	🎸 ♥ 9:08pm Aitch: snot
	♥ 9:08pm Barno in Akron: How do you do, fellow kids?
	♥ 9:10pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Barno in Akron @9:08 Awesome. Been drawing and writing.
	🎸 ♥ 9:10pm Austin Rich: Thanks for joining me this week everyone! Most of this stuff is pretty new to me, too. Hopefully we can have some fun, and learn a little, too.
	🎸 ♥ 9:13pm Aitch: all sounding very nasty, I think I'm going to love it.
	♥ 9:14pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:10 Gonna be awesome
	🎸 ♥ 9:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Aitch @9:13 That was my thinking, too. It's a nearly 3000 song collection, spread out over 100 "albums." It's a lot of stuff... I'm just scratching the surface.
	🎸 ♥ 9:15pm WR: what was the website / blog that did the series, interested to look at what they included. Even it the site is gone, should be able to browse some of it via archive.org.
	♥ 9:15pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Who remembers Liquid Sky?
	🎸 ♥ 9:16pm Aitch: ↳ Austin Rich @9:14 like listening to wfmu in general
	🎸 ♥ 9:16pm Austin Rich: This blog, which seems to be active FOR NOW, is the re-constituted version of the blog, that was first around about 10 years ago.
	🎸 ♥ 9:16pm Austin Rich: disorderareyouexperienced.blogspot.com...
	🎸 ♥ 9:16pm Aitch: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:15 you're nothing , you're nothing , you're nobody...
	🎸 ♥ 9:17pm Austin Rich: (And this guy has a ton of other links to other stuff, not just this series. A really dedicated music blogger.)
	🎸 ♥ 9:17pm WR: ↳ Austin Rich @9:16 thank you!
	9:17pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "Punk Police" by "Fancy Rosy" the lesson we are learning is yes, women in punk are underrepresented. Hello Fancy Rosie!
	♥ 9:18pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: What if they did a punk version of old musicals?
	9:18pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:16 my work computer is blocking that site. PUNK POLICING in action
	🎸 ♥ 9:19pm Aitch: ↳ laurapanic @9:18 It's all in French!
	🎸 ♥ 9:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:17 I tried to do my best in that regard, and I did find a number of artists I had never heard of before. But if you want more women in punk, this is the comp series you want: kangnave.blogspot.com...
	🎸 ♥ 9:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:18 Makes sense. It is some random blog from Europe. Hopefully you can dig around at home?
	9:20pm Geoff-U: Wow, this collection of songs is amazing! Your turntable wrist is going to be sore after 2 hours of 1:30 long songs haha
	♥ 9:20pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Austin, didn't I send you that song by Edge of Etiquette?
	🎸 ♥ 9:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:20 I can't remember. You did send me a some songs, but I can't recall offhand.
	🎸 ♥ 9:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @9:20 Right? This is where a computer is helpful.
	🎸 ♥ 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:18 That is also hilarious, and we shoudl write a song about it.
	♥ 9:22pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:21 It was I Hate You the complete version
	🎸 ♥ 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:22 Oh, right! Yes, thank you!
	9:23pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:19 oh I am well versed in women in punk - its kinda my brand round here.
	9:23pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Pank" by "Nina Hagen Band" One of my all -time favorites
	🎸 ♥ 9:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Pank" by "Nina Hagen Band" I appreciate that, in English or in German, Nina Hagen is a force to be reconed with.
	9:24pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:22 collab would be fun anyhow!
	♥ 9:25pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Just imagining a group called Punky Python doing a song called Dead Bloody Parrot.
	🎸 ♥ 9:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:25 I'm actually surprised that name hasn't been taken yet! That's fantastic.
	9:27pm Mr. X: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:15 Liquid Sky is a wild ride. I have it on DVD.
	♥ 9:27pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Chorus: Its dead dead dead, bird is bloody dead.
	🎸 ♥ 9:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:23 Mr. X! I just noticed you were in the chat. Thanks for popping in. It makes sense that you would have Liquid Sky. Your collection is pretty excellent.
	🎸 ♥ 9:28pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Punk-A-Rama" by "Venus & The Razorblades" Punk self-promotion?
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm Aitch: ↳ Mr. X @9:27 is it next to your rhythm-box?
	9:30pm Mr. X: ↳ Aitch @9:30 Me. Me and my. Me and my rhythm box.
	9:31pm laurapanic: here come the ladies, woo hoooo. We are all just lousy punks
	♥ 9:31pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Awesome show.
	♥ 9:32pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Appropriate chaos
	9:35pm laurapanic: its a great project they have done collecting all this punk ephemera, its tops
	♥ 9:36pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ laurapanic @9:31 In music we might not get too much rep, but there always Tank Girl comics.
