Listener comments!
	7:58pm ironybread: In the land of All-At-Onceness, this listener wouldn't be at all offended if you played both sides of "The Media Is the Massage"
	8:00pm ultradamno: Rich! Diggocrates!
	8:00pm Feldy: Rich! Hope your coffee's done
	8:01pm Kat in Chicago: Normal broadcasting? Don't frickin count on it.
	8:01pm ironybread: "Run the roller! Run the roller!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
	8:01pm chresti: Hi crepebuilders! Hi Rich!
	8:02pm Rich in Washington: Oh wow. Was ACTUALLY having technical difficulties! My playlist editor went blank on me. HI EVERYONE!
	8:02pm Feldy: That CBS Special tune is burned in my brain
	8:03pm spodiodi: greetings, Rich! greetings, all!
	8:03pm Feldy: Yeah, THAT one
	8:04pm StringOFperils: Hey what's wrong with my radio?
	8:04pm Kat in Chicago: Another Rich in Washington INSTANT REQUEST!
	8:05pm Krys O: Hey there!
	8:07pm Rich in Washington: Hi everyone! Up to my armpits in samples n' such! Sorry I'm not here much!
	8:08pm WR: I sometimes have all 4 WFMU streams playing simultaneously.
	8:09pm Kat in Chicago: I can't even deal with two.
	8:12pm Rich in Washington: Thanks for being here, everybody!
	8:14pm Mr Fab: Hey Rich! Looking forward to programming focus-grouped to appeal to valuable demographics!
	8:14pm Aitch: Hey Rich and gang.
	8:15pm Rich in Washington: Everyone gets a totebag for participating in this focus group.
	8:15pm Rich in Washington: Aitch!
	8:15pm Aitch: will there be fluffers?
	8:16pm Rich in Washington: Hi Fab! Hi Kat! Hi Krys O! Hi WR! HI SoP! Hi Feldy! Hi Spodi! Hi chresti! Hi ironybread! Hi ultradamno! Hi everyone!
	8:16pm WR: I don't know what kind of focus group you are thinking of Aitch...
	8:17pm Kat in Chicago: How do you get from totebags to fluffers? Misty Ginger is done for the week haha
	8:17pm Scott67: G'day Rich & Diggings! ☕😎🤙🎶📻🌏
	8:17pm ironybread: I believe the Tubes are great and are headed for enormous success. I think they should do more songs about cocaine. Also Proctor and Bergman should open for them more often. Do I get a free key ring?
	8:18pm ironybread: #InsertHere
	8:18pm Kat in Chicago: Scott! I mentioned beer HOURS ago and you didn't pop up in chat like you usually do.
	8:19pm Rich in Washington: Scott67!
	8:19pm Mr Fab: this is Must-See Radio.
	8:22pm ironybread: Here's the evidence, folks - I wish I had one of these dyn1.heritagestatic.com...
	8:22pm Aitch: Apologies, I thought the focus group was about the Tubes, that gets fluffers.
	8:22pm ultradamno: With 12 screens to pick from, it's a lighthearted romp!
	8:23pm Rich in Washington: Dang. I plum forgot about that. Funny coinkidink, huh?
	8:23pm Aitch: But you have to pay a Fee
	8:23pm Kat in Chicago: Nice flyer there, irony
	8:24pm Mr Fab: Jack Webb had a living room tv set-up like the pic on top, so he could watch "Dragnet" along with the competition.
	8:24pm ultradamno: The Tubes are how I first saw BDSM gear, at too young an age. Thanks, Fee!
	8:25pm Rich in Washington: Yeah, somewhere I saw a pic of Webb's wall of TV. Not sure where.
	8:26pm Scott67: Kat, that's cos I was sleeping off last nights beer mate. ☕😎🤙🍻
	8:26pm Aitch: Friend at school was a mad Tubes fan. Moved to the states and now writes books about Hollywood types. I need to drag him to the Jungle Room
	8:26pm Kat in Chicago: You're excused, Scott :)
	8:27pm Mr Fab: TV seems so innocent now compared to the internet. Passive consumerism ain't a bad deal compared to all the horrors that the 'net unleashed.
	8:28pm Aitch: My kids disengage as soon as they hear a laugh-track
	8:28pm ironybread: #WhatToDoUntilMcluhanComes
	8:28pm Rich in Washington: yeah that's what I was thinking too, Fab. Kind of irrelevant today, compared to say 2000 or so.
	8:28pm ultradamno: I wonder if they were influential in Westwood getting bondage pants into punk fashion....until US hardcores came along, anyhow.
	8:35pm ironybread: It's Magic!!!
	8:37pm ironybread: #DangerousActsOfLove
	8:48pm MHLee: Hi Rich
	8:48pm Rich in Washington: Hi MHLee!
	8:49pm spodiodi: love the Galaga-esque dive-bomb noises
	8:50pm Aitch: A friend had a project called Celebrity Drug Disasters, track The Television Will Not Be Revolutionised sample ended up as part of a Soothers ad.
	8:51pm Zipperhead7: Hi folks -- this is putting me in the mindframe of Ant Farm's "Media Burn" piece, where they drive a modified cadillac they call a "phantom dream car" into a wall of flaming TVs
	8:53pm Mr Fab: this kind of anti-tv rhetoric always divided everyone into poles: you were either the brain-washed masses, or smart people who proudly declared that they never watched tv, gave their tv away. etc. But plenty could watch TV critically and ironically. that is: listening actively, not just passively.
	8:54pm abbazabba: Hay everyone! I missed Marshall McLuhan damnit. Will check the archives for that definitely
	8:55pm Rich in Washington: Hi abbazabba! Don't worry! There'll be more.
	8:55pm Rich in Washington: Hi Zipperhead7!
	8:55pm abbazabba: Awesome!
	8:56pm ultradamno: It's why HBO had to be not-tv for years. But it was, I tell you, HBO WAS TV!
	8:56pm Rich in Washington: Paul Frees
	8:56pm ultradamno: Cineplexes dumbed down cinema enough that anti-television snobbery seems pretty out of touch these days.
	8:56pm ironybread: Love this Negativland bit...it's on "Live at the Knitting Factory" Vol. 3
	8:58pm Rich in Washington: I couldn't find my Knitting Factory CD!
	8:59pm Don-O: IV of the noggin'
	9:00pm Mr Fab: ultradamno: good point. One could argue that Tv and film have flipped in terms of respectability. TV gives us solid stuff like "Mad Men," "Breaking Bad," etc, while the cinemas are filled with superheroes and kid's films - films for children, or the childish, har har.
