	♥ 12:09pm Tony Coulter: ↳ chresti @12:09 Ha!!
	♥ 12:10pm Tony Coulter: I would have voted for Clown Cave Microwave, which has a nice internal rhyme.
	🥁 ♥ 12:12pm chresti: Almost like "concave microwave".
	🥁 ♥ 12:14pm spodiodi: good morning, Tony and all
	♥ 12:15pm Tony Coulter: Here is Cave Clown Microwave's mission statement: "Our goal is world domination by constantly spreading our stupidity until it covers the 4 corns of the earth. We want you to be proud of your own stupidity and reveal it to us."
	♥ 12:15pm Tony Coulter: And yes, it does say, "4 corns of the earth."
	♥ 12:16pm Tony Coulter: ↳ spodiodi @12:14 Mornin' spodi!
	12:18pm jess: clownin' around over here this mornnig... hi Tony!
	♥ 12:19pm Tony Coulter: Hi, Jess!
	🥁 ♥ 12:20pm Yvang: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:15 It sounds like the Church of the Subgenius.
	🥁 ♥ 12:20pm Yvang: And Hi Tony and Forks and Cave Clowns...and listeners.
	🥁 ♥ 12:21pm WR: Cave Clown or Clown Cave. The choice depends on whether you are referencing the cave or the clown. Hi Tony and streamers.
	🥁 ♥ 12:22pm Yvang: ↳ WR @12:21 or the Microwave.
	♥ 12:24pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Yvang @12:22 Hi Yvang!
	🥁 ♥ 12:27pm Yvang: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @12:24 Hi Andrew.
	🥁 ♥ 12:28pm JtotheK: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:15 so Tony and chat boarders -- what are the 4 corns? Perhaps - Sweet Corn, cornbread, then what?
	♥ 12:28pm Tony Coulter: Hola, hi, hello, Yvang and WR!!
	♥ 12:30pm Tony Coulter: ↳ JtotheK @12:28 Foot corns?
	🥁 ♥ 12:31pm Yvang: ↳ JtotheK @12:28 The 4 Corners of the world ...erless.
	🥁 ♥ 12:32pm WR: ↳ Yvang @12:22 Yes, of course. And is it the clown's microwave or the cave's microwave and is it a device for heating food or transmitting signals or actual microwaves of the clown (or cave) frequency and amplitude.
	♥ 12:32pm Tony Coulter: So, no one recognizes today's mystery LP? Here are some clues: the record is on SST and the artist was also involved in wrestling.
	🥁 ♥ 12:33pm JtotheK: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:32 Oh, then in that case - I'll guess Lawrence Welk.
	♥ 12:33pm TDK60: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:32 Got me, Tony. I must've missed that one. I have a pile of old SST LPs.
	♥ 12:34pm Tony Coulter: ↳ JtotheK @12:33 You got it. Welk was deadly on the mat.
	🥁 ♥ 12:35pm Sem: Mad Dog Vachon? Hey, Mhisster Tony, and all.
	♥ 12:35pm Tony Coulter: Hiya, Sem!
	♥ 12:36pm northguineahills: zoogz rift?
	♥ 12:37pm Tony Coulter: ↳ northguineahills @12:36 YES! NGH for the win. It's Zoogz Rift's "Amputees in Limbo," from 1987
	🥁 ♥ 12:37pm chresti: ↳ JtotheK @12:28 candy corn and corn on the cobb?
	♥ 12:37pm Tony Coulter: Here's the full cover: www.discogs.com...
	🥁 ♥ 12:37pm Sem: Hey, ngh. That's some memory you have there. Cool.
	🥁 ♥ 12:38pm WR: Ah, NGH got it legit, by knowing it. I was just browsing the SST releases on discogs and found it but too slow.
	♥ 12:43pm northguineahills: i know i heard an sst recs special on wfmu in the last year, yet, I can't tell you who did it.. (it'll come to me later today) (and there was an 45 minutes of sst by alan (6 degrees) not too long ago
	♥ 12:44pm northguineahills: and in both, half the artists i'd never heard of before...
	12:45pm wendy del formaggio: Hi Tony and friends! I tuned in just in time for microwave clowns. Yay!
	♥ 12:47pm Tony Coulter: Hi, Wendy!! Still haven't caught your new Drummer stream show -- really have to make my way to the archives pronto.
