	9:09pm Charles: I've got water buckets!
	🎸 ♥ 9:10pm Austin Rich: For anyone new to a Robot Radio Revolution: please, keep listening to your radio for further instructions! We will not leave you hanging!
	🎸 ♥ 9:12pm Austin Rich: We'll probably need lots of supplies, Charles. Water, dried and rehydratable food. And something that can confuse the processing power of the average droid.
	🎸 ♥ 9:13pm Aitch: hide their batteries
	9:13pm ramencity: I was just listening to some old Wipers show on youtube while "working" and heard this ad-lib in "No Fair": "Every time you turn around, Reagan's there..." Looking forward to the all-songs-about-Reagan edition of the show!
	9:14pm Mr. X: I'm an undercover agent for the robots.
	🎸 ♥ 9:14pm Austin Rich: ramencitykid! Nice to see you!
	🎸 ♥ 9:14pm Austin Rich: We're gonna have to keep an eye on Mr. X.
	9:15pm ramencity: I pretend to work for the robots, but I'm secretly a double-agent for the baby sea-turtles
	🎸 ♥ 9:15pm Krys O.: Sounds like George Carlin as the cab driver.
	🎸 ♥ 9:16pm Austin Rich: Ha!
	🎸 ♥ 9:16pm Austin Rich: When you're flying in deep space with just one other person, you should make sure that both of you can repair the ship, in the event one of you gets hurt. (And that's one to grow on.)
	9:17pm Charles: Quick! Someone ask him about a thought paradox! Ship of Theseus, chicken or the egg, anything!
	🎸 ♥ 9:17pm Krys O.: Vo-tech schools are extremely important now and in the future.
	🎸 ♥ 9:18pm Austin Rich: ramencitykid: I know we had a "People Who Died" show were were gonna do, and now the all-Reagan songs show. Any other shows we've forgotten to do?
	9:19pm Pax: What about talking some cpt Kirk computer confusing logic at the droids to blow there circuits.
	♥ 9:19pm Pauly from Clifton: Hey Austin, folks! Thanks for the cook-out tunes!
	9:19pm Rich in Kitchengton: I'm having breakfast for dinner. Groovy show tonight, Austin!
	9:19pm Mr. X: Impossible to surpass the eloquence of the Solenoid Robots on Roger Ramjet, when they said "Buzz. Click."
	🎸 ♥ 9:20pm Austin Rich: Good idea, Pax! Are you good at that stuff?
	🎸 ♥ 9:20pm Austin Rich: Rich & Pauly: Good Hello!
	🎸 ♥ 9:20pm Austin Rich: Marsten, Marsten, Marsten!
	🎸 ♥ 9:21pm Krys O.: @Mr. X: My sibs and I would say, Buzz, Click sometimes to each other. It was in our lexicon. :)
	9:21pm Charles: This is giving me good ideas for pet names.
	9:22pm Mr. X: Nice, Krys O.
	🎸 ♥ 9:22pm Austin Rich: I think there's some new-old Blue Faces recordings that have recently come out, on Kill Pop Tarts. We'll be getting into more of that stuff when I air the Dead Air Fresheners interview I recorded a few weeks back.
	9:22pm ramencity: @Charles - funny, I didn't know the 'ship of Theseus' paradox, but there was one in a movie I just watched (the hatchet at the beginning of "John Dies in the End"). Uh... plate of shrimp!
	🎸 ♥ 9:25pm Austin Rich: "Who's Dantro?"
	9:26pm Mr. X: Dave's not here, man.
	9:26pm Mr. X: Who's on first.
	🎸 ♥ 9:26pm Austin Rich: Mr. X: You beat me to it!
	🎸 ♥ 9:28pm Austin Rich: Whoever it is who so sweetly "fave-star's" all my picks: you are a adorable, and I love you.
	9:29pm Andrew Bunny: Good hello, friends. Glad I could listen this week!
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm Austin Rich: Nice you see you in the chat, Andrew Bunny!
	9:30pm Mr. X: A lot of people confuse B-9 from Lost in Space with Robbie the Robot who first appeared on Forbidden Planet, and was featured on many other movies and TV shows (including Lost in Space alongside B-9.)
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm Austin Rich: In total, I saw Motörhead four times, and they were fantastic every time. My only regret: I could have seen them more, and didn't.
	9:31pm Andrew Bunny: Hi Austin! Still deciding what I'm going to submit to yr zine! Looking forward to you & Univac on Sunday!
	🎸 ♥ 9:31pm Krys O.: Time for me to hit the sack. Cheers, all!
	🎸 ♥ 9:32pm Austin Rich: Oh yeah! I was working on that script today, Andrew Bunny. It's gonna be minimal, but comparison to the last few efforts. I might play improvised bass the whole time?
	♥ 9:32pm Scott67: Austin bringin' the heat mate! I can see a Call & Response happenin when I finally get my Shit Show on the air! 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	🎸 ♥ 9:32pm Austin Rich: Good Night, Krys O!
	9:32pm Andrew Bunny: As a fellow bassist, I approve!
	🎸 ♥ 9:33pm Aitch: I didn't realise he ws B9? Great name, benign. I just thought he was Robot
	🎸 ♥ 9:33pm Austin Rich: I'm into that, Scott67!