	9:00pm MHLee: So I had been kinda half a sleep in another room came back to my PC and anti-television punk was playing took me like five minutes to figure out
	9:00pm Krys O.: My good friend, Val Sebastiano who was a dj on WFMU used to pass off literature from S.E.T., the Society for the Eradication of Television.
	9:02pm ironybread: #ThanksAnywayHeresYourPictureBack
	9:02pm Zipperhead7: McLuhan has had an interesting trajectory. His first book, "The Mechanical Bride," was a critical work influenced by the Frankfurt School. Then he switched to. positive view of media, and was embraced by communication scholars, who traditionally felt pretty marginal. No, he said, they were doing the most important work of all! Then he fell out of favor but he's sexy again because of the Internet. Basically, he would have been a hell of an ad man -- his scholarship was suspect, but he was brilliant at aphorisms.
	9:03pm ironybread: #AndImOnlyReadingIt
	9:05pm Rich in Washington: These kids wantonly violating Robot's Rules of Order... tsk tsk
	9:09pm ultradamno: I think the xxl is the message
	9:11pm ironybread: #ThisIsNotARealTest
	9:15pm Krys O.: Gawd, I loved this P&B album so much. Thanks for playing it, Rich.
	9:18pm Rich in Washington: It's a great one.
	9:18pm Scott67: I like TV. Used discerningly it can be quite nutritious. 🍻😎🤙📺
	9:19pm ultradamno: Remember the guy who famously kicked in his TV because of the Sex Pistols on Bill Grundy? That's putting your money where your mouth is.
	9:20pm Rich in Washington: Funny you should mention that, ultra
	9:20pm Krys O.: I was raised watching Galloping Gourmet, old reruns of 50s sitcoms, PBS, great local NYC programming, and so much more. I'm pro-TV.
	9:20pm ironybread: The baby from the "Remote Control" cover and the baby from Nirvana's "Nevermind" cover should do a podcast together
	9:21pm Don-O: I'm developing a new level of respect for The Tubes!!
	9:21pm Kat in Chicago: Same here.
	9:22pm ultradamno: Is the Nevermind babyman still trying to get paid off for having been sexually exploited, or whatever it was he was claiming?
	9:22pm Krys O.: I was an insomniac since I was a tot and I'd get up in the middle of the night to watch TV. It was hard to find anything that was on in the 60s/early 70s at late hours, but I'd sometimes fall asleep to test patterns.
	9:22pm MHLee: The tubes are weird because they always go from punk to proggy
	9:23pm Aitch: Transformer one of Bowie's best albums I always think
	9:24pm ultradamno: Better than The Idiot?
	9:24pm Don-O: ....from prog to Xanadu to Top 40 then to prog again. That's a lot of living to doing.
	9:25pm Aitch: One of, he's all over this one
	9:25pm Don-O: There's not much TV I can speak from my end as I watched too much Gong Show as it reminded me of Venice Beach.
	9:25pm Don-O: I hear a MST3K reference here!!
	9:25pm WR: oooh, Aitch, buuurnnnn. At a Lincoln Center concert of Ornette Coleman & Laurie Anderson, Lou Reed came on for 1 tune and they did this one. I was puzzle and not pleased.
	9:25pm Krys O.: Let's Make a Deal scarred me a bit.
	9:26pm ultradamno: Beat The Clock, I still have confusing memories of that.
	9:27pm Krys O.: Bowling for Dollars! The Newlywed Game.
	9:27pm Aitch: Kitten played one of his own the other week where he mashed Lou Reed's guitar from I Heard Her Call My Name with an Olivia Newton John Track. Twisted magic ensued.
	9:27pm Don-O: I lusted over Holly from The Price Is Right. Yup, TV has done it's damage on me back then....
	9:28pm Mr Fab: as good as "Warm Leatherette" but doesn't get nearly the love.
	9:28pm Scott67: TRASH CULT is closed today, so you got me for the duration Rich1 Then it may be time to TV O.D.! 📻🎶🍻😎🤙📺
	9:29pm Kat in Chicago: I like it better than Warm Leatherette
	9:29pm Scott67: Fuckyeah!!!!
	9:29pm chresti: The Dating Game, Concentration, Let's Make a Deal...
	9:29pm Kat in Chicago: Though maybe not better than Grace Jones's cover of Warm Leatherette
	9:29pm Krys O.: One of my dad's favorite TV shows was Hogan's Heroes. The irony was that my parents were prisoners of war during WWII doing forced labor as teenagers on farms in Germany.
	9:29pm ironybread: ...and "Let's Dance" is a great Iggy Pop LP
	9:29pm ultradamno: www.pinterest.com...
	9:30pm Kat in Chicago: That's crazy, Krys!
	9:30pm Krys O.: I loved Concentration. The early version of Jeopardy was incredibly hard.
	9:30pm Aitch: not sure Let's Dance is a great anything
	9:30pm Rich in Washington: Aw dang, Scott! Sorry about Trash Cult! Here's some Stooges!
	9:30pm Kat in Chicago: I really liked Concentration too
	9:30pm Rich in Washington: What about Hollywood Squares?
	9:31pm Krys O.: @Kat: It comes down to how it ridiculed the Nazis. Dad laughed his arse off.
	9:31pm ultradamno: I like The Normal's Warm Leatheretter better than Jonesesses but maybe not as much as Foetuseseses I always got confused if I should spell it Norml, like the pot advocates.
	9:31pm Scott67: Stooges is soothing me hard Rich! Cheers mate! 🤘😎🍻🎶📻
	9:31pm Kat in Chicago: I adored Hollywood Squares even though I knew half the jokes were going over my head
	9:31pm Mr Fab: NOW I like "Hollywood Squares." Paul Lynde! But I didn't get all this "adult' humor as a kid.
	9:31pm Aitch: Cast of HH almost entirely jewish adds to the fun
	9:32pm Krys O.: Of course, Hollywood Squares, Password, and the talk shows! Virginia Graham, Dinah Shore, Merv, etc.
	9:32pm chresti: Yeah Hollywood Squares, where everyone is plotzed!
	9:32pm Krys O.: One of my pals was a writer on Hollywood Squares.
	9:32pm Aitch: except I know nathink, na-think
	9:33pm _Ike_: Meow.
	9:33pm ultradamno: Did he do Password, Pyramid and What's My Line too? I get those shows where decent, hardworking people have to depend on the faculties of coked up celebrities confused
	9:33pm Scott67: I know nothingg, Nothinnggg!!!!
	9:33pm Scott67: You dirty fucker!!
	9:34pm ultradamno: Where is Bill Grundy now? Oh, dead. Just like Tom Snyder, who also had a hostile TV show encounter with Rotten
	9:34pm Don-O: Fooocka!
