Listener comments!
	🎸 ♥ 3:51pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	🎸 ♥ 8:57pm Krys O.: Hey, hey, hey!
	🎸 ♥ 8:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:57 Howdy!
	♥ 9:01pm Derek Westerholm: Awww... R.I.P. (I guess this will be what we are saying all show?)
	🎸 ♥ 9:02pm Aitch: Lots of rock tonight, or just noodling?
	🎸 ♥ 9:02pm Krys O.: Was just thinking recently of absent friends including someone who died recently.
	♥ 9:03pm Derek Westerholm: Krys O., condolences
	9:03pm Mr Fab: Hi Austin! Sucks about Tom Verlaine dying, but I console myself with all the great music in the tributes.
	9:03pm Feldy: Hi guys!
	9:03pm Geoff-U: :waves:
	♥ 9:04pm drowsy: Hi Austin and Ramen City Kid.
	9:04pm ramencity: Sorry to hear that Krys.
	♥ 9:04pm drowsy: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:03 +1 Krys O.
	🎸 ♥ 9:04pm Krys O.: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:03 Thanks, Derek. It was unexpected and the guy was rather young.
	9:04pm ramencity: ↳ drowsy @9:04 :wavewave:
	9:04pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Little Johnny Jewel" by "Television" Originally available only on 45. You had to flip it over to hear the whole thing.
	🎸 ♥ 9:05pm Austin Rich: Howdy everyone! I was a little busy there, but I'm in the chat! Ya'll are amazing! Thanks for joining us!
	9:05pm ramencity: ↳ Mr. X @9:04 Yeah! One of the first things I got when that fancy "eBay" thingie came around
	♥ 9:05pm Derek Westerholm: I kinda love how the poster shows "A 2022 Review" of "The People Who Died", then starts with a 2023 death. I guess death waits for no time, huh? Anyway, I don't love death. I just thought that was kinda funny, in a way.
	🎸 ♥ 9:06pm Austin Rich: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:05 It was a last-minute addition to the show, for sure. But... it felt right, with the way Krys O was ending her show.
	9:06pm Mr. X: ↳ ramencity @9:05 Good choice!
	♥ 9:06pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Krys O. @9:04 Krys O. That makes it even harder. I am so sorry.
	♥ 9:07pm Derek Westerholm: Little Johnny Jewel was a great choice! Great song, sad loss.
	9:08pm Charles: I love your show Mitch!
	♥ 9:08pm HyperDose: Always look forward to Tuesday evenings on Sheena's!
	♥ 9:10pm Pauly from Clifton: Hi Austin, folks! Listening and finishing dishes.
	🎸 ♥ 9:11pm Austin Rich: Okay, I believe I have done all the hard work. Now, let's get to making funnies in the chat!
	🎸 ♥ 9:11pm Austin Rich: ↳ Aitch @9:02 It's a little bit of everything, actually.
	9:12pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Swing For The Crime" by "The Saints" another Bo Diddley beat!
	🎸 ♥ 9:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:12 It's the rhythm that can't be beat. Or... can be?
	♥ 9:12pm Derek Westerholm: I haven't listened to it as much as the first two, but I feel like Prehistoric Sounds was disappointing, and this song was one of the highlights that buoyed it up... Just as I remember it, anyway.
	🎸 ♥ 9:13pm Aitch: ↳ Austin Rich @9:11 Noodling was just a bad Ramen pun
	9:13pm ramencity: ↳ Mr Fab @9:12 "Who Do You Love" is the punkest song ever
	♥ 9:13pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Aitch @9:13 Noodling is an excellent Ramen pun.
	🎸 ♥ 9:14pm Austin Rich: I will admit: there are only a few selections that I included in the line-up tonight. It's really The Ramen City Kid's show tonight.
	9:14pm Mr Fab: ↳ ramencity @9:13 yeah, that song is the very definition of 'bad-ass.'
	🎸 ♥ 9:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Aitch @9:13 Well... two 2023 inclusions...
	🎸 ♥ 9:16pm Austin Rich: Already I can tell... we're gonna go over. Hope no one minds.
	🎸 ♥ 9:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ Aitch @9:13 Or just the perfect ramen pun.
	🎸 ♥ 9:18pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Swing For The Crime" by "The Saints" Saw Chris Bailey live by himself in 1983. Just him a stool and an acoustic. There were about 5 paying customers in a room that held about 800. More staff than crowd, I was one of the staff. He did the whole set though, didn't give up, but it was really sad.
	9:19pm ramencity: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:12 There are some really good songs on Prehistoric Sounds, but .. how you gonna out-do "Eternally Yours"???
	♥ 9:20pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ramencity @9:19 Eternally Yours really is amongst my favourite albums.
	🎸 ♥ 9:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ Aitch @9:18 Wow. That's sort of amazing.
	🎸 ♥ 9:20pm Austin Rich: Eternally Yours is pretty incredible.
	♥ 9:21pm Derek Westerholm: Wow, I knew The Fall covered This Perfect Day, didn't know that Screaming Trees did.
	🎸 ♥ 9:23pm Aitch: Ed Kuepper the Saints' guitarist wrote or co wrote the songs, still plays as the 'Aints (saints no singer) amongst other things.
	🎸 ♥ 9:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Undertow" by "Mark Lanegan" This is a secret treasure in the Sub Pop catalog that I don't hear as many people talk about these days, but I think stands up much better than some of the other albums from that same era, all these years later.
	9:26pm Krys O: Haven’t heard this in a long while even with all the extensive tributes too.
	🎸 ♥ 9:26pm Austin Rich: "Take Warning."
