	1/25 11:00am Krys O.: Howdy!
	1/25 11:01am David The Splatter: Howdy!
	1/25 11:03am HyperDose: this rocks! and so does science!
	1/25 11:03am WR: Hi. Not sure what we're hearing now. Doesn't sound like synth. . .
	1/25 11:03am Roger: Howdy! Love this song, goes with Bill Nye theme! ( and Will and the Bushmen's Neil Young tribute)
	1/25 11:06am WR: Nico!
	1/25 11:09am David The Splatter: "Cooking with Nico!"
	1/25 11:11am NotARealDoctor: Hey Krys O. The pharmacy is tuned in!
	1/25 11:13am Krys O.: ↳ NotARealDoctor @11:11 Hey, I think this is the robot. There might have been an issue with scheduled DJ getting a fill-in that just didn't work out. Fingers crossed that the robot doesn't work blue before 11:30.
	1/25 11:13am WR: Careful N A R D, we may be back on Sheena stream random play mode.
	1/25 11:16am NotARealDoctor: ↳ Krys O. @11:13 Ah ha uh oh well maybe I'll head over to EFD today
	1/25 11:18am NotARealDoctor: ↳ NotARealDoctor @11:16 ur that is Michael Shelley, not EFD what day and time is it?
	1/25 11:19am David The Splatter: ↳ NotARealDoctor @11:18 Made me think EFD was filling in for him today or something.
	1/25 11:19am WR: Ha, Saturday, usual time for Michael Shelly unless there is fillin
	1/25 11:20am David The Splatter: I mean, technically, this counts as synth, no?
	1/25 11:20am David The Splatter: onlineradiobox.com...
	1/25 11:21am Roger: ↳ Krys O. @11:13 ha, that ship sailed at 9:15!
	1/25 11:21am WR: ↳ David The Splatter @11:20 even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
	👻 1/25 11:22am Mr Fab: Hi all, since we were promised synth tunes, I just went in and loaded the stream with all manner of Moog-y goodness for you.
	1/25 11:22am WR: ↳ Roger @11:21 True, I heard two of the bluest r&b tunes that have ever singed mine ears.
	1/25 11:23am WR: Mr Fab corrects the course of the stream!
	👻 1/25 11:23am Mr Fab: Phew, just woke up (8am here). haven't had me iced tea or breakfast or nuthin! Glad i was up as early as I was.
	👻 1/25 11:24am Mr Fab: ↳ David The Splatter @11:20 Check this for the playlist, refresh as necessary. Thanks, David!
	1/25 11:26am WR: ↳ Mr Fab @11:23 If you had been up at 6AM your time you would have found the Sheena stream a total wreck. I'm sure you'll hear about it all.
	1/25 11:27am Roger: ↳ WR @11:26 sigh, sadly true
	👻 1/25 11:29am Mr Fab: just finding out now that Roger was working with engineer John for quite a spell to get things going again. So sorry, Roger!
	1/25 11:32am WR: I will I had a recording of it. Dysfunctional streaming at its finest.
	1/25 11:33am WR: I wish...
	1/25 11:33am David The Splatter: ↳ Mr Fab @11:24 Thank YOU! I wouldn't have known about the playlist if you hadn't posted it a while back.
	👻 1/25 11:35am Mr Fab: Anyway, lots of Jean-jaques Perrey and/or Gershon Kingsley, as well as The Moog Cookbook, Later, some Moog Machine, Dick Hyman, and Thelonious Moog
	1/25 11:36am Roger: ↳ Mr Fab @11:35 No Moog Dog? (jk, just made that up)
	1/25 11:37am David The Splatter: The all-new WFMU synth stream "Woof Moog". (also made that up)
	1/25 11:45am WR: ↳ Mr Fab @11:29 If you scroll back on the radio box playlist you can see some of the stream plays that were NSFW that came through while John was rebooting / resetting t whatever. Short version, Blowfly at his wildest on DDR.