	9:37pm Mr. X: Words of wisdom from Darby Crash.
	9:39pm Mr. X: I had a pogo stick when I was 12.
	♥ 9:39pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I Go Pogo.
	🎸 ♥ 9:41pm Austin Rich: I'm on the "young" side, so when I was coming up in the early '90's, punk was pretty well established. So I was mostly trying to play catch-up, and there was so much stuff out that was relatively current, so finding old stuff was hard. (And this was pre-internet, so you couldn't just search it.) So a collection like this is what I always dreamed of: a roadmap to stuff that I knew was out there, but just couldn't find.
	9:41pm laurapanic: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:36 and much more - I've been involved with zine and underground comix...I have a nice little collection of comix by women creators or with women as protagonists
	🎸 ♥ 9:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:39 I had one, too. I was never good at it, but my brother wasn't too bad.
	9:42pm Mr. X: "I just call it rock and roll.": Isn't that from Decline and Fall of Western Civilization?
	🎸 ♥ 9:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:42 Yes! It's the interview with a street kid, Eugene, I think?
	♥ 9:42pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:41 There was one site called the source that had limited information
	9:43pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:42 I thought it sounded familiar.
	🎸 ♥ 9:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:43 I used to love dropping samples from that movie onto mix tapes.
	9:45pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:44 It is eminently sample-able.
	🎸 ♥ 9:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:45 I sample that line, "I swear to god, I hate cops, to the max..." quite often.
	9:46pm Mr. X: Finland has produced way more than its share of punk and metal bands.
	9:46pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:46 LOL, nice.
	🎸 ♥ 9:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:46 They must have a social program for it, or something. That sounds like Finland.
	9:50pm ramencity: Any Maltese punk? The ska of Lichtenstein?
	9:51pm Mr. X: To combat those long, dark, cold winter nights, they've established The Finnish Ministry of Doom and Angst to fund and promote musical expression by the malcontents of society.
	🎸 ♥ 9:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:50 I don't think so... but the next "Once Upon A Time" show is exclusively international acts, so maybe I'll dig some up between now and then?
	9:52pm ramencity: Mod nuns of the Vatican?
	♥ 9:52pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Imagine a musical fusion called Pulnka.
	9:52pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Punk Rock Star" by "John Vomit & The Leatherscabs" Lovely name, John Vomit & The Leatherscabs.
	9:52pm ramencity: Polkacide! It exists!
	🎸 ♥ 9:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:52 I think that band was called, "Polkacide."
	♥ 9:53pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:52 Cool
	🎸 ♥ 9:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:52 Jinx! I owe you a coke.
	🎸 ♥ 9:55pm Austin Rich: They even have a remedial wiki page: en.wikipedia.org...
	🎸 ♥ 9:57pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:52 This will be all I'll dream about for the next several weeks.
	♥ 9:58pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: 32 years. Impressive
	🎸 ♥ 10:00pm Austin Rich: There's also "Duckmandu," the punk accordionist, Aaron Seeman, who plays accordion in a few punk bands, and solo. He's actually a very good musician, but usually only plays accordion at shows. en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 10:00pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Any punk bagpipes?
	🎸 ♥ 10:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:00 The Real McKenzies!
	10:01pm ramencity: punk contrabassoon?
	🎸 ♥ 10:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:00 en.wikipedia.org...
	🎸 ♥ 10:01pm WR: Browsing that disorderareyouexperienced blog find that there is a Johnny Moped doc that I've not seen. Don't remember knowing it existed but I forget a lot of stuff.
	🎸 ♥ 10:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:01 That was your instrument, right?
	🎸 ♥ 10:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @10:01 There's so much stuff on that blog... still just getting my berrings...
	♥ 10:02pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:00 Other than vuvuzelas are there any instruments punk rockers won't twist into their ultimate weapons?
	🎸 ♥ 10:08pm Heather Z: Been pogoing while doing a jigsaw puzzle the past hour! Mostly lead to just spilling the pieces on the floor and stomping on them, if I'm being honest.
	♥ 10:09pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:02 Sounds a little like Rockin Robin
	🎸 ♥ 10:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:02 Nothing comes to mind, but when I find the digerie-doo punk band, I'll rest easy.
	🎸 ♥ 10:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:08 Nice to see you pogoing in the chat, Heather!
	🎸 ♥ 10:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Forever Punk" by "KBO!" Here's our token Serbian inclusion for The Ramen City Kid!
	10:11pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "Forever Punk" by "KBO!" Oh man - my friend Slavko used to sing this song all the time!!