	9:26pm Heather: Hi all! Tuned in and enjoying the show! Going to paint a bit and pop back in once I've made a little progress there!
	♥ 9:27pm Derek Westerholm: Saw the recently reformed Terry Hall Specials a few years back (just pre-covid.) Weird to think he's gone after having just seen him. This song is one of the first I heard by The Specials. Such a fantastic song.
	🎸 ♥ 9:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather @9:26 Keep it up! I saw a snap, and Heather's painting is coming along!
	9:28pm Mr. X: Just listened to this album with my brother after Terry Hall died. Bro was a huge fan of 2-Tone back in the day.
	9:28pm ramencity: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:27 Yeah, it was hard choosing which song to play - that was probably the hardest to decide...
	9:28pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "It's Up To You" by "The Specials" this album was MASSIVE in my life. The Specials on SNL was the most exciting musical performance i'd ever seen.
	♥ 9:29pm drowsy: Specials are definitely one of those bands I would ask a genie to go back in time to see live.
	♥ 9:30pm HyperDose: 3rd wave ska/ska-core changed my life
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ drowsy @9:29 I have, for a long time, imagined a Time Machine for the primary purpose of going back to see famous shows I missed. I used to ask that question at parties: what show in history would you travel back to see?
	9:30pm ramencity: oooh I don't think I've seen that - going to check it out after the show!
	9:32pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @9:30 Velvet Underground & Nico w/the Warhol show, The Exploding Plastic Inevitable.
	🎸 ♥ 9:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:32 Absolutely on my list! I'd like to see a couple vintage Joy Division shows.
	9:34pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:30 Billie Holiday at the Savoy, late 1930s.
	9:35pm ramencity: I would love to see Bach rockin' the harpsichord
	9:36pm Mr. X: ↳ ramencity @9:35 Bach vs. Lurch battle of the bands!
	🎸 ♥ 9:36pm Austin Rich: I, stupidly, never saw the Ramones, always saying, "They'll always be around, I'll see them next time." And then: there wasn't a next time. Stupid. So, yeah. I'd like to see at least one Ramones show. Maybe just take in a whole night at CGBGs, back in the day?
	♥ 9:36pm drowsy: ↳ Song: "Passed-Out Dog" by "Cathal Coughlan" This is good.
	♥ 9:37pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Austin Rich @9:36 Austin, absolutely the same re: Ramones.
	9:37pm Krys O: Thanks, Austin. G’night , all.
	🎸 ♥ 9:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O @9:37 Sleep well, Krys O!
	🎸 ♥ 9:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ drowsy @9:36 Yeah. My fave discovery from this show... sadly, after he's gone.
	9:38pm Mr Fab: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:37 I saw Da Brudders live a few times in the '80s, and hate to rub salt in your wound, but live they really did take it to another level.
	♥ 9:38pm HyperDose: Night, Krys. Thanks for a lovely show. Judy taught you well!
	♥ 9:38pm Derek Westerholm: Cathal Coughlan, so glad he kept doing stuff. Lost track after Fatima Mansions. Didn't know he passed. That story you told about the recording sessions & him not mentioning his illness is really touching.
	🎸 ♥ 9:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:38 Even those live recordings are just mind-bending! I've seen footage, but to be there must have been epic.
	9:41pm ramencity: ↳ Mr Fab @9:38 oh man... Austin + I knew a guy from Eugene (Oh, Mr X must know Robert Christie) who saw the Ramones on his honeymoon and got them to autograph his leather jacket..
	9:42pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @9:39 like a 90-minute roller-coaster ride. Absolutely exhilarating. One of those rides you wanted to hop back on as soon as it ended. A night at CBGBs in the late '70s is a good choice. never saw the Talking Heads, and that ship has long since sailed.
	🎸 ♥ 9:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:41 I forgot about that story!
	♥ 9:43pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Austin Rich @9:30 Or, alternately, what show would you travel back in time to, in an attempt to un-see it?
	🎸 ♥ 9:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:43 Oh, damn. Good question. I would like my old band, Cathead, to have not done the show with Feeling OK and DuckFuzz. We shouldn't have encouraged that AT ALL.
	9:44pm Mr. X: ↳ ramencity @9:41 Didn't know him well, but I bought records from him and saw his band.
	♥ 9:44pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Austin Rich @9:44 Oh, all of that sounds like such an excellent story!
	♥ 9:45pm drowsy: oh snap - I love these guys , so I am not psyched to hear them today...
	♥ 9:45pm drowsy: ↳ Song: "Escapism For The Future" by "Satisfact" oh snap ref song
	9:45pm Mr. X: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:43 LOL. Eddie Money.
	🎸 ♥ 9:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:44 Ramen City Kid makes it sound like I know him. I mostly knew him THROUGH Ramen City Kid. But I loved Oswald 5-0. Cathead talked Robert into playing a show with us, then later had to back out because the date didn't work. So there's a version of our flier from that show that says, "Oswald 5-0 and Cathead." It never happened, but I think about that show that almost happened quite often.
	9:46pm ramencity: ↳ drowsy @9:45 Yeah, Jeremiah Green died on NYEve
	♥ 9:49pm drowsy: ↳ ramencity @9:46 aw. thanks for these appreciations, this is a good show. I would say 'killer show' but that would be gauche, and possibly triggering a pool win somewhere.
	🎸 ♥ 9:51pm Austin Rich: Thanks to The Ramen City Kid, I went a little overboard with my love of MX-80, and spent WAY too much time just listening to that first album + first EP over and over and over again. It is an absolutely ESSENTIAL album in the Lava Lamp Lounge.
	🎸 ♥ 9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Myonga Von Brontee" by "MX-80 Sound" Honestly, I know this album TOO well. SOO GOOD!