	9:35pm Don-O: ....oh, and they go out on a moog cover of Windy,
	9:35pm coelacanth∅: greetings Rich & lungers
	9:35pm ultradamno: I really think the headline of that show always should have been how creepy Grundy was trying to talk up Siouxsie
	9:35pm chresti: What's My Line
	9:35pm Scott67: Wasn't it Steve Jones doin all the filth then?
	9:36pm ultradamno: Or Paul Cook, I'm sure there's a way to tell them apart...
	9:36pm Mr Fab: Ah, the Bill Grundy Interview, where our own Mike Rogers got the name of his band The Rotters.
	9:36pm Krys O.: @ultradamno: Tom Snyder and Lydon had an amicable reunion in the early 90s. Quite touching, really.
	9:38pm ultradamno: Didn't he call him Snydie? That was priceless. I think Dick Clark hated him for PiL's Bandstand stunt too.
	9:38pm Mr Fab: Yeah, that was Jonesy slagging off the dirty rotter. And now he hosts a show on KLOS, what used to be the mainstream rock station of LA, the kind of station that never would have played the Pistols in a million years.
	9:39pm ironybread: Once in North Hollywood while biking some idiot yelled at me "What are you, Mormon?" I yelled back "Can Mormons say Motherfucker?" He said "Um," and I went on my way
	9:39pm Krys O.: The Bandstand incident was actually PiL encouraging the audience to come on the stage. It was fun.
	9:39pm Rich in Washington: HA!
	9:39pm ultradamno: That brief period where a couple of major labels got the idea the way to market "new wave" was 10" eps. Epic's were Nu Disks
	9:39pm Scott67: Mick played me a song in TRASH CULT last night. It's a home recorded song by a local. We agreed it must go in our Show, it is rather blasphemous! But piss funny to us! 🍻😎🤙
	9:40pm chresti: I used to love watching the Tomorrow show high
	9:40pm Dean: Better be some ATV.
	9:40pm Dean: Or else...there won't be any ATV.
	9:40pm Mr Fab: Scott, blasphemy is fun!
	9:40pm ultradamno: Well, Dick Clark had a rant about some unnamed band's backstage antics that I always assumed was about them...not many loose cannons got on that show.
	9:41pm Mr Fab: Did Alternative TV ever perform with Television?
	9:41pm Don-O: Sounds like White Punks On Dope
	9:41pm Scott67: So is masturbation! they go hand in hand in this song.
	9:42pm Mr Fab: Don-O: pretty sure it's the same music, but assuming the lyrics are different?
	9:42pm ultradamno: Seems like a natural bill, with Television Personalities on there too.
	9:42pm chresti: You're right Don-O
	9:43pm Kat in Chicago: It says White Punks On Dope in parentheses on the cover
	9:43pm Krys O.: In my 20s I watched a lot of late night televangelists like Herbert W. Armstrong, Dr. Gene Scott, van Impe.
	9:43pm Kat in Chicago: But yeah I think the words are prob different
	9:43pm Mr Fab: ironybread: were you wearing a white dress shirt whilst cycling? Or just cranking up the Osmonds?
	9:43pm Kat in Chicago: Krys: yeah, I had a roommate in my early 20s that got me into televangelism and wrestling
	9:44pm ultradamno: Crass' White Punks On Hope sounds nothing like it though...
	9:44pm Krys O.: One of my sisters married a Mormon, but that's another story.
	9:45pm ironybread: Fab - I was merely riding my bike, which to the very very stupid is the same thing as being Mormon
	9:45pm ultradamno: My aunt was a Witness...that's a whole bag of worms.
	9:45pm Dean: I roomed with a Jehovah's Witness. In fact, he was and is a very, very cool guy.
	9:46pm Mr Fab: televangelism and wrestling? Pretty much describes LA's old UHF channel 56. Throw in roller derby and "Speed Racer."
	9:46pm Krys O.: Yeah, my dad's youngest sister married a JW and cut off all communication with the family.
	9:46pm spodiodi: kid in my neighborhood's family were too. felt bad for that kid. he wasn't allowed to do anything
	9:46pm Kat in Chicago: Chicago had some good UHF stuff in the 80s
	9:46pm Don-O: I get the feeling that I'll be replaying this over the weekend....that and the Mothers show. You're killing it, Rich!!
	9:46pm Krys O.: This infinitely improves this song.
	9:46pm ultradamno: Were you wearing a white button down shirt? Because that with bike is the mormon uniform
	9:47pm Scott67: That'll be me tonight! But with no friends, unless I'm in FMU Chat too.
	9:47pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, Don-O!
	9:47pm Mr Fab: ultradamno: haha, I asked him that, too. No, he wasn't.
	9:47pm ironybread: Be sure and tune in to my show tomorrow, "A History of White Men on Bicycles", where our special guest will be Alfred Jarry
	9:48pm Rich in Washington: Aw, Scott!
	9:48pm Krys O.: Yup, that's part of the Mission year when Mormon boys go out to proselytize.
	9:48pm Don-O: I wonder if channel 56 is on YouTube.....
	9:48pm Don-O: The speed makes all the sense in the world!!
	9:49pm ultradamno: Be careful asking for a light from that guy, he's been known to reach for the firearms over such request.
	9:49pm Krys O.: As Mick Jagger said, "We'd like to say "God Bless". So, if you're out tonight, Don't forget, if you're on your bike, wear white...amen."
	9:50pm Franco Twinkie: Irony, will there be a segment on Albert Hoffman?
	9:51pm ultradamno: Slow downed Dez is great singer
	9:51pm ultradamno: ...oh, I guess that's Hank on that single.
	9:52pm ultradamno: Black Flag singers are hard to keep track of...
	9:52pm Rich in Washington: Hi Franco!
	9:52pm Dean: I sense that we have trouble with difficult or putatively extreme ideologies, ones that are at first glance contrary to our own. I don't buy it. My JW buddy is massively talented and reasonably critical of his upbringing.
	9:53pm Aitch: songs we learned from that gateway drug Let Them Eat Jellybeans comp
	9:57pm ultradamno: Did Black Flag ever do a medley version of TV Party and Six Pack live? It would be very easy to slip from one into the other
	10:01pm Don-O: Of COURSE this track
	10:03pm Rich in Washington: I hadn't actually planned to play this but that Grotus track reminded me of it.
	10:05pm ultradamno: Didn't The Mentors have a song about that?
	10:05pm Rich in Washington: this song's so out of date. The nazis next door are no longer hidden.
	10:05pm Kat in Chicago: I was thinking the same thing, Rich
	10:06pm Don-O: If there's a 'Nazis In Arizona', I'd believe it.