	🎸 ♥ 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:11 It's amazing! I'm sad I didn't have a copy of this song sooner. It would have been on so many mixes.
	🎸 ♥ 10:12pm WR: The tunes about the pogo you find on this series is just a small slice of what exists when you consider that the compiler generally only included one or just a few songs from each band so often the song chosen for inclusion was not their pogo offering.
	10:13pm Mr Fab: Hey, Austin listening and pogoing. I never heard of these compilations. That is, I’ve never seen it in stores. Is it vinyl? CDs? Online?
	♥ 10:13pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:10 Closest I can find is Incubus
	🎸 ♥ 10:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @10:12 I was thinking about that... how this is just the tip of the iceberg.
	10:13pm Mr. X: So were most of these released on vinyl 7-inch? I'm just thinking of all these punkers spending their life savings getting a small run of their single pressed, only to be lost in obscurity.
	10:13pm Mr Fab: Also: is this ripping off the “killed by death“ series? Or there’s no overlap?
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:13 Just some online blogger, a French person, apparently. All digitized from their personal collection.
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm WR: ↳ Mr Fab @10:13 online Mr Fab, and everything I've tried to DL DLs OK.
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:13 As I understand it: most of this came from singles and albums.
	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:13 There's a fair amount of overlap, but also, stuff that each series has that the other doesn't... so they're both worth checking out.
	10:16pm Mr Fab: Ah! Great, will have to look for him. I wonder if it features any of (Sheena’s own) Don Bolles’ or Mike Roger‘s previous employers?
	🎸 ♥ 10:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:16 45 Grave and the Rotters on in this series, somewhere. It's pretty comprehensive... but also... has some omissions.
	10:19pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "The Punk" by "Cherry Vanilla" Right on, I love this cherry vanilla album!
	♥ 10:20pm drowsy: Ooh that New England volume has Nervous Eaters and Lyres, Real Kids, etc. (and GG Allin but whatevz). Thanks Austin for this show.
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ drowsy @10:20 drowsy! Thanks for droppin' in! Gotta love The Real Kids!
	🎸 ♥ 10:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ drowsy @10:20 It's funny: that first GG Allin album is pretty good... and the quality drops off with each successive album.
	♥ 10:23pm drowsy: true! the Allin brothers had some chops and then something cracked.
	♥ 10:27pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Just wondering, Austin, what you think of the pianist playing Mollie Darling in the pub scene in Lost Christobel.
	🎸 ♥ 10:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "King Of Punk" by "David Peel & The Death-o-lettes" David Peel is a very curious artist. He had a 50 year career, starting in the late 60's as a street / folk artists who wrote about smoking pot and hating cops. John Lennon became a fan, and they hung out a ton while Lennon was a live. Then punk happened, and because he was so couter-culture, his music was sort of co-opted by the early punks. He capitalized on this with a series of songs embracing it.
	🎸 ♥ 10:28pm WR: ↳ Song: "King Of Punk" by "David Peel & The Death-o-lettes" Ha, David Peel was pretty OG if the same David Peel that had an album, I think in Elektra.
	🎸 ♥ 10:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:27 That could work. Let's try it!
	10:30pm Mr. X: ↳ WR @10:28 I was wondering if it was that same David Peel. Wasn't his band called Lower East Side or some such?
	🎸 ♥ 10:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:30 He changed the name almost every album.
	10:31pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:31 Ah! Figures.
	♥ 10:31pm drowsy: ↳ Song: "King Of Punk" by "David Peel & The Death-o-lettes" I love the sludgyness of this one.
	🎸 ♥ 10:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ drowsy @10:31 SUPER lo fi.
	10:33pm Mr. X: I feel like I am listening to Modern Mono again somehow.
	♥ 10:33pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:32 Punk could be called "de-fi"
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm WR: You questioned about back announcing last week. If you have nothing to say besides the artist name and song title, feh, why do that. But if you have anything that might add context to the material, then yes yes, My two cents.
	♥ 10:41pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Beyond the sky
	♥ 10:42pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:28 Peel sometimes played at the Brighton Bar (RIP), which he called the CBGB of NJ.
	10:43pm laurapanic: ↳ Heather Z @10:08 my kinda fun
	♥ 10:43pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Walt Kelly singing Gogo Pogo. Not punk but would have been a wonderfully ironic addition.
	🎸 ♥ 10:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:42 I didn't know that! He really sounds like a character.
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:43 Walk Kelly is pretty magical, in general.
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:43 Heather knows how to party.
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm WR: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:43 Yes! I Go Pogo!
