	7:11pm Krys O.: Hi!
	7:36pm postconsumer: Hi, Krys! The big finale in ...24 minutes! :)
	👻 7:39pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	👻 7:48pm Austin Rich: I've been thinking of re-watching this show. This might be the inspiration that makes me do it.
	7:55pm Imaginos: Ahoy, me hearties! Nice to be here
	👻 7:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @7:55 Nice to see you. And we get a bit of "Coyle & Sharpe" as we lead into tonight's shows.
	7:56pm Krys O.: $46 in 1960 would be worth $480 today. Gosh, that Coyle and Sharpe was hilarious. I know Mel Sharpe's daughter.
	👻 7:57pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @7:56 Woah! Very cool! Man, those two were the funniest. I need to re-listen to that stuff. I remember loosing my mind over how good it was.
	7:57pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @7:56 Sounds like fun
	7:57pm postconsumer: Welcome Imaginos, Krys and Austin. Thanks for tuning in and for signaling your chat-readiness as well...
	7:58pm postconsumer: Austin, if you're curious about Northern Exposure, I'm your man. I've been obsessing over it the past few months, and really obsessed over it in the 90s...
	👻 7:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @7:58 I used to watch it back in the day, but not since. I should dig it up; I remember it being very good.
	7:59pm postconsumer: Often at the library, and currently streaming on prime. for the first time...
	8:00pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @7:57 How do they compare to the Interwoven Pair?
	👻 8:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @8:00 I don't know them! Are they a comedy duo?
	8:02pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @8:01 Yes. Also known as The Happiness Boys
	👻 8:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Chris Stevens" Man, we are lucky to have a radio legend on Sheena's and WFMU!
	👻 8:03pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @8:02 I'll have to look it up!
	8:03pm postconsumer: ↳ Imaginos @8:02 them, I've heard of. right? Weren't they the ones with a super early example of sound collage pop? Or is it the Sunshine Boys... can't remember
	8:04pm postconsumer: ↳ Austin Rich @8:02 that's right!
	👻 8:04pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "America" by "Rita Moreno, George Chakiris and Cast" This song feels like it was written yesterday.
	8:06pm Imaginos: ↳ postconsumer @8:03 Not sure but the Happiness Boys did novelty songs and comedy acts in the 20s
	8:06pm egould: ↳ Song: "America" by "Rita Moreno, George Chakiris and Cast" Dancing singing gangs of juvenile delinquents. If only we could resolve conflicts through dance in the real world...
	8:08pm Imaginos: ↳ egould @8:06 So everyone in Congress dances and then both candidates die? Might have something there.
	👻 8:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ egould @8:06 I would join a dancing gang if it meant reduced violence. Those moves are boss!
	👻 8:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "The American Ruse" by "MC5" More MC5, please. Thank you.
	8:10pm Krys O.: Of course MH Lee has played the Happiness Boys on Merrily We Roll Along.
	8:11pm postconsumer: ↳ Austin Rich @8:04 It really did! Every song here is chosen from the perspective of what the host is discussing, so we get a real tug of war between "America is so great!" and... "but on the other hand..." It just flew together. I listen to this hour more than any of the others, just working.
	8:11pm egould: ↳ Song: "Chris Stevens" Hey that's the dude from 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding', huh?
	👻 8:12pm Austin Rich: I should listen to the other ones. I forgot this was happening.
	👻 8:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "The Story of the Farmer/Warrior" by "Marilyn Whir... I loved her appearances on Bill Nye, The Science Guy. She was one of my favorite parts of Northern Exposure.
	8:15pm postconsumer: ↳ egould @8:11 yes! I'll always think of him as the dj from northern exposure though. or the guy carrie should have gone with on sex in the city 🤣
	8:17pm Dan S: Some very nice smooth segues you're doing tonight, Mr. (or Ms.) DJ. Sorry, I don't know your name.
	👻 8:17pm Austin Rich: I guess I should get around to doing my "Pump Up The Volume" show one of these days...
	8:18pm postconsumer: ↳ Austin Rich @8:17 um. 🤣 Are we both working on one then?
	8:18pm postconsumer: That's hilarious.
	👻 8:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @8:18 Ha! If you have one started, I'll let you do it. I was thinking about how influential that movie was on me.
	8:19pm postconsumer: you should do one, too!
