	9:04pm Rich in Washington: WR! Don-O!
	9:05pm Don-O: Everything is broken.....in more ways than we can admit to.
	9:05pm pot8o: spent all day wandering around southwest iowa buying records because i have some leftover christmas cash that's burning a hole in my pocket started off the haul by ordering some tull, judy collins, live/dead, roland shannon jackson, and pierre henry's collab with spooky tooth off of discogs then i bought some association, nat adderley, and trane at one thrift shop and some earl klugh, a private press piano trio, and james gang's live album at another
	9:06pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Don-O @9:05 Indeed
	9:06pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @9:05 leftover cash is the best kind of cash
	9:06pm pot8o: currently using this as background music to alphabetize my record shelf
	9:06pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @9:05 live/dead the Miles' record?
	9:07pm Uncle Michael: It don't get no Wurster than Superchunk.

	9:07pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Uncle Michael @9:07 Hi UM! I dug your drinky show this AM!
	9:08pm Uncle Michael: hic

	9:09pm Uncle Michael: My dopamine receptors thank you both!
	9:10pm Rich in Washington: I listened while tidying up the house preparing for company for Ecchhsmass' last putsch.
	🥁 9:12pm Kat in the chat: At my current job I mostly feel like killing the sales reps
	9:12pm Don-O: I got a couple of gift cards but ebay ain't taking them.....damnit!
	9:13pm Rich in Washington: I got a lovely hanging pothos from me mum.
	🥁 9:16pm Kat in the chat: I like pothos a lot! I have four or five kinds of pothos right now,because the plant store that used to be up the street had a very generous going-out-of-business sale. After that, the space became a Harris/Walz campaign office. Now it's for rent again. Sigh
	9:17pm v-dawg: Hello, Rich. Thank you for the linguistic puzzle.
	9:18pm Rich in Washington: ↳ v-dawg @9:17 Hello. YOu are welcome!
	9:20pm Don-O: I'm itching for banana/peanut butter sandwich for dinner......I already abused my potato rations over X-mas day.....complete with KFC chicken. Take my heart out with a forklift!
	9:21pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Don-O @9:20 Mmmm! That sounds good!
	9:22pm Rich in Washington: I'm eating terribly this season plus I've been abusing caffeine horribly
	🥁 9:22pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Don-O @9:20 You are singing my song. I love banana/peanut butter sammiches, especially on challah bread. And KFC is what I crave when a migraine is coming on. Mmm... fried chicken...
	9:23pm v-dawg: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:18 My question to you on the text is the 'why'. Did someone from Chuvashia create this mechanical duck?
	9:23pm Rich in Washington: ↳ v-dawg @9:23 for science
	🥁 9:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:22 SAME. I had too many cups of black tea today to help me drive home. And I've been eating delicious foods, but not enough vegetables. My tummy is glad I'm home.
	9:25pm Don-O: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:22 I'm pushing my luck as well, I had a Rockstar Punched Energy Drink: Fruit Punch just before my show. I helped, but I know I'll pay for it later.
	9:25pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:23 I've gotten a stovetop mocha/latte making apparatus and I've been ODing on coffee for days.
	🥁 9:25pm Kat in the chat: I've been a bit indulgent and careless myself, bought some helthy fudz last night though and am getting back on track.
	🥁 9:25pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:23 SCIENCE! (You must read this in a Thomas Dolby voice)
	🥁 9:26pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:25 That thing looks cool! I didn't know there was a stovetop apparatus for that.
	9:26pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Don-O @9:25 I usually make a double espresso before my show but I just now finished a double shot mocha. I'm gonna be up til 4am.
	9:26pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:26 Oh yeah, me neither until I found it!
	9:28pm Don-O: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:26 I should say lucky you, but the boredom of this corner of AZ usually knocks me out.
	🥁 9:28pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:25 Holy cow. When you come down it'll be interesting. haha That is way too much caffeine for Wendo. I'm delicate! I drink a coffee/espresso drink about 6x/year.
	9:29pm Don-O: I fact, Buddy is talking me into doing a FB Live deal from the front porch of my house to video the fire works going off up and down the street. Tis be a challenge....
	🥁 9:29pm Wendy del Formaggio: I gotta go upstairs and make my bed and do a little unpacking. I'm going into Lurking Mode for a spell.
	🥁 9:30pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Don-O @9:29 I might have to tune into that. I'll most likely be home!
	🥁 9:30pm Kat in the chat: See ya, Wendo!
	🥁 9:36pm Kat in the chat: I listened to a Christmas archive of Darryl's on Christmas. So sad he's gone.
	9:37pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:36 He just shared an Xmas record on his blog a few days before he passed away. I had assumed he stopped blogging because of his writing and publishing. Nope.
	9:38pm pot8o: yeah, it's a massive shame i tuned into his show off and on last year, we didn't talk very much but he was always a nice fellow
	🥁 9:38pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:37 I wonder if someone will keep the blog up. I didn't go there as often as I would have liked to.
	🥁 9:41pm Kat in the chat: Ugh, Father Francis!
	🥁 9:41pm WR: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:38 I imagine that Niall, his husband will keep the blog up. I was just reading some of the none music entries, including an article Darryl wrote when he and Niall became husband and husband under the new laws in 2014.
	9:42pm A2B: Hi, Rich! Hi-Ho, Don-O! Hello Broken Radio Rebels! Rich, the last two discs in that last set are in my vintage CD collection! (And the third to last one should be!)
