Listener comments!
	👻 7:39pm Austin Rich: Good Hello
	8:57pm Imaginos: Ahoy!
	8:59pm Mr. X: Hello chatters! This production is a sequel to our April 16, 2024 show, "The Food Pyramid." wfmu.org...
	👻 9:00pm Austin Rich: Imaginos and Mr. X! The chat's off to a good start tonight.
	9:01pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Walking On Nails" by "The Insect Trust" The only reason I've heard of this band is because I bought a coffee table book about artsy album covers.
	9:02pm Krys O.: Hello dere. It's been an exhausting evening. We have a boil water advisory here because of some infrastructure issue. It's laborious. But hey, Insect Trust!!
	9:02pm Webhamster Henry: HI there, AR!
	👻 9:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:02 Woah. I'm sorry about the boil order. That sucks. Good luck! Thanks for helping out last hour!
	👻 9:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:02 Yay! It's Webhamster Henry!
	9:02pm Krys O.: I learned about the Insect Trust working in the record library at WFMU as a college student.
	9:04pm Mr. X: ↳ Krys O. @9:02 I would imagine WFMU's music library covers acres by now.
	9:05pm postconsumer: ↳ Mr. X @9:04 I always wonder about that...
	👻 9:05pm ramencity: hullo
	9:06pm Feldy: Hey Austin!
	9:06pm postconsumer: Occasionally, I'll see pics online of current DJs at the station and I always want to see the library...
	9:08pm Imaginos: Ooh! Fun!
	9:10pm Mr. X: Everything okay there, Austin? We're stuck on Holly Hop.
	9:11pm Mr. X: Ah, there it goes! Never mind.
	9:11pm Webhamster Henry: The library is pretty huge, and so is the digital library.
	👻 9:11pm Austin Rich: Tech issues behind the scenes. Sorry!
	9:11pm postconsumer: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:11 I can only imagine. Would love to see it someday.
	9:12pm Imaginos: No insects? Brunnen-G family?
	9:14pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ postconsumer @9:11 pix: www.instagram.com...
	👻 9:20pm Austin Rich: Tonight's show might have a few tech glitches... hopefully I can sort it out behind the scenes without anyone hearing too many moving parts. Still... I appreciate your patience.
	9:23pm Feldy: I’m here for all the tech issues and real radio artifacts
	9:24pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:20 Thanks for doing your magic.
	👻 9:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "I Tried" by "Damaged Bug" I have become a fan of this song since doing this show.
	9:25pm DraculasPissBoy: The Bugs are back
	👻 9:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ DraculasPissBoy @9:25 We try to keep it dark and dank.
	9:26pm DraculasPissBoy: ↳ Austin Rich @9:25 🦇🔥🦇
	9:27pm Krys O.: G'night, all! Take care!
	👻 9:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:27 Don't let the... etc. cliche bite.
	9:29pm Barno (from Akron): How do you do, fellow kids?
	9:29pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @9:28 p.s. Music critic Robert Palmer (no relation to you know who) was in The Insect Trust. He also died way too young. en.wikipedia.org...
	9:30pm Imaginos: ↳ DraculasPissBoy @9:25 For all the insects, it would have been Interesting to hear The Masters of Krikkit singing
	9:30pm Barno (from Akron): Taking my son to work, as usual at this time
	9:31pm Mr. X: I try to keep bugs out of the house. An elusive fly got into the house today, and it drove me crazy. But now I realize it was a visitation in honor of this evening's show.
	9:32pm postconsumer: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:14 thanks!
	👻 9:32pm ramencity: Long ago I saw a touring band that pretended they were bugs, and said that their shows were put on for bugs - humans tolerated. Their greatest show was in some park, "Playing for millions of insects!" I think they were called The Laughing Tree
	9:34pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Next Time" by "Moth" The intro sounds kind of like the Dandy Warhols.
	9:35pm Feldy: Better to be an Entenmann’s ologist
	9:35pm DraculasPissBoy: Mothra’s proctologist
	9:36pm Mr. X: ↳ DraculasPissBoy @9:35 Good band name idea!
	9:36pm Imaginos: Mother and Starfish is a very good song
	9:36pm DraculasPissBoy: ↳ Mr. X @9:36 🖤😂🖤
	👻 9:38pm ramencity: My cousin was in a band called Moth, but I don't know if they ever recorded anything under that name...
	9:39pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Tumbleweave" by "Black Moth" ...If PJ Harvey fronted RATM...
	9:41pm Imaginos: Alice Cooper considered naming his band The Earwigs.
	9:41pm Mr. X: I know bands hate being compared to other bands, but I can't help it.
	👻 9:41pm Austin Rich: Damn. I'm just having the worst luck today. Sorry about the glitches! I'll post a clean version to the archive tomorrow.
	9:42pm DraculasPissBoy: ↳ Austin Rich @9:41 Sounds killer Austin
	👻 9:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ DraculasPissBoy @9:42 Ahhh, thanks. I promise, I do better work than this, usually.
	9:45pm Barno (from Akron): My 8 year old son and I walked into Blair Alley Arcade in Eugene, the were playing a Tobacco song - my son said “it’s Black Moth Super Rainbow” The bartender was so impressed he gave us both a free drink - Hahaha!
