:06 (Pop-up)
La Sécurité	Anyway "Anyway" by "La Sécurité"	Stay Safe!`	Mothland	2023	La Sécurité (Montréal/Tiohtià:ke) is a collective whose art punk is equal parts: jumpy beats, off-kilter arrangements, and minimalistic melodic hooks; run through an insomniac filter, the result of excessive exposure to the city’s neon lights. The music is all about living dangerously, perfectly agreeable to being blasted onto dancefloors; while the lyrics share the ethos of the Riot Grrrl movement, and celebrate the autonomization of women, friends (mean and nice) as well as benevolence. You can find La Sécurité sporting thrift-shopped goodies in dark underground venues, on the rooftop of a tanning salon or on VHS tape, indulging in a symbiotic hurrah of disheveled music, cloaked poetry and improv dancing, with movement as a main creative fuel. Since coming together in the Spring of 2022, the five-piece has been invited to perform at SXSW, FME, Phoque OFF, Taverne Tour and DISTORSION Psych Fest, also sharing the stage with the likes of Automatic, Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp and Annie-Claude Deschênes (Duchess Says).		0:12:57 (Pop-up)
YOCTO	Station 010111 "Station 010111" by "YOCTO"	Zepta Supernova	Duprince	2023	This Francophone post-punk project can build it up as fast as they can tear it down. Hard-edged rhythms and fancy guitar work collide with smooth atmospheric psych rock to create a constellation of sounds that command your attention. Combining the art rock fury of Devo circa 1978 with the modern day sensibilities of Montreal’s feisty local music scene, Yocto is your new favourite band that you haven’t properly explored until you’ve spent time with Zepta Supernova. With Station 010111...it's easy to dismiss as an homage to Stereolab...oh but how well executed...and they have some surprises up their sleeve....SAXOMOPHOOOOONE!!!!!		0:16:45 (Pop-up)
J'AI PEUR DES CRABES	City Walls "City Walls" by "J'AI PEUR DES CRABES"	Cocobongo	J'AI PEUR DES CRABES	2018	JPDC is a project of Montreal multi-instrumentalist Emmanuel Alias of XS Studio. Its strange, instense and elevating mix of garage, psychedelic, blues, southern rock and krautrock. There isn't much press outside of a few pieces here and there...but this song in particular could (and perhaps should) belong on a Strokes record. But no need, for JPDC brings its own thing to the world. Embrace the melancholy and longing, as the broken heart limps to the finish line of life, wheezing and gasping like a dying crab on a sun baked beach.		0:20:20 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Bernard Bonnier	Le Grinçant Mr. Smile	Casse-Tete	Amaryllis	1984	The first electronic music studio in the province was established in 1964 at McGill. Founded by Anhalt, it featured a number of instruments invented by pioneering composer Hugh Le Caine. One of the students who attended courses at the SMEUL in the early ‘70s was Bernard Bonnier. Bonnier had started experimenting with musique concrète in his makeshift studio as early as 1968. After graduating from Laval University, he travelled to Paris and became Pierre Henry’s assistant from 1972 to 1976. When he returned to Québec, Bonnier set up the Amaryllis studio with Gisèle Ricard. He eventually self-released his sole LP, the cult classic Casse-Tête, in 1984. The record is a strange beast, a mind-melting mixture of looped samples, live drums and sequenced electronics. The mix of pop elements and experimental techniques predated the kind of avant-rock and techno experiments that would crop up in later years.		0:23:26 (Pop-up)
The Fall	How I Wrote Elastic Man (Live)	The Fall – New Orleans 1981	Cog Sinister / Let Them Eat Vinyl	1981 / 2019	Lo-fi, but fun... Live 1981 23rd June at Jimmy's New Orleans, Louisiana USA. //// For those of you familiar with the song, enjoy the special ending that Mark E. Smith cooked up for New Orleans that day. I love these little surprises. //// From Annotated Fall: "A comic strip called "Ping the Elastic Man" by one Hugh McNeill appeared in the English children's magazine The Beano from 1938-1940. There doesn't seem to be any evidence that McNeill was a tortured soul...from Dan: "There are some Fall-world connections worth noting about McNeill that I haven’t seen noted by anyone else. First of all, he was born in Moss Side, Manchester. And secondly, he died on 22 November 1979, just a couple of months before the live debut of How I Wrote Elastic Man." / One of Captain Marvel's enemies was called first Plastic Man, then Elastic Man... "Plastic Man" is also a 1969 Kinks song, and before that (1967) there is a Sonny and Cher song."		0:33:25 (Pop-up)
Elastica	How He Wrote Elastica Man	The Menace	Atlantic	2000	Mark E. Smith vocalizes & provides lyrics along w/Julia Nagle to provide extra Fall content (Dave Bush had already joined the band full-time) on this Elastica song, a nod to the old Fall title from 1980. For avid fans (of either band) the "6 Track EP" release included a different version of this song & an additional Mark E. Smith collaboration "KB"... Lastly, apparently there are two more (unreleased) tracks from the sessions, but they've never seen the light of day. This Final Lineup (1998-2001) of Elastica = Justine Frischmann, Justin Welch, Annie Holland, Dave Bush, Mew, Paul Jones.		0:39:14 (Pop-up)

Shellac	How I Wrote Elastic Man (cock & bull)	To All Trains	Touch and Go Records	2024	"To All Trains is the sixth studio album by American rock band Shellac, released by Touch and Go Records on May 17, 2024. It is the first original studio effort by the band in a decade and is the final recording made before band member Steve Albini's death days prior to the album's release. The recording was made around the band's touring over the course of several years and was not promoted with advance copies, specific tour dates, or singles. The release coincided with Shellac's music being available on music streaming services for the first time in years."	*	0:44:24 (Pop-up)
Frank Sidebottom	Indie Medley "Indie Medley" by "Frank Sidebottom"	The Hitchcocks / Frank Sidebottom – Stuart / Frank's Indie Medley		1987 / 1999	Originally from 1987 on a S/Sided flexi-disc split 7" --- Also on 1999's Frank Sidebottom – Frank Sidebottom's ABC & D... The Best Of... //////// This one, is: Indie Medley -- (2:43) / 22a: "Love Will Tear Us Apart" Written-By – Curtis, Hook, Summer, Morris / 22b: "How I Wrote Elastic Man" Written-By – Reilly, Scanlon, Hanley, Smith / 22c: "Take The Skinheads Bowling" Written-By – Molla, Lowery, Lisher, Krummenacer, Segel / 22d: "Bigmouth Strikes Again" Written-By – Morrissey, Marr. //////// Frank Sidebottom, Real Name: Christopher Mark Sievey /// Profile: "Frank Sidebottom was the comic persona of Chris Sievey created in 1984 as a mascot for The Freshies. Following the group's break up that same year, Sievey began to perform as Frank alone. In 1985, Frank was signed to Regal Zonophone Records, on which he released 3 EPs, before moving onto a variety of his own independent labels. Two years later he released his first album Fantastic Tales through his 11:37 Label. Throughout his career he only released 5 albums. Following the release of his Panic single in 1993 Frank Sidebottom character was retired until December of 2005, when Frank began to once again make live appearances. He would continue to be active until Sievey's death in 2010."		0:48:34 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Aphex Twin	Pancake Lizard "Pancake Lizard" by "Aphex Twin"	Donkey Rhubarb	Warp	1995	Released: Aug 14, 1995. I've always quite loved this song, so let's talk over it.		0:51:18 (Pop-up)
