	♥ 12:12am Dr. Beam: ↳ @12:10 Oh, good. We can look forward to 3 hours of various versions of ave maria. yay.
	♥ 12:15am cbunny: Hey Abbie! I was so close to going solo to see Big Time at the midnite showing at Vista Theater a couple weeks ago. I didn't make it.... Lets go Tom Waits. "WHAT DAY IS IT?" ASKED PoOH. "IT's TODAY," SQUEAKED PIGLET. "You KNOW WHAT THE FUcK I MEAN" SAID PooH.
	♥ 12:16am Bloom: Ayy good morning Abbie
	♥ 12:17am mariano: ↳ Song: "Borealis Dancing" by "Jamie Branch" It's Tom Waits's crazy uncle!
	♥ 12:21am chresti: ↳ Song: "I'll Take New York" by "Tom Waits" Was reminding me of Al Jolson
	♥ 12:22am coelacanth∅: Tom Waits' crazy uncle Uncle Tom Waits!
	12:22am cbunny: was reminding me of david johansen
	♥ 12:25am coelacanth∅: ↳ ButtWeenies @12:12 no it's okay... i've got a special drink prepared for him.
	12:25am Quaint Kumquat: Uncle Tom Wiggly
	♥ 12:31am coelacanth∅: ↳ Song: "Woke Up Laughing" by "Robert Palmer" Great song! Excellent album. rest in peace, Robert Palmer.
	12:35am ButtWeenies: What is this the spouse in the kitchen at 7am song
	12:36am devlawn: ha, it did sound good from down the hallway.
	12:39am devlawn: I missed the Waits, I tuned in late. :(
	12:40am Quaint Kumquat: i don’t wear afghan whigs.
	12:41am devlawn: I do like the sound of someone else emptying the dishwasher.
	12:52am cbunny: i run the dishwasher just bc dishes don’t matter
	12:53am Erik in VT: … in what i imagine is an honor, was listening this week to several 12”mixes of vintage early 80s Heaven 17 songs. Besides the obviously great Fascist Groove Thang (who knew there was a live soul version), “Are Everything”, “Let Me Go” & “Height of the Fighting (Hey La Hu)” etc…it provided some glee😃. The 12”mixes of 80s ABC & Flocked Seagulls can’t be far behind. Spandau Ballet 🩰 anybody?, maybe Tears for Fears.
	12:55am Persimmon: ↳ Song: "Ayako" by "Gui.tar" I love this band so much. Thanks Zoe B for introducing me.
	1:02am spodiodi: Greetings Abbie from Mars and all First hour sounded great
	1:08am cbunny: it tastes so right
	♥ 1:09am coelacanth∅: ↳ Erik in VT @12:53 i generally can't stand synth-based 80s pop; but there are shining exceptions. i Love that heaven 17 album, and the flock of seagulls' first album and ep. i have a 12" of height of the fighting with a rad percussion-heavy "dub" version. - and tears for fears were a notch above their contemporaries, in my opinion. ...and don't forget yaz!
	♥ 1:09am coelacanth∅: ↳ spodiodi @1:02 aloha spodiodi
	1:11am Erik in VT: ↳ coelacanth∅ @12:31 Despite having musical friend & artist cousin appreciating Robert Palmer, I somehow avoided engaging with his career. i now hear the error of my ways. That track was alotta fun & would like to hear that 1980 album. By the time “addicted to love” rolled out - I wasn’t gonna persue. Other fave albums?
	1:12am cbunny: turkish leather prime mover
	♥ 1:15am coelacanth∅ 2¢: ↳ Erik in VT @1:11 yeah addicted to love was schlocky at best! -and even his earlier albums can be a bit lack-lustre at times but there are gems mixed in. "clues" is all good, in my opinion, and often Brilliant.
	♥ 1:18am mariano: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:09 "I Ran" is a stone-cold jam. Very tight.
	♥ 1:19am coelacanth∅: oh...other favorite albums? - it's been a long time! i have a few, and there's another i like almost as much as clues; but i get mixed up which is which. sorry!
	1:19am Erik in VT: ↳ Song: "I'll Take New York" by "Tom Waits" ‘twas obsessed with ‘franks wild years’ album. Maybe the most fun to revisit within his 80s trilogy. Such a unique album. Lucky enough to have attended a Beacon Theatre show of Tom featuring that album & ‘trilogy’. Great visuals & vibe to that period.
