Listener comments!
	7:45pm Eric Kilkenny: I like my radio broken!!!
	♥ 8:36pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Eric Kilkenny @7:45 Eric!
	♥ 9:00pm Rich in Washington: Hi everyone!
	🥁 ♥ 9:00pm WR: I'm working a double shift, so you gotta keep me awake for another 3 hours.
	♥ 9:00pm Rich in Washington: ↳ WR @9:00 just don't stare at the graphic too long
	9:01pm Robm: ↳ WR @9:00 @WR bummer hope you can
	🥁 ♥ 9:01pm ultradamno: Rich! Breaker-Breakers!
	9:01pm Don-O: Break away!!
	♥ 9:02pm Rich in Washington: Hi everyone! Having some coffee to take the edge off the sleepies.
	🥁 ♥ 9:03pm pot8o: hi everyone!
	♥ 9:04pm Rich in Washington: the little skips are in the audio file I'm afraid. Argh.
	♥ 9:04pm Webhamster Henry: Hiya Rich!
	♥ 9:04pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @9:03 Hi pot8o!
	♥ 9:04pm chresti: Hi Rich and radio breakers!
	♥ 9:05pm Rich in Washington: Hi Will! Hi chresti! Hi Don-O! Hi Robm! Hi WR! Hi ultra!
	🥁 ♥ 9:05pm FKA Kat in Chicago: Taking a break with Rich!
	9:05pm Dean: I pretty much loathe SNL, pretty much from day one, but this is terrific, due to Morris's real musical theatrical skills. I also can't let go of Aykroyd's sleazy art critic.
	♥ 9:06pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Dean @9:05 Leonard Pinthe-Garnell is my spirit animal
	♥ 9:07pm Rich in Washington: ↳ FKA Kat in Chicago @9:05 FKA Kat!
	9:07pm Dean: If only it had lasted just one episode.
	9:08pm Robm: ↳ Song: "King Kong" by "Tom Waits" Always loved tom waits thanks rich
	🥁 ♥ 9:08pm ultradamno: Everything O'Donoghue did was faultless. I will die on this hill. Even if he was notoriously an abusive dick (see the lampoon doc)
	♥ 9:09pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "King Kong" by "Tom Waits" It wasn't until a while after this came out that I was aware that this was a Daniel Johnston cover.
	🥁 ♥ 9:10pm WR: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:09 Wow, Didn't realize that but now that I am told, I can hear it.
	♥ 9:11pm Rich in Washington: ↳ WR @9:10 I wonder if I have it. I should look. Or not.
	♥ 9:13pm Rich in Washington: Daniel Johnston gave a large pile of CDRs of his music to KBOO when he visited once and a volunteer was slogging away at making CD cases for them (they were a mess. Nothing on the envelopes, etc.) and when the acting Programming Director quit he stuck them all in my mailbox. What to do with them? Just a bunch of CDRs with sharpie titles on them.
	9:13pm Eric Kilkenny: Ello Ello Ello!
	♥ 9:14pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Eric Kilkenny @9:13 Eric! Lovely seeing you in the flesh today!
	9:14pm Dean: The problem with SNL was a combination of bad writing and acting (Belushi? Utterly without talent. Chase?!), and its commanding smarmy "Aren't we special?" attitude (hopelessly parodied by Carvey to the point of exhaustion). I am a huge fan of National Lampoon, but the material simply does not translate to screen.
	9:14pm Eric Kilkenny: Meatspace is the place! Indeed
	♥ 9:15pm Franco Twinkie: Playing King Kong on The Drummer Stream could get you sent right back to Sheena's Jungle Room. IT'S NOT REAL JAZZ, GODDAMN IT!
	♥ 9:15pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Eric Kilkenny @9:14 I ended up buying a bunch of records I probably shouldn't have. Or should have.
	9:15pm Eric Kilkenny: Money well spent!
	🥁 ♥ 9:16pm WR: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:13 A small project but lots of material. When he died the web site had everything back ordered, never did circle back to grab some.
	♥ 9:16pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:15 Franco! Are you the mythic Jazz police I keep hearing about? Careful, or I'll play some Leonard Cohen at you!
	9:16pm Eric Kilkenny: I went to Mike's Drive thru got a shake and then bought a synthesizer hehe
	♥ 9:17pm Rich in Washington: I was once told I was playing too much Jazz and should move to the Drummer stream. Can't win 'em all I suppose.
	9:17pm Eric Kilkenny: Mike's opened a new place on Lombard
	♥ 9:17pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Eric Kilkenny @9:16 as one does
	♥ 9:17pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:16 Okay, I take it back. You want some candy cigarettes?
	9:17pm Dean: Please don't play Leonard Cohen.
	🥁 ♥ 9:18pm ultradamno: The worst thing about SNL is it resulted in Fridays and MadTV
	♥ 9:18pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Dean @9:17 which one shouldn't I play? <eyeballs the CO section of his CDs)
	♥ 9:19pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @9:18 Fridays was awful but had some amazing musical guests as SNL sank into the doldrums of mainstream.
	9:20pm Dean: The one where he sort of mumbles this and that fairly metrically uniformly in a low voice.
	🥁 ♥ 9:20pm coelacanth∅: hey Rich and former lungers
	♥ 9:20pm Rich in Washington: Thanks for being here, everyone. Hope you're having a swell Friday.
	🥁 ♥ 9:20pm ultradamno: Until Belushi put in his last great contributions of being instrumental in getting Fear on network TV...even if he pussed out on participating in the mosh pit.
	♥ 9:20pm Rich in Washington: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:20 Hey coel!
	♥ 9:21pm David Shortell: Does anybody here think there were any good sketch comedy programs on TV in the past half century?
	9:21pm Dean: My synaesthesia reaches at least two artists: Prokovfiev, whose music I taste, and Leonard Cohen's, whose music I smell.
	🥁 ♥ 9:22pm ultradamno: ↳ David Shortell @9:21 Mr Show, Kids In The Hall, so yes.
	♥ 9:22pm Franco Twinkie: If my mind can still travel back to 1970, that part was King Kong played by 12 demented good humor trucks.