	👻 1/25 11:46am Mr Fab: ↳ David The Splatter @11:37 Ha, I can see "Woof-Moog" swag as a fundraising Premium. A dog talking to a robot.
	1/25 11:53am David The Splatter: ↳ Mr Fab @11:46 I might have to make that my profile picture this weekend.
	1/25 12:13pm David The Splatter: I've got to run. I'll see you all again later.
	1/25 1:01pm WR: Thsnk you Mr Fab
	👻 10:49am Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	👻 11:01am Austin Rich: I might drop the ball occasionally, but EVENTUALLY, I come through...
	👻 11:02am Mr Fab: Yes! Good Moog-ing Austin, and everyone else
	11:03am Webhamster Henry: Hi Austin! There used to be a store in NYC called Star Magic that just played "Music from the Hearts of Space" style synth music while you checked out their New Age-y merchandise.
	11:03am asheville jon: lurking 😎
	👻 11:04am Austin Rich: This is a collection of synth albums that I've been wanting to listen to, and this is the perfect time to do so.
	👻 11:04am Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @11:03 I would absolutely visit that store! How cool.
	👻 11:05am Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @11:02 "Moog-stin Rich In The Morning, With A Monthly Dose of Electronic Earworms..."
	👻 11:05am Austin Rich: ↳ asheville jon @11:03 Hopefully this is the perfect lurking Soundtrack!
	11:07am WR: Talk about Double Dip. Last week summer camp playlist comments and this week summer camp comments. A time and space warp experience.
	👻 11:08am Austin Rich: ↳ WR @11:07 Albums like this bridge then and now, in a very seamless way.
	11:08am David The Splatter: Good morning, all. WR, I was just about to ask if we went backwards in time.
	👻 11:09am Austin Rich: ↳ David The Splatter @11:08 David The Splatter! I just watched Tenet, so consider this show inverted, as we journey back in time...
	11:09am asheville jon: lurkable indeed!
	11:11am David The Splatter: ↳ Austin Rich @11:09 This is the perfect music for a time-travel adventure!
	11:12am Krys O.: Howdy! Glad to be tuned in, albeit tardy.
	👻 11:13am Austin Rich: Some of these sounds would certainly qualify as "Music From The Hearts of Space," style New Age Music, and certainly when I was growing up, albums like this were mocked, or considered subpar, compared to other electronic music. I recall New Age music being the butt of any number of jokes. MST3K has a skit mocking how easy it is to make New Age Music, and that it has no substance otherwise. I think, particularly in the last 10 or so years, the reputation of music like this has been rehabilitated. People now slot this in with other Electronic Music easily, and many of these kinds of artists have endured where 90's electronic dance music hasn't fared as well. Having spent more time over the years playing and listening to experimental music, I see how much closer New Age is to that world, and how the other kinds of electronic music out there can take on a number of forms.
	👻 11:13am Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @11:12 Yay! Krys O is here. Now the real fun can begin.
	👻 11:14am Austin Rich: ↳ David The Splatter @11:11 I have been thinking of working on a "Time Travel" story for Mid-Valley Mutations. I was thinking I could find clips from old radio shows and insert myself into them. Make it pretty silly.
	11:16am David The Splatter: ↳ Austin Rich @11:14 Go for it! So long at the Time Travel Treaty of 2686 is not violated. :D
	11:16am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @11:13 My iOS apps SrutiBox and especially Droneo are so Hearts of Spacy sometimes.
	👻 11:17am Austin Rich: ↳ David The Splatter @11:16 I make no promises. If there are different me's from other timelines, they might not be rule-followers. But i will try.
	👻 11:18am Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @11:16 Yeah, I think a lot of modern tech aesthetics - coupled with a renewed interest in drones and that kind of music - has helped too.
	👻 11:24am Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @11:14 That’s cool!
	11:26am Krys O.: I've mentioned it before, but WFMU had a program called Synthetic Pleasure hosted by Richard Ginsburg in the 70s/80s. He's the guy who had Yanni come down to the studio in East Orange to play live. Ironically, Pat Duncan who hosted the wildly popular punk/hardcore show that had live bands that would become legendary had a synth theme song by Tangerine Dream.
