WFMU: Mid-Valley Mutations with Austin Rich: Playlist from May 14, 2024

Listener comments!
	🎸 ♥ 5:12pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	♥ 9:00pm Imaginos: Ahoy!
	🎸 ♥ 9:01pm Krys O.: Howdy! A little Denver is nice.
	🎸 ♥ 9:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:00 Lovely to see you! Thanks for gatherin' 'round the campfire.
	🎸 ♥ 9:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:01 I never gave him a fair shake as a youth. But he hits the spot now and then.
	♥ 9:02pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:01 Always a pleasant experience. Hanging out with you and the Frontier Gentleman
	🎸 ♥ 9:04pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @9:01 I learned how to use my brother's turntable playing John Denver albums. Also learned how to put the records back in the sleeve properly to avoid said brother's ire.
	9:04pm ramencity: Take me home, exurban roads...
	♥ 9:08pm Imaginos: I wonder what Sheena will think when we do Lost Christobel
	♥ 9:09pm Imaginos: Rum punch and jerky.
	🎸 ♥ 9:12pm Austin Rich: I think I will have a tuna melt and some tater tots for dinner. And maybe some dried mangos for dessert.
	9:13pm ramencity: oh man I've been craving tuna melts lately.. bon appetit!
	♥ 9:13pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:12 Excellent choice
	🎸 ♥ 9:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:13 I like to add extra tomato and spinach.
	🎸 ♥ 9:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Blues From A Gun" by "Jesus & Mary Chain" As I get older, I realize there's so many dumb things I do, when I could be listening to Jesus and Mary Chain instead. I'm trying to change that, but there's only so many hours in the day.
	🎸 ♥ 9:25pm Austin Rich: WHoops! Looks like the stream lost connection for a second. Sorry about that!
	🎸 ♥ 9:25pm Krys O.: Thanks, Austin! G'night, all!
	🎸 ♥ 9:25pm Austin Rich: HOW IN THE HOLY LIVING EARL IS IT ALREADY MAY. Sorry... that just slipped out...
	🎸 ♥ 9:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:25 Sleep well, Krys O.
	🎸 ♥ 9:28pm Austin Rich: "Voices can fool ya." Even voice actors who are on the show every week and are suddenly trying out a new one.
	9:29pm ramencity: ↳ Austin Rich @9:28 or a "British newspaper man" who sounds like Robert Mitchum
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Guts" by "John Cale" I never listened to any of the solo John Cale albums for some reason. Improper schooling as a youth, I suspect. They're not bad. I'm not sure I recommend them for everyone, but I'm starting to get into them, for sure.
	🎸 ♥ 9:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:29 The same actor will sometimes do two voices in the same show, and it's painful how easy it is to tell he's the same actor doing two voices.
	9:33pm ramencity: From "sacks of gold" to Goldman Sachs!
	🎸 ♥ 9:38pm Austin Rich: Having the nickname "Clem" in the Old west must be like calling someone "John Doe."
	🎸 ♥ 9:39pm Austin Rich: Fred Cole?
	🎸 ♥ 9:40pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Let's Go Riding" by "Mr. Freddie" I am having a hard time realizing I was excited to go and see this movie over 20 years ago. That math feels wrong, even if it is correct.
	🎸 ♥ 9:44pm Austin Rich: A Driver named Driver. That does seem like it happens now and then in the old west.
	♥ 9:45pm Imaginos: Getting sleepy.
	🎸 ♥ 9:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:45 Thanks for comin' out to the campfire! I'll see ya next time.
	9:49pm Barno (from Akron): How do you do, fellow kids?
	9:49pm ramencity: I think the sheriff is really Yul Brynner from Westworld
	🎸 ♥ 9:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ Barno (from Akron) @9:49 Thanks for joining us, Barno!
	🎸 ♥ 9:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:49 That would be amazing! You should have written this show.