	♥ 9:33pm Scott67: Seeya Krys! Thanks mate!✌️😎🤙
	9:33pm Andrew Bunny: ANDROID SISTERS!!!!! I have this CD! Originally from Ruby Galactic Gumshoe on ZBS!
	♥ 9:34pm Pauly from Clifton: Austin, I saw Motorhead just as many times and could have gone to more shows, but didn't. I have the same regret with thee Ramones.
	9:34pm Mr. X: The Android Sisters make my brain feel good.
	9:35pm Charles: Oh no the android sisters are making me question everything I know!
	♥ 9:35pm Scott67: More importantly Pauly, waddidya barbie up mate? 🍻😎🤙💨🍺🍗🥩🍖🦐🦐♨️
	9:36pm Andrew Bunny: Do Androids dream of electric sheep? Yes, we dream of you!
	9:36pm Pax: Nighty night Krys O, I know you got to get up early to catch that 29 bus.
	9:37pm Heather: You were right, Austin! I now have a giant crush on The Android Sisters!!
	🎸 ♥ 9:39pm Austin Rich: The Android Sisters are the best.
	9:39pm Heather: Wait, being wary is what we're supposed to be doing? I'm sunk.
	♥ 9:39pm Pauly from Clifton: Scotty, barbied some corn on the cob and snausages! No rain this evening, so enjoying tunes, beers, and foods! Cheers, mate!
	🎸 ♥ 9:40pm Austin Rich: I still think Gaytheist is one of the best band names ever.
	9:40pm Pax: @Scott67: Will "My Shit Show" be the actual official name of your show?
	9:41pm Mr. X: How cheap was your first toy robot? What could it do? How sharp were its edges and how many choking hazards fell off of it?
	9:41pm Mr Fab: Gaytheist is indeed a great name. I'd send em on a tour of Red States.
	🎸 ♥ 9:42pm Kat in Chicago: Beat Happening <3
	🎸 ♥ 9:42pm Austin Rich: I'm not sure they're still together, but I had them on my show back in the day / interview too, and they were the sweetest guys. They were really adamant about making metal more queer. Their shows were really fun.
	🎸 ♥ 9:43pm Austin Rich: There's probably a Beat Happening song for every occasion.
	9:46pm Mr. X: I squirm a little and smirk when people pronounce it "robuts."
	🎸 ♥ 9:46pm Austin Rich: Servotron was one of my favorite bands of all time. I think about these songs all the time. They were amazing.
	9:46pm Andrew Bunny: Looks like Gaytheist are on Bandcamp and still around! https://gaytheist.bandcamp.com
	🎸 ♥ 9:47pm Austin Rich: Oh good! Those guys are so fun.
	🎸 ♥ 9:49pm Austin Rich: I think this "Single-Mindedness" collection might have been a WFMU premium at one point. I can't remember how I got it, but certainly I enjoy it a lot. Anyone know about this one?
	♥ 9:51pm Scott67: Pax, Title is to be decided, but the Show itself IS just me talkin shit & playin shit I like mate. Wouldn't wanna compete with Don-O's Hour of Crap with that name.
	🎸 ♥ 9:51pm Kat in Chicago: IS THERE NO ESCAPE
	9:52pm Pax: @Mr.X: just thinking the same thing about to pronunciation of Robuts. To take one step further I morph it into 'Robutts'
	♥ 9:52pm Scott67: Cheers Pauly! Chuck me a Snag willya mate? 🍻🤙😎💨🍺
	🎸 ♥ 9:52pm Austin Rich: All that noise... I can't hear the music!
	9:53pm Mr. X: @Pax: As in "Kiss my shiny metal ass!"
	9:53pm Andrew Bunny: No other possibility!
	🎸 ♥ 9:53pm Austin Rich: They have a pretty good new, updated version of this song that the band has been playing at live shows lately. It's very au currant, and pretty funny.
	♥ 9:53pm Pauly from Clifton: Scott, chucking ya a snag and cold lager! Heads up!
	🎸 ♥ 9:54pm Austin Rich: I get this "Break Out Tonight" riff stuck in my head sometimes.
	🎸 ♥ 9:54pm Kat in Chicago: Yeah I saw their NYC show and they dropped it in there
	9:55pm Pax: @Mr.X: Hah, didn't Bender from Futurama use to say that.
	🎸 ♥ 9:56pm Austin Rich: I have a long, storied career of missing Negativland shows that I could have gone to, but missed for a variety of reasons. So I've been trying to make up for it by opening for them, and running their merch at the NW shows.
	♥ 9:57pm Scott67: My pants just got tight!👖
	9:58pm Pax: @Pauly fC: just what is a snag?
	♥ 9:59pm Scott67: 💨🍺🌭🖐️😎 Cheers Pauly!!
	🎸 ♥ 9:59pm Austin Rich: Don't be so L 7 7.
	♥ 10:01pm Scott67: I'm not a Consumer, but I do require EVERY Killed By Death comp! I start from Zero!! 🍻😎🤙☠️
	🎸 ♥ 10:02pm Austin Rich: Those Killed By Death comps are ESSENTIAL. All of them have some very cool stuff on them.
