	3:11pm Julie: hiya egould!
	3:11pm Julie: if you didn't roll up your sleeves you got cocaine on them
	♥ 3:12pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Julie @3:11 "Does all this cocaine make my tie look fat?"

	3:29pm love2laf: Here late, but showered, and bathroom cleaned. Happy to be here listening to Julie and the birds, and to sit with all you all.
	3:30pm Julie: heya PR1924 Hi L2L!
	♥ 3:30pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "What's A Girl To Do" by "Cristina" That's a Jean Paul Goude Sleeve art. He did a similar neck elongation to Grace Jones.
	♥ 3:31pm PaulRobeson1924: Heya Julie! Everybody! Mr.Clay sent me
	♥ 3:31pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi, Julie and day shift.
	3:32pm Julie: hiya Ken!
	3:46pm Tony Coulter: I'm adding stuff to my discogs wantlist as the show progresses -- just added that Masoch 12". Sounded fab!
	3:47pm Julie: ↳ Tony Coulter @3:46 I was only able to hear some of yours so I imagine I'll be doing the same thing when I hear your archive!
	3:50pm Julie: ↳ Tony Coulter @3:46 for $100 you can get their cassette :D
	3:51pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Julie @3:50 Ha! I may just have to.
	3:55pm Julie: ↳ Song: "Who Wears These Shoes?" by "Elton John" I love how the record says "recorded by Renate (his wife)" on it.
	4:00pm fantastic planet25: ↳ Julie @3:55 Was this a hit for Elton in 84?
	4:02pm Julie: ↳ fantastic planet25 @4:00 Maybe? It was a single anyway and there's a video
	4:05pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Song: "Fake" by "Animal Dance" This Animal dance 7" is great! Never heard of it. Sounds very U.K., but I see they were a U.S. band.
	4:06pm Julie: ↳ Tony Coulter @4:05 it's got that Bow wow wow/Adam & the ants quality
	♥ 4:07pm luka: hello dark 1s
	4:08pm Julie: hi luka!
	🦇 ♥ 4:12pm Asheville Jon: i thought the theme was drum machines and saxophones. hmm
	♥ 4:12pm Handy Haversack: Warm weather in late October: good for fall softball. Bad for future of human race and many other species.
	♥ 4:14pm Matt from Springfield: The "flip side" of typical 1984! HI Julie and Dark Ones!
	♥ 4:16pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:12 Not gnats though - I enjoyed getting back into the hiking spirit last weekend, but it was too warm for this season, AND was really annoying with gnats out everywhere. More jellyfish and gnats with warming climate? Uggh..
	♥ 4:18pm Handy Haversack: The mosquitoes out back are fewer but not gone, that's for sure.
	♥ 4:18pm CHUCK ROAST: Julie ! It has been a minute. Yes, I do live. I just celebrated my 73rd on the 4th. My fellow Libra in the avatar, Putt-Putt had her third on the 17th. So great to hear you again. Enjoying 1984 almost as much as I did the first time. Oh, to be 33 !
	4:20pm Julie: hi asheville jon! Hi Matt!
	4:21pm Julie: Hi Chuck Roast!
	🦇 ♥ 4:21pm Asheville Jon: hey julie
	♥ 4:23pm Bas NL: ↳ Song: "Smile In My Brain" by "The Twist" Yeah, on cassette!
	♥ 4:24pm Handy Haversack: ↳ CHUCK ROAST @4:18 Glad to see you again, CHUCK ROAST!
	♥ 4:25pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Smile In My Brain" by "The Twist" Indie psych rock mixtape? Taking a turn back to Indian sound - Sheila Chandra and Monsoon had said that Indian instruments had fallen out of favor by the early 80s, and took some time to bring back the trend.
	4:25pm Tony Coulter: Crawling with Tarts!! YAY!!
	4:27pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Tony Coulter @4:25 A friend issued this tape on LP last year.
	4:27pm Julie: ↳ Tony Coulter @4:27 ooh
	4:28pm Tony Coulter: Re-issued, I mean: www.discogs.com...
	4:29pm hunterfelt: Depressingly I am getting ready to work so I haven't been able to tune in. I thought I was an expert in 80's music, but wow this is a LOT of acts that are completely new to me, can't wait to dig in once I'm done Working In A Coalmine.
	♥ 4:29pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Gentle Wind" by "Crawling With Tarts" Sounds great.
	4:29pm Julie: hiya hunter felt! Don't breathe too deep at the mine
	♥ 4:30pm Bas NL: Love these cassette releases!
	♥ 4:31pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ hunterfelt @4:29 Best of luck going down, down, down! (Imagine the Devo version, it's more upbeat!)
	♥ 4:33pm egould: ↳ Song: "A Flower in the Desert" by "The Cult" Here we are. Nice one, Julie.
	♥ 4:34pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "A Flower in the Desert" by "The Cult" The Cult, just barely away from their days as "The Southern Death Cult".