	11:30am Krys O.: Pat Duncan's theme song was Stratosphear by Tangerine Dream.
	11:31am David The Splatter: ↳ Krys O. @11:26 Not the program, but maybe a start? (I haven't had a chance to listen to the mp3s.) blog.wfmu.org...
	11:33am Krys O.: ↳ David The Splatter @11:31 Right! The good ole WoofMoo blog. Here's a blog post about Yanni and Synthetic Pleasure. blog.wfmu.org...
	👻 11:36am Mr Fab: People used to call him “Yawn-ee.”
	11:36am Krys O.: Gosh, I've gone down a rabbit hole. Here's a YouTube playlist inspired by Synthetic Pleasure (for post-show exploration). www.youtube.com...
	11:37am Krys O.: About a dozen years ago, I saw that Rich Ginsburg aka Ricky Ginsburg had a new career as a BBQ chef.
	👻 11:37am Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @11:36 Indeed. Part of that New Age bad rep back in the day.
	👻 11:37am Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @11:36 Oooooo. Yeah, I'll want to look at that. Sorry... Looks like my stream re-set for a second. Sorry everyone!
	👻 11:38am Mr Fab: Although Brian Eno said he liked the show “hearts of space,“ he also had a problem with a lot of iNew Age because “there is no evil in it.“
	11:38am Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @11:37 Tis all right now.
	11:39am Krys O.: ↳ Krys O. @11:37 More Ginsburg linkage for after-show. www.bewilderingstories.com...
	👻 11:39am Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @11:38 I do agree that there is a lot of bad New Age. I think you need to dig around to find the gold. But that's true in a lot of genres. There's a lot of awful punk, in spite of me loving it, mostly.
	11:40am David The Splatter: ↳ Krys O. @11:33 Thank you! (saved for later viewing)
	👻 11:41am Austin Rich: As you'll notice, I had to leave myself "time notes," so I would have an idea of when one song ends and another begins. While I think it's largely clear from listening, I wanted to make sure I get the transitions right for the future.
	11:51am David The Splatter: Technical difficulties and/or a rupture in the space-time continuum.
	👻 11:53am Austin Rich: This is how you know it's live.
	11:58am David The Splatter: ↳ Austin Rich @11:53 You do far better than I could imagine to do. I'd probably go nuts the first glitch I had.
	12:06pm AMYGDALA: ↳ Austin Rich @11:41 Great idea to add the song duration as a marker and a reminder, Austin! I see that you're also cleaning up that extra song information as go you, which is brilliant (and diligent to boot). Otherwise the extra info. becomes part of the searchable song title, when using in the super-sweet FMU archive search tool. The KenzoDB people will be all sorts of pleased, as they're big fans of precision! [I help out with the playlists for one of the WFMU programs]. - Really nice surprise to hear you doing another show in addition to your great Dimestore and MVM programs. Loving the synth sounds!
	👻 12:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ AMYGDALA @12:06 Lovely to see you in the Digital Salon, Amygdala! I'll be helping out on Summer Camp here and there, when I can fit it into my schedule. I had to miss my last shift for boring reasons. Hopefully that won't be the case anymore!
	12:11pm Krys O.: Lunch time here. Having some Amy's mushroom soup, not homemade, but close enough when I add cayenne.
	👻 12:14pm Austin Rich: It is totally soup weather for us, too. I did ask Marla if we could make some, so maybe this will be the weekend!
	👻 12:15pm Austin Rich: I should end on time, in spite of my tech issues. Part of my "adjusting" at the top of the hour was to make sure my playlist wouldn't go over. We should be on track, now.
	12:16pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @12:14 I used to love when my mom added oatmeal or barley to soups she made as a thickener. And fresh herbs too, YUM!
	12:16pm David The Splatter: ↳ Krys O. @12:11 Sounds delicious. I just finished off some leftover chicken tenders from last night's dinner.