	♥ 1:22am coelacanth∅: ↳ mariano @1:18 it really is! - also, like devo, sometimes great lyrics are hidden behind cheesy, silly musical arrangements.
	♥ 1:22am mariano: Cab Calloway was the MAN. Wanna see some smoooth dance moves? Guy practically invents break dancing in this clip: www.youtube.com...
	1:23am Matthew: The Fixx had two good songs. I listened to a little bit of Thompson Twins, but didn't really get into New Wave much. I was too busy listening to Swans, or discovering ReRecords.
	1:26am Matthew: This is my favorite Cab Callaway video.: https://youtu.be/UXInk1PCsc8?si=DCTgwBqFWSMSmRTL
	1:26am Erik in VT: ↳ coelacanth∅ 2¢ @1:15 Ok - i will start with “Clues”! 1980 was that weird transitional period before production/studios had given up organic sounding analog & just prior to dabbling/launching into synthetic electronics everything. I tried it all - voracious appetite as a youth.
	♥ 1:26am coelacanth∅: ↳ mariano @1:22 also easy to see the origin of yet another of Michael Jackson's "signature moves"!
	♥ 1:28am coelacanth∅: ↳ Matthew @1:23 i can relate. i even dismissed wipers at the time, as too pop! (of course i have grown a bit since then!)
	1:31am Matthew: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:28 Krautrock supplied the electronics I really wanted to hear.
	♥ 1:32am Feldy: digging the tunes, Abbie
	♥ 1:34am mariano: ↳ Matthew @1:26 Oh yeah, "St James Infirmary," another song that like "House of the Rising Sun" is very associated with New Orleans, but which as I found, originated somewhere else entirely. I assumed "SJI" was a NOLA song because traditionally hospitals here were called infirmaries (I was born at Touro Infirmary). Turns out it's an old British ballad about a soldier dying of syphilis of all things.
	1:34am Matthew: ↳ mariano @1:34 Interesting!
	1:48am ANAGRAM MAN: ABBIE FROM MARS = MOM FEARS RABBI
	1:49am Erik in VT: @coel,mariano,matthew: re those 80s 12”mixes of songs that were ok already, yet the dub mix B-sides, etc were often better than anything. Love that Heaven 17 dub. At that time, I was blown away by the glorious mixes & sounds on the 12” vinyls from YELLO (especially 3rd album vintage: ’gotta say yes to another excess’ 1983). When audio sampling member Carlos Perón was in peak form & before he departed. Imo, Perón’s 1st solo album (‘Impersonator’ 1981) is still special & worthwhile sounding! Ps: I too jumped outta new wave & into all things ‘krautrock’ and was obsessed with ‘recommended records’ - even corresponded with Chris Cutler a few times. What a cornucopia of riches that caché of ReRecords was & still is‼️
	♥ 1:51am spodiodi: ↳ coelacanth∅ @1:09 How’s it going?
	1:53am cbunny: is we gonna hear another tom waits song or what?
	1:53am Matthew: ↳ Erik in VT @1:49 Yes, I appreciated Chris Cutler's personal touch when getting records through the mail-order. I'd like to hear more ReRecords on WoofMoo.
	1:54am eric the hat: Mornig Abbie, folks…
	1:55am eric the hat: Oh no! Guys, we’re not supposed to acknowledge the weird question mark troll!!!
	1:55am eric the hat: Forgive me…just looking back on what’s been going on here.
	1:59am Erik in VT: ↳ Matthew @1:53 WoofMoo played quite a bit of the ReRec related & R.I.O.(rock in opposition), crammed discs, etc thru 80s-90s. definitely try Tony Coulter’s show - he still is an enthusiastic programmer of such material. As are a few other DJs!
	1:59am red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: greetings abbie from mars and martians this is freaking so cool
	♥ 2:01am Ken From Hyde Park: Rats, missed some good stuff already! But here now in case any Bug Bus Piano comes up!
	2:03am Matthew: ↳ Erik in VT @1:59 Favourite ReR album?
	♥ 2:04am DJ Bonce: Incredible
	2:07am devlawn: ↳ Song: "A White Horse is Not a Horse" by "Rose Tang & Pat... I never thought I'd see a day that I would hear a song influenced by Patti Smith, The Office (USA), and Buddhist Destruction music.
	♥ 2:08am cbunny: ↳ ANAGRAM MAN @1:48 MANANA GRAMMA
	2:09am Erik in VT: ↳ Song: "A White Horse is Not a Horse" by "Rose Tang & Pat... RICOLA !!! … RE-COLA !!!