	♥ 4:35pm egould: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:34 Shortly before their days as "British Guns n Roses".
	♥ 4:36pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ egould @4:35 Ha, I was unaware they had taken that niche in Britain!
	♥ 4:37pm Handy Haversack: Sweet Lou!
	♥ 4:37pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Fly Into the Sun" by "Lou Reed" As I recall, that joystick was on display at the exhibit at the Performing Arts Library a couple years back.
	♥ 4:40pm Handy Haversack: DCD alert!
	♥ 4:47pm Bas NL: This takes me back in time in a good way. ;)
	♥ 4:47pm Bas NL: Bird alert!
	4:48pm listener james from westwood: Utter treat so far!
	♥ 4:48pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Bas NL @4:47 Operatic birds today!
	♥ 4:49pm Dan S: Wow! At least one of the birdies is going to town! Hi, Julie. I'm just joining now.
	♥ 4:49pm egould: That bird is happy to be heard. Both birds really.
	♥ 4:51pm mndave: Delightful set for this '84 baby, Julie!
	4:52pm Julie: hi Dan! Hi mndave!
	4:53pm Julie: ↳ mndave @4:51 oh yay someone born in 84!
	♥ 5:00pm egould: 1984 I was in 9th Grade. My brother came home from college that summer armed with all of the good music. REM, dB's, Husker Du, Meat Puppets. Changed my life.
	♥ 5:04pm Handy Haversack: I was ten. A little early for me. But I was into the radio. Hadn't found the college stations yet.
	♥ 5:11pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Another Day" by "This Mortal Coil" Roy Harper's classic sad tale. Sung by Liz Fraser here, notably performed as a duet by Kate Bush & Peter Gabriel!
	5:11pm Julie: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:11 yep Kate & Peter was the first version I heard
	♥ 5:14pm Bas NL: ↳ Song: "Black Zone" by "The Legendary Pink Dots" t'LPD!
	♥ 5:14pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Julie @5:11 And as I've pointed out, it's interesting that there are 3 notable songs titled "Another Day" from the '70s: Roy Harper's composition, Paul McCartney's deceptively upbeat single, and The Rutles' take on "Martha My Dear", also titled "Another Day".
	5:16pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I first heard WMFU in my car radio, my friend dialed it in near a hay field in rural NW NJ. It was 1984.
	♥ 5:16pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Dancing With The Ghost" by "Classe X" I like this - and to my surprise, PRE-Starred! From this show just over 10 years ago!
	5:17pm Julie: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @5:16 that's wonderful! I would love to hear shows from then
	5:18pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: This show is a total time capsule!
	♥ 5:18pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @5:16 Hey Wild Neil! Were you usually in range of the transmitter back in those days, or did you have to arrange the antenna in tricky ways to get decent reception? I know those in Manhattan and Brooklyn had trouble receiving FMU with its lower wattage.
	5:20pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:18 It was a total SHIT SHOW trying to tune in. When I lived in my Grandmothers house in River Edge I could tune it in in certain rooms. Bergen county. But in WARREN COUNTY near NEWTON? GOOD LUCK!!! VERY SPOTTY. Thank God for the internet.
	♥ 5:22pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @5:20 And thank God for our dot-org! Since '97 I believe, freeing freeform from the confines of analog signals!
	5:22pm Julie: it really WAS hard to get in the city. we had an external antenna for the radio for years
	5:24pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I think King Crimson put out BEAT in 1984? NO but Three of a Perfect Pair came out in 1984!!
	5:25pm Julie: I'm not sure I've heard any 80s king crimson will have to check it out
	♥ 5:25pm Handy Haversack: Still pretty dicey in my part of Brooklyn. 91.1 has been coming in better than usual the past week or so in the front room, which is great. Can't get 91.9 inside here, though it usually comes in in the car.
	5:27pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: ↳ Julie @5:25 Julie you must run, not walk, and listen to Discipline, it is their BEST 80's album. It introduced me to King Crimson. There is nothing like it, yet it is VERY 80's. PROMISE YOURSELF to listen to it, there is a GAP in your King Crimson portfolio.
	♥ 5:27pm woj: ↳ Song: "The Face of Death" by "The Soft Boys" iirc, that delorean release was unauthorized. all the songs on it were recorded in '76-77, i think. or at least around then for the first soft boys album. can't remember now if these were outtakes or alternate takes though...
	5:28pm Julie: ohhh yes I DO Have that one..I forgot
	5:28pm pp: Jyl & Jul
	5:28pm Hubig Pie: I remember seeing King Crimson's Elephant Talk on the MTV back in the 80's I had just joined the Coast Guard in 1984 and I listened to whatever MTV told me to.
	♥ 5:29pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Hubig Pie @5:28 Matt Pinfield demanded serious attention
	5:29pm Julie: ↳ woj @5:27 it's for sale on discogs which usually means it's legit
	♥ 5:30pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Blue Waves" by "Modern English" I won this LP thanks to a radio show. It was in 84. A favorite.
