	🎸 ♥ 9:02pm Kat in Chicago: Yes last week was excellent
	9:02pm Charles: Mid-valley. Mutations.
	9:02pm Geoff-U: Hi all :wave:
	9:03pm Arvo: I thought it was 30 years. I remember 1993 being the number. Sorry!
	♥ 9:04pm Barno in Akron: How do you do, fellow kids?
	9:05pm Charles: That song is awesome
	🎸 ♥ 9:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Barno in Akron @9:04 We're doin' alright, methinks.
	🎸 ♥ 9:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ HyperDose @9:00 I'm so glad you liked it! I had a lot of fun putting it together.
	🎸 ♥ 9:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:02 Always a pleasure, Kat!
	🎸 ♥ 9:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:02 Both statements are true!
	🎸 ♥ 9:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @9:02 Hooray for Geoff-U!
	🎸 ♥ 9:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:05 I love that Devo Song. But Devo is the best, in general.
	9:08pm Arvo: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:02 Good to see you, Kat! How is life on the outside?
	9:09pm Mr Fab: Austin! Kicking the show with a banger.
	🎸 ♥ 9:09pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @9:08 Outside of what? :)
	🎸 ♥ 9:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:09 Gotta love those Coachwhips. I really regret missing their shows.
	9:09pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @9:08 The classical station by me had a little segment focusing on the film scores of Mark Mothersbaugh this past Saturday.
	🎸 ♥ 9:10pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Song: "You Gonna Get It" by "Coachwhips" Yeah I'm gonna say Bangers won that round
	🎸 ♥ 9:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:09 Oooo. That sounds like fun. His movie work is pretty enjoyable.
	🎸 ♥ 9:11pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:10 I always interpreted it like, "There's some songs, those are Bangers. But those other songs? Those are FUCKERS."
	9:11pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @9:09 Saw them on their first tour I think, in Chicago, Fireside Bowl, where I bought two CDs from them, including the one here.
	9:11pm Arvo: It is an 18 minute "album"
	9:13pm Arvo: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:09 Outside of radio? I dunno. I don't go outside.
	🎸 ♥ 9:13pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @9:13 Chicago has had some shite weather in recent days, you wouldn't be missing much here.
	🎸 ♥ 9:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:11 I feel like everything they did was "short." In a good way.
	9:14pm Mr Fab: ↳ Arvo @9:13 and inside of a radio, it's too dark.
	🎸 ♥ 9:15pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Mr Fab @9:14 Too dark to read?
	9:15pm Geoff-U: The Yamaha Rm1x looks like it was a cool box!
	9:15pm Mr Fab: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:15 Yep, you caught me ripping off Groucho Marx!
	🎸 ♥ 9:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:15 I've been watching Marx Brothers movies lately. I'm not sure why anyone would watch anything else, to be honest.
	🎸 ♥ 9:16pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Mr Fab @9:15 You always steal from the best
	9:18pm Arvo: ↳ Mr Fab @9:14 I set you up for it!
	🎸 ♥ 9:19pm Austin Rich: I just noticed your nice new avatar, Kat. Fantastic!
	🎸 ♥ 9:21pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Austin Rich @9:19 haha yes thank you, I changed the colors up so I didn't know if you'd recognize. That story & recording resonated with me quite a bit.
	9:21pm Mr Fab: I like the idea of putting on shows, but wouldn't have the foggiest idea of how to go about it. Kudos to you, Austin.
	🎸 ♥ 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:21 I was SO excited to find it. I do love the way Boris reads it, and it's such an excellent story.
	🎸 ♥ 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:21 We'll, it's sort of easy when you just play "live" recordings on your show. But let's make it a party, right?
	9:23pm Geoff-U: I went to Chicago for the first time last November... it's a brilliant city. I kind of want to move there. So much amazing music!
	🎸 ♥ 9:23pm Krys O.: G'night, all! Have a great night!
	🎸 ♥ 9:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:23 Sleep well, Krys O!
	🎸 ♥ 9:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @9:23 I visited once, and had a great week. It's a big city; there's always lots to do. And that's before you decide to go outside.
	🎸 ♥ 9:26pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Geoff-U @9:23 I'm actually moving out at the end of the month, you can have my spot :) it is a great city, I've spent most of the last forty years there, but I decided I don't want to get old here.
	9:26pm Arvo: ↳ Geoff-U @9:23 It really does have more character than a lot of cities, and especially the music scene. I am glad I don't live there anymore, but mainly because it's a violent and brutally cold place.
	🎸 ♥ 9:27pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @9:26 I've been lucky enough to avoid most of the violence, and it's not as cold as it used to be, but now we get tornado warnings and I don't like those
	🎸 ♥ 9:28pm Austin Rich: I went to a lot of museums, and they were all really incredible.
	🎸 ♥ 9:29pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Austin Rich @9:28 The museums are excellent
	🎸 ♥ 9:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Chaque Nuit Tu T'enfuis" by "Yves Simon" Cat on album cover alert!
	9:29pm Geoff-U: I may just go back for a few longer visits and soak in more of it.
	🎸 ♥ 9:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:29 The Field Museum is one of the best places on earth. SO AMAZING.
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Geoff-U @9:29 I wouldn't talk you out of it by any means.
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Austin Rich @9:29 Yves Simon looks like a sweet cat lover
	9:30pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @9:28 The Surgical Museum? Unbelievable place. They had a replica of a beating heart the size of a room, which they may or may not have ripped off from the museum of science and industry. I used to do catering jobs and have served booze to rich people in every museum in the city at least four times.
	🎸 ♥ 9:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:30 I agree. I would trust him to catsit for me, when and if I can ever go on tour again.
	9:31pm Geoff-U: My old roommate and friend was the original drummer of Alkaline Trio, a Chicago band of some repute.
	🎸 ♥ 9:32pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Geoff-U @9:31 Yes indeed!
	🎸 ♥ 9:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:30 Marla and I made a point of going to all the museums we could while we were there. We were NOT disappointed.
	🎸 ♥ 9:32pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Wenn Ich Ein Junge Wär" by "Rita Pavone" Is it Rita Pavone week on WFMU? I've heard "My Name Is Potato" twice and maybe another track too.
	🎸 ♥ 9:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:32 "Sych-ro-ni-city!"
	9:33pm Arvo: ↳ Geoff-U @9:31 I saw them open for The Blue Meanies. Many times. When emo meant something other than it does now. Not my cup of tea. The Blue Meanies are one of the best bands I have ever seen live, and they kinda got a raw deal with their major label debut.
	🎸 ♥ 9:34pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @9:33 Yeah the Blue Meanies had some bad luck, deserved better
	9:34pm Geoff-U: We didn't manage to get to the John Hancock observation deck (360 Chicago) until after dark due to general disorganization but I think that made it actually even cooler! The architectural river tour was amazing too. So many fascinating stories.
	🎸 ♥ 9:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:33 I remember The Blue Meanies being pretty good. Been years since I heard them.
	🎸 ♥ 9:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @9:34 That observation deck is fun, day or night.
	🎸 ♥ 9:35pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Geoff-U @9:34 I was up there many years ago, on a foggy day.. After dark would probably be super cool.
	9:35pm Geoff-U: ↳ Arvo @9:33 I will have to check out Blue Meanies! I'm not really into Alkaline either, was just funny living with Glenn, he was still getting fat checks from Asian Man Records and blowing them almost instantly
	9:36pm Arvo: ↳ Geoff-U @9:34 I have never had a desire to be in that observation deck during the day. It was nice at night. Rumor has it the observation deck is cursed and someone was mysteriously thrown through it despite it having extremely thick glass.