	🥁 9:43pm Kat in the chat: OMG I think this is actually worse than The Big A/The Big M
	9:45pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:43 I sent Darryl a copy of that and he featured it on his show! Careful or I'll go get it!
	🥁 9:45pm Kat in the chat: Life begins at conception vs. Life Begins at the Hop
	🥁 9:45pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:45 Get what? I didn't say nuthin'!
	9:46pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Life Begins at the Hop" by "XTC" I dunno if Andy Partridge is online in any way, but I wonder if he'd mention Darryl's passing. They were pretty chummy.
	🥁 9:46pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:45 I always forget you were the guilty party there
	9:47pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:46 I'll do you one better. Coming up. Something truly wretched.
	🥁 9:48pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Just A Fan" by "Leebonny" Eek
	9:48pm Laura Panic: Gonna listen more as I walk the beach promenade on this lovely summer's day
	🥁 9:48pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Just A Fan" by "Leebonny" OOOH this was yours too? I heard this a couple of times on Darryl's show!
	9:49pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:48 Yes. The late Mrs. Robert Blake.
	9:49pm A2B: Darryl confessed in one article on his blog that he was an atheist. I guess he's now finding out for himself if there really is a Supreme Being watching over Creation somewhere in the Great Beyond.
	9:50pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Laura Panic @9:48 Nice! I'll try not to make it too awful but I'm paying tribute to my fallen friend who was a purveyor of truly awful music.
	9:50pm Rich in Washington: ↳ A2B @9:49 Probably not
	🥁 9:51pm Wendy del Formaggio: OMG LITTLE MARKIE! I knew it from the first few notes, which doesn't say anything good about me.
	9:51pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Diary of an Unborn Child" by "Mark Fox Feat. Litt... Ah, shit! THAT voice....THAT song....and all that guilt and drama....
	9:51pm Rich in Washington: Anybody wanna hear The Big A? Shall I?
	🥁 9:51pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:50 "I'll try not to make it too awful" and then you play the other awful abortion record
	🥁 9:52pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:51 I have no idea what this means, so my answer is HELL YES.
	9:52pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Diary of an Unborn Child" by "Mark Fox Feat. Litt... April Winchell was the first show I heard this....
	9:52pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:51 How many abortion records do you think I own?
	🥁 9:53pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @9:52 No you don't....
	9:53pm A2B: ↳ Song: "Diary of an Unborn Child" by "Mark Fox Feat. Litt... If Howie Mandel ever finds out about this, he'll be keeping his personal lawyer(s) busy.
	🥁 9:53pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:52 All of them?
	9:53pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Diary of an Unborn Child" by "Mark Fox Feat. Litt... THUD! Happyyyyyyy?
	🥁 9:53pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:52 This is the best sentence I've read today.
	9:53pm asheville jon: Well, this is a cheery tale!
	🥁 9:54pm Wendy del Formaggio: Everyone sing along! "Why did you kill me, Mommy?"
	9:54pm pot8o: reminds me of this absolutely asinine spoken word record i have www.discogs.com...
	9:54pm Laura Panic: It's what we sign up for.
	9:55pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @9:54 I think I have that one. I have a whole section for that. I have a whole section for A-Hole records
	9:55pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Diary of an Unborn Child" by "Mark Fox Feat. Litt... but once it's crowning, watch as these people run out of the room
	🥁 9:57pm Kat in the chat: I forgot this was on Music for Assholes
	9:58pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:55 i wanna do some negativland-esque shit with it if i can resist the urge to do some christian marclay-esque shit with it after hearing more than 5 seconds
	9:58pm Don-O: I remember Music For Assholes!
	9:58pm Don-O: I'm disappointed that god doesn't yell "YOU ASSHOLES!!"
	10:01pm A2B: ↳ Song: "Life Begins at the Hop" by "XTC" I'm sure I've mentioned before who I had to thank for regenerating my interest in XTC, another belated WFMU alum, Francis Xavier O'Toole (RIP).
	10:04pm Don-O: Was that Kevin Purjerer from Defuctkand just for a few seconds?!
	10:05pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @9:58 I have so many of those A: preaching the end of the world and B: what will happen when the godless communists take over records that they need their own section dividers.
	10:05pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Don-O @10:04 Sharp ears, Don-O!
	10:06pm Don-O: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:05 I watch too much YouTube.....
	10:06pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Don-O @10:06 Me too.
	10:07pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:05 www.discogs.com...
	10:07pm Rich in Washington: A2B heard some of this on my KBOO show last night, huh?
	🥁 10:07pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:05 I used to have a few. I think the only one I still have is the Jack Van Impe one that everybody sampled/samples, including you
	10:07pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:07 It took me SO LONG and so many painful needle drops to FINALLY find that record! It's really the only Van Impe record worth owning, too.
	10:08pm pot8o: i also have another one about heaven that's warped to shit too
	🥁 10:08pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Permafrost" by "Daniel Menche" Oh good lord, this is AN HOUR? ...I'll probably buy it anyway. Into the wishlist.
	10:09pm Rich in Washington: It also took me forever to finally find the Swaggart record with the 'it's the MUSIC' sample. So painful.