	5:30pm pp: too close to Melt With You
	♥ 5:30pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Yvang @5:30 Yay! It paid to be the 84th caller for you!
	5:30pm Julie: hi sydniuß!
	5:31pm Julie: ↳ pp @5:30 it is very close. It's like they thought, let's do a song that sounds a lot like our hit
	♥ 5:32pm Dan S: I recall that in 1984 a movie version on the novel "1984" was released with a soundtrack by the Eurythmics. Anything from that soundtrack worth playing, Julie?
	♥ 5:32pm egould: ↳ Julie @5:31 Yeah. I was about to leave a snarky comment, and then I looked at the playlist and saw Modern English. I guess you can't really rip off your own sound, can you?
	5:32pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Blue Waves" by "Modern English" Hi, Julie. We were wondering why this sounded so familiar. Never picked up this album. Should’ve.
	5:33pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: From what I saw Discogs will SHOW bootlegs but not permit the SELLING of bootlegs. Oh sorry, I meant cough cough IMPORTS!*cough cough*
	♥ 5:33pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Birdmad Girl" by "The Cure" Picked this up on Record Store Day.
	5:33pm Julie: ↳ Andres @5:32 hi Andres! Yes not every song sounds like a remake of melt like you. I guess maybe that's why it clicked with me
	♥ 5:33pm Yvang: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:30 I had to send a postcard, the postcard had to be picked up. Did phones existed in 1984?
	5:34pm Julie: ↳ Dan S @5:32 I didn't look at soundtracks sorry. The movie is good though.
	♥ 5:34pm Dan S: ↳ Yvang @5:33 They most certainly did. I'm still using the same phone. :-)
	♥ 5:35pm egould: ↳ Yvang @5:33 They existed on TV, but most people couldn't afford one. If you needed to talk to someone across town, you just stood in the street and hollered in their general direction. It was exhausting.
	5:36pm Andres: ↳ Dan S @5:32 Sex Crime was the hit. Great poppy fun.
	♥ 5:36pm ∫ydniuß: we had a complex tin can system G, no GTE
	♥ 5:36pm Yvang: ↳ Dan S @5:32 Apparently they commissioned the soundtrack but did not use it. There is at least two good tracks on it.
	♥ 5:37pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Yvang @5:33 From what I've seen in media of the time?? I believe they had a sort of metal wind-up voice telegraphy machine that people used, and an 'operator' named 'Ernestine' who would listen in on you. But I don't know if that's considered a "phone", since you can't ask it to look stuff up, and have Zuck listen in to you...
	♥ 5:37pm Dan S: ↳ Andres @5:36 Catchy title.
	♥ 5:37pm Dan S: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:37 One ringy-dingy.
	♥ 5:38pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ ∫ydniuß @5:36 Of course, that must be what the 'dial' was for, to change strings for your tin can with the recipient's can.
	♥ 5:38pm Dan S: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:37 You can look stuff up on your phone? Do people know about this?
	♥ 5:39pm Yvang: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:37 Fascinating. My parents had a strange machine at home. I used it to call the Talking Clock.
	♥ 5:40pm woj: ↳ Julie @5:29 huh. don't think robyn or the band had anything to do with its release so maybe that is what i am thinking of. in any case, checked and it's the earliest single plus some out/alternate takes...
	♥ 5:41pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Yvang @5:39 I've heard of those - did theirs look like the Panasonic one on the top of this page? en.wikipedia.org...
	5:41pm Julie: ↳ woj @5:40 should've gone with Trains
	♥ 5:44pm Bas NL: Numan!
	♥ 5:44pm Yvang: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:41 Not at all but now I want one like this!
	♥ 5:45pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "The Hunter" by "Gary Numan" Hello ... NUMAN.
	♥ 5:45pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Bas NL @5:44 Noonan!
	5:47pm Hubig Pie: ↳ ∫ydniuß @5:45 Do you stand for goodness or badness, Danny?
	♥ 5:49pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Hangin' On You" by "Nena" NENA!! Gabrielle Kerner, a bright star in my personal '83/'84 hit collection.
	♥ 5:49pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Hubig Pie @5:47 Looks good on you, though
	♥ 5:53pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:49 am a fan of both kerners and kemers
	♥ 5:53pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Cicely" by "Cocteau Twins" And of course a proper cuppa CTs for '84! The multi-layered sound of the Treasure album.
	♥ 5:54pm egould: ↳ ∫ydniuß @5:49 Hahaha! One of my favorite movies.
	5:55pm Midge: Hi Julie and all! I’ve been quietly listening but will def have to blast the archive
	♥ 5:55pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ ∫ydniuß @5:53 How about kernels and kemels?
	♥ 5:56pm egould: You know, Culture Club is not my favorite 80's band. But, they are waaaayyyy better than alot of crap from the mid-80's.