	9:51pm ramencity: I know! I've got Robert Mitchum and Yul Brynner already. Paul Simonon can play the Shirtless Sailor
	🎸 ♥ 9:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:51 He seems to get cast as that a lot in your movies.
	9:52pm Barno (from Akron): Taking my son to work, listening from the car. Misses Barno is driving :)
	🎸 ♥ 9:53pm Austin Rich: It's the whole family! Have a good drive.
	9:55pm ramencity: This story is getting kinda Christopher-Walken-in-Pulp-Fiction-y with the pocket watch and all
	9:56pm Barno (from Akron): Thanks, Austin! It’s a fun show, tonight!
	🎸 ♥ 9:57pm Austin Rich: So far, The Frontier Gentleman has run into Jesse James, Wild Bill, Calamity Jane, and came close to meeting a few other old west celebrities. There's a sort of Forest Gump quality to the Frontier Gentleman's tales.
	🎸 ♥ 9:57pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:55 Ha! Again, you should have done the final edit on this story. I think your ideas are better.
	🎸 ♥ 9:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ Barno (from Akron) @9:56 I think I'm almost half-way through the Frontier Gentleman stories? Might finish them next year.
	10:00pm ramencity: Follow Blind - very underrated album
	🎸 ♥ 10:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Next Time" by "The Wipers" I think this is the only Wipers album I don't have an LP of? I should double check before I order it later.
	🎸 ♥ 10:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:00 I think I'm still listening to a copy you made for me. All their albums have bright spots and good songs.
	🎸 ♥ 10:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "James Gang" by "The Billy Nayer Show" I don't know why, but this band has the hook-iest songs, and that just stick in my mind. I'll be singing this for weeks now.
	10:11pm ramencity: ↳ Austin Rich @10:08 Have I forced you to watch American Astronaut yet?
	🎸 ♥ 10:12pm Austin Rich: I may have talked about this before, but The Frontier Gentleman aired weekly, between February and November. Some weeks the show would get pre-empted, but only a few times. I believe there were two occasions that the show repeated a previous story. Otherwise, the show ran weekly, and had a "loose" ongoing story. This is the only "two-part" story that I remember in this run of shows, but most of the episodes reference something from a previous episode, even if the plot doesn't hinge on it.
	🎸 ♥ 10:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:11 I've seen it a couple times, but I don't think we've seen it together. I'm glad you have a copy! It's hard to come by these days.
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:12 Oh: in 1958. February to November, 1958.
	10:16pm ramencity: ↳ Austin Rich @10:13 (The) Billy Nayer (Show) did the music for American Astronaut too
	🎸 ♥ 10:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Shanghai Surprise" by "The Rondelles" 20 + years later, I still listen to this record all the time, and it still rules. Played it just the other day - again - after picking out this song for this show.
	🎸 ♥ 10:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:16 I know! That was the appeal for me, originally. A girl I dated for a few months made me a tape with some BNS songs on it, and while the girl is long gone, the tape lingers on...
	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm Austin Rich: The way both this story (and the previous) use the "sound" of the voices as identifying marks not only makes sense in the story, but makes sense for an all-audio medium.
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm Austin Rich: It seems as if we had a stream interruption again. Sorry about that. I will make sure that a pristine copy of this show is uploaded to the archive.
	10:21pm Barno (from Akron): Thanks for the kind words, Austin! I had stepped out of the car at that part of the show - but Misses Barno heard it 🙂
	🎸 ♥ 10:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Barno (from Akron) @10:21 There's always the archive. "The Akron Arsenal" is often busy.
	10:23pm Arvo: Just saying howdy, walking home from the movie show.
	🎸 ♥ 10:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:23 Mr. Zylo! Thanks for poppin' in.
	🎸 ♥ 10:26pm Austin Rich: I have a feeling that The Frontier Gentleman CAN take off the ear of his choice at five paces, given his previously illustrated accuracy. I think he's just toying with these guys.