	9:45pm DraculasPissBoy: ↳ Barno (from Akron) @9:45 Radical!
	9:46pm Mr. X: ↳ Barno (from Akron) @9:45 All your kids are musical geniuses, it appears.
	👻 9:47pm ramencity: ↳ Barno (from Akron) @9:45 Wow! My friend took his kids (7 and 10) to see Laurie Anderson awhile ago - the NPR boomers kept coming up to them and commenting on kids that young quietly listening to Laurie
	9:48pm Imaginos: youtu.be... Speaking of bugs
	9:48pm Barno (from Akron): We expose them to obscure music 😵‍💫
	9:50pm laurapanic: I'm late but here
	9:50pm Imaginos: Normal? Here?! Bwahahah!
	👻 9:50pm Heather: We have a bar here in town called The Bug Jar that has a big bug that flies on a track over the bar. In the music area, there's a whole apartment set bolted to the ceiling. The music area has surprisingly good sound for a dive bar and the bar has surprisingly slow service for a dive bar.
	9:51pm laurapanic: Recently, on the Radio is Broken show (a good show, friends on WFMU friends) the DJ played Moth Cock. It was really good, but the name made a lot of us laugh! Perfect!
	9:51pm Mr. X: ↳ Heather @9:50 Perfect for bar flies.
	👻 9:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather @9:50 Heather! Thanks for joining us.
	👻 9:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:51 Laurapanic! Hooray!
	👻 9:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:51 That is a great name!
	👻 9:54pm Heather: ↳ Mr. X @9:51 I mean.... the slow service and the fact that I've seen the tender give my beer to someone else more than once might indicate otherwise. But I do always get my drink eventually.
	9:55pm Imaginos: ↳ Heather @9:50 Speaking of bars, loosely, I haven't given up on Lost Christobel. I sent Austin some sound effects and a fake ad
	9:55pm laurapanic: ↳ Heather @9:50 sounds perfect!!
	👻 9:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather @9:54 That's every bar I've ever been to.
	👻 9:56pm Heather: ↳ laurapanic @9:55 Some cool bands come through there!
	👻 9:57pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @9:55 We must be lucky here. People wait their turns but the staff at other places are so often super great and fast for simple drinks!
	9:57pm laurapanic: ↳ Heather @9:56 oh? I love tiny venues with amazing shows. I'm playing a dive bar on Friday - they are not really a thing in Australia, so its kinda new. People are opening very small bars in abandoned shopfronts in low traffic areas people have forgotten.
	👻 9:58pm Heather: ↳ Imaginos @9:55 I was at a pool party the other night and a friend mentioned he still wants a part! Which I have chosen one for him! It's not forgotten.
	9:58pm Imaginos: ↳ Heather @9:58 Awesome!
	👻 9:59pm Heather: ↳ laurapanic @9:57 Ahh that should is going to be so good! If you ever find yourself in Upstate NY, we have oodles of dives that feature live music! You'd totally have your pick!
	9:59pm Mr. X: ↳ laurapanic @9:57 Can you link us to your music? I'd love to hear what laurapanic sounds like.
	9:59pm DraculasPissBoy: Dr Dimento KOME 98.5 FM
	👻 10:00pm Austin Rich: It has been so long since I played a real show. I really miss it.
	10:00pm Imaginos: ↳ Heather @9:59 Pub crawl!
	👻 10:00pm Heather: ↳ Mr. X @9:59 Me too!
	10:00pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Lamento of a Dinosaur" by "Helium Horse Fly" A spin-off project of Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. And it sounds like it.
	👻 10:00pm Heather: ↳ Imaginos @10:00 All across Upstate NY!
	10:01pm laurapanic: ↳ Mr. X @9:59 NOthing yet, we are currently recording, looking for a label....but here is a youtube vid: youtu.be...
	👻 10:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:00 I need to investigate more. I love that band.
	10:01pm Imaginos: ↳ Heather @10:00 Ending with a showing of The World's End
	10:02pm laurapanic: if anyone does instagram its www.instagram.com...
	10:02pm DraculasPissBoy: ↳ Austin Rich @10:00 This shows 🔥
	10:02pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "Lamento of a Dinosaur" by "Helium Horse Fly" this is delightful
	10:02pm Mr. X: ↳ laurapanic @10:01 Awesome! Thanks, I'll check it after the show.
	10:03pm DraculasPissBoy: Cut a rug 🕺
	👻 10:03pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Night of the Phantom" by "Hornet Leg" It has been so long since I heard this band! Thanks for bringing them back on my show, Xeres!
	10:04pm Imaginos: Dozing off but trying to keep going
	👻 10:04pm Heather: ↳ Imaginos @10:01 Perfect.
	👻 10:04pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:04 It is much later for you than for me. If you fall asleep: sleep well!
	10:04pm DraculasPissBoy: 4pm Honolulu time just prepping for mai tai’s
	10:04pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:04 Thank you
	👻 10:04pm Heather: ↳ laurapanic @10:02 Following!