	♥ 10:02pm Pauly from Clifton: Pax, sausage!
	🎸 ♥ 10:02pm coelacanth∅: greetings Austin Rich and mutations
	🎸 ♥ 10:02pm Aitch: or a sensitive new age guy
	🎸 ♥ 10:03pm Austin Rich: Good Hello, coelacanthø, Pauly, and others I've missed!
	10:03pm Pax: I never understood why all the super intelligent AI robots and machines are always so cryptic.
	♥ 10:04pm Scott67: Thanks Pauly, I grow weary of translating Slang & the Metric System. When google is at our finger tips. 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	♥ 10:05pm Scott67: Pax, jokin mate! It's all the joy of Human interaction mate! 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	10:06pm Andrew Bunny: @pax, I figure if they're super-intelligent, they'd speak to us quite snark-like, very slowly, and strained. Like French Canadian's speak to me when I'd visit Montreal...
	10:06pm Mr. X: It's so cool how robots always have built-in reverb.
	🎸 ♥ 10:07pm Aitch: The robot overlords will ultimately be undone by legions of teenagers that have borrowed their charging cables thus rendering them powerless
	🎸 ♥ 10:07pm Austin Rich: Being cryptic is just their way of trying to keep us on our toes. We start assuming they're smart, but they're just messing with us. Robots are actually jerks.
	♥ 10:07pm Scott67: I try to avoid grilled Sensitive New Ages Guys. I used to binge. But now I find they disagree with me. & end up given me th shits!
	10:08pm Mr Fab: "In a robot revolution, self-care is very important." If this was a broadcast station, I think that would satisfy the public service announcement requirement.
	🎸 ♥ 10:08pm Austin Rich: I think Supercharger aren't as well remembered as they should be.
	🎸 ♥ 10:08pm Austin Rich: What can I say, Mr. Fab? I'm just an old radio pro, I guess?
	🎸 ♥ 10:10pm Austin Rich: Oh, I remember: whoever was talking about seeing the Ramones: I REALLY regret not seeing them, in spite of the NUMEROUS times I could have. Same for Thinking Fellers. I think I could have seen them a few times, and just never did .
	10:15pm Andrew Bunny: I still kick myself for never seeing Zappa when I had the chances. "Oh, he'll be back next year..."
	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm Austin Rich: I did an interview with Michael Pilmer, who works for Devo in a number of capacities, and he was very proud of his work on helping get these Hardcore Devo albums released.
	10:16pm Pax: @Scott67: no worries, I've been accused of not being the sharpest knife in the drawer many of time, sort of speak. And I'm not! I have a realistic view of myself. And I know it's done in fun. and besides as they say; don't sweat the small stuff. Cheers
	🎸 ♥ 10:16pm Austin Rich: I like this era of Devo, because they sound a little more like the Residents, and less like their future sound. I still love later Devo stuff, but this early stuff is just so weird and wonderful.
	10:16pm Mr Fab: i regret missing some classic bands, but at least i caught The Ramones a few times. Utterly exhilarating. There was a Ramones exhibit at the Grammy Museum in LA a few years ago, and seeing their stage gear on display, like a stuffed and mounted dead thing, filled me with such unexpected sadness knowing that it would never be used again. As I stood there, staring forlornly at the speakers, amps, boxes, etc, it really hit home that I'll never see em again. i hadn't realized how much I miss Da Bruddahs.
	🎸 ♥ 10:17pm Austin Rich: What Andrew Bunny said about Zappa, I said about The Ramones. "Oh, next time!" and then the last tour came and I couldn't go. Very poor planning on my part.
	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm Austin Rich: I'm not sure it was ever made clear anywhere, but Dantro is not human, and is not from Earth. (Slats, the sidekick, is human.) I think the writers of this arc sometimes forget that detail about Dantro, but regardless, it helps to know that Dantro isn't human. He's The Planet Man.
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm Austin Rich: (I mean: i think it was addressed in the 60 episodes or so before this story arc, but in this particular arc, i'm not sure it's addressed.)
	♥ 10:21pm Scott67: Pax, no worries mate. But you're not alone in not being conversant in Aussie Slang cobber. 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	🎸 ♥ 10:24pm Austin Rich: If I remember the story correctly, I think Los Punkrockers are singing these songs "phonetically," and don't actually know what they are saying. Which sort of explains how they don't really get the lyrics very close in a lot of spots.
	🎸 ♥ 10:24pm Aitch: no feelings a great song, a fave
	🎸 ♥ 10:27pm Austin Rich: I saw TMBG do a version of this with another song (a slow version, then a fast version stitched together after). So I decided to do my own version with their two versions of this song.
	10:27pm Heather: Ah, this is a good choice!! And a good version you've done!!
	🎸 ♥ 10:30pm coelacanth∅: i'm Thankful i saw ramones and devo when i did. when freedom from choice came out i considered it the beginning of the end for them, in my world. the guts were gone and i just barely liked it, despite good lyrics. same thing when end of the century came out (except i despised that and considered ramones already over) but i went to see them anyway and in both cases they were Fantastic! ramones played almost totally from their first 4 albums.
