	8:00pm MHLee: Howdy Scott!
	8:03pm Scott67: MHLee, thanks for filling Rich's Crate mate! 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	8:04pm MHLee: I like playing stuff from the other parts of my collection.
	8:04pm Mr Fab: Hey MHLee! That actually was Guy Lombardo back there few minutes ago.
	8:04pm Kat in Chicago: Unnecessary Clanking Sounds sounds promising
	8:04pm Aitch: Hey MHLee and crew.
	8:04pm StringOFperils: Hello Crate Digger's Substitute Lung. Enjoying the absolutely mental Primus
	8:05pm Kat in Chicago: (now there's something I didn't imagine myself typing earlier today)
	8:05pm Aitch: Healing vibes to Rich beaming over
	8:05pm MHLee: There were five golden albums pressed on this. As far as I know they haven't been found. They guarantee free Primus tickets and Les tickets for life
	8:06pm StringOFperils: Wow! Some of the nastier winners will die in a vat of nacho cheese
	8:07pm MHLee: Indeed. Such a Demented movie.
	8:08pm StringOFperils: Primus for life is too hard to think about. Maybe just lunch with Les Claypool one time.
	8:09pm MHLee: I'd love to find the Golden ticket. I just don't want 80 copies of it. There's a stereophonic version that was nominated for a grammy.
	8:11pm Rich in Washington: Grateful for this crateful, MHLee!
	8:11pm Kat in Chicago: RICH!
	8:11pm spodiodi: aloha, MHLee and all! aloha Ricch!
	8:12pm Rich in Washington: Howdy!
	8:12pm spodiodi: Rich*
	8:12pm MHLee: Hi Rich! Let's all wish Rich a speedy recovery!
	8:13pm Robm: Hey fellow listeners
	8:13pm MHLee: We need more Crate-Diggers lung.
	8:13pm Kat in Chicago: I already did on the bad book of face but I'll do it again! Rich, hope you heal up good!
	8:14pm Kat in Chicago: This King Crimson was a nice pick MHLee
	8:14pm Robm: @MHLee i agree with you on that
	8:14pm Rich in Washington: I'm getting all heal up. Just on on screens much until my eyeballs can agree on what they're looking at.
	8:15pm Robm: Howdy kat
	8:15pm MHLee: I need to go back and relisten to those two 80's King Crimson albums. I hated them as a teen.
	8:15pm Kat in Chicago: That sounds like an unpleasant sensation, Rich. hi Robm!
	8:16pm MHLee: Hi Robm
	8:17pm Mr Fab: Hey Rich! Don Bolles now has his pal Cheree to help him, due to his eyesight issues. We need to get you a seeing-eye radio dog.
	8:17pm spodiodi: wishing you and your eyeballs a speedy recovery, Rich hello, Robm
	8:17pm MHLee: I think a lot of existential angst about God snuck into this. That's fine. We had a King James fundamentalist on campus today.
	8:17pm Robm: @Scott67 if your still around howdy @Spodiodi @rich hang in there
	8:17pm MHLee: Hi Spod and Mr Fab Btw and Aitch and Cat and SOP and anyone else I forgot to greet
	8:19pm Mr Fab: Growing up in Catholic school I can surely relate MHLee.
	8:19pm MHLee: I wasn't born yet.
	8:19pm Cp304: Best wishes Rich..
	8:19pm _Ike_: Not sure exactly what I've stumbled into here, but hello!
	8:20pm StringOFperils: Tiny Tim weighs in on the anti-christ. It's part of a complete breakfast, Ike.
	8:20pm Kat in Chicago: It's MHDiggers Lung
	8:20pm MHLee: Hello Ike! Welcome to a nightmare.
	8:21pm Robm: @ike that is the charm of the internet streams, never know what you will hear:)
	8:21pm Kat in Chicago: Tiny Tim & Current 93, that's a WFMU combo platter for ya
	8:22pm StringOFperils: I have this on a tape somewhere.
	8:22pm MHLee: I played Tiny Tim singing "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" on MWRA earlier.
	8:22pm Scott67: G'day Rich! 😎🤙💨🌻
	8:23pm MHLee: This actually gives me Crass vibes
	8:23pm Scott67: G'day Robm!🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	8:23pm Mr Fab: Tiny Tim used to have these fascinating/pathetic interviews on Howard Stern, where he'd describe in toe-curling detail such subject as his impotency, and reviews of various cleaners he was obsessed with. One of those guys who had to wash his hands all day.,
	8:24pm Kat in Chicago: Yeah I remember him talking about wearing diapers once
	8:24pm MHLee: He's a weird and complicated character. I've read his biography.
	8:24pm Robm: @scott67 when are you going to be on WFMU again?
	8:25pm MHLee: @kat apparently he didn't trust underwear because he didn't think you could get it clean... so the diapers were throw-away underwear
	8:25pm Kat in Chicago: Good question Robm. That Drop-In was fantastic
	8:25pm MHLee: Weird OCD manifestations
	8:25pm Robm: Tinytim was just batshit crazy
	8:26pm MHLee: Song goes quiet here but the track goes on...
	8:27pm Robm: @Kat yes it was, are you ever going to do a drop in, or would your radio station have a fit about it?
	8:27pm MHLee: He also had a huge 78 collection. Archived a ton of stuff. I often use the originals of songs I have him singing to fill out my MWRA shows.
	8:28pm Scott67: Robm, Terre asked me to do another Drop-In Show, to keep as a backup for any DJ dropouts. I must get my shit together & do it. The Schedule is booked out for rest of 2022.
	8:28pm Kat in Chicago: Me? It wouldn't be a problem with WLUW. I have been meaning to propose a Radio Row to Olivia, but I have been lazy
	8:28pm Mr Fab: Robin on the Stern show said she was happy to hear that he died. Not because she disliked him, but because he seemed tortured by all his obsessions/compulsions. A prisoner to them. At last he found peace.
	8:28pm Scott67: Cheers Kat!🍻😎🤙💨🍺🌻
	8:29pm Kat in Chicago: I agree with Robin
	8:30pm Robm: @Kat would love to hear that on Sunday @Mrfab sounds about right with tiny tim
	8:32pm MHLee: I apologize for being terribly tongue-tied. My sylla-ble empahi-sis gets all messed up.