	👻 10:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ DraculasPissBoy @10:04 Nice! Have one for me. I'm sippin' bourbon.
	10:06pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:03 I know we agree on a lot of the classics, but otherwise I never know what you are going to like.
	10:06pm Mr Fab: Hey gang, diggin the show. Ever heard of a band called The Beatles?!
	👻 10:06pm Austin Rich: Okay. I think I now have the glitch ironed out. (Fingers crossed.)
	10:07pm DraculasPissBoy: LSD-25 theme song
	👻 10:07pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:05 Just popped plenty a beer. Cheers!
	👻 10:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:06 My taste is sort of everywhere. But I do love most garage rock.
	👻 10:07pm Heather: ↳ Heather @10:07 *open. It's Tuesday. No plenty quantity of beer, alas.
	👻 10:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:06 They are ringing a bell. Maybe if you hum a tune I'll recognize them?
	10:07pm Mr. X: ↳ Mr Fab @10:06 We did throw in a Beatles joke, if that counts.
	👻 10:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:07 <shakes fist> "Rowdy Longhairs!"
	10:08pm Mr Fab: ↳ laurapanic @9:57 That’s a great idea, but it is so, so, so difficult to get a liquor license in the US.
	10:10pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Lifetimes" by "The Bird And The Bee" I'll be able to recycle this band when I do a Band Name Bingo about birds.
	10:14pm postconsumer: thanks for the tunes, Austin. Off to spaghetti!
	10:14pm DraculasPissBoy: Mind Spiders fantastico!
	10:18pm Barno (from Akron): I just drove past Time Travelers Records, X
	10:19pm Mr Fab: The Lime Spiders were really great. Not to mention Portland’s own Tarantula Ghoul.
	10:19pm Mr. X: ↳ Barno (from Akron) @10:18 Right on! Good to know you're keeping an eye on my cuz.
	10:19pm wenzo: Howdeeee
	10:22pm Barno (from Akron): @mr fab , Akron had a venue called the Lime Spider. It where the Black Keys played their early shows
	👻 10:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @10:19 Greetings Wenzo!
	10:23pm Barno (from Akron): Sorry for the misspellings I don’t have my glasses on
	👻 10:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Cartrouble" by "Adam & The Ants" For those who were curious: I used some digital tools to create the "instrumental" version of "Dirk Wears White Sox" for this show.
	👻 10:24pm Austin Rich: For Laura Panic: we are closing with a Dinosaur Jr. tune.
	10:24pm Barno (from Akron): Mr. X, your cuz and his family are loved in Akron 🙂
	👻 10:26pm Austin Rich: There's a whole lot of self-released tunes in the show this week. I always appreciate that.
	10:27pm Mr. X: ↳ Barno (from Akron) @10:24 Awww! Well, they are so deserving and talented.
	👻 10:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Mugged" by "SquidSacks" That certainly had a slight "Nirvana" sound to it.
	10:29pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:26 Cool. Yeah I am drawn to the struggling unkowns, bless them all.
	👻 10:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:29 Aren't we all?
	10:33pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @10:24 ooooh of course!!
	10:33pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "Ice Bear" by "Mind Spiders" here, we have a band called Lime Spiders.
	👻 10:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:33 As a long-time fan who has seen them a few times, their songs are never far from my thoughts.
	10:34pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:23 All intro, eh? I could totally karaoke that album, it's so good.
	👻 10:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:33 Lime Spiders rule!
	10:34pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:34 Ha, beat ya to it!
	10:35pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @10:34 I date someone who I like to dub "Australia's biggest Dino Jr fan" ....remember he flew to NYC in December to see 6 shows in a row.
	👻 10:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:34 I can send you the instrumental file. Maybe we need a Sheena's Karaoke party!
	10:35pm Mr Fab: ↳ Mr Fab @10:34 Actually, that was meant for laura, cuz I already mentioned the very fine Lime Spiders.
	👻 10:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:35 Oh, that's right! I'm not that big a fan. I interviewed Murph once, and I've seen them a few times. But I'm probably not America's biggest fan, by a long shot.
	10:36pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:35 That'd be great, thx!
	10:36pm laurapanic: ↳ laurapanic @10:35 my fandom has come from osmosis, though I did already have Farm, Give a Glimpse and Beyond.
	10:37pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @10:35 I see those guys, on the fan groups he is on. Some serious shit there, their fans are pretty crazy, mostly with the buying of every issue of every thing ever. And because J has done shoes and decks as well....lord!!
	👻 10:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:37 I might be more like that with Unwound than I am with most other 90's bands. I'm going to see them again in their "reunion" era, which is now, and I will see them again, if I can.
	10:38pm laurapanic: ↳ Mr Fab @10:35 I even had a quick scroll back to check, but I missed it! The singer had some fairly big meltdowns on social media recently after a couple of "Hey I'm back!" shows.....he is not a popular guy
	👻 10:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:38 Sometimes, I think social media is not for most people.
	10:40pm Mr Fab: ↳ laurapanic @10:38 Well, that sucks! is he really going mental, or just wrote some things he should not have said? never seen em live, but I imagine they must be wild.