	12:48pm wendy del formaggio: Tony, it’ll be there for 20 years or so, so no need to hurry! Haha
	♥ 12:49pm Tony Coulter: Ha!
	🥁 ♥ 12:50pm Yvang: I recommend yesterday's Wendy's show which was a lot of fun. Hi Wendy.
	12:52pm wendy del formaggio: Hey Yvang! Thanks so much for tuning in, and for your review. :-) I had a lot of fun too. I really like being on the radio.
	♥ 12:53pm Tony Coulter: I recently read two different obits of DJs who were on the air continuously for 50 or 60 years. It is addictive.
	🥁 ♥ 12:54pm WR: ↳ Song: "side A" by "Cave Clown Microwave" Since you have chose not to list the tracks, I did a search, hoping that the cassette might be on Discogs or somewhere listing the tracks. Found this on bandcamp: wheelchairfullofoldmen1.bandcamp.com... Is that side A (I ask since I thought you said over 50 tracks on side A...)
	♥ 12:55pm Tony Coulter: Nah, over 50 tracks on both sides together. Thanks for the link!
	♥ 12:56pm Tony Coulter: Here's someone who's had a radio show for 72 years -- and she's still going strong: www.theguardian.com...
	12:58pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Hi Tony n all this os great stuff L
	♥ 12:58pm Tony Coulter: ↳ WR @12:54 So, to be clearer: They're listing both side A and side B together
	♥ 12:59pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Oleh from Pittsburgh @12:58 Hi, Oleh! I'm glad you're enjoying it!
	🥁 ♥ 12:59pm Yvang: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:56 She's 85 so she started at 13? Wow!
	♥ 1:00pm northguineahills: keep stirring, needs more clown!
	♥ 1:00pm northguineahills: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:56 you just gotta hang on for a few more years, tony!
	🥁 ♥ 1:00pm Sem: ha. Lovin' this. Inexplicably.
	🥁 ♥ 1:02pm chresti: ↳ Song: "side B" by "Cave Clown Microwave" I like side 2.
	🥁 ♥ 1:03pm Sem: fyi, just found on the innnertubes. "Dec 9, 2022. Get all 353 Wheelchair Full of Old Men releases available on Bandcamp and save 90%.
	♥ 1:03pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Sem @12:37 Mahalo Sem!
	🥁 ♥ 1:06pm Yvang: ↳ Sem @1:03 I like their keywords : "idiotic crap, punk, Michigan"
	1:06pm wendy del formaggio: I started at age 23 on pirate radio. I did take a few multi-year breaks from hosting my own show on community radio, with occasional guest appearances on WFMU. But I hope to be doing a weekly for many more decades.
	🥁 ♥ 1:07pm WR: LOL, I got a call and stopped listening for a minute and when I restarted the stream I accidentally clicked on Rock N Soul and hearing a bit of Northern Soul, thought for a moment, wow, thes clowns are going all over the place.
	🥁 ♥ 1:08pm Sem: AiT, hello. Gone native...Hawaiian?
	🥁 ♥ 1:08pm WR: ↳ Sem @1:03 Only $36.60 for 353 releases!
	♥ 1:10pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Sem @1:03 It's part of their world domination scheme. Gotta spread the word.
	♥ 1:10pm Tony Coulter: Oops -- that should have been linked to WR's comment.
	🥁 ♥ 1:10pm Yvang: The previous record breaking was 70 years edm.com...
	♥ 1:14pm northguineahills: ↳ wendy del formaggio @1:06 in college my friends did pirate radio, which only led to them getting their equipment confiscated once. (i just would show up every now and then). so, moving to nyc, and seeing the setup free103point9 had set up (before they went legit, and of course now the wavefarm.org is its direct descendent), was a revelation and a joy to play w/...
	♥ 1:14pm northguineahills: ok, back into study silence for a bit...
	🥁 ♥ 1:15pm pot8o: hi everyone!
	♥ 1:16pm Tony Coulter: Hey ho, pot80!
	♥ 1:17pm Tony Coulter: The kangarooster!
	🥁 ♥ 1:21pm WR: ↳ Yvang @1:10 Wikipedia article on Ray Cordeiro gives good background, he retired in 2021 at 96 and is still alive. en.wikipedia.org...
	🥁 ♥ 1:22pm Sem: Happy to know there is a country for a wheelchair full of old men. Hoping the wheelchair is optional, obv.
