Listener comments!
	12:01pm Rich in Washington: RIP Darryl! Such a hilarious and wonderful man.
	12:01pm Mr Fab: Sounds weird to say, but this should be the most hilarious memorial service ever.
	12:01pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Fluffy" by "Gloria Balsam" Keep it Fluffy!
	12:02pm Asheville Jon: ↳ Song: "Fluffy" by "Gloria Balsam" i love the live version of this song
	12:03pm Asheville Jon: RIP Darryl
	12:03pm Kat in the chat: Miss Mei, I'm glad you're doing this, even though it means we have to hear "Fluffy."
	12:04pm Miss Mei: ↳ Kat in the chat @12:03 It only goes uphill from here. Or maybe downhill. We'll see !
	12:05pm Miss Mei: Darryl would want us to party, so that's what we're doing here today. Let's celebrate him together with some strange music, shall we?
	12:11pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "I Am a Twinkling Star (Album Version)" by "Katinka" I own a copy of this. The record is blue, it's real pretty and has adorable cover art.
	12:12pm Rich in Washington: I thought I knew all about bad music until Darryl's blog and later radio show.
	12:13pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Her Phone Number (On The Wall)" by "Tony Fabbri" Last night I found out another dozen or so lost Tony songs. Hoping and praying they came out on 45.
	12:14pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Her Phone Number (On The Wall)" by "Tony Fabbri" YOUR FONE NUMBER IS WRITTEN ON A FONE BOOTH WALLS!
	12:14pm Mr Fab: ↳ Miss Mei @12:13 From his CD? Which I posted on my old blog, and hence discovered by Darryl. Or is this other stuff?
	12:15pm Mr Fab: ↳ Miss Mei @12:14 You got me, baby, I'm all shook up!
	12:15pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @12:14 That came out on his CD but was originally put out on Vinyl in te 70s. And before that, an earlier version of the song with alternate lyrics (co written by Larry Hays) came out around 1964.
	12:16pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Uncle Harry" by "The Children of Sunshine" I always wondered why these girls think Harry is a weird name.
	12:17pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Just A Fan" by "Leebonny" I reached out to one of Bakely's former music collaborators to try and uncover her lost 45, no reply tho :(
	12:17pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Just A Fan" by "Leebonny" Robert Blake's murder victim.
	12:18pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @12:17 She was aware of how bad her singing was. When she was listening to her vocals played back, someone who worked with her said she was laughing.
	12:18pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Just A Fan" by "Leebonny" Plutonium! I keep my copy in a lead-lined sleeve to protect my other records.
	12:19pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "I'm Number One" by "Patrick McBride & Dana Walden" This is from a record that Namco OFFICIALLY LICENSED. this is official Pac Man lore.
	12:21pm Feldy: Beautiful reason for a tribute, Michele. Darryl gave is the World's Worst but he was the World's Best
	12:26pm Feldy: Oops autocorrect Miss Mei :)
	12:27pm Rich in Washington: It's amazing how googling so many of these songs/artists leads directly to Darryl's blog, but also to Discogs and I've added them to my Wantlist.
	12:27pm Miss Mei: ↳ Rich in Washington @12:27 Discogs has been broken for a while now for me. I haven't been able to add to my wantlist in 2 years.
	12:28pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Miss Mei @12:27 Discogs is doing a bang-up job of turning their site into an unusable clusterfuck.
	12:29pm Miss Mei: ↳ Rich in Washington @12:28 People are also REALLY rudeon there. If I make a mistake in information when archiving a release on there, people act really rude about it for whatever reason.
	12:31pm Mr Fab: Darryl's first books were his "World's Worst Records" volumes (on the far left in the photo). They were for a bit of a niche market. So was quite pleasantly shocked when i walked in to a major bookstore and saw a copy of "David Bowie Made Me Gay" on display. I was like: hey, I know that guy! And I felt proud, like: our little boy has grown up.
	12:34pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Mr Fab @12:31 by weird coincidence, I was in a new bookstore and saw they'd made a cool feature display of Queer/LGBT+ literature and I telling a clerk about Darryl's Bowie book and the next day I heard the terrible news about his passing.