	🎸 ♥ 9:37pm Kat in Chicago: ooh
	9:37pm Geoff-U: ↳ Arvo @9:36 At night the view had a great Bladerunner/Batman vibe and they sold whiskey so I was happy as a clam
	🎸 ♥ 9:38pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:37 (regarding The Gayletts)
	9:38pm Arvo: ↳ Geoff-U @9:35 The Blue Meanies were unfairly lumped into the ska / punk scene, but would be more apt opening for Mr. Bungle or System of A Down.
	🎸 ♥ 9:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:38 Yeah, this song hits perfectly!
	🎸 ♥ 9:40pm Austin Rich: You were right, Arvo! I do like that cover!
	9:42pm Arvo: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:38 Kat, do you remember James at Wluw? Well I was asked to DJ his wedding, but I refused to play Phil Collins, and anyway before I screwed that up, I insisted that they play deeper cuts, such as the Rolling Stones version of That's How Strong My Love Is, and some other stuff by ABBA other than Dancing Queen. You see, I bartended weddings weekly, and just could not bare to be that guy. I can't do low hanging fruit, but I regret not being part of that special night, as I am very fond of James. We are still in touch. They recently had their ten year anniversary.
	🎸 ♥ 9:43pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @9:42 James who? The only James I know there is James Porter (Hoodoo Party on Saturdays once a month)
	🎸 ♥ 9:44pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @9:42 I get the wedding music fatigue, I don't think I could ever be that guy
	9:44pm Arvo: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:43 He is in LA now. Did 6am Monday mornings. Not Porter.
	🎸 ♥ 9:45pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @9:44 Yeah I don't think Porter is partnered. I didn't know the James you're referring to.
	🎸 ♥ 9:46pm Kat in Chicago: Chris Connelly!
	9:46pm Arvo: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:44 I have bartended hundreds of weddings. Many of them millionaires. My favorite was George Lucas's wedding, although I do no care for Star Wars and have never seen a single one in its entirety. But Prince did a surprise show with a 23 piece band and it was really good.
	🎸 ♥ 9:47pm Kat in Chicago: I was supposed to be in a graveyard tonight. Not for sex though haha, I was supposed to see Kali Malone at Bohemian National Cemetery, but with iffy weather and other issues I didn't make it.
	🎸 ♥ 9:47pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @9:46 Wow AMAZING
	🎸 ♥ 9:47pm Austin Rich: Marla (my wife) used to do catering here in the PNW, and did A LOT of weddings, too. You would have lots to commiserate over.
	9:49pm Arvo: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:47 I miss that cemetery. Near WZRD. I will neither confirm nor deny having sex in any cemetery or radio stations.
	9:50pm Arvo: I would love to see Kali Malone there.
	🎸 ♥ 9:51pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @9:50 I've missed her twice in Chicago now. Hoping to get another chance in NYC.
	🎸 ♥ 9:52pm Heather Z: Hi everyone! Been tuned in and painting! You're killing it, Arvo! Great stuff!!
	🎸 ♥ 9:52pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Concrete Sea" by "Terry Jacks" This is pretty cool, I've never heard it.
	🎸 ♥ 9:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Concrete Sea" by "Terry Jacks" I didn't know this song before Arvo planned this show, and I have to say, I have completely fallen in love. I've been thinking about covering it.
	9:53pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @9:47 Catering was fun. I got to see what rich people do. One party I did was a James Bond theme. They had a car from one of the movies and a little helicopter was flying around with hors d'oeuvres hanging from it where it was apprehended by a lady in red velvet, who would hand the food items to patrons. There was a Shirley Bassey sound alike singer on a spiral staircase. It was beautiful. And who headlines? Maroon 5. And they were drunk. That was rough.
	9:53pm Arvo: ↳ Heather Z @9:52 Hi Heather! Honored you could tune in. Would like to see your paintings some time.
	🎸 ♥ 9:54pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @9:53 oof. Better off with the Shirley Bassey soundalike.
	🎸 ♥ 9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:52 Yay! Nice to see you made it! How is the painting coming along?
	9:55pm Arvo: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:52 The B Side is a cat song, too. The Poppy Family is essential, if you don't know. Husband and wife, Terry and Susan Jacks, if I am not mistaken.
	🎸 ♥ 9:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:53 Marla might have stories like that, but she mostly has stories of people being mad that they were out of some drink mixer, and how people at weddings are really rude to bartenders. Those are the main stories I remember.
	🎸 ♥ 9:55pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @9:53 I'm glad to be here! Tuesday nights are my favorites! I'll email you a pic of tonight's progress and you can tell Austin it looks NOTHING like a Grateful Dead skeleton! 😹
	🎸 ♥ 9:55pm Aitch: Lurking, vaguely unsettling sounds
	🎸 ♥ 9:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:55 Only a little, I mean. But... a little goes a long way.
	🎸 ♥ 9:56pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @9:55 Oh I remember Susan and Terry Jacks very well.
	🎸 ♥ 9:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Aitch @9:55 Aitch! Another of the cat fans is among us.
	9:57pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @9:55 The mayor was extremely mad at me for being out of limes at the end of the night. Not mayor Daley.
	🎸 ♥ 9:57pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:56 Harrumph.
	🎸 ♥ 9:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:57 That sounds more like the stories I remember Marla telling about catering.
	9:58pm Arvo: I did a Halloween party at the cultural center where I was painted green on most of my body as some sort of dragon, waited all night to scare the hell out of Mayor Daley, but he entered through the other rear.
	🎸 ♥ 9:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:57 You can make fun of my terrible taste in TV Shows, or how I make you watch dumb movies you aren't that fond of.
	9:59pm Arvo: Ok so this Saint song and the following Teddy songs are serious trivia here. What books are they mentioned in?
	🎸 ♥ 10:00pm Aitch: I paid for my Uni with bartending and functions and such. Love the show Party Down, it's right on the money.
	🎸 ♥ 10:00pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:59 I mean.... I made you watch The Circle so.... we're even there!
	🎸 ♥ 10:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ Aitch @10:00 Marla says Party Down is SPOT ON.
	🎸 ♥ 10:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:00 ... a show with better representation than every show and movie I had you watch, so...
	🎸 ♥ 10:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:59 I'll guess "Lonesome Dove" because that's the only book I can imagine might reference two country songs?
	🎸 ♥ 10:02pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:01 The Circle does pass the Bechdel test with flying colors! This is true.
	10:02pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @9:58 Early in my catering career, I worked for a company that let the client boss us around. One of them tried to make me build a pyramid out of wine glasses, and got snippy with me about it, so I built it, and then knocked all of them crashing to the floor. That was at the airplane exhibit in the museum of science and industry. I then took two hours to "find the bathroom".
	🎸 ♥ 10:03pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:02 It also has one character accusing another character of "friendzoning" them, so... yeah. The Circle is problematic.
	🎸 ♥ 10:03pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @10:02 haha, well done!
	🎸 ♥ 10:04pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:03 Chloe gets every pass in my book. She's so dreamy....
	10:04pm Arvo: Two different books, to be clear
	🎸 ♥ 10:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Dark Is The Night" by "John Hinckley" He sort of reminds me Daniel Johnston, in a way.
	🎸 ♥ 10:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:04 Hurm... I'm stumped.
	🎸 ♥ 10:05pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @10:02 Haaaa! Served em right for being bossy. And museum bathrooms are notoriously hard to find. Everyone knows that.
	🎸 ♥ 10:06pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:04 I know I said this in our call about The Circle, but Chloe sort of reminds me of the kinds of chaotic girls that were sort of scary to date. Like... genuine terror.
	🎸 ♥ 10:06pm Kat in Chicago: Hoo boy. Does Hinckley have a Bandcamp?
	🎸 ♥ 10:07pm Austin Rich: This sample at the beginning of this commercial is from a conversation that Mike Watt had with his guest about... MUTATION FEST!
	🎸 ♥ 10:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:07 (The guest was Randal Carter, who is participating in MUTATION FEST.)