	10:30pm Mr. X: In recent years on Facebook, ZBS has been posting photos of life on their commune. It's pretty interesting. Kind of puts a face on their endeavors.
	♥ 10:34pm Rich in Washington: don't know why I thought of this but... PIECE OF PIE
	🎸 ♥ 10:34pm Austin Rich: ZBS still make / release new stuff, too! You can support them very cheaply, and get access to their digital content. That is, after you are current with your Sheena membership.
	🎸 ♥ 10:34pm Austin Rich: It does sort of sound like his voice, Rich! Woah!
	♥ 10:35pm Rich in Washington: How 'bout a hamburger?
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm Austin Rich: I'm gonna compare the voices later, of course.
	🎸 ♥ 10:37pm coelacanth∅: we got good amburgers
	10:40pm Mr. X: Love the cover art on this Servotron album.
	🎸 ♥ 10:41pm Austin Rich: At Servotron shows, the band would stay in character as evil robots who hated humans, and would insult the crowds between songs. It was half Andy Kaufman style comedy, of them insulting audiences for most of the show, then playing songs about hating humans. It was amazing.
	🎸 ♥ 10:42pm Austin Rich: The covers of all Servotron releases are worth googling and checking out. They were pretty inventive.
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm Austin Rich: As a Cometbus reader, I'm a sucker for all his bands. I love the spirit of the songs, and the bands are usually better than your average pop-punk.
	♥ 10:44pm Scott67: Rich, you foul tempter!🍻😎🤙🍕🥧🍔
	🎸 ♥ 10:46pm Austin Rich: I know I've mentioned this before, but Hyped To Death records does not exist anymore, and a couple of house fires have wiped out all the material he used to make the comps. So if anyone out there was a nerd for the Hyped To Death Comps, I would love to try and get a complete set. Since they are out of print, I think trading make sense, right?
	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm Austin Rich: I just re-watched Escape From NY, and I find it very re-watchable. It holds up, 40 years later.
	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm coelacanth∅: {note to self: when i go back in time, buy every hyped to death release}
	🎸 ♥ 10:51pm Austin Rich: I play the hell out of this "Brain In A Box" comp, but in my defense: it has the most bang for your buck, when it comes to sci-fi songs and music.
	🎸 ♥ 10:52pm Austin Rich: If you're going back in time, coelacanthø, can I give you a shopping list? There's a few things I'd like to get that you just can't get now...
	10:52pm Mr. X: Brain in a Box is great. A friend of mine had it, and I ripped the whole thing. Luckily, because her copy got stolen.
	🎸 ♥ 10:53pm coelacanth∅: sure thing Rich. when i find out when i'm going i'll let you know
	♥ 10:54pm Pauly from Clifton: Austin, oh hell yeah! Escape from NY has it all: dystopian setting, a race against the clock, and Don Pleasance, Harry Dean Stanton, Ernest Borg-Nine, and Adrienne Barbeau!
	10:54pm Mr. X: coelacanths are known to be time travellers
	🎸 ♥ 10:55pm Austin Rich: I know I also play the HELL out of the Lux & Ivy Comps by Kogar The Swingin' Ape (who is also a WFMU DJ), but the Lux & Ivy comps are ESSENTIAL listening. And Kogar is just great, and the research he's doing on those comps is a massive undertaking, which he deserves awards for. And you can get them all from the WFMU Blog, I believe...
	🎸 ♥ 10:55pm Austin Rich: Adrienne Barbeau! She's worth the price of admission, right there.
	♥ 10:55pm Scott67: Thanks Austin! Shit hot show fella! When are ya gunna do us all a favour & push it out to midnight mate? 🍻😎🤙💨🍺🎶💻☀️🌏🌻
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm Austin Rich: Three hours!? Maybe for holidays....
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm Austin Rich: Whoops! I'm going a little over this week...
	10:57pm Mr. X: We don't pay him enough, I gues, Scott67
	♥ 10:59pm Scott67: Pauly you forgot Steve Buschemi mate! Or is that Escape L.A.?
	♥ 10:59pm Scott67: Cheers Austin maaaate!🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	♥ 11:00pm Pauly from Clifton: Scott, lemme check...love me some Steve Buschemi!
	11:01pm Mr. X: Thanks for the great show, Austin!
	11:01pm Andrew Bunny: <3 !
	🎸 ♥ 11:02pm coelacanth∅: she's a punk rocker, i've heard. Thanks Rich!
	♥ 11:02pm Pauly from Clifton: Such a treat on a Tuesday! And I thought Planet of the Apes was excellent! Thanks, Austin!
	🎸 ♥ 11:03pm Austin Rich: Ya'll are amazing. Thanks everyone!
	♥ 11:04pm Scott67: Snake Plisken draws down on Steve in one scene!
	🎸 ♥ 11:04pm coelacanth∅: what's inside an android woman?
	🎸 ♥ 11:05pm coelacanth∅: (...girl)
	♥ 11:05pm Scott67: Me!!
	11:05pm Mr Fab: Thanks, Planet Austin!
	♥ 11:06pm Scott67: Woman that is! I'm not a sicko!