	♥ 2:09am cbunny: ↳ Song: "A White Horse is Not a Horse" by "Rose Tang & Pat... BANG BANG i got stuck on all caps
	2:10am Eric the Hat: ↳ DJ Bonce @2:04 The Bonsulator
	♥ 2:12am cbunny: ↳ Eric the Hat @2:10 currently, bonscilating
	2:13am red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: The Bonce Cycle
	♥ 2:14am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ DJ Bonce @2:04 Whatcha got planned for Radio Row later?
	2:16am Eric the Hat: ↳ Song: "Please" by "Hey-O-Hansen" Was trying to remember which album I got from Pingipung. Had to look it up to remover it was Cole Pulice’s Gloam, which I had already on tape but was thrilled to see reissued on wax. Excellent album.
	2:20am red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: idk if its my speakers but this track feels wet!! slorp
	2:21am devlawn: ↳ red_door_what_for in ypsilanti @2:20 Sounds pretty good on mine. but I do need new ones.
	2:23am red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: ↳ devlawn @2:21 indeed; i enjoy the textures whether incidental or on purpose
	2:24am GorillaFella: ↳ red_door_what_for in ypsilanti @2:23 Just soaking it all in 🚰
	♥ 2:28am coelacanth∅: ↳ Erik in VT @1:49 something i'd heard made me buy a yello album at the time ("stella") but then i rarely listened to it. never heard the extended mixes. (well maybe at the clubs) but also i had only a casual interest in krautrock. i don't think i ever heard can until the 1990s. it might've changed the game plan if i'd heard it a decade or 2 earlier. ...but i took a whole other course through those times and those genres. "new wave" was always a precarious relationship with me. "punk" too i guess. i was most passionate about some punk, but was particular. (not likely interesting to anyone)
	♥ 2:29am coelacanth∅: (sorry...ancient conversation! not watching the boards)
	♥ 2:29am cbunny: upside down
	2:29am Erik in VT: @matthew(2:03am): oh goodness me!, don’t get me started!… The Homosexuals collection blew my mind on its arrival, so did their issue of the very hard to find at the time Japanese only WHA HA HA albums! ZNR, ART BEARS (esp the 3rd!), those mind expanding ReRec Quarterly Samplers with the custom silk-screened covers & extensive booklets!, all Faust reissues (‘Tapes’ was my fave), Peter Biegvad albums, Slapp Happy: ‘Acnalbasac Noom’ issue, CASSIBER, etc etc … got my copy of crazy Yugoslavian band: Begnagrad from Cutler. R.I.O: anything by Samla Mammas Manna, Etron Fou Leloublanc, Stormy Six, Art Zoyd, Univers Zero, etc. We could be here all night. I procured that cool silk screened mega box set of their 7”singles. Everything I could get my hands on & mind wrapped around. What about your faves?
	2:32am devlawn: I've already had my taco, I've cleaned the kitchen as much at I can.
	2:33am devlawn: Pratt solid name. I like the painter named with that lastname, Mary.
	2:36am Matthew: ↳ Erik in VT @2:29 I had the 16 Dance Party Smash Hits box as well, & all of the Quarterlies. Some of those looked very cool under my blacklight. 1313 & Crawling Wind & Ceux du dehors by Univers Zero, Cassiber, Henry Cow Concerts, Art Zoyd, Magma live, Fat, Morphogenesis, etc. etc...
	2:36am red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: luv this one <3
	2:36am devlawn: ↳ Song: "The Last Year" by "Jessica Pratt" I always love hearing fingers on the fret board.
	♥ 2:38am cbunny: ↳ devlawn @2:32 taco
	2:41am Eric the Hat: ↳ devlawn @2:33 Very cool work. Crazy realistic.