	👻 8:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @8:18 That movie, AND that soundtrack.
	8:19pm egould: ↳ Austin Rich @8:19 That soundtrack tho.
	8:20pm postconsumer: I'm just doing it by request, so our motivations are totally different. Would be fascinating to hear how different they turned out...
	👻 8:20pm Austin Rich: A one point around 2009 I put together an "expanded" soundtrack, with clips from the movie, and the other songs that were in the film / not on the soundtrack. I should dig that out.
	8:21pm postconsumer: I'm not sure I saw it as a kid. Or I saw it on a date, maybe, as I remember hearing it, but didn't see much... 🤣
	👻 8:23pm Austin Rich: Unfortunately, "Over The Edge" is a better movie, and so much of "Pump up The Volume" is stolen from it that I feel a little weird about those films, now. But you can't change what you loved as a youth, even if it was a bit of a rip-off.
	👻 8:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Chris Stevens" I'm really loving the images that you picked for these bits. Very, very cool!
	8:24pm postconsumer: ↳ Dan S @8:17 Welcome, Dan! I'm Jon Nelson, producer of this show :)
	8:24pm Krys O.: John Corbett married Bo Derek four years ago.
	8:25pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Chris Stevens" That was strange and ambivalent. I like the quote from Whitman, anyway.
	8:25pm egould: ↳ Austin Rich @8:20 Btw, thank you for recommending the Robert B. Parker 'Spenser' series last year. I've been collecting volumes at used bookstores since then. I'm off work for the next couple of weeks and am going to start reading them.
	8:25pm postconsumer: ↳ Austin Rich @8:24 thanks! I took screenshots from favorite episodes.
	👻 8:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @8:24 So cool that you know Chris. How lucky.
	8:26pm Dan S: ↳ postconsumer @8:24 Hi. Is it just me, or did the sound just cut out for everyone?
	👻 8:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ egould @8:25 I picked up a Parker book to read while camping a while back! That guy can write a novel.
	8:26pm Krys O.: ↳ Dan S @8:26 Sounds okay here.
	8:26pm postconsumer: ↳ Dan S @8:25 That's Chris Stevens in a nutshell. Sees both sides and has lots to say about both.
	8:27pm postconsumer: ↳ Dan S @8:26 might have to restart the stream, on your computer. happens to me sometimes and I think there's a problem, but it's just my computer. That's a guess...
	8:27pm Dan S: ↳ Krys O. @8:26 OK, I just reloaded the stream, and it seems to be OK again.
	8:27pm postconsumer: ↳ Austin Rich @8:25 Maybe
	8:29pm postconsumer: ↳ Krys O. @8:24 It surprised me when I heard they were together. Met shortly after Northern Exposure, iirc. I never thought of him that way, but of course he's very handsome, and she's gorgeous. It's like staring into the sun, if you ever see them together. ouch. 🤣
	8:30pm postconsumer: My point is that he started his career as a model, or doing commercials anyway. I'll always just think of him as crusty Chris Stevens. He does clean up well though!
	8:33pm postconsumer: I'd put him up there with Doctor Johnny Fever as one of the most iconic TV radio DJs ever.
	8:33pm Krys O.: ↳ postconsumer @8:30 He was on The Wonder Years for a bit.
	👻 8:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Fanfare for the Common Man" by "Aaron Copland" I've always wondered what it actually means (in musical terms) to "conduct oneself." According to my mom, if I don't conduct myself quickly, I'll get thwacked in the head again. But I wonder if that's something else?
	👻 8:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @8:33 I do love them both.
	8:34pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:33 You are the conductor of the train that is you.
	8:35pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Fanfare for the Common Man" by "Aaron Copland" From Wikipedia: Fanfare for the Common Man is a musical work by the American composer Aaron Copland. It was written in 1942 for the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra under conductor Eugene Goossens and was inspired in part by a speech made earlier that year by then American Vice President Henry A. Wallace, in which Wallace proclaimed the dawning of the "Century of the Common Man".
	8:35pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @8:33 You must conduct your conduct
	8:35pm postconsumer: ↳ Krys O. @8:33 I saw that on YouTube! Played a young man who could easily be mistaken for a young Chris Stevens, himself.
	👻 8:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Dan S @8:35 FINALLY! A century for the rest of us.