	9:22pm Eric Kilkenny: SCTV and Kids in the Hall are still my faves
	♥ 9:22pm Rich in Washington: ↳ David Shortell @9:21 I liked Kids In The Hall and Mr. Show. I know there are others...
	9:22pm Dean: In Living Color, if you exclude the insufferable Jim Carrey, had a handful of good routines. But yeah, if you've ever seen real live improv sketch comedy in action, you know how anemic these television shows can be by comparison.
	♥ 9:23pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Eric Kilkenny @9:22 been binging lots of SCTV on youtube lately
	9:23pm Eric Kilkenny: Hell Yeah!
	♥ 9:23pm Rich in Washington: That Mitchell and Webb Look is really good, as is It's Kevin
	🥁 ♥ 9:23pm ultradamno: The Birthday Boys was a nice stab at aping KITH well after the fact. Didn't last that long, which is often a good thing. Upright Citizens Brigade had its moments
	♥ 9:24pm chresti: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:16 He's taunting the imaginary jazz police
	♥ 9:24pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:23 or here's Kevin? I can't remember. What I've seen of it is really funny.
	♥ 9:24pm Rich in Washington: ↳ chresti @9:24 a jazz taunting! Ought not to be allowed!
	♥ 9:25pm Rich in Washington: This came from an aborted plan to do an all Mothers show because it's Mother's Day weekend.
	9:25pm Eric Kilkenny: have you seen Eggs Tv? www.youtube.com...
	🥁 ♥ 9:25pm ultradamno: One of the more toxic things SNL did was condition producers/writers to look for potential running characters they could (fingers crossed) spin off into very bad movies.
	♥ 9:26pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Eric Kilkenny @9:25 No! Also, you got me hooked on Henry Philips. So goddamn funny! Thank you!
	9:26pm Dean: I'm not even a Zappa fan, but this is spectacular.
	9:26pm Robm: ↳ Dean @9:22 Dean what do you like, man you trashed the original SNL and living color, what do you like?
	9:27pm Eric Kilkenny: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:26 I watched that You and your fucking Coffee and I think that was Mike Judge in the first episode
	♥ 9:27pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Dean @9:26 This is peak Mothers. All very talented. Much more interesting than solo Zappa in my opinion.
	9:27pm Robm: ↳ Dean @9:26 Dean you even don’t like zappa?
	♥ 9:28pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Eric Kilkenny @9:27 You and Your FUcking Coffee was the most relatable series I've ever seen.
	9:29pm Dean: I didn't trash In Living Color. I recommended it as an occasional source of good comedy. I can't bear the medium. Television and film are mistakes in my world. @Robm: Please read what I write. I am not a fan of Zappa, meaning I don't collect his work. But I love this early stuff, and I am a HUGE fan of Crusin' with Ruben & the Jets, among other occasional works of his. I'm just not inclined to plumb his work, when I still have so many other artists whose complete output I want to know.
	🥁 ♥ 9:30pm coelacanth∅: i like some Zappa a lot. the minority,for sure but really like some of it. i think uncle meat is the best album. absolutely free is also excellent, despite how juvenile it is. (and no no, not because of!)
	9:30pm Dean: FWIW, I caught Jean-Luc Ponty in concert.
	9:30pm Robm: ↳ Dean @9:29 Okay fair enough on both counts will go back to lurking dean
	9:30pm Aitch: Going bananas?
	9:31pm Eric Kilkenny: I gotta run an errand but I might catch the tail end of yer show when I get back - cya rich!
	♥ 9:31pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @9:30 Aitch! How're you doing? On the mend?
	♥ 9:31pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Eric Kilkenny @9:31 See ya, pal! Don't buy another synthesizer!
	9:32pm Dean: Thanks for pressing me to clarify, @Robm. So important.
	♥ 9:32pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:30 When we were teenagers, my sister and I we played the hell out of Uncle Meat. Eventually, our mom started whistling some of the melodies when she was doing house work.
	9:33pm Robm: ↳ Dean @9:32 Dean your welcome
	🥁 ♥ 9:33pm ultradamno: He interests me insofar as his adjacent position to Beefheart.
	🥁 ♥ 9:35pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:32 haha-my mom wasn't about to start whistling Zappa tunes!
	9:40pm Dean: Among my fondest memories has been visiting a friend in Fairfield, CT, a Memorial Day Zappa tribute. It was my annual "dose" of Zappa. I cherished it even though he is not among my favorites.
	♥ 9:40pm chresti: I found that SNL was a hoot when I was stoned.
	♥ 9:40pm Franco Twinkie: Kill Ugly Radio!
	🥁 ♥ 9:40pm WR: ↳ Song: "King Kong" by "The Mothers Of Invention" Sounds good, having a live performance not tinkered with by Zappa. I nearly commented earlier that I was somewhat disappointed to learn that Uncle Meat was highly manipulated by Zappa in the studio. I do acknowledge that the studio is a valid instrument but whatever. I'm blathering.
	9:41pm Dean: I say SNL flagged about 20 minutes into the first show. I even wrote a poem to that effect.
	♥ 9:41pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:40 That was the name of my first ever radio show!
	♥ 9:42pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:41 Wow! Or wowie zowie I should say.
	🥁 ♥ 9:44pm Doug Schulkind: My radio appears to be broken. Don't change a thing!
	🥁 ♥ 9:45pm coelacanth∅: i thought snl was funny in it's initial incarnation. maybe just because i was a child. i don't remember the order of departures from the cast but by the early 80s it wasn't worth watching AT ALL. not even reaching the 5% good mark that i was to give Howard Stern a few decades later. i know this because every weekend i'd try to convince the crew to not turn the tv on and every weekend they'd say "i know it's not funny any more, but..." and turn it on.
	♥ 9:45pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Doug Schulkind @9:44 Doug! Howdy!
	♥ 9:46pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Nowheresville" by "Quasi" third time this week I've heard quasi..
	♥ 9:46pm chresti: My ex worked with someone that got hired as an SNL writer- not sure how long that lasted.
	♥ 9:47pm Franco Twinkie: Rich, we missed your debut because we went to a dinner party. There was a small child throwing Tinker Toys all over the place. That alone made it worth it.
	♥ 9:47pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:47 Oh! I love dinner theater!