	🎸 ♥ 11:07pm coelacanth∅: haha, yeah.trying to quote the song title though

Mid-Valley Mutations with Austin Rich: Playlist from July 19, 2022

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.

	9:09pm Pax: @Austin Rich: I don't have a lot of experience with starting a revolution, but I'll give it my best.
	9:09pm Charles: I've got water buckets!
	🎸 ♥ 9:10pm Austin Rich: For anyone new to a Robot Radio Revolution: please, keep listening to your radio for further instructions! We will not leave you hanging!
	🎸 ♥ 9:12pm Austin Rich: We'll probably need lots of supplies, Charles. Water, dried and rehydratable food. And something that can confuse the processing power of the average droid.
	🎸 ♥ 9:13pm Aitch: hide their batteries
	9:13pm ramencity: I was just listening to some old Wipers show on youtube while "working" and heard this ad-lib in "No Fair": "Every time you turn around, Reagan's there..." Looking forward to the all-songs-about-Reagan edition of the show!

	🎸 ♥ 9:15pm Krys O.: Sounds like George Carlin as the cab driver.
	🎸 ♥ 9:16pm Austin Rich: Ha!
	🎸 ♥ 9:16pm Austin Rich: When you're flying in deep space with just one other person, you should make sure that both of you can repair the ship, in the event one of you gets hurt. (And that's one to grow on.)
	9:17pm Charles: Quick! Someone ask him about a thought paradox! Ship of Theseus, chicken or the egg, anything!
	🎸 ♥ 9:17pm Krys O.: Vo-tech schools are extremely important now and in the future.
	🎸 ♥ 9:18pm Austin Rich: ramencitykid: I know we had a "People Who Died" show were were gonna do, and now the all-Reagan songs show. Any other shows we've forgotten to do?
	9:19pm Pax: What about talking some cpt Kirk computer confusing logic at the droids to blow there circuits.
	♥ 9:19pm Pauly from Clifton: Hey Austin, folks! Thanks for the cook-out tunes!
	9:19pm Rich in Kitchengton: I'm having breakfast for dinner. Groovy show tonight, Austin!
	9:19pm Mr. X: Impossible to surpass the eloquence of the Solenoid Robots on Roger Ramjet, when they said "Buzz. Click."
	🎸 ♥ 9:20pm Austin Rich: Good idea, Pax! Are you good at that stuff?
	🎸 ♥ 9:20pm Austin Rich: Rich & Pauly: Good Hello!
	🎸 ♥ 9:20pm Austin Rich: Marsten, Marsten, Marsten!
	🎸 ♥ 9:21pm Krys O.: @Mr. X: My sibs and I would say, Buzz, Click sometimes to each other. It was in our lexicon. :)
	9:21pm Charles: This is giving me good ideas for pet names.
	9:22pm Mr. X: Nice, Krys O.
	🎸 ♥ 9:22pm Austin Rich: I think there's some new-old Blue Faces recordings that have recently come out, on Kill Pop Tarts. We'll be getting into more of that stuff when I air the Dead Air Fresheners interview I recorded a few weeks back.
	9:22pm ramencity: @Charles - funny, I didn't know the 'ship of Theseus' paradox, but there was one in a movie I just watched (the hatchet at the beginning of "John Dies in the End"). Uh... plate of shrimp!
	🎸 ♥ 9:25pm Austin Rich: "Who's Dantro?"
	9:26pm Mr. X: Dave's not here, man.
	9:26pm Mr. X: Who's on first.
	🎸 ♥ 9:26pm Austin Rich: Mr. X: You beat me to it!
	🎸 ♥ 9:28pm Austin Rich: Whoever it is who so sweetly "fave-star's" all my picks: you are a adorable, and I love you.
	9:29pm Andrew Bunny: Good hello, friends. Glad I could listen this week!
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm Austin Rich: Nice you see you in the chat, Andrew Bunny!
	9:30pm Mr. X: A lot of people confuse B-9 from Lost in Space with Robbie the Robot who first appeared on Forbidden Planet, and was featured on many other movies and TV shows (including Lost in Space alongside B-9.)
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm Austin Rich: In total, I saw Motörhead four times, and they were fantastic every time. My only regret: I could have seen them more, and didn't.
	9:31pm Andrew Bunny: Hi Austin! Still deciding what I'm going to submit to yr zine! Looking forward to you & Univac on Sunday!
	🎸 ♥ 9:31pm Krys O.: Time for me to hit the sack. Cheers, all!
	🎸 ♥ 9:32pm Austin Rich: Oh yeah! I was working on that script today, Andrew Bunny. It's gonna be minimal, but comparison to the last few efforts. I might play improvised bass the whole time?
	♥ 9:32pm Scott67: Austin bringin' the heat mate! I can see a Call & Response happenin when I finally get my Shit Show on the air! 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	🎸 ♥ 9:32pm Austin Rich: Good Night, Krys O!
	9:32pm Andrew Bunny: As a fellow bassist, I approve!
	🎸 ♥ 9:33pm Aitch: I didn't realise he ws B9? Great name, benign. I just thought he was Robot
	🎸 ♥ 9:33pm Austin Rich: I'm into that, Scott67!