	8:32pm MHLee: One of the three tracks that I'd also play on the otherworld.
	8:33pm spodiodi: any more fantasy or dungeon-synth today MHLee? (that was great)
	8:33pm Kat in Chicago: It's actuallly nice to hear you and not the robot MHLee
	8:34pm spodiodi: ^
	8:35pm MHLee: @Spodiodi, no but I might upload a ton of shows to my mix cloud soon. I have tons recorded. I just can't be bothered to fill out the track lists. I have at least 20 unreleased recordings of my live shows.
	8:35pm StringOFperils: ^^
	8:35pm spodiodi: 👍
	8:35pm Robm: I agree I wish someone would find a nicer voice for the robot
	8:35pm spodiodi: MHLee, nice.
	8:35pm Scott67: I like your style MHLee! It's Radio for Geeks, Freaks & Weirdos remember mate! 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	8:36pm Kat in Chicago: I am bad at updating my Soundcloud arcive because I'm lazy about the tracklists too. I am just lazy about everything except actually picking the tracks out and putting them together
	8:36pm MHLee: This is a haunting album.
	8:37pm Robm: @Scott67 that is part of the charm of this station and the internet streams is hearing strange stuff like this
	8:37pm Scott67: Sound what?? 🌥️🎶
	8:38pm MHLee: I used to keep track of all of them but messed one up and gave up. The Otherworld is my baby. Runs 12-2 am EST. I have a mannerism to the way I speak that works...
	8:39pm Scott67: Robm, & MHLee's Mic Break style mate. I like unassuming, natural DJ's.
	8:39pm MHLee: I love this track.
	8:39pm Robm: @Scott67 ditto
	8:39pm Kat in Chicago: Scott soundcloud.com...
	8:40pm spodiodi: i'm marching aground my living room
	8:40pm StringOFperils: Pagan party
	8:40pm Scott67: I think of Russian Conscripts marching to the slaughter for a madman's ego.
	8:41pm MHLee: There's three early Gae Bolg albums that sound this. Then there's some other stuff and a really really weird album that I think is about mental institutions?
	8:41pm Kat in Chicago: Oh yeah he was threatening total nuclear annihilation for all today. I shouldn't read news on my lunch break
	8:42pm StringOFperils: Let's hope that doesn't materialize.
	8:42pm Scott67: Kat, places like that scare me a bit. I don't do well with choices, let alone infinite ones..
	8:43pm Robm: @Scott67 been listening to a lot of BBC for news about putin
	8:43pm Kat in Chicago: I get that, Scott. I feel that way in the supermarket at times.
	8:43pm Scott67: 🦇🦇🦇🦇
	8:43pm MHLee: I thinks he's more postering. He told his people that everyone is saying they'll nuke him and he's ready to retaliate...
	8:44pm Mr Fab: When the Bauhaus orig came out, I thought he was singing, "I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead..." Which I thought was pretty cool.
	8:44pm MHLee: This is a wild supergroup I first heard on the Sheena stream
	8:44pm Robm: Hey guys get BBC sounds, you can get the BBCWS, and they do no bullshit news
	8:45pm Scott67: Same Fab!🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	8:45pm Kat in Chicago: I thought that until REALLY recently Fab
	8:45pm MHLee: The next band I'm playing I'm really surprised was not showing up in the WFMU autofill.
	8:46pm MHLee: Some great albums and songs, one which definitely sounds like horror-country johnny cash
	8:46pm Scott67: BBC is great mate. BBC World Service Radio has been around for decades.
	8:47pm MHLee: A different song called Coffinshaker, worth checking out
	8:47pm Mr Fab: Funny MHLee, I have been recently reviewing an album by The Coffinshakers for tracks to add to the stream
	8:48pm Scott67: On that note, I must go forth to TRASH CULT, to drink & talk shit about stuff & shit. Tune will in there! ☠️🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	8:48pm Robm: @Scott67 when i got a shortwave radio 30 years ago one of the first things i found was the BBC, trust me really gave me a whole new outlook on the news
	8:50pm MHLee: This vaguely reminds me, there was a killer and probably illegal comp called the Devil's Jukebox, Taboo 60s. That comp absolutely was instrumental to my music tastes but got removed from existence. I WOULD LOVE to get it again. All I've found is a track list
	8:51pm MHLee: @Scott See ya Scott. I'll give you a visit if I'm ever in the downunder.
	8:53pm MHLee: This is NOT that Come to the Sabbat
	👻 9:00pm WR: Hi MHLee and Friday Sheena streamers!
	9:00pm MHLee: Vocally Paul is almost a perfect twin for Robyn Hitchcock. The two were on the same label and have played together.
	9:01pm MHLee: Hi WR!
	9:01pm spodiodi: hi, WR!
	9:03pm chresti: Hi MHLee and merry makers!
	9:04pm MHLee: Hi Chresti, we are getting the full communion tonight. I don't know into what but something.
	9:04pm chresti: blessed be!
	9:06pm spodiodi: Material <3 William S. Burroughs <3
	9:06pm chresti: hi spodi!\\//
	9:06pm spodiodi: aloha, chresti!\\//
	9:07pm MHLee: Burroughs is an uncanny creature
	9:07pm chresti: cool avatar spodi!
	9:08pm spodiodi: love Words of Advice
	9:08pm chresti: Give this guy oxygen
	9:08pm spodiodi: thanks, chresti!
	9:09pm Rich in Washington: Ha. I've been thinking about this album a lot lately.
	9:10pm MHLee: I first heard this in the Sopranos somewhere. The voice was instantly recognizable.
	9:10pm Kat in Chicago: It is a Rich-ish selection
	9:10pm Kat in Chicago: And has some clanging sounds
	9:11pm theDerek: PREACH PAPA BURROUGHS!! PREACH!!
	9:11pm spodiodi: i was just thinking about Words of Advice yesterday in the shower
	9:11pm spodiodi: GET IT IN WRITING!
	9:11pm MHLee: Hello the the Derek
	9:15pm spodiodi: Moondog! <3
	9:15pm Kat in Chicago: Yay Moondog
	9:15pm theDerek: Hi MHLee! First time checking out the show..... digging it so far
	9:15pm MHLee: An underrated artist if ever there was one
	9:17pm MHLee: Hi theDerek, I'm actually filling in for Rich in Washington. On this station I normally play an eclectic mix of pre-rock styles (and modern artist in those genres). Elsewhere I run a fantasy themed radioshow.