	8:36pm postconsumer: ↳ Austin Rich @8:33 You're full of beans today, mister.
	8:37pm postconsumer: Were you serious about not knowing what conducting yourself meant? probably not I just can't read rooms.
	8:37pm postconsumer: I grew up listening to that record around the house. That actual record. Dad was a big fan.
	👻 8:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @8:37 I saw this movie again not long ago, and it was like I was watching a movie written last week. It's basically still 100% relevant.
	8:38pm Dan S: ↳ Austin Rich @8:36 But maybe not this century, sadly.
	👻 8:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ Dan S @8:38 Zing.
	8:39pm postconsumer: ↳ Austin Rich @8:38 It's still a thousand percent relevant. Yes, very frustrating to see the small changes which have taken place in just, oh, half a century.
	👻 8:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @8:37 I didn't actually get confused by that word similarity, but I have noticed it recently, and have been working on a good joke for it.
	8:41pm postconsumer: ↳ Austin Rich @8:39 word similarity? I had a feeling I was missing something...
	👻 8:41pm Austin Rich: "Conduct" and "Conduct." (And, "Conduct" if we include electrical meanings.)
	8:42pm Krys O.: Conduct yourselves to the dinner table.
	8:43pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Revolution" by "The Beatles" Does anyone go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao these days? Even in China?
	8:43pm egould: ↳ postconsumer @8:41 Thanks for the music. But alas, there are carnitas tacos and fizzy vodka cocktails awaiting.
	👻 8:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ egould @8:43 Yum.
	8:44pm postconsumer: ↳ egould @8:43 Thanks for listening! Full archive available now at: awphooey.com/kbhr
	👻 8:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ Dan S @8:43 I'm sure some hipster does for the joke when this song comes up... but probably not earnestly, anymore.
	8:45pm postconsumer: I know. I miss carnitas like nobody's business.
	8:46pm postconsumer: ↳ Krys O. @8:42 now I know how my son feels when I try to kid with puns. Sorry, Austin. I'm quick with a pun, myself, but apparently a little slow on the uptake...
	8:48pm Krys O.: ↳ postconsumer @8:46 One of my classmates in high school was relentless with his puns. He actually became a pundit on TV. Pun intended.
	👻 8:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @8:46 There's no punishment for missing a joke. Just punt on the next one and it'll all work out. We all (occasionally) punch above our weight.
	8:49pm Krys O.: Simple Gifts is a great tune.
	8:51pm Dan S: ↳ Krys O. @8:49 Yes, and Copland incorporated it so well into this piece.
	👻 8:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "America" by "Simon and Garfunkel" This song...
	8:52pm postconsumer: ↳ Austin Rich @8:52 yes?
	👻 8:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @8:52 It's pretty damn good.
	8:53pm postconsumer: ↳ Krys O. @8:49 always makes me feel SO. yes.
	8:53pm postconsumer: ↳ Austin Rich @8:53 😂
	8:55pm Krys O.: Thanks so much for such a great bunch of special programs, Jon!
	8:56pm Dan S: Some great songs played in this hour. I know there isn't time here for every song about America, but if I had one more to suggest, I'd go with Phil Ochs's "Power and the Glory."
	👻 8:56pm Austin Rich: Yes, thanks so much, Chris! I'm excited to check out the previous installments of this production!
	8:56pm postconsumer: ↳ Austin Rich @8:53 It's perfect. I remember first hearing it in high school. I didn't even know the word ennui, yet. I hadn't identified it as melancholy, but that song got in, places I didn't know too well, as a teen, at the time.
	8:57pm Dan S: Thanks for the show, Jon and/or Chris!
	8:58pm postconsumer: ↳ Dan S @8:57 Thanks Dan! And Imaginos, Krys, Austin and egould!
	8:58pm Feldy: Hello all!
	8:59pm Dan S: ↳ postconsumer @8:58 OK, I thank the Rotations Collective!
	8:59pm postconsumer: The full seven hours is available at: awphooey.com/kbhr

	8:35pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Fanfare for the Common Man" by "Aaron Copland" From Wikipedia: Fanfare for the Common Man is a musical work by the American composer Aaron Copland. It was written in 1942 for the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra under conductor Eugene Goossens and was inspired in part by a speech made earlier that year by then American Vice President Henry A. Wallace, in which Wallace proclaimed the dawning of the "Century of the Common Man".