	👻 10:40pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Midnight Wine" by "Shannon and The Clams" I quite liked that! I need to look into the album. Thanks again, Xeres!
	10:41pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:40 Great band. Can't go wrong with em.
	10:41pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @10:39 absolutely. its not for Bad Feelings.
	10:41pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Soft Science" by "Pearl & the Oysters" The lead vocalist sounds kind of like Gilbert O'Sullivan.
	10:42pm laurapanic: ↳ Mr Fab @10:40 I think he is part diva, part mental hassles. A bit of "don't you know who I am" with brains explosions.
	👻 10:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:41 I have also started to think, as I get older, that I don't really want to know everything everyone thinks. Not even people I like. Maybe I want to talk to them, but... beyond that feels wrong sometimes.
	10:43pm laurapanic: ↳ Mr Fab @10:40 my fella knows him (provided some photos for his book) and isn't a fan of the man, just the music.
	10:46pm wenzo: Lurk Lurk
	10:46pm DraculasPissBoy: 🦇Night Music🦇
	10:48pm Mr. X: AI was not used in the creation of this show. (or was it?)
	👻 10:49pm Austin Rich: "Ayyyy, I...'ll never tell."
	10:49pm DraculasPissBoy: Bitchin tune 🎶
	👻 10:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:43 It's always good to have a fella who knows people. Maybe I need one to help me start playing shows again?
	👻 10:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ DraculasPissBoy @10:49 Yeah. This was another great discovery from Xeres when he sent me the playlist for this show. HELL YEAH.
	10:50pm Mr. X: ↳ DraculasPissBoy @10:49 I'm turning it up.
	10:50pm DraculasPissBoy: ↳ Austin Rich @10:50 🔥🔥🔥🔥
	👻 10:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Negative Space" by "Hookworms" Another tune that I quite like from this playlist.
	10:52pm DraculasPissBoy: ↳ Austin Rich @10:51 Keep that fire coming
	10:52pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:51 I think the worm species are winning the playlist.
	👻 10:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:52 To quote my all worm-themed "Flipper" cover band, "That's the way, of the woooo-rm..."
	👻 10:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Negative Space" by "Hookworms" Sort of reminds me of LCD Soundsytem, or Les Savy Fave.
	10:55pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:53 Maybe we should keep my band's name The Giant Worm after all.
	👻 10:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:55 It's pretty wormy out there these days. "The Giant Worm" works.
	10:56pm DraculasPissBoy: The worms are back!
	👻 10:57pm Austin Rich: Maybe Giant Sand and you can get a gig together?
	10:57pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:57 Only if the spice is right.
	👻 10:59pm ramencity: Woims, I tells ya!
	👻 10:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:57 Did we already talk about Dune? Did you see the new ones, yet?
	10:59pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:59 Haven't seen part 2 yet.
	👻 11:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:59 Oh! Yeah, I will zip it.
	👻 11:00pm ramencity: ↳ Austin Rich @10:59 I just know that Gen Z considers Timothy Chalamet a "sexy rat." I get it.
	11:00pm Mr Fab: Well, the band Giant Sand was originally called Giant Sandworm on their earliest releases.
	11:00pm DraculasPissBoy: Dracula has entered the chat
	👻 11:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @11:00 I thought I remembered that. I saw Howe Gelb play solo many years ago, but never the full band.
	11:02pm Mr. X: Our guitarist was compaining that he wants to get away from the whole Frank Herbert inference, and change our name.
	11:02pm JM in Texas: Howdy! I’m all the way late for tonight’s show, but what a “bug” theme. Will enjoy this in the archives. Cheers!
	👻 11:02pm Heather: Awesome show, Xeres and Austin! So fun! Can't wait for the next one!!
	11:03pm Mr. X: ↳ Heather @11:02 Cool, thanks! Yes, it's in the works.
	👻 11:04pm Heather: ↳ Mr. X @11:03 I'll be tuned in!
	11:04pm Hunterian: Fine show tonight, thanks!
	11:05pm wenzo: Oh yea, don’t think I congratulated you last night! I was surprised it’s only been 2 years actually…
	11:05pm DraculasPissBoy: Grazie Austin
	11:06pm wenzo: Thanks AR! Thanks Mr. X!
	11:07pm Mr. X: Thanks for giving me an excuse to explore some fun music, everyone! And thanks for being the host with the most, Austin!
	👻 11:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "In A Jar" by "Dinosaur Jr." My fave band when I was in late High School / early 20's. I have grow to love other bands more, but I still think of the first few Dinosaur albums a fair amount.
	👻 11:07pm ramencity: Ciao ciao ragazze e ragazzi!
	👻 11:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @11:07 Always. We make a good team.
	11:08pm Mr Fab: ↳ Mr Fab @11:00 Mr. X! Mr. Rich! The show did not bug me at all.
	👻 11:08pm Austin Rich: I always love it when J starts layering the guitars. Starts getting all "My Bloody Valentine" about everything.
	11:10pm Mr. X: ↳ Mr Fab @11:08 Damn! And we tried so hard! Maybe next time.