	9:18pm MHLee: This is a very odd private press release. This is one of the more normal tracks. I have this album with three other albums tagged jazz-rock.
	9:18pm spodiodi: got in a little more marching on that last track :^)
	9:20pm theDerek: Excellent choice by Rich inWA for a fill in. I'll definitely check out your regular slot.
	9:21pm MHLee: We're a merry band who are up for it.
	9:22pm MHLee: (This is still one of the more normal songs on the album)
	9:23pm chresti: I enjoy clanging
	9:23pm MHLee: I like sax
	9:24pm MHLee: Speaking of
	9:28pm Rich in Washington: Dang, MHLee! You're killing it! Really diggin' this set while I cook (something gross and healthy!).
	9:29pm Kat in Chicago: You're ahead of me Rich, i got delivery that only ticked the gross box
	9:30pm MHLee: Thanks Rich! Enjoy your dinner!
	9:35pm chresti: How ya doing, Rich?
	9:36pm Rich in Washington: Hi chresti! Feeling MUCH better! Music helps!
	9:39pm MHLee: From 1924
	9:39pm Rich in Washington: Hey, It's CutUpSound!
	9:39pm Kat in Chicago: yep yer plunderphonic buddy!
	9:40pm MHLee: I need to read the Art of Noise
	9:41pm MHLee: B-side I believe
	9:41pm MHLee: Or companion piece, whatever you want to call it
	9:42pm MHLee: Kinda sounds like a toilet flushing over a classical composition, that's the beauty of it
	9:42pm Kat in Chicago: Haha this is cool
	9:44pm Ike: Meow.
	9:45pm MHLee: From the Quake soundtrack
	9:45pm StringOFperils: Foetus heartbeat?
	9:45pm MHLee: What a good cat
	9:46pm MHLee: @SoP that might be exactly what that is
	9:47pm MHLee: Quake has a genuinely creepy atmosphere. I played it last year... first time since I was like six and got jump scared a few times
	9:48pm Rich in Washington: reminds me having an ultrasound a few days ago.
	9:49pm spodiodi: i have 3 copies of quake 2 <3 stacked up for goodwill on my table in the other room
	9:50pm spodiodi: quake was pretty scary the first time around
	9:50pm MHLee: I loved quake 2 as a child but of the first three quake games that one has aged the worst.
	9:51pm spodiodi: maybe. i was all about deathmatches with friends
	9:51pm MHLee: The dog things in quake 2... and the spider things... scary.
	9:51pm spodiodi: i had a ton of maps and mods
	9:52pm MHLee: Haha, we didn't have internet until I was like 14. We skimmed neighbors wifi for a while
	9:52pm MHLee: Here's a fantasy track
	9:53pm spodiodi: indeed on scary 9spent many an extended lunch break on q2 dm
	9:53pm Rich in Washington: I'm so old I remember dialup.
	9:53pm spodiodi: cool .sounds good
	9:54pm Kat in Chicago: I remember typewriters
	9:54pm Kat in Chicago: and rotary phones
	9:54pm MHLee: We had dial-up until like 2003 or so. But I was like 7.
	9:54pm Rich in Washington: I remember not having internet and mail ordering records without knowing what they sounded like.
	9:55pm MHLee: I remember CRTVs going out.
	9:55pm spodiodi: i remember soffering on 300bps modems on up (and running up BIG long distance bills to japanese BBSs
	9:55pm Rich in Washington: I still have a rotary phone. It's hooked up in my studio but the ringer's off. It works even if there's no electricity.
	9:56pm spodiodi: talk phoney to me, Rich
	9:56pm MHLee: BTW there's a big secondary market for CRTVs in the right audience. The apparently don't have visual lag so pro-gamers prefer them.
	9:57pm MHLee: When I started college E-sports teams were not a thing colleges had. By the time I left you could get full scholarships for it.
	9:58pm spodiodi: i used to drive around with a princess phone (push button though) in my car beause i liked how it looked... my good friend had a payphone he stole in his bedroom
	9:59pm spodiodi: he had it working without coins, of course
	9:59pm MHLee: there's a payphone on the other side of the bridge I walk across every day.
	10:00pm spodiodi: he also had the courage to steam the entire communications chunck out of an undercover/unmarked police car
	10:00pm MHLee: no phone booth though so tough luck for superman
	10:00pm spodiodi: (and stole motorcycles) shame shame
	10:01pm spodiodi: ha
	10:01pm spodiodi: i wonder if he's ever told his kids
	10:02pm MHLee: I first found dungeonsynth probably around 2013, trying to find music to mod into skyrim.
	10:02pm MHLee: That's an interesting confession
	10:03pm spodiodi: the same guy who taught me how to build a phone dialer (to use on payphones and not have to pay) -- came in handy for long distance girlfriends
	10:04pm MHLee: my only advice on that sorta of thing I had to learn from Steal this Book
	10:04pm spodiodi: he also ran all kinds of CC schemes, consorted with hacker collectives from denmark and other places -- flew them over with other ppls credit, etc
	10:04pm spodiodi: he was crazy
	10:06pm MHLee: Sounds wild
	10:07pm spodiodi: mostly in the 80s. ah the good ole days (get away with as much as possible before you can be tried as an adult, i guess)
	10:08pm Rich in Washington: Oh yeah!
	10:08pm StringOFperils: Scared my cat away. Ha ha.
	10:09pm MHLee: I was tempted to play something from Metal, meat, Bone... which is a really good modern Residents release but went with this one instead
	10:09pm MHLee: Sample from the Human Beinz
	10:09pm Rich in Washington: Speaking of sending away for music 'sight' unseen... I kept reading about The Residents and finally sent away for their Buy or Die mail order catalog and randomly chose a few records and it completely fucked me up for normal music forever.
	10:10pm spodiodi: nice
	10:10pm MHLee: I don't even know. I think I got here looking for covers of Telster.
	10:10pm Rich in Washington: They made loops by bending a wire hanger and making it hit against the stylus at a desired place. High tech!