	🎸 ♥ 9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Myonga Von Brontee" by "MX-80 Sound" Two Drummers.
	🎸 ♥ 9:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Myonga Von Brontee" by "MX-80 Sound" They had been around for a while, and are really more of a proto-punk band, born out of the early 70's. But they didn't get to record their first single until this late in the game.
	🎸 ♥ 9:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Myonga Von Brontee" by "MX-80 Sound" I love that you can sort of hear the bass player blow a few of the transitions.
	♥ 9:59pm Derek Westerholm: Excellent set already... MX-80 Sound was great! And I have an Associates album, but I'm pretty sure nothing on it is as wonderful as this...!
	9:59pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "Kitchen Person" by "The Associates" Fun fact abt the Associates: it is rumored that the Smiths song "William It Was Really Nothing" was about Associates singer Billy McKenzie - so he wrote a song called "Stephen It Was Really Something"
	♥ 9:59pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ramencity @9:59 That is hilarious!
	10:00pm ramencity: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:59 Apparently between albums they did a lot of drugs, and a lot of singles...
	🎸 ♥ 10:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Kitchen Person" by "The Associates" I always forget how bonkers this song is.
	♥ 10:00pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ramencity @10:00 Yes, I've heard that there may have been too many drugs involved...
	10:01pm Feldy: Definitely the only song I’ve heard called Kitchen Person
	♥ 10:01pm Derek Westerholm: This is truly an excellent chaos!
	♥ 10:01pm Derek Westerholm: Awww. Keith.
	🎸 ♥ 10:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Feldy @10:01 I imagine it like, "Oh, don't mind him. He's just a Kitchen Person."
	10:02pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "No Birds" by "Public Image Ltd." Jah Wobble is probably my favorite bassist.
	🎸 ♥ 10:04pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:02 For the show I do with Big City Orchestra, we had a long conversation about Jah Wobble, and we ultimately decided sample a bunch of his bass for something we were working on. Which was an excellent choice, I must say.
	10:04pm ramencity: ↳ Feldy @10:01 Other choice titles on that album: "White Car in Germany" and "Tell Me Easter's On Friday"
	🎸 ♥ 10:07pm Austin Rich: I should remind everyone: Next week, Xeres of Xeron will be joining us for an overview of the various international influences that have impacted the shape and sound of The Mid-Valley. Bring a Number 2 Pencil, and a notebook!
	10:09pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "No Birds" by "Public Image Ltd." my 1990 "Metal Box" CD that came in an actual metal box (like that pic) is rusted shut. An issue that shouldn't effect my vinyl copy of "Second Edition."
	🎸 ♥ 10:09pm Austin Rich: And then, on Valentine's Day, Heather (who lurks here in the chat often) will be joining me, to take live calls, and offer advice on romance and dating. Two ABSOLUTELY Qualified experts.
	🎸 ♥ 10:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:09 Some gimmicks are take the joke too far, I guess? Maybe we should get Mr. Fab a can-opener if we do well during the Marathon?
	🎸 ♥ 10:11pm Austin Rich: Oh yeah. We are definitely going over this hour...
	10:11pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:07 Yay!
	🎸 ♥ 10:12pm Austin Rich: KZEL, in the 80's, would often play a sample of Robin Williams singing in an Elmer Fudd voice, the intro to this song... and then transition into the Springsteen version. I think they must have had it on a cart, because I heard that exact transition on KZEL for YEARS.
	♥ 10:13pm drowsy: ↳ Song: "It Emits Sounds (Instrumental)" by "Mini-Mutations" Wait - you made a thing with the Dicktown/Get Your War Own crew?
	🎸 ♥ 10:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ drowsy @10:13 No... just sampled them.
	🎸 ♥ 10:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:13 I've been trying to send one to David Rees for a while, but I'm not quite sure he's gotten one yet.
	♥ 10:13pm drowsy: ↳ Song: "Fire" by "Pointer Sisters" I remember that WRKO spliced their call sign into this song. Sounds like everyone latched on to this
	♥ 10:14pm drowsy: ↳ Austin Rich @10:13 Keep trying! Maybe you need to send a pencil-sharpening order to get his attention.
	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ drowsy @10:14 Good idea! I am a Patron on his current podcast, so maybe I'll get his attention that way? Who can say...
	🎸 ♥ 10:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:15 In the meantime, it's available as a musical postcard: wtbc.bandcamp.com...
	10:20pm ramencity: I have been in a Delfonic headspace ever since we recorded this show.
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:20 This next set is sort of off the hook, as the kids say.
	🎸 ♥ 10:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:20 Oh! The Link: www.gofundme.com...
	🎸 ♥ 10:25pm Austin Rich: Man, Walter Washington's voice! Holy cats...
	🎸 ♥ 10:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "He Don't Really Love You" by "Delfonics" The "Moon Shot" record label logo might be the greatest record label logo in all history.
	10:26pm ramencity: I knew you'd dig that
	🎸 ♥ 10:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:26 I might need to steal it for a Shot Reverse Shot release.
	🎸 ♥ 10:27pm WR: ↳ Song: "Heavily Vibrations (You Give Me)" by "Walter Wash... Many many thank yous for including WWW.
	10:27pm ramencity: ↳ WR @10:27 Cheers!
	10:28pm Mr. X: Loving the R&B segment.
	🎸 ♥ 10:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:28 It's a genre I always love and know nothing about.
	10:29pm ramencity: ↳ Mr. X @10:28 Yeah, shake it!
	10:29pm listener kreightoven: BANGER
	🎸 ♥ 10:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ listener kreightoven @10:29 Hell yeah.