	10:07pm Arvo: He had an itunes, not sure what else outside of the YouTube, streaming aggregators. The itunes single is gone now for some reason.
	🎸 ♥ 10:08pm Austin Rich: Man, the "Next Time" Bot really can't say "Don Haugen" very well.
	🎸 ♥ 10:09pm Kat in Chicago: Mutation Fest sounds like it's gonna be fun
	🎸 ♥ 10:09pm Kat in Chicago: No clue on the movies/books
	🎸 ♥ 10:10pm Austin Rich: I suspect you are right, Arvo; if there weren't a Pandemic, I think the novelty combined with genuine fans would have done VERY well for Mr. Hinckley.
	🎸 ♥ 10:10pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:06 She's chaotic but truly, I think for real or she's the best actor in the world, a good person with a kind heart! What? Stop! I do not have a crush on Chloe. C'mon.
	🎸 ♥ 10:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:09 I think so. A lot of my friends sent in some cool live tracks and stuff. Gonna be fun!
	10:11pm Arvo: "She's Got To Be A Saint" plays during the prom in Carrie, the book. And "Teddy Bear Song" is in the book version of Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.
	🎸 ♥ 10:11pm Austin Rich: I do love a good Organ as well, Arvo. Sort of jealous of sitting in and listening to the organists.
	🎸 ♥ 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:11 Oh shit! I haven't read Carrie in ages, and I completely forgot about that! Good pull. Haven't read that Tarantino book yet. But I've heard it's good.
	🎸 ♥ 10:12pm Kat in Chicago: ah, I read Carrie the book a million years ago, didn't recall that though. I kind of hate that genre of song, honestly
	🎸 ♥ 10:13pm Austin Rich: All that sports money could be spent on so many better things... Music Schools... housing...
	🎸 ♥ 10:13pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Austin Rich @10:13 No. Shit.
	10:14pm Arvo: Dennis Scott is still the organist of The Music Box theater in Chicago, and he would let me sit with his partner and friends in the balcony by the projectionist. He is an excellent human. He has a speakeasy theme in his basement with old theater seats and three different kinds of organs. I did an article on him in New City Chicago, weekly paper.
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:13 It could even be spent on creating opportunities for families and children to feel secure at home so... they would have the chance to play sports with their friends?
	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:14 That is excellent! My kind of organist!
	10:15pm Arvo: I used to have hundreds of organ records. Back when thrift stores were not vintage merchandise stores.
	🎸 ♥ 10:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:15 Seriously. They used to be everywhere. You don't see 'em so much anymore.
	🎸 ♥ 10:16pm Austin Rich: This show is gonna go over, by several minutes. Sorry everyone!
	🎸 ♥ 10:17pm Kat in Chicago: No complaints here. I gave up on accomplishing anything tonight, I'm just drinking beer haha
	🎸 ♥ 10:17pm Austin Rich: I know I've complained to Heather about this, but in the 90's, you could find mannequins at thrift stores, and not even that costly. We used to always have one around the house in the old days; just go any buy one, they're cheap. Now you can't find them anywhere at any reasonable prices.
	🎸 ♥ 10:18pm Heather Z: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:17 Me too! Clink!
	10:18pm Arvo: The Tarantino book is alright. It's fun. Tarantino wrote himself into it, which ruined it for me as a serious novel, but I love the movie. I laughed hysterically for several minutes in the theater.
	🎸 ♥ 10:18pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Heather Z @10:18 cheers Heather!
	10:19pm Arvo: I am a night person and am drinking coffee. Cheers.
	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:17 I found two torso mannequins at a JC Penney closeout a few years ago, BOGO at 20 bucks! I super lucked out on that. And now my living room is complete.
	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm Austin Rich: Announcer Mitch gets her name from a mannequin that my friend kiisu turned into a telephone. You talked into Mitch's mouth, and her hand de-tached, and had the ear-piece in it. The dialing pad was on her chest; you had to take off her top to make a call. Most people didn't want to use Mitch to make calls, for some reason. Announcer Mitch Headroom is named after Mitch The Mannequin, who I dearly miss.
	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @10:19 clink I am naturally a night person but I'm more qualified for day jobs. sigh.
	10:20pm Arvo: I regret to say I never had a mannequin. I have mostly insisted on living alone. Kinda odd to have a mannequin in that context...
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Bitin' My Fingernails & Thinkin' of You" by "Erne... 'm a sucker for Ernest Tubb.
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm Heather Z: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:20 Arg, same Kat. I'll drink to that!
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:20 We usually had lots of roommates, so I guess we didn't feel weird about mannequins.
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Austin Rich @10:20 I hate making phone calls but I would have made some from Mitch! That sounds awesome
	🎸 ♥ 10:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:20 I'm not qualified to work, I realized. I'm barely qualified to play.
	10:22pm Arvo: I love certain country. Ernest Tubb being among them. Yeah that mannequin phone does sound cool.
	🎸 ♥ 10:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:21 Mitch was the best. I needed to give Mitch a temp home, and then... never saw her again.
	🎸 ♥ 10:23pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @10:20 Hmm.... odd to have mannequins when one lives alone, you say? Hmmm
	10:23pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Jesus Gonna Make Up Your Dyin' Bed" by "The Jubil... I think Led Zep borrowed from this song for "In My Time of Dying."
	🎸 ♥ 10:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:22 My grandmother LOVED Ernest Tubb, so we listened to him together.
	10:23pm Arvo: Well for a bachelor guy...
	🎸 ♥ 10:23pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:22 That's kind of heartbreaking. I'm so sorry!
	🎸 ♥ 10:23pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Mr Fab @10:23 why not, they stole everything else
	🎸 ♥ 10:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:23 I think you might be right!
	🎸 ♥ 10:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:23 I pay tribute every week on the radio.
	🎸 ♥ 10:24pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:24 I'm just learning that now and Announcer Mitch has become even more special!
	🎸 ♥ 10:25pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Song: "No More Bridges To Burn" by "Cordell Jackson" I've seen Cordell Jackson, wasn't this show though as I was in NYC at the time
	10:25pm Arvo: ↳ Mr Fab @10:23 Most certainly they did not write that song, but nothing against them. I only in the last five years or so decided to listen to Led Zeppelin. I am generally impressed with their work on days that I am in the mood to skip the radio hits.
	🎸 ♥ 10:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:24 She's the best. She was a party animal.
	🎸 ♥ 10:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:25 "Communication Breakdown" is a pretty good little punk song, for a band that didn't seem interested in that kind of thing.
	🎸 ♥ 10:26pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:25 And she is still that, even just as a voice these days!
	🎸 ♥ 10:26pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @10:25 I have decidedly mixed feelings about the Zep
	10:27pm Arvo: My grandmother used to take me to the bar where my grandfather worked as a bartender, and I used to play the juke box. She always wanted me to play "All My Exes Live In Texas".
	10:27pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:26 Johnny Ramone's direct guitar playing inspiration.
	🎸 ♥ 10:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:27 The Dickies do a pretty good version of it, with hilariously unintelligible lyrics. I've always said that "Communication Breakdown" might be the best thing LZ every recorded.
	10:29pm Arvo: ↳ Song: "One Meat Ball" by "Josh White" This song was covered by The Andrews Sisters and KMFDM.
	10:30pm Mr Fab: ↳ Arvo @10:29 together?!?
	🎸 ♥ 10:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:30 It's the Mash-Up that's WAITING to happen.
	10:31pm Arvo: "No Quarter" is just a massive song for me.
	🎸 ♥ 10:31pm Heather Z: ↳ Mr Fab @10:30 Omg yessss
	🎸 ♥ 10:31pm Kat in Chicago: "Mrs. Texas Gladden." When women's names were totally obliterated by marital status
	🎸 ♥ 10:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:31 I was just wondering what her real name was.
