	🎸 ♥ 9:21pm Austin Rich: I think that one thug is Mr. Frees.
	9:21pm Mr Fab: Hey all you hard-boiled private listeners.
	9:21pm Imaginos: I keep getting sleepy
	🎸 ♥ 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:21 Mr. Fab! The Digital Salon is always better when you're in the house.
	🎸 ♥ 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:21 I understand. I always appreciate when you can tune in.
	🎸 ♥ 9:23pm Maulydaft: I love Otis in this one! :D :D :D
	🎸 ♥ 9:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @9:23 He's almost CHARMINGLY dim. It's a fine line to walk.
	🎸 ♥ 9:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @9:23 And: thanks for joining us, Maulydaft! It's nice to have a celebrity in the Digital Salon!
	🎸 ♥ 9:24pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @9:21 Sounds Freesy to me.
	🎸 ♥ 9:27pm Austin Rich: He shouldn't have slapped her around. He's gonna pay for that.
	9:29pm asheville jon: Ah yes, the good old " you won't take me copper" gambit. Well played
	9:29pm Mr Fab: “he’s pretty dead” ha!
	🎸 ♥ 9:29pm Austin Rich: Helen was in the closet? Subtext?
	9:29pm Daybreak!: They always say that to the coppers, but the coppers always get them. They should start shouting, You're probably gonna take me copper but maybe I'll take you with me! That might at least give the coppers some pause.
	9:30pm red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: Cheers to all in the Digital Salon 📻✨🛋️
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm Webhamster Henry: What's the song cue?
	9:30pm asheville jon: Oh geez, the singing. the singing. I just can't get past that.
	🎸 ♥ 9:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ asheville jon @9:30 It was what Dick Powell was known for before he was acting.
	🎸 ♥ 9:31pm Maulydaft: ↳ asheville jon @9:30 :D I eventually got use to it :D
	9:32pm Daybreak!: We should probably bring the term "necking" back. In my life I believe I've heard "making out" "hooking up" Other jokey derivations such as "suck face" in the 80s. Which other more modern variations am I missing? Or even some in between?
	🎸 ♥ 9:32pm Austin Rich: "I was just falling in love with myself." That sort of sums up Richard in a lot of ways.
	🎸 ♥ 9:33pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @9:31 Go watch Footlights Parade and Golddiggers of '33
	🎸 ♥ 9:34pm David The Splatter: Did he say Paul Frees? The same guy who did Boris in Rocky & Bullwinkle. I missed that in previous shows, apologies.
	9:34pm Mr Fab: Written by THE Blake Edwards?!
	🎸 ♥ 9:34pm Maulydaft: ↳ Mr Fab @9:34 YES!! It's so cool :)
	🎸 ♥ 9:34pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Mr Fab @9:34 He wrote a few of these Diamonds...
	🎸 ♥ 9:34pm Maulydaft: ↳ David The Splatter @9:34 YES indeed!!!!
	🎸 ♥ 9:35pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ David The Splatter @9:34 Frees is a lot more prevalent in Rocky Jordan, playing a villain of the week usually.
	🎸 ♥ 9:36pm Webhamster Henry: Here's Dick Powell's Wikipedia : en.wikipedia.org...
	🎸 ♥ 9:38pm David The Splatter: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:35 Cool. Skimming Frees' Wiki page right now.
	🎸 ♥ 9:40pm David The Splatter: Oh, crap! Feed just switched to Auto.
	🎸 ♥ 9:41pm Maulydaft: oh dang... but at least it's WEIRD
	🎸 ♥ 9:41pm Webhamster Henry: Stream Huccup! Yes Irwin produced that collection, he generously sent me a copy.
	🎸 ♥ 9:42pm Asheville Jon: ↳ Austin Rich @9:31 oh i know, i remember you eggsplaining it, it's just soooo corny
	9:46pm asheville jon: streaming glitch? my whole wifi went down
	🎸 ♥ 9:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ Asheville Jon @9:42 It happens... Sometimes you gotta take the corn with the gold.
	🎸 ♥ 9:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ asheville jon @9:46 Yikes! I hate when that happens. Usually when I have connection issues, it's because COM-CRASH looses connection to our house, and everything "hiccups." For some reason, the connection to Sheena is so sensitive that it seems to drop. But I never have trouble watching MST3K when I put that on. Sigh...
	🎸 ♥ 9:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @9:41 So long as it was surreal, then... it was on purpose! Yeah, that's it!