The Shifters	Medieval Kicks "Medieval Kicks" by "The Shifters"	Have a Cunning Plan	Trouble In Mind	2018	The album showcases ten new tracks by the band at their best; scrappy, self-destructive, stumbling and brilliant pop music that seems tossed off or nonchalant on the surface but is rife with rewards upon further listening...heavy on mood and are vehicles for vocalist/guitarist Miles Jansen’s erudite lyrics that simultaneously celebrate and decry the banality of life, while also tackling larger issues of colonialism conservatism’s effects on society at large. I get it. Serfs can't catch a fucking break these days....		0:59:45 (Pop-up)
Nick Normal	Mixed Lettuces 1 & 2 "Mixed Lettuces 1 & 2" by "Nick Normal"	Mixed Lettuces 1 & 2	Bummer Tapes	2024	Nick Normal and the Nickmatics are a hard rock band who performed "The Letter N" on Sesame Street in season 16 in 1985 This is not the same Nick Normal, sadly. But close. Steeped in a woozy world of absurdist punk rock, Normal (real name Nick Barnaby) conjures the very best of underground weirdos like Axemen while paying obvious homage to icons like Devo.	*	1:02:13 (Pop-up)
Adam + Attack By Fire	Artificial Dance Machine	Artificial Dance Machine Single	Adam + Attack By Fire	Adam + Attack By Fir	Adam is a songwriter, rocker, and producer. His songs touch on "iconic sounds that feel proto punkish and glam and more"...His style "has the swirling glam rock styling that endears itself to fans of Bowie or Bolan" Adam + Attack By Fire‘s Artificial Dance Machine is a high-energy track that blends 80s art rock with post punk influences. The song captures the raw, rebellious spirit of post punk while infusing it with the creative flair and boldness of 80s art rock. With its memorable riffs, infectious rhythms, and plenty of rebellious attitude, Artificial Dance Machine is a fun, vibrant romp that stands out. The track’s superb style and engaging sound make it a nostalgic yet fresh listening experience, celebrating the enduring appeal of rock with a modern twist.	*	1:06:16 (Pop-up)
The World	New Pearls "New Pearls" by "The World"	First World Record	Upset The Rhythm	2017	Oakland five-piece The World’s debut album jolts and jumps along to off-kilter drum beats and saxophone hooks for the entirety of its play time. The band’s wedding of metallic postpunk with matter-of-fact vocal chit-chattery works to create their uniquely propulsive sound. ‘First World Record’ is in equal parts a darkly comical full-length floor-filler and a revolt; a flick of two fingers to consumerism and the ‘culture muck’ that is the millennial preoccupation with all things meaninglessly faddish. It’s an intense mix of lo-fi pop and DIY nearly jazz, full of anxiety and also anxiety-inducing – a cry for depth in a world that is fast becoming an echo-chamber for the self(ie)-obsessed.		1:08:26 (Pop-up)
Eran Westwood	All The Boys "All The Boys" by "Eran Westwood"	Sonic I	Sounds of Red Bull	2019	This banger is exactly that...a Red Bull Banger...comped for maximum feel that buzz effect! No singer or performers are credited on this release...but our sleuthy ways have undercovered that apparently, thjs tune was written and produced by one Eran Westwood, a music producer and supervisor, member of the band Spill and occasional collaborator with Front 242.		1:10:12 (Pop-up)
The Pill	Bale of Hay "Bale of Hay" by "The Pill"	Bale of Hay	The Pill	2024	The Pill are making their debut with latest single, ‘Bale Of Hay’. Laden with gritty acoustics and tongue-in-cheek songwriting, the Isle of Wight duo offer a fresh take on the feminist anthem. Made up of core members Lily and Lottie, the band first merged forces in 2019, now establishing themselves across the live circuit and beyond. On ‘Bale Of Hay’ the outfit tackles the stereotypes of womanhood with wit and irony, reclaiming their golden locks across a bold, magnetic hook. Speaking on their latest release, they share: “Are you blonde? Then this song is for you. Are you not? You will want to be once this is through. ‘Bale of Hay’ is a truthful, noisy checklist about the realities of being blonde. Oh, it’s so difficult.” A must-see live act, the months ahead will see Lily, Lottie and drummer Rufus join Big Special and Juno on tour, refining their performance amongst new crowds. As they join the next wave of garage punk, ‘Bale of Hay’ channels a fiery conviction, a promising introduction to The Pill.	*	1:12:42 (Pop-up)
Agender	Pastishe "Pastishe" by "Agender"	No Nostalgia	Climax!	2022	EXISTENTIAL TERROR HURRAH, SNAPPY SYNTHY PUNCHY POST-PUNK FROM LA! NO NOSTALGIA, sees the four-piece satirically examine their place in today's fast-evolving world. The album reads as a newspaper or a collage. It’s a political, spiritual, philosophical look at modern society- the information age. It’s an anthropological look at the absurd current state of affairs. It’s focused yet unhinged, self reflective, observant, brash, tongue in cheek, serious yet playful. Excavations and observations of the mind of an anxiously attached, overthinking, spiritual human.		1:14:42 (Pop-up)
STEEF	Frozen In Place "Frozen In Place" by "STEEF"	Frozen In Place/That's How I Feel	STEEF	2024	Manufactured and ugly It wreaks of petroleum jelly Barely half conscious hyper focused bender held together by duct tape The patina of chain smoked lungs obscuring the bottle glass Is something in there? That's for you to decide....Frozen in Place takes the band in new directions...perhaps less frantic, still as paranoid and dare we say...a little more beautiful?	*	1:17:32 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: O.M.F.O & Sputnik	Sea Cruise "Sea Cruise" by "O.M.F.O & Sputnik"	Cafe Sputnik	Edition Stora	2002	"The band Sputnik from Amsterdam became famous with their Space Age concert program and a CD album "Favorite Song Of The Soviet Cosmonauts". "Sea Cruise" penned by OMFO was originally released on the "KidNap International" compilation in 1999." https://soundcloud.com/kidnap-records/sputnik-sea-cruise		1:20:44 (Pop-up)
Ramones	Got A Lot To Say "Got A Lot To Say" by "Ramones"	¡Adios Amigos!	Radioactive	1995	The final album from Ramones. I revisited it last week & found it to be fairly enjoyable, despite the late entry into the canon. This album actually has almost everyone involved. Even though C.J. Ramone replaced Dee Dee, it doesn't stop Dee Dee from Co-writing almost half the album. Marky Ramone was behind the drum kit. Daniel Rey, long time producer for the band, was producing & co-writing much of the album also. A real family affair. This is one of the songs C.J. wrote. It's a great addition to the catalogue.		1:23:17 (Pop-up)
Osees	I Got A Lot "I Got A Lot" by "Osees"	Metamorphosed	Rock Is Hell Records	2021	Doubt this has been played in full too many times on radio, and don't know if we'll make it all the way through this time. John Dwyer has a lot. From a 5 song album, with, despite 3 short blasts to open, ends up expanding to the size of a full-length once the last two songs get going.		1:34:47 (Pop-up)

	8:54pm Mr Fab: There must be SOME comic artist who drew a strip or book about Elastic Man. Seems like a natural.