	🥁 10:09pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:07 I got it at a Salvation Army in the 80s!
	10:09pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:08 yeah, I'm not gonna play it all.
	10:09pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:09 Salvation Army, despite them being hateful homophobes, wwas the best place for records, actually.
	🥁 10:10pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:09 this is so Extremely My Shit though. It would be nice for going to sleep to.
	10:10pm pot8o: i also have a field recording i made of some shortwave nutter screaming about the end of the world somewhere i think i might've lost the entire thing but i have a version on my computer where i ran it through a bunch of reverb and delay
	10:10pm Rich in Washington: I once found a shit-ton of KPM Library records there once.
	🥁 10:12pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:10 Holy crap. I wouldn't have known what those were until a couple of years ago.
	10:13pm Rich in Washington: i once had a long conversation with a white supremacist guy over CB - there was this incredible atmospheric skip where either of us coudn't believe how we were able to communicate. I think he was in Idaho. A very polite nazi. We were talking about Waco, which had just happened. But then I started playing what I was recording of our conversation back to him over the air and he freaked out and thought I was the FBI or something. I don't think I have the recording anymore.
	🥁 10:14pm Kat in the chat: That's wild!
	10:14pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:13 I had stopped talking to him bc I was bored and he started evoking Jeeezus, so I stopped talking just started playing the conversation back to him
	10:15pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:13 yeah idaho had a bunch of those people living in giant compounds back in the day covenant the sword and the arm of the lord, etc
	10:15pm pot8o: (also a really good cabaret voltaire album)
	10:15pm Rich in Washington: but I couldn't record his reactions, which were funny. He wasn't mad, just genuinely curious and scared sounding before he finally signed off.
	10:15pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @10:15 one of my faves
	🥁 10:20pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Permafrost" by "Daniel Menche" This is beautiful.
	10:24pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Live: Los Angeles (LAX) Airport Plane Spotting Fr... Ah! Killing two shows at once. That channel has two 24-hour live feeds, too.
	10:25pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Don-O @10:24 I'm playing it on three browser tabs so they're slightly out-of-sync, thereby causing a delay effect.
	10:27pm A2B: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:15 Since you bring up white supremacists from Idaho, have you ever taken a thorough listen to aany of Dave Emory's podcasts from back in the 80's & 90's? A lot of the reports he delivered and the conspiracy theories he drew on turned out to be right on the money.
	10:28pm Don-O: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:25 Solid!
	10:28pm Rich in Washington: ↳ A2B @10:27 I used to listen to Emory quite a bit in that era, yes.
	10:28pm Rich in Washington: i should conjur up that Ham repeater that the Weatherman turned me onto.
	10:30pm pot8o: ↳ A2B @10:27 i've got a bunch of his radio shows that someone taped off of kpfa back in the day, should probably start transferring them soon
	10:33pm A2B: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:28 I couldn't believe what's happened to him since then. Lately he doesn't sound like he's in the best of health, at least judging from one of the more recent podcasts I heard.
	10:35pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "145.330 MHz through ping-pong delay" by "K6POU Am... apparently there's a bunch of drama surrounding this repeater? something about jamming but i know absolutely nothing about ham radio so i have no idea what's going on
	10:35pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @10:35 It's a hotbed for crazy jamming activity.
	🥁 10:36pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Geburt Einer Nation" by "Laibach" I think it's been decades since I heard the original of this
	10:36pm A2B: ↳ Song: "Geburt Einer Nation" by "Laibach" Oh shit! I have the original release of this in my vintage CD collection!
	10:36pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @10:35 Just lots of crackheads with nothing better to do but harass HAM people. It's pretty funny actually.
	10:37pm Rich in Washington: i didn't mean to play this particular track. Oh well.
	10:38pm Don-O: I need my Banana/PB sandwich. Well, I will check the Broken Radio next year. Thanks Rich! Meow!!
	10:39pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Don-O @10:38 Adios, Don-O! Have a great 2025!
	10:40pm Don-O: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:39 You, too!
	10:40pm A2B: ↳ Don-O @10:38 Bye-O, Don-O! Easy on the champagne!
	10:41pm Rich in Washington: Thanks for the LAX airport live feed idea
	10:43pm A2B: ↳ Song: "Leben Heißt Leben" by "Laibach" And I should add that I could not be more excited over discovering this release! Totally new to me!
	10:44pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:36 can see why the negativland people are so infatuated with it ham radio drama is their bread and butter
	10:44pm Ike: Hippies!!!!!!!
	🥁 10:46pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hi Ike!
	🥁 10:46pm Kat in the chat: Meiko is talkative tonight!
	10:47pm Ike: Toasty also has a lot to say except when I hit "record" on my devices.
	10:47pm ultradamno: I caught Cracking Up on ScreenPix recently, an AIP production full of mid-70s LA improv luminaries of the time (Edie McClurg, Fred Willard, Michael McKean, Harry Shearer, David Lander) and Fee Waybill acts in it to (there two Tubes songs featured)...it is a startlingly bad patchwork of sketches (in the UHF, Kentucky Fried Movie vein).
	10:49pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @10:47 I don't remember that. Didn't Jerry Lewis have a 70s or 80s movie with the same title?