	🥁 ♥ 9:47pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:31 A fair bit of headphone listening last few days while mending, getting better. SNL free zone over here, we know what it is, but it was never on.
	♥ 9:48pm northguineahills: reads above not sure if i'm hip enough for this comments board
	♥ 9:48pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @9:47 Are there any notable Australian sketch comedy shows you can recommend?
	♥ 9:49pm northguineahills: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:47 the small child was you, wasn't it? (b/c, that's what I would do)
	🥁 ♥ 9:49pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:48 Life Support
	♥ 9:50pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ northguineahills @9:49 No. I know how to behave when food is been presented.
	♥ 9:50pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @9:49 my grandson has grown out of his dinner time Vienna Aktion performance phase and fully into standup. He's a riot.
	🥁 ♥ 9:51pm Aitch: An example. www.youtube.com...
	♥ 9:52pm northguineahills: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:50 how is throwing tinker toys not behaving?
	♥ 9:52pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:50 I love that! I truly enjoy children acting up. It's sullen teenagers that confuse me.
	♥ 9:53pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ northguineahills @9:52 Let me count the ways...
	♥ 9:55pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @9:51 Thanks! I'll check it out tonight!
	♥ 9:58pm northguineahills: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:53 zero is a place holder for a number...
	♥ 10:02pm northguineahills: vicki!
	♥ 10:02pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ northguineahills @9:58 One time I went to a friends house for dinner. His daughter was standing on her chair gargling milk. "MILKY!" she proclaimed loudly then choked and sprayed milk all over everything, then started crying. I was laughing so hard I had to leave the table. That to me, is entertainment.
	♥ 10:02pm northguineahills: ha, i was right. Her sounds are so immediately recognizable!
	♥ 10:03pm northguineahills: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:02 works for me! /my nieces were boring when little, it was either good behavior or tantrum, nothing in between...
	♥ 10:05pm chresti: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:50 Franco's nephew was like that until...he became a sullen teenager
	🥁 ♥ 10:06pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Music Alone" by "People Like Us" I was listening to Abridged Too Far this morning...she's an international treasure
	♥ 10:09pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @10:06 That's the album that got me hooked on her music. So good.
	♥ 10:14pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Tremens (played at 33 1/3)" by "Sonic Youth" Dj olive used to put a beat under that SY track way back in the day...
	♥ 10:15pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @10:14 I think I had the record for months before I realized it was meant to be played at 45 rpms and now I prefer that track at 33 1/3.
	♥ 10:17pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Cannibal (Heart Shape Of The Iron Blade)" by "Pra... reminder to turn my bass up...
	♥ 10:18pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @10:17 My new neighbors are going to hate me, although I've got the bass turned down on my monitor speakers since I've moved.
	10:19pm Dean: Table barf, my version. We took our son to Thanksgiving at the house of friends in Sacramento when he was...3? At table we passed around the goodies. Our son tried the mashed potatoes. Within five or ten minutes he hurled them all over the able. A teenager in attendance proclaimed, "Oooh, gross!" Another artist I generally do not like: Laswell. Saw Fantômas (I think...) at Victo one year. Dreadful.
	🥁 ♥ 10:22pm coelacanth∅: gotta gotu work Thanks Rich tchau
	♥ 10:23pm Rich in Washington: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:22 ciao, baby!
	♥ 10:24pm northguineahills: the first d&b record I ever picked up was bill laswell's Oscillations (1996). Kind of funny since I ended djing a lot of d&b/jungle for the next decade...(it was also my frist bill laswell album)
	♥ 10:26pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @10:24 I was a huge Laswell head when I first started DJing. Also, all that Axiom label stuff was in cutout bins everywhere at the time.
	♥ 10:28pm Rich in Washington: Speaking of which, Bill Laswell could use some help. His health and financial state are in dire situation www.gofundme.com...
	🥁 ♥ 10:30pm Aitch: My axiom stuff also mostly out of bargain bins. I did order/buy the Zillatron CD, that's a wild one.
	♥ 10:31pm northguineahills: I have olive's white label copy of the SYR w/ kim and olive.
	🥁 ♥ 10:31pm WR: You are doing KBOO remote as well?
	🥁 ♥ 10:32pm Aitch: Shame our little pledge-lungs didn't come over with the show change
	10:33pm Dean: I smell Cohen.
	🥁 ♥ 10:33pm WR: Rich's show name change, just another shameless WFMU grab for listener's $$$
	♥ 10:34pm Rich in Washington: ↳ WR @10:33 It's true. I am a money grubbing bastard but I am a money grubbing bastard for WFMU.
	♥ 10:35pm Rich in Washington: ↳ WR @10:31 Yes. I did a show last night, which is why I am very tired.
	10:36pm Dean: Really, no WFMU DJ qua WFMU DJ is by virtue of that fact a money grubbing bastard. Perspective, folks.
	♥ 10:37pm Rich in Washington: I made a shot of espresso before this show started and it fixed me right up.
	♥ 10:37pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @10:36 /s
	♥ 10:38pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Lullabye" by "Evoution Control Committee" I thought i've heard mostly everything from ECC, i guess I was wromg....
	♥ 10:38pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @10:38 this doesn't even appear in their Discogs entry for 'appearances', which is a drag.
	♥ 10:39pm Rich in Washington: I think early ECC when it was the two Gunderson bros.
	♥ 10:40pm Rich in Washington: I don't actually have this cassette, by the way. Rather I got it during a crazy tape torrent download thing years ago but still can't find any more info on this tape, when it actually came out, etc.
	10:40pm Dean: Yeah, no, I get sarcasm. This is why I decline to use the Kenzo-created techno functions for tying threads together. I believe the onus is on us (see what I did there?) to communicate clearly and not leave it to techno tools.
	♥ 10:44pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:38 found it here: rateyourmusic.com... but it has no more info then what you've provided..
	♥ 10:46pm chresti: ↳ Dean @10:40 SM Ken wanted it for reference- also handy for slow and/or impatient keyboardists
	♥ 10:47pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @10:44 Thanks! I also am trawling Archive dot Org as they have tons of weird cassettes there but with poor documentation - like some people are just uploading them and crowdsourcing the info.