	8:55pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:53 Maybe Pascal Le Gras could be persuaded! But yes, where's that graphic novel?
	8:55pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:53 Jake The Dog #1 for best stretchy guy!
	8:56pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Mr Fab @8:54 It is! --- From Annotated Fall, courtesy Dan: "A comic strip called "Ping the Elastic Man" by one Hugh McNeill appeared in the English children's magazine The Beano from 1938-1940. There doesn't seem to be any evidence that McNeill was a tortured soul...from Dan: "There are some Fall-world connections worth noting about McNeill that I haven’t seen noted by anyone else. First of all, he was born in Moss Side, Manchester. And secondly, he died on 22 November 1979, just a couple of months before the live debut of How I Wrote Elastic Man." / One of Captain Marvel's enemies was called first Plastic Man, then Elastic Man...

	9:11pm Chandra: Hi Guys! Nice! We got to play with Nick Normal in Portland a couple of years back. Too much fun!
	9:12pm DJ Babs: Chandraaaaaaa! Hello hello heloooo! If you can tell us more about Nick, that'd be awesome because I couldn't find much..and this song is SO FREAKING GOOD
	9:13pm DJ Babs: GAH! this part!? <fjrench kiss>
	9:14pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Chandra @9:11 Hi there Chandra! So lovely to see you! How are you? What is going on in your world?
	9:17pm DJ Babs: Also this wins best saxomophone of the night.
	9:17pm Alli B: Yes 🎷
	9:17pm Chandra: ↳ DJ Babs @9:12 Oh my gosh, he and his wife are just the coolest. He is the drummer and lead singer, so kit is front and center. More bands need to have this set up! Also, I think he went to Antartica (?) to help with some demolition project. Not much more to say except he generously set up a great show for us, and was incredible to watch and great fun to hang with.
	9:19pm DJ Babs: oh wow! That is so cool! Thank you for that extra info...I love learning all I can about the artists we play!
	9:20pm Chandra: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:14 Hi Derek, Hope you're doing well. Lot's cooking with the label and the band. I have a fun and funny story about meeting La Sécurité (more news on that), I'll tell you sometime. So cool to hear them on the show, they transport me back right to 1980!
	9:20pm Derek Westerholm: x2... That's excellent Chandra! Yes, I'm trying to think how many projects have had drummers front & centre... It's unusual for sure...
	9:21pm Juli P: Ugh.
	9:21pm Bob Barth: D& B! Ya'll sound great. Race to the Finish line tonight!
	9:21pm DJ Babs: Hello Hello Juli!

	9:23pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Chandra @9:20 Fantastic! Excited to hear what both the label & the band are up to... Wonderful news! And, yes, happy to hear stories anytime... Sounds like you have some good ones in store...!
	9:23pm Chandra: Oooo, lyrics are channeling "Kate."
	9:25pm DJ Babs: If I may say..."Kate" stands on a pedestal all of its own! I am still awestruck by it.
	9:25pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Bob Barth @9:23 Bob, that's most excellent... Yes... Please, all, follow the Sheena's Bouncing Ball over to Bob's show next up...

	9:36pm Sean the guy who likes records: Whoa I want to hear thus
	9:36pm northguineahills: they killed most of the red bull workshops/festivals after 2019, right before the pandemic. Yes, corporate money, but they sponsored some good shit.... take the money when it goes to good artistic causes (i mean, it's not oil money, and in the US, us artists don't get gov't money)
	9:37pm ultradamno: Moving to Antarctica is how you wind up in The Thing
	9:38pm northguineahills: ↳ ultradamno @9:37 if i was a carpenter.....

	9:44pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ DJ Babs @9:41 Well, one long song, really...
	🏝 9:45pm Will thee SG OCNY: Sorry I'm late to the party, hope everyone is doing ok... ⛱️ 🌴 🌊 🍻
	9:46pm DJ Babs: Damn, that's gonna be a long song!!!
	9:46pm DJ Babs: Hi Will!
	9:46pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hi Babs and Derek! Oh whoops. I'm really late. But at least I get to hear the final 15 minutes of the show.
	9:46pm v-dawg: Hey all. Late check-in.
	9:46pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @9:45 Doing well over here, WillThee... And how are you...?

	9:47pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ DJ Babs @9:46 There's nothing wrong with a long goodbye.
	🏝 9:48pm Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:46 We are good, tired.... Been working on getting the pool up. It's been real close for a while....
	9:49pm DJ Babs: Lol...tonight's show was an interesting one! I've been away in Montreal all week and Derek has been here, so separate playlists...my plane landed 2 hours before showtime and had to rush home, plug in and go!
	9:49pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @9:48 Well, that's the kind of work that will pay off handsomely in the months ahead...!
	9:49pm v-dawg: I was preparing a late dinner after shopping trip(ping).
	9:49pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:47 Yes, my world is pretty damn lovely. Thank you! Hope yours is too. I went swimming this morning, which was fun. Talked to my mom tonight. Went to work in-between the 2 events, but that's not very interesting. haha
	9:49pm DJ Babs: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @9:48 oooohhhhhh a poool! That is such a lovely thing!!!
	9:50pm DJ Babs: ↳ v-dawg @9:49 haha I love edibles shopping!
	9:50pm DJ Babs: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:49 I was with my mom all week. We have an agreement that we spend only 4 days together because otherwise "we will kill each other"
	9:51pm DJ Babs: she's the fucking best tho
	9:51pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:49 Aww, sounds like a fantastic time (minus the workday interference...)
	9:52pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ DJ Babs @9:51 Haha, are we sisters? My mom is the best... and after 4 days I'm totally done, too.
	9:52pm DJ Babs: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:49 We have an olympic sized pool that is at the edge of lake ontario at the bottom of my street...and I plan to be going and doing laps on every available morning I can as soon as it's open!
	9:53pm Derek Westerholm: Speaking of drums front-and-centre, Osees/Oh Sees, etc. are undeniably thrilling w/ their double drum onslaught...
	9:53pm v-dawg: ↳ DJ Babs @9:50 Haha, not really. I cannot get the wine and the dairy products that i want. But i did get some pants and shirts.
	9:53pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:51 Thanks! My job is good enough, but I'd love to not have to work for wages. Idea: let's all overthrow capitalism this weekend! Yay!