	♥ 9:33pm Scott67: Seeya Krys! Thanks mate!✌️😎🤙
	9:33pm Andrew Bunny: ANDROID SISTERS!!!!! I have this CD! Originally from Ruby Galactic Gumshoe on ZBS!
	♥ 9:34pm Pauly from Clifton: Austin, I saw Motorhead just as many times and could have gone to more shows, but didn't. I have the same regret with thee Ramones.
	9:34pm Mr. X: The Android Sisters make my brain feel good.
	9:35pm Charles: Oh no the android sisters are making me question everything I know!
	♥ 9:35pm Scott67: More importantly Pauly, waddidya barbie up mate? 🍻😎🤙💨🍺🍗🥩🍖🦐🦐♨️
	9:36pm Andrew Bunny: Do Androids dream of electric sheep? Yes, we dream of you!
	9:36pm Pax: Nighty night Krys O, I know you got to get up early to catch that 29 bus.
	9:37pm Heather: You were right, Austin! I now have a giant crush on The Android Sisters!!
	🎸 ♥ 9:39pm Austin Rich: The Android Sisters are the best.
	9:39pm Heather: Wait, being wary is what we're supposed to be doing? I'm sunk.
	♥ 9:39pm Pauly from Clifton: Scotty, barbied some corn on the cob and snausages! No rain this evening, so enjoying tunes, beers, and foods! Cheers, mate!
	🎸 ♥ 9:40pm Austin Rich: I still think Gaytheist is one of the best band names ever.
	9:40pm Pax: @Scott67: Will "My Shit Show" be the actual official name of your show?
	9:41pm Mr. X: How cheap was your first toy robot? What could it do? How sharp were its edges and how many choking hazards fell off of it?
	9:41pm Mr Fab: Gaytheist is indeed a great name. I'd send em on a tour of Red States.
	🎸 ♥ 9:42pm Kat in Chicago: Beat Happening <3
	🎸 ♥ 9:42pm Austin Rich: I'm not sure they're still together, but I had them on my show back in the day / interview too, and they were the sweetest guys. They were really adamant about making metal more queer. Their shows were really fun.
	🎸 ♥ 9:43pm Austin Rich: There's probably a Beat Happening song for every occasion.
	9:46pm Mr. X: I squirm a little and smirk when people pronounce it "robuts."
	🎸 ♥ 9:46pm Austin Rich: Servotron was one of my favorite bands of all time. I think about these songs all the time. They were amazing.
	9:46pm Andrew Bunny: Looks like Gaytheist are on Bandcamp and still around! https://gaytheist.bandcamp.com
	🎸 ♥ 9:47pm Austin Rich: Oh good! Those guys are so fun.
	🎸 ♥ 9:49pm Austin Rich: I think this "Single-Mindedness" collection might have been a WFMU premium at one point. I can't remember how I got it, but certainly I enjoy it a lot. Anyone know about this one?
	♥ 9:51pm Scott67: Pax, Title is to be decided, but the Show itself IS just me talkin shit & playin shit I like mate. Wouldn't wanna compete with Don-O's Hour of Crap with that name.
	🎸 ♥ 9:51pm Kat in Chicago: IS THERE NO ESCAPE
	9:52pm Pax: @Mr.X: just thinking the same thing about to pronunciation of Robuts. To take one step further I morph it into 'Robutts'
	♥ 9:52pm Scott67: Cheers Pauly! Chuck me a Snag willya mate? 🍻🤙😎💨🍺
	🎸 ♥ 9:52pm Austin Rich: All that noise... I can't hear the music!
	9:53pm Mr. X: @Pax: As in "Kiss my shiny metal ass!"
	9:53pm Andrew Bunny: No other possibility!
	🎸 ♥ 9:53pm Austin Rich: They have a pretty good new, updated version of this song that the band has been playing at live shows lately. It's very au currant, and pretty funny.
	♥ 9:53pm Pauly from Clifton: Scott, chucking ya a snag and cold lager! Heads up!
	🎸 ♥ 9:54pm Austin Rich: I get this "Break Out Tonight" riff stuck in my head sometimes.
	🎸 ♥ 9:54pm Kat in Chicago: Yeah I saw their NYC show and they dropped it in there
	9:55pm Pax: @Mr.X: Hah, didn't Bender from Futurama use to say that.
	🎸 ♥ 9:56pm Austin Rich: I have a long, storied career of missing Negativland shows that I could have gone to, but missed for a variety of reasons. So I've been trying to make up for it by opening for them, and running their merch at the NW shows.
	♥ 9:57pm Scott67: My pants just got tight!👖
	9:58pm Pax: @Pauly fC: just what is a snag?
	♥ 9:59pm Scott67: 💨🍺🌭🖐️😎 Cheers Pauly!!
	🎸 ♥ 9:59pm Austin Rich: Don't be so L 7 7.
	♥ 10:01pm Scott67: I'm not a Consumer, but I do require EVERY Killed By Death comp! I start from Zero!! 🍻😎🤙☠️
	🎸 ♥ 10:02pm Austin Rich: Those Killed By Death comps are ESSENTIAL. All of them have some very cool stuff on them.