	🎸 ♥ 10:45pm Austin Rich: I was just looking at a Walt Kelly collection of his Fairy Tales today. I almost bought it... maybe tomorrow, if it's still there.
	10:48pm ramencity: TIL Chris Spedding was one of the Wombles
	🎸 ♥ 10:49pm Heather Z: ↳ laurapanic @10:43 It will surprise no one that the puzzle is a pic of Bowie. So I've respectfully picked up all the pieces and am now resting. Because these old knees can't pogo like they used to!
	♥ 10:49pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:45 Just got Fairy Tale Parade Complete Collection for $2.99
	🎸 ♥ 10:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:48 That is... odd.
	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:49 Every time I think of David Bowie, I think of you. And Labryinth.
	10:51pm Mr. X: When I lived in France in '82, I was housemates with a French punk. I thought it was hilarious when he asked his mommy to sew studs onto his leather jacket. Such a tough guy.
	🎸 ♥ 10:51pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:50 That makes me so glad!!
	🎸 ♥ 10:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:51 Ha! That is priceless!
	🎸 ♥ 10:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Sabre Dance" by "Classy Punk" This is the first time I've heard a punk cover of the Sabre Dance.... and I'm sad that I could have been listening to this every day for years now... Sigh.
	🎸 ♥ 10:54pm Heather Z: ↳ Mr. X @10:51 Aww... that's kind of sweet. My mommy never would have sewed studs on my jacket. And she would have yelled at me for wanting studs on my leather jacket.
	10:54pm ramencity: ↳ Austin Rich @10:53 That's funny - I was just listening to a Hungarian surf version of Flight of the Bumblebee before tuning in
	10:54pm laurapanic: ↳ Mr. X @10:51 punks need mums too
	♥ 10:54pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I'm glad I was able to st awake for the show
	10:56pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:53 I've always been fond of this version by the Dutch prog band Ekseption. www.youtube.com...
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:54 Those punk moms never get enough cred for knowing the difference between Green Day and Pinhead Gunpowder.
	10:57pm Mr. X: ↳ Heather Z @10:54 LOL. It's true, Jerome was just a sweet boy. But he wouldn't want anyone to say so.
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: My parents never commented on anything rock and roll... but Hip Hop was really frowned upon. I suspect I would have never been told "no," but all my parents were vocal about hating rap and hip-hop.
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: Gonna go over by 10-ish or so minutes... sorry!
	10:59pm ramencity: ↳ Austin Rich @10:58 punk
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:59 No schedule can tell me what to do! Only Mr. Fab!
	♥ 11:00pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:58 Oh my breaking the rules in a show about punk. Very appropriate
	🎸 ♥ 11:00pm Heather Z: ↳ Mr. X @10:57 Most all the punks I know are real sweeties. Not all but most. In Rochester, we all front tough so that's just normal here. I do remember my mom seeing my friend Josh where he worked. At Borders Books. Yes, this was a punk teen working at the bookstore. She said, "Heather, I know you say he's nice. But the way he looks scares me!" Ah, mom.
	🎸 ♥ 11:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @11:00 You can tell it was Borders, because there was no dress code. That wouldn't happen at Barnes & Noble back in the day...
	🎸 ♥ 11:05pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @11:02 I tried to get a job at both but no... they wouldn't have me! So I ended up at Book Express, the cut rate place in the strip mall. It's where I belonged.
	🎸 ♥ 11:05pm WR: coming to a head, like a big pimple.
	♥ 11:08pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Aussie punk
	11:08pm Mr Fab: Punk you very much, Austin!
	🎸 ♥ 11:09pm WR: No US or UK punk, plenty other out there. Thank you for opening the door on this. Laters all.
	11:09pm ramencity: punkin' ey
	🎸 ♥ 11:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @11:08 "And may punk be with you, too."
	11:09pm Geoff-U: Thanks for the great show!
	🎸 ♥ 11:09pm Heather Z: Terrific show, Austin! Have a great night, everyone!
	🎸 ♥ 11:10pm Austin Rich: Thanks for hangin' out everyone! This was a blast to turn the stereo up a little louder than normal, and worry the cats for a few minutes until they get distracted.
	11:11pm Mr. X: Excellent choices tonight, Austin. Thanks for the fun!
	11:11pm laurapanic: wooohoo
	🎸 ♥ 11:11pm Austin Rich: I should probably listen to The Tubes more often. Note to self.
	11:12pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @11:11 they are very cool
	🎸 ♥ 11:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @11:12 There are so many cool things... it's hard to remember them all. But I try!
	11:13pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "White Punks on Dope" by "The Tubes" Nina Hagens cover of this is pretty similar, and powerful.