	🥁 ♥ 1:22pm WR: ↳ WR @1:21 shit, read it wrong, he died in January 2023.
	1:26pm ERIK / VermonT: @ Mr Coulter & or Anyone that can enlighten me : What (& why) are the reasons the Tape Hiss shows aren’t archived ? I’m confused: the last several months seem available & are posted & clickable & downloadable …(perhaps for a limited time only ?). - perhaps “archived” means indefinitely.
	🥁 ♥ 1:26pm pot8o: this feels like if a bunch of aliens saw a vintage cartoon with the sound of and tried to compose a soundtrack for it
	♥ 1:27pm Tony Coulter: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @1:26 Hi, Erik! The shows that feature complete cassettes aren't archived (for legal reasons). All other shows are archived forever.
	🥁 ♥ 1:29pm pot8o: say, is there anywhere i could send some of my cassettes? I've got a couple comps and an avant-folk tape
	1:31pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: Loving it Loving it!
	♥ 1:32pm Tony Coulter: ↳ pot8o @1:29 Send 'em to me! If you message me, I'll give you my home address.
	1:35pm rw: Good morning!
	♥ 1:36pm Tony Coulter: Morning, rw!
	♥ 1:41pm Tony Coulter: Here's a pic of Disism in 1986 (thanks to group member Charles Rice Goff III -- the guitarist -- for sending it to me). ibb.co...
	1:46pm rw: ↳ Tony Coulter @1:41 Photos like that make me realize I really DO miss the '80s
	1:47pm rw: And realizations like that really do make me feel like old guy.
	♥ 1:49pm Tony Coulter: These days, plenty of people in their 20s seem to miss the '80s too (and the '60s, '70s, and '90s).
	♥ 1:50pm Tony Coulter: Judging from the way so many current bands borrow heavily from those decades.
	1:54pm rw: Haha! The good thing about that is my kids and I love to geek out about music and very often we're on the same page.
	1:55pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Where did that segment riff a couple minutes earlier on this1987 piece come from. I’m 99 % sure it was lifted Very familiar. .
	♥ 1:55pm Tony Coulter: Not sure....
	1:56pm Charles Goff III: This whole album was recorded in one day. No guitar or any other instruments were "lifted" from anywhere.
	♥ 1:57pm Tony Coulter: Hi, Charles! Glad you're here!
	♥ 1:57pm Tony Coulter: (Charles is half of Disism.)
	1:58pm Mark Kaswan: I'm here, too! Congrats on your pronunciation of my name--much better than most.
	1:59pm Charles Goff III: Oh, I wouldn't miss this one. Thanks much for the attention today Mister Coulter. I could even answer questions about this thing if anyone had any... Otherwise, just dig hearing this all again. OHH, Hey Killr! Glad you could join in too.
	♥ 2:00pm Tony Coulter: Ah, Mark K. -- I'm glad ... for my not-so-off pronunciation and that you're here too!
	2:00pm Dean: For Mr. Kaswan: Any relation to climate change law scholar Alice Kaswan?
	2:01pm ERIK / VermonT: Hi👋 Tony. Would you perhaps indulge me in a bit of collect-o-rama shop talk ? (e.g: that exciting LoYoYo reissue update news last week). After hearing ARB’s show (btw: Arbitrarium comes highly recommended !) I got lost in a deep dive into the Discogs reissue limbo of researching the overwhelmingly random maze that is the career of Jim Welton (It’s War Boys catalog) / Homosexuals offshoots Amos & Sara / L’Voag / Just Measurers / Milk from Cheltenham / Fear Merchants / Xentos / Narky Brillans / etc etc & on & on it goes …. I noticed that there have been many Lp (& CD ???) & CDr file re-issues ballpark 2015 and forward. Tony, have you found a reliable source to procure such limited reissue items & or are any still available in 3D touch & feel media formats ?
	2:01pm Mark Kaswan: Yes, it's nice to hear this. 60 Seconds Left remains one of my favorites.
	2:04pm Mark Kaswan: ↳ Dean @2:00 Yes, that's my sister. She does really good work.
	2:04pm rw: Mark and Charles, cool that you're here! Sounding great.
	2:05pm Dean: Indeed, she does! That's great! I myself have taught a bit on environmental justice, which was the avenue to learning about her.