	9:53pm DJ Babs: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:52 Ohhh we are sisters in that I think this is definitely a sisterhood thing. Being a mom is so hard! Being a daughter is hard!
	9:54pm Bob Barth: Follow me into the next hour... www.wfmu.org...
	9:54pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ DJ Babs @9:52 NICE! Have a fab time in the pool. I love being in the pool. It comes with being part-mermaid.
	9:54pm DJ Babs: ↳ v-dawg @9:53 Wine AND dairy!? Now you're talking!
	9:54pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "I Got A Lot" by "Osees" a randomly turned on a random hs band dork friend of mine (full disclosure, I was also a marching band fork), to the Osees 12 years ago when I saw him in NYC, and he texted me what I was listening to. I looked at the wfmu playlist (scott williams, i beleive), and it was the Osees) 10 years later, he saw them in Austin and said it was my fault....
	9:54pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ DJ Babs @9:53 WORD
	🏝 9:54pm Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ DJ Babs @9:49 Yea, it's an expensive thing to take care of, own, and operate.... But it is super awesome when it's hot out.
	9:54pm DJ Babs: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:54 lolz k maybe we are sisters!
	9:54pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:53 Sounds like a plan... ... Should I book a couple of weeks off work first, though, just in case the revolution backfires?
	9:55pm v-dawg: @Wendy del Formaggio et al Thank you for the heads up. See you at the barricades.
	9:55pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ DJ Babs @9:54 <3
	9:55pm DJ Babs: I am fully committed...I have been sharpening my guillotine for ages here!
	9:55pm northguineahills: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:54 uh-hum, mer-person is the preferred nomenclature for the seafolk...
	9:56pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ northguineahills @9:54 "I saw Osees and it's your fault" should be their next line of merch...
	9:56pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:54 Totally. Just jump up on the first raised surface you see -- desk, table, counter, whatever -- and yell in your best Jello Biafra voice: TAKE THIS JOB AND SHOVE IT I AIN'T WORKIN' HERE NO MORE!
	9:56pm northguineahills: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @9:54 i barely recognize thee, Thee!
	9:56pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ v-dawg @9:55 Yes! Bring snacks, v-dawg.
	9:56pm DJ Babs: ↳ northguineahills @9:54 hey, there is NO SHAME in marching band dorks. You know I love the marching band shizzzz. Also I will see Ohsees ANY time.
	9:57pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @9:55 Not this one. I get to choose my gender. Duh.
	9:57pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:56 Interesting... People are usually telling me NOT to use my best Jello Biafra voice.
	9:57pm DJ Babs: All I know is that I NEVER WANT TO SET FOOT INTO AN OFFICE AGAINNNNNNNN
	🏝 9:58pm Scott_Oz: Thanks Babs & Derek! Been catching some precious Autumn rays, sadly not on a beach, just a backyard. But sun's warm & beers cold, cheers! 🌏🌞🐶🍻😎🤙💨🍺🍺🌻
	9:58pm ultradamno: Well, except mermen, but that's a whole other bag of fish 1.bp.blogspot.com...
	9:58pm Wendy del Formaggio: The only time I got kicked in the head at a show was at The Oh-Sees show at La Poisson Rouge in NYC in 2010 or something. And I'd been going to hardcore shows since my late-teens. My glasses fell off... and I caught them!
	9:58pm v-dawg: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:56 Date bars and almond milk.
	9:58pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:57 I'm wired a little differently.
	9:58pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Song: "I Got A Lot" by "Osees" Best thing about this, is there's another several minutes for you to explore on your own some day... The full length is 23:10. John Dwyer really did have a lot on his mind that day.
	9:59pm v-dawg: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:57 There is always room for Jello.
	9:59pm DJ Babs: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:58 I know..I am always so sad for you Scott when our summer comes I know it's Autumn in OZ.... :-(
	10:00pm Derek Westerholm: Amazing being with you all, as always!!!

Donald Lautrec	Manon Viens Danser Le Ska	J'Ai Besoin De Ton Amour / Manon Viens Danser Le Ska	Jupiter	1965	Donald Lautrec (born Donald Bourgeois, July 13, 1940, in Jonquière, Quebec) is a Canadian (Quebec) singer and actor. With a friend in 1957, Lautrec created the acrobatic duo, Don and Lee, which performed on trampolines throughout Canada and the United States. He then mixed in the entertainment world by working as a lighting technician, a master of ceremonies in several Montreal cabarets and, for a short time, as a bodyguard to Québécois singer Michel Louvain. In 1964, he popularized the ska, a dance inspired by Jamaican ska with the songs C'est le Ska (That's Ska) and Manon, viens danser le ska (Manon, Come and Dance the Ska). In 1965 and 1966, he grew his success with Tu dis des bêtises (You're Talking Nonsense), Action and Loins dans ma campagne (Deep in My Countryside) which he sang in the movie Pas de vacances pour les idoles (No Holiday for Idols). In 1966 he travelled to France where he participated in television and radio, and received the Newcomer of the Year Award at the Gala des Artistes. He also sang the theme song for Montreal's Expo 67		0:00:37 (Pop-up)
Nudimension	Amour Programmé "Amour Programmé" by "Nudimension"	Amour Programmé 7"	Illusion	1982	"Amour Programmé" is a song by the French Canadian synthpop group Nudimension. Louis Rondeau (known by his stage name "Louie Louie") was originally a drummer and vocalist in 1970s punk band The 222s.[4] In early 1981, the 222s were wound up by the original members. Rondeau states that as a result of that, he wanted to "explore new dimensions in music, and (the emerging genre of) electro would allow him to do that". He teamed up with the 222s assistant manager Marc Fontaine and on 16 June 1982, formed the studio group Nudimension, taking the band's name from his original music concept. The single is in the French language and was recorded at Fountain Studios, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Released by Illusion Records in May 1983, it became a breakthrough single for Nudimension and was the first to feature TV presenter Anne-Marie Cyr on vocals. It achieved moderate success in French-speaking regions of Canada, charting in the top 20 francophone charts. It was also released with a music video created by the band's Marc Fontaine, which was unusual for all but the biggest bands in 1983. The video featured footage shot during one of the band's appearances on Montreal's Musi-Video show and scenes of Louie Louie and Cyr in the studio with basic chromakey overlay effects.		0:02:48 (Pop-up)
Alix Fernz	Muselière "Muselière" by "Alix Fernz"	Bizou	Alix Fernz	2024	Scratchy, contrasting and labyrinthine, songs from Alix Fernz (Montréal, QC) venture deep into post-punk’s scalene enclave, also flirting with hypnagogic pop, resulting in a lo-fi hybrid between synthwave and alternative rock, topped with catchy yet kooky melodies. Singing about bar life, psychosocial disorders, drug, addiction and fear, while drawing inspiration from high heels, lipstick, transvestism, fashion and weirdos, the singer-songwriter lays out along masqued syllabic beats the accounts of a coming-of-age in an era wherein likes and memes are all the rage. Alix Fernz presents a first mostly-francophone full-length, slowly pulling away from English to sing in his mother tongue. Looking to synthesize envy, anguish, anger, revolt and violence into a resolutely positive and tonic serum, he concocts, from the confines of his living quarters, ever-shifting heteroclite pop music that is sometimes innocent, others ironic, but always beautifully abnormal. The Montrealer offers Bizou...	*	0:07:03 (Pop-up)