	10:06pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, I know you're familiar with Eye Witness News on Channel seven. This afternoon I went to my moms house under the impression I was going there to water the plants. You know what I did instead? fell asleep on the couch while Dallas Rains did the weather. They don't talk about the conflict between Russia and The Ukraine. Instead they do segments on the rising problem of street racing in the San Fernando Valley, which is fine, no one I encounter on my daily route talks about the war. I look at the BBC and France 24 now and then if I want to see carnage of the most horrific sort. I never watch TV at home, but I'm entitled to fall asleep without having nightmares, I think. TV is poison for the most part, but so is Pepsi. Just one Pepsi, all is I want is one Pepsi!
	10:06pm Rich in Washington: and now the TV news would act like their view should be examined neutrally
	10:07pm ultradamno: I don't know if qualifies as a TV song but Tuxedomoon's "so we joked about the TV set, calling it the eye from hell" just popped in my head
	10:07pm Rich in Washington: What's that from, ultra?
	10:08pm ultradamno: Desire
	10:08pm Dean: There's a war? Who proclaimed it? Who against whom? There is no war de jure, there is one de facto. Ain't that lovely?
	10:09pm Franco Twinkie: THIS!!!
	10:10pm ultradamno: I think Putin is set to declare it, if he hasn't already
	10:11pm spodiodi: Moistly, Dean
	10:11pm ultradamno: (at least that's been widely rumored to be about to happen)
	10:11pm Mr Fab: Austin Rich did a show of songs about tv, pretty much punk. As I said then, It’s weird, there were almost no songs about TV before punk. Future archaeologists judging our culture by our music would have no idea what an impact TV had. Until they get to the punk era.
	10:13pm Kat in Chicago: I'm the Slime is an earlier TV song I can think of
	10:13pm ultradamno: And now the TV is a quaint anachronism, if you can't carry it around and nearly get hit by a car crossing the street watching it...
	10:13pm Rich in Washington: There's a Stan Freberg song and a bit by Ken Nordine. I'm just doing this on the fly. Not really trying to be comprehensive.
	10:14pm Franco Twinkie: You beat me Kat!
	10:14pm Scott67: Keep waiting for Skyhooks, Horror Movie.
	10:14pm Kat in Chicago: wasn't an INSTANT REQUEST haha, I was just trying to think of pre-punk songs about TV
	10:15pm Krys O.: I remember that one, Scott.
	10:15pm Dean: I'm as moist as the next guy, but 1) there is no war at present, 2) Trump of all POTUS managed not to escalate this sort of shit, 3) we can spend our spring and summer weekends pondering Putin's intentions forever, and 4) I really miss the pandemic (no traffic) and Trump's administration (don't fuck with Russia). Why is this so hard for folks to process?
	10:15pm ultradamno: Radiators From Space had a great one "Television Screen"
	10:15pm Kat in Chicago: this is an awfully good theme show, I would have thought you prepped a lot for it Rich
	10:16pm ultradamno: ...and The Cortinas had "Television Families"...is it possible there's not a Rezillos one?
	10:17pm Franco Twinkie: Call it a war or call it a trip to the laundromat, I think we all know what we're looking at.
	10:17pm Scott67: Krys, particularly relevant regarding current News!
	10:19pm Dean: So discouraging, Franco.
	10:20pm Franco Twinkie: This chair hurts my ass. I'm going to sit a cross the room where I can't type.
	10:20pm StringOFperils: Smart move
	10:20pm ultradamno: Uh...Trump did make a big deal of dropping some bombs
	10:21pm ultradamno: (of course, that was in a "shithole country")
	10:23pm Scott67: I love ya mate!! 🍻😎🤙
	10:24pm ultradamno: TVOD is officially side A
	10:28pm _Ike_: Wait, where's the 24-hour Over the Edge stream?!?
	10:29pm Rich in Washington: bananavision.tv
	10:30pm _Ike_: Thanks! May all the vision bananas envision you being pelted with profuse sacks of dark chocolate!
	10:35pm spodiodi: connect the gd dots
	10:36pm spodiodi: who am trying to impress? who could care less?
	10:37pm spodiodi: 🙏 Rich
	10:41pm spodiodi: is that Ron Jeremy on the album cover?
	10:41pm Kat in Chicago: I like what you did there, Rich
	10:42pm spodiodi: apparently so
	10:42pm Franco Twinkie: I saw that band of Mothers premier at The Hollywood Palladium in May of 1973. Yes, yes I know - they're not the 1968 MOI, but lemme tell you, they kicked all kinds of ass. That was one band of motherfuckers.
	10:43pm ultradamno: ...and so close to mother's day
	10:43pm Rich in Washington: That version of the Mothers with Ruth Underwood and George Duke etc. was fantastic.
	10:44pm Franco Twinkie: They were beyond belief live.
	10:46pm Franco Twinkie: Well he is holding a very long hose, Spodiodi.
	10:46pm ultradamno: The number one cathode-paranoia movie...though Halloween 3 is up there
	10:48pm Franco Twinkie: Amit it - how many of you watched the exploding head in slow motion?
	10:49pm ultradamno: I remember walking into Second Time Around in Inpls as a teen and they were watching this, at a particularly opportune moment of gore and being like WHAT IS THIS? I MUST KNOW NOW
	10:53pm ultradamno: I think it was the part where Barry Convex convulses himself into pieces
	10:54pm Rich in Washington: I keep meaning to watch Videodrome again and then I remember it's got James Woods in it.
	10:55pm Krys O.: According to the artist, that guy is a composite of two of Zappa's roadies.
	10:55pm Scott67: What's Woods done wrong?
	10:55pm Rich in Washington: I cringe when I listen to collages I made around this time and how much reverb I used to use. Gawd.
	10:56pm Rich in Washington: He's a gleefully idiotic right wing crankhole.
	10:56pm ultradamno: Hey, there he is! Yeah, Woods has broken bad, but I won't let him take this away from me (even though I keep expecting him to declare himself on the side of Videodrome on Twitter any day now)
	10:56pm spodiodi: indeed
	10:57pm Scott67: Aaahh!! Sad, I didn't know that Rich.
	10:57pm ultradamno: @Scott He's a big Maga guy, if there's a wrong side to be on, he's declared himself on it.
	10:58pm Krys O.: Thanks, Rich!
	10:58pm ultradamno: Also, he has a history of hitting on underage girls
	10:58pm StringOFperils: Being a gleefully idiotic right wing crankhole is a great way to hide in plain sight nowdays...until the old mouth starts to run off.

	8:01pm chresti: Hi crepebuilders! Hi Rich!

	8:03pm Feldy: Yeah, THAT one

	8:04pm Kat in Chicago: Another Rich in Washington INSTANT REQUEST!