	♥ 5:57pm Handy Haversack: ↳ egould @5:56 And their records seem easy to find.
	♥ 5:57pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:55 mind blown what about them 🤯
	♥ 6:00pm egould: I've submitted my report, and I'm done for the next couple of days. Think it's time for a vodka. Heading down San Bernardino way tomorrow.
	♥ 6:01pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ egould @6:00 skoal!
	♥ 6:01pm Handy Haversack: ↳ egould @6:00 Cheers, egould! Holding off till after my softball game, which I'll be leaving for in about ten minutes. Julie said we're cool!
	♥ 6:01pm egould: ↳ Handy Haversack @6:01 Have fun at softball. Spikes up!
	♥ 6:02pm Yvang: Love the Bat!
	♥ 6:02pm Matt from Springfield: Nena interview on Dark Night, Oct 26 2016!: wfmu.org...
	6:03pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "C R E E P" by "The Fall" This was on a Mary Wing CD premium years ago.
	♥ 6:04pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ ∫ydniuß @5:57 'Kernels' are grains of corn, and 'Kemels'? I think that's like a Turkish "attaboy!" - except there they call it "Atatürk!"
	6:04pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "C R E E P" by "The Fall" Mark E. is almost singing here and not just shouting.
	6:05pm Julie: isn't kernel a computer thing also?
	6:05pm Andres: ↳ Song: "C R E E P" by "The Fall" Did not grok this as The Fall. Crazy.
	♥ 6:06pm Yvang: ↳ Andres @6:05 There's the Brix E Smith touch there.
	6:07pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @6:03 There's a bizarre spoken intro that goes something like "they call you Hitler and kick you around like homogenized milk"
	6:08pm Julie: ↳ Roberto @6:07 yep that's what they said
	♥ 6:08pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Julie @6:05 Yes, the core of an OS, apparently in the sense of its "nucleus".
	6:09pm Roberto: ↳ Julie @6:08 Words of wisdom!
	♥ 6:09pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "The More You Live, The More You Love" by "A Flock... Nice, FoS catalogue track!
	♥ 6:11pm Handy Haversack: OK, gotta get going for reals. Thanks, Julie! Later on, Dark Ones!
	6:12pm Julie: see ya Handy!
	6:13pm northguineahills: **** oh hai!
	♥ 6:13pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ northguineahills @6:13 HAI! NGH!
	6:14pm Julie: hiya NGH!
	6:15pm northguineahills: ↳ Matt from Springfield @6:13 yoserinos!
	6:16pm northguineahills: i was just having a 3rd grade moment, can't believe i missed tony and the rest of julie's show!
	6:16pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "London Bridges" by "Brigandage" new to me, and digdug!
	♥ 6:19pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Grains of Sand" by "Clay Allison (Opal)" Oooh! This is nice, '60s psych feel! Side project of Opal?
	6:20pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Grains of Sand" by "Clay Allison (Opal)" (slso new to me)
	6:22pm Julie: ↳ Matt from Springfield @6:19 before they were Opal they were Clay Allison
	6:23pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "Grains of Sand" by "Clay Allison (Opal)" This is nice. It kinda reminds me of Indian Summer by The Doors, which is about the only Doors song I like.
	6:25pm Julie: hiya Hubig!
	6:25pm Andres: ↳ Song: "The Living" by "17 Pygmies" This is a beaut.
	♥ 6:26pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "The Living" by "17 Pygmies" 17 of them? Touring must have been difficult. :)
	🦇 ♥ 6:26pm Mxter Baba: Greetings, Ghoulie! And mwah ha haaaa, Dark Nighters!!!!!
	6:27pm Julie: hi Mxter Baba!
	♥ 6:27pm common: hey!
	6:27pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Dan S @6:26 They were pygmies, tho.
	♥ 6:28pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "My Kinda Guy" by "Hey! Elastica" Fun beat and vocals! Hi Mxter Baba, common and in-coming Bats!
	6:28pm Julie: Hi common!
	6:28pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "My Kinda Guy" by "Hey! Elastica" not to be confused w/......
	6:28pm BuckyKatt: Hello, Julie and fellow time-travelers. Been enjoying this return to 1984! Especially since I haven't heard (or even heard of) most of the artists here. Which is why I listen, of course. Rock on, all
	6:29pm Julie: hi BuckyKatt!
	6:29pm HesperusWrecked: ↳ Song: "Grains of Sand" by "Clay Allison (Opal)" Have been meaning to pledge and the Clay Allison was the push I needed.
	6:30pm Julie: ↳ HesperusWrecked @6:29 hi HesperusWrecked, yay!
	♥ 6:30pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ BuckyKatt @6:28 I'm loving this flashback too! And the "new" old groups, to me. The "alternative-er" side of alternative.
	6:34pm BuckyKatt: ↳ Matt from Springfield @6:30 Yeah, the songs & groups aren't familiar, but the hairstyles in the band photos are! As one TV network used to say when it aired reruns, "If you haven't seen it, it's new to you!"