	10:10pm spodiodi: i remember seeing Residents ads/promos in Thrasher before i ever heard em
	10:11pm StringOFperils: I think ESKIMO changed the way I thought about popular music
	10:11pm Rich in Washington: Yeah, they advertised in lots of magazines. I remember an ad in the back of Rolling Stone that finally did it for me. I think I still have some old Buy or Dies in my flat files.
	10:12pm MHLee: My introduction was definitely Third Reich and Roll... then I think I heard the Penn thinh
	10:12pm MHLee: Ralph Records deep dives is always a good way to find stuff
	10:13pm chresti: Good marching music
	10:13pm spodiodi: good thing i haven't put my baton away just yet
	10:13pm spodiodi: marches some more
	10:14pm MHLee: I'd love to see a high school band play this.
	10:14pm spodiodi: if you ever have the chance, see these people en.wikipedia.org...
	10:15pm MHLee: I never figured out what that last minute of this song is doing.
	10:16pm Rich in Washington: We had a similar marching outfit in Portland called the March Fourth Band (I think they originally formed for a protest). They're pretty groovy.
	10:16pm spodiodi: www.youtube.com... lots of stuff out on yt
	10:16pm MHLee: Adding to radar Spod
	10:16pm chresti: spodi, the one time I remember getting spanked was for marching up and down the driveway when I was about 3 or 4
	10:18pm spodiodi: chresti! ha!
	10:19pm spodiodi: i seldom got spanked. my grandfather used his belt though :\|
	10:19pm StringOFperils: Maybe Antonio Russolo's work will see a resurgence now that Italian fascism is back in fashion
	10:21pm Rich in Washington: love this album so much.
	10:21pm chresti: Back in fascision
	10:21pm StringOFperils: *rimshot
	10:22pm Mr Fab: You can thank the NightFlight show for heppin me to the Residents c.1982. They did a mini-doc about em and showed the “Constantinople” video. That’ll do it.
	10:23pm spodiodi: haha chresti good one
	10:23pm MHLee: I couldn't figure out whether Russolo got caught up in the fascist party. I know the Russian futurists mostly avoided that... but Zang tang thum or whatever that song was called... that guy surely did get into it
	10:25pm MHLee: The Futurist Cookbook is also worth seeing just as a curiosity piece. Folks at vice tried to cook from it a few years back... weird food
	10:25pm StringOFperils: Italian Futurism was specifically about speed, dynamism, the replacement of men by machines, and death. Oddly, the art that expressed it was often beautiful
	10:25pm MHLee: www.vice.com...
	10:26pm MHLee: @StringOfPearls Oddly the industrial culture handbook could certainly be read to be about the same stuff... but I don't think most of them celebrated that... unlike the Italians
	10:28pm Rich in Washington: I am literally staring at this album on my wall at the moment.
	10:28pm MHLee: I think industrial... at least good industrial brings awareness of the condition of dehumanization we exist in... the situation one might say.
	10:29pm MHLee: There's a hypnotic quality to the beats on this stuff. I wish rivetheads were more about these days.
	10:34pm MHLee: Strong religious themes in this episode-eh?
	10:36pm StringOFperils: Provocative as it's supposed to be. A product of a time when dialogue descends into violence. It's a suffocated scream.
	10:37pm MHLee: Amen
	10:38pm MHLee: There's a reason I've always liked the second planet of the apes movie...
	👻 10:39pm WR: I hate it when the hippies laugh.
	10:39pm MHLee: This is a rather biting album
	10:40pm MHLee: Mick Farren, I understand was something like an Abby Hoffman for England
	10:42pm MHLee: @WR The thing is... Owsley Stanley definitely hand CIA handlers and was handing out "candy"
	10:43pm Rich in Washington: Yep. He was something else. I think The Deviants really paved the way for Punk, too.
	10:44pm MHLee: I think so too, Rich. The English part of the equation.
	10:45pm MHLee: Have you ever seen the Jeffrey Lewis musical history of punk in NYC? That's an interesting one.
	10:47pm MHLee: Just 3 more tracks!
	10:51pm Rich in Washington: Recentish Laibach is so weird.
	10:51pm MHLee: I love the North Korea albums
	10:52pm Rich in Washington: I watched the doc but I think the last Laibach album I bought was Volk.
	10:52pm MHLee: The most recent album is more a return to some sort of the previous state. A lot of cut up sounds. Proclamation in German.
	10:53pm spodiodi: i'm stingy with the stars i give to pf. this one is nice
	10:53pm MHLee: I love the operetta.
	10:55pm MHLee: Waters has some tracks in his solo career that stand out too. He's got a wit. I particularly like the line in Two Suns in the Sunset (about nuclear holocaust) "looks like the human race is run". That pun takes the (yellow) cake.
	10:57pm Kat in Chicago: Well done MHLee!
	10:57pm spodiodi: nice selections, MHLee! great show
	10:57pm Rich in Washington: Thanks so much, MHLee! Wonderful show!
	10:58pm MHLee: Thanks folks. I've got one more track so I think I'm going.
	👻 10:58pm WR: Ah, seems this fill in run is run as well. Nice program, MHLee, Mr Versatile! Laters all.
	10:58pm StringOFperils: Nice fill-in, MHLee. Thanks!
	10:59pm Rich in Washington: Thanks again for filling in! Much obliged! Nice sign-off, too!
	10:59pm spodiodi: see you in the streams, Cratediggers!
	11:01pm MHLee: Back to blasphemy to end.
	11:02pm StringOFperils: Seems appropriate. Big shit-show R us.
	11:02pm spodiodi: sacralicious
	11:02pm Aitch: Lurked through that, covered lots of bases, well done and thanks for the fill-in
	11:03pm MHLee: Thanks Aitch!
	11:04pm MHLee: Thinking about how funnily this contrasts with my other show today.
	11:04pm MHLee: Thanks everyone once again! Good night!
	11:31pm chresti: Thanks!

Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from September 23, 2022

View MHLee's profile

Merrily We Roll Along is a mish-mash of high energy lunacy, reverence, and irreverence for forgotten pop stars, love for Saturday morning cartoons, and exploration of the side of Bandcamp where I seem to be the only one purchasing. Bringing to you the odd and the upbeat from a growing collection of pre-rock novelties, classic and neo-Vaudeville, jug bands, polka, klezmer, and more at the convenient hour of 8-9 AM EST, Merrily We Roll Along starts the day off with a little light-hearted musical tomfoolery cut with an occasional comedy sketch. It's organic, free-range, cheese with the occasional onion thrown in.