	8:05pm Krys O: Hey there!
	8:07pm Rich in Washington: Hi everyone! Up to my armpits in samples n' such! Sorry I'm not here much!
	8:08pm WR: I sometimes have all 4 WFMU streams playing simultaneously.
	8:09pm Kat in Chicago: I can't even deal with two.
	8:12pm Rich in Washington: Thanks for being here, everybody!
	8:14pm Mr Fab: Hey Rich! Looking forward to programming focus-grouped to appeal to valuable demographics!
	8:14pm Aitch: Hey Rich and gang.
	8:15pm Rich in Washington: Everyone gets a totebag for participating in this focus group.
	8:15pm Rich in Washington: Aitch!
	8:15pm Aitch: will there be fluffers?
	8:16pm Rich in Washington: Hi Fab! Hi Kat! Hi Krys O! Hi WR! HI SoP! Hi Feldy! Hi Spodi! Hi chresti! Hi ironybread! Hi ultradamno! Hi everyone!
	8:16pm WR: I don't know what kind of focus group you are thinking of Aitch...
	8:17pm Kat in Chicago: How do you get from totebags to fluffers? Misty Ginger is done for the week haha
	8:17pm Scott67: G'day Rich & Diggings! ☕😎🤙🎶📻🌏
	8:17pm ironybread: I believe the Tubes are great and are headed for enormous success. I think they should do more songs about cocaine. Also Proctor and Bergman should open for them more often. Do I get a free key ring?
	8:18pm ironybread: #InsertHere
	8:18pm Kat in Chicago: Scott! I mentioned beer HOURS ago and you didn't pop up in chat like you usually do.
	8:19pm Rich in Washington: Scott67!
	8:19pm Mr Fab: this is Must-See Radio.
	8:22pm ironybread: Here's the evidence, folks - I wish I had one of these dyn1.heritagestatic.com...
	8:22pm Aitch: Apologies, I thought the focus group was about the Tubes, that gets fluffers.
	8:22pm ultradamno: With 12 screens to pick from, it's a lighthearted romp!
	8:23pm Rich in Washington: Dang. I plum forgot about that. Funny coinkidink, huh?
	8:23pm Aitch: But you have to pay a Fee
	8:23pm Kat in Chicago: Nice flyer there, irony
	8:24pm Mr Fab: Jack Webb had a living room tv set-up like the pic on top, so he could watch "Dragnet" along with the competition.
	8:24pm ultradamno: The Tubes are how I first saw BDSM gear, at too young an age. Thanks, Fee!
	8:25pm Rich in Washington: Yeah, somewhere I saw a pic of Webb's wall of TV. Not sure where.
	8:26pm Scott67: Kat, that's cos I was sleeping off last nights beer mate. ☕😎🤙🍻
	8:26pm Aitch: Friend at school was a mad Tubes fan. Moved to the states and now writes books about Hollywood types. I need to drag him to the Jungle Room
	8:26pm Kat in Chicago: You're excused, Scott :)
	8:27pm Mr Fab: TV seems so innocent now compared to the internet. Passive consumerism ain't a bad deal compared to all the horrors that the 'net unleashed.
	8:28pm Aitch: My kids disengage as soon as they hear a laugh-track
	8:28pm ironybread: #WhatToDoUntilMcluhanComes
	8:28pm Rich in Washington: yeah that's what I was thinking too, Fab. Kind of irrelevant today, compared to say 2000 or so.
	8:28pm ultradamno: I wonder if they were influential in Westwood getting bondage pants into punk fashion....until US hardcores came along, anyhow.
	8:35pm ironybread: It's Magic!!!
	8:37pm ironybread: #DangerousActsOfLove
	8:48pm MHLee: Hi Rich
	8:48pm Rich in Washington: Hi MHLee!
	8:49pm spodiodi: love the Galaga-esque dive-bomb noises
	8:50pm Aitch: A friend had a project called Celebrity Drug Disasters, track The Television Will Not Be Revolutionised sample ended up as part of a Soothers ad.
	8:51pm Zipperhead7: Hi folks -- this is putting me in the mindframe of Ant Farm's "Media Burn" piece, where they drive a modified cadillac they call a "phantom dream car" into a wall of flaming TVs
	8:53pm Mr Fab: this kind of anti-tv rhetoric always divided everyone into poles: you were either the brain-washed masses, or smart people who proudly declared that they never watched tv, gave their tv away. etc. But plenty could watch TV critically and ironically. that is: listening actively, not just passively.
	8:54pm abbazabba: Hay everyone! I missed Marshall McLuhan damnit. Will check the archives for that definitely
	8:55pm Rich in Washington: Hi abbazabba! Don't worry! There'll be more.
	8:55pm Rich in Washington: Hi Zipperhead7!
	8:55pm abbazabba: Awesome!
	8:56pm ultradamno: It's why HBO had to be not-tv for years. But it was, I tell you, HBO WAS TV!
	8:56pm Rich in Washington: Paul Frees
	8:56pm ultradamno: Cineplexes dumbed down cinema enough that anti-television snobbery seems pretty out of touch these days.
	8:56pm ironybread: Love this Negativland bit...it's on "Live at the Knitting Factory" Vol. 3
	8:58pm Rich in Washington: I couldn't find my Knitting Factory CD!
	8:59pm Don-O: IV of the noggin'
	9:00pm Mr Fab: ultradamno: good point. One could argue that Tv and film have flipped in terms of respectability. TV gives us solid stuff like "Mad Men," "Breaking Bad," etc, while the cinemas are filled with superheroes and kid's films - films for children, or the childish, har har.
	9:00pm MHLee: So I had been kinda half a sleep in another room came back to my PC and anti-television punk was playing took me like five minutes to figure out
	9:00pm Krys O.: My good friend, Val Sebastiano who was a dj on WFMU used to pass off literature from S.E.T., the Society for the Eradication of Television.
	9:02pm ironybread: #ThanksAnywayHeresYourPictureBack
	9:02pm Zipperhead7: McLuhan has had an interesting trajectory. His first book, "The Mechanical Bride," was a critical work influenced by the Frankfurt School. Then he switched to. positive view of media, and was embraced by communication scholars, who traditionally felt pretty marginal. No, he said, they were doing the most important work of all! Then he fell out of favor but he's sexy again because of the Internet. Basically, he would have been a hell of an ad man -- his scholarship was suspect, but he was brilliant at aphorisms.
	9:03pm ironybread: #AndImOnlyReadingIt
	9:05pm Rich in Washington: These kids wantonly violating Robot's Rules of Order... tsk tsk
	9:09pm ultradamno: I think the xxl is the message
	9:11pm ironybread: #ThisIsNotARealTest
	9:15pm Krys O.: Gawd, I loved this P&B album so much. Thanks for playing it, Rich.