	6:35pm Andres: ↳ northguineahills @6:28 Hey! We were here first. Sort of.
	6:38pm BuckyKatt: ↳ Julie @6:29 Julie, I met a new petsitting client last week with a parrot. A pretty well-behaved bird, except it ate the printout of care instructions the client gave me. They do love nibbling!
	6:39pm northguineahills: ↳ Andres @6:35 I see what you did there!
	6:40pm Julie: ↳ BuckyKatt @6:38 indeed they do!
	♥ 6:47pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Happy Now" by "AWOL" Moby's early project! Did you ever hear them perform this live?
	6:48pm Julie: ↳ Matt from Springfield @6:47 yes!
	6:48pm Julie: Moby (yes he was Moby back then) lived one town over from me. I saw AWOL at an all-day punk fest
	♥ 6:50pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Julie @6:48 Sweet! Fascinating early period for his material!
	♥ 6:51pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Alle Meine Entelein" by "Claudine Chirac" Couldn't tell what the meaning was, but Claudine sang about "all my ducklings"!
	6:51pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Harborcoat" by "R.E.M." REM!!!
	6:53pm northguineahills: ↳ Julie @6:48 i've only saw him once when he came to the club I was djing at (i was avant garde/electronica noise). it was his bday and he and his friends played cards. he was nice and cordial. this would have been 2005.
	♥ 6:55pm common: all good stuff!

	♥ 4:16pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Handy Haversack @4:12 Not gnats though - I enjoyed getting back into the hiking spirit last weekend, but it was too warm for this season, AND was really annoying with gnats out everywhere. More jellyfish and gnats with warming climate? Uggh..
	♥ 4:18pm Handy Haversack: The mosquitoes out back are fewer but not gone, that's for sure.
	♥ 4:18pm CHUCK ROAST: Julie ! It has been a minute. Yes, I do live. I just celebrated my 73rd on the 4th. My fellow Libra in the avatar, Putt-Putt had her third on the 17th. So great to hear you again. Enjoying 1984 almost as much as I did the first time. Oh, to be 33 !

	♥ 4:25pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Smile In My Brain" by "The Twist" Indie psych rock mixtape? Taking a turn back to Indian sound - Sheila Chandra and Monsoon had said that Indian instruments had fallen out of favor by the early 80s, and took some time to bring back the trend.
	4:25pm Tony Coulter: Crawling with Tarts!! YAY!!
	4:27pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Tony Coulter @4:25 A friend issued this tape on LP last year.
	4:27pm Julie: ↳ Tony Coulter @4:27 ooh
	4:28pm Tony Coulter: Re-issued, I mean: www.discogs.com...
	4:29pm hunterfelt: Depressingly I am getting ready to work so I haven't been able to tune in. I thought I was an expert in 80's music, but wow this is a LOT of acts that are completely new to me, can't wait to dig in once I'm done Working In A Coalmine.
	♥ 4:29pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Gentle Wind" by "Crawling With Tarts" Sounds great.
	4:29pm Julie: hiya hunter felt! Don't breathe too deep at the mine
	♥ 4:30pm Bas NL: Love these cassette releases!
	♥ 4:31pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ hunterfelt @4:29 Best of luck going down, down, down! (Imagine the Devo version, it's more upbeat!)
	♥ 4:33pm egould: ↳ Song: "A Flower in the Desert" by "The Cult" Here we are. Nice one, Julie.
	♥ 4:34pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "A Flower in the Desert" by "The Cult" The Cult, just barely away from their days as "The Southern Death Cult".
	♥ 4:35pm egould: ↳ Matt from Springfield @4:34 Shortly before their days as "British Guns n Roses".
	♥ 4:36pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ egould @4:35 Ha, I was unaware they had taken that niche in Britain!
	♥ 4:37pm Handy Haversack: Sweet Lou!
	♥ 4:37pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Fly Into the Sun" by "Lou Reed" As I recall, that joystick was on display at the exhibit at the Performing Arts Library a couple years back.
	♥ 4:40pm Handy Haversack: DCD alert!
	♥ 4:47pm Bas NL: This takes me back in time in a good way. ;)
	♥ 4:47pm Bas NL: Bird alert!
	4:48pm listener james from westwood: Utter treat so far!
	♥ 4:48pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Bas NL @4:47 Operatic birds today!
	♥ 4:49pm Dan S: Wow! At least one of the birdies is going to town! Hi, Julie. I'm just joining now.
	♥ 4:49pm egould: That bird is happy to be heard. Both birds really.
	♥ 4:51pm mndave: Delightful set for this '84 baby, Julie!
	4:52pm Julie: hi Dan! Hi mndave!
	4:53pm Julie: ↳ mndave @4:51 oh yay someone born in 84!