	12:16pm AMYGDALA: Cool Austin - thanks! Looking forward to hearing more, as today is my first-ever visit to Summer Camp. Bummed that I have to bail before the end, but I'll catch up via the archives. Wishing you, and everyone listening, a fine day and an equally fine weekend!
	12:17pm Krys O.: ↳ AMYGDALA @12:16 Thanks! Take care!
	12:18pm AMYGDALA: ↳ AMYGDALA @12:16 * oops, forgot the thread marker... @Austin Rich (12:08)
	12:19pm AMYGDALA: ↳ Krys O. @12:17 Thank you Krys O., and you as well!
	👻 12:21pm Austin Rich: Damn, another stream interruption! I'm having terrible luck this morning.
	12:24pm David The Splatter: I have to run, but I clickey-starred the show so I can listen to it later tonight. Thanks, Austin, and don't let the glitches get you down.
	👻 12:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ David The Splatter @12:24 Thanks David. I appreciate that.
	12:33pm Webhamster Henry: Music From the Hearts of Space always ended with Stephen Hill telling you how to send a self-addressed stamped envelope to get the playlist.
	12:34pm Krys O.: My cats are really digging this show.
	👻 12:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @12:33 They must have been xeroxed copies. Do you think they were typed?
	👻 12:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @12:34 That's the only audience that really matters. "Sheena's Jungle Room: Your Cat's Will Love It!"
	12:37pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @12:34 I imagine they were made on a ditto machine, and you'd get a whiff of the dupe fluid when you opened the envelope.
	👻 12:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @12:37 That's worth it for the cost of the stamp, alone!
	12:44pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "A Wheel of Stars (20:25)" by "John Palmer" Powertrain Transcendant 2000: www.vintagesynth.com...
	👻 12:45pm Austin Rich: I was thinking about how expensive posting has become. Certainly, I'm not alone in being frustrated by this, but I do recall how costly I thought it was to ship things in the 90's, and how bonkers that price is now. The days of self-addressed stamped envelopes seem like a hallmark of another era.
	👻 12:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @12:44 I would love to get one of those. The look like a lot of fun.
	👻 12:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @12:44 There is something wonderfully nerdy about this era of electronic music, too. The artists love to tell you about the gear they use. I think most Tomita records have a rundown of what he recorded each album with.
	12:47pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @12:45 They actually look pretty limited. I had a pair (!) of CAT SRM IIs that I gave to my brother.
	👻 12:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @12:47 Sometimes I like the limitation. I just have a controller right now, that interacts with my computer. Most of the action is on the software side. I wouldn't mind getting back to something with knobs.
	12:49pm DJ Babs: Been enjoying the sounds this morning!!!!
	12:49pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @12:48 This is what I'm up to these days: www.youtube.com...
	👻 12:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ DJ Babs @12:49 Ahhh, thanks Babs! It's always good to cross your path.
	👻 12:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @12:49 Woah! That looks cool. Will need to dig in when I have more time.
	12:51pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @12:50 There is also this: www.youtube.com...
	12:52pm WR: Thank you for delivering the synth sounds this day, Austin.
	👻 12:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @12:52 No sweat, WR. I"m glad I could make up for a dumb absence last time.
	12:58pm Webhamster Henry: I made this for the WFMU "Mindfulness for Jerkoffs" project: jhhl.net...
	12:58pm Krys O.: Thanks, Austin!
	1:01pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks! We've made a successful landing!

	👻 11:13am Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @11:12 Yay! Krys O is here. Now the real fun can begin.
	👻 11:14am Austin Rich: ↳ David The Splatter @11:11 I have been thinking of working on a "Time Travel" story for Mid-Valley Mutations. I was thinking I could find clips from old radio shows and insert myself into them. Make it pretty silly.
	11:16am David The Splatter: ↳ Austin Rich @11:14 Go for it! So long at the Time Travel Treaty of 2686 is not violated. :D
	11:16am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @11:13 My iOS apps SrutiBox and especially Droneo are so Hearts of Spacy sometimes.