	♥ 2:06pm Tony Coulter: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @2:01 Yep, Arb's show is really great. Not sure if I know of a one-stop source for Jim Welton reissues. There's a store in Portland that's good for the more recent stuff. They do mail order too: jigsaw-records.com...
	2:06pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Charles and Mark. This is a great piece. Nothing pejorative meant in my asking about the familiar sounding riff. All sweet textural elements. Just that it sounded so familiar in an Ummagummaish way
	♥ 2:07pm northguineahills: ↳ Tony Coulter @1:49 i myself, suffer from misremembered false nostalgia...
	2:08pm Charles Goff III: RW -- very pleased to be here. Glad your ears are tingling. Oleh, that's a high compliment -- one of Floyd's finest flowers!
	♥ 2:09pm northguineahills: ok, i've found a loophole in chatgpt's character output limit (this time i didn't break anything. could come in handy for repetitive coding motifs...
	♥ 2:10pm Tony Coulter: ↳ northguineahills @2:09 Are you using it to compose dirty limericks?
	♥ 2:10pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Sem @1:08 Why not?
	2:11pm Dean: Well, let's see. What rhymes with "loophole"?
	♥ 2:13pm northguineahills: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:10 i wish. just to do the grunt work for my rdbs html interface of my school project (to improve upon what they use at the shelter). I have 3 more days....
	🥁 ♥ 2:17pm Sem: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @2:10 Excellent place to go native, Andrew. A new language is always a plus. Enjoying Disism Side A very much. Thank you to the creators!
	♥ 2:17pm Tony Coulter: Charles and Mark: I have a general question. How aware were you of the international cassette culture scene at the time you made this tape? Were you already in touch with a lot of cassette artists?
	2:19pm Charles Goff III: Answer for Tony... We were quite aware at this point. This one got a review in OPTION magazine.
	♥ 2:21pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Charles Goff III @2:19 Ah, I still have most of my OPTION mags -- I'll have to look for that review!
	2:23pm ERIK / VermonT: @Tony: ok, thanks for the link response. It’s a start, I guess. Appreciated. I’m afraid my old original cassettes of those early “It’s War Boys” might disintegrate with playback. a Musing: a WFMU “too much of a great thing” audio crime: Having Miss Mei’s “only music I care about” directly opposites your show is a cruel trick to the listeners of found audio obscurities !
	🥁 ♥ 2:25pm chresti: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @2:23 Have not listened to Miss Mei's show yet
	♥ 2:26pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @2:11 there once was couple of mormans, who found swinging more fun than sermans, they found a utah marital license loopholed,and conjoled a throople, and now the babe's sister is also his cousin... /got nuttin'...
	2:26pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Fantastic work! Thanks Charles and Mark. Those cassette culture days were so creative,immediate, and intimate.
	♥ 2:26pm Tony Coulter: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @2:23 By the way, the very first LP (the 2 Square Y?) you see if you click on Jigsaw Records' "new in stock" section is from Jim Welton.
	♥ 2:28pm Tony Coulter: ↳ chresti @2:25 Neither have I -- guess I should!
	2:33pm Mark Kaswan: I think what I miss most about those Disism sessions (as well as Herd of the Ether Space, which Charlie and I were a part of) was the sense of immersion and present-ness in the experience. We never thought about how what we were doing would be received by other people, and when I was playing I was usually fully in the moment and my engagement with the people I was playing with. It was a kind of freedom I've never felt anywhere else. And I think it comes across in the music.
	♥ 2:34pm Tony Coulter: By the way, just some advance notice that next week's show will be completely different from today's: I'll be playing nothing but super-well-known artists from the '60s and '70s -- the kind that are staples on classic rock radio ... but, hopefully, giving them a fresh coat of paint.
	🥁 ♥ 2:36pm chresti: ↳ Song: "side B" by "Disism" Do I hear a ping-pong game in there?
	2:40pm Charles Goff III: Chresti -- no ping pong. My guess is that what you think is ping pong is the sound of a percussion instrument of some sort that is being taped looped at a slow speed by a often modified reel to reel. We had a lot of toys to play with in the studio that day...
	♥ 2:41pm Andrew in Toronto: That was another wonderful show! Thanks Tony!