	10:31pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "It's My Life (Alternate Take)" by "Betty Davis" All this and married to Miles Davis too?
	10:31pm Mr Fab: I admit my knowledge of the members of the Impressions begins and ends with Curtis Mayfield. (I just heard “Superfly” in the supermarket today. Which was super.)
	10:31pm Mr Fab: ↳ Mr Fab @10:31 So you might say the other members didn’t leave an impression on me. (sorry)
	🎸 ♥ 10:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:31 I smiled. Thanks for that!
	10:32pm ramencity: ↳ Mr Fab @10:31 Zing! Yeah, I don't know a whole lot about them, but Curtis is such an amazing cat
	10:32pm listener kreightoven: WOW and Betty. 😍
	🎸 ♥ 10:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Portland Oregon" by "Loretta Lynn" I miss living in PDX quite a bit, and I think about it a lot. This song really hits different, now that I don't live there anymore.
	10:32pm Heather: ↳ Mr Fab @10:31 😂
	🎸 ♥ 10:34pm Austin Rich: Slow Gin Fizz always reminds me of Johnny, as the Ramen City Kid can probably imagine why...
	10:34pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Portland Oregon" by "Loretta Lynn" /w Jack White!
	10:34pm ramencity: ↳ Mr. X @10:34 yeah, crazy!
	🎸 ♥ 10:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:31 Also: I love a good "Super" joke, too. I like to deploy that one any time Marla makes soup.
	10:35pm ramencity: I should know more abt Loretta as my parents are country-music fans
	10:36pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "Portland Oregon" by "Loretta Lynn" I first discovered this song when we had a "sloe gin fizz" party years ago, and I was looking for songs about sloe gin
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:36 ...curse my terrible spelling...
	10:39pm ramencity: "Austin: Gettin' It In Every Ear Since 1992"
	🎸 ♥ 10:40pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:39 with more and more hearing loss, every year...
	🎸 ♥ 10:42pm Austin Rich: The particular sounds and tones they get on this album feel lodged in my head for all time. It seems so completely specific and unrepeatable.
	10:43pm Mr. X: Just discovered David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti's project Thought Gang recently. Some wild stuff.
	🎸 ♥ 10:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:43 I haven't heard that one. I probably should, as they seem to work VERY well together.
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm Austin Rich: We're gonna go over, but it will all be worth it. I couldn't cut anything.
	♥ 10:45pm Derek Westerholm: Good for you!
	♥ 10:45pm Derek Westerholm: Good for us!
	10:46pm Mr. X: Julee Cruise is indeed haunting.
	🎸 ♥ 10:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:46 Almost hypnotizing.
	10:46pm Heather: Go over! I'm quiet tonight but super enjoying the show. Great stuff, Austin and Ramen City! Thanks so much! !
	🎸 ♥ 10:48pm Austin Rich: I know I've said this before, but as a wee lad, still listening to grunge and Led Zeppelin, Ramen City Kid took me under his wing, gave me a Wipers album and an Unwound album, and played a little Stravinsky for me. I owe him a debt I have yet to repay for that kindness.
	10:48pm ramencity: Buckle yer seatbelts, it's about to get weird
	10:49pm ramencity: (that was for Heather)
	10:50pm Mr. X: Pharaoh is allowed to be weird.
	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm Austin Rich: I need to get this Floating Points record. This little taste really got me interested.
	10:50pm ramencity: yisssss
	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:50 The Pharaoh always gets what The Pharaoh wants.
	10:51pm Heather: ↳ ramencity @10:49 I'm ready and excited! Bring on the weird!!
	10:51pm Mr Fab: was fortunate to see Pharaoh at a little jazz club in the '90s. Man, that cat could BLOW.
	🎸 ♥ 10:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:51 Every time I think you've mentioned the show I'm the most jealous of, you drop another. My Time Machine answer is now: I want to just follow Mr. Fab around at shows.
	10:53pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:52 Ha! Well, thinking of time machine shows, could kick myself for never catching Sun Ra.
	10:53pm Heather: ↳ Austin Rich @10:52 Everybody wants to follow Mr. Fab around! In a totally not creepy way, just Fab is the coolest, is all.
	🎸 ♥ 10:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:53 Yeah, that's a good one. Would have LOVED that.
	10:54pm Geoff-U: This has been a really cool show! Haven't been able to chat, busting out dinner. I set my laptop on the counter so I can listen and chop veg at the same time
	🎸 ♥ 10:54pm Austin Rich: Thanks again everyone, for joining me in the chat! This is my primary social time these days, and ya'll always make this a lot of fun.
	🎸 ♥ 10:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @10:54 Dinner always comes first.
	10:55pm Geoff-U: We might be celebrating my death if it wasn't for the truly incredible power of MRNA vaccines
	🎸 ♥ 10:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @10:55 Praise Science!
	10:55pm Geoff-U: I spent two nights partying in a dirty little port town to the north and came back with a little bug called COVID
	10:56pm Geoff-U: Recovering now. Not fun. Thankfully I can listen to this show remotely, endangering no one!
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @10:55 I have heard that story from almost every person I know.
	10:56pm Mr. X: The People Who Died shows are always great, Austin, even though they are a little sad. Super nice job curating, Ramen City Kid!
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm Aitch: Very interesting show, thank you Austin and broth-er Ramen
	♥ 10:57pm drowsy: Great show - thank you both!
	10:57pm Geoff-U: Thank you Ramen City Kid and Austin! This was really really cool show!
	10:57pm ramencity: ↳ Mr Fab @10:51 No way...
	10:58pm ramencity: ↳ Geoff-U @10:54 I was choppin' along side you -- curry done and dusted now!