	♥ 10:49pm chresti: ↳ chresti @10:46 I know my comment on a song will often appear 20 minutes after I heard it
	🥁 ♥ 10:53pm ultradamno: ↳ chresti @10:46 I like it. Nonsense complaints be damned.
	♥ 10:54pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:47 there's another metadata source out there, but I can't remember off hand.
	♥ 10:55pm Rich in Washington: I find the thread thing very handy as I am often working while listening to shows and rarely reading the comments so it's easy to catch up upon coming into the comments.
	♥ 10:55pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @10:54 I might have to ask Tony Coulter. It's sorta up his alley.
	♥ 10:56pm chresti: cool jiffies
	♥ 10:58pm chresti: Is Rich trying to hypnotize us?
	♥ 10:59pm Rich in Washington: help I can't stop
	🥁 ♥ 11:00pm ultradamno: It's all making me want to hear Television Personalities' I Remember Bridget Riley
	🥁 ♥ 11:03pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:47 you might be interested in some of my friends uploads then, not exactly comps but they do contain a lot of strange and obscure music archive.org...
	♥ 11:03pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @11:03 Thank you! I will check that out for sure! I've been finding lots of great stuff on that site.
	♥ 11:05pm northguineahills: close: musicbrainz.org...
	♥ 11:07pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @11:05 Oh yeah. The Insane Music series is pretty insane. I think Tony's done a few of them.
	♥ 11:09pm northguineahills: Yeah, all avenues just show cassette comps of unknown provenance...
	🥁 ♥ 11:09pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @11:00 A Riley gif to go with it giphy.com...
	♥ 11:10pm chresti: ↳ ultradamno @11:09 Nice one!
	♥ 11:11pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @11:09 thanks!
	🥁 ♥ 11:13pm ultradamno: Though she works in colors on ceilings now...sellout! twitter.com...
	🥁 ♥ 11:13pm pot8o: i wonder if 35 years from now people are going to be treating Bandcamp mp3s the same way we treat those cassettes
	🥁 ♥ 11:14pm ultradamno: I can see a shop full of pre-loaded thumb drives
	♥ 11:15pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @11:14 I still use thumbdrives, especialy now since my commute is so short I don't even want to engage my phone with my BT system in my car.
	🥁 ♥ 11:16pm ultradamno: I use my ipod in my car regularly, esp. after a few times it didn't want to give CDs back in a timely manner
	♥ 11:19pm northguineahills: 1989 seems to be the most likely date...
	♥ 11:20pm northguineahills: ↳ ultradamno @11:16 I somehow skipped an ipod...
	♥ 11:20pm chresti: ↳ ultradamno @11:13 92! Awesome
	♥ 11:24pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Ouroboros is Broken" by "Earth" early Earth! Kurt played this 10 years ago! (may 31, 2013)
	♥ 11:24pm chresti: It takes me longer to recover from lack of sleep- even staying up later is a challenge
	♥ 11:26pm Rich in Washington: ↳ chresti @11:24 Yeah. I just can't do it anymore. I am grateful I don't have to drive to and from the radio station anymore. I would likely fall asleep at the wheel.
	♥ 11:27pm northguineahills: The night before last, was the first good night's sleep I've had in almost five years (7ish hours uninterrupted)
	♥ 11:32pm David Shortell: ↳ northguineahills @9:46 Everytime I search what Janet Weiss is up to, I mostly get replies about the Rocky Horror character.
	♥ 11:33pm Rich in Washington: ↳ David Shortell @11:32 HA!
	♥ 11:35pm doctorjazz: Made it for the home stretch...
	♥ 11:36pm ironybread: "I really don't feel that the satanic message is there"
	🥁 ♥ 11:36pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Satanic Mass (excerpt)" by "Coven" Destroys Minds & Reaps Souls the name of the Klausmeyer tape Kitten sent me
	♥ 11:38pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @11:36 Nice! Love Klausmeyer! Wish he'd make his stuff available. We have Kitten to thank for introducing us to his wonderful music.
	♥ 11:38pm Rich in Washington: ↳ doctorjazz @11:35 Indeed!
	🥁 ♥ 11:40pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:38 The tape ripper I bought tries to find the gaps between tracks, but isn't very good at it. I'll get it sorted and send to you.
	🥁 ♥ 11:45pm WR: OK, work is wrapping up soon, so far you've succeeded in keeping me awake.
	♥ 11:46pm northguineahills: ↳ David Shortell @11:32 hahaha, making your google requests more specific...
	♥ 11:47pm northguineahills: ↳ Aitch @11:40 and then you have tape comps where the tracks are blended together...
	♥ 11:48pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @11:46 That's funny how I never noticed the name similarity before.
	♥ 11:48pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "It Took the Night to Believe" by "Sunn O)))" Samantha played this sunn o)))) 5 years ago...
	♥ 11:52pm northguineahills: I've done that w/ multiple hedfons many, many times...
	♥ 11:54pm chresti: Thanks Rich!
	🥁 ♥ 11:55pm pot8o: thanks rich! have a great week everyone!
	♥ 11:55pm Rich in Washington: Thanks everyone! Thanks for being here and listening and commenting!
	🥁 ♥ 11:56pm WR: Thank you for Being There.
	♥ 11:56pm Rich in Washington: I might go over a tiny bit to play some songs still in my queue.
	♥ 11:57pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Early Mafia" by "Dub Syndicate" me digs the dub syndicate... danks, rich... much fun! gud nacht! DO GO OVER! (you have until 11am edt!)
	11:57pm Mr Fab: Hey Rich n folks! Was watching the Lakers inching towards defeating the Warriors and winning this playoff round (which means nothing to most of you, I’m sure!) whilst listening to the broken radio.
	♥ 11:58pm Franco Twinkie: Great show Rich!
	♥ 11:59pm chresti: I think my first On-U purchase was around 83-84- the New Age Steppers (I think)
	♥ 12:00am Rich in Washington: Hiya Fab
	♥ 12:00am Rich in Washington: Thanks again everyone!
	♥ 12:01am chresti: Go Lakers!
	♥ 12:01am Rich in Washington: ↳ chresti @11:59 New Age Steppers were great

The Radio Is Broken with Rich In Washington: Playlist from May 12, 2023

View Rich in Washington's profile

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

	♥ 8:36pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Eric Kilkenny @7:45 Eric!