	12:34pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Where Are You Going" by "Mary Solberg" WHERE ARE YOU GOING OH THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE GOING WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN OH THAT'S WHERE YOUVE BEEN
	12:35pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Miss Mei @12:11 I really liked that cover art too! "The House of Music" I think?
	12:36pm Miss Mei: ↳ Kat in the chat @12:35 Yep. She also had a 45 release
	12:39pm Feldy: Mr Fab, is anybody submitting anything for the LCD program guide about Darryl? I have a couple drawings of Darryl I might send in
	12:41pm Rich in Washington: This music is so (wonderfully) terrible that I keep expecting Darryl's cheerful voice to come on between songs. This is a lovely tribute, Miss Mei!
	12:42pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Miss Mei @12:19 This stuff is indeed appropriately awful.
	12:43pm Webhamster Henry: Reminder: you can clicky-star any WFMU show for future quick reference!
	12:44pm Feldy: ↳ Song: "Dough Boy Boogie" by "Chef Joseph And The A.M. Ca... Reverend Horton Heat could make this song a jam
	12:44pm Miss Mei: I am so glad my laptop is behaving. Before the show started it was slow, I wasn't able to type too well, and audio was cutting in and out.
	12:45pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Dough Boy Boogie" by "Chef Joseph And The A.M. Ca... I wanted to not repeat artists on this show, but the B-side, "Party Up, Chef" is also really good
	12:45pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Cool Cool Heart" by "Terry Pelton" This was recorded in a kitchen by the way.
	12:46pm Mr Fab: ↳ Feldy @12:39 That'd be cool! I have no idea what's been sent to the new LCD, so i'd say go for it.
	12:46pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Cool Cool Heart" by "Terry Pelton" Friends have told me this song has Ween vibes. I've never really listened to Ween.
	12:48pm Feldy: ↳ Mr Fab @12:46 Okay cool! I'm gonna do it :)
	12:50pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "La Naranja" by "Pimpollin" Peculiar Mexican Christian children's tune by friend of the show, the clown pimpollin
	12:53pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Rats In My Room" by "Leona Anderson" Ahh, an Incorrect Music classic!
	12:53pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Rats In My Room" by "Leona Anderson" I remember reading a story on Youtube about how someone's grandma had this played at her funeral. The mounrers went from crying, to going quiet, to laughing.
	12:53pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Miss Mei @12:53 Ha! I wonder what the story was behind that.
	12:54pm Miss Mei: ↳ Kat in the chat @12:53 Must've been a cool grandma.
	12:55pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Satisfaction" by "Sam Chalpin" The 80s had The 2 Coreys. The 60s had The 2 Sams: Sam Chalpin and Sam Sacks (who comes up next)
	12:57pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Yodel Blues" by "Sam Sacks" It really is the best yodeling I've ever heard
	12:57pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Little Miss (Excerpt)" by "Unknown" Sadly we don't have the full song. I found this on eBay. It's from a mysterious acetate. Acetate sellers on eBay who include audio clips, NEVER include the full songs. So we only have a little of this weirdness.
	12:58pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Little Miss (Excerpt)" by "Unknown" When I first found this, I immediately sent it to Darryl, who made an edit to extend it and have it fade out naturally rather than the sharp cut we will soon hear.
	12:59pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Virgin Child Of The Universe (W. Carrie & Bonnie ... Hoo boy. I don't remember hearing this one before!
	1:00pm Miss Mei: ↳ Kat in the chat @12:59 Oh this is a classic! Wish we knew who the vocalist was for this song poem.
	1:00pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Virgin Child Of The Universe (W. Carrie & Bonnie ... I love playing this song for people and seeing their reactions to the lyrics.
	1:01pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Miss Mei @1:00 Yes, she deserves credit!
	1:01pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Far From My Country" by "Lauré Anne Truchon" Oh how I love this song. I've tried desparately to connect with people in Maine (where she lives) to help me find her, but no such luck. She released a total of 10 songs on the Ohio label Jewel Records.
	1:02pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Far From My Country" by "Lauré Anne Truchon" Title was misspelled as "Far From My Contry" on the copyright details
	1:08pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "The Backbone of America Is a Mule and Cotton" by ... One of Abner's weird spoken word tracks!
	1:13pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Into Our Band" by "The Mystic Zephyrs 4" This record goes for insane prices.