	♥ 10:58pm drowsy: ↳ Geoff-U @10:56 I hope you get well soon.
	10:58pm Heather: ↳ Geoff-U @10:56 Feel so much better very very soon!!
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm WR: Thank you! Austin! Excellent curation ramencity!
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @10:57 Glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully it aids in the healing and digestion.
	10:59pm Geoff-U: Thanks all! I'm on the mend. Wife is on the Paxlovid and slowly feeling better. Stay safe and healthy out there all, coves is clearly still around! (This is my first time... got complacent :P )
	11:00pm Heather: It's getting toward that time. For real, thank you Austin and Ramen City Kid for making my evening awesome!! Have a great night, all!!
	11:00pm Geoff-U: ↳ ramencity @10:58 Mmmm curry <3 nom nom nom
	🎸 ♥ 11:01pm WR: ↳ Song: "Perpetual Motion" by "Ned Rorem" Ned Rorem was also very interesting writer and memoirist
	🎸 ♥ 11:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @11:01 I need to explore more. I quite enjoy what I heard via Ramen City Kid.
	11:05pm ramencity: ↳ WR @11:01 Yeah, I want to read his memoirs
	🎸 ♥ 11:06pm Austin Rich: Thanks everyone! If only we had more Bosom Buddies...
	11:07pm Mr Fab: you're not gonna believe this...but i saw a Bea Arthur one-woman show.
	🎸 ♥ 11:07pm WR: ↳ Song: "Bosom Buddies" by "Angela Lansbury & Bea Arthur" Really great choice to close with.
	🎸 ♥ 11:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @11:07 I love it!
	🎸 ♥ 11:08pm WR: ↳ Mr Fab @11:07 Just another reason why you arr Mr Fab!
	11:08pm Mr Fab: Well done, ramencity Rich!

Mid-Valley Mutations with Austin Rich: Playlist from January 31, 2023

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.

Tue. Apr 30th, 9pm - Midnight: Mid-Valley Mutations vs. Radio TroUBle (More info...)
The members of Big City Orchestra join Austin Rich to perform a mash-up version of their shows, where Pxe, dAs, univac and Austin swap tracks back and forth, offering you a chance to get a sense of what their respective shows are like. It's sort of like a DJ exchange program, and at an expanded length, too! Join us."

Listener comments!
	🎸 ♥ 3:51pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	🎸 ♥ 8:57pm Krys O.: Hey, hey, hey!
	🎸 ♥ 8:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:57 Howdy!
	♥ 9:01pm Derek Westerholm: Awww... R.I.P. (I guess this will be what we are saying all show?)
	🎸 ♥ 9:02pm Aitch: Lots of rock tonight, or just noodling?
	🎸 ♥ 9:02pm Krys O.: Was just thinking recently of absent friends including someone who died recently.
	♥ 9:03pm Derek Westerholm: Krys O., condolences
	9:03pm Mr Fab: Hi Austin! Sucks about Tom Verlaine dying, but I console myself with all the great music in the tributes.
	9:03pm Feldy: Hi guys!
	9:03pm Geoff-U: :waves:
	♥ 9:04pm drowsy: Hi Austin and Ramen City Kid.
	9:04pm ramencity: Sorry to hear that Krys.
	♥ 9:04pm drowsy: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:03 +1 Krys O.
	🎸 ♥ 9:04pm Krys O.: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:03 Thanks, Derek. It was unexpected and the guy was rather young.
	9:04pm ramencity: ↳ drowsy @9:04 :wavewave:
	9:04pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Little Johnny Jewel" by "Television" Originally available only on 45. You had to flip it over to hear the whole thing.
	🎸 ♥ 9:05pm Austin Rich: Howdy everyone! I was a little busy there, but I'm in the chat! Ya'll are amazing! Thanks for joining us!
	9:05pm ramencity: ↳ Mr. X @9:04 Yeah! One of the first things I got when that fancy "eBay" thingie came around
	♥ 9:05pm Derek Westerholm: I kinda love how the poster shows "A 2022 Review" of "The People Who Died", then starts with a 2023 death. I guess death waits for no time, huh? Anyway, I don't love death. I just thought that was kinda funny, in a way.
	🎸 ♥ 9:06pm Austin Rich: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:05 It was a last-minute addition to the show, for sure. But... it felt right, with the way Krys O was ending her show.
	9:06pm Mr. X: ↳ ramencity @9:05 Good choice!
	♥ 9:06pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Krys O. @9:04 Krys O. That makes it even harder. I am so sorry.
	♥ 9:07pm Derek Westerholm: Little Johnny Jewel was a great choice! Great song, sad loss.
	9:08pm Charles: I love your show Mitch!
	♥ 9:08pm HyperDose: Always look forward to Tuesday evenings on Sheena's!
	♥ 9:10pm Pauly from Clifton: Hi Austin, folks! Listening and finishing dishes.
	🎸 ♥ 9:11pm Austin Rich: Okay, I believe I have done all the hard work. Now, let's get to making funnies in the chat!
	🎸 ♥ 9:11pm Austin Rich: ↳ Aitch @9:02 It's a little bit of everything, actually.
	9:12pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Swing For The Crime" by "The Saints" another Bo Diddley beat!
	🎸 ♥ 9:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:12 It's the rhythm that can't be beat. Or... can be?
	♥ 9:12pm Derek Westerholm: I haven't listened to it as much as the first two, but I feel like Prehistoric Sounds was disappointing, and this song was one of the highlights that buoyed it up... Just as I remember it, anyway.