	2:42pm ERIK / VermonT: FYI : Miss Mei’s show via Sheena stream archives is a total rare audio oddities riot ! (Albeit, all over the map !) Yet, isn’t that what we Love ?! Put on your rubber boots & get slogging ! Amidst the international cloying clown obscurities, and naughty no-no’s, there are sprinkled in treasures to behold and adore ! Highly Recommend.
	♥ 2:43pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Mark Kaswan @2:33 Mark, it definitely does come across. Guess there's a real freedom in being totally outside the "music biz."
	♥ 2:44pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @2:41 You're welcome, Andrew! Glad you enjoyed it.
	2:47pm ERIK / VermonT: @ Charles & Mark (& Tony!): Such a treat to travel back in time to cassette culture daze ! - the opportunity that the artists themselves frequently contribute to these broadcasts (so many years after !) is a wonderful happening ! … Continue until one drops … Much Appreciated ❤️ 🙏
	2:52pm ERIK / VermonT: Random musing: recently revisited that world of The Doo-Dooettes & that west coast improv musicians audio art factory (via a few YouTube videos) - great stuff.
	2:52pm Charles Goff III: Erik (and whoever...) -- If you are interested in hearing more of the old Taped Rugs cassettes, they've all been archived at Archive.org. Free to hear, free to download. Most have some sort of album notes to explain whatever we thought might be of interest when these got posted too.
	♥ 2:53pm northguineahills: thanks tony, hear ya next week!
	🥁 ♥ 2:53pm Julie: When Tony is finished I'll be over here folks, no clowns but maybe caves wfmu.org...
	♥ 2:54pm Tony Coulter: Hey, Julie!
	🥁 ♥ 2:54pm Julie: hiya Tony!
	🥁 ♥ 2:54pm Asheville Jon: thanks Tony!!! Julie: looking forward to the birds!!!
	♥ 2:56pm TDK60: Thanks, Tony!
	2:58pm ERIK / VermonT: @ ALL = indeed , Archives noted and appreciated.
	🥁 ♥ 2:58pm JtotheK: enjoyed the show - thanks!
	🥁 ♥ 2:58pm spodiodi: great show, Tony! thanks!
	🥁 ♥ 2:59pm Julie: thanks Tony!
	♥ 2:59pm Tony Coulter: Thanks for showing up, everyone! See you next week, I hope!
	🥁 ♥ 2:59pm Yvang: Thanks Tony! Great tape hiss show today!
	🥁 ♥ 2:59pm pot8o: thanks Tony! have a great week everyone!
	🥁 ♥ 2:59pm Yvang: archive.org...
	3:00pm Charles Goff III: Had a great time Tony and all. Thank YOU!
	🥁 ♥ 3:00pm chresti: Thanks Tony!
	3:08pm rw: Thank you!!
	3:16pm ERIK / VermonT: FYI post show addendum: via Sheena stream “Friendly Persuasion” w/Otis Fodder is back ! & portends much worthiness. “Arbitrarium” is a must, & try Kitten Sparkles (aka Dan Bolles) it’s 🦇💩 crazy.
	🥁 ♥ 4:21pm WR: Thank you! Tony! and honorable musician guests!
	🥁 ♥ 4:22pm WR: ↳ Charles Goff III @2:52 Thank you!

	🥁 ♥ 12:32pm WR: ↳ Yvang @12:22 Yes, of course. And is it the clown's microwave or the cave's microwave and is it a device for heating food or transmitting signals or actual microwaves of the clown (or cave) frequency and amplitude.
	♥ 12:32pm Tony Coulter: So, no one recognizes today's mystery LP? Here are some clues: the record is on SST and the artist was also involved in wrestling.
	🥁 ♥ 12:33pm JtotheK: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:32 Oh, then in that case - I'll guess Lawrence Welk.
	♥ 12:33pm TDK60: ↳ Tony Coulter @12:32 Got me, Tony. I must've missed that one. I have a pile of old SST LPs.

	🥁 ♥ 12:38pm WR: Ah, NGH got it legit, by knowing it. I was just browsing the SST releases on discogs and found it but too slow.
	♥ 12:43pm northguineahills: i know i heard an sst recs special on wfmu in the last year, yet, I can't tell you who did it.. (it'll come to me later today) (and there was an 45 minutes of sst by alan (6 degrees) not too long ago

	♥ 12:49pm Tony Coulter: Ha!