	11:13pm laurapanic: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @11:08 so much! Perro Caliente plays Aussie stuff, as does Alex on Shake Some Action
	11:14pm laurapanic: ↳ laurapanic @11:13 Perro plays more indie rock, but a lot of Aussie, and sometimes Alex should rename his show to Shake Aussie Action. His show is terrific
	🎸 ♥ 11:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @11:13 I think X (the Australian one) will appear on the show soon.
	11:14pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @11:14 aaaah yes

	🎸 ♥ 9:15pm WR: what was the website / blog that did the series, interested to look at what they included. Even it the site is gone, should be able to browse some of it via archive.org.
	♥ 9:15pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Who remembers Liquid Sky?
	🎸 ♥ 9:16pm Aitch: ↳ Austin Rich @9:14 like listening to wfmu in general
	🎸 ♥ 9:16pm Austin Rich: This blog, which seems to be active FOR NOW, is the re-constituted version of the blog, that was first around about 10 years ago.
	🎸 ♥ 9:16pm Austin Rich: disorderareyouexperienced.blogspot.com...

	🎸 ♥ 9:17pm WR: ↳ Austin Rich @9:16 thank you!
	9:17pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: "Punk Police" by "Fancy Rosy" the lesson we are learning is yes, women in punk are underrepresented. Hello Fancy Rosie!
	♥ 9:18pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: What if they did a punk version of old musicals?
	9:18pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:16 my work computer is blocking that site. PUNK POLICING in action
	🎸 ♥ 9:19pm Aitch: ↳ laurapanic @9:18 It's all in French!
	🎸 ♥ 9:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:17 I tried to do my best in that regard, and I did find a number of artists I had never heard of before. But if you want more women in punk, this is the comp series you want: kangnave.blogspot.com...
	🎸 ♥ 9:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:18 Makes sense. It is some random blog from Europe. Hopefully you can dig around at home?
	9:20pm Geoff-U: Wow, this collection of songs is amazing! Your turntable wrist is going to be sore after 2 hours of 1:30 long songs haha
	♥ 9:20pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Austin, didn't I send you that song by Edge of Etiquette?
	🎸 ♥ 9:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:20 I can't remember. You did send me a some songs, but I can't recall offhand.
	🎸 ♥ 9:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @9:20 Right? This is where a computer is helpful.
	🎸 ♥ 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:18 That is also hilarious, and we shoudl write a song about it.
	♥ 9:22pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:21 It was I Hate You the complete version
	🎸 ♥ 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:22 Oh, right! Yes, thank you!
	9:23pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:19 oh I am well versed in women in punk - its kinda my brand round here.
	9:23pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Pank" by "Nina Hagen Band" One of my all -time favorites
	🎸 ♥ 9:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Pank" by "Nina Hagen Band" I appreciate that, in English or in German, Nina Hagen is a force to be reconed with.
	9:24pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:22 collab would be fun anyhow!
	♥ 9:25pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Just imagining a group called Punky Python doing a song called Dead Bloody Parrot.
	🎸 ♥ 9:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:25 I'm actually surprised that name hasn't been taken yet! That's fantastic.
	9:27pm Mr. X: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:15 Liquid Sky is a wild ride. I have it on DVD.
	♥ 9:27pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Chorus: Its dead dead dead, bird is bloody dead.
	🎸 ♥ 9:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:23 Mr. X! I just noticed you were in the chat. Thanks for popping in. It makes sense that you would have Liquid Sky. Your collection is pretty excellent.
	🎸 ♥ 9:28pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Punk-A-Rama" by "Venus & The Razorblades" Punk self-promotion?
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm Aitch: ↳ Mr. X @9:27 is it next to your rhythm-box?
	9:30pm Mr. X: ↳ Aitch @9:30 Me. Me and my. Me and my rhythm box.
	9:31pm laurapanic: here come the ladies, woo hoooo. We are all just lousy punks
	♥ 9:31pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Awesome show.
	♥ 9:32pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Appropriate chaos
	9:35pm laurapanic: its a great project they have done collecting all this punk ephemera, its tops
	♥ 9:36pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ laurapanic @9:31 In music we might not get too much rep, but there always Tank Girl comics.
	9:37pm Mr. X: Words of wisdom from Darby Crash.
	9:39pm Mr. X: I had a pogo stick when I was 12.
	♥ 9:39pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I Go Pogo.
	🎸 ♥ 9:41pm Austin Rich: I'm on the "young" side, so when I was coming up in the early '90's, punk was pretty well established. So I was mostly trying to play catch-up, and there was so much stuff out that was relatively current, so finding old stuff was hard. (And this was pre-internet, so you couldn't just search it.) So a collection like this is what I always dreamed of: a roadmap to stuff that I knew was out there, but just couldn't find.