	🎸 ♥ 9:13pm Aitch: ↳ Austin Rich @9:11 Noodling was just a bad Ramen pun
	9:13pm ramencity: ↳ Mr Fab @9:12 "Who Do You Love" is the punkest song ever
	♥ 9:13pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Aitch @9:13 Noodling is an excellent Ramen pun.
	🎸 ♥ 9:14pm Austin Rich: I will admit: there are only a few selections that I included in the line-up tonight. It's really The Ramen City Kid's show tonight.
	9:14pm Mr Fab: ↳ ramencity @9:13 yeah, that song is the very definition of 'bad-ass.'
	🎸 ♥ 9:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Aitch @9:13 Well... two 2023 inclusions...
	🎸 ♥ 9:16pm Austin Rich: Already I can tell... we're gonna go over. Hope no one minds.
	🎸 ♥ 9:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ Aitch @9:13 Or just the perfect ramen pun.
	🎸 ♥ 9:18pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Swing For The Crime" by "The Saints" Saw Chris Bailey live by himself in 1983. Just him a stool and an acoustic. There were about 5 paying customers in a room that held about 800. More staff than crowd, I was one of the staff. He did the whole set though, didn't give up, but it was really sad.
	9:19pm ramencity: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:12 There are some really good songs on Prehistoric Sounds, but .. how you gonna out-do "Eternally Yours"???
	♥ 9:20pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ramencity @9:19 Eternally Yours really is amongst my favourite albums.
	🎸 ♥ 9:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ Aitch @9:18 Wow. That's sort of amazing.
	🎸 ♥ 9:20pm Austin Rich: Eternally Yours is pretty incredible.
	♥ 9:21pm Derek Westerholm: Wow, I knew The Fall covered This Perfect Day, didn't know that Screaming Trees did.
	🎸 ♥ 9:23pm Aitch: Ed Kuepper the Saints' guitarist wrote or co wrote the songs, still plays as the 'Aints (saints no singer) amongst other things.
	🎸 ♥ 9:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Undertow" by "Mark Lanegan" This is a secret treasure in the Sub Pop catalog that I don't hear as many people talk about these days, but I think stands up much better than some of the other albums from that same era, all these years later.
	9:26pm Krys O: Haven’t heard this in a long while even with all the extensive tributes too.
	🎸 ♥ 9:26pm Austin Rich: "Take Warning."
	9:26pm Heather: Hi all! Tuned in and enjoying the show! Going to paint a bit and pop back in once I've made a little progress there!
	♥ 9:27pm Derek Westerholm: Saw the recently reformed Terry Hall Specials a few years back (just pre-covid.) Weird to think he's gone after having just seen him. This song is one of the first I heard by The Specials. Such a fantastic song.
	🎸 ♥ 9:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather @9:26 Keep it up! I saw a snap, and Heather's painting is coming along!
	9:28pm Mr. X: Just listened to this album with my brother after Terry Hall died. Bro was a huge fan of 2-Tone back in the day.
	9:28pm ramencity: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:27 Yeah, it was hard choosing which song to play - that was probably the hardest to decide...
	9:28pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "It's Up To You" by "The Specials" this album was MASSIVE in my life. The Specials on SNL was the most exciting musical performance i'd ever seen.
	♥ 9:29pm drowsy: Specials are definitely one of those bands I would ask a genie to go back in time to see live.
	♥ 9:30pm HyperDose: 3rd wave ska/ska-core changed my life
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ drowsy @9:29 I have, for a long time, imagined a Time Machine for the primary purpose of going back to see famous shows I missed. I used to ask that question at parties: what show in history would you travel back to see?
	9:30pm ramencity: oooh I don't think I've seen that - going to check it out after the show!
	9:32pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @9:30 Velvet Underground & Nico w/the Warhol show, The Exploding Plastic Inevitable.
	🎸 ♥ 9:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:32 Absolutely on my list! I'd like to see a couple vintage Joy Division shows.
	9:34pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @9:30 Billie Holiday at the Savoy, late 1930s.
	9:35pm ramencity: I would love to see Bach rockin' the harpsichord
	9:36pm Mr. X: ↳ ramencity @9:35 Bach vs. Lurch battle of the bands!
	🎸 ♥ 9:36pm Austin Rich: I, stupidly, never saw the Ramones, always saying, "They'll always be around, I'll see them next time." And then: there wasn't a next time. Stupid. So, yeah. I'd like to see at least one Ramones show. Maybe just take in a whole night at CGBGs, back in the day?
	♥ 9:36pm drowsy: ↳ Song: "Passed-Out Dog" by "Cathal Coughlan" This is good.
	♥ 9:37pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Austin Rich @9:36 Austin, absolutely the same re: Ramones.
	9:37pm Krys O: Thanks, Austin. G’night , all.
	🎸 ♥ 9:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O @9:37 Sleep well, Krys O!
	🎸 ♥ 9:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ drowsy @9:36 Yeah. My fave discovery from this show... sadly, after he's gone.
	9:38pm Mr Fab: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:37 I saw Da Brudders live a few times in the '80s, and hate to rub salt in your wound, but live they really did take it to another level.
	♥ 9:38pm HyperDose: Night, Krys. Thanks for a lovely show. Judy taught you well!
	♥ 9:38pm Derek Westerholm: Cathal Coughlan, so glad he kept doing stuff. Lost track after Fatima Mansions. Didn't know he passed. That story you told about the recording sessions & him not mentioning his illness is really touching.
	🎸 ♥ 9:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:38 Even those live recordings are just mind-bending! I've seen footage, but to be there must have been epic.
	9:41pm ramencity: ↳ Mr Fab @9:38 oh man... Austin + I knew a guy from Eugene (Oh, Mr X must know Robert Christie) who saw the Ramones on his honeymoon and got them to autograph his leather jacket..