	🥁 ♥ 12:50pm Yvang: I recommend yesterday's Wendy's show which was a lot of fun. Hi Wendy.
	12:52pm wendy del formaggio: Hey Yvang! Thanks so much for tuning in, and for your review. :-) I had a lot of fun too. I really like being on the radio.
	♥ 12:53pm Tony Coulter: I recently read two different obits of DJs who were on the air continuously for 50 or 60 years. It is addictive.
	🥁 ♥ 12:54pm WR: ↳ Song: "side A" by "Cave Clown Microwave" Since you have chose not to list the tracks, I did a search, hoping that the cassette might be on Discogs or somewhere listing the tracks. Found this on bandcamp: wheelchairfullofoldmen1.bandcamp.com... Is that side A (I ask since I thought you said over 50 tracks on side A...)
	♥ 12:55pm Tony Coulter: Nah, over 50 tracks on both sides together. Thanks for the link!

	♥ 12:59pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Oleh from Pittsburgh @12:58 Hi, Oleh! I'm glad you're enjoying it!

	🥁 ♥ 1:06pm Yvang: ↳ Sem @1:03 I like their keywords : "idiotic crap, punk, Michigan"
	1:06pm wendy del formaggio: I started at age 23 on pirate radio. I did take a few multi-year breaks from hosting my own show on community radio, with occasional guest appearances on WFMU. But I hope to be doing a weekly for many more decades.
	🥁 ♥ 1:07pm WR: LOL, I got a call and stopped listening for a minute and when I restarted the stream I accidentally clicked on Rock N Soul and hearing a bit of Northern Soul, thought for a moment, wow, thes clowns are going all over the place.
	🥁 ♥ 1:08pm Sem: AiT, hello. Gone native...Hawaiian?
	🥁 ♥ 1:08pm WR: ↳ Sem @1:03 Only $36.60 for 353 releases!

	♥ 1:14pm northguineahills: ↳ wendy del formaggio @1:06 in college my friends did pirate radio, which only led to them getting their equipment confiscated once.

	🥁 ♥ 1:22pm WR: ↳ WR @1:21 shit, read it wrong, he died in January 2023.
	1:26pm ERIK / VermonT: @ Mr Coulter & or Anyone that can enlighten me : What (& why) are the reasons the Tape Hiss shows aren’t archived ? I’m confused: the last several months seem available & are posted & clickable & downloadable …(perhaps for a limited time only ?). - perhaps “archived” means indefinitely.
	🥁 ♥ 1:26pm pot8o: this feels like if a bunch of aliens saw a vintage cartoon with the sound of and tried to compose a soundtrack for it
	♥ 1:27pm Tony Coulter: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @1:26 Hi, Erik! The shows that feature complete cassettes aren't archived (for legal reasons). All other shows are archived forever.
	🥁 ♥ 1:29pm pot8o: say, is there anywhere i could send some of my cassettes? I've got a couple comps and an avant-folk tape
	1:31pm listener Phillip in the Bronx: Loving it Loving it!
	♥ 1:32pm Tony Coulter: ↳ pot8o @1:29 Send 'em to me! If you message me, I'll give you my home address.
	1:35pm rw: Good morning!
	♥ 1:36pm Tony Coulter: Morning, rw!
	♥ 1:41pm Tony Coulter: Here's a pic of Disism in 1986 (thanks to group member Charles Rice Goff III -- the guitarist -- for sending it to me). ibb.co...
	1:46pm rw: ↳ Tony Coulter @1:41 Photos like that make me realize I really DO miss the '80s
	1:47pm rw: And realizations like that really do make me feel like old guy.
	♥ 1:49pm Tony Coulter: These days, plenty of people in their 20s seem to miss the '80s too (and the '60s, '70s, and '90s).
	♥ 1:50pm Tony Coulter: Judging from the way so many current bands borrow heavily from those decades.
	1:54pm rw: Haha! The good thing about that is my kids and I love to geek out about music and very often we're on the same page.
	1:55pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Where did that segment riff a couple minutes earlier on this1987 piece come from. I’m 99 % sure it was lifted Very familiar. .
	♥ 1:55pm Tony Coulter: Not sure....
	1:56pm Charles Goff III: This whole album was recorded in one day. No guitar or any other instruments were "lifted" from anywhere.
	♥ 1:57pm Tony Coulter: Hi, Charles! Glad you're here!