	🎸 ♥ 9:49pm Austin Rich: Here's the Sun Ra boxed set - on vinyl - that I was talking about. It's a pretty excellent set... www.discogs.com...
	🎸 ♥ 9:51pm Austin Rich: "She's as dead as the air in your closets." Apparently, closets are a theme tonight.
	9:51pm Mr Fab: In these shows, they are always playing card games like canasta and gin rummy. Does anyone play those anymore? I certainly have no idea how to play those.
	9:52pm Mr Fab: In these shows, they are always playing card games like canasta and gin rummy. Does anyone play those anymore? I certainly have no idea how to play those.
	🎸 ♥ 9:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:51 I used to know Gin, and played it sometimes with a few friends, in my early 20s. But I have never met anyone who knows how to play Canasta. Anyone?
	🎸 ♥ 9:53pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Mr Fab @9:51 My grandfather had a regular pinochle game, but that was 50 years ago .
	🎸 ♥ 9:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:51 Apparently it is in the "rummy" family of games: en.wikipedia.org...
	🎸 ♥ 9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:53 I have never met anyone who plays that one, either.
	🎸 ♥ 9:55pm Austin Rich: We have prizes to give away! Who wants to make a donation and take away some new LPs? Or maybe you're feeling generous? Sun Ra, generous?
	🎸 ♥ 9:55pm David The Splatter: Yep, that sounds like Paul Frees.
	🎸 ♥ 9:58pm David The Splatter: I'll have to finish in the morning. Getting up at 5am sucks! Catch you all later. Good luck, Austin... and PLEDGE!!!
	🎸 ♥ 9:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ David The Splatter @9:58 Thanks David! Yeah, five is VERY early! Sleep well.
	🎸 ♥ 10:00pm David Shortell: ↳ David The Splatter @9:38 Besides his vast body of acting work he wrote the movie "The Beatniks", made famous by Mystery Science Theater 3000.
	🎸 ♥ 10:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:00 Lovely to see you in the Digital Salon, David! We should thank you for your regular work, finding links to the print stories our X-Minus One features are based on! It's nice to find another 50's Sci-Fi nerd.
	🎸 ♥ 10:03pm Austin Rich: Hmmmmm. There were "Helens" in both of stories tonight, too. Hmmmm...
	🎸 ♥ 10:06pm Austin Rich: We have a final Prize Premium to mention: a copy of the book, "Under the Big Black Sun" by John Doe. Not only a biography, but the story of LA punk, from his (and other) perspectives. Guest chapters written by many of his friends, this book is excellent! It's one I've been meaning to buy... you can have it by making a donation of $20 or more to WFMU! en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 10:08pm univac: Hello, all! Been listening while cleaning the studio. Great show Austin!
	🎸 ♥ 10:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @10:08 univac! Always a delight to see you in the Digital Salon.
	🎸 ♥ 10:10pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:06 Oo do last week's donations carry over to this week?? We're tuned in from Rochester NY! Enjoying the show as always!!
	♥ 10:10pm univac: ↳ Austin Rich @9:52 I used to play Canasta all the time when I was a kid while camping. I don't remember how to play anymore.
	🎸 ♥ 10:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:10 Thanks for tuning in, Heather. The donations made last week always help. But we have new prizes and premiums for this week!
	🎸 ♥ 10:11pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @10:10 Oh, interesting! Do you think any family members remember?
	🎸 ♥ 10:11pm Webhamster Henry: The old cop in the closet trick!
	🎸 ♥ 10:11pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:10 Ah rats. That sounds like a goodie, though!
	♥ 10:12pm univac: Hey Heather!
	🎸 ♥ 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:11 I can't remember how much you donated last week, but if you cumulatively donate enough to be elligible for a prize - and you haven't gotten one yet - then you can totally still get one.
	♥ 10:12pm univac: ↳ Austin Rich @10:11 There is this thing called the internet that I might be able to use to help me remember how to play...
	🎸 ♥ 10:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @10:12 Ahhh, of course! I used to play a lot more cards when I was younger. Not so much these days.
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm Heather Z: ↳ univac @10:12 Hi univac!
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:12 I sent over 25 last week so I get to get a sticker! I love stickers!
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:12 Looks like you didn't get one last week, so if you wanted to boost your donation so it is over $20, you could get a record or book! Or over $75, to get the set!
	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:06 The X perspective tells how suburban jocks ruined the scene, diminishing female attendance at shows.