Mid-Valley Mutations with Austin Rich: Playlist from June 25, 2024

View austinrich's profile

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

Listener comments!
	👻 7:39pm Austin Rich: Good Hello
	8:57pm Imaginos: Ahoy!
	8:59pm Mr. X: Hello chatters! This production is a sequel to our April 16, 2024 show, "The Food Pyramid." wfmu.org...
	👻 9:00pm Austin Rich: Imaginos and Mr. X! The chat's off to a good start tonight.
	9:01pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Walking On Nails" by "The Insect Trust" The only reason I've heard of this band is because I bought a coffee table book about artsy album covers.
	9:02pm Krys O.: Hello dere. It's been an exhausting evening. We have a boil water advisory here because of some infrastructure issue. It's laborious. But hey, Insect Trust!!
	9:02pm Webhamster Henry: HI there, AR!
	👻 9:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:02 Woah. I'm sorry about the boil order. That sucks. Good luck! Thanks for helping out last hour!
	👻 9:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:02 Yay! It's Webhamster Henry!
	9:02pm Krys O.: I learned about the Insect Trust working in the record library at WFMU as a college student.
	9:04pm Mr. X: ↳ Krys O. @9:02 I would imagine WFMU's music library covers acres by now.
	9:05pm postconsumer: ↳ Mr. X @9:04 I always wonder about that...
	👻 9:05pm ramencity: hullo
	9:06pm Feldy: Hey Austin!
	9:06pm postconsumer: Occasionally, I'll see pics online of current DJs at the station and I always want to see the library...
	9:08pm Imaginos: Ooh! Fun!
	9:10pm Mr. X: Everything okay there, Austin? We're stuck on Holly Hop.
	9:11pm Mr. X: Ah, there it goes! Never mind.
	9:11pm Webhamster Henry: The library is pretty huge, and so is the digital library.
	👻 9:11pm Austin Rich: Tech issues behind the scenes. Sorry!
	9:11pm postconsumer: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:11 I can only imagine. Would love to see it someday.
	9:12pm Imaginos: No insects? Brunnen-G family?
	9:14pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ postconsumer @9:11 pix: www.instagram.com...
	👻 9:20pm Austin Rich: Tonight's show might have a few tech glitches... hopefully I can sort it out behind the scenes without anyone hearing too many moving parts. Still... I appreciate your patience.
	9:23pm Feldy: I’m here for all the tech issues and real radio artifacts
	9:24pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:20 Thanks for doing your magic.
	👻 9:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "I Tried" by "Damaged Bug" I have become a fan of this song since doing this show.
	9:25pm DraculasPissBoy: The Bugs are back
	👻 9:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ DraculasPissBoy @9:25 We try to keep it dark and dank.
	9:26pm DraculasPissBoy: ↳ Austin Rich @9:25 🦇🔥🦇
	9:27pm Krys O.: G'night, all! Take care!
	👻 9:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:27 Don't let the... etc. cliche bite.
	9:29pm Barno (from Akron): How do you do, fellow kids?
	9:29pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @9:28 p.s. Music critic Robert Palmer (no relation to you know who) was in The Insect Trust. He also died way too young. en.wikipedia.org...
	9:30pm Imaginos: ↳ DraculasPissBoy @9:25 For all the insects, it would have been Interesting to hear The Masters of Krikkit singing
	9:30pm Barno (from Akron): Taking my son to work, as usual at this time
	9:31pm Mr. X: I try to keep bugs out of the house. An elusive fly got into the house today, and it drove me crazy. But now I realize it was a visitation in honor of this evening's show.
	9:32pm postconsumer: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:14 thanks!
	👻 9:32pm ramencity: Long ago I saw a touring band that pretended they were bugs, and said that their shows were put on for bugs - humans tolerated. Their greatest show was in some park, "Playing for millions of insects!" I think they were called The Laughing Tree
	9:34pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Next Time" by "Moth" The intro sounds kind of like the Dandy Warhols.
	9:35pm Feldy: Better to be an Entenmann’s ologist
	9:35pm DraculasPissBoy: Mothra’s proctologist
	9:36pm Mr. X: ↳ DraculasPissBoy @9:35 Good band name idea!
	9:36pm Imaginos: Mother and Starfish is a very good song
	9:36pm DraculasPissBoy: ↳ Mr. X @9:36 🖤😂🖤
	👻 9:38pm ramencity: My cousin was in a band called Moth, but I don't know if they ever recorded anything under that name...
	9:39pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Tumbleweave" by "Black Moth" ...If PJ Harvey fronted RATM...
	9:41pm Imaginos: Alice Cooper considered naming his band The Earwigs.
	9:41pm Mr. X: I know bands hate being compared to other bands, but I can't help it.
	👻 9:41pm Austin Rich: Damn. I'm just having the worst luck today. Sorry about the glitches! I'll post a clean version to the archive tomorrow.
	9:42pm DraculasPissBoy: ↳ Austin Rich @9:41 Sounds killer Austin
	👻 9:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ DraculasPissBoy @9:42 Ahhh, thanks. I promise, I do better work than this, usually.