	9:42pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @9:39 like a 90-minute roller-coaster ride. Absolutely exhilarating. One of those rides you wanted to hop back on as soon as it ended. A night at CBGBs in the late '70s is a good choice. never saw the Talking Heads, and that ship has long since sailed.
	🎸 ♥ 9:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @9:41 I forgot about that story!
	♥ 9:43pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Austin Rich @9:30 Or, alternately, what show would you travel back in time to, in an attempt to un-see it?
	🎸 ♥ 9:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:43 Oh, damn. Good question. I would like my old band, Cathead, to have not done the show with Feeling OK and DuckFuzz. We shouldn't have encouraged that AT ALL.
	9:44pm Mr. X: ↳ ramencity @9:41 Didn't know him well, but I bought records from him and saw his band.
	♥ 9:44pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Austin Rich @9:44 Oh, all of that sounds like such an excellent story!
	♥ 9:45pm drowsy: oh snap - I love these guys , so I am not psyched to hear them today...
	♥ 9:45pm drowsy: ↳ Song: "Escapism For The Future" by "Satisfact" oh snap ref song
	9:45pm Mr. X: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:43 LOL. Eddie Money.
	🎸 ♥ 9:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @9:44 Ramen City Kid makes it sound like I know him. I mostly knew him THROUGH Ramen City Kid. But I loved Oswald 5-0. Cathead talked Robert into playing a show with us, then later had to back out because the date didn't work. So there's a version of our flier from that show that says, "Oswald 5-0 and Cathead." It never happened, but I think about that show that almost happened quite often.
	9:46pm ramencity: ↳ drowsy @9:45 Yeah, Jeremiah Green died on NYEve
	♥ 9:49pm drowsy: ↳ ramencity @9:46 aw. thanks for these appreciations, this is a good show. I would say 'killer show' but that would be gauche, and possibly triggering a pool win somewhere.
	🎸 ♥ 9:51pm Austin Rich: Thanks to The Ramen City Kid, I went a little overboard with my love of MX-80, and spent WAY too much time just listening to that first album + first EP over and over and over again. It is an absolutely ESSENTIAL album in the Lava Lamp Lounge.
	🎸 ♥ 9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Myonga Von Brontee" by "MX-80 Sound" Honestly, I know this album TOO well. SOO GOOD!
	🎸 ♥ 9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Myonga Von Brontee" by "MX-80 Sound" Two Drummers.
	🎸 ♥ 9:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Myonga Von Brontee" by "MX-80 Sound" They had been around for a while, and are really more of a proto-punk band, born out of the early 70's. But they didn't get to record their first single until this late in the game.
	🎸 ♥ 9:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Myonga Von Brontee" by "MX-80 Sound" I love that you can sort of hear the bass player blow a few of the transitions.
	♥ 9:59pm Derek Westerholm: Excellent set already... MX-80 Sound was great! And I have an Associates album, but I'm pretty sure nothing on it is as wonderful as this...!
	9:59pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "Kitchen Person" by "The Associates" Fun fact abt the Associates: it is rumored that the Smiths song "William It Was Really Nothing" was about Associates singer Billy McKenzie - so he wrote a song called "Stephen It Was Really Something"
	♥ 9:59pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ramencity @9:59 That is hilarious!
	10:00pm ramencity: ↳ Derek Westerholm @9:59 Apparently between albums they did a lot of drugs, and a lot of singles...
	🎸 ♥ 10:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Kitchen Person" by "The Associates" I always forget how bonkers this song is.
	♥ 10:00pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ ramencity @10:00 Yes, I've heard that there may have been too many drugs involved...
	10:01pm Feldy: Definitely the only song I’ve heard called Kitchen Person
	♥ 10:01pm Derek Westerholm: This is truly an excellent chaos!
	♥ 10:01pm Derek Westerholm: Awww. Keith.
	🎸 ♥ 10:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Feldy @10:01 I imagine it like, "Oh, don't mind him. He's just a Kitchen Person."
	10:02pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "No Birds" by "Public Image Ltd." Jah Wobble is probably my favorite bassist.
	🎸 ♥ 10:04pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:02 For the show I do with Big City Orchestra, we had a long conversation about Jah Wobble, and we ultimately decided sample a bunch of his bass for something we were working on. Which was an excellent choice, I must say.
	10:04pm ramencity: ↳ Feldy @10:01 Other choice titles on that album: "White Car in Germany" and "Tell Me Easter's On Friday"
	🎸 ♥ 10:07pm Austin Rich: I should remind everyone: Next week, Xeres of Xeron will be joining us for an overview of the various international influences that have impacted the shape and sound of The Mid-Valley. Bring a Number 2 Pencil, and a notebook!
	10:09pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "No Birds" by "Public Image Ltd." my 1990 "Metal Box" CD that came in an actual metal box (like that pic) is rusted shut. An issue that shouldn't effect my vinyl copy of "Second Edition."
	🎸 ♥ 10:09pm Austin Rich: And then, on Valentine's Day, Heather (who lurks here in the chat often) will be joining me, to take live calls, and offer advice on romance and dating. Two ABSOLUTELY Qualified experts.
	🎸 ♥ 10:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:09 Some gimmicks are take the joke too far, I guess? Maybe we should get Mr. Fab a can-opener if we do well during the Marathon?
	🎸 ♥ 10:11pm Austin Rich: Oh yeah. We are definitely going over this hour...
	10:11pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @10:07 Yay!
	🎸 ♥ 10:12pm Austin Rich: KZEL, in the 80's, would often play a sample of Robin Williams singing in an Elmer Fudd voice, the intro to this song... and then transition into the Springsteen version. I think they must have had it on a cart, because I heard that exact transition on KZEL for YEARS.