	10:50pm ultradamno: He did, in '83, this one's from '77 www.imdb.com...
	10:50pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:49 update: Jerry's film was in '83 and was roasted by critics.
	10:51pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Blues rot" by "Dommengang" This is awesome, what I didn’t know that I needed right now
	10:51pm Rich in Washington: I remember seeing it on local TV and it looked like it was shot on 16mm
	10:51pm Rich in Washington: ↳ DJ Peter @10:51 Hi Peter! Yes! This track is the shiz. Love this band.
	10:52pm ultradamno: Apparently even IMDb were confused, that page includes a trailer from the '83 movie
	10:52pm Rich in Washington: Well, will 2025 be the year we see The Day The Clown Cried?
	10:53pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @10:52 I would imagine a site like IMDB are probably using AI to scrape info nowadays.
	10:53pm A2B: ↳ ultradamno @10:47 I'm guessing one of the Tubes tunes is "White Punks on Dope"?
	10:54pm ultradamno: It is for a fact, the other is What Do You Want From Life
	10:54pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Rich and broken radio connoisseurs
	10:55pm Rich in Washington: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:54 Howdy, coel!
	10:55pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @10:54 Oh, Proud To Be An American too
	10:56pm A2B: ↳ ultradamno @10:54 And Fee plays his on-stage alter ego Quay Lewd in it, right?
	10:57pm ultradamno: Professor Ceedee, a stock mad German scientist or geologist (there's an earthquake theme)
	🥁 10:58pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey coel!
	10:58pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:53 Likely, they still allow for crowd sourced contributions, apparently, but likely not for stuff like that
	🥁 10:58pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Space Prophet Dogon" by "Grails" A nice segue AND a Sun City Girls cover!
	10:58pm Ike: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:53 As Mark Hurst tells us almost every week, AI is trash. Artificial Idiocy (from us American Idiots).
	10:59pm A2B: ↳ ultradamno @10:57 "Professor Ceedee"...that's quite an unwittingly prescient name!
	10:59pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:58 Danke, Wenders!
	🥁 10:59pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Ike @10:58 A friend recently sent me a letter wherein she said, "AI = already intolerable." YUP.
	11:00pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:58 Hi there Wendy!
	🥁 11:03pm WR: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:08 Was heating up some soup, so behind in the playlist. If you are thinking of getting some of the Menche, check about subscribing. I did back in Sept. Wacky bc doesn't show me the subscription price since I am subscribed but I recall it be something like 45 for the year.
	🥁 11:03pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Space Prophet Dogon" by "Sun City Girls" YAY! It's really fun to sing along to this... or at least try.
	🥁 11:03pm Kat in the chat: ↳ WR @11:03 Thanks WR, I might do that.
	11:05pm A2B: ↳ Ike @10:58 And I for one couldn't agree more! Like everything else in Capitalist America, they sell it like a fad just to lure the non-sophisticate luddites. But that just invites trouble in many possible ways to different channels of social media.
	11:05pm coelacanth∅: ↳ WR @11:03 it's only $25 (or more)/year. ...about a million albums
	11:06pm Rich in Washington: Got to see Rick Bishop do a lovely solo instrumental version of this in a tiny deli in St. Johns neighborhood of Portland years ago.
	🥁 11:09pm WR: ↳ A2B @10:33 You folks writing about this Dave Emory. I've listened to bits. wfmu.org...
	11:10pm egould: Digging it.
	11:11pm A2B: ↳ WR @11:09 His weekly reports on the mechanisms of the Far Right are very engaging.
	🥁 11:13pm Kat in the chat: I'm gonna head upstairs and listen from bed. 'Night, all! Thanks, Rich! The double Dogons was cool.
	11:13pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:13 Nighty night, Kat! Pleasant dreams!
	11:15pm A2B: ↳ Song: "Storm The Reality Studios" by "Dead Fingers Talk" This could be subtitled "Cold Turkey Pt. 2".
	11:15pm coelacanth∅: ↳ A2B @11:11 i listened to Dave Emory every week. then he had a stroke. he came back, but it was painful to listen to him. ...i suppose he wouldn't be very popular among all the brainwashed compliants created during covysteria.
	🥁 11:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Reality Whitewash" by "Crass" \m/
	11:20pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Reality Whitewash" by "Crass" nww list!!!!!
	11:20pm A2B: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:15 Well, obviously he was hoping to reach unaffected individuals with stronger wills who would be more willing to understand and vouch for what he reports concerning the Far & Extreme Right factions.
	11:25pm coelacanth∅: ↳ A2B @11:20 true, but i think all people who care, and see the world turning to shit, have at least a glimmer of hope that what they say will be newly considered ideas by some folks. ...even dummied-down america still has the capacity to awaken, i think.
	11:43pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Early Mafia" by "Dub Syndicate" i know this song originally from a Patti Smith bootleg i bought in the 80s. (live at the bottom line, i think?)
	11:43pm A2B: The brainwashed ones only "awaken" at their own will, but still only see the world as it's being "taught" to them by tight-fisted heirarchical types. And I'll let you in on soneof my personal beliefs: White Man's America is not a "country" in the institutional sense to me. I'd call it a "cultry", a collection of diverse "cults", each catering to a particular tenet or a prefabricated system of faith. They could be masquerading as social clubs, privately-owned rehabilitation centers or any other type of legitimate-looking institution. Sometimes the behaviors of the ones in charge will give away the true intentions behind their ulterior motives.