DVTR	Les Flics (Sont des Sacs a Merde)	Les Flics (Sont des Sacs a Merde)	Lisbon Luxe	2024	You can have all kinds of rules for a band to have decorum and be nice and that’s all fine, but we just talk all kinds of shit in our tunes and spit poison and move on to the next thing....“We don’t do anything without integrity.” You may know Demi Lune as Laurence Giroux-Do, from Quebec indie outfit le Couleur, but in DVTR she’s Demi Lune, point final. Jean Divorce is JC Tellier, le Couleur’s touring guitarist, founding member of Gazoline and label manager at Ambiances Ambiguës.		0:10:06 (Pop-up)
La Sécurité	Anyway "Anyway" by "La Sécurité"	Stay Safe!`	Mothland	2023	La Sécurité (Montréal/Tiohtià:ke) is a collective whose art punk is equal parts: jumpy beats, off-kilter arrangements, and minimalistic melodic hooks; run through an insomniac filter, the result of excessive exposure to the city’s neon lights. The music is all about living dangerously, perfectly agreeable to being blasted onto dancefloors; while the lyrics share the ethos of the Riot Grrrl movement, and celebrate the autonomization of women, friends (mean and nice) as well as benevolence. You can find La Sécurité sporting thrift-shopped goodies in dark underground venues, on the rooftop of a tanning salon or on VHS tape, indulging in a symbiotic hurrah of disheveled music, cloaked poetry and improv dancing, with movement as a main creative fuel. Since coming together in the Spring of 2022, the five-piece has been invited to perform at SXSW, FME, Phoque OFF, Taverne Tour and DISTORSION Psych Fest, also sharing the stage with the likes of Automatic, Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp and Annie-Claude Deschênes (Duchess Says).		0:12:57 (Pop-up)
YOCTO	Station 010111 "Station 010111" by "YOCTO"	Zepta Supernova	Duprince	2023	This Francophone post-punk project can build it up as fast as they can tear it down. Hard-edged rhythms and fancy guitar work collide with smooth atmospheric psych rock to create a constellation of sounds that command your attention. Combining the art rock fury of Devo circa 1978 with the modern day sensibilities of Montreal’s feisty local music scene, Yocto is your new favourite band that you haven’t properly explored until you’ve spent time with Zepta Supernova. With Station 010111...it's easy to dismiss as an homage to Stereolab...oh but how well executed...and they have some surprises up their sleeve....SAXOMOPHOOOOONE!!!!!		0:16:45 (Pop-up)
J'AI PEUR DES CRABES	City Walls "City Walls" by "J'AI PEUR DES CRABES"	Cocobongo	J'AI PEUR DES CRABES	2018	JPDC is a project of Montreal multi-instrumentalist Emmanuel Alias of XS Studio. Its strange, instense and elevating mix of garage, psychedelic, blues, southern rock and krautrock. There isn't much press outside of a few pieces here and there...but this song in particular could (and perhaps should) belong on a Strokes record. But no need, for JPDC brings its own thing to the world. Embrace the melancholy and longing, as the broken heart limps to the finish line of life, wheezing and gasping like a dying crab on a sun baked beach.		0:20:20 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Bernard Bonnier	Le Grinçant Mr. Smile	Casse-Tete	Amaryllis	1984	The first electronic music studio in the province was established in 1964 at McGill. Founded by Anhalt, it featured a number of instruments invented by pioneering composer Hugh Le Caine. One of the students who attended courses at the SMEUL in the early ‘70s was Bernard Bonnier. Bonnier had started experimenting with musique concrète in his makeshift studio as early as 1968. After graduating from Laval University, he travelled to Paris and became Pierre Henry’s assistant from 1972 to 1976. When he returned to Québec, Bonnier set up the Amaryllis studio with Gisèle Ricard. He eventually self-released his sole LP, the cult classic Casse-Tête, in 1984. The record is a strange beast, a mind-melting mixture of looped samples, live drums and sequenced electronics. The mix of pop elements and experimental techniques predated the kind of avant-rock and techno experiments that would crop up in later years.		0:23:26 (Pop-up)
The Fall	How I Wrote Elastic Man (Live)	The Fall – New Orleans 1981	Cog Sinister / Let Them Eat Vinyl	1981 / 2019	Lo-fi, but fun... Live 1981 23rd June at Jimmy's New Orleans, Louisiana USA. //// For those of you familiar with the song, enjoy the special ending that Mark E. Smith cooked up for New Orleans that day. I love these little surprises. //// From Annotated Fall: "A comic strip called "Ping the Elastic Man" by one Hugh McNeill appeared in the English children's magazine The Beano from 1938-1940. There doesn't seem to be any evidence that McNeill was a tortured soul...from Dan: "There are some Fall-world connections worth noting about McNeill that I haven’t seen noted by anyone else. First of all, he was born in Moss Side, Manchester. And secondly, he died on 22 November 1979, just a couple of months before the live debut of How I Wrote Elastic Man." / One of Captain Marvel's enemies was called first Plastic Man, then Elastic Man... "Plastic Man" is also a 1969 Kinks song, and before that (1967) there is a Sonny and Cher song."		0:33:25 (Pop-up)
Elastica	How He Wrote Elastica Man	The Menace	Atlantic	2000	Mark E. Smith vocalizes & provides lyrics along w/Julia Nagle to provide extra Fall content (Dave Bush had already joined the band full-time) on this Elastica song, a nod to the old Fall title from 1980. For avid fans (of either band) the "6 Track EP" release included a different version of this song & an additional Mark E. Smith collaboration "KB"... Lastly, apparently there are two more (unreleased) tracks from the sessions, but they've never seen the light of day. This Final Lineup (1998-2001) of Elastica = Justine Frischmann, Justin Welch, Annie Holland, Dave Bush, Mew, Paul Jones.		0:39:14 (Pop-up)

Shellac	How I Wrote Elastic Man (cock & bull)	To All Trains	Touch and Go Records	2024	"To All Trains is the sixth studio album by American rock band Shellac, released by Touch and Go Records on May 17, 2024. It is the first original studio effort by the band in a decade and is the final recording made before band member Steve Albini's death days prior to the album's release. The recording was made around the band's touring over the course of several years and was not promoted with advance copies, specific tour dates, or singles. The release coincided with Shellac's music being available on music streaming services for the first time in years."	*	0:44:24 (Pop-up)

Following the group's break up that same year, Sievey began to perform as Frank alone. In 1985, Frank was signed to Regal Zonophone Records, on which he released 3 EPs, before moving onto a variety of his own independent labels. Two years later he released his first album Fantastic Tales through his 11:37 Label. Throughout his career he only released 5 albums. Following the release of his Panic single in 1993 Frank Sidebottom character was retired until December of 2005, when Frank began to once again make live appearances. He would continue to be active until Sievey's death in 2010."		0:48:34 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: Aphex Twin	Pancake Lizard "Pancake Lizard" by "Aphex Twin"	Donkey Rhubarb	Warp	1995	Released: Aug 14, 1995. I've always quite loved this song, so let's talk over it.		0:51:18 (Pop-up)