	1:18pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Rockin' In The USA" by "Unknown" Oh boy, you're all in for a treat with this one.
	1:20pm Feldy: ↳ Song: "Rockin' In The USA" by "Unknown" Really rocks
	1:22pm Kat in the chat: Yes very rockin'
	1:24pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Rockin' In The USA" by "Unknown" I won't lie, that song sounds like what it sounds like when I'm trying to write songs.
	1:29pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Voice of the Rose" by "Bert Lowry with Orchestra ... Portland-Represent!
	1:30pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "What The World Needs Now is Love" by "Hammond Sta... I still think this is the most moving rendition of this song.
	1:35pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "The Kookie Limbo" by "Kookie Joe" DO THE LIMBAH EVERYONE!
	1:36pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "The Kookie Limbo" by "Kookie Joe" This weird song actually came with limbo sets in the 1960s.
	1:54pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Wipe The Tears From Your Eyes" by "Johnny Lane" it's the Casio Elvis
	1:55pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @1:54 Eilart Pilarm has some competition!
	👻 1:56pm WR: Hi Miss Mei. I had a doctor appointment at 12:30 so have not been listening until a little while ago, when I arrived home. I saw that photo of Darryl's books, with the different editions and translations on his FB. I have each of his book (1 each, not every edition) except The Infamous Cherry Sisters. The only copy I've found of that they want a somewhat inflated price.
	1:58pm Feldy: Darryl would've loved today's show, Miss Mei. I did!
	1:58pm Miss Mei: ↳ WR @1:56 I wish i could say I owned one of his books. Being disabled and broke means I don't get to buy cool things that often anymore
	1:59pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Let's Dance" by "Lloyd Marshall" DAEENCE DAEEENCE OH DAEEENCE DAEENCE
	2:03pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "My Wig Changing Mini Skirted Mama" by "Russ Thomp... What a voice on this guy, huh?
	2:05pm Rich in Washington: Russ Thompson sounds a bit like Killdozer's Mike Gerard
	👻 2:15pm Herbie: Ooops slept in. Mornin!
	2:16pm Miss Mei: ↳ Herbie @2:15 Hey! Today's show might be a minute or two over time, just a warning!
	👻 2:16pm WR: ↳ Song: "The Kookie Limbo" by "Kookie Joe" My family had a limbo kit that came with the Kookie Joe record. I think the record is long gone but it did last longer than the kit did.
	2:17pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Nums (On The Boardwalk)" by "Zoom Enterprises" Num's Bar & Cafe was a bar that was located on the Long Branch boardwalk
	2:18pm Kat in the chat: Obvs I thought this was "Nuns On The Boardwalk" till I looked at the playlist
	👻 2:19pm Herbie: ↳ Miss Mei @2:16 Ok no prob. Just give me a heads up in the chat when it's the last song.
	2:19pm Miss Mei: ↳ Herbie @2:19 Yeah sure!
	2:20pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "I'm Just a Little Baby" by "Norman Temple" Been waiting several years to hear this, but thank goodness, someone shared some of Norman's previously lost 45s on Youtube recently!
	2:20pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "I'm Just a Little Baby" by "Norman Temple" Norman marketed himself as a "bad" musician. The liner notes on his 45s are hilarious.
	2:21pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "I'm Just a Little Baby" by "Norman Temple" During his song-poem days, Temple had Jimmy Drake, AKA Nervous Norvus, do a rendition of his song "I Hate Bugs". As a result, people think that this is a Nervous Norvus original.
	2:21pm Feldy: I'm glad my math was off and there's another hour
	2:22pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Paper Roses" by "The Lee's" I am regretting playing this one already.
	👻 2:23pm WR: ↳ Miss Mei @2:22 ah, it is a perfect world worst records record.
	2:24pm Rich in Washington: Little kids singing adult songs = Bad music gold.
	2:24pm Miss Mei: ↳ WR @2:23 The Lee's record is quite a mixed bag. It's got three or four tracks I enjoy. This isn't one of them.
	2:25pm Miss Mei: ↳ Rich in Washington @2:24 For sure. I have a weird version of a 6 year old singing The Beatles "When I'm 64" from a school talent show.
	2:26pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Miss Mei @2:25 wonder if that kid's 64 yet.