	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm Austin Rich: In 1949, how many cities how TV, I wonder?
	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:14 If no one else has dibs on the John Doe book, I'd really love to have that!
	🎸 ♥ 10:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:15 Didn't Watt write something about that in his chapter, too?
	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm Heather Z: I did 25 last Monday before Dime Store! Yay!!!
	🎸 ♥ 10:22pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:16 I know he did in the oral history “We Got the Neutron Bomb: The Untold Story of LA Punk”.
	🎸 ♥ 10:22pm Heather Z: Whooooo!! I love Sheenas so much that I simply love to support the station but, as you announce I'm getting the book, Alan said, "oh. I want to read that!" I know he does and so do I!
	🎸 ♥ 10:29pm Tim in TN: Hi, Coming out of lurkerdom to ask if the Man Man Lp is still available?
	🎸 ♥ 10:29pm Maulydaft: Congrats on your radio anniversary Austin!
	🎸 ♥ 10:30pm Tim in TN: Thank you. Pledge on the way.
	🎸 ♥ 10:31pm Heather Z: ↳ Maulydaft @10:29 I second this! Huge congratulations!!
	♥ 10:31pm univac: Happy Birthday (coming up) Austin!
	♥ 10:32pm univac: And, your radio anniversary! To many many more!
	🎸 ♥ 10:32pm Arvo Zylo: hi
	♥ 10:32pm univac: Hello Arvo!
	🎸 ♥ 10:32pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: ""Soldier Boy"" by "X-Minus One" archive.org...
	🎸 ♥ 10:33pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo Zylo @10:32 Hi Arvo!
	🎸 ♥ 10:34pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: ""Soldier Boy"" by "X-Minus One" I looked up this author: Michael Shaara. The two movies made from his novels were the 4-hour “Gettysburg” (1993) and Sam Raimi’s “For Love of the Game” (1999).
	🎸 ♥ 10:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo Zylo @10:32 Mr. Zylo! I hope you heard the shout-out that JM in Texas made to you!
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm Tim in TN: Hi Austin Rich. My pledge should have found its way there.
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Tim in TN @10:35 Tim! Thank you so much. That Man Man record is yours!
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:34 Oh, interesting. What a strange career...
	🎸 ♥ 10:37pm Tim in TN: Thank you Sir! Thank you for all your work on these shows. I love 'em!
	🎸 ♥ 10:38pm Austin Rich: "Try and stay sober."
	🎸 ♥ 10:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @10:32 Thank you, mr. vac!
	🎸 ♥ 10:39pm Maulydaft: Another X Minus One I haven't heard?? Thanks Austin!!!
	🎸 ♥ 10:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:39 That's the joy of listening in order. You find a few that you missed other times. I feel like I hear a Phillip Marlowe show that I missed the last time I listened, each time I got through again.
	🎸 ♥ 10:43pm Austin Rich: Last push, everyone! There's still time to get The Melvins or Lightning Bolt on LP, or to get a Sun Ra 3 LP Set! Donate today!
	10:44pm Mr Fab: Come on folks, Sun Ra came all the way from Saturn to give you his music. 75 bucks isn’t asking much if you consider that!
	🎸 ♥ 10:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:44 I really wish I could take it! $75 for that set is a steal!
	🎸 ♥ 10:46pm Austin Rich: I'd love to add a few more dollars to that total I send to Mr. Fab in 15 minutes. Every little bit helps!
	🎸 ♥ 10:47pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @10:41 Also the source of your downloads. I keep thinking I get them all off of archive.org but then every once in a while I'll hear an episode I've never heard before, played on your show. is that where you get yours?
	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:47 I used archive, but I then google a few "Episode Logs," and check those against what I find on archive. Usually archive comes up short, so I have to google around to find the other installments. In the case of "Rogues Gallery," I kept getting it wrong, as I would find a show that was named one thing but was a repeat of something else. That might be the worst documented show I've run so far. I think I got them all, but... who knows?
	🎸 ♥ 10:51pm Maulydaft: That's dedication!!!
	🎸 ♥ 10:51pm Webhamster Henry: I heard a Mr. Aladdin (yeah, Frees again) on Archive.org, mislabeled in a big collection there.
	🎸 ♥ 10:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:51 It seems like worth-while work. Some of these shows deserve to be better preserved and documented.
	🎸 ♥ 10:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:51 There's so much bad metadata on old radio shows. It takes a lot of work to try and get the right titles and airdates.