The Shifters	Medieval Kicks "Medieval Kicks" by "The Shifters"	Have a Cunning Plan	Trouble In Mind	2018	The album showcases ten new tracks by the band at their best; scrappy, self-destructive, stumbling and brilliant pop music that seems tossed off or nonchalant on the surface but is rife with rewards upon further listening...heavy on mood and are vehicles for vocalist/guitarist Miles Jansen’s erudite lyrics that simultaneously celebrate and decry the banality of life, while also tackling larger issues of colonialism conservatism’s effects on society at large. I get it. Serfs can't catch a fucking break these days....		0:59:45 (Pop-up)
Nick Normal	Mixed Lettuces 1 & 2 "Mixed Lettuces 1 & 2" by "Nick Normal"	Mixed Lettuces 1 & 2	Bummer Tapes	2024	Nick Normal and the Nickmatics are a hard rock band who performed "The Letter N" on Sesame Street in season 16 in 1985 This is not the same Nick Normal, sadly. But close. Steeped in a woozy world of absurdist punk rock, Normal (real name Nick Barnaby) conjures the very best of underground weirdos like Axemen while paying obvious homage to icons like Devo.	*	1:02:13 (Pop-up)
Adam + Attack By Fire	Artificial Dance Machine	Artificial Dance Machine Single	Adam + Attack By Fire	Adam + Attack By Fir	Adam is a songwriter, rocker, and producer. His songs touch on "iconic sounds that feel proto punkish and glam and more"...His style "has the swirling glam rock styling that endears itself to fans of Bowie or Bolan" Adam + Attack By Fire‘s Artificial Dance Machine is a high-energy track that blends 80s art rock with post punk influences. The song captures the raw, rebellious spirit of post punk while infusing it with the creative flair and boldness of 80s art rock. With its memorable riffs, infectious rhythms, and plenty of rebellious attitude, Artificial Dance Machine is a fun, vibrant romp that stands out. The track’s superb style and engaging sound make it a nostalgic yet fresh listening experience, celebrating the enduring appeal of rock with a modern twist.	*	1:06:16 (Pop-up)
The World	New Pearls "New Pearls" by "The World"	First World Record	Upset The Rhythm	2017	Oakland five-piece The World’s debut album jolts and jumps along to off-kilter drum beats and saxophone hooks for the entirety of its play time. The band’s wedding of metallic postpunk with matter-of-fact vocal chit-chattery works to create their uniquely propulsive sound. ‘First World Record’ is in equal parts a darkly comical full-length floor-filler and a revolt; a flick of two fingers to consumerism and the ‘culture muck’ that is the millennial preoccupation with all things meaninglessly faddish. It’s an intense mix of lo-fi pop and DIY nearly jazz, full of anxiety and also anxiety-inducing – a cry for depth in a world that is fast becoming an echo-chamber for the self(ie)-obsessed.		1:08:26 (Pop-up)
Eran Westwood	All The Boys "All The Boys" by "Eran Westwood"	Sonic I	Sounds of Red Bull	2019	This banger is exactly that...a Red Bull Banger...comped for maximum feel that buzz effect! No singer or performers are credited on this release...but our sleuthy ways have undercovered that apparently, thjs tune was written and produced by one Eran Westwood, a music producer and supervisor, member of the band Spill and occasional collaborator with Front 242.		1:10:12 (Pop-up)
The Pill	Bale of Hay "Bale of Hay" by "The Pill"	Bale of Hay	The Pill	2024	The Pill are making their debut with latest single, ‘Bale Of Hay’. Laden with gritty acoustics and tongue-in-cheek songwriting, the Isle of Wight duo offer a fresh take on the feminist anthem. Made up of core members Lily and Lottie, the band first merged forces in 2019, now establishing themselves across the live circuit and beyond. On ‘Bale Of Hay’ the outfit tackles the stereotypes of womanhood with wit and irony, reclaiming their golden locks across a bold, magnetic hook. Speaking on their latest release, they share: “Are you blonde? Then this song is for you. Are you not? You will want to be once this is through. ‘Bale of Hay’ is a truthful, noisy checklist about the realities of being blonde. Oh, it’s so difficult.” A must-see live act, the months ahead will see Lily, Lottie and drummer Rufus join Big Special and Juno on tour, refining their performance amongst new crowds. As they join the next wave of garage punk, ‘Bale of Hay’ channels a fiery conviction, a promising introduction to The Pill.	*	1:12:42 (Pop-up)
Agender	Pastishe "Pastishe" by "Agender"	No Nostalgia	Climax!	2022	EXISTENTIAL TERROR HURRAH, SNAPPY SYNTHY PUNCHY POST-PUNK FROM LA! NO NOSTALGIA, sees the four-piece satirically examine their place in today's fast-evolving world. The album reads as a newspaper or a collage. It’s a political, spiritual, philosophical look at modern society- the information age. It’s an anthropological look at the absurd current state of affairs. It’s focused yet unhinged, self reflective, observant, brash, tongue in cheek, serious yet playful. Excavations and observations of the mind of an anxiously attached, overthinking, spiritual human.		1:14:42 (Pop-up)
STEEF	Frozen In Place "Frozen In Place" by "STEEF"	Frozen In Place/That's How I Feel	STEEF	2024	Manufactured and ugly It wreaks of petroleum jelly Barely half conscious hyper focused bender held together by duct tape The patina of chain smoked lungs obscuring the bottle glass Is something in there? That's for you to decide....Frozen in Place takes the band in new directions...perhaps less frantic, still as paranoid and dare we say...a little more beautiful?	*	1:17:32 (Pop-up)
Music behind DJ: O.M.F.O & Sputnik	Sea Cruise "Sea Cruise" by "O.M.F.O & Sputnik"	Cafe Sputnik	Edition Stora	2002	"The band Sputnik from Amsterdam became famous with their Space Age concert program and a CD album "Favorite Song Of The Soviet Cosmonauts". "Sea Cruise" penned by OMFO was originally released on the "KidNap International" compilation in 1999." https://soundcloud.com/kidnap-records/sputnik-sea-cruise		1:20:44 (Pop-up)
Ramones	Got A Lot To Say "Got A Lot To Say" by "Ramones"	¡Adios Amigos!	Radioactive	1995	The final album from Ramones. I revisited it last week & found it to be fairly enjoyable, despite the late entry into the canon. This album actually has almost everyone involved. Even though C.J. Ramone replaced Dee Dee, it doesn't stop Dee Dee from Co-writing almost half the album. Marky Ramone was behind the drum kit. Daniel Rey, long time producer for the band, was producing & co-writing much of the album also. A real family affair. This is one of the songs C.J. wrote. It's a great addition to the catalogue.		1:23:17 (Pop-up)
Osees	I Got A Lot "I Got A Lot" by "Osees"	Metamorphosed	Rock Is Hell Records	2021	Doubt this has been played in full too many times on radio, and don't know if we'll make it all the way through this time. John Dwyer has a lot. From a 5 song album, with, despite 3 short blasts to open, ends up expanding to the size of a full-length once the last two songs get going.		1:34:47 (Pop-up)

	8:51pm Derek Westerholm: Hi there Shellioh! + Blush/Alli, glad you're enjoying the M.E.S. & related vibes, haha.