Listener comments!
	8:00pm Scott67: G'day MHLee & Merry Crates!🍻😎🤙💨🍺 Best wishes & love to Rich, we miss ya mate. But take as long as it takes to get great again cobber.❤️
	8:00pm MHLee: Howdy Scott!
	8:03pm Scott67: MHLee, thanks for filling Rich's Crate mate! 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	8:04pm MHLee: I like playing stuff from the other parts of my collection.
	8:04pm Mr Fab: Hey MHLee! That actually was Guy Lombardo back there few minutes ago.
	8:04pm Kat in Chicago: Unnecessary Clanking Sounds sounds promising
	8:04pm Aitch: Hey MHLee and crew.
	8:04pm StringOFperils: Hello Crate Digger's Substitute Lung. Enjoying the absolutely mental Primus
	8:05pm Kat in Chicago: (now there's something I didn't imagine myself typing earlier today)
	8:05pm Aitch: Healing vibes to Rich beaming over
	8:05pm MHLee: There were five golden albums pressed on this. As far as I know they haven't been found. They guarantee free Primus tickets and Les tickets for life
	8:06pm StringOFperils: Wow! Some of the nastier winners will die in a vat of nacho cheese
	8:07pm MHLee: Indeed. Such a Demented movie.
	8:08pm StringOFperils: Primus for life is too hard to think about. Maybe just lunch with Les Claypool one time.
	8:09pm MHLee: I'd love to find the Golden ticket. I just don't want 80 copies of it. There's a stereophonic version that was nominated for a grammy.
	8:11pm Rich in Washington: Grateful for this crateful, MHLee!
	8:11pm Kat in Chicago: RICH!
	8:11pm spodiodi: aloha, MHLee and all! aloha Ricch!
	8:12pm Rich in Washington: Howdy!
	8:12pm spodiodi: Rich*
	8:12pm MHLee: Hi Rich! Let's all wish Rich a speedy recovery!
	8:13pm Robm: Hey fellow listeners
	8:13pm MHLee: We need more Crate-Diggers lung.
	8:13pm Kat in Chicago: I already did on the bad book of face but I'll do it again! Rich, hope you heal up good!
	8:14pm Kat in Chicago: This King Crimson was a nice pick MHLee
	8:14pm Robm: @MHLee i agree with you on that
	8:14pm Rich in Washington: I'm getting all heal up. Just on on screens much until my eyeballs can agree on what they're looking at.
	8:15pm Robm: Howdy kat
	8:15pm MHLee: I need to go back and relisten to those two 80's King Crimson albums. I hated them as a teen.
	8:15pm Kat in Chicago: That sounds like an unpleasant sensation, Rich. hi Robm!
	8:16pm MHLee: Hi Robm
	8:17pm Mr Fab: Hey Rich! Don Bolles now has his pal Cheree to help him, due to his eyesight issues. We need to get you a seeing-eye radio dog.
	8:17pm spodiodi: wishing you and your eyeballs a speedy recovery, Rich hello, Robm
	8:17pm MHLee: I think a lot of existential angst about God snuck into this. That's fine. We had a King James fundamentalist on campus today.
	8:17pm Robm: @Scott67 if your still around howdy @Spodiodi @rich hang in there
	8:17pm MHLee: Hi Spod and Mr Fab Btw and Aitch and Cat and SOP and anyone else I forgot to greet
	8:19pm Mr Fab: Growing up in Catholic school I can surely relate MHLee.
	8:19pm MHLee: I wasn't born yet.
	8:19pm Cp304: Best wishes Rich..
	8:19pm _Ike_: Not sure exactly what I've stumbled into here, but hello!
	8:20pm StringOFperils: Tiny Tim weighs in on the anti-christ. It's part of a complete breakfast, Ike.
	8:20pm Kat in Chicago: It's MHDiggers Lung
	8:20pm MHLee: Hello Ike! Welcome to a nightmare.
	8:21pm Robm: @ike that is the charm of the internet streams, never know what you will hear:)
	8:21pm Kat in Chicago: Tiny Tim & Current 93, that's a WFMU combo platter for ya
	8:22pm StringOFperils: I have this on a tape somewhere.
	8:22pm MHLee: I played Tiny Tim singing "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy" on MWRA earlier.
	8:22pm Scott67: G'day Rich! 😎🤙💨🌻
	8:23pm MHLee: This actually gives me Crass vibes
	8:23pm Scott67: G'day Robm!🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	8:23pm Mr Fab: Tiny Tim used to have these fascinating/pathetic interviews on Howard Stern, where he'd describe in toe-curling detail such subject as his impotency, and reviews of various cleaners he was obsessed with. One of those guys who had to wash his hands all day.,
	8:24pm Kat in Chicago: Yeah I remember him talking about wearing diapers once
	8:24pm MHLee: He's a weird and complicated character. I've read his biography.
	8:24pm Robm: @scott67 when are you going to be on WFMU again?
	8:25pm MHLee: @kat apparently he didn't trust underwear because he didn't think you could get it clean... so the diapers were throw-away underwear
	8:25pm Kat in Chicago: Good question Robm. That Drop-In was fantastic
	8:25pm MHLee: Weird OCD manifestations
	8:25pm Robm: Tinytim was just batshit crazy
	8:26pm MHLee: Song goes quiet here but the track goes on...
	8:27pm Robm: @Kat yes it was, are you ever going to do a drop in, or would your radio station have a fit about it?
	8:27pm MHLee: He also had a huge 78 collection. Archived a ton of stuff. I often use the originals of songs I have him singing to fill out my MWRA shows.
	8:28pm Scott67: Robm, Terre asked me to do another Drop-In Show, to keep as a backup for any DJ dropouts. I must get my shit together & do it. The Schedule is booked out for rest of 2022.
	8:28pm Kat in Chicago: Me? It wouldn't be a problem with WLUW. I have been meaning to propose a Radio Row to Olivia, but I have been lazy
	8:28pm Mr Fab: Robin on the Stern show said she was happy to hear that he died. Not because she disliked him, but because he seemed tortured by all his obsessions/compulsions. A prisoner to them. At last he found peace.