	♥ 1:57pm Tony Coulter: (Charles is half of Disism.)
	1:58pm Mark Kaswan: I'm here, too! Congrats on your pronunciation of my name--much better than most.
	1:59pm Charles Goff III: Oh, I wouldn't miss this one. Thanks much for the attention today Mister Coulter. I could even answer questions about this thing if anyone had any... Otherwise, just dig hearing this all again. OHH, Hey Killr! Glad you could join in too.
	♥ 2:00pm Tony Coulter: Ah, Mark K. -- I'm glad ... for my not-so-off pronunciation and that you're here too!
	2:00pm Dean: For Mr. Kaswan: Any relation to climate change law scholar Alice Kaswan?
	2:01pm ERIK / VermonT: Hi👋 Tony. Would you perhaps indulge me in a bit of collect-o-rama shop talk ? (e.g: that exciting LoYoYo reissue update news last week). After hearing ARB’s show (btw: Arbitrarium comes highly recommended !) I got lost in a deep dive into the Discogs reissue limbo of researching the overwhelmingly random maze that is the career of Jim Welton (It’s War Boys catalog) / Homosexuals offshoots Amos & Sara / L’Voag / Just Measurers / Milk from Cheltenham / Fear Merchants / Xentos / Narky Brillans / etc etc & on & on it goes …. I noticed that there have been many Lp (& CD ???) & CDr file re-issues ballpark 2015 and forward. Tony, have you found a reliable source to procure such limited reissue items & or are any still available in 3D touch & feel media formats ?
	2:01pm Mark Kaswan: Yes, it's nice to hear this. 60 Seconds Left remains one of my favorites.
	2:04pm Mark Kaswan: ↳ Dean @2:00 Yes, that's my sister. She does really good work.
	2:04pm rw: Mark and Charles, cool that you're here! Sounding great.
	2:05pm Dean: Indeed, she does! That's great! I myself have taught a bit on environmental justice, which was the avenue to learning about her.
	♥ 2:06pm Tony Coulter: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @2:01 Yep, Arb's show is really great. Not sure if I know of a one-stop source for Jim Welton reissues. There's a store in Portland that's good for the more recent stuff. They do mail order too: jigsaw-records.com...
	2:06pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Charles and Mark. This is a great piece. Nothing pejorative meant in my asking about the familiar sounding riff. All sweet textural elements. Just that it sounded so familiar in an Ummagummaish way
	♥ 2:07pm northguineahills: ↳ Tony Coulter @1:49 i myself, suffer from misremembered false nostalgia...
	2:08pm Charles Goff III: RW -- very pleased to be here. Glad your ears are tingling. Oleh, that's a high compliment -- one of Floyd's finest flowers!
	♥ 2:09pm northguineahills: ok, i've found a loophole in chatgpt's character output limit (this time i didn't break anything. could come in handy for repetitive coding motifs...
	♥ 2:10pm Tony Coulter: ↳ northguineahills @2:09 Are you using it to compose dirty limericks?
	♥ 2:10pm Andrew in Toronto: ↳ Sem @1:08 Why not?
	2:11pm Dean: Well, let's see. What rhymes with "loophole"?
	♥ 2:13pm northguineahills: ↳ Tony Coulter @2:10 i wish. just to do the grunt work for my rdbs html interface of my school project (to improve upon what they use at the shelter). I have 3 more days....
	🥁 ♥ 2:17pm Sem: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @2:10 Excellent place to go native, Andrew. A new language is always a plus. Enjoying Disism Side A very much. Thank you to the creators!
	♥ 2:17pm Tony Coulter: Charles and Mark: I have a general question. How aware were you of the international cassette culture scene at the time you made this tape? Were you already in touch with a lot of cassette artists?
	2:19pm Charles Goff III: Answer for Tony... We were quite aware at this point. This one got a review in OPTION magazine.
	♥ 2:21pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Charles Goff III @2:19 Ah, I still have most of my OPTION mags -- I'll have to look for that review!
	2:23pm ERIK / VermonT: @Tony: ok, thanks for the link response. It’s a start, I guess. Appreciated. I’m afraid my old original cassettes of those early “It’s War Boys” might disintegrate with playback. a Musing: a WFMU “too much of a great thing” audio crime: Having Miss Mei’s “only music I care about” directly opposites your show is a cruel trick to the listeners of found audio obscurities !