	9:41pm laurapanic: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:36 and much more - I've been involved with zine and underground comix...I have a nice little collection of comix by women creators or with women as protagonists
	🎸 ♥ 9:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:39 I had one, too. I was never good at it, but my brother wasn't too bad.
	9:42pm Mr. X: "I just call it rock and roll.": Isn't that from Decline and Fall of Western Civilization?
	🎸 ♥ 9:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:42 Yes! It's the interview with a street kid, Eugene, I think?
	♥ 9:42pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:41 There was one site called the source that had limited information
	9:43pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:42 I thought it sounded familiar.
	🎸 ♥ 9:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:43 I used to love dropping samples from that movie onto mix tapes.
	9:45pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:44 It is eminently sample-able.
	🎸 ♥ 9:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:45 I sample that line, "I swear to god, I hate cops, to the max..." quite often.
	9:46pm Mr. X: Finland has produced way more than its share of punk and metal bands.
	9:46pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:46 LOL, nice.
	🎸 ♥ 9:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:46 They must have a social program for it, or something. That sounds like Finland.
	9:50pm ramencity: Any Maltese punk? The ska of Lichtenstein?
	9:51pm Mr. X: To combat those long, dark, cold winter nights, they've established The Finnish Ministry of Doom and Angst to fund and promote musical expression by the malcontents of society.
	🎸 ♥ 9:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:50 I don't think so... but the next "Once Upon A Time" show is exclusively international acts, so maybe I'll dig some up between now and then?
	9:52pm ramencity: Mod nuns of the Vatican?
	♥ 9:52pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Imagine a musical fusion called Pulnka.
	9:52pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Punk Rock Star" by "John Vomit & The Leatherscabs" Lovely name, John Vomit & The Leatherscabs.
	9:52pm ramencity: Polkacide! It exists!
	🎸 ♥ 9:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:52 I think that band was called, "Polkacide."
	♥ 9:53pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:52 Cool
	🎸 ♥ 9:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:52 Jinx! I owe you a coke.
	🎸 ♥ 9:55pm Austin Rich: They even have a remedial wiki page: en.wikipedia.org...
	🎸 ♥ 9:57pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:52 This will be all I'll dream about for the next several weeks.
	♥ 9:58pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: 32 years. Impressive
	🎸 ♥ 10:00pm Austin Rich: There's also "Duckmandu," the punk accordionist, Aaron Seeman, who plays accordion in a few punk bands, and solo. He's actually a very good musician, but usually only plays accordion at shows. en.wikipedia.org...
	♥ 10:00pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Any punk bagpipes?
	🎸 ♥ 10:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:00 The Real McKenzies!
	10:01pm ramencity: punk contrabassoon?
	🎸 ♥ 10:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:00 en.wikipedia.org...
	🎸 ♥ 10:01pm WR: Browsing that disorderareyouexperienced blog find that there is a Johnny Moped doc that I've not seen. Don't remember knowing it existed but I forget a lot of stuff.
	🎸 ♥ 10:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:01 That was your instrument, right?
	🎸 ♥ 10:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @10:01 There's so much stuff on that blog... still just getting my berrings...
	♥ 10:02pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:00 Other than vuvuzelas are there any instruments punk rockers won't twist into their ultimate weapons?
	🎸 ♥ 10:08pm Heather Z: Been pogoing while doing a jigsaw puzzle the past hour! Mostly lead to just spilling the pieces on the floor and stomping on them, if I'm being honest.
	♥ 10:09pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:02 Sounds a little like Rockin Robin
	🎸 ♥ 10:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:02 Nothing comes to mind, but when I find the digerie-doo punk band, I'll rest easy.
	🎸 ♥ 10:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:08 Nice to see you pogoing in the chat, Heather!
	🎸 ♥ 10:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Forever Punk" by "KBO!" Here's our token Serbian inclusion for The Ramen City Kid!
	10:11pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "Forever Punk" by "KBO!" Oh man - my friend Slavko used to sing this song all the time!!
	🎸 ♥ 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:11 It's amazing! I'm sad I didn't have a copy of this song sooner. It would have been on so many mixes.
	🎸 ♥ 10:12pm WR: The tunes about the pogo you find on this series is just a small slice of what exists when you consider that the compiler generally only included one or just a few songs from each band so often the song chosen for inclusion was not their pogo offering.
	10:13pm Mr Fab: Hey, Austin listening and pogoing. I never heard of these compilations. That is, I’ve never seen it in stores. Is it vinyl? CDs? Online?