	🎸 ♥ 10:32pm Heather Z: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:31 Ugh. Yes.
	🎸 ♥ 10:33pm Austin Rich: I was just gifted a 45 that my Grandmother recorded, at a novelty recording studio, when she was 16, as a gift to her parents. It found it's way back to my grandmother, and then my aunt, then my cousin, then my mom, and now me. I may well debut the single during Mutation Fest. I haven't yet made a digital transfer, but I think it will play all the way through!
	🎸 ♥ 10:34pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Austin Rich @10:33 I want to hear that!
	🎸 ♥ 10:34pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:33 I'd be so excited to hear that!!
	10:35pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:33 HECK yeah!
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:34 I haven't listened yet. I've been nervous to play it. But I have some tapes (and a few digital recordings) of her talking about her life, so I might try to assemble a little something to go with the single.
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm Kat in Chicago: I used to go to Schubas a LOT. But not for a number of years, even pre pandemic.
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Austin Rich @10:35 yes, yes
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Austin Rich: Evelyn Martin will be a star, on Sheena's!
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:35 That would be so awesome!
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:36 Her fans are already clamoring!
	🎸 ♥ 10:38pm Heather Z: I loved that You Are My Sunshine. I adore that song. Never heard that version and it was a real treat!
	🎸 ♥ 10:38pm Austin Rich: She was a riveter at Boeing during WWII, and raising all her kids, on her own, mostly because the men ran off. After a point she just stopped getting married, and only had boyfriends. She was pretty formidable.
	10:38pm Mr Fab: remember when Cordell Jackson was on Letterman? Elderly woman in fancy white dress rockin on the electric guitar. Visiting Memphis in the '90s, I found a VHS tape of a music video she made - a rap song about how her husband just likes watching basketball.
	🎸 ♥ 10:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Heav'n, Heav'n" by "Joel Chadabe, Irene Oliver (S... I have also fallen in love with this track, Arvo. So amazing!
	10:39pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Heav'n, Heav'n" by "Joel Chadabe, Irene Oliver (S... what the holy heck is going on here?!
	🎸 ♥ 10:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:38 I wanna see that! I should check YouTube...
	🎸 ♥ 10:39pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Heav'n, Heav'n" by "Joel Chadabe, Irene Oliver (S... oh wow I have never heard this
	10:40pm Arvo: ↳ Heather Z @10:38 They have two records that are from the fifties, and I highly recommend both of them. Nonstop bombast! One of my modest achievements was to open for a huge marching band called Mucca Pizza. It's the sort of thing that never fails to make me happy.
	10:41pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:38 It was still cheap on discogs last I checked. I ended up buying my own copy after playing it on WZRD.
	🎸 ♥ 10:41pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @10:40 Mucca Pazza! I haven't seen them in years but oh what a joyful bunch.
	10:41pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:39 yeah, since i no longer have a VHS player...
	🎸 ♥ 10:42pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @10:40 Ooo I will have to see what I can see about those records! And holy heck! Amazing! I don't know why but I have a real soft spot for marching band music.
	🎸 ♥ 10:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:41 I was thinking that I should get one, just to transfer stuff to the digital realm. I keep finding things that never made the leap to the internet.
	🎸 ♥ 10:42pm Austin Rich: "Souza is Sexy"
	🎸 ♥ 10:43pm Kat in Chicago: Mucca Pazza did a killer cover of "Chick Habit"
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:42 Or at least gets me revved up! Probably all the years in community band wired Sousa into my psyche?
	10:44pm Arvo: ↳ Heather Z @10:42 Before my project Blood Rhythms, I basically did a group of people who just made a racket with horns, and we opened for marching bands a lot. Black Bear Combo especially. Extra Action Marching Band was a fun one, didn't open for them, though.
	🎸 ♥ 10:45pm Kat in Chicago: Black Bear Combo was cool, I've heard nothing about them recently tho
	🎸 ♥ 10:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:44 You did an ambient horn performance that time we played together, the night before Halloween, 2018.
	🎸 ♥ 10:45pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @10:44 That's fantastic!! Any recordings from that time?
	🎸 ♥ 10:46pm Heather Z: This is reminding me of that Most Unwanted Song experiment and I am here for it! Fingers crossed for opera cowboys?
	🎸 ♥ 10:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "H-Co" by "Alesia Cosmos" Damn!
	10:47pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:45 Yes but in the 2000s I could never get anyone to do drones, so it was just racket! Everyone wanted to be Miles Davis. I just wanted to blow into the horn. I did one where I blew into the horn without playing any phrases. There are some things collected on the Blood Rhythms release "Cutting Teeth"
	10:48pm Arvo: H-Co is the next track, fyi
	🎸 ♥ 10:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:48 Whoops!
	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:47 I think I have Cutting Teeth on my computer... will have to dig around... But I did like that show we did. I have a recording of it somewhere. Been meaning to dig it out.
	10:52pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:50 I was happy with that set. We only played a few times in Seattle. Once was with six speakers. Good shows, pre pandemic.
	🎸 ♥ 10:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:52 Yeah. I'm very tempted to put on a mask and go see John Duncan, when he plays in PDX. (I was listed.) But... damn. Shows are risky now!
	10:53pm Arvo: I worked with some great people. They weren't all trying to be Miles Davis, to be fair, but there was less drone and more razzle dazzle usually.
	10:55pm Arvo: ↳ Heather Z @10:46 There was a plumber in Chicago that only communicated by singing opera. I was told that it was his mental illness. I met him once, he is on a record compilation that I had. Can't remember his name.
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:55 That reminds me of that Bruce Willis movie, where they are burglars, but they use the timing of songs to work out all their heists.
	10:57pm Geoff-U: This song is really cool... this is your band Arvo?
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @10:55 OMG it sounds like Brandon Johnson is the new mayor of Chicago
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @10:55 Oh wow! That's mighty interesting. I don't think I know any opera singers nor, sadly, plumbers because I'm going to need one or both at some point, I'm sure.
	10:58pm Arvo: ↳ Geoff-U @10:57 No sir! Blood Rhythms is my thing. This is jliat! He studied under John Cage. This is from 1973
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @10:57 I believe this is still Alesia Cosmos.
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:58 Whoops!
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:57 That wasn't supposed to be a reply to Arvo :) but it should be good news
	10:58pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:58 This is jliat and it's about to blend into Lettera 22
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:58 Thanks! I'm off my game tonight.
	10:59pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:56 oh god, "Hudson Hawk"? PLEASE don't remind me of that one! curls into fetal position
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm Heather Z: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:58 Yesss I like this good news!
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:59 I don't remember anything else about it, but I don't remember it being good.
	11:00pm Arvo: Now it's Lettera 22
	🎸 ♥ 11:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @11:00 Danke!
	11:00pm Geoff-U: Lots of great music, thanks for coming on the show Arvo!! and of course thanks Austin :)
	🎸 ♥ 11:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:58 If I'm not mistaken, Chicago has has some... less than great mayors... so this is important?
	11:01pm Geoff-U: I will dig into your catalog more tomorrow (the advantage of a work-from-home desk job is listening to 8 hours of music a day :)
	🎸 ♥ 11:01pm Heather Z: It's that time!! Thanks as always for an awesome show, Austin! And Arvo!! You totally rocked it! Thank you so much!
	🎸 ♥ 11:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @11:01 I recommend No Part of It: nopartofit.bandcamp.com
	11:02pm Arvo: ↳ Geoff-U @11:01 Thanks! I hope you dig it!
	🎸 ♥ 11:02pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Austin Rich @11:01 This should be good news in that regard. My last vote as a Chicagoan.
	11:02pm Arvo: ↳ Heather Z @11:01 Thanks Heather!
	🎸 ♥ 11:03pm Kat in Chicago: Excellent show!