	9:45pm Barno (from Akron): My 8 year old son and I walked into Blair Alley Arcade in Eugene, the were playing a Tobacco song - my son said “it’s Black Moth Super Rainbow” The bartender was so impressed he gave us both a free drink - Hahaha!
	9:45pm DraculasPissBoy: ↳ Barno (from Akron) @9:45 Radical!
	9:46pm Mr. X: ↳ Barno (from Akron) @9:45 All your kids are musical geniuses, it appears.
	👻 9:47pm ramencity: ↳ Barno (from Akron) @9:45 Wow! My friend took his kids (7 and 10) to see Laurie Anderson awhile ago - the NPR boomers kept coming up to them and commenting on kids that young quietly listening to Laurie
	9:48pm Imaginos: youtu.be... Speaking of bugs
	9:48pm Barno (from Akron): We expose them to obscure music 😵‍💫
	9:50pm laurapanic: I'm late but here
	9:50pm Imaginos: Normal? Here?! Bwahahah!
	👻 9:50pm Heather: We have a bar here in town called The Bug Jar that has a big bug that flies on a track over the bar. In the music area, there's a whole apartment set bolted to the ceiling. The music area has surprisingly good sound for a dive bar and the bar has surprisingly slow service for a dive bar.
	9:51pm laurapanic: Recently, on the Radio is Broken show (a good show, friends on WFMU friends) the DJ played Moth Cock. It was really good, but the name made a lot of us laugh! Perfect!
	9:51pm Mr. X: ↳ Heather @9:50 Perfect for bar flies.
	👻 9:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather @9:50 Heather! Thanks for joining us.
	👻 9:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:51 Laurapanic! Hooray!
	👻 9:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:51 That is a great name!
	👻 9:54pm Heather: ↳ Mr. X @9:51 I mean.... the slow service and the fact that I've seen the tender give my beer to someone else more than once might indicate otherwise. But I do always get my drink eventually.
	9:55pm Imaginos: ↳ Heather @9:50 Speaking of bars, loosely, I haven't given up on Lost Christobel. I sent Austin some sound effects and a fake ad
	9:55pm laurapanic: ↳ Heather @9:50 sounds perfect!!
	👻 9:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather @9:54 That's every bar I've ever been to.
	👻 9:56pm Heather: ↳ laurapanic @9:55 Some cool bands come through there!
	👻 9:57pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @9:55 We must be lucky here. People wait their turns but the staff at other places are so often super great and fast for simple drinks!
	9:57pm laurapanic: ↳ Heather @9:56 oh? I love tiny venues with amazing shows. I'm playing a dive bar on Friday - they are not really a thing in Australia, so its kinda new. People are opening very small bars in abandoned shopfronts in low traffic areas people have forgotten.
	👻 9:58pm Heather: ↳ Imaginos @9:55 I was at a pool party the other night and a friend mentioned he still wants a part! Which I have chosen one for him! It's not forgotten.
	9:58pm Imaginos: ↳ Heather @9:58 Awesome!
	👻 9:59pm Heather: ↳ laurapanic @9:57 Ahh that should is going to be so good! If you ever find yourself in Upstate NY, we have oodles of dives that feature live music! You'd totally have your pick!
	9:59pm Mr. X: ↳ laurapanic @9:57 Can you link us to your music? I'd love to hear what laurapanic sounds like.
	9:59pm DraculasPissBoy: Dr Dimento KOME 98.5 FM
	👻 10:00pm Austin Rich: It has been so long since I played a real show. I really miss it.
	10:00pm Imaginos: ↳ Heather @9:59 Pub crawl!
	👻 10:00pm Heather: ↳ Mr. X @9:59 Me too!
	10:00pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Lamento of a Dinosaur" by "Helium Horse Fly" A spin-off project of Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. And it sounds like it.
	👻 10:00pm Heather: ↳ Imaginos @10:00 All across Upstate NY!
	10:01pm laurapanic: ↳ Mr. X @9:59 NOthing yet, we are currently recording, looking for a label....but here is a youtube vid: youtu.be...
	👻 10:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:00 I need to investigate more. I love that band.
	10:01pm Imaginos: ↳ Heather @10:00 Ending with a showing of The World's End
	10:02pm laurapanic: if anyone does instagram its www.instagram.com...
	10:02pm DraculasPissBoy: ↳ Austin Rich @10:00 This shows 🔥
	10:02pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "Lamento of a Dinosaur" by "Helium Horse Fly" this is delightful
	10:02pm Mr. X: ↳ laurapanic @10:01 Awesome! Thanks, I'll check it after the show.
	10:03pm DraculasPissBoy: Cut a rug 🕺
	👻 10:03pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Night of the Phantom" by "Hornet Leg" It has been so long since I heard this band! Thanks for bringing them back on my show, Xeres!
	10:04pm Imaginos: Dozing off but trying to keep going
	👻 10:04pm Heather: ↳ Imaginos @10:01 Perfect.
	👻 10:04pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:04 It is much later for you than for me. If you fall asleep: sleep well!
	10:04pm DraculasPissBoy: 4pm Honolulu time just prepping for mai tai’s
	10:04pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @10:04 Thank you
	👻 10:04pm Heather: ↳ laurapanic @10:02 Following!