	2:26pm Miss Mei: ↳ Rich in Washington @2:26 It was from the late 90s, so she's probably in her early-mid 30s now.
	2:27pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Wipe Out" by "The Shaggs" The previously unreleased Shaggs instrumental that people accused of being fake when I shared it to Youtube!
	2:28pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Miss Mei @2:27 Wow! This is a good reason to buy this reissue!
	2:28pm Mr Fab: ↳ Miss Mei @2:27 Whaa?! Where did this come from?
	2:28pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Wipe Out" by "The Shaggs" Best drum solo known to man. You can't get better than this, folks.
	2:28pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @2:28 Was on a fairly recent reissue of one of their albums.
	2:29pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @2:28 Just checked, this is a Shagg's Own Thing reissue bonus track.
	2:30pm Rich in Washington: Oh. It's only on the Bandcamp reissue. Not on CD or the vinyl reissue.
	2:30pm Mr Fab: ↳ Miss Mei @2:29 Wow, had no idea.
	2:32pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "God's in the Chips" by "Rich Ristagno" Give me echo and drum machine and I'm a happy camper. This is a cool LP.
	2:33pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Little Red book" by "Gary" Dig the album art: www.discogs.com...
	2:34pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Little Red book" by "Gary" Interesting pitch choices here....
	2:35pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "There's No One Like Her" by "Rick Stone" Last 5 songs (got a couple longer oddities at the tail end of the show)
	2:39pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Rockin' Revolution" by "Corey Feldman" The newest song on the playlist, released on vinyl in 2021.
	2:45pm Rich in Washington: I think the stream conked out
	2:46pm grantbob: I thought it was just a dramatic pause.
	2:48pm Rich in Washington: back now, I think.
	2:48pm Miss Mei: Sorry, everyone! My laptop has poor internet connection these days and sometimes I need to use my cell phone's hotspot to get wi-fi on it. My phone died and i couldn't connect to my regular wi-fi. it's back now.
	👻 2:48pm WR: ↳ Rich in Washington @2:45 The ongoing war of the bandwidth.
	2:49pm Miss Mei: A disabled laptop for a disabled person, it's rather fitting for me. My laptop and I need matching canes.
	👻 2:52pm WR: ↳ Miss Mei @2:48 A lot of scrambling you did in a short time.
	2:54pm Miss Mei: ↳ WR @2:52 Yep, had to go get a charger, plug the phone back in, and so fourth. My laptop isn't even that old but due to my Ehlers Danlos I have weak muscles and am very prone to falling, dropping things and banging into things. My laptop has hit the ground on numerous occasions.
	2:55pm Mr Fab: is it me is the volume level low? Have my speakers cranked. Of course, hearing this at lower volume levels might be better for our sanity, haha.
	2:56pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @2:55 The volume is fine on my end.
	2:57pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Pocket Book / Food Now Now" by "Frederick Thomas" We are on the last song, by the way! Sorry for cutting out, there's sadly not much I can do about it.
	2:57pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Pocket Book / Food Now Now" by "Frederick Thomas" This is freaking amazing! Love the amazing mismatch between the rhythm section and the guitar. Absolutely bottom-drawer, as I used to say on Darryl's show.
	2:59pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Miss Mei @2:57 Don't sweat it too much. The show's fantastic. I similarly had internet issues at my old place. You're soldiering on admirably.
	2:59pm Miss Mei: ↳ Rich in Washington @2:57 I found this record in the summer last year and it's been played like three or four times already. I can't get enough!
	3:00pm Miss Mei: Thanks for coming out today, everyone
	3:00pm grantbob: Thanks for making it happen!
	3:01pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Miss Mei @2:59 Well, now it's on my Discogs wantlist - a fitting tribute to WWRS, as that program was singlehandedly responsible for growing my wantlist to the point where I will never catch up.
	👻 3:01pm WR: thank you!
	3:01pm Rich in Washington: thanks so much, Miss Mei!
	👻 3:01pm Herbie: Thanks Missy!
	3:01pm Mr Fab: Hey, it's over! Much thanks, Miss Mei - like I used to tell Darryl, this was the best worst.
	3:02pm Miss Mei: I've discovered some interesting records while looking for some material for today's show - you'll hear some more weird things next week!

Listener comments!