	11:03pm Arvo: ↳ Kat in Chicago @11:03 Thanks!
	🎸 ♥ 11:03pm Austin Rich: There's a little bit more. Since we can, we're going long...
	11:04pm Geoff-U: ↳ Austin Rich @11:02 Bookmarked!
	🎸 ♥ 11:05pm Austin Rich: Ya'll get one more chance to hear Randolph Carter and Mike Watt plug MUTATION FEST again at the end of the show, so stay tuned for that!
	11:09pm Arvo: ↳ Geoff-U @11:04 Thanks!
	🎸 ♥ 11:15pm Austin Rich: Thanks again everyone, for listening! (And sticking around!) See ya'll next week, for MUTATION FEST!
	11:17pm Arvo: Thanks for having me!
	🎸 ♥ 11:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @11:17 Of course! As usual, another great show!

Mid-Valley Mutations with Austin Rich: Playlist from April 4, 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.

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."

	🎸 ♥ 9:02pm Kat in Chicago: Austin! Arvo! All y'all!
	🎸 ♥ 9:02pm Kat in Chicago: Yes last week was excellent
	9:02pm Charles: Mid-valley. Mutations.
	9:02pm Geoff-U: Hi all :wave:
	9:03pm Arvo: I thought it was 30 years. I remember 1993 being the number. Sorry!
	♥ 9:04pm Barno in Akron: How do you do, fellow kids?
	9:05pm Charles: That song is awesome
	🎸 ♥ 9:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Barno in Akron @9:04 We're doin' alright, methinks.
	🎸 ♥ 9:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ HyperDose @9:00 I'm so glad you liked it! I had a lot of fun putting it together.
	🎸 ♥ 9:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:02 Always a pleasure, Kat!
	🎸 ♥ 9:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:02 Both statements are true!
	🎸 ♥ 9:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @9:02 Hooray for Geoff-U!
	🎸 ♥ 9:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:05 I love that Devo Song. But Devo is the best, in general.
	9:08pm Arvo: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:02 Good to see you, Kat! How is life on the outside?
	9:09pm Mr Fab: Austin! Kicking the show with a banger.
	🎸 ♥ 9:09pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @9:08 Outside of what? :)
	🎸 ♥ 9:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:09 Gotta love those Coachwhips. I really regret missing their shows.
	9:09pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @9:08 The classical station by me had a little segment focusing on the film scores of Mark Mothersbaugh this past Saturday.
	🎸 ♥ 9:10pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Song: "You Gonna Get It" by "Coachwhips" Yeah I'm gonna say Bangers won that round
	🎸 ♥ 9:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:09 Oooo. That sounds like fun. His movie work is pretty enjoyable.
	🎸 ♥ 9:11pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:10 I always interpreted it like, "There's some songs, those are Bangers. But those other songs? Those are FUCKERS."
	9:11pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @9:09 Saw them on their first tour I think, in Chicago, Fireside Bowl, where I bought two CDs from them, including the one here.
	9:11pm Arvo: It is an 18 minute "album"
	9:13pm Arvo: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:09 Outside of radio? I dunno. I don't go outside.
	🎸 ♥ 9:13pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @9:13 Chicago has had some shite weather in recent days, you wouldn't be missing much here.
	🎸 ♥ 9:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:11 I feel like everything they did was "short." In a good way.
	9:14pm Mr Fab: ↳ Arvo @9:13 and inside of a radio, it's too dark.
	🎸 ♥ 9:15pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Mr Fab @9:14 Too dark to read?
	9:15pm Geoff-U: The Yamaha Rm1x looks like it was a cool box!
	9:15pm Mr Fab: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:15 Yep, you caught me ripping off Groucho Marx!
	🎸 ♥ 9:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:15 I've been watching Marx Brothers movies lately. I'm not sure why anyone would watch anything else, to be honest.
	🎸 ♥ 9:16pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Mr Fab @9:15 You always steal from the best
	9:18pm Arvo: ↳ Mr Fab @9:14 I set you up for it!
	🎸 ♥ 9:19pm Austin Rich: I just noticed your nice new avatar, Kat. Fantastic!
	🎸 ♥ 9:21pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Austin Rich @9:19 haha yes thank you, I changed the colors up so I didn't know if you'd recognize. That story & recording resonated with me quite a bit.
	9:21pm Mr Fab: I like the idea of putting on shows, but wouldn't have the foggiest idea of how to go about it. Kudos to you, Austin.
	🎸 ♥ 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:21 I was SO excited to find it. I do love the way Boris reads it, and it's such an excellent story.
	🎸 ♥ 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:21 We'll, it's sort of easy when you just play "live" recordings on your show. But let's make it a party, right?
	9:23pm Geoff-U: I went to Chicago for the first time last November... it's a brilliant city. I kind of want to move there. So much amazing music!
	🎸 ♥ 9:23pm Krys O.: G'night, all! Have a great night!
	🎸 ♥ 9:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @9:23 Sleep well, Krys O!
	🎸 ♥ 9:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @9:23 I visited once, and had a great week. It's a big city; there's always lots to do. And that's before you decide to go outside.
	🎸 ♥ 9:26pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Geoff-U @9:23 I'm actually moving out at the end of the month, you can have my spot :) it is a great city, I've spent most of the last forty years there, but I decided I don't want to get old here.
	9:26pm Arvo: ↳ Geoff-U @9:23 It really does have more character than a lot of cities, and especially the music scene. I am glad I don't live there anymore, but mainly because it's a violent and brutally cold place.
	🎸 ♥ 9:27pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @9:26 I've been lucky enough to avoid most of the violence, and it's not as cold as it used to be, but now we get tornado warnings and I don't like those
	🎸 ♥ 9:28pm Austin Rich: I went to a lot of museums, and they were all really incredible.
	🎸 ♥ 9:29pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Austin Rich @9:28 The museums are excellent
	🎸 ♥ 9:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Chaque Nuit Tu T'enfuis" by "Yves Simon" Cat on album cover alert!
	9:29pm Geoff-U: I may just go back for a few longer visits and soak in more of it.
	🎸 ♥ 9:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:29 The Field Museum is one of the best places on earth. SO AMAZING.
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Geoff-U @9:29 I wouldn't talk you out of it by any means.
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Austin Rich @9:29 Yves Simon looks like a sweet cat lover
	9:30pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @9:28 The Surgical Museum? Unbelievable place. They had a replica of a beating heart the size of a room, which they may or may not have ripped off from the museum of science and industry. I used to do catering jobs and have served booze to rich people in every museum in the city at least four times.
	🎸 ♥ 9:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:30 I agree. I would trust him to catsit for me, when and if I can ever go on tour again.
	9:31pm Geoff-U: My old roommate and friend was the original drummer of Alkaline Trio, a Chicago band of some repute.
	🎸 ♥ 9:32pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Geoff-U @9:31 Yes indeed!
	🎸 ♥ 9:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:30 Marla and I made a point of going to all the museums we could while we were there. We were NOT disappointed.
	🎸 ♥ 9:32pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Wenn Ich Ein Junge Wär" by "Rita Pavone" Is it Rita Pavone week on WFMU? I've heard "My Name Is Potato" twice and maybe another track too.
	🎸 ♥ 9:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:32 "Sych-ro-ni-city!"
	9:33pm Arvo: ↳ Geoff-U @9:31 I saw them open for The Blue Meanies. Many times. When emo meant something other than it does now. Not my cup of tea. The Blue Meanies are one of the best bands I have ever seen live, and they kinda got a raw deal with their major label debut.
	🎸 ♥ 9:34pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @9:33 Yeah the Blue Meanies had some bad luck, deserved better
	9:34pm Geoff-U: We didn't manage to get to the John Hancock observation deck (360 Chicago) until after dark due to general disorganization but I think that made it actually even cooler! The architectural river tour was amazing too. So many fascinating stories.