The Radio Is Broken with Rich In Washington: Playlist from December 27, 2024

View Rich in Washington's profile

The Radio Is Broken is a three-hour spelunk through the canyons and fissures of humanity's collective unconscious. It sounds as if a field recording of the Culture Industry were a sonic juggernaut barreling down a rickety track—except that tunnel ahead is just painted onto a sheer cliff wall. With occasional forays into what might pass for "normal" music. Prerequisite journey: Cratedigger's Lung

	🥁 9:16pm Kat in the chat: I like pothos a lot! I have four or five kinds of pothos right now,because the plant store that used to be up the street had a very generous going-out-of-business sale. After that, the space became a Harris/Walz campaign office. Now it's for rent again. Sigh

	9:23pm v-dawg: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:18 My question to you on the text is the 'why'. Did someone from Chuvashia create this mechanical duck?
	9:23pm Rich in Washington: ↳ v-dawg @9:23 for science
	🥁 9:23pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:22 SAME. I had too many cups of black tea today to help me drive home. And I've been eating delicious foods, but not enough vegetables. My tummy is glad I'm home.
	9:25pm Don-O: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:22 I'm pushing my luck as well, I had a Rockstar Punched Energy Drink: Fruit Punch just before my show. I helped, but I know I'll pay for it later.

	9:29pm Don-O: I fact, Buddy is talking me into doing a FB Live deal from the front porch of my house to video the fire works going off up and down the street. Tis be a challenge....
	🥁 9:29pm Wendy del Formaggio: I gotta go upstairs and make my bed and do a little unpacking. I'm going into Lurking Mode for a spell.
	🥁 9:30pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Don-O @9:29 I might have to tune into that. I'll most likely be home!
	🥁 9:30pm Kat in the chat: See ya, Wendo!

	9:37pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:36 He just shared an Xmas record on his blog a few days before he passed away. I had assumed he stopped blogging because of his writing and publishing. Nope.

	🥁 9:38pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:37 I wonder if someone will keep the blog up. I didn't go there as often as I would have liked to.
	🥁 9:41pm Kat in the chat: Ugh, Father Francis!
	🥁 9:41pm WR: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:38 I imagine that Niall, his husband will keep the blog up. I was just reading some of the none music entries, including an article Darryl wrote when he and Niall became husband and husband under the new laws in 2014.
	9:42pm A2B: Hi, Rich! Hi-Ho, Don-O! Hello Broken Radio Rebels! Rich, the last two discs in that last set are in my vintage CD collection! (And the third to last one should be!)
	🥁 9:43pm Kat in the chat: OMG I think this is actually worse than The Big A/The Big M
	9:45pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:43 I sent Darryl a copy of that and he featured it on his show! Careful or I'll go get it!
	🥁 9:45pm Kat in the chat: Life begins at conception vs. Life Begins at the Hop
	🥁 9:45pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:45 Get what? I didn't say nuthin'!
	9:46pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Life Begins at the Hop" by "XTC" I dunno if Andy Partridge is online in any way, but I wonder if he'd mention Darryl's passing. They were pretty chummy.
	🥁 9:46pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:45 I always forget you were the guilty party there
	9:47pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:46 I'll do you one better. Coming up. Something truly wretched.

	9:49pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @9:48 Yes. The late Mrs. Robert Blake.
	9:49pm A2B: Darryl confessed in one article on his blog that he was an atheist. I guess he's now finding out for himself if there really is a Supreme Being watching over Creation somewhere in the Great Beyond.
	9:50pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Laura Panic @9:48 Nice! I'll try not to make it too awful but I'm paying tribute to my fallen friend who was a purveyor of truly awful music.
	9:50pm Rich in Washington: ↳ A2B @9:49 Probably not
	🥁 9:51pm Wendy del Formaggio: OMG LITTLE MARKIE! I knew it from the first few notes, which doesn't say anything good about me.