	8:35pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @8:33 You must conduct your conduct
	8:35pm postconsumer: ↳ Krys O. @8:33 I saw that on YouTube! Played a young man who could easily be mistaken for a young Chris Stevens, himself.
	👻 8:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Dan S @8:35 FINALLY! A century for the rest of us.
	8:36pm postconsumer: ↳ Austin Rich @8:33 You're full of beans today, mister.
	8:37pm postconsumer: Were you serious about not knowing what conducting yourself meant? probably not I just can't read rooms.
	8:37pm postconsumer: I grew up listening to that record around the house. That actual record. Dad was a big fan.
	👻 8:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @8:37 I saw this movie again not long ago, and it was like I was watching a movie written last week. It's basically still 100% relevant.
	8:38pm Dan S: ↳ Austin Rich @8:36 But maybe not this century, sadly.
	👻 8:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ Dan S @8:38 Zing.
	8:39pm postconsumer: ↳ Austin Rich @8:38 It's still a thousand percent relevant. Yes, very frustrating to see the small changes which have taken place in just, oh, half a century.
	👻 8:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @8:37 I didn't actually get confused by that word similarity, but I have noticed it recently, and have been working on a good joke for it.
	8:41pm postconsumer: ↳ Austin Rich @8:39 word similarity? I had a feeling I was missing something...
	👻 8:41pm Austin Rich: "Conduct" and "Conduct." (And, "Conduct" if we include electrical meanings.)
	8:42pm Krys O.: Conduct yourselves to the dinner table.
	8:43pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "Revolution" by "The Beatles" Does anyone go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao these days? Even in China?
	8:43pm egould: ↳ postconsumer @8:41 Thanks for the music. But alas, there are carnitas tacos and fizzy vodka cocktails awaiting.
	👻 8:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ egould @8:43 Yum.
	8:44pm postconsumer: ↳ egould @8:43 Thanks for listening! Full archive available now at: awphooey.com/kbhr
	👻 8:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ Dan S @8:43 I'm sure some hipster does for the joke when this song comes up... but probably not earnestly, anymore.
	8:45pm postconsumer: I know. I miss carnitas like nobody's business.
	8:46pm postconsumer: ↳ Krys O. @8:42 now I know how my son feels when I try to kid with puns. Sorry, Austin. I'm quick with a pun, myself, but apparently a little slow on the uptake...
	8:48pm Krys O.: ↳ postconsumer @8:46 One of my classmates in high school was relentless with his puns. He actually became a pundit on TV. Pun intended.
	👻 8:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @8:46 There's no punishment for missing a joke. Just punt on the next one and it'll all work out. We all (occasionally) punch above our weight.
	8:49pm Krys O.: Simple Gifts is a great tune.
	8:51pm Dan S: ↳ Krys O. @8:49 Yes, and Copland incorporated it so well into this piece.
	👻 8:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "America" by "Simon and Garfunkel" This song...
	8:52pm postconsumer: ↳ Austin Rich @8:52 yes?
	👻 8:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @8:52 It's pretty damn good.
	8:53pm postconsumer: ↳ Krys O. @8:49 always makes me feel SO. yes.
	8:53pm postconsumer: ↳ Austin Rich @8:53 😂
	8:55pm Krys O.: Thanks so much for such a great bunch of special programs, Jon!
	8:56pm Dan S: Some great songs played in this hour. I know there isn't time here for every song about America, but if I had one more to suggest, I'd go with Phil Ochs's "Power and the Glory."
	👻 8:56pm Austin Rich: Yes, thanks so much, Chris! I'm excited to check out the previous installments of this production!
	8:56pm postconsumer: ↳ Austin Rich @8:53 It's perfect. I remember first hearing it in high school. I didn't even know the word ennui, yet. I hadn't identified it as melancholy, but that song got in, places I didn't know too well, as a teen, at the time.
	8:57pm Dan S: Thanks for the show, Jon and/or Chris!
	8:58pm postconsumer: ↳ Dan S @8:57 Thanks Dan! And Imaginos, Krys, Austin and egould!
	8:58pm Feldy: Hello all!
	8:59pm Dan S: ↳ postconsumer @8:58 OK, I thank the Rotations Collective!
	8:59pm postconsumer: The full seven hours is available at: awphooey.com/kbhr