	12:01pm Rich in Washington: RIP Darryl! Such a hilarious and wonderful man.
	12:01pm Mr Fab: Sounds weird to say, but this should be the most hilarious memorial service ever.
	12:01pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Fluffy" by "Gloria Balsam" Keep it Fluffy!
	12:02pm Asheville Jon: ↳ Song: "Fluffy" by "Gloria Balsam" i love the live version of this song
	12:03pm Asheville Jon: RIP Darryl
	12:03pm Kat in the chat: Miss Mei, I'm glad you're doing this, even though it means we have to hear "Fluffy."
	12:04pm Miss Mei: ↳ Kat in the chat @12:03 It only goes uphill from here. Or maybe downhill. We'll see !
	12:05pm Miss Mei: Darryl would want us to party, so that's what we're doing here today. Let's celebrate him together with some strange music, shall we?
	12:11pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "I Am a Twinkling Star (Album Version)" by "Katinka" I own a copy of this. The record is blue, it's real pretty and has adorable cover art.
	12:12pm Rich in Washington: I thought I knew all about bad music until Darryl's blog and later radio show.
	12:13pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Her Phone Number (On The Wall)" by "Tony Fabbri" Last night I found out another dozen or so lost Tony songs. Hoping and praying they came out on 45.
	12:14pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Her Phone Number (On The Wall)" by "Tony Fabbri" YOUR FONE NUMBER IS WRITTEN ON A FONE BOOTH WALLS!
	12:14pm Mr Fab: ↳ Miss Mei @12:13 From his CD? Which I posted on my old blog, and hence discovered by Darryl. Or is this other stuff?
	12:15pm Mr Fab: ↳ Miss Mei @12:14 You got me, baby, I'm all shook up!
	12:15pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @12:14 That came out on his CD but was originally put out on Vinyl in te 70s. And before that, an earlier version of the song with alternate lyrics (co written by Larry Hays) came out around 1964.
	12:16pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Uncle Harry" by "The Children of Sunshine" I always wondered why these girls think Harry is a weird name.
	12:17pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Just A Fan" by "Leebonny" I reached out to one of Bakely's former music collaborators to try and uncover her lost 45, no reply tho :(
	12:17pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Just A Fan" by "Leebonny" Robert Blake's murder victim.
	12:18pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @12:17 She was aware of how bad her singing was. When she was listening to her vocals played back, someone who worked with her said she was laughing.
	12:18pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Just A Fan" by "Leebonny" Plutonium! I keep my copy in a lead-lined sleeve to protect my other records.
	12:19pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "I'm Number One" by "Patrick McBride & Dana Walden" This is from a record that Namco OFFICIALLY LICENSED. this is official Pac Man lore.
	12:21pm Feldy: Beautiful reason for a tribute, Michele. Darryl gave is the World's Worst but he was the World's Best
	12:26pm Feldy: Oops autocorrect Miss Mei :)
	12:27pm Rich in Washington: It's amazing how googling so many of these songs/artists leads directly to Darryl's blog, but also to Discogs and I've added them to my Wantlist.
	12:27pm Miss Mei: ↳ Rich in Washington @12:27 Discogs has been broken for a while now for me. I haven't been able to add to my wantlist in 2 years.
	12:28pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Miss Mei @12:27 Discogs is doing a bang-up job of turning their site into an unusable clusterfuck.
	12:29pm Miss Mei: ↳ Rich in Washington @12:28 People are also REALLY rudeon there. If I make a mistake in information when archiving a release on there, people act really rude about it for whatever reason.
	12:31pm Mr Fab: Darryl's first books were his "World's Worst Records" volumes (on the far left in the photo). They were for a bit of a niche market. So was quite pleasantly shocked when i walked in to a major bookstore and saw a copy of "David Bowie Made Me Gay" on display. I was like: hey, I know that guy! And I felt proud, like: our little boy has grown up.
	12:34pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Mr Fab @12:31 by weird coincidence, I was in a new bookstore and saw they'd made a cool feature display of Queer/LGBT+ literature and I telling a clerk about Darryl's Bowie book and the next day I heard the terrible news about his passing.
	12:34pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Where Are You Going" by "Mary Solberg" WHERE ARE YOU GOING OH THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE GOING WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN OH THAT'S WHERE YOUVE BEEN
	12:35pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Miss Mei @12:11 I really liked that cover art too! "The House of Music" I think?