	👻 10:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ DraculasPissBoy @10:04 Nice! Have one for me. I'm sippin' bourbon.
	10:06pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:03 I know we agree on a lot of the classics, but otherwise I never know what you are going to like.
	10:06pm Mr Fab: Hey gang, diggin the show. Ever heard of a band called The Beatles?!
	👻 10:06pm Austin Rich: Okay. I think I now have the glitch ironed out. (Fingers crossed.)
	10:07pm DraculasPissBoy: LSD-25 theme song
	👻 10:07pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:05 Just popped plenty a beer. Cheers!
	👻 10:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:06 My taste is sort of everywhere. But I do love most garage rock.
	👻 10:07pm Heather: ↳ Heather @10:07 *open. It's Tuesday. No plenty quantity of beer, alas.
	👻 10:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:06 They are ringing a bell. Maybe if you hum a tune I'll recognize them?
	10:07pm Mr. X: ↳ Mr Fab @10:06 We did throw in a Beatles joke, if that counts.
	👻 10:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:07 <shakes fist> "Rowdy Longhairs!"
	10:08pm Mr Fab: ↳ laurapanic @9:57 That’s a great idea, but it is so, so, so difficult to get a liquor license in the US.
	10:10pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Lifetimes" by "The Bird And The Bee" I'll be able to recycle this band when I do a Band Name Bingo about birds.
	10:14pm postconsumer: thanks for the tunes, Austin. Off to spaghetti!
	10:14pm DraculasPissBoy: Mind Spiders fantastico!
	10:18pm Barno (from Akron): I just drove past Time Travelers Records, X
	10:19pm Mr Fab: The Lime Spiders were really great. Not to mention Portland’s own Tarantula Ghoul.
	10:19pm Mr. X: ↳ Barno (from Akron) @10:18 Right on! Good to know you're keeping an eye on my cuz.
	10:19pm wenzo: Howdeeee
	10:22pm Barno (from Akron): @mr fab , Akron had a venue called the Lime Spider. It where the Black Keys played their early shows
	👻 10:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @10:19 Greetings Wenzo!
	10:23pm Barno (from Akron): Sorry for the misspellings I don’t have my glasses on
	👻 10:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Cartrouble" by "Adam & The Ants" For those who were curious: I used some digital tools to create the "instrumental" version of "Dirk Wears White Sox" for this show.
	👻 10:24pm Austin Rich: For Laura Panic: we are closing with a Dinosaur Jr. tune.
	10:24pm Barno (from Akron): Mr. X, your cuz and his family are loved in Akron 🙂
	👻 10:26pm Austin Rich: There's a whole lot of self-released tunes in the show this week. I always appreciate that.
	10:27pm Mr. X: ↳ Barno (from Akron) @10:24 Awww! Well, they are so deserving and talented.
	👻 10:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Mugged" by "SquidSacks" That certainly had a slight "Nirvana" sound to it.
	10:29pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:26 Cool. Yeah I am drawn to the struggling unkowns, bless them all.
	👻 10:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:29 Aren't we all?
	10:33pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @10:24 ooooh of course!!
	10:33pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "Ice Bear" by "Mind Spiders" here, we have a band called Lime Spiders.
	👻 10:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:33 As a long-time fan who has seen them a few times, their songs are never far from my thoughts.
	10:34pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:23 All intro, eh? I could totally karaoke that album, it's so good.
	👻 10:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:33 Lime Spiders rule!
	10:34pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:34 Ha, beat ya to it!
	10:35pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @10:34 I date someone who I like to dub "Australia's biggest Dino Jr fan" ....remember he flew to NYC in December to see 6 shows in a row.
	👻 10:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:34 I can send you the instrumental file. Maybe we need a Sheena's Karaoke party!
	10:35pm Mr Fab: ↳ Mr Fab @10:34 Actually, that was meant for laura, cuz I already mentioned the very fine Lime Spiders.
	👻 10:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:35 Oh, that's right! I'm not that big a fan. I interviewed Murph once, and I've seen them a few times. But I'm probably not America's biggest fan, by a long shot.
	10:36pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:35 That'd be great, thx!
	10:36pm laurapanic: ↳ laurapanic @10:35 my fandom has come from osmosis, though I did already have Farm, Give a Glimpse and Beyond.
	10:37pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @10:35 I see those guys, on the fan groups he is on. Some serious shit there, their fans are pretty crazy, mostly with the buying of every issue of every thing ever. And because J has done shoes and decks as well....lord!!
	👻 10:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:37 I might be more like that with Unwound than I am with most other 90's bands. I'm going to see them again in their "reunion" era, which is now, and I will see them again, if I can.
	10:38pm laurapanic: ↳ Mr Fab @10:35 I even had a quick scroll back to check, but I missed it! The singer had some fairly big meltdowns on social media recently after a couple of "Hey I'm back!" shows.....he is not a popular guy
	👻 10:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:38 Sometimes, I think social media is not for most people.
	10:40pm Mr Fab: ↳ laurapanic @10:38 Well, that sucks! is he really going mental, or just wrote some things he should not have said? never seen em live, but I imagine they must be wild.