	9:18pm Rich in Washington: It's a great one.
	9:18pm Scott67: I like TV. Used discerningly it can be quite nutritious. 🍻😎🤙📺
	9:19pm ultradamno: Remember the guy who famously kicked in his TV because of the Sex Pistols on Bill Grundy? That's putting your money where your mouth is.
	9:20pm Rich in Washington: Funny you should mention that, ultra
	9:20pm Krys O.: I was raised watching Galloping Gourmet, old reruns of 50s sitcoms, PBS, great local NYC programming, and so much more. I'm pro-TV.
	9:20pm ironybread: The baby from the "Remote Control" cover and the baby from Nirvana's "Nevermind" cover should do a podcast together
	9:21pm Don-O: I'm developing a new level of respect for The Tubes!!
	9:21pm Kat in Chicago: Same here.
	9:22pm ultradamno: Is the Nevermind babyman still trying to get paid off for having been sexually exploited, or whatever it was he was claiming?
	9:22pm Krys O.: I was an insomniac since I was a tot and I'd get up in the middle of the night to watch TV. It was hard to find anything that was on in the 60s/early 70s at late hours, but I'd sometimes fall asleep to test patterns.
	9:22pm MHLee: The tubes are weird because they always go from punk to proggy
	9:23pm Aitch: Transformer one of Bowie's best albums I always think
	9:24pm ultradamno: Better than The Idiot?
	9:24pm Don-O: ....from prog to Xanadu to Top 40 then to prog again. That's a lot of living to doing.
	9:25pm Aitch: One of, he's all over this one
	9:25pm Don-O: There's not much TV I can speak from my end as I watched too much Gong Show as it reminded me of Venice Beach.
	9:25pm Don-O: I hear a MST3K reference here!!
	9:25pm WR: oooh, Aitch, buuurnnnn. At a Lincoln Center concert of Ornette Coleman & Laurie Anderson, Lou Reed came on for 1 tune and they did this one. I was puzzle and not pleased.
	9:25pm Krys O.: Let's Make a Deal scarred me a bit.
	9:26pm ultradamno: Beat The Clock, I still have confusing memories of that.
	9:27pm Krys O.: Bowling for Dollars! The Newlywed Game.
	9:27pm Aitch: Kitten played one of his own the other week where he mashed Lou Reed's guitar from I Heard Her Call My Name with an Olivia Newton John Track. Twisted magic ensued.
	9:27pm Don-O: I lusted over Holly from The Price Is Right. Yup, TV has done it's damage on me back then....
	9:28pm Mr Fab: as good as "Warm Leatherette" but doesn't get nearly the love.
	9:28pm Scott67: TRASH CULT is closed today, so you got me for the duration Rich1 Then it may be time to TV O.D.! 📻🎶🍻😎🤙📺
	9:29pm Kat in Chicago: I like it better than Warm Leatherette
	9:29pm Scott67: Fuckyeah!!!!
	9:29pm chresti: The Dating Game, Concentration, Let's Make a Deal...
	9:29pm Kat in Chicago: Though maybe not better than Grace Jones's cover of Warm Leatherette
	9:29pm Krys O.: One of my dad's favorite TV shows was Hogan's Heroes. The irony was that my parents were prisoners of war during WWII doing forced labor as teenagers on farms in Germany.
	9:29pm ironybread: ...and "Let's Dance" is a great Iggy Pop LP
	9:29pm ultradamno: www.pinterest.com...
	9:30pm Kat in Chicago: That's crazy, Krys!
	9:30pm Krys O.: I loved Concentration. The early version of Jeopardy was incredibly hard.
	9:30pm Aitch: not sure Let's Dance is a great anything
	9:30pm Rich in Washington: Aw dang, Scott! Sorry about Trash Cult! Here's some Stooges!
	9:30pm Kat in Chicago: I really liked Concentration too
	9:30pm Rich in Washington: What about Hollywood Squares?
	9:31pm Krys O.: @Kat: It comes down to how it ridiculed the Nazis. Dad laughed his arse off.
	9:31pm ultradamno: I like The Normal's Warm Leatheretter better than Jonesesses but maybe not as much as Foetuseseses I always got confused if I should spell it Norml, like the pot advocates.
	9:31pm Scott67: Stooges is soothing me hard Rich! Cheers mate! 🤘😎🍻🎶📻
	9:31pm Kat in Chicago: I adored Hollywood Squares even though I knew half the jokes were going over my head
	9:31pm Mr Fab: NOW I like "Hollywood Squares." Paul Lynde! But I didn't get all this "adult' humor as a kid.
	9:31pm Aitch: Cast of HH almost entirely jewish adds to the fun
	9:32pm Krys O.: Of course, Hollywood Squares, Password, and the talk shows! Virginia Graham, Dinah Shore, Merv, etc.
	9:32pm chresti: Yeah Hollywood Squares, where everyone is plotzed!
	9:32pm Krys O.: One of my pals was a writer on Hollywood Squares.
	9:32pm Aitch: except I know nathink, na-think
	9:33pm _Ike_: Meow.
	9:33pm ultradamno: Did he do Password, Pyramid and What's My Line too? I get those shows where decent, hardworking people have to depend on the faculties of coked up celebrities confused
	9:33pm Scott67: I know nothingg, Nothinnggg!!!!
	9:33pm Scott67: You dirty fucker!!
	9:34pm ultradamno: Where is Bill Grundy now? Oh, dead. Just like Tom Snyder, who also had a hostile TV show encounter with Rotten
	9:34pm Don-O: Fooocka!
	9:35pm Don-O: ....oh, and they go out on a moog cover of Windy,
	9:35pm coelacanth∅: greetings Rich & lungers
	9:35pm ultradamno: I really think the headline of that show always should have been how creepy Grundy was trying to talk up Siouxsie
	9:35pm chresti: What's My Line
	9:35pm Scott67: Wasn't it Steve Jones doin all the filth then?
	9:36pm ultradamno: Or Paul Cook, I'm sure there's a way to tell them apart...
	9:36pm Mr Fab: Ah, the Bill Grundy Interview, where our own Mike Rogers got the name of his band The Rotters.
	9:36pm Krys O.: @ultradamno: Tom Snyder and Lydon had an amicable reunion in the early 90s. Quite touching, really.
	9:38pm ultradamno: Didn't he call him Snydie? That was priceless. I think Dick Clark hated him for PiL's Bandstand stunt too.