	🎸 ♥ 10:53pm Austin Rich: We raised $130 tonight! Thanks everyone! That's very cool!
	🎸 ♥ 10:54pm Maulydaft: Mostly unrelated note: The Grass Roots Radio conference this year is in Spokane! Dates in fall I believe...
	🎸 ♥ 10:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:54 Oh, damn. I could even theoretically make it to that. It would be a long drive...
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @10:54 Amtrak has lots of problems... is there a train? Trains needs more funding... not for the next for years that's for sure... sigh
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm Austin Rich: Lots of great library music cues in this episode.
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:56 Oh, I probably could take a train. I wonder if I could rent a bike easily? I've never been to Spokane, so I'm not sure how hard it is to get around.
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm Austin Rich: Thanks again, everyone! See ya next week... St. Patrick's Day!
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm Webhamster Henry: These guys are such evil colonists.
	♥ 11:01pm univac: Thanks Austin! And nice to see you all in the chat. Until next time!
	🎸 ♥ 11:02pm Webhamster Henry: till Next week!

	🎸 ♥ 9:32pm Austin Rich: "I was just falling in love with myself." That sort of sums up Richard in a lot of ways.
	🎸 ♥ 9:33pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @9:31 Go watch Footlights Parade and Golddiggers of '33
	🎸 ♥ 9:34pm David The Splatter: Did he say Paul Frees? The same guy who did Boris in Rocky & Bullwinkle. I missed that in previous shows, apologies.
	9:34pm Mr Fab: Written by THE Blake Edwards?!
	🎸 ♥ 9:34pm Maulydaft: ↳ Mr Fab @9:34 YES!! It's so cool :)
	🎸 ♥ 9:34pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Mr Fab @9:34 He wrote a few of these Diamonds...
	🎸 ♥ 9:34pm Maulydaft: ↳ David The Splatter @9:34 YES indeed!!!!
	🎸 ♥ 9:35pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ David The Splatter @9:34 Frees is a lot more prevalent in Rocky Jordan, playing a villain of the week usually.
	🎸 ♥ 9:36pm Webhamster Henry: Here's Dick Powell's Wikipedia : en.wikipedia.org...
	🎸 ♥ 9:38pm David The Splatter: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:35 Cool. Skimming Frees' Wiki page right now.
	🎸 ♥ 9:40pm David The Splatter: Oh, crap! Feed just switched to Auto.
	🎸 ♥ 9:41pm Maulydaft: oh dang... but at least it's WEIRD
	🎸 ♥ 9:41pm Webhamster Henry: Stream Huccup! Yes Irwin produced that collection, he generously sent me a copy.
	🎸 ♥ 9:42pm Asheville Jon: ↳ Austin Rich @9:31 oh i know, i remember you eggsplaining it, it's just soooo corny
	9:46pm asheville jon: streaming glitch? my whole wifi went down
	🎸 ♥ 9:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ Asheville Jon @9:42 It happens... Sometimes you gotta take the corn with the gold.
	🎸 ♥ 9:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ asheville jon @9:46 Yikes! I hate when that happens. Usually when I have connection issues, it's because COM-CRASH looses connection to our house, and everything "hiccups." For some reason, the connection to Sheena is so sensitive that it seems to drop. But I never have trouble watching MST3K when I put that on. Sigh...
	🎸 ♥ 9:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @9:41 So long as it was surreal, then... it was on purpose! Yeah, that's it!
	🎸 ♥ 9:49pm Austin Rich: Here's the Sun Ra boxed set - on vinyl - that I was talking about. It's a pretty excellent set... www.discogs.com...
	🎸 ♥ 9:51pm Austin Rich: "She's as dead as the air in your closets." Apparently, closets are a theme tonight.
	9:51pm Mr Fab: In these shows, they are always playing card games like canasta and gin rummy. Does anyone play those anymore? I certainly have no idea how to play those.
	9:52pm Mr Fab: In these shows, they are always playing card games like canasta and gin rummy. Does anyone play those anymore? I certainly have no idea how to play those.
	🎸 ♥ 9:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:51 I used to know Gin, and played it sometimes with a few friends, in my early 20s. But I have never met anyone who knows how to play Canasta. Anyone?
	🎸 ♥ 9:53pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Mr Fab @9:51 My grandfather had a regular pinochle game, but that was 50 years ago .
	🎸 ♥ 9:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:51 Apparently it is in the "rummy" family of games: en.wikipedia.org...