	👻 11:17am Austin Rich: ↳ David The Splatter @11:16 I make no promises. If there are different me's from other timelines, they might not be rule-followers. But i will try.
	👻 11:18am Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @11:16 Yeah, I think a lot of modern tech aesthetics - coupled with a renewed interest in drones and that kind of music - has helped too.
	👻 11:24am Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @11:14 That’s cool!
	11:26am Krys O.: I've mentioned it before, but WFMU had a program called Synthetic Pleasure hosted by Richard Ginsburg in the 70s/80s. He's the guy who had Yanni come down to the studio in East Orange to play live. Ironically, Pat Duncan who hosted the wildly popular punk/hardcore show that had live bands that would become legendary had a synth theme song by Tangerine Dream.
	11:30am Krys O.: Pat Duncan's theme song was Stratosphear by Tangerine Dream.
	11:31am David The Splatter: ↳ Krys O. @11:26 Not the program, but maybe a start? (I haven't had a chance to listen to the mp3s.) blog.wfmu.org...
	11:33am Krys O.: ↳ David The Splatter @11:31 Right! The good ole WoofMoo blog. Here's a blog post about Yanni and Synthetic Pleasure. blog.wfmu.org...
	👻 11:36am Mr Fab: People used to call him “Yawn-ee.”
	11:36am Krys O.: Gosh, I've gone down a rabbit hole. Here's a YouTube playlist inspired by Synthetic Pleasure (for post-show exploration). www.youtube.com...
	11:37am Krys O.: About a dozen years ago, I saw that Rich Ginsburg aka Ricky Ginsburg had a new career as a BBQ chef.
	👻 11:37am Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @11:36 Indeed. Part of that New Age bad rep back in the day.
	👻 11:37am Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @11:36 Oooooo. Yeah, I'll want to look at that. Sorry... Looks like my stream re-set for a second. Sorry everyone!
	👻 11:38am Mr Fab: Although Brian Eno said he liked the show “hearts of space,“ he also had a problem with a lot of iNew Age because “there is no evil in it.“
	11:38am Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @11:37 Tis all right now.
	11:39am Krys O.: ↳ Krys O. @11:37 More Ginsburg linkage for after-show. www.bewilderingstories.com...
	👻 11:39am Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @11:38 I do agree that there is a lot of bad New Age. I think you need to dig around to find the gold. But that's true in a lot of genres. There's a lot of awful punk, in spite of me loving it, mostly.
	11:40am David The Splatter: ↳ Krys O. @11:33 Thank you! (saved for later viewing)
	👻 11:41am Austin Rich: As you'll notice, I had to leave myself "time notes," so I would have an idea of when one song ends and another begins. While I think it's largely clear from listening, I wanted to make sure I get the transitions right for the future.
	11:51am David The Splatter: Technical difficulties and/or a rupture in the space-time continuum.
	👻 11:53am Austin Rich: This is how you know it's live.
	11:58am David The Splatter: ↳ Austin Rich @11:53 You do far better than I could imagine to do. I'd probably go nuts the first glitch I had.
	12:06pm AMYGDALA: ↳ Austin Rich @11:41 Great idea to add the song duration as a marker and a reminder, Austin! I see that you're also cleaning up that extra song information as go you, which is brilliant (and diligent to boot). Otherwise the extra info. becomes part of the searchable song title, when using in the super-sweet FMU archive search tool. The KenzoDB people will be all sorts of pleased, as they're big fans of precision! [I help out with the playlists for one of the WFMU programs]. - Really nice surprise to hear you doing another show in addition to your great Dimestore and MVM programs. Loving the synth sounds!
	👻 12:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ AMYGDALA @12:06 Lovely to see you in the Digital Salon, Amygdala! I'll be helping out on Summer Camp here and there, when I can fit it into my schedule. I had to miss my last shift for boring reasons. Hopefully that won't be the case anymore!
	12:11pm Krys O.: Lunch time here. Having some Amy's mushroom soup, not homemade, but close enough when I add cayenne.