	8:53pm ultradamno: By Any Stretch: The 15 Coolest Characters With Elastic Powers www.cbr.com...
	8:53pm DJ Babs: Hi Shelliiiiiiiii
	8:54pm Mr Fab: There must be SOME comic artist who drew a strip or book about Elastic Man. Seems like a natural.
	8:55pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:53 Maybe Pascal Le Gras could be persuaded! But yes, where's that graphic novel?
	8:55pm DJ Babs: ↳ ultradamno @8:53 Jake The Dog #1 for best stretchy guy!
	8:56pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Mr Fab @8:54 It is! --- From Annotated Fall, courtesy Dan: "A comic strip called "Ping the Elastic Man" by one Hugh McNeill appeared in the English children's magazine The Beano from 1938-1940. There doesn't seem to be any evidence that McNeill was a tortured soul...from Dan: "There are some Fall-world connections worth noting about McNeill that I haven’t seen noted by anyone else. First of all, he was born in Moss Side, Manchester. And secondly, he died on 22 November 1979, just a couple of months before the live debut of How I Wrote Elastic Man." / One of Captain Marvel's enemies was called first Plastic Man, then Elastic Man... "
	8:56pm Alli B: Omg SHELLAC. I swear this show is my early Vancouver days! How lovely!
	8:56pm DJ Babs: What about Stretch Armstrong!? I was always fascinated by the goo inside. I totes cut mine open LOL
	8:58pm DJ Babs: Woooow...woooooow. Derek. Wooow.
	8:58pm DJ Blush: Always something new to be discovered on this show
	8:58pm DJ Babs: Wooooow lol
	8:59pm DJ Babs: I do love a good medley LOL
	9:00pm ultradamno: They have Mr Fantastic at #1 but from the first issue when he does not hesitate to come up with that name out of the blue, Reed has been insufferable, also of all the many hentai with Sue cheating on him, I think there's one of him walking in on her and Plastic Man 4.bp.blogspot.com...
	9:02pm ultradamno: Also, though not strictly stretchy, there was Mercury of Metal Men...who, as a liquid metal, could do a lot of the same tricks 3.bp.blogspot.com...
	9:06pm ultradamno: He did tell you he was never going to lose it.
	9:08pm Alli B: Oof!
	9:08pm DJ Babs: LOL RIGHT!?
	9:10pm Alli B: I’m dying for this song

	9:17pm DJ Babs: Also this wins best saxomophone of the night.
	9:17pm Alli B: Yes 🎷
	9:17pm Chandra: ↳ DJ Babs @9:12 Oh my gosh, he and his wife are just the coolest. He is the drummer and lead singer, so kit is front and center. More bands need to have this set up! Also, I think he went to Antartica (?) to help with some demolition project. Not much more to say except he generously set up a great show for us, and was incredible to watch and great fun to hang with.
	9:19pm DJ Babs: oh wow! That is so cool! Thank you for that extra info...I love learning all I can about the artists we play!
	9:20pm Chandra: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:14 Hi Derek, Hope you're doing well. Lot's cooking with the label and the band. I have a fun and funny story about meeting La Sécurité (more news on that), I'll tell you sometime. So cool to hear them on the show, they transport me back right to 1980!
	9:20pm Derek Westerholm: x2... That's excellent Chandra! Yes, I'm trying to think how many projects have had drummers front & centre... It's unusual for sure...
	9:21pm Juli P: Ugh.
	9:21pm Bob Barth: D& B! Ya'll sound great. Race to the Finish line tonight!
	9:21pm DJ Babs: Hello Hello Juli!
	9:22pm DJ Babs: ↳ Bob Barth @9:21 Hello Bob! OMG you are KILLING IT with the guests tonight! Tim Robbins? Whoa!
	9:23pm Bob Barth: ↳ DJ Babs @9:22 This is a fascinating one, stay tuned.
	9:23pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Chandra @9:20 Fantastic! Excited to hear what both the label & the band are up to... Wonderful news! And, yes, happy to hear stories anytime... Sounds like you have some good ones in store...!
	9:23pm Chandra: Oooo, lyrics are channeling "Kate."
	9:25pm DJ Babs: If I may say..."Kate" stands on a pedestal all of its own! I am still awestruck by it.
	9:25pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Bob Barth @9:23 Bob, that's most excellent... Yes... Please, all, follow the Sheena's Bouncing Ball over to Bob's show next up...
	9:25pm DJ Babs: ↳ Chandra @9:23 Congrats on the recent Motorists release as well!
	9:25pm ultradamno: I like a nice pastiche
	9:26pm Chandra: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:23 Thanks Derek!
	9:28pm DJ Babs: I feel like this is a Serf on a bad trip LOL
	9:30pm northguineahills: I'm here, w/a beer, nowhere near, get used to it... /can't come up w/ any witticisms today....
	9:31pm northguineahills: wine, jelly!
	9:32pm Sean the guy who likes records: Hiyooo
	9:34pm Derek Westerholm: Hey Hey there JuliP, NorthGuinea & SeanT.G.W.L.R.
	9:36pm Sean the guy who likes records: Whoa I want to hear thus
	9:36pm northguineahills: they killed most of the red bull workshops/festivals after 2019, right before the pandemic. Yes, corporate money, but they sponsored some good shit.... take the money when it goes to good artistic causes (i mean, it's not oil money, and in the US, us artists don't get gov't money)
	9:37pm ultradamno: Moving to Antarctica is how you wind up in The Thing
	9:38pm northguineahills: ↳ ultradamno @9:37 if i was a carpenter.....
	9:39pm DJ Babs: Hi Sean! Hi NGH!!!!!
	9:40pm Bob Barth: Love you two!!
	9:41pm DJ Blush: Great show! Love you guys!
	9:41pm DJ Babs: LOL don't go nowhere! We apparently have two very long songs and will be hanging in the chat!!!
	9:44pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ DJ Babs @9:41 Well, one long song, really...
	🏝 9:45pm Will thee SG OCNY: Sorry I'm late to the party, hope everyone is doing ok... ⛱️ 🌴 🌊 🍻

	9:46pm DJ Babs: Hi Will!
	9:46pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hi Babs and Derek! Oh whoops. I'm really late. But at least I get to hear the final 15 minutes of the show.
	9:46pm v-dawg: Hey all. Late check-in.
	9:46pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @9:45 Doing well over here, WillThee... And how are you...?