	9:38pm Mr Fab: Yeah, that was Jonesy slagging off the dirty rotter. And now he hosts a show on KLOS, what used to be the mainstream rock station of LA, the kind of station that never would have played the Pistols in a million years.
	9:39pm ironybread: Once in North Hollywood while biking some idiot yelled at me "What are you, Mormon?" I yelled back "Can Mormons say Motherfucker?" He said "Um," and I went on my way
	9:39pm Krys O.: The Bandstand incident was actually PiL encouraging the audience to come on the stage. It was fun.
	9:39pm Rich in Washington: HA!
	9:39pm ultradamno: That brief period where a couple of major labels got the idea the way to market "new wave" was 10" eps. Epic's were Nu Disks
	9:39pm Scott67: Mick played me a song in TRASH CULT last night. It's a home recorded song by a local. We agreed it must go in our Show, it is rather blasphemous! But piss funny to us! 🍻😎🤙
	9:40pm chresti: I used to love watching the Tomorrow show high
	9:40pm Dean: Better be some ATV.
	9:40pm Dean: Or else...there won't be any ATV.
	9:40pm Mr Fab: Scott, blasphemy is fun!
	9:40pm ultradamno: Well, Dick Clark had a rant about some unnamed band's backstage antics that I always assumed was about them...not many loose cannons got on that show.
	9:41pm Mr Fab: Did Alternative TV ever perform with Television?
	9:41pm Don-O: Sounds like White Punks On Dope
	9:41pm Scott67: So is masturbation! they go hand in hand in this song.
	9:42pm Mr Fab: Don-O: pretty sure it's the same music, but assuming the lyrics are different?
	9:42pm ultradamno: Seems like a natural bill, with Television Personalities on there too.
	9:42pm chresti: You're right Don-O
	9:43pm Kat in Chicago: It says White Punks On Dope in parentheses on the cover
	9:43pm Krys O.: In my 20s I watched a lot of late night televangelists like Herbert W. Armstrong, Dr. Gene Scott, van Impe.
	9:43pm Kat in Chicago: But yeah I think the words are prob different
	9:43pm Mr Fab: ironybread: were you wearing a white dress shirt whilst cycling? Or just cranking up the Osmonds?
	9:43pm Kat in Chicago: Krys: yeah, I had a roommate in my early 20s that got me into televangelism and wrestling
	9:44pm ultradamno: Crass' White Punks On Hope sounds nothing like it though...
	9:44pm Krys O.: One of my sisters married a Mormon, but that's another story.
	9:45pm ironybread: Fab - I was merely riding my bike, which to the very very stupid is the same thing as being Mormon
	9:45pm ultradamno: My aunt was a Witness...that's a whole bag of worms.
	9:45pm Dean: I roomed with a Jehovah's Witness. In fact, he was and is a very, very cool guy.
	9:46pm Mr Fab: televangelism and wrestling? Pretty much describes LA's old UHF channel 56. Throw in roller derby and "Speed Racer."
	9:46pm Krys O.: Yeah, my dad's youngest sister married a JW and cut off all communication with the family.
	9:46pm spodiodi: kid in my neighborhood's family were too. felt bad for that kid. he wasn't allowed to do anything
	9:46pm Kat in Chicago: Chicago had some good UHF stuff in the 80s
	9:46pm Don-O: I get the feeling that I'll be replaying this over the weekend....that and the Mothers show. You're killing it, Rich!!
	9:46pm Krys O.: This infinitely improves this song.
	9:46pm ultradamno: Were you wearing a white button down shirt? Because that with bike is the mormon uniform
	9:47pm Scott67: That'll be me tonight! But with no friends, unless I'm in FMU Chat too.
	9:47pm Rich in Washington: Thanks, Don-O!
	9:47pm Mr Fab: ultradamno: haha, I asked him that, too. No, he wasn't.
	9:47pm ironybread: Be sure and tune in to my show tomorrow, "A History of White Men on Bicycles", where our special guest will be Alfred Jarry
	9:48pm Rich in Washington: Aw, Scott!
	9:48pm Krys O.: Yup, that's part of the Mission year when Mormon boys go out to proselytize.
	9:48pm Don-O: I wonder if channel 56 is on YouTube.....
	9:48pm Don-O: The speed makes all the sense in the world!!
	9:49pm ultradamno: Be careful asking for a light from that guy, he's been known to reach for the firearms over such request.
	9:49pm Krys O.: As Mick Jagger said, "We'd like to say "God Bless". So, if you're out tonight, Don't forget, if you're on your bike, wear white...amen."
	9:50pm Franco Twinkie: Irony, will there be a segment on Albert Hoffman?
	9:51pm ultradamno: Slow downed Dez is great singer
	9:51pm ultradamno: ...oh, I guess that's Hank on that single.
	9:52pm ultradamno: Black Flag singers are hard to keep track of...
	9:52pm Rich in Washington: Hi Franco!
	9:52pm Dean: I sense that we have trouble with difficult or putatively extreme ideologies, ones that are at first glance contrary to our own. I don't buy it. My JW buddy is massively talented and reasonably critical of his upbringing.
	9:53pm Aitch: songs we learned from that gateway drug Let Them Eat Jellybeans comp
	9:57pm ultradamno: Did Black Flag ever do a medley version of TV Party and Six Pack live? It would be very easy to slip from one into the other
	10:01pm Don-O: Of COURSE this track
	10:03pm Rich in Washington: I hadn't actually planned to play this but that Grotus track reminded me of it.
	10:05pm ultradamno: Didn't The Mentors have a song about that?
	10:05pm Rich in Washington: this song's so out of date. The nazis next door are no longer hidden.
	10:05pm Kat in Chicago: I was thinking the same thing, Rich
	10:06pm Don-O: If there's a 'Nazis In Arizona', I'd believe it.
	10:06pm Franco Twinkie: Dean, I know you're familiar with Eye Witness News on Channel seven. This afternoon I went to my moms house under the impression I was going there to water the plants. You know what I did instead? fell asleep on the couch while Dallas Rains did the weather. They don't talk about the conflict between Russia and The Ukraine. Instead they do segments on the rising problem of street racing in the San Fernando Valley, which is fine, no one I encounter on my daily route talks about the war. I look at the BBC and France 24 now and then if I want to see carnage of the most horrific sort. I never watch TV at home, but I'm entitled to fall asleep without having nightmares, I think. TV is poison for the most part, but so is Pepsi. Just one Pepsi, all is I want is one Pepsi!
	10:06pm Rich in Washington: and now the TV news would act like their view should be examined neutrally
	10:07pm ultradamno: I don't know if qualifies as a TV song but Tuxedomoon's "so we joked about the TV set, calling it the eye from hell" just popped in my head
	10:07pm Rich in Washington: What's that from, ultra?