	8:28pm Scott67: Cheers Kat!🍻😎🤙💨🍺🌻
	8:29pm Kat in Chicago: I agree with Robin
	8:30pm Robm: @Kat would love to hear that on Sunday @Mrfab sounds about right with tiny tim
	8:32pm MHLee: I apologize for being terribly tongue-tied. My sylla-ble empahi-sis gets all messed up.
	8:32pm MHLee: One of the three tracks that I'd also play on the otherworld.
	8:33pm spodiodi: any more fantasy or dungeon-synth today MHLee? (that was great)
	8:33pm Kat in Chicago: It's actuallly nice to hear you and not the robot MHLee
	8:34pm spodiodi: ^
	8:35pm MHLee: @Spodiodi, no but I might upload a ton of shows to my mix cloud soon. I have tons recorded. I just can't be bothered to fill out the track lists. I have at least 20 unreleased recordings of my live shows.
	8:35pm StringOFperils: ^^
	8:35pm spodiodi: 👍
	8:35pm Robm: I agree I wish someone would find a nicer voice for the robot
	8:35pm spodiodi: MHLee, nice.
	8:35pm Scott67: I like your style MHLee! It's Radio for Geeks, Freaks & Weirdos remember mate! 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	8:36pm Kat in Chicago: I am bad at updating my Soundcloud arcive because I'm lazy about the tracklists too. I am just lazy about everything except actually picking the tracks out and putting them together
	8:36pm MHLee: This is a haunting album.
	8:37pm Robm: @Scott67 that is part of the charm of this station and the internet streams is hearing strange stuff like this
	8:37pm Scott67: Sound what?? 🌥️🎶
	8:38pm MHLee: I used to keep track of all of them but messed one up and gave up. The Otherworld is my baby. Runs 12-2 am EST. I have a mannerism to the way I speak that works...
	8:39pm Scott67: Robm, & MHLee's Mic Break style mate. I like unassuming, natural DJ's.
	8:39pm MHLee: I love this track.
	8:39pm Robm: @Scott67 ditto
	8:39pm Kat in Chicago: Scott soundcloud.com...
	8:40pm spodiodi: i'm marching aground my living room
	8:40pm StringOFperils: Pagan party
	8:40pm Scott67: I think of Russian Conscripts marching to the slaughter for a madman's ego.
	8:41pm MHLee: There's three early Gae Bolg albums that sound this. Then there's some other stuff and a really really weird album that I think is about mental institutions?
	8:41pm Kat in Chicago: Oh yeah he was threatening total nuclear annihilation for all today. I shouldn't read news on my lunch break
	8:42pm StringOFperils: Let's hope that doesn't materialize.
	8:42pm Scott67: Kat, places like that scare me a bit. I don't do well with choices, let alone infinite ones..
	8:43pm Robm: @Scott67 been listening to a lot of BBC for news about putin
	8:43pm Kat in Chicago: I get that, Scott. I feel that way in the supermarket at times.
	8:43pm Scott67: 🦇🦇🦇🦇
	8:43pm MHLee: I thinks he's more postering. He told his people that everyone is saying they'll nuke him and he's ready to retaliate...
	8:44pm Mr Fab: When the Bauhaus orig came out, I thought he was singing, "I'm dead, I'm dead, I'm dead..." Which I thought was pretty cool.
	8:44pm MHLee: This is a wild supergroup I first heard on the Sheena stream
	8:44pm Robm: Hey guys get BBC sounds, you can get the BBCWS, and they do no bullshit news
	8:45pm Scott67: Same Fab!🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	8:45pm Kat in Chicago: I thought that until REALLY recently Fab
	8:45pm MHLee: The next band I'm playing I'm really surprised was not showing up in the WFMU autofill.
	8:46pm MHLee: Some great albums and songs, one which definitely sounds like horror-country johnny cash
	8:46pm Scott67: BBC is great mate. BBC World Service Radio has been around for decades.
	8:47pm MHLee: A different song called Coffinshaker, worth checking out
	8:47pm Mr Fab: Funny MHLee, I have been recently reviewing an album by The Coffinshakers for tracks to add to the stream
	8:48pm Scott67: On that note, I must go forth to TRASH CULT, to drink & talk shit about stuff & shit. Tune will in there! ☠️🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	8:48pm Robm: @Scott67 when i got a shortwave radio 30 years ago one of the first things i found was the BBC, trust me really gave me a whole new outlook on the news
	8:50pm MHLee: This vaguely reminds me, there was a killer and probably illegal comp called the Devil's Jukebox, Taboo 60s. That comp absolutely was instrumental to my music tastes but got removed from existence. I WOULD LOVE to get it again. All I've found is a track list
	8:51pm MHLee: @Scott See ya Scott. I'll give you a visit if I'm ever in the downunder.
	8:53pm MHLee: This is NOT that Come to the Sabbat
	👻 9:00pm WR: Hi MHLee and Friday Sheena streamers!
	9:00pm MHLee: Vocally Paul is almost a perfect twin for Robyn Hitchcock. The two were on the same label and have played together.
	9:01pm MHLee: Hi WR!
	9:01pm spodiodi: hi, WR!
	9:03pm chresti: Hi MHLee and merry makers!
	9:04pm MHLee: Hi Chresti, we are getting the full communion tonight. I don't know into what but something.
	9:04pm chresti: blessed be!
	9:06pm spodiodi: Material <3 William S. Burroughs <3
	9:06pm chresti: hi spodi!\\//
	9:06pm spodiodi: aloha, chresti!\\//
	9:07pm MHLee: Burroughs is an uncanny creature
	9:07pm chresti: cool avatar spodi!
	9:08pm spodiodi: love Words of Advice
	9:08pm chresti: Give this guy oxygen
	9:08pm spodiodi: thanks, chresti!
	9:09pm Rich in Washington: Ha. I've been thinking about this album a lot lately.
	9:10pm MHLee: I first heard this in the Sopranos somewhere. The voice was instantly recognizable.
	9:10pm Kat in Chicago: It is a Rich-ish selection
	9:10pm Kat in Chicago: And has some clanging sounds
	9:11pm theDerek: PREACH PAPA BURROUGHS!! PREACH!!