	♥ 9:00pm Rich in Washington: Hi everyone!
	🥁 ♥ 9:00pm WR: I'm working a double shift, so you gotta keep me awake for another 3 hours.
	♥ 9:00pm Rich in Washington: ↳ WR @9:00 just don't stare at the graphic too long
	9:01pm Robm: ↳ WR @9:00 @WR bummer hope you can
	🥁 ♥ 9:01pm ultradamno: Rich! Breaker-Breakers!
	9:01pm Don-O: Break away!!
	♥ 9:02pm Rich in Washington: Hi everyone! Having some coffee to take the edge off the sleepies.
	🥁 ♥ 9:03pm pot8o: hi everyone!
	♥ 9:04pm Rich in Washington: the little skips are in the audio file I'm afraid. Argh.
	♥ 9:04pm Webhamster Henry: Hiya Rich!
	♥ 9:04pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @9:03 Hi pot8o!
	♥ 9:04pm chresti: Hi Rich and radio breakers!
	♥ 9:05pm Rich in Washington: Hi Will! Hi chresti! Hi Don-O! Hi Robm! Hi WR! Hi ultra!
	🥁 ♥ 9:05pm FKA Kat in Chicago: Taking a break with Rich!
	9:05pm Dean: I pretty much loathe SNL, pretty much from day one, but this is terrific, due to Morris's real musical theatrical skills. I also can't let go of Aykroyd's sleazy art critic.
	♥ 9:06pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Dean @9:05 Leonard Pinthe-Garnell is my spirit animal
	♥ 9:07pm Rich in Washington: ↳ FKA Kat in Chicago @9:05 FKA Kat!
	9:07pm Dean: If only it had lasted just one episode.
	9:08pm Robm: ↳ Song: "King Kong" by "Tom Waits" Always loved tom waits thanks rich
	🥁 ♥ 9:08pm ultradamno: Everything O'Donoghue did was faultless. I will die on this hill. Even if he was notoriously an abusive dick (see the lampoon doc)
	♥ 9:09pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "King Kong" by "Tom Waits" It wasn't until a while after this came out that I was aware that this was a Daniel Johnston cover.
	🥁 ♥ 9:10pm WR: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:09 Wow, Didn't realize that but now that I am told, I can hear it.
	♥ 9:11pm Rich in Washington: ↳ WR @9:10 I wonder if I have it. I should look. Or not.
	♥ 9:13pm Rich in Washington: Daniel Johnston gave a large pile of CDRs of his music to KBOO when he visited once and a volunteer was slogging away at making CD cases for them (they were a mess. Nothing on the envelopes, etc.) and when the acting Programming Director quit he stuck them all in my mailbox. What to do with them? Just a bunch of CDRs with sharpie titles on them.
	9:13pm Eric Kilkenny: Ello Ello Ello!
	♥ 9:14pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Eric Kilkenny @9:13 Eric! Lovely seeing you in the flesh today!
	9:14pm Dean: The problem with SNL was a combination of bad writing and acting (Belushi? Utterly without talent. Chase?!), and its commanding smarmy "Aren't we special?" attitude (hopelessly parodied by Carvey to the point of exhaustion). I am a huge fan of National Lampoon, but the material simply does not translate to screen.
	9:14pm Eric Kilkenny: Meatspace is the place! Indeed
	♥ 9:15pm Franco Twinkie: Playing King Kong on The Drummer Stream could get you sent right back to Sheena's Jungle Room. IT'S NOT REAL JAZZ, GODDAMN IT!
	♥ 9:15pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Eric Kilkenny @9:14 I ended up buying a bunch of records I probably shouldn't have. Or should have.
	9:15pm Eric Kilkenny: Money well spent!
	🥁 ♥ 9:16pm WR: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:13 A small project but lots of material. When he died the web site had everything back ordered, never did circle back to grab some.
	♥ 9:16pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:15 Franco! Are you the mythic Jazz police I keep hearing about? Careful, or I'll play some Leonard Cohen at you!
	9:16pm Eric Kilkenny: I went to Mike's Drive thru got a shake and then bought a synthesizer hehe
	♥ 9:17pm Rich in Washington: I was once told I was playing too much Jazz and should move to the Drummer stream. Can't win 'em all I suppose.
	9:17pm Eric Kilkenny: Mike's opened a new place on Lombard
	♥ 9:17pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Eric Kilkenny @9:16 as one does
	♥ 9:17pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:16 Okay, I take it back. You want some candy cigarettes?
	9:17pm Dean: Please don't play Leonard Cohen.
	🥁 ♥ 9:18pm ultradamno: The worst thing about SNL is it resulted in Fridays and MadTV
	♥ 9:18pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Dean @9:17 which one shouldn't I play? <eyeballs the CO section of his CDs)
	♥ 9:19pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @9:18 Fridays was awful but had some amazing musical guests as SNL sank into the doldrums of mainstream.
	9:20pm Dean: The one where he sort of mumbles this and that fairly metrically uniformly in a low voice.
	🥁 ♥ 9:20pm coelacanth∅: hey Rich and former lungers
	♥ 9:20pm Rich in Washington: Thanks for being here, everyone. Hope you're having a swell Friday.
	🥁 ♥ 9:20pm ultradamno: Until Belushi put in his last great contributions of being instrumental in getting Fear on network TV...even if he pussed out on participating in the mosh pit.
	♥ 9:20pm Rich in Washington: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:20 Hey coel!
	♥ 9:21pm David Shortell: Does anybody here think there were any good sketch comedy programs on TV in the past half century?
	9:21pm Dean: My synaesthesia reaches at least two artists: Prokovfiev, whose music I taste, and Leonard Cohen's, whose music I smell.
	🥁 ♥ 9:22pm ultradamno: ↳ David Shortell @9:21 Mr Show, Kids In The Hall, so yes.
	♥ 9:22pm Franco Twinkie: If my mind can still travel back to 1970, that part was King Kong played by 12 demented good humor trucks.
	9:22pm Eric Kilkenny: SCTV and Kids in the Hall are still my faves
	♥ 9:22pm Rich in Washington: ↳ David Shortell @9:21 I liked Kids In The Hall and Mr. Show. I know there are others...