	9:52pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Diary of an Unborn Child" by "Mark Fox Feat. Litt... April Winchell was the first show I heard this....

	9:58pm Don-O: I'm disappointed that god doesn't yell "YOU ASSHOLES!!"
	10:01pm A2B: ↳ Song: "Life Begins at the Hop" by "XTC" I'm sure I've mentioned before who I had to thank for regenerating my interest in XTC, another belated WFMU alum, Francis Xavier O'Toole (RIP).

	🥁 10:08pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Permafrost" by "Daniel Menche" Oh good lord, this is AN HOUR? ...I'll probably buy it anyway. Into the wishlist.
	10:09pm Rich in Washington: It also took me forever to finally find the Swaggart record with the 'it's the MUSIC' sample. So painful.
	🥁 10:09pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:07 I got it at a Salvation Army in the 80s!
	10:09pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:08 yeah, I'm not gonna play it all.
	10:09pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:09 Salvation Army, despite them being hateful homophobes, wwas the best place for records, actually.
	🥁 10:10pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:09 this is so Extremely My Shit though. It would be nice for going to sleep to.
	10:10pm pot8o: i also have a field recording i made of some shortwave nutter screaming about the end of the world somewhere i think i might've lost the entire thing but i have a version on my computer where i ran it through a bunch of reverb and delay
	10:10pm Rich in Washington: I once found a shit-ton of KPM Library records there once.
	🥁 10:12pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:10 Holy crap. I wouldn't have known what those were until a couple of years ago.
	10:13pm Rich in Washington: i once had a long conversation with a white supremacist guy over CB - there was this incredible atmospheric skip where either of us coudn't believe how we were able to communicate. I think he was in Idaho. A very polite nazi. We were talking about Waco, which had just happened. But then I started playing what I was recording of our conversation back to him over the air and he freaked out and thought I was the FBI or something. I don't think I have the recording anymore.
	🥁 10:14pm Kat in the chat: That's wild!
	10:14pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:13 I had stopped talking to him bc I was bored and he started evoking Jeeezus, so I stopped talking just started playing the conversation back to him
	10:15pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:13 yeah idaho had a bunch of those people living in giant compounds back in the day covenant the sword and the arm of the lord, etc
	10:15pm pot8o: (also a really good cabaret voltaire album)
	10:15pm Rich in Washington: but I couldn't record his reactions, which were funny. He wasn't mad, just genuinely curious and scared sounding before he finally signed off.
	10:15pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @10:15 one of my faves
	🥁 10:20pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Permafrost" by "Daniel Menche" This is beautiful.
	10:24pm Don-O: ↳ Song: "Live: Los Angeles (LAX) Airport Plane Spotting Fr... Ah! Killing two shows at once. That channel has two 24-hour live feeds, too.
	10:25pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Don-O @10:24 I'm playing it on three browser tabs so they're slightly out-of-sync, thereby causing a delay effect.
	10:27pm A2B: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:15 Since you bring up white supremacists from Idaho, have you ever taken a thorough listen to aany of Dave Emory's podcasts from back in the 80's & 90's? A lot of the reports he delivered and the conspiracy theories he drew on turned out to be right on the money.
	10:28pm Don-O: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:25 Solid!
	10:28pm Rich in Washington: ↳ A2B @10:27 I used to listen to Emory quite a bit in that era, yes.
	10:28pm Rich in Washington: i should conjur up that Ham repeater that the Weatherman turned me onto.
	10:30pm pot8o: ↳ A2B @10:27 i've got a bunch of his radio shows that someone taped off of kpfa back in the day, should probably start transferring them soon
	10:33pm A2B: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:28 I couldn't believe what's happened to him since then. Lately he doesn't sound like he's in the best of health, at least judging from one of the more recent podcasts I heard.
	10:35pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "145.330 MHz through ping-pong delay" by "K6POU Am... apparently there's a bunch of drama surrounding this repeater? something about jamming but i know absolutely nothing about ham radio so i have no idea what's going on
	10:35pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @10:35 It's a hotbed for crazy jamming activity.
	🥁 10:36pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Geburt Einer Nation" by "Laibach" I think it's been decades since I heard the original of this
	10:36pm A2B: ↳ Song: "Geburt Einer Nation" by "Laibach" Oh shit! I have the original release of this in my vintage CD collection!
	10:36pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @10:35 Just lots of crackheads with nothing better to do but harass HAM people. It's pretty funny actually.