	👻 10:40pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Midnight Wine" by "Shannon and The Clams" I quite liked that! I need to look into the album. Thanks again, Xeres!
	10:41pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:40 Great band. Can't go wrong with em.
	10:41pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @10:39 absolutely. its not for Bad Feelings.
	10:41pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Soft Science" by "Pearl & the Oysters" The lead vocalist sounds kind of like Gilbert O'Sullivan.
	10:42pm laurapanic: ↳ Mr Fab @10:40 I think he is part diva, part mental hassles. A bit of "don't you know who I am" with brains explosions.
	👻 10:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:41 I have also started to think, as I get older, that I don't really want to know everything everyone thinks. Not even people I like. Maybe I want to talk to them, but... beyond that feels wrong sometimes.
	10:43pm laurapanic: ↳ Mr Fab @10:40 my fella knows him (provided some photos for his book) and isn't a fan of the man, just the music.
	10:46pm wenzo: Lurk Lurk
	10:46pm DraculasPissBoy: 🦇Night Music🦇
	10:48pm Mr. X: AI was not used in the creation of this show. (or was it?)
	👻 10:49pm Austin Rich: "Ayyyy, I...'ll never tell."
	10:49pm DraculasPissBoy: Bitchin tune 🎶
	👻 10:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:43 It's always good to have a fella who knows people. Maybe I need one to help me start playing shows again?
	👻 10:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ DraculasPissBoy @10:49 Yeah. This was another great discovery from Xeres when he sent me the playlist for this show. HELL YEAH.
	10:50pm Mr. X: ↳ DraculasPissBoy @10:49 I'm turning it up.
	10:50pm DraculasPissBoy: ↳ Austin Rich @10:50 🔥🔥🔥🔥
	👻 10:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Negative Space" by "Hookworms" Another tune that I quite like from this playlist.
	10:52pm DraculasPissBoy: ↳ Austin Rich @10:51 Keep that fire coming
	10:52pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:51 I think the worm species are winning the playlist.
	👻 10:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:52 To quote my all worm-themed "Flipper" cover band, "That's the way, of the woooo-rm..."
	👻 10:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Negative Space" by "Hookworms" Sort of reminds me of LCD Soundsytem, or Les Savy Fave.
	10:55pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:53 Maybe we should keep my band's name The Giant Worm after all.
	👻 10:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:55 It's pretty wormy out there these days. "The Giant Worm" works.
	10:56pm DraculasPissBoy: The worms are back!
	👻 10:57pm Austin Rich: Maybe Giant Sand and you can get a gig together?
	10:57pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:57 Only if the spice is right.
	👻 10:59pm ramencity: Woims, I tells ya!
	👻 10:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:57 Did we already talk about Dune? Did you see the new ones, yet?
	10:59pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:59 Haven't seen part 2 yet.
	👻 11:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:59 Oh! Yeah, I will zip it.
	👻 11:00pm ramencity: ↳ Austin Rich @10:59 I just know that Gen Z considers Timothy Chalamet a "sexy rat." I get it.
	11:00pm Mr Fab: Well, the band Giant Sand was originally called Giant Sandworm on their earliest releases.
	11:00pm DraculasPissBoy: Dracula has entered the chat
	👻 11:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @11:00 I thought I remembered that. I saw Howe Gelb play solo many years ago, but never the full band.
	11:02pm Mr. X: Our guitarist was compaining that he wants to get away from the whole Frank Herbert inference, and change our name.
	11:02pm JM in Texas: Howdy! I’m all the way late for tonight’s show, but what a “bug” theme. Will enjoy this in the archives. Cheers!
	👻 11:02pm Heather: Awesome show, Xeres and Austin! So fun! Can't wait for the next one!!
	11:03pm Mr. X: ↳ Heather @11:02 Cool, thanks! Yes, it's in the works.
	👻 11:04pm Heather: ↳ Mr. X @11:03 I'll be tuned in!
	11:04pm Hunterian: Fine show tonight, thanks!
	11:05pm wenzo: Oh yea, don’t think I congratulated you last night! I was surprised it’s only been 2 years actually…
	11:05pm DraculasPissBoy: Grazie Austin
	11:06pm wenzo: Thanks AR! Thanks Mr. X!
	11:07pm Mr. X: Thanks for giving me an excuse to explore some fun music, everyone! And thanks for being the host with the most, Austin!
	👻 11:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "In A Jar" by "Dinosaur Jr." My fave band when I was in late High School / early 20's. I have grow to love other bands more, but I still think of the first few Dinosaur albums a fair amount.
	👻 11:07pm ramencity: Ciao ciao ragazze e ragazzi!
	👻 11:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @11:07 Always. We make a good team.
	11:08pm Mr Fab: ↳ Mr Fab @11:00 Mr. X! Mr. Rich! The show did not bug me at all.
	👻 11:08pm Austin Rich: I always love it when J starts layering the guitars. Starts getting all "My Bloody Valentine" about everything.
	11:10pm Mr. X: ↳ Mr Fab @11:08 Damn! And we tried so hard! Maybe next time.