	9:22pm Dean: In Living Color, if you exclude the insufferable Jim Carrey, had a handful of good routines. But yeah, if you've ever seen real live improv sketch comedy in action, you know how anemic these television shows can be by comparison.
	♥ 9:23pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Eric Kilkenny @9:22 been binging lots of SCTV on youtube lately
	9:23pm Eric Kilkenny: Hell Yeah!
	♥ 9:23pm Rich in Washington: That Mitchell and Webb Look is really good, as is It's Kevin
	🥁 ♥ 9:23pm ultradamno: The Birthday Boys was a nice stab at aping KITH well after the fact. Didn't last that long, which is often a good thing. Upright Citizens Brigade had its moments
	♥ 9:24pm chresti: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:16 He's taunting the imaginary jazz police
	♥ 9:24pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:23 or here's Kevin? I can't remember. What I've seen of it is really funny.
	♥ 9:24pm Rich in Washington: ↳ chresti @9:24 a jazz taunting! Ought not to be allowed!
	♥ 9:25pm Rich in Washington: This came from an aborted plan to do an all Mothers show because it's Mother's Day weekend.
	9:25pm Eric Kilkenny: have you seen Eggs Tv? www.youtube.com...
	🥁 ♥ 9:25pm ultradamno: One of the more toxic things SNL did was condition producers/writers to look for potential running characters they could (fingers crossed) spin off into very bad movies.
	♥ 9:26pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Eric Kilkenny @9:25 No! Also, you got me hooked on Henry Philips. So goddamn funny! Thank you!
	9:26pm Dean: I'm not even a Zappa fan, but this is spectacular.
	9:26pm Robm: ↳ Dean @9:22 Dean what do you like, man you trashed the original SNL and living color, what do you like?
	9:27pm Eric Kilkenny: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:26 I watched that You and your fucking Coffee and I think that was Mike Judge in the first episode
	♥ 9:27pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Dean @9:26 This is peak Mothers. All very talented. Much more interesting than solo Zappa in my opinion.
	9:27pm Robm: ↳ Dean @9:26 Dean you even don’t like zappa?
	♥ 9:28pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Eric Kilkenny @9:27 You and Your FUcking Coffee was the most relatable series I've ever seen.
	9:29pm Dean: I didn't trash In Living Color. I recommended it as an occasional source of good comedy. I can't bear the medium. Television and film are mistakes in my world. @Robm: Please read what I write. I am not a fan of Zappa, meaning I don't collect his work. But I love this early stuff, and I am a HUGE fan of Crusin' with Ruben & the Jets, among other occasional works of his. I'm just not inclined to plumb his work, when I still have so many other artists whose complete output I want to know.
	🥁 ♥ 9:30pm coelacanth∅: i like some Zappa a lot. the minority,for sure but really like some of it. i think uncle meat is the best album. absolutely free is also excellent, despite how juvenile it is. (and no no, not because of!)
	9:30pm Dean: FWIW, I caught Jean-Luc Ponty in concert.
	9:30pm Robm: ↳ Dean @9:29 Okay fair enough on both counts will go back to lurking dean
	9:30pm Aitch: Going bananas?
	9:31pm Eric Kilkenny: I gotta run an errand but I might catch the tail end of yer show when I get back - cya rich!
	♥ 9:31pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @9:30 Aitch! How're you doing? On the mend?
	♥ 9:31pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Eric Kilkenny @9:31 See ya, pal! Don't buy another synthesizer!
	9:32pm Dean: Thanks for pressing me to clarify, @Robm. So important.
	♥ 9:32pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:30 When we were teenagers, my sister and I we played the hell out of Uncle Meat. Eventually, our mom started whistling some of the melodies when she was doing house work.
	9:33pm Robm: ↳ Dean @9:32 Dean your welcome
	🥁 ♥ 9:33pm ultradamno: He interests me insofar as his adjacent position to Beefheart.
	🥁 ♥ 9:35pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:32 haha-my mom wasn't about to start whistling Zappa tunes!
	9:40pm Dean: Among my fondest memories has been visiting a friend in Fairfield, CT, a Memorial Day Zappa tribute. It was my annual "dose" of Zappa. I cherished it even though he is not among my favorites.
	♥ 9:40pm chresti: I found that SNL was a hoot when I was stoned.
	♥ 9:40pm Franco Twinkie: Kill Ugly Radio!
	🥁 ♥ 9:40pm WR: ↳ Song: "King Kong" by "The Mothers Of Invention" Sounds good, having a live performance not tinkered with by Zappa. I nearly commented earlier that I was somewhat disappointed to learn that Uncle Meat was highly manipulated by Zappa in the studio. I do acknowledge that the studio is a valid instrument but whatever. I'm blathering.
	9:41pm Dean: I say SNL flagged about 20 minutes into the first show. I even wrote a poem to that effect.
	♥ 9:41pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:40 That was the name of my first ever radio show!
	♥ 9:42pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:41 Wow! Or wowie zowie I should say.
	🥁 ♥ 9:44pm Doug Schulkind: My radio appears to be broken. Don't change a thing!
	🥁 ♥ 9:45pm coelacanth∅: i thought snl was funny in it's initial incarnation. maybe just because i was a child. i don't remember the order of departures from the cast but by the early 80s it wasn't worth watching AT ALL. not even reaching the 5% good mark that i was to give Howard Stern a few decades later. i know this because every weekend i'd try to convince the crew to not turn the tv on and every weekend they'd say "i know it's not funny any more, but..." and turn it on.
	♥ 9:45pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Doug Schulkind @9:44 Doug! Howdy!
	♥ 9:46pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Nowheresville" by "Quasi" third time this week I've heard quasi..
	♥ 9:46pm chresti: My ex worked with someone that got hired as an SNL writer- not sure how long that lasted.
	♥ 9:47pm Franco Twinkie: Rich, we missed your debut because we went to a dinner party. There was a small child throwing Tinker Toys all over the place. That alone made it worth it.
	♥ 9:47pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:47 Oh! I love dinner theater!
	🥁 ♥ 9:47pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:31 A fair bit of headphone listening last few days while mending, getting better. SNL free zone over here, we know what it is, but it was never on.