	♥ 5:00pm egould: 1984 I was in 9th Grade. My brother came home from college that summer armed with all of the good music. REM, dB's, Husker Du, Meat Puppets. Changed my life.
	♥ 5:04pm Handy Haversack: I was ten. A little early for me. But I was into the radio. Hadn't found the college stations yet.
	♥ 5:11pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Another Day" by "This Mortal Coil" Roy Harper's classic sad tale. Sung by Liz Fraser here, notably performed as a duet by Kate Bush & Peter Gabriel!
	5:11pm Julie: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:11 yep Kate & Peter was the first version I heard
	♥ 5:14pm Bas NL: ↳ Song: "Black Zone" by "The Legendary Pink Dots" t'LPD!
	♥ 5:14pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Julie @5:11 And as I've pointed out, it's interesting that there are 3 notable songs titled "Another Day" from the '70s: Roy Harper's composition, Paul McCartney's deceptively upbeat single, and The Rutles' take on "Martha My Dear", also titled "Another Day".
	5:16pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I first heard WMFU in my car radio, my friend dialed it in near a hay field in rural NW NJ. It was 1984.
	♥ 5:16pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Dancing With The Ghost" by "Classe X" I like this - and to my surprise, PRE-Starred! From this show just over 10 years ago!
	5:17pm Julie: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @5:16 that's wonderful! I would love to hear shows from then
	5:18pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: This show is a total time capsule!
	♥ 5:18pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @5:16 Hey Wild Neil! Were you usually in range of the transmitter back in those days, or did you have to arrange the antenna in tricky ways to get decent reception? I know those in Manhattan and Brooklyn had trouble receiving FMU with its lower wattage.
	5:20pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:18 It was a total SHIT SHOW trying to tune in. When I lived in my Grandmothers house in River Edge I could tune it in in certain rooms. Bergen county. But in WARREN COUNTY near NEWTON? GOOD LUCK!!! VERY SPOTTY. Thank God for the internet.
	♥ 5:22pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Wild Neil\|\|Peace All @5:20 And thank God for our dot-org! Since '97 I believe, freeing freeform from the confines of analog signals!
	5:22pm Julie: it really WAS hard to get in the city. we had an external antenna for the radio for years
	5:24pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: I think King Crimson put out BEAT in 1984? NO but Three of a Perfect Pair came out in 1984!!
	5:25pm Julie: I'm not sure I've heard any 80s king crimson will have to check it out
	♥ 5:25pm Handy Haversack: Still pretty dicey in my part of Brooklyn. 91.1 has been coming in better than usual the past week or so in the front room, which is great. Can't get 91.9 inside here, though it usually comes in in the car.
	5:27pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: ↳ Julie @5:25 Julie you must run, not walk, and listen to Discipline, it is their BEST 80's album. It introduced me to King Crimson. There is nothing like it, yet it is VERY 80's. PROMISE YOURSELF to listen to it, there is a GAP in your King Crimson portfolio.
	♥ 5:27pm woj: ↳ Song: "The Face of Death" by "The Soft Boys" iirc, that delorean release was unauthorized. all the songs on it were recorded in '76-77, i think. or at least around then for the first soft boys album. can't remember now if these were outtakes or alternate takes though...
	5:28pm Julie: ohhh yes I DO Have that one..I forgot
	5:28pm pp: Jyl & Jul
	5:28pm Hubig Pie: I remember seeing King Crimson's Elephant Talk on the MTV back in the 80's I had just joined the Coast Guard in 1984 and I listened to whatever MTV told me to.
	♥ 5:29pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Hubig Pie @5:28 Matt Pinfield demanded serious attention
	5:29pm Julie: ↳ woj @5:27 it's for sale on discogs which usually means it's legit
	♥ 5:30pm Yvang: ↳ Song: "Blue Waves" by "Modern English" I won this LP thanks to a radio show. It was in 84. A favorite.
	5:30pm pp: too close to Melt With You
	♥ 5:30pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Yvang @5:30 Yay! It paid to be the 84th caller for you!
	5:30pm Julie: hi sydniuß!
	5:31pm Julie: ↳ pp @5:30 it is very close. It's like they thought, let's do a song that sounds a lot like our hit
	♥ 5:32pm Dan S: I recall that in 1984 a movie version on the novel "1984" was released with a soundtrack by the Eurythmics. Anything from that soundtrack worth playing, Julie?
	♥ 5:32pm egould: ↳ Julie @5:31 Yeah. I was about to leave a snarky comment, and then I looked at the playlist and saw Modern English. I guess you can't really rip off your own sound, can you?
	5:32pm Andres: ↳ Song: "Blue Waves" by "Modern English" Hi, Julie. We were wondering why this sounded so familiar. Never picked up this album. Should’ve.
	5:33pm Wild Neil\|\|Peace All: From what I saw Discogs will SHOW bootlegs but not permit the SELLING of bootlegs. Oh sorry, I meant cough cough IMPORTS!*cough cough*
	♥ 5:33pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Birdmad Girl" by "The Cure" Picked this up on Record Store Day.