	🥁 ♥ 2:25pm chresti: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @2:23 Have not listened to Miss Mei's show yet
	♥ 2:26pm northguineahills: ↳ Dean @2:11 there once was couple of mormans, who found swinging more fun than sermans, they found a utah marital license loopholed,and conjoled a throople, and now the babe's sister is also his cousin... /got nuttin'...
	2:26pm Oleh from Pittsburgh: Fantastic work! Thanks Charles and Mark. Those cassette culture days were so creative,immediate, and intimate.
	♥ 2:26pm Tony Coulter: ↳ ERIK / VermonT @2:23 By the way, the very first LP (the 2 Square Y?) you see if you click on Jigsaw Records' "new in stock" section is from Jim Welton.
	♥ 2:28pm Tony Coulter: ↳ chresti @2:25 Neither have I -- guess I should!
	2:33pm Mark Kaswan: I think what I miss most about those Disism sessions (as well as Herd of the Ether Space, which Charlie and I were a part of) was the sense of immersion and present-ness in the experience. We never thought about how what we were doing would be received by other people, and when I was playing I was usually fully in the moment and my engagement with the people I was playing with. It was a kind of freedom I've never felt anywhere else. And I think it comes across in the music.
	♥ 2:34pm Tony Coulter: By the way, just some advance notice that next week's show will be completely different from today's: I'll be playing nothing but super-well-known artists from the '60s and '70s -- the kind that are staples on classic rock radio ... but, hopefully, giving them a fresh coat of paint.
	🥁 ♥ 2:36pm chresti: ↳ Song: "side B" by "Disism" Do I hear a ping-pong game in there?
	2:40pm Charles Goff III: Chresti -- no ping pong. My guess is that what you think is ping pong is the sound of a percussion instrument of some sort that is being taped looped at a slow speed by a often modified reel to reel. We had a lot of toys to play with in the studio that day...
	♥ 2:41pm Andrew in Toronto: That was another wonderful show! Thanks Tony!
	2:42pm ERIK / VermonT: FYI : Miss Mei’s show via Sheena stream archives is a total rare audio oddities riot ! (Albeit, all over the map !) Yet, isn’t that what we Love ?! Put on your rubber boots & get slogging ! Amidst the international cloying clown obscurities, and naughty no-no’s, there are sprinkled in treasures to behold and adore ! Highly Recommend.
	♥ 2:43pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Mark Kaswan @2:33 Mark, it definitely does come across. Guess there's a real freedom in being totally outside the "music biz."
	♥ 2:44pm Tony Coulter: ↳ Andrew in Toronto @2:41 You're welcome, Andrew! Glad you enjoyed it.
	2:47pm ERIK / VermonT: @ Charles & Mark (& Tony!): Such a treat to travel back in time to cassette culture daze ! - the opportunity that the artists themselves frequently contribute to these broadcasts (so many years after !) is a wonderful happening ! … Continue until one drops … Much Appreciated ❤️ 🙏
	2:52pm ERIK / VermonT: Random musing: recently revisited that world of The Doo-Dooettes & that west coast improv musicians audio art factory (via a few YouTube videos) - great stuff.
	2:52pm Charles Goff III: Erik (and whoever...) -- If you are interested in hearing more of the old Taped Rugs cassettes, they've all been archived at Archive.org. Free to hear, free to download. Most have some sort of album notes to explain whatever we thought might be of interest when these got posted too.
	♥ 2:53pm northguineahills: thanks tony, hear ya next week!
	🥁 ♥ 2:53pm Julie: When Tony is finished I'll be over here folks, no clowns but maybe caves wfmu.org...

	3:00pm Charles Goff III: Had a great time Tony and all. Thank YOU!
	🥁 ♥ 3:00pm chresti: Thanks Tony!
	3:08pm rw: Thank you!!
	3:16pm ERIK / VermonT: FYI post show addendum: via Sheena stream “Friendly Persuasion” w/Otis Fodder is back ! & portends much worthiness. “Arbitrarium” is a must, & try Kitten Sparkles (aka Dan Bolles) it’s 🦇💩 crazy.
	🥁 ♥ 4:21pm WR: Thank you! Tony! and honorable musician guests!
	🥁 ♥ 4:22pm WR: ↳ Charles Goff III @2:52 Thank you!