	10:37pm Rich in Washington: i didn't mean to play this particular track. Oh well.
	10:38pm Don-O: I need my Banana/PB sandwich. Well, I will check the Broken Radio next year. Thanks Rich! Meow!!
	10:39pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Don-O @10:38 Adios, Don-O! Have a great 2025!
	10:40pm Don-O: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:39 You, too!
	10:40pm A2B: ↳ Don-O @10:38 Bye-O, Don-O! Easy on the champagne!
	10:41pm Rich in Washington: Thanks for the LAX airport live feed idea
	10:43pm A2B: ↳ Song: "Leben Heißt Leben" by "Laibach" And I should add that I could not be more excited over discovering this release! Totally new to me!
	10:44pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:36 can see why the negativland people are so infatuated with it ham radio drama is their bread and butter
	10:44pm Ike: Hippies!!!!!!!
	🥁 10:46pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hi Ike!
	🥁 10:46pm Kat in the chat: Meiko is talkative tonight!
	10:47pm Ike: Toasty also has a lot to say except when I hit "record" on my devices.
	10:47pm ultradamno: I caught Cracking Up on ScreenPix recently, an AIP production full of mid-70s LA improv luminaries of the time (Edie McClurg, Fred Willard, Michael McKean, Harry Shearer, David Lander) and Fee Waybill acts in it to (there two Tubes songs featured)...it is a startlingly bad patchwork of sketches (in the UHF, Kentucky Fried Movie vein).
	10:49pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @10:47 I don't remember that. Didn't Jerry Lewis have a 70s or 80s movie with the same title?
	10:50pm ultradamno: He did, in '83, this one's from '77 www.imdb.com...
	10:50pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:49 update: Jerry's film was in '83 and was roasted by critics.
	10:51pm DJ Peter: ↳ Song: "Blues rot" by "Dommengang" This is awesome, what I didn’t know that I needed right now
	10:51pm Rich in Washington: I remember seeing it on local TV and it looked like it was shot on 16mm
	10:51pm Rich in Washington: ↳ DJ Peter @10:51 Hi Peter! Yes! This track is the shiz. Love this band.
	10:52pm ultradamno: Apparently even IMDb were confused, that page includes a trailer from the '83 movie
	10:52pm Rich in Washington: Well, will 2025 be the year we see The Day The Clown Cried?
	10:53pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @10:52 I would imagine a site like IMDB are probably using AI to scrape info nowadays.
	10:53pm A2B: ↳ ultradamno @10:47 I'm guessing one of the Tubes tunes is "White Punks on Dope"?
	10:54pm ultradamno: It is for a fact, the other is What Do You Want From Life
	10:54pm coelacanth∅: Greetings Rich and broken radio connoisseurs
	10:55pm Rich in Washington: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:54 Howdy, coel!
	10:55pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @10:54 Oh, Proud To Be An American too
	10:56pm A2B: ↳ ultradamno @10:54 And Fee plays his on-stage alter ego Quay Lewd in it, right?
	10:57pm ultradamno: Professor Ceedee, a stock mad German scientist or geologist (there's an earthquake theme)
	🥁 10:58pm Wendy del Formaggio: Hey coel!
	10:58pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:53 Likely, they still allow for crowd sourced contributions, apparently, but likely not for stuff like that
	🥁 10:58pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Space Prophet Dogon" by "Grails" A nice segue AND a Sun City Girls cover!
	10:58pm Ike: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:53 As Mark Hurst tells us almost every week, AI is trash. Artificial Idiocy (from us American Idiots).
	10:59pm A2B: ↳ ultradamno @10:57 "Professor Ceedee"...that's quite an unwittingly prescient name!
	10:59pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:58 Danke, Wenders!
	🥁 10:59pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Ike @10:58 A friend recently sent me a letter wherein she said, "AI = already intolerable." YUP.
	11:00pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @10:58 Hi there Wendy!
	🥁 11:03pm WR: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:08 Was heating up some soup, so behind in the playlist. If you are thinking of getting some of the Menche, check about subscribing. I did back in Sept. Wacky bc doesn't show me the subscription price since I am subscribed but I recall it be something like 45 for the year.
	🥁 11:03pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Space Prophet Dogon" by "Sun City Girls" YAY! It's really fun to sing along to this... or at least try.
	🥁 11:03pm Kat in the chat: ↳ WR @11:03 Thanks WR, I might do that.
	11:05pm A2B: ↳ Ike @10:58 And I for one couldn't agree more! Like everything else in Capitalist America, they sell it like a fad just to lure the non-sophisticate luddites. But that just invites trouble in many possible ways to different channels of social media.
	11:05pm coelacanth∅: ↳ WR @11:03 it's only $25 (or more)/year. ...about a million albums
	11:06pm Rich in Washington: Got to see Rick Bishop do a lovely solo instrumental version of this in a tiny deli in St. Johns neighborhood of Portland years ago.
	🥁 11:09pm WR: ↳ A2B @10:33 You folks writing about this Dave Emory. I've listened to bits. wfmu.org...
	11:10pm egould: Digging it.
	11:11pm A2B: ↳ WR @11:09 His weekly reports on the mechanisms of the Far Right are very engaging.