	5:33pm Julie: ↳ Andres @5:32 hi Andres! Yes not every song sounds like a remake of melt like you. I guess maybe that's why it clicked with me
	♥ 5:33pm Yvang: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:30 I had to send a postcard, the postcard had to be picked up. Did phones existed in 1984?
	5:34pm Julie: ↳ Dan S @5:32 I didn't look at soundtracks sorry. The movie is good though.
	♥ 5:34pm Dan S: ↳ Yvang @5:33 They most certainly did. I'm still using the same phone. :-)
	♥ 5:35pm egould: ↳ Yvang @5:33 They existed on TV, but most people couldn't afford one. If you needed to talk to someone across town, you just stood in the street and hollered in their general direction. It was exhausting.
	5:36pm Andres: ↳ Dan S @5:32 Sex Crime was the hit. Great poppy fun.
	♥ 5:36pm ∫ydniuß: we had a complex tin can system G, no GTE
	♥ 5:36pm Yvang: ↳ Dan S @5:32 Apparently they commissioned the soundtrack but did not use it. There is at least two good tracks on it.
	♥ 5:37pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Yvang @5:33 From what I've seen in media of the time?? I believe they had a sort of metal wind-up voice telegraphy machine that people used, and an 'operator' named 'Ernestine' who would listen in on you. But I don't know if that's considered a "phone", since you can't ask it to look stuff up, and have Zuck listen in to you...
	♥ 5:37pm Dan S: ↳ Andres @5:36 Catchy title.
	♥ 5:37pm Dan S: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:37 One ringy-dingy.
	♥ 5:38pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ ∫ydniuß @5:36 Of course, that must be what the 'dial' was for, to change strings for your tin can with the recipient's can.
	♥ 5:38pm Dan S: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:37 You can look stuff up on your phone? Do people know about this?
	♥ 5:39pm Yvang: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:37 Fascinating. My parents had a strange machine at home. I used it to call the Talking Clock.
	♥ 5:40pm woj: ↳ Julie @5:29 huh. don't think robyn or the band had anything to do with its release so maybe that is what i am thinking of. in any case, checked and it's the earliest single plus some out/alternate takes...
	♥ 5:41pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Yvang @5:39 I've heard of those - did theirs look like the Panasonic one on the top of this page? en.wikipedia.org...
	5:41pm Julie: ↳ woj @5:40 should've gone with Trains
	♥ 5:44pm Bas NL: Numan!
	♥ 5:44pm Yvang: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:41 Not at all but now I want one like this!
	♥ 5:45pm Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "The Hunter" by "Gary Numan" Hello ... NUMAN.
	♥ 5:45pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Bas NL @5:44 Noonan!
	5:47pm Hubig Pie: ↳ ∫ydniuß @5:45 Do you stand for goodness or badness, Danny?
	♥ 5:49pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Hangin' On You" by "Nena" NENA!! Gabrielle Kerner, a bright star in my personal '83/'84 hit collection.
	♥ 5:49pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Hubig Pie @5:47 Looks good on you, though
	♥ 5:53pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:49 am a fan of both kerners and kemers
	♥ 5:53pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Cicely" by "Cocteau Twins" And of course a proper cuppa CTs for '84! The multi-layered sound of the Treasure album.
	♥ 5:54pm egould: ↳ ∫ydniuß @5:49 Hahaha! One of my favorite movies.
	5:55pm Midge: Hi Julie and all! I’ve been quietly listening but will def have to blast the archive
	♥ 5:55pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ ∫ydniuß @5:53 How about kernels and kemels?
	♥ 5:56pm egould: You know, Culture Club is not my favorite 80's band. But, they are waaaayyyy better than alot of crap from the mid-80's.
	♥ 5:57pm Handy Haversack: ↳ egould @5:56 And their records seem easy to find.
	♥ 5:57pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ Matt from Springfield @5:55 mind blown what about them 🤯
	♥ 6:00pm egould: I've submitted my report, and I'm done for the next couple of days. Think it's time for a vodka. Heading down San Bernardino way tomorrow.
	♥ 6:01pm ∫ydniuß: ↳ egould @6:00 skoal!
	♥ 6:01pm Handy Haversack: ↳ egould @6:00 Cheers, egould! Holding off till after my softball game, which I'll be leaving for in about ten minutes. Julie said we're cool!
	♥ 6:01pm egould: ↳ Handy Haversack @6:01 Have fun at softball. Spikes up!
	♥ 6:02pm Yvang: Love the Bat!
	♥ 6:02pm Matt from Springfield: Nena interview on Dark Night, Oct 26 2016!: wfmu.org...
	6:03pm Roberto: ↳ Song: "C R E E P" by "The Fall" This was on a Mary Wing CD premium years ago.