	🎸 ♥ 9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:53 I have never met anyone who plays that one, either.
	🎸 ♥ 9:55pm Austin Rich: We have prizes to give away! Who wants to make a donation and take away some new LPs? Or maybe you're feeling generous? Sun Ra, generous?
	🎸 ♥ 9:55pm David The Splatter: Yep, that sounds like Paul Frees.
	🎸 ♥ 9:58pm David The Splatter: I'll have to finish in the morning. Getting up at 5am sucks! Catch you all later. Good luck, Austin... and PLEDGE!!!
	🎸 ♥ 9:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ David The Splatter @9:58 Thanks David! Yeah, five is VERY early! Sleep well.
	🎸 ♥ 10:00pm David Shortell: ↳ David The Splatter @9:38 Besides his vast body of acting work he wrote the movie "The Beatniks", made famous by Mystery Science Theater 3000.
	🎸 ♥ 10:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:00 Lovely to see you in the Digital Salon, David! We should thank you for your regular work, finding links to the print stories our X-Minus One features are based on! It's nice to find another 50's Sci-Fi nerd.
	🎸 ♥ 10:03pm Austin Rich: Hmmmmm. There were "Helens" in both of stories tonight, too. Hmmmm...
	🎸 ♥ 10:06pm Austin Rich: We have a final Prize Premium to mention: a copy of the book, "Under the Big Black Sun" by John Doe. Not only a biography, but the story of LA punk, from his (and other) perspectives. Guest chapters written by many of his friends, this book is excellent! It's one I've been meaning to buy... you can have it by making a donation of $20 or more to WFMU! en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 10:08pm univac: Hello, all! Been listening while cleaning the studio. Great show Austin!
	🎸 ♥ 10:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @10:08 univac! Always a delight to see you in the Digital Salon.
	🎸 ♥ 10:10pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:06 Oo do last week's donations carry over to this week?? We're tuned in from Rochester NY! Enjoying the show as always!!
	♥ 10:10pm univac: ↳ Austin Rich @9:52 I used to play Canasta all the time when I was a kid while camping. I don't remember how to play anymore.
	🎸 ♥ 10:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:10 Thanks for tuning in, Heather. The donations made last week always help. But we have new prizes and premiums for this week!
	🎸 ♥ 10:11pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @10:10 Oh, interesting! Do you think any family members remember?
	🎸 ♥ 10:11pm Webhamster Henry: The old cop in the closet trick!
	🎸 ♥ 10:11pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:10 Ah rats. That sounds like a goodie, though!
	♥ 10:12pm univac: Hey Heather!
	🎸 ♥ 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:11 I can't remember how much you donated last week, but if you cumulatively donate enough to be elligible for a prize - and you haven't gotten one yet - then you can totally still get one.
	♥ 10:12pm univac: ↳ Austin Rich @10:11 There is this thing called the internet that I might be able to use to help me remember how to play...
	🎸 ♥ 10:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @10:12 Ahhh, of course! I used to play a lot more cards when I was younger. Not so much these days.
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm Heather Z: ↳ univac @10:12 Hi univac!
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:12 I sent over 25 last week so I get to get a sticker! I love stickers!
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:12 Looks like you didn't get one last week, so if you wanted to boost your donation so it is over $20, you could get a record or book! Or over $75, to get the set!
	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:06 The X perspective tells how suburban jocks ruined the scene, diminishing female attendance at shows.
	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm Austin Rich: In 1949, how many cities how TV, I wonder?
	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:14 If no one else has dibs on the John Doe book, I'd really love to have that!
	🎸 ♥ 10:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:15 Didn't Watt write something about that in his chapter, too?
	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm Heather Z: I did 25 last Monday before Dime Store! Yay!!!
	🎸 ♥ 10:22pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:16 I know he did in the oral history “We Got the Neutron Bomb: The Untold Story of LA Punk”.
	🎸 ♥ 10:22pm Heather Z: Whooooo!! I love Sheenas so much that I simply love to support the station but, as you announce I'm getting the book, Alan said, "oh. I want to read that!" I know he does and so do I!
	🎸 ♥ 10:29pm Tim in TN: Hi, Coming out of lurkerdom to ask if the Man Man Lp is still available?
	🎸 ♥ 10:29pm Maulydaft: Congrats on your radio anniversary Austin!
	🎸 ♥ 10:30pm Tim in TN: Thank you. Pledge on the way.