	🥁 11:13pm Kat in the chat: I'm gonna head upstairs and listen from bed. 'Night, all! Thanks, Rich! The double Dogons was cool.
	11:13pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Kat in the chat @11:13 Nighty night, Kat! Pleasant dreams!
	11:15pm A2B: ↳ Song: "Storm The Reality Studios" by "Dead Fingers Talk" This could be subtitled "Cold Turkey Pt. 2".
	11:15pm coelacanth∅: ↳ A2B @11:11 i listened to Dave Emory every week. then he had a stroke. he came back, but it was painful to listen to him. ...i suppose he wouldn't be very popular among all the brainwashed compliants created during covysteria.
	🥁 11:16pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Reality Whitewash" by "Crass" \m/
	11:20pm pot8o: ↳ Song: "Reality Whitewash" by "Crass" nww list!!!!!
	11:20pm A2B: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:15 Well, obviously he was hoping to reach unaffected individuals with stronger wills who would be more willing to understand and vouch for what he reports concerning the Far & Extreme Right factions.
	11:25pm coelacanth∅: ↳ A2B @11:20 true, but i think all people who care, and see the world turning to shit, have at least a glimmer of hope that what they say will be newly considered ideas by some folks. ...even dummied-down america still has the capacity to awaken, i think.
	11:43pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Early Mafia" by "Dub Syndicate" i know this song originally from a Patti Smith bootleg i bought in the 80s. (live at the bottom line, i think?)
	11:43pm A2B: The brainwashed ones only "awaken" at their own will, but still only see the world as it's being "taught" to them by tight-fisted heirarchical types. And I'll let you in on soneof my personal beliefs: White Man's America is not a "country" in the institutional sense to me. I'd call it a "cultry", a collection of diverse "cults", each catering to a particular tenet or a prefabricated system of faith. They could be masquerading as social clubs, privately-owned rehabilitation centers or any other type of legitimate-looking institution. Sometimes the behaviors of the ones in charge will give away the true intentions behind their ulterior motives.
	11:43pm Rich in Washington: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:43 Really?
	11:44pm coelacanth∅: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:43 ...also the first place i heard "we're gonna have a real good time together" (v.u.) and by far the best version.
	11:48pm A2B: ↳ A2B @11:43 Replying @coelacanthø
	11:49pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:43 damn. can't find it on discogs. i was hoping at least i had submitted it; but i have a high pile of boots waiting to be submitted. (i don't have my vinyl here) on this album it's called "my mafia".
	11:49pm Rich in Washington: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:49 Intriguing
	11:51pm coelacanth∅: ↳ A2B @11:43 very interesting. -i will read this again later, when my mind isn't severely divided
	🥁 11:52pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Song: "Shoelace" by "Charles Bukowski" There's something about this that reminds me of "Sea Ferring" by Butthole Surfers.
	11:52pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:49 i'll gladly send you a digital copy...eventually! (my vinyl digitizing, grading, and selling is on hold for a while)
	11:53pm coelacanth∅: (it's also got a sweet rendition of pale blue eyes)
	11:53pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Wendy del Formaggio @11:52 Ha ha! I almost grabbed Pussyhorse just now!
	11:54pm Rich in Washington: ↳ coelacanth∅ @11:53 Nice. I'd like to hear it.
	🥁 11:54pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:53 Psychic DJ Connection. Plate of Shrimp. Pussyhorse grabs back. :-D
	11:55pm ultradamno: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:53 When you're a DJ it lets you do it
	11:55pm northguineahills: here, I just need to find my earbuds.
	🥁 11:55pm Wendy del Formaggio: Rich, you really are the best. <3
	11:56pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @11:55 They're between two sofa cushions
	🥁 11:57pm Wendy del Formaggio: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:56 I was gonna say they're stuffed in the car seat with NGH's housekey. :-D
	11:57pm pot8o: ↳ northguineahills @11:55 ngh!
	🥁 11:57pm Aitch: Been lurking, thanks Rich, HNY!
	12:00am Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @11:57 You lurker, you!

	12:01am northguineahills: ok, verking! thanks rich!
	12:01am pot8o: thanks rich! have a great week everyone!
	🥁 12:01am Wendy del Formaggio: YAY! Thank you, Rich!
	12:01am northguineahills: ↳ pot8o @11:57 papas!
	🥁 12:01am WR: Thank you! Rich! Laters, good folks.
	12:03am coelacanth∅: Thanks Rich! take care
	12:03am A2B: ↳ Song: "Somewhere" by "Gleaming Spires" Sparks wannabes! 😝
	12:04am A2B: Thanks, Rich! See you next year!
	12:04am Rich in Washington: ↳ A2B @12:03 Sparks MEMBERS
	12:05am A2B: ↳ Rich in Washington @12:04 You man it's actually them?
	12:06am A2B: ↳ A2B @12:05 *mean
	🥁 12:06am Wendy del Formaggio: GET THE FUCK OFF THE INTERNET!
	12:06am Rich in Washington: ↳ A2B @12:05 Both of them were members of Sparks in the 80s.
	12:06am Rich in Washington: Good night everyone!
	12:08am A2B: ↳ Rich in Washington @12:06 I did not know that! Julie plays them often!