	♥ 10:13pm drowsy: ↳ Song: "It Emits Sounds (Instrumental)" by "Mini-Mutations" Wait - you made a thing with the Dicktown/Get Your War Own crew?
	🎸 ♥ 10:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ drowsy @10:13 No... just sampled them.
	🎸 ♥ 10:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:13 I've been trying to send one to David Rees for a while, but I'm not quite sure he's gotten one yet.
	♥ 10:13pm drowsy: ↳ Song: "Fire" by "Pointer Sisters" I remember that WRKO spliced their call sign into this song. Sounds like everyone latched on to this
	♥ 10:14pm drowsy: ↳ Austin Rich @10:13 Keep trying! Maybe you need to send a pencil-sharpening order to get his attention.
	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ drowsy @10:14 Good idea! I am a Patron on his current podcast, so maybe I'll get his attention that way? Who can say...
	🎸 ♥ 10:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:15 In the meantime, it's available as a musical postcard: wtbc.bandcamp.com...
	10:20pm ramencity: I have been in a Delfonic headspace ever since we recorded this show.
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:20 This next set is sort of off the hook, as the kids say.
	🎸 ♥ 10:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:20 Oh! The Link: www.gofundme.com...
	🎸 ♥ 10:25pm Austin Rich: Man, Walter Washington's voice! Holy cats...
	🎸 ♥ 10:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "He Don't Really Love You" by "Delfonics" The "Moon Shot" record label logo might be the greatest record label logo in all history.
	10:26pm ramencity: I knew you'd dig that
	🎸 ♥ 10:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:26 I might need to steal it for a Shot Reverse Shot release.
	🎸 ♥ 10:27pm WR: ↳ Song: "Heavily Vibrations (You Give Me)" by "Walter Wash... Many many thank yous for including WWW.
	10:27pm ramencity: ↳ WR @10:27 Cheers!
	10:28pm Mr. X: Loving the R&B segment.
	🎸 ♥ 10:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:28 It's a genre I always love and know nothing about.
	10:29pm ramencity: ↳ Mr. X @10:28 Yeah, shake it!
	10:29pm listener kreightoven: BANGER
	🎸 ♥ 10:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ listener kreightoven @10:29 Hell yeah.
	10:31pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "It's My Life (Alternate Take)" by "Betty Davis" All this and married to Miles Davis too?
	10:31pm Mr Fab: I admit my knowledge of the members of the Impressions begins and ends with Curtis Mayfield. (I just heard “Superfly” in the supermarket today. Which was super.)
	10:31pm Mr Fab: ↳ Mr Fab @10:31 So you might say the other members didn’t leave an impression on me. (sorry)
	🎸 ♥ 10:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:31 I smiled. Thanks for that!
	10:32pm ramencity: ↳ Mr Fab @10:31 Zing! Yeah, I don't know a whole lot about them, but Curtis is such an amazing cat
	10:32pm listener kreightoven: WOW and Betty. 😍
	🎸 ♥ 10:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Portland Oregon" by "Loretta Lynn" I miss living in PDX quite a bit, and I think about it a lot. This song really hits different, now that I don't live there anymore.
	10:32pm Heather: ↳ Mr Fab @10:31 😂
	🎸 ♥ 10:34pm Austin Rich: Slow Gin Fizz always reminds me of Johnny, as the Ramen City Kid can probably imagine why...
	10:34pm Mr. X: ↳ Song: "Portland Oregon" by "Loretta Lynn" /w Jack White!
	10:34pm ramencity: ↳ Mr. X @10:34 yeah, crazy!
	🎸 ♥ 10:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:31 Also: I love a good "Super" joke, too. I like to deploy that one any time Marla makes soup.
	10:35pm ramencity: I should know more abt Loretta as my parents are country-music fans
	10:36pm ramencity: ↳ Song: "Portland Oregon" by "Loretta Lynn" I first discovered this song when we had a "sloe gin fizz" party years ago, and I was looking for songs about sloe gin
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:36 ...curse my terrible spelling...
	10:39pm ramencity: "Austin: Gettin' It In Every Ear Since 1992"
	🎸 ♥ 10:40pm Austin Rich: ↳ ramencity @10:39 with more and more hearing loss, every year...
	🎸 ♥ 10:42pm Austin Rich: The particular sounds and tones they get on this album feel lodged in my head for all time. It seems so completely specific and unrepeatable.
	10:43pm Mr. X: Just discovered David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti's project Thought Gang recently. Some wild stuff.
	🎸 ♥ 10:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @10:43 I haven't heard that one. I probably should, as they seem to work VERY well together.

	10:46pm Heather: Go over! I'm quiet tonight but super enjoying the show. Great stuff, Austin and Ramen City! Thanks so much! !
	🎸 ♥ 10:48pm Austin Rich: I know I've said this before, but as a wee lad, still listening to grunge and Led Zeppelin, Ramen City Kid took me under his wing, gave me a Wipers album and an Unwound album, and played a little Stravinsky for me. I owe him a debt I have yet to repay for that kindness.

	🎸 ♥ 10:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:51 Every time I think you've mentioned the show I'm the most jealous of, you drop another. My Time Machine answer is now: I want to just follow Mr. Fab around at shows.

	10:55pm Geoff-U: We might be celebrating my death if it wasn't for the truly incredible power of MRNA vaccines
	🎸 ♥ 10:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @10:55 Praise Science!
	10:55pm Geoff-U: I spent two nights partying in a dirty little port town to the north and came back with a little bug called COVID