	🎸 ♥ 10:31pm Heather Z: ↳ Maulydaft @10:29 I second this! Huge congratulations!!
	♥ 10:31pm univac: Happy Birthday (coming up) Austin!
	♥ 10:32pm univac: And, your radio anniversary! To many many more!
	🎸 ♥ 10:32pm Arvo Zylo: hi
	♥ 10:32pm univac: Hello Arvo!
	🎸 ♥ 10:32pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: ""Soldier Boy"" by "X-Minus One" archive.org...
	🎸 ♥ 10:33pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo Zylo @10:32 Hi Arvo!
	🎸 ♥ 10:34pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: ""Soldier Boy"" by "X-Minus One" I looked up this author: Michael Shaara. The two movies made from his novels were the 4-hour “Gettysburg” (1993) and Sam Raimi’s “For Love of the Game” (1999).
	🎸 ♥ 10:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo Zylo @10:32 Mr. Zylo! I hope you heard the shout-out that JM in Texas made to you!
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm Tim in TN: Hi Austin Rich. My pledge should have found its way there.
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Tim in TN @10:35 Tim! Thank you so much. That Man Man record is yours!
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:34 Oh, interesting. What a strange career...
	🎸 ♥ 10:37pm Tim in TN: Thank you Sir! Thank you for all your work on these shows. I love 'em!
	🎸 ♥ 10:38pm Austin Rich: "Try and stay sober."
	🎸 ♥ 10:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @10:32 Thank you, mr. vac!
	🎸 ♥ 10:39pm Maulydaft: Another X Minus One I haven't heard?? Thanks Austin!!!
	🎸 ♥ 10:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:39 That's the joy of listening in order. You find a few that you missed other times. I feel like I hear a Phillip Marlowe show that I missed the last time I listened, each time I got through again.
	🎸 ♥ 10:43pm Austin Rich: Last push, everyone! There's still time to get The Melvins or Lightning Bolt on LP, or to get a Sun Ra 3 LP Set! Donate today!
	10:44pm Mr Fab: Come on folks, Sun Ra came all the way from Saturn to give you his music. 75 bucks isn’t asking much if you consider that!
	🎸 ♥ 10:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:44 I really wish I could take it! $75 for that set is a steal!
	🎸 ♥ 10:46pm Austin Rich: I'd love to add a few more dollars to that total I send to Mr. Fab in 15 minutes. Every little bit helps!
	🎸 ♥ 10:47pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @10:41 Also the source of your downloads. I keep thinking I get them all off of archive.org but then every once in a while I'll hear an episode I've never heard before, played on your show. is that where you get yours?
	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:47 I used archive, but I then google a few "Episode Logs," and check those against what I find on archive. Usually archive comes up short, so I have to google around to find the other installments. In the case of "Rogues Gallery," I kept getting it wrong, as I would find a show that was named one thing but was a repeat of something else. That might be the worst documented show I've run so far. I think I got them all, but... who knows?
	🎸 ♥ 10:51pm Maulydaft: That's dedication!!!
	🎸 ♥ 10:51pm Webhamster Henry: I heard a Mr. Aladdin (yeah, Frees again) on Archive.org, mislabeled in a big collection there.
	🎸 ♥ 10:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:51 It seems like worth-while work. Some of these shows deserve to be better preserved and documented.
	🎸 ♥ 10:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:51 There's so much bad metadata on old radio shows. It takes a lot of work to try and get the right titles and airdates.
	🎸 ♥ 10:53pm Austin Rich: We raised $130 tonight! Thanks everyone! That's very cool!
	🎸 ♥ 10:54pm Maulydaft: Mostly unrelated note: The Grass Roots Radio conference this year is in Spokane! Dates in fall I believe...
	🎸 ♥ 10:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:54 Oh, damn. I could even theoretically make it to that. It would be a long drive...
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @10:54 Amtrak has lots of problems... is there a train? Trains needs more funding... not for the next for years that's for sure... sigh
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm Austin Rich: Lots of great library music cues in this episode.
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:56 Oh, I probably could take a train. I wonder if I could rent a bike easily? I've never been to Spokane, so I'm not sure how hard it is to get around.
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm Austin Rich: Thanks again, everyone! See ya next week... St. Patrick's Day!
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm Webhamster Henry: These guys are such evil colonists.
	♥ 11:01pm univac: Thanks Austin! And nice to see you all in the chat. Until next time!
	🎸 ♥ 11:02pm Webhamster Henry: till Next week!