	♥ 10:02pm Pauly from Clifton: Pax, sausage!
	🎸 ♥ 10:02pm coelacanth∅: greetings Austin Rich and mutations
	🎸 ♥ 10:02pm Aitch: or a sensitive new age guy
	🎸 ♥ 10:03pm Austin Rich: Good Hello, coelacanthø, Pauly, and others I've missed!
	10:03pm Pax: I never understood why all the super intelligent AI robots and machines are always so cryptic.
	♥ 10:04pm Scott67: Thanks Pauly, I grow weary of translating Slang & the Metric System. When google is at our finger tips. 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	♥ 10:05pm Scott67: Pax, jokin mate! It's all the joy of Human interaction mate! 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	10:06pm Andrew Bunny: @pax, I figure if they're super-intelligent, they'd speak to us quite snark-like, very slowly, and strained. Like French Canadian's speak to me when I'd visit Montreal...
	10:06pm Mr. X: It's so cool how robots always have built-in reverb.
	🎸 ♥ 10:07pm Aitch: The robot overlords will ultimately be undone by legions of teenagers that have borrowed their charging cables thus rendering them powerless
	🎸 ♥ 10:07pm Austin Rich: Being cryptic is just their way of trying to keep us on our toes. We start assuming they're smart, but they're just messing with us. Robots are actually jerks.
	♥ 10:07pm Scott67: I try to avoid grilled Sensitive New Ages Guys. I used to binge. But now I find they disagree with me. & end up given me th shits!
	10:08pm Mr Fab: "In a robot revolution, self-care is very important." If this was a broadcast station, I think that would satisfy the public service announcement requirement.
	🎸 ♥ 10:08pm Austin Rich: I think Supercharger aren't as well remembered as they should be.
	🎸 ♥ 10:08pm Austin Rich: What can I say, Mr. Fab? I'm just an old radio pro, I guess?
	🎸 ♥ 10:10pm Austin Rich: Oh, I remember: whoever was talking about seeing the Ramones: I REALLY regret not seeing them, in spite of the NUMEROUS times I could have. Same for Thinking Fellers. I think I could have seen them a few times, and just never did .
	10:15pm Andrew Bunny: I still kick myself for never seeing Zappa when I had the chances. "Oh, he'll be back next year..."
	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm Austin Rich: I did an interview with Michael Pilmer, who works for Devo in a number of capacities, and he was very proud of his work on helping get these Hardcore Devo albums released.
	10:16pm Pax: @Scott67: no worries, I've been accused of not being the sharpest knife in the drawer many of time, sort of speak. And I'm not! I have a realistic view of myself. And I know it's done in fun. and besides as they say; don't sweat the small stuff. Cheers
	🎸 ♥ 10:16pm Austin Rich: I like this era of Devo, because they sound a little more like the Residents, and less like their future sound. I still love later Devo stuff, but this early stuff is just so weird and wonderful.
	10:16pm Mr Fab: i regret missing some classic bands, but at least i caught The Ramones a few times. Utterly exhilarating. There was a Ramones exhibit at the Grammy Museum in LA a few years ago, and seeing their stage gear on display, like a stuffed and mounted dead thing, filled me with such unexpected sadness knowing that it would never be used again. As I stood there, staring forlornly at the speakers, amps, boxes, etc, it really hit home that I'll never see em again. i hadn't realized how much I miss Da Bruddahs.
	🎸 ♥ 10:17pm Austin Rich: What Andrew Bunny said about Zappa, I said about The Ramones. "Oh, next time!" and then the last tour came and I couldn't go. Very poor planning on my part.
	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm Austin Rich: I'm not sure it was ever made clear anywhere, but Dantro is not human, and is not from Earth. (Slats, the sidekick, is human.) I think the writers of this arc sometimes forget that detail about Dantro, but regardless, it helps to know that Dantro isn't human. He's The Planet Man.
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm Austin Rich: (I mean: i think it was addressed in the 60 episodes or so before this story arc, but in this particular arc, i'm not sure it's addressed.)
	♥ 10:21pm Scott67: Pax, no worries mate. But you're not alone in not being conversant in Aussie Slang cobber. 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	🎸 ♥ 10:24pm Austin Rich: If I remember the story correctly, I think Los Punkrockers are singing these songs "phonetically," and don't actually know what they are saying. Which sort of explains how they don't really get the lyrics very close in a lot of spots.
	🎸 ♥ 10:24pm Aitch: no feelings a great song, a fave
	🎸 ♥ 10:27pm Austin Rich: I saw TMBG do a version of this with another song (a slow version, then a fast version stitched together after). So I decided to do my own version with their two versions of this song.
	10:27pm Heather: Ah, this is a good choice!! And a good version you've done!!
	🎸 ♥ 10:30pm coelacanth∅: i'm Thankful i saw ramones and devo when i did. when freedom from choice came out i considered it the beginning of the end for them, in my world. the guts were gone and i just barely liked it, despite good lyrics. same thing when end of the century came out (except i despised that and considered ramones already over) but i went to see them anyway and in both cases they were Fantastic! ramones played almost totally from their first 4 albums.