	♥ 2:43am cbunny: ↳ Song: "Yok Haddi Yok Hesabı (No Limit No Calculation)" b... what a beat! beat! beat! straight from the gutter
	2:45am k_ralske: ↳ Song: "Yok Haddi Yok Hesabı (No Limit No Calculation)" b... nice
	♥ 2:45am cbunny: or, if you will allow it, straight from the glitter
	2:51am Erik in VT: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:28 my screen froze (too many words?) haha. Well, I’m interested. Re Yello’s “Stella” (thier 4th) just after Perón left. Imo, still great (last of the original vibe) kinda changed after that one. Their 1st 4 are their best material. Have several others that are worthwhile (but listening to/streaming their mega mixes via interwebs is where it’s at today). Yea, circa 1982? Hearing CAN (& finding 5 of their best albums all in mint condition one day) was a revelation. I was 16? & it changed my view of post punk cynicism towards jam bands & utilizing the studio as an instrument. What a way to glean gems from extended jam sessions. I tried to collect all material related to CAN. the Holger Czukay albums are still faves to this day. I was definitely into all things punk & esp DIY post punk small pressings etc. (esp European stuff). The extended family tree of Jim Welton etc was a huge cornucopia of delights. The Just Measurers, & L’Voag, Milk from Cheltenham, Amos & Sara, Lowest Note Organ, etc etc …
	2:54am Erik in VT: ↳ Matthew @2:36 I forget - where are you from ?
	♥ 2:58am coelacanth∅: ↳ Erik in VT @2:51 i'd like to get into it sometime soon, but i gots to sleep. after a long day, a lot of driving and carrying stuff and on only ~3 hour's sleep - i don't know why in hell i'm still awake! ...but i will look for some yello remixes online, for a start.
	2:58am Eric the Hat: ↳ Song: "[many tracks throughout the show lol]" by "Falter... Great name, Falter.
	2:59am Eric the Hat: Thanks Abbie. Have a wonderful week!
	2:59am devlawn: Mona cool combo!
	2:59am cbunny: omg good nite!
	♥ 3:00am spodiodi: Great show, thanks , Abbie!
	♥ 3:01am coelacanth∅: ↳ eric the hat @1:55 that troll says only one thing. nothing will change it, and it won't ever change anything. it just, pathetically, feels powerful in foolishly thinking it's upsetting people.
	♥ 3:01am coelacanth∅: Thanks Abbie 'night

	1:53am Matthew: ↳ Erik in VT @1:49 Yes, I appreciated Chris Cutler's personal touch when getting records through the mail-order. I'd like to hear more ReRecords on WoofMoo.
	1:54am eric the hat: Mornig Abbie, folks…
	1:55am eric the hat: Oh no! Guys, we’re not supposed to acknowledge the weird question mark troll!!!
	1:55am eric the hat: Forgive me…just looking back on what’s been going on here.
	1:59am Erik in VT: ↳ Matthew @1:53 WoofMoo played quite a bit of the ReRec related & R.I.O.(rock in opposition), crammed discs, etc thru 80s-90s. definitely try Tony Coulter’s show - he still is an enthusiastic programmer of such material. As are a few other DJs!
	1:59am red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: greetings abbie from mars and martians this is freaking so cool
	♥ 2:01am Ken From Hyde Park: Rats, missed some good stuff already! But here now in case any Bug Bus Piano comes up!
	2:03am Matthew: ↳ Erik in VT @1:59 Favourite ReR album?
	♥ 2:04am DJ Bonce: Incredible
	2:07am devlawn: ↳ Song: "A White Horse is Not a Horse" by "Rose Tang & Pat... I never thought I'd see a day that I would hear a song influenced by Patti Smith, The Office (USA), and Buddhist Destruction music.

	2:13am red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: The Bonce Cycle
	♥ 2:14am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ DJ Bonce @2:04 Whatcha got planned for Radio Row later?
	2:16am Eric the Hat: ↳ Song: "Please" by "Hey-O-Hansen" Was trying to remember which album I got from Pingipung. Had to look it up to remover it was Cole Pulice’s Gloam, which I had already on tape but was thrilled to see reissued on wax. Excellent album.
	2:20am red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: idk if its my speakers but this track feels wet!! slorp
	2:21am devlawn: ↳ red_door_what_for in ypsilanti @2:20 Sounds pretty good on mine. but I do need new ones.