	👻 12:14pm Austin Rich: It is totally soup weather for us, too. I did ask Marla if we could make some, so maybe this will be the weekend!
	👻 12:15pm Austin Rich: I should end on time, in spite of my tech issues. Part of my "adjusting" at the top of the hour was to make sure my playlist wouldn't go over. We should be on track, now.
	12:16pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @12:14 I used to love when my mom added oatmeal or barley to soups she made as a thickener. And fresh herbs too, YUM!
	12:16pm David The Splatter: ↳ Krys O. @12:11 Sounds delicious. I just finished off some leftover chicken tenders from last night's dinner.
	12:16pm AMYGDALA: Cool Austin - thanks! Looking forward to hearing more, as today is my first-ever visit to Summer Camp. Bummed that I have to bail before the end, but I'll catch up via the archives. Wishing you, and everyone listening, a fine day and an equally fine weekend!
	12:17pm Krys O.: ↳ AMYGDALA @12:16 Thanks! Take care!
	12:18pm AMYGDALA: ↳ AMYGDALA @12:16 * oops, forgot the thread marker... @Austin Rich (12:08)
	12:19pm AMYGDALA: ↳ Krys O. @12:17 Thank you Krys O., and you as well!
	👻 12:21pm Austin Rich: Damn, another stream interruption! I'm having terrible luck this morning.
	12:24pm David The Splatter: I have to run, but I clickey-starred the show so I can listen to it later tonight. Thanks, Austin, and don't let the glitches get you down.
	👻 12:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ David The Splatter @12:24 Thanks David. I appreciate that.
	12:33pm Webhamster Henry: Music From the Hearts of Space always ended with Stephen Hill telling you how to send a self-addressed stamped envelope to get the playlist.
	12:34pm Krys O.: My cats are really digging this show.
	👻 12:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @12:33 They must have been xeroxed copies. Do you think they were typed?
	👻 12:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @12:34 That's the only audience that really matters. "Sheena's Jungle Room: Your Cat's Will Love It!"
	12:37pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @12:34 I imagine they were made on a ditto machine, and you'd get a whiff of the dupe fluid when you opened the envelope.
	👻 12:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @12:37 That's worth it for the cost of the stamp, alone!
	12:44pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: "A Wheel of Stars (20:25)" by "John Palmer" Powertrain Transcendant 2000: www.vintagesynth.com...
	👻 12:45pm Austin Rich: I was thinking about how expensive posting has become. Certainly, I'm not alone in being frustrated by this, but I do recall how costly I thought it was to ship things in the 90's, and how bonkers that price is now. The days of self-addressed stamped envelopes seem like a hallmark of another era.
	👻 12:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @12:44 I would love to get one of those. The look like a lot of fun.
	👻 12:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @12:44 There is something wonderfully nerdy about this era of electronic music, too. The artists love to tell you about the gear they use. I think most Tomita records have a rundown of what he recorded each album with.
	12:47pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @12:45 They actually look pretty limited. I had a pair (!) of CAT SRM IIs that I gave to my brother.
	👻 12:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @12:47 Sometimes I like the limitation. I just have a controller right now, that interacts with my computer. Most of the action is on the software side. I wouldn't mind getting back to something with knobs.
	12:49pm DJ Babs: Been enjoying the sounds this morning!!!!
	12:49pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @12:48 This is what I'm up to these days: www.youtube.com...
	👻 12:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ DJ Babs @12:49 Ahhh, thanks Babs! It's always good to cross your path.
	👻 12:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @12:49 Woah! That looks cool. Will need to dig in when I have more time.
	12:51pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @12:50 There is also this: www.youtube.com...
	12:52pm WR: Thank you for delivering the synth sounds this day, Austin.
	👻 12:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @12:52 No sweat, WR. I"m glad I could make up for a dumb absence last time.
	12:58pm Webhamster Henry: I made this for the WFMU "Mindfulness for Jerkoffs" project: jhhl.net...
	12:58pm Krys O.: Thanks, Austin!
	1:01pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks! We've made a successful landing!