	10:30pm Mr. X: In recent years on Facebook, ZBS has been posting photos of life on their commune. It's pretty interesting. Kind of puts a face on their endeavors.
	♥ 10:34pm Rich in Washington: don't know why I thought of this but... PIECE OF PIE
	🎸 ♥ 10:34pm Austin Rich: ZBS still make / release new stuff, too! You can support them very cheaply, and get access to their digital content. That is, after you are current with your Sheena membership.
	🎸 ♥ 10:34pm Austin Rich: It does sort of sound like his voice, Rich! Woah!
	♥ 10:35pm Rich in Washington: How 'bout a hamburger?
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm Austin Rich: I'm gonna compare the voices later, of course.
	🎸 ♥ 10:37pm coelacanth∅: we got good amburgers
	10:40pm Mr. X: Love the cover art on this Servotron album.
	🎸 ♥ 10:41pm Austin Rich: At Servotron shows, the band would stay in character as evil robots who hated humans, and would insult the crowds between songs. It was half Andy Kaufman style comedy, of them insulting audiences for most of the show, then playing songs about hating humans. It was amazing.
	🎸 ♥ 10:42pm Austin Rich: The covers of all Servotron releases are worth googling and checking out. They were pretty inventive.
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm Austin Rich: As a Cometbus reader, I'm a sucker for all his bands. I love the spirit of the songs, and the bands are usually better than your average pop-punk.
	♥ 10:44pm Scott67: Rich, you foul tempter!🍻😎🤙🍕🥧🍔
	🎸 ♥ 10:46pm Austin Rich: I know I've mentioned this before, but Hyped To Death records does not exist anymore, and a couple of house fires have wiped out all the material he used to make the comps. So if anyone out there was a nerd for the Hyped To Death Comps, I would love to try and get a complete set. Since they are out of print, I think trading make sense, right?
	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm Austin Rich: I just re-watched Escape From NY, and I find it very re-watchable. It holds up, 40 years later.
	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm coelacanth∅: {note to self: when i go back in time, buy every hyped to death release}
	🎸 ♥ 10:51pm Austin Rich: I play the hell out of this "Brain In A Box" comp, but in my defense: it has the most bang for your buck, when it comes to sci-fi songs and music.
	🎸 ♥ 10:52pm Austin Rich: If you're going back in time, coelacanthø, can I give you a shopping list? There's a few things I'd like to get that you just can't get now...
	10:52pm Mr. X: Brain in a Box is great. A friend of mine had it, and I ripped the whole thing. Luckily, because her copy got stolen.
	🎸 ♥ 10:53pm coelacanth∅: sure thing Rich. when i find out when i'm going i'll let you know
	♥ 10:54pm Pauly from Clifton: Austin, oh hell yeah! Escape from NY has it all: dystopian setting, a race against the clock, and Don Pleasance, Harry Dean Stanton, Ernest Borg-Nine, and Adrienne Barbeau!
	10:54pm Mr. X: coelacanths are known to be time travellers
	🎸 ♥ 10:55pm Austin Rich: I know I also play the HELL out of the Lux & Ivy Comps by Kogar The Swingin' Ape (who is also a WFMU DJ), but the Lux & Ivy comps are ESSENTIAL listening. And Kogar is just great, and the research he's doing on those comps is a massive undertaking, which he deserves awards for. And you can get them all from the WFMU Blog, I believe...
	🎸 ♥ 10:55pm Austin Rich: Adrienne Barbeau! She's worth the price of admission, right there.
	♥ 10:55pm Scott67: Thanks Austin! Shit hot show fella! When are ya gunna do us all a favour & push it out to midnight mate? 🍻😎🤙💨🍺🎶💻☀️🌏🌻
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm Austin Rich: Three hours!? Maybe for holidays....
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm Austin Rich: Whoops! I'm going a little over this week...
	10:57pm Mr. X: We don't pay him enough, I gues, Scott67
	♥ 10:59pm Scott67: Pauly you forgot Steve Buschemi mate! Or is that Escape L.A.?
	♥ 10:59pm Scott67: Cheers Austin maaaate!🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	♥ 11:00pm Pauly from Clifton: Scott, lemme check...love me some Steve Buschemi!
	11:01pm Mr. X: Thanks for the great show, Austin!
	11:01pm Andrew Bunny: <3 !
	🎸 ♥ 11:02pm coelacanth∅: she's a punk rocker, i've heard. Thanks Rich!
	♥ 11:02pm Pauly from Clifton: Such a treat on a Tuesday! And I thought Planet of the Apes was excellent! Thanks, Austin!
	🎸 ♥ 11:03pm Austin Rich: Ya'll are amazing. Thanks everyone!
	♥ 11:04pm Scott67: Snake Plisken draws down on Steve in one scene!
	🎸 ♥ 11:04pm coelacanth∅: what's inside an android woman?
	🎸 ♥ 11:05pm coelacanth∅: (...girl)
	♥ 11:05pm Scott67: Me!!
	11:05pm Mr Fab: Thanks, Planet Austin!
	♥ 11:06pm Scott67: Woman that is! I'm not a sicko!
	🎸 ♥ 11:07pm coelacanth∅: haha, yeah.trying to quote the song title though