	♥ 9:48pm northguineahills: reads above not sure if i'm hip enough for this comments board
	♥ 9:48pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @9:47 Are there any notable Australian sketch comedy shows you can recommend?
	♥ 9:49pm northguineahills: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:47 the small child was you, wasn't it? (b/c, that's what I would do)
	🥁 ♥ 9:49pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:48 Life Support
	♥ 9:50pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ northguineahills @9:49 No. I know how to behave when food is been presented.
	♥ 9:50pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @9:49 my grandson has grown out of his dinner time Vienna Aktion performance phase and fully into standup. He's a riot.
	🥁 ♥ 9:51pm Aitch: An example. www.youtube.com...
	♥ 9:52pm northguineahills: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:50 how is throwing tinker toys not behaving?
	♥ 9:52pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:50 I love that! I truly enjoy children acting up. It's sullen teenagers that confuse me.
	♥ 9:53pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ northguineahills @9:52 Let me count the ways...
	♥ 9:55pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @9:51 Thanks! I'll check it out tonight!
	♥ 9:58pm northguineahills: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:53 zero is a place holder for a number...
	♥ 10:02pm northguineahills: vicki!
	♥ 10:02pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ northguineahills @9:58 One time I went to a friends house for dinner. His daughter was standing on her chair gargling milk. "MILKY!" she proclaimed loudly then choked and sprayed milk all over everything, then started crying. I was laughing so hard I had to leave the table. That to me, is entertainment.
	♥ 10:02pm northguineahills: ha, i was right. Her sounds are so immediately recognizable!
	♥ 10:03pm northguineahills: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:02 works for me! /my nieces were boring when little, it was either good behavior or tantrum, nothing in between...
	♥ 10:05pm chresti: ↳ Rich in Washington @9:50 Franco's nephew was like that until...he became a sullen teenager
	🥁 ♥ 10:06pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Music Alone" by "People Like Us" I was listening to Abridged Too Far this morning...she's an international treasure
	♥ 10:09pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @10:06 That's the album that got me hooked on her music. So good.
	♥ 10:14pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Tremens (played at 33 1/3)" by "Sonic Youth" Dj olive used to put a beat under that SY track way back in the day...
	♥ 10:15pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @10:14 I think I had the record for months before I realized it was meant to be played at 45 rpms and now I prefer that track at 33 1/3.
	♥ 10:17pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Cannibal (Heart Shape Of The Iron Blade)" by "Pra... reminder to turn my bass up...
	♥ 10:18pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @10:17 My new neighbors are going to hate me, although I've got the bass turned down on my monitor speakers since I've moved.
	10:19pm Dean: Table barf, my version. We took our son to Thanksgiving at the house of friends in Sacramento when he was...3? At table we passed around the goodies. Our son tried the mashed potatoes. Within five or ten minutes he hurled them all over the able. A teenager in attendance proclaimed, "Oooh, gross!" Another artist I generally do not like: Laswell. Saw Fantômas (I think...) at Victo one year. Dreadful.
	🥁 ♥ 10:22pm coelacanth∅: gotta gotu work Thanks Rich tchau
	♥ 10:23pm Rich in Washington: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:22 ciao, baby!
	♥ 10:24pm northguineahills: the first d&b record I ever picked up was bill laswell's Oscillations (1996). Kind of funny since I ended djing a lot of d&b/jungle for the next decade...(it was also my frist bill laswell album)
	♥ 10:26pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @10:24 I was a huge Laswell head when I first started DJing. Also, all that Axiom label stuff was in cutout bins everywhere at the time.
	♥ 10:28pm Rich in Washington: Speaking of which, Bill Laswell could use some help. His health and financial state are in dire situation www.gofundme.com...
	🥁 ♥ 10:30pm Aitch: My axiom stuff also mostly out of bargain bins. I did order/buy the Zillatron CD, that's a wild one.
	♥ 10:31pm northguineahills: I have olive's white label copy of the SYR w/ kim and olive.
	🥁 ♥ 10:31pm WR: You are doing KBOO remote as well?
	🥁 ♥ 10:32pm Aitch: Shame our little pledge-lungs didn't come over with the show change
	10:33pm Dean: I smell Cohen.
	🥁 ♥ 10:33pm WR: Rich's show name change, just another shameless WFMU grab for listener's $$$
	♥ 10:34pm Rich in Washington: ↳ WR @10:33 It's true. I am a money grubbing bastard but I am a money grubbing bastard for WFMU.
	♥ 10:35pm Rich in Washington: ↳ WR @10:31 Yes. I did a show last night, which is why I am very tired.
	10:36pm Dean: Really, no WFMU DJ qua WFMU DJ is by virtue of that fact a money grubbing bastard. Perspective, folks.
	♥ 10:37pm Rich in Washington: I made a shot of espresso before this show started and it fixed me right up.
	♥ 10:37pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @10:36 /s
	♥ 10:38pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Lullabye" by "Evoution Control Committee" I thought i've heard mostly everything from ECC, i guess I was wromg....
	♥ 10:38pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @10:38 this doesn't even appear in their Discogs entry for 'appearances', which is a drag.
	♥ 10:39pm Rich in Washington: I think early ECC when it was the two Gunderson bros.
	♥ 10:40pm Rich in Washington: I don't actually have this cassette, by the way. Rather I got it during a crazy tape torrent download thing years ago but still can't find any more info on this tape, when it actually came out, etc.
	10:40pm Dean: Yeah, no, I get sarcasm. This is why I decline to use the Kenzo-created techno functions for tying threads together. I believe the onus is on us (see what I did there?) to communicate clearly and not leave it to techno tools.
	♥ 10:44pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:38 found it here: rateyourmusic.com... but it has no more info then what you've provided..
	♥ 10:46pm chresti: ↳ Dean @10:40 SM Ken wanted it for reference- also handy for slow and/or impatient keyboardists
	♥ 10:47pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @10:44 Thanks! I also am trawling Archive dot Org as they have tons of weird cassettes there but with poor documentation - like some people are just uploading them and crowdsourcing the info.
	♥ 10:49pm chresti: ↳ chresti @10:46 I know my comment on a song will often appear 20 minutes after I heard it
	🥁 ♥ 10:53pm ultradamno: ↳ chresti @10:46 I like it. Nonsense complaints be damned.