	🎸 ♥ 10:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "The Men In Black" by "Sun City Girls" One of the smartest things I did, in the Soulseek era of file sharing, was systematically download all the Sun City Girls releases. Mostly because there are a million of them, and that would cost a lot of money to buy. I do pick up a CD when I find them, but finding their records for sale "in the wild" is very rare.
	🎸 ♥ 10:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:23 What film did you see?
	🎸 ♥ 10:37pm Austin Rich: "10 minutes to recover consciousness." <Slap Slap Slap> Was he slapping his friend for 10 minutes?
	♥ 10:44pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Police and High Sheriff Come Ridin' Down" by "Oll... I wonder if that record Crumb's holding is the same one he talked about in this story: matsgus.com... matsgus.com...
	🎸 ♥ 10:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:44 I recall enjoying that story when I read it. (It's been years since I read through a ton of Crumb.) I should revisit.
	🎸 ♥ 10:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Point and Shoot" by "Yo La Tengo" One of the Rules of WFMU: There's a Yo La Tengo song for EVERY occasion.
	♥ 10:49pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @9:40 I had to drive an hour to Montclair to see it when it opened. I'm guessing that song wasn't in the movie. Terry Zwigoff provided some 78s from his own collection to pad out the soundtrack album.
	🎸 ♥ 10:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:49 I recall reading some interviews back when it came out. I worked at Barnes & Noble in those days, and a co-worker was a comics nerd, so we were both stoked on "Ghost World," and say it together, even. (I ended up seeing it twice, the second time on a date.) I liked it then, I think I'd like it now. Maybe I'll look at it again.
	♥ 10:52pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Waiting Room" by "Holly Golightly" I miss the Holly of this period. I wish she'd give up her current Americana routine with the Brokeoffs.
	🎸 ♥ 10:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Drats!!! (I Missed It Again) / Real Life Frogger"... One of my fave PDX bands that I got to see a few times. The singer is currently in Nasalrod, another great PDX band.
	🎸 ♥ 10:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:52 I'm with you. I'm not sure everyone has to have an "Americana" period, as tempting as it is.
	🎸 ♥ 10:54pm Austin Rich: I think we're gonna go over by a few minutes. I'm wondering if I should add a third hour to my show, just to avoid this problem?
	🎸 ♥ 10:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Drats!!! (I Missed It Again) / Real Life Frogger"... These are two songs on the album, and they really are separate. But I sort of think of them in tandem, and there's hardly any break between the tracks on the album.
	10:58pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:28 I saw The Challengers, which was actually not as bad as I thought it would be. Decent soundtrack too. Sorry for the delay.
	10:59pm Arvo: Have a good night!
	11:04pm ramencity: Bon soir compadres!
	🎸 ♥ 11:04pm Austin Rich: Thanks everyone! See ya next time.
	11:04pm ramencity: Adios mes petits choux!
	🎸 ♥ 11:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Jesse James" by "The Pogues" Due to an old roommate who only listened to The Pogues, Nomeansno, and Nick Cave, on endless repeat, it took me years to really give The Pogues a chance. When I can play them, when I want to, they are very enjoyable! What a great band. I apologize for doing that to any particular album for any previous roommate.
	♥ 11:08pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Jesse James" by "The Pogues" That doesn't sound to me like Shane singing.
	🎸 ♥ 11:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @11:08 It might not have been. I'm no expert, but I was sort of thinking that myself.

Mid-Valley Mutations with Austin Rich: Playlist from May 14, 2024

View austinrich's profile

A combination of collage, new experimental records and other bits and bobs, Mid-Valley Mutations is a tour through the mind of Austin Rich, who has been broadcasting in some form since 1998. Heavily influenced by Dr Demento, Don Joyce and old fashioned College Radio, Austin creates Audio Essays on a variety of subjects, and even just plays records, from time to time. Sometimes Live music and Interviews will grace the program, helping create a situation where you don't really know what you're going to hear, when you tune in. What you need to know is when you enter the Mid-Valley region, be prepared for the Musical Mutations... in whatever form they take.