	12:36pm Miss Mei: ↳ Kat in the chat @12:35 Yep. She also had a 45 release
	12:39pm Feldy: Mr Fab, is anybody submitting anything for the LCD program guide about Darryl? I have a couple drawings of Darryl I might send in
	12:41pm Rich in Washington: This music is so (wonderfully) terrible that I keep expecting Darryl's cheerful voice to come on between songs. This is a lovely tribute, Miss Mei!
	12:42pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Miss Mei @12:19 This stuff is indeed appropriately awful.
	12:43pm Webhamster Henry: Reminder: you can clicky-star any WFMU show for future quick reference!
	12:44pm Feldy: ↳ Song: "Dough Boy Boogie" by "Chef Joseph And The A.M. Ca... Reverend Horton Heat could make this song a jam
	12:44pm Miss Mei: I am so glad my laptop is behaving. Before the show started it was slow, I wasn't able to type too well, and audio was cutting in and out.
	12:45pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Dough Boy Boogie" by "Chef Joseph And The A.M. Ca... I wanted to not repeat artists on this show, but the B-side, "Party Up, Chef" is also really good
	12:45pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Cool Cool Heart" by "Terry Pelton" This was recorded in a kitchen by the way.
	12:46pm Mr Fab: ↳ Feldy @12:39 That'd be cool! I have no idea what's been sent to the new LCD, so i'd say go for it.
	12:46pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Cool Cool Heart" by "Terry Pelton" Friends have told me this song has Ween vibes. I've never really listened to Ween.
	12:48pm Feldy: ↳ Mr Fab @12:46 Okay cool! I'm gonna do it :)
	12:50pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "La Naranja" by "Pimpollin" Peculiar Mexican Christian children's tune by friend of the show, the clown pimpollin
	12:53pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Rats In My Room" by "Leona Anderson" Ahh, an Incorrect Music classic!
	12:53pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Rats In My Room" by "Leona Anderson" I remember reading a story on Youtube about how someone's grandma had this played at her funeral. The mounrers went from crying, to going quiet, to laughing.
	12:53pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Miss Mei @12:53 Ha! I wonder what the story was behind that.
	12:54pm Miss Mei: ↳ Kat in the chat @12:53 Must've been a cool grandma.
	12:55pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Satisfaction" by "Sam Chalpin" The 80s had The 2 Coreys. The 60s had The 2 Sams: Sam Chalpin and Sam Sacks (who comes up next)
	12:57pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Yodel Blues" by "Sam Sacks" It really is the best yodeling I've ever heard
	12:57pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Little Miss (Excerpt)" by "Unknown" Sadly we don't have the full song. I found this on eBay. It's from a mysterious acetate. Acetate sellers on eBay who include audio clips, NEVER include the full songs. So we only have a little of this weirdness.
	12:58pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Little Miss (Excerpt)" by "Unknown" When I first found this, I immediately sent it to Darryl, who made an edit to extend it and have it fade out naturally rather than the sharp cut we will soon hear.
	12:59pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "Virgin Child Of The Universe (W. Carrie & Bonnie ... Hoo boy. I don't remember hearing this one before!
	1:00pm Miss Mei: ↳ Kat in the chat @12:59 Oh this is a classic! Wish we knew who the vocalist was for this song poem.
	1:00pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Virgin Child Of The Universe (W. Carrie & Bonnie ... I love playing this song for people and seeing their reactions to the lyrics.
	1:01pm Kat in the chat: ↳ Miss Mei @1:00 Yes, she deserves credit!
	1:01pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Far From My Country" by "Lauré Anne Truchon" Oh how I love this song. I've tried desparately to connect with people in Maine (where she lives) to help me find her, but no such luck. She released a total of 10 songs on the Ohio label Jewel Records.
	1:02pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Far From My Country" by "Lauré Anne Truchon" Title was misspelled as "Far From My Contry" on the copyright details
	1:08pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "The Backbone of America Is a Mule and Cotton" by ... One of Abner's weird spoken word tracks!
	1:13pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Into Our Band" by "The Mystic Zephyrs 4" This record goes for insane prices.
	1:18pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Rockin' In The USA" by "Unknown" Oh boy, you're all in for a treat with this one.