	10:08pm ultradamno: Desire
	10:08pm Dean: There's a war? Who proclaimed it? Who against whom? There is no war de jure, there is one de facto. Ain't that lovely?
	10:09pm Franco Twinkie: THIS!!!
	10:10pm ultradamno: I think Putin is set to declare it, if he hasn't already
	10:11pm spodiodi: Moistly, Dean
	10:11pm ultradamno: (at least that's been widely rumored to be about to happen)
	10:11pm Mr Fab: Austin Rich did a show of songs about tv, pretty much punk. As I said then, It’s weird, there were almost no songs about TV before punk. Future archaeologists judging our culture by our music would have no idea what an impact TV had. Until they get to the punk era.
	10:13pm Kat in Chicago: I'm the Slime is an earlier TV song I can think of
	10:13pm ultradamno: And now the TV is a quaint anachronism, if you can't carry it around and nearly get hit by a car crossing the street watching it...
	10:13pm Rich in Washington: There's a Stan Freberg song and a bit by Ken Nordine. I'm just doing this on the fly. Not really trying to be comprehensive.
	10:14pm Franco Twinkie: You beat me Kat!
	10:14pm Scott67: Keep waiting for Skyhooks, Horror Movie.
	10:14pm Kat in Chicago: wasn't an INSTANT REQUEST haha, I was just trying to think of pre-punk songs about TV
	10:15pm Krys O.: I remember that one, Scott.
	10:15pm Dean: I'm as moist as the next guy, but 1) there is no war at present, 2) Trump of all POTUS managed not to escalate this sort of shit, 3) we can spend our spring and summer weekends pondering Putin's intentions forever, and 4) I really miss the pandemic (no traffic) and Trump's administration (don't fuck with Russia). Why is this so hard for folks to process?
	10:15pm ultradamno: Radiators From Space had a great one "Television Screen"
	10:15pm Kat in Chicago: this is an awfully good theme show, I would have thought you prepped a lot for it Rich
	10:16pm ultradamno: ...and The Cortinas had "Television Families"...is it possible there's not a Rezillos one?
	10:17pm Franco Twinkie: Call it a war or call it a trip to the laundromat, I think we all know what we're looking at.
	10:17pm Scott67: Krys, particularly relevant regarding current News!
	10:19pm Dean: So discouraging, Franco.
	10:20pm Franco Twinkie: This chair hurts my ass. I'm going to sit a cross the room where I can't type.
	10:20pm StringOFperils: Smart move
	10:20pm ultradamno: Uh...Trump did make a big deal of dropping some bombs
	10:21pm ultradamno: (of course, that was in a "shithole country")
	10:23pm Scott67: I love ya mate!! 🍻😎🤙
	10:24pm ultradamno: TVOD is officially side A
	10:28pm _Ike_: Wait, where's the 24-hour Over the Edge stream?!?
	10:29pm Rich in Washington: bananavision.tv
	10:30pm _Ike_: Thanks! May all the vision bananas envision you being pelted with profuse sacks of dark chocolate!
	10:35pm spodiodi: connect the gd dots
	10:36pm spodiodi: who am trying to impress? who could care less?
	10:37pm spodiodi: 🙏 Rich
	10:41pm spodiodi: is that Ron Jeremy on the album cover?
	10:41pm Kat in Chicago: I like what you did there, Rich
	10:42pm spodiodi: apparently so
	10:42pm Franco Twinkie: I saw that band of Mothers premier at The Hollywood Palladium in May of 1973. Yes, yes I know - they're not the 1968 MOI, but lemme tell you, they kicked all kinds of ass. That was one band of motherfuckers.
	10:43pm ultradamno: ...and so close to mother's day
	10:43pm Rich in Washington: That version of the Mothers with Ruth Underwood and George Duke etc. was fantastic.
	10:44pm Franco Twinkie: They were beyond belief live.
	10:46pm Franco Twinkie: Well he is holding a very long hose, Spodiodi.
	10:46pm ultradamno: The number one cathode-paranoia movie...though Halloween 3 is up there
	10:48pm Franco Twinkie: Amit it - how many of you watched the exploding head in slow motion?
	10:49pm ultradamno: I remember walking into Second Time Around in Inpls as a teen and they were watching this, at a particularly opportune moment of gore and being like WHAT IS THIS? I MUST KNOW NOW
	10:53pm ultradamno: I think it was the part where Barry Convex convulses himself into pieces
	10:54pm Rich in Washington: I keep meaning to watch Videodrome again and then I remember it's got James Woods in it.
	10:55pm Krys O.: According to the artist, that guy is a composite of two of Zappa's roadies.
	10:55pm Scott67: What's Woods done wrong?
	10:55pm Rich in Washington: I cringe when I listen to collages I made around this time and how much reverb I used to use. Gawd.
	10:56pm Rich in Washington: He's a gleefully idiotic right wing crankhole.
	10:56pm ultradamno: Hey, there he is! Yeah, Woods has broken bad, but I won't let him take this away from me (even though I keep expecting him to declare himself on the side of Videodrome on Twitter any day now)
	10:56pm spodiodi: indeed
	10:57pm Scott67: Aaahh!! Sad, I didn't know that Rich.
	10:57pm ultradamno: @Scott He's a big Maga guy, if there's a wrong side to be on, he's declared himself on it.
	10:58pm Krys O.: Thanks, Rich!
	10:58pm ultradamno: Also, he has a history of hitting on underage girls
	10:58pm StringOFperils: Being a gleefully idiotic right wing crankhole is a great way to hide in plain sight nowdays...until the old mouth starts to run off.
	10:59pm coelacanth∅: Thanks Rich tchau
	10:59pm Scott67: Thanks Rich! Comfortingly disturbing in all the right places mate! 🍻😎🤙
	11:00pm StringOFperils: Thanks Rich. Thanks TV.
	11:00pm spodiodi: thanks, Rich!
	11:00pm ultradamno: Amber Tamblyn has a charming story of him making a run at her and responding to the information that she was not even barely legal at the time said "even better"
	11:00pm Kat in Chicago: As Andy Breckman might say, that show had something for everyone. Well done, Rich.
	11:03pm Mr Fab: And so ends our programming day. Before we switch to the test pattern, thanks very much Rich!
	11:05pm Kat in Chicago: LOL I don't know that reference, but I did in fact try a new salad dressing today and it was good. Lemon tahini.
	11:05pm ultradamno: I'm ride or die for Litehouse chunky blue cheese
	11:06pm Scott67: 🍻😎🤙🌏❤️
	11:06pm Rich in Washington: Thanks everybody! MWAAAA!