	♥ 10:54pm northguineahills: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:47 there's another metadata source out there, but I can't remember off hand.
	♥ 10:55pm Rich in Washington: I find the thread thing very handy as I am often working while listening to shows and rarely reading the comments so it's easy to catch up upon coming into the comments.
	♥ 10:55pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @10:54 I might have to ask Tony Coulter. It's sorta up his alley.
	♥ 10:56pm chresti: cool jiffies
	♥ 10:58pm chresti: Is Rich trying to hypnotize us?
	♥ 10:59pm Rich in Washington: help I can't stop
	🥁 ♥ 11:00pm ultradamno: It's all making me want to hear Television Personalities' I Remember Bridget Riley
	🥁 ♥ 11:03pm pot8o: ↳ Rich in Washington @10:47 you might be interested in some of my friends uploads then, not exactly comps but they do contain a lot of strange and obscure music archive.org...
	♥ 11:03pm Rich in Washington: ↳ pot8o @11:03 Thank you! I will check that out for sure! I've been finding lots of great stuff on that site.
	♥ 11:05pm northguineahills: close: musicbrainz.org...
	♥ 11:07pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @11:05 Oh yeah. The Insane Music series is pretty insane. I think Tony's done a few of them.
	♥ 11:09pm northguineahills: Yeah, all avenues just show cassette comps of unknown provenance...
	🥁 ♥ 11:09pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @11:00 A Riley gif to go with it giphy.com...
	♥ 11:10pm chresti: ↳ ultradamno @11:09 Nice one!
	♥ 11:11pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @11:09 thanks!
	🥁 ♥ 11:13pm ultradamno: Though she works in colors on ceilings now...sellout! twitter.com...
	🥁 ♥ 11:13pm pot8o: i wonder if 35 years from now people are going to be treating Bandcamp mp3s the same way we treat those cassettes
	🥁 ♥ 11:14pm ultradamno: I can see a shop full of pre-loaded thumb drives
	♥ 11:15pm Rich in Washington: ↳ ultradamno @11:14 I still use thumbdrives, especialy now since my commute is so short I don't even want to engage my phone with my BT system in my car.
	🥁 ♥ 11:16pm ultradamno: I use my ipod in my car regularly, esp. after a few times it didn't want to give CDs back in a timely manner
	♥ 11:19pm northguineahills: 1989 seems to be the most likely date...
	♥ 11:20pm northguineahills: ↳ ultradamno @11:16 I somehow skipped an ipod...
	♥ 11:20pm chresti: ↳ ultradamno @11:13 92! Awesome
	♥ 11:24pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Ouroboros is Broken" by "Earth" early Earth! Kurt played this 10 years ago! (may 31, 2013)
	♥ 11:24pm chresti: It takes me longer to recover from lack of sleep- even staying up later is a challenge
	♥ 11:26pm Rich in Washington: ↳ chresti @11:24 Yeah. I just can't do it anymore. I am grateful I don't have to drive to and from the radio station anymore. I would likely fall asleep at the wheel.
	♥ 11:27pm northguineahills: The night before last, was the first good night's sleep I've had in almost five years (7ish hours uninterrupted)
	♥ 11:32pm David Shortell: ↳ northguineahills @9:46 Everytime I search what Janet Weiss is up to, I mostly get replies about the Rocky Horror character.
	♥ 11:33pm Rich in Washington: ↳ David Shortell @11:32 HA!
	♥ 11:35pm doctorjazz: Made it for the home stretch...
	♥ 11:36pm ironybread: "I really don't feel that the satanic message is there"
	🥁 ♥ 11:36pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Satanic Mass (excerpt)" by "Coven" Destroys Minds & Reaps Souls the name of the Klausmeyer tape Kitten sent me
	♥ 11:38pm Rich in Washington: ↳ Aitch @11:36 Nice! Love Klausmeyer! Wish he'd make his stuff available. We have Kitten to thank for introducing us to his wonderful music.
	♥ 11:38pm Rich in Washington: ↳ doctorjazz @11:35 Indeed!
	🥁 ♥ 11:40pm Aitch: ↳ Rich in Washington @11:38 The tape ripper I bought tries to find the gaps between tracks, but isn't very good at it. I'll get it sorted and send to you.
	🥁 ♥ 11:45pm WR: OK, work is wrapping up soon, so far you've succeeded in keeping me awake.
	♥ 11:46pm northguineahills: ↳ David Shortell @11:32 hahaha, making your google requests more specific...
	♥ 11:47pm northguineahills: ↳ Aitch @11:40 and then you have tape comps where the tracks are blended together...
	♥ 11:48pm Rich in Washington: ↳ northguineahills @11:46 That's funny how I never noticed the name similarity before.
	♥ 11:48pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "It Took the Night to Believe" by "Sunn O)))" Samantha played this sunn o)))) 5 years ago...
	♥ 11:52pm northguineahills: I've done that w/ multiple hedfons many, many times...
	♥ 11:54pm chresti: Thanks Rich!
	🥁 ♥ 11:55pm pot8o: thanks rich! have a great week everyone!
	♥ 11:55pm Rich in Washington: Thanks everyone! Thanks for being here and listening and commenting!
	🥁 ♥ 11:56pm WR: Thank you for Being There.
	♥ 11:56pm Rich in Washington: I might go over a tiny bit to play some songs still in my queue.
	♥ 11:57pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Early Mafia" by "Dub Syndicate" me digs the dub syndicate... danks, rich... much fun! gud nacht! DO GO OVER! (you have until 11am edt!)
	11:57pm Mr Fab: Hey Rich n folks! Was watching the Lakers inching towards defeating the Warriors and winning this playoff round (which means nothing to most of you, I’m sure!) whilst listening to the broken radio.
	♥ 11:58pm Franco Twinkie: Great show Rich!
	♥ 11:59pm chresti: I think my first On-U purchase was around 83-84- the New Age Steppers (I think)
	♥ 12:00am Rich in Washington: Hiya Fab
	♥ 12:00am Rich in Washington: Thanks again everyone!
	♥ 12:01am chresti: Go Lakers!