	1:20pm Feldy: ↳ Song: "Rockin' In The USA" by "Unknown" Really rocks
	1:22pm Kat in the chat: Yes very rockin'
	1:24pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Rockin' In The USA" by "Unknown" I won't lie, that song sounds like what it sounds like when I'm trying to write songs.
	1:29pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Voice of the Rose" by "Bert Lowry with Orchestra ... Portland-Represent!
	1:30pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "What The World Needs Now is Love" by "Hammond Sta... I still think this is the most moving rendition of this song.
	1:35pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "The Kookie Limbo" by "Kookie Joe" DO THE LIMBAH EVERYONE!
	1:36pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "The Kookie Limbo" by "Kookie Joe" This weird song actually came with limbo sets in the 1960s.
	1:54pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Wipe The Tears From Your Eyes" by "Johnny Lane" it's the Casio Elvis
	1:55pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @1:54 Eilart Pilarm has some competition!
	👻 1:56pm WR: Hi Miss Mei. I had a doctor appointment at 12:30 so have not been listening until a little while ago, when I arrived home. I saw that photo of Darryl's books, with the different editions and translations on his FB. I have each of his book (1 each, not every edition) except The Infamous Cherry Sisters. The only copy I've found of that they want a somewhat inflated price.
	1:58pm Feldy: Darryl would've loved today's show, Miss Mei. I did!
	1:58pm Miss Mei: ↳ WR @1:56 I wish i could say I owned one of his books. Being disabled and broke means I don't get to buy cool things that often anymore
	1:59pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Let's Dance" by "Lloyd Marshall" DAEENCE DAEEENCE OH DAEEENCE DAEENCE
	2:03pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "My Wig Changing Mini Skirted Mama" by "Russ Thomp... What a voice on this guy, huh?
	2:05pm Rich in Washington: Russ Thompson sounds a bit like Killdozer's Mike Gerard
	👻 2:15pm Herbie: Ooops slept in. Mornin!
	2:16pm Miss Mei: ↳ Herbie @2:15 Hey! Today's show might be a minute or two over time, just a warning!
	👻 2:16pm WR: ↳ Song: "The Kookie Limbo" by "Kookie Joe" My family had a limbo kit that came with the Kookie Joe record. I think the record is long gone but it did last longer than the kit did.
	2:17pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Nums (On The Boardwalk)" by "Zoom Enterprises" Num's Bar & Cafe was a bar that was located on the Long Branch boardwalk
	2:18pm Kat in the chat: Obvs I thought this was "Nuns On The Boardwalk" till I looked at the playlist
	👻 2:19pm Herbie: ↳ Miss Mei @2:16 Ok no prob. Just give me a heads up in the chat when it's the last song.
	2:19pm Miss Mei: ↳ Herbie @2:19 Yeah sure!
	2:20pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "I'm Just a Little Baby" by "Norman Temple" Been waiting several years to hear this, but thank goodness, someone shared some of Norman's previously lost 45s on Youtube recently!
	2:20pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "I'm Just a Little Baby" by "Norman Temple" Norman marketed himself as a "bad" musician. The liner notes on his 45s are hilarious.
	2:21pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "I'm Just a Little Baby" by "Norman Temple" During his song-poem days, Temple had Jimmy Drake, AKA Nervous Norvus, do a rendition of his song "I Hate Bugs". As a result, people think that this is a Nervous Norvus original.
	2:21pm Feldy: I'm glad my math was off and there's another hour
	2:22pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Paper Roses" by "The Lee's" I am regretting playing this one already.
	👻 2:23pm WR: ↳ Miss Mei @2:22 ah, it is a perfect world worst records record.
	2:24pm Rich in Washington: Little kids singing adult songs = Bad music gold.
	2:24pm Miss Mei: ↳ WR @2:23 The Lee's record is quite a mixed bag. It's got three or four tracks I enjoy. This isn't one of them.
	2:25pm Miss Mei: ↳ Rich in Washington @2:24 For sure. I have a weird version of a 6 year old singing The Beatles "When I'm 64" from a school talent show.
	2:26pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Miss Mei @2:25 wonder if that kid's 64 yet.
	2:26pm Miss Mei: ↳ Rich in Washington @2:26 It was from the late 90s, so she's probably in her early-mid 30s now.