	♥ 6:04pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ ∫ydniuß @5:57 'Kernels' are grains of corn, and 'Kemels'? I think that's like a Turkish "attaboy!" - except there they call it "Atatürk!"
	6:04pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "C R E E P" by "The Fall" Mark E. is almost singing here and not just shouting.
	6:05pm Julie: isn't kernel a computer thing also?
	6:05pm Andres: ↳ Song: "C R E E P" by "The Fall" Did not grok this as The Fall. Crazy.
	♥ 6:06pm Yvang: ↳ Andres @6:05 There's the Brix E Smith touch there.
	6:07pm Roberto: ↳ Roberto @6:03 There's a bizarre spoken intro that goes something like "they call you Hitler and kick you around like homogenized milk"
	6:08pm Julie: ↳ Roberto @6:07 yep that's what they said
	♥ 6:08pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Julie @6:05 Yes, the core of an OS, apparently in the sense of its "nucleus".
	6:09pm Roberto: ↳ Julie @6:08 Words of wisdom!
	♥ 6:09pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "The More You Live, The More You Love" by "A Flock... Nice, FoS catalogue track!
	♥ 6:11pm Handy Haversack: OK, gotta get going for reals. Thanks, Julie! Later on, Dark Ones!
	6:12pm Julie: see ya Handy!
	6:13pm northguineahills: **** oh hai!

	6:16pm northguineahills: i was just having a 3rd grade moment, can't believe i missed tony and the rest of julie's show!
	6:16pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "London Bridges" by "Brigandage" new to me, and digdug!
	♥ 6:19pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Grains of Sand" by "Clay Allison (Opal)" Oooh! This is nice, '60s psych feel! Side project of Opal?
	6:20pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Grains of Sand" by "Clay Allison (Opal)" (slso new to me)
	6:22pm Julie: ↳ Matt from Springfield @6:19 before they were Opal they were Clay Allison
	6:23pm Hubig Pie: ↳ Song: "Grains of Sand" by "Clay Allison (Opal)" This is nice. It kinda reminds me of Indian Summer by The Doors, which is about the only Doors song I like.
	6:25pm Julie: hiya Hubig!
	6:25pm Andres: ↳ Song: "The Living" by "17 Pygmies" This is a beaut.
	♥ 6:26pm Dan S: ↳ Song: "The Living" by "17 Pygmies" 17 of them? Touring must have been difficult. :)
	🦇 ♥ 6:26pm Mxter Baba: Greetings, Ghoulie! And mwah ha haaaa, Dark Nighters!!!!!

	6:28pm Julie: Hi common!
	6:28pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "My Kinda Guy" by "Hey! Elastica" not to be confused w/......
	6:28pm BuckyKatt: Hello, Julie and fellow time-travelers. Been enjoying this return to 1984! Especially since I haven't heard (or even heard of) most of the artists here. Which is why I listen, of course. Rock on, all
	6:29pm Julie: hi BuckyKatt!
	6:29pm HesperusWrecked: ↳ Song: "Grains of Sand" by "Clay Allison (Opal)" Have been meaning to pledge and the Clay Allison was the push I needed.
	6:30pm Julie: ↳ HesperusWrecked @6:29 hi HesperusWrecked, yay!
	♥ 6:30pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ BuckyKatt @6:28 I'm loving this flashback too! And the "new" old groups, to me. The "alternative-er" side of alternative.
	6:34pm BuckyKatt: ↳ Matt from Springfield @6:30 Yeah, the songs & groups aren't familiar, but the hairstyles in the band photos are! As one TV network used to say when it aired reruns, "If you haven't seen it, it's new to you!"
	6:35pm Andres: ↳ northguineahills @6:28 Hey! We were here first. Sort of.
	6:38pm BuckyKatt: ↳ Julie @6:29 Julie, I met a new petsitting client last week with a parrot. A pretty well-behaved bird, except it ate the printout of care instructions the client gave me. They do love nibbling!
	6:39pm northguineahills: ↳ Andres @6:35 I see what you did there!
	6:40pm Julie: ↳ BuckyKatt @6:38 indeed they do!
	♥ 6:47pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Happy Now" by "AWOL" Moby's early project! Did you ever hear them perform this live?
	6:48pm Julie: ↳ Matt from Springfield @6:47 yes!
	6:48pm Julie: Moby (yes he was Moby back then) lived one town over from me. I saw AWOL at an all-day punk fest
	♥ 6:50pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Julie @6:48 Sweet! Fascinating early period for his material!
	♥ 6:51pm Matt from Springfield: ↳ Song: "Alle Meine Entelein" by "Claudine Chirac" Couldn't tell what the meaning was, but Claudine sang about "all my ducklings"!
	6:51pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Harborcoat" by "R.E.M." REM!!!
	6:53pm northguineahills: ↳ Julie @6:48 i've only saw him once when he came to the club I was djing at (i was avant garde/electronica noise). it was his bday and he and his friends played cards. he was nice and cordial. this would have been 2005.