	🎸 ♥ 10:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:23 Mr. Zylo! Thanks for poppin' in.
	🎸 ♥ 10:26pm Austin Rich: I have a feeling that The Frontier Gentleman CAN take off the ear of his choice at five paces, given his previously illustrated accuracy. I think he's just toying with these guys.
	🎸 ♥ 10:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "The Men In Black" by "Sun City Girls" One of the smartest things I did, in the Soulseek era of file sharing, was systematically download all the Sun City Girls releases. Mostly because there are a million of them, and that would cost a lot of money to buy. I do pick up a CD when I find them, but finding their records for sale "in the wild" is very rare.
	🎸 ♥ 10:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:23 What film did you see?
	🎸 ♥ 10:37pm Austin Rich: "10 minutes to recover consciousness." <Slap Slap Slap> Was he slapping his friend for 10 minutes?
	♥ 10:44pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Police and High Sheriff Come Ridin' Down" by "Oll... I wonder if that record Crumb's holding is the same one he talked about in this story: matsgus.com... matsgus.com...
	🎸 ♥ 10:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:44 I recall enjoying that story when I read it. (It's been years since I read through a ton of Crumb.) I should revisit.
	🎸 ♥ 10:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Point and Shoot" by "Yo La Tengo" One of the Rules of WFMU: There's a Yo La Tengo song for EVERY occasion.
	♥ 10:49pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @9:40 I had to drive an hour to Montclair to see it when it opened. I'm guessing that song wasn't in the movie. Terry Zwigoff provided some 78s from his own collection to pad out the soundtrack album.
	🎸 ♥ 10:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:49 I recall reading some interviews back when it came out. I worked at Barnes & Noble in those days, and a co-worker was a comics nerd, so we were both stoked on "Ghost World," and say it together, even. (I ended up seeing it twice, the second time on a date.) I liked it then, I think I'd like it now. Maybe I'll look at it again.
	♥ 10:52pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Waiting Room" by "Holly Golightly" I miss the Holly of this period. I wish she'd give up her current Americana routine with the Brokeoffs.
	🎸 ♥ 10:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Drats!!! (I Missed It Again) / Real Life Frogger"... One of my fave PDX bands that I got to see a few times. The singer is currently in Nasalrod, another great PDX band.
	🎸 ♥ 10:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:52 I'm with you. I'm not sure everyone has to have an "Americana" period, as tempting as it is.
	🎸 ♥ 10:54pm Austin Rich: I think we're gonna go over by a few minutes. I'm wondering if I should add a third hour to my show, just to avoid this problem?
	🎸 ♥ 10:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Drats!!! (I Missed It Again) / Real Life Frogger"... These are two songs on the album, and they really are separate. But I sort of think of them in tandem, and there's hardly any break between the tracks on the album.
	10:58pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:28 I saw The Challengers, which was actually not as bad as I thought it would be. Decent soundtrack too. Sorry for the delay.
	10:59pm Arvo: Have a good night!
	11:04pm ramencity: Bon soir compadres!
	🎸 ♥ 11:04pm Austin Rich: Thanks everyone! See ya next time.
	11:04pm ramencity: Adios mes petits choux!
	🎸 ♥ 11:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Jesse James" by "The Pogues" Due to an old roommate who only listened to The Pogues, Nomeansno, and Nick Cave, on endless repeat, it took me years to really give The Pogues a chance. When I can play them, when I want to, they are very enjoyable! What a great band. I apologize for doing that to any particular album for any previous roommate.
	♥ 11:08pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Jesse James" by "The Pogues" That doesn't sound to me like Shane singing.
	🎸 ♥ 11:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @11:08 It might not have been. I'm no expert, but I was sort of thinking that myself.