	2:27pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Wipe Out" by "The Shaggs" The previously unreleased Shaggs instrumental that people accused of being fake when I shared it to Youtube!
	2:28pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Miss Mei @2:27 Wow! This is a good reason to buy this reissue!
	2:28pm Mr Fab: ↳ Miss Mei @2:27 Whaa?! Where did this come from?
	2:28pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Wipe Out" by "The Shaggs" Best drum solo known to man. You can't get better than this, folks.
	2:28pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @2:28 Was on a fairly recent reissue of one of their albums.
	2:29pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @2:28 Just checked, this is a Shagg's Own Thing reissue bonus track.
	2:30pm Rich in Washington: Oh. It's only on the Bandcamp reissue. Not on CD or the vinyl reissue.
	2:30pm Mr Fab: ↳ Miss Mei @2:29 Wow, had no idea.
	2:32pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "God's in the Chips" by "Rich Ristagno" Give me echo and drum machine and I'm a happy camper. This is a cool LP.
	2:33pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Little Red book" by "Gary" Dig the album art: www.discogs.com...
	2:34pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "Little Red book" by "Gary" Interesting pitch choices here....
	2:35pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "There's No One Like Her" by "Rick Stone" Last 5 songs (got a couple longer oddities at the tail end of the show)
	2:39pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Rockin' Revolution" by "Corey Feldman" The newest song on the playlist, released on vinyl in 2021.
	2:45pm Rich in Washington: I think the stream conked out
	2:46pm grantbob: I thought it was just a dramatic pause.
	2:48pm Rich in Washington: back now, I think.
	2:48pm Miss Mei: Sorry, everyone! My laptop has poor internet connection these days and sometimes I need to use my cell phone's hotspot to get wi-fi on it. My phone died and i couldn't connect to my regular wi-fi. it's back now.
	👻 2:48pm WR: ↳ Rich in Washington @2:45 The ongoing war of the bandwidth.
	2:49pm Miss Mei: A disabled laptop for a disabled person, it's rather fitting for me. My laptop and I need matching canes.
	👻 2:52pm WR: ↳ Miss Mei @2:48 A lot of scrambling you did in a short time.
	2:54pm Miss Mei: ↳ WR @2:52 Yep, had to go get a charger, plug the phone back in, and so fourth. My laptop isn't even that old but due to my Ehlers Danlos I have weak muscles and am very prone to falling, dropping things and banging into things. My laptop has hit the ground on numerous occasions.
	2:55pm Mr Fab: is it me is the volume level low? Have my speakers cranked. Of course, hearing this at lower volume levels might be better for our sanity, haha.
	2:56pm Miss Mei: ↳ Mr Fab @2:55 The volume is fine on my end.
	2:57pm Miss Mei: ↳ Song: "Pocket Book / Food Now Now" by "Frederick Thomas" We are on the last song, by the way! Sorry for cutting out, there's sadly not much I can do about it.
	2:57pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "Pocket Book / Food Now Now" by "Frederick Thomas" This is freaking amazing! Love the amazing mismatch between the rhythm section and the guitar. Absolutely bottom-drawer, as I used to say on Darryl's show.
	2:59pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Miss Mei @2:57 Don't sweat it too much. The show's fantastic. I similarly had internet issues at my old place. You're soldiering on admirably.
	2:59pm Miss Mei: ↳ Rich in Washington @2:57 I found this record in the summer last year and it's been played like three or four times already. I can't get enough!
	3:00pm Miss Mei: Thanks for coming out today, everyone
	3:00pm grantbob: Thanks for making it happen!
	3:01pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Miss Mei @2:59 Well, now it's on my Discogs wantlist - a fitting tribute to WWRS, as that program was singlehandedly responsible for growing my wantlist to the point where I will never catch up.
	👻 3:01pm WR: thank you!
	3:01pm Rich in Washington: thanks so much, Miss Mei!
	👻 3:01pm Herbie: Thanks Missy!
	3:01pm Mr Fab: Hey, it's over! Much thanks, Miss Mei - like I used to tell Darryl, this was the best worst.
	3:02pm Miss Mei: I've discovered some interesting records while looking for some material for today's show - you'll hear some more weird things next week!