	9:11pm spodiodi: i was just thinking about Words of Advice yesterday in the shower
	9:11pm spodiodi: GET IT IN WRITING!
	9:11pm MHLee: Hello the the Derek
	9:15pm spodiodi: Moondog! <3
	9:15pm Kat in Chicago: Yay Moondog
	9:15pm theDerek: Hi MHLee! First time checking out the show..... digging it so far
	9:15pm MHLee: An underrated artist if ever there was one
	9:17pm MHLee: Hi theDerek, I'm actually filling in for Rich in Washington. On this station I normally play an eclectic mix of pre-rock styles (and modern artist in those genres). Elsewhere I run a fantasy themed radioshow.
	9:18pm MHLee: This is a very odd private press release. This is one of the more normal tracks. I have this album with three other albums tagged jazz-rock.
	9:18pm spodiodi: got in a little more marching on that last track :^)
	9:20pm theDerek: Excellent choice by Rich inWA for a fill in. I'll definitely check out your regular slot.
	9:21pm MHLee: We're a merry band who are up for it.
	9:22pm MHLee: (This is still one of the more normal songs on the album)
	9:23pm chresti: I enjoy clanging
	9:23pm MHLee: I like sax
	9:24pm MHLee: Speaking of
	9:28pm Rich in Washington: Dang, MHLee! You're killing it! Really diggin' this set while I cook (something gross and healthy!).
	9:29pm Kat in Chicago: You're ahead of me Rich, i got delivery that only ticked the gross box
	9:30pm MHLee: Thanks Rich! Enjoy your dinner!
	9:35pm chresti: How ya doing, Rich?
	9:36pm Rich in Washington: Hi chresti! Feeling MUCH better! Music helps!
	9:39pm MHLee: From 1924
	9:39pm Rich in Washington: Hey, It's CutUpSound!
	9:39pm Kat in Chicago: yep yer plunderphonic buddy!
	9:40pm MHLee: I need to read the Art of Noise
	9:41pm MHLee: B-side I believe
	9:41pm MHLee: Or companion piece, whatever you want to call it
	9:42pm MHLee: Kinda sounds like a toilet flushing over a classical composition, that's the beauty of it
	9:42pm Kat in Chicago: Haha this is cool
	9:44pm Ike: Meow.
	9:45pm MHLee: From the Quake soundtrack
	9:45pm StringOFperils: Foetus heartbeat?
	9:45pm MHLee: What a good cat
	9:46pm MHLee: @SoP that might be exactly what that is
	9:47pm MHLee: Quake has a genuinely creepy atmosphere. I played it last year... first time since I was like six and got jump scared a few times
	9:48pm Rich in Washington: reminds me having an ultrasound a few days ago.
	9:49pm spodiodi: i have 3 copies of quake 2 <3 stacked up for goodwill on my table in the other room
	9:50pm spodiodi: quake was pretty scary the first time around
	9:50pm MHLee: I loved quake 2 as a child but of the first three quake games that one has aged the worst.
	9:51pm spodiodi: maybe. i was all about deathmatches with friends
	9:51pm MHLee: The dog things in quake 2... and the spider things... scary.
	9:51pm spodiodi: i had a ton of maps and mods
	9:52pm MHLee: Haha, we didn't have internet until I was like 14. We skimmed neighbors wifi for a while
	9:52pm MHLee: Here's a fantasy track
	9:53pm spodiodi: indeed on scary 9spent many an extended lunch break on q2 dm
	9:53pm Rich in Washington: I'm so old I remember dialup.
	9:53pm spodiodi: cool .sounds good
	9:54pm Kat in Chicago: I remember typewriters
	9:54pm Kat in Chicago: and rotary phones
	9:54pm MHLee: We had dial-up until like 2003 or so. But I was like 7.
	9:54pm Rich in Washington: I remember not having internet and mail ordering records without knowing what they sounded like.
	9:55pm MHLee: I remember CRTVs going out.
	9:55pm spodiodi: i remember soffering on 300bps modems on up (and running up BIG long distance bills to japanese BBSs
	9:55pm Rich in Washington: I still have a rotary phone. It's hooked up in my studio but the ringer's off. It works even if there's no electricity.
	9:56pm spodiodi: talk phoney to me, Rich
	9:56pm MHLee: BTW there's a big secondary market for CRTVs in the right audience. The apparently don't have visual lag so pro-gamers prefer them.
	9:57pm MHLee: When I started college E-sports teams were not a thing colleges had. By the time I left you could get full scholarships for it.
	9:58pm spodiodi: i used to drive around with a princess phone (push button though) in my car beause i liked how it looked... my good friend had a payphone he stole in his bedroom
	9:59pm spodiodi: he had it working without coins, of course
	9:59pm MHLee: there's a payphone on the other side of the bridge I walk across every day.
	10:00pm spodiodi: he also had the courage to steam the entire communications chunck out of an undercover/unmarked police car
	10:00pm MHLee: no phone booth though so tough luck for superman
	10:00pm spodiodi: (and stole motorcycles) shame shame
	10:01pm spodiodi: ha
	10:01pm spodiodi: i wonder if he's ever told his kids
	10:02pm MHLee: I first found dungeonsynth probably around 2013, trying to find music to mod into skyrim.
	10:02pm MHLee: That's an interesting confession
	10:03pm spodiodi: the same guy who taught me how to build a phone dialer (to use on payphones and not have to pay) -- came in handy for long distance girlfriends
	10:04pm MHLee: my only advice on that sorta of thing I had to learn from Steal this Book
	10:04pm spodiodi: he also ran all kinds of CC schemes, consorted with hacker collectives from denmark and other places -- flew them over with other ppls credit, etc
	10:04pm spodiodi: he was crazy
	10:06pm MHLee: Sounds wild
	10:07pm spodiodi: mostly in the 80s. ah the good ole days (get away with as much as possible before you can be tried as an adult, i guess)
	10:08pm Rich in Washington: Oh yeah!
	10:08pm StringOFperils: Scared my cat away. Ha ha.
	10:09pm MHLee: I was tempted to play something from Metal, meat, Bone... which is a really good modern Residents release but went with this one instead
	10:09pm MHLee: Sample from the Human Beinz
	10:09pm Rich in Washington: Speaking of sending away for music 'sight' unseen... I kept reading about The Residents and finally sent away for their Buy or Die mail order catalog and randomly chose a few records and it completely fucked me up for normal music forever.