	9:46pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ v-dawg @9:46 Hello there v-dawg!
	9:46pm DJ Babs: Hiya V Dawg! Great to see yas! Hi Wendy....you've arrived for the long outro....
	9:47pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:46 WendyDF, no worries... Anytime is a great time to say hello! Hello to you!!! Hope things are lovely in your world!
	9:47pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ DJ Babs @9:46 There's nothing wrong with a long goodbye.
	🏝 9:48pm Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:46 We are good, tired.... Been working on getting the pool up. It's been real close for a while....
	9:49pm DJ Babs: Lol...tonight's show was an interesting one! I've been away in Montreal all week and Derek has been here, so separate playlists...my plane landed 2 hours before showtime and had to rush home, plug in and go!
	9:49pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @9:48 Well, that's the kind of work that will pay off handsomely in the months ahead...!
	9:49pm v-dawg: I was preparing a late dinner after shopping trip(ping).
	9:49pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:47 Yes, my world is pretty damn lovely. Thank you! Hope yours is too. I went swimming this morning, which was fun. Talked to my mom tonight. Went to work in-between the 2 events, but that's not very interesting. haha
	9:49pm DJ Babs: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @9:48 oooohhhhhh a poool! That is such a lovely thing!!!
	9:50pm DJ Babs: ↳ v-dawg @9:49 haha I love edibles shopping!
	9:50pm DJ Babs: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:49 I was with my mom all week. We have an agreement that we spend only 4 days together because otherwise "we will kill each other"
	9:51pm DJ Babs: she's the fucking best tho
	9:51pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:49 Aww, sounds like a fantastic time (minus the workday interference...)
	9:52pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ DJ Babs @9:51 Haha, are we sisters? My mom is the best... and after 4 days I'm totally done, too.
	9:52pm DJ Babs: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:49 We have an olympic sized pool that is at the edge of lake ontario at the bottom of my street...and I plan to be going and doing laps on every available morning I can as soon as it's open!
	9:53pm Derek Westerholm: Speaking of drums front-and-centre, Osees/Oh Sees, etc. are undeniably thrilling w/ their double drum onslaught...
	9:53pm v-dawg: ↳ DJ Babs @9:50 Haha, not really. I cannot get the wine and the dairy products that i want. But i did get some pants and shirts.
	9:53pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:51 Thanks! My job is good enough, but I'd love to not have to work for wages. Idea: let's all overthrow capitalism this weekend! Yay!
	9:53pm DJ Babs: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:52 Ohhh we are sisters in that I think this is definitely a sisterhood thing. Being a mom is so hard! Being a daughter is hard!
	9:54pm Bob Barth: Follow me into the next hour... www.wfmu.org...
	9:54pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ DJ Babs @9:52 NICE! Have a fab time in the pool. I love being in the pool. It comes with being part-mermaid.
	9:54pm DJ Babs: ↳ v-dawg @9:53 Wine AND dairy!? Now you're talking!
	9:54pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "I Got A Lot" by "Osees" a randomly turned on a random hs band dork friend of mine (full disclosure, I was also a marching band fork), to the Osees 12 years ago when I saw him in NYC, and he texted me what I was listening to. I looked at the wfmu playlist (scott williams, i beleive), and it was the Osees) 10 years later, he saw them in Austin and said it was my fault....
	9:54pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ DJ Babs @9:53 WORD
	🏝 9:54pm Will thee SG OCNY: ↳ DJ Babs @9:49 Yea, it's an expensive thing to take care of, own, and operate.... But it is super awesome when it's hot out.
	9:54pm DJ Babs: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:54 lolz k maybe we are sisters!
	9:54pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:53 Sounds like a plan... ... Should I book a couple of weeks off work first, though, just in case the revolution backfires?
	9:55pm v-dawg: @Wendy del Formaggio et al Thank you for the heads up. See you at the barricades.
	9:55pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ DJ Babs @9:54 <3
	9:55pm DJ Babs: I am fully committed...I have been sharpening my guillotine for ages here!
	9:55pm northguineahills: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:54 uh-hum, mer-person is the preferred nomenclature for the seafolk...
	9:56pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ northguineahills @9:54 "I saw Osees and it's your fault" should be their next line of merch...
	9:56pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:54 Totally. Just jump up on the first raised surface you see -- desk, table, counter, whatever -- and yell in your best Jello Biafra voice: TAKE THIS JOB AND SHOVE IT I AIN'T WORKIN' HERE NO MORE!
	9:56pm northguineahills: ↳ Will thee SG OCNY @9:54 i barely recognize thee, Thee!
	9:56pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ v-dawg @9:55 Yes! Bring snacks, v-dawg.
	9:56pm DJ Babs: ↳ northguineahills @9:54 hey, there is NO SHAME in marching band dorks. You know I love the marching band shizzzz. Also I will see Ohsees ANY time.
	9:57pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ northguineahills @9:55 Not this one. I get to choose my gender. Duh.
	9:57pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:56 Interesting... People are usually telling me NOT to use my best Jello Biafra voice.
	9:57pm DJ Babs: All I know is that I NEVER WANT TO SET FOOT INTO AN OFFICE AGAINNNNNNNN
	🏝 9:58pm Scott_Oz: Thanks Babs & Derek! Been catching some precious Autumn rays, sadly not on a beach, just a backyard. But sun's warm & beers cold, cheers! 🌏🌞🐶🍻😎🤙💨🍺🍺🌻
	9:58pm ultradamno: Well, except mermen, but that's a whole other bag of fish 1.bp.blogspot.com...
	9:58pm Wendy del Formaggio: The only time I got kicked in the head at a show was at The Oh-Sees show at La Poisson Rouge in NYC in 2010 or something. And I'd been going to hardcore shows since my late-teens. My glasses fell off... and I caught them!
	9:58pm v-dawg: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:56 Date bars and almond milk.
	9:58pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:57 I'm wired a little differently.
	9:58pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Song: "I Got A Lot" by "Osees" Best thing about this, is there's another several minutes for you to explore on your own some day... The full length is 23:10. John Dwyer really did have a lot on his mind that day.
	9:59pm v-dawg: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:57 There is always room for Jello.
	9:59pm DJ Babs: ↳ Scott_Oz @9:58 I know..I am always so sad for you Scott when our summer comes I know it's Autumn in OZ.... :-(
	10:00pm Derek Westerholm: Amazing being with you all, as always!!!
	10:00pm DJ Babs: ↳ v-dawg @9:59 Jello gonna make room and talk at you whether you like it or not. I know this from personal experience LOL
	10:00pm DJ Babs: But that's for another time! CHEERS BUDDIES OF THE BEACH!!!!
	10:00pm DJ Babs: See you next week!
	10:00pm Wendy del Formaggio: Thanks, Babs and Derek!
	10:01pm ultradamno: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:58 I had mine knocked off at a Discharged show in 84...girl staged dived into my head
	10:01pm ultradamno: *Discharge show
	10:02pm v-dawg: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:58 Kicked in the head at LPR‽