	2:23am red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: ↳ devlawn @2:21 indeed; i enjoy the textures whether incidental or on purpose
	2:24am GorillaFella: ↳ red_door_what_for in ypsilanti @2:23 Just soaking it all in 🚰
	♥ 2:28am coelacanth∅: ↳ Erik in VT @1:49 something i'd heard made me buy a yello album at the time ("stella") but then i rarely listened to it. never heard the extended mixes. (well maybe at the clubs) but also i had only a casual interest in krautrock. i don't think i ever heard can until the 1990s. it might've changed the game plan if i'd heard it a decade or 2 earlier. ...but i took a whole other course through those times and those genres. "new wave" was always a precarious relationship with me. "punk" too i guess. i was most passionate about some punk, but was particular. (not likely interesting to anyone)
	♥ 2:29am coelacanth∅: (sorry...ancient conversation! not watching the boards)
	♥ 2:29am cbunny: upside down
	2:29am Erik in VT: @matthew(2:03am): oh goodness me!, don’t get me started!… The Homosexuals collection blew my mind on its arrival, so did their issue of the very hard to find at the time Japanese only WHA HA HA albums! ZNR, ART BEARS (esp the 3rd!), those mind expanding ReRec Quarterly Samplers with the custom silk-screened covers & extensive booklets!, all Faust reissues (‘Tapes’ was my fave), Peter Biegvad albums, Slapp Happy: ‘Acnalbasac Noom’ issue, CASSIBER, etc etc … got my copy of crazy Yugoslavian band: Begnagrad from Cutler. R.I.O: anything by Samla Mammas Manna, Etron Fou Leloublanc, Stormy Six, Art Zoyd, Univers Zero, etc. We could be here all night. I procured that cool silk screened mega box set of their 7”singles. Everything I could get my hands on & mind wrapped around. What about your faves?
	2:32am devlawn: I've already had my taco, I've cleaned the kitchen as much at I can.
	2:33am devlawn: Pratt solid name. I like the painter named with that lastname, Mary.
	2:36am Matthew: ↳ Erik in VT @2:29 I had the 16 Dance Party Smash Hits box as well, & all of the Quarterlies. Some of those looked very cool under my blacklight. 1313 & Crawling Wind & Ceux du dehors by Univers Zero, Cassiber, Henry Cow Concerts, Art Zoyd, Magma live, Fat, Morphogenesis, etc. etc...
	2:36am red_door_what_for in ypsilanti: luv this one <3
	2:36am devlawn: ↳ Song: "The Last Year" by "Jessica Pratt" I always love hearing fingers on the fret board.
	♥ 2:38am cbunny: ↳ devlawn @2:32 taco
	2:41am Eric the Hat: ↳ devlawn @2:33 Very cool work. Crazy realistic.
	♥ 2:43am cbunny: ↳ Song: "Yok Haddi Yok Hesabı (No Limit No Calculation)" b... what a beat! beat! beat! straight from the gutter
	2:45am k_ralske: ↳ Song: "Yok Haddi Yok Hesabı (No Limit No Calculation)" b... nice
	♥ 2:45am cbunny: or, if you will allow it, straight from the glitter
	2:51am Erik in VT: ↳ coelacanth∅ @2:28 my screen froze (too many words?) haha. Well, I’m interested. Re Yello’s “Stella” (thier 4th) just after Perón left. Imo, still great (last of the original vibe) kinda changed after that one. Their 1st 4 are their best material. Have several others that are worthwhile (but listening to/streaming their mega mixes via interwebs is where it’s at today). Yea, circa 1982? Hearing CAN (& finding 5 of their best albums all in mint condition one day) was a revelation. I was 16? & it changed my view of post punk cynicism towards jam bands & utilizing the studio as an instrument. What a way to glean gems from extended jam sessions. I tried to collect all material related to CAN. the Holger Czukay albums are still faves to this day. I was definitely into all things punk & esp DIY post punk small pressings etc. (esp European stuff). The extended family tree of Jim Welton etc was a huge cornucopia of delights. The Just Measurers, & L’Voag, Milk from Cheltenham, Amos & Sara, Lowest Note Organ, etc etc …
	2:54am Erik in VT: ↳ Matthew @2:36 I forget - where are you from ?
	♥ 2:58am coelacanth∅: ↳ Erik in VT @2:51 i'd like to get into it sometime soon, but i gots to sleep. after a long day, a lot of driving and carrying stuff and on only ~3 hour's sleep - i don't know why in hell i'm still awake! ...but i will look for some yello remixes online, for a start.
	2:58am Eric the Hat: ↳ Song: "[many tracks throughout the show lol]" by "Falter... Great name, Falter.
	2:59am Eric the Hat: Thanks Abbie. Have a wonderful week!
	2:59am devlawn: Mona cool combo!
	2:59am cbunny: omg good nite!
	♥ 3:00am spodiodi: Great show, thanks , Abbie!
	♥ 3:01am coelacanth∅: ↳ eric the hat @1:55 that troll says only one thing. nothing will change it, and it won't ever change anything. it just, pathetically, feels powerful in foolishly thinking it's upsetting people.
	♥ 3:01am coelacanth∅: Thanks Abbie 'night