	♥ 10:13pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:10 Closest I can find is Incubus
	🎸 ♥ 10:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @10:12 I was thinking about that... how this is just the tip of the iceberg.
	10:13pm Mr. X: So were most of these released on vinyl 7-inch? I'm just thinking of all these punkers spending their life savings getting a small run of their single pressed, only to be lost in obscurity.
	10:13pm Mr Fab: Also: is this ripping off the “killed by death“ series? Or there’s no overlap?
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:13 Just some online blogger, a French person, apparently. All digitized from their personal collection.
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm WR: ↳ Mr Fab @10:13 online Mr Fab, and everything I've tried to DL DLs OK.
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:13 As I understand it: most of this came from singles and albums.
	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:13 There's a fair amount of overlap, but also, stuff that each series has that the other doesn't... so they're both worth checking out.
	10:16pm Mr Fab: Ah! Great, will have to look for him. I wonder if it features any of (Sheena’s own) Don Bolles’ or Mike Roger‘s previous employers?
	🎸 ♥ 10:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:16 45 Grave and the Rotters on in this series, somewhere. It's pretty comprehensive... but also... has some omissions.
	10:19pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "The Punk" by "Cherry Vanilla" Right on, I love this cherry vanilla album!
	♥ 10:20pm drowsy: Ooh that New England volume has Nervous Eaters and Lyres, Real Kids, etc. (and GG Allin but whatevz). Thanks Austin for this show.
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ drowsy @10:20 drowsy! Thanks for droppin' in! Gotta love The Real Kids!
	🎸 ♥ 10:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ drowsy @10:20 It's funny: that first GG Allin album is pretty good... and the quality drops off with each successive album.
	♥ 10:23pm drowsy: true! the Allin brothers had some chops and then something cracked.
	♥ 10:27pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Just wondering, Austin, what you think of the pianist playing Mollie Darling in the pub scene in Lost Christobel.
	🎸 ♥ 10:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "King Of Punk" by "David Peel & The Death-o-lettes" David Peel is a very curious artist. He had a 50 year career, starting in the late 60's as a street / folk artists who wrote about smoking pot and hating cops. John Lennon became a fan, and they hung out a ton while Lennon was a live. Then punk happened, and because he was so couter-culture, his music was sort of co-opted by the early punks. He capitalized on this with a series of songs embracing it.
	🎸 ♥ 10:28pm WR: ↳ Song: "King Of Punk" by "David Peel & The Death-o-lettes" Ha, David Peel was pretty OG if the same David Peel that had an album, I think in Elektra.
	🎸 ♥ 10:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:27 That could work. Let's try it!
	10:30pm Mr. X: ↳ WR @10:28 I was wondering if it was that same David Peel. Wasn't his band called Lower East Side or some such?
	🎸 ♥ 10:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:30 He changed the name almost every album.
	10:31pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:31 Ah! Figures.
	♥ 10:31pm drowsy: ↳ Song: "King Of Punk" by "David Peel & The Death-o-lettes" I love the sludgyness of this one.
	🎸 ♥ 10:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ drowsy @10:31 SUPER lo fi.
	10:33pm Mr. X: I feel like I am listening to Modern Mono again somehow.
	♥ 10:33pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:32 Punk could be called "de-fi"
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm WR: You questioned about back announcing last week. If you have nothing to say besides the artist name and song title, feh, why do that. But if you have anything that might add context to the material, then yes yes, My two cents.
	♥ 10:41pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Beyond the sky
	♥ 10:42pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:28 Peel sometimes played at the Brighton Bar (RIP), which he called the CBGB of NJ.
	10:43pm laurapanic: ↳ Heather Z @10:08 my kinda fun
	♥ 10:43pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Walt Kelly singing Gogo Pogo. Not punk but would have been a wonderfully ironic addition.
	🎸 ♥ 10:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:42 I didn't know that! He really sounds like a character.
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:43 Walk Kelly is pretty magical, in general.
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:43 Heather knows how to party.
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm WR: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:43 Yes! I Go Pogo!
	🎸 ♥ 10:45pm Austin Rich: I was just looking at a Walt Kelly collection of his Fairy Tales today. I almost bought it... maybe tomorrow, if it's still there.
	10:48pm ramencity: TIL Chris Spedding was one of the Wombles
	🎸 ♥ 10:49pm Heather Z: ↳ laurapanic @10:43 It will surprise no one that the puzzle is a pic of Bowie. So I've respectfully picked up all the pieces and am now resting. Because these old knees can't pogo like they used to!