	🎸 ♥ 9:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:33 I remember The Blue Meanies being pretty good. Been years since I heard them.
	🎸 ♥ 9:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @9:34 That observation deck is fun, day or night.
	🎸 ♥ 9:35pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Geoff-U @9:34 I was up there many years ago, on a foggy day.. After dark would probably be super cool.
	9:35pm Geoff-U: ↳ Arvo @9:33 I will have to check out Blue Meanies! I'm not really into Alkaline either, was just funny living with Glenn, he was still getting fat checks from Asian Man Records and blowing them almost instantly
	9:36pm Arvo: ↳ Geoff-U @9:34 I have never had a desire to be in that observation deck during the day. It was nice at night. Rumor has it the observation deck is cursed and someone was mysteriously thrown through it despite it having extremely thick glass.
	🎸 ♥ 9:37pm Kat in Chicago: ooh
	9:37pm Geoff-U: ↳ Arvo @9:36 At night the view had a great Bladerunner/Batman vibe and they sold whiskey so I was happy as a clam
	🎸 ♥ 9:38pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:37 (regarding The Gayletts)
	9:38pm Arvo: ↳ Geoff-U @9:35 The Blue Meanies were unfairly lumped into the ska / punk scene, but would be more apt opening for Mr. Bungle or System of A Down.
	🎸 ♥ 9:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:38 Yeah, this song hits perfectly!
	🎸 ♥ 9:40pm Austin Rich: You were right, Arvo! I do like that cover!
	9:42pm Arvo: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:38 Kat, do you remember James at Wluw? Well I was asked to DJ his wedding, but I refused to play Phil Collins, and anyway before I screwed that up, I insisted that they play deeper cuts, such as the Rolling Stones version of That's How Strong My Love Is, and some other stuff by ABBA other than Dancing Queen. You see, I bartended weddings weekly, and just could not bare to be that guy. I can't do low hanging fruit, but I regret not being part of that special night, as I am very fond of James. We are still in touch. They recently had their ten year anniversary.
	🎸 ♥ 9:43pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @9:42 James who? The only James I know there is James Porter (Hoodoo Party on Saturdays once a month)
	🎸 ♥ 9:44pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @9:42 I get the wedding music fatigue, I don't think I could ever be that guy
	9:44pm Arvo: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:43 He is in LA now. Did 6am Monday mornings. Not Porter.
	🎸 ♥ 9:45pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @9:44 Yeah I don't think Porter is partnered. I didn't know the James you're referring to.
	🎸 ♥ 9:46pm Kat in Chicago: Chris Connelly!
	9:46pm Arvo: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:44 I have bartended hundreds of weddings. Many of them millionaires. My favorite was George Lucas's wedding, although I do no care for Star Wars and have never seen a single one in its entirety. But Prince did a surprise show with a 23 piece band and it was really good.
	🎸 ♥ 9:47pm Kat in Chicago: I was supposed to be in a graveyard tonight. Not for sex though haha, I was supposed to see Kali Malone at Bohemian National Cemetery, but with iffy weather and other issues I didn't make it.
	🎸 ♥ 9:47pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @9:46 Wow AMAZING
	🎸 ♥ 9:47pm Austin Rich: Marla (my wife) used to do catering here in the PNW, and did A LOT of weddings, too. You would have lots to commiserate over.
	9:49pm Arvo: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:47 I miss that cemetery. Near WZRD. I will neither confirm nor deny having sex in any cemetery or radio stations.
	9:50pm Arvo: I would love to see Kali Malone there.
	🎸 ♥ 9:51pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @9:50 I've missed her twice in Chicago now. Hoping to get another chance in NYC.
	🎸 ♥ 9:52pm Heather Z: Hi everyone! Been tuned in and painting! You're killing it, Arvo! Great stuff!!
	🎸 ♥ 9:52pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Concrete Sea" by "Terry Jacks" This is pretty cool, I've never heard it.
	🎸 ♥ 9:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Concrete Sea" by "Terry Jacks" I didn't know this song before Arvo planned this show, and I have to say, I have completely fallen in love. I've been thinking about covering it.
	9:53pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @9:47 Catering was fun. I got to see what rich people do. One party I did was a James Bond theme. They had a car from one of the movies and a little helicopter was flying around with hors d'oeuvres hanging from it where it was apprehended by a lady in red velvet, who would hand the food items to patrons. There was a Shirley Bassey sound alike singer on a spiral staircase. It was beautiful. And who headlines? Maroon 5. And they were drunk. That was rough.
	9:53pm Arvo: ↳ Heather Z @9:52 Hi Heather! Honored you could tune in. Would like to see your paintings some time.
	🎸 ♥ 9:54pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @9:53 oof. Better off with the Shirley Bassey soundalike.
	🎸 ♥ 9:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:52 Yay! Nice to see you made it! How is the painting coming along?
	9:55pm Arvo: ↳ Kat in Chicago @9:52 The B Side is a cat song, too. The Poppy Family is essential, if you don't know. Husband and wife, Terry and Susan Jacks, if I am not mistaken.
	🎸 ♥ 9:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:53 Marla might have stories like that, but she mostly has stories of people being mad that they were out of some drink mixer, and how people at weddings are really rude to bartenders. Those are the main stories I remember.
	🎸 ♥ 9:55pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @9:53 I'm glad to be here! Tuesday nights are my favorites! I'll email you a pic of tonight's progress and you can tell Austin it looks NOTHING like a Grateful Dead skeleton! 😹
	🎸 ♥ 9:55pm Aitch: Lurking, vaguely unsettling sounds
	🎸 ♥ 9:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:55 Only a little, I mean. But... a little goes a long way.
	🎸 ♥ 9:56pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @9:55 Oh I remember Susan and Terry Jacks very well.
	🎸 ♥ 9:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Aitch @9:55 Aitch! Another of the cat fans is among us.
	9:57pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @9:55 The mayor was extremely mad at me for being out of limes at the end of the night. Not mayor Daley.
	🎸 ♥ 9:57pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:56 Harrumph.
	🎸 ♥ 9:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:57 That sounds more like the stories I remember Marla telling about catering.
	9:58pm Arvo: I did a Halloween party at the cultural center where I was painted green on most of my body as some sort of dragon, waited all night to scare the hell out of Mayor Daley, but he entered through the other rear.
	🎸 ♥ 9:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:57 You can make fun of my terrible taste in TV Shows, or how I make you watch dumb movies you aren't that fond of.
	9:59pm Arvo: Ok so this Saint song and the following Teddy songs are serious trivia here. What books are they mentioned in?
	🎸 ♥ 10:00pm Aitch: I paid for my Uni with bartending and functions and such. Love the show Party Down, it's right on the money.
	🎸 ♥ 10:00pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:59 I mean.... I made you watch The Circle so.... we're even there!
	🎸 ♥ 10:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ Aitch @10:00 Marla says Party Down is SPOT ON.
	🎸 ♥ 10:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:00 ... a show with better representation than every show and movie I had you watch, so...
	🎸 ♥ 10:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:59 I'll guess "Lonesome Dove" because that's the only book I can imagine might reference two country songs?
	🎸 ♥ 10:02pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:01 The Circle does pass the Bechdel test with flying colors! This is true.
	10:02pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @9:58 Early in my catering career, I worked for a company that let the client boss us around. One of them tried to make me build a pyramid out of wine glasses, and got snippy with me about it, so I built it, and then knocked all of them crashing to the floor. That was at the airplane exhibit in the museum of science and industry. I then took two hours to "find the bathroom".
	🎸 ♥ 10:03pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:02 It also has one character accusing another character of "friendzoning" them, so... yeah. The Circle is problematic.
	🎸 ♥ 10:03pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @10:02 haha, well done!