	10:10pm spodiodi: nice
	10:10pm MHLee: I don't even know. I think I got here looking for covers of Telster.
	10:10pm Rich in Washington: They made loops by bending a wire hanger and making it hit against the stylus at a desired place. High tech!
	10:10pm spodiodi: i remember seeing Residents ads/promos in Thrasher before i ever heard em
	10:11pm StringOFperils: I think ESKIMO changed the way I thought about popular music
	10:11pm Rich in Washington: Yeah, they advertised in lots of magazines. I remember an ad in the back of Rolling Stone that finally did it for me. I think I still have some old Buy or Dies in my flat files.
	10:12pm MHLee: My introduction was definitely Third Reich and Roll... then I think I heard the Penn thinh
	10:12pm MHLee: Ralph Records deep dives is always a good way to find stuff
	10:13pm chresti: Good marching music
	10:13pm spodiodi: good thing i haven't put my baton away just yet
	10:13pm spodiodi: marches some more
	10:14pm MHLee: I'd love to see a high school band play this.
	10:14pm spodiodi: if you ever have the chance, see these people en.wikipedia.org...
	10:15pm MHLee: I never figured out what that last minute of this song is doing.
	10:16pm Rich in Washington: We had a similar marching outfit in Portland called the March Fourth Band (I think they originally formed for a protest). They're pretty groovy.
	10:16pm spodiodi: www.youtube.com... lots of stuff out on yt
	10:16pm MHLee: Adding to radar Spod
	10:16pm chresti: spodi, the one time I remember getting spanked was for marching up and down the driveway when I was about 3 or 4
	10:18pm spodiodi: chresti! ha!
	10:19pm spodiodi: i seldom got spanked. my grandfather used his belt though :\|
	10:19pm StringOFperils: Maybe Antonio Russolo's work will see a resurgence now that Italian fascism is back in fashion
	10:21pm Rich in Washington: love this album so much.
	10:21pm chresti: Back in fascision
	10:21pm StringOFperils: *rimshot
	10:22pm Mr Fab: You can thank the NightFlight show for heppin me to the Residents c.1982. They did a mini-doc about em and showed the “Constantinople” video. That’ll do it.
	10:23pm spodiodi: haha chresti good one
	10:23pm MHLee: I couldn't figure out whether Russolo got caught up in the fascist party. I know the Russian futurists mostly avoided that... but Zang tang thum or whatever that song was called... that guy surely did get into it
	10:25pm MHLee: The Futurist Cookbook is also worth seeing just as a curiosity piece. Folks at vice tried to cook from it a few years back... weird food
	10:25pm StringOFperils: Italian Futurism was specifically about speed, dynamism, the replacement of men by machines, and death. Oddly, the art that expressed it was often beautiful
	10:25pm MHLee: www.vice.com...
	10:26pm MHLee: @StringOfPearls Oddly the industrial culture handbook could certainly be read to be about the same stuff... but I don't think most of them celebrated that... unlike the Italians
	10:28pm Rich in Washington: I am literally staring at this album on my wall at the moment.
	10:28pm MHLee: I think industrial... at least good industrial brings awareness of the condition of dehumanization we exist in... the situation one might say.
	10:29pm MHLee: There's a hypnotic quality to the beats on this stuff. I wish rivetheads were more about these days.
	10:34pm MHLee: Strong religious themes in this episode-eh?
	10:36pm StringOFperils: Provocative as it's supposed to be. A product of a time when dialogue descends into violence. It's a suffocated scream.
	10:37pm MHLee: Amen
	10:38pm MHLee: There's a reason I've always liked the second planet of the apes movie...
	👻 10:39pm WR: I hate it when the hippies laugh.
	10:39pm MHLee: This is a rather biting album
	10:40pm MHLee: Mick Farren, I understand was something like an Abby Hoffman for England
	10:42pm MHLee: @WR The thing is... Owsley Stanley definitely hand CIA handlers and was handing out "candy"
	10:43pm Rich in Washington: Yep. He was something else. I think The Deviants really paved the way for Punk, too.
	10:44pm MHLee: I think so too, Rich. The English part of the equation.
	10:45pm MHLee: Have you ever seen the Jeffrey Lewis musical history of punk in NYC? That's an interesting one.
	10:47pm MHLee: Just 3 more tracks!
	10:51pm Rich in Washington: Recentish Laibach is so weird.
	10:51pm MHLee: I love the North Korea albums
	10:52pm Rich in Washington: I watched the doc but I think the last Laibach album I bought was Volk.
	10:52pm MHLee: The most recent album is more a return to some sort of the previous state. A lot of cut up sounds. Proclamation in German.
	10:53pm spodiodi: i'm stingy with the stars i give to pf. this one is nice
	10:53pm MHLee: I love the operetta.
	10:55pm MHLee: Waters has some tracks in his solo career that stand out too. He's got a wit. I particularly like the line in Two Suns in the Sunset (about nuclear holocaust) "looks like the human race is run". That pun takes the (yellow) cake.
	10:57pm Kat in Chicago: Well done MHLee!
	10:57pm spodiodi: nice selections, MHLee! great show
	10:57pm Rich in Washington: Thanks so much, MHLee! Wonderful show!
	10:58pm MHLee: Thanks folks. I've got one more track so I think I'm going.
	👻 10:58pm WR: Ah, seems this fill in run is run as well. Nice program, MHLee, Mr Versatile! Laters all.
	10:58pm StringOFperils: Nice fill-in, MHLee. Thanks!
	10:59pm Rich in Washington: Thanks again for filling in! Much obliged! Nice sign-off, too!
	10:59pm spodiodi: see you in the streams, Cratediggers!
	11:01pm MHLee: Back to blasphemy to end.
	11:02pm StringOFperils: Seems appropriate. Big shit-show R us.
	11:02pm spodiodi: sacralicious
	11:02pm Aitch: Lurked through that, covered lots of bases, well done and thanks for the fill-in
	11:03pm MHLee: Thanks Aitch!
	11:04pm MHLee: Thinking about how funnily this contrasts with my other show today.
	11:04pm MHLee: Thanks everyone once again! Good night!
	11:31pm chresti: Thanks!