	♥ 10:49pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:45 Just got Fairy Tale Parade Complete Collection for $2.99
	🎸 ♥ 10:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:48 That is... odd.
	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:49 Every time I think of David Bowie, I think of you. And Labryinth.
	10:51pm Mr. X: When I lived in France in '82, I was housemates with a French punk. I thought it was hilarious when he asked his mommy to sew studs onto his leather jacket. Such a tough guy.
	🎸 ♥ 10:51pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:50 That makes me so glad!!
	🎸 ♥ 10:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:51 Ha! That is priceless!
	🎸 ♥ 10:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Sabre Dance" by "Classy Punk" This is the first time I've heard a punk cover of the Sabre Dance.... and I'm sad that I could have been listening to this every day for years now... Sigh.
	🎸 ♥ 10:54pm Heather Z: ↳ Mr. X @10:51 Aww... that's kind of sweet. My mommy never would have sewed studs on my jacket. And she would have yelled at me for wanting studs on my leather jacket.
	10:54pm ramencity: ↳ Austin Rich @10:53 That's funny - I was just listening to a Hungarian surf version of Flight of the Bumblebee before tuning in
	10:54pm laurapanic: ↳ Mr. X @10:51 punks need mums too
	♥ 10:54pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I'm glad I was able to st awake for the show
	10:56pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:53 I've always been fond of this version by the Dutch prog band Ekseption. www.youtube.com...
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:54 Those punk moms never get enough cred for knowing the difference between Green Day and Pinhead Gunpowder.
	10:57pm Mr. X: ↳ Heather Z @10:54 LOL. It's true, Jerome was just a sweet boy. But he wouldn't want anyone to say so.
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: My parents never commented on anything rock and roll... but Hip Hop was really frowned upon. I suspect I would have never been told "no," but all my parents were vocal about hating rap and hip-hop.
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: Gonna go over by 10-ish or so minutes... sorry!
	10:59pm ramencity: ↳ Austin Rich @10:58 punk
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:59 No schedule can tell me what to do! Only Mr. Fab!
	♥ 11:00pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:58 Oh my breaking the rules in a show about punk. Very appropriate
	🎸 ♥ 11:00pm Heather Z: ↳ Mr. X @10:57 Most all the punks I know are real sweeties. Not all but most. In Rochester, we all front tough so that's just normal here. I do remember my mom seeing my friend Josh where he worked. At Borders Books. Yes, this was a punk teen working at the bookstore. She said, "Heather, I know you say he's nice. But the way he looks scares me!" Ah, mom.
	🎸 ♥ 11:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @11:00 You can tell it was Borders, because there was no dress code. That wouldn't happen at Barnes & Noble back in the day...
	🎸 ♥ 11:05pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @11:02 I tried to get a job at both but no... they wouldn't have me! So I ended up at Book Express, the cut rate place in the strip mall. It's where I belonged.
	🎸 ♥ 11:05pm WR: coming to a head, like a big pimple.
	♥ 11:08pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Aussie punk
	11:08pm Mr Fab: Punk you very much, Austin!
	🎸 ♥ 11:09pm WR: No US or UK punk, plenty other out there. Thank you for opening the door on this. Laters all.
	11:09pm ramencity: punkin' ey
	🎸 ♥ 11:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @11:08 "And may punk be with you, too."
	11:09pm Geoff-U: Thanks for the great show!
	🎸 ♥ 11:09pm Heather Z: Terrific show, Austin! Have a great night, everyone!
	🎸 ♥ 11:10pm Austin Rich: Thanks for hangin' out everyone! This was a blast to turn the stereo up a little louder than normal, and worry the cats for a few minutes until they get distracted.
	11:11pm Mr. X: Excellent choices tonight, Austin. Thanks for the fun!
	11:11pm laurapanic: wooohoo
	🎸 ♥ 11:11pm Austin Rich: I should probably listen to The Tubes more often. Note to self.
	11:12pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @11:11 they are very cool
	🎸 ♥ 11:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @11:12 There are so many cool things... it's hard to remember them all. But I try!
	11:13pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "White Punks on Dope" by "The Tubes" Nina Hagens cover of this is pretty similar, and powerful.
	11:13pm laurapanic: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @11:08 so much! Perro Caliente plays Aussie stuff, as does Alex on Shake Some Action
	11:14pm laurapanic: ↳ laurapanic @11:13 Perro plays more indie rock, but a lot of Aussie, and sometimes Alex should rename his show to Shake Aussie Action. His show is terrific
	🎸 ♥ 11:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @11:13 I think X (the Australian one) will appear on the show soon.
	11:14pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @11:14 aaaah yes