	🎸 ♥ 10:04pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:03 Chloe gets every pass in my book. She's so dreamy....
	10:04pm Arvo: Two different books, to be clear
	🎸 ♥ 10:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Dark Is The Night" by "John Hinckley" He sort of reminds me Daniel Johnston, in a way.
	🎸 ♥ 10:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:04 Hurm... I'm stumped.
	🎸 ♥ 10:05pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @10:02 Haaaa! Served em right for being bossy. And museum bathrooms are notoriously hard to find. Everyone knows that.
	🎸 ♥ 10:06pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:04 I know I said this in our call about The Circle, but Chloe sort of reminds me of the kinds of chaotic girls that were sort of scary to date. Like... genuine terror.
	🎸 ♥ 10:06pm Kat in Chicago: Hoo boy. Does Hinckley have a Bandcamp?
	🎸 ♥ 10:07pm Austin Rich: This sample at the beginning of this commercial is from a conversation that Mike Watt had with his guest about... MUTATION FEST!
	🎸 ♥ 10:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:07 (The guest was Randal Carter, who is participating in MUTATION FEST.)
	10:07pm Arvo: He had an itunes, not sure what else outside of the YouTube, streaming aggregators. The itunes single is gone now for some reason.
	🎸 ♥ 10:08pm Austin Rich: Man, the "Next Time" Bot really can't say "Don Haugen" very well.
	🎸 ♥ 10:09pm Kat in Chicago: Mutation Fest sounds like it's gonna be fun
	🎸 ♥ 10:09pm Kat in Chicago: No clue on the movies/books
	🎸 ♥ 10:10pm Austin Rich: I suspect you are right, Arvo; if there weren't a Pandemic, I think the novelty combined with genuine fans would have done VERY well for Mr. Hinckley.
	🎸 ♥ 10:10pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:06 She's chaotic but truly, I think for real or she's the best actor in the world, a good person with a kind heart! What? Stop! I do not have a crush on Chloe. C'mon.
	🎸 ♥ 10:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:09 I think so. A lot of my friends sent in some cool live tracks and stuff. Gonna be fun!
	10:11pm Arvo: "She's Got To Be A Saint" plays during the prom in Carrie, the book. And "Teddy Bear Song" is in the book version of Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.
	🎸 ♥ 10:11pm Austin Rich: I do love a good Organ as well, Arvo. Sort of jealous of sitting in and listening to the organists.
	🎸 ♥ 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:11 Oh shit! I haven't read Carrie in ages, and I completely forgot about that! Good pull. Haven't read that Tarantino book yet. But I've heard it's good.
	🎸 ♥ 10:12pm Kat in Chicago: ah, I read Carrie the book a million years ago, didn't recall that though. I kind of hate that genre of song, honestly
	🎸 ♥ 10:13pm Austin Rich: All that sports money could be spent on so many better things... Music Schools... housing...
	🎸 ♥ 10:13pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Austin Rich @10:13 No. Shit.
	10:14pm Arvo: Dennis Scott is still the organist of The Music Box theater in Chicago, and he would let me sit with his partner and friends in the balcony by the projectionist. He is an excellent human. He has a speakeasy theme in his basement with old theater seats and three different kinds of organs. I did an article on him in New City Chicago, weekly paper.
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:13 It could even be spent on creating opportunities for families and children to feel secure at home so... they would have the chance to play sports with their friends?
	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:14 That is excellent! My kind of organist!
	10:15pm Arvo: I used to have hundreds of organ records. Back when thrift stores were not vintage merchandise stores.
	🎸 ♥ 10:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:15 Seriously. They used to be everywhere. You don't see 'em so much anymore.
	🎸 ♥ 10:16pm Austin Rich: This show is gonna go over, by several minutes. Sorry everyone!
	🎸 ♥ 10:17pm Kat in Chicago: No complaints here. I gave up on accomplishing anything tonight, I'm just drinking beer haha
	🎸 ♥ 10:17pm Austin Rich: I know I've complained to Heather about this, but in the 90's, you could find mannequins at thrift stores, and not even that costly. We used to always have one around the house in the old days; just go any buy one, they're cheap. Now you can't find them anywhere at any reasonable prices.
	🎸 ♥ 10:18pm Heather Z: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:17 Me too! Clink!
	10:18pm Arvo: The Tarantino book is alright. It's fun. Tarantino wrote himself into it, which ruined it for me as a serious novel, but I love the movie. I laughed hysterically for several minutes in the theater.
	🎸 ♥ 10:18pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Heather Z @10:18 cheers Heather!
	10:19pm Arvo: I am a night person and am drinking coffee. Cheers.
	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:17 I found two torso mannequins at a JC Penney closeout a few years ago, BOGO at 20 bucks! I super lucked out on that. And now my living room is complete.
	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm Austin Rich: Announcer Mitch gets her name from a mannequin that my friend kiisu turned into a telephone. You talked into Mitch's mouth, and her hand de-tached, and had the ear-piece in it. The dialing pad was on her chest; you had to take off her top to make a call. Most people didn't want to use Mitch to make calls, for some reason. Announcer Mitch Headroom is named after Mitch The Mannequin, who I dearly miss.
	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @10:19 clink I am naturally a night person but I'm more qualified for day jobs. sigh.
	10:20pm Arvo: I regret to say I never had a mannequin. I have mostly insisted on living alone. Kinda odd to have a mannequin in that context...
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Bitin' My Fingernails & Thinkin' of You" by "Erne... 'm a sucker for Ernest Tubb.
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm Heather Z: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:20 Arg, same Kat. I'll drink to that!
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:20 We usually had lots of roommates, so I guess we didn't feel weird about mannequins.
	🎸 ♥ 10:21pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Austin Rich @10:20 I hate making phone calls but I would have made some from Mitch! That sounds awesome
	🎸 ♥ 10:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:20 I'm not qualified to work, I realized. I'm barely qualified to play.
	10:22pm Arvo: I love certain country. Ernest Tubb being among them. Yeah that mannequin phone does sound cool.
	🎸 ♥ 10:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:21 Mitch was the best. I needed to give Mitch a temp home, and then... never saw her again.
	🎸 ♥ 10:23pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @10:20 Hmm.... odd to have mannequins when one lives alone, you say? Hmmm
	10:23pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Jesus Gonna Make Up Your Dyin' Bed" by "The Jubil... I think Led Zep borrowed from this song for "In My Time of Dying."
	🎸 ♥ 10:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:22 My grandmother LOVED Ernest Tubb, so we listened to him together.
	10:23pm Arvo: Well for a bachelor guy...
	🎸 ♥ 10:23pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:22 That's kind of heartbreaking. I'm so sorry!
	🎸 ♥ 10:23pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Mr Fab @10:23 why not, they stole everything else
	🎸 ♥ 10:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:23 I think you might be right!
	🎸 ♥ 10:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:23 I pay tribute every week on the radio.
	🎸 ♥ 10:24pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:24 I'm just learning that now and Announcer Mitch has become even more special!
	🎸 ♥ 10:25pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Song: "No More Bridges To Burn" by "Cordell Jackson" I've seen Cordell Jackson, wasn't this show though as I was in NYC at the time
	10:25pm Arvo: ↳ Mr Fab @10:23 Most certainly they did not write that song, but nothing against them. I only in the last five years or so decided to listen to Led Zeppelin. I am generally impressed with their work on days that I am in the mood to skip the radio hits.
	🎸 ♥ 10:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:24 She's the best. She was a party animal.
	🎸 ♥ 10:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:25 "Communication Breakdown" is a pretty good little punk song, for a band that didn't seem interested in that kind of thing.
	🎸 ♥ 10:26pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:25 And she is still that, even just as a voice these days!
	🎸 ♥ 10:26pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @10:25 I have decidedly mixed feelings about the Zep
	10:27pm Arvo: My grandmother used to take me to the bar where my grandfather worked as a bartender, and I used to play the juke box. She always wanted me to play "All My Exes Live In Texas".
	10:27pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:26 Johnny Ramone's direct guitar playing inspiration.
	🎸 ♥ 10:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:27 The Dickies do a pretty good version of it, with hilariously unintelligible lyrics. I've always said that "Communication Breakdown" might be the best thing LZ every recorded.
	10:29pm Arvo: ↳ Song: "One Meat Ball" by "Josh White" This song was covered by The Andrews Sisters and KMFDM.
	10:30pm Mr Fab: ↳ Arvo @10:29 together?!?
	🎸 ♥ 10:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:30 It's the Mash-Up that's WAITING to happen.
	10:31pm Arvo: "No Quarter" is just a massive song for me.
	🎸 ♥ 10:31pm Heather Z: ↳ Mr Fab @10:30 Omg yessss
	🎸 ♥ 10:31pm Kat in Chicago: "Mrs. Texas Gladden." When women's names were totally obliterated by marital status
	🎸 ♥ 10:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:31 I was just wondering what her real name was.
	🎸 ♥ 10:32pm Heather Z: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:31 Ugh. Yes.
	🎸 ♥ 10:33pm Austin Rich: I was just gifted a 45 that my Grandmother recorded, at a novelty recording studio, when she was 16, as a gift to her parents. It found it's way back to my grandmother, and then my aunt, then my cousin, then my mom, and now me. I may well debut the single during Mutation Fest. I haven't yet made a digital transfer, but I think it will play all the way through!
	🎸 ♥ 10:34pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Austin Rich @10:33 I want to hear that!
	🎸 ♥ 10:34pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:33 I'd be so excited to hear that!!
	10:35pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:33 HECK yeah!
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:34 I haven't listened yet. I've been nervous to play it. But I have some tapes (and a few digital recordings) of her talking about her life, so I might try to assemble a little something to go with the single.
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm Kat in Chicago: I used to go to Schubas a LOT. But not for a number of years, even pre pandemic.
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Austin Rich @10:35 yes, yes
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Austin Rich: Evelyn Martin will be a star, on Sheena's!
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:35 That would be so awesome!
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:36 Her fans are already clamoring!
	🎸 ♥ 10:38pm Heather Z: I loved that You Are My Sunshine. I adore that song. Never heard that version and it was a real treat!
	🎸 ♥ 10:38pm Austin Rich: She was a riveter at Boeing during WWII, and raising all her kids, on her own, mostly because the men ran off. After a point she just stopped getting married, and only had boyfriends. She was pretty formidable.
	10:38pm Mr Fab: remember when Cordell Jackson was on Letterman? Elderly woman in fancy white dress rockin on the electric guitar. Visiting Memphis in the '90s, I found a VHS tape of a music video she made - a rap song about how her husband just likes watching basketball.
	🎸 ♥ 10:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Heav'n, Heav'n" by "Joel Chadabe, Irene Oliver (S... I have also fallen in love with this track, Arvo. So amazing!
	10:39pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "Heav'n, Heav'n" by "Joel Chadabe, Irene Oliver (S... what the holy heck is going on here?!
	🎸 ♥ 10:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:38 I wanna see that! I should check YouTube...
	🎸 ♥ 10:39pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Song: "Heav'n, Heav'n" by "Joel Chadabe, Irene Oliver (S... oh wow I have never heard this
	10:40pm Arvo: ↳ Heather Z @10:38 They have two records that are from the fifties, and I highly recommend both of them. Nonstop bombast! One of my modest achievements was to open for a huge marching band called Mucca Pizza. It's the sort of thing that never fails to make me happy.
	10:41pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:38 It was still cheap on discogs last I checked. I ended up buying my own copy after playing it on WZRD.
	🎸 ♥ 10:41pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @10:40 Mucca Pazza! I haven't seen them in years but oh what a joyful bunch.
	10:41pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:39 yeah, since i no longer have a VHS player...
	🎸 ♥ 10:42pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @10:40 Ooo I will have to see what I can see about those records! And holy heck! Amazing! I don't know why but I have a real soft spot for marching band music.
	🎸 ♥ 10:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @10:41 I was thinking that I should get one, just to transfer stuff to the digital realm. I keep finding things that never made the leap to the internet.
	🎸 ♥ 10:42pm Austin Rich: "Souza is Sexy"
	🎸 ♥ 10:43pm Kat in Chicago: Mucca Pazza did a killer cover of "Chick Habit"
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:42 Or at least gets me revved up! Probably all the years in community band wired Sousa into my psyche?
	10:44pm Arvo: ↳ Heather Z @10:42 Before my project Blood Rhythms, I basically did a group of people who just made a racket with horns, and we opened for marching bands a lot. Black Bear Combo especially. Extra Action Marching Band was a fun one, didn't open for them, though.
	🎸 ♥ 10:45pm Kat in Chicago: Black Bear Combo was cool, I've heard nothing about them recently tho
	🎸 ♥ 10:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:44 You did an ambient horn performance that time we played together, the night before Halloween, 2018.
	🎸 ♥ 10:45pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @10:44 That's fantastic!! Any recordings from that time?
	🎸 ♥ 10:46pm Heather Z: This is reminding me of that Most Unwanted Song experiment and I am here for it! Fingers crossed for opera cowboys?
	🎸 ♥ 10:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "H-Co" by "Alesia Cosmos" Damn!
	10:47pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:45 Yes but in the 2000s I could never get anyone to do drones, so it was just racket! Everyone wanted to be Miles Davis. I just wanted to blow into the horn. I did one where I blew into the horn without playing any phrases. There are some things collected on the Blood Rhythms release "Cutting Teeth"
	10:48pm Arvo: H-Co is the next track, fyi
	🎸 ♥ 10:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:48 Whoops!
	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:47 I think I have Cutting Teeth on my computer... will have to dig around... But I did like that show we did. I have a recording of it somewhere. Been meaning to dig it out.
	10:52pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:50 I was happy with that set. We only played a few times in Seattle. Once was with six speakers. Good shows, pre pandemic.
	🎸 ♥ 10:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:52 Yeah. I'm very tempted to put on a mask and go see John Duncan, when he plays in PDX. (I was listed.) But... damn. Shows are risky now!
	10:53pm Arvo: I worked with some great people. They weren't all trying to be Miles Davis, to be fair, but there was less drone and more razzle dazzle usually.
	10:55pm Arvo: ↳ Heather Z @10:46 There was a plumber in Chicago that only communicated by singing opera. I was told that it was his mental illness. I met him once, he is on a record compilation that I had. Can't remember his name.
	🎸 ♥ 10:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:55 That reminds me of that Bruce Willis movie, where they are burglars, but they use the timing of songs to work out all their heists.
	10:57pm Geoff-U: This song is really cool... this is your band Arvo?
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Arvo @10:55 OMG it sounds like Brandon Johnson is the new mayor of Chicago
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @10:55 Oh wow! That's mighty interesting. I don't think I know any opera singers nor, sadly, plumbers because I'm going to need one or both at some point, I'm sure.
	10:58pm Arvo: ↳ Geoff-U @10:57 No sir! Blood Rhythms is my thing. This is jliat! He studied under John Cage. This is from 1973
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ Geoff-U @10:57 I believe this is still Alesia Cosmos.
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:58 Whoops!
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Kat in Chicago: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:57 That wasn't supposed to be a reply to Arvo :) but it should be good news
	10:58pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:58 This is jliat and it's about to blend into Lettera 22
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:58 Thanks! I'm off my game tonight.
	10:59pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @10:56 oh god, "Hudson Hawk"? PLEASE don't remind me of that one! curls into fetal position
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm Heather Z: ↳ Kat in Chicago @10:58 Yesss I like this good news!
